    I think Grievous is much more charismatic than we give him credit for, he would most certainly kill off the council but I think he would have all their businesses nationalised under a cabinet of modified super tactical droids. He would rule more as a generalisimo under a heavily centralised Confederacy. Still great video. Thanks for the inspiration.

    When i saw the title of the video, i thought you were gonna do a video about this comment :
    Greivous' surviving would result in a totally diffrent Galactic Empire. In canon, the CIS collapsed since it's huge Droid armies had no leaders, and we're shut down or forced under the Empire. Greivous living would mean the CIS would survive. He would undoubtedly rally the Droid armies under his command (since he was their supreme leader anyway) and wage war on the Emperor and Empire that betrayed him. This would mean the Empire would lose out on huge amounts of territory and production, with the Empire simply replacing the Republic as the CIS's opponent in the clone wars (which would continue). This would also give the future rebels (who would be looking for an organization to join that could stand up to the Empire) a pre-existing force to join... the CIS. As a result there would be no rebel alliance, the CIS would replace it, only it would be far more powerful and resourceful than the rebels of canon, and have a Droid army to support the rebel soldiers. Ultimately, Greivous might even make a truce with the surviving Jedi (who he would see as a lesser evil than the Emperor and former Republic), granting them safety in the CIS in exchange for their participation in the war. This would likely result in a faster collapse of the Empire, and the rise of the Galactic Confederacy from its ashes. A confederacy led by Supreme Leader Greivous.( by SkiddyGaming)

      Someone has to expand on this NOW!

    • @Proterragon
      @Proterragon 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      What's the storyline here? Where do you begin alternating the canon? Let's say in Revenge of the Sith Grievous actually kills Obi-Wan(as he should lol he won that fight, plot armor saved Obi-Wan). Then it depends on the point of does he go to Mustafar and how big army of droids he brings with him.
      First thing you guys need to know is that all the droid armies across the galaxy were shut down by shutting down the droid master switch on Mustafar by Vader at the end of RotS after killing CiS leaders. So let's say he kills the Obi-Wan, and he probably uses one of the fighters to sneak by the clones like Obi Wan did, since the clones are winning the battle, all depends if he musters a fleet and army of droids on his way to Mustafar or if he even goes there.
      1) in case he goes there alone, which is the most probable case, he just gets killed by Vader on Mustafar BUT then you have the case of much powerful Vader since he isn't burned and his connection to the force remains even stronger than in canon(and even after burns he was like just bellow Sidious), and probably strong unified galaxy to KICK THE SHIT out of Yuuzhan Wong when they come(Palpatine knew about them and he was preparing the galaxy for them, Death Star was specifically used to counter their planet sized ships). that's the most probable option. Then you wouldn't have the events of original trilogy, Vader finds Padme, maybe saves her, maybe not, who knows, anyways kids are with him now, which means no Luke or Leia to lead the rebels which are easily crushed then (if they appear at all). This is the version i much more prefer than what actually happened.
      2) Grievous goes there BUT he brought army of droids with him. In this case its a bit more probable that he might live for a bit longer, but in 2/3 cases nothing grand as u suggested:
      a) Grievous after killing Obi-Wan and escaping clones would probably report to Palpatine/Sidious which would then probably instruct him to go alone on Mustafar, to get killed by Vader since he is so much stronger now. So the whole thing with Grievous bringing an army is VERY unlikely. This ends like in 1st option.
      b)Grievous gets an army and ignores Sideous orders to go alone(very unlikely) then there are couple of scenarios again. With additional droids, and most importantly magna guards Grievous HAS A CHANCE of defeating Vader if it comes to fighting. But more likely he is just instructed to kill the CiS leaders which he would gladly do and may even become Empires officer/general(now imagine that). We again have ultra-giga-mega powerful Vader + Grievous. This is probably the strongest version of Empire u can get. And my favorite storyline.
      Also Vader might be strong enough to kill him alone with army as well although i'm not sure.
      c)Grievous fights Vader and kills him using dirty games and droids(since there is no chance alone, Vader at this point is actually much more stronger than Obi-Wan. It's just the fucking plot armor again). He just get's killed by Sidious... easy as that. He can't hide or run very far or long, Sidious just finds him and literally one-man armies his way through and obliterates him, its not really a contest at all, droids/no droids+ Sidious would probably have an army of his own.
      So the most you can get is him being adopted into Empire and being one of its scariest commanders, which i consider pretty cool.I think he wouldn't mind that either since he would be able to use much more aggressive tactics he prefers. But Grievous just simply doesn't posses any way of disposing of Sidious. Which would kill him eventually.
      P.S. Sorry for kinda necroposting :D

      Greivous was supposed to be a military genious, his very first scene in Genedy Tartovsky's Clone Wars made that clear, that he'd out thought the Jedi, rather than CG Greivous, who's main tactic was throw endless waves of stupid things at them and then throw a tantrum when his painfully simplistic plan failed.
      Hell, Tartovsky Greivous was shown to be honourable, wanting to fight Jedi in person, even taking on six of them at once.

      I don't know about that, being a military genius is not the same as being a ruler. After all, what does he know about economics or legal codes. He'd certainly be a great war leader, but not an emperor. I guess the difference would be that at least his reign would be longer than CG Grevious as Emperor and rebellions would have a much harder time fighting him.
      In fact, he'd probably welcome a rebellion, because it'd give him a war to fight and thus, a chance to do what he does best and have people he can fight in honourable, personal combat. I really can't imagine he'd have much interest in being a ruler himself and would probably find someone to be his right hand man and do the actual ruling for him.

