Star Wars Theory ·

2023/07/29

In Star Wars Return of the Jedi, George Lucas and his team discussed the early treatment of the story and its characters, namely, Luke Skywalker. A good debate transcript from 1981-82 reveals Geroge Lucas' response to Lawrence Kasdan when proposed to kill Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi. George has an eloquent way of discussing the matter as to why he feels that would not be the best thing at all. We also get a glimpse into an alternate ending to Return of the Jedi with Vader's cape getting

George Lucas Says Vader Beats Yoda in a Fight...

Star Wars Theory ·

2023/07/29

In an original discussion regarding The Return of the Jedi, George Lucas tells Lawrence Kasdan a few things about Yoda and the force, including, how Vader would kill Yoda in a fight. This was pre Return of the Jedi. Now of course Yoda's abilities changed later in the prequels with Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan, Dooku, Ahsoka, Palpatine and more, but it's interesting to know that his original idea for Yoda, was for him to not be the Jedi grand master we know him to be today, and that Vader

2023/07/29

in the early scripts for The Empire Strikes back, as noted in 'the making of The Empire Strikes Back" book, we get Luke Skywalker fighting Darth Vader as he's using force lightning. The idea was eventually scrapped of course, but it's interesting to learn of George Lucas' thought process behind giving Luke this power against his father. The Emperor remains to this day, to have some of the most powerful sith force lightning in existence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Vader "Kills" Luke in Very First Script of Empire...

Star Wars Theory ·

2023/07/29

In the Making of The Empire Strikes Back, Vader was supposed to kill Luke Skywalker through the force, telepathically. They were supposed to fight on what becomes Hoth, and in this first draft, Vader isn't Luke's father. He's the guy who killed Anakin Skywalker. R2 saves Luke, again, and blasts off into hyperspace, where Luke was able to breathe again from the force choke. Luke then goes to meet Minch Yoda. Learn more about your ad choices.

Anakin's Ghost Visits Luke and Yoda on Dagobah - Star...

Star Wars Theory ·

2023/07/29

What if Anakin had shown up to Luke Skywalker on Dagobah with Yoda? How is this possible, you ask? Well, in the original screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back, George Lucas was going to have Anakin Skywalker be a different character than Darth Vader. This would have made Obi-Wan Kenobi's lie to Luke, about his father being killed by Vader, true. It was later changed of course, and we got Vader dropping the line "NO! I AM YOUR FATHER!" which still shocks Star Wars fans who watch Empire for the first

Anakin Rages Out at Obi-Wan for Killing His Mother

Star Wars Theory ·

2023/07/29

In Star Wars Attack of the Clones, Anakin's Mother, Shmi Skywalker, passed away due to the Tusken's capturing her. Anakin reveals in the novel that he felt it was majorly Obi-Wan's fault not only that he was held back, but also that he was responsible for her death in the end. I believe if Qui-Gon Jinn had trained Anakin, then things wouldn't have ended up in the dark side. Vader wouldn't exist, and Anakin would restore peace to the galaxy.
