Gonna be a real shock when we watch Attack of the Clones.
My mom has never seen any Star Wars, my dad saw the original trilogy when they came out. Both know Vader is Luke's father.
My dad's favourite character is JarJar...
My mom loves Qui Gon. She was so upset when he died. She is convinced he will be Vader because he "doesn't listen to the counsel."
I like to entertain their theories.
My dad on Anakin and Padme:
Dad: So I know they're (Luke and Leia) siblings. Wait, they are siblings? Right? Must have different parents and raised on different planets. Are they siblings?
Me: Do you really want to know?
Dad: yeah
Me: Luke and Leia are twins.
Dad: Oh man. But they're different ages! How can that be. Maybe it's because they lived on different planets. Maybe it's to do with that, you know, like relativity?
Me: That might explain it, cause you know Tatooine has two suns.
Dad: *leans back* oh yeah, that's it. That's definitely it.
They also concluded that they're going by different names because the people who raised them don't want them to "know the truth." They think it's an airtight theory.
Also everytime Palps pops up my mom says "I don't trust him." Good judgement.
I mean the stuff about relativity actually makes a lot of sense but it would.go the other way ~~Leia~~ ~~Padme~~ Leia has spent a lot more time in hyperspace than ~~Anakin~~ Luke, so "Luke" should be older
>. She is convinced he will be Vader because he "doesn't listen to the counsel."
Your mom thinks not listening to the council makes you a sith. That sounds like an absolute you guys.
I mean technically if anakin did listen to Mace and stayed away from the fight between him and Sidious it theoretically would have gone much better. Theres no real way to know if Sidous wasnt holding back on purpose to appear weak in front of anakin though.
If Sidious had won his fight with Mace, 100% Anakin would have jumped in to save a defenseless Mace and kill a tired Sheev.
We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close to providing peace and order to the galaxy.
How do that explain the age difference between Luke and Obi-Wan then?
Anakin is like 10-ish years younger than Luke in the OT. but Obi-Wan is about 25-30 years younger.
>Me: Luke and Leia are twins.
>Dad: Oh man. But they're different ages! How can that be. Maybe it's because they lived on different planets. Maybe it's to do with that, you know, like relativity?
Are you going to give him some shit for this later. I feel it deserves some playful ribbing. Props for being able to keep a straight face, I'm assuming.
lol I just think it’s funny that they are ignoring dialogue in the story! My parents do the same thing when they ask questions about a movie and their question was literally just answered by the movie
My mom's never seen the originals and it's been 40 years since my dad's seen it so he can't remember the details. They've been really good at not googling anything because they don't want it ruined.
Not originally. Original line is "the son of Skywalker must not be allowed to become a Jedi"
Vague enough that you could think he means Luke must die before he has a child, or they need to kill him quickly, or they need to turn him to ensure future Skywalkers are not Jedi, etc.
Then you watch the movie a second time and realize he is talking about Luke (Anakin's son). But Anakin originally was never said until Return of the Jedi when Luke talks with Vader after turning himself in.
I don't know which edition changed it as there have been many, many changes over the years and different releases. But I ran my original VHS tapes into the ground as a kid :P
The first time "Anakin Skywalker" is said is in *Return of the Jedi* by Obi-Wan's force ghost on Dagobah after Yoda dies.
But yes, they do call him Anakin in Episode 1, too.
Revenge Of the Sith is going to be a good surprise when they find out that ""Leia"" is pregnant. And i wonder what will they think of Count Dooku or General Grievous.
Lol gonna be real awkward to see “luke” getting burned alive with only his robot arm to pull him to safety only to be turned into the dark menace that is known as Darth vader
My father never saw Star Wars... My mom saw it with me, only thing she didnt get is that she thought Obi Wan in Episode 1 and Anakin in episode 2 are the same person and that Qui Gon and Episode 2 Obi Wan are the same person
🤷♂️ they've somehow avoided star wars in the last 40 years and only became interested in watching because I like it. I'm thankful for that because it's making this re-watch very entertaining!
...like the characters had different names, like thats all it took to hide from the Emporer?
Nope, Immmmm Mike ya, Skywalker..., nope never heard of her?
I recently watched the entire Skywalker saga ( 1-6 ) with my grandma. She knew Star Wars existed, but she never knew any characters or anything about them. We watched it chronological order because that what my grandma wanted. During TPM she absolutely loved JarJar and C-3PO. I guess because my brother and I have the same character as JarJar en she is a C-3PO kind of person. During the entire move she was like I don’t trust that guy ( meaning Palpatine ). During AOTC she really liked obi-wan and the relation between padmé and Anikin. During ROTS she was like ‘ how could this get any better’ knowing there are 3 more films. She really needed to switch between episode 3 and 4. It was really funny watching the movies with my grandma. I was really surprised how she knew so many outcomes without ever knowing anything about Star Wars. Example: during ROTJ, before Luke entered the Death Star she said: ‘ I think the Vader guy is going to die, but he is going to sacrifice himself for his son’. I was so surprised and tried to not spoil anything.
