8 Wild Movie Fan Theories (That Were Actually Correct)
1. Darth Vader Was Burned In Lava - Revenge Of The Sith
It’s hard to remember a time fans were excited about the Star Wars prequels, but the promise of a new trilogy telling the story of Anakin Skywalker’s rise and fall was damn near irresistible.
Whatever the legacy of the prequels may be they still gave us some great moments, with the epic duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan being a standout. For years, fans had wondered how Anakin received the nasty injuries that turned him into Vader, with many suspecting a duel with Obi-Wan led to him being burned in lava. This was just a wild theory, but it sounded plausible.
Lucas isn’t one to disappoint his fans (at least in this one, very specific instance) and Revenge Of The Sith confirmed this was the case. The Mustafar duel concludes with the grisly moment Obi-Wan slices Anakin’s legs off and leaves him to burn, though in hindsight he probably wishes he finished the job; it would have saved so much hassle later on.
