- Sometimes, NOT knowing is more fun than knowing. And if Boba Fett's identity and midichlorians are any indication, this is VERY true with Star Wars.

Obviously, R5-D4 was secretly Force-sensitive and could see the future.
Fred Jones obviously that isn't canon!
Don't read "from a certain point of view"!
Isn't that the official legens story ?
It has since been explained in Canon that R5 purposely malfunctioned to help R2.
Bechet Félix yes, unfortunately, yes.
He wasn't lying about Plagueis, in the new canon book "Tarkin" Palpatine had thoughts of Plagueis. So Plagueis is a real character.
plagueis is Palpatines master
Everyone knows that. You didn't need to say it. I'm not sure why you thought you were teaching anyone anything by saying that.
Stereotypical Geeks EC Henry talked as if he didn't know this. Obviously in Legends there's plenty of evidence confirming this, but in canon Tarkin is the only story confirming it. So no not everyone does know it, I don't know who shoved a stick up your ass but I'd get it checked out if I were you.
Supernova Disney stated clearly that everything other than the movies are considered non canon
'Mr.CrazyShadow They also said any books/comics made by Disney after April 2014 are canon. Tarkin falls under this category, it's fully canon. You can look it up if you don't believe me.
I never want to know the age gap between Anakin and Padme.😂
The Fact Rant i dont think its that big. its only about 10 years
Notchle Perhaps, It's just that she was such a sister or mother like figure in ep1 then super love interest in ep2! It's just kinda funny.
Thanks though, I bet it would be about a decades difference.
Tha fuck? shes 14 and queen of a planet?!
ajs1031 they elected young Queens because they thought they had a childlike wisdom that is lost once they get older.
Notchle idk I'm just saying what the star wars dictionary says. I got it right here. i think it's dumb too but someone asked and I answered with the cannon answer! look it up!!!
When I was a kid (mid to late 80's for context), my "head canon" for Yoda was that he actually was human, but he so infused with the Force, it's allowed him to live long enough past where most people would see these changes ("You never see a gray one" sort of situ). I know this doesn't hold up to scrutiny, but my biggest piece of supporting evidence was the Emperor. Since we had no idea before the prequels why he looks that way, I just assumed he was simply that old and infused with the Force. I guess you could say I was unconsciously comparing them to the Guild Navigators in Dune, the spice altering their very anatomy to go along with the greater longevity and expanded consciousness.
And now the existence of Grogu destroys this theory :
I love this!
@@SMiki55tbh I love mythology (and Star Wars is basically mythology) and historically different versions of myth don't cancel each other out but provide different explanations and strengthen the idea that those figures exist
I read in the Star Wars Tales comic that the malfunctioning droid was actually a Jedi, because it had Mediclorians in its lubricant. It foresaw that R2-D2 needed to be owned by Luke so it had no other choice but to destroy itself.
Obviously the comic was not meant to be taken seriously.
thats true its the droid at the start of a new hope that the jawas try to selll to luke
Schwarzer Ritter
I love that comic.
The Rise of Skywalker: "I'm gonna ruin this man's whole year"
You know, that was the last movie I saw in the theater.
Career? Naw, it ruined the sequel trilogy. I think they should remake ep 9.
@@copterinx0468 and 8 whilst they're at it
@@Reiver-93 8 was still okay. There were some holes in it that made it less good than it could have been, but it was still enjoyable. 9 though? Total disaster, starting with even just the overall plot. In my mind, nothing comes close to somehow the Emperor being alive.
What do those buttons on Darth Vaders suit actually do
one of them plays a chicken sound effect when an opponent walks away
One of the buttons turn off his life support, so it is very vulnerable.
god of fire, you got that from fact free? right?
TheApexPlayer ATM machine
TheApexPlayer one of them automatically activates his TiE advanced
Actually R5-D5 was a force sensitive droid who felt the force needed him to malfunction.
The EU is weird sometimes
Space magical robot wizards
David Umstattd I always like the radio play where R2 sabotaged him.
Skippy the Jedi Droid!
I just assumed R5 was just a poorly made bootleg droid or something. :)
It got its own book though. (comic)
Midichlorians weren't mentioned in the Original Trilogy, but their existence is kind of hinted at, when Luke says "the Force is strong in my family". I don't personally mind midichlorians, in my mind they explain peoples force sensitivity, not the force as a whole. Its suggested in the Phantom Menace that the more midichlorians you have, the stronger your connection to the force. However, I like to think its not how many you have that determines your strength in the force, but rather how you choose to communicate with them that plays a bigger role. A person with a very small midichlorian count who devotes their life to study of the force can become far more in tune with the force than the child of a jedi grandmaster who doesn't have a clue
Skullcrusher430 you are talking about this like it's a real thing it's a movie not life the Force is not real
THE FORCE IS A LIE!!!!!?
Completely agree. A good example for your last point would probably be Chirrut Îmwe, who isn't naturally Force sensitive enough to be a Jedi, but through his understanding of the Force is clearly able to tap into it at least a little.
Necropost but, my headcannon on midichlorians isn't that they are you connection to the Force, but rather they feed off of Force energies, therefore the stronger your connection to the Force, the more latent Force energy you possess, the more 'food' you have for them. I think of them as more of an indicator species akin to certain plants only growing if such and such a mineral is present in the soil, you see the plants so you know the mineral is present even if you can't see traces of the mineral.
Thank you, I really loved the idea of midi-chlorians, even when I was told I shouldn’t, it gave the Force a scientific answer
I really want to know if those were the droids they were looking for
ztVypr they weren't
So just MOVE ALONG. Move along.
obviously not. Haven't you ever seen "Troops"?
