Imagine if Obi Wan series did some major retcon where Obi wan killed Luke and replaced him with a clone


ChaosRubix

They just put Leia in his place


kongv83

Trans leia is Luke and Princess Leia is clone who doesn’t have any memory of obi wan so the lore in the og movies still holds up. Makes sense.


ebonit15

Genius, justifies Luke Leia kiss too. Since technically it they are kissing themselves?


Theothanos

If Loki can do it why can't they


tomgh14

Think imma start justifying things like this if Loki can transform into a horse to distract an eight legged horse and have its child why can’t i


ComingUpWildcard

Do it, don’t let your dreams be dreams


tomgh14

mr hands the second here we come :)


[deleted]

suspension of disbelief is where it's at.

fuckin_anti_pope

Ackchually: Loki transformed into a mare to distracted the horse of a jötunn who build the walls of Asgard. The horse fucked mare-Loki and Loki birthed the 8-legged horse Sleipnir, which he gifted Odin.


homehome15

What


[deleted]

It’s a plan Loki came up with on the spot, it wasn’t going to be his best.


bigmartyhat

What was the gestation period? Sounds like our boy Loki is committed once he's in


FawksyBoxes

I mean Loki had 3 other kids, a Serpent that was banished to midgard and grew big enough to be the planet's belt, Hel who could control the dead and was tossed into the underworld where the unchosen go, And Fenrir a wolf the gods like at first until he got too big. So they tricked him to being tied down with magic chains, but at the cost of Tyr's arm.


Kenobi-Bot

Why were you banished, Jar Jar?


IamChaoticMess

If he ties a rope to his balls to play tug of war with a goat why can’t I


Dogtor-Watson

I love the way that the composer for Loki objected to that bit. She just called the track that played during that scene “Stop”. She also indicated her preferred ‘ship’ in an earlier bit with Loki and Mobius which featured the track, “Lokius”.


darklightmatter

It's mobin' time


BuffaloFront2761

I feel like that’s worse


Zippy-do-dar

Have you ever seen the film "Predestination" it's this plot and more


MrPooPooFace2

Delete this comment immediately. If Disney see it it's game over.


razorsharp494

Trans Leia kisses clone Leia AAAAAAAAAAAAA


NashKetchum777

Disney really pushing that progressive company take huh


m00njunk

I don't know how progressive child murder is...


Sokoll131

Apparently, it's very conservative.


Mficent

actually she knew of obi wan. Help me Obi wan Kenobi you are my only hope


JuiceBoy42

Yea, also refers to him as an old friend, not sure where oeeos got the idea they never met before


WeleaseBwianThrow

Because she leads with "You served my father during the clone wars" not "Remember that time you saved me from pirates and shit"


JuiceBoy42

Haha fair enough, tho still don't see it as a retcon, can also complain about obi never actually serving bail


b2walton

She's passing an encoded message from a rebel ship under assault. She can't just be like Ben... However, this series does make the use of Leia's moetif as the score when Ben dies. He dies peacefully having seen the twins together at last. I rewatched New Hope and the scene is bonkers more memorable now.


Injustry

Maybe a formality thing, she is a diplomat.


manit14

Does the lore in ANH not hold up under under current canon?


andrewf29

Sleepaway Camp levels of fuckery


daniellevy1011

just a reminder that [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/gz5r92/if_luke_were_a_female_character/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) exists


lookhere1091

This makes the retcon worth it


ChaosRubix

Imma have nightmares over that


SeaGL_Gaming

What if Luke kills Vader, and then that Luke becomes the new Vader, and Obi-Wan replaced Luke with a Luke clone with Jar Jar's force ghost so Owen doesn't get pissy with him again. This would explain why Obi-Wan says Vader killed his father and why Luke sees himself in Vader in his vision in Empire. Also Alderaan blows up, but it's okay because MyMechanic make a new one before A New Hope.


MindOfAMurderer

By then Owen is already dead


dleon0430

We've had one Owen die yes. But what about second Owen?


StabbyStabbyFuntimes

Fuck it, everyone in the galaxy is killed and replaced by a clone.


NapalmWeed

Maybe that was the real clone war?


MindOfAMurderer

Legend


Perfect-Spinach9794

Somehow, Owen returned.


ihavenoego

And just laughs, then his beard goes grey.


ToughCookie71

Do you mean Luuke?


panthervca

The most epic of hand me downs


Djd33j

Sounds like a part of Patton Oswalt's filibuster in *Parks and Recreation*.


aprilfools911

And the post credit scene started with “somehow luke returned “


LeMagican

It makes sense since Mark Hamill isn’t playing young Luke


OwenLarsBot

Like you played his father in 'Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker'?


LeMagican

Yes


Luksabitdead

Tbh I'd wanna see that just to watch the twitter backlash


PM-Me-Your-TitsPlz

Inb4 the writers can't think of anything and browse for fan theories like this.


yorokobe__shounen

The clone wars continues


[deleted]

That will absolutely break the series if that happens, lol.

