A few Star Wars fan theories
Hello!
I propose a geek talk about Star Wars (ST). For starters, a little q & a, which I mean.
A few fan theories about Star Wars (except for the obvious) ... From a certain angle, you can get rid of some plot inconsistencies, losses, when moving from episode to episode, ridiculous coincidences, etc.
If you do not like ZV - there is no need. Otherwise, you may see new storylines in a familiar story. Perhaps you, like me, will become more interested in watching a movie from this, or maybe you noticed all this already, but you had no one to talk about.
No, I do not make up a story, I simply interpret and assume. Such theories can be found on Reddit . I used some of them to fill in the gaps where I hadn’t thought of it myself.
Yes, without them - no way, but only from the original and new trilogy, the Force Unleashed game and a bit from the animated series Clone Wars and Rebels. The seventh episode, as if I did not want to, I will not include, not everyone has watched.
Unfortunately, after the release of the seventh part, the expanded universe is no longer considered the canon. Now it’s just a collection of legends, probably true, but rather not. But, since some information has not yet been refuted by the new expanded universe, we can take this for at least some source of information.
It seems to me that the assignment of pollutants to science fiction is fundamentally wrong. We do not know anything about the laws of physics in a “far-distant galaxy”, and everything we saw shows that they are very different from ours. That's why films like “Star Wars Science” are interesting from the point of view of popularizing science, but not a refutation of physics in the ST universe. By and large, we cannot even be sure that the outer space of the pollutants has a similar density to ours, and that sound does not propagate in it.
Among other things, the basis of everything in the world of ZV is Power: a rational deity (or at least very close to it), pursuing the goal, to maintain balance in the Universe at all costs. The plot of the film has a lot of ridiculous coincidences (especially in the new trilogy), thanks to which the plot moves. And, although, in screenwriting, the “piano in the bushes” is a low-key device that speaks of the laziness of the scriptwriters, in the case of the ST, the whole idea is based on this piano. Here either to accept, or not. Strength can lead the heroes anywhere and save them from death, if this is consistent with its goals.
Actually, theories themselves.
What do you remember from the new trilogy? Beautiful cities, political squabbles, Master Yoda with a lightsaber, a bunch of holograms and ... droids, many droids.
In the New Hope and, in general, in the original trilogy, droids are also present, but they are much smaller. Moreover, these are mainly droids that were produced in the Republic. Not to mention that they look like scrap metal (not counting the imperial ones, of course). The
question is why the civilization, in which the issue of artificial intelligence is resolved and where droids occupy a central place in life, suddenly stopped using them.
From the animated series "Rebels" and the games "Force Unleashed", we can understand that the transformation of the republic into an empire did not go so smoothly. And yet, at the beginning of episode 4, we find out that Darth Sidious dissolved the parliament (it took him 19 years), this is the last reminder of the Republic.
Initially, Palpatine became High Chancellor due to the threat of the Sith and the confederation of independent systems. When he came to power, he resolved these issues, on the one hand, taking control of the Trade Federation (the main sponsor of the separatists), on the other - announcing all rumors about the Sith as a conspiracy against the Republic, and the Jedi as traitors. But, despite the fact that the crisis (formally) resolved, Palpatine’s power was strengthened over the next 19 years so much that he was able to dissolve the Senate without consequences. It can be assumed that he used the well-known trick of the “external enemy” to intimidate the galaxy and strengthen its position. My version: he used droids. At that time, the rebels did not yet exist, and over the next years they showed sluggish resistance. Their positions have strengthened closer to the events of the New Hope,
Why not the Jedi?
Most of them were destroyed by order 66; those who remained could be chosen as terrorists, but it can be assumed that the emperor went the other way. At the beginning of the New Hope, Admiral Motti brazenly states that the doctrine of power is an obsolete religion. Han Solo also tells Obi Wan that he didn’t see evidence of the power of the circled galaxy, although by age he should have found the events of the Clone Wars. Chui also helped Yoda escape from Kashik and could tell Khan about it.
It seems to me that the empire denied the existence of the Jedi and power, declaring them magicians and charlatans. Nineteen years is not enough for people to forget the events they witnessed, but with massive propaganda (and also taking into account the rarity of the Jedi), you could convince most of them that they saw not what they thought, but the Jedi are like sorcerers we have: smart, skilled magicians (who kidnap children and teach them to indulge with a lightsaber).
Suppose Palpatine has chosen a new “external threat” for government propaganda. For example - droids. It is understandable that people easily fell for it. Droids caused many misfortunes during the Clone Wars. They ravaged planet after planet, often used for espionage and murder. At New Hope in the cantina, the owner refuses to service the droids. His reaction seems a little exaggerated. How could non-drinking peaceful droids interfere with the work of a bar where assassins and smugglers gathered? Perhaps people were afraid of droids and considered them a threat in any form.
There was another reason for cultivating hatred for droids. The empire, like any militarized dictatorship, had to ramp up production at a rapid pace to maintain stability. Widespread employment and a focus on the military industry would help keep people in control. At the same time, the widespread availability of droids in industry left no room for manual labor. On the one hand, the purchasing power of the population fell, which threatened the collapse of the economy, on the other hand, low employment and the benefits of “free machine labor” would lead to the fact that most of the population would have too much free time. As a result, dissatisfaction with the regime would grow and there would be an opportunity to create organized resistance.
Not quite a complete theory, rather an observation.
In addition to the lack of droids, after the transition from "Revenge of the Sith" to the "New Hope", the Empire's obvious technological lag is striking. Virtually nothing of the clone army used was preserved in the empire. This technique may have been destroyed by rebels in recent years before the New Hope, but why then is the Empire’s new production so far behind.
On the one hand, the reason may be the exclusion of droids from production. Without working people 24/7 slaves, for a quick build-up of military power, simpler designs were required. It can also be assumed that the technology in the Republic was based on a competitive market, while the Empire could not afford to loosen its grip. Most likely, all the main production was “nationalized”, which could not but affect the quality of the products.
Obviously, in the galactic empire - the concept of private property is not in price. In The Empire Strikes Back, Lando Calrician says their colony does not fall under the Empire’s jurisdiction because it is too small. But still, they lived in constant fear until they made a deal with the Empire (the conditions of which Vader easily violated).
