Star Wars Theory

Anakin's massive shift to the dark side was the pivotal point in all of Star Wars. Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one, he ended up betraying Obi-Wan, Mace Windu, Yoda and the other Jedi Masters in order to save Padme's life at the hands of Darth Sidious...however...what we didn't see, were all the horrible (yet crazy powerful) things he did once he turned to the dark side during Order 66...here is EVERYTHING he did during his time on Mustafar before Obi-Wan and Padme showed up!

Darth Vader's body has many different operations and pains now that he's half man half machine after Anakin Skywalker was defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi...but one of the most excruciating, is the one that attaches to his very face; the mask itself...but how?

Darth Vader is the most iconic character in the world, arguably, of course. His design has come a long way since his original concepts by George Lucas and Ralph McQuarrie in 1975.

In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, George Lucas almost approved of a very alternate ending with Padme trying to kill Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar just before Obi-Wan Kenobi showed himself.

In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker had a few extra lines that were cut out right before the killing blow by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The Acolyte by Leslye Headland is given $50M just for PRE PRODUCTION, whereas the Obi-Wan Kenobi show was given $90M...TOTAL. I find this really ridiculous how they couldn't afford the LARGEST Star Wars characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Emperor Palpatine a budget fitting for their potential in a well written story, but rather was given the smallest budget of them all. No wonder it looked like a fan-film sometimes with the small cramped sets (not to mention the shaky cam)... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Grand Admiral Thrawn was inspired by key historical and fictional figures, like Sherlock Holmes and Alexander the Great. In Timothy Zahn’s original trilogy of Thrawn books, which launched the now defunct Expanded Universe, beginning with Heir to the Empire, the Chiss military genius, was charged with the onerous task of keeping the Empire together after the death of the Emperor and the destruction of the Second Death Star. The only non-human to ever be given the rank of Grand Admiral, he hailed from the Chiss Ascendancy in the Unknown Region. Unlike Darth Vader, Thrawn didn’t use brutality and fear to keep his crew in line, instead the Grand Admiral inspired his underlings with his leadership and vision, and only rarely resorted to violence to maintain discipline. He proved quite the impediment for our heroes, outwitting them at effectively every turn and almost succeeding in restoring the Empire, but was defeated at the very last moment by Rogue squad.

so in star wars at this point we’ve seen so many different deaths of force users, whether it be maul being chopped in half, to Dooku being beheaded, Anakin’s fall to Obi-Wan, or later with Disney how they keep gutting one another and surviving. Rey doing it to Kylo, and Reva being stabbed twice in the gut once as a child by darth vader in the jedi temple and later as an adult by darth vader again, and surviving both times. With all of these deaths, the most controversial one of them all, especially after disney has made their projects, is in regards to Qui-Gon Jinn’s death. Palpatine plucked each string so methodically over the teen and young adult years of Anakin’s life, that by the time it came to trusting the jedi council over him, Anakin lost faith in the Jedi and eventually turned to the dark side in order to save his wife. Believing the false promises of grandeur that palpatine had to offer. Qui-Gon Jinn, while very powerful, wasn’t able to survive his death at the hands of darth maul…why couldn’t qui gon jinn have survived if we’ve seen all these other force users get stabbed in the stomach and continue to live? My theory on this is a bit long, so here we go. When a dark side user gets stabbed such as Maul getting cut in half, or even Reva in the kenobi series, we know Dark Sider users feed off of their pain and anger, and what’s more painful than being stabbed or cut in half? So with this pain, they are able to feed off of it and regenerate their willingness to live, their anger keeps them going, keeps them strong. Maul wanted revenge on Kenobi, and as time passed he kept getting more and more insane, filled with rage, as he continued thinking about it. Anakin, who got chopped into a torso and burned severely beyond even being able to speak. It was once he felt this great amount of pain, did his sith yellow eyes burn brightly again from the blue they had just been as he fought Kenobi. This was his anger, pain, hatred all coming into play for what had just happened to him, and this in turn fuelled his ability to carry on. At the end of return of the Jedi, Vader sacrificed himself to save his son, Luke Skywalker. He transitioned into the light side of the force and it was for this reason that he physically died, only to go on to live as a force ghost, forever. Vader kept himself alive in that suit for decades purely off of his own hatred and constant physical and emotional pain. This is what kept him going. Reva surviving, makes absolutely no sense in either of the two scenarios she got stabbed because the first time she got stabbed in the torso by Anakin during order 66, her little youngling state would have not been able to survive such an attack, let alone her abilities in the force weren’t near any of the other jedi masters who died the same wounds that she lived through, twice. Then again as an adult. Rey stabbing Kylo then healing him, I mean, ok, sure, but still, he should have been dead from that same stab that Qui-Gon Jinn got. Now, why did Qui-Gon Jinn die and no one else did? Plot Armour..I mean…because he felt it was the will of the force. Qui-Gon was a firm believer in not changing the will of the force, not changing what has already happened. He felt if he channelled his powers in the dark side to hold on to the physical realm, then things would be contorted to his will, bending the force to his mercy, rather than moving with the force. In the end, had he not died, he wouldn’t have taught Yoda how to become a force ghost, who then taught Obi-Wan. It was meant to be for things to go the way they did, and in the end, Anakin did bring balance to the force by wiping out all the Jedi until it was just Yoda and Luke, Vader and the Emperor. And in the end, this was all it took for the force to work in mysterious ways and for Luke to eventually be the catalyst Vader needed to defeat and overthrow the Emperor. Thus, fulfilling the chosen one prophecy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Who was Jedi Master Yarael Poof? Well, here are 10 interesting facts about this epic looking Master. In Star Wars The Phantom Menace you might remember seeing him in the background, but do you know anything about him? He was quite powerful, and extremely attuned to the force. I would love to see him in maybe a prequel to the prequels or something. To see all those Jedi Masters again, and not just sitting in their seats, would be epic. The Star Wars galaxy is made up of so many different species that each have different powers and abilities, much like Yoda's, who we're learning about in The Mandalorian, especially now that Luke Skywalker has taken Grogu.

B1 Battle Droids, or, Clankers, served their purpose in the Clone Wars for the Separatists. However, who was the most powerful of them? While Anakin Skywalker chopped them down with his lightsaber like they were nothing, they did make for formidable opponents for the Clones Troopers. Seeing them first in The Phantom Menace, we see them up to Revenge of the Sith after Vader destroys the remaining separatist leaders on Mustafar during Order 66, deflecting a blaster bolt back on to the B1 Battle Droid, where they were put out of commission, for the Empire, for good. They were still used in the outer regions of the galaxy where the Empire's surveillance dwindled, however for the most part, they were no longer in use once Palpatine brought Storm Troopers.
