That could be very interesting

[@jeremyk.6456]

Yeah I have to agree this could be a sick @ss story that could go multiple ways. Either the nightsisters become allies with the Jedi or Vader is able to use them to help overthrow Palpatine.

[@HeyShotgun]

It’s rather interesting concept that Thrawn kinda sympathizes with anakin/Vader. He took notice with a his past. Thrawn understood human nature. And considered strategic value for Vaders potential as a means for the emperors downfall.

[@FantasyFolklore]

Yeah my interpretation of Thrawn alliances was that he actually liked Anakin when he first met him. But now I guess he only facilitated in turning him back because it would be beneficial to their cause

“Make the empire great again” I love it

[@marcusisgod2592]

As we know darth vader was a natural engineer and could use mechaguru or whatever so what if he used skill to create nanobots to repair his lungs and burns while also making limbs that could conduct the force to make lightning. This could relate to inquisitor baris as she used nanobots in the bomb and he may remember nanobots and their uses. He could could also conduct experiments diguised as torture to fool sidious, learning to heal wounds, make force sensitive droids/limbs and using nano bots to manipulate mididclorians to strip or enhance the force in individuals. What I was thinking was that he used nanobots to remove scar tissue especially around the lungs and he would be dipped in bacta or bacta would be applied this would allow him breath which means he can meditate more deeply. And for the limbs, it is possible to make material force sensitive and I was thinking he make limbs skeletal looking like in attack of the clones but would then cover the we either grafed flesh from his body or flesh made from his blood and other ingredients like perhaps kyber crystal this would make the force flow from him easier and perhaps with the sith alchemy in the limbs making his force lightning more powerful. Basically an uber vader who is perhaps stronger than full potential anakin.

[@Odinfang]

So glad I’m not the only one who sees the value of nanodroids.

[@jeremyk.6456]

This would be an awesome story!

[@Roge_Tebnelok]

What if Ezra sacrificed himself instead of Kanan during the Imperial attack on Lothal? What if the Bad Batch executed Caleb Dume on Kaller following Order 66? What if Palpatine killed Yoda during Revenge of the Sith? What if Count Dooku was ransomed to the Republic by Hondo Ohnaka?

[@weebe-san9285]

I like the sounds clips and voices, it really adds to the immersion in the story

[@FantasyFolklore]

Same, I try to do it as much as I can, but obviously I can’t do it every video

[@Achuidian179]

Looks like Thrawn became the new Rex for Vader! Day 77 of my list. What if; Anakin never gave into his feelings for Padme (Pentre Patrol did his version), Aayla Secura was the chosen one and became Darth Talon, Shme Skywalker was adopted by the Tusken Raiders, Boba Fett saved his Tusken family, Count Dooku was a regular count for the CIS, Jabba the Hutt supported the Jedi at the Start of the Clone Wars, and finally, what if Sabine and Ezra fell in love?

[@Eclipse-mf6hc]

As unrealistic as this might be (Thrawn status with the Mitth after defeating the Grysks) I can’t help but imagine Thurfian and Zistalmu (the two dudes who spent 3 books scheming to take down Thrawn. The first of whom is the head of Thrawn’s family) sitting in the March of Silence throwing fits upon hearing about Thrawn’s new status

[@alexander.tahtadjian]

This was amazing. I’ve been a fan of your videos for a while and it’s always fun to see your interesting SW what if’s. It was also fun to see Vader and Thrawn start an Imperial Rebellion getting shown some love. This is definitely an interesting scenario and it should definitely get shown some more love. Plus I think we can all agree that this is one of the best scenarios we Star Wars fans have been asking for forever. Also Vader and Thrawn make an incredible and unstoppable duo. Great job as always and I can’t wait to see what you do next. I do have a few ideas for some possible what if’s: 1) What if Rey was a Mandalorian…essentially what if Din Djarin found Rey and took her in as a Foundling. 2) What if Ezra was a Mandalorian…something like how both his parents were Mandalorians who left Mandalore and went to start their own lives (you could still keep most of Ezra’s backstory) and potentially make Ezra and Sabine a couple (since Disney won’t, we have too…#ezrabine4ever. 3) What if Jango Fett and/or Boba Fett Joined the Republic…I think something interesting could happen with this. 4) What if Rey, Finn and Poe went back in time to the Clone Wars…this would make the World Between Worlds even more of an important focal point and I could also see them get along well with Anakin, Ashoka, Rex and the rest of the 501st (it would be fun to see Rey, Finn and Poe join the 501st) I hope these are some amazing ideas for some potential What if’s

What if Caleb survived the fire on Lothal? What if Ahsoka got to coruscant with maul before Mace windu left for the chancellors office? What if Ezra found luke instead of obi wan on Tatooine?

