- Star Wars fans, I wanted to dive DEEP on the evidence that suggests Anakin Skywalker is now a Force God aka The Father! There's a lot of evidence in the Ahsoka show that proves this, so in this video, we'll break it all down! I also think this ties into Abeloth being what calls to Baylan, and I've got many more videos to make about this!

Josh I just wanna speak for ALOT of us when we say we appreciate you and the work you put into each video 🙏🏽
Fr fr
100%
Is it me or is Josh putting in more effort with his theories than Theory himself (Star Wars Theory the person I mean AKA Nia)
I want to speak for all of us chronic diarrhea nerds. We don’t appreciate laughing without a proper warning. Thanks,
Agreed
Loving the mortis theories my man! It is strange, he gives her a look at the end like “I’m proud of you, but I’ve got some more shit to tell you/show you” lol, perhaps. I would love for Dave to hop on some interviews soon and give us any info/hints that he’s willing to give on that whole situation, and this series as a whole
A thing that’s been on my mind since a few days: Darth VADER…in some languages (for example Dutch), Vader means literally Father.
Yep all the way back in the early 80s people were drawing attention to the fact that several languages translated Darth Vader to Dark Father.
One of the best things Disney has done is bring back Anakin.
That’s a fact.
Lol this comment is not the win many people think it is… but I do agree. The best thing Disney Star Wars has done has been to create such bad content, that everyone agrees the best thing they’ve done is bring back Anakin in a bastardized version of Star Wars. 👍
@@Alexander-lc7dx all this Clone Wars lore he’s based on is not a bastardization imo.
You are right to be wary and be critical though, we shall see.
lmao
Great work Josh... even though I'm sad about the end of Nerd Theory, Im glad to see you're still going to be around crushing Star Wars content... thanks for the content as always...
Spot on Josh 👏🏾 the Anakin half and half imagery is amazing!
I have a feeling there were a number of things that were cut from the series because Dave wanted to leave some ambiguity for certain scenes. Assuming he is going to do a second season of Ahsoka, he probably wanted to leave some important elements to be revealed then. The connection to the Mortis gods does seem like something he will pursue, especially since Baylan refered to what he seeks as "the beginning", meaning things that predate the Jedi and the Sith. Great video, Josh, really enjoyed this one!
Isn’t kind of funny how we have the character that’s synonymous with the line “I am your father”. Actually turn into a god with the title The Father. 😂😂😂 Full circle baby, and I’m here for it!!!
If they actually run with this, they will be huge. This is something i didn't know i wanted, but damnit, i want it!
Let me know what YOU think about this!!
Josh you a massive W in the marvel/Star Wars fandom. Love your theories, opinions and breakdowns. Keep up the bangers that you because we will always watch it.
It will not happen like you want it. The fact that this theory sounds good verifies it won't happen. "The force is female". Don't forget that. And it will be trash and Anakin will be castrated.
Is nerd theory done for
@@whammo9111 yes. The dudes using shadows to justify this garbage. Hallmark of the bargaining phase of grief.
@@nikadgod5152 whattt what happened???
It's an intriguing concept to reimagine Anakin as the Father, Ahsoka as the Daughter, and Baylon as the Son, but given the actor's passing....they could rewrite it so Baylon could be taken over by...DARTH MAUL. This creative twist could bring a new dimension to the Star Wars universe and storytelling possibilities. May the Force be with this idea!
Jesus christ for fks sake can we just leave maul dead? This is ridiculous how you, theory and so many others keep wanting to ressurect prequel characters for NO reason other than an unearned cameos
@@thechuube8442 Unearned cameos! LOVE IT! Bring back YARAEL POOF and COLEMAN TREBOR!!!
@@thechuube8442tbh George originally planned for Maul to be the big bad with Darth Talon in the sequel trilogy(when he sold the rights to Disney and they had to kill him off in Rebels)
@chameleon192 yeah. Which couldve been cool. But then dave decided to kill him in rebels and the disney sequel trilogy happened. If it had happened in 2014 especially after his appearance in clone wars, then great, I'd be all for it. But now, after disney continues to just keep retconning things, bringing characters back, ruining legacy characters etc. It would just be dumb.
