What If Darth Maul BECAME The Emperor

Darth Maul was outcast from the Sith, his criminal empire, and his planet throughout his life. What if Darth Maul Became the Emperor of the Galactic Empire? How would he ascend to such a role? Would he be able to defeat Sidious in a contest of the blade or through another means? When Maul became Emperor how would he fair as such a leader? Would he find success or once again find failure?

What if Palpatine *didn't know* he was Sidious? As in, what if Sidious was a split personality that Palpatine was unaware of?

A nice twist would be "what if Sidious also didn't know he was Palpatine as the darkside messed with his features?

[@Dudewithguns-ww7wc]

Honestly, Maul and Vader becoming partners or even ”friends“ is something that I very much want to see on the big screen. Probably the two most tragic characters in Star Wars finally having someone to confide in with similar tragic losses due to this one being

[@alexfischer7876]

Perhaps in a hypothetical "What If?" kind of series. Assuming if Disney relinquishes control of _Star Wars_ property, that is.

[@Achuidian179]

So Maul’s idea of an Empire was to take it from his master’s grip and use it for his own with Vader as his new partner?! Guess Maul got his well deserved revenge!!

[@ChristianGibbons777]

And True Friend in Anakin Vader💙💚♥️🖤👏😎 Maybe Anakin becomes a Force Ghost and guides Maul through his endeavours??

[@blarg987665]

Loved the Maul centric episode. What if Maul during the phatom menace took Anakin Skywalker as his aprentice but left the sith behind.

[@soularprimestudios5930]

As a Maul fan I loved this especially when he teams up with Vader.

[@yellomellow9481]

​@@ChristianGibbons777We should petition to have Pente patrol in the works of the what if series and a few other REAL star wars nerds. The real nerds like us could actually turn the tide of production.

[@PentePatrolStarWars]

I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@spencerasakura542]

1. What if Anakin was given two padawans to train, both Ahsoka tano and Galen Marek? 2. What if Ahsoka and Starkiller crossed paths during the reign of the empire? Crossover idea: What if Captain Price and task force 141 from call of duty were the ones selected to be donors for the clone troopers and were in charge of their training?

[@socialaccount0000]

1. Depends, if they're given at the same time, they'd likely compete for Anakin's favor and attention. Im honestly not sure if Galan would side with Barris or help Ashoka, he is more attuned to the dark side than he is light... 2. If its Legends Starkiller, he whoops Ashoka's ass, easily. If its some canon, Inquisitor Starkiller, he'd probably just replace Grand Inquisitor at some point but eventually be forgotten/disposed of by Vader after his purpose was served

[@Voltar_99]

@@socialaccount0000didn’t legends starkiller turn Luke to the dark side with a single fight and force pull a star destroyer? And probably a lot more in forgetting about? (Pls remind me)

[@soularprimestudios5930]

They would have to be given at the same time to Anakin let's say no body wanted Galen and Anakin saw himself in the boy and Yoda reluctant let Anakin also take Galen?

[@wardogman2.087]

14:25 i had to rewind to here to listen again. You made it sound like Maul had the lightsaber through his chest. I was so confused when it then went to Maul holding Vader, i was like "why is Sidious allowing Maul to do that?" 😂

[@masscreationbroadcasts]

He has become... A RIVAL! A victorious rival it seems.

[@christopherwyatt9754]

This is a surprise but a welcome one.

[@JosephHoven-wy5te]

Maul is the most tragic character already.

[@jonathanshort3724]

This doesn't really feel like a dark ending he did make the galaxy a better place

[@henrykkeszenowicz4664]

Basically good ending but authoritarian. He built a successful empire instead of selfish toy tailored for one ruler with no succession.

[@heavyarms55]

Which is a big part of why this story doesn't work. What Maul does here isn't how a dark side user acts.

[@ZsoronZ]

@@heavyarms55 Dark side users aren't just 1 note clones, but different people. The dark side = egoism, yes, but even egoism can coexist with the act of making things better around you.

[@yellomellow9481]

​@@ZsoronZSimilar to dooku although he wasnt completely consumed by it. But Maul did have ego issues with power and rule, not to mention he slaughtered innocents during his earlier years.

