George Lucas FULLY Explains Jedi and Sith History Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

What a treat this is. I'm so thankful for Paul Duncan's book The Star Wars Archives 1999-2005. It has so many interviews and exclusive things with George Lucas that reveals things I never knew about. It's always a fun time reading from this book because you never know what you find in each new page.

I feel it's necessary for us to understand what George Lucas thought of the Sith and Jedi

Natalie Portman Explains What Padme REALLY Thought of Anakin Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

In Star Wars Archives 1999-2005 book we get a nice little piece from Natalie Portman about how she felt Padme felt about Anakin Skywalker. While I've done a video in the past about how Padme felt about Anakin in universe, it's fun to see what Natalie Portman actually thought too. We have to remember, George Lucas instilled all of Padme's thoughts into Natalie's head to be able to act out the character properly and to have the proper chemistry with Anakin/Hayden Christensen on set...Especially, in Revenge of the Sith.

George Lucas Says Anakin Could Have Survived WITHOUT Vader's Suit... Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

In the making of The Return of the Jedi book, there is a dialogue chapter where George Lucas discusses Anakin Skywalker had he not used Vader's suit that Palpatine gave him in Revenge of the Sith. I would love to know more about this from George as he glossed over it. What would have happened had Anakin chosen the light side, and received plenty of force healing? What if Vader got the most up to date suit that the galaxy could make for him? How limited, or rising, would his powers become?

Why Didn't Darth Vader Clone Himself? - Star Wars Explained Jul 29, 2023

Show notes

In Star Wars, the Cloning process was mass produced for years, so were cloned limbs...so with all of Vader's pain and suffering to his body, why didn't he or Palpatine start a cloning process for himself to return as Anakin Skywalker or just simply repair his limbs, lungs, and organs to reach his full potential as a Sith Lord or Jedi?

George Lucas Explains Why Vader Stayed Loyal to Palpatine After Padme's Death Jul 29, 2023

Show notes

In Star Wars revenge of the Sith, we saw the final conclusion to Anakin Skywalker until his redemption 30 years later at the hands of Luke Skywalker, his son. Anakin’s journey as a slave boy on Tatooine, wide eyed and Ernest to save his slave mother one day, he goes off with the Jedi on some idealistic crusade. Anakin surprises all the Jedi at the temple with his ability to learn quickly and develop his powers beyond what was believed possible for his age. The chosen one, they called him, Anakin went to become the poster boy of the Clone Wars, killing Dooku and befriending the Chancellor, he was haunted by visions of padme dying. Anakin’s prime power, his main power in Star Wars, was the ability to see into the future, which sadly seized immediately once he lost to obi-wan, losing many of his abilities in the process.

Once he sold his soul to the Devil as George Lucas calls it, and pledged his allegiance to Palpatine in exchange for the power and knowledge to save his wife, Anakin obliged all of Sidious’ orders. And only through doing such horrendous things, would Anakin achieve such a power in the darkness, that he would be able to safe his wife from certain death. We all know how the story went…

Why did Anakin/Vader stay loyal to the Emperor? Why didn't he just move on? Could he have moved on? Why was he sticking around after Palpatine ruined his life?

George Lucas just Changed the Game for Jedi and Force Ghosts Jul 29, 2023

Show notes

Force ghosts have always been such an interesting concept to me. After the end of return of the Jedi, we never saw them again. It always made me wonder what could force ghosts learn in the netherworld? What new abilities and powers could they progress and is it really another dimension just like the living, but with doors that allow for grander powers to be unlocked? Well, today we get to learn of something along the lines that will open many eyes. In the making of the return of the jedi a constant theme I keep seeing within this book and the dialogue between George and his team in regards to the story details and characters, is that there was such a deeper explanation of the powers and abilities of everyone as you may or may not have seen in my previous episodes regarding the making of books. Now with George, he loved to go into the nooks and crannies of his characters, and for today’s episode, we’re going to talk about this power that he was going to give obi-wan. It’s a pretty over powered ability, but it just shows you how powerful a force user can become once they transcend into the netherworld.