Total, the entire private sector plows on the Empire, while the Empire itself is mainly engaged in the military industry. For example, the construction of the Death Star took about 20 years, which is pretty good, given the scale of production and the level of secrecy. Moreover, it is hard to believe that the second death star was built within such a short time after the destruction of the first. It can be assumed that the construction went in parallel.
For comparison, you can take a look at the projectFloating Nuclear Power Plant , construction, which took about 10 years.
Here you have to go from afar. Moreover, this theory is based on another fan idea that Anakin died in revenge of the Sith.
So, in order. At the end of the third episode, we see the breathtaking battle between Anakin and Obi Wan, which lasts about 8 minutes of screen time.
This is one of the longest struggles in the history of cinema. Change of locations, the use of force, asphyxiation techniques, various Jedi techniques, senseless rotation of the sword (1:40) and the wonders of choreography. To many, this fight seemed, to put it mildly, unrealistic. Especially considering that after 20 years, the battle of Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi looks like this:
Suppose the fight in the third episode has an explanation. Anakin and Obi-Wan fought shoulder to shoulder for many years. Surely sparring was commonplace for them, everyone knew what the other would do, and therefore their movements are so synchronized. But why, after 20 years, Vader’s revenge is so sluggish?
According to one of the fan theories, Anakin died at the end of the third episode and was resurrected by the Emperor. One version of this theory suggests that for the resurrection, the Emperor siphoned life force from Padme. In support of this, they show the final scene of “The Return of the Jedi” after the re-release, where instead of Darth Vader we see the young Anakin, although Obi-Wan looks exactly the same as before his death:
Among other things, this fits into the general reference to Christianity: “Anakin was conceived immaculately, traveled the world, he had disciples, he was betrayed by a friend and resurrected after death).
My version - the Emperor not only resurrected Darth Vader, but also supported his life. That is why Vader did not dare to speak out against the Emperor, but did everything so that someone would do it for him.
In Force Unleashed, we saw how Vader, with the help of a secret apprentice, practically rebelled against Palpatine from scratch. At the same time, Vader did not take the opportunity to betray the emperor, but he did not kill Glen Marek either. If we assume that all this was in the plans of Darth Vader, then all the resistance appeared only thanks to him.
Further in the “New Hope” we see the clash between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. Obi-Wan grew old, he had not practiced fencing for decades, but Darth Vader had more practice, and yet, from their battle it is clear that Vader is not very keen to kill the former teacher. Perhaps he deliberately dragged on time, or tried to capture Obi-Wan alive.
If you look at their battle carefully, you can see that they seem to cross swords at the beginning for the sake of formality. Towards the end, it looks more like a fight, but only with Obi-Wan's suggestion does Vader defend himself more likely. It is noteworthy that later he shows himself to be a more active fencer.
When Luke runs up to the battlefield, Obi-Wan looks at him, and then, smiling, at Vader. Vader understands that Luke is his chance, he also understands what Obi-Wan's plan consists of, and when the latter is preparing to unite with force, Vader kills him, although at that moment there was no need (he removed the sword).
In general, during the film, Vader is not so keen to kill. Here, for example, is a selection of all his killings, for the most part - pilots of the red squadron:
In The Empire Strikes Back, the moment Han Solo prepares to freeze, Chewbacca breaks free and starts throwing attack aircraft. Boba Fett aims at Chewbacca, but Vader doesn't let him shoot. Quite a strange act, it is clear why he needs Leia, but there was no point in leaving Chewbacca alive.
In fact, Vader by any means leads Luke to the Emperor, simultaneously preparing him for this meeting. In the finale of Return of the Jedi, Vader hesitates, not because the light and dark sides are fighting in him, but because he knows that he himself will die with the death of the Emperor. Perhaps this is why he did not let Luke kill Sidious by stopping his lightsaber, and Sidious, already doubting Vader, was calm and knew that Vader would protect him. We also saw in Force Unleashed that Vader’s armor can endure more than just a lightning bolt, but still, after the Emperor’s death, he says that it’s impossible to save him.
Another long-standing confirmation of Vader’s “lordship”. In "New Hope" - attack aircraft "miss". They are so obviously shooting past the target that the phrase stormtroopers aim has become a household word. Perhaps they were given instructions “not to kill”, because earlier Obi-Wan, examining the corpses of the Javas, said that the attack aircraft were excellent arrows. Also, later on the Hoth, they easily suppress resistance defenses.
If I liked the recording, I can continue to do such “round-the-bottom analysis”. If not ... Well, then no. In any case, thanks for reading to the end.
I propose a geek talk about Star Wars (ST). For starters, a little q & a, which I mean.
What is it?
A few fan theories about Star Wars (except for the obvious) ... From a certain angle, you can get rid of some plot inconsistencies, losses, when moving from episode to episode, ridiculous coincidences, etc.
Why should I read this?
If you do not like ZV - there is no need. Otherwise, you may see new storylines in a familiar story. Perhaps you, like me, will become more interested in watching a movie from this, or maybe you noticed all this already, but you had no one to talk about.
Is that fan fiction?
No, I do not make up a story, I simply interpret and assume. Such theories can be found on Reddit . I used some of them to fill in the gaps where I hadn’t thought of it myself.
Spoilers
Yes, without them - no way, but only from the original and new trilogy, the Force Unleashed game and a bit from the animated series Clone Wars and Rebels. The seventh episode, as if I did not want to, I will not include, not everyone has watched.
Extended universe?
Unfortunately, after the release of the seventh part, the expanded universe is no longer considered the canon. Now it’s just a collection of legends, probably true, but rather not. But, since some information has not yet been refuted by the new expanded universe, we can take this for at least some source of information.
A bit of tediousness
It seems to me that the assignment of pollutants to science fiction is fundamentally wrong. We do not know anything about the laws of physics in a “far-distant galaxy”, and everything we saw shows that they are very different from ours. That's why films like “Star Wars Science” are interesting from the point of view of popularizing science, but not a refutation of physics in the ST universe. By and large, we cannot even be sure that the outer space of the pollutants has a similar density to ours, and that sound does not propagate in it.
easter egg
Once, during a debate on this topic, they told me that in the ZV, at least, our universe is meant, because in the “hidden threat” we see the ET delegation, and in ET itself, seeing Yoda, the alien screamed “home, home! " Bad argument, but good easter egg.
Among other things, the basis of everything in the world of ZV is Power: a rational deity (or at least very close to it), pursuing the goal, to maintain balance in the Universe at all costs. The plot of the film has a lot of ridiculous coincidences (especially in the new trilogy), thanks to which the plot moves. And, although, in screenwriting, the “piano in the bushes” is a low-key device that speaks of the laziness of the scriptwriters, in the case of the ST, the whole idea is based on this piano. Here either to accept, or not. Strength can lead the heroes anywhere and save them from death, if this is consistent with its goals.

