What if talzin and ventress killed grievous and dooku part 27

[@douglaslo210]

Obi-wan and Yoda were probably not the last jedi

[@clarity2199]

Um.....throwing Vader out of the space station may not kill him. Even before the suit, he was shown to easily handle intense falling heights. In his protected suit, he could easily use the metallic legs to help protect the rest of his body from the fall, while using the force to slow him down. Her chopping off 'metal' arms isn't going to hurt him. I can see him surviving that.

[@hemlarclaevus4231]

Pente Patrol Star Wars Honestly man. Don't take this the wrong way, but the Kenobi series isn't canon. It was made with Kathleen Kennedy's political agenda and desires in mind. It gave us a weak, not even intimidating villian of a main character that we can't even relate to and it also downgraded two great characters that we once loved. Kathleen has no desire to support boys and their transition into men and she didn't have any interest or respect for Star Wars in general.

[@aguest8150]

@@hemlarclaevus4231 hey bro I hate the sequels and Star Wars resistance but Kenobi was ok and Kathleen was temperd by ewan mcgregor I think that even though I refuse to let the sequels be cannon in my mind I can let Kenobi as it is not as bad and while it retcons a LOT it is no cannonbreaker like rise of Skywalker or last Jedi

[@brothers_of_nod]

I really like how this turned out. I've heard several What Ifs for Luke joining the Imperial Academy, and while they go differently, they all follow him joining his father's side and becoming Sith. It's quite refreshing to see Luke follow a path of a pilot and wind up under the cunning guidance of Thrawn. As well, your story had the prophecy come true in several different forms. Darth Vader (still Anakin Skywalker) killed Palpatine, leaving one crippling blow to the Dark side, then Leia, a skywalker, killed Vader, bringing an end to the Sith, and finally, Luke Skywalker killed Leia, leaving Obi Wan and Yoda to pass away of old age and end the Jedi, leaving the force entirely neutral and balanced in Luke who was affiliated with neither religion, his only concern being with serving his new Emperor in Thrawn.

[@ivans.5959]

The best outcome imo Thrawn wouldn't be as sadistic as Palpatine and would find other ways of solving things, not just blow them up and enslaving them. And certainly the Galaxy wouldn't be left with that chaotic and corrupt Republic

[@Kailerification]

Ahsoka and Maul are still about

[@brothers_of_nod]

@@Kailerification Ahsoka isn't a Jedi, at least not anymore, and Maul left behind his title of Darth, they may both have atonement with the Force, but Ahsoka is much more balanced than the average Jedi, and while Maul uses the dark side, I think by now he's closer to the night sisters; not quite, but closer there than to a sith.

What if Vader Actually trained the Inquisitors. Vader as we know, thought the Inquisitors were useless. So Vader would Actually train them properly, while balancing his duties. The Grand Inquisitor would probably kill Reva because she's to much trouble. The Grand Inquisitor would kill Kanan and take Ezra. The other Inquisitor would kill Cal Kestus and the others. Palpatine would be afraid of their powers and would order Vader to kill them. This won't be easy. The Inquisitors would fight back and possibly injured Vader. It would be cool to see them be a threat.

I don’t know how I feel about Leia beating Vader. I don’t think she could pull of beating a guy who is 80% of The Emperor power.

Leia is a Skywalker! if she was fully trained she would be more powerful then the emperor. She would be as close to Anakin reaching full potential as possible. You could argue it would take her longer then this to reach that power level, but her fully trained should crazy level of power.

[@DragunovJ]

As someone who saw the movie back in 1977... Luke made it pretty clear that he was going to join the academy to learn and go AWOL to join the rebellion. Even Obi Wan shut him down on the topic while handing him his father's lightsaber.

[@penzorphallos3199]

He sure says so, but academies were shown in media as potent indoctrination centers capable of making friends kill each other for competitions. Strong-headed Luke would be singled out by teachers and students alike, before getting picked up by elite scouts like in the video or dark side acolytes with not enough rest to think of an escape plan.

[@Ved000000]

Yeah, this was apparently a plan his little group had. Go get some training, steal a ship or two and bail. Biggs ends up on Yavin in the end too.

[@AndrewAce.]

Same with Biggs. There's even a deleted scene where I believe he talks about how he always intended to desert the Empire...

