hey guys how you doing hope everyone is doing well especially in this stressful
and trying time today's video is gonna be another excerpt from the rise of
Skywalker novelization we're gonna cover the scene which is actually a very
interesting scene and it completely negates what Darth Plagueis said in the
legends novel which I'm gonna quote what he said as well and it's it's legend so
doesn't matter but in Canon but it's just interesting to kind of connect the
two about what Plagueis says about someone using force lightning who's
never actually had it done to them the scene goes into great depths in detail
on what Rey was caught was imagining and conjuring within herself to be able to
shoot that lightning without ever knowing that power really existed now
all sort of two addresses prank a pink elephant in the room since we're all
gonna be home I do have a gaming channel and I love streaming on there the
community is absolutely beautiful it's like the purest form of the theory
channel here Star Wars Theory here of you guys that have come over there and
it's great so if you want to check it out the links below its theories arcade
and I have a lot of fun time on there every day when we stream so check it out
since we're gonna be home anyways and wash your hands
alright so getting on with the video we're gonna start a page 100 go to page
101 and then leak into page 102 I think actually we're gonna cover all of page
102 so 101 so wandered to 102 it's a bit long so bear with me and you can always
fast forward if you so wish probably like a minute we'll get to the part
where she actually shoots the lightning so let's begin a minute-and-a-half
kylo ren yanked off his mask to get some fresh air he was an idiot his stomach
roiled with this inevitable certainty as he gingerly stepped around the burning
wreckage of his tie she had run like a frightened womp rat and in his blind
rage he had succumbed to the temptation not pausing to consider that maybe she
had a plan with this realization came another certainty even more
gut-wrenching he was relieved he hadn't killed her
Snoke had always encouraged him to pursue his impulses they were a shortcut
to the dark side and unimaginable power but his impulse to kill Ray had almost
ruined everything he'd been planning kylo didn't know how to reconcile that
the path to the dark side Lane succumbing to one's desires but
deepest desire the thing he wanted most would require planning and patience the
emperor had figured out how to embrace a plan so long suffering and painstakingly
careful it boggled the mind and he did it without being tempted by the light
even a little there was a way he just had to learn it Kyllo cents to tug in
the force as he stepped from billowing smoke into clear air far away rey stood
in the sand straining her arm reaching toward a flying transport and she was
succeeding in slowing it down it didn't matter what or who what was inside the
transport that made rey desperate to prevent its escape he was not going to
let her have it he reached out felt the massive machinery in his mind yanked it
towards himself the transport almost jerked out of her grip and she grasped
at the familiar presence Kyllo alive and well Rey would not let him have chewie
chewie was hers she strained to regain control and she felt the ship lurched in
her direction but then it whipped right back ray tried to remember her training
let the force guide your actions Leia would say but thinking of Leia her
training even for the briefest moments made her lose concentration and the ship
listed again in Kyler's Direction sir a bore down with all the strength of her
being blood screamed in her ears and her heart was a massive drum in her chest
she drew on her rage at kylo at the first order even an in corporate she
drew on her terror for Chuy's life remembered what it felt like to watch
Han Solo drop into the abyss at Starkiller base she drew on pain to the
aching hollowness of an empty stomach the bruised knuckles with no back to the
soothed them the feel of grit in her molars after a windy day the dagger
sharp silence of loneliness Rey opened her mouth in a silent scream raw power
burst from her fingertips art towards the freighter it was Blue Lightning pure
force energy brighter than a lightsaber hotter than a Sun
wrapped its deadly crooked fingers around the transport which jerked
sideways for the briefest instant and then exploded into a sickening fireball
I like Howard said Crooked Fingers gonna like Palpatine's and it's talking about
lightening that was very well-written ray stumbled back gasping for air as
bits of wreckage rained down on to the desert plane the transport and everyone
inside reduced to nothingness she stared down at her hand in horror then at the
bits of wreckage her stomach heaved and finally she screamed chewy as tears
