Star Wars Theory I still like to think Luke was the chosen one. But I like the idea that being the chosen one is not a birthright but a goal. And that any Jedi who shows great potential can be dubbed the chosen one
It's so meaningful leaving Anakin as the chosen one, how he redeems himself. If it is in fact Rey, isn't the previous history of the galaxy irrelevant(Everything until Force Awakens)? What makes the grey Jedi better than the Jedi, just beliefs? Why should that choose or change the fate of the Galaxy because a way of thinking or practicing belief. In a way think about it there's only good or evil, don't be on the fence. Lastly Luke most likely won't be like the old Jedi, he uses his emotions and cares for his friends, Using any power for good.
Star Wars Theory This makes a lot of sense, especially in the context of Luke's comment in TLJ about the Jedi coming to an end. For true balance to be maintained, an end to the sith means an end to the Jedi and vice versa.
Star Wars Theory i always thought the force was unbalanced because there were 10,000 jedi knights and only 2 Sith lords so when Anakin turned to the dark side and only left a few stragglers then the force was more imbalanced
Qui-gon: "The boy must be trained!" Mace: "Why?" Q: "To bring balance to the force." M: "How many Sith are there?" Q: "Two, of course." M: "And how many Jedi?" Q: "Millions stretched across the galax-oooooooohhhhhhhhh I see! Whelp, sorry kiddo, back to Space Australia for you."
The Force has no light or dark side, it simply is. It is an energy present in all things. How one interacts with the Force is based entirely on self principle. Use the Force for personal gain, or allow the Force to guided ones actions. The balance of the Force has nothing to do with the number of active Jedi vs. active Sith. I leave you with a quote from Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn: *_"Life does not treat you fairly or unfairly, it merely is. It is up to each of us to be fair, or unfair"_*
Do "What were R2-D2's thoughts and feelings after seeing Anakin turn to the dark side on Mustafar?" I know hes a droid but has been with Anakin all his life so he must have felt something, he isnt stupid.
dude force is in all being not just living beings even droids so since R2 was force sensitive he could sense emotion through the force lin yen chin is right
my interpretation always was that everyone thought that they missinterpreted the provecy because ani turned dark. so they guessed well, maybe luke is the chosen one. but eventually darth vader would kill palpatin and himself - so the provecy was still true because he destroyed the last sith, speaking himself. of course the disney-trilogy is distroying vader’s storyline by completly ignoring his sacrifice at the end of Return of the Jedi
the Disney Sequels are not canon for me and millions of fans. Everything up to Episode 6 + Rogue One is canon for sure, but all that Disney has done with the franchise feels like an entertaining fan fiction at best, which is why they can't even concisely explain why palpatine was back in episode 9 or who snoke was. it all seems to be made by stupid ignorant SJW's reddit users who plan the script as they go and have to enphasize female power through the sequels.
the disney canon is not my canon, my canon is everything that George Lucas created, creatively participated in a significant enough way or approved expressing a greater than average taste and now we know that in the real sequels Darth Maul survive and trained Darth Talon and Leia become the new chosen one, i think the prophecy will remain ambiguous because also in the tales of the jedi comics the sith are destroyed by a group of jedi and not just one, also is not clear if the balance of the force it's refer to the light side or the balance between light and dark, i think Lucas explained it in both versions
Disco has anybody noticed that C-3PO has outlasted *almost* everybody since The Phantom Menace? Obi wan, Anakin/Vader, Palpatine, Han Solo (born during clone wars?), Boba Fett (cloned about 10years after phantom menace ?) And even Yoda! (Died before battle of Endor) R2-D2 has also outlasted them all...
I agree the part: '' He will destroy the sith"" is made up by the jedi. The chosen one will bring balance to the force and he did. The jedi were on the path to darkness so Anakin kill them. At the end he killed the emperor so balance was restored and the prophecy was fulfilled
i think the prophecy is ambiguous, i'm not sure if that part was there originally, the sith have one too and it's not the first time the sith are defeated by the jedi, in the real sequels Leia becomes the new chosen one, i think that the concept of the balance of the force is also unclear, Lucas explained it like the light side and sometimes like the balance between light and dark, if we have in count the whills it becomes pretty messy
I believe by the Jedi's interpretation of "balance," Anakin is the Chosen one, as he destroyed the final Sith. That is, however, from one point of view.