They just need to stop. Theyve ruined it too much, star wars is 8 feet deep in the ground. Nobody watched Ahsoka and half of the people who did thought it was ass. They need to Take a hiatus then come back strong with an old republic trilogy or something
Anna Mellos makes a good point. Anakin is a deadbeat father. Why doesn't he check on his kids instead of Ahsoka as a Force ghost? If he's The Father, he's a deadbeat one. 😂
When Ahsoka and the Jedi droid were in the whale on their way to Peridia, he had time to tell her a story…. We all heard it begin with “a long time ago in a galaxy far far away…” Does any one think that the droid was prepping Ahsoka with a whole lot of knowledge or Jedi lore? She knows a whole bunch about what she’s heading in to which could also explain her calm
Josh, your videos have reached a whole new level. Keep it up!!
Theory: the Mortis statues are safeguarding whatever entity (Abeloth or a Filoniverse-equivalent secondary Big Bad) they banished to the mountain/volcano we see Baylan staring at in the Ahsoka season finale. That’s why the Father statue is pointing to that peak, similar to a parent/authority figure telling their kid to go to their room after they’ve done something bad. The Son is standing as if he were his father’s guard, sword in hand. He has his sword out but not at the ready, which could point towards the idea that it is Abeloth (the Son loved her, but realizes the danger she could bring about is greater than his feelings towards her - he’d be willing to kill her before he let her escape from her banishment). I’m sure the Daughter statue was in a similar “guard” stance, but with her statue destroyed, it could point towards a break in the security net placed by the Mortis gods. Ahsoka’s and Baylan’s being there on Peridea, if either of them tamper with the entity that is banished there in some way - even if my mistake - could release it from its captivity. We could see Baylan releasing this power next season and Ahsoka having to take on he responsibility of fixing this, with the guidance of Anakin, before it escapes to the known galaxy.
I think your observations are astute and spot on. Great job.
THANK YOU FOR IT ALL. So glad I found you from Theory. You’re so funny, genuine, and truly entertaining. Be the best father you can be, and the best writer you can be! Good luck!
I just gotta say thank you for using relevant footage. A lot of content creators will just use random background footage that has nothing to do with what's being said.
I still think it is not accidental that the Father says that he is neither Jedi nor Sith, but something more than that, and that Baylan echoed this sentiment when he told Shin that she was being traines to be more than a Jedi.
I think this s exactly what's going on, but more so like a higher dimensional game of chess that involves subtle manipulations from the world between worlds.
I think it's possible this new potential threat will surpass the sequel trilogy, that Palpatine returning was just a move on her book to prolong the darkness and grow in power. Whereas as the Father, Anakin uses his abilities to counter act Abeloth's influence.
But it would be too late. I think there is a greater consequence for Anakin not fulfilling his destiny then and there on Mortis. The Father's been around for how long? Assuming his absence leads to Abeloth to grow in power, then she could have been in play since the end of the Clone Wars. For the first time in galactic history, for 25 years there was no one doing what The Father did.
Anakins's face looked super wierd and I think you've nailed it. Great insight. Perfect explanation.
Damn dude. You went deep in the theory with the shadows and lighting . Love it
I felt it was a waste to kill her off Elsbeth. Who will fight against Jedis if she's not there? Thrawn and The Great Mothers don't fight with a lightsaber. Morgan was the best warrior of that group.
Ahsoka trended up with Ep 4-6. Then limped to the finish line with Ep 7 and 8 like Game of Thrones did in its final two seasons or episodes. With The Critical Drinker's video, I'm not as harsh towards Ahsoka but I agree about 80% of what he said especially his comments about Dave Filoni and Thrawn being more of an idiot than a threat.
Go back to Ep 8. Sabine crashes the ship. That delayed the group even more. But for convenience, they still catch up to Thrawn! 😂 They give Sabine her Force powers at the most appropriate time. Thrawn giving every chance to Ahsoka to catch up while he is on this giant star destroyer that completely misses everytime they aimed at Ahsoka & Co.
