That’s how strong the dark side was in Luke Skywalker
General THAT'S HOW STRONG THE DARK SIDE OF LUKE SKYWALKER REALLY WAS It’s no secret that Luke Skywalker was arguably one of the most powerful Jedi in the history of the Star Wars canon. But his power has only recently been redefined, as Luke has recently shown his strength on the dark side of the Force in a new comic. This extract from the comic also shows why the Emperor was so keen to turn the son of his right-hand man Darth Vader to the dark side in the 6th instalment of the classic Star Wars trilogy, and why he was even willing to sacrifice his loyal servant Darth Vader to do so. But how strong was the dark side of Luke Skywalker, the shining hero of the galaxy, really? Chapter 1 Luke’s first contact with the dark power The movie “Star Wars Episode 5 – The Empire Strikes Back” already makes it clear that the aspiring Jedi carries dark power within him. When the aspiring Jedi met Master Joda after a vision in which Obi Wan Kenobi told him to visit the planet Dogba, he taught him the most basic things about the Force. The dark side of the Force was something that all Jedi had to learn about. Yoda also decided to introduce Luke to the dark forces and show him how to resist them. In fact, Luke often asked himself what the difference was between the dark and light side of the Force. Yoda explained to him that fear, anger and aggression were the ways of seduction and that this led to the malevolent Dark Side. The next day, Yoda led him to a dark and secluded place on Dagobah. Under a tree was a cave where Luke was surprised to meet Darth Vader. Luke instinctively pulled out his lightsaber and hatefully cut off the Dark Lord’s head. As Vader’s decapitated head rolled to the side, Luke recognised his own face inside the helmet before it vanished into thin air. Chapter 2 Marvel Comic „Star Wars“ Ausgabe 43: Roter Kyberkristall In the comic volume 43 entitled ‘Star Wars’, the young Jedi Luke Skywalker ventured into a red kyber crystal with the intention of cleansing the red bled-out crystal from the dark side with the help of the light side. This methaphysical journey led Luke directly into the clutches of a sentient journey to an ancient Sith. This legendary Sith was none other than the one who made this crystal bleed. While the young Skywalker was trapped in the methaphysical plane to heal the crystal, this mysterious man was working to pull the son of Darth Vader to the dark side, as his spirit was still trapped in the crystal. To do this, the nameless man dropped Luke down various chasms in a completely red-coloured planet. Luke was locked up in a prison cell and this Sith lured the Jedi to the dark side. To do this, the mysterious man triggered a sore spot in Luke that the aspiring Jedi carried a lot of: pain! The pain of losing his family, the pain that Palpatine’s right-hand man, Darth Vader, was his father and, above all, the permanent loss of his hand, which he lost in the battle against his father in the movie Star Wars Episode V. The nameless Sith left Luke in his cell and abandoned him to his fate. The young Skywalker looked at his severed hand and paused for a moment. He utilised the pain caused by the injury, the loss of his hand, and let out a powerful Force blast that blew out the bars of his cell. This scene gives the reader insight into how Luke Skywalker meditated on the pain of his severed hand for a few minutes before generating an enormous Force energy blast, which we can assume must be purely from the dark side. Although Sith like Darth Vader have achieved even more powerful abilities with the help of the dark side, the fact that his father, unlike Luke, was trained in these abilities for years should be taken into account here. In the case of young Skywalker, it was merely a brief reaction that symbolises how much Darth Vader’s son is also driven by the dark side of the Force. The young Skywalker was one of the biggest rejecters of the dark side. It was all the more paradoxical, however, that he had one of the greatest potentials in the entire Star Wars cosmos to become the most successful Sith ever. . Chapter 3 What if Luk had turned to the dark side If the young rebel hopeful had fully committed himself to the dark side, Luke Skywalker would have become an unstoppable Sith with a master like Emperor Palpatine. The most powerful Sith there ever was and probably ever would have been. But this scenario is quite unlikely, as it begs the question of whether Emperor Palpatine would never have allowed this to happen? Darth Siddius was never prepared to share his place, the leadership of the Empire and subsequently the galaxy, with his partner! For this very reason, Darth Vader’s master is always glad that his apprentice relies on his iconic black armour. As well as having complete control over Vader, the armour also gave him complete control over his sidekick. This meant that he always had leverage over Vader and at the same time the knowledge that he would always be superior to his pupil. And it is precisely this aspect that would be lost with Luke Skywalker! From the Emperor’s point of view, it is therefore unthinkable that a Sith with Luke Skywalker’s abilities would grow up alongside Darth Siddius. Only a small ‘accident’, which the Emperor would perfidiously stage, could help the Emperor’s plans to realise his plans without the danger that his sidekick would one day become more powerful than himself. This could take the form of armour similar to that used on Darth Vader or some other deformation of the young
The big Darth Vader quiz
What if Qui Gon had killed Darth Maul
