For some who may have missed it at the end of Revenge of the Sith - it was only C-3PO who got his memory swiped, not R2-D2. Bail ordered for the protocol droid's memory to be wiped. That's our buddy 3PO :)
Well since R2 always follows C-3PO; and since the rebels would presumably assign them to someone, I still think that they got their memory wiped. Also although Anakin was R2's owner I don't think Anakin did any configurations to make it so in R2's systems. If he did not then R2 would still have Padme as it's owner or the pilot of the ship or even Obi Wan since Anakin was a Padawan. If Obi Wan is the owner in R2's system it would make sense as to why it doesn't reveal his lie. Another reason R2 likely did have it's memory wiped is that it complied with the rebels to smuggle the Death Star plans; instead of joining Vader when he was boarding the ship. Darth R2-D2 anyone? Hmm.. A nice fanfic would be: "What if R2 went with Vader instead of the escape pod?"
R2D2 went to Mustafar, yes, but he didn't witness Anakin kill the Separatist leaders because he waited on the landing pad as instructed. And for all R2 knew, Anakin died fighting Obi-Wan. There's no way to know if anyone actually told R2 the truth, and even Obi-Wan didn't know Anakin survived until sometime after the twins were born.
But he came inside at the end and gave a sad squeel when he saw Obi Won return alone. So I think he believed Anakin died (actually "Anakin" had died some time before when Vader emerged) So Technically, R2D2 had been with Vader all day.
@@ds6956 I don't think so, since there is technically no point in which he learns "Vader" is the new Identity Anakin has. So he really had no connection between the 2, he probably heard about a guy named vader later down the road.
I had this discussion with friends before; even before Episode III. I assumed R2 knew everything but was keeping it to himself to not hurt Luke. It's funny how R2 is the binding character across all the movies. :)
R2 last see anakin, when he fights obi wan on mustafar. After that he goes with obi to polis masa. Is it so hard to belive, that our astrodroid thought anakin was killed? Where the hell he would conclud, that force choking cyborg death machine vader is his former owner?
But R2 D2 was a special droid. Plus he spent many years alongside Anakin, and Anakin even gave him some weapons ect, they shared a bond between no other droid and human at the time. I'm pretty sure somehow R2D2 felt Anakin's presence in Darth Vader. But you are right here too.
My theory is similliar but a little more emotionally deep and I think it suggests a hidden depth to droids that we hadnt considered before. R2D2 wasnt just protecting Luke, he loved Luke, and he loved Anakin, or rather the memory of Anakin. He didnt want to hurt Luke, or tell him that info before he was ready but most of all he wanted Luke to fight on with the memory of what Anakin once was, not what he ultimately became. Its a crazy burden to bear, but R2 did it because he loves the Skywalkers like family. They are his kin.
Spooky Ghost now that would make some sense as astromechs have a bit of a sadistic streak. Also, I wonder if anyone who's still alive in episode 8 actually knows that R2-D2 most likely hasn't been mem-wiped since the first trade federation attempt to invade Naboo! XD
Artoo couldn't have known Vade was Anakin. As Artoo was not there when Anakin was becoming Darth Vader. Meaning he was getting medical treatment and his armor suite. From Artoo perspective Anakin more likely was killed on Mustafar. We know Artoo didn't have his memory wiped as he remembers Ashoka a year after the events of revenge of the sith. In the Ashoka novel Artoo was excited and happy to see Ashoka alive and well. As was Ashoka seeing Artoo. She lost so much and she desperately needed to see an old friend. He even ignores Bail orders and follows Ashoka orders. Which shows he has strong memories and loyalty towards Ashoka. So my best guess is that Artoo never told Luke cause Luke never asked. Luke probably never thought to ask. I also have found that droids like Artoo and 3PO show a tendency at having some form of emotion. So for Artoo the memories of his friends fall from grace and death maybe painful and couldn't bring himself to tell Luke.
