Star Wars Theory is a YouTube channel with 3.06 million subscribers, and is a self-described "Star Wars fan making content for other Star Wars fans".[1] Its creator, Toos, began his YouTube channel in 2016 making videos about the Star Wars film franchise.[2]

Content

As the name suggests, the channel originally began with "Theory" (his nickname) presenting theories regarding the mysteries that were set up by Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. From there, the channel has grown and evolved over the years, with recurring motifs and series such as Star Wars Explained, a narration of many of the Star Wars comics, animated (and often humorous) fan fictions, and many others. His 2018 fan film Vader Episode I: Shards of the Past has received praise from among the Star Wars fanbase and has been viewed over 23 million times on YouTube as of April 2021.[3]

One of the features of his channel is to make predictions in Star Wars media.[4][5]

He has done live discussions with various people, such as film producer Kevin Feige,[6] Star Wars novelist Matthew Stover,[7] and Paul Hirsch[8] who worked as a film editor on the first two Star Wars films. He usually does these interviews with Marc Fernandez with him, calling it The Rule of Two.

Pablo Hidalgo controversy

In December 2020, Star Wars Theory was involved in a controversy with Lucasfilm Story Group executive Pablo Hidalgo.[21][22][23] Hidalgo was criticized for privately tweeting "emotions are not for sharing", allegedly mocking Star Wars Theory’s emotional YouTube video reaction to the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian.[21] After the tweet became public, Hidalgo apologized and clarified that the tweet was meant to be sarcastic.[21]