What if QUI-GON WOULD HAVE KILLED DARTH MAUL Qui Gon knelt patiently on the floor. Fully focussed, with the knowledge that the energy gate separating his Padawan Obi Wan Kenobi and Qui Gon Jin was closing so that together they could continue to defeat the mysterious Sith Darth Maul with his iconic double-bladed sword, he knelt on the floor to meditate during the short breather. When the gate opens again, Qui Gon activates his lightsaber at lightning speed and attacks the tattooed Sevrik. It only occurred to him later that his student Obi Wan could help him when the energy gate closed again and he was pinned between the gates once more. Heavy blows followed, one harder than the other. The experienced Jedi, who was currently fighting alone against his adversary, noticed how his opponent was gradually losing patience. The experienced Jedi foresaw a feint by Maul that would counter his lightsabre combat form. So Anakin’s discoverer deviated from his usual fighting form and countered his adversary’s sneaky attack. Instead of striking from above like his opponent, he wiped his lightsaber through Darth Maul’s stomach from the side, which split the antagonist of the first Star Wars film in two! Lying on the ground, the deformed Sevrek didn’t beg for mercy at all, but used the last of his strength to shout at Qui Gon Jin that his revenge was coming and that one man would destroy them all…. Darth Siddius. Chapter 1 Who was Darth Siddius? Three years went by… The last words of the double-bladed warrior left big questions unanswered and were not to leave Master Joda or the entire Jedi Order in peace. Ever since the events on Naboo, the Jedi had been puzzling over who this ominous Darth Siddius could be! As the name contains the well-known first name ‘Darth’, which characterises a Sith, the Jedi realised that they were dealing with a serious threat. Stunned, they realised that for decades they had been under the misapprehension that they had defeated their adversaries, the Sith! The Jedi and higher ranks of the Jedi Order had no answer to the question ‘Who was Darth Siddius?’ mentioned at the beginning. Chapter 2 Training to become a Jedi As the story progressed, it was not Obi Wan Kenobi who would take over the young Skywalker’s training, as was already known in the canon, but his discoverer Qui Gon Jin. The experienced Jedi knew how important his mother was to Anakin Skywalker, who grew up on the desert planet of Naboo. Based on this indicator, the wise master taught the aspiring Jedi early on in his training that Anakin should always trust his feelings. He shouldn’t suppress them, as many Jedi and Jedi Masters would have him do. Instead, he should accept the feelings that arise and see them as part of him. Even if the Jedi Council did not entirely agree with Qui Gon Jin’s methods of teaching the Jedi, Anakin Skywalker and his master made a great team! But what happened to Obi Wan Kenobi later on? After the events on Naboo, the Jedi, who was still in training at the time, completed his exams and became a Jedi Knight! But after just a few weeks, the former pupil of Qui Gon Jin was already behaving very differently from usual. It appeared that Obi Wan Kenobi was avoiding his former master. The newly minted Jedi felt neglected and outcast, as all eyes were on Qui Gon and the young Skywalker after Maul’s death, even though Obi Wan had also played a significant part in the fight against the Sith. This growing and ever-increasing resentment, coupled with dissatisfaction with Anakin’s Jedi Council training, was to have even more serious consequences…. Chapter 3 Captivity 7 years later…. A mysterious arrow from a bounty hunter led Obi Wan, now an experienced and powerful Jedi, to the isolated planet of Kamino to check on the current state of production of the clone army commissioned by the Senate, and then to Gionosis, where he discovered a secret droid factory! The hidden modern production facility for battle druids strongly indicated that the armies produced here were being prepared for war! This worried Obi Wan and so he sent a radio message to Coruscant. However, the normally cautious Jedi caused too much of a stir and was taken into custody. The Republic had to set out immediately to rescue Jedi Kenobi, who was serving loyally for the Senate! However, they lacked both the resources and the army to do so. Qui Gon Jin and Anakin were unaware of all the turmoil in the galaxy, as the two had gone into exile to Aldeolin, a small river moon in the Alterim, years ago. In the past, disputes arose time and again that were never fully resolved, so Anakin’s discoverer, who later became known as Darth Vader, moved into exile. And so the two lived in exile on Aldolin as pupil and master, meditating and training for the great day when Anakin would fulfil his great prophecy. Chapter 4 double game On Gionosis, however, Count Dooku, the former master of Qui Gon Jin and disciple of Grand Master Yoda, confronted his new prisoner. He told him about the doomed Jedi Order and how a dark Sith named Darth Siddius had been leading the Jedi Order around by the nose for years. Obi Wan remembered the name mentioned. After all, it was none other than the one the mysterious warrior with the double-bladed sword had mentioned. When Dooku offered to ally with him after a heated discussion, Obi Wan saw this as the ideal opportunity to act as a double agent and agreed to the offer. Chapter 5 Order 66 It’s been 3 years and we’re in the middle of the Clone Wars when one order changes everything: Order 66! Everywhere the clones turned against their Jedi and liquidated them in a treacherous manner. Chancellor Palpatine, who turned out to be the Emperor and ruler of
What if Darth Vader had died during his operation?
