Theory Reacts to What if Star Wars: The Force Awakens Was Awesome? 

The fact that this is literally a Luke centered fan fiction, yet Luke IS NOT a Mary Sue, is freaking hilarious, and a massive middle finger to the Sequels.

When Anakin said to Luke "What does your heart tell you" I legit teared up... That's brilliant dialogue. Those are the same words Shmi said to Anakin to comfort him before leaving tatooine. I literally can't believe I teared up in an Ai video 😅

This story is well written and doesn't really abandons Legends. Ben is still a Jedi and Luke is still has the courage and confidence from Legends. And Rey appearing as a Sith fits well.

This actually makes me mad. This is one possible fan alternative. Written by one fan. ONE. And it is SO MUCH better than the sequels that an entire team of "professional" writers gave us. What an absolute embarrassment Disney is. The worst part is that something like this, something that the universe of Lucas truly deserved, will never happen...because our beloved trio is no more and the two that remain are just too old.

Dude his storylines made me 100000x madder about what Disney has done to Star Wars. I couldn’t get enough of this. These redux’s are amazing.

Imagine Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker talking to Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker's force ghost? Disney took that away from us.😡

How is this single fanfiction better than the entire Disney sequel trilogy?! This is incredible

Woah, now I’m pissed all over again. This story is incredible. can you imagine force ghost Hayden, bad Rey etc. the sequels we got were absolutely disgraceful not only too the fans but to the actors that were cast aside and made to look like bumbling idiots. Disney… do better

If Rey really is of Palpatine's lineage then her being trained as a Sith fits so much better.

I've seen this and another, I think the last jedi concept. After watching these two videos, this is now established canon for me as I've pretty much forgotten the sequel trilogy. It feels so much better to imagine the characters we love with the character development and ending they deserve. I can get behind this rey, Finn, po, Luke, pretty much everyone was given proper treatment to their characters and roles. Will always be grateful to this individual for what they created. Kylo is way better in this story. Rey has depth. Just awesome. Still holding onto hope that someone outside of Disney (fan film maybe) can show an accurate portrayal of the yuuzhan vong going up against the NJO. It could be epic and have elements of a horror film, as they are frightening and way more of a threat to the jedi

It’s such a good story! He already made the next episode (aka episode 8) and it’s even better

This is the type of story that someone can tell when they don't start with a mandate of sidelining Luke, Leia and Han and the storyteller obviously cares a great deal for continuing the already existing story rather than winning political points.

Imagine if anyone writing the Disney movies actually liked Star Wars.

its depressing how much better this is than what we actually got

I imagine in an alternate universe the sequel trilogy is an absolute triumph and Disney is rolling in cash in perpetuity because of the extremely happy fanbase. I wish I could be excited about Star Wars again. It's all so hopeless.

This is bittersweet. I’m blown we didn’t get something that truly pays homage to GLSW. I want to go back and love the sequels but I can’t. As Anakin once said, I want more. I want more with these characters, properly executed.

Theory I would love for you to literally write your own fan made sequel trilogy. I feel you are the only one capable and dedicated enough to fill the hole in Star Wars fan’s hearts that Disney left. I can’t imagine how amazing it would be.

Now that was: THE FORCE AWAKENS Dude was paid zero dollar for that EPIC story. “Make it make sense!” 🤬

Man let me tell you all, all three of the videos of this series are some of the best story telling of any Star Wars since George Lucas 70s-80s Star Wars films. It is that good.

This is just so damned good! THIS is the sequel trilogy we needed, it is what the fans deserved. So many moments where we see Luke, Leia and Han together in one episode. And the new characters are more rounded and developed!

These ai generated images are sick, they really enhance the story telling

Dude this is so good, starting the movie with the new Jedi would have given us a fresh perspective, and then Ben burning it down would be mirroring order 66. “It’s like poetry, it rhymes.” Also, the story beats are very similar to Episode 1: Jedi temple, Sith return, mentor dies….

It's amazing what stories a real fan can come up with as opposed to the "professionals" who just want to push an agenda.

The series is amazing! Best fan fiction production I’ve seen in awhile.

Prism did a fantastic job with his rewriting of ep 7&8. Craziest part was it only took him a couple of weeks to write the final scripts. Disneys failure is now fully complete. This will bring on many fan fiction that will be far better then what they gave us. Do your story swt I can only imagine it will be far better than what we got

Geez, this is what we deserved from Disney. I teared up more than once. It’s gripping, it tells the story of the characters that we love, and didn’t stray too far from what we know. Incredible stuff man

I liked that he didn’t create his own canon but reworked what they tried to tell. It’s levels better then the sequels we got. Amazing what good writing and care for characters do. Ps. It’s a great idea theory to tell ff with ai art giving visuals to the story.

