We cover all our favorite subtleties that we adore and respect about Obi-Wan: from his little rogue piece of hair over his forehead, to his posture while sitting, to the way he backhands a blaster bolt or randomly speaks another species' language. Please join us and be thinking of your favorite "subtle" trait you love about Obi-Wan and let...

The first time we ever saw Anakin Skywalker in live action, outside of Darth Vader, was through Jake Lloyd's portrayal of Anakin as a young boy in "The Phantom Menace", which was released in 1999. This young boy, who will go on to become The Chosen One, was delivered by a bright and charismatic Jake Lloyd, who was only 8 years old when George Lucas cast him as the young Anakin.

"Huttslayer", a relatively new but cannon title for Leia Organa Skywalker, is a title that isn't always discussed - but should be! By writing it into the novel "Bloodline", Claudia Gray effectively gave Leia a title filled with honor and respect. When Leia killed Jabba the Hutt, she not only liberated herself, but also avenged her biological father by killing his slaver.

"Nightsisters" is the beginning of a three part arc that focuses on Asajj Ventress. It takes a character that was once introduced to Star Wars as just a villain and provides depth and layers to her character - enough so that we begin to sympathize and feel for this character.

In this episode, we try to see some of Obi-Wan's choices throughout his time as a Jedi from a different point of view.