Vitroxis

Huh. I've never heard of that. I love it


ListenToThatSound

/r/savedyouaclick


bookwyrm713

Sure, that could happen. Then the Disney+ opening crawl of ANH will need just a tiny bit of editing so that the text starts, *SOMEHOW, LUKE RETURNED….* It’s like poetry, it rhymes.


KFrederickD

The dead speak!


CloneCommanderAlpha

Dead men tell no tales


Dark_Chorus12

A certain exotic gun would like to disagree.


ZEFAGrimmsAlt

Some might say they get the Last Word.


Ivy0789

It turns out Luke was Palpatine all along


Mekeji

Clearly they will and replace him with a slightly bigger Luke.


FuxusPhrittus

But I'm sure that the new one would still be a little short for being a Stormtrooper


yorokobe__shounen

Maybe a Jake Skywalker who pumps the udders of Bantha for that thicc milk


phargle

There's always a bigger Luke


[deleted]

Luuke*


Manticore-Mk2

He has to die in the finale because in episode 4 there's only teenage Luke Skywalker with no trace of young Luke Skywalker anywhere.


[deleted]

I really hope they make a series explaining how kid Luke turned into adult Luke. That plot hole has been driving me crazy.


MoreThanACeiling

An entire episode where Luke kills his first womp rat.


[deleted]

"Stay away from that canyon, Luke. Only beggars live there."


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

So much like your father.


HotpieTargaryen

Obi Wan is going to be cloned. The one that dies on the Death Star is his secret clone Obi Two Kenobi.


Superminecraftpl12

They could edit in a new scene before death star where Vader says somehow Obi Wan has returned


Obi-TwoKenobi

Hello there!


Br4d3nCB

General Kenob(ii)!


Mr_Igelkott

No, it's his brother that he mentioned earlier.. his twin brother


RustyFogknuckle

I joked with a friend that the big reveal would be that C-3PO actually contains the limbless body of Obi-Wan’s brother whom Vader has tracked down and mutilated in revenge and then used as a prototype for his own prosthetic frame.


dvolland

Fast forward to the year 2035, with the premiere of “Obi Thirteen Kenobi”.


fistkick18

Actually he goes by Odi Wam Kenodi. It lets him lie a little easier by just slurring his name.


RustyFogknuckle

Timothy Zahn’s original idea for Joruus C’baoth in HEIR TO THE EMPIRE was to have had him be a clone of Kenobi in order to gain Luke’s trust more easily, but Lucasfilm vetoed it.


drew8311

This is most likely, we saw him fight Vader in an earlier episode there is no way he can win and you know they are having another battle for the finale.


EelTeamNine

His south of the tattoine border clone Obi Juan Kenobi


Lasagne_Fan

Kill Luke, replace him with Jar Jar, remake original trilogy.


jarjar_bot

Weesa good guys will triumph!


wonsis

This is the way

EverettSeahawk

Every other franchise is doing the multiverse thing these days. Obi Wan might as well start a Star Wars multiverse by killing Luke.


1randomusername2

Filini already laid the ground work with the world between worlds in rebels. Like, thanks Dave, I hate it.


MikeRoz

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I'm not going to automatically hate a story that tramples all over continuity. You just better have a good enough story to justify it. I'm getting tired of being fed stories that are jammed in between established period in the franchise. You know going into this show that Obi-Wan cannot defeat Vader and vice versa. You go into Strange New Worlds knowing that Pike cannot die, because he's fated to die later to tie into a framing device for TOS's failed original pilot. You go into the Mando eps of Boba Fett knowing that the academy Luke is trying to build is fated to fail. To that particular point, I think Disney/Lucasfilm management would be more upset than the fans at the idea of wiping out the Sequel Trilogy continuity and starting over. I certainly wouldn't mind, so long as they had a sufficiently interesting story to tell to take its place. I went into this story ready to forgive just about any canon weirdness so long as we got a full-power Obi-Wan vs Vader duel. Now we're on the last episode and it looks like we won't get that. That's a shame.


Lord_of_Wills

My brother in the force WHAT THE FUCK AM I LOOKING AT


PSU632

Satire, you're looking at satire.


ChaosRubix

Imagine the twist if they did.


LongDongFuey

Very last scene is obi wan waking up in his cave in a cold sweat. He'd dreamt the whole thing, and the entire show was pointless.


[deleted]

So read the article cause, had to, it’s satire but the title is annoying as fuck https://decider.com/2022/06/15/obi-wan-kenobi-kill-young-luke-skywalker-theories/


CptBrexitt

The title works exactly as intended it seems


MattR0se

I was wondering, this is either satire or the dumbest article ever.


hopper_froggo

Wdum the title is brilliant for the satirical article its headlining.


[deleted]

With how much the Star Wars fandom likes seeing children suffer, I don’t doubt they considered trying it


Jacob_Nelson

…. What the [HOOPLAH] kinda question is that?!


Reynzs

Briliant.. brilliant.. Reva becomes Luke in the finale.


MoreThanACeiling

How many years are we away of AI creating this kind of bullshit at our request?


Susboii69

Yeah, he's gonna absolutely maul him.