I believe that with R2's "Owners" protection manual, he MIGHT have told Luke missions and or everything ahout his father either After Endor or during the time of legends.
Or he simply didn't know. Think about it. R2 never saw Anakin fight Obi-Wan, or ever heard about the news of what's happened to him. As far as he knew, the Chancellor sent Anakin on an assassination mission to Mustafar (since that is what Anakin told Padme in front of 3PO and R2). Furthermore, he never knew what happened to Luke after his birth. Sure he could've put two and two together and find out Luke Skywalker is the son of Anakin Skywalker, but then I point to my previous statement.
In the The Swarm War R2D2 stated reasons were far more interesting then simply protecting Luke from inconvenient truths and gave us a unique insight into how R2D2 saw Darth Vader. R2D2 saw what Anakin did to Padme and to Jedi children, and came to some understanding over the following years of how deeply Darth Vaders actions destroyed everything Anakin had ever loved. R2 did not understand the dark side but he did understand rouge droids. He couldn't rule out that Luke's base code had inherited the bug from Anakin, nor that his own memories of Anakin might contain the trigger. R2D2 was protecting Luke from possible dark side code corruption, not uncomfortable truths. As a combat astromech droid he was quite comfortable with full disclosure of relevant information and Anakins identity was very relevant.
These videos are so awesome. I honestly love everything about the channel. I don't really do contests but its really awesome to have so much content always up. I will put in my request to have a video exploring Ahsoka Tano and what would have happened if she never left the Jedi. Maybe you already did this and I missed it.
Well, goong by the movies, does he even know? He never once hears Anakin be referred to as Darth Vader. He knows Anakin went dark side. But is he even aware it's his old master under that mask.
it's been amazing watching you blow up so much been here since around 200k and I look forward to when you hit 1mil!!! best of luck for the future and remember THE FORCE WILL BE WITH YOU ALLLWAYS :)
R2 wasn't there. He didn't visit the Chancelor's office when Anakin turned. R2 was not present at the Temple massacre. He didn't see Anakin slaughter the Separatists (he was outside). He didn't witness Aankin being sealed into the life-saving armor. And he didn't see most of the duel with Kenobi. He only knows that his master didn't come back from the fight. He had no idea the name Darth Vader mean Master Anakin because he had no reason to assume it.
Just subscribed a few days ago, really enjoying your content man! I found a channel that has as much love for Star Wars and its lore as I do and you do a hell of a job with these videos. Thank you for the hard work!
I'm very hyped about the animations, keep up the awesome work ;) also, more than 5k likes and less than a 100 dislikes, that's how amazing this channel is
Thanks for explaining this. I thought along similar lines. I think tht if C3PO's memory had not been wiped he would have blurted it out for certain & things could have been a whole lot different!
I've been watching your videos for maybe 6 months now and I have to ask the people why you have just 574k subs... I mean although your channel is growing fast, you deserve more subs in less time :D absolutely love your videos!
Hey can you make a video about what if Grand Moff Tarkin didn't command the Death Star to destroy Scarif. Please that would be great to know. Keep up the good work SW Theory.
well, most of the galaxy didnt know vader was anakin, why would r2? in the rots novel when anakin is turning evil r2 is talking with c3po and he says "i dont know whats going on, anakin doesnt tell me anything anymore". and then on mustfar no one says the name vader at any point. obi wan comes back without anakin and they fly off. r2 wouldnt know anything about anakin after that
Connor O'Brien This was my line of thinking too. I don't think R2 knew Vader was Anakin. He knew Anakin went off the deep end and had no idea what happened to him after that. R2 wasn't present at the Chancellor's office when Anakin fell to the dark side and Vader went straight from there to the temple (I believe). Now if R2 was at the temple he would know Anakin did some messed up stuff but I doubt he ever heard any of the clones or the emperor afterwards call him Vader
That and I think Obi-wan pulled R2 aside and told him not to tell Luke anything about Anakin. Though I think in Legends R2 did eventually tell Luke and Leia what he knew about their parents.
