What did you say?

[@BKBK-yo1zz]

The only reason it was a draw was because yoda lost the high ground

[@forcelight26]

I love how you have put some respect on yoda bro hes the goat

[@valkorian3172]

This is a horrifying scenario

[@forcelight26]

I also didn't even know that theory about padme

[@varana1239]

Jesus Crist this story I didnt exept it to have such dark end, you coudve even done it one better adding Yuuzhan Vong at the end being almost immune to force related stuff anyway just founding their almost empty new dream galaxy home XD imagine all the planets they can teraform without a care in the world

[@NormalChannel95]

Palpatine beyond the grave: Ironic

[@kennykiller]

He could protect others from his SENATE...

[@benjaminparker671]

What If Yoda went to Naboo to fight Maul while Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan went to protect the Queen

[@starwarsquill]

Great idea!

[@TonyAncom]

Yoda stomps easily.

[@eacalvert]

I like this idea!

[@Eric6761]

Palpatine: The biggest weakness of the Jedi are themselves, sadly they couldn't save themselves of each other

[@yumallah]

I don't usually comment on these types of videos, but this has got to be the craziest Star Wars 'what if' fanfiction I've ever seen. This is the first one that actually goes beyond the time of the OT and details a distant future, and in a very original way I might add. Great video, keep up the good work.

[@toomanygrenades]

So the sith being gone created an even bigger inbalance in the force via no dark siders and only light. That is why Anakin was supposed to kill off the Jedi. At least this is how I see it. Yoda failed even harder in this timeline how?

[@jameslightfoot1872]

Well, that escalated quickly.

[@dmann5938]

Congratulations you unlocked the…. what? Ending

[@lieps2547]

i dont think that it would take 500 years for the jedi to fall that far if you look at how far the jedi had already fallen it would have taken a 100 years tops for another Schism or full-blown civil war to take place

[@wargamesmaster]

What if Galen Marek/Starkiller was born early enough to become Dooku secret apprentice?

[@socialaccount0000]

16:16 Some may see this out of character for Yoda and the Jedi Order, but I completely agree. The events of the movies were truly the Will of The Force. The Jedi order of the time *was* corrupt, with Mace Windu and Yoda being the perfect examples of this, Especially by Revenge of The Sith. Mace was too attached to the Republic, he valued it just as highly as the Jedi Order. He was also a massive hypocrite and scolded Anakin for the same code violations he committed all the time. As for Yoda, he was the inverse problem, he wasn't attached to anyone or anything. He lived so long that death was something he just never cared about, its why he couldn't help Anakin despite realizing that Anakin did need help. Its also why I imagine, in a scenario like this, he would never learn the lesson he did on Dagobah, he would never learn that failure is the best teacher and that attachments in of themselves can be used for good and evil. As such, his flawed view on the force would inadvertently corrupt the order further if he didnt leave or die. Without *radical* changes, the order was far too corrupt by the time of ROTS. Ironically, Palpatine was correct. If left unchecked, I fully expect that they would've taken over the Republic "for the greater good".

[@matthewbarabas3052]

i dont remember mace windu violating the jedi code like Anakin did. the only violation, really, was him being ready to execute palpatine, but, even yoda would have done that.

[@72Worker]

Darth Kreia would be so pleased.

[@SteveScotsman]

I don't think Padme giving up Luke & Leia is in her character at all. Instead I think she would've balanced her political life and kept the children in her life as they were the only connection to Anakin she had left. I think it would be similar to a child's life in boarding school where she would have time with them. Love the storyline but again I can't see Padme giving her only connection to the man she loved away.

[@matthewbarabas3052]

i can, if padme was forced by circumstance to be a workaholic.

[@matthewbarabas3052]

well, thats.... horrible. the galaxy was literally set back 100,000 years...

[@boydbeasley3751]

What if Rahm Kota trained Anikin? What if Chewbacca was born a jedi?

