hey guys what's going on today we're gonna be covering another little excerpt
from the rise of Skywalker a novelization by Rae Carson we got it
right here and today we're gonna go over something that actually changes
something from Episode six how I feel about it
wow I'm kind of you know I'm a little sensitive when it comes to changing
stuff of you know the originals or the prequels so let's read it and then we
can talk about it and I want to know what you guys think in the comments
below about this alright so here we are at the bottom of page 210 and this is
basically where rey meets Palpatine for the first time and he tried to he's
trying to make her strike him down with all of her anger so that his spirit
lives in her the emperor said I'm gonna try to voice act it for you at least the
best as I can just make a little more fun the time has come as one thousands
of disciples fell to their knees chanting something in a language Rey had
never heard Palpatine's eyes widened with zeal with your anger you will take
my life and you will ascend as I did when I killed my master death Plagueis
he grinned showing great teeth and oozing red gums No raise your saber and
strike me down Rey frowned Luke had warned her about
this all you want is for me to hate but I won't not even you weak like your
parrots she shook her head my parents were strong they saved me
from you as if reading her thoughts about Luke the Emperor said and here it
is I've made this very proposal before but on that unfortunate day Luke
Skywalker had his father to save him you do not the cavernous room shook light
poured down as a vast stone ceiling opened revealing Star Destroyers
silhouetted against a furious sky the resistance fighters were gnats in
comparison darting in and out dodging fire from monstrous cannons and
final order ties explosions lit up the sky her friends were dying
they don't have long and you are the one who led them here
the Emperor pointed out tears filled her eyes
the resistance fighters were losing badly the Emperor was manipulating her
yes but he was doing it with the truth this was her fault strike me down take
the throne as Empress reign over the new Empire and the fleet will be yours to do
as you wish only you have the power to save them all refuse and your new family
days the thoughts welled in her head and she was until she was giddy about it
Empress would that be so bad maybe taking on this mantle would be worth it
to bring peace to save her friends the whole galaxy would have no choice but to
be saved race stared agonized at the battle above
her very well Palpatine said finish them wait she said
wait he paused thinking she was nearly his but her presence was making himself
known to her then she she senses Ben is has landed this is nearby and it goes
into detail on how he survived or how he left the ocean moon of Endor which I can
get to in another video just to have more content to make just being real but
also not to digress too far from this video as we've already covered two
points now so well three points actually it says first of all let's address the
fact that Palpatine ascended by killing his master with your anger you will take
my life as you will ascend as I did when I killed my master Darth Plagueis I wish
that was in the the movie it would be cool if we actually heard him say Darth
Plagueis again for the second time oh man these allergies are killing me
anyone else got allergies man cheese and then the the second part which is the
most important one which I want to talk about really retcon not retcons it
doesn't retcon i don't like that word because it's all a continuation but in
in a sense it changes your thinking so it it does in in a way retcon you're
thinking of what was the past and i guess it merely expands upon our
thinking I should say not necessarily retconning now remember that scene in
Return of the Jedi where the Emperor's like strike me down with all of your
anger and your journey to that dark side will be complete
something like that I believe and Luke turns around quickly you know summons
his lightsaber with the force and then just wants to slash down the Emperor but
Vader steps in and blocks it and the Emperor is laughing so during that scene
and I believe it's talking about that scene and not the scene where Vader
threw him over the shaft when he was electrocuting him because this falls in
tandem with what the emperor's new goal is here goal at least for us it's new we
find out that the emperor says if you strike me down your anger that will open
up your anger and then you I'll be able to transfer my said spirit into you
that's that's what I get from this so that scene where he was basically
reciting the original the same thing that he's reciting now where Luke was
gonna strike him down Vader saves his son and I suppose now in Canon this is
the first time that we have confirmation that Anakin was already out a Vader and
or at least in that moment had saved his son because he if he knew that if Luke
did strike him down then the Emperor would be able to transfer his essence
all considering and assuming that he was privy to the Emperor's new power of
transferring his essence he did have a Sith wayfinder 2x a goal so I assume he
knew a lot of this is assumption based on what were given here but I assume he
knew all about this sith transfer stuff it's it the essence transfer and perhaps
that was how he could have brought Padme back but of course it's impossible
because she doesn't know the ways of the force and she would have to be alive to
learn how to do that and and her sit her spirit was done she wasn't a force user
so we got that out of the way I suppose and we know that this is the scene where
Luke was gonna strike him down so in essence I guess this is really the first
moment where Luke saved his son whereas a lot of people in that scene watching
it for the first time or you know until now till maybe this book came out and
hopefully this video is the information
Luke was saved by his father but originally people thought that Vader was
saving Sidious which is not the case we now know that Vader was saving his son
which is pretty cool now if Luke had struck him down there's
a bit of a issue I have with this is I'm confused because I thought Palpatine
needed tissue just like his own DNA akin to his DNA to be able to transfer his
essence right that's why he wants ray because Rey is technically his daughter
because his son gave had Rey and his son was just a clone it was just a
malfunctioning clone that looked different and it was younger so really
biologically from a biological standpoint organic tissue standpoint Rey
is his daughter from a time standpoint and if we want to get into you know
semantics almost details yeah okay it's his granddaughter but not really you
know tissue wise it's pretty much the same now that clone which was his son
apparently was different but I don't see how it could be any different than his
own we're getting into biology or a little
bit I don't really understand it so we would have to know more about that case
but this is pretty cool stuff how I feel about you know I usually have an issue
when they retcon stuff but this is cool because it shows that Anakin was coming
about sooner than the very end of the film and we can kind of see that now
that he without Luke knowing saved him but we all thought that he was trying
and Luke probably thought he was trying to save the Emperor which is pretty
sweet to know now it also says in the book that Palpatine knew for a couple
years that Luke that Anakin was returning and Vader was having this
fluctuation between the light and dark and so he was he had gone to X goal and
he had crea origin of you went to X Co but he had started creating ways to
transfer his essence just in case it's a fail-safe plan if something were to
happen so this body that he created obviously wasn't perfected it wasn't the
right one it was just what he could use you know a fail-safe he was a backup and
he threw his consciousness into there and you before he hit the ground it said
before you hit the ground he had thrown his essence he had transferred a sand
essence into that body and was locked in it was trapped into this unfortunate
which was you know more than a clone less than a man as penalty and said so
that's an alts array wanted to be Empress you know for a moment she
thought it would be a good idea but she didn't realize that hey she would be
completely consumed by Pompton and he would just take over her body and
entirely and her mind and that that would be it
Palpatine has a girl maybe yeah I guess he doesn't care he just needs a vessel
but it still brings me back to if he needs a vessel why didn't he just take
over Ben if he needs someone with Organa it would
tissue just like his then why was he trying to take over Luke as it says in
the book that he tried this once before I'm gonna read it verbatim again it's
reading her thoughts man I've made this very proposal before but on that
unfortunate day Luke Skywalker had saved his father to save him you do not and
then Ben shows up so I guess I guess it's interesting its reversal
she's a Palpatine Ben's a Skywalker and it's cool it's poetic
it's a poetry it rhymes ISM George would say okay well that's all I want to
address in this video we're gonna go into some more topics and of course
lower topics and stuff we'll be returning but right now I'm just I'm
pretty interested with all the stuff in this book it comes out on the 17 so you
can check it out if you want and yeah I have an awesome rest every day leave a
like if you enjoyed this one and I catch you in the next one until then remember
the force be with you always see you guys
