When I saw the title for the first time I kinda got a thought about what if Mace Windu turned to the dark side, and Anakin would save him! Btw I liked the short and sweetkind of story you went for today! Nice Video

[@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 Windu kill Palpatine before Anakin arrived getting shown some love. This is definitely an interesting scenario and it should definitely get shown some more love. Plus I think we could all agree that this is one of the best what if’s that us SW fans asked for…plus I think we could agree that this is something we’d hope would happen, since Windu is one of the coolest and most badass Jedi in all of SW. This adds another level of storytelling here. Plus it’s nice that you’re showing one of the GOATs some love, since it was fun to see how Windu and Anakin interact after this. 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

[@Exaris79]

The Republic at least those on Coruscant forgetting the about the Sith is unreal. The Jedi hyperspace navigators likely found Coruscant during the first hyperspace explorations after the fall of the Rakatan Infinite Empire and helped colonized it when there was still soil on its surface. The Sith invaded Coruscant multiple times. If anything it's the Republic that should had left Coruscant instead. There should be statues and monuments about the heroes that liberated Coruscant from the Sith's invasions. If the Republic officials had forgotten about the Sith&Jedi wars especially the Sith's invasion on Coruscant, then those officials shouldn't be on the planet as they lack the proper galactic historical knowledge in the role of the Jedi&Sith on Coruscant. Also if the very uber rich families on Coruscant still has a presence, they'd know that some of their ancestors are Jedi and should had sided with them when they know what the Sith had done every thousands of years. Those families shouldn't tolerate the Sith gaining and staying in power on Coruscant.

What if anakin spirit in the world between worlds saved padme by making her a force ghost or new mother if the ones. She could make him help ben solo and others saying you got to help people who are suffering from your past actions. What if anakin was piloting before attack of the clones and sensed ventress fall to the darkside as her master died and took his ship to the planet to investigate. Perhaps starting a romance as they are very similar in their stories. Also what if ahsoka taught ben skywalker as she saw him as history repeating itself. What if anakin was a jedi watchmen or wayfinder. What if anakin went with kenobi to face maul and savage instead of adi gallia. What if anakin fell in love with luminara or your own version of aayla secura romance. What if oppo rancis trained anakin. What if anakin met and fell in love with ventress just before the clone wars just after her masters death. What if anakin became a jedi sentinel like a watchmen or one of those who find younglings. What if evan piel became a mentor or second master to anakin. Or anakin became a healer either before or after his mother death could be related to his friendship with offee or alternatively what if he was trained by tra sa who taught windu and actually did not forbid attachment as shown by her relationship with tholme , they could become like a pseudo parents to anakin and train him away from the temple in azati martial arts and from trasa the living force as she is a plant lady so imagine anakin controlling plant life.

[@marcusisgod2592]

What if darth vader went to darthomir to learn. New suit or perhaps more unique powers. Resurrect talzin maybe. what if Vokara Che became a mentor to anakin as anakin was being treated for bullying and trauma from being a slave. What if anakin fell in love with luminara unduli, serra keto or bultar swan. What if anakin was taught by agen kolar or sasee tin or adi gallia.

What if Rahm Kota trained Anikin? What if Chewbacca was a jedi?

[@noneyabidness9644]

Though, through stalling, Palpatine assured Windu's victory...I believe he could hold off Windu longer with his lightning. As it would lock Windu in a defensive stance for as long as Palpatine had the energy to do so. So, even though Palpatine had zero chance to beat Windu after Windu fell into vaapad, he COULD stall him, indefinitely. Basically, Skywalker would have to just decide to not come.

[@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.

[@ReconViper1]

Siri has mentioned that Obi Wan and Ferus are very much alike. And maybe Siri's past romance with Obi would make her more understanding of Anakins feelings for Padme.

This went far better than it really could have. I would not have been so sympathetic to Mace, and I do think the clearing of his name would be a bit more involved, but we can call this scenario one hell of a dodged bullet.

[@ScottieMcDowell]

Now this is how the Revenge of the sith was Supposed to happen, by first killing off all the sith before order 66 was to ever be discovered and then carried out without any further destruction of the Jedi Order and stop all the Jedi purge madness in the first place. I would rather settle for that ending altogether even if it means sacrificing the rest of the sequels altogether. And I do not have any reason to believe that I am not the only one either.

Short, but very good. I don't know if I suggested this on your platform or another what if platform, yet I still think it would be exciting to hear a story about Reva being trained by Obi-Wan, after she realized she could kill Luke. What impact would that have on the Rebellion and Civil War to have a Jedi trained Reva and an emerging Luke and Leia as the story enters "A New Hope"?

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.

I see 2 potential issues. First, I think Sidious had Mace beaten but delayed the fight to provoke Anakin. I can imagine a situation where Anakin delays or Mace just kills him and doesn't dialog about his intent so it doesn't affect the story past that point. The main issue I think is Palpatine would have had some contingency plan where Order 66 would still be activated. I almost imagine what would happen would be Anakin killing Windu after he kills Sidious, still falls but doesn't have Palpatine's connections to make a coup happen so he goes off like Maul to gather power to eventually try to become emperor. Maybe Maul becomes his apprentice, maybe Ahsoka gets turned. Maybe Luke and Leia are the first graduates of the new Sith academy.
