What If Darth Vader TOOK OVER The Death Star To Become Emperor

[@TarsonTalon]

"Ironic. He built a giant laser to control the galaxy, but couldn't control it himself." -Darth Vader afterwards to a future apprentice, on 'The Comedy of Darth Sidious, The Arrogant'.

[@JSHADOWM]

Only for the apprentice to go "I have a PHD in The Comedy of Darth Sidious the Arrogant studies, sir." and be promoted on the spot.

[@PotatoPrem]

@@JSHADOWM the promotion requires vader to die. So basically vader dies from shock XD

[@littlefoot5013]

I recall in one of the novelizations, Death Star, though now Legends, that Tarkin thought that the Emperor probably had a secret "self destruct" button for the Death Star in his office to guard against just such a possibility as someone like Tarkin using it against him. Given how cunning and how many backup plans Palpatine has in the other Star Wars Galaxy videos, here, he seems to be lacking in his contingency plans.

[@yamatohime2035]

Probably not. Self-destruct mechanisms are double-edged swords. If Sidious can use it, Rebels can use it. Sidious was not an idiot.

[@SamCaiman14]

​@@yamatohime2035 But a laser shut down seems plausible. There is no way Palpatine had no mechanism to guard against this.

[@yamatohime2035]

@@SamCaiman14 Yeah, shutdown codes are more plausible with specific access levels.

[@DrownedInExile]

@@yamatohime2035 Shutdown codes wouldn't stop the Death Star for long. But it would be long enough for Palpy to execute Secret Order 99. A message gets broadcast to the entire Galactic Holonet, denouncing Vader as a traitor to the Empire, and summoning every ship in the fleet to destroy him. Even the Death Star can't take on the entire Rim Fleet. Palpy still would have died to the Superlaser. And Vader would have soon followed him in death.

[@PotatoPrem]

@@DrownedInExile The rim fleet were not clones. Vader would easily kill any resistance and turn the fleets against each other. The empire was built on lust for power , fear and ambiguity. Vader would be the largest source of all 3 now that sidius is dead

[@DrownedInExile]

Well that was super-Dark. A Galactic Empire ruled by anger and fear and death? The ancient Sith would be green with envy! But I can't imagine Palpy didn't have a backup plan, for both Vader and the Death Star. He would have had an override backdoor installed in the Star's computers. It would slow the Death Star long enough for Palpy to execute Secret Order 99. A message gets broadcast to the entire Galactic Holonet, denouncing Vader as a traitor to the Empire, and summoning every ship in the fleet to destroy him. Palpy still died to the Superlaser. But even the Death Star couldn't take on the entire fleet. Plus Vader's own crew was in full mutiny now. Thus the Death Star became Vader's tomb. But he didn't care. The Emperor was dead, the Jedi were dead, Obi-Wan was dead, his wife and children were dead. He welcomed death when it came.

[@DrownedInExile]

@@PotatoPrem Vader's not that powerful. He might be able to secure the Death Star single-highhandedly. But turning fleets? He's not Bastilla. And much of the officer corps would have had family on Corusant. They wouldn't side with him.

[@PotatoPrem]

@@DrownedInExile You forget that Vader already had a strong control on a lot of the empries officers lol. He was high up in the trade of secrets , most of them either feared him or the rare few worked with him to get favour and promotions

[@iainballas]

Alright, I'll contribute one... What if Luke was raised by Hondo? Obi-Wan COULD have considered that Hondo would be able to hide him, and would teach a kid to survive. I mean, Hondo's a pirate... but he showed his true colors in Rebels. And for the right price (Obi Wan perpetually owing favors) he'd have done it! Meeting up on Tatooine: "KENOBI! My old friend! The boy? Yes yes, he JUST won a podrace on Malastare, and made ol' Hondo a pretty penny, eh? What, me, GAMBLE on that boy's life? Never! I cheated, hahahah!" *proceeds to put feet up on Obi-Wan's table*

[@nobbyfirefly57]

Imagine if Hondo was force sensitive

[@patrickbarnes9462]

I suspect Palpatine would have a hidden self-destruct command, even for the Death Star. If he can't have it, nobody can.

[@DrownedInExile]

Agreed. Maybe not a self-destruct, but certainly a remote shutdown backdoor. It wouldn't stop the Death Star for long, but long enough for Palpy to execute Secret Order 99. A message gets broadcast to the entire Galactic Holonet, denouncing Vader as a traitor to the Empire, and summoning every ship in the fleet to destroy him. Even the Death Star can't take on the entire Rim Fleet. Palpy still would have died to the Superlaser. But Vader would have soon followed him in death.

[@Mike1064ab]

Supposedly in legends there were failsafes so the Death Star couldn’t be used against coruscant. That way someone like tarkin or Vader couldn’t go after the emperor.

[@scottwestleysmith3196]

Okay, that part at the beginning where Darth Vader destroys the Millennium Falcon didn't quite sit well with me. In the original movie, it was hinted that placing the tracker on the Falcon was Vader's idea. He wanted to find the rebel base quickly. He wouldn't have destroyed the Falcon. That's just my two cents. Other than that, this story was pretty interesting.

[@MatthewJamesKalasky]

Yeah, I was kinda thinking the same thing.

[@vnep5743]

"Coruscant is the target." "Blow up Coruscant, gotcha." "But you are not to destroy the planet." "Sure thing. Don't blow up Coruscant." "You are only to target the capital city." "So blow up Coruscant." "That's not....*awkward silence* just target the imperial palace." "It's treason then. Shall I have you arrested, Lord Vader?" "Just fire the damn laser."

[@dennydanschin2001]

The laser powered up and fired a blast directly at the old Jedi temple. Directly at Palpatine then a voice can be heard it was Palpatine screaming I am all the Sith, unlimited power! Shooting lightning and proceeded to do a beam clash with the blast (like it was a episode of DBZ), and then Vader watching suddenly remembered "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

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.

[@doomtitan1172]

After what happened to Coruscant, Yavin 4, Tatooine, the many destroyed planets/cities, and further beyond with Vader's own Dark Empire. That in the heaven-like afterlife. The likes of the spirits of Padme, Shmi Skywalker ( Anakin's Mother ), Luke, Liea, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and most of the Jedi will most definitely NEVER forgive Vader for what he did. He will most likely go to the Sith's verison of "Hell" when he eventually dies.

Video #30 of the campaign, last video I finally had an answer, now I only do this for the fun of it: I wonder what you could cook up with this idea - "What if Anakin died in the Battle of Coruscant ?". I was personally interested in seeing what would happen if Anakin crashed into a munitions crate or something, dying in the cockpit of his crashed fighter. How would that affect Obi-Wan and Sidious's plans ? Maybe Dooku could finally convince Obi-Wan to join him, or something else. Perhaps with Dooku arrested, the Jedi order would believe him and stop Palpatine, either killing him or arresting him. For the Jedi, the prophecy of the Chosen One would turn out to have been wrong, but in reality, Anakin not living to join Sidious would've probably been a better fate for the galaxy. Alternatively, Sidious could perhaps still salvage the situation, making his empire stronger. I think it could be another 2 part episode. Suppose I will continue this until either the idea is posted or until I forget to do it anymore.