Of course they were? Did you watch the movie? They find droid parts, so they know that the plans were sent out on droids, so they start looking for droids.
@@GameyRaccoon r/woosh
2:56 The question is answered in the Tarkin novel. No, Palpatine wasn't lying, Plagueis really existed and really experimented with life.
Spos Kanal but it's isn't canon anymore, that mean it's no more a part of lore
'Mr.CrazyShadow I'm pretty sure the Tarkin novel is canon though
Tarkin is canon. And before you say "no it's not" and i say "yes it is", you can just google the official canon.
Tarkin is a post-Disney novel, so it's canon. You may be thinking of James Luceno's Darth Plagueis novel, which got rendered non-canon.
Are they going to explain his role in the next movie?
R5-D4's malfunction was explained in From a Certain Point of view. R5 used to be a rebel droid but he had his memory wiped. But the memory imprint was enough for him to listen to R2 when he told him he was on a mission that would change the fate of the galaxy. He faked the malfunction, and actually left the Jawa transport after the stormtroopers attacked, setting out to find himself a new home. It was a very nice story.
To back up the midichlorian thing, in the expanded universe, there's a species of animal called Fractal Urchins that are Force sensitive, yet have no midichlorians in them at all.
Skippy the force sensitive droid
only in Infinities
How does he have midi chlorians?
He doesn't Skippy was made before the concept of midichlorians were made basically when it was the time the force could really be used by anyone or anything.
The Godfather skippy is a very good jedi
Gemstonehits who isn't actually a Jedi in cannon
what about jawas you should of put them on the list
+Maree J. A Bigelow good point! The true appearance of Jawas and Tusken Raiders is a huge mystery that I'd like to remain a mystery.
+EC Henry your definitely right! it should stay a mystery but it would be cool to see there faces! apparently there evolutions of the people who lived on tatooien before all the WATER was vaporized by some weapon that I forgot the name of but I learned all this on UA-cam so I don't know how true it is.
scockery Jawas have rat-like facial features, and Tuskens have the appearance of hairless cat-like humanoids.
I thought Tusken Raiders were humans, like tattoine's version of Amish people?
Maree J. A Bigelow Wookiepedia, plus reference books.
so dont mean to be that guy but i read somewhere canon that the flash when palpatine died was a manifestation of the dark side energy released upon his death
To be honest its not that big of a mystery. The fact that it gets sucked back in is obviously his force energy. Not really a super amazing thing to have hidden, like what or who yoda is.
R5D4 was actually a "jedi" named skippy and he sacrificed himself for the greater causr
Red Vega I remember reading about that somewhere. He was strong in the force And there's a story of what became of him as well.
Martin Belfast yeah well that story wasn't suppose to be taken seriously hahaha
Red Vega That story wasn't even canon when the old EU was.
Red Vega no worries I just remembered reading something years ago. But it would have been interesting to have a Jedi droid .And thanks for letting me know
Midichlorians are not the Force. Did no one listen to Qui-Gon? He said they "tell us the will of the Force"
so anikin is bassically an evil sci-fi version of jesus?
The really weird coincidence was that Pernilla August (Shmi) played Mary, Of Nazareth in a TV Movie (Mary, Mother Of Jesus) the same year as Episode 1.
MetalThroneMalc coincidence, i think so Lol.
I watched a video of Lucas stating the story of Anakin is the story of Lucifer, he was powerful, full of knowledge and was considered the greatest of gods (the force) creation.
He eventually became prideful and desired to be more than just a Cherub, he wanted to be an equal to god, he didn't want to be a servant/slave, after that he waged war in heaven (attack on Jedi temple), he and Michael fought and Michael won, (Obi-wan beat Anakin, Michael and Lucifer were actually fairly close to each other like brothers) Lucifer then dies and goes by another name Satan (Anakin goes by the name Vader, Vader is actually Dutch for father.)
Vaders Castle is actually situated on the planet Sullust which is another volcanic planet, a fiery hell.
Sounds good, except his castle has been confirmed to be on Mustafar, the place of Vader's birth and Anakin's death.
he's the Dark Messiah!!
Why would you want Yoda to be the only member of his species? That wouldn't make much sense, he has to come from somewhere. He's not a god.
John Castillo I think he means the last of his kind. It would be nice if he was just a member of a rare species. The long life of 900 years could relate to slow development in youth and low survivability of offspring. Yoda would still be impressive as a rare alien, he doesn't have to be extinct.
James Broad Yh I mean i'm guessing he is a rare species by the fact that we never see any of his kind in any films or tv series.
Yes you do. Yaddle is there in the films. It's even in the video.
When Yoda was created by Lucas he was meant to be some sort of mystical character. Maybe not God-like but somebody who nobody truly knows everything about. For me, I wouldn't want to know Yoda's full past and species because it takes away the mystical element about Yoda and I also feel like it would just be totally going against Lucas' original intentions for the character if Disney decided to go down that route with him. Not sure if you would agree?
carlosKH13 Yh I think it's best not to full blown show a planet full of little Yoda's lol. But I would really love to see a Yoda stand alone film, not about his origins but more about him as a young man becoming the greatest Jedi who ever lived, I wanna see a young version of Yoda being a total badass.
R5 is a Force sensitive droid, who sensed the future, and blew himself up. It's in the Star Wars Tales :P
EU material.
DarthAlphaTheGreat That's not the reason stupid it's cos he was made in China 🇨🇳 a cheap piece of shit!!!
That was not canon before the reboot
I love the Darth Plagueis novel and I think midichlorians kinda make sense.
