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

Obi-Wan FINALLY Confronts Anakin about Padme (PRE ep3): Obi-Wan confronts Anakin Skywalker about Padme before Revenge of the Sith in the book Labyrinth of Evil. It's one of the first times he blatantly addresses their relationship and that it's against the Jedi code. Why he turns a blind eye to it later, I don't know. This helps us understand how Obi-Wan knew so easily that Anakin was the father in Revenge of the Sith once he became Darth Vader during Order 66. 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

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 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. Darth Vader sensed Obi-Wan Kenobi on the Death Star, so why couldn't Anakin here? The answer is from the legends (now) novel - The Rise of Darth Vader by Star Wars Theory

Anakin Rages Out at Obi-Wan for Killing His Mother: In Star Wars Attack of the Clones, Anakin's Mother, Shmi Skywalker, passed away due to the Tusken's capturing her. Anakin reveals in the novel that he felt it was majorly Obi-Wan's fault not only that he was held back, but also that he was responsible for her death in the end. I believe if Qui-Gon Jinn had trained Anakin, then things wouldn't have ended up in the dark side. Vader wouldn't exist, and Anakin would restore peace to the galaxy. by Star Wars Theory

Does Kylo Ren Know Darth Vader Turned Back to the Light in The Force Awakens? Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren is obsessed with Darth Vader...however does he know that Vader did indeed turn back to the light? If so, why is he still pursuing Vader to speak to him as a force ghost? I wonder if they'll have Anakin return as a split ghost, one light, and one dark. What do you think? by Star Wars Theory

Vader "Kills" Luke in Very First Script of Empire Strikes Back: In the Making of The Empire Strikes Back, Vader was supposed to kill Luke Skywalker through the force, telepathically. They were supposed to fight on what becomes Hoth, and in this first draft, Vader isn't Luke's father. He's the guy who killed Anakin Skywalker. R2 saves Luke, again, and blasts off into hyperspace, where Luke was able to breathe again from the force choke. Luke then goes to meet Minch Yoda. 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 SNOKE Went to Darth Vader's Castle and MUSTAFAR - Star Wars Explained (Theory): In Star Wars The Last Jedi we got to see Snoke's massive Obsidian ring (when speaking to Rey and Kylo Ren) taken from the catacombs beneath Darth Vader's Castle on Mustafar (where Anakin Skywalker lost to Obi-Wan Kenobi). The visual dictionary has told us where the ring is from, however if we go back to Rogue One, we can gather even more info from all of this for today's theory. Do you think Luke Skywalker ever went to Darth Vader's Castle? When did Snoke go there? Before or after Vader's life? by Star Wars Theory

The Real REASON Darth Vader Died (and it's not because of Palpatine) - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Return of the Jedi, Anakin Skywalker killed Darth Vader and Palpatine to save Luke Skywalker, his son. In the recent canon Darth Vader comics, we've seen him hit with force lightning, which didn't kill him. In today's episode, I raise a new theory regarding Vader's death. I think he could have survived for today's reasons...what do you think??? by Star Wars Theory

Mace Windu Fights Grievous Before Revenge of the Sith - Star Wars Explained: Before the events of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Grievous and Mace Windu actually meet to fight one another.

I Think Rey Has This Canon Power and it Makes Sense - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Episode 7 The Force Awakens, Rey touched Luke Skywalker's lightsaber and immediately had visions of past events. Events where we heard Vader's breathing, Cloud City from Empire Strikes Back, Kylo Ren, Luke and R2, and even heard Yoda and Obi-Wan speak to her (wish we heard Anakin). How did Rey see these things? Is this a power or some magic? I believe it's a power that's in canon called psychometry. It's something Quinlan Vos has the ability to do as well. What do you think? by Star Wars Theory

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.

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
