What I love is that Mace is the one who told Anakin the story of Darth Plagues and inspired his interest in the story. Mace is the one who inspired his thesis. Mace hates the thesis. Mace created his own torture

@@ArcCaravan He wrote his own thesis on Anakin's/Vader's thesis, and it was so horrible that it drove Luke into temporary insanity, leading him to attack Kylo, which sparked the events of the Sequels.
Mace later: I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! You all what you motherfuckers nowadays do is to speak about a stupid thesis of a god damn Sith story! Can't you, just for only one fucking day, speak about someone else?! For example, like, how we could make the galaxy saver and put this stupid shady chancellor in jail?!

Actually, I believe the more applicable narrative here is to view the Curse of the High Ground as a self-fulfilling prophecy. While yes, there’s no possible way Mace Windu could have foreseen that Anakin, having once turned to the Dark Side and taking the appellation of Darth Vader, would be sent by the apprentice of the fabled Darth Plageuis, about whom Anakin’s infamous thesis concluded correctly would use the Tragedy in order to prime his own protégé’s fall, to the aforementioned volcanic planet, how events shakes out have no bearing upon the actual so-called curse placed by Windu. While Anakin indeed loses three limbs and is cast into the fires both literally and spiritually, when examining what little we know of what Master Windu said in placing this curse, it seems a crass assumption to conclude Anakin’s dismemberment was a *result* of said curse. In other words, there’s no actual mention in the admittedly second hand references to the curse that say why or how Anakin will suffer thusly, let alone the exact role Mustafar would play in this apparently inevitable event. Furthermore, and I believe this is the most compelling reason to disregard the whole curse theory, Anakin did not fall into the lava by freak accident but by his own conscious decision to try Obi Wan’s position upon the high ground. This, of course, is from whence my own thesis, “The ‘Curse’ of the High Ground: A New Look at Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar,” in the most recent issue of the Jedi Philosophy Journal.
Why does nobody want to listen to Anakin's Thesis? Honestly, I find it absolutely fascinating. It's a dichotomy, when you think about it. He creates a thesis to impress the Jedi Council, yet he only ends up provoking them. Yet if he had not, they would have been angry with him for not working hard.

"I was gonna have a quiet night, crack open a few cold ones with the boys. Now, I gotta go crack open a few boys with my cold ones..." really solid line.
I'm guessing instead of shooting mace with lightning palpatine is just going to bring up Anakin's thesis with mace there and mace will just jump out the window himself.
- In the name of Galactic Senate of the Republic... - Did you ever hear about the competing schools of thought regarding the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise? There is a bright young scholar in your temple who has done extremely amazing and provocative research on this topic; he postulates that this legend may have been designed for politic purposes. Should we, friends of Republic as we are, not call for papers for a symposium on Darth Plagueis the Wise studies to meditate and discuss our theses in detail? Later they write a Galactic Research proposal, get the funds and divert them to build the Death star.
The author of these works consistently weaves self-fulfilling prophecies into them. There’s always tension between how Anakin wants to be and how he’s treated with such disdain by authority figures, which ironically leads him to fulfill their worst assumptions. A dichotomy, one might say…

I'm invested in this. I know somewhere down the line we're going to get Vader rambling about his thesis to Luke, who's screaming in pain the whole time because his hand's been cut off.
Actually I think he was screaming because of the thesis, not his hand (after all, it is just a hand, it can be easily replaced with advantage, as long as you don't want to use Force lightning). Such an insensitive boy.
You know, when Mace asked Anakin if he must open every conversation like this I expected him to mean Anakin opens every conversation with accusing Palpatine of being a Sith Lord.
0:35 While I'm sure my "" keys don't appreciate the workout of getting to the individual frames, I do love the little Easter eggs that pop up for one or two frames for those willing to look. Anakin getting interrupted before he could mention the people in the comments that have been begging for a 2 1/2 hour video of Anakin's thesis defense plus the interesting side tangent is beautiful. It also makes Mace Windu's response even better, implicitly calling those commenters very, _very_ stupid.
Malak opened fire on Revan's ship because he was tired of hearing about Revan's thesis. And then, after tuning in on Tarisian underground swoop racing and seeing Revan still alive, ordered Taris destroyed.
