What If Darth Vader Survived Return of the Jedi (Star Wars What Ifs)

What If at the End of Return of the Jedi, the newly turned Anakin Skywalker Stays ALIVE? Is Anakin able to right the wrongs he committed as Darth Vader or does he fail to live up to the former man that was Anakin Skywalker?

[@culturesend1704]

Absolutely. Han has to have Jefi reflexes and be force sensitive. I've thought that since episode one. Han is the 1st person in Star Wars afterall to say the iconic line"I have a baad feeling about this"- I think. Am I wrong?

[@The1976spirit]

@@culturesend1704 Han also is immortality sensitive. He gets the point Boba is no clone but the others, including Han himself, are. Boba and Han could heve killed each other all too often, they just celebrete their private secret.

[@culturesend1704]

@Carterb92 it's true skill to be sure, but the abilities and reflexes he exhibits are the type that only Jedi or force sensitive posses. I HATE to even mention the sequels, but the best example of this is when he is able to use light speed to beat a shield. Completely ignoring the actual mechanics, and physics involved in such a maneuver, obviously. And I can't imagine anyone forgets the piloting skills of Vader. Obi-Wan literally calls him the best Star pilot in the Galaxy, at the time of their first meeting.

[@culturesend1704]

@Carterb92 I pray that NEVER happens because the Star Wars would truly be dead to me. And I get what you mean about the OT vs. the prequels. In ep4 Vader does almost single handedly take out the red and gold squadrons but that's really the only time in the OT we see his skill as a fighter.

[@namelesshorror1750]

Anakin was always destined to become "Darth Vader", it seems like an inescapable fate. I wonder what would happen if Anakin stayed on the lightside of the force yet he still gets crippled and burned. It would be epic to see a lightside post Vader Anakin with a upgraded suit and better cybernetics fight Yuuzhan Vong beside his grandchildren.

Anakin loved building things and he loved piloting. What if he did more of that after he became Vader?

[@PentePatrolStarWars]

Technically...: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zomyoa2sgMSLors

[@marks2807]

While it is not talked about much in the lore Vader was frustrated with how faulty his suit was, and requested to do his own repairs on his suit. Which the Emperor allowed. In my own head cannon I imagine the Emperor keep access to certain technology away from Vader.

[@Thecommander248]

I think I know how the Rebels would justify Darth Vader surviving. From their point of view, he didn't. They would say that Anakin Skywalker had been a prisoner of Vader and the Emperor for decades and tortured. That's technically true from a certain point of view. The Rebels could announce that Anakin was kept alive to be used as leverage against his children. Then when Luke was captured, Anakin was dragged out in front of him. Anakin wasn't broken though and helped Luke beat Vader and the Emperor, which again, is technically true. That way Anakin could live in peace since no one knew he was Vader anyways. Mon Martha and Akbar wouldn't be thrilled. Leia probably would have a hard time seeing Anakin and Han would just spit in his face, but kept it secret for Leia and Luke's peace of mind. It could work.

[@gabebartlett9680]

While this is absolutely amazing and extremely well thought out! I do have one thing I’d like to say. In my opinion I think it would’ve taken a little while longer than here for her to finally warm up to Anakin, this is shown for example whenever in the comics she wasn’t accepting at first even though she knew Anakin was redeemed. Leia was very much her fathers daughter and this would also translate into her personality as well, she found it much harder to look past all the stuff he did as Vader and I wouldn’t say she’s necessarily less forgiving than Luke, but she very much isn’t as instantaneously trusting as Luke can be. However eventually though I do think she would fully learn to forgive her father and really get to know and understand the real Anakin. I just think it would be a bit of a slower process.

[@PentePatrolStarWars]

Thank you so much! And that's exactly why their bond isn't started by her or Vader but by Luke. Because Leia doesn't interact with Anakin alone until after Luke, Anakin, and her have their bonding moment

[@epion660]

I agree, but it's kind of nice to see a take on this story that isn't Leia screaming in rage the whole time. Not to say that isn't a reasonable response, but it's nice to have some variety.

[@gabebartlett9680]

@@PentePatrolStarWars You know that’s a fair and good point! I do definitely still see her coming around still! Luke would definitely serve to convince her. Overall this was still amazing and thoroughly enjoyed this work! You should do a what if video that deals with Leia sometime soon!

[@ColvyMolvy]

I think it was also she couldn't forgive him for what he did to Han on Bespin.

[@anonymouscat7738]

I agree with this. I was thinking about it as I was watching the video. Anakin appeared to Leia as a force ghost on Endor in Legends begging her to forgive him, but it would actually take years for her to forgive him. After the death of everyone she held dear on Alderaan, and the complete obliteration of the planet, Leia originally just wasn't ready to forgive Anakin yet. Years later, Leia learned about Anakin's past and did come to forgive him and named her third child after him. Either way, super sweet story. 😊

[@krismikewill]

Well done with bringing Mara Jade in, but more props for addressing the existence of Abeloth. I expected Padme to "be with" Anakin, though not in corporeal form. I expected her to be a ghost in the nebula that Anakin would interact with. So, good redirection and unique approach. I actually want more detail about Padme's appearance. Is it her as in life? Her consciousness in Abeloth's body? You left enough at the end for later expansion (good writing on your part). So, ultimately, thanks for a great and entertaining video as I worked legs.