Theory: Empire made scapegoats from droids
What do you remember from the new trilogy? Beautiful cities, political squabbles, Master Yoda with a lightsaber, a bunch of holograms and ... droids, many droids.
In the New Hope and, in general, in the original trilogy, droids are also present, but they are much smaller. Moreover, these are mainly droids that were produced in the Republic. Not to mention that they look like scrap metal (not counting the imperial ones, of course). The

It seems to me that the empire denied the existence of the Jedi and power, declaring them magicians and charlatans. Nineteen years is not enough for people to forget the events they witnessed, but with massive propaganda (and also taking into account the rarity of the Jedi), you could convince most of them that they saw not what they thought, but the Jedi are like sorcerers we have: smart, skilled magicians (who kidnap children and teach them to indulge with a lightsaber).
offtopic about Khan who shot first
Not the most popular topic for holivar with us. All information can be found at the request of "Han shot first", but here I will simply describe briefly. There is a cult scene in Cantina on Tatooine where Khan kills Grido for extortion. Khan was the first to shoot first, but many fans looked for signs that Khan was defending in the haze. Lucas later ordered Grido's shot to be added to the scene, causing outrage among fans who liked the idea of the cold-blooded Han Solo. In the end, in the latest re-release, the scene was remounted so that both seemed to shoot at the same time.
Which version is correct - the argument does not subside (although Khan shot first).