Thrawn should not feel any sense of accomplishment. Morgan, Baylan, and Shin helped them escape. Morgan died for him after her promotion while Baylan and Shin rescued Morgan. Lars is perfect as Thrawn but how he behaves is completely moronic. Blame the awful writing. Thrawn is shown being a genius at killing his own men who can't stop 3 people from entering a gate they should've destroyed in the first place and then pretending he accomplished something genius.
What a waste to lose Diana Lee Inosanto, goddaughter to Bruce Lee, while Rosario looks amateurish with a lightsaber. Diana is like 13 years older than Rosario and she still moved quicker and more fluid. I can understand Rosario learning this in her 40s. Hayden got to learn this in his early 20s. Diana since she was a child. But it's just not believable for Ahsoka to wins these fights from Rosario's slow moves.
I love Baylan Skoll. Why couldn't we get more of this guy? The only interesting character in all this. And if not him because maybe Filoni will save footage of him for next season, why not explain to us more about Shin Hati? What's her deal? I'm still completely confused on why Baylan left Shin? He took her with him only to separate with her? Why not just leave her back home? It's dumb writing that can turn interesting characters into morons.
I can understand Baylan asking Shin to have Sabine and Ezra killed. Remember, Baylan was making a deal with Sabine. If he got the map, he was willing to protect her until she found Ezra. So he did keep his word to Sabine until the moment he had to comply to what Thrawn demanded. But ditching Shin still had me confused. What if Shin isn't really like that? What if Baylan is prejudging her? He's saying she might be that way.
Now Baylan could also be protecting her from this entity that's calling him. I believe it would've been better had they stuck together. But since Ray passed away, it might be easier to show his final moments than if Shin was next to him. The moment Baylan and Shin got more interesting by Ep 6, they stopped showing them after it. What a tease! A whole lotta nothingburger! Ahsoka should've stayed a cartoon.
As one great comment told Thor Skywalker who compared Ahsoka to Andor, Ahsoka was a carrot on a stick but without a carrot. They would behave stupidly in between Point A to Point B just to get to the next point. They'll do stupid things to do something mildly interesting but without any tension because we all know Ahsoka and Sabine will overcome all obstacles including facing death and Sabine finding Ezra within 10 minutes and walking distance.
Not everything was bad. The positives are Baylan, Shin, Thrawn, and Ezra are standouts with their performances. Visually, while it does use Volume, it still looks quite stunning. Better than the Prequels that came out 20+ years ago. Music by Kiner was very good. And we did get live action Rebels with all the fan service Easter eggs and member berries.
Up to Ep 6, it really was trending up for me. Ep 1-3 were slow and weak. Ep 4-6 is peak Ahsoka. Then a step back with the penultimate episode which set up nothing. Then Ep 8 which I personally hate the most. The moment I saw Sabine crash that ship, I'm like WTF? This is not going to go well. Then things got so predictable with plenty of convenience moments.
Zero tension when facing those zombie troopers. Zero tension at all for the entire episode. I remember I kept looking at the time on my phone to see how much more we had left? Once I saw close to 30 minutes had passed, I knew we weren't going to see Baylan and Shin except for 30 seconds which exactly happened. Ep 8 went completely a different direction to how I saw it. And it's a direction I didn't care for with the silly, cartoonish writing.
The few issues I had with it negated it too much that it made me overlook the positives it had. I think Top Gun: Maverick and Cobra Kai have some bad writing in them too. A lot over-the-top crap. Same with Stranger Things. But they don't have consistently moronic moments. Ahsoka is now a 7.5 for me overall. Better than Kenobi and Fett which still isn't saying much. But inferior to these four MCU/SW series on Disney+...
"Great"
Loki: 9/10
Andor: 9/10
The Mandalorian: 9/10
"Good"
WandaVision: 8/10
Sad to see NT coming to an end.
Dave: “Asoka is just the bestest, she was trained by Anakin and is a Mortis God”
George: 😐
I hope so Josh. I'm just trying to guard myself from wild exceptions since we have to wait so long to see how this actually turns out. I know this seems like a strong case... but history tells us it can still be wrong and they can go a different direction etc.