Also in the Darth Plagueis novel, Plagueis impregnates multiple beings through dark side alchamey which all but confirms him as Anakin's father leading some to believe that Plagueis could have created Anakin either unkowingly or as an experiment.
Also in the Darth Plagueis novel, Plagueis impregnates multiple beings through dark side alchamey which all but confirms him as Anakin's father leading some to believe that Plagueis could have created Anakin either unkowingly or as an experiment.
Litshttam Midichlorians are also a perfect explanation as to how Rey has done such great feats of The Force without training.
I hope she's Palpatine's daughter or grandaughter. It's the most convincing and meaningful way for it to go (narrative-wise)
I agree. A scientific explanation is always better than some uncertain philosophy.
1:21 baby yoda: be careful not to choke on your aspirations e.c
James Luceno pretty much said in a panel that when it comes to the tiers of canon, Darth Plagueis is actually extremely high on the list
That was before Disney vaporized the EU.
JoeHooker11 No, I believe this was at SW celebration last year.
I thought you were talking about the book and not the character himself. He was actually one of the first characters talked about in the new canon.
JoeHooker11 I am talking about the book. Someone in a Q/A asked him what he thought about Disney's role in the canon, and he basically said that the Plagueis book is on a very high tier
He might want the book to be canon, but since it was printed prior to the buyout, the book automatically fails the test for canonicity under Disney.
what if Anakin was adopted?
oh god..
I really want to know Yoda's species. I never really cared before, but when the Mandalorian came out, I'm now dying to know.
I totally understand not wanting to know about how/why/where/who certain things happen or exist. It adds mystery and suspense for the audience. It also gives flavor to the world and a feeling of how big it COULD be.
Sadly, NOT having an explanation of any sort, can turn a potentially awesome secret.....into a MacGuffin. For those reading this comment that don't know what a MacGuffin is, let me explain.
It's a term in the film business used to label a person/place/time/event/object/technology/goal that has no plausible or properly acceptable explanation for its existence, and it conveniently exists solely to advance the plot of the story. If you were to remove the MacGuffin in XYZ story, it couldn't advance at all.
For example. A character needs to get through a door, but doesn't have the means to do it. A supporting character sudden unlocks the door and states they know how to pick locks because of some random bad date with some person from high school. And said lock picking ability wasn't hinted at earlier in the story, nor is it used again. Therefore, that character's ability to pick that lock is a MacGuffin because it conveniently showed up when the main character couldn't accomplish their goal.
Thank you so much for explaining what a macguffin is, I'm want to get into the film business and that was one of the things I knew by name but not what it really was.
Soldier4USA2005 Isnt that the same as a Deus Ex Machina?
Edward Mederos
Yes. It's the same. MacGuffin is just the film industry's nick name for it.
Jake The Snake
You're welcome.
My screenwriting degree is getting used for something.
As for getting into the business, take a myriad of classes. Writing, editing, lighting, set design, and so forth. When you're doing one job, you know what the other jobs expect. That way, you can make their jobs easier.
It helps me when writing a script. If I know how X thing is done on set, with regards to set design and so forth, I know how to write it so that X thing is more easily accomplished.
Soldier4USA2005 Ah ok thank you, :)
R5-D4’s malfunction is explained at this point in the book “From a Certain Point of view” and the true reason is similar to what you speculated
midichlorines have never bothered me because in real life scientists look to quantify and explain everything. why would they be any different
Exactly! Even if the Force is a mystery it still clearly has very tangible effects. There's no way such advanced societies would just write it off as magic and never try to break down or quantify it's presence in people. And the expansion on this in the Clone Wars actually makes it fit pretty perfectly. The system they've developed around midi-chlorians is simply the best system they have thus far for trying to translate a seemingly unknowable concept into something workable and tangible for the sentient mind. That doesn't mean they actually understand it fully or the mystery has disappeared.
Walrusberg just like how some scientists studying the galaxy are trying to find proof of a heaven somewhere out there. I never understood the hate
Something people dont understand about midichlorians is that they do not cause one to be strong in the Force, but they are attracted by it. Anakin was strong in the Force so a lot of Midichlorians were found in him
Except that Star Wars is Sci-Fantasy, science CAN'T explain everything in that kind of universe. Not to mention that midichlorians are NOT the source of the force, but are simply parasites attracted to force users due to it giving them a higher chance of survival.
it would be better if midichlorians were more a side effect of the force rather than something that causes it, like the stronger with the force you are the more midichlorians are in your system, they flock to stronger force users but they dont give a force user their power
In Early Versions, like the Comics, Novel etc. R2-D2 Sabotaged "the Red One" After Owen said he'd take "that one". There was some conversation as Payment was passed, and R2 fiddled with some tool. It made it that the Droids made their Own Luck, rather than got Lucky. Unfortunately, I seem to remember it being IN the 1977 version, but can't Prove it.
how would plaugis not be canon? did palpatin just get his powers out of no where? of course he's cannon!
What he means is the detailed circumstances of that story are no longer canon. The character still existed, but we know nothing about him. Further, Plagius (as a character) could have been a metaphor or trick that Palpatine was using to cover up the truth of the Sith lineage.
I haven't read the book but why do they no longer consider it canon? I thought the book was to explain what wasn't explained In the movie. As far as I'm concerned what Palpatine was trying to tell Anakin was that he was created by Darth Plagius without telling him he was.
rick valentino Disney decanonized the entire EU and turned it into Legends. The reason is because there was too much content that was made. People who shouldn't have had that power were tying the hands of future creators, and do to the volume it meant walking on egg shells.
A great example of this is the entire New Jedi Order era. We wouldn't have had Force Awakens if that was still canon, as there was so much material that it prevented new stories like Force Awakens.
