6 Times C-3PO Saved the Day

Not everyone in the galaxy is a warrior. Some beings, in fact, can only be described instead as a worrier. But just because you’re not built for adventure, that doesn’t mean you can’t be a hero, as evidenced by everyone’s favorite protocol droid. That’s right, we’re talking about the indispensable C-3PO.

C-3PO may not be a smooth-talking smuggler with a blaster at his hip or a lightsaber-wielding Jedi, but he can still save the day. And he’s done it more than once. Threepio might just be the bravest of all the galaxy’s heroes.

Here are six times that the gabby goldenrod fought through his fear to be an invaluable team player.

1. Threepio called in reinforcements to save Senator Padmé Amidala from the clutches of the Separatists. (Star Wars:

As Star Wars Insider Hits 200, a Look Back at Some of the Legendary Magazine’s Most Memorable Issues

It’s hard to imagine a time when Star Wars Insider didn’t exist. That’s how large the magazine looms in the fandom consciousness. Before, and even after, the advent of the internet it was the place to get breaking Star Wars news, read interviews with creators, and just immerse yourself in the galaxy far, far away, from movies to books to games. I remember getting my first glimpse of Episode I’s gorgeous Naboo starfighters in its pages — a magical thing to see and study and hold in my hands. That memory always reminds me of the power of magazines, print, and Insider. For that, I’ll always be grateful.

Star Wars Insider #200 arrives today, a milestone issue and a testament to the power that the magazine has held for decades. To mark the occasion, StarWars.com caught up with Insider editor

Now the writer/artist is doing a head-first dive into the trash compactor with The Star Wars Book of Monsters, Ooze, and Slime, coming April 13 from DK Publishing, which will be exactly what it sounds like: a celebration of all of our favorite creepy creatures, yucky locales, and strange beings of the galaxy far, far away. Written with a fun sense of humor and filled with Cook’s super-cute illustrations, it promises to answer important questions like “Does Jabba the Hutt ever take a bath” and “Why are wampas so cuddly,”

How Relationships Are at the Core of Star Wars

What makes a story a Star Wars story? It’s a question I have asked numerous Star Wars fans and creators over the last few years. After writing the text for the newly released book Star Wars: I Love You. I Know.: Lessons in Love and Friendship I can tell you my answer — relationships, relationships, relationships (with a mix of pew-pew and a dash of out of this world creatures).

Like many Star Wars fans, my love of the galaxy far, far away is very personal. Which is why I took the task of writing a book about love and Star Wars very seriously. I can’t remember a time in my life where Star Wars wasn’t there — like a close friend of the family. With a sprawling story spanning
