Damn It!

The return of Palpatine actually makes sense considering Star Wars Canon history and the powers that Darth Sidious has compared to older Siths, when you consider Sith Alchemy, Essence transfer and Immortality, it makes perfect sense that he would be able to return. It could just have been done a lot better and it does clash somehow with the Chosen One prophecy (which I have a problem with in the first place anyway as getting rid of the dark side entirely is not bringing balance and is not realistic, so it is either a false prophecy or its true meaning was misunderstood).

​@@YAZlakhdar It doesn't matter if it makes sense in some weird way like "muh but he has that kind of power". It completely destroys the entire point of the ENTIRE series.

@@YAZlakhdar Getting rid of the Sith is bringing balance, that's literally George Lucas' definition. The Sith and the use of the Dark Side to gain power is the imbalance. That's how Light, Dark, and the Force work in this universe What i understand is that Palpatine wanted a strong force user to transfer his essence into from the very beginning, that's why he made Luke and Vader fight, it was a win/win situation for him. But he didn't expect Luke resisting the Dark Side and Vader redeeming himself and this was his undoing, also blowing up twice. in space. There was literally nobody around for him to transfer into, and that's why him returning is not only stupid, but completely disrespectful to the source material and the viewer's intelligence and their understanding of cause and effect.

@@fio_lume it seems the main idea of movies using force for destruction is moving world to imbalance state, and using force for sustaining the world is making world balanced.

And now people wants Anakin to be the chosen one

whoever says rEy SkYwAlKeR is the chosen one they need serious help

All the wars fought by hundreds of extremely powerful Sith and Jedi with real Dark v Light battles makes the Clone Wars and Galactic wars seem like a small dodgeball game. Being a powerful Jedi never mattered at that time. If there was only a small village of humans left, and they were fighting wars with nearby anthills it wouldn’t matter who the stronger human was because the enemy is crushed just as easily. Humans v ants are Jedi v Soldiers/battle droids. And making Anakin the “Chosen One” at that time, like bruh does it really matter? Not really because the Sith have pretty much been wiped out already. What’s killing one or two more? There were *zero* Sith at one point in time way after the Sith Empire was destroyed and people found their old knowledge. It’s gonna happen again at some point or another. Anakin killing himself then Palpatine is a footnote compared to Vitiate/Valkorian, Revan, Malgus, Nihilus, Hero of Tython, Marka Ragnos, Exar Kunn, and all of Luke’s achievements as grandmaster of the new Jedi Order.

IS* in my opinion

I was thinking the same thing. His redemption is a nice story, but it hardly negates the harm and loss he created, which was so much worse than he himself suffered. When you think about it, the jedi code of "no attachment" is what allowed a place for Palpatine a place into Anakin's heart to be able twist it to his will. If the jedi had been more cognizant mentors, they could have seen his pain and done something to help him heal. Instead they put him in a box that served their interests... until it didn't. Their solution to the problem is to get acolytes when they are young and moldable. If they don't find them soon enough, they are abandoned to figure it out on their own, which is why the sith would always be able to find young padwans, just like every other criminal enterprise IRL (mafia, yakuza, gangs etc). Sorry for the editorializing, just a stream of consciousness that jumped into my head as I watched this informative video😉

@@nard1000 the Jewish code itself is what brought Anikan down to the dark side, not the fact he had attachments, even the original Luke realized that and Luke allowed attachments in the new jedi order, until disney came along and ruined everything

You can interpret works in many ways. You can use the word of the creator as the absolute truth, the actual work it self instead, or a combination of the two. George interprets his story as Anakin being the Chosen One and balance as no dark side, other interpret balance as a literal balance of light and dark and can view Luke as the Chosen One. As long as you can back up your interpretation with evidence then it’s valid.

It's even worse when people say that Rey is the chosen one. Smh 🤦‍♂️

Luke was a symbol of hope, not the chosen one. He brought back the light in his father, and Anakin fulfilled his destiny, when killed Palpateine.

@@puncifikator3870 judging by how fast that lightsaber was going palpatine wouldn't have had the time

@@puncifikator3870 mace won fair and square George said that, there are a lot of parallels between mace and palpatine, they both seemingly have the same potential and they definitely share the same powers (shatterpoint, proficiency in 7th form of lightsaber combat, both using the dark side etc...) Palpatine could have won only if he killed mace in the beginning, you see mace has mastered vapaad which means that the longer the fight was going on the more he was channeling the dark side energy from palpatine.

If Anakin didnt fall to the dark side he would still bring balance becoming a full Jedi and doing it by killing the Sith. Is not that hard to understand.

Well said.

I wish it were true but Disney will keep pumping out more shows and movies and shows and movies that eventually, generations will come and go having been introduced to star wars ONLY through their garbage content. That's why they don't care that people reject their trash and call their new stories terrible. The goal is just to make a giant wall of content that ignore Lucas' cannon and keeps people subscribed and buying merch.

Very well put. That's how I deal with Disney's take on Star Wars. I just tell myself, "As far as I'm concerned, the story ended with Episode 6!! However, I really liked Rogue One!!

The prequels arw absolute shit. The only reason anyone is praising them now is because people hates the Disney ones so in their weak minds suddenly the prequels were great. They are trash. An abomination in terms of movie making. The original trilogy will live on forever and in time the prequels will be relegated back to the shit pile they came from with the Disney trilogy.

@@awakenow7147 I honestly see the disney made SW movies as a really expensive fan fiction trilogy, I don't count them as ever occurring in the real star wars universe, alternate reality or not.

