The smartest dumbass in the Galaxy, Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, and somehow the man who married Senator Padmé Naberrie Amidala of Naboo. This universe is rather unnatural
Well, as stated in the Tragedy of Darth Plageuis the Wise, unnatural powers are a plausible side effect-if not direct byproduct-of studying the dark side of the force. 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.
Anakin being smart enough to figure out Palpatine is the Sith Lord through Thesis logic but not picking up on the obvious hints Palpatine was telling him is really lore-accurate for Anakin honestly.

Knowing how palpatineis the only one whose trying to follow the script here, I wouldn’t be surprised if the engagement is actually real, probably both bonded over being nerds shoved into containers.
Lol, 1:16 "The value of my thesis !" Lol. Although I wouldn't laughing if I had not heard his thesis in another video. I feel like I understand an inside joke now.
If Palpatine rules the galaxy like he plans to, then he’ll control all the publishers in the galaxy, enabling him to see to it that Anakin’s thesis is published as he dreams. That’s all the temptation he needs to bring Anakin under his control.
And that is how we discover that Palpatine didn't originally want to create the Empire, he just wanted to get a talented apprentice. But taking power and slaughtering all the jedi was the only way to convince the publishers to accept his thesis. After this, Palpatine had to live with his life choices, which he painfully regretted, until his death. And he had to buy a bigger fridge.
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.
@@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.
Palpatine: *Execute Order 66* Clonetroopers proceed to gather all the Jedi into to a lecture-room, where Anakin is about to give an extended 4 hour long version of his thesis.
I like the idea that in this alternate timeline Anakin figured it out pretty quick, called him out, and now Palpatine is gonna be forced to become his therapist from prison to avoid his execution.
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.

At this point the canon reason why Palpatine never fixes Vader’s respirator is going to be to stop him from spending 2 hours talking at length about his thesis.
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.
I love that I picture this Anakin as the one in Lego Star Wars Skywalker saga lmao. I love the way you write it, so smart yet incredibly childish/innocent/naive
The mistake that Anakin made when he was writing his master's thesis is that he made a mistake in the statistical analysis by taking a very small sample of users of the dark side of the force (Only Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul and Count Dooku), this has not been forgotten by Yoda (Who is always high in Coke) and Windu (Who consider Anakin as a little b/+(h ) and that is why they have not granted him the position of master of the Jedi council.

@@deiansalazar140 Intelligence is the rate at which you learn. That's irrespective of what you learn. That you learn, you can tell by your ability to make correct predictions. Wisdom does not help making predictions at all.
Each time Anakin says the word "dichotomy" I can't help but laugh. This whole thesis is a stroke of genius.
I’m pretty sure a “stroke of genius” is why Anakin is this way
If Anakin's thesis is 2 hours long imagine what his Doctorate dissertation would be like. The Dichotomy of the Chosen One: What is a Balanced Force?
Return of the 'interesting side tangent'
@@loveroffunnyy Windu and co walk into Palpatine’s office: “We know you’re the Sith Lord we’ve been looking for”
Palpatine: “Are you here to kill me?”
Windu: “We know what you did to Anakin! You created that thesis didn’t you?”
Palpatine: “Force no I’m evil but not that evil. That document must be destroyed.”
Windu puts down his lightsaber: “we’re listening”
In this version Anakin snitches on Palpatine because if he has to choose between saving Padme and proving his thesis is correct, he can't resist the latter
Knowing how palpatineis the only one whose trying to follow the script here, I wouldn’t be surprised if the engagement is actually real, probably both bonded over being nerds shoved into containers.
This is what Obi-Wan was doing in his philosophy classes, either that or he was trying to be a better friend to Anakin
This is unironically the most invested I've been in a Star Wars storyline for at least a decade.
Lol, 1:16 "The value of my thesis !" Lol. Although I wouldn't laughing if I had not heard his thesis in another video. I feel like I understand an inside joke now.
I wouldn't have thought I'd love an AI text to speech channel this much but the writing is just too good. All your videos are comedic gold.
Overly enthusiastic PhD candidate Anakin will forever be canon in my heart.
"For now, I am going to tell on you"
If Palpatine rules the galaxy like he plans to, then he’ll control all the publishers in the galaxy, enabling him to see to it that Anakin’s thesis is published as he dreams. That’s all the temptation he needs to bring Anakin under his control.
And that is how we discover that Palpatine didn't originally want to create the Empire, he just wanted to get a talented apprentice. But taking power and slaughtering all the jedi was the only way to convince the publishers to accept his thesis. After this, Palpatine had to live with his life choices, which he painfully regretted, until his death. And he had to buy a bigger fridge.
I don't think that is a price old man Palps would be willing to pay.

