The return of Palpatine actually makes sense considering Star Wars Canon history and the powers that Darth Sidious has compared to older Siths, when you consider Sith Alchemy, Essence transfer and Immortality, it makes perfect sense that he would be able to return. It could just have been done a lot better and it does clash somehow with the Chosen One prophecy (which I have a problem with in the first place anyway as getting rid of the dark side entirely is not bringing balance and is not realistic, so it is either a false prophecy or its true meaning was misunderstood).
@@YAZlakhdar It doesn't matter if it makes sense in some weird way like "muh but he has that kind of power". It completely destroys the entire point of the ENTIRE series.
@@YAZlakhdar Getting rid of the Sith is bringing balance, that's literally George Lucas' definition. The Sith and the use of the Dark Side to gain power is the imbalance. That's how Light, Dark, and the Force work in this universe What i understand is that Palpatine wanted a strong force user to transfer his essence into from the very beginning, that's why he made Luke and Vader fight, it was a win/win situation for him. But he didn't expect Luke resisting the Dark Side and Vader redeeming himself and this was his undoing, also blowing up twice. in space. There was literally nobody around for him to transfer into, and that's why him returning is not only stupid, but completely disrespectful to the source material and the viewer's intelligence and their understanding of cause and effect.
@@fio_lume it seems the main idea of movies using force for destruction is moving world to imbalance state, and using force for sustaining the world is making world balanced.
All the wars fought by hundreds of extremely powerful Sith and Jedi with real Dark v Light battles makes the Clone Wars and Galactic wars seem like a small dodgeball game. Being a powerful Jedi never mattered at that time. If there was only a small village of humans left, and they were fighting wars with nearby anthills it wouldn’t matter who the stronger human was because the enemy is crushed just as easily. Humans v ants are Jedi v Soldiers/battle droids. And making Anakin the “Chosen One” at that time, like bruh does it really matter? Not really because the Sith have pretty much been wiped out already. What’s killing one or two more? There were *zero* Sith at one point in time way after the Sith Empire was destroyed and people found their old knowledge. It’s gonna happen again at some point or another. Anakin killing himself then Palpatine is a footnote compared to Vitiate/Valkorian, Revan, Malgus, Nihilus, Hero of Tython, Marka Ragnos, Exar Kunn, and all of Luke’s achievements as grandmaster of the new Jedi Order.
@@daniyalvirk6302 Yeah, there were a bunch of issues with his 7-9, but it might have been a bit better if he got time to flesh it out. I feel like Disney had a decent idea, where they hired 3 directors, with JJ, who's really good at putting things in place, Rian, who's really good at developing things, but they put JJ back in for the 3rd movie, and he struggled with closing it in that movie, because Duel of Fates was pretty good in terms of a concept.
Star Wars is Episodes 1-6. And that's it. And that's all I need. It is a complete story -- and George Lucas clearly explains the completeness of the story.
@@homi1001 they are not a creative project. They are a destructive project, to replace a story they could never have set up with one of their own, a much less meaningful one. People say that the sequels were purely made because of greed, I think they are mostly created out of envy and pride.
Everyone knows that the sequels are a bad nightmare Luke had after the ewok party on Episode VI, that's it. I still consider Rogue One and Solo (also the Obi-Wan series and The Mandalorian) as real though.
When the emperor returned in Rise of Skywalker everyone was saying:"Oh my god, biggest pile of crappy garbage-shit we've ever seen!" but when it was done in the Thrawn-Triology everyone said:"Oh my god, biggest twist ever, Palpatine is a genius, coolest shit we've ever seen!" The Star Wars community is a really strange one.
@@Bambuzzsprosse it all depends on delivery I suppose. I haven't read the Thrawn trilogy but I am sure that the delivery of said twist in that story is a lot better than the "somehow hurrr" in the movies which had already been shitting all over star wars for 2 movies prior to it. It doesn't take a galaxy brain to figure out why one was welcomed by fans and the other was shit on.
