Obi-Wan Lied to Maul?


Hey Reader!

Vance here, and I’ve been rewatching some of the most iconic Star Wars moments. Remember when Obi-Wan told Maul that Luke was the Chosen One? Kind of strange, right, considering Anakin’s whole "Chosen One" thing? 🤯

Let’s break down what Obi-Wan really meant when he gave Maul that final answer.

Why Did Obi-Wan Say Yes To Maul When He Asked If Luke Was The Chosen One If Obi-Wan Knew That Anakin Was The Chosen One?

Get into the real reasons why Obi-Wan gave Maul this answer. 💔👇

Why wasn’t Obi-Wan seduced by the dark side during this moment of intense anger and hatred?

"I just watched Obi-Wan Kenobi today, and it brought me joy I haven’t felt for years...👇

I’m 38 years old and have not enjoyed much of anything since the prequels were made, but this has rekindled my love for Star Wars again.
Seeing Obi-Wan again and watching him go from a tired and weak former Jedi, to being back to somewhat his old self was such a wonderful experience.
Young Leia was amazing, and the last fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan made me so excited I leapt for joy. I haven’t felt so happy and excited about Star Wars in so many years. I was crying by the end of it with happy tears. I’m just so grateful this exists.
I’m sorry if I sound silly, I just had to say this after just finishing it. I’m just so happy."

The text in the image reads:

"Star Wars (1977) originally had Red and Blue Squadron attacking the Death Star, but blue conflicted with the blue screens, so it was changed to gold. In Rogue One (2016), Red, Gold and Blue squadron attack Scarif, where Blue Squadron is destroyed, leaving them unavailable for the events in Star Wars"


Why Count Dooku Doesn’t Look Ugly Like Other Sith?

Darth Vader is more machine than man, Palpatine’s face looks like it melted in a microwave, and even Darth Maul’s appearance is intense with those red and black tattoos...

How Darth Vader BEGGED Obi-Wan Kenobi For Forgiveness

"No, I am your father." — Darth Vader "That's impossible!" — Luke Skywalker (The Empire Strikes Back) Did You Know? In The Last Jedi, Luke still bears the blaster shot he received to his robotic hand in Return of the Jedi. 😱 Hey Reader, it’s Vance here! 👋 When I rewatched Episode V not too long ago, I paused right at that moment, Leia placing something over Luke’s arm. My brain went, “Wait, what is that thing?” I’d seen this movie a dozen times before, but I never stopped to think about that...

“It’s a trap.” - Admiral Ackbar, Return of the Jedi Did You Know? Morgan Elsbeth Is A Real Life Badass Diana Lee Inosanto isn’t just playing a villain—she’s the real deal! Raised around and trained by her godfather, Bruce Lee, and Brandon Lee, she brings authentic martial arts mastery to Morgan Elsbeth. Easily one of my favorite Star Wars villains since Darth Maul (another legendary villain portrayed by a stunt performer). Even more incredible: She does ALL her own stunts at nearly 60....

"I won't lose you the way I lost my mother." — Anakin Skywalker, Revenge of the Sith Did You Know? Darth Vectivus was possibly the nicest Sith Lord in Star Wars history. A former businessman turned Sith out of simple curiosity, Vectivus maintained strong personal ethics, never succumbed to Sith violence, and viewed the Dark Side as a research tool. He even died quietly at home with friends and family around him. (source) Darth Vectivus Good morning Reader 👋 I always thought Anakin turned Sith...
