What if palpatine or someone else had reformed the Republic so that there were checks & balances similar to a parliamentary system checking a prime minister/political leader (cabinet can remove pm, party can remove pm for not following party manifesto, parliament can remove for confidence vote, and in constitutional events the figurehead president/monarch/chief justice could remove the pm).
Anakin: "I think Chancellor Palpatine is not a Sith Lord." Mace: _"Not_ a Sith Lord?" Anakin: " No, he's not the one we've been looking for. " Mace: "...Well, that's good, then." Anakin: "I agree, it's a great relief."
Anakin - It's absolutely not him master Windu Mace Windu - Only a sith deals in absolutes IGNITES SABER YOU ARE THE SITH LORD WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL ALONG Anakin - Is he fucking serious 🤦♂️
Thats a pretty big 180 on his personality. I was expecting him to still be an evil genius and it coincidentally caused all the jedi to suspect him to be a sith the entire time but he's just was a very power hungry man.
It could've gone that way easily. Though growing up with so much negativity could've fueled him or dissuaded him from that. The latter interested me more for this story though :)
@@PentePatrolStarWars In fact, in certain circumstances, his lack of connection to the Force could make him more dangerous. Much more dangerous. The dark side, of course, gave him extraordinary abilities, but it also eroded him over time. This is seen in the sixth episode - a twisted creature oozing darkness. This is even more obvious in the Dark Empire - his bodies decay faster than he manages to make new ones, and nothing remains of the personality of this man who once pulled off one of the greatest gambits in the history of the galaxy and built a mighty state on a galactic scale. Now he is not a fanatic, and is devoid of Sith prejudice. In addition, he could follow the path of the Sith without the use of the Force. It could look like: "I'm certainly not a force user, but these guys had a sensible philosophy of life and power." It is possible that he could very well pull off the Clone Wars gambit again. Moreover, if he could start in a "partnership" with Plagueis and his apprentice (whoever he/she was) - he could be useful to them in the political arena, perhaps as a chancellor, but then he could turn against them and even take the side of the Jedi ( if I would consider them more profitable / reliable at the moment). Since he is no longer shackled by Sith prejudices and can calmly take the side of those who are beneficial to him. (At the same time, by the way, he could try to get Plagueis's research results to try to use them in the future) A possible cooperation/opposition with Dooku would also be interesting. Who could even leave the order, but not become a Sith (or become under the influence of the same Plagueis, but still the first option is much more interesting). They could become productive partners (Dooku, for all his skills and ideas, but with a more reserved temperament and more open eyes, would also be much more dangerous.) So are serious opponents. There are many options, but this one would be one of the most interesting for me. I would like to see him as a fully assembled, ice-cold mastermind. Colder than Hoth and more practical than Chiss. "Now this is no longer a story about the "Great Revenge of the Sith!" or "Worship the dark side!" . Not "Bringing Balance to the Force!" or "Search the chosen one." - after all, it's all so petty in the end. Power - absolute power.

Mace Windu: The Senate will decide your fate Palpatine: I AM THE SENATE Mace Windu: Not yet! Palpatine: It's treason then. *crickets* Palpatine: What were you expecting? Mace Windu: For you to pull out a red lightsaber, scream and do a 720 corkscrew. Palpatine: Wat.
I think an interesting scenario can be what if the Empire never became evil ? With Palpatine trying to be good toward the galaxy by, for example, never dissolved the imperial Senate, use clone instead of soldiers. And for conclusion, what if Palpatine just tried to industrialise more the Galaxy and increase the living standard while preserving peace ?
Or what if Palpatine made the Empire act humane as a strategic tactic to make people not rebel and keep him in control. Palpatine would still be evil but he would use good to maintain his hold on the Galexy
I like the idea, but I'd recommend one tweak: Instead of just using clones instead of conscripts, what if he utilized both clones and recruits together?