You didn't understand his point. His point was not that Sidious wouldn't have a master but that this specific story might be made up, at least in parts. Therefore you could argue that Sidious indeed had Plageius as his master but he or Sidious himself wouldn't have to the power to bring back the dead which was one key point Sidious used to seduce Anakin to the dark side. If Sidious would've just played with this it would be a very nice thing for his character as it shows how sinister he is.
Scooter Campbell I can see the point of them making things after Jedi no longer canon to create Force Awakens, But Papatine's back story with his master is before the prequels, I can't see the story affecting anything at this point unless they decided to go back and make something with Palpatine when he was younger. At that point they may want to change the whole story. Then it would tamper with what was established in the prequels unless Palpatine was just lying to Anakin.
no, the nature of the force isn't explained by midiclorians, just like the nature of consciousness isnt explained by neurons. im sick and tired by how stupid people are. midiclorians are just the material correlates of the force, just like dopamine is the material correlate of love. but it doesn't explain the subjective experience of love. neurons don't explain consciousness, or Qualia, either, they just suggest there's a relation between neurons and consciousness. star wars fans should read a little bit about neuroscience and philosophy of mind, they'll see there's no problem with midiclorians, the force is still a mystical energy. when you think about it, the concept of midiclorians is actually brilliant. it's the fans that are stupid
Iván M.R. 100% agree. Can't stand stupid Star Wars fans hating midichlorians for no reason.
Iván M.R. This was a perfect explanation thank you
Iván M.R. Well if you have been paying attention whatever shit was explained in the EU Disney said fuck THAT and got rid of it.
RocketSauce28 i never said anything about the EU. i explained why the concept of midiclorians makes sense given the nature of what it points to, and compared it to "inmaterial" experiences we have like consciousness and love, and how those also have material correlates, just like the force has it on midiclorians. so you are the one who's not paying attention lol. that's not an explanation of the EU. that's my explanation when thinking clearly about it, based on neuroscience and philosophy of mind.
Yes but there is a reason that Star Wars is labeled as Science FANTASY and not science fiction. Midichlorians are a bullshit thing that George Lucas wanted to explain the force with, and failed miserably.
Another one I would like to see unanswered is Rey's origin. While it's a big part of who she is, telling us would be a blunder to the message Maz (don't know if I spelled that correctly) told her. That she shouldn't go looking for the family that left her behind and instead focus on the ones she has.
+Huy Bii I feel a very similar sentiment! I think it's much cooler if she really is "nobody" who rises to greatness on her own with no important family members adding retroactive gravitas.
But I think this is a question Star Wars will answer in the future.
Cool idea indeed, but sadly da People would hate not knowing.
EC Henry I hate how she was able to fight and beat Kylo Ren without any training, when Ren had been trained, came from a strong line of force beings and had accessed the power of the Dark Side, it makes no sense that she'd be good enough to last 10 seconds against him
Huy Bii it's been confirmed she is a skywalker
Jaclyn Overgaauw when and by who?
Why do people hate the concept of midi-chlorians so much?
For the same they would not like it if Saruman the White would be revealed to be a mutant.
Ethan Wagner I think they are a good thing to be honest because people will always look for an explanation to things, people rarely accept "a wizard did it" and midi-chlorians show that's what happened here. "Force sensitive people seem to have more of these in their blood or body that must be the answer"
Scott Lucas That is not what "a wizard did it means". The term gets used to describe a weak explanation to plug up plotholes, it does not necessarily need to involve wizards. You could substitute "mediclorians did it" and it would still mean the same thing.
The thing is, the mediclorian explanation makes less sense then saying the Jedi are space wizards.
Because midi-chlorians, as first explained, tie force power to a fixed number (that is supposed to not change from birth till death), and ultimately don't answer the question that they proposed to answer: what is the force, its properties and origin, exactly? Midi-chlorians are just changing the question from "why does someone connect to the force?" to "why do midi-chlorians connect to the force?", they don't answer anything at all.
However, the fixed number part is the one that puts the nail in the coffin, it kills the concept of an ancient art that you have to train hard to get good at. Basically a dedicated guy that has no midi-chlorians will never be a jedi, while an ass like Anakin doesn't need to be as dedicated to get to a good level. This may not seem like much, but that logic is also forcing you to accept that Anakin is ultimately more powerful than Yoda, even though the latter has trained in the ways of the force for more than 800 years.
It creates, in essence, fixed (and lazy) power charts, which is why people from SW themselves had to come with all sorts of bubblegum fixes for it (like "Anakin has more midi-chlorians but is not as in touch with them", "midi-chlorians are just full potential, characters aren't necessarily using all of their midi-chlorians", etc., why say there's a number that dictates your power if then you're just going to introduce some excuse to not let that number work in the first place? Just say someone has natural talent and avoid all of that).
They could've (and should've) went with the best scientific answer: we don't know.
kabzebrowski This. 👍
I actually want Yoda to be revealed as a Whill.
The Wild Steampunk *willy
I'm just kidding
So that would make him the Whill of the force?
AquaBlast aye!
Or a gelfling from the dark crystal :p
Yoda is the only one of his species. All others that we see are actually just apparitions Yoda creates like Luke did in ep 8.
The thing about Mediclorians is that the watcher had accepted the Jedi are wizards a long time ago. The very first line in the entire franchise explains that Star Wars is a fairy tale.
Saying that Count Dooku gets his powers from germs is like saying Saruman the White is actually a mutant.
The immaculate conception bothered me ever since I saw The Phantom Menace. If anything, they NEED to answer that. I like the idea that Shmi knows more than what she's letting on.
