The legendary black lightsaber is more than 1,000 years old and was created during the Old Republic by Tarre Vizsla, who was the first Mandalorian Jedi and ruler of Mandalore. After his death, the saber was kept in the Jedi temple until members of House Vizsla took it back. It stayed in...
Nope, Darth Maul is killed by the end of Episode I and never referenced again. You may as well just start with the assumption that Dooku was the only apprentice. Does it ever matter that Obi-Wan was being trained by Qui-Gon? Nope, Obi-Wan is well into training Anakin at the start o...
Watch Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith to witness how a young Anakin Skywalker was consumed by the Dark Side, before finishing with Return of the Jedi. The Machete Order cuts out Phantom Menace entirely, since almost everything in the movie is self-contained and has no effect...
8.Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith(2005) Sithis the clear standout among the prequels, although that’s a bit like saying an intense case of the dry heaves was better than two other times when you vomited all over the bathroom. Anakin turning into Vader turning into Frankens...

A long time ago, it was easy to know how to watch the Star Wars movies in order – until 1999, all of the movies (which began in 1977 with Episode IV: A New Hope) fit onto the timeline in the sequence they landed in theaters. Then the prequel film trilogy, which charts Anakin Sky...
Now we have good reason to suspect the Raven is as much of a liar as Obi-Wan Kenobi was when he told Luke Skywalker that Darth Vader murdered his father Anakin. (With similarly good intent, presumably.) The past can be unwritten. Or perhaps what Bran is writing now affects the past ...