@@Bambuzzsprosse ur joking right ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nevermind the fact dark empire is WAYYYYY better, palpatine shouldn’t return AT ALL, Heir to the empire are the true sequels to return of the Jedi
The fall of Anakin Skywalker is one of the most tragic stories in cinematic history. Someone with so much love and empathy, but still so flawed. So much pain and loss. And yet did so much harm to others. Even though he was ultimately redeemed, he must still be held accountable for all the pain, death and destruction he caused.
I was thinking the same thing. His redemption is a nice story, but it hardly negates the harm and loss he created, which was so much worse than he himself suffered. When you think about it, the jedi code of "no attachment" is what allowed a place for Palpatine a place into Anakin's heart to be able twist it to his will. If the jedi had been more cognizant mentors, they could have seen his pain and done something to help him heal. Instead they put him in a box that served their interests... until it didn't. Their solution to the problem is to get acolytes when they are young and moldable. If they don't find them soon enough, they are abandoned to figure it out on their own, which is why the sith would always be able to find young padwans, just like every other criminal enterprise IRL (mafia, yakuza, gangs etc). Sorry for the editorializing, just a stream of consciousness that jumped into my head as I watched this informative video😉
@@nard1000 the Jewish code itself is what brought Anikan down to the dark side, not the fact he had attachments, even the original Luke realized that and Luke allowed attachments in the new jedi order, until disney came along and ruined everything
It makes me unreasonably angry when people try to say Luke is The Chosen One. it takes one quick look up to see he isn’t. The creator of the universe literally says it right here “Anakin is The Chosen One”.
You can interpret works in many ways. You can use the word of the creator as the absolute truth, the actual work it self instead, or a combination of the two. George interprets his story as Anakin being the Chosen One and balance as no dark side, other interpret balance as a literal balance of light and dark and can view Luke as the Chosen One. As long as you can back up your interpretation with evidence then it’s valid.
This is why I love Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader; he committed a lot of horrible actions not even his redemption can completely make up for but you can still sympathize with him. With a lot of villains who commit horrendous actions and redeem themselves in the end, they still come off as unlikable and the redemption feels half-baked. However, Anakin is different because you can actually tell how he's feeling and understand the suffering he's going through, making him feel human.
The first six movies have forever changed my view of Darth Vadar from an iconic villain to a tragic character. He was born into slavery and would spend the rest of his life in servitude to the dark side and the emperor (“I must obey my master”). He was only free during his time with the Jedi. He lost his mother, he lost his wife and his children (or so he thought) and had no friends except for the emperor, a man he probably despised. His entire life was one long tragedy.
@@luizboxwellgranja561 totally agree with you he was never free until he was freed by his son and i guess in death where he wasn't Vader anymore but himself
@@mUndertakerg rogue one sucked. It erased Kyle Katarn, my favorite Star Wars character. I'll never watch Obi Wan. Dont care to see that character get as trashed as they did Luke and i also don't like giving a company as perverse as Disney money.
@@Flanavision Obi wan’s character didn’t get trashed. He ends up at the end of the show being the guy we saw in the other movies. Show has problems but Obi Wan’s character isn’t one of them
@SaiyanPrince97 well, he did, he murdered lots of jedis. In the end it was good for the balance of the force, but still, if he hadn't moved to the dark side he would have been the chosen one either way. That what I think.
If Anakin didn't fall to the Dark Side, Palpatine would have never died. He would have found another Sith, and that Sith wouldn't have been turned to the light side and thus Palpatine would never have died. Anakin is like a sacrifice to bring about balance, a martyr who was supposed to fall to the Dark Side to bring about the light.
@@misternich4935 palpatine might have been testing whether or not anakin would turn to the dark side. if not, palpatine could have probably just killed mace windu regardless
@@puncifikator3870 mace won fair and square George said that, there are a lot of parallels between mace and palpatine, they both seemingly have the same potential and they definitely share the same powers (shatterpoint, proficiency in 7th form of lightsaber combat, both using the dark side etc...) Palpatine could have won only if he killed mace in the beginning, you see mace has mastered vapaad which means that the longer the fight was going on the more he was channeling the dark side energy from palpatine.
If Anakin didnt fall to the dark side he would still bring balance becoming a full Jedi and doing it by killing the Sith. Is not that hard to understand.

Masterpiece. These six movies will be long remembered, while the Disney output will fade into memory, the substandard, corporate byproduct of better times and greater imagination.