"Proves it" is a big stretch from a smirk and studio lighting. Is it possible? Yes. Is it proven? No.
I really love where they are going with all of this
I just wanna say, when we are analyzing the sides of a face that are shadowed and lit, maybe we are in the realm of over-analysing.
Baylon undergoes a dramatic transformation into Darth Maul! Cosmic Force Style! This transformation occurs through a mysterious and powerful force or technology, altering Baylon's appearance and granting him the distinctive red and black facial tattoos, as well as Darth Maul's signature double-bladed lightsaber.
As Baylon adapts to his new identity as Darth Maul, he must navigate the challenges of the dark side of the Force and confront his own inner turmoil. This transformation sets the stage for an imaginative and non-canonical adventure in the Star Wars universe, where Baylon's character is reshaped into the formidable and enigmatic Sith Lord, Darth Maul.
Great vid as always Josh. This show was great. Lots to cover and discuss
really enjoyed the show. but can you explain why Thrawn interlocked with the Eye of Scion at the tower instead of like far away from the tower? Ezra would have not been able to get on Thrawns ship. And Morgan Elsbeth would not have had to die. That's like my only real issue with the show.
I wonder if after 10 years on Perida did Ezra find those statues of the Morris gods? It seems weird that that never came up or it would be weird if he did not find them🤔 I totally agree that Anakin is the father, I have thought that from the beginning of Ahsoka... I figured he would be the father Ahsoka would be the daughter
and Baylon the son....?
Also thought it was symbolism when Sabine looked over and couldnt see Anakin like Ahsoka could, but light shining down from the heavens, symbolizing god (Anakin as the father)
Love your theory!!!
Josh, you should do a video for us Star Wars nerds about “Shin.” Everyone assumes she is the new Mara Jade. That is madness, she is Vestara Kai from “Omen” when Abeloth was first introduced in legends. 😉
Yes. Yes. And yes. You're killing it.
Anakin is the Father. Believed as much while watching episode 5 of Ahsoka. ... Also, the Father himself said to Anakin that becoming the Father was the destiny of The Chosen One
I did not think about Abeloth at all until hearing about it on RUclipsville. Not something I'm super familiar with at all. But, the more I learn the more I think it's possible. ... My only hesitation is just how crazy of a character she is & if they'll go that direction in a mainstream fashion.
With Anakin as the Father it's not something that absolutely has to be understood to get the show, yet is still clear enough to more invested fans.
They could even confirm as much with an episode of Tales Of The Jedi or something.
You know?? ... I do hope it's Abeloth, just not totally convinced they'll do it on the live action content. ... It can't be done in the same way Anakin being the Father was done.
Also, if they do it I believe it's going to take a long, long time because it'll have to be set-up properly for the masses. ... They're not going to expect people to simply know lore that deep
Great video all on point
I love how Deep they try to dig to give meaning to what we just saw... Dave doesnt even know what he just wrote. like a dog chasing his tail
I hate that you are correct about this 😤
She had a near death experience in the ocean. Her essence went to the world between worlds where she confronted her final lesson: getting over Anakins fall to the dark side and moving on vs holding onto that pain and dying either physically or in her potential or both.
Her deciding to fight Anakin who was trying to kill her and live is how Jacen senses her physical location in the ocean thru the force.
Then she upgraded to Ahsoka the white and decides to take Sabine under her wing again for training even though originally she was terrified of doing so because Sabines anger about the siege of Mandalor combined with training in the force might lead to another Anakin type disaster. It’s great. If people missed the subtext and story telling here, that’s on them and nothing to do with the quality of the show.
@@iamsupernaut lmfao. Except he can't even keep HIS OWN characters consistent. But ooook
@George-um2vc dude me too! This is the ONE SHOW aside from like an Old republic kinda thing I actually ever really wanted to be made, and I am beyond disappointed, nobody had higher hopes than myself and I just feel let down and confused by what just happened.
@@mrbeans2425 me too, Mando was my only hope and they destroyed that with TBOBF and Mando 3, so Ahsoka was my last hope, but they destroyed it with non sensical writing, such a bummer, back to the EU we go.