@@hyperrunner8531 Thats valid. I think we're practically on the same page, but I have a bit of an unpopular opinion when it comes to the old Expanded Universe as well. I also see most of the EU as being pure fan fiction/alternate universe(with the exception of maybe KOTOR and Force Unleashed). Basically, anything that Lucas didn't seem to care for, I compartmentalize it and place it elsewhere in the multi-verse. Of course, the EU is largely better written than the Disney stuff, but that doesn't change the fact that it also strays from the core philosophy too many times for me to be comfortable with.

@@awakenow7147 I can definitely say I share a little bit of that opinion when it comes to only a small part of the EU, principally the parts after episode 6, and George has indeed expressed feeling the same way for the longest time as the whole thing of the Emperor coming back several times and then the republic collapsing again to then be reformed yet again just didn't sit right with me as it was super repetitive, lacking in originality, and just like the disney version, undermining of the point of the 6 true SW movies, that the chosen one was prophesied to destroy the sith and bring balance to the force, but the sith keep coming back again and again which basically makes everything Luke and his father did seem for nothing, that's why I don't count anything happening after episode 6 as canon. But most parts of the EU before the prequels I look at it as brilliantly crafted with immense depth, lore and realism that rivals the Tolkienverse, the origins of the sith, Darth Vitiate, Darth Nihilus, Revan, Darth Bane, the background to the rule of 2, the stuff that went on in the sith wars are so epic they very easily rival the movies, the writers had the space to be really creative and make up their own characters without having to be limited by the narrow possibilities of what sort of conflict could realistically arise after episode 6, its really difficult to make something like that work when the sith and the empire were defeated and the force was in balance, it was the ultimate ending, how do you continue it realistically? Which is why both disney and the EU really couldn't make a great squeal story It just seems like they were out of good ideas, but I would say George was the only one who knew how to carry on the story in a realistic way by changing the entire theme of it, doing something new and innovative, essentially taking the mythos to the next level by delving into the celestials and the deeper nature of the force and how/why it influences the events of the galaxy, a story structured on discovery of a deeper cosmic world that influences the force and the events of history similar to the Star Trek the final frontier movie where they discover secrets about creation, rather than your very typical dark vs light war would give us something new and progressing of what came before, wile giving greater meaning and understanding to all of it.

@@hyperrunner8531 Good points about the old republic content. I'm honestly not as concerned about that. I do think the old republic era has a lot more room for creativity. This could even be why George almost canonized Revan and Bane in The Clone Wars series. I guess my only nitpick about the old republic era is Kreia. I personally love her as a characters, and she brings up many good points in regards to the Force, Jedi, and Sith. But I do wonder if there was a way to incorporate her foresight in a more organic way with Lucas's movies. I respect KOTOR 2 as a deconstruction, but I wonder where it fits in exactly. Then again, I suppose my conditions can be a little steep sometimes. I too wanted to see George's expansion of the Force's lore. The microbiotic Whills using people as vehicles sounds insane...but somehow intriguing. The very description of the Whills makes them sound like they could either be a great ally, or a huge threat. But of course, Disney was too scared to even consider such a route. And to be fair...I feel like many of the fans would be too. The closest we're going to get...is whatever lore Dave Filoni decides to incorporate into his shows.

@@angelothompson186 he was too pure because he never faced the hypocrisy of the Jedi Council which Anakin did, tbh, even Luke would have snapped out if he was in Anakin's place.

Because he threw Vader down that shaft

Yes now ray is supposed to be the chosen one😪😥

Craig Not at all Anakin still is in the film he says “Now bring balance to the force as I have Rey” He will always be the chosen one Rey couldn’t beat Palpatine alone she had all the power of the Jedi inside of her in that moment. The only reason she was able to defeat him is because she had the bloodline of Palpy and the Chosen one was inside of her too.

@@optimal9126 and she was too overpowered

Craig Well she is a Palpatine so that makes a lot of sense. As well as having the Jedi within her at the Palpy fight as well.

@@optimal9126 Anakin destroyed Sidious already. Her destroying what was destroyed makes no sense. In fact, its stupid.

Cosmicgoatee cant believe they’ve done this

It’s a slap in the face.

@@Parallel_ Believe it. Disney is ruthless, they do not care about Lucas. Matter of fact, I truly believe that they resent him. They're jealous of the fact that he was once practically independent, while they are all slaves to the system.

@@awakenow7147 That's what I've been saying all along !!! George is a self made man, that created something legendary. Out of jealousy they ruined his creation.

@@AlexYBITW It really does seem like that. The decisions that they made for the sequel stories just feel like pure spite. I mean...really? A Palpatine adopting the Skywalker name? I feel like we're in an alternate universe right now.

he was afraid because anakin was the strongest of them all in the force even Yoda. that is why Yoda feared for his future. so Palpatine had to manipulate him and get him to the dark side.

but that was the whole prophecy, that Palpatine didn't get. Yoda didn't want to believe anakin was the chosen one because he feared that what if the prophecy change patterns and the sith once rule again and anakin didn't bring balance to the force whether he was dark side or not.

but it did come true because of his son Luke. once Vader destroyed Darth Sidious, sith no longer exist anymore because there is not rule of one. there is must be a dark lord of the sith for sith to exist. that is why Kylo Ren wants to contine.

when they said bring balance to the force meaning to destroy the sith so they can never exist.

Balance is not between light and dark. Light and dark, good and evil, they're all just words. You can't have balance between vocabulary. Balance is between life and death. Life creates the force, so preserving life strengthens the force. The Jedi protect all life and accept death, preserving the balance between the two. The Sith destroy life for self-gain and power, and they defy death for selfish reasons, as Anakin did, which disrupts the balance. That's the real and tangible balance that the films are referring to, not some simplistic and intangible notion of "light" and "dark."
