Hey guys, I haven't played the old republic games but only read all the books so I don't think I've gone in depth as I could have. I will be playing both KOTOR in November, and do a remake of this video. Let me know what you would like to see in that!

[@superjones732]

I would like the remake version of this video

[@jacoblewis2475]

you should also play the online star wars game. it has a lot of lore and is a good game. maybe you can start a guild with your supporters. I'd join up with ya.

What If Obi Wan died during the Clone Wars

[@thelanceshipment]

We need a longer video, this was too short for the amount of story that can come from this!!!

[@lordxetsuki9881]

Thank you for making this what if 🙏❤️

[@jacoblewis2475]

I would like to see a light side version of this. Darth Vader of course takes over the galaxy, with a master like that. I think you could do a lot more if he were discovered and trained by the jedi.

[@FantasyFolklore]

Yes that’s also definitely a possibility, I wanted to imagine him as an ancient Sith as we have already seen him as a Jedi

[@jacoblewis2475]

I also think that what if padme had a jedi or sith brother would be an interesting one to do. I have idea just not the creativity to pull it off.

[@jrrslingshot1418]

I think it would be a good video

[@captaincharismatic289]

I was also thinking that.

[@hassanmasood186]

Vader would’ve killed all the other Sith Lords around that time. The Sith are known for killing each other after gaining so much power. That’s why the rule of 2 exists.

[@cadeshanley218]

I like that Darth Malgus, the Darth Vader of the Old Republic is basically the Sith Obi-Wan Kenobi to Anakin in this timeline.

[@FantasyFolklore]

You got it!

[@cadeshanley218]

@@FantasyFolklore Wasn't that hard to make the connections.

[@Angelo-nd4lg]

@@FantasyFolklore you should not make the fight on alderaan an L for malgus just to boost anakin cuz anikin would just help malgus win the fight he was winning before he was ambushed by a kamakaze guy but i think satele being a romantic interest for anikin would be interesting especially if you mirror anikin failing to eliminate his weakness to love vs his master who does it also anikin has to be an outcast in the sith academy in order to give him that relatability and genuine brotherhood with malgus who was also an outcast among his peers but gg though didnt like the ending very bland

[@talonstride]

Dude, this is one badass story compared to the other stories out there. This is probably one of my favorite AUs of all time.

[@FantasyFolklore]

Thanks :)

[@dukcaa]

@@FantasyFolklore hi again, what if Palpatine killed Ray and Ben?

[@douglasowen3813]

[@Sleetii]

@@dukcaa What if palpatine erased that whole trilogy

@@Sleetii hmm? What do you mean by that? Please more detail. Also hi

[@KingErnst16]

this story is better than the last 3 movies BY FAR

[@lucabestea6844]

This is exactly, why Malgus is one of my favourites. He knew the right way to empower the Sith, unfortunately, he usually talked to the blind.

[@carlaeliseblanquisco3556]

I like Anakins costume from thumbnail

[@hamstey1603]

As others have said, it would be interesting for an alternative story consisting of the Old Republic Jedi finding Anakin instead of the Sith.

[@FantasyFolklore]

It will be done for sure

[@hamstey1603]

@@FantasyFolklore That sounds great! Can't wait for it

[@TheDoggoTamer]

finally I’ve been waiting for this kind of fan fiction that you Fantasy Folklore.

[@FantasyFolklore]

Hope you enjoy!

[@wizardwolf1020]

Also personally, I feel Anakin would’ve betrayed Malgus and killed him at some point, it’s just how the Sith do things. Also, it’d be crazy to see a version of this with Palpatine. Palpatine would’ve been literally unstoppable if he had access to the Old Republic era Sith knowledge and no Sith could’ve stood against him

[@reclicc]

vitiate would have won, only anakin would be able to kill vitiate

[@TheUncivilizedNation]

The Old Republic Sith don’t turn on each other if it doesn’t benefit them or if they won’t enjoy it. Anakin would have no reason to kill Malgus. As the Sith’Ari the act wouldn’t give him any more power. I’d be a waste of his time to go through with it

[@chadfox6030]

What if Anakin couldn’t get into the Jedi temple during order 66??? 🤔

[@xxthexboxnoobxx4174]

What if Anakin was the clone donor

[@FantasyFolklore]

Hmm interesting

[@icarusflys6856]

I dont think he could be as a force sensitive. It took years for Palpatine to figure out how to successfully clone Star killer and even then it wasnt perfect. Doing this on the scale of millions would be neigh impossible id imagine. Would be really cool if it worked though!

An interesting story could be "What if Revan woke up from stasis during the prequels"

[@ronindeathx8051]

That's gg right there for whoever is against him

[@themasteroflaughter2458]

This is very great and very exciting and very interesting and very nicely well done 👍 Next, you should do “What if Anakin Skywalker never had his nightmares of Padme Amidala dying in childbirth (even where it includes Palpatine trying to tempt Anakin Skywalker with the power to save Padme, but then Anakin Skywalker says “Save Padme from what?”, which makes Palpatine realize that he failed to do what he was originally going to do, and so then Anakin Skywalker does not turn to the Dark Side)”.

[@GothReaper616]

That was amazing! Great work! I would like to see a "What if Anakin lived during the Mandalorian wars!" Would he had joined Revan? Would he had fallen? Or understood Revans true intentions? And would Meetra Suurik might had be a love interresst for Anakin? So many ideas! And...befor i forgett...when do you plan a part 2 for "What if padme was a Sith lord"?

[@vetarlittorf1807]

Meetra doesn't strike me as a girlfriend material. She feels like a "married to my job" kind of woman. And she grew to be pretty cold during her exile.

