I've just remembered what Maz told Rey in TFA "If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people." I'M SHOOK

[@blackcat9513]

Kylo have millenial eyes . Han thought..omg

[@DragonRebelRose]

After seeing the movie and how phenomenal it was, I can say without a doubt that you are 100% correct about this theory. Rey and Kylo's love story/dynamic is a complete opposite and yet a complete echo or mirroring of Anakin and Padmes. It makes my Reylo heart happy to see this being fulfilled, especially since maybe the Skywalker family can finally be at peace with themselves and the conflict can end.

[@thebendu33]

If this is right. Maybe people will start to like the Disney era movies.

[@kale3144]

Johann Hamel I dont love them, and I do believe that legends did the post ROTJ Better, but I can watch and don’t hate them, I will never love them as much as legends, but they arent as bad as everyone thinks

[@Nickferal]

Leia never had memories of Padme!!! She had force-visions!!! She tried to remember her mother, but she got visions instead!!! #PlotHoleSolved

[@CarrieArt7]

Well you definitely got this all figured out. I think if Star Wars fans understood all this deeper meaning there would be more appreciation for the prequals.

[@Lefty8013]

Well Reylo just happened

[@Lefty8013]

Humble in victory

[@linnrain5549]

I still can't believe there are people out there saying that their connection doesn't mean anything/isn't romantic... What movie did they watch? The amount of chemistry and meaning in their every interaction is astounding.

[@Three60Crusader]

Lindsey Hoyer idk their body language tells a lot to me.

[@nuriitxu2415]

Even Mark Hamill in an interview said that Rey and his nephew has a romantic tension ♥....But there are people who live happily with ignorance ¬¬

[@jon-unicorn-doxxer]

Carzekiel - they are mostly DamRey fans..

[@blondetapperware8289]

Wow. This is by far one of the best star wars theories I have seen yet. Excellent video and analysis. Can't wait to see part 2.

[@olgak.1139]

In TROS Ben transfers the remains of his life to resurrect Rey.Compassion is the unconditional love that his grandfather Anakin had told to his grandmother Padme in ep.2 And Ben made it true. He got humble,refused the hubris of the Jedi and the Sith and succeeded where Anakin had failed .

[@berserk4souls]

Are you telling me he finished what Vader started!? 🤯

[@olgak.1139]

@@berserk4souls From a certain point of view, yes. But that Kylo's line at TFA was never explained neither how he had Vader's helmet since Luke was the only one in front of the pyre at ROTJ🤔

[@CeedeeableOne]

I like the idea that Anakin drained the life out of Padmé to keep himself alive. That gives the whole idea surrounding Palpatine's sentence a new twist: "He had such a knowledge of the dark side; he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying."

[@Nick-4K]

This is a theory similar to mine as well. Only I thought that both Rey and Kylo are reincarnated Anakin. One being light. The other Dark. Good video dude.

[@isobelduncan]

It's like The Force was thinking: Right, I stuffed this up the first time, I'm going to try again and this time get it right.

[@allybraun4842]

is it okay if I cried watching this? I don't even know

[@christycm5946]

I CANNOT WAIT FOR ALL YOUR POST TLJ VIDEOS!!!!

[@DeJake]

This is why I hate people that put the prequels down, purely because of the acting or their lack of instant satisfaction by seeing the prequels out of the context of the original ending

[@writingref]

Dude. You are so 100 percent correct and you deserve tons of credit

[@Phatseattle]

Holy shat 😱😱😱 mind BLOWN!!! I’ll never watch these movies the same. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@salihalexanderesq.2243]

This is the single greatest video I've ever seen on KZbin. Bravo!!!

[@Bachian278]

Excellent as always, even in a rush it is A+ work!

[@jamorales1400]

your theory is kinda happening.. well with how kylo and rey interact in the last jedi.. well now im excited for the next movie of how it will end.

[@Laura-qn2nf]

Really well researched and well presented. Nice job, whether or not it's "true" r.e. Star Wars, it was great to listen to. Felt like a great college English class.

