Rey's Weird CAVE Scene Explained by Rian Johnson (spoilers) - Star Wars The Last Jedi Explained: In Star Wars The Last Jedi we got a different kind of scene, one that mirrors Luke Skywalker's cave scene from Empire Strikes Back with Yoda...how did this scene make sense? Rian Johnson discusses it in an interview, that he place in this story isn't served on a silver platter, that Kylo Ren's theory in (Snoke's throne room) for her parentage is as skewed as her perception of herself... Let me know what you thought of this scene in question! It was quite different, that's for sure, but cool nonetheless! by Star Wars Theory

How LUKE Found Ahch-To and The FIRST Jedi Temple (CANON) - Star Wars The Last Jedi Explained: In Star Wars The Last Jedi we see Luke Skywalker on Ahch-To, the very FIRST Jedi Temple...however...the film fails to explains just how he got there.

THIS BIG REVENGE OF THE SITH DELETED SCENE I NEVER SAW: I recently came across a deleted scene from Star Wars Revenge of the Sith between Yoda and Palpatine which had a ton more fight scenes and choreography/lightsaber duels than we saw in the final cut from George Lucas and Lucasfilm. Let's watch it together and react to it. What do you think of this version? Was it better? Or do you like the original? Revenge of the Sith is my favorite Star Wars film after Return of the Jedi. I think Anakin Skywalker's arc shifting into his life as Darth Vader is compelling and a long time coming. His final duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar is one that I will never forget seeing in theatres. by Star Wars Theory

Will Luke Skywalker Be WEAK in The Last Jedi? (ANSWERED) - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars The Last Jedi we've gotten lots of worry about Luke Skywalker being weak, and, well....lame... Well, we now have a quote by the director Rian Johnson in an interview that describes briefly what Luke will be like in this film in terms of his mental clarity...however...does this mean he's just being careful with his words? Will we see a full power Luke Skywalker against Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren? What about Snoke? Is he not as powerful as the new possible ruler of the galaxy? I really want to see Luke swing his green lightsaber around with speed, killing the enemy with the same violence Darth Vader did in Rogue One a Star Wars Story. What do you think? Are you looking forward to seeing Luke's new power(s) in Star Was The Last Jedi? Or are you more into seeing Kylo's new abilities and his trials commanded by The Supreme Leader Snoke? by Star Wars Theory

Yoda's Force Lightning Scene EXPLAINED by Rian Johnson - Star Wars The Last Jedi: In Star Wars The Last Jedi, we got the beautiful scene of Yoda's return, however how did that impact the universe we all thought we knew so well?

Rey? Kylo Ren? by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas Reveals WHY Anakin Thought the Jedi Are Evil Point of View - Star Wars Theory Explains: George Lucas reveals and explains in depth just why Anakin Skywalker told Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, in Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, WHY he thinks the Jedi are evil.

Here's Why Snoke's BACKSTORY WASN'T in The Last Jedi - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars The Last Jedi...we didn't get ANY Snoke backstory info. Why? When will we? When could we?

Why Does Luke Skywalker Say the JEDI MUST END? - Star Wars The Last Jedi THEORY: The Star Wars The Last Jedi Trailer has given us something we didn't really understand...the Jedi have been cemented into our beliefs as the end all be all philosophy in Star Wars...so why would Luke Skywalker tell us that they must end? In this video we'll breakdown exactly why he says this (to the best of my knowledge and sources) and what it means for Star Wars The Last Jedi, Rey, Kylo Ren, and of course Luke Skywalker himself. How will this impact Snoke? What about Anakin Skywalker and his possible interactions with his son through the force? Yoda has told Luke that he will be afraid...could this be what Luke is afraid of? His own dark side, or the dark side in general, and how addictive it is? Could Rey be a "Grey" Jedi? Or something entirely different...?? by Star Wars Theory

The SITH GHOST Luke Almost Spoke to in The Last Jedi - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars The Last Jedi we got something very different from what we all thought. The concept art book for the film reveals what was conceptualized to an even greater degree (which I wish we got). However today's episode will cover just what Luke was supposed to experience in The Last Jedi upon his deep meditation. It's a scene that was never put into the film, however with 20 minutes of deleted scenes being added to the movie upon home release, I hope we get it in a deleted scene, which would be really interesting to see. Who could this dark side ghost be? Snoke? Palpatine? Darth Vader? Anakin Skywalker? by Star Wars Theory

I Agree with John Boyega's Choice LOL: John Boyega on First We Feast was asked to rank the star wars sequel trilogy. He ranked The Last Jedi as the worst. I fully agree and respect John Boyega for being honest. the Last Jedi's writing and portrayal of Luke Skywalker was a slap in the face to George Lucas and Star Wars fans. Many liked it, but even more disliked it. by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas Cuts Luke's Lightsaber Scene in ORIGINAL Return of the Jedi Script PART 3: In the original screenplay/script for Star Wars Revenge of the Jedi (Return of the Jedi), George Lucas had Luke Skywalker build his own lightsaber, where Yoda would speak to him and tell him that his training is now complete. It would have been a cool scene. He also has many other things added which I go over and explain in this PART 3 of George Lucas original Return of the Jedi script. by Star Wars Theory

How Qui-Gon Jinn Spoke to Yoda in Revenge of the Sith - Star Wars Explained: At the very end of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Master Yoda is visited by Qui-Gon Jinn during his meditation in a deleted scene that never made the final film. The scene was written in the script (can be found online) and in the novelization. The scene was later digitally inserted in the clone wars however it doesn't have the same feeling and confuses the timeline. If Yoda spoke to Qui-Gon before this, then he would have told him sooner in the films just like in the animated series. by Star Wars Theory

How Luke CRASHED a Star Destroyer on Jakku (CANON) - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars The Force Awakens, we were introduced to the planet Jakku, where we saw a massive Star Destroyer having crash landed. In the canon book Tales of Luke Skywalker, we are told of how he crashed a star destroyer on the planet itself. Could this be the one that we saw, or just one of many? The stories here lead into Star Wars The Last Jedi so I'll definitely be covering as much from the novel as I can before the movie comes out, for you all. Hopefully we'll find some information here about Snoke, Rey and Kylo Ren, along with Luke Skywalker's training after Return of the Jedi. by Star Wars Theory

Attack of the Clones Bonus DVD Part 1 George Lucas: The DVD bonus discs of the first 6 films cover a extensive array of info about the films, film making process, and the actors themselves as George Lucas talks to us about his creation, Star Wars. You can't find these anymore as they are only on the DVD's from the early 2000's. In this one we'll learn about George's vision as a film maker and how he preferred digital over anything else. We'll also see some BTS of Ewan as Obi-Wan and Sam Jackson as Mace Windu. These are relics, and I'm happy to react/give my take on everything as we learn more from The Maker, himself. The beginning of the bonus discs from the Lucas Files! Attack of the Clones Part 1. I hope you enjoy it, I definitely do and can't wait to do more. by Star Wars Theory

How George Lucas Wanted Padme to KILL Anakin with a Knife on Mustafar! - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, George Lucas almost approved of a very alternate ending with Padme trying to kill Anakin Skywalker on Mustafar just before Obi-Wan Kenobi showed himself.
