The Most Impressive Non-Force Users in 'Star Wars' Legends
The world of the Star Wars Legends is massive, spanning from the earliest recorded history of the galaxy to over a century after the Battle of Endor and the destruction of the second Death Star. As mentioned before, the story of Star Wars is mainly centered around the Force and those who use it. The heroes use the light side of the Force while the villains use the dark side.

10 Things About Anakin That Don't Make Sense
The Star Wars universe has introduced us to so many memorable characters throughout its existence, but none more so than Anakin Skywalker. The original trilogy would confirm that he's once a Jedi Knight, like Obi-Wan, but who turns to the dark side of the Force before the events of the first film. It wouldn't be until 1999 when the first of the first film of the prequel trilogy was released that we would be introduced to a pre-Vader Anakin, setting up his tragic backstory.

New Leaked Set Photos From 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Series Show Filming Is Underway
If there's one thing that both detractors and fans of the prequel films can agree on as a positive, it's Ewan McGregor's performance as the most iconic Jedi knight of all time, Obi-Wan Kenobi. (Sorry, Yoda.) Despite his lack of material to work with in The Phantom Menace, by the time Attack of the Clones hit theaters, it was clear that everyone's favorite Jedi was going to be one of the diamonds in the rough. McGregor seemed truly invested in his character and seemed to be having the most fun until Ian McDiarmid got to really let loose once Emperor Palpatine took over.