[@kyleighnaughton5500]

I just rewatched The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, and because of this video I noticed a couple of times when they mentioned “power couplings”! In Phantom Menace, one of the announcers at the pod race says “there goes the power coupling!” about one of the other racers, but now I feel like this line is meant to foreshadow Anakin and Padme’s relationship? Anakin winning the race really set his entire future with Padme in motion, since it results in him being freed. I also think the race is when he most starts to embrace his connection with the Force, based on Qui Gon’s advice. In Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan tells Anakin “it’s dangerous near those power couplings, don’t go through there.” Also meant as a warning not to pursue his relationship with Padme? Anyway, thank you for creating such great videos and inspiring me to look deeper into these movies!

[@blakereed1654]

What if Rey and Kylo Ren are both reincarnations of Anakin, but Rey is the lightside point of view and Kylo Ren is the Darkside point of view. Kind of like when Revan was split into two force perspectives if you will in the swtor games

[@annikalapudas9742]

I'm so happy to see you have made these videos! Great ideas and thinking. Maybe you have read little bit too much into some parts, but I totally love what you're saying there. Excellent video as always :)

[@k.c.8722]

Anni Kalapudas he is stretching this pretty far, but it’s also kinda interesting, and the example from ep.5 kills me.😆

[@BruceTetsuya]

This is one of the best Reylo analysis videos I've ever seen. Props, Wayward Jedi. I've been theorizing ever since TFA that Reylo is the only endgame that makes sense for Star Wars' Skywalker Saga. The perfect cyclical nature of this Trilogy of Trilogies.

[@isobelduncan]

I've already seen pt 1 and 2, but your videos are so insightful and engaging, I keep coming back for more!

[@BoisegangGaming]

I've honestly thought it would be amazing if these characters are resurrections or manifestations of certain aspects of the force, which would bring it to a really neat close.

[@fulcrumthebrave5715]

I'm glad that these videos are coming back

[@blackeyedlily]

This looks great! I’ll wait for you to post the rest of it before I start promoting it to others.

[@ivoneowl2027]

Bravo,,,,bravo ,,,,, this was brilliant. You even quoted George Lucas and "HIS" visions for the Mythology of Star Wars and all its prequels creating motifs to deal with issues that exist today. George Lucas writes romantic fairytales but they like to call them fanfiction.

[@AWDTH1111]

Dude...You are a GENIUS

[@GabiBrooks]

Dude..you just became my favourite SW youtuber for the simple fact that you understand amd love mythology. Finally an in-depth analysis just like I would have done if I was a youtuber.🤣

[@GrandJediMaster7860]

This is amazing! Along with the Ring theory by Mike Klimo (which is more about the structure of the trilogies) this has gotta be my favourite Star Wars-related discussion =) Can't wait to see Episode VIII in 2 days.

[@sharifmansour9678]

This type of discussion was ongoing in the force.net forums a decade ago. Mike Klimo kind of came along and gave it a name. This "Wayward Jedi" channel has truly continued it into the new movies, and I'm happy to see it.

[@kikidouloveme1504]

Completely in love with this channel....

[@AndreasLovely]

I really like the point you make here about Qui-Gon interfering with fate during the dice roll on Tatooine. I never really thought of it like that. We know that the Sith interfered with the natural flow of things in order to create Anakin. But the Jedis' interference with the natural flow of The Force goes unnoticed. It's quite poetic that in the end both the Jedi and the Sith are destroyed for trying to interfere with The Force. The Force ultimately belongs to neither the Jedi nor the Sith.

[@angyalvad983]

Rey and kylo ren lover mystery force good Anakin and Padme legendary life lover Ben and Rey hope love forever 🌓🌹🐲🐲🏯🏯🌬️🌬️🥀🥀🌌🌌🌜🌜🌜

You're amazing!

[@mozart7820]

Brilliant.

[@ANNA-cf7cg]

Everything is True! SW Rebels confirmed that. Good job!

[@chrisdelisle3954]

It's so refreshing to hear someone defend "The Phantom Menace." I love the big picture vision of this. On to Part 2.

[@nazmitepshi3653]

Love your channel

[@karizaalves7477]

I cried a river watching this movie. Really loved it.

[@bait009]

holy crap is there more of that opening video

[@jacobscott4458]

yes they are

[@johnforbes4915]

I love this theory so much!!! Fingers crossed 😁

[@cliu1904]

I love prequel trilogy stan! Whether you like it or not, PT ultimately presents and establish Lucus’s fundamental story telling ideas

[@SeeraLin]

Hei I love your videos! Thanks, it's a pleasure to watch them! In March there the novelization of the Last Jedi will be released, will you make a video about it?

