SPECULATION Twist - robot vs human anti-vader

'We don't serve their kind!'

You've just stated one of the most provocative theories on who or what the potential villain may be. And in only 3 sentences! You're getting a great badge bud.

The human that became more machine than man flipping to a droid that's becoming more man than machine could work so well. And it's an issue we're facing more and more (drones/robots/automated everything) which can make it even more powerful.

A droid who managed to become a force adept somehow... Via organic transplants... Dunno but it gets the brain spinning.

Could Bane or Plageuis have inhabited a machine body? I think they need flesh though as a host...

P.S. What the hell was Grievous anyway? He had human parts (eyes/brain?) but clearly a droid... Could wield a light saber but was void of force abilities...

 

That takes artificial intelligence to a new level. Perhaps if it is like a General Grievous character who was once human and is almost completely a machine and wants to look more human again. The human pieces may be from Force adepts and gives him the ability to use the Force. From a Disney POV it reminds me a little of Pinocchio, the puppet who wants to be a real boy.

 

Yeah it reminds me of the movie A.I. with the Pinocchio theme.

I think I remember reading that Grievous was a cyborg, the alpha version, while Vader was the beta version.

 

This an interesting theory. Perhaps this droid is able to bypass the laws of robotics and go around killing beings by it's own free will and taking their organs to build itself a human or alien body.

 

And maybe it especially needs/wants the organ(a)s of force adepts, and whatever jedi it could find. Skywalker DNA would be the holy grail...

 

This is a bad ass idea

 

As twisted and as weird as it sounds, I think if Anakin built another droid it would resemble Padme.

 

Interesting Wookieepedia article that could pertain to this:

Holy hell, you're on a roll MarsPhoenix! The robo step son trying to avenge his human step dad and, in essence, replace/become Luke is fascinating.

Could also explain why beard/no beard... And how Luke is the villain but is not...

 

A Clone/robot Luke theory. It means @Viral Hide/@Kyle & @spectacle are all right!
Luke is the cyborg but he's NOT the cyborg at the same time.

 

Would Vader make a droid that looks like Luke when he wanted Luke to join him in the first place? After the events of TESB, Vader stops looking for Luke and builds a Mechanized clone of Luke from his hand.

 

Incoming sororicide... Robo Luke can't find his inferior quasi-step-brother, opting to kill Leia instead... Cliffhanger ending, was it or wasn't it Luke? Audience won't find out until Episode VIII.

Nothing gets you out of hiding like a robot who looks like you killing your sister.

 

Excellent, MarsPhoenix. I'm loving this theory more and more. Even if it doesnt come to fruition, it's going to be my top fan-theory on Ep VII. Actually it's the kind of story that would link prequels to OT to sequels in the most elegant way.

 

Even if it's not what takes place in Episode 7, it would make a good EU book.

 

Someone 'shop a lightsaber onto Pinocchio and steampunk his face a bit, add a metal arm/leg. Put a shadow of Vader/Geppetto in the scene.

I'd totally buy this book. Or animated short on DVD/Bluray/4K whatever (handdrawn to pay homage to Pinnochio).

Also, man this is such a feelgood thread. Group hug!

Seriously though, who is the real Pinnochio among us: Kyle or spectacle?