It is too close to Christian savior mythos to be comfortable for me. I would prefer if it was even partially answered to steer it away from any Christian dogma and keep it more consistent with the rest of the Star Wars Universe
2:46, R5 is explained. R5 units were notorious for malfunctioning and falling apart. They were a flop in Industrial Automota's line. Their only advantage was they were dirt cheap.
Midiclorans are just how one connects to the Force. So it was never big deal to me. Because the mystery of the Force and exactly what it is. Is still a question.
Yeah. And because of that i hate when people say that the sequels somehow changed how tge force works. Like we don't know anything about how it worjs so people saying that the sequels somehow broke how it works is ridiculous
here are my thoughts on midichlorians - as I was first watching Phantom Menace, I surmised that the mysterious birth of Annakin with respect to his high midi count was due to "someone's" attempt to create a Super Sith Lord through advanced cloning techniques mixed with gene splicing. This would have led us to a very different kind of Clone War, where the Jedi would have to fight an army of Super Sith Lord clones. I've often wondered if that might have been the plan until everyone shit a brick about midiclorians and they changed their minds...
Why don't you want to know the answers to these questions?! Sure the mystery is great but really unanswered questions are no fun when they stay unanswered for so long.
It's fun to speculate about new movies, new seasons of cool shows but not about facts in movies which are thirty god damn years old and still have active communities. I'm just saying speculating about the same things get's boring pretty quickly.
Blank No! Bad opinion!
Okay, I guess I have to admit that the midichlorian's are bullshit as is Boba Fett's face reveal.
Blank midichlorians are awesome u guys all suck
"Why don't you want to know the answers to these questions?!"
Because Star Wars isn't Star Trek
"Sure the mystery is great"
Exactly!
stuartbeattie12 How old are you?
I think Shmi used Sith alchemy to create her child and engineered her own death to turn him to the dark side.... jk
Shmi should have her own Novel.
Naw she just used to travel to Mos Eisely, get drunk and sleep around every Saturday night. She just doesn't want to admit she doesn't know who his father is so she makes up the story that he doesn't have one. That or he went back in time and is his own father. Not sure which. :)
Chris McWilliams It's most likely a Short Story in a Star Wars Magazine.
Conrado Javier Oh probably and Disney probably disavowed it so they can squeeze out yet another spin off movie.
Chris McWilliams They wanted a Little Girl to play Young Shmi in the phase 2 plan.
Frank Oz in an interview stated one fact about Yoda, he is the love child of Ms. Piggy and Kermit the Frog. LMAO when I heard this. (totally forgot that Oz voiced Ms. Piggy)
The energy flowing through the death star 2 when the emperor falls to his death is his force lightning. Who doesn't know that...
Leonard Varga many people because its not explained what it is at all nore is it completly obvious that it is force lightning
His force lightning?! WTF are you talking about?? It's pretty obvious it more than just force lightning.
afpj09 his force lighting was the most powerful force lightning known in the history of Sith. So yeah, it can do that
Darth Vader Thank you^
Darth Vader too bad its never explained in any of the movies. So hows anyone supposed to figure that out?
I've always found that Palpatine scene referenced in 4 and 5 fascinating. I've got my own interpretation, but it's by no means the only one.
Of all the theories about Rey's parents the one I like the most is the idea of her being Anakin's reincarnation and the idea that the 'Chosen One' isn't some one time deal but someone that has appeared time and time again through out history, but that they sometimes fail and fall to the dark side. It's the closest idea I can think off that explains Anakin's origins, but doesn't de-mystify it.
+Sol Zen that's a really cool idea! Never thought of that.
It also makes Rey's unnatural talent with the force make sense. I've never seen a Jedi get that good so quick.
There is also that. Not even Luke picked up the force that quick.
Sol Zen yo
its not bad idie to join dark side and Anakin did bring balance to the force
well i hate to burst yur bubble but if you listen to the radio broadcast of episode iv from the late 90s, r2d2 does infact sabatage r5d4. so....
Luc Alberts, where to find them?
In "A Certain Point of View" R5-D4 sacrificed itself because it "Had a vague history with the Rebellion"
Yup
Plagueis should be cannon again or at least Disney make their own version of Plagueis.
AstralGaming99 He is canon.
Matt Murdock I know the character is still canon but im talking about the book
Every book by Luceno should be canon.
AstralGaming99
AstralGaming99 Snoke could possibly be Disneys take on Plaguise.
So since the making of this list.
- R5 lives!
- Grogu is a new member of Yoda's species!
- Palpatine Lives! So maybe it was his dark soul escaping.
-
Or the Legends explanation. You know, where R5 was a force sensitive droid who played space basketball in Jabba's palace and nobly sacrificed himself after a force vision saying that R2 has to be picked to save the galaxy. You know, logical stuff.
Personally, I would like to see Darth Plagueis in some Canon Material. Since he's one of the most powerful Sith Lords to ever live, I think it would just be wasted potential if we never saw him, he could also be a great villian in a pre-TPM story. Even in Legends, I don't think he ever appeared as the antagonist in anything.
No, in Legends he was the protagonist in his story, trying to reorder the galaxy which had "lost it's way". I am hoping he makes an appearance in Rebels at least, even if it's only a mention, to give him more concrete evidence of his existence, as we only have two Sith outside of the movie Sith we have any confirmation on, Bane and the Sith of the Holocron.
He could appear as a Holocron or maybe Maul could mentoin him. I doubt a Ghost is likely.
Audial Architect Darth Plagueis was mentioned in the Canon novel "Tarkin".
