Why Didn't Obi-Wan Tell Luke the TRUTH About Darth Vader? (Deleted Scene) - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars A New Hope, Obi-Wan lies to Luke Skywalker about Darth Vader being Anakin Skywalker, his father. There is a deleted scene from The Return of the Jedi that I've found for our research purposes in this episode. The scene is of Yoda, and he explains everything that we never got to see... by Star Wars Theory

Why Obi-Wan Kenobi is a BETTER Master Than LUKE in The Last Jedi - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars The Last Jedi we see a VERY different Luke Skywalker than what we're used to in Return of the Jedi and the comics. In this episode, I want to know your thoughts on Obi-Wan Kenobi's mental power as a Master vs Luke Skywalker after what Kylo Ren did to his Jedi Temple. How does the new Temple connect to the Prime Jedi and Snoke? Why wasn't Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Last Jedi? by Star Wars Theory

How Luke Used Tutaminus Against Palpatine in Return of the Jedi - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Return of the Jedi, there is a special power Luke used against Emperor Palpatine that we didn't get to learn about from the films...rather the Novel gives us further insight on this power that Luke taught himself. by Star Wars Theory

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

The Force Power that Could Have SAVED Darth Vader at DEATH - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars, there is a force power that is used by most light side users, notably, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Luke Skywalker, where they can control their breathing for days at a time (if powerful enough). I think if Vader used this power (which seems to be used by lightsiders) then I think we could have had a different outcome in Star Wars. Maybe he could have lived longer? Maybe he'd have reached a high potential? by Star Wars Theory

Leia CONFIRMED More Powerful Than Luke if she Trained [CANON] - Star Wars Explained: In the Rise of Skywalker novelization, Leia trains Rey, and as she does, she remembers her training with Luke. We get much more from her memories compared to what we saw in the film. According to the book, she was way more powerful than Luke when he was training with Yoda, at their respective levels. by Star Wars Theory

Rise of Skywalker Novel Just Changed Vader From Return of the Jedi: In Star Wars Episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker, we get a scene in the novel that has Palpatine explaining just what he tried to do to Luke in Return of the Jedi. It's a pivotal scene that could have really changed the future of the Galaxy as a whole. Vader stepped in and saved his son before the final scene with the lightning, which to me is pretty interesting. Anakin had returned in that moment far before we originally thought. I like it. by Star Wars Theory

Why Obi-Wan Kenobi Didn't Train Luke Skywalker Earlier (Canon) - Star Wars Explained: Why did Obi-Wan Kenobi train Luke Skywalker earlier? I believe if he had gone with his gut instinct and ignored the nay sayers, we would have a completely different timeline. A much stronger Luke would have grown and his accomplishments would have been far superior to what we saw in Return of the Jedi. Obi-Wan would probably have gone to see Yoda in the flesh, and the events would take a different turn, for sure. What do you think? Should he have listened to Owen? Or ignored him and done what he felt was right to train the boy? by Star Wars Theory

Why Anakin's Force Ghost is Young - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Return of the Jedi we see Anakin Skywalker's force ghost return, but this time as his younger self. Why was this? Could it be that Darth Vader never was Anakin Skywalker (as discussed in many other episode)? Could it be that the Return of the Jedi was really Anakin Skywalker and not Luke Skywalker? by Star Wars Theory

Why Does Luke Skywalker Say the JEDI MUST END? - Star Wars The Last Jedi THEORY: The Star Wars The Last Jedi Trailer has given us something we didn't really understand...the Jedi have been cemented into our beliefs as the end all be all philosophy in Star Wars...so why would Luke Skywalker tell us that they must end? In this video we'll breakdown exactly why he says this (to the best of my knowledge and sources) and what it means for Star Wars The Last Jedi, Rey, Kylo Ren, and of course Luke Skywalker himself. How will this impact Snoke? What about Anakin Skywalker and his possible interactions with his son through the force? Yoda has told Luke that he will be afraid...could this be what Luke is afraid of? His own dark side, or the dark side in general, and how addictive it is? Could Rey be a "Grey" Jedi? Or something entirely different...?? by Star Wars Theory

Snoke Mentioned The Rise of "Skywalker" and He Didn't Mean Luke - Star Wars Theory: In Star Wars The Force Awakens, Snoke reveals the title of the Last Jedi, as well as revealing that is Skywalker returns, the NEW Jedi will rise. This most likely indicates that Luke Skywalker is not the Jedi in Rise of Skywalker who will be the one to rise. I believe he insists on it being Kylo Ren (maybe Rey but doubtful). 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

Why Didn't Darth Vader Clone Himself? - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars, the Cloning process was mass produced for years, so were cloned limbs...so with all of Vader's pain and suffering to his body, why didn't he or Palpatine start a cloning process for himself to return as Anakin Skywalker or just simply repair his limbs, lungs, and organs to reach his full potential as a Sith Lord or Jedi? by Star Wars Theory

The FIRST Time Palpatine Met Anakin Skywalker - Star Wars Explained: Today’s episode will cover something I found to be interesting in the comic series Obi wan and Anakin, issue number 1. During Anakin’s teenage years after episode 1, he was practicing at the Jedi Temple with a hologram training droid that he altered to look, move, and attack just like Darth Maul. As he practiced his moves and showcased his abilities, students and jedi alike watched in interest from the sides. However, from the balcony above, Obi Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu and Chancellor Palpatine (Darth Sidiolus) observed the young Anakin in admiration, speaking of him as palpatine asked many questions. As Obi Wan answered Master Windu’s confusion as to why the boy was fighting what looked like Darth Maul, exclaiming he always porposed detailed questions for him about their duel on Naboo, Palpatine interrupted as he said come now, my jedi friends, a boy of his age altering a training droid in this way, simply to impress h by Star Wars Theory

The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 4 FULL Breakdown: The theories are true! Baby Yoda, The Child is being used for his force sensitivity, to transfer that to another body. While all tests haven't succeeded, Moff Gideon and Dr. Pershing are committed to making it happen. This is interesting as I think they could even search Luke Skywalker for his force sensitivity and high midichlorian count. I was happy to hear about the M-Count which we haven't heard of since Qui-Gon Jinn mentioned them in The Phantom Menace when he tested Anakin and sent the sample to Obi-Wan Kenobi. by Star Wars Theory

Was Anakin Skywalker More Powerful Than Obi Wan in Revenge of the Sith? Star Wars Explained: Enjoy as we dive deep into the very reasons whether or not Anakin / Darth Vader was stronger than Obi Wan Kenobi, physically, techniqe-wise, and via the force. Do you think Anakin Skywalker was stronger? Stronger than Master Yoda even? It is said that he was supposed to be more powerful than Emperor Palpatine, however, after his limbs were cut off on Mustafar, he lost some of his full potential at Darth Sidious' side. by Star Wars Theory

Rise of Skywalker Novel Explains Why Rey Can Force Heal - CANON: In Star Wars Episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker, we get a new force power not seen in the films (except Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian). We see force healing, and many wondered how Rey could do this but Anakin or Obi-Wan couldn't...or even Yoda, of course. Here is how Rey learned it and how she does it, as well as my theory on why others can't dew it. Have a nice day! 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