[@RCracer7223]

One thing to keep in mind, if Luke would have joined Biggs and the rest of the group as planned they would have had a group sense of loyalty, not only to themselves, but those that supported the group, aka the Empire. Add to it the accolades and promotions received by the group in this story, it would not surprise me at all for them to give up on their original idea to join the Rebellion and stay with the Empire. I think them not going as a group is what made Biggs want to get out of the Empire and back to his friends as soon as he could.

[@KertaDrake]

@@RCracer7223 Plus, Luke was doing REALLY well and shooting up in the ranks enough to perhaps make a difference from the inside... and with Vader stalking around at random due to interest in Luke's projects, defecting would probably end up with a rather merciless end before they even got out of weapons range in a ship.

[@66BricksYt]

Amazing theory, I thought it was really interesting how Vader chose not to train him sooner and that Luke never new he had a sister and that leia never new she had a brother. Great work and theory idea : what if Kanan survived

[@akuladoctor7355]

The reason it makes sense is, because he is forbidden to do so. Even showing Luke to Palpatine was a risky move. In order to protect Luke from the Emperor the best course of action is to remain indifferent to him as much as possible, and even control his own feelings, and thoughts. Simply viewing Luke as an Imperial asset, and nothing more.

[@aray8266]

Honestly I have to say this is by far one of the best videos you've done so far, I like the creativity imagination and the willingness to separate from the original story. it all fits and it all makes perfect sense. The only thing that didn't make very much sense was the point of getting all of the smaller kyber crystals to function, I thought that working with covered crystals was like the equivalent of working with uranium, and the reason that they went with the larger crystals was because they were more stable then the smaller ones. For example of how unstable the smaller ones are may I respectfully remind you of the lightsaber rifle?

[@DerNomade1871]

Missed opportunity for Owen to hit Obi-Wan with that "like you did his father" remark again to humble ben again

[@3.75istheway7]

Surprising that the empire allowed the resources to go to replace tie fighters with much, much better tie fighter and a much more expensive tie fighter

[@cr90captain89]

well with a better fighter the pilots are going to have higher kill ratios, and more successful missions, a tie defender makes every star craft in the rebellion look like a fricken joke.

[@enriqueperezarce5485]

Bro the tie defender while more expensive was a menace

[@huntclanhunt9697]

TIEs are great fighters. They're faster than Xwings, have incredible firepower with their twin lasers (3 shots per movie frame as opposed to 1 for an Xwing) and compliment the Star Destroyers well. Shields are overrated since at best they fend off one or two shots. Imperial casualties were so high because the Rebels repeatedly used the same few squadrons, meaning their pilots had on average much more experience than the imperials, who were spread out far more.

[@Firefrab]

@@huntclanhunt9697 they actually can also turn on the spot, allowing them to easily outmaneuver and outturn Rebel starfrighters, save maybe an a wing

What if anakin found HK-47 Statement: greetings meatbags (Padme and Qui Gon)

Great story but I’ve been wondering the same thing. Luke would have been found when he was in training. Vader would see Luke glowing in the force. There were so little light side force users that Luke would glow in the darkness.

[@akuladoctor7355]

What If the CiS figures out, that Dooku, and Sidius are setting them up to lose shortly after Geonosis. The start would be learning, that the droid army was clearly stronger, and the retreat was a grand mistake. Followed by spywork on Dooku, and learn, that he knew about the clone army all along. Now the leaders know, that Dooku is a "double agent", and that Sidius likely messing them as well, but the war is already started, and they can't defeat Dooku on their own in fair battle for obvious reasons.

Which Imperial Academy? Army, Navy, Stormtrooper, Civil Service, Merchant Marine or Mercantile. I recall a interview where George said there where a bunch of Imperial Academies from Military to Civil Service to Merchant Marine and even a kind of Trade School for (private) merchant lines. George said He would have likely applied to the Merchant Marine Academy. he could have ended up flying a Mail Freighter for the Post Office or a Steward on a Cruse Ship.

I want to see what if Obi-wan listened to Dooku on Geonosis but didnt turn to the dark. Ive always wondered what his motivations were in outing his master.

