every time I see the fan art of Anakin and his family living in peace always makes me cry.
Me too😢
Me too
@@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692same😢
What could’ve been…
Hishe does a GREAT alternate ending of this. It really fits the reasoning as to why too.
I wish Disney would do a What If series for SW and do this exact way! It would be awesome to see another version of Anakin becoming Grand Master
But what would be the conflict? Stories need a conflict. Could it be that, somehow Palpatine returned?
Edit: People are missing that the first half of my comment is just a setup for the punchline of the second half lol.
@@Galiant2010 nah it does not have to a literal ending world threath lmao just some daily struggles, and Luke & Leia could have a lot!
I mean they could just use the clone wars Animation to end the wars forever . There are many options I think
@@Galiant2010 The conflict is still there, it's just the hero (Anakin) wins instead of falling. Future conflicts could be any number of things, discontent remnants of the CIS, yuuzhan vong, another existential threat to the republic instead of constant civil wars (which would be a nice thing to see from disney anyways for some future content)
I agree. They really need to do a what if about if Anakin didn’t turn and if padme hadn’t died.
The plot problem in Anakin’s fall was when Palapatine told Anakin he was a Sith Lord, Anakin should have said, “ Wait, you were the Sith trying to kill Padme just a while back, and now you say you can help me save her?”
Nah, the problem is that they don't adequately show that aniken or Vader at this point knew he was being manipulated and intended on killing sidious and rulling the galaxy with padme, it's also why he destroyed the jedi and killed the younglings because he knew the jedi would not allow his rise to power.
@@codyray3344Problem was he was arrogant and lost to Obi Wan. He knew from then on that he could never challenge Palps and win with his suit being so weak to lightning. He completely trapped himself in a living hell until Luke brought him back. If he defeated Obi Wan, it wouldn’t have been long before he also defeated his new master.
@@schroederluck7984 he was fully capable of building himself better prosthetics, he deliberately chose not to because he wanted to use the constant pain he was in to strengthen his connection to the dark side.
When Palpatine had exposed himself as a Sith Lord, Anakin was tempted to kill him . Instead, he left and revealed his discovery to Mace Windu.
@@codyray3344this is absolutely correct!! It goes over viewers heads, they say how easily Anakin was manipulated and so quick to turn coat. No, Anakin had a lust for power and believed he could overtake Sidious eventually. He just needed the secret to prevent Padmes death. It was a means to an end. But once he lost the fight on Mustafar and found out Padme was dead, he had nothing else to live or fight for.
If Maul killed Obi Wan instead of Qui Gonn, Anakin definitely wouldn't have turned to the Dark Side. Qui Gonn was more of a father figure while Obi Wan was the strict older brother. Anakin wouldn't have needed a reason to confide in Palpatine if Qui Gonn was his master
🫶🏼😢
But then again it is a movie and they would need someone to turn to the dark side either way
The fact is based on our understanding of the Jedi Order - Palpatine should never have been allowed access to Anakin till AFTER he passes the Trials to become a Jedi Knight. That's a plot hole the size of Taylor Swift's private jet.
Maybe Mace will become due to him getting angry while almost being able to kill palpatine
Fuck yes I agree with you fam
What if: Anakin was actually grooming Palpatine to think he was grooming him. So that he could know if sidious was a sith lord earlier
You might have outsmarted me
But I outsmarted your outsmarting
@@lovell8983 🤣🤣
@@lovell8983 -Joseph Joestar
@@lovell8983 fool I outsmarted his outsmarting of you by outsmarting him
@@lovell8983I mean, Anakin is very smart so it’s actually possible he would think of this.
I would love to see a version where Mace Dies and Anakin defends Temple.
Coming soon!
Plenty of fanfiction out there my friend!!! I have read several of them where Anakin defends Temple, none with Mace dies however.
@@FantasyFolkloreI like your work but it would be nice if you paid more attention to detail. Qui Gon didn’t complete his training with the Force Priestesses, and therefore couldn’t project his body to the living. This explains why he wasn’t shown in the OT or post TPM at all. Also, in another video you had Padmé needing saving from dying in childbirth, even though Palpatine was dead and Anakin never turned, debunking both theories, that she died from a broken heart, and that Palpatine used Sith Alchemy to drain her life force.