Obviously there's the whole Snoke = Plagueis theory too.
plaguies is cannon because sidious mentioned that him and his master plaguies found a dark side relic under the jedi temple; in the tarkin novel
Samuel Hardoin strong
I know you said only dealing with canon, but with R5-D4, it used to be canon that he was a force sensitive robot, and knew that it was important for him to malfunction
Yeah. I remember reading a comic exactly about that years back.
That was literally the dumbest thing ever.
Jamin Dent Yes. It was also my favorite part of canon.
+Styrac Skippy the Jedi Droid? That wasn't actually canon, even back when Legends was still the EU :p
Yeah, that comic was just about as canon as the one where the falcon crash lands on earth and chewbacca becomes big foot after han dies...
@R5-D4
In the old Expanded Universe, R5-D4 was force-sensitive droid who sensed Luke will take down Empire so he self-destructed himself to set off the chain of events that would lead to Rebel victory.
I couldn't make that up if I tried.
I've always wondered why could only Han Solo understand what Chewy was saying
Well, in "Shadows of the Empire," Lando can also understand him.
Yoda also understands Wookies in ROTS
Michael Corleone Rey understands him too
Groot "I am Groot"
Hodor "HODOR"
Chewy "AAAARGHHH!!"
Michael Corleone I guess some people are born with the skill to learn other languages,they are probably taught other common languages at a young age.
I agree that the force should remain a mystery and that Anikan's birth should never be explained, but I actually want to know what Yoda's species is and... why do people debate about that droid malfunctioning? These people are giving it a lot more thought than the writers did, I assure them.
Geno Stellar Yoda is of the Yoda species from the planet Yoda where all the young Yodas drink from the Yoda fountains down by the Yoda.
Jacobm2002 OF COURSE! It all makes sense!
Geno Stellar oh I forgot to inform you that Yoda's mom is called, bill
Jacobm2002 Ah, yes. That explains Dagobah.
Geno Stellar glad we cleared that up
We don't know what Boba Fett's face looks like. Boba was an unaltered clone for Jango to raise. This is still cannon, so he wouldn't look exactly like Jango, at most he'd just have a similar look, that doesn't mean he looks exactly like him. It's like you might have a similar look to your father or mother, but you don't look exactly like them, same applies to Boba. The process wasn't altered for him as Jango wanted to raise him as a son.
Exactly. He'd probably look even more different than he would have originally.
Jango wanted one that was an unaltered clone, and raised that one as his son. That's Boba. So at best, Boba would only have a similar look to Jango and not look exactly like his dad as he wasn't just a straight up clone.
When it comes to Midichlorians, there is a simpler answer.
Midichlorians are of a larger quantity in a person who is force sensitive, and the more trained they are, the more they appear in tests. They're sort of like an extra beneficial organism in the blood (sort of like how our guts have different helpful bacteria that help us break down foods). It would explain why Anakin's MC count was off the charts for his age. He's been swimming in the force and using it reflexively for years (as a kid!) and was a natural at it. It would also explain the health issues Sith develop as they push the force harder than their MCs can take, damaging them. So it would cause the mutations and damage we see in darksiders the more powerful they get. It burns them out like a candle and the MCs are the first to get damaged.
The dark side is toxic. While Jedi with their conservative use of the Force, don't stress their MCs and end up aging gracefully (they even live a little longer pre-empire) allowing for a benefit for walking the straight and narrow. Someone following the philosophy of the Bendu though? That is the real cracklin' power, where intent shapes the force and it's true nature comes to life. You can do powerful things without damaging yourself as long as you obey the will of the force while acting in accordance with yourself and others.
As for R5? It was Jawa shenanigans. They wanted to foist off a scam by handing off a lemon Droid.
In the comics, R5-D4 was a force sensitive droid ☹️
that was part fo Star Wars Tales, which, just like Infinities, was not canon even on the old legends canon. So we are good.
Thank God!!!
I wonder if Darth Plageius is going to be the villain in the new films... if you listen to the music in that scene, and the Snoke theme, they sound incredibly similar. And only a pretty high-ranking Sith would have been able to train Kylo Ren- and have such a grasp of the force. After Palpatine and Vader, there was never any evidence of a Sith coming after Vader- as that was Luke's place but it never materialised
If only
@@davincent98 lol
Oh, you sweet innocent child. Jokes aside, that would have been so much better than what we got.
a. Why does everyone hate midichlorians? They're how beings connect with the Force and are a fundamental part of Star Wars. It would be like complaining that lightsabers are powered by crystals. b. I actually think Darth Plagueis is something that should be explored, but that's just me.
I thought canon on Rd and Rd was that Rd discussed his mission with Rd and then Rd faked his malfunction so as to not split up Rd and C3PO.
+Chris K That's a very rational and believable explanation. Requires no other factors to make sense.
no
I always thought he malfunctioned as a way of showing us that jawas are like sleazy used car salesmen.
I haven't read the book yet, but I think the first new canon book "Tarkin" did reference and therefore canonize at least some elements of "Darth Plagueis". I'm not sure what or if it happened at all but j did hear that somewhere.
He was mentioned in Tarkin. They canonized the search for immortality, and his belief that the Force would lash back at his attempts to subvert the Force.
R5-D4 was a force sensitive droid who knew Artoo had special information, so he sacrificed himself because with the force, he felt Ben's presence, and knew Artoo and Threepio would get to Ben somehow.
Sorry for spoiling a question you didn't want answered.
That's infinities, he's talking about canon.
That is canon.
Boom
Achilles Johnson , No it isn't. Which sense would it make to make such a story canon.