Sooner or later we're gonna get Luke having to sit through that thesis. Or maybe he'll have one of his own...
Luke's thesis saves vader from the darkside, either by Anakin being a proud father or by feeling the same annoyance the council did.
We'll see if Luke can defend his fledgling thesis, when faced with the _power of Academic Peer Review._
The return of the jedi thesis
@@BimpytheWimpyShrimpy The Darkest manifestation of evil I've yet encountered.
Anakin is going to try to tell on Palpatine, but since he has to bring up his thesis to do so, no one will listen.
I love the idea that palpatine is disappointed in his decision to have Anakin kill Dooku and is now stuck with Anakin to become his apprentice.
@2:57
"I know you would. I can feel your... drive to talk about your thesis... wait, that's not right"
😅
I love how they have a rule how many drawings Anakin may gift Palpatine per week.
The Rule of One Per Week.
Anakin didnt want lightning fingies so he chose chokey fingies
Of course he's going to tell, this proves his theory right.
Anakin seems to have a lot more deductive reasoning than the other timeline.
Palpatine doesn't even bother correcting him. He just decided to humor him.
The word dichotomy will haunt my dreams
we need the 2 hour long unabridged Anakin's thesis
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.
@@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.
I do love the "dichotomy" of Anakin's perceptiveness and ignorance of the situations he keeps finding himself in.
Anakin is the strangest mix of genius and moron with a pinch of insane madman. It's awesome.
God I love that it all circles back to the thesis
Palpatine: *Execute Order 66*
Clonetroopers proceed to gather all the Jedi into to a lecture-room, where Anakin is about to give an extended 4 hour long version of his thesis.
I like the idea that in this alternate timeline Anakin figured it out pretty quick, called him out, and now Palpatine is gonna be forced to become his therapist from prison to avoid his execution.
Knowing the council that would be a fate worse then death.
2:23 I’m so freaking happy for Ani, he finally got his theory proven right about the Sith Apprentice
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.
"uncertainly master Kenobi (not an absolute)"
I'm glad Anakin has been paying attention
I now imagine the "I am your father" scene as Vader telling Luke about his thesis.
Vader is Luke's true mentor, Kenobi plaguarised Vader's thesis.
@@davidwuhrer6704
-Obi-Wan didn't tell you all about the Darth Plagueis thesis
+He told me enough. He told me it was his life's work.
-No, I WROTE THAT THESIS
*empire march intensifies*
(the dialogue might not match the original because I have only watched the films in spanish)
@@Hika571Yeah, it was pretty accurate
Original dialogue, English
“Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father”
“He told me enough. He told me you killed him”
“No, I am your father”
The final confrontation of Luke, Vader and Palpatine is just going to be Vader finally describing his entire thesis
"I'll put it on my fridge with the others"
At this point the canon reason why Palpatine never fixes Vader’s respirator is going to be to stop him from spending 2 hours talking at length about his thesis.
Teasing an unabridged, 2-hour delivery of anakins thesis without delivering is a true sith-level of evil
1:21 "The value of my thesis"
Palpantine is having some serious PTSD in that silence
I love how his thesis is eternally canon
"But Dooku passed away -"
" - you killed him - "
" - Now I'm all alone."
XD
This is the most wonderful ongoing head-cannon of Anakin I could of imagined, please keep making these
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.
He's a literature major, not an art student.
one could say it's the dichotomy of academia vs the arts...
I love that I picture this Anakin as the one in Lego Star Wars Skywalker saga lmao. I love the way you write it, so smart yet incredibly childish/innocent/naive
The mistake that Anakin made when he was writing his master's thesis is that he made a mistake in the statistical analysis by taking a very small sample of users of the dark side of the force (Only Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul and Count Dooku), this has not been forgotten by Yoda (Who is always high in Coke) and Windu (Who consider Anakin as a little b/+(h ) and that is why they have not granted him the position of master of the Jedi council.
I shall now exclusively refer to force lightning as "lightning fingies" xD
I'm getting the impression that Palpatine isn't really evil, he's just a sane person having to deal with Jedi's shenanigans
I never imagined this would turn into an entire narratively cohesive saga but I'm glad it did.
"I'm going to tell on you." "What!?"
god i hope the thesis bit never stops...its where the fun began, really
Maybe Anaki's I hate sand speech is a prelude to a thesis. Maybe the Tusken Raiders died because Anakin went into lecture mode.
"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]"
"Stop sounding like you swallowed a thesaurus"
"Lightning fingies"
"It's really all or nothing with you, isn't it?"
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!
@@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.
@@jetstreampaul5029 Indeed. His thesis includes more references than even Master Yoda's.
“I would very much like to… but for now I’m gonna tell on you”
This is literally the best Star Wars bit I have ever seen. I am very invested in Anakin's thesis.
“I know you would… I can feel your drive to talk about your thesis…”
Windo just screams at me to leave him alone and stop invading his nightmares lmfao
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.
A two hour long video on Anakins unabridged thesis? Well I'd be positively delighted to watch such a thing!
Vader slipped a cassette tape of his thesis playing on full blast when he threw the Emperor into the Death Star reactor.
Anakin reading the full thesis would be a great Patreon stretch goal
With Anakin acting so childish, I can see why Padme decided to marry him
“You mean you can’t see why Padme decided to marry him.”
“…you mean you can’t see why Padme decided to marry him, right?”
...........
She likes them young.
She a pedo, man.

I love how Anakin seems to think that "lightning fingies" is some sort of uncurable condition sith ate afflicted with.
I need to hear the full two hour Thesis! You have no idea how much I need it.
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.
