Did You Ever Hear The Tragedy Of The Skywalker Family?I Thought Not. It's Not A Story DLF Would Tell

Did you ever hear the tragedy of the Skywalker family? I thought not. It's not a story DLF would tell you.

This is the tale of how Sheev Palpatine (better known for his Sith name Darth Sidious) successfully wiped out the Skywalker bloodline and end up winning a 40 year old saga.

At the beginning of our story, Palpatine took an immediate interest on Anakin Skywalker ever since he was a boy, because he was produced by the Force itself and was said to be the “chosen one” who would bring balance to the Force. As confirmed by “Attack of the Clones”, the two grew very close and Palpatine offered him guidance and council. Anakin goes as far as saying to both Obi-Wan and Padmé that the senator is wise and to be trusted.

Palpatine was behind the attempt on Padmé Amidala’s life in “Attack of the Clones”: he hired Jango Jett and commissioned the clone army from Kamino. Jango Fett was a top bounty hunter, he would have succeeded in killing Padmé, however he hired another to do the job, meaning Palpatine didn’t actually want her dead.

He then insisted Padmé needed to be protected at all costs and stay away from Coruscant: he’s the one who suggests Obi-Wan Kenobi to be responsible for her protection because he’s an old friend (and mostly because Anakin is his Padawan, and he was aware of his feelings for Padmé);

Anakin and Padmé go into hiding on Naboo and they fall in love, like Palpatine intended: “everything is proceeding as I’ve foreseen”

Then Palpatine places the nightmares inside Anakin’s mind about his mother dying. Later on, he’ll do the same about Padmé. Anakin believes these nightmares entirely because they have proven right about his mother. 

Anakin falls to the Dark side and becomes Darth Vader because Palpatine manipulates him with false promises of learning how to save Padmé from death

Anakin is not the one who kills Padmé, since she’s still alive to give birth to the twins. However, it’s said Padmé is completely healthy but has “lost her will to live”. It’s like her Force life is being suck out of her. Hmm, I wonder who is known for doing this… Exactly: Palpatine. 

With Padmé gone for good, Darth Vader would be by Sidious’ side always, especially since he believes himself responsible for her death.

Then in the OT Palpatine wants the Skywalker bloodline wiped out: he wants Vader to kill his own son and Luke Skywalker to kills his father. When all of this fails, he wants to kill Luke himself.

Vader end ups betraying Palpatine, preventing him from killing his son and dying in the process. Luke forgives his father and wants Anakin to come with him. However it’s too late because Sidious’ Force lighting damaged Vader’s suit (the only thing that was keeping him alive after Mustafar) and he dies.

Luke carries on the Jedi tradition. But Palpatine isn’t gone. He keeps an eye on Leia’s unborn child with Han Solo: Ben. And apparently he gets to have a granddaughter of his own too: Rey. He sends for an assassin named Ochi to kill her parents and get her but then drops it because reasons.

Anyway, Palpatine pretends to be a man called Snoke and Darth Vader to communicate with Ben, and alienate him from his family because there is no way the Skywalkers can have a moment of happiness on their entire existence. Ben is Force sensitive and strong in the Force, so Leia sends him to Luke’s Jedi academy even tho she has been trained as a Jedi herself apparently. 

As confirmed by “The Rise of Kylo Ren” comics, one night Palpatine gets into Luke’s mind and shows him visions of Ben’s future as Kylo Ren. While manipulated by Palpatine, Luke thinks about killing his nephew but immediately regrets it. However, Ben wakes up and see his uncle’s lightsaber over him and destroys the hut to protect himself.

Ben is confused and asks himself why Luke would ever do such a thing. Palpatine creates a fire on the temple, killing all the Jedi who lived there. Ben tries to save his colleagues but can’t. Inside his mind, he hears he doesn’t get to choose.

Meanwhile, three Jedi arrive and confront Ben. He tells them Luke tried to kill him but they don’t believe him and engage on a lightsaber fight to avenge their “murdered” master. Ben defeats them and leaves. Believing he can’t go back home to his mother Leia, Ben goes to the only person he believes to be his friend on the entire galaxy: Snoke/Palpatine:

Alienated from his family and believing he has nowhere else to go, Ben Solo becomes Kylo Ren: a server to the Dark side of the Force. He’s brutally trained, brainwashed and abused while Snoke/Palpatine keeps him on a leech. He also becomes the master of the Knights of Ren and a soldier of the First Order, an organization who rose from the ashes of the old Empire.

A few years later, Kylo Ren meets Rey (Palpatine’s granddaughter) and they have an immediate connection. Kylo kills his own father at Snoke/Palpatine order to prove himself strong in the Dark side of the Force. However, this breaks him instead of making him stronger. Snoke/Palpatine is disappointed. Rey Palpatine and Kylo Ren share a Force Bond and become closer: Rey beings to emphasize with him and believes there is Light in him still.

