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?

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?

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.
