@thestarwarsgalaxy what if Vader froze Luke in Carbonite to take to the Emperor; Star wars theory made this one in the past but I would like to hear your point of view of the story
I have entered in the giveaway. i really hope you do the obi juan idea, star wars needs rock. Also what if yoda turned to the darkside and made his own clone army, during the clone wars, will palatine have to work with the jedi to survive.
This was definitely another amazing video with an interesting topic. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next. An idea I do have for a potential “what if” you could do is “What If Ezra was a Mandalorians”. I think it would be interesting to and it would make him even more badass. I’d still want him to keep his connections to the purgil and loath wolves somehow and I just want to see more Ezra and Sabine moments…#ezrabine4ever.
There are 2 Dooku's. One before kneeling to Sidious and one after. One I would have followed into battle with great pride, and one I would have sniped at 2,000 yards.
i kinda wised he had said "no mace, the Jedi does not serve the republic. we follow the will of the force! you are the one who has lost your way, you are no jedi, you are a puppet."
Plo with his caring dad energy would solve the issues either by debating his way to the result needed or (mostly unintententionally) guilt tripping the Republic into getting it's act toguether
I like this one as it's one of the rare what ifs that doesn't just ignore the corruption in the Republic and the Jedi Order in a situation where the Sith are defeated, but still deals with it as the central conflict. Well done!
Im so glad that you had the Senate elect another corrupt politician as chancellor! I think it added more frustration with how restricted the Jedi order felt by the senate. Good stuff!
In Legends he was a near equal to Yoda in potential which is one of the reasons why Yoda took Dooku as a one on one apprentice which Yoda rarely did unless he sensed someone with near equal, actual equal, or even above his own potential so Mace was most likely a near equal to Dooku in potential in that case making Dooku slightly below Yoda and Mace moderately below Yoda with Sidious/Galen Merek, Abeloth, The Solos within Leias veins, And The Skywalkers being the only ones to surpass Yodas potential yeah.
@@denislima28 yes he was still freshly off being plagieus apprentice, and since he had to kill him in his sleep, he was nowhere near as powerful as he later became
Thank you for the story! It was very well done and I liked that you didn't gloss over the fact Dooku murdered another Jedi, but didn't linger on it either. When a character redeems, its often easy to just gloss over their past misdeeds, I imagine for story flow. However, it would also bog down a story to just keep harping on what they had done before. Here, you stated it a few times, then moved on. Like the split on who sided with Dooku and who Windu, I'm sure each of us had our beloved character on the wrong side, but knew it was necessary for there to be a split. Like how you used Ahsoka to start a resolution, before it was resolved to allow our heroes to be the solution against slavery out on the rim. Nice story, great reading and again, thank you for making it.
Mace Windu is the true villain of the Prequel Trilogy. His hypocritical behavior, thinking he was above being corrupted by the dark side, siding with the Republic over the will of the force, etc. The Jedi Order was already flawed, but when he become Master of the Order, it was truly the nail in the coffin.
I love your stories about Dooku. Always some of my favorites. I know many probably think Dooku would stand no chance against Palpatine, but I think your scenarios are plausible. Dooku's skill as a duelist are often overlooked by many fans and you showed his skill multiple times in this video. Well done
Ahsoka is now inserted in the Return of the Jedi when Luke is Burning his body, she saunters up to him and explains who she is. This is something Disney would do.
i like the story, but i think there are 2 major flaws around the beginning of it: Palpatine kills Plagueis at the same time Maul dies, he wouldn't have the time to go and help Maul because he was busy, if he tried to help Maul then Plagueis would remain alive. The second thing is that Palpatine just wanted Maul as an assasin rather than a full on apprentice, I don't think he'd care so much to the point of going there and saving him to begin with, especially with him knowing that doing that would very likely expose him as the Sith master.
more likely than not Palps changed his mind and adjusted his plans because Dooku wasn’t responding and he* feared (read: blindly assumed) that Dooku had turned back to the light.
MORE COUNT DOOKU STORIES YAYYY! I will be adding more to thus comment after watching. 😊😊 *added comment* really loved this story, and the way in which dooku repeats the line of "We serve the people of this Republic! " gave me chills, can't wait to see more stories, maybe a part 2 to this version of the timeline 😁👌👍👌
Sidious went down too easy. I enjoyed the scenario overall, but I feel like Sidious wouldn't have lost to Dooku w/o some kind of outside circumstance intervening.
I'd agree that he went down too easily, although I think the one and only time Dooku had a chance of besting Sidious one on one is during or just after TPM (Not easily, it'd be a seriously close fight even then). Now if it were ROTS Sidious, then Dooku wouldn't have a hope of winning due to how powerful Sidious became by that point, he'd put up a good fight, sure, but never win.
