In the seriously awesome world of Star Wars there is so much going on that it might as well be a reflection of the real world. Aside from all the amazing action, romantic plots and twists and moments of comedy, you have deep intellectual, political, and economic discussions about their world that would take a lifetime to sit down and fully understand.

At least it would if you tried to pick everything up by sitting down and watching each movie countless times. But thankfully that kind of commitment is no longer necessary, for the internet has much to offer in the way of information, and even more so when it comes to Star Wars trivia. So we wrangled a few of the lesser known facts that you might have missed and put them together in this list to fuel your phantom menace curiosity. So sit back, open your mind and may the force be with you.

    BrodieWanKenobi @brodiewankenobi 600 Just a reminder that this is the direction that George Lucas took Star Wars after the OT. It has always been for kids. Now adults take ownership of this silly little franchise like it's their birthright and like they know what's best.

    BrodieWanKenobi ❤ @brodiewankenobi 600 I understand many gripes with The Last Jedi, many of which I had initially. But like anything, as you rewatch it more and more, you start to appreciate the meaning and intention of everything along with the small details you wouldn't have noticed before. TLJ is the best sequel.

  • Well, we most certainly did not see this coming. However, to go from saying that any movie you rewatch over and over will become your favorite movie amongst the sequels of a franchise is a pretty long swing to take. What do you think? Does Brodie Wan Kenobi have a point?

    BrodieWan Kenobi @brodiewankenobi 000 Grogu is a one of a kind character and I think people overlook how special he is because of marketing over-saturation. Special not only to Star Wars, but just generally as a global phenomenon. There's no other character like him in the history of TV/film.

    BrodieWan Kenobi @brodiewankenobi 600 This was my absolute favorite moment in SW as a kid. I can't tell you how many times I sat there and rewound it over and over. I used to stand on the edge of the pool diving board and reenact it. The amount of sauce Luke had to fake jumping into the Sarlacc, double flip back on to the skiff, catch the saber, and just start hacking...my goat

    BrodieWanKenobi ❤ @brodiewankenobi A New Hope is so insanely iconic. A perfect movie. Star Wars could have stopped there.

  • As much as it might be hard to swallow for some Star Wars fans. It is hard to deny that they could not conceive of a better plot, cast and execution than a New Hope. Sometimes it really is better to quit while you are ahead. But you only learn from experience so here is a lesson for all of us.

    BrodieWanKenobi ◆ @brodiewankenobi The biggest flaw of TBOBF is clearly the structure of the last 3 episodes, but people just don't acknowledge how insanely good the first 4 are. It gave Boba such a changed perspective after surviving certain death while still giving us badass, iconic Boba moments.
