Everybody loves a good movie theory, and literally thousands of them have been conceived over the years.
Could Thanos be an evolved version of Red Skull in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Did Patrick Bateman imagine the murderous events of American Psycho?
And is Emily actually Andy's mother in the Toy Story movies?
Those are just a few examples thought up by movie buffs; and Star Wars fans are no different...
In fact there are probably more theories about Star Wars than there are about any other movie franchise in existence.
Such is the level of enthusiasm from the Star Wars fan base.
< "It's hard to create problems, and certainly then, confirm them."
In this video will run you through just a few of those theories to have been thought up in recent years.

< "And these... blast points... too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise."
One of the most well known traits of Star Wars' Stormtroopers is their terrible aim.
Seriously they might as well be firing jelly from their blasters.
They don't even hit a single main protagonist on the whole saga.
Those guys couldn't hit a barn door from 5 yards away, could they?
This particular theory suggests that Stormtroopers might not actually be as useless as popular culture has made them out to be.
Why? Well, because the Force is actually responsible for their poor aim.
In 2016's Rogue One, the blind, Chirrut Imwe, walks through a barrage of Stormtrooper blasts without getting hit.
"I'm one with The Force. The Force is with me."
While his buddy, Baze Malbus, gets hit almost instantly.
The thing is, Imwe is chanting about The Force the whole time.
The fact that he is Force-sensitive protects him against the blasts.
It would explain why the likes of Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan, and those near to them
avoid getting hit in all of their appearances.
By the way would you like to know a really fun fact about Stormtroopers?
Well stick around till the end and we'll give you one!
> "Well, then, the Droid does belong to you." < "I don't seem to remember ever owning a Droid."
Having watched the prequel trilogy in which Obi-wan Kenobi becomes very
familiar with both C-3PO and R2-D2. It was later highlighted as something of a plot hole
in 1977's A New Hope when the veteran Jedi appeared to not recognize the two droids.
< "Hello there." > [beeps in response]
However this particular theory suggests that she actually did.
< "Very interesting."
When Luke suggests that R2 belongs with him, Obi-Wan responds by saying, "I don't seem to remember owning a Droid."
But that is technically true, and doesn't actually suggest that he doesn't know who R2 is.
Moreover Obi-wan fairly nonchalantly mentioned that R2D2 should be able to interpret the entire Imperial Network
which is an incredibly bold thing to assume if he doesn't know what R2 is truly capable of.
It actually makes far more sense to assume that he knows exactly what R2 is capable of, and did in fact recognize him.
Which removes the annoying plot hole that so many people claimed was gaping.
Are you convinced? Let us know.
2016's Rogue One has some pretty sweet reveals in it.
Arguably the coolest of all those reveals was the fact that Darth Vader was living In an awesome-looking castle on Mustafar.
the planet where he lost his legs and became terribly scarred from a duel with obi-wan Kenobi.
Seriously, the place wouldn't have looked out of place in Mordor.
Obviously this showcased how terrifying and badass Vader is
but one theory suggests that it points towards something else happening going forward
Could it be where Kylo Ren headed after the events 2015's The Force Awakens?
It's no secret hat Ren is absolutely obsessed with his grandfather's legacy.
So it certainly makes sense that he would like to inhabit the spectacular castle that he once lived in.
The castle style also suits Ren's look and aura to a "T" which makes the theory make even more sense.
Is Vader's awesome lava castle somewhere you'd like to see the evil Kylo Ren inhabiting going forward in the Star Wars franchise?
Make sure you tell us your thoughts about the prospect.
> "You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open."
< "I will remove these restraints and leave the cell with the door open."
Okay, Now we're coming to a trio of theories about the identity and heritage of Daisy Ridley's 'Rey' in the Star Wars franchise.
The first of which involves a certain Jedi that's not the one you might think.
The common conclusion to come to regarding Rey is that she's related to Luke Skywalker in some way,
but this theory suggests she may actually be related to Obi-Wan Kenobi, more specifically she's his granddaughter.
The reason for that theory? Well, like Rey, Obi-Wan was once a rebellious young Jedi.
It was Obi-Wan's voice Rey heard calling out her name during her vision induced by a lightsaber.
