[@deathpiggy101]

@@eugenetswong I think Palpatine may have been talking to Ben using Vaders voice to perhaps make him think that Luke killed him rather then Vader turning to save him. The Luke incident could have also lead Ben to believe Luke was lying about turning Vader.

[@vullord666]

Really? It immediately came to my mind. Before Vader Anakin was known as not only one of the most powerful Jedi, but one of the most kind and connected to the people. He was a legendary hero during the Clone Wars earning the respect, admiration, and friendship of those around him. After his turn to the Dark Side, hardly anyone connected that Vader and Anakin were the same people. Especially with most the order dead and no one seeing his face (which was burnt). Even then, everyone in question referred to Vader as a different person. Its repeatedly said, by Vader himself, that Darth Vader killed Anakin Skywalker who was too weak and naive. Repeatedly suggesting that Vader was another persona entirely in Anakin that manifested due to the severe trauma and stress of his actions in episode 3. And when Anakin’s old friends mentioned him and Vader, they wouldn’t dare tarnish Anakin’s legacy or character and would continue to refer to Vader as someone separate and hide or gloss over Anakin’s turn to the darkside. And then there’s the redemption in the original trilogy (which is also where Anakin first started to resurface upon learning his and Padme’s children were alive). Like even ignoring the redemption though, I don’t even understand how Kylo Ren got this propaganda story. Like if Luke DIDN’T talk about his father as both a role model and a warning to all his students, then the only way Kylo learned was the first order and Snoke sneaking him the information (someone) which could then immediately be refuted by literally anyone else. And I don’t suspect the rebellion made it public that Luke’s dad was Vader and went from good to evil to good (or actually it would make sense if they did considering Vader saved the day at the expense of his own life (there’s not much controversial when the contriversial subject is dead anyway)).

Based on his approach in the Original Trilogy, he would have still reached out and believed that there was good in Ben. I mean, A. He’s Family, B. Luke had a better understanding of what led to the fall of the Jedi, he could have simply sat Ben down, and had a Jedi PTA with Han and Leia, Chewy can attend. They can decide and have Ben aware of the risks, rather than just taking actions out of fear and creating hate, thus leading to the dark side…. Its either that or Grogu became a huge menace after leaving, that he decided it would be best not to give them a choice. But I highly doubt it.

[@tallerwarrior1256]

I’ll answer both of your questions, JJ Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy wanted to stray as far away from the prequels and anything that George Lucas was extremely involved in post OT. It’s the reason why Detours, Clone Wars, and LucasArts were completely wiped off the map. After they did that they decided the next course of action was to try to follow marvels footsteps by creating a new trilogy that was more in line the original films (that failed), make Spin Off films which built up already existing characters and plot lines (sort of failed), and create new media to support those films such as new television series, video games, and literature (sort of worked but is extremely convoluted). In short, Force Awakens retold the same story as New Hope, except they added the twist of making the new bad guy just a brooding emo instead of a tortured soul imprisoned in his own skin and they made the inexperienced farm boy into a “can’t do anything wrong” Mary Sue scavenger girl, who literally has nothing to do with the actual plot and the other characters.

In the TFA novelisation during the giant hologram scene, Snoke talks to Kylo about Vader turning back to the light. Kylo knows perfectly well what happened, Snoke views it as *“A momentary lapse of judgment in an otherwise exemplary life.”* they both know that Vader turned back but Snoke has got it into Kylo’s head that it was a moment of weakness and the biggest mistake Vader ever made, that’s why Kylo kills Han later on in the movie because of that conversation he has with Snoke. It’s the same scene where Kylo tells Snoke *“I will not be seduced”* and Snoke replies with *”We shall see…we shall see.”* but just extended, the movie only shows the end of that conversation and cuts out all the talk about Vader, they really should’ve just kept it all in the movie.

[@mpnuorva]

Was that in the movie script though, or is it the novellization author trying to rationalize the situation they were handed?

[@Ivbo]

@@mpnuorva It was originally in the script but all of it got cut out to save time, the dialogue is as old as the movie itself. Look up *“Snoke instructs Kylo Ren (Extended)”* on KZbin, the entire conversation they have is in that video, it’s great. I really wish they kept it all in the movie but I guess a prolonged scene of Kylo and Snoke talking wasn’t something they thought Star Wars fans would want to see at the time, but I personally would’ve loved it. Snoke says parts of it in the original teaser trailer for TFA, which means they filmed the whole conversation with Andy Serkis (Snoke). In the trailer when Snoke says *“The dark side…and the light.”* that’s straight from their conversation about Vader, but it’s nowhere to be found in the movie itself, it was 100% in the script.

