Darth Sidious

One glaring problem I’ve had with the original trilogy is that Kenobi/Yoda seemed to be setting Luke up for ultimate failure had he actually defeated Vader like they’d intended.

As we know, it wasn’t Luke who defeated Sidious but a returned Anakin Skywalker whose love for his son finally broke Sidious’ hold over him & saw him sacrifice his life to destroy him & save his child. Without Anakin’s critical intervention, Luke would have been helpless before Sidious’ power & died to his Force Lightning.

It was also Luke who shied away from Kenobi/Yoda’s intention of him defeating Vader in combat & instead chose to appeal to the good he still sensed within his father, a course of action that was ultimately vindicated & proved essential to his ultimate survival.

So what exactly did Kenobi/Yoda expect him to do about Sidious if he’d actually beaten Vader like they’d pushed him to? Sidious was on a whole other level above Luke in power & they knew it, especially Yoda who’d faced him directly in the past.

Seems to me that they really didn’t plan very far ahead & just expected him to wing it.

In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rey, the main character of the New Trilogy, was revealed to be the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine AKA Darth Sidious, the main villain of the Star Wars Saga. As shocking as that reveal was, I have a few questions about that. In the New Trilogy, we got a few glimpses into Rey's childhood through some flashbacks. When exactly did the events of those flashbacks take place? Because if we follow the timeline of the Star Wars Saga, the flashback events of Rey's childhood would've had to have taken place right after the Prequel Trilogy, and during the Original Trilogy. Maybe. Can someone explain it to me?

Do you think Jacen's transition to the dark side was handled well?

Darth Jar Jar: A Theory

Jar Jar Binks was a Representative of Naboo, General of the Gungans and friend of many Jedi but a Sith Lord? Today we will take a deep dive into the incredibly likely Idea that Jar Jar Binks might not be so nice.

In Episode I The Phantom Menace, We meet the Gungan Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar shows himself as a charismatic idiot to Qui-Gon Jinn and his padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi. Throughout the movie Jar Jar does many comedic actions that end in incredible success. Jar Jar was banished from his home for being too “Clumsy” but was he actually clumsy? At one point he is let back into his home but the leader of the Gungans decides to make the clumsy idiot whom he banished, general! Was this his doing or Jar Jars'?

In Episode II Attack of The Clones Padme Amidala, Queen of Naboo, Can no longer be safe as senator because of two recent assassination attempts on her. She promotes Jar Jar as Senior Representative of Naboo. Jar Jar goads the other council members into giving Sheev Palpatine supreme emergency powers in order to wage war on the CIS, or the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

The Clone Wars, as they were called, were almost to an end. In Episode III Revenge of The Sith Sheev shows his true colors to the world. Sheev having his life force almost entirely drained from the encounter from Agen Korr, Saesee Tiin, Kit Fisto and Mace Windu. As all the other senators gave worried looks to palpatine none other than Jar Jar Binks used the galaxies trust of Naboo and Him to suggest they create a “New Galactic Empire” all the other systems agreed with Binks and as Padme Amidala put it “This is how liberty dies: With thunderous applause”.

Many believe Jar Jar left the senate after this due it becoming wicked but evidence suggests he did this due to it not being good enough for him as his Sith Empire would never prosper within it. He left to go back to Naboo in the capital of Theed. There he spent his days mastering the force while masquerading as a street performer. No one knows Darth Darth Binks’ Fate but with his mastery of the force he may be lurking in the shadows ready to strike.

Conclusion

Jar Jar the clumsy Gungan might have been in truth a Sith Lord. Until the House of Mouse allows him to be Jar Jar’s fate will never be known (unless Lego Star Wars is canon)

If you could pick 5 force users (-the ones and abeloth) whose powers (including their combined force sensitivity and potential) and equipment you would gain in real life who are you picking???

Basically the main issue that I have with Palpatine's character is that he is acting like a chess master where every one of the people and enemies involved in his plan are like pieces on a chess board, but he completely forgets or intentionally ignores the fact that every single person in his plan is a sentient being and has their own belief system as well as their own thoughts and opinions. These issues I have also apply to characters such as Dumbledore or Sauron.