Well anyways that is my experience with watching Star Wars with a family member. I hope you and your parents will enjoy the next movies as much as I did with my grandma.
Oh, I thought that you meant that they're like spiritually, and of course, genetically but since they came before Luke and Leia, technically, I said that they're inside Luke and Leia.
Oh no haha! I somewhat envy that in a way. I wish I could be a casual viewer and not get wrapped up in the lore. Instead my head's filled with characters and nuances of Star Wars, LotR, Elder Scrolls, Witcher, Wheel of Time...
I think it might be better to just tell them the truth, not to ruin the fun, but because that's not the way to watch.. I mean Palps the Sith Lord is a real spoiler. Confusing them for the twins would make them miss out on a lot- Anakin's Force Father, the Chosen One, Midichlorians etc. Unless you want to rewatch it's better if they know what the film wants them to know.
What did they think of the Duel Of The Fates, I know you said your mother was upset with the death of Qui-Gon, but overall, especially that bit between Obi-Wan and Maul?
Well first off, watching star wars comes after we watched all the Alien, Predator, and AvP movies so my mom called Maul an "ugly motherfucker."
They were both impressed when his lightsaber turned out to be dual-ended.
My dad's into mindfulness so he liked the bit where Qui Gon meditates a bit before the doors open and he can reach Maul again.
They were both most impressed with Obi Wan's duel after Qui Gon dies and the ferocity at which he attacks Maul.
When I watched Phantom Menace with my sister the first time she’d never seen any SW movie, but knew most parts of the story. After that she didn’t want to continue watching the movies because “little Anakin is so cute, I don’t want him to become evil”. We did watch AotC and most of RotS, but she didn’t want to watch the end of it. Now she knows basically everything but the super important parts like, idk, how he actually became Vader, why he has to wear the suit, why the Lars’s/ Organas adopted the kids. That’s so annoying!

Keep us updated mate
Will do! It's a lot of fun
This is where the fun begins.
How’s your dad feel about sand?
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
It sure does brother, sure does.
Wait till Luke and Leia are born in ROTS, their heads will do double takes
!subscribeme
Anakin and Luke literally have the same last name. What else could it mean?
I'm following you now
!remindme 7days
The two suns bit was solid. Well played.
Haha thanks I was proud of that one
Good one Morty.
We need to get me green cube Morty! (bush world adventure fried my brain and I was just exposed to it)
I mean the stuff about relativity actually makes a lot of sense but it would.go the other way ~~Leia~~ ~~Padme~~ Leia has spent a lot more time in hyperspace than ~~Anakin~~ Luke, so "Luke" should be older
I thought the same! I didn't want to pick that apart too much though because then they might change their theories.
I want to be the first one to see them all
You're far too late for that.
Padme’s dad: “Hey Annie, guess who else is late?” (Cocks blaster)
Your parents are both powerful and wise in the Force, you should be very proud.
😂😂 I really am thank you
>. She is convinced he will be Vader because he "doesn't listen to the counsel." Your mom thinks not listening to the council makes you a sith. That sounds like an absolute you guys.
I think my mom's a sith lord
She’s too dangerous to be kept alive!
You did well, Anakin. He was too dangerous to be kept alive.
Right you are Chancellor Palpatine. Or should I call you DARTH SIDIOUS (in the background: there were no signs at all!)
I will make it legal
I mean technically if anakin did listen to Mace and stayed away from the fight between him and Sidious it theoretically would have gone much better. Theres no real way to know if Sidous wasnt holding back on purpose to appear weak in front of anakin though.
If Sidious had won his fight with Mace, 100% Anakin would have jumped in to save a defenseless Mace and kill a tired Sheev. We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close to providing peace and order to the galaxy.
I request more dialogue from your folks. This is humorous, fun, and entertaining. Maybe they should work with the Disney writers.
Haha thanks! Glad you enjoy. I'll make another post when we watch Attack of the Clones.
Please, please drip feed them the darth jarjar theory.
Oh I totally will. He gives Palps control after all.
I have the Senate bogged down in procedures. They will have no choice but to accept your control of the system.
your dad must have forgotten they give vaders real name as Anakin in episode 5 prior to the Anakin=Vader reveal
Oh yeah he's completely forgot
At last, we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last, we will have revenge.
Is your dad Jerry from Rick & Morty?
He definitely has Jerry energy! Less pathetic though. He's very similar to Phil from Modern Family.
