Family relationships have always played a special part in Star Wars stories. And few family bonds are stronger, or in some cases as complicated, than that of siblings. Some Star Wars siblings like Sabine and Tristan Wren grew up together, while others like Luke and Leia didn’t discover their relationship until years later.

Here’s a look at some of the most memorable sibling relationships from Star Wars stories across the years.

Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa

The reveal that Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were brother and sister was one of the most memorable and surprising twists that came out of the original trilogy. Even though they grew up in extremely different circumstances — Luke a moisture farmer on Tatooine, Leia raised as a princess of Alderaan — they

Darth Vader and Kylo Ren, grandfather and grandson, share a great deal of similarities, despite their individuality. Like Anakin feeling as though the Jedi were keeping secrets about the Force from him, young Ben Solo felt that he was being held back in his training. While a number of things contributed to either of their falls to the dark side, it was their desire for more power that ultimately pushed both over the edge. And so, their parallel falls from grace began. With Halloween season upon us, here’s a look at the similarities between two of the scariest villains in the galaxy.

Manipulation

Both Vader and Kylo Ren’s fall to the dark side had some outside influence. For Vader, he was seduced by Darth Sidious’ promise of a power

The Sith were the shrouded foes of the Jedi who drew power from the dark side of the Force. For over a thousand years the dark warriors harnessed their anger, fear, and hate to unleash their strength. Their goal was nothing less than limitless power. Some of them had visages so terrifying that they immediately inspire fear. Others were the stuff of chilling legends whose legacy leaves a lasting effect on the galaxy.

Here are six Sith to inspire you to dabble in the dark side this Halloween!

1. Darth Bane

The ancient and powerful Darth Bane changed the very fundamentals of the Sith. He was the last warrior standing after a devastating war. Recognizing that the power-hungry Sith were more of a threat to each other than

The visual language of Star Wars speaks to Greg Perkins today in the same way the ominous poster art for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace captured his attention as a teenager. Perkins, now the art director for Corkcicle, had watched the original trilogy as a kid and spent hours recreating those scenes with a friend’s covetable Millennium Falcon-shaped carrying case of Star Wars action figures. “He would make Chewbacca noises, and I would try to mimic them, but be hilariously short of anything sounding accurate,” he tells StarWars.com. “We would watch the movies and then re-play scenes with the action figures. It was great fun!”

Flash forward to 1999 when Perkins and his friends went to see The Phantom Menace in theaters. “I remember the movie poster was incredible