"Rey?"
Apart from C-3PO, only Obi-Wan and Rey have British accents in the franchise.
Seriously, even other British actors in the franchise speak with American accents.
She uses the Jedi Mind Trick which is Obi-Wan's trademark ability.
> "Move along."
< "Move along! Move along!"
Her costume is similar to Obi-Wan's in the prequel trilogy,
and, well, we could go on but you get the point here.
The bigger question however is this: Who did Obi-Wan get it on with in order to extend his bloodline?
There seems to be only like... five or six women in the entire galaxy, so, could Rey be a Kenobi?
Are you more convinced by one of the next two theories?
> "You know how to use one of those?" < "Yeah... You pull the trigger." > "...a little bit more to it than that."
Alternatively could Rey actually be a Solo?
There's a lot less evidence pointing toward that being the case than there is for the previous theory,
but the evidence that does exist for this theory is fairly compelling.
Those who have speculated that she could be the daughter of Han Solo and Leia Organa
believe so because that would make her Kylo Ren's sister
and Ren totally freaked out when he heard a mention of a girl
"What girl?!"
Did he know his sister was nearby?
Also Rey bonds extremely quickly with Han Solo upon meeting him.
It's almost as if the bond is so natural that it's a father-daughter bond.
Moreover Rey shows a real aptitude for piloting the Millennium Falcon
which could be due to the fact that there's a genetic component involved in such a skill.
This theory does make you wonder why Han and Leia would have abandoned Rey on a desert planet all those years ago.
But maybe she was just an incredibly irritating little kid?
Do you think there's any chance at all that this theory could be true? Give us your thoughts.
Still there's one more Rey theory to get through yet, so hold that thought for now
"You will find that it is you who are mistaken..."
"...about a great, many, things."
The final theory regarding Rey's heritage is a bit more out there
And it's one that in spite of how much they want to know fans might not like it
if it turns out to be true. Could Rey actually be a Palpatine?
That's right there's actually a theory that suggests Rey could be a Sith descendant and have a gene that will go on to make her incredibly wrinkly and gross.
> "The emperor does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation."
An extremely well researched and compelling case for Rey's villainous ancestry has been made.
Sith don't adhere to the same moral code as Jedi which means that there's every chance
Emperor Palpatine could have sowed his seed across all corners of the Galaxy.
A number of Rey's lightsaber techniques are very reminiscent of the way Palpatine Wields his lightsaber
and the musical score associated with her character isn't too dissimilar to his.
Nobody wants to imagine the evil Emperor doing-the-deed, but sadly this theory forces us to do exactly that.
Could this crazy theory actually be true or are those behind it just being silly?
By withholding her back-story, Disney has done a great job building up hype around Rey,
and her role in the unfolding Star Wars saga... To say nothing of the films themselves.
Fact is, with little to go on but a few cryptic references, fans are left to speculate on how Rey fits into the larger story.
Fan speculation is what drives the series.
Disney has hit upon a terrific marketing tool to keep us all on the hook for the next installment.
We suspect they'll do the same for the ninth episode due out in 2019.
So don't expect to get all the answers with the release of The Last Jedi later this year.
We're eager to know more about Rey, Finn, and the rest of the characters. Aren't you?
Post your opinion in the comment section below.
We're really interested to hear your thoughts on this.
From the moment the first Star Wars movie was released back in 1977,
Darth Vader has been thought of as the out-and-out villain of the franchise.
The prequel trilogy then showed How he became evil having previously been a promising Jedi,
but he was considered completely bad, dark, and nefarious from A New Hope onwards. But is that actually the case?
This theory suggests Vader wasn't fully evil until after the first installment of the Star Wars franchise.
When you think about it it actually makes a lot of sense.
In A New Hope, Vader is a lot more pleasant than when he cuts his son's hand off in Empire Strikes Back;
Apart from one Force Choke incident he's generally quite polite to his Death Star co-workers and in Rogue One
it actually explains what made him become more evil thereafter: He let the Death Star plans slip through his fingers on two occasions and was unable to prevent
the rebels from destroying it. Moreover he found out that the person responsible for its destruction was his son not to mention the fact that
he actually found out said son was alive and that the Emperor had been lying to him for decades prior to the events of the movie.