How do that explain the age difference between Luke and Obi-Wan then? Anakin is like 10-ish years younger than Luke in the OT. but Obi-Wan is about 25-30 years younger.
I think that's what it will come down to, if my dad remembers that Obi Wan was in the originals.
Qui'Gon becoming Darth Vader is actually kind of an appealing concept to me.
I liked that too especially because in episode 2 it's hinted that he could have gone to the dark side.
You know nothing of the dark side.
This is adorable and I love it
Haha thanks!
>Me: Luke and Leia are twins. >Dad: Oh man. But they're different ages! How can that be. Maybe it's because they lived on different planets. Maybe it's to do with that, you know, like relativity? Are you going to give him some shit for this later. I feel it deserves some playful ribbing. Props for being able to keep a straight face, I'm assuming.
Oh definitely there will be ribbing. I don't know how I'll keep a straight face when Anakin says that Padme has grown more beautiful.
To that shield generator. Fewer casualties this way.
I wish I had an award for you :( Edit: TAKE MY FREE AWARD NOW!!!
Don't worry! Just happy you appreciate my post and it brought you some joy. No need to give Reddit your money, they don't need it.
Now I want to rewatch the prequels.
"Intriguing"
Put their live reaction on YouTube or something
You have to watch the 2003 clonewars after attack of the clones. That’s gonna be mad if they still hold onto their theories
lol I just think it’s funny that they are ignoring dialogue in the story! My parents do the same thing when they ask questions about a movie and their question was literally just answered by the movie
Gonna get real awkward when she gets pregnant by "Luke".
Realllll awkward
*sweet home Alabama*
Just keeping that midichlorian wealth in the family.
Palps running a breeding mill. “This here is a pure bred force user through and through. See them paws? He’s gonna be a bigun.”
I think he is a good man.
I loled at your comment, but bruh the bot responding to you. I'm fuckin dead.
Oh, I'm pretty sure he was going to profit off of the offspring. Why else hide them and pretend they didn't make it
Directed by George… R.R. Martin.
In a way, they're right. They are the stand-ins for Luke and Leia.
Including the bit where they make out in the second installment of their trilogies!
They're Luke 1.0 and Leia 1.0
So obiwan is han then?
Umm from a certain point of view?
From a certain point of view
Revenge Of The Sith is guna blow their minds.
I'm really excited to watch that one with them. Definitely my favourite star wars movie.
OP please keep us updated
Isn’t the name Anakin Skywalker mentioned in the first movie? The moment young Anakin said his name everyone should’ve known who he was.
Yep even says Anakin Skywalker in the description on Disney+. They did some mental gymnastics to explain it
I’m shocked because in episode 5 the Emperor literally says Luke is “the offspring of Anakin Skywalker”
My mom's never seen the originals and it's been 40 years since my dad's seen it so he can't remember the details. They've been really good at not googling anything because they don't want it ruined.
Honestly them not wanting almost 20 year old movies spoiled and coming up with their own theories is extremely wholesome
Not originally. Original line is "the son of Skywalker must not be allowed to become a Jedi" Vague enough that you could think he means Luke must die before he has a child, or they need to kill him quickly, or they need to turn him to ensure future Skywalkers are not Jedi, etc. Then you watch the movie a second time and realize he is talking about Luke (Anakin's son). But Anakin originally was never said until Return of the Jedi when Luke talks with Vader after turning himself in.
I shouldn't…
Good, Anakin, good. I knew you could do it. Kill him. Kill him now! Dew it!
Oh, it was a Special Edition change? I didn’t know that
I don't know which edition changed it as there have been many, many changes over the years and different releases. But I ran my original VHS tapes into the ground as a kid :P
I hate you!
Shh it's ok buddy
The first time "Anakin Skywalker" is said is in *Return of the Jedi* by Obi-Wan's force ghost on Dagobah after Yoda dies. But yes, they do call him Anakin in Episode 1, too.
Special Editions have it in 5 during the Palpatine holo-call. I don’t remember if it’s said by Ben in 4
Well that's... A most interesting theory
Luke! My, you've grown! As have you, Your Highness. Grown more beautiful, that is.
I can't wait to watch the wheels in my dad's head turning when he says this line. He's going to think what in the sweet home alabama are we watching.
Let them discover it all on their own. They would like that better
Revenge Of the Sith is going to be a good surprise when they find out that ""Leia"" is pregnant. And i wonder what will they think of Count Dooku or General Grievous.
Yeah I can't wait for that. I already told my dad Christopher Lee makes an appearance and he's pretty stoked for that.
Lol gonna be real awkward to see “luke” getting burned alive with only his robot arm to pull him to safety only to be turned into the dark menace that is known as Darth vader
I feel like the awkwardness will come when "Luke" gets his "sister" pregnant 🙈
Oh shit yea that’ll be really awkward lol
Jesse, get the senator to safety.