Dooku is pretty powerful, and The Phantom Menace Sidious was still an apprentice and cannot take Plagueis in a fair fight. I'd say it's acceptable if Dooku beats TPM Sidious
What if Dooku actually betrayed Palpatine and created a new Jedi Order, a Dark Jedi Order. Instead of letting the Republic hold the Clone Army he would use the Clones once they were complete to lead the Confederacy of Jedi Systems. Believing the Dark Jedi Order he has created shouldbe leading the people and protecting the people of the galaxy as leaders. Or perhaps Barris Offee found like minded Jedi and created a group of Jedi who were against the Jedi Order. Becoming Dark Jedi. Maybe turning to Orange tinted lightsabers. And creating a Jedi Civil War. Not sure if Clones would side with Barris or if they would use soldiers for their war. But Jedi vs Jedi vs Sith would be interesting
Good one. I enjoyed this one. I just think once the Light Saber' ignited, Yoda should have put a stop to it. Light "The animosity between you too are well know. It is at the core of this, but the second layer is the truth to what and who we are. We are loyal to our word, but beholden to protect the weak,,,, the innocent.... We will help the ppl now and let the council know what we do." That's what I think. I do love your stuff man. The Skywalker as a Mandalorian was great too. 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Just to comment: I feel that Dooku as a Jedi would have been so much better as both a dueler and as a force user. Dooku in the Sith, became Arrogant and had this bizarre belief he could one day replace Sidious. You remove the dark side from Dooku and he could accept the light side of the force with wisdom perhaps.
Beautiful! This is basically is Dooku's perfect path, I know you change up whatever for each of these what-if, but this is a really nice way narrative way for him to be the stories hero, and may be the only what-if path where someone wise/strong enough was able to correct the order from within to avoid true chaos. Only other person would be maybe QuiGon who could have (at least in cannon), otherwise only really Ahsoka holds the pure light-side with conviction and credence in a way described here.
Really like this tale of Dooku not turning to the dark side I like that he trained Anakin and was able to lead a civil war to reform the Jedi and the Republic
In Canon he did Maul was said to have a potential to surpass Talzins own which was one of the reasons he ditched Talzin to have Maul as a apprentice instead that and Maul was still younger and easier to mold and brainwash then Talzin was it was only after Mauls beating alive or not on Naboo where Sidious changed his mind about Maul that and he had Dooku as a insurance in case Maul failed by either becoming too crippled, locked up in a extremely high tier jedi prison, resigned from the sith order, went back to Talzin, or died yeah.
Hmmmmm, I don't think Mundi would give up honestly he may be submissive with a majority vote, but I don't think he'll surrender to the new changes. He's VERY fanatic in the current jedi ways.
What if Padme somehow got a force vision of Anakin having nightmares of her dying, turning to the dark side, order 66, the Jedi dying, Anakin in vader suit, her actually dying and her twins being separated?
If Anakin told Padme anything about what happened with Fives (I didn’t watch all of the clone wars cuz Disney + is expensive,) it’d probably be a colossal political and military Disaster for Palpatine due to Fives having attempted to explain order 66 and Palpatine’s plan to Anakin, it’d at least i believe cause a large change to an extent depending on when this happened
Could he hide his dark side from the Jedi by using his double brain to switch between light and dark? A Sith lord on the Jedi council would be extremely dangerous.
so, when sidious brings him over to the Sith cause, he orders him to stay within the order and subvert it from within. Not by acting against the code but by using the code itself against the Jedi. Malicious compliance. Obeying the code to the letter to expose the weakness and immorality of the Jedi order. His unique Cerean physiology allows him to hide his darkness in his second brain. Of course, Sidious doesn't wish for such a weak apprentice, so he still orders him to be killed in Order 66. He had already served his purpose.
I am quite surprised that Yaddle wasn't mentioned at all in this one. I figured she would appear in the fighting at least. Buuut, Nice Dooku W! A very cool video! I do think in their prime Dooku would beat Sidious in a fight like that. Dooku has just trained for it so much more.
Probably the only point in time that Dooku could rival Palps would be around the phantom menace, so I could see this outcome, albeit hard won. Though ROTS Sidious is a different matter. Really enjoyed this one regardless. Loved how Dooku and Anakin brought the jedi out of their stagnation and unproductive politicking.