@CODBO3RGM3 The idea Is that palpatine use clone to make a little professional army after the galactic civil war instead of distupting the galactic economy with massive recruitments. But the main idea of this scenario it's what if Palpatine get a different approach to how to rule and keep power and instead of trying to act like a tyrant. Let the planets keep autonomy, keep the the Galactic Senate keep some power as long as they don't try to overthrow him (the galactic Senate rule effiently the galaxy during the hight Republic and the Republic, there is no need for Palpatine to decrease to much it's power as long as it efficienctly rule). For trying to make is Empire stable and richer on the long term, to allow him to remain in power, because richer is the Empire, greater is the Palpatine power. In this scenario Palpatine is still a sith Lord. And project like death star still happen, just latter for not impacting to much the galactic economy and openly present as a peace keeper project. And here Palpatine can try to develop social programs to do a bread and games approach, while increasing the industrial base of Empire to increase the numbers of goods on the galactic markets. By for example use fully mechanise factories who can products goods without the need of worker (in this scenario it is also possible that Palpatine to increase the loyalty of the Empire citizens, but still enslave part of the Empire population for fuelling the new living standart). Also Empire try to expand using primary diplomacy but will still in some case use force, but not to much for not impacting the economy. In this scenario the Empire try to be as efficient as he can by not trying to control everything. That's my scenario of a "good" Empire.
@@imperiumgallicum What I meant is that the clones are still produced and the Kaminoans are still cloning. But at the same time Palpatine allows citizens to join the ranks if they so wish. So, for example, the Stormtrooper corps would be made up of both clones from Kamino and citizen recruits who wanted to serve their Emperor.
What if Anakin turned back during the Jedi Purge at the Temple? Seeing all his fellow friends die because of him and for nothing, it could have made him reassess the situation
I watched a Stupendous Wave video about why Anakin’s eyes didn’t turn yellow during the Jedi Purge at the Temple is because he didn’t take any pleasure in it, so I think that it would be really interesting to see what might’ve happened if Anakin turned back
Here is an idea. What if Anakin doesn't fully fall when he saves Palpy from Windu. When Windu gets defenestrated by Sith Lighting Palpy is riding high on victory juice. So here is the scenario. He is so convinced of his ultimate victory that when he orders Anakin to slaughter everyone at the Temple children includes and Anakin objects, he chalks this to insubordination and not to Anakin not fully being in the throes of the Dark Side and punishes him. He then sends Anakin out. On the way to the Temple Anakin realizing just how much fecal matter has impacted the rotary impeller, he warns the Jedi at the Temple with a quick message. As he and the Clone troopers approach and he tries to figure out how to resolve this disaster, he experiences a frozen moment of time and experiences flashes of the Empire's reign, the atrocities of the First Order and comes to a realization. His obsessive desire to save Padme have doomed trillions of innocent people. In that moment, with a heavy mind and much pain and regret he lets it all go. His fears for Padme and their child. His guilt at betraying Windu. Everything. Instead, he realizes what he must do and that is to save as many as people in the Temple that he can in order to minimize the damage to the Order as best he can. So he turns to the Clone Troopers, their gear and sinks deep into the Force as much as he can and does the Force equivalent of a (Naruto Manga) Shinra Tensai shoving with all his might the clone troopers and gear sieging the temple. He then proceeds to lead an epic defense of the Temple that save the lives of hundreds within, though not without severe injury. Ultimately, through his efforts much of the Order at the Temple are saved. Eventually, the dust settles and Obi-Wan and Yoda return to the Jedi Temple among other survivors. Since Anakin is currently in a med bay being treated for injuries, Yoda and Obi-Wan confront Palpatine together and in an epic battle manage to kill the bastard before he can fully seat himself. After the dust settles, Anakin tells them everything holding nothing back, including why he was so desperate (namely he didn't want a repeat of the loss of his mother) and what he did to the Tusken Raiders all those years ago. The only question is what happens next? I can think of two scenarios here. One where Mace Windu survives his impromptu trip through the Coruscant skyline and one in which he doesn't. At this point, the worst thing Anakin has done is attack Mace Windu, which is an extremely bad thing to have done (in both scenarios, Anakin has confessed to this prior to Mace Windu returning to the Temple if he survives). On the other hand, he didn't murder the younglings, led a heroic defense of the Jedi Temple saving much of the Order, as well as warned them in advance, so they weren't caught totally unaware. He also isn't responsible for Order 66 being drafted, though he could be indirectly blamed for Palpatine having the opportunity to implement it.
@@MonCappyin canon yes in legends this would doom the galaxy as there wouldn’t be a military to fight off the far outsiders aka the VONG and we all know it as the republic most certainly wouldn’t believe thrawn until it was too late or the second Is they do but by the time they build up it wouldn’t be enough to stop the vong Keep in mind some of there ships took the death star in order to even crack a single ship
Palpatine being good is surprisingly impressive, and he is the immense good of the Star Wars universe, where he saves the Republic instead of destroying it. Excellent storytelling Mr. Penete Patrol. You did a good job and made another masterpiece, and I have a question. Does Anakin join the Jedi Order or remain a citizen? Anyway, this a fine work, my friend. Keep up the fantastic work and may the force be with you and spread the love, brother!
