How Did Galen Erso Die? A Look at the Tragic End of the Death Star’s Architect
Ah, Galen Erso. The man who somehow managed to design the most feared weapon in the galaxy with a built-in ‘Oops!’ button. If you’ve ever watched Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Galen’s death was a key turning point in the film, but it’s more than just a plot device—it’s a moment that ties together the moral conflict and sacrifices that define the Star Wars saga. The Man Behind the Death Star Before we get into the “how,” let’s touch on the “who.” Galen Erso was an Imperial scientist—well, reluctantly so. His expertise in energy and kyber crystals made him the perfect candidate to design the Death Star’s superlaser. But Galen wasn’t your typical mad scientist; he was more of a reluctant genius held against his will. Imagine being forced to build the universe’s largest gun while wishing you were back home making…
The Kalkite Conspiracy: Did Galen Erso Sabotage the Death Star from the Start?
The Death Star wasn’t just a weapon; it was a symbol of Imperial dominance. But what if the Empire’s most feared superweapon was hamstrung from the very beginning by its own chief engineer? Enter: Galen Erso, the man responsible for the station’s reactor core design. And here’s where the conspiracy theory kicks in—what if the entire hunt for Kalkite on Ghorman was a deliberate act of sabotage orchestrated by Erso himself? What Is Kalkite, and Why Was It So Important? Kalkite is a rare mineral native to the planet Ghorman, renowned for its energy-generating properties. According to Imperial documents, it’s a key component in coating reactor lenses for maximum energy output. The Empire’s obsession with Kalkite extraction from Ghorman led to aggressive mining operations, destabilizing the planet’s infrastructure and leading to massive unrest. And yet, for all its supposed importance, Kalkite is never mentioned again after the Death Star’s initial…
How Old Is Saw Gerrera? The Age of a Rebel Extremist in Star Wars
Saw Gerrera is one of the most influential rebel fighters in the Star Wars universe. First introduced in The Clone Wars, he went on to appear in Rebels, Jedi: Fallen Order, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. His radical approach to fighting the Empire set him apart from the likes of Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, cementing his reputation as the original “extremist” in the Rebel Alliance. But how old is Saw Gerrera during all these events? Let’s track his age across the galaxy’s most defining moments. 🍼 Saw Gerrera’s Birth and Early Life Saw Gerrera was born on Onderon around 52 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). This would place him slightly older than Anakin Skywalker, who was born in 41 BBY. Saw grew up on Onderon, a jungle-heavy planet often caught in political strife, which would later become the perfect training ground for his rebellion. He was…
Fortnite Players Demand a Permanent Star Wars Game Mode: Will Epic Games Deliver?
Fortnite has always been that game where you can be anyone, from a banana with an attitude to the literal Dark Lord of the Sith. But if recent chatter in the community is anything to go by, it seems like players are craving something more permanent—an all-out, galactic Star Wars game mode. The Galactic Call for More Over the years, Fortnite has dabbled with Star Wars events that left players wanting more. Lightsabers, blaster rifles, and even full-blown space battles have popped up during limited-time events. But now, the Fortnite community is raising their collective voices (and probably their V-Bucks) for something a bit more long-term—a Star Wars game mode that sticks around for good. Why? Because who wouldn’t want to drop out of a battle bus straight into Mos Eisley, lightsaber in hand, ready to duel it out with Bounty Hunters and Jedi alike? The events have been fun,…

Dedra Meero in Andor: Ice-Cold, Methodical, and Weirdly Relatable
There are plenty of villains in Star Wars, but few strike the same nerve as Dedra Meero. Introduced in Andor as a mid-level bureaucrat in the Imperial Security Bureau, Dedra isn’t your typical dark-side enforcer. She doesn’t choke subordinates or twirl a cape. Instead, she builds power the old-fashioned way: one well-documented memo at a time. And that’s what makes her terrifying. But also, strangely… relatable? Who Is Dedra Meero? Dedra Meero is an ISB officer who quickly rises through the Imperial ranks thanks to her intellect, ambition, and complete devotion to authoritarian order. She sees connections where others see paperwork, detects rebellion where others see petty theft, and, unlike most of her superiors, actually does her job. Played by Denise Gough, Dedra is a walking case study in how fascist regimes thrive on obsessive overachievers. She’s not evil because she enjoys pain (though she tolerates a fair amount). She’s…

Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 25 and Epilogues
Chapter 25 “Well, young lady, you are quite lucky,” Doctor Tutt said while she examined the readouts. The medical droid scanned the stump of her leg taking measurements. It looked at Rae and its photo receptors blinked. “Yeah, real lucky,” it said with a slight hint of sarcasm in its voice. Rae bit her lip at the tone of the droid, not knowing if she wanted to laugh or cry at the comment. “Pay him no mind,” the doctor said not looking away from the scans. “We can fit you with a prosthetic leg within a day if you want something to match your skin tone and texture, or a few hours if you aren’t that picky.” “Prosthetic?” Rae asked. “It is the least difficult way to get you your mobility back.” She looked up from her tablet. “I mean we could try to regrow your leg. But that would…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 24
Chapter 24“And we repeat,” Holdo said. “All ships focus your shields to port and fire as soon as you have a solution. We will only be on station fifteen seconds.” She leaned against the railing, her fingers tight around the foam guard. If the Brightsong and Tarkin’s folley could not manage to take out the corvettes creating the interdiction field then they would have to jump into the middle of the fight on their next pass. She held her breath as they came out of hyperspace, this time behind the fleet. The Imperial fleet immediately opened fire on them but thankfully most of their weapons were not able to target to their aft. Her fleet began pouring fire out at the ships. Ion bolts, turbo laser fire, and proton torpedoes hit the Imperial ships. The few smaller ships that were targeted sustained severe damage, the Star Destroyers were holding…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 23
Chapter 23Poe couldn’t believe the firepower that he saw the Star Destroyers unleash. They had not needed to destroy the task force with turbolaser fire, the weapon could have done that. BB8 whistled over the comm. Poe looked down at the scanner. Over one hundred Tie-Fighters were heading toward them. He had no doubt that they were the new ones that they had been fighting. BB8 gave a low tone of dismay. “What do you mean?” Poe asked as he adjusted the sensors. The gravity field was wrong. “There are interdiction fields.” He slammed his fist on the arm rest “Rogue Leader, Arclight.” “I read you Archlight.” “We have to buy the ships time to get away,” Wedge said. “They have interdiction fields,” Poe said. “I know. We will figure something out.” “Where is our backup?” Poe asked. “I don’t know, they will be here soon.” Poe cursed and rolled…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 21 and 22
Chapter 21Kylo paced along the upper deck of the bridge. For five days the fleet had been jumping in and out of hyperspace as they made their way across the galaxy. He had been disappointed that the Lady Luck had escaped destruction at Coruscant and there was a fleet mobilizing. He was oddly grateful to learn that the Star Dust had made it to Coruscant. At least they could wrap all of this up at once. “We have less than three minutes until we leave hyperspace, Lord Ren,” Admiral Hux said to him. “All hands are at battle stations and all fighters are prepared to launch as soon as we come out of hyperspace.” Kylo paused in his pacing and nodded to the Admiral. In Kylo’s opinion, Hux was insufferably arrogant. As insufferably arrogant as he was, Kylo knew that he was justified in being so. Admiral Hux and volunteered…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 20
Chapter 20The Star Dust exited hyperspace near Yavin 4. Rae pressed the button on the comm station. “Yavin control, this is the Star Dust.” “Star Dust, this is control. Please identify yourself.” She sighed. “This is Padawan Rae and Padawan Lowbacca. We are requesting permission to land at the temple.” “Permission granted. Master Skywalker asked to be made aware of your arrival.” “Thank you, Control, Star Dust out.” Rae leaned back in the chair. The bacta cuff was still on but Rose had told her that it would probably come off once they could get to a real medical facility. “Get us down please, Finn,” she said. “I do not show any ships approaching us,” K7 said from the co-pilot’s seat. Finn nodded and engaged the engines, probably entering the atmosphere a bit quicker than needed. The past five days, they had all felt like the fleet was right behind…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within. Chapter 18 and 19.
