Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
George Lucas ’s prequel trilogy presented all new characters , planet , and problems when it began in 1999 withStar war : Episode I - The Phantom Menace . It had the Herculean task of assay to satisfy fans ' curiosity about things only suggest at in his original trilogy ; Anakin Skywalker ’s bout to the dark side and the birth of Darth Vader , the glory days of the Jedi Order , the Clone Wars , the rise of the Galactic Empire , and the birth of Luke and Leia Skywalker .
It ’s been both reviled and revere by fans , and in may ways faced the same trouble of survive up to expectation thatStar war : The cost increase of Skywalkerdoes in complete the Skywalker saga . Lucas himself result a lot of loose remainder in the prequel trilogy , and some patch holes fans look it to quicken were left mystery . Below are 10 prequel storylines that were never break up byStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalker .
WHO WAS ANAKIN’S FATHER?
One of the big problems portray in the prequel trilogy concernedAnakin Skywalker ’s origins . see his incredibly high midi - chlorian count , Jedi Master Qui Gon Jinn pressed his female parent Shmi Skywalker into give away who his father was .
We ’re told she ca n’t explain how she got pregnant . One day babe Anakin appeared , and then she gave nascence to him . rooter have long question if the Sith chemistry Darth Plagueis and Sheev Palpatine were up to was behind Anakin ’s immaculate conception , but that was n’t something Palpatine revealed inThe Rise of Skywalker .
WOULD ANAKIN HAVE LEARNED HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM DYING?
After hearing the Sith legend of Darth Plagueis the Wise , Anakin Skywalker believes he might be able to learn the ability to keep the unity he loves from break . A Sith artistry , it is n’t something the Jedi would teach him , especially since they believe in becoming one with the Force and drop tie to the strong-arm realm .
Does Darth Sidious ever reveal this ability to Anakin ? When Anakin Force chokes his wife Padme , Sidious later reveal that he " killed " her . Would n’t it have made more sense for him to postulate the power to resurrect her from the dead , an ability on full display in a smorgasbord of ways inThe Rise of Skywalker ?
WHO INVENTED THE PROPHECY?
Much is made of the prophecy of the Chosen One , an ancient Jedi legend passed down for generations concerning an incredibly powerful mortal who would appear and would bring balance to the Force . It ’s never explicitly stated where the Prophecy come from , but because of Anakin Skywalker ’s high midi - chlorian count , Qui Gon believes he match into it .
Whether or not Anakin was ever truly the " Chosen One " was n’t established , but most mean in all probability not considering he fell to the dark side . He was redeem later by his boy Luke , so perhaps Luke was the pick out One ? Luke by and by renounced the Jedi Order inStar warfare : The Last Jedi , implying perhaps Rey woud be the one to institute balance to the Force inStar state of war : The Rise of Skywalker .
THE RULE OF TWO
InStar Wars : Episode I- The Phantom Menace , we hear Master Yoda explain the Rule of Two to Master Mace Windu . There are always ever two Sith , a passe-partout and an learner . Outside of the film , this rule was said to have been make by Darth Bane to curtail infighting between legion of Sith for ultimate power .
One of the biggest revelation inStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkeris that the Rule of Two was a Trygve Lie . Even when Palpatine explained to Anakin Skywalker thatDarth Plagueiswas killed by his prentice to gain control of his power ( that apprentice being Palpatine / Sidious ) , it appears his schoolmaster only inhabited his body . Does this stand for masters could seek out powerful apprentices without ever really fear when they turned on them ?
WAS BALANCE BROUGHT TO THE FORCE?
The prequel trilogy was the first to remark counterbalance being brought to the Force . That is n’t the take narrative in the original Star Wars films - they plainly concernLuke Skywalkerdefeating the Emperor and Darth Vader to salvage the galaxy and become a Jedi Knight .
InStar war : The climb of Skywalker , the granddaughter of the greatest dark side dynasty fights for the light side of the Force , while the grandson of the groovy light side dynasty fights for the dark side . Them struggle Emperor Palpatine together may represent the balance being restored , or perhaps it lies in their ability so sacrifice one another to save each other . It ’s never really explain .
HOW DID SIDIOUS/PALPATINE BECOME SO POWERFUL?
In the prequel trilogy , Darth Sidious is already a Sith Lord , fully detached from his master , Darth Plagueis , and doing his own scheming . We do n’t read anything about his tutelage , only that he killed his headmaster in his sleep , took all his Sith secrets , and cabal to lay the groundwork for the revenge of the Sith .
The Expanded Universe has gone into some detail about Sidious ’s early exploits , butStar Wars fans are n’t made full awarehow he grapple to get so powerful . Is it because he ’s not really Sidious?Star warfare : The Rise of Skywalkerimplies he might be Darth Plagueis , who upon his death just dwell Sidious as a means to pull ahead immortality .
HOW DID QUI GON LEARN THE PATH TO IMMORTALITY?
Master Yoda explain to Obi - Wan Kenobi that he can teach him how to commune with his former Master in the prequel trilogy , but it is n’t explicate how . In the TheClone Warsseries , we see Qui - Gon manifest as some globe to confer with Yoda , but it is n’t untilthe bookA Certain Point of Viewthat he manifests in a physical path .
In a brief encounter with Obi - Wan while Luke has start to check on Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru inStar Wars , his sea captain explainsthat the Force exists alfresco of time and space , and a Jedi must insert themselves back into a special timeline to seem as a Force ghost . This does n’t exculpate up why some Jedi ’s bodies become one with the Force by disappearing , and others ( like his ) remain to be burned on a funeral pyre .
WERE THE JEDI REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR GALACTIC CATASTROPHE?
In the prequel trilogy , Anakin is draw not only between the light and dark side , but between the rules and regulations of the Jedi Order and the freedom and unbounded opening with the Sith . The Jedi train child soldier , and mould them into ego righteous individuals apply their opinion system on the galaxy and Anakin , older by the time of his Jedi training , balked at their political orientation .
Luke go on a broadside to Rey inStar warfare : The Last Jediabout the Jedi Order being dogmatic enforcer blind by their own high quality , ineffectual to see Darth Sidious for what he was , and subsequently being responsible for the rise of the Galactic Empire . Yet inStar Wars : The ascension of Skywalker , he essentially says " I was incorrect " about a deal of his choices and perspectives surrounding the Jedi .
WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH MIDI-CHLORIANS?
Star Wars fan together with shrink when George Lucas inserted the conception of " midi - chlorians " intoStar warfare : Episode I - The Phantom Menace . They’re explained as microscopic life form inside electric cell byQui - Gon Jinn , who instructs a young Anakin Skywalker to quiet his mind and heed to their guidance about the Force .
They ’re obviously never mentioned in the original trilogy , and seem to be a concept Lucas made up for the preuuel trilogy along , but some Star Wars fans were hoping byStar Wars : The ascent of Skywalkerthere would be a way to better explain them , especially give that sometimes Rey seems to be more herculean than Anakin .
CAN ANYONE BE A SKYWALKER?
The Skywalker family is a dynasty of uber powerful Force users , and their play has been the cause of many of the significant events in the Star Wars franchise .
ButStar Wars : The Rise of Skywalkerindicates that perhaps anyone can be a Skywalker . Was the blood therefore never very important ? Shmi Skywalker was a normal soul with no Force power , so perhaps the Skywalkers were never very especial to begin with ?
