      I believe that palpatiene would have to deal with way less rebellions in the aftermath of the wars (vong ans Clone wars ) as he would not be seen as an evil ruler but more a compitent one who did everything he could to save the galaxy (that resoulted in the death of the jedi ). also wouldnt the ARC 130 dominate the skies since it was probably better than the x-wings in a multirole Space fighter that could carry diferent bombs and probably Buzz droids

    Oh, Palpatine would have had a field day with the Vong. An outside, existential threat to the galaxy is even better than what he manufactured himself.
    Let the Vong run roughshod on the outer rim for a while, the jedi to get ground up in attrition, and let the people get scared enough that they'd give him all the power he ever wanted. Dooku gets to be the hero that successfully brokers an alliance between Republic and CIS, Palpatine lets loose all the crazy super weapons and endless war machine production he had to hold back before, and as soon as the beaten Jedi start to suggest that maybe genocide of the Vong is going too far, they get wiped out for being "sympathetic to the evil invaders". Boom, Galactic Empire time.

And question if you don't mind since I'm still ignorant on a lot of things related to this universe wouldn't the Jedi be able to uh shit what's it called again..... um like use that force magic stuff to sense his evil intentions?. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't Yoda or Obi wan or um shit I'm sorry but I forgot his name the one with the purple light saber that was thrown from the window if I remember correctly?.

    Theory:
    The Vong were prepared to invade shortly after TPM but were given pause when their probes discovered a massive build up of clone and droid armies in a short amount of time. The Vong were debating a surprise attack when the Clone War started and it became apparent that the droids and clones were being made to fight each other, not the Vong, so the would-be invaders waited as the Clone War continued, then escalated into a full blown civil war that spanned the entirety of the known galaxy. The Vong only had to wait until their targets had weakened themselves enough to make their jobs easier, and once the supposedly weaker rebels toppled the dominant empire, the Vong finally began their invasion, expecting a weak and war-weary galaxy to crumble before them.

    • @derek96720
      @derek96720 4 ปีที่แล้ว +147

      That's not entirely a theory. It's stated in the books that the Vong had been spying on the galaxy for decades before the invasion, and that The Empire under the leadership of Palpatine would have provided a much more formidable adversary, especially given their planet-killer superweapons that would have obliterated the Vong worldships used to traverse the galactic divide.

      That sounds like a politicians theory. As a true warrior would know that a civil war would actually make the galaxy MORE difficult to invade afterwards. As the survivors would come out of such a war much stronger, determined and battle hardened - with their war machines intact. A tactically savvy Commander would have invaded while both sides were at war - split and worrying about themselves - not each other. The enemy already DIVIDED themselves - they would merely need to CONQUER whatever/whomever was left.

If the vong had invaded palpatine could have easily played the politics on both sides to justify a truce and alliance to repel the invaders that threaten them all.

      Around the time of Episode 7-perhaps the Vong would lose? We haven't seen much of Disney-era New Republic (except for some troops and security droids in The Mandalorian), but if the First Order and New Republic (PRE Starkiller massacre, obviously) worked together, perhaps they could have repelled the Vong.
      An invasion during Episode 8? Yyyyyyyyeeeeah probably not. There was no Republic, barely any Resistance and the First Order was generally the sole force in the Galaxy (and let's face it, they were pretty incompetent overall). Even with Snoke, Ren and their legions of brainwashed troopers, the Vong would win eventually.
      I don't even need to discuss an Episode 9 invasion. Pretty much no Jedi, basically no Resistance, no First OR Final Orders-the Galaxy is the weakest it's been in almost a century. Not much to discuss-the Vong could have practically waltzed into the Senate without any trouble.

      Going by Canon: Separatists ultimately win the war and Palpatine annexes both the CIS and Republic into the Empire via a peace treaty with Dooku. Jedi go into hiding, and conspire with Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and maybe Padme if she's alive to assist the Rebellion against the Empire. Galactic Civil War is more intense with thousands of Jedi assisting rebel cells against the armies of the Empire.
      By Legends: We see a scenario similar to the old Mandalorian Wars play out. Some of the more radical militarized Jedi (Rahm Kota, for instance) decides to join the Republic's war-effort with possibly hundreds following in their stead. Possibly could lead to a Schism in the Order as they see their brethren fight and die on battlefronts across the galaxy. From there, plays out similar to the Canon scenario only here the Empire has an Army of Dark Side Acolytes in the next Civil War since one of Dooku's ideas was to establish the "Fist of the Empire", basically taking human and near-human Force-sensitives and training them in the Dark Side.

    the Jedi were more organized and greater in number in this time and would prove to be difficult for them
    palpatine would know they are a threat as he knows about them so he would have united the galaxy to fight the Vong, however, whatever happens after is a mystery

