George Lucas Reveals How Luke can Bring his Ancestors Back: In the "Making of" Star Wars books, we get to find out what exactly George Lucas had plans for, regarding the original trilogy. Today we're going to learn about a new ability he was going to give Luke during the early early talks for Star Wars. Think it'd be cool if Luke brought back his ancestors? Anakin? What about other Jedi, perhaps? Obi Wan? by Star Wars Theory

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

How Luke ORIGINALLY Took Down an AT-AT Face to Face (Before The Last Jedi): In Star Wars The Last Jedi we got the big scene where Luke Skywalker showed up as a force projection to make a foolery out of the First Order while the Resistance were empowered by his might and hope. In the legends comics when it was Lucasfilm running the show with George Lucas as the owner, we had a very similar scene where Luke Skywalker goes up against AT-ATs. Here's how he fought it and took it down with his lightsaber and his immense force powers. 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. It would have been a cool scene. He also has many other things added which I go over and explain in this PART 3 of George Lucas original Return of the Jedi script. 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

Dave Filoni Said This About Luke Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano: In Disney Gallery on The Mandalorian Season 2 all about Luke Skywalker, we got to see Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau and the rest of the team at Lucasfilm discuss the epic return of Luke Skywalker/Mark Hamill. The moment was monumental for me and so many other star wars fans who had a strong reaction to Luke Skywalker saving Grogu and the team. It warms my heart knowing Jon and Dave are such legitimate fans of Star Wars. I fully believe the stories they will tell in the future will be beyond our wildest dreams. 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.

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

Luke Uses Sith Lightning on Vader in Empire Strikes Back Original Script: in the early scripts for The Empire Strikes back, as noted in 'the making of The Empire Strikes Back" book, we get Luke Skywalker fighting Darth Vader as he's using force lightning. The idea was eventually scrapped of course, but it's interesting to learn of George Lucas' thought process behind giving Luke this power against his father. The Emperor remains to this day, to have some of the most powerful sith force lightning in existence. 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

Will Luke Skywalker Be WEAK in The Last Jedi? (ANSWERED) - Star Wars Explained: 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? by Star Wars Theory

Why Darth Vader Was WEAK Against Luke in Return of the Jedi - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Return of the Jedi we get the final fight between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. We've seen Vader in Rogue One, we know his wrath and power, so why was he so weak against Luke in both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi? Could Luke defeating Vader be what he means in Star Wars The Last Jedi? Will this be how he defeats Snoke? Will he even fight Snoke? I hope we see Kylo burn the temple, it would be cool to see Luke get angry from that (if he does). by Star Wars Theory
