Though he had only been birthed as a Sith Lord for a relatively short amount of time, Darth Vader was making himself well known across the galaxy as a particularly violent force.

But this notoriety didn't only stretch to his enemies.

This fear was felt within his allies in the Empire too.

Especially within the order of Jedi Inquisitors, a secret sect of Jedi hunters created by Emperor Palpatine.

Shortly after his defeat to Obi-Wan on the planet of Mustafar, Palpatine placed Vader in command of the Inquisitors.

Darth Vader wasted no time in teaching them the hard lessons of the Dark Side of the Force.

Luke was one of the greatest pilots in the Galaxy, and after the destruction of the first Death Star, one of the most famous.

So why did he decide to pilot his X-Wing head first into a massive Star Destroyer?

Welcome to Underrated Moments from Star Wars, a podcast where we take a look at all the amazing moments from Star Wars that don't get the love they deserve.

Here's what we have for you today....

Emperor Palpatine wiped out most of the JEdi order simply by commanding his clone troopers to execute order 66.  That line, hard coded into the memories of every clone soldier in the Republic army, prompted the warriors to point their blasters at their JEdi commanders and open fire.  Simultaneously, on hundreds of worlds across the galaxy, the Empire was able to snuff out the fire of the Jedi Order…

But that wasn’t the last time Order 66 was used.  

This is that story…

The Mon Calamari are a noble race of deep sea dwellers that have been known to fight against the forces of evil.

But what happened to those brave Calamari soldiers during the Clone Wars when the Empire dawned?

Did they stay with the Jedi, or trade allegiances, and join the new Sith Emperor?

Well, this particular Mon Calamari played a part in both major wars, as he forged a name for himself by attempting to overthrow Darth Vader’s position in the Empire…

But he wasn’t on the side of good.

Vader’s studies under the Emperor had proved gruelling and violent.

Mission after mission, planet after planet, death after death…. Palpatine instructed his apprentice to carry out tasks and assassinations that further destabilised what was left of any non-Imperial systems.

It resulted in the murder of hundreds of beings.

Did this huge loss of life from Vader’s missions have any effect on Palpatine?  Did he regret making his apprentice carry out these atrocities?

After returning from one particular mission, the Emperor finally addressed the topic...

Luk Skywalker often talked about his time flying through Beggar’s Canyon on Tatooine.

But what exactly was Beggar’s Canyon?  How difficult was it to traverse?  And what type of spacecraft did young Luke use in order to navigate through the high, canyon walls?

Princess Leia was a vicious soldier, but also a principled one.

But sometimes her noble principles came back to haunt her.