[@starwarsquill]

Hmm…wonder what Han’s life would’ve looked like without Chewbacca…

[@darthyetgon]

There's a difference between knowledge and wisdom 😅😊

[@sisilotau2185]

This was awesome, great job!

[@globaltheater9343]

Could you see a jedi learning a form of immortality to ensure thr eternal enforcement of thr light and destruction of the dark.

[@starwarsquill]

Like the daughter? Don’t know if there’s anything in the lore about that tho :/

[@globaltheater9343]

@@starwarsquill Vitate and other sith have found ways of immortality. And We've seen many instances of either corrupted Jedi or simply jedi going for their own brand of the light-side. Therefore, do you think you could see such a Jedi arising? In your scenario, with the new Jedi order being as described, they could be so far away into their own dogma, that they will "do what they must" by "whatever means necessary" to "keep the peace", etc. Im sure a jedi like Anakin, could do something like this.

[@trash-heap3989]

Wooow! That went bad in a surprising way from the death of a horrible murderous tyrant into a horrific galaxy-wide plague. I almost want to see a continuation to this story to see if the Jedi or even force sensitives in general continue on or if they die out completely leaving the galaxy in a more "Mundane" state that leans in more towards "Battlestar Galactica" or if there might be a sheer focus in technological growth that makes things lean more into a Star Trek level of tech, if not enlightenment.

[@sugdolomar]

30:50 And that kids is why the way of the sith is the better outcome, at least they were more honest

[@Odinfang]

You think you could do what if mother Talzin was Sidious’s apprentice instead of maul? I feel Palpatine and Talzin could realize the sith grand plan, but with the night sister magic, they bring in elements of the brotherhood of darkness that existed before bane destroyed it.

[@darthdeucidius9305]

Bravo dude! Excellent what if. You hit upon something I've always believed; Fear of attachments is the path to the dark side. The only reason wielders of the dark SEEM more powerful is that sentient beings are social creatures by nature. Cutting oneself off from attachments inhibits the force. In his fear of another Jedi falling to the dark Yoda became even more dogmatic, so too, the order. You thought outside of the box when it seems like every 'what if' has become an exercise in minute distinctions from every other what if, leading to the same old same old.

[@ismaelbauman2156]

Yoda has lived for hundreds of years, having attachments would make him go insane.

[@CesarACastillo]

Shit, I don't think even Darth Nihilus caused as much destruction as this. He had to consume life to maintain his power as a Wound in the Force, but the level of devastation here is unparalleled.

[@sebastiannorrington3792]

Leia would have never married han.

[@stevenbrown1762]

No point to continue if both anakin and palps are dead.

[@GamePlays_1230]

This was exactly why the force had anakin also wipe out the jedi

[@ericcrabtree7075]

What would’ve been a great twist for this what if is that the Sith return eventually but unlike the sith of old this new order of Sith follow the light side of the force and are battling Both the corrupt new jedi order as well as the true Jedi and the people of the galaxy that are sick of the Jedi see the Sith as the heroes of the galaxy 😉🤔

[@adrianshek4352]

What if Darth Plegus tripped on a rock and died before finding Palpatine

[@ChristianGibbons777]

I’m just watching the 1st minute here and given the title of the video. I’m guessing you’re gonna have Anakin hold on to hatred just like Mual did after he was cut in half. Perhaps that’s how Anakin survives and discover Sith Lord Moemen like in the comics except he’s decapitated ect…

[@qalnor]

the election of emperors may not be normal, but it actually isn't unprecedented, see the holy roman empire

[@doomtitan1172]

To StarWarsQuill; Welp, this got ridiculously f**ked-up and so dark in the end!? 🤦 Despite Palpatine being killed early. The Jedi "Order" somehow still screw up in the far, far, far future. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 The Sith in Star Wars's Hell, including Palpatine's dark soul. Will have the last laugh seeing that this is all the Jedi's fault in the far end. And the Jedi of old in the afterlife, especially Yoda will be greatly horrified and be forever ashamed of themselves and for what happened forevermore. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised that the Jedi's spirits will actually be KICKED OUT of the afterlife/heaven and joined the Sith in Hell for these massive f**ked up atrocity?