The galaxy would be a better place for the first two. Not sure about the second one and Ashoka would've been jailed or on the run from the law and Barris would probably be killed durring order sixty six taking any evidence she did it with her so nothing to galactic altering.
Darth Vader 1. I think the galaxy would be worse, since the Son wanted to rule it with Anakin. But if you mean after the Son died, then i think palpatine would rule "forever", since order 66 would still happen but the chosen one wouldn't be there. 2. I think either Anakin would turn sooner to the dark side, since he lost his mom on episode 2 too, or everything would play just the same, only difference being for what motive he'd turn (to revive padme/his mom). And obviously Luke/Leia wouldn't exist. 3. Someone would've caught him (i think) 4. Ahsoka would still be "guilty". Roughtly the same
The chosen one was destined to bring balance to the force. In order for something to be balanced, it must be neutral, an equal amount of everything. Due to the rule of two implemented by Darth Bane, the Sith were already reduced to such an extent that in order to balance the light and dark sides of the force, one of two things had to occur, either the Sith would have to grow in numbers to an immense degree (which the Jedi would never have allowed), or the Jedi would have to be Reduced to such a degree, as to be on a level playing field with the Sith. Anakin did the latter, and when later on during the Galactic Civil War, Obi-wan and Yoda had died, he finally balanced the force by brining down both himself and the Emperor on the Second Death Star, leaving only Luke and Leia, with Snoke lurking somewhere in the Universe.
Blazer212 to “balance” the Force required an entire Galaxy to be at war, hundreds of millions dead, and the Jedi Order to be destroyed. All for the sake of balance?
Blazer212 Balance has nothing to do with numbers. The Sith has been corrupting the force for well over a thousand years and under plagueis and sidious this was taken to another level. To claim the force was balanced when the most powerful Sith ever had supreme power in the galaxy, after over a decade of draining the life force from planets, enslaving people, gathering Darkside power etc is just ludicrous.
I find it interesting that Anakin/Vader was about bringing balance and he himself was on the edge between shifting between Sith and Jedi that only Luke could feel and his balance shifted from dark to light and he killed the sith master and it was just 2 lights now with him and Luke where it had just been 2 dark and 1 light; of course he almost immedietely dies leaving 1 light with Luke. Again, Anakin was born to balance and he was balancing inbetween the sides...hmm.
Luke disrupts the balance. Before Luke leaves Tatooine, there are two Jedi and two Sith... they each even had comparable power levels to their counterparts. Then the combined efforts of Vader's two kids get Obi-Wan killed, the balance is gone, and only briefly returns when Luke is trained by Yoda....who dies almost immediately lol. So the only way there could be balance at the end of ROTJ is if Luke is, in fact, a Gray Jedi. Or possibly there is another Sith wandering around somewhere.
Overkill, but then anakins turn probably wouldnt of happened and also palpatine would still be hidden, as anakin wouldnt be there to tell windu hes a sith.
The chosen one will realize the truth about everything, that there's neither light nor dark, jedi nor sith, the chosen one isnt luke or anakin, and may not even be rey, unless she realizes that both sides must be used to achieve balance.
I believe balance will only exist when neither the Sith or the Jedi exist, Luke knows this and is why he is unwilling to create another Jedi order. The Jedi exist only to combat the darkness and the darkness only exists because of the Jedi (Jedi turning to dark side in the first place). Balance can only be achieved with no force users or middle ground force users like the giant in the new season of Star Wars Rebels.