What do you think? Was Vader actually redeemable up until then? Was he only fully evil after the events of A New Hope? Tell us your thoughts.
< "Did you ever hear The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"
Well earlier in the video we looked at three different theories about the heritage of Rey,
and now it's time to look at two about the identity of the mysterious Supreme Leader, Snoke.
This first theory suggests that Snoke is actually a Sith Lord.
It'll probably be one we already know. That has led some people to believe that
Snoke is actually Palpatine's mentor Darth Plagueis.
He certainly seems to be the best candidate although some people have theorized he could even be Darth Vader
or Palpatine himself as it would certainly make a lot of sense in the prequel trilogy.
Plagueis supposedly discovered the secret to extending life and preventing death.
< "He could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create... Life."
It was a technique Palpatine apparently stole when he murdered his mentor,
but bearing in mind that he had discovered the key to NOT DYING
How could he possibly have been killed at all? Maybe Plagueis lives on?
Continuing to preach the ways of the Dark Side as Supreme Leader Snoke and their similar theme music would certainly back up this theory.
Or could Snoke be a more well-known character from the Star Wars mythos?
Let's move on to the next theory
So it's on to our next theory about Supreme Leader Snoke; and this one suggests that he might actually be none other than Boba Fett.
We really don't know that much about Snoke, other than the fact that he appears to be terribly disfigured.
Could that disfigurement have occurred through being half-digested in the stomach of a Sarlacc? The people behind this theory say, "Yes."
Snoke could actually be the thought-dead Boba Fett, returned from the depths of Jabba the Hutt's Sarlacc Pit.
Remember how it was Han Solo who accidentally ignited Fett's rocket pack, sending him into the Sarlacc's mouth?
It would certainly explain why Snoke made such a concerted effort to corrupt Solo's son, as Boba would definitely want revenge on Han if he was still alive.
Can you imagine Snoke with a rocket pack though? [laughs] That would look pretty damn ridiculous.
Do you think the theory is plausible? Who else do you think Snoke could be? Let us know!
As if Jar Jar Binks wasn't universally hated enough already...
< "Me-sa called Jar Jar Binks! Me-sa your humble servant."
"That won't be necessary."
Seriously we all despise him, right? This recent theory will potentially make you hate him even more!
It suggests that the annoying Gungan is actually an accomplished Dark Force user and a secret Sith Lord.
Jar jar appeared in all three installments of the Star Wars prequel Trilogy
Albeit only extremely briefly in 2005's Revenge of the Sith, and he just didn't win fans over at all.
But was he actually a Dark Force user orchestrating events in secret? Let's look at the evidence.
He does all kinds of clumsy stuff that always seems to work out like acrobatic dives, and leg sweeps.
He seems to display skill in the martial Arts form known as Zui Quan [醉拳]
or 'Drunken Fist' which, while uneasy on the eyes is very effective.
He seems to get lucky a lot, but Obi-Wan has suggested that luck doesn't exist in the Star Wars universe.
He seems to make subtle gestures at pivotal moments such as when he's offered a seat on the Galactic Senate.
And when he's promoted to Bomba General of the Gungan Grand Army.
< "General?!" [Sighing exhale] *Thud*
Suggesting he's performing mind tricks in order to make them happen the theory also suggests
he's in cahoots with Palpatine as they grew up on a nearby planets.
Which is like being next-door neighbors in the Star Wars universe.
And he can be seen hanging out with the Emperor in Revenge of the Sith.
Could jar Jar's idiocy be an elaborate act performed by an evil genius trying to deceive everyone?
What do you think?
< "Go!" > "I need a weapon!"
< "You have one!"
*Th-pew!* [into low hum]
Oh! And that fun fact about stormtroopers we promised you at the start?
Well here it is: Stormtroopers were originally intended to wield lightsabers!
That's right the elegant energy blades were meant to be far more commonplace in the star Wars universe
Prior to George Lucas limiting them to Jedi and Sith. Hey, the Stormtroopers would probably been
far more successful when it came to hitting things if they had lightsabers, right?
