Of course, this builds on many satirists, critics, etc., but I've wrapped it all up into one grand theory. I've been relating all the plot holes, etc., into this for months, and I probably forgot more plot holes that it resolves than I remembered, so bring forth your plot holes, and I will tell you how it works into this.

Obi-wan and Luke are the Ambiguously Good duo?

Did Darth Vader have to wear pampers to avoid electrocution?

My weird knack is synthesizing wierdly disparate information. I’ve yet to figure out how to use it for good, besides posting political information on FR. I gave up writing real-world conspiracy theories when future events fit them far too well. Also, I avoid interpreting the bible’s prophecies, clinging to the line, “You shall not know the day nor the hour.”

No. His ceramic-plastic outfit, including gloves and boots kept the current from flowing through him. Instead, it behaved like lightning globe. Alternate theory would be that he was so heavily robotic, that all the metal parts — insulated from the flesh — acted like a Farraday cage.

" Han Solo doesn't believe they exist, and a high-ranking officer in Darth Vader's own Death Star believes they are a silly superstition. "

This is because the Jedi were never meant to be a galactic MI6 operating out of a mega mosque -- only 20 years earlier.

That's actually really interesting idea. That would explain why Luke knows there's good in him and can feel the conflict. That's why Luke is so smug when he's finally brought before the Emperor.

I always thought it odd that Vader so quickly recognized Luke as his offspring, but not Leia (who clearly was just as powerful in the force). Maybe he did, but didn't want to reveal this to the Emperor.

Yes, and Luke and Leia weren’t supposed to be brother and sister; Darth wasn’t supposed to be their father; and so on and so on. The game is trying to fix the horrific plot holes that the later movies created.

“Is Darth really so evil? He’s supposed to torture Leia to find the location of the rebel base, but we show no signs he ever did.”

There is a radio-play version, six hours long, which spends significant time on Leia’s tortured interrogation. Trust me: there’s a reason it’s not expanded on in the PG-rated movie - the agony & terror involved would have pushed the rating well into R.

I hear he was also a Brony.

To go along, there’s a popular theory circulating that Jar-Jar was actually a high-level Sith Lord, expert in the Jedi version of “drunken fighting” and using the protagonists to advance his own goals. This well explains his incredible ability to look like a bumbling idiot yet slaughtering vast numbers of Empire troops in the process.

Alas, audiences didn’t get the Drunken Master reference, the plot plan backfired, and Lucas abandoned his plans for the big reveal & downfall of JJ in episodes 2 & 3.

Not canon. Didn’t happen. ;-) Besides, she shows no physical or psychological effect of having been through torture.

If you haven't watched George Lucas in Love, you must. Tonight.

Yes, I like that one.

Let’s not forget that Jar-Jar is the true villain, the Mitch McConnell to Emperor Palpatine’s Barrack Obama.

All you really see is a needle, which tells me that they just injected her with truth serum. She does not look the least bit hurt or injured in subsequent scenes.

IIRC, the Sith were always only two: the master and the student.

How only two balance the hundreds or thousands of Jedi is yet another unanswerable question.

Fun topic, though.

I thought it was Anakin Skywalker who was the hero.

Darth Vader was a skulking sidekick to the Emperor who was a failure as a leader. Vader? Lost TWO Death Stars.

Anakin killed off the Emperor.

The whole thing is the Decline and Rise of Anakin Skywalker.
