I didn't play kotor, so I may have interpreted that quote wrong. Correct me if I did.

“Huzzah, a man of quality!”

Nilhus: I ate the Jedi

“The Sith hate this guy! Find out how Revan turned the Jedi against each other in these easy steps!”

🅱️ased Revan

Actually, it wasn't their army. It was like a merc army, already paid and bought. Who was programmed by 3rd party for loyalty. The only persons Palps turned was the Chosen one aka Anakin and Dooku.

He would have listened, and then Windu would have convinced him by saying he could question Palpatine to figure out how to save Padme.

@@toby1061 Then Palpatine would have probably found a way to trick Anakin during questioning, causing him either to fall to the Dark Side or allow him to escape, or both. However, the Jedi would be far more prepared, and Order 66 would be a marginal success at best (with the best of the Jedi escaping) and a total failure at worst. After that, lacking the power for a conventional war, the Jedi would have fought in the shadows, using secret allies and guerrilla tactics rather like those of the Rebel Alliance, though they would have started faster and had more initial success due to the numerous powerful and experienced Jedi and the fact that they could get a great deal of aid from the Separatists before they were completely defeated (like the last phase of the Second Galactic Civil War). This war would have ravaged the galaxy for a long time, though hopefully not long enough to get interrupted by the Yuuzhan Vong (though it's possible that the social changes that the Jedi caused the first time around would have happened then, resulting in an eventual victory for the Jedi and their army of Empire and Vong rebels and complete restructuring of the galaxy), and the result would be a completely changed galaxy, likely with the Jedi more integrated in the government than even in the post-Pius Dea era. Maybe something like the Jedi Lords of the New Sith Wars--certainly the Reformed Army of Light would have played a major role in their victory--or like the Fel Empire with its Force-sensitive Emperor and Imperial Knights tasked with the defense of said Emperor and his/her replacement in the event of a fall to the Dark Side. This could also have caused a slippery slope, resulting in widespread fall and a Second Galactic Civil War, and if we wanted to make this as fun as possible, the remaining Jedi Faithful could have allied with the surviving Mandalorians, reforming the Mandalorian Knights but with better morality and theology, and possibly helping reform the Mandalorians into a people who only fight for righteous causes, of which the Star Wars Galaxy has no shortage. Alternately, the Jedi might have hastily reformed the Army of Light and launched a direct attack on Darth Sidious, like Operation Nightfall but in reverse. If Anakin was with them, they likely would have succeeded, though at the cost of their credibility and likely most of their number. If Anakin fell, he might have tipped the balance in the Sith's favor, resulting in the OT Rebel Alliance having more power and possibly more Force-users (though they might all have been slaughtered by suitless Vader), but no major differences to the storyline except better-informed New Jedi Order founding members--if Vader survived his redemption, he would have met his end at the hands of New Republic justice due to the many atrocities he committed, which might have established a precedent resulting in the similar death of Kyp Durron, the guy with the largest killstreak of any Legends character and similar to that of the First Order gunner on Starkiller Base. Either way, they would have had to deal with Abeloth and the Lost Tribe of the Sith at some point, though if Mace Windu or his teachings survived, Vaapad could have made short work of these threats (Mace might be able to solo the entire Lost Tribe, especially if Abeloth was in the fight as well). It could also play into the later fall of the Jedi Empire into yet another Sith Empire, and made the combat in that era markedly different from all previous Sith-Jedi conflict (that and Mandalorian tactical knowledge making them realize that Force Light is the most effective offensive weapon the Jedi have, and making sure all Knights use it as their first line of defense against Darksiders). Thank you for reading through this long comment, I hope you had as much fun imagining these scenarios as I did.

The thing is, Palpatine was only pretending to be beaten.

@@ericpowell4350 I don't want to cause a fan fight but as I'm not that up on the lore. Is this a statement based on official statements by writers of the movies, taken from the full script notation of the movie, or from an official guide. Or is it more of a personal opinion or something based on legends/ old cannon material. Personally I believe that Canon isn't really a thing to fight over. You can personally have whatever Canon you want by considering what you want as part of your personal starwars. But I'm trying to write a series of short what if stories based entirely on official current Canon material.

@@Aztesticals Yes, George Lucas said something to that effect years ago.

Well no, Padme was in the early stages of her pregnancy at the beginning and she gives birth at the end, so most likely 7-9 months time

I think if we take into account travel time in between different worlds, ROTS technically lasted a week or two.

