This sounds like an alternative scenario, where Luke manages to turn his father to the light side earlier but then he gets himself killed at the hands of the empire. And then, a very angry and now turned Vader, together with Leia, Han and Chewie, would go to hunt down the Emperor and his fleet, maybe even sacrificing himself at the end, to save the others and to destroy Palpatine.

[@TheGreater-ScopeVillain]

That would be interesting to see. How exactly would Vader, or rather Anakin, be able to kill the Emperor? Because he _certainly_ couldn't in a fight.

[@emperorholocron8278]

The Greater-Scope Villain One way would be that Vader/Anakin would train Leia and they take on Sidious together to avenge their family member

[@Forerunner2]

1 1 To be honest they wouldn’t have much of a choice. With Luke gone, they would need allies and I don’t think they could turn away a renewed Vader who had the potential to as someone commented above train Leia

[@MediumRareOpinions]

The question in my mind is how much of the Empire's military would follow him. Vader inspired fear, but so too did the Emperor. Which would put many of them in between a rock and a hard place. Perhaps their 'loyalty' be a simple case of which Sith lord was nearest at the time.

@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain Vader still can kill Sidious, but he must react fast to deflect to his Force Lighting. One strike, and that could be game over for him.

[@joshuacantin514]

This feels like an anti-hero version that the Empire itself could have composed. There is the slight underlying menace to show power and the march that shows discipline, coupled with heroic overtones to show a saviour-like quality. The Empire would be saying, yes, Vader does things that may be hard to digest, but he is making the hard decisions that others will not make. And, he is doing what is necessary so that he, with the Emperor, can finally bring peace and order to the galaxy.

[@mr.badwolf7356]

Every time I see the Mustafar Duel, I can't help but imagine Palapatine cackling loudly at the thought of such a duel happening. To him, this was the prime evidence that he had won. His plan was to turn the Republic into the Empire but his vision was never complete without the addition of Vader. Vader was his crown jewel, the ultimate trophy, the greatest prize in his scheming against the Jedi and the Republic. To have the newly corrupted Anakin fight his former master, brother in arms, and failed father figure to the death proves that the Emperor had succeed in his turning of the young Jedi. It showed that he had more control and more power over Anakin than anyone or anything else in the galaxy. It showed that he could turn the Greatest Hope in the Jedi Order into the Worst Enemy of the Light. The turning of Darth Vader was Darth Sidious's strongest show of power.

I like to think of this theme as being that of an alternate timeline story where Vader is turned back to the light but not in time to save his son and grief pulls Anakin out of the shell of Vader who uses all of his might, all of his love, all of his pain to push back against the unrelenting evil of Sidious. "The last Skywalker has fallen." "No. There is another." Vader would say as he force pulls Luke's Emerald Lightsaber and uses it to block Palpatine's lightning, breathing laboured breaths as the force of their battle shakes the room and crumples steel all around them, even Vader's mask begins to crack and shatter revealing the tear-stained-red blue eyes of a redeemed Anakin Skywalker. Anakin pushes the lightning back on Sidious and when he realizes the Death Star is about to blow he grabs his old master and clamps his robotic arms tight around him ensuring that both of them die on the Death Star and that the Empire dies with them.

I think you could make a decent AU just based off of this song. Imagine, an alternate Star Wars where Palpatine seduced Anakin to the Dark side not just by appealing to his fears, but by convincing him that everything - the slaughter of the Jedi, the destruction of the Republic - was the Will of the Force. This theme would play as we see a scene from Anakin's perspective, of himself as the hero leading his gleaming warriors to victory, cutting down champions of evil and cruel terrorists left and right. Then the scene would shift, the music would change to the cruel Imperial March we know and love - and we would see Anakin from the perspective of the younglings, slaughtering every single one of them in the name of the Force's Will.

@General Grievous 1. Without Palpatine the Separatist Alliance wouldn't have occurred because it wouldn't have had enough support and thus would have either never come into being or been blitzed out of existence fairly quickly. And 2. The Rebellion actually managed to get, in some cases, higher levels of tech than the Empire, and regardless of being outnumbered they had the navy advantage heavily with their fighter class ships. In *Army* battles, as in on the land, the Rebellion lost almost every single battle.

