    When Han Solo Lost the Rebellion's Money Gambling

    The Rebels were in deep, deep trouble.  They had just destroyed the Death Star, but they had suffered a huge loss at the battle of Vas Vrogas, where Vader single handedly almost killed Luke and Leia. The Rebels needed to rebuild.  And to do that, they needed supplies. They sent Luke and Han Solo on a mission to get resources, but something went wrong.  Solo decided that he might be able to double the Rebellion’s money with a quick card game. And he lost it all. How did he lose it all?  And why didn’t Luke stop him? That’s today’s story...

    The Stormtrooper Who Wielded a Lightsaber

    Lightsabers were forbidden during the Empire.  They were the weapon of the Jedi, and as such, were contraband. So how did this particular stormtrooper manage to find one, and how did he use it to terrify Rebel fighters in all of his battles? That’s today’s underrated moment...

    When HAN Let LUKE Fly the MILLENIUM FALCON

    Over the few weeks following the destruction of the Death Star, newly appointed Rebel Alliance members Han Solo and Luke Skywalker have made quite the duo. Initially clashing due to their vastly different ideologies, the pair soon began to see eye to eye. So much so that the former farm boy was granted permission to pilot the all too pressure jewel of Han’s crown… … The Millennium Falcon. How did Luke convince him to take the reins of his baby? And what kind of disaster could it lead to? That’s today’s underrated moment...

    When LUKE Smuggled Cattle on the MILLENIUM FALCON

    Han Solo loved the Millennium Falcon. It was more precious to him than almost anything, and his friends often joked that if he was forced to choose between Leia and the Falcon, it’d be an easy choice for Han….. he’d pick his ship. So if it was so precious, then why did he allow Luke to smuggle a herd of filthy cattle aboard the Falcon? That’s today’s story...

    How Sith Bleed Lightsabers

    A dark side user could not be considered a proper Sith without wielding a crimson lightsaber.  But in all the years of harvesting Kyber crystals, no one had ever found a stone that emitted a natural red light.  No… the method for creating a Sith’s red lightsaber was more difficult than just finding a rock. Essentially, they needed to make the Lightsaber bleed….

    When Han And Chewie Wielded Lightsabers

    A few weeks after Darth Vader learned that Luke Skywalker was his son, and a bit longer since the destruction of the first Death Star, Luke had gone missing. The young Jedi apprentice had ventured to the smuggler’s moon of Nar Shaddaa in search of a ride to the Imperial planet of Coruscant, where Luke hoped to break into the Jedi Temple, and learn more about the ways of the Force. Luke was young, still, and foolish.  Coming to Nar Shaddaa without protection meant that he was an easy target.  The moon was filled with criminals, cut throats, and Hutts. A particularly notorious hutt known as Gracchus learned that Luke was in his territory, and he sent out an order to capture the would be Jedi and his lightsaber.   The Hutt was fascinated with the ancient Jedi Order, and was delighted to have a living member in his midst. But he didn’t want to learn from Luke. He wanted to be entertained. Gracchus forced Luke to fight in a gladiatorial arena against a gigantic beast known as Kongo the Disembowler. But the fight had drawn attention from forces around the galaxy. Han, Chewie, Leah, and a woman claiming to be Han’s first wife, Sana, had come to Nar Shadaa to rescue Luke.  And they were making their way through the arena. At the same time, Vader, having learned of Luke’s location, made his own attempt to capture the boy, sending in a squad of stormtroopers. And so the story begins...
