10-year-old Han with Yoda? I’m so glad they left that out

[@static3316]

i loved hearing the voice acting parts and it was hilarious hearing Han talk like a grown man like he’s not 10 😂

[@LaraA55]

I know, right👍

[@justingary5322]

Exactly 💯

[@setokaiba3458]

I much more prefer the force being responsible for the birth of Anakin as more of a “retaliation” against Palps and Plageius

[@williamkraut5849]

My only problem with that is there are like 10,000 Jedi Knights at the time of the Prequels. Why would the force need to balance itself with Anakin? If anything, it would need to balance itself toward the dark side since there were only two sith.

[@etonasama]

@@williamkraut5849 Rule of two. The Sith are way more powerful than any Jedi in the Jedi order.

[@UltimateDurzan]

@@williamkraut5849 balance has nothing to do with the numbers of Jedi vs Sith or power of either side. The dark side is an illness in the force, throwing it out of balance... just like how our bodies are out of balance when we are sick.

[@BlackKing.2000]

@@etonasamaexactly and Sidious and Plagues clouded the Jedi with the dark side. And were attempting to manipulate the force and create life so the force retaliated. If I remember correctly anyway

[@originaldarkwater]

@@williamkraut5849 This is exactly the kind of incorrect thinking that leads to people believing in Grey Jedi. The Jedi, when they are listening to the will of the Force, are already in balance, they don't need dark side users to "balance" them. There is no such thing as "too much balance". What the Jedi needed was someone to lead them back to listening to the Force instead of being an arm of the Republic. Since it was Sidious' machinations that were getting the Jedi further and further embroiled in galactic politics, you could even argue that the presence of any Sith was what was throwing the Jedi out of balance in the first place.

[@lethalnate9461]

So happy they didn't go with including Han Solo. It wasn't needed and then also being with Yoda, it would go against what he said in the originals.

[@kardona_3]

About the Jedi stuff. He said something like “The Jedi are an old legend” right?

[@originaldarkwater]

Totally agree! If you ask me, bringing in the origin of Boba Fett was already going way too far, having Han there would have just been jumping the shark with regard providing needless backstory for beloved characters and making the galaxy feel tiny in the process.

[@kardona_3]

@@originaldarkwater I also think Han was a big too much but he’s a fully fleshed out character. Boba fett barely even had any lines.

[@originaldarkwater]

@@kardona_3 Yeah, Boba Fett was still better when he was more mysterious. That allows everyone to have their own super-cool head canon about where he comes from and how he got to be who he is. You take away a lot of fan engagement once you condense that down to a single possibility become fact, and I don't think what we got was on anyone's bingo card. There are a lot of details fans THINK they want to know, but are really better off using their own imaginations for.

[@jedsithor]

@@originaldarkwater The Boba Fett idea was an old one though. I think at some point he was conceived as being the son of a clone and that idea ultimately shifted so that he became a son who is a clone.

[@Sambrostar]

This is quite honestly really cool, I feel like there is a lot of questions answered, like Anakin's conception and his turn to the dark side made more prevalent. Like him literally saying "I feel that I should be something more than a jedi" gave me literal chills.

[@LaraA55]

I agree

[@dereklopez9060]

Revenge Of The Sith movie, novel, and video game has so many different scenarios.

[@justingary5322]

Exactly 💯

[@star-warsien]

I actually like that they cut the Sidious lines for essentially creating Anakin. It destroys the whole choosen one arc.

[@dougiemonday]

Good thought. I like that they cut it. But I don’t agree that it destroys the chosen one thing.

[@star-warsien]

@dougiemonday why doesn't it? Sidious created him essentially, it wasn't the will of the force. It's a cool idea by the fact that it really highlights how powerful and manipulative Sidious is but it destroys the weight it carries for Anakin to be the choosen one.

[@bring-out]

@@star-warsien One could go far fetched in the way the force might have worked through Palpatine and "deceived" him which is an intriguing idea.

