What if Anakin Skywalker Was a Genius

- What if Anakin Was a Genius? Let’s explore the depths of it in the video.
Anakin watches the people of Kiros being returned to their home planet. He and Ahsoka are among the many who volunteered to help resettle them there. While he is happy to see them safe, he still feels a twinge of anger at the Republic as the motion to provide relief aid to them was postponed once again.
It got so bad, it required several Jedi and clones to volunteer. This is just one of the many issues that he’s found with the Republic recently. While he’s no stranger to its corruption and incompetence, this one hits differently. As a former slave, he can’t help but feel a personal slight against it. Issues like this are why slavery persists in places like Tatooine.
As he hauls supplies, his frustration only grows as he promises himself to begin making changes. While he initially made such a vow when he was a Jedi, years of serving the Republic has made it clear that this isn’t enough anymore. If he wants to make real change then he must make changes through politics.
When he returns to Coruscant, Anakin surprises Padme by asking to accompany her in political events like dinners and rallies. He explains that he wishes to learn more about politics to better serve the Republic. She happily agrees, allowing Anakin to serve as her ‘bodyguard’ during these events.
This also allows them to spend time with each other and when not on duty, the two organize dinners, attend balls, or go to meetings where Anakin rubs elbows with powerful senators, business leaders, and other respected figures. It takes all of his willpower not to throttle them on sight.
Anakin immediately knows that these people are responsible for all the suffering he sees in the galaxy. But he keeps his cool thanks to Padme and forces himself to mingle amongst them. Thankfully being a war hero ensures they give him some respect and Anakin begins to forge connections with them, letting him start to dip his toes in politics.
One project that both Padme and Anakin value is the freeing of slaves in the Outer Rim. Although they dealt a crippling blow to the Zygerrian Empire, they still possess many slave colonies and Anakin wishes to liberate them. He explains the potential in these places and how helping create free cities in these places might create trade and stimulate the economy. They can even work with the locals to harness their resources and industrialize these areas.
Many senators agree to this and Anakin offers to lead the expedition. It takes plenty of favors and deals to get the Senate and Jedi Council’s approval, but he does and leads the expedition and the demoralized Zygerrian forces don’t hold against the Republic forces and are soon routed.
Several planets soon fall under Republic control, but to Anakin’s disappointment, the senators do not follow Padme’s master plan. Rather than work with the locals, they exploit them, offering terrible loans to rebuild their homes and effectively leaving them destitute. Soon, many of these people find themselves back in the same place as before.
Anakin is furious by this and is tempted to throw them out, but is barely stopped by Padme. However, he finds his frustration is shared by others as well. Many reformist senators share Anakin’s sentiments as do the clones who feel they are just fighting for the rich’s interests rather than winning the war.
Padmé had spent weeks trying to rally support among the Senate’s reformist bloc. She presents carefully laid-out plans to industrialize the freed worlds, emphasizing the economic benefits for the Republic. Many senators like Senator Chuchi and Mon Mothma, sympathize with her cause, but progress remains slow.
The Banking Clan and other influential interests exert pressure behind the scenes, arguing that the Republic’s resources were already stretched thin by the ongoing war. Others see investing in these newly liberated worlds now as an unnecessary expense. Even some of Padmé’s staunchest allies urge compromise.
To Padmé’s growing frustration, every credit allocated to aid the Outer Rim came with strings attached. The loans offered to the liberated worlds were predatory. Padmé sees the cycle repeating itself: worlds that had barely escaped the yoke of slavery were being plunged back into servitude, this time under the Republic’s economic policies.
Despite her tireless advocacy, the political machinery moves slowly, grinding hope into bureaucracy. Though she never admits it, Padmé feels the weight of Anakin’s disappointment each time she returns home with little to show for her efforts.
One day after walking Padme to another senate meeting, he’s surprised to find Palpatine waiting for him.
Palpatine: Ah, my boy. You look troubled. Tell me, what weighs so heavily on your mind?
Anakin: Everything. The Senate, the Council, all of it. We free those people, and what happens? Nothing. We sacrifice soldiers, equipment
#starwars #starwarswhatif #anakin
Anakin built a highly advanced protocol droid that could speak 6 million different languages and dialects when he was 9. If that is not genius, I don't know what is. His emotional intelligence is a highly different matter however, on that matter Anakin is indeed sorely lacking.
Anakin had high amounts of trauma and PTSD and was in desperate need for a father figure, which Palpatine exploited. Palpatine was also extremely intelligent and manipulative, managing to fool everyone.
Anakin didn't design the language module, he found it as scrap. He put 3CP0 together, but didn't design his programming.