Just like Canon: Mace is actually justified in disliking Anakin because Anakin's an annoying headache with a history of bad judgment. Anakin is actually justified in being frustrated with Mace because Mace isn't being professional and masking his frustration. The ONE time Anakin uses good judgment, and Mace listens, they still both word themselves in the worst possible way, leading to tragedy.
Anakin: My Lord, the Jedi Temple has been sacked Palpatine: Good Vader, now go to Mustafar and-- Anakin: I cant do that Palpatine: ... What do you mean you cant do that... Anakin: 2:16
Palpatine: *realizing he has a chance to keep his apprentice under his control by making him a disabled cripple*: Sith are …uh…immune to curses. Go, Vader
Honestly, I love petty uses of the force. Imagine using the FORCE on the chore wheel, but then again, Qui used the force to manipulate the Watto’s dice so…
It's always the little things. A Jedi wouldn't use the Force in an obvious and flashy way. The way of the Light Side is more difficult to master, but it is subtle in its passivity and in this way much more effective. Manipulating dice, avoiding paternity suits, convincing people to let them past checkpoints or to let them recruit their babies… The Dark Side is seductive with its easy ways and the unsubtle yet simple promise to shoot all your problems away with Force lightning. Don't fall to the Dark Side. You are better off dying a youngling than trying to find the six-fingered man who ransacked your temple and killed your father figure before your eyes…
Afterwards Master Windu arrested the Supreme Chanchelor and Master Skywalker cleaned the floors so clear you could see your reflection off them, which Mace Windu ate soup off of.
I just have a feeling that, after this video, when Anakin comes in to find Mace pointing his lightsaber at Palpatine, he will say, "Hi Mace, how are you?"
"I was gonna have a quiet night. Crack a few cold ones with the boys. Now I gotta go Crack a few boys with my cold ones." That line was so iconic it sounds like it belongs in a Star Wars film 🔥
Now there needs to be a video about Palpatine ordering Anakin to go to Mustafar to kill the Separatist leaders and Anakin trying to come up with excuses as to why he REAAALLY shouldn't, since he remembers that bit about the curse that takes effect if he goes there and he's afraid that Palpatine will make fun of him if he admits that.
I love that, despite his purported hatred of him, Mace still trusts Anakin enough to straight-up arrest the Chancellor based on Anakin accusing him. Say what you will, but the guy’s got academic integrity!
Can he do that? Being a Sith is not against any law of the Republic. The Jedi don't want to suffer a Sith to live, is all, which actually makes the Jedi outlaw vigilantes. That's why, when Windu moves to arrest the Chancellor, he is in fact committing treason against the Republic. Windu claims to act in the name of the Senate, but neither Windu nor the Jedi Order have a senatorial mandate.
@@davidwuhrer6704 no. One Chancellor of the old republic turned out to be a Sith. he caused a lot of damage to the republic so after he was voted out the republic made a law barring Sith from holding important political offices. so the jedi could legally arrest Palpatine for being a Sith wile holding the office of Chancelor. but the law would be several thousand years old at this point. so ;) unless someone wrote a thesis on old Republic Legislation. Who would know of this particular law.
@@abdel-rahmansaid6094 If it had been illegal, the Chancellor would have made it legal. And it still wouldn't have given the Jedi the authority to act in the name of the Senate.
@@davidwuhrer6704 Palpatine wouldn't do anything to make the jedi suspicious of him, why would he get rid of a law from several thousand years ago related to the Sith holding political office. besides the senit would have to vote to repeal a law and Sith are not very popular in the republic. Count Duku the leader of the separatists was a known Sith.
@@abdel-rahmansaid6094 _> Palpatine wouldn't do anything to make the jedi suspicious of him._ He would not arrange for an army of clones to be raised in secret, for example. Or another army of Droids. He would not secretly pull the strings to arrange a war to extend his executive powers. He would not recruit Jedi to these ends, or assassins. And he certainly would not issue an executive order for to exterminate the remaining Jedi. It might make the Jedi suspicious of him. Can't have that.
Anakin, have you ever heard the tragedy of Master Windu the vulgar? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Mace Windu was a Jedi master, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the chore wheel.