  • @danielhavoc889
    @danielhavoc889 3 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    You should realize this would have other massive impacts on this universe too, first of all, Anakin and Padmes children would be born while Anakin hasn't fallen to the dark side, because order 66 likely would not be done until far later. This basically means anakin likely never falls to the dark side, and while Palpatine could find other options, Anakin on his own may be enough to change the outcome of Palpatines attempt to call out a false coupe, especially because this Anakin would easily be allowed to stay on the Jedi council, as children and love has been permitted before, and likely would be for the greatest war hero of the Jedi order. He would even eventually be labeled a Jedi Master, after an even more extended conflict, but as his children being born completely fine occurred, he likely would be less desperate for the position. This would also mean he may depend less on Palpatine as a coping mechanism, and be more content with the Jedi order, and the famed war hero Anakin Skywalker saying a Jedi coupe was falsified, many would listen. This is if Palpatine isn't killed in the original arrest attempt, which would likely happen eventually. At this point, the Jedi order in general would likely be more powerful, and we may even see an arrest attempt with Yoda there originally. Simply adding a content Anakin in the first place would likely spell death for the dark lord, but imagine the entire Jedi council at once, and I think Palpatine doesn't stand a chance. A conflict with the Vong may actually cause the galaxy to be better off in the long run, though even after Palpatine, there would likely still be much conflict.

  • @kendog52361

    The "x factor" of all of this would likely be whether the extra time allows the Jedi to discover Sidious's identity. If I'm remembering correctly, the Jedi were already starting to get suspicious of "Republic Leadership", and especially if Nom Arnor(?) is found, be able to justify, at least after the fact, an investigation which might ID Palpatine as Sidious.

    • @derek96720

      Would it matter? By that point, Palpatine already had full control of the Republic. He could just execute Order 66 anyway. This might lead to a temporary paralyzation of the Republic command structure, one that he's sure to exploit. I'm no sure if Anakin would've been turned though, but either way I don't see the senate taking the side of the Jedi who were attempting to throw a coup in the midst of an intergalactic invasion.

    Something to think about - The Vong ships, while reasonably powerful ship per ship (especially the coralskippers), use only single-point singularities as defense and propulsion. They are very vulnerable to scattered fire (the sputter trigger later for fighters). So swarming them at 30-50:1 with vulture droids, tridroids and hyenas I think would do a *LOT* to equalize the effect of less powerful capital ships. Especially when you factor in oddities like the Defoliator being deployed in large numbers, which should be *devastatingly* effective against Vong biots. And as you mentioned, the CIS especially can *afford* to lose droids at a 50:1 rate, and just grind the Vong down to nothing. They don't have cloning tech to rapidly replace losses!

    Good analysis. Besides technology being significantly less advanced back then, I also think it ultimately comes down to palpatine's ability to just unite the CIS and the republic as soon as the Vong arrive. If he could do that, they could consolidate their forces and immediately begin working on machines that would more effectively combat the Vong. Something not mentioned here is the the fact that the jedi can basically see the future, the reason they don't do this very well in the prequels is because the entire time they were, palpatine was stiffling them all. Hypothetically if it ever got to a point where palpatine thought that the Vong were actually going to be able to take control over the entire galaxy, I'm sure he would have let go of that hold over the remaining jedi, allowing for a more sure victory. But then again, we have seen proof that palpatine's only real goal was for him to be in control of the galaxy, maybe if revealing himself became the only other option, he'd just choose risking death just so he doesn't get arrested by the jedi and risk losing his seat of power. Hard to say.

    Like any threat, an invasion by the Yuuzhang Vong would’ve seen a United galaxy pretty fast. Palpatine does indeed control both sides, but I think the Seperatist Parliament and military leaders would’ve fought to unite and fight off the invaders. It’s an all hands on deck scenario - Palpatine would’ve started speeding up troop manufacturing on both sides, immense efforts would be put into building capital ships, and even a third army might’ve been raised of both humans and aliens rather than clones and droids. In times of desperation, a lot of work can be done.
    It doesn’t really go any further than that, fear would force everybody to devote 100% to the war effort. Though at a disadvantage due to the time period a lot of skilled warriors such as Grevious, Windu, Dooku, and the entire Jedi Order was around. Not to mention the forces of other worlds like the Death Watch.