I wish it were true but Disney will keep pumping out more shows and movies and shows and movies that eventually, generations will come and go having been introduced to star wars ONLY through their garbage content. That's why they don't care that people reject their trash and call their new stories terrible. The goal is just to make a giant wall of content that ignore Lucas' cannon and keeps people subscribed and buying merch.
Very well put. That's how I deal with Disney's take on Star Wars. I just tell myself, "As far as I'm concerned, the story ended with Episode 6!! However, I really liked Rogue One!!
The prequels arw absolute shit. The only reason anyone is praising them now is because people hates the Disney ones so in their weak minds suddenly the prequels were great. They are trash. An abomination in terms of movie making. The original trilogy will live on forever and in time the prequels will be relegated back to the shit pile they came from with the Disney trilogy.
I always loved Luke's conversation with Vader on Endor Something about the big bad and big good coming together to just have a genuine talk before moving on to the inevitable always gets me. Also because of how Vader for maybe once in his life doesn't intimidate or force or manipulate but just tries to convince Luke back as well as not mocking or trivialising Luke's thoughts and feelings, gets him to rethink instead.
I’ve always thought Luke and Anakin were representations of the 3 greatest kinds of heroes across storytelling history. Anakin is the prophesied “chosen one” and also the redeemed villain. Luke is the hero of a thousand faces- who became great seemingly by chance and his own sense of responsibility.
@@techno639 Will with the movie they did. Rey was the one that brought balance to the force in the end. If rey was the one to end the sith then she is the chosen one not anakin. And its so dumb, because it always anakin star wars is all about anakin and the skywalkers.
@@user-vz2ot7cj5u Well technically it was also all the Jedi which includes Anakin, Luke, Obi Wan, Yoda, Qui Gon, Mace Windu, Ahsoka and Kanan so it wasn't just her

@@jonesfamily4326 The overwhelming majority of the problems with the prequels go away if you just fix the dialogue and have good actors to deliver it. That's really the only thing holding them back, assuming you can handle the oversaturation of 2000s CGI.
@@jonesfamily4326 i wouldn't say he's a bad director but i agree with the script part lol though the story was good it was just the dialogue that was bad
@dextercochran4916 the actors were good. It's really just the dialogue. Hayden is a good actor he just got the cringiest lines George could think of. And everyone else in the movies were amazing. Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Sam L Jackson, Ian McDiarmid and basically everyone else was amazing. The diologue is the culprit not the actors.
Luke was a symbol of hope, in hope to bring back the light, and he did bring back Anakin, Anakin fulfilled his destiny. This is why Disney SW will never be canon or part of this franchise in my eyes, episodes 1-6 will always be the real franchise and only.
Same. The only way I can view the Sequels...is if I mentally tell myself "ok, this is just an alternate universe". And it really is an alternate universe. Lucas clearly did not want this.
@@awakenow7147 I honestly see the disney made SW movies as a really expensive fan fiction trilogy, I don't count them as ever occurring in the real star wars universe, alternate reality or not.
@@hyperrunner8531 Thats valid. I think we're practically on the same page, but I have a bit of an unpopular opinion when it comes to the old Expanded Universe as well. I also see most of the EU as being pure fan fiction/alternate universe(with the exception of maybe KOTOR and Force Unleashed). Basically, anything that Lucas didn't seem to care for, I compartmentalize it and place it elsewhere in the multi-verse. Of course, the EU is largely better written than the Disney stuff, but that doesn't change the fact that it also strays from the core philosophy too many times for me to be comfortable with.