However, Luke and Leia don’t believe this anymore because their entire trust is in Rey, who they know for a fact is a Palpatine but that doesn’t define her character while being Vader’s symbolic heir surely defines their own flesh and blood.  Anyway, Rey goes to Kylo Ren because she believes Ben Solo can return. Things don’t well and Snoke/Palpatine wants her granddaughter killed so Kylo proves himself strong in the Dark side. Kylo kills Snoke instead and wants Rey to join him, she refuses and leaves him.

It’s time for Palpatine to reveal himself and Rey as her granddaughter. Kylo finds him on Exogol and he reveals this. Kylo tells Rey the truth about her heritage. She refuses to accept it. Meanwhile, Leia decides to sacrifice herself to make Ben return to the Light. She dies without ever reuniting with her son. The most important reaction to her death comes from Rey Palpatine also, who Force heals Ben after stabbing him with his own lightsaber. Rey confesses she wanted to be with Ben all along.

Meanwhile, Rey Palpatine goes to confront her grandfather alone. Ben returns to the Light and goes to her rescue. He gets thrown into the pit during the final showdown against the Sith lord who destroyed his family and entire life. After having his vengeance taken away from him, the last Skywalker gets out of the pit to find Rey Palpatine dead. He loves her so much, he end ups giving up his own life to resurrect her. Completing what her grandfather started and wanted all along: the Skywalker bloodline is officially over because of Palpatine’s heir. In the end of it all, Palpatine’s heir usurps the Skywalker name for herself and gets to see Luke and Leia’s Force Ghosts smiling at her. She also gets to have the two Skywalker lightsabers to build her own. The end.

Recap of the Skywalkers end:

Padmé Amidala: most likely killed by Palpatine.

Anakin Skywalker: killed by Palpatine

Luke Skywalker: killed himself to save Palpatine’s heir

Leia Skywalker: killed herself so her son can save Palpatine’s heir

Ben Solo: killed himself to save Palpatine’s heir

Bonus - Han Solo: killed by his son at Palpatine’s order

Amen.

One.

I edited the last reylo scene of TROS in accordance to what a lot of people are theorizing is the original sequence of events (Ben revives Rey, he dies, Leia uses her life force to bring him back [this could explain why Maz is smiling], Rey’s shocked/relieved, then they kiss). I also added in ‘Across the Stars’ by John Williams.

Ben Solo marketing

They released the comics right before the premiere which made it clear that Ben Solo did not destroyed the Jedi Temple and did not kill any jedi student. He just wanted to get home. And that certain night when Luke tried to hurt his nephew, Luke Skywalker was indeed under the influence of Palpatine. All these canon materials were released to tell the audience this young man was abused every sense of the word in a brutal way..ever since he was born.

All of these meant to prepare the audience for the “ Redemption  ” and Ben Solo’s happy life…

Before JJ Abrams and his crew changed and destroyed everything. 😡JJ Abrams and Chris T. changed, rewrote and undone everything has been set up by TFA//TLJ//other canin materials.

i have never seen a more accurate representation of social anxiety i could see his entire life flash before his eyes from the moment he was born til this burning moment of panicked regret

WE WERE ROBBED AND I'VE GOT PROOFS: BEN SOLO'S DEATH SCENE WAS REVERSED

I just hope everyone in this fandom will see this post: it's really really important. I worked a little bit on the gif (made by myself) of the Ben Solo's death scene and I found out they really robbed us.

I've seen other posts in which people said the scene looked unnatural or that it was reversed so I did my best to find out if this was true or not. Well, this is what I found out.

1) I made a gif of the scene. Just to be sure everything was crystal clear I adjusted the exposure. This is the original gif.

2) I slowed down the gif. In this way is easier to analyze the movements made by both Ben and Rey.

3) I was not convinced by the scene, so I reversed the original gif.

as you can see there are some problems in this clip: the movement of Rey's arm is strange (it looks like she's pushing him down; I noticed this the first time I saw the movie and it really looked strange to me) but also Ben's hair moves in a not natural way. In my opinion, Ben's hair are the key in this scene so keep an eye on them.

4) Just to be sure, I slowed down the reversed version.

I don't know guys: it looks clear to me. They reversed the original scene: Rey was pulling him up. The movements of Rey's arm and foot and Ben's hair are now more natural. Also, you have a sharp eye, you can see the exact moment in which they cut the original clip to make the reverse start. I noticed it immediately because I like to do video edits sometimes and this thing happens a lot of times: if you don't cut the clip in the right way you can tell it.

They reversed the scene. Ben was not meant to die. Rey had to pull him up and then they would kiss. I repeat: Ben was not meant to die

I made a tread on Twitter and I tagged Star Wars and Disney so if you want to show a little bit of support go and chack it ;) Let's make them fix this mess of a movie