People always made fun of fanfiction, but the truth is that there are a lot of masterpieces out there and those are most definitely worth reading. It baffles me that noone ever uses them as inspiration. That said, the biggest problem with fanfiction is that quite a lot of them are unfinished...

I watched this about a month ago and was stunned by how good it was.

Better than the sequels we got. Yes, I'd love to hear your fan fic with AI art. 🤣I see Po tweeking but in my mind I hear Shaggy panicking.

Better than anything Disney has done. That's a blockbuster right there.

I'm so glad this is picking up attention from other Star Wars channels... "What if Last Jedi was Awesome" is GREAT too.. It's so much better and I can't wait for the next video.

Why couldn’t we have gotten something more like this? Even with Poe jacked up on acid, it’s 50 times better! Rey wouldn’t have been so hated if they’d made her what she was meant to be……a Palpatine! This is so great! Yes, you definitely should make something like this!

Man this shows how good AI can be used to storyboard something. Enjoyed this, so if you were to do your voice overs, i'd def watch.

Jesus why don't we have writers like this at Lucas Films

Thanks for taking time to check it out man. Really enjoy your content. Much Love :)

This is roughly like what i would've thought of when I was 6 in 2005. Of course not is such depth but this is how our stories would play out with my friends and out action figures.

“Rey fights Ben. Ben is outmatched in every way” I guess some things never change

wow incredible writing. you partnering with this person and creating an entire fan faction which could be voice acted would be great!

Man, I'm happy I have a visual oriented mind rn. I just imagine Han with a lightsaber in his chest still looking like a badass just nodding to Luke and saying "I know" the same way he did when he frozen when leia said I love you. Then Luke only nodding back with 2 tears in his eye's, running off.

You definitely should do your own fan fiction. It would be light years better than anything Disney puts out.

That, was so good I actually teared up a bit when Han died, in disney's I just sat there dumbstruck that they actually killed him, plus you see it coming from a mile away, it sucked. This tho, would of been a fantastic film minus the star forge part since that was destroyed and all that but I digress. Excellent work and hats off to the creators of this fine piece of true soul of star wars art!

I just watched it this week! You gotta watch part 2 because it is also good. I don't agree with Luke's decision to go after Rey instead of saving Han, but other than that it is really good. The creator has clearly thought things out ahead of time, unlike Disney.

Damn! I got chills when Luke talked to Anakin, goddamn this is leaps and bounds way better than what Disney did. Disney should be ashamed . This is a movie I would had loved to see!

One of the best star wars videos ive ever seen those stories are amazing

Someone needs remake episodes 7/8/9 using animation. It would blow up. I wouldn’t mind seeing all the same characters but in different roles like in this video

Wow, I would love to see this. Side note, the fan fiction with your narration would be a good idea.

i just discovered this gem. Han's exchange with Ben during his final moments actually brought me to tears)): "No just you son... Just you..." Disney get your shit together, this is Star Wars.

This would have been SOOOOOO much better. Why couldn't we have gotten something like this?!?

Dude please make a full fanfic for how you’d have written the sequel trilogy

Now this would've been well written. I remember being super confused watching TFA, thinking why are the good guys still rebels?

The Song at 12:02 is from the The Tuskin Raider Camp where Anakin went to Rescue his mom in Attack of the Clones

I’d love to see your story with AI images! As silly as they can be they help bring it to life for sure

Been watching ai presidents and it’s funny af and some content have great storylines, definitely consider doing this type of content Theory but be careful, it’s like Mace using the Dark side.

I can't wait to see your versions of this kind of What If story!!!

I heard this, and the sequel, a couple weeks ago. I started telling everybody who cared about Star Wars, about it. For me, this is the true Canon. This is exactly what happened, after George Lucas's first Star Wars trilogy. This is the truth.

Watching this makes you both sad and angry. You realize what could have been, and just how badly the sequels were screwed up. Thanks Kathleen.

This is great! Kinda prefer my version a bit better, maybe I'll finally write it down. Isn't it a travesty that we will be forever left with what could have been.

They brought in the freaking STAR FORGE!!!! That has Reven written all over it. This would have been SO much better, and would have tied in the high republic and set us up for a possible Revan return. OMG this is both awesome and infuriating.

This was super interesting. I really wish we got this. I was extremely interested in what would happen next and enjoyed the direction so much more then what we got.

