This contains huge spoilers for s5, read at your own risk!!
I had this theory about how Noah said that Vecna is the most misunderstood villain (Millie shut him up bcuz spoilers)
I was rewatching st4 and stopped by a scene right before El forces 001 into Dimension X and what he says is really interesting:
001 says that what motivated him was that humans were broken creatures and he was fixing the world by killing them and keeping balance.
I immediately thought of Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars) who brought balance to the Force by joining the dark side and becoming Darth Vader, just like Vecna says it.
Who kills Darth Vader in the end, you may ask. It was mostly Lord Sidious (Palpatine) with his lightning powers, someone who was also from the dark side.
So I thought that, maybe, we don't see Kali, Will and Eleven killing Vecna, but we see the Mind Flayer (higher position, same side [just like Sidious and Vader]) killing Vecna.
It would be a such greater plot twist and I think, with that, the trio can focus on killing the higher figure of the enemy side: The Mind Flayer. (If I'm not wrong [I watched SW so long ago sorry], it's Luke Skywalker [Vader's son] who kills Palpatine [prequel], making sense that they will kill the 'final boss')
Some proof:
(I don't know if this is a reliable source, but still, it's a hell of a coincidence)
Plus, the Duffers said that the most violent death of the show is in season 5, so maybe it's not one of the main characters' death, but Vecna's.
(This is a crazy theory, so pls correct me if I missed something!!)
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a holographic transmission of Lord Sidious, making contact with Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army, General Grievous, in what was to be their final contact with one another, from "STAR WARS: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" (2005), written & directed by George Lucas.
DARTH SIDIOUS: "General Grievous, I suggest you move the Separatist leaders to Mustafar."
GENERAL GRIEVOUS: "[bows] It will be done, my lord."
DARTH SIDIOUS: "The end of the war is near, General."
Do you think Palpatine got bored after becoming Emperor?
Like, all these years and years and literal decades of planning and waiting and anticipation. Crafting and recrafting and fixing and erasing plans, manipulating and scheming and constantly working, all to get him to this point.
And then once he got there... what else was there? I mean he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to enjoy the spoils of his newfound infinite wealth and power. He strikes me as an "always busy" kind of guy, the kind that always has at least five different tasks he's working on at once.
So once that was gone, he had to have become at least a LITTLE bored.
Anyways, in this essay I will describe how Palpatine went from Sith Lord to Emperor to galaxy renowned sabacc-polo-fencing-golf champion-
Maul Lockdown is so good because you can see just how resourceful and cunning he is. Extremely skilled and powerful in every way.
But then you finally see a full conversation between him and Sidious play out and it's so insanely sad. Any and all pride, strength and skill is gone. It's watching an abused child try to explain themselves. He can't even get a word in. Sidious knows everything he's thinking and does nothing but mock him and make him feel desperate, like he has to earn the right to speak at all.
But that will never happen. He will never be enough.
Humbling such a character. It's vicious and just painfully sad to watch
what if ahsoka tano hadn't left the order? what if ahsoka was trained by windu? what if ANAKIN was trained by windu? what if qui-gon didn't die? what if ventress never fell to the dark side? what if yoda took care of grogu? what if padmé hadn't died? what if the invasion of naboo didn't happen (or happened on a lower scale) and palpatine didn't become supreme chancellor?
so many possibilities, so few answers. disney, now that you own star wars, we DESERVE this.
GUYS WHAT IF ANAKIN NEVER SHOWED UP AND WINDU KILLED PALPATINE THEN AND THERE?