Romeo and Juliet barely lasted 3

@@naggu1243 No, the original commentor is correct - it's only four days. She's at the very end of her pregnancy when she first tells Anakin because they hadn't seen each other in six months.

It didn't. Anakin was away for around 5 months and he by all given logic must've knocked Padme up shortly before he left, meaning when he returned she was around 5-6 months pregnant at best, so either the twins came way to early or the movie takes place within at least several weeks if not months, and judging how much bigger Padme's stomach had gotten on Mustafar compared to the early scenes on the night Anakin had returned there is seemingly some time between them.

Just like Shaak Ti

How's that even possible

@@G59forlife. He used the Force. And it's nothing, actually: Darth Plagueis went without sleep for DECADES until Sidious got him drunk... And murdered him the moment he fell asleep.

@@lordMartiya oh That's pretty cool didnt know the force can replace sleep. I thought of starkillers clone in TFU2 but that's legends so

@@G59forlife. The no-sleep thing is also from Legends. Specifically, the RotS novelization by Matt Stover for Anakin, and the "Darth Plagueis" novel for Plagueis.

Yeah, which made him even more delirious Anakin hardly slept and eaten leading up to these events due to the mental stress he was in, as said he was terrified everytime he closed his eyes he would've been plauged by visions of his wife dying, which honestly makes this whole thing even more tragic.

I beg to differ. It doed when qui gon was killed.

@@themasterninja110 yea but that was all part of sheevs plan so yea it died when Palps was elected

@@fulcrum7455 when qui gon died. Qui gon couldbe prevented it all and given anakin proper training. Qui gon was the key

@@themasterninja110 I'm afraid you are wrong for a myriad of reasons. Not least of which is that Palpatine had been elected before Jinn's death, he now held the reigns of power and could use that to his full advantage. Dooku as well was already more or less under his sway. Anakin was the apprentice Palpatine chose, but he wasn't a prerequisite in any way for the rise of the Empire or Palpatine. Whether Jinn lives or dies is completely irrelevant to that, since the Republic still falls under Palpatine's sway, he and Dooku still orchestrate the Clone Wars, the Republic still uses the Grand Army and therefore Order 66 can happen any time Palpatine or Dooku wish to implement it. Jinn's not the key, he's just another pawn on a board. It's also not realistic in any way that Jinn living equals Anakin not falling to the Darkside. It was Jinn who left Anakin's mother on Tatooine, Jinn who encouraged Anakin to build relationships and Jinn's teaching style that was used by Kenobi later, all of which contributed to Anakin falling to the Darkside through the fear of loss born from his mother being left behind and eventually dying, his relationships and attachments with Padme and Palpatine and Jinn's disagreements with the Council as well as his links with Dooku which would all have pushed Anakin into frustration with the Jedi. Finally, let's not forget, Jinn saved Jar Jar Binks, who would become a Senator and eventually petition to give Palpatine emergency powers. So no, Jinn isn't some magic button that fixes everything, many of his decisions actively caused many of the problems in the saga.

@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 quit reading once you said gin living doesn't equate anakin not falling. That's exactly what it means. The duel in episode 1 is duel of the fates. Anakins fate. Whether qui gon would live to be the master and father figure anakin needed or whether he would fall. Thats the whole premise of episode 1. He needed qui gon. He was the chosen one. Had qui gon survived, Palpatine would hold no such sway over him. Qui gon. Was. The. Key.

@@geetslys As much as we all hate Roundhead Johnson for TLJ, we have to bitterly admit that Jake Skywalker was right all along about the Jedi

Clone commando

@@Bazinguh Impossible! perhaps the archives are incomplete

I’d be a clone captain

Yes

In reference to your 4th point, I’m not sure the standards of the Jedi Order had dropped. I always thought Sidious was just THAT good. Plus he had the force scream that threw them off. The Sith have a track record of being stronger than most Jedi. Of course he’d have his work cut out against Yoda/Mace, but Sidious would probably beat most Masters of Old as well.

Better than 911 really.

Hyperspace travel moves at the speed the plot demands. I love Star Wars, but never try to apply too much hard science to a franchise that thought "12 parsecs" was a measurement of time instead of distance.