[@johnryan3622]

I like how much thought you put into this. I’m 100% sure that you’ve given the writers of the first 6 movies too much credit. The reality will be very simple, disqualifying this theory.

[@preludetoventure]

Hey I would advice you to do some research about the Kundalini which is a female energy entity as a concept of Dharma. Carl Jung even did a seminar about this subject.

[@MLitey]

I subscribed to your channel before this video and I was right to do so. 10/10

[@wardlafferty362]

Wayward Jedi...I'd also include the scene from TCW where Anakin gave his lightsaber to Padme to hold he knew they could potentially return.

[@Celia-rk4vj]

dude your videos are amazing

[@alonecold.8620]

these videos are so helpful

[@serbancapraru8559]

Okay, that last bit was creepy. I wonder if it's actually intentional... hard to believe, I guess, they could have never thought so much ahead.

[@serbancapraru8559]

From that angle it does make more sense. Nice videos, by the way. Keep doing what you do. It's fascinating how Star Wars has managed to create such a rich modern myth, and it's a pleasure to learn about it in your videos.

[@princessmoonlightgisaeng8336]

Question... are you the reincarnated Nostradamus? Cuz all of your predictions, analyzing the plots, religions and mythology you say is TRUE :D! Your vids are GREAT!!! Looking forward to see more!!!

[@blondetapperware8289]

Have you heard of Carl Jung's Anima and the Animus teaching? It seems to relate tons to Rey and Kylo.

[@blondetapperware8289]

+Wayward Jedi Awesome! Glad to hear that!

[@justsomegirl7274]

How so?

[@theoriginalsangster1570]

Congratulations on being right about everything

[@justsomegirl7274]

now tho...

[@Masteroogway40]

Mind blown!

[@Pomoscorzo]

When I first learned that Anakin's was some kind of virgin birth, I thought it sucked. But now I realized that Kylo Ren said to his grandfather's mask that he will finish what he started, and his sword looks like a cross - symbol of horrible pain and death, but also of rebirth. Now it all makes sense. :-)

[@carolineboer5218]

Loved this video, although I feel like the end is a bit of a stretch. While I’d love to believe the writers had the intention of this full over arcing story and theme all along there’s no way I can give them that much credit. To sneak in such a minor line that hints to the story of a trilogy that would come out decades later written produced and directed by different people. More like a beautiful coincidence in my opinion

[@ralucamalita]

Hello there! I also think you got it right. There is a scene, where Luke realises that Rey is behaving in such a manner that shows she is too familiar with Ach-To, and asks her about it, asks her who she is, tells her: "you've seen this island", "only in dreams", she replies, but what if these dreams are actual memories, since she was a baby, what if she was born on Ach-To? What if the pit calls her because it knows her, I don't know, I'm going too far. I would like thought to see your opinion on that scene in another video.

[@2QAYL1138]

I love it when the sci-fi tech-speak mumbo jumbo turns out to have deep thematic significance! Just like the cloaked binary beacon!

[@dorriethewitch3870]

Love it. Also will be suing ugnaught for emotional distress

[@jonathanbethea8573]

... That C-3P0 argument at the end is ridiculous.

[@joannewilton5348]

love the mom reference

[@blackcat9513]

7:24 That's sound familiar.... Han and Leia letting go Ben

[@rawkmode6315]

Why does this video only have 50k views?

[@bonnies.3530]

I can't believe SW Rebels went there with reverse Anidala!!!

[@mattwf2888]

I hope this it!

[@Calypso3]

Thumbs up given exactly at 4:48 😂

[@KiwiFresh]

I swear to God if Kylo kills Rey.

[@StephenStrangeFool]

So tragic that what happened to Anakin happened 😩

[@carlajoguthrie6498]

So why does Leia remember her 'real' mother if Padme died when they were born? I must have missed something?

[@carlajoguthrie6498]

Happens to me all the time!

[@iona2225]

I love your videos, but one problem: The Force knocked up Anakin’s mom, the mother figure impregnating the mother figure. The Force had a dong at one point or another haha. In all seriousness, I think that, like the Force itself being seperated into two polarities, it isnt just one gendered, motherlly focus and covers both feminine and masculine traits, to heal, to create yet also to destroy and control. If the universe itself is of a feminine focus, the Force is an alien element all on its own in comparison to ‘reality’ or what is considered mundane, being of definitively ethereal stature and easily disrupts the natural equilibrium of both environments and individuals.

