Lucasfilm Just Made Anakin and Luke KILLING Palpatine in a Vision CANON (EPIC)
Ойын-сауық
In the novel From a Certain Point of View celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, there are many chapters regarding many of the characters from the fifth Star Wars film. One in particular is the chapter called Disturbance by Mike Chen and narrated by Sam Witwer, himself.
This chapter blew my mind. It’s in regards to the scene where Vader kneels before Palpatine to only learn that his master has sensed a great disturbance in the force.
The book states that Palpatine, moments before, entered Vader's dream of him and Luke killing Sidious. Although Anakin was Anakin Skywalker once again, and without a respirator as Vader requires. Luke was the perfect Sith of legend, as Palpatine says. The fight was incredible, and something I'd love to see in a film someday.
This chapter in the book was one of my favourites. It just ties everything in so well, and to show this fan-fiction in canon is mesmerizing to think of, and a Fan-Fic I’d actually like to create. Anakin Skywalker watching his son, no, encouraging his son to beat the emperor. The question is, would Luke be strong enough to kill the emperor like this? In the chapter it explains how Luke would rise above Vader to see the true potential of his bloodline, over his father’s final death. I don’t think he would be, not in the time after Empire, say, Luke did join his father, he wouldn’t be ready so soon. It would require a year or two of proper Sith training to rival the emperor so easily the way he did. Then again, it was just Vader’s dream. Another thing that stuck out to me was that Palpatine mentions Vader has the fiery heart of Anakin Skywalker, further proving that Anakin never left Vader, just as we saw closer and closer to the end of Return of the Jedi. I think this excerpt is one of the first showcases of Palpatine’s affirmation that the son of Skywalker, if turned, would truly be the Anakin Skywalker he never got. For all those years he worked on turning Anakin to the dark side, it eventually all fell to pieces when he failed against Obi-Wan Kenobi to his own arrogance.

Me too, when I saw episode 6,I wanted to see a final fight with and without Lightabers, I was a little disappointed, but then I saw more of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels and other videos about Master Qui-Gon Jinn’s Force-Ghost that was to help Anakin to redempted himself (Anakin) to the Light Side. So therefore I accepted Episode 6 and I understand more about Anakin and what he was made from, The Force It Self. Plus I read some of the Star Wars comicbooks and now I like Star Wars much more. But not the Three Star Wars which Evil Disney had made, because they LOVE to kill all the characters and destroy everything they come in contact with. Like what Forrest Gump says:”Stupid is, Stupid does!”. And that is Why I call Disney for Evil Disney. Evil Disney does not know How to make Star Wars or other movies at all, for they are to F..Up! May The Force Be With You..✌️...!

Dude deserves to be in his own series or at least have a role in something. Starkiller is my favorite character because of him.

The most of Anakin’s day and day’s was like a daydream, or as You call it a daydreamer, even when Anakin become Darth Vader he was in dream-trance. In the episode 2 the clone wars he was in this trance-dreaming motion, for he thought could beat master Yoda in a Duel and he also thought he could beat count Dooku, Anakin was an dreamer and to much of an arrogant Padawan. That was Why he was easly turned to the Dark Side and he was the part of the Force which This Force do not attack each other (The Light Side/Dark Side), but its more on The Light Side This Force. Most of Darth Vader’s spare time was that he allways were in This Dream-Trance motion in The Force. For he was made of The Force and made from The Force it selfs. The Emperor Palpatine’s former master Darth Plagueis tried to created a lifeform or a life-Force user from the Force, but it backfired and Shmi Skywalker became pregnant, so Anakin became to live. Anakin was not on the Dark Side even when he became Darth Vader, he was afraid to lose people in his life. Anakin was like This: “WTF is all these bad things happen’t to me, Why me, Why not somebody else, why, Why..!” He was to much afraid of losing people around himself. That is Why he thought that palpatine was telling the truth about how to safe people by using The Force, but Anakin was manipulated by Palpatine from the begining. Good video bro...!

I see it as like the ultimate abusive relationsbip. Palpatine made Vader kill for him, and Vader interpreted it as a chance to prove his loyalty in much the same way as an abuse victim would tell themselves that their abuser is doing it out of "love", or for "their own good".

@@englishlady9797 Of this you write is true and both of Anakin and Palpatine did it for themselves, but for Palpatine’s side is that he only saw himself as a living-being, so therefore he became to arrogant in everything in the dark side. And for the Lightning-Force he used against Luke was not directly against Luke, I would say that Yoda, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and The Force it Self was protected Luke from being hit by Plapatine’s Lightning Force and Qui-Gon Jinn’s Force-Ghost was talking to Darth Vader, so Anakin could redempted himself from the dark side to the light side. Even Luke said to his father on Endor that he had good in him and that plapatine had Not driven the good out of Anakin. And why is this true, because Anakin was still from The Force it Self and Cannot become fully on the dark side. It’s like the real angles which God has made, these angles is allways doing God’s commands without hesitation, but these angles can ask why, but God allways says: ‘I know Things which you don’t know!’ and these angles do His command(s). So Anakin is a being from The Force it Self and will never become fully or total evil. For The Force is allways telling Anakin what is Right and what is Wrong and he cannot disobey The Force. Even if Disney or you/me or who ever it is Who trying to make Anakin fully on the dark side, it will not be, only by the imagination, but will not be, only wishful thinking of those who try. We All need to know that Anakin is the good guy and not evil. Even Ben Solo had to much of Anakin’s genes, that is why Ben solo won over Kylo Ren. May The Force be with you English Lady, allways ✌️..!

What if on Bespin, when Vader reveals himself to Luke, seeing his son in pain, scared, and in agony, he turns back to the light. He has visions of the life that he could have had, all the pain and suffering he has caused. Instead of trying to turn Luke to the dark side, he is suddenly engulfed by the light. "Luke, I am your father. I have made many mistakes, done horrible things. Seeing you here, the conflict inside of me has come full circle. I can no longer serve the emperor. Help me Luke, and let me help you defeat the emperor. I know there is no reason to trust me, but believe me. My dark days are finally over, thanks to you Luke."