Anna made a great point on how does Ezra escape from Thrawn's Chimaera so easily? Such lax security. Thrawn is only as smart as the writers who write him.
Love these man!! Totally agree
"Anakin Skywalker...YOU ARE THE FATHER" Maury Povich probably lol
If you look at the statue of the Son, his face looks so much like Sam Witwer. Seeing as he voiced the Son in the Clone Wars, I can't help but see the next stage. The norse imagery with Baylan Skoll, Skoll being the wolf that consumes the sun, is staring me in the face. I think what Baylan will find is the life/force essence of the Son. Baylan will play host to the power either by willingly hosting it or managing to absorb it somehow. He will then go on to try and tear his way into the WBW to end the cycle of rise and fall. The Son has already shown off some of the powers that Abeloth was infamous for, they could mix up the story with Baylan and the Son.
Kid you are the best theory guy love it!!
this was the exact same theory i had in my head haha thank you
Dude, what if the balance that the prophecy of the chosen one talks about wasn't referring to ending with the sith lords but it was referring to a much larger scale and they go this route, making Anakin become the father to muster the daughter and the son in order to prevent Abeloth's return and keep the balance. That would be sick, since its a much wider scope of the force itself and retcons the sequels
Very good theory, I think you are correct.
WBW Anakin controls forcespacetime. He prolly created himself. I’m curious how Anakin/Mortis Gods compare to the Whills
Just love the feedback loop, Filoni can throw up in the corner and RUclipsrs will interpret the deepest philosophical stuff into it.
Is NerdTheory done? My Mondays are ruined.😞
I think you have hit the nail on the head here
Abeloth wasn't in The Clone Wars, Rebels or hinted at, at all in Ahsoka. They're not going there and they really don't need to.
I mean the father bluntly told Anakin he wanted him to replace him...
Spot on!
If true, cowboy hats off to Filoni for redeeming the prophecy of the chosen one following the sequel debacle.
Yo this was a dope-ass video, good sir!
Coolest Star Wars stuff in years. So interesting
Josh we love you and will miss you bro
Making Ashoka and Annakin Mortis gods would explain why they weren't around for Palpatine's return.
I like the idea that after all these K years the force users are becoming more balanced . You can eat meat but cauliflower cheese is also dope yo
The Father said Anakin was the Chosen One that he was the one who was going to replace him.
Wow great theory!
Makes 💯 sense
bananakin nooooo you were mean to bring potassium to the force
Totally agree that Anakin is now in the Fathers Role of keeping the Balance. Ahsoka would be the daughter - she did give her life to save Ahsoka on Mortis so it just makes sense but who
Will take the mantle of the Son and the dark side??
I don’t think Abeloth will come
About just yet. I’ve read all the fate of the Jedi books and once she escaped her prison in the Maw and started sending Jedi crazy she just created chaos everywhere and had the Lost Tribe of the Sith so hungry for power that they did her bidding. Luke’s nowhere near powerful enough to even attempt
To take her on plus there aren’t enough force users yet for her to corrupt or to
Ally herself with.
I think she may be introduced but not for a long time.
It will be good to see who will take the role of the son though - could it be Baylan - I don’t think he is that dark I think he is powerful but stepped away from the Jedi as a necessity after seeing how flawed they had become and arrogant that they were all
Powerful. The Mortis Monolith in the Fate of the Jedi books and the 2 Columi brothers Marvid & Craitheus and the experiments they carry out on there are off key and sinister and would be interesting to see that used and brought
Into current canon.
But people are saying ashoka is now the daughter, that's why the daughter's statue is no more... But the father statue it's OK , so to me, with the same logic, no one has taken the mantle of the father, not even anakin
Bro I’m a. Fan of your however you starting to turn into MikeZero with your Theroy s
Anakin is gonna have a huge roll in Daves movie
Last part is a bit of stretch. I think that’s quite literally just lighting
I’m all for it but it still stings that this all leads to and ends with Rey Skywalker and the sequels 😢
*The* *Best* *Live* *Action* *Star* *Wars?*
I still contemplate if I like Andor more than The Empire Strikes Back? TESB is my favorite SW movie ever but is it my favorite SW project? I feel Andor S1 was written with more maturity but it's also the least like feeling SW. And Andor does move slower and have less memorable characters. But the story is sublime.