I (think) he did a video on the padme and Anakin not liking eachother already, or it may have been someone else. Try looking for it, it is really interesting.
Actually you are wrong. How would Artoo know who anything about Vader? As far as he knows, he went to Mustafar with Anakin, not Darth Vader. Next thing, Anakin, not Vader, has an argument with Padme who, for some reason,falls to the ground. Next he and Obi-Wan fight and move off. After several minutes Obi Wan reappears and loads everyone up and flies off. At no time was Anakin referred to as Vader within Artoos presence. As far as he knows, Anakin is still on Mustafar.
What a great theory! I'm a newer subscriber, first time commenting on one of your vids. Congrats on getting the animation going for future videos. Just wondering if I can get ahold of your animator as I play in a band and we are getting ready to do a music video. Thanks for your time and help. Keep up the awesome content. Cheers from Northern California. 🤘
Anakin...um Vader, did not kill Padme. She very lamely died of a broken heart according to Lucas, which is so out of character for Padme, I am ashamed of the truth, but there it is. Both she and Anakin died the same day. I think Lucas tried at one point to run a parallel with Romeo and Juliet, although I may be mis-remembering. Nonetheless, his point was that even in his darkest moment, he could not kill Padme. So she did it herself, becoming a weak bean once Anakin went dark.
Is it possible that Obi-Wan knew exactly who R2 was, and he told a little fib of omission here to just keep things simple for the time being? Just like the way he told Luke that Vader 'betrayed and murdered his father", Ben had a plan for the way he was going to guide Luke toward accepting his destiny, and claiming R2 at that time was not a part of it.
You know what i like at this channel? That you don't beg for likes. Some people ask for support twice while they're serving us shit. Good job,great videos, keep it going mate.
Could also be that droids have a memory limit and eventually overwrite old files and as R2 now belonged to captain Antillies he didn't think that the data was important enough.
Considering how old R2-D2 is by the time he meets Luke and especially by the Swarm War he probably calculated that it would be better for Luke's emotional safety to keep that factoid to himself.
Nice vid, man! I've discovered your channel not too much ago, just wondering if someone had done this kind of informatives about SW universe, or if I could do it, and I'm shocked with your quality n.n Btw, it would be awesome if you could told us something that has me intrigued since I know Darth Nihilus: why is Darth Sidious considered the (maybe) most powerful Sith ever, being Nihilus mere preseence so destructive, and so vast his powers? MtFbwy, man
Star Wars theory can you do a video about what r2ds thought, emotions and etc... when he saw Aniken fight obi won on mustafar? And how he saw aniken turn to the darkside
if R2 would have told luke of the atrocities that his father commited, he may not have seen the light in him, causing luke to never confront him on the second death star
Where did the commanding officers of the Grand Army of the Republic come from? I mean military leadership is usually earned, but when you entire military is made from cloned soldiers it's kind of impossible to join and rise among the ranks. So where did these non-clone generals and admirals come from?
i dont know if im sure but if i remember correctly r2 d2 had his memory cleared like in one of the last scenes of revenge of the sith its ordered from someone to clear his memory
Hey there Star Wars Theory, I have been watching ur Videos for a little while now and most of them are really great and interesting. I always liked to think of Star Wars "what if one fact would be different" and to hear so many things about others ideas is really cool thanks for that. Now what I thought about this Video; Did R2D2 really knew that Darth Vader was once Anakin Skywalker? He wasn't at the Councilors room as Anakin became the Sith student, neither did he saw the actual transformation from the human Vader to the mechanical suited Darth Vader. The Jedi purge and also the slaying of the Separatists were acted by Vader alone, without R2D2. So I wanted to share those thoughts with u guys, I hope my English skills are good enough so u got what I tried to tell, Wish you all a great day!
