I liked Vader’s cold ass line “your wish of eternal could still come true.” Then shoved palps into a stasis pod that he could never escape from hahaha.

LOVE this. What if Palpatine had to reveal himself to the Jedi Council to join forces to fight a larger threat. The Vong? A returning Sith legend?

Vader becoming stronger with cybernetics always seemed interesting, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone take on the angle that he would make it looks the same.

Grevious: *dies* Vader: it's free real estate for my suit

Little correction : the executor Vader commands was only produced and given command to Darth Vader after the battle of Yavin

I love the way you've had Vader upgrade his suit, by utilizing Grevious' cybernetics! I can't help but wonder: What If this means of upgrading was done by Anakin Skywalker instead of Darth Vader? In other words, Vader returns to the light and then discovers the stash of Grevious' surplus cybernetics on Kaleesh? What would that cybernetic version of Anakin look and act like?

A brain, eyeballs and lungs floating in bacta seems like a RoboCop movie to me

I really feel that Vader would NOT have killed the head scientists and doctors that did the surgery to upgrade his suit. Why you ask, because in the event something went wrong, or he had some sort of damage or malfunction to his body and suit, the doctors and scientists would have had a HUGE value to Vader.

The less flesh, the less connection he has with the Force.. he'd never do that.

What if Vader cloned himself new legs and arms and told Palpatine he looked like his burned nut bag?

What if palpatine used his second saber against windu after losing his first?

IIRC Palpatine eventually got around to designing and building a far better set of cybernetics and suit for Darth Vader but he rejected them as the pain of his post-Mustafa cybernetics and suit motivated in the Dark Side.

THIS should have been cannon

I’ve been waiting for you to make this one, I’m so excited

I can't believe that you actually made Anakin's story even more heartbreaking... Moreover.... A complete and total extinction of heart and soul.

You been killing it lately! Your videos have become my bed time stories lol Here’s another cool idea. I’ve seen a couple of people request it but I would love to see how you would tell the story. What if Anakin was originally from the old republic era and was reborn with all his memories and abilities?

Bro this was so awesome and original. Nothing like anyone else in the best possible way

I love star wars fan fiction, and yours is honestly some of the very best. Thank you.

This isn’t just upgrading his suit, it’s just turning him into a droid lol

What if Anakin/Vader was born in a better environment one that is not bottom of the barrel nor poor nor rich nor wealthy but upper middle class in a healthy well mannered well behaved family be it on Tatooine or another planet?

What if The Republic at their strongest. Vs. The Empire at their strongest. Vs. The UNSC at their strongest. (They have all Their tec, personal and knowledge from before and after the human covenant war.) Vs. The Covenant at their strongest. (They too have all their tec and personal.) Note, there can’t be any internal conflict until one faction reigns supreme, or the flood enters the conflict.

Love it! I actually though I was listening to a novel at one point, and forgot this was fan-made

wow almost spilled my coffee after that one. keep em' coming.

I like this take, I personally think vader would come back to the light if he were to upgrade his armor, because the pain it was giving him was keeping him in the dark side. Without it and with palpatine dead/out of the picture I do think Anakin would've came back, maybe not as a light side only user but as a balanced being But the fact it could've made him go even deeper in the dark side is a possibility too and you explored it very well !

Great story, loved how Vader eliminated the inquisitors and took their ship and surprising Palpatine and putting him into stasis and taking over the empire for himself

Suggestion: What If the Empire came across the iconic grey aliens and their UFOs?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="183">3:03</a> imagine he said getting groceries as well in the middle of all that other stuff I know it's serious story kind of, but that would be so hilarious saying Vader just going to the local grocery store, getting some fruits and vegetables and probably some steak and ewok meat. You know just the usuals. Maybe having to stop by the pharmacy and get a little blue pill for Uncle palps

What if ROTJ Vader went back in time and woke up in his 8 year old body during phantom menace? So basically a redeemed Vader at the end of his life wakes up as ani with all the memories he had as a former Sith Lord

Wouldn't that make him less powerful? Like how he's less powerful when his limbs were cut off...

Your what ifs are good. You should easily be in the 100s of k subs.

Totally cool loved all the different exciting twist and turns especially that Palpatine’s arms are broken and he’s in stasis so he just always in pain and locked up and can’t do nothing about it just like Vader was always in pain

Fav youtuber bro keep it up

This was a absolutely amazing video, I never really knew that the he had pain in his old suit and this affected his behavior and choices. Absolutely amazing

Dude. This was great. Thank you.

This was truly heartwarming!!

This is so horribly great! Damn dude, you’re an amazing screenwriter!

Your Video is SO good that I'm Amazed. Thanx !

Fricken awesome!! This needs to be a movie, could be a what if production

Seems shortsighted to kill your technical support team immediately after waking up

This was incredible!

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.

