It can't𝓰 all be Baby Yoda and Loth-c🍰ats. Star Wars fans are reminding us that the galaxy far, far away is actually a terrifying place, full of horrors spine-chilling enough to keep you awake at night. 

In a Reddit discussion over the scariest things in the Star Wars univers🃏e, fans have plenty of ideas. "Those damn pesky Geonosian brain worms," – these creatures featur🍰ed in The Clone Wars, and, once they invade a host body, can totally take control of their unfortunate victim. 

– introduced in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Return of the Jedi, the Sarlacc Pit slꦚowly digests anyone unlucky enough to fall into it (unless you're Boba Fett and can stage a m🌌iraculous escape, of course). 

gets a little more esoteric: "It's surprising no one mentions this, but the dark side. If 🎃the Force is mystical then the exact nature of the dark side is apocryphal. Is it an aspect, a corruption or its own thing? Does it have a will or is it just there? Is it truly intoxicating or is this a placebo effect born of ego? It's a very interesting concept."

"Being trapped with Darth Vader in a narrow hallway," – as anyone who's seen 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rogue One can attest, t🍌hat would be pretty terrifying.&ဣnbsp;

"The dark sid꧟e worlds. Korriban, Dromund Kaas, Dagobah, Yavin 4, Dathomir, Exegol… they all seem to be places straight out of horror movies really," . 

The galaxy is a dangerous place, clearly – for oꦆu✅r pick, we're still shivering over that massive spider from The Mandalorian season 2.