I always wondered if Darth Vader even remembered R2 D2. the droid that Anakin Skywalker in a way really cared for it and it was his companion through out many years.
ahemmm.... also, does someone remember at the end of ep. 3 that bail organa said to captain antilles "wipe the memory of this 2 protocol droids clean" or something like that? of course R2 knew that anakin was indeed darth vader, but I think bail organa also did it to avoid the droids to spill the beans to someone within the rebelion or anakin's sons in case they meet in the future because he just agreed with yoda and obi wan that the kids should be protected from anakin and the empire, don't you think? in my opinion that's a more logical explanation than the one given here (I don't mean to offend this channel in any way) it's just from "a certain point of view" lol. btw I looooove your videos man, great job!
What could actually be really cool is a Disney Series entitled "The R2D2 Chronicles." All we know from canon is that R2D2 was an astromech droid from Naboo, but it never really revealed to us if R2 was actually created on Naboo or for how long he had been an Astromech there. For all we know R2 could have been around for centuries before his service on Naboo. I am not really that much of a fan about the "Owner Protection Protocol" theory. I like to think that R2 has more of a short term memory that helps him in the here and now and simply stores all information into permanent memory for recall later on as needed. He simply has to be instructed to open up those long term files and can't just pull them up without instruction to do so. This makes a lot more sense for a reason why he never told Luke about his father... he was never asked to do so. Back to the R2D2 Chronicles: It could be a series of shows set before the prequel era that sees our hero R2D2 created someplace and his adventures in the Galaxy leading up to his service on Naboo. Imagine all the hands he could have passed through and all the stories he has locked up in his permanent memory files. I should really pitch this to Favreau.
what's better question is even if Archer didn't have that safety protocol on him would he tell Luke because what we seen are to develop his own personality because he never had his memory wiped so there's a strong possibility that he knew it was not the right time because it would cause more pain than actually help them but that definitely be an interesting fanfiction
You should do a video on what Obi Wan and Yoda would have done if something happened to both Luke and Leia growing up and they were unable to be trained or relied on to stop Vader and the emperor. Would they have tried to fight them again? Or would they still not get involved directly?
For some who may have missed it at the end of Revenge of the Sith -
it was only C-3PO who got his memory swiped, not R2-D2.
Bail ordered for the protocol droid's memory to be wiped. That's our buddy 3PO :)
Star Wars Theory Cool. I was thinking about that.
Can't wait for the comic animations!!
Well since R2 always follows C-3PO; and since the rebels would presumably assign them to someone, I still think that they got their memory wiped. Also although Anakin was R2's owner I don't think Anakin did any configurations to make it so in R2's systems. If he did not then R2 would still have Padme as it's owner or the pilot of the ship or even Obi Wan since Anakin was a Padawan. If Obi Wan is the owner in R2's system it would make sense as to why it doesn't reveal his lie.
Another reason R2 likely did have it's memory wiped is that it complied with the rebels to smuggle the Death Star plans; instead of joining Vader when he was boarding the ship.
Darth R2-D2 anyone?
Hmm.. A nice fanfic would be: "What if R2 went with Vader instead of the escape pod?"
Star Wars Theory I know 👀👅👀
Darken De la Espada have you watched the clone wars r2 is with anakin and ashoka through it all
R2D2 went to Mustafar, yes, but he didn't witness Anakin kill the Separatist leaders because he waited on the landing pad as instructed. And for all R2 knew, Anakin died fighting Obi-Wan. There's no way to know if anyone actually told R2 the truth, and even Obi-Wan didn't know Anakin survived until sometime after the twins were born.
Aybars The Star Wars Geek He wasn't, Anakin told him to stay outside.
Tony the motherfucking Tiger That's what he just fucking said.
But he came inside at the end and gave a sad squeel when he saw Obi Won return alone. So I think he believed Anakin died (actually "Anakin" had died some time before when Vader emerged) So Technically, R2D2 had been with Vader all day.