    I think you might have underplayed the capabilities of a combined fleet between CIS and GAR. From the smallest fighters to the largest capital ships, almost everything in the GAR was well suited to multi-role capabilities. The venator, with a massive fighter wing, combined with the providence class destroyers would have meant deploying large numbers of fighters. Not to mention that their smaller size meant being able to provide more ships in battle. If Palpatine were to manipulate both factions to further his purposes, he'd probably combine both factions into unified fleets/armies, using the CIS to generate massive numbers of "disposable" fleets and armies, and thus keep their numbers reasonably thin with heavy losses, to supplement the GAR's strength of versatility. Either way, I don't think the Vong would succeed. The GAR wouldn't be taxed so heavily with war losses, and Palpatine would ultimately use the Vong to unify the entire galaxy under his control, reabsorb the CIS with underhanded diplomacy, and ultimately condemn the jedi as Vong conspirators, what jedi remaining being branded by their natural desire for peace as trying to bring the fall of the republic from the inside. I like your opinion, and even if I differ in the method and reference points, ultimately I agree with your outcome.

    Luke Skywalker: "Your overconfidence is your weakness." In this statement Luke perfectly sums up the reasons why Palpatine would lose to the Vong no matter when it happened, Palpatine didn't fear the Vong oh he was concerned for sure but his ego and gambling habit (just with power and lives not money) blinded him to the true danger, remember that's part of the reason Thrawn made the empire of the hand to make a version of the empire without the Emperor's god complex and Tarkin's shortsighted doctrine of fear, if the Vong invaded Palpatine would try to manipulate the war but without direct control over the Vong and lacking Thrawn's ability to predict their actions the war would eventually spiral out of control Most likely ending Mutually Assured Destruction.

    Damn this would have been really interesting. Palpatine's plan could even work better than before. By the end there'd be less Jedi, but plenty of clones and droids who he could just order to kill them all. Droids wouldn't even need an Order 66. Dooku (if still alive) could just order them to attack again.
    Also, even if Palpatine was discovered to be a Sith during the war, not a lot would be done about it, no matter how much the Jedi tried. He was still the legal Chancellor, and the revelation that Palpatine could use the Force like a Jedi would barely phase most people. Palpatine could even just pull some bullshit out of his ass, saying he hid his abilities for fear the Jedi would try to conscript him when he was young. And even if people knew he started the Clone Wars, he was still a strong leader and it would be easy to manipulate the Senate into postponing his trial until the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated.
    I feel like Anakin especially would be influential here. The Jedi Council would be adamant about apprahending Sidious. Anakin would point out that disrupting leadership in such a desperate war would ensure they'd lose. Knowing the brutality of the Yuuzhan Vong, Anakin would believe the Jedi to be so blinded by tradition that they would get them all killed, or likely worse. They might expel him from the order for protecting a Sith (the fricken Dark Lord of the Sith at that), which would lead him right into Sidious' arms. Darth Sidious would get his apprentice after all, and Anakin would still legally be a general in the grand army of the Republic. The Jedi would be forced into working with him. They'd likely face two options, either leave Sidious be, or the Jedi Council would have its authority revoked, and the Jedi generals would legally report to the Senate for the duration of the war. The whole situation would reverse, and Anakin would likely be the liason, now in command of all the Jedi generals. So the Council would have to back down to avoid this. And can you imagine the humilation? The Jedi literally taking orders from the Dark Lord of the Sith.

    I think you are right, and to add to your point:
    It’s very likely this would be the ideal circumstance for palpatine. An entire area of the outer rim was conquered and battered, leaving them most likely extremely willing to except imperial protection. Anti-alien laws and regulations would probably be easier to implement. And seeing as the republic was unable to swiftly defend against external threats to the galaxy, which were proven to be very real, he could easily militarize the whole galaxy even faster and more effectively than in the true timeline. And he still has order 66 up his sleeve. Perhaps this was even when he was hoping for the attack to come.

Not only that, ISD defenses were geared toward defending against energy/plasma weaponry, not the kinetic impactors the Yuuzhan Vong use, in fact, some ships in the SWU didn't even use particle defense shields at that time. Not to mention, the yaret-kor were notoriously noneffective against ships with point defense laser systems, because the laser systems could destroy or break apart the incoming projectile. Guess who has point defense systems? Oh yeah, the Reapers. When it comes down to it, all they're firing is a ball of molten rock, pretty ineffective compared tot he penetrating power of a depleted uranium/tungsten spear of death.
      Not only that, SW weapons were ineffective against the Worldships because they used energy weaponry. How the energy is important as well as the yield. Whereas turbolasers use balls of plasma, which are inherently ineffective against an enemy like the Vongship, the Reapers use weapons with immense puncturing power, the raw pressure a spear of dense metal traveling at relativistic speeds would have a much better chance at puncturing the living ship, disrupting its circulatory and nervous systems.
      The reapers are also smarter in battle- they're not going to stick to the 2D assault patterns nearly every ship of the New Republic used. They will likely also engage at further distances than what the Worldship is used to. Also, the Worldship has a slow rate of fire, compared to the Reapers whose main spinal gun can fire once every 3-5 seconds (along with 6 other guns). Fire volume anyone?
