Therefore a universe with a greater dedication to understanding, to say nothing of mere increased awareness, the eponymous Dark Lord could be expected to manifest itself in likewise unnaturalness. This, of course, would represent as dichotomy, in which all universes are judged upon the average social consciousness of the Tragedy of Darth Plageuis the Wise. Unfortunately current research has not yet established anything more than a tenuous correlation between the two aforementioned phenomena.

we need the 2 hour long unabridged Anakin's thesis

[@r3dp9]

Chat GPT could probably generate a thesis. It would take a bit of prompt engineering to make the thesis long enough, but that's probably the easiest method to write an incoherent ramble of sufficient length.

[@AlexanderGieg]

@@r3dp9Lol, I did just that, and it works quite well! The first two paragraphs: "This thesis delves into the intricacies of the dychotomy presented in The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, as a post-modernist exploration of the Dark versus Light Sides of the Force. Through a critical analysis of the text, I aim to unravel the complexities of this dychotomy, highlighting its significance within the broader framework of Jedi philosophy. By employing a post-modernist lens infused with dialectics, this thesis aims to shed light on the multifaceted nature of the Force and its inherent dualistic tendencies. Through this exploration, I seek to challenge traditional dichotomous interpretations and offer a more nuanced understanding of the dynamic interplay between darkness and light. In this introductory chapter, I provide an overview of the central themes of The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise and outline the objectives of this thesis. By situating the text within the context of Jedi lore, I set the stage for a deeper exploration of the dychotomy between the Dark and Light Sides of the Force. Drawing on extensive dialectical analysis, I establish the framework through which this analysis will be conducted, emphasizing the importance of reconciling opposing forces to achieve a higher synthesis. We'll delve into the dychotomy of power as exemplified by the characters of Darth Plagueis and his apprentice. Through a dialectical lens, I explore how their pursuit of power leads to a perpetual cycle of conflict and subjugation. By analyzing the dialectical relationship between master and apprentice, I reveal the inherent instability of power dynamics within the Sith Order, ultimately leading to its downfall, challenging the notion of absolute knowledge and highlighting the limitations of both the Sith and Jedi perspectives. By embracing uncertainty and ambiguity, I argue for a more fluid understanding of knowledge that transcends traditional binaries."

​@@r3dp9But his thesis is not incoherent. It proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the dichotomy between the light and the dark side, and the mutual fear of thesis and antithesis, is what causes the anger and suffering hampering the Jedi, but more importantly, that the authorial intent behind the story of Plagueis the Wise is to recruit an apprentice, by relying on self-same dichotomy, which l, as per Hegel's teachings, can only be overcome by a synthesis, thus bringing balance to the Force.

[@stassandrews6207]

The dichotomy of preschool drawings on the fridge and a post-graduate thesis really accentuates the duality of Anikin's simple yet intellectually thorough grasp on the mystical properties of the force. The only metaphor I can think of is an intelligently worded runon sentence.

[@davidwuhrer6704]

He's a literature major, not an art student.

[@NotYourRealMom]

one could say it's the dichotomy of academia vs the arts...

[@tajniak4335]

I'm getting the impression that Palpatine isn't really evil, he's just a sane person having to deal with Jedi's shenanigans

[@heroicdairy]

God I love that it all circles back to the thesis

[@rockerknight25]

I never imagined this would turn into an entire narratively cohesive saga but I'm glad it did.

[@Metawraith]

This was the one I most longed for, and I am as impressed as I imagined for the inclusion of the thesis as an integral plot point and still managing to steer the narrative toward the theatrical scenes. Well done.

[@jetstreampaul5029]

At this point there is no need for the Death Star. Just put Anakin on a broadcast across the planet.

You fool! That would only make him more powerful!

[@jetstreampaul5029]

@@davidwuhrer6704 as if he's not already. There is all high and mighty around him, and nobody, not a single soul, want to face his thesis.

[@davidwuhrer6704]

@@jetstreampaul5029 Indeed. His thesis includes more references than even Master Yoda's.

[@malaysian1515]

Maybe Anaki's I hate sand speech is a prelude to a thesis. Maybe the Tusken Raiders died because Anakin went into lecture mode.

[@Emmariscobar]

"I hate sand, it's rough, coarse and gets everywhere... yet without it we wouldn't even have a ground to stand on right now, what an interesting dichotomy between the negative effects that makes themselves so obvious and the hidden positive effects from it that you don't even think about! Hey, speaking of dichotomy, I actually have a whole thesis about the inherent dichotomy present within the tragedy of darth pla-[DATA EXPUNGED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY]"

I love how Anakin seems to think that "lightning fingies" is some sort of uncurable condition sith ate afflicted with.

A two hour long video on Anakins unabridged thesis? Well I'd be positively delighted to watch such a thing!

[@Lots-Of-People-are-Saying]

I love how you've turned this thesis into a running joke that everyone in universe fears. I kind of want to see him go through his thesis with yoda while he's high.

[@klingoncowboy4]

I love how his thesis is eternally canon

god i hope the thesis bit never stops...its where the fun began, really

[@josephaddington4082]

This is literally the best Star Wars bit I have ever seen. I am very invested in Anakin's thesis.

[@anangrylumberjack1229]

Vader slipped a cassette tape of his thesis playing on full blast when he threw the Emperor into the Death Star reactor.

[@RMSolitayre]

Oh God you accidentally confirmed his theory, he's never going to let you forget about that, he'll be bringing it up for the next 20 years.

[@danyells4173]

Anakin reading the full thesis would be a great Patreon stretch goal

"I'm going to tell on you." "What!?"

I shall now exclusively refer to force lightning as "lightning fingies" xD

Windo just screams at me to leave him alone and stop invading his nightmares lmfao

[@Jx493]

I already saw a lot of myself in Anakin growing up (which scared me, and my parents) but the way he is portrayed in your videos really hits close to home for me. The other children constantly asked me to stop using words with too many syllables, or indeed, in some social circles to refrain from using words of any kind. Though, I am inundated with the suspicion that you intend the viewer to empathize with Palpatine, and not Anakin.

[@davidwuhrer6704]

I don't know. Palpatine is trying to stick to a script that nobody else cares about and which circumstances have already made obsolete, yet is still acting as if he was in control, while Anakin just wants recognition for his life's work. I find it much easier to sympathise with the student.

[@redshirtveteran5688]

Anakin: *sounds like he ate a thesaurus for lunch* Also Anakin: 'Lightning fingies'

If you can't beat the Senate in a lightsaber duel, then incapacitate him with the power of confusion.
