Why Hayden Christensen Played Anakin PERFECTLY in Star Wars Aug 17, 2023

Show notes

Hayden gets the most hate in Star Wars because of his role in the prequels (Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith). I think he played him perfectly, and here's why...

He was supposed to be monotone, moody, and confused. He was supposed to be numb and callous. Everything someone who's depressed, held back, and emotionally beaten coming from a life of slavery should be. I can't see anyone else playing Anakin now.

What do you think?

Why Count Dooku WASN'T at Qui-Gon’s Funeral - Star Wars Explained Aug 17, 2023

Show notes

Why wasn't Count Dooku at his own Apprentice's funeral? Qui-Gon Jinn died at the hands of Darth Maul who was trained by Palpatine / Darth Sidious. It would have made sense for him to be in Episode 1, at the very least, at the funeral with Obi-Wan and Anakin.

In today's episode let's go over Yoda and Obi-Wan's discussion in the legends novel Labyrinth of Evil where they discuss the battle from episode 2 between Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Count Dooku and Yoda.

It's nice to finally know why Dooku didn't kill them off so quickly from the start (plot armour aside - YOU CAN'T KILL ANAKIN THIS EARLY lol)

Why Anakin Couldn’t Sense Obi-Wan on Padme’s Ship - Star Wars Explained Aug 17, 2023

Show notes

In Revenge of the Sith it made no sense as to why Anakin couldn't sense Obi-Wan on Padme's ship on Mustafar before their big fight.

Darth Vader sensed Obi-Wan Kenobi on the Death Star, so why couldn't Anakin here?

The answer is from the legends (now) novel - The Rise of Darth Vader

Why Luke’s Lightsaber Calls to Rey - Star Wars Theory Aug 17, 2023

Show notes

In Star Wars The Force Awakens, Rey summoned Luke's lightsaber from the snow, ignoring Kylo Ren's force pull. Before this, Anakin's lightsaber called to Rey in Maz's Castle. This was where she saw and heard flashbacks of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Kylo Ren and her childhood...so why does Luke Skywalker's (Anakin Skywalker's) lightsaber call to her? Is she a Skywalker?