@@awakenow7147 I can definitely say I share a little bit of that opinion when it comes to only a small part of the EU, principally the parts after episode 6, and George has indeed expressed feeling the same way for the longest time as the whole thing of the Emperor coming back several times and then the republic collapsing again to then be reformed yet again just didn't sit right with me as it was super repetitive, lacking in originality, and just like the disney version, undermining of the point of the 6 true SW movies, that the chosen one was prophesied to destroy the sith and bring balance to the force, but the sith keep coming back again and again which basically makes everything Luke and his father did seem for nothing, that's why I don't count anything happening after episode 6 as canon. But most parts of the EU before the prequels I look at it as brilliantly crafted with immense depth, lore and realism that rivals the Tolkienverse, the origins of the sith, Darth Vitiate, Darth Nihilus, Revan, Darth Bane, the background to the rule of 2, the stuff that went on in the sith wars are so epic they very easily rival the movies, the writers had the space to be really creative and make up their own characters without having to be limited by the narrow possibilities of what sort of conflict could realistically arise after episode 6, its really difficult to make something like that work when the sith and the empire were defeated and the force was in balance, it was the ultimate ending, how do you continue it realistically? Which is why both disney and the EU really couldn't make a great squeal story It just seems like they were out of good ideas, but I would say George was the only one who knew how to carry on the story in a realistic way by changing the entire theme of it, doing something new and innovative, essentially taking the mythos to the next level by delving into the celestials and the deeper nature of the force and how/why it influences the events of the galaxy, a story structured on discovery of a deeper cosmic world that influences the force and the events of history similar to the Star Trek the final frontier movie where they discover secrets about creation, rather than your very typical dark vs light war would give us something new and progressing of what came before, wile giving greater meaning and understanding to all of it.
@@hyperrunner8531 Good points about the old republic content. I'm honestly not as concerned about that. I do think the old republic era has a lot more room for creativity. This could even be why George almost canonized Revan and Bane in The Clone Wars series. I guess my only nitpick about the old republic era is Kreia. I personally love her as a characters, and she brings up many good points in regards to the Force, Jedi, and Sith. But I do wonder if there was a way to incorporate her foresight in a more organic way with Lucas's movies. I respect KOTOR 2 as a deconstruction, but I wonder where it fits in exactly. Then again, I suppose my conditions can be a little steep sometimes. I too wanted to see George's expansion of the Force's lore. The microbiotic Whills using people as vehicles sounds insane...but somehow intriguing. The very description of the Whills makes them sound like they could either be a great ally, or a huge threat. But of course, Disney was too scared to even consider such a route. And to be fair...I feel like many of the fans would be too. The closest we're going to get...is whatever lore Dave Filoni decides to incorporate into his shows.
I want George to come back and remake the sequels even if it's crap I'd rather watch his version then Disney's bull shit fan fiction version. That's my one wish I hope that comes true one day.
It was always Anakin... Through the Force, Luke was either used as a fail-safe option or as the final lesson that Anakin needed to learn depending on how you view the situation... essentially Free Will vs Destiny and all that jazz but it doesn't really matter... Because the core motivational force behind everything that Anakin did was always "the Fear of Loss" which first began with Losing his Mother. Then it was the Fear of Losing Padme that made him fall to the Dark. But it was also the Fear of Losing his Son that eventually made him rise back to the Light again. Throughout his long journey Anakin tried so hard to acquire all the power he could in order to protect those he cared about and to never lose them and at first this sounds noble or at the very least relatable. But in doing so he was led astray and taught to believe by Sidious (essentially the Devil) that only a person that can control everything can have any real impact. But this is a lie and is ultimately a path that can only lead to despair. It's only though self sacrifice for the greater good and letting go of trying to control everything that we are able to have the greatest positive impact on those we Love. And Anakin had to spend years in the Dark and in hellish torment to eventually understand that harsh lesson. The whole concept of "The Chosen One" (in every meaningful story created from Neo, Harry Potter, Jesus, etc.) is that they are never meant to walk an easy path. They have to suffer. There's no way around it. It's the only way in which life's greatest lessons and their own personal transcendence can be obtained.
Anakin lost everything, his wife, his body, his health, all he had was anger. He couldn't start a new family, he could only focus on his "job". Thats so good story. Everything about anakin is so great, that every other story seams boring. It's really hard to one-up that. Every other bad SW movie, makes anakin story greater.
@@LukasOfTheLight the story of the prequels was pretty good but the deliverance, pacing, and the writing was bad. The idea of anakin going through journeys with kenobi, learning more about the emperor, witnessing anakin struggling with the dark side of the force, leading more about the Jedi, and watching kenobi story was pretty awesome. However, I will agree that their dialogues, acting, deliverance, and even some part of the story were extremely awful. George Lucas as a director is not his strong suit, but the concept of the prequels was still top notch.