I like the idea of the prophecy dating back to the First Great Schism because it shows that the Jedi wanted balance from day one. It shows that when darkness comes, there is always the hope of light. Sadly, when that hope was realized, the Jedi were too blind to see it. Instead of aiding their "Chosen One" and giving him the support he needed, they attempted to fit him into their mold, thereby thrusting their interpretation of the prophecy onto him. Yoda and Mace Windu both attempt caution with regard to the prophecy, but their willful disregard for the heart of the man they were using as a means to their ends cost them everything - even as they hailed him as the chosen one. And just as in the First Great Schism, when Skywalker felt the Jedi Order was too dogmatic and that he had no support, he turned to the only side of the Force that he felt was available to him. And so darkness fell, just as it had fallen before, yet the hope of light remained as long as the Chosen One still lived.
You know it would be great if someone made a Star Wars MMO RPG for Xbox One and PS4. Would be cool if it was open world and you could pick your race,class,whether you force sensitive or not,as well as your homeworld which will be where you begin the main story. If you were a Jedi you start before becoming a Padawan and if you pick Sith you start as an apprentice or maybe sometime before leaving the Jedi Order or before you are found by the Sith. If yoy pick the backstory where you are found by the Sith it states you can't control your abilities due to your young age and you killed a group of people who important to whatever planet you decide to start on You could also be a Dark Jedi or Gray Jedi. If you are not force sensitive you get to pick from a bunch of different classes like Bounty Hunter for example. And depending on what class you pick you get a different story. For example if you pick Sith the story involves you training to become a master while killing Jedi and being hunted by Jedi or Bounty Hunters depending on what backstory you pick.
"In a time of great despair, a child shall be born" sure seems like it would be Luke, unless something particularly awful was going on when Anakin was born...
I mean like there were 2 Sith (Vader and Palpatine), and after many of the Jedi were killed, only 2 remained (Obi Wan and Yoda, since I think the other survivors are non-canon now.) So I don't know, feels pretty balanced to me lol.
Here's the thing: If, when there were thousands of Jedi and 1 or 2 Sith, the Force still saw fit to use midichlorians to father its Chosen One, then the Force clearly felt that it[self] was out of balance and that the Prophecy needed to be fulfilled. Evil isn't just a separate-but-equally-valuable side to "good"----- there's good, and then there's the perversion of it. Homicide, bloodlust, total selfishness...... not necessary to the harmonious functioning of the universe 🤷🏽♂️
As you said, he did bring balance to the force. There were like two sith and hundreds of Jedi. By the end of the prequel trilogy, there were two sith and two Jedi in the films.
Luke: it's time for the Jedi to end. Literally my first thought: oh, so Rey's gonna b a gray Jedi. I wonder who's gonna teach--AHSOKA! I mean, we've never really seen an old Togruta. They could conceivably live as long as a Wookie...
Anakin was the Chosen One! Not that he does everything right but he is "chosen" for the task. Anakin started as the slave and worked as the servant among the Jedi and Sith.
Very interesting video, it's as if the "chosen one" was more acting like a metaphor for the Jedi Order to both responsabilize themselves and put their trust into Anakin wich they both choose not to do. In fact the only ones who did that were Qui Gonn, Obi-Wan (somehow) and definitely Luke. I'm still amazed how much George Lucas two trilogies influenced so many creators and thoughts to elaborate this universe
Obi-Wan was forced to train the kid by the dying breath of Qui-Gon. He never fully trusted Anakin and he failed him as a master, just as the entire Jedi order failed him, which is why he was willing to fight him to death instead of reaching a helping hand to his friend. he was just as corrupt and proud as the Jedi Order, and thdoughout episodes 2, clone wars and 3 we can see how he's always reprising him and telling him he's wrong and giving him a hard time when all Anakin needed was a father figure to which he could talk to and trust (specially since that last struggle with padme's death he needed to talk about it with someone but all the jedi did was turn their cold backs to him and tell him that his emotions were a path to the dark side)
What if Yoda truly trained Obi wan. So what I am saying is what you did with your what if darth maul was a Jedi. So Obi wan is yoda's real padawan. I feel this would change a lot Obi wan would be more powerful and wise please do this
John Zhou IDK it doesn't matter. BECAUSE Obi wan says to luke that Yoda trained him which is sort of true but not really so I want to see is what if Yoda really trained Obi wan.
