10 Crazy Star Wars Fan Theories People Believed

The Rise of Skywalker may have proven this crazy theory false, but it had plenty of people falling in line, believing it when it was first proposed on Reddit. After all, there were tons of "_______ is Snoke" theories making the rounds online, but the belief that he was Mace Windu was the craziest.

Moments before Palpatine told the Clones to "Execute Order 66," he threw the Jedi Master out his window, and while Windu's death wasn't explicitly shown, there's no chance he survived... right? The theory points to that "death" as being unlikely due to a Jedi's penchant for surviving otherwise deadly falls.

Before that, he was hit with a ton of Force Lightning, which severely disfigured him. When he hit the ground, he sustained a head injury as well, ultimately transforming him into a pale and decrepit man bent on revenge on Anakin and Palpatine for what they did to him.

Another key aspect of the theory is Mace Windu's lightsaber, which is purple — a color made by combining red and blue. Those colors often represent the Dark and Light sides of the Force, so - as per the theory - it foreshadowed his eventual turn towards the dark side as a means of seeking revenge.