[@PentePatrolStarWars]

Thank you so much! And that's up for you to decide :)

[@justingary5322]

Great video dude you're Awesome 😎. What it Jedi Master Fay was alive during and survived Order 66 ?

[@wanderinghistorynerd8228]

This made me happy, I felt every emotion Anakin did. I think that’s just because I spend so much time with the character of Vader. I understand almost everything about how he thinks, and somehow you replicated that perfectly. You made me see Anakin as he was during the clone wars and it made me nostalgic, the way this writing just feels so perfect and wholesome is amazing. This fan fic is better than the sequels as a whole. I like this.

[@wanderinghistorynerd8228]

And while I wouldn’t replace it for the originals, this still left me all kinds of for-filled. It made me realize how Anakin must have felt when he moved on into the afterlife. It sort of makes me feel how Anakin must have felt when he passed on. This just gave me a whole new understanding of vader, and allowed me to resolve Vader’s story in my head.

[@wanderinghistorynerd8228]

I’m a big time fan of Vader, he is just so cool. And I love all sorts of theories. It’s a way to be nerdy ya know.

[@Skumnutlover12ei]

POV: anakin sees leia: “Leia… you’re a lot shorter than I expected.”

[@intuitionedits2.032]

"She just wanted to give joy to the man who lost everything." That was wholesome

[@courtiusmaximus5150]

That was such a great story. Anakin is my favorite character in all of Star Wars and his turn to the dark side was cool, but mostly sad. He just wanted to live a good life and instead he's been a slave his whole life. He turned back to the light and is reunited with his family. I love redemption stories like this. The new Grey Jedi Order or the Order of Skywalker is really cool and definitely an order I could join. Thank you for writing such an amazing heartwarming story.

[@PentePatrolStarWars]

Thank you so much!!

[@quincyjackson7855]

I always imagined Anakin's quest for immortality would have led him to the ghost of Exar Kun. He was always curious for answers, what more could he find the answer rather than the tomb of the most powerful sith ever who was truly immortal. That would have been the greatest battle ever.

And then when he found out who Luke was, his child long believed to have died with his wife, did he ever suspect Leia might be his daughter? I’m assuming not, since he seemed surprised when he found out after reading Luke’s mind in ROTJ, but to me, it seems a bit odd that he’d never make a connection between the two names, especially since they’re both his enemies.

She must have hidden her force sensitivity all her life without knowing it. Luke must also had. Consider that Darth Zannah broke the neck of 2 jedi with raw force power without knowing how to use it... she was 10 years old. Leia was tortured by vader at 20 and captured by inquisitors at then and still nothing. Luke didn't seem to give two shits finding the ones who was like his parents dead. Both are supposed to be stronger than Zannah and always dancing close with the dark side

@@emilpeterson7034 Oh no, I get that. I just wonder if it ever crossed Vader’s mind that Leia just happens to have the same name he and his wife were going to give a daughter, assuming they agreed on the name.

@@GalakStari I'm assuming they didn't get the chance alot except in the beggining maybe, during the mid-end of the period before the birth he was away fighting constantly, also in ROTJ Padme wants to leave for Naboo with Anakin.. Which must mean she was very very early. Since he was away fighting and she was a senator they can't seen eachother alot during campaigns + it was "secret". Anakin in the end went from a campaign straight into a new battle. Where he fought Dooku, old palps fks with his head & jedi does exacly as old palp says. Then a increase of visions about her death& turning to the dark side. I suppose he didn't wanna talk about names very much then, since he keep seeing her dying & goes abit dark side, killing bunch of children etc. Which I understand Padmé feel like he was rdy to discuss it. If they spoke of it, Vader didn't want to think about it to much since it represented Anakins life and also could been a lot of names.

[@GalakStari]

@@emilpeterson7034 Hmmm, that makes sense, especially since Anakin didn’t find out until ROTS. And he did start having the visions right after Padme told him….

[@emilpeterson7034]

@@GalakStari Yupp and uncle palps knew exacly what the jedi would do and say which kinda made him unleash the dark side. If yoda would have said something more specific to Anakin instead of rejoicing in death etc and other far sited views instead of saying that if u seek to change the future u might create it. Damn fools. Kenobi knew half the time atleast and could have appouched earlier

Very well done. It’s very rare to find any sort of sith redemption tale, and you extended Vader’s very well.

[@PentePatrolStarWars]

I'm glad you enjoyed!

Definitely think it would be like the winter soldier, everyone is like “yo that dude killed a ton of people” while like tries to hide him bc he sees the good in him

[@Jay-tq9ws]

Now this was an amazing What If story, truly beautiful and heartwarming. 🙂

[@PentePatrolStarWars]

Thank you so much!

[@olddays2253]

This is very heartwarming.

[@Loyal2Luna]

Soooo optimistic. Clearly the comics and his crimes as Vader are not being taken into account. Leia forgiving him for straight up torturing her is probably the most unrealistic things here.
