Welcome back everyone, today were going way back to a long time ago, to a galaxy far,
far away - to look at peoples theories when it comes to Star Wars - but not just any fan
theories - the creepy ones - the ones that make the bad guys look worse and even the
good guys look kinda evil.
If youre not a Star Wars fan, youll love how crazy some of these are - if you are a Star
Wars fan, well join me as we try and break these theories down.
My name is Danny Burke and this is the Top 10 Scary Star Wars Theories.

was deciding which case to get - I thought there would only be one option but no - you
can choose from so many options - they’ve got them for iPhone, Galaxy and LG to name
but a few!
I chose to go with the iPhone 7 tough slide matte - I liked the black exterior on it.

Starting off at number 10 we have Darth Jar Jar.
This is perhaps one of the most famous and strangest star wars theories out there.
Jar Jar Binks has traditionally been seen as a bit of comic relief in Star Wars - a
gimmick character for the kids to help contrast the storys darker narrative.
This theory says youve got it all wrong.
Jar Jar Bink was actually a master of the force - specifically - the dark side.
Jar Jar appears to have physical skills that wed normally associate with force users - effortlessly
leaping and swimming at will.
During a battle scene, we see Jar Jar destroy a tank and a number of droids in what looks
like a lucky goof.
Believers in this theory say theres no such thing as luck - that all of the goofing around
is just a ploy to hide his true self from those around him.
Just like palpatine, he proves himself to be a powerful orator when in front of the
senate - some say he was actually using mind control.
The theory says that Jar Jar is essentially the dark side version of Yoda - someone who
seems like a bumbling creature on the outside - but is actually one of the most powerful
force users in the galaxy.
Next up at number 9 we have Owen and Beru[a].
Luke returning to his home on Tatooine to find that his Uncle Owen and and Beru had
been killed is one of the most devastating and iconic scenes in Star Wars.
Many people presumed that it was Stormtroopers that carried out the murders.
The thing is, thats generally just a presumption because the deaths don't appear on the screen.
Because of this, a vacuum has appeared for people to come up with their own theories.
One of them is that Boba Fett the bounty hunter carried out the killings.
People claim that the canon reveals that Boba Fett was on tatooine at the time - he had
the means and opportunity to kill Owen and Beru.
Theres also the fact that Owen and Beru were presumably killed because they refused to
give up information on Lukes whereabouts.
Darth Vader himself once stated that only he can carry out interrogations that result
in death - therefore stormtroopers would be forbidden from doing this - but not a bounty
hunter.
The next time we see Boba Fett, he's told by Vader to not disintegrate anyone - many
people feel this was a direct reference to him disintegrating Owen and Beru.
What do you guys think?
Coming in at number 8 now we have Sith Lord Qui Gon Jinn[b].
This one might break a few hearts - we all know Qui Gon Jinn was once to jedi apprentice
to Count Duku before he turned to the dark side.
Some people think that before he turned, he tainted Qui Gon with the same dark seeds that
led to his own fall from the light side.
In the first episode of the prequels, Yoda senses fear and anger in Qui Gon Jinn when
the jedi council refuses to train Anakin - people say these are not jedi like traits.
He decides to train Anakin himself.
The traditional view of this is that Qui Gon sees Anakins potential for good and decides
to do it himself.
This theory claims that Qui Gon, now on the dark side, decided to train Anakin because
he sees his potential for evil in the Galaxy.
Moving on to number 7 we have Darth Maul.
The first time we meet the Sith Lord Darth Paul is in 1999s Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
Some think that we actually saw his face a lot sooner.
In the scene from A New Hope where Luke tells Owen and Beru that the droids may have been
stolen, we see bit of their homestead.
Most people watch the characters or listen to the conversation - but some people looked
up.
There, on the ceiling - is a pattern that looks a like like Darth Mauls facial tattoos.
Now, there are number of theories going around about this.
One of them is that - its just a similar looking patter - people are reading into it too much.
On the other end of the scale though, some people think that it is Darth Mauls face pattern
on their ceiling and that means that Owen and Beru are in league with the Sith.
Yeah - I know - its a bit of a leap - but some people think its true.
They say that the Lars family were instructed to raise Luke and eventually bring him round
to the dark side.
Its a crazy theory - and a little bit scary - so thats why it made the list.
Next up at number 6 we have Forced Love.
For some Star Wars fans, the love between Anakin and Padme never looked like a match
made in heaven.
Why did Padme end up with a man she knew when he was just a boy?
Why does she seem to blindly abandon her own ideals for him?