Rey is a sith. This alone makes it better. And the way han solo dies for his boy is a much better shocking death. This is the true power for having someone who actually loves and respects the setting

I sincerely hope someone with some AI technology or graphic design capabilities, remakes these movies because the storyline is so much better than anything we saw from Disney…. please please please please please!!!

Had hairs standing up within the first 2 mins, and i think that AI voice is pretty good, thanks man this is so much better ! And yes if you could make some fan fic like this, I cant imagine your viewers wouldnt love it

The fact we got stormtroopers and jedi in the movie is brilliant.

Definitely create a version of your own sequel trilogy with the narration

This version was so good I immediately showed two of my best friends, it’s all we talked about for weeks. The second one dropped a few weeks ago

This is good, really good! I like how it takes things that were brought to us by the real sequels, the Force Awakens, in this case, but adds so much to it. Content, scenarios, a few really cool twists and turns. Surprisingly, I kinda want to believe that this could have been done and brought to the big screen. Well, not this story line, no. But something like it. I also like how there are hints, here and there, that point towards some of the books that tell the story after the Return of the Jedi (now considered EU). Not too much on the Thrawn-trilogy, yet. I wonder if he's going to make an appearance in the next What ifs.. I remember reading about a sun killer or something in one of them... I was so confused! Had a good laugh too. That sleeping spell... A little odd for Star Wars, I'll admit (though, Theory's reaction was priceless!). I think the creator of this was going for the Force ability that Kylo Ren used on Rey, I think it was on their first encounter? And yes! Would definitely love to see some of your fan fictions, Theory, done in this manner! Though, I agree, the AI voice over is a little... Meh. But other than that, a cool concept!

Dude….I hope Bob Iger sees this and realizes this could still be done. Using cgi/deepfake and such. It’s a perfect win/win in my opinion. It gives Star Wars the respect and treatment it deserves, it doesn’t alienate any of the fandom, it doesn’t denigrate and spit on the cast of the sequels. It allows literally everyone involved in all of Star Wars to have one huge unified win. Literally brings all of the fandom, all of the casts, together, in a way that honors everything and everyone in Star Wars. I know it won’t happen. But..man..what it could be.

Really good video. In some ways it reminds me of your old star wars what if scenarios.

The mini lightsaber the stormtrooper is holding at 4:50 is freaking hilarious 😆

Please watch the next one. I watched these right as they came out, and they’re fantastic

18 mins of this WAS better than all the Disney Movies! OMG, i felt the death of Han Solo in this!

This is such a better story. Yes you should absolutely do this.

It's not a perfect script, but it is Star Wars at the core. Which is all we ever really ask for.

Let’s hope the mandalorian joins the new republic fight. Maybe this affects him as much as it does Poe, Finn, and Ben Swolo. And later Rey Palpatine.

On its own the force awakens is a perfect movie, considering the fact that most of the gripes that people have with it come from issues from the next to movies, I would say on its own it is a perfect movie

I had already seen this " AND LOVED IT "and was interested to see what you had to say about it. After seeing your reactions during your program which i would say (were very childish with your LAUGHING AND YAWNING.) Then saying "SHOULD I MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS." "Your a Day Late and a Dollar Short" Buddy. I can tell that you know "You've Been OUT CLASSED."

a father/mentorship triangle wouldve been so compelling, luke is bens master and han is jealous but han is poes mentor and ben is jealous are you freaking kidding me its too good

1:54 I love this detail. The sequels certainly didn't need to go overboard with having as many Jedi around in the galaxy during this time as there was during the prequels (tens of thousands), but having barely three around (counting Yoda ) is old and tired as well.

I watched all three of these videos; I was hooked. I must admit that I got a little emotional in parts too.

This is great and yes you should do this too! I would love to hear your stories!

This was actually good. Really enjoyed listing to this. But this is the exact reason a true fan needs to be in charge of star wars. So we get gripping stories like this. That make sense. Man this was so refreshing. Truly.

I listend to all three and it is the perfect bridging trilogy introducing new characters and setting up a new trilogy. Rey and Ben's arcs were more emotional, the while thing was just conflixt,.conflict, conflict and it was absolutely brilliant.

The soundtrack is from when Obi wan and Anakin are talking about his dreams in padme’s apartment. Brownie points pls ☺️

Would love to hear your own rendition of the sequel !! I had wrote one after watching episode 9 out of spite but my keep points were that the Emperor used the clone technology used from the war to make several clones of him self. Rey being one 😜 you are free to use that

I want him to react to the continuation of this What if? Series!