10 bucks Darth Plagueis is Anikin's father. 1000000000000% could be real
Garrett Gilliom it's obvious
Luke is obviously his father
Garrett Gilliom In the novel he is. Or at least he created him. Not sure if Disney wants to make this canon or not
Shimi was a slave. Maybe she once belonged to Darth Plagueis.
Yet, I love to think the Force reacted to Plagueis' experiments and created Anakin on its own. Or maybe Plagueis knew that the prophecy would soon come true and made an attempt to create the prophecy on his own.
"Yoda's species." *Baby Yoda face*
The Nature of the force HAS been explained in Cannon.
there are 2, 3 episode story arcs in Star Wars Clone Wars ( season 3 and season 6) that go into it.
That's precisely what I meant when I said the Clone Wars back-pedaled on the "scientific" side of the Force.
By giving us more, they kinda gave us less. We know that life creates the "living Force" which in turn feeds the "cosmic Force", but we still don't really know what these things are or how they work.
EC Henry Regardless, midichlorians don't explain a lot about the force. don't know why you dislike them.
I just want to know who Snoke is
he's snoke.
Michael Kinley mace windu. Look it up lol
Bradon 禁 Snoke's identity hasn't been confirmed
Why does everyone assume Snoke is anyone else? (I know he probably is) But why can't we just say ya that's Snoke we'll get some more of his back story later...
It's the inquisitor. Not mace windu, his hand was cut off
r5 was a force sensitive droid that escaped jaba's palace, got himself captured by jawas, and then overloaded his capacitor or whatever to ensure r2 got to Luke.
WolffangLightwood not canon
I agree. The mystery is why I love Star Wars.
'Where humans came from' is a good one too
Legends already gave us an answer to that and I don't think canon will change the planet of origin.
I'm still calling BS on the "humans are from Coruscant" theory. It makes no sense, given how all other species are more-or-less "centered" at their home planet, yet humans seem to be spread everywhere, with most having no idea about their species' home world.
In Legends at least.
RavenFal In Star Wars, its the "accepted" theory of where humans came from,
ASAPVENENO
I still don't buy it.
Wait a minute. A short puppet with green skin and a funny voice? Yoda evolved from Kermit the frog!
- questions that shouldn't be answered
- answers all questions
I like how J.R.R. Tolkien handled revealing answers to mysteries of his Middle Earth stories and I think that is the best way to handle such things. Every time he would reveal an answer or part of an akswer to what was previously a mystery, he would always create more mysteries to be discovered in the process to maintain the sense of mystery. it's like the idea of the rabbit hole. The further down the rabbit hole you go, the more you learn, the more questions you discover.
we know why r5d4 malfunctioned, he gave up his life because he used force vison and saw that r2d2 would save the galaxy and yes r5d4 is force sensitive
Han Solo It's no longer cannon.
That was never canon to begin with
AkasunaNoSasori1995
It was fun though, even so.
what the hell are you talking about Plagueis is still part of Cannon.
There was a book written about Plagueis, but it is not cannon anymore. So Plagueis is still cannon because of the movies.
The book isn't canon, but *a* book by the same author features a POV scene of the Emperor remembering Plagueis. So the dude's whole "Do we even know if Plagueis was real?" bit has a definitive answer.
I think Lucas actually agreed with you on the Anakin conception, and for that reason decided not to have Palpatine spill the beans about Plagueis.
But I still think Plagueis is Anakin's father.
Luke:You killed my grandfather!
Sidious: No, I, um, OK yes I did kill your grandfather.
2:13 in the short story "The Red One" from the canon novel "From a Certain Point of View" it confirms that R2 told R5 about his mission to help the rebellion and that R5 sacrificed himself so that R2 could succeed in his mission. R2 initially tried to sabotage R5 but got caught and had to plead with R5 to help.
Maybe R5 was just a broken droid.
Another one of Yoda's Race can be seen as a Jedi Admiral in Star Wars the Old Republic.
There's also Master Vandar in KotOR but neither of those two games is canon, if I'm not mistaken.
Derp Wayne Old Republic is NOT Expanded Universe. It is its own thing. Thus it is still Cannon. Also The Force Unleashed is in what I call 'Limbo'.
The Americans Gameing Old Republic hasn't be stated as cannon
The WerewolfF it is still not EU. How about we say that it is part of a corrupted file that managed to survive order 66.
The Americans Gameing I always thought that Yodas race is nearly extinct and could have been found on Dagobah
Emperor Palpatine does use the technique to save someone from death in Revenge of the Jedi.
What Palpatine didn't tell Anakin is that the technique requires sacrificing a life to save the target. It would seem the technique may require someone the target has a deep connection with as well.
You see, in the final scenes of the movie, Palpatine finds Anakin in terrible shape on the verge of death. In the middle of the procedure to make him Darth Vader, palpatine must have linked Padme's life force to him so he would survive the brutal surgery and have fuel for his hate. This explains why there was no medical explanation for her fading.
At the end of the scene, the sound director had both of Anakin and Padme's heart beat monitors sync up and then stop in tandem when the mask gets put on him. His heart starts up again once he starts breathing.
Directly after waking up, palpatine knows she's dead even though she JUST died. How would he know unless he did it by linking her life to save his?
When i watched A New Hope,what i sensed was that R5 broke down because that was the will of the force.
The Droid has the force and he sacrificed himself to let R2 get picked
That was only in Infinities (alternative universe comics)
Sith Magister no he wasn't. That isn't canon in legends OR Disney cannon
in the script for "A New Hope" as well as the BBC radio drama adaption R2 does sabotage R5
What's weird is I have never heard the radio drama, but some how speculated that R2 could have sabotaged him. It makes sense, considering he was on that mission to get to Obi Wan. And R2 is pretty clever
Disney canonized this in their characters book.