I've got one for ya: but this is one that should only be done after you've really sat down and chewed on TOR, and I seem to recall your Old Republic chops aren't completely there yet. What if Darth Imperious returned during the Clone Wars era? Darth Imperious is the light side version of the Sith Inquisitor from TOR. He's got a kind of scoundrel mage with a heart of gold personality - charming, diplomatic, quippy, self assured, and utterly uncaring about breaking the rules. He's a fairly well designed character and represents an interesting thought experiment of a powerful and ambitious Sith who's mentality is stepped in a more traditional 'good' value system. Though I think the Light Side Sith Warrior does this thought experiment better, Imperious just has a much stronger characterization than LS Wrath does, who's genuinely more generic Jedi than most of the Jedi in the game are.
For the record: there’s been a debate on who would win a one on one match Dooku or Maul. Your video shows an interesting result. Good story thanks for sharing. Favorite part is how Ahsoka became Obi Wan’s apprentice. Day 76 of my list. What if; Anakin never gave into his feelings for Padme (Pentre Patrol did his version), Aayla Secura was the chosen one and became Darth Talon, Shme Skywalker was adopted by the Tusken Raiders, Boba Fett saved his Tusken family, Count Dooku was a regular count for the CIS, Jabba the Hutt supported the Jedi at the Start of the Clone Wars, and finally, what if Sabine and Ezra fell in love?
WHAT IF Anakin join Dooku in Geonoses, achive balance in force, together kill Palpatine take control over republic and start new force order WHAT IF Venrtess and Qui-lan Vos kill dooku settled down start family, achive balance in force and start new force order and train Luke, Leia, Mara Jade Galen Marek, Cal Cestis and Merrin ( Luke start family with Mara, Leia with Galen and Cal with Merrin) WHAT IF Yoda and Dooku go to Naboo with Obi-wan and Qui-gon and all died from hands of Maul and Plagueis( he kill dooku from hiding and after attakin yoda kill him and Maul kill Qui-gon and Obi-wan), Plaugueis kill Maul to convicen jedi about he was last sith.
Its such a cute reaction >/< ' my father is here, my older son isn't ready for the burden of raising his newly adopted brother, my father can do it though. '
What if Jango Fett survived the Battle of Geonosis? What if Darth Maul was redeemed on Naboo? What if Lando never betrayed Han on Cloud City? What if Luke died on the second Death Star? What if Rex killed Ahsoka? What if Ahsoka killed Rex? What if Boba Fett joined the Rebellion? What if Kanan survived? What if Obi-Wan died on Utapau (either against Grievous or Order 66)? What if Han Solo never met Chewbacca? What if Darth Maul killed Kanan on Malachor?
What if anakin was piloting before attack of the clones and sensed ventress fall to the darkside as her master died and took his ship to the planet to investigate. Perhaps starting a romance as they are very similar in their stories. Also what if ahsoka taught ben skywalker as she saw him as history repeating itself. What if anakin was a jedi watchmen or wayfinder. What if anakin went with kenobi to face maul and savage instead of adi gallia. What if anakin fell in love with luminara or your own version of aayla secura romance. What if oppo rancis trained anakin. What if anakin met and fell in love with ventress just before the clone wars just after her masters death. What if anakin became a jedi sentinel like a watchmen or one of those who find younglings. What if evan piel became a mentor or second master to anakin. Or anakin became a healer either before or after his mother death could be related to his friendship with offee or alternatively what if he was trained by tra sa who taught windu and actually did not forbid attachment as shown by her relationship with tholme , they could become like a pseudo parents to anakin and train him away from the temple in azati martial arts and from trasa the living force as she is a plant lady so imagine anakin controlling plant life.
I'm thinking that Palpatine would've used his power of the force to try to defeat Dooku when he determined he couldn't defeat him with a lighsaber as he did with Yoda. I think Palpatine was overall stronger in the force than Dooku was. I'm thinking Dooku should've been at least injured in his duel with Palpatine. Also not sure who is the better duelist between Dooku and Windu this is an interesting topic. Definitely think Windu has an edge on a darkside wielding Dooku. Not sure otherwise though how well Vaapad stacks up to Makashi if the Makashi user is still wielding the lightside of the force. Kind of like a Paladin in D and D trying to smite a good or neutral aligned swashbuckler maybe?
You guys remeber star wars battle front 2 video game how in the campaign in the jedi temple their was temple vanguard infantry soldiers armed with blaster rifles and pistols I kinda they were cannon and it gives the idea their are non jedi republic militias serving in protecting the temple. But I also imagine how tragic it be in a jedi civil war or an order 66 scenario because the vanguard soliders would die defending the temple lr be force to pick a side ij a jedi civil war.