@@hugoberg9077 I agree with your first statement but then they overlooked that in The Kenobi Show so I've started to overlook it as well. Also I don't know what video you're referring to in your second part
I would like to see Anakin chops off Mace's hand and defends him from Palpatine ...
Love this story and the changes and balance Anakin brought to the order. I love the art work you used for this video.
Thanks Diane I appreciate it!
Hey fantasy for claw or at work did you use for this video? The reason why I ask is because in real life I have a visual impairment so I can’t see images or avocado stream. If you’re able to describe it to me in a reply message I would greatly appreciate it. I love your channel, it’s all
i AGGRE
With this balance in the force Luke and Leia would have not been born, they would more than likely would have had died at birth. Luke and Leia brought the force back into balance once Anakin went to the dark side, as Darth Vader with Darth Sidious.
@camwardmvp then it's going to be twin sons, Luke and Leo with one having a "natural affinity" with the dark side it's just impossible for him to follow the path of a Jedi. Or something like that.
What a lovely and heartwarming version. As Anakin was always a slave and somewhat a victim, it was nice to see his character redeemed and for him to have the loving and caring existence that he so richly deserved.
It was a wonderful twist on what we received. Even though I love Darth Vader, I do love that Anakin received a wonderful and noble life in this version.❤
Well, he was the Force's love child with Smee, so his fall was inevitable.
What a beautiful life had he made the right choices😔😭
What If Anakin went with Obi-Wan to save Satine in The Clone Wars
This forsure
YES! PLEASE! This is an amazing theory!
Obi Wan could have found true happiness as well.
I want dis
Anakin: I fear for Padme, Master. I have foreseen her death in childbirth. Palpatine said he alone had the power to save her. With him dead, I don't know what I can do to save her.
Obi-wan: Have you considered taking her to an obstetricians?
Obi-Wan finally taking on the role he was born for: Quippy Uncle
😥:)
This was the soppiest, sappiest, sweetest, happiest version of the Skywalker saga... AND I LOVED EVERY FREAKIN SECOND!!
Thank you for this!!❤
Great story and completely believable. I wish this really could have happened, in a way. I think we all still ache for Anakin and Padme. If they did survive, this would be a wonderful story. I also agree, the artwork is really nice. Great job 👍
It really could happened if they made a show called Star Wars "what if" it could be a short run, like 7 ep per season.
yeah totaly agree
Anakin did survive, but under the name Darth Vader
Multiverse Star Wars… coming soon to a theater near you! (if there’s $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to be made, then it might just happen).
But padme dies while giving birth to luke and leah...
I love it that kit fisto survives in this scenario
I was so happy
This should have been the storyline all along! I love it!
No, then we wouldn't have Darth Vader and we wouldn't have the epic original Star Wars trilogy and we would possibly have no Star Wars period.
@@YouthFreedomFighters Original trilogy is trash, Episode III is too depressing, happy ending should be made
@@elomial724no way you just said the OT was trash
@@yourlocalghastyt285 There is no much between OT and PT. Especially TNH which is dull af. The graphics are bad and most of OT takes plays in space.
@@elomial724this is true I don’t mind bad endings in films but episode lll is to depressing even if anakin and obi one had to fight the should of made obi turn anakin back to the light in the final fight and padme lives along with anakin
I love this ending. Seeing them aged together with their children brings a tears to my eyes... and a wide grin.
Good to hear! Animated-ish version coming soon!
Ii think about this every single day man. Anakin deserves a happy ending with his family.
What if Anakin saw through Palpatine's scheming when it was revealed Palpatine knew about Padme and Anakins worries about her, attacking Palpatine without going to the council first?