      That would be the most chaotic war in all of Star Wars history. I think the Republic/Jedi and the CIS/Sith would eventually band together (maybe temporarily until the bigger threat was neutralized). The Yuuzhan Vong were waging a religious war, they were not interested in any kind of peace treaty, reformation of government, they despised technology and the Force.

    I find this idea extremely intriguing, just like the idea of Darth Maul having been trained as a Jedi and not a Sith. If Grievous did kill the Separatist Council, then he would have access to all of the money that they possessed. He wouldn't need financial backing. I agree that rebellion would start much quicker though.

    I have an interesting Theory. In Legends, one of the IG-88 droids uploaded himself to the first death star, and another to the second. This was in preparation for a sky-net style rebellion against all organic life. Droids mined the ore needed to feed the foundries feeding the assembly lines making a massive army that was stationed in a planet that was gradually hollowed out to make more room. What would happen if IG-88 succeeded in usurping the Death Star? It has access to a LOT of Imperial military schematics, including better war-droids.

Sidous was afraid of what dooku had created after he figured that Grivous Beat 7 Jedi two of them from the council on his own. At first he was at ease because Dooku failed to make him force sensitive and saw him as just another tool that could pose no threat but after that massacre it was clear to the senate that Grivous had to be destroyed before he reign's as emperor.

    "What if Vader was emperor" I like that idea from a bit below. But I would add "What if Vader killed Sidious and became the emperor?". How would the Moffs react, the imperial senate (if it was still active at that time), what would the public think of this guy in his big black mechanical suit and most of all what about the rebellion? Would it be more successfull with Vader busy leading the Empire, or would he be more dangerous with Sidious having relied heavly on his forsight (which was lacking as he, well, died)? Would Luke be able to kill his own father, maybe fall to the dark side more easily? Questions above questions!

    • @vojtechjehlicka7000
      @vojtechjehlicka7000 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He was useful, true. But unlike Vader, who cannot be replaced in a short time, Imperial officer, no matter how high ranking, was replecable. Even someone as Tarkin isn't so important to be spared such a disasterous defeat. Imps were removed for less.

    Honestly, I think Grievous would die of health and age-related complications before he was overthrown considering he was most likely around 50 by his death in the clone wars and his species naturally lived till around 80 max I think he has less time than the full lifespan considering the state of his cybernetics giving him a permanent cough.

    The first thing that came to mind was for how Grevious would rise to power would be if Dooku's execution was somehow broadcast throughout the galaxy revealing Palpatine's cruel side and Anakin's fall from grace and drastically changing the public's opinion on the war.

  • @Raptorman0205
    @Raptorman0205 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    The lack of financial backing wouldn't be a problem for Grievous. Like you said, he'd probably immediately kill off the separatist senate the second he became the political leader, but in terms of supply, the droid factories themselves were self sustaining. He'd probably go to Kalee, recruit all of his tribes to run factories and the military, and become the horrifying warlord described in the video. The difference being I believe the chaos would last for a far longer period of time, as most other upstart factions would be quickly exhausted with endless tides of droids. It'd probably end once grievous died.

    • @CurtisJobson
      @CurtisJobson 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Raptormann0205 That's assuming he dies. Cloning technology does exist, he gets cloned and transfers his consciousness before death and bang! Brand new gervious that could probably last for another 80 years.

  • @thuzan117
    @thuzan117 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    the most likely way this could happen is if order 66 occurred before General Grievous was defeated by Obi Wan Kenobi, which is not at all far fetched since they happened within minutes of each other. Order 66 would have put the grand army of the republic into disarray since they would effectively have killed much of their leadership and the focus would be taken off the droids for a few moments. the clones would also be fighting on two fronts, the jedi and the seperatists. The biggest problem here is the droid shutdown order but its possible Grievous had the means to override.

    You also have to assume that Grevious has a massive jump in terms of competence and ability. From what I've seen of him in the CGI Clone Wars and ROTS suggests that he was incapable of winning the war, or even presenting a significant genuine threat to the Republic.

  • @heavylokhust8158
    @heavylokhust8158 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Personally I think that if he was to be the absolute leader he’d still work with the geonosians and as well as other constructers to build his army especially if he wanted to stay in control he may be a warlord but he’s also a very cunning strategist in my personal opinion all those ideas for more powerful war machines in the droid army would be in his possession for example that droideka Mach 3 with the 3 twin blasters and ion cannons plus the more powerful shield generator with all those war machines at his disposal I’d give about another decade or 2 because of the sheer numbers he would have and then again when the yuuzhan Vong arrive he would also still have all those droids and sure no force weilders but he would have an immense amount of ships and dreadnoughts at the time now by no means I say he could win but damn would he give them hell

    Here's an interesting ideal, what if rebellion was staged against Grievous like mentioned where he lets his bankers live as a warlord;
    What if said rebellion was staged without the aid of Rebel plot armor?
    Would the rebels have an easier time overthrowing a droid army over storm troopers? Maybe if for the reason of there being more who'd rebel since Sidious was better at brain washing his closer civilians.
    I can image the CIS counsel saying things like "We won, but our army is run by a mad man!" Or something like that.

    You have to remember that Griveous was already a warlord before he became the general of the Trade Confederation, so even IF he doesn't have a mind for business, he would still know the value of keeping the Trade Federation council around. Plus just because we only see Griveous as a fighter, doesn't mean that he's just a brute with no diplomatic skills...

He do this of course after burning the planets that irked him the most, and then he'd tell the galaxy to bugger off.