While I doubt he had the ability to have blueprints, he just put it together, he didn't build the parts from scratch. As for the emotional intelligence, I'm sure the Jedi assume that he has learned to control his emotions in his childhood, since they were basically in a cult by the time they're able to remember. Since he was a child, and they kept telling him to repress his emotions without elaborating what they mean, he would think he needs to hide every emotion.
I think his emotional intelligence was capped somewhere around the time he was inducted into the Jedi order and all healthy emotional expression was forbidden
@@commanderlackgaming1230 so what you are basically saying is that Anakin did the expert level Lego set when he was only nine years old
Anakin: Frees slaves and weeds out corruption
The Jedi: This isn't how you're supposed to play the game! 😡
Anakin: Well, I don't give a crap to what you'll think! 😂
Ironic, the Jedi can take corruption of the force out, but not themselves.
Anakin: Frees slaves and weeds out corruption
The Jedi: This isn't how you're supposed to play the game!
Anakin: Game over!
Jedi suppose to be peacekeepers and speak about freedom and Justice... they are such hypocrites.
Finally someone recognizes the significance of Anakin thesis
Darth Thesis
I've heard of anakins' thesis on Darth Plagueis the wise but this is the next level
Anakin the smart?!?!? (Could never be canon)
hahahaha glad you liked it bro, thank you again 😄😎
Apparently, midiclorians are not a factor in intelligence.
Someone gave him a book on 'How to be smart 101'
Alternate title: "What if Anakin played Galactic Monopoly"
Anakin: Through advanced computational infiltration, I uncovered the chancellor's clandestine scheme to engineer the subversion of the republic, destroy the jedi council and establish a galactic empire.
Windu: Alright, shut your damn mouth boy
Anakin: "I've also decided to co-opt that plan for my own, minus the destruction of the Jedi. However, I need a patsy..."
"You have saved the entire galaxy, but we still do not grant you the rank of Master."
Anakin: "then I'm leaving, the council arrogance are pathetic and i could see no weaknesses but idiotic mindless jedi masters, also i hook up with padme so suck that i'm leaving. And yoda i found a stash of drugs in your room so suck that green old ass-guy"
@@Astroenian1-j8i "Hmm, the bane of existence, any of defy the Council, are. Destroy you and your family, we will, sucka."
Anakin: "oh that won't be necessary because i'm leaving the galaxy and i got fired for no fucked up reason by disney itself, also you have a fucking son so go raise him old green man.*
Palpatine: "Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"
Anakin: "Yes, I did a literary thesis on it. Wanna hear it?"
😂
I would guess that thesis was 50 pages long.
@@vulkarma741 I've seen longer theses. Still pretty impressive, though.
@@vulkarma741 No, its a 2 hour 30 minute long thesis its a reffrence to a very popular video by "seals are good" would highly reccomend looking up "anakin skywalker has a doctorate in darth plaugus the wise studys"
Padmé: “Ani, I’m hooome!”
(Sees Anakin and Yoda fighting inside the apartment)
Padmé: Slowly closes door and walks off like Domino did when she saw Juggernaut.
Or like that one crook did when he looked into a dark room and saw Batman and just backed out.
Other crook: "Did you see anything?"
"Nope." first crook said slowly as they continued on walking
*Anakin's IQ* Increases exponentially.
*Thrawn* Finally, a worthy opponent !
our BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!!!!

Mace is the problem. He always is!
"To be fair you need an incredibly high IQ to understand spinning. It's a good trick and without a strong grasp of starship piloting it'll go over most people's heads"
Anakin: I am the senate!
Yoda: Not yet.
I think Anakin as such a genius would've avoided the fight with Yoda and simply took a seat and tried to reason with Yoda, trying to convince him that fighting him wouldn't make sense and that the worlds are in a better state. Then showing him how much they've accomplished and how much the people approve, telling Yoda that he accuses him of not being any different from Palpatine and yet Yoda is here as grandmaster of the Jedi with the intent to murder him and take away the galaxy's only hope for stability, the chosen one, leaving open a spot that will eventually be filled by someone who wouldn't hesitate to turn the Republic against the Jedi like Palpatine wanted to. Then asking Yoda if this is what he wants, more death, more chaos, more infighting, more war. Asking Yoda if this is the Jedi way. Yoda would be wise enough not to fight the more Anakin presses him with that and confronting him with the undeniable facts of how much good was done while the Jedi were having a back and forth and their vision clouded by the Sith. Asking if Yoda still wants to show everyone the hypocrisy of the Jedi by killing him in cold blood just because he decided not to let the Sith and their allies in the senate play war and return to his ship and sleep in a comfortable bed while millions of others sleep on the dirty ground with little to no food and a life of slavery. Then asking Yoda again if this is the Jedi way.