This was freaking 🔥

this would make a great what if .. episode. great job, really enjoyed it

What if darth vader went to darthomir to learn. New suit or perhaps more unique powers. Resurrect talzin maybe. what if Vokara Che became a mentor to anakin as anakin was being treated for bullying and trauma from being a slave. What if anakin fell in love with luminara unduli, serra keto or bultar swan. What if anakin was taught by agen kolar or sasee tin or adi gallia.

Okay this story is very good I did enjoy it I do wish it was a lot longer I hope you come back and make it part 2 and keep up the good work

This was a good one, I always appreciate OT Vader oriented what ifs. Also, what if Anakin was found by Death watch?

Here are my ideas day 15 of asking: What if Cal and Merrin had a Daughter (Jedi Nightsister hybrid)? What if Padme was enslaved during the clone wars? What if during the rescue of Han Solo Leia failed to kill Jabba and was left behind remaining as a slave? What if Din Djarain and Bo-Katan fell in love during the events of Mando season 3? What if Luke and Leia found out they were siblings earlier (like before Empire strikes back?)? Similar to the previous one, what if Luke and Leia were not separated at brith and were both raised by Owen and Baru? What if Jyn Erso survived and went on to meet and fall in love with Luke Skywalker? What if Ahsoka found Shin Hatie before Baylon Skoll? What if the Aldani Heist went fully according to plan aka the whole payroll was stolen from under the Imperial noses?

If Vader underwent a cybernetic overhaul of this extent, he'd lose another massive chunk of his midichlorians. He already lost over half from his initial Mustafar injuries, and the overhaul you're suggesting would be even more extreme and devastating. Discarding his skeleton, muscles, most of his blood vessels, what remains of his skin and presumably a bunch of non-vital but still living organs that contain midichlorians. Regardless of how physically powerful and fast this overhaul could make Vader, he'd likely be weaker in the force than even a middling jedi knight (perhaps even a below average one). Against an opponent such as Sidious who can and definitely would use force powers to dominate such an opponent, that poses a big problem for Vader. Sidious could force choke Dooku, someone who wasn't worlds away from Sidious' own power. This hypothetical Vader would get destroyed. Even if he was resistant against lightning somehow, Sidious still has telekinesis and crushing moves. A suit upgrade for Vader would only be useful if it preserved all of his remaining flesh to ensure his connection to the force remains intact. And even then, it's not a guarantee that he could take out someone as OP as Sidious.

April's fools ideas: What if Anakin had actually heard the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis? What if the Jedi Council were actually all Sith Lords, with Sidious being the "true" Jedi Grand Master, his Grand Plan to uncover the Sith Threat? What if Darth Jar Jar? What if R2 was actually the Dark Lord of the Sith?

Vader in Beskar armor. Cool.

Outstanding. Great 'What If' !

Looking foward to this. Also I have a what if suggestion… What if Obi wan fell into the lava the lava after cutting Anakin down? Say like the momentum of his swing caused him to slip falling into the lava banks beside Anakin? It’s far fetched but would make an interesting story I think

Damn this was dark but I need these stories and the good ones so I can achieve balance

What if Abeloth escaped the Maw and returned during the clone wars

What if Revan returned during The Phantom Menace? What if Satele returned during the Phantom Menace and trained Anakin? What if Satele returned during The Empire Strikes Back and trained Luke? What if Plo Koon was sent to fight Grievous?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="951">15:51</a> in this moment, the king felt true fear for the first time

What If Luke Skywalker traveled back in time to save Padmé Amidala?

Is nice to see Ahmed Best. He deserves everything after the hell he went through.

What if instead of Padme royal double dying it was her?

This was definitely different him using grievous cybernetics 🔥🔥🔥

Awesome star wars video it was very awesome I really enjoy watching your star wars videos

Great work I really like it

He could have become the chosen one as predicted and aside from going through with this upgrade he chose to become emperor of a cult of Sith, but one question remains what of his children's destinies and the legacy of the Jedi has this changed so much or is there new hope, and if Anakin is dead no longer part of Vader's spirit or mind where did he go? Maybe Anakin became a Forse Ghost or something similar in the blackness of Vader's imagination a ghost in the machine, not his brain but in his armour. Anakin is in the form of Vader's nightmares. Anakin is as powerful as his darker side as Vader is weakened when he sleeps. While he sleeps Anakin is in his body or the remains of what's left. It's Anakin's curse on Vader. Through the foresee anything Anakin is a master of dreams.

I have a similar concept idea. Vader goes into the unknown regions and is captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and rebuilt with organic tech. Think u could do a story like that?

Alot of room for a part 2 in the future

Can you do a whole series starting from this episode? It is such a great start to a whole series with Darth Vader as an emperor

Ironically you are the last person among your colleagues (Pentre Patrol, and Fantasy Folklore) to do this. Fantasy Folklore is my favorite. Though yours is good Day 55 of my list. What if; Anakin never gave into his feelings for Padme, Aayla Secura was the chosen one and became Darth Talon, Shme Skywalker was adopted by the Tusken Raiders, Boba Fett saved his Tusken family, Count Dooku was a regular count for the CIS, Jabba the Hutt supported the Jedi at the Start of the Clone Wars, and finally, what if Sabine and Ezra fell in love?