Ok but unironically jedi art therapy classes is something that sounds like it has genuine potential in letting Jedi acknowledge and release passions without indulging them or whatever the fuck those assholes are always going on about
You should make it so when Palpatine gives his speech about how the attack has left him scarred and deformed, it's because Anakin gave him the *unabridged* version of his thesis, and Mace jumped out the window to avoid another telling of it.
I haven't enjoyed Star Wars for a long time, this series appeared in my feed a few months ago. I'm hooked and I've shown all my friends and they love it too!
(After the rise of the Empire, Palpatine calls Yoda through the Force) Palpatine: Can you take him back? He won’t lock it the bleep up about his thesis. Yoda: (Yoda giggle) No.
Little did he know that all the other council members considered the chore wheel a contest of force powers, with the loser doing the cleaning. Since he was the only one who didn't try, realize this he lost by default
The jedi chore wheel thing is just a regular hazing of the new guy on the council. Everyone has gone through it, it ends when Anakin isn’t the new guy.
Goddamn, it seems like Windu hates Anakin's thesis so much that he would willingly throw himself out of a chancellor's window from miles high just to avoid hearing about it. I hope he can find some peace in therapy. Poor guy.
After taking about 4 minutes trying to pause the video I have now come to ask for a video of an hour in length where Vader tells palpatine his entire thesis while waiting for Luke to arrive. Only to get interrupted at the last few lines after an interesting side tangent, proceeding to throw palpatine to his death as he never gets to finish his entire thesis
You could say there is a dichotomy within Master Windu's internal and external feeling towards Dr. Skywalker, however, one would need to study the subtext of his actions to understand where his true feelings lay.
What I love is that Mace is the one who told Anakin the story of Darth Plagues and inspired his interest in the story. Mace is the one who inspired his thesis. Mace hates the thesis. Mace created his own torture

His thesis is relevant and he's not allowed to bring it up? That's the true tragedy.
One Can say it was the Tragedy of Darth Thesis 😂
@@user-ev3fq9hw7v now I really hope Anakin requests to Palpatine that his sith name be Darth Thesis instead of Darth Vader. That way, anytime someone says his name, they'll have accidentally brought up his thesis. And thus he has permission to regale them with this incredible tale of dichotomy 😂.
That permission thing only applies as long as Windu alive
@@Sanbi35 well if you believe the theories... Mace Windu never died
His body is still MIA after all this time
One day, Luke will redeem Vader by being the one person who finally asks to hear the unabridged version of his thesis.
The emperor throws himself into the bottomless pit in the throne room to escape
"I was gonna have a quiet night, crack open a few cold ones with the boys. Now, I gotta go crack open a few boys with my cold ones..."
really solid line.
1:07 that joke had me cry-wheeze-laughing up against the wall. You sir, are a master
Anakin, OTOH, is not.
I'm guessing instead of shooting mace with lightning palpatine is just going to bring up Anakin's thesis with mace there and mace will just jump out the window himself.
- In the name of Galactic Senate of the Republic...
- Did you ever hear about the competing schools of thought regarding the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise? There is a bright young scholar in your temple who has done extremely amazing and provocative research on this topic; he postulates that this legend may have been designed for politic purposes. Should we, friends of Republic as we are, not call for papers for a symposium on Darth Plagueis the Wise studies to meditate and discuss our theses in detail?
Later they write a Galactic Research proposal, get the funds and divert them to build the Death star.
0:17 CLONE WARS REFERENCES!!! LETS GOOO
Beautiful. I can truly appreciate the meta-narrative as it unfolds with every new episode.
The author of these works consistently weaves self-fulfilling prophecies into them. There’s always tension between how Anakin wants to be and how he’s treated with such disdain by authority figures, which ironically leads him to fulfill their worst assumptions. A dichotomy, one might say…
it's mace windu's fault obi wan gets the high ground on mustafar.
edit: holy shit i've never gotten that many likes on a comment before.