poured down her sorry if those two letters I mean I'm in the scene as tears
poured down her cheeks what has she done a voice penetrated her haze of guilt
madness ray it was Poe calling to her they're coming he pointed toward the
horizon and she turned half a dozen first-order ties were quickly
approaching but chewy he I'm sorry Poe yelled but we
have to go now his voice along with Finn's rapid
approach convinced her feet to move she would not lose any more friends
she hurried forward she hurried toward Finn and together they ran for the ship
from a distance kylo Ren watched the freighter rise into the sky
Rey inside it she had beaten him again and yet he was filled with triumph man
did she really beat him I thought he was toying with her come on let's give kylo
one point once he'd been right to push her she had just demonstrated
unbelievable mind-blowing power dark power Sith power the scavenger was
almost ready to turn and when she did they would both kill their light embrace
their darkness then the Star Destroyer fleet and the Sith throne would be
theirs and then goes on to chapter 8 so this is pretty sweet man it really goes
into what I like about that I'm gonna get to the Plagueis novel in a bit what
Plagueis actually says about Force Lightning what I like about this is that
it goes into detail on her using the light side trying to remember what ray
said and then being like you know what this is confusing me or just distracting
me I'm gonna pull on my emotions which is a very safe thing to do and uses that
a few her and unbeknownst to her force
lightning which is hotter than his son it's interesting could melt the whole
planet so Darth Plagueis in the novel in the
legends novels not canon explains force lightning to Sidious for the first
Palpatine young Palpatine very young Palpatine for the first time and he says
this a Jedi sufficiently strong oh should I should have acted right
hopefully it's not cringe worthy a Jedi sufficiently strong in the force can be
trained to produce a four simile but not true Sith lightning which unabated has
the power not only to in Casa pate incapacitate or kill but to physically
transform the victim force lightning requires strength of a sort only a Sith
can command because we accept consequence and reject compassion to do
so requires a thirst for power that is not easily satisfied the force tries to
resist the callings of ravenous spirits therefore it must be broken and made a
breast of burden a beast of burden not breast sorry it must be made to answer
one's will but the force cannot be treated differentially in order to
summon and use force lightning properly you will someday have to be on the
receiving end of its power as a means of taking the energy inside yourself so
interesting so a Jedi is sufficiently strong in the force can be trained to
produce a facility but not truce if lightning which unabated has the power
not Erlinda can incapacitate or kill but to physically transform the victim force
lightning requires strength of only of a sort only a Sith can command because we
accept consequence so it's interesting here what's she doing that as a Jedi if
she was then the freighter shouldn't really have exploded because it wouldn't
have been powerful enough it wouldn't have been true Sith lightning as
Plagueis says it has the power not only to kill but to physically transform the
victim which was sit lightning so I'm thinking she really drew upon the
Sith powers at this point that you know the powers that were within her and her
bloodline and if that's the case then Rey is not really a Joe at least for
that moment she wasn't really a Jedi she was definitely a sith because the Sith
think inwards and they draw upon themselves and their emotions and their
pain and everything that she was drawing upon so it really shows that naturally
she is more akin to using those abilities and powers but it's what she
does with those powers that defines her in the light or the dark which is like
what Dumbledore says to Harry which paraphrasing it is not our abilities who
make us who we are but our choices I think that's what he said so this is
interesting I like this excerpt from the novel I
think it's cool but why does kylo say that she beat him again come on come on
man I thought he was toying with her the whole time oh well what can I say
maybe Carla will have his day one don't know he's dead maybe he'll have his day
one day and like some solo spin-off or something like that so let's spin off
I'm just all with the puns today without even knowing alright that's it for
today's video stay safe everyone check out the gaming channel if you haven't
and I'll see you in tomorrow's actually I'll see you in Litton i'ts podcast at 5
p.m. so in about 4 hours okay love you all and may the force be with you
see you guys