That was wholesome! I enjoyed his change of heart! Considering he wasn't trained by Plagueis, he would most likely be able to control his anger. And yet, he was a genius and in the end, he would still be able to become the Chancellor, I have no doubt of that. He probably would be really eager to fight the crime lords and prevent the separatist movement. Grandiose video! Can't wait for more!
What if Jocasta Nu was secretly working for the sith and befriended Anakin on the first day of meeting him and was a grandmotherly icon for him and she saw Anakin as the closest thing to a grandson to her?
I've some ideas for What If: - What if Palpatine wasn't elected the chancellor of the Republic in Phantom Menace? - What if Anakin's bombing run managed to kill Grievous on Malevolence - What if it was Saw and not Steela who died on Onderon? - What if Tarkin died in the Citadel meaning there would be no Tarkin Doctrine for the Empire? - What if Qi'ra joined the Galactic Empire with Han perhaps becoming an ISB agent?
This is really interesting. And to be honest, I even feel bad for Palpatine. He is a really great. Wise. Smart. And Charismatic Character, but his Powerful as a Sith In The Star Wars Prequels was only shown in his battle with the Jedi Council. With Mace. And with Yoda. Palpatine himself as a character in the Star Wars Prequels was created if was to be the worst enemy of the Jedi. Galaxy. And the Republic. And to became the tempting serpent for Anakin, like Melkor was be the tempting serpent for Mairon in The Lord Of The Rings. Palpatine could learn cruelty. And indifference from Cosinga. And If add to Cosinga's Upbringing. To Cosinga's Influence. To Cosinga's Personality. And to Cosinga's Attitude, is also the young age of Palpatine, in which he began to learn the Negative Sith Influence, after the death of his family, who, was killed by Palpatine himself, then it is not surprising that Palpatine could ather turn into real evil in future. Because, before how to become a Plagueis's Apprentice Palpatine on the one hand, had a father who, always hated him. And had a mother from he apparently never knew. And never did not receive Maternal Love. Maternal Care. And Maternal Affection, unlike, Anakin who, knew. And was getting this from Shmi. This can be said to make Palpatine in some ways similar to the Tom Riddle From Harry Potter, who, never knew. And did not receive Parental Love. Parental Care. And Parental Affection from his parents.
Oooh this could be fun to play with. Especially with the whole Clone Wars, Satine being a pacifist. There could be a whole bunch of pacifist Mandalorians who are extremely powerful and desirable to both the republic and sepratists
What if Anakin was elected Supreme Chancellor during the clone wars? What if Count Dooku went to Mortis when Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ashoka went? What if Sabine Wren was force sensitive? What if Luke fell in love with Sabine Wren? What if Luke fell in love with Jyn Erso? What if Obi-Wan and Luke hire Din Djarin instead of Han Solo to take them to Alderan? What if Din djarin joined the Rebel alliance? What if Anakin and Padme adopted Hera Syndulla? What if Anakin and Padme adopted Omega? What if Anakin and Padme adopted Din Djarin?
Can a Sith be good? As far as I’ve seen the Sith were always evil beings. But can a Sith chose to use their power in much of the same way as the Jedi do? Can they in fact chose to use the Dark Side to protect and serve the innocent? I always thought it was a personal choice for them to be the boogeyman hiding in the shadows. It’d be interesting to see a Sith that kept much of the same values as the Jedi but would also be willing to “permanently” end a threat to peace in the galaxy.
A great idea and a great fic. Palpatine even without being Force sensitive is a type of man that can bring a great change whether it be positive or negative. In canon it was obviously negative since he ovethrew 2 republics, created and destroyed the CIS, destroyed the Jedi Order twice and started several galaxy wide wars. However in this story it was a positive one since he reformed the Republic and made it much better. I wonder what happened to other people not mentioned in this fic. Padme could still become a senator but this time she would join as an admirerer/potential successor of Palpatine, Bail and other good senators would thrive while many canon separatist senators like Mina Bonteri would be ardent republicans. Dooku would also never leave the Jedi and Yaddle would live and Maul's life would be much more pleasant even if it would still be challenging at the start. But Ventress would still be stuck on Rattatak and Anakin would still probably be stuck on Tatooine unless some different event put him on Jedi's radar. If he would ever be born at all.
