The Dark Story of Mace Never Teaching Vaapad to Anyone Again: Mace Windu's 7th lightsaber fighting style variant, Vaapad, was the main reason he was able to defeat Palpatine in Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. This fighting style was extremely effective, yet difficult to remain in the light side of the force. Mace taught it to only ONE other person, and this is the outcome. I imagine this is why he never taught it to Anakin Skywalker. by Star Wars Theory

The First Person VADER Told He Isn't ANAKIN Revealed - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, nnce his inevitable turn to the dark side had begun at the hands of Emperor Palpatine, Anakin Skywalker was dubbed Vader and the Anakin we knew was no more. However, when was the first time that Vader acknowledged this himself to the audience? It’s not in the films, but in the book. It’s a cool scene that takes place on Mustafar where he’s sent to wipe out the separatists before fighting Obi-Wan Kenobi. by Star Wars Theory

What Anakin Said to SHAAK-TI Just Before Fighting Mace Windu We Never Knew - Star Wars Explained: In Revenge of the Sith, we all got the scene where Anakin Skywalker was torn apart before going to save Palpatine and sacrifice Mace Windu (kill him). There's a scene in the novel that shows interactions between Anakin and Shaak Ti...the level of Anakin's self actualization of himself and his prophecy is interesting for sure. What do you think?? by Star Wars Theory

How Did Palpatine Create Darth Vader’s Suit So Quickly in Revenge of the Sith? Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, after Anakin lost to Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, how did Palpatine made his suit and put his cybernetics together so quickly?

The Actual REASON Palpatine’s Face Changed (NOT Sith Alchemy) - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine's duel with Mace Windu left his face pretty...different...while many think it's from sith alchemy (which may be true in deep dark legends), it's actually been explained in the Revenge of the Sith novelization. by Star Wars Theory

Why Palpatine Didn't See Darth Vader's Betrayal - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Return of the Jedi...Palpatine was ruling the Galaxy through the Galactic Empire. We all know this. He was all powerful. We know this, too. Why couldn't he see Vader's betrayal? Why didn't he know Anakin Skywalker would eventually bring balance to the force (from the Jedi's POV)? Sidious was extremely powerful, but there's a reason he couldn't see Anakin Skywalker's turn...If he did...I don't believe he would have spent all those years recruiting him in The Revenge of the Sith. He never saw Darth Maul's death, nor did he see the Death Star's destruction at Luke Skywalker's hand. by Star Wars Theory

The First Time Mace Windu Felt Fear - Star Wars Explained: Mace Windu was a revered Jedi Master. Highly respected on the council in throughout the galaxy, he never showed fear towards the Sith or any of his enemies. The first time Mace showed some sort of concern or fear, was during this scene in Shatterpoint, which isn't canon anymore, as it's not legends material. I find it also interesting how he senses something like the battle on Geonosis would happen again. I suspect he must have felt Order 66, but didn't know exactly what to expect as to how catastrophic it was. Anakin Skywalker turned his back on the Jedi during Order 66, and I believe the second time Mace actually showed fear, was when Anakin took his hand and Palpatine blasted him with lightning. by Star Wars Theory

How Palpatine Used a LIGHTSIDE Power on ANAKIN in Revenge of the Sith - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, there may be something we all might have simply overlooked...Once Anakin Skywalker fights Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, he is left burning to 'death' and being reborn in the true form of Darth Vader as Palpatine comes along so conveniently to apply force heal to his head...Keeping him alive just for a little bit longer, a type of selfish manipulation of the force by using the light side for a dark purpose. Could Darth Sidious have healed Anakin/Darth Vader fully? How does this theory play into the rest of Star Wars? If Mace Windu could use both the light and dark sides, why couldn't Palpatine? I believe he could and DID! by Star Wars Theory

Why Anakin Couldn’t Sense Obi-Wan on Padme’s Ship - Star Wars Explained: In Revenge of the Sith it made no sense as to why Anakin couldn't sense Obi-Wan on Padme's ship on Mustafar before their big fight.

How Anakin Almost KILLED Mace Windu When Denied the Rank of MASTER - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, we all know the scene where Mace Windu tells Anakin Skywalker that isn't granted the rank of Master...this leaves Anakin furious, however in the novel...there's much more to be said about Anakin's anger in front of Yoda, Obi-Wan and all the other Jedi Masters. by Star Wars Theory

If Mace Windu Chose the Dark Side Would Palpatine Take Him over Anakin?: What if Mace Windu chose the dark side? Would Palpatine choose him over Anakin?

In Revenge of the Sith, if Palpatine made this decision, things would drastically change. This episode will cover more of the "could this potentially have happened - why or why not", instead of a typical fan-fiction that goes down the rabbit hole. by Star Wars Theory

What Anakin Told Sidious Right Before Obi-Wan Fought Him (NOT IN MOVIE): In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, there was a moment after Anakin defeated the Separatists during Order 66 on Mustafar, where he speaks to Sidious. In the movie we NEVER saw this scene but in the novel Palpatine warns him of imminent danger! He knows Obi-Wan is coming (or someone) and warns Anakin. I think this warning did more trouble than good. I think once Anakin saw it was Obi-Wan behind Padme, he was even more furious that Palpatine would even insinuate he is a danger to him. It hits his nerves even more that everyone constantly doubts him, in my opinion. What do you think about this scene in the novel? by Star Wars Theory

Why Was Anakin Crying in Revenge of the Sith?

The answer may surprise you, it even surprised myself. by Star Wars Theory

Is Darth Vader More Powerful Than Anakin Skywalker? (In-Depth Analysis) - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars, Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one, or so the prophecy lead the Jedi to believe…and we know that Darth Vader was half man half machine after his duel on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith to Obi-Wan Kenobi…severing his connection to the force severely with his lost limbs and burned body. Once Palpatine revived him and put him into the machined body that we know Darth Vader came to be in...just who was more powerful? Now it's hard to say, as Anakin Skywalker never got to see his full potential, however we can examine Vader's peak performance next to Anakin's just before Obi-Wan Kenobi destroyed him. We'll examine lightsaber fighting styles (Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan and Count Dooku), force powers, and everything in between in this episode of Star Wars Theory. by Star Wars Theory