[@NCRVeteranRanger]

As the First Order continue their onslaught across the galaxy, the defense of the Galactic Alliance of Free Federations grew ever-more-hopeless. Every passing day, countless planets fell to the merciless conquests of Rey Palpatine's armies. And when Rey finally led an assault on the Galactic Alliance's capital of Coruscant, it seemed as if the spark of hope had finally faded away. But at the peak of the battle, something miraculous happened. A massive armada of Pellaeon-Class Star Destroyer entered out of hyperspace, & out of them poured waves of TIE Predators. Armies of imperial stormtroopers poured out of Nune-Class Imperial Shuttles, & squads of Imperial Knights began mowing down waves of First Order forces. Empress Marasiah Fel, daughter & successor of Emperor Roan Fel, had arrived at the Galactic Alliance's greatest time of need, & with her came the full might of the true Galactic Empire, the Fel Empire. Rey Palpatine: "You dare stand against me, pretender!? I am Rey Palaptine, rightful heir to the TRUE galactic emperor! My father built the Empire from a shattered Galactic Republic, & forged it into the greatest power the galaxy had ever seen! What have you built your pathetic fiefdom on!?" Marasiah Fel: "For ages, the Imperial warlords of old squabbled & bickered over the precious few resources left over from the tatters of your old regime. My dynasty, the Fel Dynasty, took that barren husk of an Empire & forged it into something greater. An empire not driven by fear or oppression, but one driven by hope & unity. My dynasty's empire has stood for more than 100 years, and I will NOT let you or your Sith armies tear down everything me & my predecessors have worked so hard to achieve!" And so the two Empresses charged at each other & engaged in a duel, one that would determine the fate of the entire galaxy.

[@Rocco049]

2:00 to end of song. Vader’s lightsaber ignites, lighting the rebels terrified faces. One man screams “OPEN FIRE!!!!” In a last ditch effort to save themselves, and the mission. The music slams back as the first laser ricochets off of Vader’s blade, a lone glow in a hallway leading to the rebel escape ship. Rebel soldiers cry in pain as their own weapons are reflected back upon them as the black clad *monster* lifts one of their friends to the ceiling. He doesn’t last long as Vader slices him in half with as little care as you would swat a gnat on a countertop. The man closest to the jammed door pounds furiously on the door screaming for help, but nobody hears. Everyone else is more worried with evacuating the crumbling star cruiser while these men are doomed to oblivion. Using the Force, Vader rips the blasters out of the hands of the helpless soldiers, quickly dispatching them. Only two men stand between him and his goal. An evacuating rebel notices the increasingly panicked cries for help and tries to open the door, but it doesn’t budge. The man at the door watches as the final rebel with a weapon is lifted by his throat and thrown his into the wall next to him. Reaching his hand with the Death Star plans through the crack in the door the rebel says “TAKE IT! TAKE IT!!!” The man who helped him grabs the plans and runs as the rebel is run through by Vader’s lightsaber and the door slides open. The few remaining rebels finally take notice of Vader and begin covering the man as he runs, granting him time to reach the docking clamps and bellow a single word: LAUNCH!!! Vader watches as his quarry escapes through the now empty airlock, his rage at being so close building. ‘Well’, he thinks, ‘they won’t get far.’ Video ends on a shot of the Tantive IV escaping.

[@canyonfall1323]

