10 Greatest Unspoken Star Wars Movie Plot Points

[@sw-gs]

In my headcanon Grievous was coughing in Episode 3 because his organic parts were slowly rejecting his mechanical prosthetic body. I imagine that Palpatine and Dooku on purpose made his body in such way so they get rid off him in later stage of Clone Wars when his role would be obsolete.

[@Enterprise-D666]

That is actually pretty close to the canon explanation for his cough. The reason why is because the rebuilding process was flawed and thus left some pretty nasty damage to his lungs which of course were one of the few organs that actually remained intact. Well, that and his eyes, intestines (which I found weird considering he doesn’t have a mouth anymore) and his brain. (Though the brain was surgically altered in multiple ways. The first was to remove his sense of mercy and warrior’s honor, as well as to allow him to learn all 7 lightsaber forms and actually be able to properly wield a lightsaber. There was one other thing that the altering of his brain did and that was suppress some of the memories of his past. All in all, the process was incredibly complex but the surgery actually led to a sort of success in that the same technology was used to rebuild Darth Vader after his fateful duel on Mustafar where the rest of his organic limbs were lopped off and his body both inside and out was severely burned and scarred.

My new favourite, “Whatever”... Sidious needs Padme gone. Sidious hires Dokoo. Dokoo hires Jango. Jango hires the Shape Shifter. Shape Shifter sends out Droid Pods. Droid Pods deliver Worms. Worms fail. Everybody wonders what went wrong.

[@Pokemon-Kid112]

Dooku

[@NFITC1]

It's stated later in the movie that Padme's defeat was at Nute Gunray's request upon joining the separatists. Dooku, being to busy to bother with such a petty revenge hires Jango to do it. Jango, being an idiot, outsources his assassination to Zaan (was that her name?) who didn't count on two Jedi guarding her at the exact moment she sent the worms. What really clinches it is the delivery droid deposited the worms and just stayed there THEN returned to Zaan when the worms were killed. It either should have immediately taken off after delivery or self-destructed when a Jedi grabbed it. The Sith would have won immediately.

[@The-Jai-5328]

@@NFITC1 Jango isn’t an idiot, he just did like the idea of going to kill a senator that is guarded by 2 Jedi in the middle of a crowded city

[@v0id91]

Sidious does need Padme gone. You forget what playing both sides mean. Chancellor's office tips off Captain about assassination on Senator Padme. Anikin and Padme are pushed Jango kills would be assassin with Kamino Dart, leads Jedi to clone army, Jango leads Obi-Wan to Genoisus, war starts, Anakin on hook for darkside with Padme marriage.

[@dinogoldie9716]

11) (TESB) In the junkroom/ugnaught workshop on Bespin, you can see what resembles the remains of IG-88 (implying that Boba Fett eliminated his competition). That said, IG-88's head previously appeared in ANH as a cantina beverage dispenser. So this might just be a coincidence.

[@BCc249]

Vader keeping chewy alive. I always assumed it was because c3po was on his back. Althougn he had fallen to the darkside he still shows that he cares about his son and i would assum he still cares about r2 and c3po(who he built himself. Aka his droid son) as well.

[@andrewhaddad6376]

But what about before 1999 when none of Vader\anakins relationship with he droids existed?

[@BCc249]

@@andrewhaddad6376 I mean alot of it did just not on screen. Lucas wrote the basics of the prequel before he wrote a new.hope. and we are talking empire here so basic ideas like that might have been fleshed out alrdy but yes i agree with video now that I've watched it.

[@sireuchre]

If Vader was trying to protect C3P0, he wouldn't have allowed him to be shot to pieces in the first place. He also wouldn't have allowed him to be sent to be melted down by the Ugnaughts, as he was about to be.

[@BCc249]

@sireuchre good point. What if he just wasn't in know though. Being able to sense the force doesn't make him psychic. It's not like he was there the whole time. I beleive all of that happened before Vader got there.