It's nice to see Palpatine not only on the winning side, but in a wholesome light. I haven't seen one of these since the what if Palpatine cared about Anakin video. I must have missed the Palpatine being a Jedi Master video. Gotta go back and watch that.
Hear a idea that similar but could be fun. What if Palpatine was a just a dark force user wanting to do good and Dark Sidious was a different person. Hope your conscience it. Also thanks for a great what if so hears Super Thanks
Amazing! I never thought of the holes in the republic, I knew it wasn’t perfect but you pointed out the ways Palpatine could have improved everything and the ways he made things worse in canon to further his plans
A Revamped list I compiled and edited/updated. Love you stories btw! -What if Ashoka redeemed Anakin on Malachor? -What if Sidious and Palpatine were separate people? -What if Luke and Leia Grew up on Tatooine? -What if Luke and Leia Grew up on Alderean? -What if Thawn was a Republic General? -What if both Skywalker Twins joined the Empire? -What if Vader won the Darksaber becoming Mandalore? -What if Anakin/Vader became a Double Agent after RotS, playing the Long Game like the Rebel Thawn fic -What if Sidious abolished the Rule of Two when he made the Empire and recruited more Sith? -What if Tenebre/Vitiate/Valkorion returned by themselves in the Movie timeline in the vein of Darth Jar Jar fic? -What if Maul finally realized that Sidious was his true enemy and teamed up with Obi-Wan? -What if Vader figured out how to use the World between Worlds by himself? -What if Sidious and a Redeemed Vader survived RotJ? -What if Vader killed Sidious in RotJ but wasn't Redeemed Leading the Imperial Remnant? -What if Sidious was killed towards the beginning reign of the Empire? -What if Starkiller(Light Side) survived and trained the Skywalker Twins? -What if Lord Starkiller(Dark Side) took Vader's place(after killing him in DS Ending) and took his place in the Original Trilogy(ignoring DLC)? Faction -What if Legends New Republic/New Jedi fought against the First Order? -What if the Empire kept the Clones and treated them fairly? -What if Vader and Thawn started an Imperial Rebellion separate from the Rebels? -What if the Empire was Good and the Rebels were Evil? -What if the Sith Empire returned during the Galactic Civil War? -What if the Old Republic returned during the Galactic Civil War? -What if the Eternal Empire returned during the Galactic Civil War?
Honestly this story is... one of the more interesting ones of which I personally kinda like in a way. A fair amount of the stories directly involving Palpatine during the prequel trilogy are honestly pretty good.
I've just finished watching this video and the one about Palpatine becoming a Jedi. It would have been nice, I think, if both videos were combined; that is, If identical twin sons were born into the Palpatine family, one (Sheev) was Force-sensitive, would be abandoned by his father because of it (as Dooku was), be found by a Jedi and would be raised as one of them, the other (his brother that I have no name for), would not be Force-sensitive, his upbringing making him want to be better than his family, causing him to work hard to become first senator of Naboo, and eventually Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, all the while genuinely helping the people of the galaxy. Also, I would love to see a serious version (if that's even possible) of your What If Anakin LOVED Sand video (which I thought was hilarious)!
What can I say? Another absolutely BRILLIANT episode. You had me guessing where you were taking Palpatine the entire time. It was a breath of fresh air. I give thanks for the day that I stumbled upon your channel a couple of months ago. Many x’s many times. You and I think very much alike. We like to see the whole board. And then see alternatives to what might seem obvious. But which is only one option among any. I sincerely congratulate you on your amazing work, the amount of effort you put in to your scripts which are Flawless. And your delivery is also TOP TIER‼️ Keep doing the amazing work‼️ I would love to just sit around and pick your brain just shoot the shit. And I am very impressed by you. I’m also very proud of you. It takes a great deal of confidence, imagination, determination, and free spirit to be able to develop scripts that are so, outside of what we know is Lucas’ is Mythology‼️ Icy L♥️VE to Y😊U and any collaborators, you may have working with you, though I feel like this is all you.
19:30 "At this point, since his assassination, Palpatine would be followed and protected..." There wouldn't be any point in protecting a politician AFTER their assassination. He would be dead. Assassination implies it was successful. You can't leave out the word attempted.
I don’t have any specific ideas at the moment, but I’d love something with the Nightsisters (since they are just awesome). Maybe it could involve the Ones as well because the Nightsister deities are them (according to Wookieepedia anyway).