Chapter 18. Kylo stood straight with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the hologram of the older scarred man before him. Kylo was glad that this was over the echonet and not face to face. “Lord Ren, do you mean to tell me that your former pupils managed to escape you? Are you sure that they escaped?” Kylo ground his teeth. “I did not let them go if that is what you are hinting at, My Lord,” he said and pointed to the bandage on his face. “I did not get this because I was playing nice. And I realize that this pushes the timetables forward. It is nothing that is not insurmountable.” “Lord Ren,” the man said and crossed his arms. “You have underestimated your students several times now. They were the ones that sensed me. I called you there to kill them and eliminate the…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 17
Chapter 17Finn leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes. He sighed and unlatched his helmet. He set it aside and pulled off his gauntlets. He heard someone coming up behind him and looked back. Rose stepped around the K7 unit and sat down in the copilot’s seat. “You ok?” she asked. Finn shrugged. “Well, I am now wanted for treason, sedition, and murder, so other than that, I am fine.” “Well, you are among company,” Rae said from the doorway. Lowbacca ducked in and set her in the seat that K7 wasn’t collapsed against. “Really ought to thank you two for saving our hides.” Lowbacca nodded in agreement. “You’re Finn, right?” Finn nodded. “This is Dr. Rose Tico.” Rae nodded to Rose as she turned her seat around. “I’m Rae and this is Lowbacca.” Rose watched her. “What are the Jedi doing in Imperial space?” “Looking for him,”…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 16
Chapter 16Finn felt that they were far enough away from the city and pulled up taking the Star Dust through the atmosphere and out into space. He applied more thrust and broke orbit. He had the onboard navi-computer begin to calculate a course. The dedicated computer was more effective than an astromech droid but it couldn’t help do repairs to the ship. Lowbacca growled and pointed at the sensor display. Finn looked over to see two blips closing rapidly with the Star Dust. Finn focused the sensors on them. “Interceptors,” he said. He adjusted the sensors. “And eight more behind them.” Lowbacca growled something at Finn. “No idea what you said,” Finn said, “But, we just have to keep ahead of them for a little longer and we will be out of the planet’s gravity well.” The ship rocked as a few blaster bolts hit the shields. “It’s going to…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapters 13 and 14
Chapter: 13 Lando paced in and out of the cockpit. Each time he came in, he looked at the holo-projection then turned and walked out again. Nein sighed as Lando came back in once again. There wasn’t anything that they could do until the padawans contacted them. Lando grumbled then turned to walk back out of the cockpit. BX began making noise and whistling. “What?” Lando said. Nein said something and pointed at the holo-projection. Lando looked at the Holoprojection. It zoomed in on a ship that was descending toward the city. “It can’t be,” he said and sat down in the pilot’s chair. BX whistled again. Nein looked at some other information on a different screen. He muttered something to Lando. “Well, poodoo,” he said. “Of all the luck to see them again.” The hologram turned as the ship sailed overhead. The words Star Dust clearly visible. “I think…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 12
Chapter 12 “Oh, come on, Lowie,” Ren whispered. “Aren’t you in yet?” Lowbacca growled at her from where he was half inside a console. He grabbed hold of the frame and pulled himself out. “Don’t get that tone with me, Furball,” Rae snapped. He bared his teeth and held up a small device. “You were able to get the information?” she asked. He nodded and tucked the device into one of the pouches on his belt. Lowbacca paused as he pushed himself to his feet. He glanced to Rae and saw her frozen. He growled softly and she nodded. “I sense it to, Lowie. Someone’s coming.” She glanced over to him. “Where do we go?” He did not have to think about it. He knew the only way out was up. He pointed upward and growled. Rae didn’t argue, only gave him a curt nod. They both ran, heading out…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 11
