George Lucas Explains Anakin Skywalker and Order 66 in 1980's Interview: This is a long explanation from George Lucas, printed in The Making of Star Wars Return of the Jedi, about Anakin Skywalker, Palpatine, Order 66, Padme, Leia, Luke Skywalker, and the end of the prequels, far before they were filmed. This episode will also explain why Leia says she remembers her mother in Return of the Jedi. by Star Wars Theory

Why Was Anakin Crying in Revenge of the Sith? Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, it's no doubt that Anakin was going through a rough time, but after the slaughter of the younglings during Order 66, you'd think he was so callous that he'd have no reason to cry. The answer may surprise you, it even surprised myself. 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

Reacting to Anakin's Power Level Reveal in Revenge of the Sith Bonus DVD: Hey and welcome back to Star Wars Theory, today we're going to cover this special part of The Revenge of the Sith bonus DVD that covers the stunts and BTS with George Lucas, Nick Gillard, Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, Samuel L Jackson, Ian McDiarmid and more. Something I found very fun to discuss here was the snippet regarding Anakin's power level at the end of the film. Back in the 80's, George Lucas (reference The Making of Return of the Jedi/ESB/ANH books) mentioned how Luke was a level 2, Vader a 4, Obi-Wan a 6 and the Emperor an 8 (or something like that) in terms of power. So I feel that now we can a little insight on what Anakin's level would be on that scale that George Lucas made up. At the very least, it's pretty fun to discuss. by Star Wars Theory

How Did the Clones Know Anakin Wasn't a Jedi During Order 66? Star Wars Explained: During Order 66, the Clone Troopers were set out to annihilate all Jedi. The 501st Legion was sent with Anakin (later become Vader's Fist) to raid the Jedi Temple...so why didn't they just shoot Anakin? What piece from the films are we missing? I hope this episode puts it all together. by Star Wars Theory

How George Lucas Wanted Padme to KILL Anakin with a Knife on Mustafar! - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, George Lucas almost approved of a very alternate ending with Padme trying to kill Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar just before Obi-Wan Kenobi showed himself. I think this would have shown great character development and overall arc for Padme. by Star Wars Theory

Could Mace Windu Have Actually Survived? Let's Break it Down: Mace Windu, arguably one of the most powerful Jedi during the time of the Republic, before Order 66 changed the fate of the galaxy. Mace Windu was a master of the jedi arts but most of all, a master of himself and his own darkness within. He was betrayed by Anakin Skywalker during his battle with Palpatine, which led to the fall of the Republic at the hands of Skywalker and the Clones executing Order 66. In Star Wars, many characters have returned from certain death. Could Mace Windu do the same? Were his injuries that bad that would put him out for good? How high was that fall, say he did survive? Could Mace Windu show up in The Mandalorian season 3 and perhaps join Luke Skywalker and Grogu? Let's see if it's possible for him to even have survived... by Star Wars Theory

I Bought Anakin Skywalker's Lightsaber Master Replicas 2005: Today let's unbox a new addition to my collection: Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber from Star Wars The Revenge of the Sith by Master Replicas. This was crafted in 2005 back when George Lucas owned Star Wars and Revenge of the Sith was released in theatres. Revenge of the Sith is my favourite Star Wars movie as it shows the final moment of Anakin Skywalker's journey as he transitions into Darth Vader. His pivotal decision to save Padme at the advice of Palpatine was what ultimately killed her and locked his future into the palms of Darth Sidious. That is...until his son, Luke Skywalker would come to save him. by Star Wars Theory

The REAL Reason Anakin Completed Order 66 - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker executed Order 66 with the 501st on Palpatine's orders...we all know he did it to 'save padme.' However, there was more to his reasoning as to just why he turned to the dark side and killed the Jedi at the Temple. He never cared for the Sith, or for Palpatine, but rather he was afraid the Jedi would only curse him for protecting the Jedi way by disarming Mace infront of an unarmed prisoner, Sidious who must stand trial. What do you think about Anakin not caring for the Sith? by Star Wars Theory

Luke's Point of View: Dooku (CANON) - Star Wars Explained: In today's episode from The Secrets of the Jedi, we will learn in canon just what Luke Skywalker had to say about Count Dooku, himself.

Anakin's Deleted Scene during Palpatine vs Mace Duel Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, there was the original concept of Anakin Skywalker being present during Palpatine's fight with the Jedi and Mace Windu, where he offers his blue lightsaber to Sidious. It was later deleted and changed to Anakin showing up when he did, to eventually turn into Darth Vader before Order 66...however before this, the concept was there and filmed to have him walk over Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar and Saesee Tin, the Jedi Masters that Palpatine defeated so effortlessly. In the novel, it's also different, where Anakin shows up to walk over the bodies and view the speed of Mace and Palpatine as they dance in colors of red and purple, however he is NOT present during the initial arrest and does not throw his lightsaber to Palpatine to use. by Star Wars Theory

I Will Change Your View of Anakin's Turn to the Dark Side in 3 Minutes: Anakin Skywalker's turn to the dark side was 'fast' in the eyes of many Star Wars fans. However, in 3 minutes I will explain to you how it is not fast at all, and why his turn makes so much sense. In fact, I would argue his turn was justified (not his actions, those were messed up, but his turn). by Star Wars Theory

Snoke MASSIVE Connection to PALPATINE and PLAGUEIS (SPOILERS) - Star Wars The Last Jedi Explained: In Star Wars The Last Jedi we get to finally see Snoke's black obsidian ring on his finger. This ring, thanks to the CANON Visual Dictionary - shows us where this ring is from and the etchings on it that belong to a very old group of sages...Now these sages were found as statues in Palpatine's office in Revenge of the Sith as he walks with Anakin and fights Mace Windu before Order 66. What connection could Snoke have to these sages? Could he be one of them? The obsidian was found in Darth Vader's Castle on Mustafar...could this bring scenes in Han Solo that could explain things further about Snoke's ring? Or do you think this was something gathered far before Anakin and Darth Vader ever set foot on Mustafar? by Star Wars Theory

What Anakin Did IMMEDIATELY After "The Opera Scene" In Revenge of the Sith? - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Anakin Skywalker got to learn of the old Sith legend of immortality from Palpatine, speaking about his master, Darth Plagueis. After this scene in the movie, Anakin raced to the temple to find just what he could on Darth Plagueis and the old legend. This was a key moment that Anakin actually started to think inwards, just as he told Palpatine Jedi DON'T do... Interesting to see his thought process here from the novelization. by Star Wars Theory