At the very end of his life, Anakin did bring balance to the force. He was destined to. Even the injury no one else would've survived Anakin did survive, probably by the will of the Force itself. And so, he redeemed himself and fulfilled the final destiny of his life.
What’s truly sad is that anakin from birth was given a burden so heavy that not only did it cost him his love ones but his own self in which he gave in to evil only to be saved by his own son such a tragic yet beautiful story Lucas created.
@@MrAsthmatic Disney robbed Anakin (and all other Star Wars characters) of his achievements so that they could give them to Rey. Anakin was supposed to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force, but they retconned Sidious back to life.
Me, and after watching this i'm more inclined to think that ros is worse then tlj. By bringing sidious back they ruined everything that original trilogy and prequels had established. And they don't even explain how he came back, so basically they could bring him back again? Episode10: "I'm back bitches...again"
@@mychaellytvyn5100 Adding on to that. why couldnt any jedi figure out how to force heal like Ray and Kylo. Cause if they did Anakins Fall is completly pointless. He wouldnt need the darkside.
This pretty much makes the sequels completely noncanon fanfiction by official standards. George himself confirmed that Palpatine died and Anakin was the Chosen One. The sequels undermined both of those things with both Rey and Palpatine.
@@MrAsthmatic physically he did die. Soul wise it still took him a good while to transfer into one of his clones. And even then you saw how quickly his own soul began to destroy the clone body. The thing people forgetting bout balance, it never STAYS balanced forever. The fact people are complaining bout palpatine "surviving" Ep6 into the legends story is like people denying the fact that becoming a force ghost isnt immortality despite them saying thats a way to become immortal. Palpatine just used the dark version of the same end result.
@@MrAsthmatic legends was never canon at all anyway. George also said that Clone Wars, the Prequels, and Original Trilogy were canon because he worked on them.
If George said it, then that settles it. The prophecy is true and we were right all along. Maybe they should brush up on their general education, the art of storytelling, and star wars history.
Joe Gray first off i hate the shitty prequels second no where else besides rebels does it say luke is the chosen one anakin being the chosen one is still offical canon how can he not be the whole saga revoles around him Give me proof of this claim.
I knew it! What i loved about these films is the way it narrated the chosen one story line and how Anakin did prove to be the chosen one but not going through the journey we all assumed or expected, love it when story lines go against the norm
It’s crazy that people just blatantly deny what the creator of a fictional piece says about his own creation. This is just as bad as when some people deny that Luke and Anakin have the same potential, when George Lucas clearly stated it.
@@GB1510-yt well I mean Luke is a direct offspring of someone made directly from the force plus Lucas literally stated that they have the same potential so there is no denying it.
@@GB1510-yt I like to think of it like they have the same potential but luke wouldn’t reach his maximum potential like anakin did because he doesn’t utilize both sides of the force. But I’m a super new SW fan so I don’t know if that is true or not.
@@chanda3171 yeah it isn’t true but that would be a good theory if Lucas didn’t confirm that they have same potential and that Luke became what Anakin could not.
There are two things that so many Star Wars fans fundamentally misunderstand and it skews their entire perception of the saga. But these are facts and they need to be understood. *1. Anakin was the Chosen One.* He always was and always will be (which is a serious critique of what the sequels later did) *2. He did not bring balance to the Force in Revenge of the Sith, he did it in Return of the Jedi.* Too many people think balance in the Force is equality between the Jedi and Sith but that was never true. Lucas always treated the Dark Side as a corruption of the Force, where balance can only be achieved if the corruption is destroyed. In this case, balance means harmony and you can only have harmony when the unbalance Sith aren't destroying, controlling, and manipulating everything. It's like a human body, is the body balanced when you eat heathy foods and poison in equal amounts? No. The most balance you can have is when you only eat healthy food. When Anakin helped destroy the Jedi, he threw the Force into an imbalance. But the surprise was that in the end, he established balance by destroying the Sith. That's why the happy ending is when Luke, the only Force user left, is a Jedi. The Force is balanced when only the Jedi exist, that is the balance Lucas always talked about the films reflect this.
