Also like Palpatine was never happy. He had no loving connections at all and just sought power. His life sucked lol.

[@BlazeMaster]

To be honest that's a pretty farfetched idea, though Sidious had some remnants of goodness in him in the end the Sith are simply unable to grasp the concept of goodness or selflessnessess, so Palpatine's goodness would always be a twisted evil sense of goodness and as such he would simply manipulate anyone who would ever love him since he just saw and understood love as delusion, however Palpatine did end up being helpful or good at times unwittingly and unintentionally always rationalising it as merely a part of his plan and that's the best he is capable like when he tried to resurrect Ezra's parents as a part of his plan to become God, still both Anakin and Palpatine could have this kind of relationship to some degree after Anakin's death and after Sidious finally died maybe his soul could be saved, so while Palpatine isn't capable of turning good he is capable of forming a twisted form of friendship and he could canonically protect his friends whom he would most likely perceive as treasured pawns but that's all.

[@duncanballinger4459]

This is incredibly unique and great perspective, I feel very few if none have tried to turn palpatine in their '"what if" scenarios, but it was spectacular, and very wholesome.

[@Tmhjr_Baskar]

This will be an interesting story. Personally I believe Palpatine has been steeped so long in the dark side that it's technically impossible.....but "what if" stories are good to dream about. Sometimes one story can bring about new ideas. :D

[@marikam2998]

Well, This can only be possible if Anakin has such an ability as Purification but, if Anakin does not have such an ability then I am afraid he will not be able to help Palpatine in any way. We better always have more stories where Palpatine is a Force Sensitive Jedi In The Old Jedi Order from birth. I always love stories where Palpatine, as a Force Sensitive Jedi In The Old Jedi Order achieves more than as a Force Sensitive Sith. It's better for Palpatine to always have more positive roles than negative roles.

[@Tmhjr_Baskar]

@@marikam2998 that would be interesting. Explore the Chosen One's powers. Never know what you'll find. Could be a surprise gift that somehow draws out the darkness in others. Much how it took years to turn Anakin, it would take years to bring Sheev to at least balanced. Especially since Anakin isn't always around Sheev.

[@marikam2998]

It's true. Anakin is truly a surprise within a surprise. As for the exploration of Anakin’s Abilities, I didn’t mind if Anakin from the age of 9 became interested in development. Disclosure. And by studying his Abilities more than Mechanics. Racing. Space Piloting. And Lightsaber Combat, but, on the other hand if we for example, have a story in which Palpatine, being Force Sensitive Jedi from birth In The Old Jedi Orden will be Obi-Wan’s Master. Or Mace’s Master Mace who, will then become Master Anakin then it will definitely benefit Anakin as a Force Sensitive Jedi if he is trained by Obi-Wan. Or Mace who, was trained by Palpatine who, was as a Force Sensitive Jedi from birth In The Old Jedi Orden a not Force Sensitive a Sith.

[@sarahcook2818]

Personally, I think no one is truly beyond redemption, and that's why I love these stories. But to each other own.

[@Tmhjr_Baskar]

@@sarahcook2818 I guess that depends on what you believe Sheev represents. ;)

[@CesarACastillo]

I believe that if Sheev suddenly wanted to turn, Yoda would be the most supportive of the Jedi. Initially, he would be appalled to learn that Sheev is the Sith Lord. However, despite his many flaws, I think Yoda embodies the true qualities of a Jedi. He would likely recall the story of Revan’s redemption and view it as an example of how even those consumed by darkness can still be saved. This is simply my personal take on Yoda's character. I welcome any Yoda fans to engage in a discussion and challenge my viewpoint if they feel differently. After all, healthy debate is the essence of the comments section on every KZbin video.

[@logandelaharpe6362]

The only issue I with this story is yoda allowing dooku to be killed he nearly redeemed him earlier in the war but obi and Anakin fucked it up yoda would want to help dooku

[@CesarACastillo]

@@logandelaharpe6362 he’s his old apprentice of course he’d want to save Dooku as well. It really is too bad he wasn’t saved as well. Only General Grievous needed to die in the battle.

i think the word you're looking for is "Wordsmith" lol

[@TheMimiSard]

I have listened to some of the earlier videos where they were couched as "theories" more than stories, and I really appreciate the shift to "stories" that happened. I consider this a mirror in the fanfiction landscape to the sort of culture that exists on AO3, as this is a bit more grounded and doesn't have some of the common liberties and tropes that are deeply entrenched in written fanfic. Plus Pente's writers make sure the events have solid logic and character motives involved, which is just good writing at work.

[@liamdacre1818]

What if Revan’s force ghost trained Anakin to master both light and dark sides of the force and complete the prophecy as the chosen one?

