SPECULATION What Exactly Has Awakened, Besides the Force?

Ok, another wild speculation thread (I do this weekly haha)…this time on Andy Serkis’ and Max Von Sydow’s respective characters…because…I think we have seen them before. Also a nod to some spoilery info we have recieved. Stop now if you are spoiler free.

Now, I didn’t tag this post as “Spoiler” because those get a ton of clicks and this isn’t FACT info or even something from the “inside”…its merely specualtory, BUT there are spoilers for the The Clone Wars cartoon in case others, like myself, are just now catching up on them via Netflix after word that they are official canon.


If you saw season three of TCW, you have likely come across the central episodes surrounding the arc of Mortis. This was a rather interesting arc…quick rundown.


Luke, Obi, Ahsoka…pulled in their starship toward a floating cube.
Inside said cube is a world strong in the force
Beings on the world include: The Father, The Daughter, and the Son.
The Father brings balance to the Force by controlling his Daughter (The Light) and his Son (The Dark).
He knew Anakin was the chosen one, brought him to Mortis purposefully to take his place in controlling both sides. As we see in the series, Anakin can do this…he is the chosen one…BUT at a cost.
The Son…eager to turn Anakin to the dark side, escape the cube of Mortis, and control the Galaxy…shows Anakin his future. Shows him that he will become Darth Vader and bring pain and death in his wake.
Anakin is mind wiped, MIB style, by the father and doesn’t remember it. He does remember that he is the chosen one, but continues on with this life.
He helps the Father stop the Son, they both die, along with the Daughter who dies at the hands of the Son.
Luke, Obi, and Ahsoka leave.


Now, that is ALL CANON…all of it.


The thing is…There has been an awakening as per trailer dialogue. I have begun to wonder if Mortis MUST exist and the deaths within the cube are not forever. Could the Daughter, Son, and Father all be back? Maybe so.

Max Von Sydow as the father, Andy Serkis as the son, and possibly the daughter still a mystery, dead still, or not yet revived...maybe even killed again by the Son. It makes sense that Andy Serkis would use all lines from the trailer when speaking to “The Father”. Their roles may not be vastly important as of yet, but this would lend to a character that has “been through some stuff” and Von Sydow would have been around since the PT. This arc was eye opening to me, and isn’t something we have discussed as a main part of the movie. If the “son” esapes, as was planned, he would definitely go find another to aid him like he attempted with Anakin…thus Kylo Ren. This WOULD make Serkis an “Uber” character for sure. If the father leaves to stop him, it would make sense for him to find someone strong in the force to aid him. This could all happen pre-TFA and be something that’s occurring in the shadows. The Father would likely need Luke or Leia to take the place of the “Daughter” as a super powered entity of full light side power to stop him, while his trained Jedi padawans/knights helped to physically stop Kylo Ren.
Mortis, the cube, at this point could be unstable. We know there was power enough in the force within the cube to pull the starship inside…without stable balance within…could it…”Catapult” a planet? Or even be used as a weapon via the Force. It would sure be nice if there were a super strong Light side Jedi around to help balance the thing while Kylo Ren and the Son were defeated to keep it from wreaking havoc on the galaxy.
Anyways, just my thoughts. Whattya think?

 

Just taking a far away possibility and intertwining it with what we have heard hehe. Its fun to speculate daily.

 

I probably should have changed it a little, but I didn’t expect it to last long.
In general I meant. “What” in terms of “an object” or “people” as opposed to just “The Force”.

 

Yeah, I hope that’s the case. The force just becomes MORE!
That way all the following episodes and spinoffs are more accessible. More new Jedi, more awesome stuff occurring.
Ive feared, like others on the board, that it dampens the “balance” of the Force that Anakin brought about…but I think its pretty likely it doesn’t negate his story with something big like this.

Yes @Voxx, you may change it to a more suitable title.

 

haha appropriate for sure
