Forget ‘Bigger Luke,’ the Two Anakins Theory Solves One of Star Wars’ Biggest Enigmas

Star Wars fan theories can go to some wild places, adopting all manner of explanations for offscreen events or onscreen discrepancies. Even the most ludicrous idea can be fun if taken in the right spirit. The “Bigger Luke” theory is among the wildest and most widespread, explaining away filmmaking technical discrepancies in Mark Hamill’s eye-line. Fans say its proof of a second, “bigger” Luke Skywalker, via hologram or Force-projection, because of Leia’s “too short to be a Stormtrooper” line. And yet, it’s compelling enough to merit consideration as an intellectual exercise, if nothing else. But now, that theory seems to have spawned a spinoff: the “Two Anakins” theory.Star Wars fans center this theory on the idea Emperor Palpatine cloned Anakin Skywalker. That purportedly explains the differences between his character in the movies and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. It’s equally intriguing, just as out there, and another fun exercise in world-building elasticity. This time, at least, the incongruities it addresses can go beyond filmmaking technicalities and into fun theory about Star Wars lore.RELATED: 10 Best Disney-Era Star Wars Movies And Series, Ranked