I kind of agree. Yoda would be royally pissed at what transpired, but Anakin actually did fulfill his prophecy while genuinely making the galaxy a better place. If Yoda was cosigned to the bureaucracy before, he likely would still be after the events that passed.
Ahh yes an Anakin Skywalkr story to start my birthday off right! Thanks, Darth! May the force be with you
happy birthday! may the force be with you my friend
@@DarthTheorist much appreciated!
happy birthday.
Happy birthday fellow Theorist enjoyer!
Happy birthday!
Mine was yesterday 😊
Man anakin really brought peace to the galaxy
His thesis will destroy the tyranny of the Sith
Alternate title: "What if Anakin subscribed to Darth Theorist"
Excellent what if as always Darth Thesis I mean Theorist.
Well, then, he would have written his thesis on The Tragedy of Darth Plaguis the Wise.
Anakin joining into politics isn't a new concept, but this is by far the best version I've heard so far.
Plus I really enjoyed you having him beat Yoda, which not a lot of people seem to be willing to do 😊
Because he can’t beat Yoda, at that time, much less Palpatine or Mace… not that I didn’t enjoy it. Lol.
@@Jacaerys1 Sure he can, he is the chosen one after all.
@@Jacaerys1 Anakin ascended to Mace's level when he defeated Dooku. Mace only matched Palpatine's level due to the use of vaapad. In fact, Anakin was originally supposed to beat Mace when he turned. His floor / ceiling fluctuates greatly depending on his mental state, so it is possible that Anakin could get the better of the Yoda and Palps with extreme difficulty if he is both lucky and centered. This version Anakin drew on the dark side to amp him but didn't let it make him reckless, and was a *genius* , so his odds are higher than normal.
I'm still not seeing why Anakin killed Windu. He could have made a deal with him to back Windu about what happened in exchange for leaving him as Chancellor.
Windu was never a good leader or trusting. He wouldn´t help.
Technically he is a MECHANICAL genius. He just lacks common sense
I honestly would love a pt2 to this
Yea this was swell but light on Obi-Wan, but with Yoda and Mace gone there's plenty of room for that.
@ id love to see the Jedi aligned with Obiwan try and go against anakin especially after yoda essentially tried to assassinate him; along with all the good anakin had done in the otter rim and too prevent the republic from falling, id also like to see what padme is thinking
To the written responses of Obi wan, Padmee, and Ahsoka: How long do people have to suffer away from your sight when more can be done, but you say sacrificing your "morals" (whatever that means here because Anakin clearly isn't doing anything wrong to warrant such objection. He just isn't doing things the way THEY want them to be done) isn't *worth* the rapid progress Anakin's actions have over *your own*. Tell me, how much *longer* do you think a *slave* in the outerrim will have to *suffer* because of your lack of initiative and *grandstanding*? **You**, are part of the problem.
Yeah. They just mutter platitudes.
Impossible.
Anakin needed to be dumb AF to be the "Chosen One" LOL
Put him in Carbonite and hes the frozen one
Windu: “You think you’re smarter than us, young Skywanker?”
Anakin: “Watch the real master at work.”
(Anakin stabs Windu)
Anakin: “Well, you see dude… sometimes… sometimes sith just happens.”
What if ideas:
•What if Rako Hardeen shot the wrong man? (Anakin Skywalker)
•What if Ahsoka was a secret Separatist spy?
•What if Grievous escaped his capture on Naboo before the prisoner trade could commence?
Idea: What if Anakin Skywalker was the real Sith Lord behind the clone wars?
Reincarnated Vader time travel. Qui Gon meets a 9 year old Dark Lord of the Sith on Tatooine
Genius Anakin: "Actually, the Jedi _are_ evil!"
I love this seeing the videos actually get turned into a what if perfect
I mean I'd argue he already was since he made a droid from scrap at like 8 or something. Being smart at one thing doesn't mean he is omnipresent and most of his flaws and mistakes comes from a need to protect those he cares about which leads to emotional outbursts.
Anakin has autism.
He beat Palpatine at his own game. Nice
me, before watching the video:anakin with the political cunning of palpatine and the strategic genius of thrawn. someone's gonna die a very painful death, am i correct?
me, after watching the video: i knew i. how ironic
this got me into mood for more hoi4.
What if anakin Skywalker started a superhero order during the clone wars
What does that mean to you?
Like an avengers type of deal I would imagine @@ravenebony2267
@@ravenebony2267Basically the Justice League
@mohammadhosseini6675 so are we talking about recruiting super heroes from another universe or emulating a super hero team with characters inside of Star Wars?