What if Darth Sidious was a Jedi Master on the high council? Palpatine was remarkably gifted at concealing his darkness from the Jedi, what if he hid right in their midst, undermining the Jedi from within the jedi Council rather than the senate?
A "Gilded Age" is generally not a good thing. It represents things that are shiny and glamorous, but ultimately hollow, fake and without substance. It means things look better than they really are, as gilded just means gold-plated, not real gold. A gilded age is a cheap copy of a golden age.
In the original script for Star Wars Palpatine wasn't a Sith lord, He was just a corrupt power hungry politician that ended up seizing power and declaring himself Emperor but later ended up being the puppet of the military. Basically the Republic was so broken and corrupt that it became an Empire on its own.
@Orbit well much less violent/evil without the dark side. Maybe more of a king figure or even just president than a dictator. So much less reason for a popular revolution
This story was so freaking cool and it was really great to see the infallible Palpatine use his competence and abilities for good in the galaxy and what that did for the galaxy.
TLDW: He becomes an nice guy and fixes everything. What if Steela Gerrera survived? What if Anakin was birthed by Abeloth? What if Anakin died to torture? (I don't know what you mean. -Dooku) What if Captian Tarkin died at the citadel? What if Anakin was born a women? Kendall Skywalker. What if Asajj Ventress and the Nightsisters successfully assassinated Dooku?
this story highlights just how politically smart Palpatine was. no force but almost could of bin said to be the chosen one to bring Balance to the galaxy

So he turns to the Clone Troopers, their gear and sinks deep into the Force as much as he can and does the Force equivalent of a (Naruto Manga) Shinra Tensai shoving with all his might the clone troopers and gear sieging the temple. He then proceeds to lead an epic defense of the Temple that save the lives of hundreds within, though not without severe injury. Ultimately, through his efforts much of the Order at the Temple are saved.
Eventually, the dust settles and Obi-Wan and Yoda return to the Jedi Temple among other survivors. Since Anakin is currently in a med bay being treated for injuries, Yoda and Obi-Wan confront Palpatine together and in an epic battle manage to kill the bastard before he can fully seat himself. After the dust settles, Anakin tells them everything holding nothing back, including why he was so desperate (namely he didn't want a repeat of the loss of his mother) and what he did to the Tusken Raiders all those years ago.
The only question is what happens next? I can think of two scenarios here. One where Mace Windu survives his impromptu trip through the Coruscant skyline and one in which he doesn't. At this point, the worst thing Anakin has done is attack Mace Windu, which is an extremely bad thing to have done (in both scenarios, Anakin has confessed to this prior to Mace Windu returning to the Temple if he survives). On the other hand, he didn't murder the younglings, led a heroic defense of the Jedi Temple saving much of the Order, as well as warned them in advance, so they weren't caught totally unaware. He also isn't responsible for Order 66 being drafted, though he could be indirectly blamed for Palpatine having the opportunity to implement it.
@@MonCappyin canon yes in legends this would doom the galaxy as there wouldn’t be a military to fight off the far outsiders aka the VONG and we all know it as the republic most certainly wouldn’t believe thrawn until it was too late or the second
Is they do but by the time they build up it wouldn’t be enough to stop the vong
Keep in mind some of there ships took the death star in order to even crack a single ship
Palpatine being good is surprisingly impressive, and he is the immense good of the Star Wars universe, where he saves the Republic instead of destroying it. Excellent storytelling Mr. Penete Patrol. You did a good job and made another masterpiece, and I have a question. Does Anakin join the Jedi Order or remain a citizen? Anyway, this a fine work, my friend. Keep up the fantastic work and may the force be with you and spread the love, brother!
That was wholesome! I enjoyed his change of heart! Considering he wasn't trained by Plagueis, he would most likely be able to control his anger. And yet, he was a genius and in the end, he would still be able to become the Chancellor, I have no doubt of that. He probably would be really eager to fight the crime lords and prevent the separatist movement. Grandiose video! Can't wait for more!
I'm so glad you enjoyed!
What if Jocasta Nu was secretly working for the sith and befriended Anakin on the first day of meeting him and was a grandmotherly icon for him and she saw Anakin as the closest thing to a grandson to her?
I've some ideas for What If:
- What if Palpatine wasn't elected the chancellor of the Republic in Phantom Menace?
- What if Anakin's bombing run managed to kill Grievous on Malevolence
- What if it was Saw and not Steela who died on Onderon?
