As the battle rages around him, Count Dooku closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He senses something powerful. But it isn’t far beyond in space. It is within the Invisible Hand. He turns away from the viewport and onto the security feed, where he sees it. Scores of droids firing down a hallway, more specifically against a purple blur as a figure rushes past them, cutting them down like a hot knife through butter. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/jgLsxW_akgQ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Palpatine grits his teeth as he defends against Mace Windu’s attack. The Jedi Master rushes at him, his purple lightsaber shining in the darkened room and flashing like lightning. Though Palpatine managed to defeat the rest of the Jedi strike team, Mace was more of a challenge. When his counterattack is easily pushed back, he considers the possibility he might be defeated. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/_7Hvz6ANYfg ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Anakin sits alone in Naboo as he watches the final embers that were once Qui-Gon Jin die out. He still can’t believe his master is gone. It seems like just yesterday when he met the Jedi Master, yet he made such a great impact on the boy that he cannot shake him from his memories. Obi-Wan approaches him and places a hand on his shoulder, offering whatever comfort he can, though Anakin remains inconsolable. He wanders off to bed, closing his eyes as he soon drifts off to sleep. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/IASee6yyR1Y ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

The Coruscant skyline stretches endlessly beyond the Temple's meditation chambers. Several days have passed since the rescue of Chancellor Palpatine, since Count Dooku's death aboard the Invisible Hand, but Anakin Skywalker finds no peace in their victory. He sits cross-legged on the cold stone floor, his breathing unsteady, sweat beading on his forehead despite the chamber's cool air. The nightmare had been worse this time. More vivid. More real. Padmé's face, twisted in agony. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/PH_5znY61qI ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Anakin slowly rises to his feet and reaches for his lightsaber. The whole world falls silent in his eyes, everything except the alien shouts from outside. The Tusken Raiders. The monsters are responsible for this. He ignites his lightsaber and prepares to make his way out. Each step has its vision turning red. The training he had learned as a Jedi was forgotten. The lessons of Obi-Wan and the Jedi Order are all tossed aside. The only thing on his mind is rage. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/qOFaj2LXpB8 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Yoda ponders this predicament. Of the Outer Rim Sieges, Kashyyyk remains one of the most ferocious. Holding the planet has become a priority for the Republic He’s about to agree, but his eyes fall upon young Skywalker and he feels a tingle in his neck. It’s as if the Force is trying to get his attention and point him toward the young Jedi. After his brief encounter with Qui-Gon-Jin, he has opened himself up to the Living Force again and can feel its power running through him. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/gsT5r_KRFq4 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Prophet of Truth: Your destruction is the will of the gods and we shall be their instrument. That message plays nonstop as the Home One survey the ruins of the Imperial Fleet. This was just one of many recent encounters across Wild Space since the arrival of the mysterious alien empire. They soon began attacking rebels as well. They weren’t satisfied with just wiping out military targets, the Covenant had also rained destruction down on entire worlds as well, turning them to glass. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/h2D4XL7b-no ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

The Jedi Council chamber sits in heavy silence as holographic reports flicker across the central display. Three years of relentless warfare have transformed the circular room from a place of contemplative wisdom into a military command center. Strategic charts cover ancient meditation alcoves, while communication arrays buzz with constant updates from battlefronts across the galaxy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/XNKWiYVr1lU ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Maul prepares to mount his speeder and prepares to take off to confront the Jedi as his probe droid reports finding them. But as he begins to activate it, the droid begins to jerk in the air before flying straight towards the speeder and shattering against its chassis. Cursing, the Sith warrior turns to the cause of that commotion and finds a hooded figure. He does not appear to be one of the Jedi who had accompanied the Naboo delegation. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/Mjic6xhmqBA ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Anakin listens as Bariss confesses her crimes and frowns. It should be a moment of vindication but all he can feel is disgust at the Jedi Order’s actions. When he can’t look at Bariss any longer, he turns to Obi-Wan whose expression mirrors his. When the Jedi Council apologizes to Ahsoka and offers her position back, she refuses and Anakin can’t blame her. He follows after her and the two make their way down the temple steps together. However, as they prepare to leave a voice calls out to them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/GS7w_cBlGlw ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

The medical equipment hums softly as Anakin lies in his bed. Though the medical droids say he’s stable and expected to pull through, what does that mean? It won’t bring his arm back. His thoughts race back to the duel on Geonosis. Count Dooku’s blade flashed like a streak of lightning. Even though he was almost three times Anakin’s age, Count Dooku moved like a man in his twenties. Anakin fought with all his strength, skill, and every ounce of raw power he could summon, but none was enough. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/rJwaNUBzC7w ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Anakin blinks and feels himself rising with a start as he hears the doors of Watto’s junk shop open and a group of figures step inside. Watto has him working in the storeroom, gathering spare parts for their latest project. Meanwhile, the Toydarian’s raspy voice is arguing with another figure. In response, a familiar voice causes Anakin to stand up and approach the main area. There, he finds Qui-Gon Jin speaking calmly to try to placate Anakin’s angry master. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/EBoKLwr3-Lg ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Dooku relentlessly paces back and forth as he swears under his breath. In a mere week, he had an encounter with a sith lord named Darth Sidious, one who turned out to be none other than the new Chancellor of the Republic. Though the Jedi Master had refused Sidious’s temptation, Dooku’s warnings fell on deaf ears, unfounded accusations from the result of grieving the loss of Qui-Gon. Dooku: Fools, the lot of them. Too blind to see what is right under their nose. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/t1jZ9LnPG4M ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

The Father: If you will not stay to take my place, you must see what you become. Anakin: See what I become? What are you talking about? Before Anakin can demand answers, the Father raises his hand. Reality fractures around them. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka cry out as brilliant light consumes everything. The three Jedi feel themselves pulled through something beyond hyperspace, beyond the Force itself. Time and space twist around them like a whirlpool. Then impact. Soft ground. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/sjVQDSMbZ3E ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
