[@gabrielguedes8576]

I appreciate how R2-D2's portrayal allowed Anakin to absorb Vader, rather than simply flipping a switch. It seemed as though Vader, who had once consumed Anakin, was in turn absorbed by him, bringing balance through metamorphosis and genuine transformation. This act of self-liberation also freed others, culminating Anakin's lifelong struggle against the bondage that had ensnared him since childhood, not as a boy, nor as a Jedi, nor as a Sith, but simply as Anakin Skywalker.

[@krel7160]

Not to mention that, were a new jedi order (one perhaps more pursuant to the force itself, rather than light and dark) to arise from the ashes.. The patron saint they would follow is Anakin's example. Unlike the Jedi.. one falling to the temptations of the dark side is not lost. Only misguided. And with a gentle nudge, might be rekindled back into the light. An order of mercy, and uplifting, rather than one of rigid dogma.

R2 is more likely to have engaged Obi wan as a threat because he was attacking Anakin, rather than just standing by. R2 would also not have just believed Palpatine over his own record of the situation. When Palpatine told Vader that he had killed Padme, R2 would likely have shown him his own records that she was alive when they brought her aboard the ship.

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 R2-D2 saving Anakin on Mustafar 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 absolutely something R2 would definitely do…he’s just best boy. 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

We don't see this side of R2 in the movies, but read Dark Empire and you see him kill a whole bunch of crewmen by crashing the World Devastators into each other. And if memory serves, he also crashed the Eclipse II into the Galaxy Gun in Dark Empire II, which also blew up Byss . So, between the World Devastators, the Eclipse II, and Byss, Chopper may have been a Psychopath, but add the millions on board the first Death Star to those listed above, R2 is a stone killer, a side that PPSW captures well here. Grand story, especially R2 blowing up Yularen and old Palps with Nanobombs. Two thumbs up, fun for the whole family
