Vader: Your mother never told you what happened to your brother? Anakin: She told me enough... he died during childbirth. Vader: No, I am your brother. Anakin: No... that's not true, that's impossible!

In an alternate timeline... Vader: Anakin, I am your brother. Anakin: No... that's not true, that's impossible!

[@RyanTheDark]

The thing is Darth Plagueis would have felt the vergence of the Dark Side and likely would have been the one who'd raised the evil twin i.e Vader. Sidious finding him makes sense for sure but I'm pretty sure that it would have been Plagueis who found him.

[@ASAPDIDDLER]

that makes more sense than palpatine finding him

[@TheUncivilizedNation]

I feel like Vader being raised on korriban is the deciding factor here since Vader can’t be sensed over the darkness of the planet. If Sidious found him first and brought him there then the video can play out as it did

[@MrBarnettcm]

I’ve dreamed of the darkness for nights on end and celebrated the coming of said darkness adorned in sith regalia …the prophecy is indeed true. Through suffering my chains are broken and with darkness I live staunchly

That Anakin-Vader Mustafar duel is the greatest lightsaber duel I've ever seen.

[@cherrytonshawty9120]

Ah yes... The Sith'Ari. The legend of the Dark Chosen One. A very nice piece of more obscure Starwars lore.

[@jordanelza8806]

This is a very interesting way to look at things. It’s like Anakin and Vader were like the Brother and Sister from Clone Wars that balanced the light and dark. 12:50 to 13:40 As this shows (like many other what-if scenarios) only together do the light and dark balance the Force, and therefore, life itself. 14:38 to 14:55 Anakin and Vader’s “Imperial Knights” were very similar to the ancient Ja-Daii Order, which taught the students to balance their light and dark sides and abilities. Anakin and Vader are (borderline) different personalities in canon. I know they’re the same person, but as Vader he’s selfish and a heartless killer, while he feels remorse and wants to do what is right as Anakin. So in a weird way, Anakin and Vader are different people.

[@astephens3600]

I was literally thinking about how Anakin and Darth Vader's New Order were very similar to the "Je'daii" of old.

[@talon532]

Essentially, Vader is a psychopath *because* he feels remorse.

[@ericcrabtree7075]

Vader - no Luke I am your uncle Anakin - 🤣

[@simkani3294]

Uncle Vader 😂

[@nicolasrage666]

I cheered at this one. Anakin and Vader creating the Imperial Knights was an excellent twist. If Marvel can create a "What If..." series, Star Wars needs one as well. These alternate stories are fantastic.

[@FantasyFolklore]

That would be so cool

[@Kanefan701]

I too felt happy of the idea of the Imperial Knights. I didn't see this coming and it left a surprise and overjoyed impression on me.

[@gustofwinds]

Video idea: what if Anakin went back to the high republic via time travel or something

[@eidoneverchoosen1171]

In a way anakin and Darth vader both are the choosen ones meant to bring absolute balance to the force. As both of them would balance each other in the light and dark sides of the force, and bring balance between the jedi and the sith as both anakin and Darth vader can keep in check both the jedi and the sith. And in a way both being brothers balance each other out.

[@FantasyFolklore]

Yeah that’s what I was trying to convey with them being the only two left at the end. Light and dark.

[@eidoneverchoosen1171]

​​@@FantasyFolkloreAnd I love especially how in the end the jei order and the sith are merged into the imperial knights in a way this brings an end to the long feud between the light and dark

[@karenflowers8679]

[@fiddlerfinskysaccount411]

To bring balance is to destroy the sith. Even Obi-Wan makes it clear in RoTS

[@gtmike916]

@@fiddlerfinskysaccount411hen by that technicality the Jedi would be destroyed too since they too much far favor the light and actually don’t favor the will of the force. Both Qui-Gon and Luke Skywalker determined that the force belongs to no single entity or group.

[@BilalMarcus]

this would make a great alternate universe star wars to explore.

[@rayhantasmaya3460]

The ending was too idealistic for me. I’d rather have the two brothers go there separate ways with the goal of improving both the republic and the empire to the point that they can reach peaceful co-existence. They’d still fight each other for awhile, but their hope would be strong enough to reach that dream

[@Kanefan701]

I think that might be the case but in the end Vader and Anakin as you said do over time slowly but surely reach a peaceful co-existence and the dream is reached, thus turned into a reality.

[@eu8028]

fantasy folkore's channel is something incredible, like a What If Star Wars sereis that we never got, binge watching right now, love all the vids and voice impressions man

[@FantasyFolklore]

I appreciate it

[@CoolNameThing]

I just noticed that Anakin's right hand isn't cybernetic in the thumbnail.