This is a well thought out take, but I disagree. The thing is, the prequels and OT both show us that neither the Jedi nor the Sith are very good. They both try to manipulate and use Anakin and Luke. Thats why Anakin fell. He needed trust and love and etc. and the Jedi failed him while looking out for their own ends. Obi Wan and Yoda did the same to Luke. We see this in ROTJ. From the very beginning, Luke is walking a super fine line between dark and light. He's dressed in all black, he's cocky and brash in his approach to Jabba, hell...he even force chokes Gamoreans. That is 100% a Sith move. But he's also still a good guy doing good things. Morally gray you might call it. Then, at the end, when goaded by the Emperor and Vader, Luke loses it and hits Vader with a Wolverine style Berzerker Barrage which results in Vader beaten down and his hand cut off. Full on dark side rage. The emporer cheers and Luke realizes what he's done. He seees his fathers robot hand and then his own. Its at this moment, when Luke says NO, throws down his sword and denies the Emporer what he wants, that Anakin understands. Palpatine tortures Luke and he begs his father for help, and Anakin can take it no longer, tosses Palps and saves Luke. Here at the end, all Jedi are dead (taking ONLY the movies Canon into account) and all Sith are dead, leaving Luke. The only one who managed to find the balance between dark and light. To me, this says Anakin brought about the balance, and Luke is the representation of said balance.
@@nossenkanter except that renders the prophecy of the chosen one as complete garbage. And renders basically the story of Star Wars (ie: the story of Anakin Skywalker) as complete garbage. Disneys sequels exist for one reason. It wasn't to complete the story. Because the story was complete. They exist because Money. Just to add, Palpatine was thrown down into a reactor.

@A Guy he brought back the flow of the force that the siths were trying to build a dam to control everything. If they won, there wouldnt be a flow to the force for rey to harness as sith would control the flow of the force. aka no balance. think of it as a river. jedis flow through it, letting it guide them. siths harness the flow, and control it.
Xlen Omega We all do buddy, We all do...... and now we DAMN sure wish Ep8 didn't exist, more so than Ep7. At least Abrams somewhat knew what he was doing, Rian Johnson had no idea what HE was doing at all. He didn't even know how to make a Star Wars film even FEEL like a Star Wars film at all. It was horrible. It had a couple pretty cool parts and action scenes yea, but the movie itself overall and the whole storyline is just flat out horrible in every way.
not me tho i liked ep7, rogue one and ep8! Disney is doing good with star wars so far. We got star wars rebels which btw is a great show. I'm fully star wars fan! i like everything star wars related. (well not everything cough... jar jar...)
I honestly feel like there’s a lot of layers to this trilogy as far as structure goes. The three act structure can be split between the movies like this Act 1: Ep1-2 Act 2: Ep3-5 Act 3: Ep6
techno639 act 2 ends at a low point in the three act structure. Act 1 and 3 are roughly 25% of the story each whole act 2 is 50%. Splitting them equally doesn’t work. Also 7-9 is too far separated from the prequels to work in that way, aside from the last minute inclusion of palpatine
I wasn’t a huge fan of the Star Wars prequels, but adding the prophecy was such a smart and artistically sensitive move. The prophecy is basically forgotten about by all the characters over time, and by the time Vader redeems himself the audience is the only one remembering it. It makes Vader’s last moments so much more emotionally tender, to see him fulfil his destiny even after so much violence and bloodshed.
This is the story of star wars. The sequels gave me the feeling nobody working on those films, SW is not about space ships and light sabers, but about the emotional conflict with in characters like anakin skywalker
Well, you will have to contend with the fans of Rey now. If there are any. She is the chosen one in the new film. To do what Anakin didn't do. Which is ludicrous
I’ve literally never heard an “OT fanboy” declare Luke to be the chosen one; there is no mention of a chosen one in the OT to begin with. I think it’s pretty much universally understood to be Anakin (or at least it _was,_ then Rey came along...)
@@unpopularopinions7407 Rebels... Obi Wan said Luke was the chosen one since he tought Anakin was gone forever. So some OT fanboys say that Obi Wan was right. They also say that without Luke saving his father the emperor would still be alive there for Luke is the chosen one. But then I just say but without Anakin Luke wouldn't even exist.
