Rise of Skywalker Novel Explains Why Rey Can Force Heal - CANON

How Palpatine Survived The Fall from Vader FINALLY REVEALED in CANON: Palpatine was thrown down the shaft in Return of the Jedi by Darth Vader, and survived as we saw in Star Wars Episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker. How did he do this? Did he go splat and then force heal? Did he do something else? We now know from the Rise of Skywalker novelization. I think this all ties in with Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian. I believe it's a way for the Empire to splice genes of The Child and see if they can make a vessel worthy for the Emperor to live forever after transferring his essence. by Star Wars Theory

Does Palpatine's Return Ruin Anakin's Story and Sacrifice? - Star Wars Episode 9 Theory: Star Wars Episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker has created more talk than anything. One of the recurring comments I see a lot of, is whether or not Palpatine's return undermines Anakin Skywalker's story in Return of the Jedi when he saved Luke Skywalker from Sidious. Now that The Emperor is back, was it all a waste? Here's what I have to say about it and how it could work. by Star Wars Theory

How Kylo Got Vader's Helmet - Star Wars Theory: In Star Wars the Force Awakens, how exactly did Kylo Ren get hold of Vader's helmet from Return of the Jedi, when Luke Skywalker burnt it after defeating Palpatine?

Secrets of Luke's Force Tree - Star Wars The Last Jedi Theory Explained: Hey everyone! Today's episode will cover info about Luke's Force Tree in Star Wars The Last Jedi. There may be some spoilers in here, so for those trying to avoid any, beware. What will Luke Skywalker's force tree bring for us in The Last Jedi? Is it something like Yoda's force tree in Empire Strikes Back? Where Luke went inside and fought Darth Vader, turning into himself? Or could this offer more...Is this where Rey enters to find herself? To learn more about the powers of the force? Is this where Kylo Ren went inside? How did Snoke reach out to him? Does he find Darth Vader's suit? Darth Vader's Lightsaber? So many theories... 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

Why Kylo Will Die in Episode 9 - Star Wars Theory: In Star Wars Episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker, we'll get the final 9th chapter in the Skywalker saga. From the prequels with Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan and Yoda, to Luke, Vader, and Sidious and the sequels. We've seen the heroes of each trilogy and I believe the biggest one of all has yet to reveal himself. I believe that Kylo Ren will redeem himself in Episode 9 by performing the ultimate deed to save Rey and the Galaxy from Palpatine's clutches. by Star Wars Theory

My Issue with REY'S Character vs ANAKIN and LUKE - Star Wars The Last Jedi Explained: In Star Wars the Last Jedi we get to see Luke Skywalker, Rey, Kylo and Snoke all return. However, something about Rey's character just doesn't really sit right with me. This episode lists my thoughts about what is happening and I'd like to know your opinion on it. Luke and Anakin's arch respectively had their trials and errors...where was Rey's trial and error? Where is the character dynamic? The progression? The loss and gain? by Star Wars Theory

Why Luke Skywalker Couldn't Sense the Force in Yoda - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back did it ever make you wonder just why Luke Skywalker couldn't sense Yoda's force powers of almost 900 years during their first meeting? There's more to it than Yoda just concealing his powers...and the answer lies in Dagobah's mystery force nexus... by Star Wars Theory

Palpatine is Alive He Won in Episode 9 - Star Wars Theory: In Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker, we got Palpatine rising to power then being defeated by Rey. In the movie, he tells Kylo Ren that he was every voice inside his head (Snoke, Vader, Sidious), so is it possible that the force ghosts Rey heard, were from Palpatine as well? This would cause her to believe she needed to fight back and kill him, and thus, fulfilling his prophecy. by Star Wars Theory

Why Obi-Wan COULDN'T Force Heal Qui-Gon but Rey can Heal Kylo - Star Wars Theory: When Rey healed the snake and then Kylo Ren, it brought some questions regarding the rest of the Jedi in Star Wars prequels and originals. Why didn't Anakin heal his mother? Why didn't Obi-Wan heal Qui-Gon Jinn? Why didn't Luke heal Vader? Did they not possess this power? Why not? Or if they did, why couldn't they use it? by Star Wars Theory

ALL MY UNASWERED QUESTIONS FROM RISE OF SKYWALKER: Star Wars Episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker has given us more questions than answers, and I hope The Mandalorian Season 2 will bring most of these to light as we learn about the Jedi and Empire (maybe Luke Skywalker).

Force Dyad Let's Finally Talk About This: It's a one in a googleplex.

Top 10 Interesting Facts About Yarael Poof Jedi Master: Who was Jedi Master Yarael Poof? Well, here are 10 interesting facts about this epic looking Master. In Star Wars The Phantom Menace you might remember seeing him in the background, but do you know anything about him? He was quite powerful, and extremely attuned to the force. I would love to see him in maybe a prequel to the prequels or something. To see all those Jedi Masters again, and not just sitting in their seats, would be epic. The Star Wars galaxy is made up of so many different species that each have different powers and abilities, much like Yoda's, who we're learning about in The Mandalorian, especially now that Luke Skywalker has taken Grogu. by Star Wars Theory

Rey's Thoughts As She Shoots Force Lightning [CANON]: In Star Wars Episode 9 The Rise of Skywalker, we see Rey use the same move as her Grandfather, Palpatine. Force lightning is in her nature, and she drew upon the powers within her to show it. The Rise of Skywalker novelization by Rae Carson goes over her thoughts as she was about to use the force ability, and what emotions she drew from within herself. It makes me wonder if Kylo could have used this power, too? Why, why not? 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 the Return of the Jedi was really Anakin Skywalker and not Luke Skywalker? 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

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

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

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