What was up with that one clone wars episode where they went to the planet with the old man and his two kids? That was never clear to me and Netflix is expensive
Pilfered Memes I assume you're referring to Mortis and The Ones. So there was The Father, The Son, and The Daughter (and the mother who I really hope remains cannon, really interesting stuff there). The Son represents the dark side, it is his nature, he has no choice. The Daughter represents the light side, it's her nature she has no choice. They are so powerful with the force that if they were to go out into the galaxy they would be like gods. The Father would by default represent the middle ground. He essentially has imprisoned his children on Mortis to protect them from themselves and to protect the galaxy from them. The Father brings Anakin (and obi wan and ahsoka) to Mortis because it is his belief that Anakin will fulfill the prophecy by taking his place and keeping his children on Mortis and in balance with each other. All pretty solid reasoning on The Fathers part and if Anakin had stayed it prolly would have worked out. Does not happen that way. Anakin prolly thought there was too Much sand on Mortis. With everyone's imbalances emotions The Son became a bit too powerful and a bit to excited and tried to kill off The father. The daughter got in the way and the son had a good cry about accidentally killing his sister. Then went right back to trying to off the father. Eventually all of them are dead and Anakin says "lol can't balance the force if there's no force to balance" fist bumps Bendu and rides off into the sunset. So basically what happened in this arc: domestic violence. There didn't seem to be a real effect on the force after the death of the ones, which is weird given the reactions had by everyone. I think if the son had remained we would have seen a significant shift. But you would think after that arc Yoda would have been all "mmm a disturbance I sense. The force, cries it does. A great loss, this day has had". But everyone's seems really unaffected, so in terms of effect on the story, not a whole lot happened here. There were plot points, and character development, but there was no real story effect, which I still find a bit disapointing.
I have been watching this show for about 4-5 months now and everything this guys puts in his videos is so convincing I love watching them all. Especially the one where he theorizes about anakin liking sand lol.
"Destroy the sith and bring balance". You could interpret that a couple of different ways. As two separate events or two parts of the same event. I lean towards achieving balance was reducing the Jedi down to two and destroyed the sith when he tossed the emperor. Obi might need more credit than he receives for the prophecy to come true. Had it been me either out of sympathy or a sense of justice..... Anakin wouldn't have survived that duel. Instead he leaves his fate up to the force. Who knows what would have happened if he killed him.
no, lucas said balance is no dark side, only light as the dark side is a corrupted light side. essentially dark side is fake light side so it needs to be destroyed
Hi Toos, Thanks so much for your amazing Star Wars channel. I am an avid Star Wars fan and have been for the majority of my life from the time I was little. With that said however, their so much on the Star Wars universe that I don’t know that much about, as my focus is generally always more on just enjoying all the awesome movies that have been made so far, as well as action figures and a few of the comics. But since I found you’re channel, I’m learning so many cool and interesting new things about the universe, some that I had a little knowledge on and other things that I had no idea about. It is really cool to learn about all these new details within the world of Star Wars and to explore all the interesting theories that are out their about our favourite characters, battles and storylines. It’s actually increased my love of Star Wars even more. I also wanted to take this opportunity to say that I commend you on the level of creativity that you put into you’re videos, they are always fun, relaxing and cool to listen to and to watch. I also feel that you yourself have a really awesome voice that goes really well with Star Wars. The narration of your videos together with the music, sound and visuals is always great and I appreciate how you do you’re best to bring life to the characters in each narration. Thank you again Toos for your continuing creative efforts. Keep up the good work. May The Force Be With You. Kind regards Edward.
In legends, Regan knew of the prophecy and knew it was going to be Anakin. In the unfinished last Clone Wars season, his dark half shares that. It is also mentioned by Revan in kotor and swtor
Balance of the force is the light, the light keeps the force in balance, in check. While the Dark Side breaks that balance and uses it like a tool instead of an omnipotent entity that flows through all life.
would love to see you revisit this critical lore question. The prophecy is the heart of the star wars story. I think its quite clear, and Lucas' intention, that balance means the sith are destroyed
Gary Jones probably from a cival structure point of view considering the death star was not only a weapon but a mobile city as well. but from a military perspective was a general.