Whenever someone tells me Anakin isn't the Chosen One, I just copy this link and all they have to do is click. However, now that Disney owns it they have the legal right to change that. It depends on how you look at it. Do you trust the man who created the whole Star Wars universe and the story? Or do you trust those who can tell the story simply because they bought it? Then, you have those who will adhere to fan fiction. For example, the fan remake of Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan Kenobi I want to consider as canon. 😂 You can believe whatever you want. At the end of the day, it's just a story and no one should get bent out of shape over something that isn't real. Celebrate the fact that Lucas gave this to us in the first place and show the man some respect.
Eric Neely I say Lucas has the final say regardless, if you really hate the Disney movies. You can just think of 1-6 as a finishe story, and ignore 7-9
@@ericsesame6321 It's unfortunate. Best case scenario would have been for Lucas to do the sequel trilogy before selling it to Disney, then they could have taken off from there and created stories outside of the Skywalker Saga. Instead the sale of Lucasfilm opened up interpretation of Anakin and Luke's legacies to directors and writers outside of Lucas' influence. I enjoyed the sequel trilogy and love all things Star Wars. I do think it's sad that we couldn't see Lucas' vision all the way through.

It's funny how Disney completely destroyed George Lucas idea. "Somehow Palpatine returned" lmfao Anakin: Am I a joke to u? Thats why the sequels and not canon. Even legends is more canon than the sequels.
Star wars is basically a more theatrical version of the older greek stories. Mainly the idea of the prophecies eventually coming true even if it’s not as expected
George: *looks upon his entire estate, legacy, and self-satisfaction from creating a six-story saga that everyone loves and completely outshines 7, 8, & 9* Uno Reverse Card
Luke brought Anakin back that's why people thought it was him he got him to become Anakin again and kill the emperor and up until I saw this I thought it was luke too because he was too pure and wise like obi-wan and yoda
@@angelothompson186 he was too pure because he never faced the hypocrisy of the Jedi Council which Anakin did, tbh, even Luke would have snapped out if he was in Anakin's place.
Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader will always be my favourite hero. To me, he represents the very core of the human being: The immense good and love we're capable of, the suffering we face and sometimes are crushed by, the desire to be free to choose, the drive to serve a higher purpose, the evil that knows no boundaries, the venegefulness we fight but often fall prey to, the loss we cannot escape, the sadness and anger that consume us like fire, the ability to change and find a way back to our hurt heart. Anakin Skywalker is that all and more, all that represents humanity. He is both the greatest failure and the greatest success in the world. That's why he's my favourite hero, and that's why he's the Chosen One.
he was afraid because anakin was the strongest of them all in the force even Yoda. that is why Yoda feared for his future. so Palpatine had to manipulate him and get him to the dark side.
but that was the whole prophecy, that Palpatine didn't get. Yoda didn't want to believe anakin was the chosen one because he feared that what if the prophecy change patterns and the sith once rule again and anakin didn't bring balance to the force whether he was dark side or not.
but it did come true because of his son Luke. once Vader destroyed Darth Sidious, sith no longer exist anymore because there is not rule of one. there is must be a dark lord of the sith for sith to exist. that is why Kylo Ren wants to contine.
Balance is not between light and dark. Light and dark, good and evil, they're all just words. You can't have balance between vocabulary. Balance is between life and death. Life creates the force, so preserving life strengthens the force. The Jedi protect all life and accept death, preserving the balance between the two. The Sith destroy life for self-gain and power, and they defy death for selfish reasons, as Anakin did, which disrupts the balance. That's the real and tangible balance that the films are referring to, not some simplistic and intangible notion of "light" and "dark."
I mean, he brought balance to the force, just not in the way everyone, including the Jedi, expected. He killed almost all the Jedi and then killed Sidious. Force balanced
Except for luke, the ultimate jedi. The prophecy was destroy the sith, not end the conflict by destroying the two polls. One side, the sith destroys everything no matter what, the jedi only fight the sith and cause destruction if the sith are around. Balance, peace, only comes from destroying the sith.
@@Aceshot-uu7yx and he did destroy the sith, as george lucas says in the video. he kills palpatine and then himself. luke isn't the chosen one, he never was, never will be.