- What if Tarkin died in the Citadel meaning there would be no Tarkin Doctrine for the Empire?
- What if Qi'ra joined the Galactic Empire with Han perhaps becoming an ISB agent?
The title of this one should have been "what if palpatine actually loved democracy"
This is a interesting What If indeed. Sidious being someone else like the Jedi thought
This is really interesting. And to be honest, I even feel bad for Palpatine. He is a really great. Wise. Smart. And Charismatic Character, but his Powerful as a Sith In The Star Wars Prequels was only shown in his battle with the Jedi Council. With Mace. And with Yoda. Palpatine himself as a character in the Star Wars Prequels was created if was to be the worst enemy of the Jedi. Galaxy. And the Republic. And to became the tempting serpent for Anakin, like Melkor was be the tempting serpent for Mairon in The Lord Of The Rings. Palpatine could learn cruelty. And indifference from Cosinga. And If add to Cosinga's Upbringing. To Cosinga's Influence. To Cosinga's Personality. And to Cosinga's Attitude, is also the young age of Palpatine, in which he began to learn the Negative Sith Influence, after the death of his family, who, was killed by Palpatine himself, then it is not surprising that Palpatine could ather turn into real evil in future. Because, before how to become a Plagueis's Apprentice Palpatine on the one hand, had a father who, always hated him. And had a mother from he apparently never knew. And never did not receive Maternal Love. Maternal Care. And Maternal Affection, unlike, Anakin who, knew. And was getting this from Shmi. This can be said to make Palpatine in some ways similar to the Tom Riddle From Harry Potter, who, never knew. And did not receive Parental Love. Parental Care. And Parental Affection from his parents.
What if Mandalore had its own Force Order?
Great idea everybody like this!
May the Way be with you
Oooh this could be fun to play with. Especially with the whole Clone Wars, Satine being a pacifist. There could be a whole bunch of pacifist Mandalorians who are extremely powerful and desirable to both the republic and sepratists
then the jedi would have destroyed it during the war because they had had republic help
Loved seeing Palpatine in a grand, golden light, a simple aspect could change a dark heart to the brightest of them all.
The title crawl: *finishes*
Immediately after: *WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY GEORGE LUCAS*
What if Anakin was elected Supreme Chancellor during the clone wars?
What if Count Dooku went to Mortis when Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ashoka went?
What if Sabine Wren was force sensitive?
What if Luke fell in love with Sabine Wren?
What if Luke fell in love with Jyn Erso?
What if Obi-Wan and Luke hire Din Djarin instead of Han Solo to take them to Alderan?
What if Din djarin joined the Rebel alliance?
What if Anakin and Padme adopted Hera Syndulla?
What if Anakin and Padme adopted Omega?
What if Anakin and Padme adopted Din Djarin?
Most of these ideas are..... questionable, to put it lightly.
this was a sweet story, i love that you put a twist on the story and made Palpatine a force for good.
❤ this is something that I really like and having Palpatine being a regular person is a fresh perspective.😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed!
What if Dooku convinced Qui-gon to join him just before Qui-gon returned to Naboo
Can a Sith be good? As far as I’ve seen the Sith were always evil beings. But can a Sith chose to use their power in much of the same way as the Jedi do? Can they in fact chose to use the Dark Side to protect and serve the innocent? I always thought it was a personal choice for them to be the boogeyman hiding in the shadows. It’d be interesting to see a Sith that kept much of the same values as the Jedi but would also be willing to “permanently” end a threat to peace in the galaxy.
not what I was expecting, well done
I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Finally! I was waiting for this for so long!
What if the Sith practice the light side of the force but are still rivals to the Jedi
He did something quite similar a few months back, What if The Jedi & Sith switched roles.
Since Jedi Survivor is coming out tomorrow, do What if Eno Cordova trained Anakin Skywalker.
Beautiful idea it sticks to the idea and pays respect to the game.
A great idea and a great fic.
Palpatine even without being Force sensitive is a type of man that can bring a great change whether it be positive or negative.
In canon it was obviously negative since he ovethrew 2 republics, created and destroyed the CIS, destroyed the Jedi Order twice and started several galaxy wide wars.
However in this story it was a positive one since he reformed the Republic and made it much better.
