Since the wand takes form of whatever suits its owner best, what did it look like when it first came into existence? It couldn't have had an owner to form to at first. Was it man made? How so? Was it found in some ancient ruins? But then what happened before that? Did it just poof into existence with a big bang? Maybe it was just a blank white rod to be a canvas to paint on? How was it enchanted with the magic to transform?

My theory is that the wand itself is a sealed evil in a can, a dark entity that was imprisoned way before the events of the animated series (like, thousands of years ago) by Star’s ancestors, so they could use its “evil powers” for doing good things and helping others (not without risks though).

The wand changing its appearance is the trapped ancient evil’s way to “please” its owner, to “earn their trust”, tricking her or him into thinking that its enormous powers are in fact under their full control, when it’s clearly not true.

The wand in fact won’t hesitate into manipulating the weaker owners when it gets the chance, especially if they already have some kind of evil within. Notice how easily it almost mind-controlled Lobster Claws, basically turning him into a brainless vessel, a mere puppet for whatever obscure plot the evil force trapped inside the wand planned.

Now, that’s a pretty weird design for a lobster-styled wand, right? It doesn’t even look like a lobster at all! And what’s up with the reptile-like eye?

This is actually a glimpse of the dark entity’s true (and original) form. The wand didn’t transform into something “appealing” to the Lobster monster because it didn’t need to. The puny, weak and thus easily controllable Lobster Claws was the perfect vessel for the wand’s evil intentions in that particular situation.

Things quickly changed when Lobster’s “good side” (or “less evil” side) showed up and the wand quickly turned into something more lobster-like to get his “puppet” attention back. Truth is, Star and Ludo were not the only one trying to force Lobster Claw into doing something.

There was a third “person” constantly calling his name.



The wand itself.

Why is Lobster Claws confused here? Couldn’t he just hand the wand to Ludo or Star? And why are his claws around his head? It’s almost like he was having some kind of headache… or was he struggling to ignore the voices inside his head? Or, more precisely, the dark entity’s voice telling him to NOT let anyone take the wand. Luckily, Marco’s intervention probably prevented the end of the Universe as we know it. Just like Ludo, the wand forgot about the “karate boy”.



Now, this theory is obviously not canon (why would a dark entity need a charger?), but I still wanted to share.
