if you would join us hey everyone how are you doing today
happy revenge of the fifth with the end of the Clone Wars I figured this would
be an interesting video to cover now I will mention at the very beginning that
this is legends that said it is written by Matthew Stover who wrote The Revenge
of the Sith novelization so with that said let's go for words what the Empire
told Luke about Anakin's death or how the Empire said Anakin Skywalker died
during order 66 after Anakin's turned to the dark side at Palpatine's feet he was
deemed as Darth Vader and no longer Anakin Skywalker his transition into
self hatred was a relatively fast process from his betrayal of mace windu
to raiding the Jedi at the temple killing the younglings and the
separatists and then finally choking Padme and becoming Darth Vader once he
wore the suit he had fully transformed into Vader and any memory of Anakin was
just that a memory now so how did the Empire say Anakin Skywalker died what
story did they make up for the Clone Wars hero now that he had become the
mysterious Darth Vader which not many knew about in the now legends novel Luke
Skywalker and the shadows of min door it explains the universally acknowledged
story of Anakin's demise this book was composed by Matthew Stover who also
wrote The Revenge of the Sith novelization so we can assume this is an
answer that maybe George accepted as well I'm going to read a passage from
the book where Luke is finally hearing the story which was widely accepted
throughout the galaxy about his father here we go kid in the Clone Wars
everyone knew him he was the greatest hero in the galaxy when he died it was
just like the end of the universe Nick's got twisted again at the memory it
bloody well was the end of the Republic Luke stopped he looked like something
hurt when he to hide and it came to a halt gratefully bending over with hands
on his knees while he tried to catch his breath way I heard it he was the last
Jedi standing in the temple Massacre when Vader's 501st went in killed all
the Padawans what that's where your father was killed
defending children in the Jedi temple he was not only the best of the
Jedi he was the last nobody ever told you the story
Luke's eyes were closed against some inexpressible pain that's not the way I
heard it what I find odd and interesting about this is that if this was so widely
accepted seeing as how Nick was surprised Luke
never heard the popular story then why does the Empire shade the clone troopers
in such a bad lighting seeing as how some of them still served
in the Empire and were now stormtroopers also in the book patterns of the force
which I don't consider to be notable at all for our answer even this ones even
though the storms legends - I'll add it here anyways because the information is
Nan's never bet Jax Pavan searches for how anakin died whereas most jedi have
complete stories Anakin's is just one sentence jax recalled one of the rumors
of where and how anakin was supposed to have died on Mustafar thrown into the
magma steam but no one knew by who since the first book was written by the same
author as a novelization for Revenge of the Sith for our legends answer here I'm
gonna accept this as more of an accepted one than just legends at least for the
George Lucas era now with the Clone Wars finale having come to an end that final
scene was one of the most emotional and breathtaking scenes that we've gotten in
animation and in Star Wars in general so I felt this video was fitting to explain
and show at least you know in this proper legends information how the
galaxy or rather how the Empire made it look like Anakin died let me know what
you think about the information and if we'll get anything in Canon someday I'd
love to know how they changed the story and what they'll say about Anakin have
an awesome rest of your day and happy Revenge of the fifth
fulfill your destiny
you