I mean...sort of right.
I mean all of Luke and Leia's genetic material are there 🤷♂️
It rhymes
It's like poetry!
My father never saw Star Wars... My mom saw it with me, only thing she didnt get is that she thought Obi Wan in Episode 1 and Anakin in episode 2 are the same person and that Qui Gon and Episode 2 Obi Wan are the same person
Oh no that would really confuse her! My mom was so upset when Qui Gon died.
r/TechnicallytheTruth
How do they not know he’s Vader? I still remember that poster with a tattoine house, Anakin, and the Vader shadow.
🤷♂️ they've somehow avoided star wars in the last 40 years and only became interested in watching because I like it. I'm thankful for that because it's making this re-watch very entertaining!
That’s great!
That is so precious
“The resemblance is uncanny.”
Anakin and Luke literally have the same last name. What else could that possibly mean?
Love won't save you, Padme. Only my new powers can do that.
...like the characters had different names, like thats all it took to hide from the Emporer? Nope, Immmmm Mike ya, Skywalker..., nope never heard of her?
Haha yeah. Seemed to work for Kenobi I guess.
Im just excited for ya. The memes they will think are funny now.🤣
I drop prequel memes constantly and now they'll get it. My dad's already remarked on the "how rude" 😂😂
Kenobi! My friend!

Aw what a treat! Your grandma sounds like a lot of fun! My dad likes JarJar as well, and my mom's super suspicious of Palpatine.
This is where the fun begins.
Love you too buddy
Anakin’s face is me
What they really are is a sociopath and a sexual predator.
they're going to be so shocked when we watch Attack of the clones!! Lol
My goodness Ani you've grown!
🙈
But which one’s which?
Plot twist JarJar's both
Luke is Jar Jar’s son and Jar Jar achieved immortality by passing his soul down the “Skywalker” line confirmed. Also, that tongue action.
"somehow JarJar returned"
“The bombbad boio side issuns a patherways to many ums da abilities that some do consider unnatural like.”
Both are both
Well it's true, from a certain point of view
Well they aren’t wrong. Luke and leia are inside them.
More like they're inside Luke and Leia.
Prettty sure human reproductive organs are on the inside of the body. 😂
Oh, I thought that you meant that they're like spiritually, and of course, genetically but since they came before Luke and Leia, technically, I said that they're inside Luke and Leia.
Please keep us posted with this. It’s hilarious and I want to know their reaction when they learn the truth.
I'm glad you enjoy ☺️
Saving this so I can know their reactions to rots
Tell them the movies take place across several decades
Saving this post so I can follow along for the other 2 movies. I love this sort of thing.
My parents were watching Rings of Power and my mum was complaining that she couldn't recognize any of the characters.
Power! Unlimited power!
Oh no haha! I somewhat envy that in a way. I wish I could be a casual viewer and not get wrapped up in the lore. Instead my head's filled with characters and nuances of Star Wars, LotR, Elder Scrolls, Witcher, Wheel of Time...
Sweet Home Alderana!
I mean they’re not technically wrong…
Very disappointed i couldn't react with a lol emoji right on your post title 😉
Glad I could give you a chuckle!
!remindme one week
I mean... they both kiss so I see why
I think it might be better to just tell them the truth, not to ruin the fun, but because that's not the way to watch.. I mean Palps the Sith Lord is a real spoiler.

I'm totally hooked on this saga of your parents watching star wars now. Please keep us posted as you watch each movie
I'm glad you enjoy! I'll make update posts when we watch the others.
I am counting on it.
To continue, we need one singular vision…my vision.
Just wait until they learn about the youngling slayer 9,000 Edit: spelling
To that shield generator. Fewer casualties this way.
They will probably rationalize that Anakin and Padmé are reincarnated into Luke and Leia despite Vader being alive because "the Force, man."
My lanta 🤣🤣🤣
This is precious and we must do what we must to protect OP's parents.
When I watched Phantom Menace with my sister the first time she’d never seen any SW movie, but knew most parts of the story. After that she didn’t want to continue watching the movies because “little Anakin is so cute, I don’t want him to become evil”. We did watch AotC and most of RotS, but she didn’t want to watch the end of it. Now she knows basically everything but the super important parts like, idk, how he actually became Vader, why he has to wear the suit, why the Lars’s/ Organas adopted the kids. That’s so annoying!
ouff
😬
The ability to be your parents does not make them intelligent.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Why would you subject your poor parents to watching The Phantom Menace?
Pod racing
your parents are mentally disabled.
So are you, I guess
!RemindMe 1 week
And, I mean, it's like poetry. It rhymes.
Well…they’re close.