What if anakin was found by jedi belonging to another sect like corelia or those nomadic jedi who allow attachment. What if anakin went to dathomir in revenge of the sith to search for ways to save padme. What if yoda decided to swap the masters of ferus olin and anakin. So anakin with siri. Obi with ferus What if ahsoka and anakin crash landed on bendu's planet. Also what if darth vader joined thrawn in meeting the bendu and went on a spiritual journey back to the dust ball tatiotene.
I like how Dooku acted in this alt hist, it reflects his morals and beliefs, using force, abusing and breaking the system if it is for a just cause, kinda like Abraham Lincoln, Huey Long or FDR
What if darth vader went to darthomir to learn. New suit or perhaps more unique powers. Resurrect talzin maybe. what if Vokara Che became a mentor to anakin as anakin was being treated for bullying and trauma from being a slave. What if anakin fell in love with luminara unduli, serra keto or bultar swan. What if anakin was taught by agen kolar or sasee tin or adi gallia.
I think a Jedi civil war was unavoidable in this scenario to completely reform the order to many Jedi had become way to complacent in their way of thinking for example sending only one real jedi and his padawan to fight a potential sith …. a large part of the Jedi and the council were thinking way to highly of themselves and thought they will never be opposed while also blindly following the corrupted republic I can even wonder if some Jedi ignored voluntarily thoses problems of corruption and a part of the Jedi will have followed to death that republic and the senators by a biased blindly stupid loyalty and would have even fight other Jedi
Good story overall in the beginning, not a fan of the portrayal of Mace, and it seems more people in the fandom have began to portray him similarly unfortunately. Stopping at 16:03. Something just doesn't feel right about it. I guess it just was a bit too far fetched for me. Keep writing stories though and have fun
I just want to say, ive only recently discovered this channel, but i am about halfway through binging every single playlist. My favorite what ifs are the ones where rex and the clones remove their chips and betray the empire. Now my suggestions for what if: What if the rebels were able to reactivate a sizable portion of the droid army and use them to fight the empire. What if Plo Koon showed up to rescue Grogu, Mando, and company instead of luke on Moff Gideons ship What if Obi-Wan was the chosen one What if paleptine had a health issue that wouldnt kill him, but make him slip up on concealing his presence in the force and the jedi picked up on it
Anakin: We're ignoring Windu to go on this rescue mission? Dooku: Nope to the temple. Anakin: Screw the Temple I'm going, these are innocent lives. Dooku: Good point! And that's how the Zygerian Slavers are sentenced to life in Republic Prison.
What if in Attack of the Clones, the Jedi joined the CIS after Dooku revealed everything to Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan returns to the Jedi Counsel with what Dooku revealed and they join the CIS because taking on Palaptine and the corruption in the Senate was too dangerous to do within the Republic. Being the Jedi know of the Clones and Order 66 from disclosure from Dooku how would things play out.
I'm not sure what's scarier anakin refining his swordsmenship with the help of dooku or a team up of anakin and dooku leading a separatist movement with clone troopers and grievous against the republic with battle droids with a reluctant jedi order conflicted on who to side with, the republic and droids or or dooku and anakin.
Why does every other Star Wars story forgive and forget murder just because the culprit is sorry??? You can forgive accidents, duels and skirmishes due to various degrees of recklessness, and e.g. the Tusken Raider incident could be rewritten as such, but murder, let alone of innocents or fellow Jedi, MUST be addressed by proper justice.
Good story. Knowing dooku charater this plays about right if he stayed in the light. I do love how anakin is a more discipline jedi under dooku training. I also loved the civil war action. Great story over all.
I was Married with a newborn Son in 1978. I was already an MK3 on a Coast Guard ship that patrolled the Caribbean (rough duty, I know). Pulled into GITMO Cuba for fuel and saw "Star Wars" at the Theater. I was hooked and read EVERY book Lucas Authorized which were few and far between. After being a fan for 45+ years watching those Perverts at Disney destroy Star Wars I had lost hope. Now there is a "New" New Hope and it is YOU!. Now listen carefully (waving my hand) "You WILL" make a go fund me and then produce a movie called a "New Beginning".
I enjoy these, I might not always like the direction, some things could be changed for the better, but these have been some comfort during my weird mental days. Can I suggest one? I've had a quick search and couldn't find anything, but What If the rule of 2 didnt exist during Palpatine's era?
