Lost Fully Explained Through Star Wars!

[Porkins3549]

I've been reading this forum and all the theories posted here quite frequently..but I think you'll find my own theory by far superior to ALL OF THEM. It's quite simple. LOST is mirroring STAR WARS. You're sitting there nodding your head, your jaw agape.. How could you have overlooked it, you ask? It's quite forgivable.. but let me elaborate just for those of you who still dare to question the obvious:



THE ISLAND

-The island is really the DAGOBAH SYSTEM. okay?. It's so utterly obvious. I feel I have been chosen to shed light on the enigma of Dagobah. I would like to add my discoveries to the greater knowledge of all LOST analogists and theorists. The planet DAGOBAH - who named it and why, is told in no existing record. Hello! Just like the island in LOST. The swampy planet (there are swamps on the island) is cloaked in mystery. The smell of rot permeates the air.. the smell relating to the "sickness" which has yet to be fully explained in the series, yet I will explain it momentarily. Dagobah is the only inhabitable world in a system in the Sluis (AKA Dharma) sector.
Dagobah is absolutely covered with life, swarming with creatures and plants large and small. Within the tiers of the ecological system can be found every concievable form of stalking
technique, defense mechanism, and camouflage.. We learn quickly in LOST season 1, that if you don't watch where you sit, you may well find the rock or log to be alive and scuttling away from under you! ALSO, as near as we can tell (so far) all creatures we have seen so far are nonsentient. The island's ecosystem must have spent its energy on quantity and diversity (i.e. horse, polar bear, and boars), filling every possible niche, rather than developing intelligence.
FURTHERMORE, I'd like to point my readers to the following:
Many library records about Dagobah have been garbled or misfiled, as if mere mention of the swampy planet(ie the island) is cause to draw a blanket of mystery around it. The system has been missed on any number of surveys, records lost(hello, LOST), coordinates mixed up! Even veteran space navigators have RARELY heard of it!! The swamp planet has made itself terribly ELUSIVE.. a perfect place to HIDE, as if something on the swampy world (IE THE ISLAND) does NOT WANT TO BE FOUND!!!! More on this as I continue to theorize..

THE HATCH

-The Hatch is a metaphor for both The Death Star and the Jedi Academy in that it is both a place that can destroy them yet also provide sanctuary and limited safety. And though this theory has been speculated on by other LOST observationists, it bears mentioning here as further support of my own theory.


THE NUMBERS
-This is painfully obvious. The "clones" or Storm Troopers as some of you have come to refer to them as.. are grouped in Episode Two/"The Clone Wars" during the last battle scene in the following fashion:
42 rows, 23 in the back, 16 in the middle, 15 in the row in front of the middle, 8 in the row in front of THAT one, and 4 unaccounted for..Thus creating 4 8 15 16 23 42.. You might also notice this goes completely against WEDGE188's theory currently being debated upon in other LOST communities..


OTHER CHARACTER OBSERVATIONS

-The scene in which Luke is chasing a vision of Darth Vader through a system of caves in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK/Episode V, is analagous to the Vision Quest of Locke in episode "?" of LOST, where he has to risk his life following a vision of Eko's brother up a perilous precipice.

-Locke and Eko moving the plane from above The Pearl(also episode "?") mirrors Luke raising the X-Wing from the Dagobah swamp..All of this represents a larger truth that is revealed about faith and themselves. Also note the similarities between the names "Luke" and "Locke".. Coincidence? I think not.

-Michael is a perfect mirror of Lando Calrissian in that he betrays his friends in order to reaquire possession of what is rightfully his.. Many fellow LOST conspirists were correct in assuming that Walt represented the Millenium Falcon and now we see how the original owner, JUST like in The Trilogy, repossesses his rightful property once again. However, he leaves his "friends" Luke, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Leia (AKA Jack, Sawyer, Hurley, and Kate) in the hands of the Evil Empire(AKA The Others), with the understanding that they would not be hurt in the trade.

-Shannon being killed by one of her own (aka Ana Lucia) represents a sacrifice of faith in the same way that the Jedis cause their own destruction in Episode III.