I believe the more applicable narrative here is to view the Curse of the High Ground as a self-fulfilling prophecy. While yes, there’s no possible way Mace Windu could have foreseen that Anakin, having once turned to the Dark Side and taking the appellation of Darth Vader, would be sent by the apprentice of the fabled Darth Plageuis, about whom Anakin’s infamous thesis concluded correctly would use the Tragedy in order to prime his own protégé’s fall, to the aforementioned volcanic planet, how events shakes out have no bearing upon the actual so-called curse placed by Windu. While Anakin indeed loses three limbs and is cast into the fires both literally and spiritually, when examining what little we know of what Master Windu said in placing this curse, it seems a crass assumption to conclude Anakin’s dismemberment was a *result* of said curse. Furthermore, and I believe this is the most compelling reason to disregard the whole curse theory, Anakin did not fall into the lava by freak accident but by his own conscious decision to try Obi Wan’s position upon the high ground. This, of course, is from whence my own thesis, “The ‘Curse’ of the High Ground: A New Look at Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar,” in the most recent issue of the Jedi Philosophy Journal.
“Now I have to crack a few boys with the cold ones” is a fire statement
You know what, I'm now genuinely invested in this Anakin Thesis Arc. These are the What Ifs we need to explore.
I'm invested in this. I know somewhere down the line we're going to get Vader rambling about his thesis to Luke, who's screaming in pain the whole time because his hand's been cut off.
Actually I think he was screaming because of the thesis, not his hand (after all, it is just a hand, it can be easily replaced with advantage, as long as you don't want to use Force lightning). Such an insensitive boy.
You know, when Mace asked Anakin if he must open every conversation like this I expected him to mean Anakin opens every conversation with accusing Palpatine of being a Sith Lord.
0:35 While I'm sure my "" keys don't appreciate the workout of getting to the individual frames, I do love the little Easter eggs that pop up for one or two frames for those willing to look. Anakin getting interrupted before he could mention the people in the comments that have been begging for a 2 1/2 hour video of Anakin's thesis defense plus the interesting side tangent is beautiful. It also makes Mace Windu's response even better, implicitly calling those commenters very, _very_ stupid.
And we'll stand by it, Windu is just jealous
holy I literally found your channel like 10 minutes ago and have been binging all your star wars videos
what the hell is star wards
@@CelticChu idk you tell me
@@Undisputed761 is it a type of potato?
@@CelticChu I guess we will never know
I love how Anakin's entire subtitle dialogue appears because that is his whole thought... just to be cut of by Windu 🤣🗿 🤣🗿
I wanna see the Old Repubic timeline of this thesis verse, i can only imagine how Revan and Malek are at each other's throats here
Re - pubic.🤣
Analysis: This format is perfect for a certain comedic assassin droid.
Retraction: Err, I mean comedic, law-abiding protocol droid without any illegal modifications made to him for more nefarious and duplicitous purposes.
Malak opened fire on Revan's ship because he was tired of hearing about Revan's thesis. And then, after tuning in on Tarisian underground swoop racing and seeing Revan still alive, ordered Taris destroyed.
We’re getting closer to Darth Vader explaining his thesis to luke. I’m so hype
Just like Canon:
Mace is actually justified in disliking Anakin because Anakin's an annoying headache with a history of bad judgment.
Anakin is actually justified in being frustrated with Mace because Mace isn't being professional and masking his frustration.
The ONE time Anakin uses good judgment, and Mace listens, they still both word themselves in the worst possible way, leading to tragedy.
I love how even as he’s scolding him he dose take him seriously and cancels his evening plans
“I was gonna crack open a few cold ones with the boys now I’m gonna have to crack open a few boys with my cold ones” classic
“One emergency after another” MY BROTHER IN THE FORCE WE ARE *IN A GALAXY-WIDE WAR.*
“I was gonna crack open a few cold ones with the boys, now I have to crack a few boys with my cold ones” 🔥🔥🔥
Anakin: My Lord, the Jedi Temple has been sacked
Palpatine: Good Vader, now go to Mustafar and--
Anakin: I cant do that
Palpatine: ... What do you mean you cant do that...
Anakin: 2:16
Palpatine: *realizing he has a chance to keep his apprentice under his control by making him a disabled cripple*: Sith are …uh…immune to curses. Go, Vader
Seriously! That’s Sidious’s logic! Just because Windu cursed Anakin, he thinks changing the name negates the curse!