[@jedsithor]

While I'm glad it was removed, I don't think it destroys the Chosen One arc. In fact, it actually, in the long run, establishes Palpatine's fatal flaw and the flaw of the Sith in general in that he and they are responsible for their own destruction. Palpatine tries to trick the Jedi by creating a false Chosen One, not realising that he created the real Chosen One from the Jedi prophecy who ends up destroying him. Similarly, Palpatine conceives an elaborate plan to destroy the Rebel Alliance only for it to completely backfire and result in the collapse of the Empire. Palpatine's plans tend to be hugely successful in the short term and end up coming back to bite him in the long term.

[@star-warsien]

@jedsithor I didn't really think of that. That's a good point. I guess when I say that, I just mean that it doesn't feel like it truly adheres to the prophecy. It feels like Anakin/Vader is a lie that was artificially created rather than happened more organically, if that makes sense.

[@jedicouncil66]

Theory went for a walk and just casually FOUND the original script laying on the floor

[@PewterScott]

I think the swordmaster stunt guy gave it to him

[@jedicouncil66]

That is a far better story and title to the video

[@daanvanderleest7171]

"Why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic life form'' - Obi-Wan Kenobi

[@GeisterMan]

If Palpatine would be Anakin’s father, then Rey would be Ben’s aunt 😂

[@jacksonyon5276]

Yoda speaking with Qui-Gon is so telling especially when he first hears him in the season 6 final arc.

[@TheMikethoth]

Anakin is such an underrated character. Hayden did a great job.

[@jedsithor]

Anakin's turn is definitely too sudden in the rough draft (and the first cut of the movie before the reshoots). The thing is, it's not just about drawing out the turn to make it more believable, it's also about establishing that there is good in him. Once he actually chooses the Dark Side, it consumes him but for his redemption to work in Return Of The Jedi, you have to be able to believe that there's a part of him that regrets his choices, even if that part is buried so deep in shadow that it takes his son to bring it to the light.

[@idiot_city5244]

It's too sudden in the actual movie lol

[@TheAngryBadger3]

I like these more laid-back and personal style of videos.

[@YuProducciones]

agree, I'm a fan too

[@paulloughlin3732]

Story time with Theory, a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! I love 10 year old Han just sounding like Harrison Ford! 😂 I remember picking this book up before Revenge of the Sith came out and devoured it after seeing the movie. I'm glad George dropped the Sidious manipulating the midichlorians to create Anakin.

[@tiffanyannejocelyn6908]

I'd love to see some of this in an extended edition. Makes a lot of stuff make sense.

[@hunterkiller1440]

I heard Anakin's turn was supposed to be a surprise and Vader has been secretly hunting and killing Jedi. The movie was supposed to be like a mystery thriller The Usual Suspect style.

[@harrambou9468]

Oooooh 👀 now THAT would have been cool Edit: You could say they technically did a VERSION of that

[@Ar1AnX1x]

Kit Fisto sounds like a Jedi that can rap

[@jacobkomnath7961]

i do like that George still sorta hinted at palpatine being the reason for anakins creation. Did it in a way where if he wanted to it could become canon

[@jacobwest7]

So alot of fans like that han was left out since they thought him witnessing the Force being used would make it difficult to believe his non belief. But a Force push doesn't mean there is an all powerful force it just shows these warriors have super abilities

[@danielscott8180]

Unfortunately, The Mandalorian will probably reveal much more about Yoda's origin through Grogu. So that mystery will be solved by Disney in a way no one wants and most likely in the lamest way which will likely destroy Yoda as a character.

[@candymustache.]

This is a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@darkvelocity3056]

To counterbalance my political post about Musk and Igor, like you, these types of vids are my favorites of your others. I also found it interesting that this is another area that we hear about Anikin's paternal father! We don't care if it's not your normal physical location (home office)...KEEP 'EM COMIN!

[@Cyber_Productions1998]

Great video really enjoying the videos of you covering this book. Some crazy stuff we never got to see but expands on theories we have had. Such as palpatine being the one who created anikan through manipulation of the midochlorians.