[@IRanOutOfPhrases]

@@BCc249 When we talk basics though, it was extremely basic. And lots of his stuff had severe, critical re-writes. People 'trash' on the ST because it seems so "by the seat of their pants" but that's how the OT was too. Lucas's 'prequel basics' before he wrote ANH most certainly didn't have anything about Vader being Luke's dad. That didn't come until he actually had to write ESB. So even if he did have it written down that Anakin or Vader built C-3PO, he would have had to make a choice on which one did it, as those would have been different people at that time. There is an article from ScreenRant that tries to make a clever leap. There's something from 1977 where Lucas was RPing as 3PO and mentions: "Many of the droids would fall apart very rapidly. I was lucky to be totally reassembled by a young boy working for a junk dealer. After several years I gained new coverings and became as good as new." He also mentions the planet Affa as his original 'birthplace' (before being disassembled and reassembled), but fails to really mention anything about Tatooine specifically. Lucas was improving his way through that OT. And then trapped himself in a box when he had to make the PT connect to it.

[@RaulGarfias]

4:40 To me the reason has always been pretty clear: Vader was torturing Han and Leia because he wanted to attract Luke, as he knows Luke already can use and feel through the Force. Luke hadn’t arrived to Bespin at that point, Vader just didn’t want his plan ruined because of some random stormtrooper/bounty hunter killing Luke’s bait.

[@SIFIactual]

A spoken thing we never see in any movie is teleportation...Luke wonders in ANH if the droids know how to "teleport him of this rock"..

The death star is displayed in the design of the side tables in palpatines office in episode 3. If you look at the side tables with the lamps on either side of the entrance, you'll see the death star in the metal work design of the table. you can see it at 8:45 in this video.

[@RazielGrace]

you mentioned in "return of the jedi" about Vader pointing out Luke learning Obi-wans tactic of having the high ground. A irony is as you let it play thru proves that fact all the more as Vader has shown to "learned from it" cutting the supports and there by removing Luke high ground advanatage completly instead of going up after him.

[@bradbrad6521]

for me the biggest plot point that ( can help to ) save the franchise is in episode 1 when Yoda decides Anakin was to old. If Anakin was to old at what 10? than it would be pretty easy to also come to the conclusion that Luke at 17 is to old as well? So all the events that made Luke and Anakin not such great Jedis was foreshadow we all just ignored it.

[@Limavadian]

Yoda was desperate and didn’t exactly have any other choices. Case closed.

[@joshfactor1]

yeah, that's another thing that sucks about the sequels. the luke we all know & love never would've abandoned his trusty sidekick

[@bradbrad6521]

Not really ( but ya, just trying to save this stuff lol ) every action Luke took that wasn't a " good " choice can easily be explained for same reasons Anakin was always doom to the darkside. Yoda said it very clear in episode 1 and we all ignored it, because we wanted Luke to be some giant pillar of good. You cant be older than 5 and learn the ways of the force without one day turning, the real world would have imprinted certain emotions and instincts that directly conflict with he teachings of the Jedi. Such as love for ones mother, or family.

[@NerdRahtio]

Same for the book of Boba Fett. Luke sending r2 into danger with a baby ? He should have been escorting them at least.

[@kieronlintott9210]

I think there're a few explanations for why Darth Vader would keep Chewie alive: as bait to get to Luke, to keep C-3PO safe or as a debt paid after Chewie saved Ahsoka in a Clone Wars story.

[@DocFunkenstein]

Based on what also happened in the Force Awakens, no one apparently gives a flying f$@% about Chewie. I'm still pissed that Leia rushed to hug Rey after Han's death when they disembarked from the Falcon, totally ignoring Chewie who was off first and walked right past her. But hey, Rey's totally not a Mary Sue.

[@sireuchre]

Remember how Vader had Han and Chewie tortured to help draw Luke to Bespin? A dead Chewie wouldn't be disturbing the Force like a beacon to draw in Luke, but a living one agonizing over Han being in carbonite and being detained and presumably still possibly tortured (remember they used ear shattering sounds to torture him) would. Edit: Oh, and if he cared about C3P0, he wouldn't have allowed him to be shot to pieces to begin with.