Its so rewarding to know all of the context for this from previous videos omg, I'm invested I love it
THE THESIS ARCH IS MY FAVORITE THING ON THE INTERNET!!!
thank you : )
This is top comedy. I really mean that. I would totally watch this if it was a full series. I muthafuckin' love it!
Honestly, I love petty uses of the force. Imagine using the FORCE on the chore wheel, but then again, Qui used the force to manipulate the Watto’s dice so…
It's always the little things. A Jedi wouldn't use the Force in an obvious and flashy way. The way of the Light Side is more difficult to master, but it is subtle in its passivity and in this way much more effective. Manipulating dice, avoiding paternity suits, convincing people to let them past checkpoints or to let them recruit their babies…
The Dark Side is seductive with its easy ways and the unsubtle yet simple promise to shoot all your problems away with Force lightning. Don't fall to the Dark Side. You are better off dying a youngling than trying to find the six-fingered man who ransacked your temple and killed your father figure before your eyes…
Afterwards Master Windu arrested the Supreme Chanchelor and Master Skywalker cleaned the floors so clear you could see your reflection off them, which Mace Windu ate soup off of.
Abakin‘s turn to the Dark Side makes a lot more sense in the context of him being institutionally bullied by the Council.
I just have a feeling that, after this video, when Anakin comes in to find Mace pointing his lightsaber at Palpatine, he will say, "Hi Mace, how are you?"
YOU WERE RIGHT!
2:24 I love the application that the Curse is real
"I was gonna have a quiet night. Crack a few cold ones with the boys. Now I gotta go Crack a few boys with my cold ones." That line was so iconic it sounds like it belongs in a Star Wars film 🔥
Now there needs to be a video about Palpatine ordering Anakin to go to Mustafar to kill the Separatist leaders and Anakin trying to come up with excuses as to why he REAAALLY shouldn't, since he remembers that bit about the curse that takes effect if he goes there and he's afraid that Palpatine will make fun of him if he admits that.
Please, please, PLEASE record the full 2 hour Thesis. I'm sure I am not alone in wanting to hear Dr Anakin Skywalkers Thesis on Dichotomy
Anakin and his damn thesis
I love this alternate star wars universe you’ve created
I love that, despite his purported hatred of him, Mace still trusts Anakin enough to straight-up arrest the Chancellor based on Anakin accusing him. Say what you will, but the guy’s got academic integrity!
I hope in the next installment he actually doses the paperwork and arrests Palpatine legally.
Can he do that? Being a Sith is not against any law of the Republic. The Jedi don't want to suffer a Sith to live, is all, which actually makes the Jedi outlaw vigilantes.
That's why, when Windu moves to arrest the Chancellor, he is in fact committing treason against the Republic. Windu claims to act in the name of the Senate, but neither Windu nor the Jedi Order have a senatorial mandate.
@@davidwuhrer6704 no. One Chancellor of the old republic turned out to be a Sith. he caused a lot of damage to the republic so after he was voted out the republic made a law barring Sith from holding important political offices. so the jedi could legally arrest Palpatine for being a Sith wile holding the office of Chancelor. but the law would be several thousand years old at this point. so ;) unless someone wrote a thesis on old Republic Legislation. Who would know of this particular law.
@@abdel-rahmansaid6094 If it had been illegal, the Chancellor would have made it legal.
And it still wouldn't have given the Jedi the authority to act in the name of the Senate.
@@davidwuhrer6704 Palpatine wouldn't do anything to make the jedi suspicious of him, why would he get rid of a law from several thousand years ago related to the Sith holding political office.
besides the senit would have to vote to repeal a law and Sith are not very popular in the republic.
Count Duku the leader of the separatists was a known Sith.
@@abdel-rahmansaid6094
_> Palpatine wouldn't do anything to make the jedi suspicious of him._
He would not arrange for an army of clones to be raised in secret, for example. Or another army of Droids. He would not secretly pull the strings to arrange a war to extend his executive powers. He would not recruit Jedi to these ends, or assassins. And he certainly would not issue an executive order for to exterminate the remaining Jedi.
It might make the Jedi suspicious of him. Can't have that.
“I have seen a security hologram of him… doubting the sanctity of the Jedi Chore Wheel.”
