If you were planning to spend May the 4th sitting quietly and not thinking about Star Wars, Ubisoft has other plans.

General Grievous: the name alone conjures images of whirling lightsabers, coughing fits, and a truly unfortunate HR record for the Separatists. But underneath all that cybernetic armor and pure rage, one question remains — how old is General Grievous, really? Grievous may seem ageless thanks to his intimidating mechanical upgrades, but even cyborg supervillains have birthdays (or whatever es for them on Kalee). Let’s dive deep into the history, lore, and a few questionable life choices to uncover the real answer. Who Was General Grievous Before the Cybernetics? Before he was the wheezing terror of the Clone Wars, General Grievous was Qymaen jai Sheelal, a proud warrior from the planet Kalee. He belonged to the Kaleesh species, known for their reptilian features and fierce combat skills. Grievous rose to fame fighting off the technologically superior Yam’rii species during the Kalee–Huk War, where his tactical brilliance caught the attention of the…

Revan is one of the most iconic and mysterious figures in Star Wars history. A Jedi Knight turned Sith Lord turned redeemed hero, Revan’s story spans wars, betrayals, and Force-fueled redemption arcs that would make even Anakin Skywalker raise an eyebrow. But for all the lightsaber duels and mind-wiping drama, one simple question remains: How old is Revan in Star Wars? Let’s break it down by timeline, lore, and some good old-fashioned Force-powered math. 📅 Revan’s Birth and Early Life Revan was born around 3994 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), according to Legends continuity (since his story has not yet been fully integrated into current Star Wars canon).

Andor Season 2 is gearing up to hit our screens with the kind of grit, espionage, and existential dread that made the first season such a refreshing curveball in the Star Wars universe. And thanks to a new interview on StarWars.com, we finally have a closer look at who’s back, who’s new, and who might be raising eyebrows in all the best (or worst) ways. If Season 1 was a slow-burn thriller wrapped in space bureaucracy, Season 2 looks ready to kick things up a notch.

Ryan Gosling. A galaxy far, far away. And now… possibly not that far away. According to screenwriter Jonathan Tropper, the much-rumored Star Wars movie from director Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling could arrive “sooner than you think.” And for a project that’s had more mystery than a Jedi prophecy, that’s a pretty big deal.

Here’s what we know, what we’re guessing, and what could be heading toward hyperspace. 🚀 A Star Wars Movie with Ryan Gosling? Yep, That’s Real The idea of Ryan Gosling starring in a Star Wars movie sounds like the result of an ambitious fan cast, but it’s actually been circulating for a while now. Director Shawn Levy,…
