So I’ve been rewatching all of Star Wars and currently I’m rewatching the clone wars and I just finished the Mortis arc and it got me thinking. There is a summary posted at the bottom if you don’t want to read it all.
So to start I’m going to bring up Star Wars Rebels and how they introduced time travel. We see Ezra go to the World between Worlds in which he time travels and saves Ashoka from Darth Vader. Now this is important for my theory as it deals heavily on how time works in Star Wars especially in high force areas. So my theory goes as follows.
The events of the Mortis arc are happening at the same exact time as the events of the movies. Now I will go over what each scene represents and how this affects the whole galaxy.
Now when we get to Mortis none of the movies have taken place, the brother is not extremely evil and remains mostly in the background much like the Sith before the prequels.
The Phantom Menace
Now when we see Anakin control both the light and the dark by controlling the Son and the Daughter, the events of TPM are happening as Anakin is showing that he is the one who is believed to be the chosen one much like how Qui Gon is trying to do the same with the council.
Attack of the Clones
Now the events of AOTC is not as major, we see the son becoming darker which coincides with the Palpatine beginning his plan, the Daughter showed Kenobi a weapon that could defeat the Son is the events of Kenobi seeing the Clones and planning to use them to fight their war.
Revenge of the Sith
The fight where Ashoka is evil is the war progressing and evil gaining more and more powerful and leads us into ROTS. Here we see time change more as these events, although seem to take a long time in the show, take place quickly in the real galaxy. The weapon is given to the Son which coincides with Anakin prepared to aid the clones for Order 66 as the clones are the weapon. The Son kills the Daughter which is Order 66 taking place. After this Son, or the dark side as a whole, take a massive root in the whole galaxy, Anakin fully commits to the dark side as seen by him falling to the dark side in the Mortis arc as this is when we see his eyes finally yellow in ROTS which is on Mustafar. Another tell off here is that in both scenes he’s near lava.
A New Hope
Ashoka preventing their escape, prevents the dark side from prevailing at Yavin which coincides with ANH.
Empire Strikes Back
Anakin returning to the light after being tainted with a vision coincides with Darth Vader and Luke’s battle as it is supposed to have the opposite effect of what happened to Anakin on Mortis. Instead of information causing Luke to turn evil, he instead escaped evil which Anakin eventually escapes evil. That one is a bit of a stretch and I had a hard time wording it.
Return of the Jedi
The ending of the Mortis arc coincides with the ROTJ. The Father, like Vader, sacrifices himself to defeat the Son, like Palpatine, in order to save others. After this they are brought back to their own time to live out what they had done at Mortis in the real timeline of the galaxy.
Summary
In summary the events happening on Mortis are directly effecting the galaxy and are happening at the same time at key times during both the prequel and original trilogy.