Hmmm every video I have seen of dooku returning ends the same in Jedi civil war but the second best possible master he was for Anakin only being out classed by master Jin of course
The Jedi "Order" should have been more like a church, with the temple being a private church school. The order itself would be entirely separate from the republic and help the people of the galaxy with aid and disaster response missions and sharing about the force. However individual Jedi like Mace Windu could join the republic judicial forces, and individuals like Anikan could Mary Padme and raise a family, while Dooku could return to his home. Jedi could join at any age and family could visit their kids who become younglings or padawans. Once they reach the age of knight they can choose to "graduate" and go out into the world to live their own lives or study to become a master like going to seminary school. Once you become an "ordained" master you could start your own jedi temple, or if you are invited onto the jedi council you could serve more like a church convention, with the master of the order more like a pope. Jedi masters could also marry, but some still choose celibacy. Dooku becomes Martin Luther, writes a 95 thesis and puts it on the door to the council chambers, but rather than leaving it's like he became pope. This "jedi reformation". Where the new order focuses on the will of the force and are not afraid of attachment, but teach how to have healthy attachment.

Apart from the historical erasure of the Skywalker twins and their ripple effects, this is very very good.
A truly beautiful what if. And it's true - Dooku is a very interesting and misunderstood character
Interesting, yes. Misunderstood, I don't think so. I believe many people know he wanted to do the right thing.
Mace is a good reprensentative of the banality of evil here.
Indeed he is

Where the council saw a dangerous infraction, Dooku saw opportunity!
What if Crosshair didn’t want to join the empire, and stayed with the bad batch
What if Bode never betrayed Cal
This is one of my favorites. Based on the character in New Disney canon, it makes a lot of sense that Dooku would be pulled to save Qui Gon.
This is such a good story
Mace Windu is the true villain of the Prequel Trilogy. His hypocritical behavior, thinking he was above being corrupted by the dark side, siding with the Republic over the will of the force, etc. The Jedi Order was already flawed, but when he become Master of the Order, it was truly the nail in the coffin.
Bro dropped the realest statement ever and thought we wouldn’t notice 🔥🔥🔥
More like Mace and Sidious fought over who could do more damage in the Prequel era and the winner will be the big bad for the next generation
I blame Yoda more he was the head of the organization the CEO The Grandmaster yet became too laid back and lenient yeah.
Mace Windu His Jedi Pride and Arrogance became and Near Eternal Mistrust Became Partially an Indirect Cause For Anakin Skywalker To Turn On The Jedi
Didn’t Mundi have a LOT of attachments or something?

This is basically is Dooku's perfect path, I know you change up whatever for each of these what-if,

Only other person would be maybe QuiGon who could have (at least in cannon), otherwise only really Ahsoka holds the pure light-side with conviction and credence in a way described here.
I have an interesting idea for you. What if Barriss framed her master Luminara Unduli for the bombing of the Jedi Temple instead of Ahsoka?
Excellent what if, as always you make AMAZING videos! 👏👏🙂🙂
Really like this tale of Dooku not turning to the dark side I like that he trained Anakin and was able to lead a civil war to reform the Jedi and the Republic
Can we see “what if Sidious saw Maul as his true apprentice”
@@rachelprighel4409 thank you ❤️👍🏾

In Canon he did Maul was said to have a potential to surpass Talzins own which was one of the reasons he ditched Talzin to have Maul as a apprentice instead that and Maul was still younger and easier to mold and brainwash then Talzin was it was only after Mauls beating alive or not on Naboo where Sidious changed his mind about Maul that and he had Dooku as a insurance in case Maul failed by either becoming too crippled, locked up in a extremely high tier jedi prison, resigned from the sith order, went back to Talzin, or died yeah.
Hmmmmm, I don't think Mundi would give up honestly he may be submissive with a majority vote, but I don't think he'll surrender to the new changes. He's VERY fanatic in the current jedi ways.
This reminds me of Darth Revan and the Mandalorian Wars. Good thing those slavers weren't being aided by the ancient Sith Empire!
What if Padme somehow got a force vision of Anakin having nightmares of her dying, turning to the dark side, order 66, the Jedi dying, Anakin in vader suit, her actually dying and her twins being separated?
If Anakin told Padme anything about what happened with Fives (I didn’t watch all of the clone wars cuz Disney + is expensive,) it’d probably be a colossal political and military Disaster for Palpatine due to Fives having attempted to explain order 66 and Palpatine’s plan to Anakin, it’d at least i believe cause a large change to an extent depending on when this happened
I like the take of a Revan/Malak approach and rallying many Jedi to their cause, but without the Dark Side and mass fighting.
A jedi inner conflict....very interesting.....
THIS WAS GREAT!!! I always thought Anakin and Dooku were very similar. I love this ending.
This was awesome! That fight in the jedi temple, holy shit I wish we could see something like that on screen
What if Maul hit Anakin with his speeder In episode 1? And Anakin survived but had to get cybernetic limbs earlier.