For example - when Anakin slays an entire village of Sand People - men, women and children
- Padme tells him that being angry is natural and also uses it as a chance to tell him that
she loves him.
Thats a bit strange for a woman who was a staunch passafist when she was on senate.
The theory is that she is not really in love with Anakin - he is manipulating her with
the force to make her love him.
In the picnic scene, when Padme refers to herself as being weak minded, he doesnt contradict
her - is this because he agrees because he has had experience with manipulating her mind?
He may even be doing this subconsciously - what do you think of this theory?
Coming in at number 5 now we have Feral Ewoks[c].
Most people find Ewoks cute - look at them - theyre George Lucas’ excuse to bring teddy
bears to life.
Many fans don't like them - but they are there.
They help the rebels defeat the empire on Endor using little more than rope and arrows
- thats great - but they may also eat humans - not so great.
Why do people think this?
Well firstly, they almost served up Han and Luke as meals for the tribe.
People tend to forget about this because Leia arrived on the scene and saved them - but
without that - two of the heroes would have been torn apart and eaten by the Ewoks.
At one point, we see an Ewok using a pair of stormtrooper helmets as drums.
Some people think that those helmets are like the shells of a snail which has recently been
eaten.
Think about it.
Or don't.
Next up at number 4 we have Vaders Weakness.
Over the course of the Star Wars saga - we learn just how truly powerful Darth Vader
is - some even argue the strongest force user in all of history - and not too bad with a
lightsaber either.
It did come as a bit of a surprise then that Luke - a kinda scrawny guy with a relatively
recent training in the force - was able to really give Vader a run for his money when
they faced off at the end of Return of the Jedi.
Why is this?
Well, some people think its all down to Leia.
When the fight took place, Luke had recently learnt that Leia was his sister - Vader must
have also picked up on this and the knowledge that he has a daughter must have shocked him
to his core - not only that, he must have realised in that moment that he had been responsible
for torturing his own daughter and destroying her home planet - thats enough to distract
anyone while theyre fighting their son in a battle to the death.
Moving on to number 3 we have Emperor Ray[d].
In Star Wars, it sometimes feels like everyone is related to everyone - well - everyone except
Ray.
There has always been a lot of speculation about how Ray connects to the wider star wars
family - one theory has emerged that she is related to Emperor Palpatine - perhaps shes
even his Granddaughter.
There are a number of things that fans of this theory point to as proof.
Firstly - they say her fighting style is very similar to the way we see Emporer Palpatine
fight in Revenge of the Sith. Rey also seems to struggle with being pulled to aspects of
the darkside.
She loves telling Kylo Ren that hell never be as great as Darth Vader.
She also seems to
Next up at number 2 we have Hans’ Force[e].
It seems like Han Solo is the opposite of the force users in the movies - he doesnt
care for any of it - he mocks Luke and Obi Wan for their -hokey religion- and has no
need for a lightsaber with a blaster by his side.
However, some people have put forward the theory that Han is actually extremely force
sensitive - and that he could even be a jedi master with training.
If that sounds crazy, the support from this theory mainly revolves around Hans extreme
luck.
If you look at Hans story throughout the movies, you can see he manages to survive some pretty
impossible situations.
His survival seems to defy all odds.
Some say he's just lucky, others say that this was subconscious channeling of the force
- thats why when he mocks Obi Wan and his -hokey religion- … Obi Wan just smiles,
because he senses the force within Han Solo.
Im not sure about this one - I kinda like it though - what do you think?
And finally at number 1 we have Rey Is The Villain.
Some people, not many, but some people think that Rey is actually the villain of the latest
star wars movies.
They say that there is always balance in the force and that if Kylo Ren is to flip to the
good side by the end of the story - they Rey will be the one to flip to the dark side.
They say that we will find out she is the child or grandchild of a Jedi such as Obi
Wan and was left no a planet far away from the empire.
When she learns that she abandoned because of a rule about no children, she will be filled
with rage and sent over the edge - possibly learning all of this from Luke who had a similar
experience but did not turn.
As the icing on the cake - some have pointed out Reys accent - its an English accent and
if you havent noticed - all the bad guys, except for Obi Wan, pretty much have an English
accent.
John Boyega, who plays Finn, is also English but he was told to put on an American accent
for the character - not Rey though - is this accent a foreshadowing of events to come?
Or are all these just theories?
Let me know what youre favourite was - let me know which you think is the most likely
to happen.
Hopefully these theories don't look too ridiculous by the time the next movie comes out at the
end of this year.