Everybody read 'Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn'. Its not Star Wars, but it has some very similar elements, and completely changed how I view the Chosen One prophesy.
I think balance to the force means people aren’t using one side, but both sides, of the force. I think it’s unbalanced when one focuses on only one side. And I think that will happen at the end of Rise or SKYWALKER.
I think after Yoda died palpatine had to die because they were practically equals and vader had to die because he was more powerful than luke leaving balance between luke and a later snoke who act as the two highest of both sides with a couple of twists evening it all out
So really interesting video to me. The whole bringing balance thing at the end makes me think that, that is where this whole new series is actually leading into. That Anakin/Darth Vader got rid of the two older sides/beliefs that only the one of them could rule and gave rise to this new generation in which light and dark are in harmony. That one cannot exist without the other for balance
It'd be interested to see Disney doing a prequel movie to The Phantom Menace that revolves around Darth Plageus attempting to create a Sith super weapon, and the Force rejecting Plageus and finding Shme Skywalker to create Anakin. Jedi with seer abilities predicting The Chosen One.
I think that Anikan was the was and is the chosen one. Was he reckless? Yes. Did he fall? Probably harder than any other. However; in a weird sense, turning to the Darth side and going so far into it amplified the entire prophecy of him bringing balance. Now that doesn't mean that it was necessary. But at the same time going so far gave him so much to overcome. Him being born on the force inevitably gave him two children that were pure and good. Their very exsistance represented hope. Where as he was the complete lack of it. So by the end of his journey he no only brought balance to the force he brought balance to himself. It's so symbolic when he saves Luke. It wasn't just his son he was saving. He was keeping the balance in both his own life ,and now that he realized how far the dark side spread , restored that balance to the Galaxy
This was amazing because I have the Jedi path book and I always wondered why nobody changed the lighting because they did actually write underneath the black marks
I am in a group called JSL (JediSithLords). We have studied the chosen one prophecy and concluded this: the chosen one will bring balance to the Force. The Jedi had their version that the chosen one would destroy the Sith. But the Sith had their own chosen one prophecy. Their prophecy states that a Sith Lord will bring the Sith to power again and bring back a rain to the Sith. Who was the one to bring the Sith back to power? Darth Vader. The theory is that both the Jedi and the Sith need each other to exist. Without the Sith the Jedi became corrupt like in the films. The Sith would destroy themselfs without the Jedi witch is what happened right before Darth Bane came into the picture. The point is the Sith could not be destroyed without the Jedi being destroyed. The Chosen One is not Light or Dark, he is both, yet nieghter. This is the theory that we at JSL came up with. Let me know what you think. Also, what do you think StarWarsTheory?
Cody Brubaker that would mean that it was Anakin/Vader because at the very moment he brought balance to the force by being neither good nor evil he was good because of the deed and saving Luke but still had hate revenge and a red lightsaber and brought down to sith to account for yoda and obi wans death
Cody Brubaker I can see that considering the research I've done about aboloth in attempt to get her one sith kid and Jedi kid to stop fighting she went to both Nexus points can't remember the name of the planet aborbed from one light and one dark Nexus and became the grotesque creature she became. personaly I would of liked to seen Anakin vs her before his decent to the dark side it would be a demonstration of how strong mind body focus and faith and spiritually because if you think about it when he became Vader and dawned on the suit he kinda was using a crutch system both mentally and physically. be disturbingly funny though to see a 900lb Vader in a rascal scooter
Cody Brubaker Vader destoyed the Sith; Rey was then born as the dark's chosen one... That's why she's perfect and Kylo struggles with the dark side, they pulled the flip on us.
Well done! I really like your notion about "balance" coming down to an equation: two jedi and two sith. i think you're onto something. I'm going to see "The Last Jedi" tomorrow; can't wait to see how they deal with the question of balance.