@@ds6956 I don't think so, since there is technically no point in which he learns "Vader" is the new Identity Anakin has. So he really had no connection between the 2, he probably heard about a guy named vader later down the road.
Apperently R2 witness anakin choking his wife
What if obi wan never said hello there
Then the meme could not exist and we would have no knowledge of the high ground.
its sad that in the german version obi wan didnt said hello there, he said something like "how are you"... the english version is much cooler!
Then he could just sneak up on grieveous and kill him. Boom utapau belongs to the republic
the whole universe would be addicted to death sticks.
what if obi wan never said high ground?
I had this discussion with friends before; even before Episode III. I assumed R2 knew everything but was keeping it to himself to not hurt Luke. It's funny how R2 is the binding character across all the movies. :)
What if Luke didn't like sand?
Darth Venom
He doesnt like sand. Thats why he wanted to leave the farm.
Darth Venom it's rough and course and it gets everywhere..
"Luke. Join me in the dark side. We will rule the galaxy as father and son and destroy all the sand that is in the galaxy"
Gurpreet Singh MAtharoo lol
Good question... Hmm..Maybe he would have started killing younglings.
R2 last see anakin, when he fights obi wan on mustafar. After that he goes with obi to polis masa. Is it so hard to belive, that our astrodroid thought anakin was killed? Where the hell he would conclud, that force choking cyborg death machine vader is his former owner?
Exactly what I thought
Pelerynek yes! That's my take on it too.
Pelerynek That's what I believe as well
But R2 D2 was a special droid. Plus he spent many years alongside Anakin, and Anakin even gave him some weapons ect, they shared a bond between no other droid and human at the time. I'm pretty sure somehow R2D2 felt Anakin's presence in Darth Vader. But you are right here too.
R2 still knew about it. He also recorded anakin choking padme
R2 and Obi-Wan are masters on trolling Luke
Bruno AgSs the biggest trolls in Star Wars
Because R2-D2 was Snoke all along
My theory is similliar but a little more emotionally deep and I think it suggests a hidden depth to droids that we hadnt considered before. R2D2 wasnt just protecting Luke, he loved Luke, and he loved Anakin, or rather the memory of Anakin. He didnt want to hurt Luke, or tell him that info before he was ready but most of all he wanted Luke to fight on with the memory of what Anakin once was, not what he ultimately became. Its a crazy burden to bear, but R2 did it because he loves the Skywalkers like family. They are his kin.
Does R2D2 know the tale of Darth Plagieus the wise?
Nightmare does anyone know the tale of Darth Jar Jar the strong
Cause he wanted to see Luke's reaction when he found out himself
Spooky Ghost now that would make some sense as astromechs have a bit of a sadistic streak.
Also, I wonder if anyone who's still alive in episode 8 actually knows that R2-D2 most likely hasn't been mem-wiped since the first trade federation attempt to invade Naboo! XD
nah his memory would run out at some point and over write itself
oNoAĢhoS͉̅t bleep beeep blop!
This IS the same droid that went through the entire original trilogy keeping his jet packs a secret for no reason.
Artoo couldn't have known Vade was Anakin. As Artoo was not there when Anakin was becoming Darth Vader. Meaning he was getting medical treatment and his armor suite.

what if Darth Vader used the high ground on the battle with Luke on the Death star
Anakin could've kept on flowing down river until he met with obi
I have been summoned yes, how may I help you?
Darth Vader never battled Luke on the Death Star.
Hello there
That one big Star Wars nerd hi
Another happy landing
That one big Star Wars nerd "General Kenobi I have been waiting for you for a long time" !
Ahnaf Mannan "General Grievious good to see you again"
That one big Star Wars nerd KENOBI!!!!!!
I appreciate that you cover even those small topics!
Yes! I love the lightning affect in the outro plz include it in every video. Love the vids man!!
Yoooo, that animation stuff sounds awesome!! Can't wait to see it!!!
epic video as always. new addition to the outro? lighting and thunder. I like.