Chapter 11 General Dene stood next to an I9L2 intelligence droid. He stood with his hands behind his back wishing that he had another cup of caff but there wasn’t time. The glossy black droid was not tall as a K-series security droid. Its torso was larger around to hold the computing power needed. The general sighed and scanned the night sky. “What is taking him so long?” he said. “According to sensors, he entered atmosphere a few minutes ago, General Dene,” the droid said. “His ship should be landing shortly.” Dene and I9L2 looked around as they both heard a humming sound. They both turned in time to see a large corvette come around the tower into view. The black color of the ship seemed to absorb the light around it, creating hole in the sky. “Does it have a cloaking device?” Dene asked. I9L2 was quiet a moment…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 10
Chapter 10 Lando held his breath as he brought them out of hyperspace. BX had engaged the cloaking device before they had completely slowed to relative speed. For a moment they were flying blind until the small extensions poked past the cloaking field. Rae stood behind Lando’s chair, holding onto the back of it. Nein monitored the ships systems from the co-pilot’s seat. Lowbacca watched the forward screen from the engineer’s seat. Nothing could be seen for a moment then the screen flickered and then they could see outside the ship. “Cloaking devices suck,” Lando said. “Sure they keep things from being able to see inside the field, but they also prevent you from being able to see out.” Lowbacca growled and MTD translated. “You are using passive probes? How big are they?” Lando nodded. “They are a millimeter in width. There are six that stick past the field.” “Can’t…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapters 8 & 9
Chapter 8 Ben strode through the halls of the Jedi Temple. He turned the corner and went into the council chambers. Luke was looking at the holographic map of the galaxy that hung in the center of the room. “You’re agitated, Ben,” he said turning away from the map to face Ben. Luke had a full beard that was going grey and white, very little of the color from his younger years as left in it or the hair atop his head. His eyes were bright though, seeming to pierce through Ben. “What has you upset?” Ben stopped and sighed. He pushed his hair back from his face. “I cannot get R2 to tell me what Lando and my padawans were looking into.” “I thought you were going to let them be and see what they came back with,” Luke said. Ben looked past Luke to the map…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 7
Chapter 7 Lando climbed down the steps that lead to the Lady Luck’s cargo hold. Rae and Lowbacca have spent most of their time there. He came down and watched them a few times. Sometimes they were just levitating some of the crates and each other, other times, they were practicing with the stun sticks that he saw Rae and Master Solo using on Yavin. This time, they were sitting a few meters apart. A torch hung in the air between them. Two more lay on the ground, twisted and broken. Occasionally, the torch would snap on then immediately shut off. Rae’s eyes were closed and she was sweating. Her body was tense as she sat there cross legged, hands going between being relaxed and balling into fists. Lowbacca sat with his legs crossed as well. His eyes were opened but it looked as if he were looking through Rae…
Star Wars: Darkness Rising: The Threat Within Chapter 6
Chapter 6 Finn fixed his helmet in place, returning to his duty as a faceless Stormtrooper. Captain Phasma had already donned her helmet and was striding down the ramp from the Stardust to the hangar of the Star Destroyer. Finn followed her in time look though the opening in the floor of the hangar and see the stars become streaks as the Star Destroyer Vigilance jumped to hyperspace. There was much activity in the hangar. Troops moving equipment and guiding heavy lift droids. Finn saw a group of officers were moving toward Captain Phasma. When they got close, Captain Phasma came to attention as did Finn. He let her salute. “Captain,” one of the men said who had a Colonel’s rank and saluted back. “Colonel,” she answered in response. “What is going on?” The colonel sighed and turned to walk toward the open space that shown with the shifting colors…