[@NetherCrafterSMC]

Would be interesting to see Vader and Anakin both were trained as Jedi first before Anakin's brother would fall to the dark side while Anakin feeling a calling through the force after Order 66 and would travel to Atollan to learn from the Bendu

[@syndrac6254]

Interesting, because in this reality, Anakin never sees the nightmares of his mom and Padme dying. Which would lead to him not necessarily seeking power. He'd probably still kill the tusken raiders but he never fully commits to the dark side. Leading to the Jedi trusting him and giving him the rank of Master even though his apprentice never became a Jedi Knight.

[@chilogutierrez8760]

This is an ending for for anakin! It’s awesome. It feel like the best outcome for the galaxy. The Jedi and sith both go extinct…. And a new entity is born forged of both

Exactly

@@FantasyFolklore hi again, General

[@NateGeneration1Nano]

Kreia, also known as Darth Traya, was a character in the video game "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords." She had a complex and nuanced view of the Force that differed from both the Jedi and the Sith. Kreia believed that the Light side of the Force was not inherently good, and that the Jedi's strict adherence to its teachings had blinded them to its true nature. She saw the Jedi Code as limiting and believed that it prevented its adherents from fully understanding the Force. In Kreia's view, the Light side of the Force was focused on selflessness and detachment, which she saw as a weakness. She believed that the Jedi's emphasis on selflessness made them vulnerable to manipulation by those who sought to exploit their altruistic tendencies. Kreia also believed that the Light side's focus on peace and tranquility was misguided, and that true understanding of the Force required embracing all aspects of it, including the darker aspects. Overall, Kreia's view of the Light side of the Force was complex and critical, reflecting her belief that both the Jedi and the Sith were flawed in their understanding of the Force. Kreia also had a complex view of the Dark side of the Force that differed from the Sith's traditional view. Kreia believed that the Dark side of the Force was not inherently evil, but rather a tool that could be used for good or evil depending on the intention of the user. She saw the Sith's embrace of the Dark side as a means of gaining power and control, but ultimately believed that it led to their downfall. In Kreia's view, the Dark side of the Force was focused on passion, emotion, and individuality, which she saw as strengths. She believed that the Sith's emphasis on these aspects of the Force gave them an advantage over the Jedi, who were often too detached and unemotional to fully understand the Force. However, Kreia also believed that the Dark side's focus on power and control was ultimately self-destructive, as it led its users to become consumed by their own ambition and desires. She believed that the true path to understanding the Force lay in finding a balance between the Light and Dark sides, rather than embracing one over the other. Overall, Kreia's view of the Dark side of the Force was complex and critical, reflecting her belief that both the Jedi and the Sith were flawed in their understanding of the Force, and that the true path to understanding lay in finding a balance between the Light and Dark sides.

[@Kanefan701]

As fan and friend, this What if out of all the ones you've done over the series is by far the greatest and one that holds a special place in my life as a fan of Vader and Anakin. The idea of them being brothers and being two different people and how this story came together and in such depth you put into this struck a cord with me. The scene where the two learn of this and teaming up was bit teary eyed for me but knowing that Vader and Anakin being both the chosen ones to bring balance to the force was the best thing and I honestly would like to think that if it were to ever happen, this would go down as perhaps the great Star Wars What If film if ever made and it's inspired me a lot. I know I said about your What if Vader turned back early in that one fan fic you did was super well done but this one with Anakin and Vader being two different people and being twin brothers of two different sides of the force but united for the same thing took this to a whole new level and why this ranks at the top of my fave what ifs you've ever done that as left a super positive mark in the community. Well done.

[@Kanefan701]

I really believe if this was done again but in like an audio drama type a great story of the use of the voice actors you've used before would make this really awesome as you had done with the story of what if Vader went back in time to save Padme.

[@princecharming8125]

Darth Zion in alternate universe as Sidious master: " My mentor was Plagus, I finished him because he was stupid a shame. Sidious, there is no light nor dark side of the force there's only the force. Both sides of the force light and dark is an extension of our positive and negative emotions, a true Sith can use both sides of the forces flawlessly, I can even use Sith lightning without damaging my hands, I can use the dark side without losing my natural looks, I can cause both sides of the force to smile at me without turning against me. Power and control Sidious is pointless, your sense of humanity and logical thinking is what matters, that's what it means to be a living being, not destroying others for your own gain. If someone fall they fall by themselves."

What if Palpatine and Darth Sidious (Sheev) were two separate people? (example: Palpatine is a name of state, his true name is Cos Dashit. He's a weak-willed dullard with delusions of grandeur who had been elevated to Chancellor by Sidious. After Sidious's death following the end of the Clone Wars, he possess/manipulate Palpatine into becoming Emperor and eliminate the Jedi)

Plot whole: Palpatine doesnt recognize they are brothers even thought they are twins and Anakin is a well known hero. In all these years he doesn't know what Vader looks like? No curiosity over the fact that both of them are from Tatooine and around the same age? Two powerful vergences in the force, from the same place at the same time, around the same height but nothing? That's like throwing on a pair of glasses and tricking people into thinking you are a newspaper reporter from Kansas instead of a powerful alien who can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
