Why Bor Gullet Freaks Me Out More Than Anything Else in Star Wars

“The thing in the shadows repelled him, offended him on a level too intimate for words.” — Rogue One: A Star Wars Story novelization by Alexander Freed

In a galaxy filled with strange and unusual creatures, Bor Gullet stands out (slithers out?) as the creepiest. 

Star Wars certainly has its share of creatures that go bump in the dark, from the shrieking mynocks in the depths of a cavernous asteroid to the snarling vexis lurking in the dim caves beneath the sands of Pasaana. But none are as sinister and spine-tingling as Bor Gullet, which made its unforgettable debut in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. And as it’s the season for all things creepy, it seemed an appropriate time to talk about why.

Hasbro PulseCon 2021: Inside the Vintage Collection Nevarro Cantina Playset

One of the most memorable locations in The Mandalorian is coming to our galaxy.

The Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Nevarro Cantina, a playset inspired by the key Mandalorian Season 1 watering hole, was officially revealed today at Hasbro PulseCon 2021. Throughout Season 1, the cantina served as a meeting place for bounty hunters, including the Mandalorian and Greef Karga, before ultimately becoming the site of Mando and crew’s last stand against Moff Gideon. (It would go on to be rebuilt and repurposed in a clever way in Season 2.) Recreated in 3.75-inch scale, the set incorporates screen-accurate details, including destroyed windows, bar stools, and spotchka drinks, and comes packed with a Death Trooper figure on a Mandalorian-themed cardback. For action-figure photography, diorama building, or just play, the Nevarro Cantina looks to be

Artist Jack Hughes Celebrates LGBTQ+ History Month with the Women of the Star Wars Galaxy

Most of the Star Wars action figures that Jack Hughes pulled out of his older brothers’ toy box were as worn and weathered as the used-future space opera they were based on. All except for one: Princess Leia Organa.

“She was almost immaculate,” Hughes tells StarWars.com, overlooked by his siblings and rarely conscripted for a play battle. “I loved how beat up and loved they were — scrapes and dents, faded paint. Star Wars always felt really gritty and mature in the constructed realities I’d form in my head as a child.” But in the pristine figure of the rebel princess, Hughes saw potential. Not only did she loom large in the stories he created during those long hours of play, Hughes often put her in the pilot’s seat of

5 of the Scariest Star Wars Sidekicks

There are plenty of monsters in Star Wars, but sometimes the most frightening things aren’t creatures with razor-sharp teeth. Sometimes scary can come in the form of a cool mercenary, a mad doctor, or a small pet with a haunting laugh. They come from the underworld and the ranks of the First Order, but what unites them is that they have all partnered with the most notorious criminals and scoundrels in the galaxy. This menacing group are not Sith, nor are they warriors for the dark side; the characters on this list are in a fearsome class all their own.
