It’s beyond me that Disney hasn’t done a what if series for star wars. There are so many more potential scenarios that they could have handled than they could ever with the MCU. A Star Wars What If series could easily run 7 to 10 seasons as there are endless potential episodes and any alternate revenge of the sith scenarios are fascinating to me as this movie specifically changed the landscape of the entire star wars galaxy so much.

Even though I am strongly Team Marvel instead of Star Wars, I couldnt agree more. No one ever asked what happened if T'CHalla became Star Lord and nobody really cared about what happened if a zombie apocalypse had broken out. Star Wars on the other hand would be so fucking great to see. Like you said 7 to 10 seasons EASILY. What if vader didn't burn, what if he killed Palpatine, what if Maul won in the beginning, what if Obi Wan teamed up with Dooku? And I'm not even creative here

I always thought that had Vader not burned, he would have been far more dangerous, not because of his Force powers, but because of his look. A Vader with Anakin's face and heroics behind him would wield far more political power than the masked enforcer that we saw in the main timeline. Plus, Anakin could be both sneaky and charming when he wished, as we saw several times in the Clone Wars, a Darth Vader with charm and subtlety would have been a far more lethal version, because he would not need fear alone to sway others to his cause.
@maximusaralieous17283 жыл бұрын
Yes I agree. I read this years ago on a forum about alternative time lines. One user gave his interaction with Leia as an example. Instead of bringing her directly to a torture room, unburned Vader would likely use his charms and cunning to try and get information from her, maybe touring the Death Star and what not more like a dark prince than a brutal enforcer. I also feel like Vader would not be as hateful or self loathing had he not been burned. Canon Vader is always in a state of suffering due to the suit, Vader harnesses this pain to fall deeper into the Dark Side, becoming detached from his humanity and therefore hating himself more. I feel like unburned Vader would probably be a bit more like Count Dooku in the sense that he would dress well and use his good looks to charm and disarm people while being monstrously powerful. They always show Darkside users as being decayed and sickly, but if we want to get a little mythical with Anakin being the chosen one, they say Lucifer is beautiful after all.

It's stuff like this that just makes me annoyed that the force can seeminly do everything and nothing. You're talking about how Obi-Wan didn't have time to run down there and finish Anakin off, but why can't he just real quickly force push him into the lava or smth? Or even pull anakin up to him if he doesn't want to kill him via lava and thinks it'd be more humane to finish it with a lightsaber? I mean come on, he had ample time for a quick force push lol, he had time to yell at him and pick up the lightsaber after all. I think the only real explanation is that he didn't have the heart to finish off his friend and brother, and instead convinced himself that what he did was ok because he believed that it was the fire that killed Anakin, not himself. Just as a bit of self-assurance. Ultimately, this selfish act led to one of the greatest forces of evil the galaxy had ever known. How it be.

If Anakin hadn't burned, and I'd concur on this fan fiction up to a point, down to where he kills the emperor and becomes emperor himself. Another thing, without being burned, he'd have the "clairvoyance enough" that the burns and the suit limit him, to sense his children are alive. Also after killing the emperor, he wouldn't be so dark, maybe gray, so I think once he finds out, he'd find them and rule the galaxy together as father and children and maybe there'd be peace in the galaxy.

@davidmarrero96082 жыл бұрын
In legends (the original extended universe) the armor was very heavy, ill fitted, he would receive radio feedback from near by ships so he would hear a lot of sounds constantly. His skin would crack off and had to be applied artificial skin every so often and like sidious planned he didn't give him the best armor due to having him be punished to be constantly reminded of his lost of Padam and keep him on a leash to control him better as well strength his connection to the dark side. There were "attempt s" at Vader trying to upgrade his suit but the process would be too difficult for him how badly damaged his body was and to even transfer his body to a new suit would kill him. Which is why he never tried to do it since there would be no point to do that