[@heavyarms55]

@@ZsoronZ No, it really can't. The dark side is inherently selfish. The only good that could come from it is "enemy of my enemy" stuff. Unless Disney Canon has decided even evil isn't actually evil...

"They needed to marinate Sidious" Yum, senate-flavoured

[@coolbbanner7523]

Two things. 1st, this one, ( Darth Maul ) ( Emperor ) was one of your best one yet in my opinion. What ( Emperor Maul ) did was instead of the people and the military/navy fearing and Disliking him, he had them loving and respecting him. The story was straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Keep doing your thing . 2nd, what if Asajj Ventress killed obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, when she had them lifted in the air, choking them, in the hanger bay of her ship in the battle of solace, clone wars. Once again keeping doing your thing.

[@christianbryan6961]

Must say, that second idea is very possible and pretty good. It would pretty much be Palpatine’s own fault too, being that he ordered Dooku to destroy her while she was in the middle of fighting them. Dooku’s betrayal gave her the anger she would need, and of course Dooku ordered the other CIS ships to destroy the one Anakin, Obi-wan, and Ventress were all in. Explosions and shots and chaos. Ventress still probably ends up going to Dathomir I imagine, and Dooku and Sidious believe all 3 of them died. Palpatine is very displeased/upset. Dooku probably still gets Savage as a student to replace Ventress. Maybe he gets more time to train him? Or even less, considering Palpatine may just call the war done early since he doesn’t have to manipulate Anakin anymore.

[@coolbbanner7523]

Now that sounds pretty good, but I truly doubt Palpatine would end the war early though. But pretty solid idea for a story. 👍

[@ColonelBragg]

Kind of sad Maul lost another brother in Vader

[@jiltedensign7479]

What if Luke Skywalker had a secret son? What if Ahsoka used the world between worlds to try and stop Anakin from turning to the dark side? What if Shmi Skywalker had a brother? What if Leia was sent to Naboo to live with Padme’s family just like Luke was sent to live with Owen and Beru? What if Darth Bane turned the Sith into the Star Wars equivalent of the Illuminati instead of creating the rule of two?

What if darth vader went to darthomir to learn. New suit or perhaps more unique powers.

what if palpatine told the senate he was sidious when he was elected (not illegal by the time of the prequels) what if anakin used force lightning in various moments throughout the clone wars what if palpatine sensed vadar’s betrayal in return of the jedi what if gungi stayed with the bad batch what if caleb joined the bad batch when his master died what if caleb survived the fire on lothal what if anakin blocked windu’s strike instead of cutting off his hand what if ahsoka got to coruscant with maul before mace windu left for the chancellors office what if Ezra found luke instead of obi wan on Tatooine

[@nerdwatch1017]

What if mother Talzin had found maul A couple years before the clone wars started fixed him and improved him with her magic. Then wanting his revenge Maul gathers all his brothers to become the new Sith order. Getting the upgraded just like Savage then trained by Maul in the force and dark side along with the witches magics. It’s now 2 years before the clone wars begins and Lord Maul now has a badass army of 200 Sith warriors that have trained to work together like a brotherhood. As well as when they got upgraded Mother Talzin implanted them with a will to never betray there brother/Lord Maul. Then when the war breaks out this army secretly go around the galaxy getting in good positions of power in the many crime syndicates before moving to take them over. Gaining a vast wealth of credits ships weapons and soldiers Lord Maul continued to wait until just right timing which is the night order 66 happens. Also after getting super strong in the force and upgraded with magics enhancing there bodies. Eventually the men starting getting together with the witches getting some pregnant with super strong force sensitive badies

What if Padme Amidala had been discovered and trained by Anakin to be force sensitive during the Clone Wars? 6.What if Darth Momin killed Darth Vader? 7. What if Anakin had not gone to save Palpatine but Palpatine had killed Mace Windu? 8.What if there was Tom and Jerry(Cartoon Characters) in the Star Wars universe? 9.What if Padme Amidala started thinking just like Anakin as a result of the clone wars (good things about the Empire). 10.What if Bugs Bunny and other cute heroes were in the Star Wars universe?

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 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.