I wonder what happened to other people not mentioned in this fic. Padme could still become a senator but this time she would join as an admirerer/potential successor of Palpatine, Bail and other good senators would thrive while many canon separatist senators like Mina Bonteri would be ardent republicans. Dooku would also never leave the Jedi and Yaddle would live and Maul's life would be much more pleasant even if it would still be challenging at the start.
But Ventress would still be stuck on Rattatak and Anakin would still probably be stuck on Tatooine unless some different event put him on Jedi's radar. If he would ever be born at all.
It's nice to see Palpatine not only on the winning side, but in a wholesome light. I haven't seen one of these since the what if Palpatine cared about Anakin video.
I must have missed the Palpatine being a Jedi Master video. Gotta go back and watch that.
What a dope path Palp took
What if Anakin became a politician (a senator and then chancellor) of the galactic republic ?
Great video PPSW.
I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Hear a idea that similar but could be fun. What if Palpatine was a just a dark force user wanting to do good and Dark Sidious was a different person. Hope your conscience it. Also thanks for a great what if so hears Super Thanks
Mace Windu: "A sith lord?"
Amazing! I never thought of the holes in the republic, I knew it wasn’t perfect but you pointed out the ways Palpatine could have improved everything and the ways he made things worse in canon to further his plans
I really do love this one great work
I'm so glad you enjoyed!

This has ro be one of your best videos yet. You've really improved over the past year or so sonce i started watching you.
Finally I’ve been waiting for this video on a channel and now it’s on this on 😂
Honestly this story is... one of the more interesting ones of which I personally kinda like in a way. A fair amount of the stories directly involving Palpatine during the prequel trilogy are honestly pretty good.
I've just finished watching this video and the one about Palpatine becoming a Jedi. It would have been nice, I think, if both videos were combined; that is, If identical twin sons were born into the Palpatine family, one (Sheev) was Force-sensitive, would be abandoned by his father because of it (as Dooku was), be found by a Jedi and would be raised as one of them, the other (his brother that I have no name for), would not be Force-sensitive, his upbringing making him want to be better than his family, causing him to work hard to become first senator of Naboo, and eventually Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, all the while genuinely helping the people of the galaxy.
Also, I would love to see a serious version (if that's even possible) of your What If Anakin LOVED Sand video (which I thought was hilarious)!
hmm...What if Anakin killed both Palpatine and Mace Windu during ROTS?
What can I say? Another absolutely BRILLIANT episode. You had me guessing where you were taking Palpatine the entire time. It was a breath of fresh air. I give thanks for the day that I stumbled upon your channel a couple of months ago. Many x’s many times.
You and I think very much alike. We like to see the whole board. And then see alternatives to what might seem obvious. But which is only one option among any. I sincerely congratulate you on your amazing work, the amount of effort you put in to your scripts which are Flawless. And your delivery is also TOP TIER‼️
Keep doing the amazing work‼️ I would love to just sit around and pick your brain just shoot the shit. And I am very impressed by you. I’m also very proud of you. It takes a great deal of confidence, imagination, determination, and free spirit to be able to develop scripts that are so, outside of what we know is Lucas’ is Mythology‼️
Icy L♥️VE to Y😊U and any collaborators, you may have working with you, though I feel like this is all you.
What if Obi wan wasn’t sent to utopa to deal with gerivious and remained on corusant to try to help anakin
Mas Amedda and Palpatine's other close friends and advisors:
"Now what do we do, go crazy?!"
Moff Tarkin: "Oh, get over yourself."
What if Vader managed to heal his injuries? But he kept it secret.
Wow... Midi-chlorians really messes people up, if Palpatine ending up like the original trilogy was anything to go by...
That was a very interesting twist on the villain of Star Wars.
What if Mother Telsin killed Dooku in Clone Wars
19:30
"At this point, since his assassination, Palpatine would be followed and protected..."
There wouldn't be any point in protecting a politician AFTER their assassination. He would be dead. Assassination implies it was successful. You can't leave out the word attempted.
i hope you keep posting these on your podcast on spotify
Best theory hands down. Palette at peace? Maul not tortured? Turn it into the sequel
You create good stories, keep up the good work!
I'm so glad you enjoy!
What if Dooku somehow got his youth restored
I don’t have any specific ideas at the moment, but I’d love something with the Nightsisters (since they are just awesome). Maybe it could involve the Ones as well because the Nightsister deities are them (according to Wookieepedia anyway).
Really liked this different look at Shev
Great job
What if Jocasta Nu trained Anakin Skywalker?
What if Dooku was never Force Sensitive?
