Star Wars is a story of hope. It’s a classic tale, really, people banding together to free their galaxy from darkness and tyranny. Yet, despite its optimistic nature, it is a franchise that has its fair share of grit and grime. There is a memorable and well-established underworld throughout the galaxy, which gives us some […]

The end of The Empire Strikes Back puts our heroes at their lowest point. Han has been taken. Luke has not only lost his hand but learned the disturbing truth of who his father was. Leia has lost contact with the Rebel Alliance, not sure of their fate after the Battle of Hoth. While the […]