I've got something similar planned
Actually the better change would have been to have Mace allow Anikan to join him when they went to confront Palpatine. Palpatine wouldn't have been able to strike first like he did with Anikan's absence. If he did strike first, he would have lost his grip on Anikan as Anikan would have seen him for what he really was. But having come to the fight late, all he saw was Mace standing over Palpatine ready to strike, making Mace look like the bad guy and the one trying to take away the one thing that Anikan saw as the only way to save Padme. We can see that Anikan regretted his action to kill Mace but his need to save Padme was greater than his regret, thus he gave himself over to the sith.
Based on the seith archs he will just become a Seith lord if he kills the seith lord. Also based on the Star Wars movie the last Jedi, Palpatine and all the seith lords before him will go into the person who kills the seith lord.
Remember... Anakin DID ignite his lightsaber when Palpatine revealed himself! That moment would have played better for a "What if" story, since Anakin was already highly skilled with a lightsaber by this time... and Palpatine would have sensed if Anakin would have arrested him, resist, and by the time he got his lightsaber in hand... Anakin would have cut him down. After having dispatched "two" Sith Lords, Anakin would probably have been made a Jedi Master... but with the precedence of dispatching his enemies, he STILL "could" turn to the dark side... so we'll see what FantasyFolklore does next!!
I love this scenario, looks like the Legends follow up of Luke's story. Could have been a great sequel
Anything is better than the crap that was Episodes 7-9.
Next we need “What If Obi-Wan Never Said Hello There?”
He would die.
I got an idea so stupid it might actually work.
WHAT IF: Anakin did not pass the Palawan Trials/failed at finding a kyber crystal? Would be interesting to see how Palpatine could use this to his advantage by saying something like. “My dear boi, The Jedi rigged the trial, look at this.” Then shows some faked “evidence”
Before any replies, keep in mind, he STILL is IN the Jedi order, but just not in the traditional sense.
That might work my friends that would be an interesting story arc that will be interesting because that will definitely contribute his fall to the dark side
A much happier ending. Very cool. Loved the amazing artwork.
Oh man... so beautiful... love this What If story... sad it didn't turn out like this.
It's touching to see an alternate timeline where Anakin never became Darth Vader and Luke and Leia never had to be separated and raised by adopted families.
I have an idea. What if Anakin got stuck in traffic on the way to Palpatine’s office during Mace and Palpatine’s fight because of an old grandma?😂
It's so ridiculous it might just work 😂
The little old lady from Tatooine?
The old lady with a stick strikes again
Sebulba pulling one last inconvenience on Anakin lol
@@sonyasandoval1477Yes! 😂
I love this. It is a cathartic end to the story, and it would be awesome to see an animated version of this.
This is brilliant. I'm 62 and I should be above this, but it's excellent. When episode 4 came out in 1977, I was 17 years old. I never thought it'd still be so strong today all these years later. Absolutely love this alternative timeline. Thanks for posting.
My mom was in her sophomore year in high school, and my aunt was in the seventh grade. And of course, they constantly yapped over who was cuter.
This has to be my absolute favorite timeline idea! FANTASTIC!
Leave you predictions below!
My guess is that very soon Anakin is made as grandmaster of the order, while anakin promotes either mace or obi wan to master of the order. Then the jedi are stronger than before.
well, I think he might grow up to become a very good father and master to his children, we will have to wait and see
I think awaking will reach his full potential
He gets everything he ever wanted and becomes the Grand Master of the Jedi Order
What if Darth Maul was in the Original Trilogy?
Its good that hes surrounded by younglings in the art.
That means he could tell them what to do
I love how
It's mixture of Hayden Christiansen and James Arnold Taylor
Even though I love the original storyline, this is now an alternate canon universe for me. Great video!
Well I can't love this any more. Anakin's journey to learn the secrets of the Force and the Jedi Order really makes sense. Well done!!
this is why we need a Star Wars version of what if, to tell stories like this. I think that a great idea would be, what if Qui-Gon never died
I love this WHAT IF outcome! See that's exactly what Anakin should've done, just stayed in the Jedi council chamber as Mace told him to. Then all that probably would have happened for REAL in canon!
This is the best Star Wars video I’ve seen!! Thank you so much for it! Your version is a hundred times better than the one we had. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The ending we all wanted but will never get.. thanks man
Oh my God, make this a movie. Please!!!!!!❤❤❤ We need it. Best Star Wars video I have ever seen, period!🎉 Make more like this.