The fact that the prophecy mentioned Mortis suggests that the jedi who wrote down the prophecy made an error in writing it, especially concerning their own roles and that of the dark side. In the Mortis arc, as well as in the Priestesses of the Whills arc of the Clone Wars, the dark side is shown as being a part of the Force, not an aberration of it. Mortis itself probably represented the actual balance of the Force as it was meant to be, one light, one dark, and one to keep the balance. The mistake was in the Jedi assuming the role of the balance, perhaps showing a bit of arrogance, as the passage you read certainly felt as if the author believed in the infallibility of the Jedi. If we take the prophecy and match it with Mortis, we see that The Chosen One wasn't necessarily meant to destroy the dark side. A balance could be maintained, despite the Light and dark trying to destroy each other, if the third power acted from beyond, or encompassing both the light and the dark. When the Daughter (light) died on Mortis, the Son (the dark) grew in power, until the Father (the balance) destroyed both himself and the dark, leaving the scales of power balanced but empty. This would again be repeated by Anakin, who destroyed the Jedi and the Sith, leaving the force in balance, with his son existing as neither, despite his own words at the end. Later stories in the EU also dealt with the prophecy, so we will have to see how the Disney canon compares as it deals with a galaxy growing unbalanced again.
Balance in the force is when the Jedi embrace both reason (light side) and emotion (dark side). As obi wan did when he avenged qui-gon, as Luke did when he faced off Vader on episode 6. As historically when stoics thought they did not need emotion, and when hedonists don't think rationally. Truth is Reason plus emotion, mind plus heart.
I think it's so friggin dang stupid if Rey became the chosen one cause she has nothing to do with anakin being the chosen one. Anakin was the chosen one. Not Rey!!!
Bosco Biggs one the newest theory's is Rey is basically a interpretation of the force having a big metaphorical fleash wound that's really big and nasty
I have spent the past idk how many days watching all of you videos i think im halfway through them now and all i can say is man you bring this to life im a big fan of starwars and have not found one person who can do it like u can man keep doing it ur videos bring light to a dark world man and i just hope one day i can comment on a video in time to win one of those sabers but besides that i havnt commented on much because im just to fascinated by your videos i get lost and my whole day is gone watching ur vids man and make any day even better
I think chosen means someone who will destroy the sith, and Anakin did it, remember after Obi Wan cut Anakin's hand and legs, he said "you were the chosen one. it was said that you will destroy the sith not join them", Obi Wan never knew that He would destroy the sith until Anakin did it
LoneWolf the furry Yeah she knows the millenium falcon better than it's owner. Makes great sense. Plus you can't just fight a force user without any training and win. Damn stupid.
I'm sure it may seem stupid when you don't stop to think about it... As for the Falcon, she knows it because she did repairs and modifications on it while it was on Jakku, and Han wasn't in posession of it for even longer and certainly doesn't know the new things and changes.
Darth Jesus what are talking about it was someone's else ships not rey why the hell whould she be doing repairs on a ship that isn't hers? Not once in the movie did she say she was even been on the ship before.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR FOR THIS! I have been asking for months about a story where Anikan DID fulfill the prophecy by balancing the Jedi/Sith numbers. He did in fact bring balance to the force
Yes he is. When Anakin turned to the dark side, there's only 2 jedi (Obi-wan and Yoda) and 2 Sith (Sidious and Darth Vader himself). That's balance. And on episode VI Anakin kill Sidious. He's the chosen one.
MuscleSheriff Agreed. So many people want the Dark Side to be natural, but it's been repeatedly stated to not be. It's an aberration of the Force FROM its natural state. Power comes with a cost. When you talk to people that support the "gray" view, it becomes clear they just want the best of both worlds without there being a danger or penalty to it
I have a video request, In Revenge Of The Sith, Count Dooku drops a piece of metal on Obi- Wan during their fight. After defeating the Dooku, Anikin was told to leave Obi- Wan on the ship. There was not enough time to save him and Palpatine. How would this have played into the Star Wars timeline?