It's unknown how fast palpatine or padmes ships were. But we do have some numbers to show how ludicrous hyperdrives are in star wars. Millennium falcon travels at 1041.66 light years per hour. The star wars galaxy is 100k light years across. To travel from the center of the core to the very edge of the galaxy would take Han 48hrs. Courescant wasnt in the deep core and Mustafar was in the outer rim, but it wasn't the furthest reaches of the outer rim. Space in general is mostly empty space spread out far the further from the center you go. Look at how large our Oort cloud is compared to the rest of the solar system or look at how far the outer planets are apart compared to inner ones You could slice off half of that 50k light year radius and itd still make sense. Thats 24hr by Millennium falcon but we're talking a senator known for having very fast starships and the emperor moving in a hurry. Hyperspace travel is also restricted by the presence of hyperspace lanes which will make things difficult for a civilian like Han who doesn't know of those lanes. Palpatine knew of many secret hyperspace lanes within the galaxy and possessed the force along with near instantaneous communication throughout the galaxy allowing him to open up straight shots with no traffic I'd say between 6hrs and 24hrs is fair given the circumstances. It really doesnt matter how long it took the emperor though since it's well established that dark side users can survive indefinitely after suffering mortal wounds just due to sheer anger and rage. Palpatine couldve jaunced over there a week later and ani would still be kicking. Darth scion was nowhere near as powerful as Ani and he was pretty much a zombie by the end with thousands of breaks in his bones Padme and Obi wan couldve easily taken off while anikan was still in transit and landed right after anikan killed the council. Anikan also couldve chilled on mustafar for awhile after killing the council since he only had orders to go to mustafar but had not received orders to return. Vader mightve been needed elsewhere, so why go back after killing them? Palpatine was busy and unable to gives subsequent orders at the time. Time wasn't really a factor in either of those things even though it seems like it should be

@@TheManFromWaco star wars has always had a problem with scale but they explained the parsecs thing. The kessel run runs through the Maw cluster. Kessel is a spice mine planet and getting in there using the run allows smugglers to avoid more patrolled lanes. The maw is a series of black holes. Usually you have to navigate around each black hole. The closer you get to the black holes the harder it is on a ship. To make the run in only 12 parsecs means putting your ship under a lot of stress and requiring you to speed through very quickly

You sound kind of silly. Mace just saw three Jedi masters cut down and fought a Sith Master that's been right under their noses for decades.

Yes. It was Windu’s love for the Republic that forced *his* hand to arrest the Chancellor and later attempt killing him after he had *attacked and killed* 3 Jedi Masters.

mace could not have legally arrested palpatine and he realized that, he either had to kill him or lose

Agreed.

@@geetslys Emperor Geetsly, what a pleasant surprise

cin drallig 💯💯

@@sarinspit absolutely. I have read he used a youngling as a human shield to best him because he refused to strike while there was another who could be hurt but I am sure a few duels were vile Jedi picking up blasters and whatever else to survive using the force to just throw anything they could at the wave of blue coming at them

He hardly slept at all, in the novel it was mentioned that Anakin was severely sleep deprivated out of fear of being plauged by visions of his wife's death which made him even more delirious and hadn't been days, it had been weeks.

The Senate could use Force Lightning, and I think some would argue that a Sith/Dark Jedi is never truly unarmed since they can use the Force.

@@L1z43vr wow, I completely forgot that I made this comment. Anyways, I have remembered that Palpatine was hiding his lightsaber under his clothes all along. So technically, he wasn’t unarmed.

It's my Aussie flair.

Thank you! We put a lot of effort into them!

@@geetslys keep up the good work and remember us fans will always support and love your vids man! Stay safe

Wasn't he born on the day the Jedi fell rather than after?

Ezra was born on Empire Day, 2 days before Luke was born. The exact timing is unknown but that would place it sometime between Order 66 and when Yoda escaped from his duel with Palpatine.

He was ALWAYS the senate.

@@geetslys Is it possible to learn this power?

Not from a Parliament.

Nute Gunray is spineless. Yes, its really that simple. That's why Sidious "liked" him. Because he was a complete and total coward and would never go against Sidious.

Darth Nihilus

SO many things went wrong for Anakin to turn evil.

No real Star Wars fan did tbh.

I agree confusion would defanlty take hold, within days the end of the clone wars, Order 66 and the genoside against the Jedi and Palpatine declaring himself as emperor and the reorganisation of the galaxy into the Empire.

Not even a few minutes. Windu needed 30 extra seconds.

Would that be May 23rd in star wars terms?

I guess