@ We Can Do Both To Make Things Interesting
What if Anakin Skywalker built Jet Jaguar instead of C-3PO in The Phantom Menace? 🤔
What if he found a giant robot prototype built by Revan with Star Forge tech but never actually deployed?
I liked this, Anakin reminded me of a Roman General in this
"Jedi stay away from politics"
Bull
Jedi were in politics for thousands of years.
Multiple Jedi have even held the office of Chancellor.
If anything, Anakin is acting like a Pre-Ruusan Reformation Jedi
Are you saying Anakin is stupid? It’s not like Darth Sidious reviled himself to Anakin and he didn’t realize that he’s evil and tried to kill his wife😂
It was more then just his wife
@ I know but I’m just stating what everybody knows 😉
@@xLordDreadx yeah but a lot of people think he turned just to save padme but that’s just me ya know, personally I get tired of seeing people call anakin stupid for his actions when he’s more complicated character then that ya know
@ No his just blind to the truth
@ I wouldn’t even say that fr cause he planned on killing palpatine after
Did he write a giant thesis?
I am glad the jedi did not win. The way they acted were just stupid. The distrust Mace Windu had and Yoda attempting to assassinate Anakin in his home...
Another great video but I think you accidentally used the thumbnail for what if Anakin became Darth Snidely Whiplash.
The thumbnail 😂😂😂😂😂😂
BTW DARTH THEORIST, can you do what if luke skywalker time traveled to the clone wars
its on the list bro, in janaury!
@@DarthTheorist thanks and congrats on hitting 19k Subs
What if the Combine from Half Life invaded the star wars galaxy.
Here’s a meme fic idea: what if creamy sheev was completely and utterly incompetent at everything he does but he just constantly and continuously fails upwards and he always feels like he is riding a razors edge and that even one wrong move will cause his slapdash half baked house of cards with crumble around him. Think of characters like King from One Punch Man, Hercule from DBZ, or Buggy D Clown from One Piece. Basically ‘What if Palpatine was a Fraude’ kek
Love the channel. Please do more True Star Wars, what they call Legends. Maybe some Jaina Solo or Zayne Carrick. 🙏🤟
Anderson Skydiver finally has the power to force the galaxy to listen to his thesis, and they'll all learn to love it. Well, democracy gone, carry on.
What if a human from Earth became General Grievous?
He’d die quickly because Grevious’ species had a faster than regular reaction time. It was one of the reasons he was chosen for Dookus’ plans.
@@____________838 You are aware that all that was left of the original Grievous was his brain, eyes & heart, right?
Having a faster than regular reaction time as a Kaleesh doesn't mean s* if you don't have an organic body.
Edit: And I know that "reaction time" is basically how fast signals from the brain can travel to muscles and since Grievous had no more muscles as a cyborg...
Anakin looking ad the Galactic chessboard already being 100 steps ahead, hell even that space orphanage stood no change.
What if the Blockade of Taboo started the Clone Wars instead of the Battle of Genosis?
His thesis shall enlighten the galaxy
Anakins thesis is unmatched
Bro hit us with the ☝️🤓

What if the gundams existed in Star Wars?
What probably caused him to be dissociated with the Jedi specifically before the beginning of the story:
Them kicking him out after having to listen to his thesis for the umpteenth time
Here's an idea for a part 2, what if Jedi's used "Art of war" against Anakin.(The author of book was a gray Jedi)
What is Sung Tsu was Anakin Jedi master ?
Palpatine : Mr Anakin Brainwalker
Anakin : I Prefer BrainWrinkler
0:45 ohohoh! Grumpy wittle Ani.
What if Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano were a force dyad?
Oh, and a crossover idea: What if the God-Emperor of Mankind (WH40K) and Emperor Palpatine switched bodies/places? Force=Warp. How would the GEOM rule the Star Wars galaxy? How would Palpatine do in the dark, far future where there is only war?
Oh Theorist? I wanna know what you'd think about doing a crossover with the Justice League with only seven members?
I'd favor Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Black Lightning, Cyborg and Martian Manhunter. Because they bring different but valuable skills and perspectives.
What if the Bad Batch teamed up with Guardians of the Galaxy?
The best "What if Anakin became a Politician" I've seen so far. 🎉❤ he managed to quickly grow from a novice to a master manipulater who was able to put THE master manipulator himself Sidious in check as well as the Jedi.
Could you perhaps do your version of the "What-if Anakin became a Battlemaster and/or Weaponmaster?"