“NO! Not Anakin, he couldn’t.”
Anakin, have you ever heard the tragedy of Master Windu the vulgar? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Mace Windu was a Jedi master, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the chore wheel.
And then Anakin doesn't show up to save Palpatine from the fight because he is actually busy cleaning the council chamber
I am scared to think of what the mandatory school curriculum will be under the empire, when Vader has actual power to influence things
I want you to know just how much these videos break me into laughter no matter how my day has been going, this is pure comedy gold, keep it up.
We need an entire 2 hour long video of anakins thesis, from start to end, including the interesting side tangent that gives windu nightmares.
his pal, Friendpatine
hahahahaha
Who are you calling pal, buddy?
@@warlordofbritannia I'm not your buddy, guy
Ok but unironically jedi art therapy classes is something that sounds like it has genuine potential in letting Jedi acknowledge and release passions without indulging them or whatever the fuck those assholes are always going on about
"are you sure no one uses the force to influence the jedi chore wheel" lmao
Anakin: My thesis has doubled since we last met, Count.
Dooku: Twice the length, double the pain.
I get it now! It’s the paperwork! Nothing wrong with listening to the thesis, it’s just the damn paperwork!
You should make it so when Palpatine gives his speech about how the attack has left him scarred and deformed, it's because Anakin gave him the *unabridged* version of his thesis, and Mace jumped out the window to avoid another telling of it.
I'm calling it now, Palpatine will turn Anakin to the dark side by wanting to hear his thesis in full
I haven't enjoyed Star Wars for a long time, this series appeared in my feed a few months ago. I'm hooked and I've shown all my friends and they love it too!
(After the rise of the Empire, Palpatine calls Yoda through the Force)
Palpatine: Can you take him back? He won’t lock it the bleep up about his thesis.
Yoda: (Yoda giggle) No.
Little did he know that all the other council members considered the chore wheel a contest of force powers, with the loser doing the cleaning. Since he was the only one who didn't try, realize this he lost by default
and they're shocked he turned against them.
The jedi chore wheel thing is just a regular hazing of the new guy on the council. Everyone has gone through it, it ends when Anakin isn’t the new guy.
Obi-Wan was in that art therapy class:
"It's over, Anakin, we're on Mustafar!!!"
"So you're not Obi-Livious to this planet?"
"Don't try me."
Idk why but the “who the fuck has to go to Mustafar” line made me wheeze
Goddamn, it seems like Windu hates Anakin's thesis so much that he would willingly throw himself out of a chancellor's window from miles high just to avoid hearing about it. I hope he can find some peace in therapy. Poor guy.
After taking about 4 minutes trying to pause the video I have now come to ask for a video of an hour in length where Vader tells palpatine his entire thesis while waiting for Luke to arrive. Only to get interrupted at the last few lines after an interesting side tangent, proceeding to throw palpatine to his death as he never gets to finish his entire thesis
I like how Jabba is just considered a necessary evil like Harkonen
I love that the caption at 0:29 for Anakin has the full line for what he's trying to say, but Mace cuts him off after three words
Keep 'em coming! One masterpiece after another
I really will beg to hear the full version pleeeeeeasee!!!!!!!! I NEED THE FULL UNABRIDGED 2 HOUR LONG THESIS PLEEEASSEE ILL DO ANYTHING
I love you for continuing this.
You could say there is a dichotomy within Master Windu's internal and external feeling towards Dr. Skywalker, however, one would need to study the subtext of his actions to understand where his true feelings lay.
I'm starting to suspect that Vader didn't betray Palpatine out of genuine love for his son; he just got tired of all the jokes about his thesis.
Legitimately the best content on the internet. Please more. Especially star wars
Vader betraying the emporer for luke will be because luke is actually interested and willing to listen to the thesis
I fully expect a video of anakin cleaning the chambers where even the carpet rejects his thesis.
Midwit Anakin is now my favorite video meme.
Listen Anakin, someone had to take over for Yarael Poof.
I love how you display the dialogue characters intend to say, even if they get interrupted a few words into it lol
i look forward to see the imperial continuation when vader bothers imperial officers with his thesis
Love this. Love all the videos in this series. They're so funny!
