What if Luke Skywalker did join his father? What if he agreed to overthrow the Emperor, to destroy him, and to rule the Galaxy as Father and son?! Let's find out. 

In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, during Order 66 given by Palpatine, we see cut scenes of Anakin and the 501st batallion of Clone Troopers leading to the Jedi Temple. What happened there and how did they defeat all the Jedi? We'll cover everything, including the Younglings. 

In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, we see Anakin Skywalker fight Obi-Wan Kenobi, ending with his defeat at the bottom of Mustafar's lava bank, in pieces and on fire. What if Anakin just had his limbs severed but never caught on fire? Would he have been more powerful than the Emperor? Would Darth Vader have killed his mentor and take of the galaxy? We explore these possible scenarios inn the episode of Star Wars Theory.

In Star Wars The Phantom Menace, we never got to see the death of Plagueis, or Darth Plagueis at all for that matter...however, in the novel, Palpatine ruthlessly kills his old master, and this podcast goes over everything that he did and his thoughts during the brutal murder of one of  the most powerful Sith Lords in Star Wars lore.

There are hundreds of scenes and moments that stand out to all of us. Whether’s it’s Luke becoming a Jedi on Dagobah, learning from Yoda, or it’s Anakin falling to the Dark Side, Vader telling Luke he is his father, or if you’re like me, it’s the moment at the end of Return of the Jedi when Luke looks to the forest and sees the ghosts of Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin, we can all agree on one thing, we enjoy and love Star Wars. Now what about the creator himself.  While George created the first 6 movies, he has one scene, in one of the films in particular that he connected wit the most, and claims as his most favourite.

Did we really see the death of Snoke at the hands of his young and powerful apprentice Kylo Ren in The Last Jedi? We think we know what we saw with our own eyes, but their may be some surprises in store for Star Wars fan in the upcoming FILM, The Last Jedi, that might have us see Snoke back in action. Nothing is what it seems and Star Wars Theory is here to tell you to ignore what you saw with your eyes, and let us explain what really happened to the leader of the First Order. 

In this episode of Star Wars Theory we take a look at the 7 CANON lightsaber colours, the Jedi and Sith who use them, and  what each colour tells us about the warriors who wield them and their individual force powers.
