Search Your Feelings, You Know These ‘Star Wars’ Theories To Be True

We take a deep dive into some of the craziest and most outlandish Star Wars fan theories swirling around in the internets. Some of these hold water, others are just fun, while some are just plain bizarre.

Qui-Gon Jinn was a Sith

So this theory falls in the category of ‘kinda interesting but probably not even close to true’ but it is kind of interesting so lets dive in. First lets remember that Qui-Gon was padawan to Count Dooku aka Darth Tyranus, a Sith lord.

He was also known to repeatedly disagree with the Jedi Council. We know this from a brief conversation Qui-Gon has with Obi-Wan Kenobi where Kenobi says his master would be on the Council if he didn’t challenge them and their will.

This leads us to believe that Qui-Gon did not fully embrace the Jedi code. Then Qui-Gon disobeyed the Council’s wishes to train Anakin Skywalker despite the boy being filled with attachment, anger, and fear.

Let’s also not forget that from a Sith point-of-view, bringing balance to the Force could also be the extermination of the Jedi all together. The most compelling portion of this theory comes from Qui-Gon’s postmortem activities.

Qui-Gon was the fist Jedi to master the ability to commune with the living through the force after death. Well, why is that important? Well, we are glad you ask. After Qui-Gon’s death he was able to pass of this knowledge to both Yoda and Kenobi and apparently Anakin.

But when did he teach this to Anakin? After he turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader? Why would a Jedi be in contact with a Sith Lord? That doesn’t make much sense unless Qui-Gon was a Sith the whole time! But then why did he also teach this to Yoda and Kenobi?

We aren’t sure and this casts some doubts on this theory.

Boba Fett actually killed Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru

We are lead to believe that the brutal murder of Luke’s aunt and uncle came at the hands of Stormtroopers but that may not be the case. We might have to lay the blame at the feet of the most notorious bounty hunter in the galaxy, Boba Fett.

Complete emulation of a moisture farm could be the work of flame-thrower wielding Stormtroopers but it could also be why Darth Vader singles out Fett in ‘Empire’ with his “no disintegrations” line. Did Fett go a little overboard carrying out the Empires dirty work on Tatooine? Maybe.

Boba Fett is ALIVE!

Speaking of the fan-favorite bounty hunter, Boba Fett seemingly died when he was knocked into the Sarlaac pit on Tatooine. Fans did not feel that his death suited such an infamous bounty hunter.

There is plenty of fan fiction about Boba Fett surviving the pit and escaping to keep on his bounty hunter ways. But as of now it’s more of a Schrodinger’s cat situation.

Han Solo was actually Force-sensitive

In Han’s own opinion there is “no such thing as luck” and if that is true then how does one account for all the times it seems Han is the luckiest person in the galaxy. Despite the later editing that made it canon that Han did NOT shoot first, we all know Han shot first.

But with this now canon edit, let’s break this scene down. Han has almost precognitive reflexes in this close-quarter shoot-out. Greedo is across a table and shoots at Han who just barely moves his head to avoid the blaster bolt and then immediately retaliates, killing Greedo.

Now how did Han even know to move his head and then immediately shoot back. Is Han that intuitive? OR does Han use the Force without knowing it. Let’s also remember that Han successfully navigates an astroid field which according to C-3PO claims is 3,720-1 long shot.

Not to mention all of the other extremely close calls that he consistently survives. Just because he doesn’t initially subscribe to “hokey religions” it seems he may have reaped its benefits for most of his life.
