This is really cool. by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas' Original Palpatine Backstory Revealed by Lucasfilm Employee: George Lucas wrote 50 scripts on his show about the Underworld of Coruscant. This proposed show was being worked on before Disney bought Star Wars from George Lucas. This show, in my opinion, gave inspiration to The Mandalorian. I think we'll see lots of tie ins in the show eventually. I hope we see other familiar planets like we saw in the prequels and originals with Anakin, Obi-Wan, Palpatine, Luke and Vader etc... by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas Reveals Yoda's First Name Star Wars Explained: Baby Yoda is all the craze...but what about original Jedi Grand Master Yoda? Remember him? In the first early drafts of The Empire Strikes Back with Luke and Vader, George Lucas actually had different ideas for the script which is found in the book I'm covering today. His fist name for Yoda is revealed as well as what exactly he wanted to do with Luke and the rest of everyone. I think the concepts are quite interesting, do you? What do you think? Like the original scripts? Or what we got? by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas to CONNECT Vader Yoda Obi-Wan and Luke's Minds in ORIGINAL Script: In Return of the Jedi's original script, which was when it was called Revenge of the Jedi, we get to learn what George Lucas actually had planned for our favourite characters.

George Lucas' Response to Killing Off Luke Skywalker: In Star Wars Return of the Jedi, George Lucas and his team discussed the early treatment of the story and its characters, namely, Luke Skywalker. A good debate transcript from 1981-82 reveals Geroge Lucas' response to Lawrence Kasdan when proposed to kill Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi. George has an eloquent way of discussing the matter as to why he feels that would not be the best thing at all. We also get a glimpse into an alternate ending to Return of the Jedi with Vader's cape getting stuck during the Death Star countdown, after Palpatine dies. This is when we see Luke taking Vader's mask, putting it on, and saying "'Now I am Darth Vader.'" Kasdan was in favor of that ending, but it's ridiculous in my opinion and I'm very happy George Lucas went with the ending that we got from 1983. Do you think George Lucas has the same outlook on Luke Skywalker dying in The Last Jedi? I would assume so, as he had treatments for the by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas FULLY Explains Jedi and Sith History: What a treat this is. I'm so thankful for Paul Duncan's book The Star Wars Archives 1999-2005. It has so many interviews and exclusive things with George Lucas that reveals things I never knew about. It's always a fun time reading from this book because you never know what you find in each new page. I feel it's necessary for us to understand what George Lucas thought of the Sith and Jedi by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas ORIGINAL Sequel Trilogy Revealed (MAUL AND LUKE RETURN) | Nerd Theory: The original sequel trilogy treatment, according to the book and Paul Duncan, was to have Darth Maul return with his apprentice Darth Talon to fight Luke Skywalker who banded together the remaining Jedi from Order 66 who had still survived after all this time. by Star Wars Theory

The FAKE Return of the Jedi Script with Luke Written to Avoid Spoilers: The Making of Star Wars Return of the Jedi reveals a ton of stuff about the movie and original script. In today's episode, let's go over the fake script that was put out there when the film wasn't released yet. George Lucas instated this fake script to avoid spoilers in the audience, which of course, was way easier to avoid back then, than today. In this fake script, we get Luke Skywalker defeating Palpatine, throwing the Emperor over the railing as Vader did. We also see a different Vader when Luke unmasks him. A much more non-human Anakin Skywalker. This fake script is the most official fan-fiction we could get for the ending of Return of the Jedi. If Luke killed the Emperor, it wouldn't have closed the circle for Anakin's fulfillment of the prophecy. Anakin HAD to kill the Emperor. It was Anakin's redemption that made the story come full circle, and I'm so happy it went the way it did. by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas on Yoda Using Luke's Lightsaber in Original Script: Another awesome excerpt from Paul Duncan's The Star Wars Archives book. In this episode, I want to give my thoughts on this snippet where George Lucas talks about Yoda taking Luke's lightsaber to fight a monster on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back. I think this would have been pretty cool to see, and it would have shown us that Yoda still has it. by Star Wars Theory

Anakin's Ghost Visits Luke and Yoda on Dagobah - Star Wars Explained Original Scripts: What if Anakin had shown up to Luke Skywalker on Dagobah with Yoda? How is this possible, you ask? Well, in the original screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back, George Lucas was going to have Anakin Skywalker be a different character than Darth Vader. This would have made Obi-Wan Kenobi's lie to Luke, about his father being killed by Vader, true. It was later changed of course, and we got Vader dropping the line "NO! I AM YOUR FATHER!" which still shocks Star Wars fans who watch Empire for the first time. by Star Wars Theory

How Luke CRASHED a Star Destroyer on Jakku (CANON) - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars The Force Awakens, we were introduced to the planet Jakku, where we saw a massive Star Destroyer having crash landed. In the canon book Tales of Luke Skywalker, we are told of how he crashed a star destroyer on the planet itself. Could this be the one that we saw, or just one of many? The stories here lead into Star Wars The Last Jedi so I'll definitely be covering as much from the novel as I can before the movie comes out, for you all. Hopefully we'll find some information here about Snoke, Rey and Kylo Ren, along with Luke Skywalker's training after Return of the Jedi. by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas Cuts Luke's Lightsaber Scene in ORIGINAL Return of the Jedi Script PART 3: In the original screenplay/script for Star Wars Revenge of the Jedi (Return of the Jedi), George Lucas had Luke Skywalker build his own lightsaber, where Yoda would speak to him and tell him that his training is now complete.

What if Anakin Was Addicted to Bacta? - Star Wars Theory Fan-Fic: In today’s fan-fiction we’ll be taking a spin on the Star Wars universe and visiting the comedic scenario on what if Vader was addicted to bacta. Now typically in my fan-fictions, I like to be as serious and accurate as I can be. Staying true to the characters that George Lucas wrote, and seeing where the story would lead if a few events were to slightly shift from the story we know. In today’s fan fiction, we won’t be doing that. We’ll be taking a scenario that may be happening somewhere in a multiverse in a galaxy far, far away. This will be written in the same fashion as my what if obi-wan was addicted to death sticks episode, which was one of my earlier fan-fictions done about 5 years ago. So without further ado, let’s see what would happen if Vader was addicted to Bacta. by Star Wars Theory
