Today, let's (re)learn about The Son :)

The Son is deadass a material manifestion of what remains of The Celestials in the universe. If The Son was able to escape Mortis which was a prison and power limiter on both he and his sister, he would literally be able to rip open wormholes and crush worlds with his thoughts alone. Hell, his Force Storms would be under perfect control unlike DE Sidious and possibly consume solar systems. But I do wonder if Mgnnal-Mgnnal found out that a descendant of The Celestials that made his horrid mother was about the galaxy if it'd break free of the Galactic Rift between The Unknown Regions abd try to kill The Ones ?

[@Thetallestgirrafe]

I think it’s actually more like join the dark side so you can defeat the Sith. As we saw through the episodes, the son was always of the dark side but it was only in the episode that he started to fall to the temptations it brings. They use the words dark side and Sith interchangeably in the episode, which is confusing and annoying yeah, but basically the Sith abuse use of the force to serve the self, which can’t be done through the light side. They do it to such an extent it throws the whole thing out of balance, which is bad for both the dark and the light side.

So the DARK SIDE ITSELF had more redeeming qualities than Sidious!

[@maxtafolla6206]

Well that’s because the true dark side isn’t necessarily “evil”. It’s just that the force wielders that use dark side powers tend to abuse it, which is where the evilness comes from. Not from the force, but the user. The force isn’t good nor evil, balanced, until force users like sidious/Jedi have unbalanced the force many times throughout history

Also, the story feels kinda like RoTS Post-Jedi Purge (Yoda-Palps coalition, you gotta be kidding me?!), for e.g. we get no Dooku, no Windu and other capable Jedi Masters (sure, they would most likely just make for a bantha fodder for Anakin and the Son, but with the Dagger in their possession, it would at least make their deaths justifiable as a heavy price for victory)

[@anakinvader9120]

Plz do a "What if Anakin's memory hadn't been erased." These episodes were so deep, one can only speculate.

[@mitchelllawton8999]

There was a Star Wars Magazine that did that after the episodes aired. The magazine's had the usual stuff for kids like quizzes, posters, little facts, etc, but they always did a What If scenario where they took moments from the show, and wrote a story on what could've been. This was one of them, in which : Anakin's memory is never erased, and he teams up with the Son. They defeat Obi - Wan in the well, and leaves him to die. Anakin then goes to the ship, and kills Ahsoka. Anakin and the Son fix the ship, and escapes Mortis. Once they arrive on Coruscant, Yoda and Palpatine sense what has happened, and team up against Anakin and the Son! They fight, and both Palpatine, and Yoda die. Anakin then storms into the Senate to take control, while the Son finds in Palpatine's office...Order 66. I can't remember the full story, but that was the gist of what happened more or less. It's super dark, and crazy, and I wish we could've gotten an episode where the Son showed Anakin this as a possible future. I mean a duel between Dark Side Anakin, the Son, Palpatine, and Yoda would've been mind blowing!

[@chasehervey2384]

@Blake Townsend yes it would didnt think about that

[@blackshogun272]

@Blake Townsend he would have to be broken. It's the only way they could give The Son a deserving representation. People assume The Son gets wrecked any day by Legends Palpatine and Full Power Anakin/Luke but the dude is having his powers limited on the world since Mortis is in another realm of reality. If this dude we're to take manifestion to the Real Space Realm who knows what he'd look like. If I put Abeloth on a 15 I'd list The Daughter at a 12 with her bother and The Father at a reasonable 14. And if I were to list Full Power Anakin and DE Sidious they'd both be between 8.5-10. The difference in power is really that big. The show just couldn't represent it since homie never got off of Mortis. Plus before interstellar travel was a mainstream thing and actually beneficial for some races, a shit ton of Eldritch Horrors roamed the galaxy and Other Space to and fro and would put the underpowered Son and Daughter to shame 💀💀💀

[@master13fox]

@Blake Townsend it would be bad cuz he is the most powerful force user in universe. No one can kill him. You need this special sword. Palpatine or Vader wouldn't kill him. He is god

I down for more in depth knowledge on The Ones and their connection with Abaloth

[@austinchandler3079]

A quick run down. Abeloth was a servant for The Ones and filled in as the mother before she was corrupted by the Fountain of Power and the Pool of Knowledge. Using her newfound power, she made the Son and the Daughter kneel to her. The Father intervened and went to Mortis. (Don't get it mixed up though, the hierarchy of power is as follows: The Father > The Son / The Daughter > Abeloth. She is not more powerful than them.). The Son and the Daughter joined hiveminds with the Killik of Alderaan and they built technologies like Centerpoint Station. Using Centerpoint Station, the Son and the Daugther created shells of black holes which would become the Maw where the Father would trap Abeloth in the Maw and take the Son and the Daughter to Mortis. They came back out when she escaped, but then retreated back to Mortis after imprisoning her again, and then the events of the Clone Wars takes place and they die. The story of The Ones and Abeloth goes WAY more in-depth, but that's the gist of her connection to them.

@Uwusus Udududud lmao with that horrible grammar and adding "hilarious" at the end. Already tells me that you're an obvious troll lmao

[@BI-11y_TheStormTrooper]

@Uwusus Udududud the reason why qui gon was defeated by maul wasn't because of him being weak it's because qui gon only used form 4 light saber dueling and form 4 uses acrobatics it also requires open space which he didn't have in the duel with maul , so he tried form 3 which he really didn't know , this is explained in one of his videos I think it's called how powerful is qui gon jinn or something like that . So actually since he wasn't using his only form he actually knew and the main force power he used the mind trick was both useless in the fight that is why he lost , it's like if I gave you a light saber and without any training told you to fight a youngling that is somewhat trained in the force , light saber training and is your size and strength you would lose too .

[@BI-11y_TheStormTrooper]

@Uwusus Udududud , I stated straight facts my dude , honestly I think you need to go do more research because RN it seems sadly you are a troll trying to create a commotion but it's not really working and if you aren't trying to be a troll then honestly show something to support your argument .

[@beowulf.reborn]

Re-watching these episodes, and getting others' takes on it, I finally understand that the Son is *_not_* the embodiment of the Dark Side, rather, he represents the dark side inclination that we all have in us, that we must suppress and fight against. He himself was not the Dark Side, but he did have a strong pull towards the Dark Side. It is said several times in the arc that he *_falls_* to the Dark Side, and when he does then everything goes out of balance. So the Son represents natural emotions like fear and anger, etc. and how the Darkness tries to use these to ensnare us, but we must fight against it. Whilst the Daughter represents the Selfless love of the Light Side, and she is there to help her brother overcome his struggle with the Darkness. The Father watches over both, making sure the Son does not selfishly give into the Darkness, and ensuring the Daughter is safe, as she Selflessly loves and supports her brother. Ensuring that the two are working together to fight the Darkness. Resist selfishness, embrace and share selflessness. Resist hate, embrace and share love. Resist the Darkness, embrace and share the Light. When the Son falls to the Dark Side, the Balance is lost. No longer resisting the Darkness, the Son now embraces it. And of course this results in pain and suffering, as the family is destroyed.

I always saw them as personifications of the force itself, yet the children were destructive on their own or always conflict with each other with the father always having to come between them and balance it out. Without the daughter look at how the planet turned out, imagine if it was the other way around light without darkness. In a way it truly reflects what the force is and the consequences of the absent of one side.
