*What if Anakin was born in the unknown region*

[@Arktrooperfives403]

What if Palpatine discovered he was a fictional character and broke free into the real world and when windu came to kill him he found the portal to the real world and you can come up with some story after that with militaries. It would be cool if palpatine would come and kill you as soon as he comes through the portal and you have a reaction and a new voice actor would come. You would be more scared the more palpatine discovered

Thank you star wars Galaxy! You're just as good as PPSW theory, and the other what if channels I'm subbed to. That's why u got my sub, cause u r amazing at story telling

There's this weird yet awfully wholesome thing when Sith Masters become proud of their students before they die and their students become the masters

[@dragonlord498]

Also in the old Republic era their was much much less conflict between master and apprentices usually. often being actual family or having a similar relationship Then that incarnation of the sith got destroyed and succeeded by the brotherhood and then bane which only had the bad parts of the sith

[@xXS4mCr091Xx]

Sith are killing each other since the beginning maybe this is why Bane came up with "the rule of two" so Sith Masters won´t get jumped by 6 apprentices at the same time xD But this "the learner becomes the master" thing is why they´re full fledged warriors who live for battle and power alone. The old Jedi must´ve been the same since they almost drove them to extinction.

[@dragonlord498]

@@xXS4mCr091Xx bane actually made things worse given in the old republic they were expected to follow certain rules if two or more sith were going to fight one another such as various type of ritualistic combats the ro2 had no such rules and they it was 100% expected for a master to kill the apprentice or vice versa in the ro2. and the ro2 apprentice still typically used trickery and attacking them at their weakest to kill their masters. while the masters always withheld a good portion of their knowledge and resources. and the sith of old they weren't just a small cult they were a full culture and even species. so the infighting was greatly exaggerated what really brought them down wasn't infighting but every other faction tended to focus aggression at the sith empire given least during that time period they were pretty much the galactic punching bag.

[@eeurr1306]

@@dragonlord498 As you can see the rule of two made the sith mastermind manipulators, which worked out exceedingly well.

[@dragonlord498]

@@eeurr1306 not really sure they took power but that lasted only a couple decades what took them about 1000 years to achieve where each of the previous incarnations tended to last much longer minimum centuries if not thousands of years and even after ro2 took control they had to hide their real identities still

This is how Darth Sidious SHOULD have interacted with Darth Vader. As things are depicted now in the comics, it’s amazing that Emperor Palpatine was able to accomplish ANYTHING given such a badly undermined and sabotaged apprentice.

[@evripidisalexiou6060]

In legends the emperor did not treat vader like dirt 24/7. He did not go do such lengths per set but he at least put a modicum of an effort to the whole master-apprentice thing

What if _both_ Anakin _and_ Padme had nightmares of Padme's maternal death?

[@Eric6761]

That's creative

[@VitaminDealer]

Baller idea

[@Tevi_L7151]

It will be more interesting if Padmé has nightmares about Anakin being wounded on Mustafar and his suit

[@krispalermo8133]

First off, in ESB it shown Luke & Leia had an emotional/mental bond. Later shown during RotJ. In the RPG, Force Users( FU)/sensitives had Empathy & Telepathic abilities, along with Battle Mind where FU mental link up to dog pack their actions. Maul took some major mental trauma Feeling his Brother death. Then when his mother gave her life to buy time for Maul to escape from Palpatine & Dooku. When Anakin was in burning pain & abandonment, he reached out to the woman he loves, Anakin drag Padme down into death. Then the respirator turn on. So Anakin sleeping next to Padme, yeah they would share dream states and nightmares.

[@VTsiFanfic]

I can just imagine when Vader gets killed after training the next Sith, Sidious says "that's my boy!"

[@angrybirdsandwich2334]

I feel like vader wouldn't kill sidious. Vader wasn't ever like the Sith. He only killed him because of sidious betraying and basically manipulating and torturing him for decades. I honestly think this would end with them staying in power.

[@RatchetAndClank14]

What if the Jedi believed the Sith had returned in The Phantom Menace?