So I was thinking about this, and I came up with sort of a scenario. Starting from the beginning, the backstory is that Palpatine has been vanquished, but Grievous and Dooku are still at large, and plotting the Republic's demise. So at one part, Ahsoka, Obi Wan, and Anakin were following Dooku, when he led them into a room. All 3 of them went in, and Dooku disappeared. Then, the ground opens and all of them start to fall. There is nothing but a drop which leads to lava beneath them. They the opening from where they came from, and try to get back up. But it was way too slippery, so their hands can't grip on. Anakin quickly takes off his glove, grabs on to the floor with his metal arm, and grabs Obi Wan and Ahsoka with his other. He tries hard to hold them both, but realizes his metal arm is slipping. Then, he decides there is no other choice. He summons all his power, uses the force and get Ahsoka and Obi Wan back up, but loses his grip and falls. Obi Wan and Ahsoka fall onto the ledge and immediately shout "NO" and look down. Anakin is nowhere to be seen. The Lava is bubbling. Ahsoka starts crying, and Obi Wan is too shocked to say anything. They both stay there in grief for awhile, and then eventually leave, too sad to continue the mission. They go back to the Twilight, with grief, and are about to leave, when a bolt from a turret hits the Twilight, taking out one of its engines. Obi Wan and Ahsoka run outside, and come face to face with Dooku, Grievous, and a bunch of droids. The ignite their lightsabers, grief struck. Dooku smirks, and says "Where is young Skywalker? I would think that the Chosen One would live a bit longer" Ahsoka yells and rushes at him, while Obi Wan shows signs of anger and runs behind her. Dooku electrocutes Ahsoka and pushes her away, and locks sabers with Obi Wan. Ahsoka recovers and looks at Grievous rushing at her. She quickly gets up, and deflects Grievous's saber and engages with him. Both Obi Wan and Ahsoka are holding their ground, when the droids open fire. Ahsoka and Obi Wan both are pushed back and keep deflecting the droids, while Grievous and Dooku keep taunting them. Then all of a sudden, all the droids are crushed by a giant magnetic thing from the top. Then, this music starts playing. Obi Wan and Ahsoka both look up, looking excited. Dooku turns off his lightsaber, with a shocked expression on his face. Grievous can't sense anything but notices something is wrong with Dooku and decides to look shocked as well. Then, we get a glimpse of smoking black boots and slowly moves up to dark brown battle pants. Then we go back to Ahsoka and Obi Wan, who both also switch off their lightsabers and look surprised again. Then we go back, and see a battle robe, and a lightsaber attached to it and 2 arms, one with tan skin and the other robotic. Then we cut back to Grievous, when he turns off his lightsabers and starts walking towards the entrance slowly. Then we cut back, and see dark brown hair in a part, and a scar coming off an eye. Then, 0:41 plays and we hear the force sound and the lightsaber gets pulled to the hands, ignites, and we see Anakin and he says "How come you started without me?" Then he pushes Grievous and the battle starts again. Looks epic in my head!

“Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet, is insignificant next to the power of the force.” This actually hits a little different when Luke completely tricks the First Order walkers at the end of TLJ

[@seandabest4329]

First order walkers can't destroy a planet, and even then Luke's power in that scene was on a different level to those walkers. By a different level, I mean like how in the TV show Jessica Jones, she and Kilgrave have powers on different levels; she had super strength, he had mind control. They operate on an entirely different set of rules, and so can't be compared.

I love it when there are little clips from movies or shows because the music is timed perfectly with what is going on, for example in particular song the beat just explodes exactly when the lava in the background explodes as well and it just adds to the theatrics elements making something that is already amazing even more amazing. Mad props to you my man.

Epilogue: As The Infamous Darth Vader is within a empty room upon the Star Destroyer he finally lets himself remember his past.. his past as a Jedi.. his past with those who he loved around him.. and he lets himself realize.... that he has a son.. a son who he just recently found out about.... a son who is growing as a powerful individual with the force.... a son.. that he wants in his life. Not just as a apprentice nor as a ally in the empire but as someone who reminds him and tells him that maybe just maybe it is not too late.... The Dark Lord breaths from his Infamous helmet as the breathing echoes throughout the empty room.. his breathing stops.. as he moves his hands slowly towards a rectangular box upon a cabinet.. he wishes he could feel the twitching in his hands as he does within the parts of his body that is still.. human.. Vader opens the box slowly, revealing a Lightsaber that is not his own and one that seems as though it was damaged.. however it could work perfectly fine.. as Vader knew this.. for he built the Lightsaber in secret.. away from the Emperor's eyes and ears.. and within the Lightsaber is a blue Lightsaber crystal.. one that he found and kept to himself after the Jedi purge upon Coruscant. Vader did what modifications he could to the weapon.. and made sure it would fit within his robotic.. non human hands.. the Lightsaber could split in two.. although not like Darth Maul's a dark lord who Vader saw in his past.. in his past as Anakin Skywalker.. a slave who was once a Jedi.. and now a slave again.. being lied to.. being tricked and so on. Vader focused on the Lightsaber in front of him remembering that he could only gather so many materials before the Emperor would take even a small notice to.... the Lightsaber in it's current condition would only last after one battle or two.. splitting in two may let it last longer but that would leave Vader open for attack.... as he slowly grabs the Lightsaber and putting it in his.. cold.. non human hands.. he could feel twitching for just a moment.. underneath all of the cold and robotic parts that make up his body.... Vader then knew for certain.. that he is still that caring boy.. who turned into an even braver man..... as he concealed his new Lightsaber..... he remembers everything from his past.... all within a moment.... and so he breaths again.... and finally says something. ".... My name is.. Anakin Skywalker.. and today with my son.... we shall bring down the empire.."