[@bizmasterTheSlav]

This is a very interesting fanfiction, especially the ending. What is the true balance of the Force? Maybe it would've been even better for the greater good if neither the Sith, nor the Jedi existed? I think yes, this would've been truly better. Force sensitive people will still be born, but there will be no religion to corrupt them in any way. The Jedi weren't angels too. Also, about the Empire. I believe that most of Empire's evil came from Palplatine, Darth Vader and maybe Tarkin. So, without them the Galactic Empire would be actually a pretty good government, a lot better than the Republic, I believe. The Empire would make sure no piracy existed, even in the Outer Rim, eventually maybe even claiming the Hutt space for the law, order and peace. Ironically, the Empire (even under Palps) paid more attention to the Outer Rim than the Republic and i think this tendencies of caring about the far edges would continue growing. So, in the end, I believe that is one of the best endings you've ever created in your amazing fanfics. The Force is in balance, the Galaxy is in peace, order, there exists no piracy, the slavery would eventually be dealt with completely without the SIth, and the people of the galaxy would live more and more prosperous generation after generation. Thank you so much for this magnificient video, Pente Patrol!

[@Xo-3130]

I mean Palpatine was the source of the evil of the Empire in both Canon and the old Legends. Hell, when the remnant of the Empire was put into the hands of someone who actually believed in the Empires founding Ideals it slowly grew into something that took care of many of the forgotten worlds in the Outer Rim. A Victory through Peace.

[@shaydowsith348]

Tarkin was evil without being force sensative. The Hutts had slaves without the Sith. So there still would be issues without Jedi or Sith. But thrawn would make a good choice, and perhaps he would even be able to contend with the Vong.

I just brushed off the mention of Riva trying to kill Luke. But when you said that Leia knew Obiwan, I stopped it right there. Fact is, if Luke went to the academy, he would jump ship with Biggs. And Obiwan would be waiting for him at the rebel base to start his training. Unfortunately, Leia would die a prisoner on the Death Star, either executed by Tarkin, or still locked in her cell when it blew up. Unless Vader recognized her potential, and made her his student.

I'm convinced this is the best timeline.

[@TarsonTalon]

You might say he brought balance to the Force. Speaking of which, I wonder if either Thrawn or Luke would become curious and investigate the Force themselves. Luke due to his own natural abilities, but Thrawn due to the understanding that such power could prove useful in peacekeeping and future conflicts. Probably a Grey Order, that is a lot less religious and far more utilitarian.

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

Here's the thing: even without Luke being there thrawn is incredibly practical and pragmatic despite how rebels showed him. He goes out of his way a bunch to solve things without blowing them up when given the option, even to detriment to himself. So he'll be fine either way

[@novahazing5254]

@@TarsonTalon Honestly I could see luke making something akin to the Imperial Knights in Legands. They where abid Light Adepts with the Force who served as Peach Keepers for the Reminates of the Empire that had sided with the New Republic in an alliance.

[@mesiagamer5217]

@@wholesome_masochist4113 let's not forget Rebels Thrawn and Legends Thrawn were in two completely different strategic positions. Legends Thrawn was fighting from the rebels' previous position with limited resources and a sark understanding that he can't comfortably take a major loss. Rebel's Thrawn was fighting from the strong position with the ability to call on almost any resources he needed and had his focus split between taking out the Phoenix rebels and his starfighter pet project. And while it's not always the case there are times when genius have endless resources they tend to ironically enough hyperfocus on a single strategy.

Best timeline!? What about Abeloth 💀💀

[@locoarticwolf2181]

Love that Luke doesn’t become a Acolyte and remains a part of the Empire as a mastermind. It’s often forgotten that the Skywalker’s are brilliant and cunning. Really love how the Empire is in a decent or better place with no Sith or Jedi to threaten it. One of the best timelines for the Empire. The Empire could’ve lasted longer with Palpatine and Tarkin and their followers.

Anakin was a true mastermind indeed.

[@TheUncivilizedNation]

If it wasn’t for Palpatine being the evil man he was I’m sure the Empire could’ve legitimately been the best thing for the galaxy. Problem is Palpatine wanted yes men for everything which led to some ridiculous corruption in the Empire Everyone wanted Palpatine’s favor. If the emperor (insert person here) actually cared about the Galaxy then the higher ups would have to care too. Leading to better standards of living for most of not all of the galaxy

[@KertaDrake]

@@andreyradchenko8200 Wizards only think of wizard solutions to problems. Someone unfriendly? Socializing is too much work, just charm person! Need a loyal army when the people won't fight for you? Don't bother inspiring loyalty, just use necromancy! Rebels? Escalating levels of fireballs until they stop being a problem!

