[@josiaharaki7310]

I think this happens in the "what if the Jedi committed tax fraud" what if another channel did. Someone filed a tax form wrong that would result in an audit, which would lead to Yoda's embezzlement to feed his drug addiction being exposed, destroying the Jedi Order, so the council decides to assassinate Palpatine so the tax fraud would be swept under the rug during the confusion, but Obi-Wan objects. At this, the council "reveals" to him that Palpatine is a Sith Lord, and are forced to try arresting him instead. After the fight, Obi-Wan notices the shocked looks on everyone else's face and realized they were bluffing about knowing Palpatine was a sith lord and got lucky that he actually was one.

There were so many survivors scattered: Ahsoka, Obi Wan, Cere Junda, Cal Kestis, Dagan Gera, Kanan Jarrus, Babylon Skoll, Bode Akuna, Quinlan Vos, Ventress, Yoda, Taron Malicos, and many more that survived order 66. Would be awesome to see a story where they actually work together, recruiting force users and building an army to stop the empire on Tanalorr like Dagan wanted. I feel like it would eventually lead to a showdown of the force users VS Palpatine, Vader, and the entire Inquisitor squad if the empire can find a way to Tanalorr

Didn't know that Grey Jedi loves dark robes, ABSOLUTE POWER!!!, lightings and scheming.

[@beast0339]

I find it interesting that the Jedi are the antagonists here not necessarily because they've done anything wrong, but more that because of their disconnect from the general public, apathy toward change, and general religious zealotry. A lot of people like to say that Grey Jedi are some whishy-washy Disney invention, that it's simply a thing to artificially make characters more interesting, but honestly, I think that's not entirely true. I mean, I'd be a Grey Jedi, sure. More lax rules, less centralised religious institutions, and the added benefit of not gaslighting their followers into ignoring emotion

[@TRAILLER]

those are two different story ideas. one of personal balance. the other universal balance. What if Darth Plagueis power of manipulation of life and death before Palpatine killed him was only reachable when in balance. And when making him made so Anakin was naturally drawn to be in balance in the force. Teetering during the clone war, and finally reaching the fulcrum while delimbed on the banks of the lava flow on Mustafar. Managing to remotely barely save Padme while being put in the Vader suit. What if Plagueis plan was that Anakin was to be a constant counterbalance to the current feel of the force.

[@bobafett7613]

The force was out of balance because the jedi and not the sith, that's why he was teetering on the dark side in the clone wars! He had to be sith to destroy the jedi then became a jedi again to destroy the sith! Balance 😂😂

[@alexander.tahtadjian]

Why do I have the feeling that the mere idea of Palpatine being a Grey Jedi instead of a Sith Lord would not only give the Sith a run for their money but is also a very bad thing for everyone involved…specifically his enemies and those that threaten the balance. Plus it’s nice to see Palpatine being a Grey Jedi in this ‘what if’ because for some reason Palpatine being a Grey Jedi instead of a Sith is different and just makes sense (also he would be a very powerful and formidable individual) and the whole concept of Palpatine being a powerful force wielder who isn’t a Sith would fit perfectly well within the SW universe. Palpatine is one of my all time favourite SW characters and it was nice to see you include him in this amazing ‘what if’ story. Also, Palpatine’s show of power was just beautiful. Plus the voices for Anakin, Windu, Obi-Wan and Palpatine were just amazing. I do have a few ideas for some possible what if’s: 1) What if Rey was a Mandalorian…essentially what if Din Djarin found Rey and took her in as a Foundling. 2) What if Ezra was a Mandalorian…something like how both his parents were Mandalorians who left Mandalore and went to start their own lives (you could still keep most of Ezra’s backstory) and potentially make Ezra and Sabine a couple (since Disney won’t, we have too…#ezrabine4ever. 3) What if Jango Fett and/or Boba Fett Joined the Republic…I think something interesting could happen with this. 4) What if Rey, Finn and Poe went back in time to the Clone Wars…this would make the World Between Worlds even more of an important focal point and I could also see them get along well with Anakin, Ashoka, Rex and the rest of the 501st (it would be fun to see Rey, Finn and Poe join the 501st) I hope these are some amazing ideas for some potential What if’s

[@Simmlex]

The what if I wanna see: What if Yoda was actually the sith lord and not Palpatine.

[@MatthewHWise]

It's a good what if scenario but the only issue I have with it is that Grey Jedi would kill the Jedi since they all have a relationship with one another. In my opinion it would have been better if the Jedi Masters such as Windu, Ki-Adi, and Luminara are disarmed whether losing their lightsabres or even having to remove a hand. After the battle the Jedi Masters are arrested and taken to court as the Republic reveals the Jedi's treachery using Obi-wan as a witness which the masses decided that Jedi Order are no longer fit to serve the Republic. Palpatine enforces that the Jedi Order needs to be reformed so he gives the choice to either join the Grey or to return for the Jedi to return to the galaxy as citizens. Each Jedi must make their choice however, Obi-wan takes a step back having no idea where his life will go always believing he would serve the Jedi Order up until his last breath. Now on a journey to find himself he leaves the Republic behind saying farewells to his friends before he steps into the unknown.

[@Billyblue98]

20:34 I feel like this part in particular is a bit of a leap for the Jedi to make. They can confront the Gray Order after Maul is in custody. FIghting them now while Maul is in the room is just kind of stupid 16:43 It may also be a bit odd that Ventress is part of this new task force and no one's questioning it. Also the fact Bariss was in prison earlier means she bombed the Jedi temple. I imagine that would be tough for people to swallow her going free and working for the Republic again, but I suppose it wouldn't be as hard as Ventress
