RetroZap is many things, but first and foremost, it places an emphasis on Star Wars coverage and analysis that far outweighs all other franchises–by design. This site started with Star Wars, and it remains at the core of what we do. From editorials, to deep-dive analyses into the Original Trilogy, the Prequel Trilogy, the Sequel Trilogy, the Star Wars Story film series, animated series, Legends (EU / Expanded Universe), comics, books and publishing, collecting and more–we do it all. Look here for all things Star Wars at RetroZap—it’s among some of the best content we produce, becasue at heart, we are still just passionate fans, just like you, expressing what we love about the galaxy far, far away.

Our writers range from as many diverse backgrounds and generations of the franchise as there are, so RetroZap can be seen as a perfect forum for new ideas and deep insight into the world’s most famous and most recognizeable film franchise.


In a super light and not-at-all serious discussion this week (JK!), we dig into the First Order and extremism! How did George Lucas, JJ Abrams, and others envision the main bad guys of the Original Trilogy and Sequel Trilogy? Have they grown beyond the label of “Space Nazis” at all? Where do communism, fascism, terrorism, and other extremist ideologies come into play? Join the discussion on Beltway Banthas!

Dan Wallace is the author of beloved Star Wars books “The Jedi Path” “Book of the Sith” and “Imperial Handbook”.

John Liang interviewed Wallace last week and got the scoop on what the book reveals about the rebellion, galactic politics and more.