I would actually like if you make stories like these, i've been watching Pente's stories. You should watching the 2hr long stories he has it's so great and captivating

I think you should do something like this, but do it like an old radio play with voice actors and a narrator to fill in the details.

I would love you doing a series like this.

I would love to see how your take on this style of fanfic would be!

I stumbled across this last week. The pictures are a bit goofy at times, but the story and music make up for it. It's always embarrassing when fans write a better story than what we got.

You should totally do content like you suggested! I’d love that

1 minute in… already better than Disney’s entire time with the license.

i’ve been watching these and they are great. the last jedi could have been so much more than what we got.

He heard a voice saying a few cold mysterious words, it was the emperor “do it”

Literally got chills as soon as Anakins force ghost Speaks to Luke👏 just beautiful..

1:03 lol ... I had the same reaction as you did!

I like to make it in my head canon that the fan made sequel Han, Luke. And Leia are called Harry, Jake, and Carrie. Who resemble older versions of the original trilogy protagonists. Except that they witness the fall of the republic and recently witness the fall of the empire. And so far. There are imperial remnants who are mixed opinion on dealing with the new republic. Maybe even two new republics of the galaxy. Aurebesh. And Lukas. Aurebesh is the main new republic of the old legends universe. Lukas is based on the new republic of Disney canon. But it has more backstory and details than the actual sequels could. And so there’s two new republics and the real Han, leia, and Luke are dealing with enemy imperial remnants. And the older trio are out there wanting their new republic for the future of their citizens. And these people are our young upstart protagonists. Poe. pilot fanboy of Han Solo and student of the old Harry. Ben Swolo. Distant cousin of Han Solo. Who had his force powers when he was an infant and was sent to the Jedi temple as a youngling. and hid during order 66 and the imperial rule. His deep hatred of the empire wanted his inner force to be let out. This caused him to get into trouble with the empire and had inquisitors hunting him down. But Jake Hamill. A former Jedi master who hid from order 66 after the clones killed his Jedi friends and militia. A militia made of republic mercenaries and not clone troopers. A friend of Rahm Kota. Who is with the force after the battle of Yavin. Trained Luke to hone his Jedi student skills and after Cloud City, he helped him reconstruct a new lightsaber and convinced him to make a new Jedi order that is different from the old Jedi order. He trained Ben Swolo in the ways of the force. He had dark side inbedded with him. That maybe some Jedi order guidance would make him disciplined. He was a proud Jedi. In the post Palpatine era. Son of an alderaan curator. Carrie. Carrie kept some of the artifacts that originated from Alderaan. And after Alderaan’s destruction, she vowed to make the empire pay and also hunted down culture and treasures that were apart of Alderaan. Even used the Dragon Balls to wish for a new Alderaan. However though. It cannot recreate an obliterated planet prior to its destruction. Instead. It can recreate a new earth like planet. And so a new Alderaan had to be made from scratch. And had the surviving alderaan people to come here. Set a few years after Palpatine’s death. As well as after the battle of Jakku where it formed the new republic of Lukas. This sort of story can make both sequel fans and post return Jedi fans of legends universe happy too.

Here’s how the sequel era should have gone: Phase 1: film adaptations of the Thrawn trilogy. - Heir to the Empire = Episode 7 - Dark Force Rising = Episode 8 - The Last Command = Episode 9 This would have paid homage to the EU and delighted longtime fans by bringing beloved EU characters like Thrawn, Mara Jade, and Jaina and Jacen Solo to film. Yes they would have had to recast Luke, Han, and Leia but I think audiences would have accepted that because the stories are so good. And Hamill, Ford, and Fisher could have appeared in flash-forward cameos. Phase 2: new stories Now that Lucasfilm had brought several of the most popular characters and stories from the EU to film with respect and care, fans would have been much more open to new stories. Andor, Rogue One, the Mandalorian, Rebels, and maybe Ahsoka could have all still existed with likely minimal differences. We could have also gotten a story similar to the video above, with the original actors for Luke, Han, and Leia; Mara Jade fighting alongside Luke, and a grown Jaina and Jacen…alongside new ideas like the First Order, Snoke, and Rey. (Rey = Jaina, kidnapped as a child and turned to the dark side?) The point is, Lucasfilm could have gotten much better stories and made the transition to SOME new canon a lot smoother had they phased in the new content instead of throwing the entire EU in the garbage.

Really enjoyed this story. Wish Disney would have put more effort into creating something similar. A story that actually makes sense.