Or he simply didn't know. Think about it. R2 never saw Anakin fight Obi-Wan, or ever heard about the news of what's happened to him.

I've BEEN WAITING ALL MORNING FOR A VIDEO YAY
These videos are so awesome. I honestly love everything about the channel. I don't really do contests but its really awesome to have so much content always up. I will put in my request to have a video exploring Ahsoka Tano and what would have happened if she never left the Jedi. Maybe you already did this and I missed it.

animated comics now? I can't wait to see those
gr8 work bro, as per usual
I can't wait for the animated comics you have planned!!
it's been amazing watching you blow up so much been here since around 200k and I look forward to when you hit 1mil!!! best of luck for the future and remember THE FORCE WILL BE WITH YOU ALLLWAYS :)

I love those voice animated videos! They are pretty legit. keep it up!
Your channel has grown so much
i love the content you do and can't wait to see the animated series made
This channel is definitely becoming one of our favorites!
Go on like this! ;)
Just subscribed a few days ago, really enjoying your content man! I found a channel that has as much love for Star Wars and its lore as I do and you do a hell of a job with these videos. Thank you for the hard work!
Vader also didn’t murder Padme. According to Lucas himself, she died due to losing the will to live. It was nothing physical that Vader did.
Animated comics? *EVERYONE ABOARD HYPE TRAIN*
thank you for giving me hours and hours of entertainment I love the videos you and stupendous wave are my favorite star wars channels
Man you are a legend.You are a cultivated man,i love your video,please make a video about the famous yuuzhan vong and their ascension
I'm very hyped about the animations, keep up the awesome work ;) also, more than 5k likes and less than a 100 dislikes, that's how amazing this channel is
Thanks for explaining this. I thought along similar lines. I think tht if C3PO's memory had not been wiped he would have blurted it out for certain & things could have been a whole lot different!
the idea of r2d2 never being memory wiped is the greatest
I like that lil crack of lightning in the outro after Palatine. Yeah.
I've been watching your videos for maybe 6 months now and I have to ask the people why you have just 574k subs... I mean although your channel is growing fast, you deserve more subs in less time :D absolutely love your videos!
Nice Video :)
Sweet! Excited about those animations.
didn't r2-d2 and c3po get memory wiped
Only C3PO's memory was wiped I thought.
oh ... ok now I know
ALIEN POTATO that's right at the end of revenge of the Sith
But only C-3PO his memory was erased, R2's wasn't
Jerectuderun Yes it was, they said it plural. He said Droids not Droid.
Pleeeeaaaasssseeee make a fan fiction
우현서 I'm sure he writes tons of fan fiction stories. But he said his friend is animating one of his stories for him.
Timothy Rodowicz I meant a fanfic about this video
YOU are amazing Star Wars Theory! Have a wonderful day!
Hey can you make a video about what if Grand Moff Tarkin didn't command the Death Star to destroy Scarif. Please that would be great to know. Keep up the good work SW Theory.
Vader: R2D2 never beeped at you what happened to your father.
Luke: Nope.
Vader: Luke, I am your father.
well, most of the galaxy didnt know vader was anakin, why would r2? in the rots novel when anakin is turning evil r2 is talking with c3po and he says "i dont know whats going on, anakin doesnt tell me anything anymore". and then on mustfar no one says the name vader at any point. obi wan comes back without anakin and they fly off. r2 wouldnt know anything about anakin after that

That and I think Obi-wan pulled R2 aside and told him not to tell Luke anything about Anakin. Though I think in Legends R2 did eventually tell Luke and Leia what he knew about their parents.
Best Intro Ever😁
R2 is the best character in Star Wars hands down. That 1 character that never dies and has the biggest roles of the machines next to the death stars
hey star wars theory are you going to make a video continuing on the darth maul comic
What if mase windu killed Anakin in Episode 3
What if count dooku never turned to the dark side
What if Padme and Anakin didn't like each other
I (think) he did a video on the padme and Anakin not liking eachother already, or it may have been someone else. Try looking for it, it is really interesting.
