George Lucas Version of Palpatine's Return Revealed...Let's Read it - Star Wars 9

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

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 on Yoda Using Luke's Lightsaber in Original Script: Another awesome excerpt from Paul Duncan's The Star Wars Archives book. In this episode, I want to give my thoughts on this snippet where George Lucas talks about Yoda taking Luke's lightsaber to fight a monster on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back. I think this would have been pretty cool to see, and it would have shown us that Yoda still has it. 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

Top 10 Interesting Facts About Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian: Yoda, the ancient Jedi Grand Master that we all saw with Luke in the originals, then again in the prequels with Anakin, Obi-Wan, Mace and the rest of the Jedi Order on Coruscant. George Lucas has stated that Yoda was a mystical character. Like a Wizard. He comes and goes and you don't really know much about him. You don't know his species or his previous life, you don't really know anything about him at all. Baby Yoda raises all the same questions, maybe more, and I hope we'll see them explained in The Mandalorian Season 2. Maybe Baby Yoda The Child will use dark side force powers like he did on Cara Dune, maybe even...Force lightning like Palpatine used... 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

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

As a Sith and a Jedi. A Jedi who turned evil for a woman. Almost a mirror of Anakin's story if you think about it...slightly.

I hope this episode puts it all together. by Star Wars Theory

Kylo Ren is Using Luke's Green Lightsaber Crystal in Episode 9 - Star Wars Theory: In Star Wars episode 9 we will see Kylo's lightsaber...however let's go over a theory I have regarding the use of Luke's GREEN lightsaber crystal. I believe Kylo took his lightsaber upon the destruction of the Jedi Temple (we saw flashbacks in The Last Jedi) and tried to make it bleed, however, he failed. If he didn't take Luke's, then he made his own crystal bleed, and failed. This is my theory on why his lightsaber flickers and what we could possibly expect...who knows until Episode 9 comes out. What do you think? That'd be cool if he's using Qu-Gon Jinn's lightsaber that Luke Skywalker took from Obi-Wan Kenobi's possession. 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