[@partydave1067]

I think there already is a What if video about it. Although Revan trained both Anakin and Obi Wan

[@bowserjr55]

[@Beaverkin840]

Star wars Galaxy does it if I'm right and he's damn good too. His what if Vader didn't die in ep6 had me crying

[@darthvapor4209]

If Anakin payed attention in classes he could have said "the sith were once jedi but their greed split the divide. Join the light and the order can restore to a more primitive time of balance" old jedi knew all sith teachings but didnt use them. Knowlege is power in the force

[@shadowchild8592]

What if Anakin had interpreted the prophecy as needing to destroy the Jedi and the sith to bring balance and didn't reveal the sith to windu. -edit Since no one seem to get what i mean and i also sparked a debate about what balance means i feel the need to clarify that Anakin would decide that teaching the force led to misery and to bring balance he had to destroy the idea of the sith and the Jedi. Idk if anyone is going to read this but Quigon jinn is my favorite Jedi.

[@marikam2998]

To be honest, Anakin who, is exploring. And finds out the correct meaning. Correct understanding. And the correct interpretation of The Prophecy Of The Chosen One can be a really good story from Our Grand Master in futute because, Anakin who, possesses Mystery Solving like Robert Langdon From The Da Vinci Code. Like Hercule Paurot by David Suchet From Hercule Poirot Agatha Christie. And like Eric Bragg From The Charmed will definitely make Anakin's Powerful as a Seer more special.

[@YamiRondo2]

This isn't a bad idea

[@johnnyhorton2508]

That would Make Sense from a Certain Perspective as Destroying the Old Order then His Son Luke to eventually Build a New Order of Jedi

[@Bwillis2099]

...or alternatively he interprets the prophecy as him needing to start his own order of grey Jedi like Force users 3:35

[@marikam2998]

Well, The Old Jedi Order was destroyed Lucas in Tthe Star Wars Prequels so that complete disappearance of The Old Jedi Order would make sense in the Original Star Wars Movies. Otherwise, there would certainly be no need for Luke to create The New Jedi Order.

[@vnep5743]

Thus concludes our tale of how the would be emperor learned that it's not unlimited power which truly matters. But unlimited power shared with family and friends. To be passed down through the generations. Gaining in strength and ensuring a new orders hold over this Galaxy Far, Far Away. And some say that if you look closely, you may just notice Palpatines essence within the most powerful of his descendants. Guiding them as if paving the way for the day that he returns, somehow. May the Force be dominated by you, always.

Gender swap...but overnight. Picture this: In the serene halls of the Jedi Temple, Padawan Anikana approached Master Oba-Wan Kenobi, her face marked by a mix of embarrassment and genuine concern. "Master... I can't concentrate today, not when I just lost... well, you know," Anikana muttered, her gaze fixed on the floor. Oba-Wan ever composed, even in her current predicament, raised an eyebrow inquisitively. "Padawan, the path of a Jedi requires discipline and detachment. Learn to let go of any... attachments." Anikana blushed, realizing the unintentional innuendo in her words. "But, Master! Someone stole my ...er...lightsaber!" Obi-Wan's stern expression softened, and he couldn't help but hide a smirk. "Padawan, remember that material possessions are not the true focus of our training." Anikana, trying to recover from the awkwardness, nodded earnestly. "Of course, Master. I'll be more careful with my... my emotions from now on. I promise."

I am really looking forward to listening to this story. I am sure it will be an interesting one.

What if Padma was secretly a force sensitive and Anakin and Qui-Gon Jinn found out?

“Join me” Pulls out reverse uno card

[@Sword400p]

What if Anakin went back into the ancient sith empire as Darth Vader and met other Sith Lords and eventually grew in the ranks

[@cmwolf310]

That was a lovely story! A nice change to see ol Shiev coming over to the Light. 😊

[@john98765333]

Yoda be like: "Wait a minute, hold on. Convert Dooku you did. Bring him back to the Light you must." I feel like Yoda would make that one of the conditions with how much he liked Dooku.

[@austinestep8461]

That’s the only thing I didn’t love about this one. Yoda would have wanted to turn Dooku back, honestly Obi-Wan probably would have too

[@Scorchdragon76]

What if anakin took being the choose one seriously or what if Palpatine and Sidious were two different people?

[@Embers-nd4vm]

Palpatine sir, have you ever heard of the tragedy of Darth Sidious the Unwise?

[@patrickd2853]

What if the separatist council never went to Mustafar?

[@gamer24d]

But we was promised Peace

[@jimjams2207]

This is one of the best Star Wars what ifs I’ve heard and one of my favorites that you’ve made. Keep up the good work man!

[@Bigdan678]
