Jar Jar Binks. Love him or hate him, there’s no denying that this bumbling Gungan from Otoh Gunga has left a lasting mark on the galaxy. But there’s one question that’s probably floated through your mind at some point between his chaotic Senate speeches and surprisingly effective political maneuvers: How old is Grand Jar Jar Binks? To answer that, we need to take a little dip into the swamps of Naboo and sift through Gungan history, political chaos, and, of course, a fair bit of clumsiness. Jar Jar’s Early Years – The Swamps of Naboo Jar Jar Binks was born on Naboo around 52 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). That’s right, this floppy-eared Gungan was hopping around the swamps long before the Trade Federation decided to take its tax problems to the next level. When we first meet Jar Jar in The Phantom Menace, the year is 32 BBY,… 36108

If there’s one person in the galaxy who knew how to enforce order with a side of terror, it’s Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. The guy had the authority to blow up planets and still managed to keep his uniform impeccably pressed. But behind that chillingly calm demeanor and perfectly sculpted cheekbones lies a question: How old was Grand Moff Tarkin? Let’s journey back through the Imperial archives and dig up the timeline of the Empire’s most efficient bureaucrat (and occasional planetary exterminator). Tarkin’s Early Years – A Childhood on Eriadu Wilhuff Tarkin was born on the Outer Rim planet of Eriadu in 64 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). If you’re doing the math, that means by the time of A New Hope, Tarkin was a sprightly 64 years old. Not bad for a guy who spent most of his time staring down Darth Vader without flinching. Growing up on…

On this day back in 2015, news broke that Diego Luna had been cast as Cassian Andor in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It’s wild to think that exactly ten years later, his final portrayal of the rebel spy is set to premiere in Andor Season Two on Disney+. A decade is a long time in the Star Wars universe, and Luna’s journey as Cassian has been nothing short of transformative—not just for the character, but for Star Wars storytelling as a whole. The Announcement Heard Across the Galaxy When Lucasfilm announced Diego Luna’s casting in 2015, reactions were mixed. Luna was known for his dramatic roles in films like Y Tu Mamá También and Milk, but a gritty space opera set in the Star Wars universe? That was new territory. Yet, as soon as Rogue One hit theaters in 2016, it became clear that Luna’s portrayal of Cassian…

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…

The Death Star is dust. Palpatine took a fatal tumble. Vader’s gone full tragic redemption story. And still, things are far from okay. Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath lands us right in the middle of the fallout, the political scramble, and the emotional wreckage of a galaxy that’s seen too many battles and not enough healing. If you ever wondered what happens after the Ewok party wraps up—beyond the confetti and fireworks—Aftermath gives you a front-row seat. This Isn’t the Star Wars You’re Used To Let’s get this out of the way: Wendig doesn’t write like Zahn or Luceno. His prose is clipped, quick, often present-tense, and it sometimes reads like he’s narrating a heist movie rather than a galaxy-spanning epic. That said, it works here—mostly because this galaxy is burning. Aftermath is gritty, weirdly funny, unflinchingly political, and deeply personal. And it’s busy. If you’re expecting a straightforward narrative, you’ll need…