What if Darth Vader would have died during his operation One of the most iconic and probably most influential battles in the Star Wars universe is the one between disciple and master. Friend against foe. Jedi versus Sith, fought by Anakin Skiwalker in the third movie of the Prequil Trilogy, who had previously been given the new name Darth Vader by his master, and his former master and friend Obi Wan Kenobi. To summarise, Obi Wan Kenobi was able to win the battle despite his poor starting position. Anakin’s legs were separated from his body and caught fire during a choreography that he had arrogantly performed. Obi Wan Kenobi could not bring himself to give his former student and friend the deathblow and so he left him to his fate. Darth Siddius found his apprentice, had him flown to Corussant and performed emergency surgery on his new apprentice. But what if Darth Vader had not survived this operation? Chapter 1 Lack of planning When the Emperor learnt of the incident, he was naturally furious. Darth Siddius was furious and went to the operating theatre, fearing that this key moment could derail his plans, which had been planned down to the last detail. Once there, the emperor simply destroyed everything. He hurled every druid present there, every guard and even Vader’s dead body through the air. His decades-long plan, all foiled. Was it a mistake by the druids? Was Siddius too late? Or did Vader simply want to die himself? The Emperor became more evil than ever. Chapter 2 New student The Emperor’s perfidious plan was to fail because he no longer had a pupil, since Count Dooku’s death was also part of this master plan? That wasn’t quite the case. There was one person in the Star Wars universe who could have challenged Anakin for his place at Palpatine’s side: Darth Maul He escaped from Siddiu’s captivity and was now in exile. However, it was no problem for the Emperor of the Galaxy to track down the fighter with his legendary double-bladed sword on the planet ‘Malochov 5’. But how could one justify a breach of trust committed by the Emperor against his former pupil? After all, it was Palpatine himself who was responsible for splitting Darth Maul’s body in two and switching the apprentice to Anakin Skywalker. At first, the Emperor spoke gently and persuasively to the outcast apprentice. He wanted to appease him by making him believe that all the events that had happened to him were only tests to prove his true strength. He had passed them and could once again act as a disciple alongside the emperor. However, the Sevrek recognised Palpatine’s cunning and perfidious plan. The murderer of Qui Gon Jin had had enough of always standing in the shadow of Darth Vader and being the second choice and attacked the Emperor! A duel of pure passion and hatred ensued! Initially, the former and outcast apprentice even had the upper hand against the Emperor. However, the leader of the Sith was merely toying with his former pupil, making him believe he had a real chance against him. And so it was that Palpatine showed his true potential and cut off one of Maul’s hands and part of his face. The Emperor could have killed the Savrek on the spot, but he had other plans for him. So he put Darth Maul’s disfigured body into the armour that had been made for Anakin in case something happened to Darth Vadere one day. The armour not only helped Maul to regain his old strength, Siddius also had complete control over him. Chapter 3 Rache an Obi Wan Ultimately, however, the narrative continues as normal from the time of Darth Maul’s transformation into Darth Vader, as described in the canon. Luke and Obi Wan meet Han and Chui and fly to the Death Star to rescue Leya. Here, however, it is not Anakin or Darth Vader who meets Obi Wan, but Maul! And we all know from the series ‘The Clon Wars’ and the film ‘Solo’ how vengeful Maul was towards Obi Wan Kenobi! As in Star Wars Episode 4, Obi Wan lets himself be killed by Darth Vader. Chapter 4 Pure hatred The Sevrek thus got his intrinsic revenge on Obi Wan and was able to put the matter to rest. He is at peace with himself and, after killing kenobi, no longer sees any reason to follow the Emperor, as he has achieved his goal in life. However, the great Lord of the Sith doesn’t put up with this and immediately strikes Maul down without batting an eyelid. He goes completely mad: Everything he had ever worked for has been undone! The Emperor lost control and went into a dark side rage, unleashing a storm of power the likes of which the galaxy has never seen before. The Emperor destroyed the entire Death Star. What happened to him is still unknown. Perhaps he died! What is certain, however, is that we will see the Emperor again, as he himself had a plan B ready for his eventual demise. How do you like this fan theory, in which one of the most iconic villains of the movie and comic scene would never have existed, or would have existed in a different form? Would you have welcomed this fundamental change to the Star Wars storyline? And what did you think of Darth Maul as Palpatine’s sidekick in this story? Would he be a more loyal disciple than ‘The Chosen One’ ultimately was? After all, the Savrek had no offspring to convert him.