Dude ur amazing actually this story should be done as a movie actually

I wish there was a "Star Wars, What if" like marvel universe did. I would love to see this animated. Great story.

He's more machine now than man, twisted and evil

I never considered doing this but I had thoughts like this since the 80s.

What if Darth Vader found the sith eternal and got healed back to his old self including both hands during a new hope?

What if Mace Windu after losing to Palpatine was teleported by the force to the time of A New Hope? What if Palpatine grew to actually love Anakin like a son during the clone wars?

What if Darth Vader learn Force heal (light side ability)

What if Ahsoka killed Grievous while protecting the Jedi Younglings

What if Palpatine's punishment was Vader downgrading his old suit, maiming him and placing him in the old suit and finally placing him in the stasis pod as revenge for all he did to him?

Or here's a "what if", What IF Revenge of the Sith went the way Dooku thought it was going to go. In the book version written by Matthew Stover Dooku and Palpatine are talking about what's to come as they see Anakin and Obi-wan on video making their way to them. The "plan" was Dooku would kill Obi-wan, the grief of it would draw Anakin closer to the dark side. He would "defeat" Dooku and eventually it would come out that the Jedi were behind the war. Anakin would be the one to break the news to the Senate and the Galaxy at large. Palpatine had planned it perfectly making him the "Hero with No Fear" that people around the galaxy loved. He was to become the "general" of the new empire's force army made from those Jedi that would convert, all others would be hunted down and killed. He even talks about how Anakin losing his hand to Dooku made him "perfect" as the people saw what he was willing to sacrifice to save everybody. Imagine a Empire ruled by Palpatine, Dooku sort of in a Vice Chair role and Vader with no injuries other than the hand already lost leading the military!!!!

Look how powerful grievous was with his cybernetics they upgraded his suit and cybernetics. He would’ve been unstoppable from anyone in the Star Wars universe.

I will try again, what if obi wan asked bokatan for help to hide luke

What if Vader rebuild the Sith Empire in secret?

This would be a badass animation

what if sidious told the republic he was a sith when he was elected it isnt illegal to be a sith and i think it would be very interesting

Grounding strips in his suits would have addressed the force lighting weakness.

Here’s an idea I keep having. Vader hires scientists to begin making physically superior clones of himself, and begins having organ replacement surgeries done until he’s back to 100%. With the tech of Star Wars it would have been easy. Hell, he could even clone Padme

Awww I was hoping for a more brutal ending. Might I suggest the Idea? Darth vader after beating the emperor, drags him through the flames of the explosion, chops all four of his limbs off and places a just barely surviving burnt sidious into a suit as fail as his was, so he could feel the same torment.

inadvertently killed his own kids. The Darkest Timeline

I really enjoyed this video.

It would be really interesting to see this if vader did not bombard tatooine and instead hunted down obi wan on the planet, possibly causing obi wan to sacrifice himself so a younger luke could escape the planet, creating an alternate original trilogy.

I was playing angry birds Star Wars and the text that said in a galaxy far far away lined up perfectly up with your voice

What if the imperial military turned rogue against the empire Itself.

What if the bendu trained anakin? I think that would be interesting

Oh!! Can’t wait

I find it interesting that in this path Vader kills everything that was Anakin's including his children without knowing it. Now I do believe that he would eventually be overthrown, perhaps by another chosen one(maybe this timeline's Ezra, Sabine, Finn, Rey, Grogu) or by Anakin resurfacing through his Dreams !

Firstly they would need a suit to fix his breathing so he could be stealthy maybe replacing his lungs with cybernetic lungs , secondary the suit should be opti camflauge and light saber resistant (using bounty hunter metal it exists) and electricty and blaster proof, The suit would need to be made lighter (the emperor intentionally made sure it was heavy to screw anikin more). His hands should be removalable to reval a cannon that shoots out vaders force lighting (by being a cannon shape it would make the lightning more like a blaster bolt). Vader should have cybernetic brain chip to enhance his ability to focus on multiple objects at the same time so he can use the force on more objects allowing complex telekenisis

Great way to generate more sympathy for Vader and then twist the ending! Good job!

This would make a good movie. Like between a New Hope and Empire strikes back before he knew he had children 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

That look at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="649">10:49</a>, woo, that one would be pretty wild to see.

What if Anakin joined the Jedi Order however barely anyone (of course Qui Gon even though he still dies, Obiwan, Sidious/The Sith are the ones that do believe) actually believe he's "the chosen one" So I guess the title would "What if barely anyone thought Anakin was the chosen one"

I always wondered what would happen if Dooku never turned to the dark side

Loved Vader ending up as the final Jedi/Sith. Killing everyone but leaving Palpatine alive to see him finally loose