What if Anakin found The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie
What if Ki-Adi Mundi became Palpatine's apprentice?
Could he hide his dark side from the Jedi by using his double brain to switch between light and dark? A Sith lord on the Jedi council would be extremely dangerous.
Why would Palpatine bother? Ki-Adi Mundi damages the Jedi Order through sheer incompetence without Palpatine's guidance.
The general consensus that he was a bad Jedi made me wonder if he should have just been a Sith.
"What about my attack on the Wookiees?"
so, when sidious brings him over to the Sith cause, he orders him to stay within the order and subvert it from within. Not by acting against the code but by using the code itself against the Jedi. Malicious compliance. Obeying the code to the letter to expose the weakness and immorality of the Jedi order. His unique Cerean physiology allows him to hide his darkness in his second brain. Of course, Sidious doesn't wish for such a weak apprentice, so he still orders him to be killed in Order 66. He had already served his purpose.
I am quite surprised that Yaddle wasn't mentioned at all in this one. I figured she would appear in the fighting at least.
Buuut, Nice Dooku W! A very cool video! I do think in their prime Dooku would beat Sidious in a fight like that. Dooku has just trained for it so much more.
Probably the only point in time that Dooku could rival Palps would be around the phantom menace, so I could see this outcome, albeit hard won. Though ROTS Sidious is a different matter. Really enjoyed this one regardless. Loved how Dooku and Anakin brought the jedi out of their stagnation and unproductive politicking.
I've got one for ya: but this is one that should only be done after you've really sat down and chewed on TOR, and I seem to recall your Old Republic chops aren't completely there yet.
What if Darth Imperious returned during the Clone Wars era?
Darth Imperious is the light side version of the Sith Inquisitor from TOR. He's got a kind of scoundrel mage with a heart of gold personality - charming, diplomatic, quippy, self assured, and utterly uncaring about breaking the rules. He's a fairly well designed character and represents an interesting thought experiment of a powerful and ambitious Sith who's mentality is stepped in a more traditional 'good' value system. Though I think the Light Side Sith Warrior does this thought experiment better, Imperious just has a much stronger characterization than LS Wrath does, who's genuinely more generic Jedi than most of the Jedi in the game are.
For the record: there’s been a debate on who would win a one on one match Dooku or Maul. Your video shows an interesting result. Good story thanks for sharing. Favorite part is how Ahsoka became Obi Wan’s apprentice.
Day 76 of my list. What if; Anakin never gave into his feelings for Padme (Pentre Patrol did his version), Aayla Secura was the chosen one and became Darth Talon, Shme Skywalker was adopted by the Tusken Raiders, Boba Fett saved his Tusken family, Count Dooku was a regular count for the CIS, Jabba the Hutt supported the Jedi at the Start of the Clone Wars, and finally, what if Sabine and Ezra fell in love?
There is? I've been around in the Star Wars fandom for a pretty long time, and I haven't really seen this question seriously posed before.
Hands down the best giveaway to date that lego set is amazing
Great video mate, this was really good. Dooku is a very underrated character and he would've made a good master to Anakin I think.
WHAT IF Anakin join Dooku in Geonoses, achive balance in force, together kill Palpatine take control over republic and start new force order
WHAT IF Venrtess and Qui-lan Vos kill dooku settled down start family, achive balance in force and start new force order and train Luke, Leia, Mara Jade Galen Marek, Cal Cestis and Merrin ( Luke start family with Mara, Leia with Galen and Cal with Merrin)
WHAT IF Yoda and Dooku go to Naboo with Obi-wan and Qui-gon and all died from hands of Maul and Plagueis( he kill dooku from hiding and after attakin yoda kill him and Maul kill Qui-gon and Obi-wan), Plaugueis kill Maul to convicen jedi about he was last sith.
Its such a cute reaction >/< ' my father is here, my older son isn't ready for the burden of raising his newly adopted brother, my father can do it though. '
What if Jango Fett survived the Battle of Geonosis?
What if Darth Maul was redeemed on Naboo?
What if Lando never betrayed Han on Cloud City?
What if Luke died on the second Death Star?
What if Rex killed Ahsoka? What if Ahsoka killed Rex?
What if Boba Fett joined the Rebellion?
What if Kanan survived?
What if Obi-Wan died on Utapau (either against Grievous or Order 66)?
What if Han Solo never met Chewbacca?
What if Darth Maul killed Kanan on Malachor?
That was a good storyline!
What if anakin was piloting before attack of the clones and sensed ventress fall to the darkside as her master died and took his ship to the planet to investigate. Perhaps starting a romance as they are very similar in their stories.