What if Jocasta Nu left the Jedi Order with Dooku?
Qui Gon would get a new master, no general grievous, no battle of genosha, ect.
What if Yoda was raised as a Mandalorian force-user?
Lmao, I was watching for 7 minutes and asking myself "when does backstory end and the alternate scenario starts?"
What if shime skywalker was a mild force sensitive?
A cool idea for a What If would be “What If the Je-Di Order returned during the Clone Wars”. Kinda like the what if the Sith Empire returned idea.
the Je-Di order was doomed to fail because they sue the dark side George Lucas himself said the dark side is a cancer on the force
Now THIS is a Palpatine I'd vote for!
10/10 but what happens when Yuuzhan Vong show up?
What If Palpatine became a Pod Racer when he was young?
The only thing that doesn’t make sense is that piano at the end of these awesome videos the music is so dark and all of a sudden the go happy piano
Lmao, I made it on a whim like a year ago and it just stuck, might update it with something knew sometime XD
1:58 "She was a smart man" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"The galaxy is saved. Period. End of discussion. Untill... Jar Jar."
-Everyone clicking on the video's mind
What if Thrawn joined the republic (clone wars)rather than the empire
Love how Plagueis was the villain in this and Palpatine's intelligence was still fleshed out.
The palpatine in this universe is a cool guy. Idea what if Anakin had autism.idea number 2 what if Anakin become a Stormtrooper
What if Padme was a mandalorian
What if Darth Sidious was a Jedi Master on the high council? Palpatine was remarkably gifted at concealing his darkness from the Jedi, what if he hid right in their midst, undermining the Jedi from within the jedi Council rather than the senate?
So I guess Tenebrous survived bal’demnic?
What if there wasn't a sith at all, but the conflict of the clone wars happens anyways
What if Starkiller survived the events of the Force Unleashed 1 and aided the Rebel Alliance
They should hire Tom Hiddleston to play a Young Palpatine in a show or movie
Absolutely!
A "Gilded Age" is generally not a good thing. It represents things that are shiny and glamorous, but ultimately hollow, fake and without substance. It means things look better than they really are, as gilded just means gold-plated, not real gold. A gilded age is a cheap copy of a golden age.
Palpatine being the one true senate
What if instead of Anakin Skywalker, it's Jar Jar Binks born from the Force as the Choosen One?
What if Anakin returned during the sequels ? Would be interesting see what he would do if he somehow returned.
Wouldn't it be simpler to make him travel to the future through the "world between worlds" as Vader?
somehow, anakin returned
I'd like a version where he wants to posess the force and someone would exploit this desire and make him evil
Bro now you’re making me want Tom Hiddleston to play young Palpatine
In the original script for Star Wars Palpatine wasn't a Sith lord, He was just a corrupt power hungry politician that ended up seizing power and declaring himself Emperor but later ended up being the puppet of the military. Basically the Republic was so broken and corrupt that it became an Empire on its own.
Nothing would really change, he’d be a non force user dictator who outted the Jedi.
@Orbit well much less violent/evil without the dark side. Maybe more of a king figure or even just president than a dictator. So much less reason for a popular revolution
What if Vader went back to the clone wars
He did try that in Lego Star Wars Holiday Christmas Special.
@@Lemuel928you see it’s Lego, so that really doesn’t count.
21:27 sith laurd
Saw this comment as I heard him say it lol.
I’m just starting the video but now I’m curious who the main antagonist it
What if mace windu failed to kill Jango fett
This is actually a really cool story
If The bad batch killed saw gerrera
This story was so freaking cool and it was really great to see the infallible Palpatine use his competence and abilities for good in the galaxy and what that did for the galaxy.
TLDW: He becomes an nice guy and fixes everything.
What if Steela Gerrera survived?
What if Anakin was birthed by Abeloth?
What if Anakin died to torture? (I don't know what you mean. -Dooku)
What if Captian Tarkin died at the citadel?
What if Anakin was born a women? Kendall Skywalker.
What if Asajj Ventress and the Nightsisters successfully assassinated Dooku?
How true those words spoken about the job of politics 😂
7:39 So just like America...
Amazing
please redo what if palpatine was a jedi
Ooo that would be fun
this story highlights just how politically smart Palpatine was. no force but almost could of bin said to be the chosen one to bring Balance to the galaxy
You should really look up pleaguis master and how he wanted to take down the jedi
As well as palpatines sister...ofc before she died
