George Lucas Says Anakin Could Have Survived WITHOUT Vader's Suit...: In the making of The Return of the Jedi book, there is a dialogue chapter where George Lucas discusses Anakin Skywalker had he not used Vader's suit that Palpatine gave him in Revenge of the Sith. I would love to know more about this from George as he glossed over it. What would have happened had Anakin chosen the light side, and received plenty of force healing? What if Vader got the most up to date suit that the galaxy could make for him? How limited, or rising, would his powers become? 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

What if YODA went to Fight DOOKU Instead of Yaddle in Tales of the Jedi? BOTH WIN/LOSE ENDINGS (Fan-Fic): In today's fan fiction created by A.I.

How Vader Could Have Survived - Star Wars Explained: in Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader eventually lets go of his rage and anger and allows Anakin Skywalker to die. It's this moment that he is passed on to the other side of the force to become a force ghost, which we see later on. However, if George Lucas wanted to keep him alive, then this is how it could have easily been done. A power Vader has used many times in the comics. 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 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

Qui-Gon's Thoughts on Anakin Becoming Vader: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader novel by James Luceno is an amazing book from when George Lucas owned Lucasfilm (no longer canon). I think the internal struggle of Kenobi learning that Anakin survived and is deeper in the dark side now as Vader, would be an interesting dilemma to see. Qui-Gon Jinn can be heard here in this scene to help Obi-Wan Kenobi cope with learning that Vader is alive and that Anakin's destiny will be decided by the force. This also shows us that Qui-Gon is very aware of what's going on with Anakin and how he has singlehandedly changed the fate of the galaxy, the Jedi via Order 66 and gave rise to Palpatine. 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

EVERYTHING Obi-Wan SAW as He Became a FORCE GHOST (CANON) - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars a New Hope, Obi-Wan transcended into the realm of a force ghost as Darth Vader struck the final strike with his lightsaber.

Yoda? Qui-Gon? Snoke???? Is this what becoming a force ghost is really like? Going back and forth between different parts of one's life? by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas Explains Vader's Death with Luke "Help Me Take This Mask Off": In star wars return of the Jedi, we had the climactic conclusion of Anakin Skywalker and George Lucas star wars saga as we know it. The completion of the chosen one prophecy ended with Vader dying and Anakin being released into the force. The selfless sacrifice of Luke Skywalker catalyzed Anakin's return to save his son, overthrow the Emperor, and bring 'balance' to the force. The scene always makes me emotional (no surprise), so I find it awesome to read George Lucas' thoughts on that scene as he wrote it. Info comes from Paul Duncan's The Star Wars Archives book OT. by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas Says Vader Beats Yoda in a Fight...: In an original discussion regarding The Return of the Jedi, George Lucas tells Lawrence Kasdan a few things about Yoda and the force, including, how Vader would kill Yoda in a fight. This was pre Return of the Jedi. Now of course Yoda's abilities changed later in the prequels with Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan, Dooku, Ahsoka, Palpatine and more, but it's interesting to know that his original idea for Yoda, was for him to not be the Jedi grand master we know him to be today, and that Vader would have actually killed him in a fight! by Star Wars Theory

What if Luke FOUGHT Snoke in The Last Jedi - Star Wars Theory Fan Fic: What if Luke went to fight Snoke with Rey and Kylo Ren in Star Wars The Last Jedi?

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

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

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 Emperor remains to this day, to have some of the most powerful sith force lightning in existence. 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
