Major Deleted Scene Yoda and Luke Lightsaber Training We Never Saw

Luke Uses Sith Lightning on Vader in Empire Strikes Back Original Script: in the early scripts for The Empire Strikes back, as noted in 'the making of The Empire Strikes Back" book, we get Luke Skywalker fighting Darth Vader as he's using force lightning. The idea was eventually scrapped of course, but it's interesting to learn of George Lucas' thought process behind giving Luke this power against his father. The Emperor remains to this day, to have some of the most powerful sith force lightning in existence. 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. It's this moment that he is passed on to the other side of the force to become a force ghost, which we see later on. 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

Why Darth Vader Was WEAK Against Luke in Return of the Jedi - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Return of the Jedi we get the final fight between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. We've seen Vader in Rogue One, we know his wrath and power, so why was he so weak against Luke in both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi? Could Luke defeating Vader be what he means in Star Wars The Last Jedi? Will this be how he defeats Snoke? Will he even fight Snoke? I hope we see Kylo burn the temple, it would be cool to see Luke get angry from that (if he does). by Star Wars Theory