Joshua Knode how does R2 sabotage him though??
R5 was force sensitive and sensed he needed to malfunction
Yoda 9111 no
1.What will the 25th sequel to "Star Wars" be like, now that the only ones defending the Republic are the Ewoks?
2. Who knew that R2-D2 was behind it all?
3.Is Luke's sixth cousin four times removed on his Mother's side a Force-Sensitive?
4.What did Han Solo's last will really say? (and can we still keep the movie PG?)
5. Will the residuals last longer than Yoda?
I've never been able to buy into this concept of not knowing. I want to understand the nature of the force, I want to know yoda's species, I want to understand the lore. A clever writer doesn't deny the consumer answers, they craft more questions to follow the answers given. Tolkien did this wonderfully. For every answer he gave, he gave 3 more questions.
The real question is jar jar binks a Sith Lord
true
The EU is as much as a part of me as Star Wars Canon is itself. For me, knowing more only increases my enjoyment of the series and its broad history.
Plot twist: What if Darth Sidious was actually Anakin Skywalker's father.
Before Palpatine became Sidious, he visited a small backwater planet in the outer rim called Tatooine. While there, he met a junk dealer named Watto who had just bought a slave woman.
Deals were made and somehow Palpatine managed to talk Watto into letting him get into bed with his slave. After the deed was done, Watto was able to have a slave child born into his possession without having to buy another, and Palpatine went on his merry little Sith way without a care about the slave woman. That woman was Shmi Skywalker.
lmao this guy needs to write for starwars, (his merry little sith way) epicness was just created x)
For the R-5 question look up 'Skippy the Jedi Droid' and you'll know the entire, funny and even noble story. IT's from a older comic so no longer cannon though.
The buttons on Vader's suit regulate some of his medical systems. One we know does something with his oxygen feed. The buttons where labeled in one of the older SW picture encyclopedias and it's been re-enforced by other sources since.
I guess this guy has not been watching any of Rebels when he wants them to not unmistify the Force. They are not only trying to make it clearer but also more confusing.
How do hutts have sex?
KevC , they encircle each other and sperm is exchanged through their protruded slimy genitalia. A few days later the female hutt lays the fertilized egg/eggs.
Jesus fucking christ I wasn't expecting an in depth answer.. Now I wish I didn't know the answer to it.
Igor Ivanov how the fuck do you know that?
"What cased R2-D4 to malfunction?" Plot contrivance.
Correction: the Force. So, what you said, but Watsonian.
- Revan's identity, including their gender, Jedi class, final alignment, fate, and why they did what they did. Revan is a great big mystery and I love it. Every time someone tries to canonize them a certain way my soul dies a bit. Let them be unknown.
- You touched on the nature of the Force, and an aspect of that which I want to be a mystery is the moral nature and light/dark dicotomy. Is the dark side real? If so, what does that mean? Is there a light side? Is Ashla an entity or just a Force of nature? Is it inherently good, evil, or neutral? Does it want order or chaos? Are it's motivations the same or shifting over time? Does it have a will, or is it just a force that bends to the will of sentient beings?
what are some questions that you would like an answer for in the star wars lore ?
How do hutts have intercourse
Fartsparkle Master they are hermaphrodites.
Dawson Ringkob Not anymore. It was retconned.
DARTH VADER'S DICK
What question is there on the R5 unit. R2 sabotaged it. That was in the original release. And it makes prefect sense. R2 needed to be free and was fairly close to where he needed to be. This was his best chance. As for Anikin's father? The pre-quels screwed that up like they did so many things. There was no reason for there to be a mystery about it. There was no need for mystical birth. It only made the movies worse. Yoda's species? Who. Cares? Are you saying his species has to be some sort of magical species? That humans could never be as strong or worthy of that species? The explosion that came up after the Emperor is cast down the shaft. Who's asking for an answer? The only question is why everyone things that goes down to the reactor chamber? Exactly how stupid do you think those constructing the base are? A direct link between the surface (remember, there is only a window in that room between the shaft and space) and the reactor core? No, that would just be a shaft with some laser field to zap anything that fell into it.
I have to agree with you on those points, especially with Yoda's species, it's kind of an irrelevant thing. The only reason people would care, is because of Yoda but there are a ton of species for characters both secondary, background and even the occasional main character that are unknown...because naming the species literally adds nothing.
Just name his Species after the Late Jim Henson, since Yoda look like a Realstic Hermit, & is voiced by a fellow Muppetier, & Save that Species' Backstory for a Spin-off Movie.
PelenTan
I hate you.
NightBot Ban I love you Anakin
Clearly those dirty jawas swapped motivator parts between R5 and R2 ... hoping to sell the bad failing druid to some random dumb farmer and sell the good fixed up droid to Jabba. And fully agreed about the "immaculate conception" thing. It added no value to the character, the movie, or the franchise ... easier explained as a badly-written over-the-top Mary Sue moment ... and as a mother too promiscuous, too embarrassed, too superstitious, or too confused to know or admit the truth.
IIRC it was established that Jawas often bodge together droid repairs for sale to unsuspecting customers, that last just long enough for the sandcrawler to leave before failing like that.
Anakin's biological father used his force powers to erase Shmi's memories of him and the night they had sex. That's why she thinks there was no father.
For me yodas species is called Yoda :D
Yodias, to match the "Y" gimmick namesakes.
Litshttam Naming Yoda after his Species is as Lazy is Mystery of Homer J. Simpson's Middle Name.
Litshttam My Bad.
***** it contradicts the "Y" Gimmick.
So he is like the Q from star Trek. everyone of the species has the same name.
