In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, one of the big controversies amongst us fans is in regards to Padme's death. How did she actually die? Did she really have a broken heart that led to her demise? Or was Palpatine using force drain to take her life essence and give it to Vader? Well, here's the answer! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What a treat this is. I'm so thankful for Paul Duncan's book The Star Wars Archives 1999-2005. It has so many interviews and exclusive things with George Lucas that reveals things I never knew about. It's always a fun time reading from this book because you never know what you find in each new page. I feel it's necessary for us to understand what George Lucas thought of the Sith and Jedi Learn mor...

In Star Wars Archives 1999-2005 book we get a nice little piece from Natalie Portman about how she felt Padme felt about Anakin Skywalker. While I've done a video in the past about how Padme felt about Anakin in universe, it's fun to see what Natalie Portman actually thought too. We have to remember, George Lucas instilled all of Padme's thoughts into Natalie's head to be able to act out the chara...

In the making of The Return of the Jedi book, there is a dialogue chapter where George Lucas discusses Anakin Skywalker had he not used Vader's suit that Palpatine gave him in Revenge of the Sith. I would love to know more about this from George as he glossed over it. What would have happened had Anakin chosen the light side, and received plenty of force healing? What if Vader got the most up to d...

In Star Wars, the Cloning process was mass produced for years, so were cloned limbs...so with all of Vader's pain and suffering to his body, why didn't he or Palpatine start a cloning process for himself to return as Anakin Skywalker or just simply repair his limbs, lungs, and organs to reach his full potential as a Sith Lord or Jedi?

In Star Wars revenge of the Sith, we saw the final conclusion to Anakin Skywalker until his redemption 30 years later at the hands of Luke Skywalker, his son. Anakin’s journey as a slave boy on Tatooine, wide eyed and Ernest to save his slave mother one day, he goes off with the Jedi on some idealistic crusade. Anakin surprises all the Jedi at the temple with his ability to learn quickly and devel...

Force ghosts have always been such an interesting concept to me. After the end of return of the Jedi, we never saw them again. It always made me wonder what could force ghosts learn in the netherworld? What new abilities and powers could they progress and is it really another dimension just like the living, but with doors that allow for grander powers to be unlocked? Well, today we get to learn of...

Well here we go folks. An Age old question that can be answered if we go back to the early 80’s when George Lucas was writing out the details to The Return of the Jedi. That’s right, we’re going back to the making of return of the jedi in today's episode, I’m loving this book more and more each time I pick it up because we get to learn George’s reasons behind his writing.

In the making of the return of the Jedi, George Lucas is going over many difference scenes, and in one short instance, he comes across a discussion with Marquand on the topic of Ben lying to Luke and why he wrote the story that way. Here’s the transcript. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the return of the jedi, we got my favourite scene in all of Star Wars, the celebration after the death start 2 blew up, with Luke hanging his arm on the tree as he gazes off into the distance to acknowledge his father Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda. Many, and I mean many, have theorized that Leia saw them too, and that even Han saw them, as we can see him staring in the background w...

In Star Wars, midichilorians were the closest thing we had to power levels. Anakin, as a 9 year old, were over 20,000, more than master Yoda himself. The prequels were the first time we entered a measurable state of the force, now while midichlorians aren’t to be mistaken for one’s full on power levels, they are an abstraction of one’s potential should they train in the force. Now back in the 80’s...

Back when George Lucas was writing The Empire Strikes Back, he originally thought of Lando being the template for the Clone Army. Could you imagine this? Lando fighting Obi-Wan Kenobi in Attack of the Clones and Mace Windu defeating Lando Fett (lol) in front of baby Lando. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Star Wars Return of the Jedi, George Lucas and his team discussed the early treatment of the story and its characters, namely, Luke Skywalker. A good debate transcript from 1981-82 reveals Geroge Lucas' response to Lawrence Kasdan when proposed to kill Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi. George has an eloquent way of discussing the matter as to why he feels that would not be the best thing at...

In an original discussion regarding The Return of the Jedi, George Lucas tells Lawrence Kasdan a few things about Yoda and the force, including, how Vader would kill Yoda in a fight. This was pre Return of the Jedi. Now of course Yoda's abilities changed later in the prequels with Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan, Dooku, Ahsoka, Palpatine and more, but it's interesting to know that his origin...

in the early scripts for The Empire Strikes back, as noted in 'the making of The Empire Strikes Back" book, we get Luke Skywalker fighting Darth Vader as he's using force lightning. The idea was eventually scrapped of course, but it's interesting to learn of George Lucas' thought process behind giving Luke this power against his father. The Emperor remains to this day, to have some of the most pow...

In the Making of The Empire Strikes Back, Vader was supposed to kill Luke Skywalker through the force, telepathically. They were supposed to fight on what becomes Hoth, and in this first draft, Vader isn't Luke's father. He's the guy who killed Anakin Skywalker. R2 saves Luke, again, and blasts off into hyperspace, where Luke was able to breathe again from the force choke. Luke then goes to meet M...

This is a long explanation from George Lucas, printed in The Making of Star Wars Return of the Jedi, about Anakin Skywalker, Palpatine, Order 66, Padme, Leia, Luke Skywalker, and the end of the prequels, far before they were filmed. This episode will also explain why Leia says she remembers her mother in Return of the Jedi. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Luke Skywalker that we all know and love, was first written completely different to who we know him to be, today. George Lucas, in his first drafts for The Star Wars were quite different to what they came to become, however through this writing process, did we finally get the Luke Skywalker we know. The Luke in the originals. The Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian Season 2 against the Dark Troopers...

What if Anakin had shown up to Luke Skywalker on Dagobah with Yoda? How is this possible, you ask? Well, in the original screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back, George Lucas was going to have Anakin Skywalker be a different character than Darth Vader. This would have made Obi-Wan Kenobi's lie to Luke, about his father being killed by Vader, true. It was later changed of course, and we got Vader dr...

In Star Wars Attack of the Clones, Anakin's Mother, Shmi Skywalker, passed away due to the Tusken's capturing her. Anakin reveals in the novel that he felt it was majorly Obi-Wan's fault not only that he was held back, but also that he was responsible for her death in the end. I believe if Qui-Gon Jinn had trained Anakin, then things wouldn't have ended up in the dark side. Vader wouldn't exist, a...