As a result, dissatisfaction with the regime would grow and there would be an opportunity to create organized resistance.
If you still don't mind the droids
There is a scene in The Return of the Jedi where a droid is tortured in the Hutt's hideout.
The question is, why should someone program the droid for pain. And even so, why make him scream. Explanation: widespread hatred of droids could make such an “upgrade” quite popular, because, tormenting the enemy, you need to understand that it hurts.

Theory: Empire is not the best economic model
Not quite a complete theory, rather an observation.
In addition to the lack of droids, after the transition from "Revenge of the Sith" to the "New Hope", the Empire's obvious technological lag is striking. Virtually nothing of the clone army used was preserved in the empire.

It can also be assumed that the technology in the Republic was based on a competitive market, while the Empire could not afford to loosen its grip. Most likely, all the main production was “nationalized”, which could not but affect the quality of the products.
We know examples
I don’t want to draw parallels, but you can compare it with the USSR before the NEP era, when “war communism” was the main ideology. At that time, many enterprises were nationalized, including the first energy company, previously owned by the Siemens brothers . I do not give any assessment, I just notice that the NEP was a necessity due to similar problems.
Obviously, in the galactic empire - the concept of private property is not in price. In The Empire Strikes Back, Lando Calrician says their colony does not fall under the Empire’s jurisdiction because it is too small. But still, they lived in constant fear until they made a deal with the Empire (the conditions of which Vader easily violated).

For comparison, you can take a look at the projectFloating Nuclear Power Plant , construction, which took about 10 years.
About the fatal vulnerability of the Death Star
By the way, that very heat sink mine on the Death Star is not such a Vulnerability. There were many jokes on this subject, from robotsyp to the US government , but let's look at the facts:
1) The death star is perhaps one of the most energy-efficient autonomous stations in the universe. It is scary to think how much heat it generated during operation at full capacity. A heat sink was needed.
2) The mine was as narrow as possible, and was guarded by heavy Turrets.
3) The rebels used the “Red Squadron” to attack . An elite link of fighters, which was almost completely destroyed during the attack.
4) None of the pilots of the red squadron could complete the mission, even a direct hit, according to computer calculations, could not provide the necessary conditions for a chain reaction in the nucleus.
5) The only one who was able to cope with the task is Luke, who used the Force in combination (read magic), was the best pilot in the galaxy and was assisted by his dead teacher in the form of a ghost.
I mean, it is unlikely that risk planning during construction could take such a turn into account. In the end, the rest of the Empire’s equipment is vulnerable to direct hits by a large fleet.

Theory: Darth Vader is not such a villain, rather a coward
Here you have to go from afar. Moreover, this theory is based on another fan idea that Anakin died in revenge of the Sith.