I thought at the end when he was like there’s this girl that he was asking for dating advice and I thought Anakin was going to say tell her you don’t like sand that would be funny

[@ladyalicent705]

Anakin: But I turned to the light side, there’s just this disconnect here idk where that- Kylo: He tried to kill me in my sleep! Anakin: Who? Kylo: Luke! As soon as he sensed the evil in me he tried to kill me immediately! Anakin: That doesn’t sound like my son at all! You’re dealing with an imposter!

[@timurgianti8385]

So refreshing to see a low energy honest dialogue that makes sense!

[@NonisLuck]

Some GREAT points were made!

[@josephpark1707]

this channel is so godly fun and these star wars videos are hilarious

[@BumSmacker]

"after I turned to the light again.. I... reverted back to 22, im not sure how that works, the force is weird.." had been SOBBING

[@lonehunter3618]

I love how casual the tone of these skits are while dissing the disney trilogy

[@Redeyeclipse]

Yep this is better writing then the actual movie wow the plotholes has spoken

[@TheTyke]

"You see each other through the Force? That's new to me, but go on." That's great. Akin to the older generation learning about internet dating lol.

[@adrianaslund8605]

I like how confused and awkward Anakin is like he's not at all intimidating or composed. He's just confused.

[@DefecTec]

In the end it was actually love that saved Anakin from the Dark Side and redeemed him, his love for his son and Padme. And Luke naming his son Ben in the old canon makes much more sense being honest

[@quentinsanders5096]

Always thought Adam driver was the perfect mix of harrison ford and Hayden christiansen in the face at least

[@MatthewMcCleskey]

I can agree with that

[@DawlessHouseMusic]

Watching these is like therapy.

[@yospidey0078]

Anakin’s voice is more accurate to the films than TCW was. Lol.

[@danielbold6167]

Same with Obi wan.

[@jasonutty52]

Clone wars voice is far superior though so I feel like it can stay the way it is.

[@herbosmoker848]

Absolutely

[@davedarius7346]

@@jasonutty52 Superior? Idk bruh, Movie cannon>TCW Cannon...But okay!

[@diosoth]

Supposedly they had plans to have Anakin do just this, but the scene would have played out with Kylo believing the Force was lying to him & that this wasn't really Vader he was speaking to. I think it got cut because Hayden wasn't available.

[@RileyWritey]

This was my immediate thought back when TFA came out. Kylo's entire arc makes literally no sense.

[@jesse_cole]

"When I died, I reverted back to 22... weird... Obi Wan remained Alec Guinness for some reason, though... and Yoda still looks at least 800... trying to wrap my head around this..."

[@crstnio]

I still remember the first moment Kylo took off his mask. The whole crowd was laughing. He should’ve done the Mandalorian.

[@tmbpotatoe5975]

i love how anakin is surprised by all this but still has the face of eh

[@MyCvll]

Luke seeing his father turn to the light side was the biggest moment in his life. He definitely told Kylo about it.

[@comradecid]

finally underscoring how kylo was basically the wb teen drama version of darth vader

[@Solo13508]

Anakin reverted in age because that's what he looked like when he was last a Jedi

[@andrewbecker1013]

Literally, the movie's name is "Return of the Jedi" because Anakin returns to being a Jedi, and for decades we only had the real, original version of the movie where force-ghost Anakin is the old dude who'd just died...as a redeemed Jedi. So no.

[@jameslauriente1049]

What a great video for my Saturday morning👌 thanks again Mr. Matthew

[@KlamparDafenrad]

This unironically shows up the biggest flaw in the sequels. After setting up how obsessed Ben was with Vader, WHY DID HE NEVER GET TO TALK TO ANAKIN? Makes too much sense I suppose.

[@robertmcnamara4121]

These are just so brilliantly done!

[@FavoriteSniper]

Out of all the flaws, this was something that was massively overlooked xD

[@artizzy2k2k]

This is what I always wondered. Why did Anakin not go " hey this is not what I want anymore stop"

[@flyte707]

Lmao "that was all palpatine's idea"

[@jozefmasny8349]

Ben: What should I do? Anakin: Tell her how much you don't like sand, it worked for me.

[@bottombarrelbudgetfilms1854]

This was really funny and genuinely well written

[@BOABModels]

More! More! MORE! More content like this please, Matthew.

[@AscendantStoic]

This is 100% more canon than the Disney fanfiction sequel movies XD

[@Black_pearl_adrift]

kylo's juvenile, kind of impotent rage was always what made his character interesting. Like this guy faced one trauma and said fuck it, evil time.

[@jonlpage]

That face at 1:04 :D

[@johannesseyfried7933]

To be fair to Kylo: Wearing the Mask for intimidation is actually perfectly valid. 😄

[@ChooseyClone]

Your subtle impressions are spot on and hilarious

[@nerodeathstep5239]

lmao, i`m pretty sure people forgot that Anakin nearly burn alive and need that armor to keep him alive

[@rjmacready505]

I am so annoyed by how good the writing in this KZbin video is compared to the actual movies. Awesome job!
