In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, we have the fate changing scene of Anakin giving in to his anger and for the first time obeying Palpatine’s command to kill someone. I always wondered, with that long pause between Palpatine, Dooku, and Anakin, there was plenty of time for him to expose who really was sitting in that chair.... Learn more about your ad choices.

At the end of Revenge of the Sith amidst their duel on Mustafar,, Anakin tells Obi-Wan that from his point of view the Jedi are evil...Why? There must be a reason other than "Anakin's crazy and power hungry." If we examine his point of view while observing Vader's thoughts in the non-canon book Dark Lord, then we can have a much better understanding of HOW he could even think the Jedi were evil...especially after killing Younglings.

All throughout Star Wars (the Phantom Menace to Revenge of the Sith and into Return of the Jedi) we have seen only one Sith Master and one Sith Apprentice.

Darth Maul from The Phantom Menace never uses force lightning...why is this? We don't even see him use it in the Clone Wars, or Rebels for that matter, either. Why?

Welcome back to another fantasy battle, today we’re going to analyze the fantasy fight between Palpatine and Count Dooku. Now, before some of you scoff and say well Palpatine would obviously win, and while you are probably right, I think it’d be interesting to deep dive into their fighting styles, force powers and overall psychology to see how the fight would really turn out. Would it be more difficult for Palpatine than the Jedi he fought in his office? Or would it be easier? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If Luke never tried to kill Ben Solo. Things would have been entirely different. Ben would continue to communicate and be under the manipulation of Snoke, however his destruction of Luke’s jedi temple that night would or would not have happened. Regardless, it would have happened eventually. That night or another night. Let’s say Ben was going to do it anyways that night, then Luke wouldn’t have been knocked out. He’d have been fighting for and protecting his students. He’d have destroyed the few students who rallied with Ben and easily taken Ben out, too. This could cause two outcomes. One would cause Luke to bring Han and Leia to his temple to talk with Ben, and 4 of them together could discuss things. Luke wouldn’t be driven to run away and cut his force powers off because A) he wouldn’t be ashamed of trying to kill his nephew because he never did, regardless of it being a fleeting shadow of a thought or not. And B) his students wouldn’t be slaughtered and his Jedi temple would still stand! This would cause Ben to escape from his parents once they took him home, and he’d leave to unite with Snoke. The other outcome is, Ben gets away that night, he escapes by the skin of his teeth, just strong enough to flee from Luke’s grasp. He steals a ship and leaves to find Snoke. Snoke essentially does what he originally did with Kylo which was not complete his training until the events of the force awakens. However, now there would be no point in having the map to lead to Luke Skywalker, because he never went into exile. So in order to understand this new Luke, we have to explain the force awakens slightly. The map for Luke Skywalker, would turn into a message to Luke Skywalker, to come back as a rebellion fighter, and join the resurgence of new rebels to destroy starkiller base and defeat Snoke. Who they don’t know is Palpatine. Poe gives the message to BB-8 who runs away and fights Teedo in the desert. And we can just say Rey meets BB-8 the same way she did in 7, then meets Finn and Poe etc. Jump back to the current time where Luke doesn’t kill Kylo and Kylo runs away to Snoke. Luke would continue to train Jedi for the next decade and become even more powerful in the force. He would continue to educate himself with new texts and scrolls throughout the galaxy, and commune with the force ghosts. He would constantly stay in touch with his sister through the force and keep tabs on his friends. Visiting them periodically and stopping by Leia’s home while gallivanting through the galaxy, finding new artifacts. Luke would become so unbelievably powerful, that no one dared to exterminate him. This forces Snoke to train Kylo even harder. Making Kylo into what he was always wanting, a dark, brooding, powerful fallen Jedi. Using both the light and dark to power him. He would lead the first order under Snoke’s command. Snoke would order Kylo to go to Exegol where his training would be completed for real. He would meet Palpatine and face his test against the Sith troopers. I’m not talking about the stormtroopers in red paint, I’m talking about real badass Sith troopers with dual wielding lightasbers. Palpatine would also have cloned, imperfectly, a cyborg Maul, and trained him to fight like the real maul used to, albeit without force abilities. This Maul would be a more terrifying version of Grievous. More skilled, and with the same personality and fighting style as the real Maul. He would just lack the powers of the force, albeit, still force sensitive, just not very much. Kylo would prove himself, and fight hard against this Maul. He would become very powerful and pass all tests, defeating his enemies. Kylo moves like Anakin. Sidious sees it, and smiles. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Star Wars The Last Jedi, we got to see Snoke in the 'flesh'. After the novelization has now come out, there are some things that make me wonder if Snoke really is who we think he is...the big bad guy...I don't think he is...I think as Qui-Gon Jinn has said, there's always a bigger fish, and I don't think that Snoke is the biggest one...

In Star Wars The Last Jedi, Snoke used force lightning on Kylo Ren. We've never seen this displayed by the Supreme Leader...however th attack was different from what we're used to...why did the lightning hit the ground first?

In Star Wars The Last Jedi we've gotten lots of worry about Luke Skywalker being weak, and, well....lame... Well, we now have a quote by the director Rian Johnson in an interview that describes briefly what Luke will be like in this film in terms of his mental clarity...however...does this mean he's just being careful with his words? Will we see a full power Luke Skywalker against Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren? What about Snoke? Is he not as powerful as the new possible ruler of the galaxy? I really want to see Luke swing his green lightsaber around with speed, killing the enemy with the same violence Darth Vader did in Rogue One a Star Wars Story. What do you think? Are you looking forward to seeing Luke's new power(s) in Star Was The Last Jedi? Or are you more into seeing Kylo's new abilities and his trials commanded by The Supreme Leader Snoke?

Many have speculated it’s an old pod racer helmet from the phantom menace, while others say it is indeed a rebel helmet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I think this episode is more important than some of my others. I believe it's important to always be respectful to fellow Star Wars fans regardless of your opinion. I've been a fan for almost my whole life, and I have seen all types of infighting in this emotional fandom. Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor open up about the backlash that Star Wars got during the prequel era. I believe this played into some reasons for George Lucas selling Lucasfilm to Disney.