[@oblivious4686]

11:50 Damn, Thron quoting Lincoln

[@commanderweeb9949]

Good point regarding force potential and body size. We can find rebuttals for both of the following arguments - 1. force power is proportional to body size, which represents total midichlorian count in the body (master yoda is way stronger than pong krell) 2. force power is proportional to midichlorian concentration (i believe it is said that vader's potential was reduced chiefly due to the removal of his limbs, which wouldn't change his concentration overall...) So I think it is rather unclear whether force potential is determined by total midichlorian count, or rather, its overall concentration

[@adlad1563]

I disagree with the rebuttal for point 1, as you're not comparing two separate people with separate concentrations, you're comparing one person to his former self. Yoda has a higher concentration than krell, but if krell lost an arm he'd still be weaker. Also one could think of your limbs as a way to channel the force, so even if your m count stays the same, you can't channel it as well as you could before

[@FantasyFolklore]

I've always found Vader's loss in potential contradictory, but I guess maybe you have a set potential at birth not based on size or something, idk, would love to hear Lucas but

[@rachelprighel4409]

A lot of these what ifs could easily be made into shows. I think Star Wars would be smart to do that or lucasfilm. Make multiple animated movies or shows that take place in alternate universes that explore a what if Anakin killed sidious or what if this or that happened back not just a 1 off episode but like a whole 2-3 seasons type thing. Like how dc constantly has a main universe then multiple alternate animated and live action at the same time

[@salvatorediangelo453]

GREAT story, I really like the stories that take "bad" characters and show them more as gray. Gray characters are always more interesting and deep down I'm always rooting for them to land on the side of doing good. The sequel trilogy was one giant abomination, it should have just been called "Man Bad Woman Good". The one saving grace was Kylo Ren, his pull back and forth between the light and dark was truly intriguing. Not to mention the nuiansce of someone who we first see in darkness being pulled back to the light whereas we were used to seeing force users on the light side falling to the dark.

[@marcusisgod2592]

What if anakin was found by jedi belonging to another sect like corelia or those nomadic jedi who allow attachment. What if anakin went to dathomir in revenge of the sith to search for ways to save padme. What if yoda decided to swap the masters of ferus olin and anakin. So anakin with siri. Obi with ferus What if ahsoka and anakin crash landed on bendu's planet. Also what if darth vader joined thrawn in meeting the bendu and went on a spiritual journey back to the dust ball tatiotene. What if the whills turned padme into a literal force angel to save vader.

[@GAJake]

I think rather than fighting the rebels to show his strength Thrawn would capture hera like he did in rebels and convince her and others to join the empire until he had enough people to overthrow palpatine. I think with the help of agent kallus and admiral yularen of the ISB they could hide thrawn/rebel sympathizers in the ranks much easier. I don't think he eevn needs vader but of course it would be easier. Emperor Thrawn could then purge the bad people in the empire and devolve local governing power back to the systems and a galactic republic. However, since Thrawn's goal was to protect the chiss I don't think he would fully give up his power over this republic. I could see him transition the role of emperor into supreme commander of a new "Imperial expansionary defense fleet" outside the republic. However he would likely stay outside the main part of the galaxy, but I don't see him giving up the power to intervene. This would create unity by keeping the more fascist imperials under his control outside the galaxy, slowly reintroducing democracy and the lies of the emperor to them (like the clone wars). The new republic tried and failed to integrate imperials into a democratic system which created a fascist political party secretly funding the first order. I could also see Thrawn appointing an heir and then writing a sunset clause that after the heir's death the supreme commander would be reorganized under the executive branch. Thrawn's speech to the imperial military: "We give thanks to the order brought about by the late emperor Palpatine, however he was secretly working with the separatists to start and prolong the clone wars, exploit the flaws of the jedi to turn you against them, and gain power for himself by promising to stop the war he created as emperor. The newly reformed galactic federal republic has devolved much of its governing power to local systems which will prevent senators on Coruscant from becoming corrupt so quickly. Furthermore separating local military and law enforcement power under a directly elected executive, and the courts under its own judicial branch will provide checks and balances against the senate. And of course, if they betray the new constitution we have the duty to take back the power and oversee new elections. By exiling ourselves to protect the galaxy from afar, we can redeem ourselves by scouring the unknown for threats against your families, neighbors, and my people until we can return home"

What if Dooku took the blood sample that Qui-Gon got from Anakin and used that instead of Jango Fett's DNA sample for the creation of the Clone Army? Would the influx of so many powerful force sensitives cause problems for the Jedi and the Sith?
