Star Wars Theory

Niatoos Dadbeh, better known by his YouTube channel, Star Wars Theory, is a Canadian YouTuber with 3.29 million subscribers, and is a self-described "Star Wars fan making content for other Star Wars fans". Its creator, commonly known as "Toos", began his YouTube channel in 2016 making videos about the Star Wars film franchise.

As the name suggests, the channel originally began with "Theory" (his nickname) presenting theories regarding the mysteries that were set up by Star Wars: 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 29 million times on YouTube as of April 2024.

One of the features of his channel is to make predictions in Star Wars media.

Online response
Star Wars Theory has been involved in a few controversies. In December 2020, private tweets by Lucasfilm Story Group executive Pablo Hidalgo were criticized for allegedly mocking Star Wars Theory’s emotional YouTube video reaction to the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian. After the tweet became public, Hidalgo apologized and clarified that the tweet was meant to be sarcastic.

In January 2024, Star Wars Theory interviewed a relationship psychologist who claimed that women do not watch Star Wars and who criticized female-focused Star Wars stories. The backlash from the interview shed light on Dadbeh's past strong and sometimes negative opinions surrounding female characters, including his statements that Disney executives had been creating and centering female characters as part of an agenda. In response to the backlash, Dadbeh claimed that the interview was taken out of context and accused “the extreme left" of twisting the words of the interview.