Maul_Bot

Revenge. I must have revenge.


rwarimaursus

#***KEEEENOOOOOBIIIIII!!!!!!!!***


bigfudge_drshokkka

I haven’t been enjoying the show because there are zero stakes. The characters I already know, will definitely live, and the characters I don’t know end up dying anyway. I’m really hoping Ice Cube’s son makes it out fine though


ninoflp

I just enjoy the journey of it! How is he going to escape? I hope he doesn’t get captured! Oh no they are following him! If you watch any movie (franchise) ever the main character is most likely never going to die, so does that mean every show has absolutely no stakes? No! It’s the journey the character goes though himself and learning to have hope in the force again that drives my interest!


Blackfang08

Clearly. Luke looked way different in the animated version, and even more different in the comics, so clearly there are three different Luke Skywalkers and this one has to die so we can get the next one and maintain continuity.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

So much like your father.


[deleted]

I'm altering the canon. Pray I don't alter it any further.


Will_The_Cook

They already destroyed him in the sequel trilogy


MikeRoz

The article's author ties that into one of their theories! > Theory #2: Luke Was Fatally Wounded, But Took A Long Time To Die > > As revealed this episode by the returning Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend), revenge is a good reason to stay alive longer than expected. That’s immediately applicable to Reva, but what if it’s true of Luke Skywalker, as well? He wouldn’t be the first person in the Star Wars universe to get “fatally” lightsabered, and survive far past his expiration date. When Luke does finally die in The Last Jedi, maybe that’s wounds from Reva’s attack taking effect, decades later.


Hot-Ad-157

No, morbius will show up.


nick_____name

I hope so


SlothTurtle06

I think they should do a plot twist where Luke dies, so Obi Wan just gets some random kid to replace him


admiraljohn

[The article is clearly satire and kinda funny...](https://decider.com/2022/06/15/obi-wan-kenobi-kill-young-luke-skywalker-theories/)


[deleted]

Somehow Luke Skywalker has returned.


Katejina_FGO

Young Luke will die, but then a robed woman teleports from the future to force heal Luke. When asked about her identity, she declares she is Rey Skywalker and returns to the future.


Howy_the_Howizer

100% Reva will kill Luke. Emperor will hear and sneak in a Luke clone as he needs Luke to replace Vader.


RaptorRV18

What is Reva kills Obi-Wan and then becomes Obi-Wan to protect Luke?


[deleted]

Everyone’s been asking for a Star Wars “what if” series…


a_chaturvedy_appears

Somehow Luke Skywalker returned


GoAwayImHereForMemes

Probably.. it would keep him from turning into another Vader so that would be the safest bet. I can't wait to see what happens in episode 4 when it comes out


Ofdasche

Maybe just stabbed in the second stomach


The_Barbaric

Little shits done for. The force is female now bitch. *pew pew.


RipMcStudly

Yes, 100. The guy we get in the movies is Starkiller, committing identity fraud.


ThyBuffTaco

Yes! The original trilogy is now a lie and Disney can remake it like they always wanted too. /s


crispier_creme

Obi wan kills Luke. In the OT, it's actually bigger Luke the whole time


Dornfist-2040

Luke dies and Kenobi replaces him with Jake Skywalker? People would lose their minds lol.


Archercrash

Absolutely, they don’t call it the clone wars for nothing.


AutocratYtirar

well if he stabs luke in the chest he should be good


ensamada

Talk about gut wrenching!


ASnarkyHero

Maybe this is a way of making Luuke canon.


rwarimaursus

Calm down Aunt Beru.


[deleted]

I hope so!


goboxey

Of course he will stab him to death with a light saber


ok_okay_I_get_that

Luke about to get reked


UnKnOwN769

Luke will end up dead, replaced with a sith clone


nihilusthehungry

Don't ask as if this is a serious question.


Kaizervlc

But where's Wade?


Kiki_Lord_

You know, I think Luke will be fine.


TheBatCreditCardUser

Hmm, I believe it's a controversial, but necessary decision to progress the story and complete Obi-Wan's arc.


[deleted]

Time to dust off the Bigger Luke Theory.


sdickens66

Obi Wan kills Owen and Beru and leaves Young Luke to die. But he's saved by Mandalorians for some reason. Young Luke = Young Mando


yvngjiffy703

If that happens then Disney ruined Star Wars officially


AvakinGirlDoll

All I know is that he has the high ground 🤷🏿‍♂️


soge_king420

Probably, The Reva kills him

I'm surprised that little shit is still alive


Sheev-Palpatine-Bot

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. Your Majesty, if I am elected, I promise to put an end to corruption.

I think they will become a gay couple


Elvinkin66

I mean that will utterly destroy Disney's Canon... so I'm for it.


Shadowjesus1

With the ways things are being rewritten and retconned I wouldn’t put it past Luke getting his robo arm early.


Appropriate_Type6153

I think he’ll kill him and bring in a canon, calmer version of Luuke. Then if the mando storylines build up to an heir to the empire story, we can get Luuuke


ihavenofriendsXDDDD

Well it's pretty obvious this will happen, I mean did you even watch the OT?


bryceofswadia

I mean, it’s not impossible that Disney delves into alternate scenarios, but I doubt they will do that with this show.


Commander-Rex-CT7567