Surely sparring was commonplace for them, everyone knew what the other would do, and therefore their movements are so synchronized. But why, after 20 years, Vader’s revenge is so sluggish?
I stand above you
At the end of the battle, Obi-Wan stands on a platform, and Anakin stands on a platform in the lava river. “It's over, Anakin, I stand above you,” Obi-Wan says and adds that you shouldn't even try.
Given that Obi-Wan himself defeated Darth Maul, just being lower, this is at least a strange statement. It can be assumed that Anakin knew very well how exactly his teacher won that battle. Perhaps Obi-Wan tells him that he is an expert in such a technique and Anakin will not be able to catch him by surprise, to which Anakin replies: “You underestimate my strength.” As it turned out, this is not so.

If we assume that all this was in the plans of Darth Vader, then all the resistance appeared only thanks to him.
Further in the “New Hope” we see the clash between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader.

Towards the end, it looks more like a fight, but only with Obi-Wan's suggestion does Vader defend himself more likely. It is noteworthy that later he shows himself to be a more active fencer.
And more about the battle
I don’t have any evidence, but I always consider this fight in this vein: Obi-Darth Vader taught the basics of lightsaber possession. Perhaps the style in which the battle is fought (in fact, this is Kendo, of course) is the basic style for all students. Obi-Wan, imposing this particular fighting style on Vader, as if trying to evoke the necessary feelings in him. Vader plays along with the former teacher. Thus, he does not fall under Sidious suspicion, but at the same time leads a silent conversation with Obi-Wan.
When Luke runs up to the battlefield, Obi-Wan looks at him, and then, smiling, at Vader. Vader understands that Luke is his chance, he also understands what Obi-Wan's plan consists of, and when the latter is preparing to unite with force, Vader kills him, although at that moment there was no need (he removed the sword).
In general, during the film, Vader is not so keen to kill. Here, for example, is a selection of all his killings, for the most part - pilots of the red squadron:
about a capsule without signs of life
At the beginning of the New Hope, the Imperials do not destroy the rescue capsule, actually giving the plot a go. This fits perfectly in the story of the oppression of droids. By that time, most of the “intelligent” droids had been destroyed, so the Imperials confident in their superiority could not imagine that some droids could cause them trouble.
In The Empire Strikes Back, the moment Han Solo prepares to freeze, Chewbacca breaks free and starts throwing attack aircraft. Boba Fett aims at Chewbacca, but Vader doesn't let him shoot. Quite a strange act, it is clear why he needs Leia, but there was no point in leaving Chewbacca alive.
In fact, Vader by any means leads Luke to the Emperor, simultaneously preparing him for this meeting. In the finale of Return of the Jedi, Vader hesitates, not because the light and dark sides are fighting in him, but because he knows that he himself will die with the death of the Emperor. Perhaps this is why he did not let Luke kill Sidious by stopping his lightsaber, and Sidious, already doubting Vader, was calm and knew that Vader would protect him. We also saw in Force Unleashed that Vader’s armor can endure more than just a lightning bolt, but still, after the Emperor’s death, he says that it’s impossible to save him.
Another long-standing confirmation of Vader’s “lordship”. In "New Hope" - attack aircraft "miss". They are so obviously shooting past the target that the phrase stormtroopers aim has become a household word. Perhaps they were given instructions “not to kill”, because earlier Obi-Wan, examining the corpses of the Javas, said that the attack aircraft were excellent arrows. Also, later on the Hoth, they easily suppress resistance defenses.
Although probably not
In fact, it does not seem to me that the attack aircraft missed on purpose. In my opinion, there is another explanation. Perhaps blasters are far from the best weapons in terms of accuracy, but their use is due to their versatility. Armies in the ZV universe operate on different planets, with different gravity and atmosphere. Using bullets could often be impossible. If we add to this that the Empire coped with production worse than the Republic, we can understand why attack aircraft shoot much worse than clones. However, in certain conditions, when they are dealing with familiar conditions (Tatooine, Hot), they can shoot much better. In the end, the Death Star was introduced in the OPE recently and the attack aircraft have not yet adapted.
If I liked the recording, I can continue to do such “round-the-bottom analysis”. If not ... Well, then no. In any case, thanks for reading to the end.