Revenge of the Sith was my favorite SW movie for years but the Prequels lacked most of my fav characters. I really don't care about Hayden's Whinykan Skywalker that George Lucas asked him to be. Cool lightsaber duels but that's just being shallow. I've watched Jackie Chan and Jet Li films prior to the Prequels. They can swing a bo staff better than Ray Park, so I wasn't completely wowed by scenes in TPM and ROTS growing up on HK cinema.
Perhaps as time goes by, Empire will return as my No. 1. It's actually the first SW movie I ever saw. My dad brought home the SW VHS copies of TESB and ROTJ he got from a pawn shop in early 1997. These were not the SEs. I remember holding them off for a bit. Didn't have the urge to watch them. Was completely clueless what was going on in Hoth. Looked boring to me. Star Wars just never interested me prior to 1997.
Gave Empire maybe a 3rd chance and once the film got to Dagobah, it completely blew me away. Yoda is highly responsible for my love for SW when he explained about this mythical Force. I was captivated by everything he said. So I watched TESB and ROTJ first and those were two that turned me into a SW fanatic. Then my dad finally got ANH a few weeks after I saw TESB and ROTJ and I thoroughly enjoyed it as well.
Initially, TESB was my least fav of the OT or "The Trilogy" as we used to call it before the Prequels. I didn't like how the good guys lost. My fav was ROTJ and then ANH. Then as time passed, it was ROTJ and TESB with ANH last. Then it became TESB, ANH, and then ROTJ thanks to a movie called Clerks (1994) whining about Ewoks that I finally saw in the late 90s to early 00s.
I can understand people like my stepdad who was 19 in 1977 thinking ANH is the best. Same with Erik Voss and JJ Abrams. It was such a revolutionary movie. Think original iPhone in 2007. Blew people away. Empire is like the iPhone 4 coming out 3 years later. It's the better movie but it's living off the back of the first one. Without the first one being so successful, the other ones may not exist. The first SW can stand on it's own without you ever needing to watch the sequels. It ends happily like the first Back to the Future.
As of now, ROTS now occupies my 3rd spot above ROTJ but below TESB and ANH among SW movies. Maybe on some days, I'll have ROTS above ANH. I was always deliberating between TESB vs. ROTS on which one I prefer more? I asked my cousins this around Christmas 2005 and they both told me Empire. They're born in 1983 and 1986. As people like Nia (SW Theory) says, TESB is the better overall movie while ROTS is the better "Star Wars" movie.
Issue with the OG Trilogy is it felt smaller in scope due to the limitations of technology at the time. George never got to create the different places he wanted to see. We didn't really visit many planets. We finally saw Kashyyyk in ROTS and Alderaan in Kenobi in live action. But the OG Trilogy contained most of SW fans' fav characters only held beck being limited in scope thanks to primitive tech at the time. And we get one lightsaber duel per movie and weren't as good as 20 years later.
Several moments from the OT do remain iconic. Prequels only had one good movie and some people are still questioning if it's really that good. Some people on Reddit who might be older can't stand the Prequels. Will say Prequels had wooden acting, an uninteresting political story, terrible romantic dialogue, and a bunch of actors in front of green/blue screens. Some say they even prefer the Sequels which at least balances out the look with practical effects and CGI.
I believe they're both pretty bad. Sequels being worse doesn't make the Prequels actually good. You need The Clone Wars to enhance your feelings towards the Prequels. PT remains peak for lightsaber duels. Whatever hate being said about the Sequels today were being said about the Prequels 20 years ago. Except it's the Prequels fans' turn to bash the more recent SW trilogy. Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy has them all beat. You can watch LotR in 30 years and they would still look timeless and beautiful.
I guess you could say TESB remains the best SW while Andor is my favorite SW. Then ANH and ROTS remain the more *fun* SW. But perhaps in a couple years and say Andor S2 disappoints, Empire goes back being my No. 1 favorite. Empire was released the same year I was born, so that's why I speak so highly of it. I used to rewatch the OT SES while stoned back in 1999 and Empire was the least flawed. Vader kicking Luke's ass and Yoda were the biggest highlights from it.