Also what if ahsoka taught ben skywalker as she saw him as history repeating itself.
What if anakin was a jedi watchmen or wayfinder.
What if anakin went with kenobi to face maul and savage instead of adi gallia.
What if anakin fell in love with luminara or your own version of aayla secura romance.
What if oppo rancis trained anakin.
What if anakin met and fell in love with ventress just before the clone wars just after her masters death.
What if anakin became a jedi sentinel like a watchmen or one of those who find younglings.
What if evan piel became a mentor or second master to anakin.
Or anakin became a healer either before or after his mother death could be related to his friendship with offee or alternatively what if he was trained by tra sa who taught windu and actually did not forbid attachment as shown by her relationship with tholme , they could become like a pseudo parents to anakin and train him away from the temple in azati martial arts and from trasa the living force as she is a plant lady so imagine anakin controlling plant life.
Great story like the way it went in the end.
I'm thinking that Palpatine would've used his power of the force to try to defeat Dooku when he determined he couldn't defeat him with a lighsaber as he did with Yoda. I think Palpatine was overall stronger in the force than Dooku was. I'm thinking Dooku should've been at least injured in his duel with Palpatine. Also not sure who is the better duelist between Dooku and Windu this is an interesting topic. Definitely think Windu has an edge on a darkside wielding Dooku. Not sure otherwise though how well Vaapad stacks up to Makashi if the Makashi user is still wielding the lightside of the force. Kind of like a Paladin in D and D trying to smite a good or neutral aligned swashbuckler maybe?
You guys remeber star wars battle front 2 video game how in the campaign in the jedi temple their was temple vanguard infantry soldiers armed with blaster rifles and pistols I kinda they were cannon and it gives the idea their are non jedi republic militias serving in protecting the temple. But I also imagine how tragic it be in a jedi civil war or an order 66 scenario because the vanguard soliders would die defending the temple lr be force to pick a side ij a jedi civil war.
What if anakin was found by jedi belonging to another sect like corelia or those nomadic jedi who allow attachment.
What if anakin went to dathomir in revenge of the sith to search for ways to save padme.
What if yoda decided to swap the masters of ferus olin and anakin.
So anakin with siri.
Obi with ferus
What if ahsoka and anakin crash landed on bendu's planet. Also what if darth vader joined thrawn in meeting the bendu and went on a spiritual journey back to the dust ball tatiotene.
Could you do what if Anakin fell in love with Senator Ryio Chuchi?
What if Obi-Wan brought dooku back to the light?
I like that one
He would use his separatist army to give independence to the confederation. And eliminate palpatine
Very good video. I always throught that Windu never trusted Dooku
I like how Dooku acted in this alt hist, it reflects his morals and beliefs, using force, abusing and breaking the system if it is for a just cause, kinda like Abraham Lincoln, Huey Long or FDR
What if darth vader went to darthomir to learn. New suit or perhaps more unique powers.
Resurrect talzin maybe.
what if Vokara Che became a mentor to anakin as anakin was being treated for bullying and trauma from being a slave.
What if anakin fell in love with luminara unduli, serra keto or bultar swan.
What if anakin was taught by agen kolar or sasee tin or adi gallia.
I think a Jedi civil war was unavoidable in this scenario to completely reform the order to many Jedi had become way to complacent in their way of thinking for example sending only one real jedi and his padawan to fight a potential sith …. a large part of the Jedi and the council were thinking way to highly of themselves and thought they will never be opposed while also blindly following the corrupted republic I can even wonder if some Jedi ignored voluntarily thoses problems of corruption and a part of the Jedi will have followed to death that republic and the senators by a biased blindly stupid loyalty and would have even fight other Jedi
Good story overall in the beginning, not a fan of the portrayal of Mace, and it seems more people in the fandom have began to portray him similarly unfortunately. Stopping at 16:03. Something just doesn't feel right about it. I guess it just was a bit too far fetched for me. Keep writing stories though and have fun
I just want to say, ive only recently discovered this channel, but i am about halfway through binging every single playlist. My favorite what ifs are the ones where rex and the clones remove their chips and betray the empire.
Now my suggestions for what if:
What if the rebels were able to reactivate a sizable portion of the droid army and use them to fight the empire.
What if Plo Koon showed up to rescue Grogu, Mando, and company instead of luke on Moff Gideons ship
What if Obi-Wan was the chosen one
What if paleptine had a health issue that wouldnt kill him, but make him slip up on concealing his presence in the force and the jedi picked up on it
Its a small thing to pick at, but the ability to absorb/reflect energy, Tutaminis, is not specifically a Jedi ability
0:24 absolutely brutal character rendition. His nose looks like a phallus. An angry one with those eyes haha
Its amazing how many of the jedi orders problems ultimately trace back to Mace Windu.