HEY! how about these two ideas:
1. What if the Naboo Palace had recorded all transmission during the Phantom Menace? Padma would have a clear understanding that someone had sold out the Naboo defenses and realize that this was a test for something bigger. I think she would share it with Anakin at the beginning of the Clone Wars.
2. They say that childhood ends very early for slaves, so what if the innocent child Anakin was never his true face and a much shrewder mind was behind those eyes? Understanding that the Jedi have anchored themselves to the Republic to a dangerous level, he will take steps to protect what he holds dear to him. As an example, he quietly keeps track of his mother and makes sure that the Lars family have the means to protect themselves.
for someone so smart he still nearly fell for Palaptine's machination's and eventually became emperor
What if ahsoka really did bombed the jedi temple?
"The entire galaxy shall read my theis."
this could be made into a sequel.
Indubitably my good sir. Indubitably.
indubitably 🗣
Oh no no no, Smart Anakin makes theses, and just the one thesis was enough.
Such a quiet thing to fall its far more terrible to admit it
The premise of this video makes no sense.
How can the author of the thesis of Darth Plagueis the Wise be anything but one of the brightest, most critically acclaimed scholar of past, current and, without doubt, future times ?
This video can only be a poorly hidden insult to such an eminence.
Yo great video! What if anakin was trained as a Jedi sentinel/shadow?
Anakin and Tarkin's relationship must be great during the clone wars in this
Thesis Time?
Interesting theory.
"And then Padme left Anakin."
👏👏👏 👍
Possible what if : what if Yoda and mace windu were the sercet siths or what if darth sidious turn the Jedi council and anakin remained in the light
The readings are off the chart... Over 20,000! Even Master Yoda doesn't have an IQ that high!
If he was a genius, I don't know, I believe he would write a thesis on The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis, The Wise as part of his knighting process, which would in turn qualify him to be the perfect guy to spy on Palpatine, since he's would be an expert on the subject.
And Mace would think Anakin's thesis is very boring, since Anakin wouldn't shut up about it, to the point where he would rather kill himself over hearing his thesis.
Maybe I missed it, was somewhat distracted while listening to it I will go through it again, but I would have liked to have heard what happened between Ani and Padme and their kids in the end
Yay
What If our Earth was transported inro the Star Wars Galaxy (while George Lucas and the SW Franchise still exists on Earth)
*Palpatine tells Anakin the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise*
Palpatine - Ironic he can save others from death but not himself
Anakin - Wait if Plagueis was so wise why is he dead
Palpatine - What do you mean
Anakin - If anything it should be called the “Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the not wise” because he allowed his apprentice to kill him on his sleep and the only reason why the apprentice did so was because he was an incompetent coward
Palpatine - Oh I see *internal rage*
Now I gotta know what happened afterwards, did he slip deep into the darkness, making an empire of terror like that of sidious? Did he keep to his promises and become a kind but firm emperor?
Hi darth theorist, i wanted to ask you somthing umm have you, per chance, watched Arcane from Netflix per chance cuzz i wanted to know if you can make a what if with star wars and Arcane if u can
I have two what if scenarios for you to do for your crossover Sunday pole.
What if Anakin Skywalker became Doctor Manhattan?
What if the Rebellion recruited Jin Sockeye to fight against the empire after the events of ghost of tsushima?
" What if the jedi decided not to enter politics and actually decided to save the galaxy "
" What if the jedi treated anakin much better as the chosen one rather than mistreating him"
Genius anakin: I'M WRITING THE THESIS ABOUT DARTH PLAGUES THE WISE and YOU, yes YOU! WILL LISTEN..! or die.
To be fair, Anakin was already a Mechanical genius sooooo......
What if Obi Wan used sand instead of the high ground?
Kenobi calls upon the power of Dale Gribble's stand, Pocket Sand
Sure, his methods were underhanded, but it got positive results.
DOCTOR Anakin Skywalker IS a genius
Did you never hear his thesis on Darth Plagueis?
Very interesting side tangent
Funny how Palpatine gave Anakin a good idea and then he weeds him out
This is literally what Dooku wanted to be
One question left open is what happened with Anakin and Padme’s relationship? I don’t suspect she’d approve of Anakin’s actions
Padme wouldnt have let him go that far
What if Palpatine wasn't force sensitive but Windu still tries to overthrow him
Can you please do WHAT IF The Jedi Council called out mace and had enough of his low key jealousy and hatred towards Anakin Skywalker???
here an idea
What will happen if anakin finds emerl (from sonic battle) instead of C3PO?
You should do What if Anakin had an eidetic memory
Is he HIGHly emotional that most of the time impairs his judgement ? Yes.
Is he Dumb? Hell no. He's a genius, both as Vader and Anakin.