ANH: 9/10

Morai was also with her in MANDO S2!.
I agree with pretty much everything except Anakin's smile 😂
This may be a HUGE reach, but what if Dathomiri & the Witches are just descendants of Abeloth.. or maybe just physical manifestations of her. the pale skin, the full black eyes, etc. idk. Maybe I’m just grasping at straws here.. would be a cool concept.
In Josh we Trust
My big question is who is the Son or is he still around? He didn't get stabbed with the dagger just a light saber
Anakin: The Father - Balance
Ashoka: The Daughter - Light Side
......: The Son - Dark Side
Who is the Dark side representation?
The son is still alive, masquerading as Anakin - he orchestrated everything, for these foolish mortals to release Abeloth.
@@silversurfer8818 ...no. Doesn't make sense, and The Son has never shown the level of planning.
Is that why Baylan says to Ashoka “ You can not defeat me”
No she just wasn't good enough to beat him.
Disney Star Wars is flawed but I thank the Lord that they always seem to get Anakin/Vader just right
Not in Kenobi show
It seems to me that you are giving filoni way too much credit. I don't think they put that much thought into it
Hell nah, after so long you begin to recognize and know how someone writes. This is like the tip of the iceberg for what Dave can do and come up with… He worked on CLONE WARS! For christ sake
@@iamsupernaut Yet came up with the terrible (apart from Baylan & Shin) Ahsoka series.
Anakin becoming the Father would be fitting since he's the chosen one born of the force without a Father...
🔥
total reach with the smiling thing dude. i do believe anekin is a the father but comparing force ghost smile to the stone carving of the father is quite crazy lol
It's called basic lighting bro.
Everyone saying that the statue in the rocks next to the father, is the son...
... but I thought "That's Anakin".
The statue appears to have hair. Which, the son did not.
I think it's a great theory.
Anakin smile is weird because he is old and special effects 😊
It’d be more interesting plot wise if he was the human form of the evil son especially cuz he has no father
I think you are right, but who could be the son (dark side)
I think your digging way to deep into just normal shadows on faces
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Mortus gods and filoni lore that only a select few know about is very confusing for the rest of us 😢
What if the Purrgil aren’t going to Perdidia to die (it’s just where they jump to) but Abeloth feeds on them. Which causes a percentage of them to perish there. Much like how great whites seasonally hunt the waters around areas seals breed. The seals know they will be there, but they still go.
I like your theory
Darth Vader means Father of darkness no?
Abeloth will come. Our main crew may not even be totally aware of her initially. She’s pure force. Creature of chaos and she needs a way into cannon. Something about Shinns blonde hair?
Anikan father
Ashoka daughter
The son? I don’t think it’s baylin. I was leaning Ezera but now he’s in the main galaxy.
If this theory is true (I’ve seen it multiple places now) then why would Baylan be the man worthy of being the son? We can fathom Anakin’s position as the father, it’s easy to align Ahsoka with the daughter (duh), but please tell me what Baylan works as the son?
Would perhaps another force user for here? Perhaps one with a more literal use of the term son? Luke?
Baylan makes no sense as the son. In fact Anakin makes more sense as the son than Baylan. (And that still doesn't make much sense.)
But they're just theories and I've yet to see one of these theories come true.
I think people forget just how unpopular Abeloth was at the time and linking her to the quite ridiculous Mortis Gods just made everyone's collective eyes roll.
Shin will turn into dark side entity similar to Abeloth.
That would make sense he is the chosen one who brought balance to the force who can use both light side and dark side he is similar to a Grey Jedi he is probably now more powerful than both Yoda and Palpatine I will say this about Palpatine he was right about Anakin being the most gifted Jedi he ever met and what we are seeing in Ahsoka is Anakins full potential
And the other thought is it is Palpatine or Baylan wants to be the father
Anakin is balanced in death, Baylan is balanced in life.
Or maybe Anakin as the father is calling to Baylon to take place of the son?