Might be getting it animated!
No live action!
@@FantasyFolklorePLEASE
@@bobbythefish_gaming339 Out in January!
@@FantasyFolkloresomebody needs to make another Star Wars film and bring Natalie and Hayden back in a show/movie together
I mean Hayden and ewan already got their chance to come back so now I feel Natalie should come back
I even saw in an interview where she said she’s open to come back but nobody’s ever asked her
Would literally sell my soul to see Hayden and Natalie together again cannot stress that enough given how they did her character dirty to fit it into the OT movies 😭
what if thrawn joined the separatists
That's a great idea, I'm surprised I've not seen anyone suggest this
nothink will really change bcs the reason that the separtest won alot af battles is bcs palpatine set up the battels
Palpatine wanted the battles to be balanced to keep the war going and whittle down both sides. If Thrawn joined, he would likely become a threat to this balance and become the target of assassination. But being so slippery, he might evade Palpatine and successfully gain independence for the separatists. From there, who knows?
Republic would have been crushed in short order
Who can say that Thrawn was not doing it already from the beginning!?
I came here by curiosity and I was glued to the screen until the end of the video
Loved the video, artwork, and voice overs! Great video, I think all of us resonate with Anakin and his trouble of choosing the right path. I like this ending better, not only cause its happy but because it makes more sense to me that Anakin would have the decernment to know palpatine was tricking him to use his power and potential for his own benefit. He even says to sidious that the sith only think inwards and are selfish. I understand this is a ficticious story and applying universal laws to it can be challenging cause its an infinite rabbit hole as you know lol but star wars has many similarities to this world and one is the power of choice. I believe its very plausable Anakin could've taken the higher ground morally lol and chose the timeline to remain loyal to the jedi and let things play out on their own only to reflect and be happy he chose correctly for his own betterment. This is the path I wouldve loved to choose if I was Anakin, may the force be with you and God bless 🙏🏻
I love this story line, it eases the worlds pain and heals everyone.
loved this story wished it was longer.
I always wondered what would have happened if Windu had not pulled rank and had trusted Anakin (who had just proven his loyalty) to come along. That way, he would have been there to ensure that Palpatine was arrested, or killed if he resisted. As it was, Anakin came in to see his former friend and mentor about to be unlawfully executed, and Windu forced him to make a split-second choice between his wife and justice, and being complicit in the execution of the Chancellor. Anakin already had a crisis of conscience regarding the execution of the Tuskens and of Dooku.
Palpatine played him masterly, but it wouldn't have happened without the lack of trust shown in Anakin by Windu.
What if Padmé kept Anakin's lightsaber ?
🤔
i mean what’s she finna do with it? give it back when she needs help?
@@jalencarter3329 Finna? What kind of English is that? You should take some English classes as it must be your second language 😂
@@jalencarter3329
She can use it as a vibrator or a rod hopper. 🤔
one big thing i would have loved to see, Luke meets han on Tatooine while on a mission there and instead of becoming friends, they are bitter enemies and luke makes it his sole mission to bring down the hutts and priacy in the galaxy, always tangling with han in some sort of situation but Han always escapes, and no matter where Han goes luke is always there to try and stop him.
Also, tell me someone once and for when Anakin Skywalker lost his right arm his force connection and force potential was not diminished it stayed the same right he can still reach and fulfill his true potential with or without his right arm, right
Him losing his arm didn't diminish his potential imo the force is more then just midochlorians
@@JM00237 so he could still reach his full potential
He still had the same concentration per-cell after losing his arm. Whether or not it's the same case after the lava burns, I don't know.
@@MatthewJamesKalasky but tell youhave seen this vid what if anakin trained since birth vs what if anakin reached his full potential vs what if anakin stayed on mortis which is the most powerful version of anakin
technically I think it's diminished
One of the happiest endings I’ve heard so far.
I LOVED THIS! You did a WONDERFUL job! This made me VERY HAPPY......This is what SHOULD have happened! THUMBS UP!!!