-Perhaps some of you were able to predict the death of Libby as I was from the obvious anagram of "LibbyHurley" which I first rearranged to create " Belly Bury Hi".. the "HI" of course meaning "His Interest".. now We have an obvious outcome of events.. I looked into this further and found another anagram.. "Bury By He'll" or as I see it - "BURY BY HE".. When relating this to the Star Wars universe I was reminded of Han Solo being buried in Carbonite.. which made me think of the last part of the word which is "ite" which made me think of "might" as in "Libby might die." It was there ALL ALONG.

-The four-toed statue from the first part of the finale mirrors a relic from the Sith culture and remnants from the Old Order of the Jedi Knights.

-Note the obvious THRANTA that flies at Hurley at the 18:13 point on episode 23/Part 1/Live Together, Die Alone.. If I may also point out that when the Thranta screeches "Hurley" what the bird specimen is REALLY saying is "Hurry". As in "Hurry up and figure out the similarities between LOST and STAR WARS. Fairly clever if I do say so myself.



Also, this is all leading to a revelation that Jack and Kate are really brother and sister. I rest my case.

WhileI didn't read past the italics, (frankly I don't see the comparisons :lol2: ), I think I might know a blog you might like.

It's called thei hate star wars club. Basically his theory is that Lost is full of subLYMONal (lol) messages to get people to convert to Star Wars lovers.

His most recent post addressing this is here

Some if this seems fair game, considering the show's creators are both avid SW fans. Other parts, like the 'LibbyHurley' anagram are sort of far-fetched. Especially considering the writer hadn't decided on killing Libby until later on.

But, yeah, a see some of the similarities you pointed out. As well as several others, including ones to Donnie Darko and Resident Evil. (Umbrella Corporation = Dharma Initiative. Even the logos are so similar)

[Red Matrix]

This made me laugh. If you pummel something enough, it starts to resemble whatever you want it to.

Kate & Jack are siblings? No, i think it's Claire and Jack, lol.

[~annie~]

I hope they're not siblings!

What would become of Jate!

[sleepwalker]

Heh, but I totally thought the woman Christian was shouting at for his daughter looks incredibly similar to Kate's mother.

I've seen theories where Kate and Sawyer are siblings, so nothing surprises me any more.

[cassiel]

The woman Christian was shouting at was much younger and spoke with an Aussie accent as I recall. Cant be Kate's mom.

Jack and Kate cant be siblings; their sexual chemistry is too strong -it'll be icky. As opposed to Luke and Leia whose romantic development fell flat early on.

Hurley=Chewbacca? Haha!
I guess Charlie would be Threepio and Claire would be Artoo.

The connection between Lost and Star Wars seem interesting but like Red Matrix said, you can read anything into anything if you really wanted too.

Incidentally; an interesting read is Joseph Campbell's Hero with a 1000 Faces which traces the Hero archetype throughout the history of literature. It states that patterns can be observed in the hero's journey which echo throughout all stories about heroic characters. I read it just after the Wachowskis' Matrix came out and tried drawing parallels between it and the book. Its amazingly accurate.

The plane crash is The Call to Adventure. The Refusal of the Call is the Losties initial in-fighting, doubt, paranoia and disbelief. Supernatural Aid is Locke's cure and the prophetic dreams. The other subsequent chapters in the book include:
The Crossing of the First Threshold
The Belly of the Whale
The Road of Trials
The Meeting with the Goddess
Woman as the Temptress
Atonement with the Father
I bet you can see the similarities just from the chapter titles already.

Its a great read for fans of stories.

[sleepwalker]

I do see a lot of similarities in those titles...as well as vague biblical references, which screams lost as well :)

The woman could be Kate's..aunt? Personally, I don't follow the 'Claire is Jack's sister' theory because it is a stretch, and there are millions of other female Australians CS' daughter could be. And I have a feeling Claire is older than the daughter

[cassiel]

Yeah, maybe we've become so obsessed we jump on anything.

Ooh! Henry Gale is the real Mr Sawyer!
David the patient is David Libby's husband!
Vincent is the smoke monster! He's never around when the smoke monster is!
Jack Shepard is Dr McDreamy's brother!

[Simon]

heheh niice some err real thought into that there ;)
Actually I did notice that Sawyer calls Jin "Chewy" like off star wars hehe gathering that micheal is like Han Solo in a way, he can only understand chewwbaka lol

Pretty Kwwl