[@BigSteve9713]

Then it's all over for Sheev - Supposedly the only thing keeping Dooku as a light sided Jedi is Jinn living SO If more Jedi went with him and Kenobi too fight Maul, potentially capturing him if not outright killed. Dooku stays as a Jedi, Jinn trains AND IS THERE for Anakin giving him the father figure he needed, and given Jinn's distrust of politicians, Sheev would struggle too unveil any mental mayhem

[@RatchetAndClank14]

​@@BigSteve9713But Dooku turned to the dark side because he saw that the Jedi were not what they once were

[@BigSteve9713]

@@RatchetAndClank14 I've seen both reasons cited, but I easily could've made a mistake. Whether or not Sheev can turn Dooku, Jinn is still there both for Anakin and as an influence keeping him away from any politicians

[@Thaumh]

Both you and Pente covered this idea. It's an interesting notion. Anakin was, as Kenobi pointed out to him, supposed to end the Sith, not join with them. What no one of the Jedi would, nor could consider, was that rather than a defeat in combat it could be an emotional undermining of the Sith's greatest master in several thousand years. On the other hand, as you did here, with the Sith winning, it hits home what Luke said to Rey in the Sequel Trilogy, time for the Jedi to die. In time however, the pendulum will swing back to the Light, preferably with something new instead of a rekindling.

[@Regis1603]

I just think Vader would never kill Padme, nor his children, let alone so brutally

[@nickgennady]

Point was Palpatine trained Anikian out of him

[@lothara.schmal5092]

I love this. Perfect example for the rule of two. The twist where very different from simular storied. Plus them playing with the rebels boosting them up just to destroy them is the very essence of Palpatine and sith. My favorite vadet was rogue one and obi. It showed how truly ruthless vader was.

[@ZomboidMania]

What if Palpatine was just a good dude and tried his best to make the galaxy better?

[@stealthynaxo]

I have to say that the "Dark Horse" Legends Vader is my favorite version. He is cruel, broken and evil. And yet to the avarage trooper he is like a King, heroic, inspiring, an avatar of duty and leadership. I just love how Vader was seen from all "certain" points of view. *Wink. Wink.*

[@noahsibahi-jackson8757]

If only Sidious wasn’t selfish to such a fault and he had actually cared about vader his plan would have worked

[@AzguardMike]

If we just look at his film scenes, he did care. He calls Vader his friend, counsels him on his emotions and fears, puts any doubts at ease. Hell, its why Palpatine wants LUKE to kill him. Then Palpatine will possess Luke and be side by side with Vader. but because of the cartoons, books, comics and Disney+ being the way they are, we now have a cruel old man who regularly removes Vader's cybernetics, electrocuted Vader for shits and giggles, tortured Vader on a whim emotionally, sent assassins to kill Vader on many occasions and constantly tried to replace him with The Inquisitors and the surviving younglings.

[@bigwsly]

Great video and btw Knightfall vader is slouch a unique part of his life Genuinely when he was at his best and in the force and also the shbtle changes are great

Just to answer the thumbnail: Sidious would´ve made sure Vader´s armor wouldn´t be a painfull prison but an armor that enhances his physical abilities to superhuman feats and oc he´d taught him EVERYTHING he knew even force lightning etc. He´d take a gamble bc Vader could betray him oc especially if he grows too strong but Vader would´ve been an unstoppable force of nature and there wouldn´t be anyone to cross his path and tell the tale. The true Fallen One what if would be nice.

A sequel to this would be amazing. "What if Darth Vader and Darth Starkiller ruled the empire." Luke could be met with a force ghost from both yoda and obiwan in which they try to turn him back and he either accepts them or completely turns to the dark side

[@marcusisgod2592]

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.

[@OriginalMomo]

Vader in “Kenobi” series I feel is the closest to the monster he was always portrayed to be. Or, the hallway scene at the end of Rogue one. The true monster.

[@MystikSwordzManZ]

Anakin wise would be during operation Nightfall, pretty mich his peak and Vader wise would be Rogue One since he was now at his best during that era

The one thing I can think of is that vader would be way more op, I can't be the only one who thought: hey why didn't they just clone vader to get some spare parts and eventually get him fully recovered?

[@ericringer597]

if they did care it would form the best form of government as well as possibly the best end result for the galaxy as care and compassion are still emotional responses that the dark side can use.its why i like the Sith amongst other things the only problem the Sith actually really have is one another as if they would choose to work together and respect one another in a real way no one would really have a chance as each fallen Sith would only further fuel the fire basically and if they only gave a shit about one another you in some real deep shit now as that’s basically there only real flaw as far as i can tell.