Thank you for this beautiful video. I’m crying & sobbing
Me too, bro. It's way better than I thought and it's really more logical than the original story from George Lucas.
Once again another BANGER Goated
I appreciate it!
tHIS NEEDS TO BE MADE AS A WHAT IF TRILOGY...
Several of these fan artwork pieces shown here are absolutely amazing! I myself am working on getting better at drawing, especially human/humanoid forms. I’ve recently mastered drawing a human character, that being Usagi Tsukino as Sailor Moon. Now that I’ve successfully figured out how to draw a passable human character, now I need to refine the ability until I can draw any character, even from scratch. It did take a while to at least master the basics as faces are some of the more difficult things to draw accurately.
Good luck on your journey!
Anakin's legacy: Emotional Intelligence
This should be a movie. Very exciting🎉
This is a version I wish Disney would try and do. Sorta like an alternative time line.
❤😊 AMAZING STORY! I am glad that they are all happy and united as one.
This sounds like the making of a beautiful movie series. 😮
Now this was the destiny Anakin Skywalker should have had. Well done! You just earned yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the great work!👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯
We need "What If...?" Series in SW Universum soooo badly!
"the dickheads long plan" honestly a great name for palpatine
I heard rumors that there’s a marvels what if but instead it’s star wars this would’ve been the best episode
I’d watch tf outta this
FISTO LIVED YEAH BABYYYYYY
Love this so much! I'm not too sure about Windu and Fisto beating Palpatine most of the time, but I'm sure there would be exceptions. What would be epic is a part 2 of this where Palpatine returns as a more powerful version of himself in a clone body and duels Anakin along with a new apprentice or something (being that Palpatine's maximum potential would always get outweighed by Anakin's, he'd need someone powerful alongside him to even stand a slight chance).
Without Anakin, Palpy lost in the canon. Mace had him down
@@michaelposey6529 Down, but not defeated. Even Lucas himself went on to say in the on-screen commentary that Palpatine was feigning weakness after he fell down, and the fact that he was still able to fire powerful force lightning before AND after he got disfigured shows this to be true. He still had fight left in him, even though, to Mace's credit, he was legitimately knocked down.
@@GamingDrummer89 speculation vs what was actually on film. If Anakin hadn't turned he would have also been available to assist Mace.
@@michaelposey6529 Everything I said in my response here was on film, though (if you have the commentary turned on).
@@GamingDrummer89 and Palpatine counting on Anakin to betray Mace wouldn't have had anything to do with Palp "feigning weakness" and putting himself in a hugely vulnerable(without Anakin) to one of the most powerful masters in Canon.
Right?
Because Lucas' commentary was based on theory crafting Anakin not betraying Palpatine.
Accidentally discovered your video. Thank you! What a great idea. I was 7 years old standing in line with my Mom for Star Wars in 1977. We went to see it 4 times. The only movie my Mom ever watched multiple times. Thanks for the reminder.
Brilliant alternative timeline. Well written and presented
So wholesome!
Star Wars would be a comedy show with two idiotic Jedi Masters, 2 idiotic Jedi Knights, 2 VTuber Padawans, & Mace Windu getting headaches everytime he reads reports 😂
Another
What if Padme's family knew of her pregnancy and took Luke and Leia.
(Always wondered if they ever looked up existing family from Padme's side of the family after VI)
In canon very few people knew their true parentage. Yoda, Obi-wan, and Bail. By the end of VI they all died. Bail presumably would have told Leia if he were alive. Yoda and Obi-wan never had any intention of revealing their parentage. They could have, as force ghosts, revealed who the mother was. Yoda wouldn't have, but Obi-wan would have dropped clues that would lead them to the right answer.
It's more likely that Luke would have found this information on his own. In legends canon he researched Anakin Skywalker shortly after events of RotJ and just chose to not tell Leia any of it for years. There would have been ample stories of him galivanting around with Padme and the Force would reveal to him that she was his mother.
This story could include Anakin actually rescuing his mother from Tatooine, hence no anger over her death. He becomes pals with Owen and Beru, and forms a circle of friends outside the Order.