[@dandannerson5925]

Loved this video! You've been doing some great videos recently. Been a fan since the beginning and it's nice to finally have some fun and interesting things to watch in the middle of all the Disney garbage & never ending announcements/cancelations.

[@nick7077]

Why didn’t Vader immediately seek out Padme after becoming Vader? Would he not crash her funeral?

[@Jack_Stafford]

I would have preferred this over the jumping on droid heads and hover disks! And it's a crime Qui Gon didn't return to Obi Wan in ROTS.

[@Jimijam22]

Fun theory, Qui-gon never made it into the original trilogy because his spirit fully became one with the force after teaching yoda and obi-wan everything he knew and understood about the force. Leaving him in perfect balance with the force

[@Highplayzr6]

Pleas never quit, so many creators have quit before they would’ve been done naturally due to whatever reasons. Ur contents great keep it going

[@jlowery1984]

Theory I'm sure you have, but if not check out Charlie Hopkinson, take on Qui-Gon and Kenobi.

[@Nobodyfrom2003]

One question (would be nice if it was made into a video) would Anakin be able to defeat Palpatine when he discovered himself as Darth Sidious? When he got on guard with his lightsaber and said he was gonna turn him into the council.

[@Nomanualofficial]

This makes me miss the comic videos you did you're a good speaker

[@Spiderwolfer]

This style of video is cool man. Super casual I like it.

[@popshot8898]

[@nedsketit5334]

really old school star wars theory video here well done🎉🎉🎉

[@PewterScott]

I just realized that Rey really is a Skywalker....kinda. If Palpatine was Anakin's "father" bc he manipulated the midichlorians for Anakin's miracle birth, then Anakin is Rey's uncle 🧐 She still sucks, but this is cool

[@danielclark-hughes692]

Your Han Solo, Yoda and Papa Palpatine voices are spot on dude.

[@joejohnson5051]

Nice work man! The voices were great too

[@Darthbaldmouse]

Awesome video, thank you.

[@Hohrd]

Hey Theory, thanks for sharing your thoughts and giving us daily Star Wars vids. Just because there’s no shows on atm I still prefer to dive into the galaxy and talk about the force!

[@BeyondResolution]

Love storytime with the autority on everything Star Wars! peace and love, my dude!! :)

[@1mmorta1coi1]

The original shadow-written novel with Alan Dean Foster talked about it, too. It is elucidating to consider the progress of this story, beginning in Lucas' 75 drafts, to what Obi-Wan says directly to Luke in the OT, down through this first draft. The real master stroke of George Lucas: leaving us to decide within our own imaginations how a young Darth Vader's strike upon the Jedi Temple may have looked -- within in our own minds. Highly Masterful. Excellent video, Theory 👊💀🍻🚬

@Star Wars Theory Wow, after all of these years of Revenge Of the Sith being my favourite Star Wars movie, I am still learning much more about it. I am loving the exploration of the making of this wondrous movie. I was surprised to hear about a 10 year old Han Solo. It wouldn't have bothered me if Palpatine told Anakin about his conception as it would have made much more sense.

[@larrymasif5851]

This initial script would’ve been great! And made “somewhat” more sense!

[@logicaltoafault6310]

If qui gon had learned through the force that sidious was palpatine and learned to became a force ghost to warn the jedi order, mostly his former master (yoda) and former student (obi wan).

[@jaredekelman4229]

It Actually Makes No Sense that Qui-gon was Able to Show Himself to Obi-wan when in the Clone Wars Series Qui-gon Mentioned to Yoda that He's Not Able to Manifest Himself Because His Training to Becoming a Force Ghost was Incomplete. As a Result He was Only Able to Comunicate with Others in the Living World But Not Manifest His Human Form. Makes No Sense.

[@kenanmeral8891]

Well duh, this script was written before the clone Wars, now it isn't part of the story and therefore doesn't have any effect on the clone Wars whatsoever

@@jaredekelman4229 The only explanation would be due to them begin in Mortis when it happen which is supposed to be a realm in between reality and the force itself.