Mace**
Actually you are wrong. How would Artoo know who anything about Vader? As far as he knows, he went to Mustafar with Anakin, not Darth Vader.

Awesome can't wait to see the animation.
we were told by Darth Vader to spy on r2 to make sure he doesn't
Uh... since when did R2-D2 see Vader get his suit?
What a great theory! I'm a newer subscriber, first time commenting on one of your vids. Congrats on getting the animation going for future videos. Just wondering if I can get ahold of your animator as I play in a band and we are getting ready to do a music video. Thanks for your time and help. Keep up the awesome content. Cheers from Northern California. 🤘
Can you do a video on Force Dominate? And if Ezra will ever use it in season 4?
you always make my day whit your video's!! keep the good worm goning man! (form holland)
Anakin...um Vader, did not kill Padme. She very lamely died of a broken heart according to Lucas, which is so out of character for Padme, I am ashamed of the truth, but there it is.

Nonetheless, his point was that even in his darkest moment, he could not kill Padme. So she did it herself, becoming a weak bean once Anakin went dark.
r2 didnt see Anakin alive after the fight with obi wan in canon at least so maybe he didnt know
Idk why I haven't subscribed yet. I have been watching for the past 5 months and never thought of clicking the sub button so weird
Please make videos of:
Luke Skywalker (ROTJ) vs. Starkiller
Ki-Adi Mundi vs. Count Doou
Quinlan Vos vs. Kit Fisto
Darth Maul vs. Quinlan Vos
Is it possible that Obi-Wan knew exactly who R2 was, and he told a little fib of omission here to just keep things simple for the time being? Just like the way he told Luke that Vader 'betrayed and murdered his father", Ben had a plan for the way he was going to guide Luke toward accepting his destiny, and claiming R2 at that time was not a part of it.
wait is the Darth Maul comic you're on going to be the animated one? Looking forward to seeing what you have in store either way
Can you do a video talking about all the sith ranks as well as all the jedi ranks over time?
You know what i like at this channel? That you don't beg for likes. Some people ask for support twice while they're serving us shit. Good job,great videos, keep it going mate.
What if Obi-Wan fought Darth Maul on Tatooine instead of Qui-Gon?
Could also be that droids have a memory limit and eventually overwrite old files and as R2 now belonged to captain Antillies he didn't think that the data was important enough.
Pretty cool. Wait, you're having the Darth Vader comics ANIMATED?! Can't wait!
Considering how old R2-D2 is by the time he meets Luke and especially by the Swarm War he probably calculated that it would be better for Luke's emotional safety to keep that factoid to himself.
Nice vid, man! I've discovered your channel not too much ago, just wondering if someone had done this kind of informatives about SW universe, or if I could do it, and I'm shocked with your quality n.n
Btw, it would be awesome if you could told us something that has me intrigued since I know Darth Nihilus: why is Darth Sidious considered the (maybe) most powerful Sith ever, being Nihilus mere preseence so destructive, and so vast his powers?
MtFbwy, man
Star Wars theory can you do a video about what r2ds thought, emotions and etc... when he saw Aniken fight obi won on mustafar? And how he saw aniken turn to the darkside
if R2 would have told luke of the atrocities that his father commited, he may not have seen the light in him, causing luke to never confront him on the second death star
One of the last lines of revenge of the sith was of that one guy saying erase these droids memories
Where did the commanding officers of the Grand Army of the Republic come from?
I mean military leadership is usually earned, but when you entire military is made from cloned soldiers it's kind of impossible to join and rise among the ranks. So where did these non-clone generals and admirals come from?
Episode 3. Revenge of the sith. Organa's ship. "Have their memories wiped."
