Weird Things That Canonically Happened in Star Wars: A Thread

I’ll be adding more overtime. Feel free to comment with your own.
1. Luke Skywalker and C-3PO are essentially brothers, and just happened to meet each other without either one ever knowing. This means C-3PO was purchased from Jawas to work for his brother’s family, and became the subservient aid to his sister Leia.
2. Saw Gerrara was friends with a hideous mind-reading slug monster named Bor Gullet, whom Saw used to torture information out of rebel spy Bodhi Rook. Bodhi was trying to tell Saw the same information anyway, but Saw insisted on using the slug monster.
3. Darth Maul survived being cut in half and falling thousands of feet into a garbage disposal. He sustained himself on pure hatred for many days, until he was unknowingly transported to a trash planet and given robot spider legs. A talking snake named Morley provided him food.

4. On multiple occasions, Jedi have displayed an ability to survive the vacuum of space for multiple minutes at a time. Plo Koon at least has a breathing apparatus on at all times, but neither he, Kanan Jarrus, or Leia Organa needed a suit to prevent freezing or depressurization.

5. On a planet called Mortis, Anakin Skywalker was shown a vision of himself becoming Darth Vader. This discover instantly turned him to the Dark Side. Luckily his memory was erased shortly after, and the planet itself may or may not be a dream or an illusion.
6. During the Clone Wars, the Republic sent Senator Jar Jar Binks and Jedi Master Mace Windu on a mission to help the neutral planet Bardotta. Everyone there hated Mace and thought Jar Jar was awesome. Jar Jar also spent the night with the planet’s queen. The Clone Wars were wild

7. The Millennium Falcon’s navigation system is actually the brain of a Droid’s Right Activist named L3. She spent her life, such as it was, insisting she was no one’s property. After being uploaded to the ship, she was won from her owner in a game of cards.
8. You know how C-3PO mentions his new red arm in Force Awakens? He has that cause he lost his old arm on a perilous mission. The red one previous belonged to another droid that sacrificed himself for 3PO. 3PO wants to talk about it, but everyone’s too annoyed to listen.

9. Lightsabers are never red naturally. To turn one red, a Sith performs the act of “bleeding” the liner crystal, channeling all their pain into the weapon until it reflects their rage. Being extra and full of angst is a prerequisite for all Dark Side users.

10. Kylo Ren had the rare Force Ability to freeze blaster fire in mid-air, a power he basically never used in any major battles .
11. Rex, who was the Clone Commander under Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, fought in the Battle of Endor 26 YEARS LATER! And keep in mind that Clones were designed to age at twice the rate of normal humans. What a boss!

12. There is a species of animal in the galaxy called a Puffer Pig that can sniff out minerals and inflate themselves like beach balls when in danger. They are so sought after for mining operations, Lando Calrissian traded a Twi’lek woman he’d just met to a crime lord for one.
13. Hero of the Rebellion Han Solo didn’t have a last name until an Imperial Enlistment Officer decided to be clever and write one in on his application.
14. Though historians previously believed the Han Solo shot Greedo first, later evidence shows that Greedo fired his blaster slightly earlier, which Han avoided by nonchalantly “mmm mmm mmm”ing his head three inches to the right in a 30th of a second.
15. Anakin Skywalker a virgin birth; there was no “father” in the traditional sense. Instead, Emperor Palpatine, using his knowledge of life-manipulation from Darth Plagueis, secretly impregnated Shmi Skywalker using the Force, hoping to create a perfect apprentice