[@GamePlays_1230]

It doesn't work that way

[@doomtitan1172]

@@GamePlays_1230 Why not?

[@DarthZevrel66]

This is the dumpster fire timeline.

[@Zminator1986]

So did this extremist Jedi Order took out the Vong invasion and Abaloth's release?

[@773Spair]

The movies begin with "A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...." What about an alternate ending in which no force sensitives are left at all, none coming about ever again; leading to a reality seemingly similar to our own. This connected continuity implied by this opening line would therefore come to fruition. (2/20/24)

[@matthewthompson6908]

Shouldn’t someone go back to mustafar to collect anakins body. He did horrible things but he shouldn’t just be left there

[@motitaX38356]

What if yoda died from the fall in the Senate, meanwhile Obi wan killed Anakin

[@Mystic_Gaming0128]

What if vader was successful in freezing luke day32

[@starwarsquill]

Guess Yoda would’ve ended up training Leia…

[@cronag4172]

What if Anakin lost his sight, instead of his arm?

[@Dahaka-rd6tw]

I'm not sure if this is pretty much same as "what if Anakin became an emperor" but here goes. Let's say that instead of grapping Palpatine and throwing him off and getting fried by force lighting, Vader literally Stabs his back with Lightsaber, seemingly killing him... instead of getting redemption, he deglares himself as new Sith master..... and of course, he proposes Luke to be his apprentice Vader: I will not ask again....

What if dooku had a secret clone

[@hirdyanshgoel6509]

The word surrender is weird to hear

[@thekaiser3815]

t like this time line it's so fresh and interesting. In most stores like this the Jedi end up returning to their roots and separating From the republic, in the time line not only are the Jedi more tightly bound to the government, but many of their beliefs such as no attachment get reinforced, interesting 🤔. The Dark side will always return to new Sith will rise in time, there may even be another Jedi Civil war.

[@00martoneniris86]

What if Darth maul died on naboo What if Darth plaqueis didn't train Palpatine

[@soularprimestudios5930]

Well eventually without Maul being around Pre Visla would take over Mandalore but there would still be a civil war most likely with or without Maul. ...

[@danielgoodrich264]

I didn't think it was possible but you've created a timeline that's darker than the canon timeline. Edit: Corrected A U T O C O R R E C T

[@Regis1603]

Why didn't Obi-Wan saved Anakin in this timeline? Makes Obi-Wan look like a murderer. Not to mention Anakin dying is stupid, because he's supposed to be the chosen one, so he should still live to kill the last Sith Lord, which is Maul at this point.

[@WarRobots-Apollyon]

I disagree with almost all of this.

[@Linneom]

How so?

[@gunn25]

The idea that a guy who had been using the Force for maybe 50 years could stand toe to toe with a guy who had been using it for 800+ years is a freaking sham I just can't get past. Being a dark side user would not enough to cover the gap of skill and practice between them. On top of it it, it isnt like we're comparing a rare talent to a random ancient gardener because Yoda was very strong in the force. Palpatine could toss all the crap he wanted, Yoda would simply be so much more skilled and strengthened through the force to dispatch him easily.

[@averagehoi4enjoyer905]

The Dark Side has been stated to be a faster route to immense power than the light, at the cost of one's soul; it essentially acts as a poison for those who wield it while fueling one's determination and efficiency for short, concentrated periods. This could be the reason Sidious was able to match Yoda's power, given the experience gap. Another reason could be the force shrouded in darkness due to Sidious's takeover and the purge of the Jedi. We know from the movies that the Darkside obscures the Jedi's capabilities to see clearly, and we also know from novelization that Sith artifacts that harness the dark side also inhibit a light side user's ability in combat. Sidious may have emulated the effect of an artifact, thus limiting Yoda in his fight.