I had a fanfiction idea where Luke and Leia are thrown back in time and luke eventually rescues shmi, takes her to a medical center for treatment. No sandpeople slaughtered
Obi Wan: "With the number of children you have, Anakin, you can start your own Jedi Order"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Could you imagine the Yuuzon Vong facing over 10,000 jedi instead of just Luke's Praxium?
I want alternate Canon make episodes about this it wouldn't hurt too see a what if
I've never been so conflicted between wanting this story, and knowing I really don't want this story
This makes me happy and sad at the same time. To see what could have been anakins life snd than look at what actually heapened. It makes the ending of rots even more heartbreaking
I really wish all this actually happened in the movie instead of what actually happened I would of been crying shredding tears of joy for weeks if it did❤❤❤
One of your best videos yet!
Thanks G!
This stories are way better than Disney fiasco story line.
Thank you! This is everything I’ve always wanted and more for this story!
2:24 Wow! I didn't know jedi could clone themselves!
(great video btw, loved the story)
This is what i wanted, you did an amazing job you've earned a sub
That was superb! Thank you for sharing & May the Force be with you! 💫
I love the thumbnail, but kind of cursed how Anakin has a sith-like appearance there 🥶
Also Ahsoka in the thumbnail with her Mandalorian *drip* looks sick 💯
He will have happy endings
Man, I really love this parallel universum you told us about in this video. I would like to see Renewed Jedi Order, New High Republic with Grand Master Anakin and his children standing against Yuuzhan Vong invasion!
I just want to say I loved this version of events! Anakin switching to the dark side never made sense to me because his killings were always righteous indignation. I don't believe anyone hated the dark side more than Anakin. He was more of a gray Jedi or traditional Jedai after the path of Master Qui Gon Jin though. But this account makes a lot more sense to me. Is not realistic for one to join something one hates...now bitterness often places one on the opposing same extreme (like the female Jedi counselor in the Days Darth Revan)
But beautiful ending Loved it!
It seems rushed in the movies, but it makes sense. Anakin feels the council is holding him back. He also considers Palpatine to be a close friend, someone he can truly trust, unlike the other Jedi. The Jedi fail to help Anakin save his mom, and Anakin has tons of childhood slavery trauma and trauma from the war. He also thirsts to be the best and doesn’t understand why the council won’t grant him the title of master. He decides that he’s lost enough, and in his selfishness and rash thinking, he saves Palpatine from Windu, and there’s no going back.
"I so what a mechanical hand now!"
In another universe you get that luke
It would have been a happy Skywalker family, complete with Aunt Ahsoka and Uncle Obi-Wan.
Such an awesome "What If" scenario, loved the video and another thing that wasn't mentioned in the video is that Order 66 would not have taken place which means the clone would still be loyal to the jedi and the republic
we do need a full " what if" series
Well written story it's about time we have a story that doesn't involve Palpatine being way overpowerd and destroying everyone.
BTW this video was amazing. I love the way you made it fit in so well.
I like this story better than sidious tricking anakin into becoming a sith. Never made much sense to me how his transformation to Darth Vader was so fast!
You layered perfectly thank you for that, something we would have loved to see in real life
As much as I want a happy ending for Anakin and Padme, I don’t think Anakin really fulfils any ‘chosen one’ prophecy in this alternate ending. Mace defeats the Sith in this alternate ending.
"And all was Well" And then The Sii Ruuk, Yuuzhan Vong, Abeloth, Lost Tribe of The Sith, Waru, Gryssk, etc. pulled up saying, "I'm going to stop you right there." Oh who am I kidding this sounds awesome.
Do you think with Anakin leading the Jedi Order, that they could defeat them?
@@FantasyFolklore I'm probably still missing a few, but with the power of The Plot, God, and Anime on their side, I really don't see how they will lose.
I'm not crying... It's... Forget it! Yes! Yes, I'm crying! This is beautiful and my new head canon for the Skywalker family and friends!
Yo great videos man you've earned a sub
What if Anakin had the high ground! (Video idea)
Yes!
Good idea!