Do you do those voices in your own because I thought they were recording but the comics seem like you do them
Boop beep boop bap bep boop
"FOR FUCKS SAKE LUKE, ANAKIN IS YOUR FATHER"
Do you still do what ifs?
Mom says The New Hope was the first movie, so that information hadn't existed yet.
i dont know if im sure but if i remember correctly r2 d2 had his memory cleared like in one of the last scenes of revenge of the sith its ordered from someone to clear his memory
Hey there Star Wars Theory, I have been watching ur Videos for a little while now and most of them are really great and interesting. I always liked to think of Star Wars "what if one fact would be different" and to hear so many things about others ideas is really cool thanks for that.
Now what I thought about this Video; Did R2D2 really knew that Darth Vader was once Anakin Skywalker? He wasn't at the Councilors room as Anakin became the Sith student, neither did he saw the actual transformation from the human Vader to the mechanical suited Darth Vader. The Jedi purge and also the slaying of the Separatists were acted by Vader alone, without R2D2.
So I wanted to share those thoughts with u guys, I hope my English skills are good enough so u got what I tried to tell, Wish you all a great day!
I can't wait until the next video
Luke: Why R2; why didn't you tell me?
R2: Beep, beep, beeeeeeep, beep.
If its possible , can you do a video explaining all lightsaber styles? Please
Where do you get the idea that R2-D2 had an "owner protection protocol system" from. Is there a reference to that system somewhere?
I always wondered if Darth Vader even remembered R2 D2. the droid that Anakin Skywalker in a way really cared for it and it was his companion through out many years.
ahemmm.... also, does someone remember at the end of ep. 3 that bail organa said to captain antilles "wipe the memory of this 2 protocol droids clean" or something like that? of course R2 knew that anakin was indeed darth vader, but I think bail organa also did it to avoid the droids to spill the beans to someone within the rebelion or anakin's sons in case they meet in the future because he just agreed with yoda and obi wan that the kids should be protected from anakin and the empire, don't you think? in my opinion that's a more logical explanation than the one given here (I don't mean to offend this channel in any way) it's just from "a certain point of view" lol. btw I looooove your videos man, great job!
Is it plot armor though? He wasn't there when Anakin becäme a cyborg.
What could actually be really cool is a Disney Series entitled "The R2D2 Chronicles." All we know from canon is that R2D2 was an astromech droid from Naboo, but it never really revealed to us if R2 was actually created on Naboo or for how long he had been an Astromech there. For all we know R2 could have been around for centuries before his service on Naboo.
I am not really that much of a fan about the "Owner Protection Protocol" theory. I like to think that R2 has more of a short term memory that helps him in the here and now and simply stores all information into permanent memory for recall later on as needed. He simply has to be instructed to open up those long term files and can't just pull them up without instruction to do so. This makes a lot more sense for a reason why he never told Luke about his father... he was never asked to do so.
Back to the R2D2 Chronicles: It could be a series of shows set before the prequel era that sees our hero R2D2 created someplace and his adventures in the Galaxy leading up to his service on Naboo. Imagine all the hands he could have passed through and all the stories he has locked up in his permanent memory files. I should really pitch this to Favreau.
such good videos
what's better question is even if Archer didn't have that safety protocol on him would he tell Luke because what we seen are to develop his own personality because he never had his memory wiped so there's a strong possibility that he knew it was not the right time because it would cause more pain than actually help them but that definitely be an interesting fanfiction
+Star Wars Theory That would also explain why Artoo never told Luke about Leia. Or either of them about Anakin and/or Padmé.
Do a vídeo about zillo beast and what happend when Palpatine gave orders to clone the beast! :)
What if Darth Jar Jar revealed himself to be the true Lord of the Sith?
You should do a video on what Obi Wan and Yoda would have done if something happened to both Luke and Leia growing up and they were unable to be trained or relied on to stop Vader and the emperor. Would they have tried to fight them again? Or would they still not get involved directly?
