    There is a problem with this theory, as the only reason Anakin didn’t betray Palpatine sooner (like after Mace Windu died and before Order 66) was because he still had to learn from him how to keep Padme from dying during childbirth. He hasn’t learned that yet. So even if he beat Kenobi, he still needs Palpatine’s help in assuring that Padme doesn’t die in childbirth. If Padme lived, then Anakin would have eventually overthrown Palpatine when he least expects, as he mentioned to Padme before he choked her. If Padme died, however, then an intense duel would have broken out between them in the OR, and who know who would have won… it would be interesting.

      @@ryanice8594 yeah, I actually still own that game and played it decades ago when it came out. I remember thinking it was cool and would have been what happened if he had beat Kenobi, but as I aged and watched the prequels multiple times, I’d say about 10 years after I played the game, I realized that theory is flawed since Anakin needed to save Padme before betraying Palps, which wouldn’t have happened on Mustafar.

    • @hamstey1603
      @hamstey1603 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      In the Prequels, he had an inclination that Palps was bullshitting him and he was right. So it makes sense that he would just go for the kill and at least get to rule the galaxy for all that he has done

    • @eddardstark6554
      @eddardstark6554 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@hamstey1603 I get that, and I believe he has that inclination too, but nowhere in RotS does explicitly say he thought that. Whether he did or not, I believe his main priority wasn’t ruling the galaxy, but was saving Padme’s life - even if that meant risking letting the Emperor live for a few days-weeks while he learned the Dark Side technique to save her during childbirth. Once he learned it, he could have killed Palps, but probably not in time before childbirth since she was VERY pregnant at that time. Anakin had a lot of research to do, and killing Palpatine, risking his own life in the process, wasn’t on his immediate radar. It wouldn’t have been until after that, whether she actually died or not, until he would have betrayed him.

    • @cptnsx

      But you are forgetting ONE important thing. That was Anakin's goal NOT the dark side's GOAL. The dark side demands the number 2 destroys the number 1 especially if he can. If that was the right moment then the power of the dark side would sway Anakin to do just that.

    This is an excellent video, Mr. Fantasy Folklore. Anakin becoming Emperor of the Galaxy is way better with Anakin's full potential, and allowing the Senate to be intact but only answering to the Emperor, is a unique concept to explore. The Inquistriorous expanded into a legion of Siths, what Palpatine could have dreamed but wouldn't risk being overthrown. This has got to be the best Star Wars fanfiction story you made and a terrific masterpiece, no matter what happens and what anybody says. Always stay positive, never see who you are, and always believe in yourself. May the force be with you, and you, my friend, are fantastic, and don't forget about it! Also, please make this a part two and possibly a trilogy series. For this masterpiece to be so good, instead of ending, I love to see what happens next and a fight between Anakin and Kryat.

    Had she lived, Padme being the most influential Senator, or practically the lead senator/stand-in Empress, with Anakin being the main figurehead of the Empire (well, not a useless figurehead, just the face and strength of it, Padme and the new Senate will handle the politics).
    The Skywalker lineage rules the Galaxy and establishes balance, fulfilling the Chosen One Prophecy. The Chosen One and his OP bloodline.
    That said, with her dead, he'd need to ensure that his Senate is solid, and ideally he'd keep Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, etc as his highest standing politicians.
    5:43 (Also, maybe Anakin would just.... let Yoda live in peace and exile. No need to kill the old man 😅)

      Well Anakin/Vader isn't really evil or good, he's supposed to be balanced and have both. So I kinda view him as lawful neutral in RPG aspects. If he eradicated the Jedi and the Sith, he could perhaps create a new order that studies and observes the force as one whole rather than two halves.
      At least that's my thoughts on him not being minced and seared, and defeating Palpatine at a much earlier stage.

Just the Chosen one!! But wouldn't he had killed the Hutts ?? and ended all slavery or atleast let them escape before destroying Tatooine? Or brought Padme back with the midichlorians?

      @@forickgrimaldus8301 Honestly I think that Emperor Anakin would be a mix between Timur/Genghis in how merciless he would be to those who oppose his vision of the galaxy and Napoléon I/Julius Caesar in how he manages to inspire absolute respect and loyalty from his own men. If the Clone Wars is anything to go by he is already a general that has unorthodox tactics and inspire loyalty from his troops.

The closest thing to that would have been Battlefront 4, where there was a mission on Naboo where Anakin had joined Palpatine and Mace Windu and Yoda were the only Jedi left. Padme had her kids and all and were hiding on Naboo, but they were attacked by the Empire.

There's concept art of many Jedi characters if they were Sith and Sith being Jedi. There's Emperor Anakin, Dark Side Mace Windu, Dark Side Obi-Wan, Dark Side Luke and Leia, Jedi Dooku, Jedi Leia, Jedi Maul, Kaleesh Grievous... look it up.

    ”What if Palpatine loved Darth Maul as a son”
    I just thought about that and I think it would be interesting.
    So after Obiwan ”kills” Maul, Palpatine gets so angry(do what you want with that info).
    Palpatine then starts to get close to Anakin and tries to replace Maul, but then when Palpatine hears of Mauls return he quickly try to offer Maul his place as an apprentice back.
