In Star Wars the Phantom Menace...Qui-Gon Jinn came across Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One. He saved the boy, and he could have saved Shmi Skywalker, Anakin's mother, easily if he tried at least. So why didn't he? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Revenge of the Sith, the duel between master and apprentice set the tone for the Galaxy in Star Wars between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The high ground won, leaving Anakin burned, limbless and more machine than man. His powers were less than before, but there was one force power in particular that he lost...one that could have changed everything... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In today’s fight scenario we’re going to take something I would have loved to see in Star Wars movies. Anakin Skywalker vs General Grievous in Revenge of the Sith. The two had a short (pun intended) exchange in episode 3 where Anakin told him he’s shorter than expected, and Grievous wasn’t too happy about it. Let’s try to understand both fighting styles of Anakin and Grievous, as well as force powers, physical powers, and psychology. Do you think Grievous could take Anakin Skywalker? Do you think he could take Luke? What about Mace or Yoda? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In today's VS series, let's go over the fan fiction of what would have happened if Luke Skywalker were to fight Palpatine. What if he didn't toss his lightsaber away after defeating Vader? What if he faced Sidious and confronted him? What would have happened?

In Star Wars The Force Awakens...we get the most unexplained and somewhat hated ending with Rey defeating Kylo so easily. Kylo Ren is a pupil of Luke Skywalker, this means he should be able to beat a person who doesn't really know what the force even is, let alone the Jedi and Sith...Why Did Kylo Ren lose so easily? Are there some parallels here like with Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker? What could this mean for Snoke wanting Rey? Is there something hidden here that could be theorized on in this episode where we see the colours of the light and dark (blue and red) flashing as she is 'awakened'? Could she be just like Anakin Skywalker, a new chosen one? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Anakin and Obi-Wan's duel left some questions unanswered as to how Anakin lost so easily. After Order 66 he was extremely powerful with the dark side. The killing of Younglings and separatists is what pushed him to the edge, unlocking his new powers. Why couldn't he have beaten Kenobi? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Star Wars The Phantom Menace, during the battle on Naboo with Darth Maul vs Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, how did Darth Maul lose? Why?

In Revenge of the Sith, during the scene where Mace Windu leads his team of Jedi Masters to confront and arrest Palpatine after Anakin revealed his identity as a Sith Lord, we see the Sith kill 3 Jedi Masters so easily.

Why did the most powerful Sith Lord, Darth Sidious lose to his apprentice Darth Vader? Surely, his powers were enough to easily combat the 'chosen one', yet...they weren't.

Why did obi wan lose to count dooku in episode 2 attack of the clones? While it’s heavily debated that Obi Wan lost to Dooku twice, however defeated Anakin who killed Dooku, circling back to our original question and not really making much sense. While I don’t have to say that Lucas wanted to create more of a character development towards Anakin leading into episode 3, there is lots of unknown information here for just the regular Star Wars movie watcher. Let’s dive a little deeper shall we. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

General Grievous, the famous and powerful Jedi exterminator. His ability to track down jedi and kill them was one of his most highly esteemed skills. Having originally been a reptillian creature from the planet Kaleesh, Grievous was later turned into a cyborg at the request of Sidious and the oversight of Dooku. Using Jedi Mater Sifo Dias’ blood to circulate through his veins. As he adorned his tribal mask to complete his robotic appearance, he was one of the most gifted Jedi hunters in the galaxy. Having defeated countless keepers of the peace, and taking their lightsabers as a token for his collection. With such ability, including his 4 dangerous lightsaber wielding arms, it makes one question, how did Obi Wan defeat him? Don’t get me wrong Obi wan was a skilled jedi, but he was not the best in relation to master windu or yoda. That’s what we will discuss in today’s episode of star wars theory.

Why did Mace Windu Lose to Palpatine in revenge of the sith? Now while I know many windu fans are thinking, hey, he didn’t lose, he just got blind sided by Anakin. I couldn’t agree more with you, but there’s more to it than just that. While some say Palpatine was toying with him until Anakin showed up, and others think he merely just made a mistake, we’re here to once and for all, with canon evidence, state the facts. First, we need to know a little about Mace’s fighting style. Master Windu used Vaapad, a personal variation of the 7th form of lightsaber fighting styles, this was the same form Darth Maul used. Aggressive attacks, always on the offensive, and using acrobatic moves to finish the fight. While Vaapad used all of these, its main purpose was to draw on dark side energy from the opponent and use it against them until they ran out of steam. Mace was a master of Vapaad, as well as his purple lightsaber was indicative of his abilitye to harness both the light and darkside powers. His other ability, was called shatterpoint. This allowed him to see the world around him in exactly that, a shattered glass view. Allowing him to pin point the weakest part of a structure of opponent, and attack there.

Qui-Gon Jinn was one of the finest swordsman in the Jedi Order, he had frequent sparring practice and experience with the most talented duelists such as: his mentor, Count Dooku, Mace Windu, the creator of Vaapad which harnessed darkisde and lightside energies, Master Yoda, and Jedi Weapon Master Anoon Bondara. Jinn was a master of the fourth form of lightsaber combat, Ataru. The same form Yoda used and focused highly on aggressive acrobat maneuvers. In combat, his bladework was wide and powerful, marked by heavy, two-handed strikes, followed by a quick parry to cover his vulnerable spots. Despite the form's weakness to blaster fire, Jinn's mastery of Ataru was so good that he could easily defeat blaster-wielding opponents. Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's NEW canon episode, we take info from the new book Thrawn Alliances and Treason (thanks DelRay for the copy). The book informs us that Skywalkers actually refer to powerful Chiss women who could navigate through starfields using their third eye, or in other words, the force.