[@GothReaper616]

@@vetarlittorf1807 things can change. And i would love the idea(pure headcanon of course,) of her secrerly having feelings for Revan. But in the end, thats the nice thing about fanfic or what ifs. You CAN change things.

What if Anakin had been born the same time as Palpatin? What if Plagues took both as apprentices. Trained them in secret from one another until the moment was right to put them against one another. Both in their prime both unspoiled by injury both ready to be the next lord of the Sith!

You should do another version of this, where Anakin was found by the Jedi instead of the Sith. Basically, insert Anakin as the main character of the Jedi Knight storyline. I would reccomend watching some playthroughs of the Jedi Knight storyline to know the story.

[@FantasyFolklore]

Yup I chose Sith, so might play again

[@hakimhunt9533]

I'm still waiting on a part 2. This is a good story

[@liamdacre1818]

Anakin had the potential to be twice as powerful as Darth Sidious so his power would be unrivalled even against Darth Vitiate. Anakin’s pride and arrogance might get the better of him just like in Revenge of the Sith but with a teacher like Malgus it’s likely that he would learn to control it

[@greengeek562]

Anakin was like "Nah, homie! Round 2!" *revive*

[@harrisonbirmingham4871]

incredible story🔥

[@FantasyFolklore]

Thanks mate

[@Mephilis78]

The only thing I would change is I would have be discovered by the Jedi first, would become a Knight, and then turn. Possibly after facing Malgus in battle multiple times. By the time he finally joins the Sith, he's famous throughout the republic as a war hero, and infamous throughout the empire as one of the strongest Jedi. Malgus eventually turns him, then comenses the rest of your story. As a side note: I think Windu would have become a Sith in the Old Republic era too. Possibly even Qui-Gon.

[@helmutyann5305]

Very very cool Video but could you also do a "Light side" version of What if Anakin Skywalker was Born in the Old Republic?

[@FantasyFolklore]

Will do for sure

[@angrymonkey78]

This was awesome because if Anakin reached his true potential he would have no rival in the galaxy.

[@TheVocalTune]

He would be such as massive threat that a party of Heroic OC's would have to intervene to oppose him.

[@danielharman572]

I would be keen to watch a light side version of this video. Perhaps it could be made into a series of videos based on this what if.

[@TheMovieDoctorful]

My favorite Star Wars character (Anakin) mentored by my 3rd favorite Star Wars character is exactly what I needed. I wonder how Padme would fit into this timeline. I imagine her being an Imperial Moff that Malgus tries to kill to push Anakin into the perfect Sith. This is the wedge that drives trusted master and apprentice apart.

[@darthjader77]

I killed Emperor vitiate now I am the emperor of the Sith Empire

[@semihyonet4276]

Sometimes you wake up and just 2:47

[@kaldrogon4834]

i feel like the jedi would have found anakin if he was born in the high republic and his training would have been allowed much easier than in the clone wars anakin would have even become a master before he reach his 20

[@woodclear5606]

Nice.... I'd often thought up a scenario in my own mind called "what if Malgus was a Jedi instead of a Sith, I had even made a toon on the game of SWTOR called "Malguslight" pretty cool once you think of it

[@BansheeKing22]

Honestly this has more potential and makes more sense than the fate anakin originally had. The jedi and their whole suppressing emotions and essentially acting droid like is such a major flaw that its no wonder anakin had so many issues with them. Anakin would truly have been better off being sith from the start and being born during the old republic era. He had so much potential that was squandered on the the prequel and original trilogies.

[@aedenali5985]

Who were the guests that a bromance between the chosen one and the false emperor would be so wholesome

[@user-xn9ob7wx5u]

What if Anakin was trained by and reawakened the Eternal Alliance commanders and personal?

[@calebcapozzi7220]

Do a “what if Anakin was trained by Darth Revan”

[@wizardwolf1020]

I would love a Jedi version of this as well as one where Anakin became a grey Jedi or was trained by Revan at some point

[@apollyonkatastrefia1586]

Anakin Skywalker was born in the old republic, though they simply called it the Republic. It wasn't until the formation of the New Republic that it became the ruling body before the empire became known as the Old Republic. What if Anakin was born 4,000 years before the fall of the Old Republic or born before the Ruusan reformations ?

[@togucvinw7]

Amazing story bro 😎 also loved the fact you kept Anakin and Malgus bromance going till the end instead of Malgus growing jealous of Anakin power (also purple lightsaber Vader for the win 😈) As for other ideas , how about what if Anakin had a twin brother/sister ? We could see the concept of force dyad of the new movies mixed into this : two chosen one , one for the Sith and one for the Jedi

[@FantasyFolklore]

Love the force dyad, that's an interesting idea. I explored the force dyad in my "What If the Grand Inquisitor Found Obi Wan Kenobi on Tatooine?"

[@justinperry8445]

If full potential Anakin and Revan were the two sith lords everyone would be fucked

[@Slicksloth28]

This is a badass story this is the typa shit I like

[@aaronhenderson84]

i like what you did here, its not perfect but it is interesting. I don't really think Anakin could have defeated Valkorian 1 on 1 though considering how many people on both sides had to join forces to defeat him in the SWTOR story (since arcann was mentioned i assume you were using valkorian in the story since vitiate never met him before transferring to valkorian's body). maybe in valkorian's previous form as vitiate this more powerful version of anakin could have defeated him, before vitiate increased in power and transferred to valkorian's form. i say this because there's a pretty big gap between valkorian's power and the next most powerful character in SW (which most consider sidious to be in the #2 spot)... (of course this more powerful version of anakin still would probably have been able to defeat sidious, considering he did so as vader even if he wasn't exactly at full strength).

[@markdurl8341]

can you a light side version of this? have anakin found by someone like orgus din or satele shan?

[@-Mitth_Raw_Nuruodo-]