[@AzraelThanatos]

You know, a terrifying combination would be a combo of the skills developed under Thrawn and an unknowing talent with battle meditiation because combo those and in charge of forces creates a monster on a strategic and tactical level despite losing out on the even smaller scales

What if the Jedi temple wasn’t built on top of the Sith temple? Maybe they would have sensed the dark side in Palpatine quicker, or they wouldn’t have been so arrogant, because I think it’s the darkness inside of the temple that clouded their vision

[@RichyArg]

it wasn't a Sith Temple, it was a Dark Side Nexus, which mos Sith Temples were, but that particular spot was not, it had been the seat of the order for ages, it was first built when the order was still young, and the force wasn't quite well understood, it was built well before use of the darkside became taboo, so to the jedi that built it it was just a force nexus.

[@SoreChipmunk963]

@@RichyArg I didn’t know that Thx for the information

[@publicprofilename4273]

I totally agree, and have always thought that the dark side esscence had corrupted the jedi, over generations, slowly enough that they didn't notice it, while at the same time, making subtle nudges to their doctrine and code. The most glaring change, being the way the Jedi view the Sith and dark side in general. The quick and easy path indeed? How many generations of Sith from Bane onward, were there secretly and methodically putting the pieces in place, and positioning their successors one step closer to the end game? How long was the game Plagues and Palps played, to get that check mate move, Darth Jar Jar set up in ep 3? I mean, if that was the quick and easy path, then I'd hate to see what they'd consider the hard road, right?

[@publicprofilename4273]

@@RichyArg Are you sure about that? I have always understood it to be, that under the temple, there was a Sith temple ruin, that had a darkside energy, clouding the Jedi in the temple above, for generations. Other than the bitchslap aspect of it, it was also "a" reason palps put his crib there, so he could commune with the darkside energies there. Wasn't there even some superweapon underneath it all? There's so damn many books and stories, in 2 timelines, I can get stuff jumbled up, being an old af codger now, but I feel pretty strongly that you're mistaken. I mean no insult or disrespect, we should have a discussion about it. I'm more than willing to get new insight, and be shown I'm wrong. I'm really intrigued by your statement, and want to hear more.

[@fawkewe]

Palpatine was an extremely powerful force user who rarely actually used his powers so he was probably just masking his energy or finding a way to make it blend in with all the Jedi on the planet. They know a sith lord exists somewhere so he wouldn’t need to worry off world.

[@ciphered2000]

How would Vader not have realized Luke's identity almost immediately? He would've learned his name was Skywalker right off the bat and immediately put 2 and 2 together.

[@KaiHung-wv3ul]

I imagine it would go something like this, Vader: (force chokes some underling for incompetence) Vader: "Now, tell the captain to lead his men forward, or suffer the consequences!" Random Stormtrooper: "You just killed the captain, sir." Vader: "Oh,"(turns to Luke)"You go tell whoever's in charge now that he should lead his men up to that hill." Luke: "That would be me, sir." Vader: "Okay then. What's your name again?" Luke: "Luke Skywalker sir." (Vader's metallic jaw drops to the floor)

[@Micha-wb9oz]

He could prolly sense his michlorian count / strength in the force or something

[@silverblade357]

I get the impression that the name Skywalker isn't all that rare or special on Tatooine. Kinda like the bastard surnames in Game of Thrones. I mean, Anakin's mother was a slave who was born into slavery. Vader only learn who Luke was after connecting him to Owen and Beru.

[@aaronlawson2137]

I mean yeah you think about how many trillions of people are in the galaxy and how many billions are in the empire there's only so many last names at some point additionally force sensitives do join the empire it's even fairly common without the Jedi order running midichlorian checks most people don't ever even realize it but like the red guard are lesser force sensitives like there'd always be the chance if luke rose high enough in the ranks Vader may suspect something but it could go either way I just mean to say that it's possible it could just be a coincidence

I really love this story. I was very invested with Luke’s side of the story because of how complex and interesting it was. A lot of Leia’s side was, okay heard it before. But there was plenty of interesting things that did happen with Leia. And the ending was great, perfect cherry on top.
