if you would join us hey guys how y'all doing today you having a good day so far
so today's video is gonna be another one about something really interesting from
the labyrinth of evil book and you've been following the series then you know
that this book is between episode 2 & 3 pretty much just right before episode 3
happens and this topic is an interesting one because it's about obi wan wondering
if anakin can die due to the whole chosen one prophecy and him being chosen
one now until he was able to fulfill the prophecy of the chosen one there comes
the question could anakin actually die or would the force always make sure that
he survived that the force kind of give him plot armor almost this is a question
that obi-wan asked himself in the midst of seeing Anakin's amazing pilot skills
in a dogfight against general Grievous's forces in james Luciano's book labyrinth
of evil so just to give some context after having recovered nute gunray's
mech no chair that the nemedian left behind in his fortress during a hasty
evacuation following an invasion by the Republic the Jedi were able to override
some of the SIF devices security and gain limited access to the machines to
communications this allowed the Republic to listen in
on a holographic transmission from General Grievous revealing that the
outer rim planet of Alderaan was the new planned location for the separatist
leadership to make their next stronghold deciding to act on this intelligence the
Jedi sends a fleet to Bell Durham to await general Grievous's arrival in a
surprise attack among their forces are Anakin and obi-wan in their Jedi
fighters so here we go there is no death there was only the
force obi-wan wondered if he had ever witnessed a more lucid demonstration of
the Jedi axiom than Anakin's force entered death defying harassment of
Grievous's ship his spec of a star fighter all but nose-to-nose with the
mammoth Cruiser leaving obi-wan to deal with the vengeful droid fighters Anakin
was either ignorant of or deliberately disregarding he really is going to be
the death of me obi-wan mumbled but he wasn't
indifferent to his own fate wondering instead what if Anakin should be killed
as the chosen one was he destined to fulfill both the title and the prophecy
was he immune to real harm or as someone born to restore balance to the force did
he require defenders to guide him to that
destiny was it obi wan's duty more the duty of all the Jedi to see to it that
he survived at all costs was that what qui-gon had intuited so many years
earlier on Tatooine and that had motivated him to attack with such
resolve the Sith who had revealed himself in that parched landscape though
the cruisers shield was removing the sting of Anakin's laser bolts he could
not be deterred from persevering even obi wan's repeated attempts to hail him
through the battle net had had no effect but now the huge ship was beginning to
climb and reorient itself obi-wan thought for a moment that Grievous was
actually going to bring all forward guns to bear on Anakin instead the cruiser
continued to rise until it was well above the plane of the ecliptic with its
bow angled slightly core Ward then it fired now of course I can cover what
happens next in another video if you so wish but what do you think about obi-wan
thinking all of the stuff now until Anakin sacrifice on the second Death
Star did the force prevent him from dying either by providing protectors
like obi-wan or adjusting events in Anakin's favor even most of our saw him
survive where most others would have died from that kind of damage
sure Anakin was powerful but I mean he got all of his limbs pretty much chopped
off and then burnt alive then again we've seen more gruesome fates and Star
Wars such as Maul some would argue so what if he did die what if Anakin had
perished in the Clone Wars what would the ripple effect be for the
Jedi the Sith and the galaxy depending at which point in the war he died the
outcome would also be very different now this is a fanfiction I'd love to cover
because I've never done it what if Anakin Skywalker died like in this novel
if Grievous is flagship managed to destroy Anakin Luke and Leia might still
exist as Padme could be pregnant at this point she might just not have told
Anakin yet but if he had fallen earlier in the war then no Luke and Leia
regardless of when if the Clone Wars had been the end of Anakin would a new
chosen one have emerged or would the galaxy have to wait until the birth of
great Palpatine would she have been born if the emperor was never killed on the
second Death Star she is the child of his clone if no clone then no Rey
but if she still existed would she be living in a galaxy with a dysfunctional
New Republic or a Galactic Empire that never fell or an Old Republic that
never turned into the Empire in the first place there is another series of
books that cover the origin rise and death of Darth Bane the instigator of
the rule of two and in particular in the first of those books the Sith order
speak of their own prophesized one except they refer to this perfect being
as the Seth Ari now the Sith re which have made a video
on was said to be the ultimate Sith free of all restrictions who would lead the
Sith and then destroy them but through that destruction make them stronger than
ever most agree that Darth Bane is this Sith re for he did destroy the old order
of the Sith and replaced it with his own based on the rule of two but I would
like to propose the argument that the Jedi's chosen one and the sifts Seth re
are one and the same namely Anakin Skywalker both of these powerful
prophesized beings were said to be uniquely powerful or perfect and were
meant to destroy the Sith which Anakin did first he destroyed the Jedi than the
Sith thus perhaps making the Sith stronger as the prophecy states in the
sense that by bringing the force into balance its presence has actually felt
more potently a balanced force is a stronger force or is it the dark side is
quicker but ultimately it leads to nothing but destruction and is therefore
weaker in that regard by abandoning it the force becomes stronger now I'm not
saying this is my position at all but it's an interesting thought of course I
don't know where the Emperor's clone from rise of Skywalker fits into all of
this was he truly Darth Sidious possessing a clone body or some Darkseid
copy that had his memories and personality I'm still somewhat unclear
on that but I would like to believe at least from the book it stated more so
that his soul had gone into this body anyways guys let me know what you think
of the prophecy protecting Anakin from dying and if you think this theory that
the chosen one and the Sethe aria the same person could be true so this video
is kind of like a double whammy something funny also before we end the
video from this excerpt was that obi-wan says he really is going to be the death
of me and well for sure he was in the end from a certain point of view that is
you guys enjoyed this video leave a like if you did know catching the next one
until then remember my fellow Jedi and Sith friends the force will be with you
always