Count Dooku is one of the coolest and most underrated characters in Star Wars. Trained by Master Yoda, and Master to Qui-Gon Jinn who taught Obi-Wan Kenobi, to teach Anakin Skywalker...he's kind of like Anakin's great grandfather so to speak. But that's not why I think he's awesome. He was just so different than the bland and dry Jedi who acted like robots. He felt the Jedi should adhere to the force, not the politics of the republic.

I wrote a very fan service / fun alternate (loose) ending to the Mandalorian season 3. Hope you smirk at it and LMK what you think! At the end of mando season 2, Grogu leaves with luke skywalker and r2d2...only to return to Din after a couple episodes of him with Luke in the book of boba fett show. I think what would have worked better, was if grogu stayed with luke, and when the time of the mandalorian season finale came, Grogu felt something wrong with Din in the force, once he was captured by Moff Gideon, as the events played out the way they would have basically, just without grogu there, Luke grogu and R2 get in the X-wing and fly over to Mandalore as per Grogu’s wishes. He has been training with luke for 2 years now as jon favreau said, so he’s much stronger and in tuned with the force, so he feels Din is in trouble. They head to Mandalore, break Din out, until they come across the hall of Clones. It’s Din, Grogu, and Luke, as Bo Katan fights the storm troopers in beskar with the other Mandalorians, siege of mandalore style. The clones aren’t moff gideon, but rather Clones of Darth Maul, as we find out that Moff Gideon is a Darth Maul loyalist...i mean, if we can’t figure it out from the clues all throughout the show, the horns and double bladed staff are a dead giveaway. So all these force sensitive darth mauls come alive, and luke has to fight them. This would be a major nod to George Lucas’ original plans for the sequel trilogy he was creating and had written treatments for before Disney did their own thing, thinking they know better. Where he had Luke train new jedi for his jedi order and Darth Maul would return to train his apprentice Darth Talon. While Luke fights Maul, Mando helps Bo Katan fight Moff and Praetorian and it’s an all out war while Mandalorians fly overhead with the stormtroopers and newly upgraded dark troopers with them. I’d have loved to see some bounty hunters as well working for the empire flying in there to make it real difficult for the mandalorians. This is where Boba, Fennec and Black Krrsantan show up to blast em in the Slave 1. Dropping seismic charges where applicable and blasting off out of his ship with his jet pack to join the war. While the Mythosaur gets angry at all the seismic charges being dropped and rises to absolutely destroy the area around them. Grogu and Luke use their powers to tame the beast for the moment, and Bo rides it, becoming the supreme ruler of Mandalore as the enemies are defeated. Super fan fictiony. Super fan service, but ultimately, more exciting than what we got. Oh and the dark saber isn’t destroyed. Mandalore is back to where it was before the Empire’s purge. Grogu back with Din. Luke goes to meet Han and Leia and introduced to Ben Solo, nodding to his journey as we will see him later. Boba in Slave 1 with crew off on an adventure. Bo Katan lights the torch and leads Mandalore Everyone off to their own story, to be met up with again in Dave Filoni's movie (and the Ahsoka show coming up) Learn more about your ad choices.

You all tagged me a lot on this star wars theory regarding moff gideon being a clone in the mandalorian season 3. Let's go over the theory online and I'll give you my full thoughts and theory as to how this could be true...but also how it couldn't be... You decide...

We end the episode with Din kicking his feet up at his new cabin, and Grogu lifting a frog with the force, like he did when training with Luke Skywalker. Ok, look, this episode felt more like a they lived happily ever after than a major cliff hanger or a larger threat entering to galaxy. I would have liked if Thrawn’s fleet showed up to kill Gideon perhaps, or show up outside Mandalore. I think they’re keeping Thrawn for the Ahsoka show, as we don’t know where he is at this point. This season of the mandlalorian had no direction like the first 2 seasons. It focused a lot on Bo Katan, which I liked, but I feel like we didn’t get as much Mando as we thought we would, like previous seasons. I hope the next season will return us to Mando and Grogu going on adventures with hopefully a much bigger threat like Thrawn or someone else, Snoke perhaps. I’m still processing the season, but overall, it just wasn’t nearly as good as the others. Pacing was wild, some episodes moved super fast, while others dragged on, while some just wasted important episode time, like the lizzo episode. I think the destruction of the dark saber could set this up for Grogu to make his own, considering they save the crystal. Maybe we could learn how they made the dark saber. Grogu definitely connected with the Mythosaur, I think this is foreshadowing for him to ride the beast and lead Mandalore in the future. Maybe decades from now. I don't know where Din and Grogu go from here...it kind of seems like they're back to season 1 with his Bouny Hunter days, which were the best parts of the series. Maybe we could have some interesting adventures into the depths of the Galaxy, discovering more force sensitives, bounty hunters or night sisters with magic. Maybe Snoke? Thrawn?

Yoda said he was 100 when he trained Jedi...Grogu is about to have a massive transformation and growth spurt. Maybe if he sees Din in some situation, he will transform. Maybe his species really ages quite differently than we think. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