[@masterjedi5674]

Okay but Anakin must kill Palpatine

[@scowlistic]

Is the narration sped up slightly? It sounds jittery.

[@ImJeSsYMaRtY]

I doubt that she's padme I think its in reverse ben is padme living through anakin's choices in his first life I.E ben feeling like he's a monster as a child and his parents being afraid of him to the point of sending him to Luke in TLJ Novel . mirrors anakin getting sent to the Jedi and how the younglings and most masters treated anakin and Rey is anakin living through a mix living through padme's choices I.E Luke thinking that she comes from royalty and how Leia gives everything her family's status , her clothes and belongs if she ends up dying to Rey the only thing thats a problem with this is anakin's lightsaber if Rey is anakin and anakin gave his lightsaber to padme in the this weapon is my life scene in TCW then it should call to ben if he was padme but it calls to Rey we could say she's padme and be done with it but its the kyber thats calling to Rey Anakin got that Kyber cyrstal in the gathering the kyber crystal has always belonged to anakin we know the crystals have their own will as they messed with the Death Star in tarkin and the kyber that Vader bleed for his lightsaber fought him so the kyber might want to be with its true owner again in Rey it splitting and ben calling it in TLJ makes this part murky

[@2QRh6g1I]

So then, Anakin literally screwed himself?

[@jstnblnd]

interesting but i think you are missing something simpler and even more full-circle: that rey is a reincarnation of anakin

[@johnforbes4915]

Justin Bland I also agree with this idea. I'd be happy with either theory being correct. Either would bring the story full circle.

[@Savagemode09]

This is what I'm thinking too. Like hasn't felt such power before except his father. Even though Like was supposed to be The Chosen One. It was his father .. So maybe the rebirth of Rey is to balance the force with Kylo Ren .

[@KiraJenLove]

This sounds like a good theory...however, Anakin growing in his own daughter's body just sounds weird...

[@jon-unicorn-doxxer]

DaughterofEve what? LOL..

[@KiraJenLove]

Because if, as the video suggests, Ben is the reincarnation of Anakin, and Ben came out of Leia, Anakin's daughter...you see what I mean?

[@angelaustin6545]

+DaughterofEve If you do the research, that type of reincarnation happens all the time. Kind of like seeing your child grow up as she raised you to be the person you knew she could be when you gave her life.

[@KiraJenLove]

Reincarnation is metaphysical and therefore cannot have "objective" research. But your answer makes no sense anyway...one cannot pre-exist oneself...

[@easteryeko9742]

This my be weird but rey looks a lot like padme

[@Chadaface]

To be absolutely honest, that interpretation of star wars as the modern myth is not valid at all for the sequels. That time has passed away. Its just an insanly milkable brand now that will never match up to any of the 6 moves before it, its all out there for fast paced mass consumption now.

[@annnee6818]

Reborn? In a symbolic sense maybe but if they did it literally it would seriously detract from the story.

[@MrBtterman]

Ann Nee and would completely shit on Jedi and sith backstories/lore. This theory would be seen as a too easy scapegoat to all the shit writing and would be the FINAL nail to the coffin definitely not a wise idea. Eh 6/10 theory.

[@TheLun4tic]

are you implying that Rey and Kylo are resurrected Padme and Anakin?

[@Savagemode09]

This is what am thinking as well I always pictured rey and kylo together. Weird but true.

[@owennorcross4407]

No the force is feline

[@ken131]

The prequels are still incompetent garbage and you're trying very hard to make them seem better. BUT I do appreciate how this interpretation could allow the current sequels to retroactively make sense of the prequels.

[@questaoolavo2346]

after watching this i think i have done good to do not watch anything of star wars after the lase jedi, and i dont think you undestand nothing to the force, the force is about religion that god or the god powers dont have gender or a agenda, after the purge of the jedi the force is still unbalanced, there is the sith and the inquisitors, aprentices of the dark side, so the dark is more powerfull than the light, and after this there is more jedi than sith becouse the sith are extinc, the profecy is finished, the sith is erradicaded but the fight of light versus darkness inside everyone still continues..

[@SkySweeperSyn]

I swear to god if it turns into another fucking romance story im done with star wars.

[@camilap.1638]

Sky Sweeper Romance has always been part of Star Wars. Sorry.