14:00 is just the mission “battle royal” from the old XBOX game “obi-wan Kenobi”
Anakin: We're ignoring Windu to go on this rescue mission?
Dooku: Nope to the temple.
Anakin: Screw the Temple I'm going, these are innocent lives.
Dooku: Good point!
And that's how the Zygerian Slavers are sentenced to life in Republic Prison.
What if in Attack of the Clones, the Jedi joined the CIS after Dooku revealed everything to Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan returns to the Jedi Counsel with what Dooku revealed and they join the CIS because taking on Palaptine and the corruption in the Senate was too dangerous to do within the Republic. Being the Jedi know of the Clones and Order 66 from disclosure from Dooku how would things play out.
I'm not sure what's scarier anakin refining his swordsmenship with the help of dooku or a team up of anakin and dooku leading a separatist movement with clone troopers and grievous against the republic with battle droids with a reluctant jedi order conflicted on who to side with, the republic and droids or or dooku and anakin.
what if palpatine told the senate his was a sith when he was elected
(it is not illegal to be a sith abd i think it would be very interesting)
Another BASED DOOKU BANGERR
What if Ninth Sister killed Cal Kestis on Coruscant
What if echo wasnt blown up at the citadel
WW8 breaking out in that temple
Can to do what if darth tyranus trained anakin after qui gons death or what if anakin joined the cis as a general
Mace: I don't trust this literal child who was s slave hmf
Bruh
Why does every other Star Wars story forgive and forget murder just because the culprit is sorry???
You can forgive accidents, duels and skirmishes due to various degrees of recklessness, and e.g. the Tusken Raider incident could be rewritten as such, but murder, let alone of innocents or fellow Jedi, MUST be addressed by proper justice.
Fair. I don’t really have a rebuttal, other than this is how I wanted the story to go
what if kanan jarrus joined the bad batch
0:07 lol I just got that exact set recently
What If Jaina Solo was the true Chosen One?
what if Plagueis killed Sidious when Sidious tried to kill him
Master Dooku, the chosen one we deserved
Windu casually causing a civil war because he’s being petty
The butterfly for sheer irony:
Dooku might help obi wan rule and reform Mandalore with the dutchess, so ironically Obi wan would have kids not anakin.
Always loved Dooku's point of view. In the end he was right.
Good story. Knowing dooku charater this plays about right if he stayed in the light. I do love how anakin is a more discipline jedi under dooku training. I also loved the civil war action. Great story over all.
I was Married with a newborn Son in 1978. I was already an MK3 on a Coast Guard ship that patrolled the Caribbean (rough duty, I know). Pulled into GITMO Cuba for fuel and saw "Star Wars" at the Theater. I was hooked and read EVERY book Lucas Authorized which were few and far between. After being a fan for 45+ years watching those Perverts at Disney destroy Star Wars I had lost hope. Now there is a "New" New Hope and it is YOU!. Now listen carefully (waving my hand) "You WILL" make a go fund me and then produce a movie called a "New Beginning".
Great story!!! One of my favorite!
I enjoy these, I might not always like the direction, some things could be changed for the better, but these have been some comfort during my weird mental days.
Can I suggest one? I've had a quick search and couldn't find anything, but What If the rule of 2 didnt exist during Palpatine's era?
Who made the artwork at 10:52?
Hmmm every video I have seen of dooku returning ends the same in Jedi civil war but the second best possible master he was for Anakin only being out classed by master Jin of course
What if Maul and Savage Opress killed Sidious on Mandalore
The Jedi "Order" should have been more like a church, with the temple being a private church school. The order itself would be entirely separate from the republic and help the people of the galaxy with aid and disaster response missions and sharing about the force. However individual Jedi like Mace Windu could join the republic judicial forces, and individuals like Anikan could Mary Padme and raise a family, while Dooku could return to his home. Jedi could join at any age and family could visit their kids who become younglings or padawans. Once they reach the age of knight they can choose to "graduate" and go out into the world to live their own lives or study to become a master like going to seminary school. Once you become an "ordained" master you could start your own jedi temple, or if you are invited onto the jedi council you could serve more like a church convention, with the master of the order more like a pope. Jedi masters could also marry, but some still choose celibacy.
Dooku becomes Martin Luther, writes a 95 thesis and puts it on the door to the council chambers, but rather than leaving it's like he became pope. This "jedi reformation". Where the new order focuses on the will of the force and are not afraid of attachment, but teach how to have healthy attachment.
