Hayden Christensen, the man behind one of the galaxy’s most controversial character arcs (hello, Jedi-turned-Sith), is packing up his lightsaber and heading to the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh for Comic Con Scotland 2025, taking place October 11th and 12th. Yes, you read that right. The actual Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader from the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka is appearing live in person. This isn’t a hologram, a Force ghost, or a deepfake. It’s Hayden. In the flesh. And he’s ready to smile, sign, and snap photos. While Christensen may have once lamented sand’s coarse and irritating nature, he seems to have no issue with Scotland’s famously unpredictable weather. That’s commitment. How Much to Meet the Chosen One? If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “You were the Chosen One!” directly to Anakin’s face, now’s your chance—though it’ll cost you. Autographs with Hayden Christensen are priced at £157.50, while…
Darth Vader
Does Vader Know Leia is His Daughter?
The Star Wars universe is full of dramatic reveals, but perhaps none is quite as galaxy-shaking as the revelation that Darth Vader is not only Luke Skywalker’s father but also the father of Princess Leia Organa. For years, fans (oops, I said it) speculated on whether Vader knew about Leia’s true parentage during the events of the original trilogy. So, did the Dark Lord of the Sith ever realize that his own daughter was right under his nose, blasting Stormtroopers and sassing Imperial officers? The Early Years: Vader’s Blind Spot To understand why Vader didn’t sense Leia’s presence early on, you have to look at the timeline. In A New Hope, Leia is captured, interrogated, and even witnesses the destruction of her home planet, Alderaan. And yet, Vader seems blissfully unaware that the defiant senator standing before him is his flesh and blood. Awkward family reunion, huh? This oversight can…
Fortnite Adds AI Darth Vader with James Earl Jones’ Voice
Fortnite has done it again. The game that’s practically a metaverse in its own right just added Darth Vader as an interactive AI character. But this isn’t just any Vader—this is James Earl Jones‘ iconic voice, brought to life through AI technology. You can find him at a brand-new in-game location called Vader Samurai’s Solitude, where players can engage in conversation and ask him questions. James Earl Jones and the AI Legacy Before his passing, James Earl Jones made a monumental decision: he signed the rights to his voice away to AI technology. This groundbreaking move allowed his voice to live on, continuing to give life to the galaxy’s most feared Sith Lord. In Fortnite, that means you’re not just talking to some generic voice actor imitating Vader—you’re hearing the real deal, synthesized through advanced AI. Jones’ decision wasn’t just about preserving his legacy; it was about embracing technology that…
Admiral Motti: The Frustrated Face of Imperial Bureaucracy
When Admiral Motti scoffed at Darth Vader’s “sorcerer’s ways” during that iconic scene in A New Hope, it seemed like just another example of Imperial arrogance. But let’s dig deeper: what if Motti’s snarky dismissal wasn’t born out of sheer ignorance, but out of years of bureaucratic slog and relentless Imperial oversight? Especially now, with Andor Season 2 shedding light on the inner workings of the Empire’s bureaucratic machine, Motti’s frustration feels more justified than ever. The Grind of Imperial Bureaucracy: Andor’s Perspective Imagine life as an Imperial officer. Your days are spent buried in logistics reports, troop deployment schedules, and endless strategy meetings. You’re not just sitting around, twirling your mustache and cackling evilly—you’re overseeing massive military projects that span entire star systems. The Death Star wasn’t built overnight; it was a 20-year slog of financial maneuvering, secret construction, and endless paperwork. Andor Season 2 did a brilliant job…
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…
