What if the CCTV footage of Anakin killing the younglings and joining Sidious was wiped before it could be discovered by Obi-Wan and Yoda?
I imagine they’d hav found out some other way. Obi-Wan could reach out to Padmé and ask if she’s heard from him. She could mention Mustafar, Obi-Wan goes there and learns the truth when he says an angry Anakin and dead Separatists.
@@zackcross7190 Oh yeah, they definitely would find out by other means. They might not find out that he was responsible for the youngling massacre specifically, but definitely that he had turned, and their discovery would most likely be first-hand through crossing paths with Anakin himself. That's kinda where the mystery of it takes hold for me. It would definitely change the story in some way.
Yes
That was cctv, 😂
Didn't Yoda know/assume it was already Anakin?
"the jedi temple fell just as easily"
Every jedi temple guard and battle master: are we a joke to you?
Without darth vader the temple raid wouldnt have gone as smoothly but probably still would have fallen
@@iamaidansmith7542 The temple could've been bombarded from orbit
The fact that in the end children killed the Emperor after Anakin refused to kill children feels like poetic karma.
It's like poetry; it rhymes.
that CRAZY
This was rather interesting story.
What if Jar Jar did not suggest giving emergency powers to Palpatine and instead suggested that Jedi Order that he was friend with would have emergency power to have lead over grand army of the Republic for duration of the war.
"Mesa think be good ideasa for da jedaii have moresa powa. Have emergency powa!"- Jar Jar...in alt Star Wars universe.
Palpatine is like “fuck”
@@Zippy1527 “Messa going to hurt yousa, Darth Sidious. Yousa geta in my way too much. Messa going to rule the galaxy with Messa apprentice, Darth Reebo.”
This could be Darth Jar Jar's way to let sidious know who the real sith lord was.
I liked this, it was nice seeing Anakin get to keep true and keep his family. Obi Wan still having that comfort even in death knowing he didn't truly turn on the order.
I agree that Anakin would lose a direct confrontation with Sidious. I wonder if he had feigned compliance long enough to leave, then tried his best to rally the Jedi to survive Order 66 and defend the temple. If Palpatine still believed he was loyal, the clones would still obey his orders. Could he manage to redirect them while they were still under the effects of Order 66?
Excellent idea. But maybe Sidious would've sensed any non-compliance in him?
But if anaikin did that sidius wouldn't be able to do anything ATM because it would be very suspicious if sidius was at the jedi temple with all that going on
wait wait wait... Force Ghosts couldn't tell her where Anakin is? But Obi Wan had no issue telling Luke to go to Dagobah to find A certain lil gremlin.
Actual line from RoTS:
Palpatine: The council didn't trust you, therefore you're the only jedi with no knowledge of this plot. Every jedi, including your friend Obi-Wan Kenobi, are now enemies of the Republic.
The entire bit about jedi being traitors is only 2 sentences long and can logically be torn to shreds.
It's literal bona fide fascist rhetoric.
What if Darth Vader was given high grade cybernetics when he was given medical attention for his injuries from Mustafar?
He would've killed Palpatine
@@Irish_Georgia_Girl Yeah even if he didn’t have 200% of his powers. 100% would’ve been enough to contend with Palpatine. His the chosen one for a reason.
I enjoyed it. I like the idea of Anakin still having a line he would not cross. Everything that came after was a fun story too.
Anakin pulled a SpongeBob. "Nah I don't really feel like it".
Really good story.
What if Rex raised Luke and Leia, trained them to be soldiers and how to use the force based on his understanding from serving with their father.
i can see him raising them but he doesn’t know anything about the force so that would be hard
Slight adjustment here, add in Ahsoka Tano to train them with the force
@@mariusk-l1056 He knew as much about the force as Beru and Owen, or Bail and Breha
Plo Koon is such a fan favourite, wow😂😂😂😂😂
Here is one, we know according to info revealed by Star Wars Theory, there was going to be a scene with Padme when giving birth to Luke and Leia having a temporarily insane midichlorian count due carrying 2 children with Anakin's count. On that note I propose this video:
As Anakin is laying in the fires of Mustafar he thinks everything is over, Padme is gone and while he hopes Palpatine will rescue him he also fears. How will he treat him? How will his life be now if he can live at all? He knows how the Sith treat failure. So he pleads to The Force, be it light or dark, for an answer, this cannot be. And so he hears a familiar voice calling to him. He dismiss it as agonizing hallucinations but the calls keep repeatint himself so he answers "W-who is there? Q-Qui Gonn is that you? No, that is impossible."
Qui Gon does, as he did when Yoda heard him some force tricks, snffing out the residual fire Anakin was still burning with. "It is possible my friend, I have become one with The Force and trascended mortality. Do you believe you are the Chosen One?"
Anakin looks at his charred self and yells in pure hatred "NO! IS THIS HOW A CHOSEN ONE LOOKS LIKE?! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU?! WHEN MY MOTHER DIED?! WHEN I HAD THE NIGHTMARES?! WHEN I WAS WAITING IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS?! YOU ABANDONED ME LIKE ALL THE JEDI!" the voice replied calmly.
"My friend, let me remind you it was your master's apprentice that took my life away, unfortunately he did before I could finish my training and would be able to appear more easily. I could only reach Yoda who was so into the light. But I did managed to reach you Anakin, after your mother's death. Don't you remember?"
Anakin remains silent, he pretended to not hear, but he did. "Unfortunately your own darkness after that prevented me from reaching you fully. Up until this moment when you reached through the force in both light and dark and where a great vergence in The Force is nigh. I will tell you what I believe, that you will bring balance to The Force"
Anakin remains silent, his rage subsiding a bit but still present. If there was a Jedi he couldnt blame it was him. "How?! I have lost everything! How will I save Padme now?!" Anakin yelled.
"Here are the options before you my friend. I indeed sense a great darkness approaching. You can keep on the path you are now and wait for your new master a path I will not lie and tell you balance is impossible, but leads to a very dark path I cannot see into. Or you can join me in The Force, complete the training I could not and save your wife and be close to her, closer than you have ever been. You will find more love in your old master than in your new one."
Anakin's eye jolted in expectation "H-how will I do that master?"
"For a very brief moment a great beacon in the light is going to open up. One that can save the galaxy decades of tyranny and your wife. But you must be there for her Anakin you must complete the beacon, but not in the flesh."
Anakin hesitates for a moment, "not in the flesh" wasnt what he expected but it isnt like Palpatine had given him anything. Could he save Padme with him as he was now? Would Palpatine even care? This was supposed to be for her, not him. Anakin nodded "What must I do master?". As Palpatine's shuttle descended Anakin disappeared into The Force, Palpatine jolted out as he could feel Anakin's presence vanish, only to find his burned clothes near the lava bank, somehow Kenobi must have defeated him and Vader likely fell into a lava river just moments ago. "What a waste!" snarled Palpatine as he lifted Anakin's leftover clothes and metallic hand, throwing them into the lava. "Let it be here the tomb of your failure and the myth of the "chosen one".
At Polis Massa Padme was giving birth, The Force flowing through her like never seen in the galaxy for what would be a brief moment. She heard a voice "Padme. Padme here I am, dont go." She opened her eyes as she, Obi-Wan and Yoda looked in awe as the blue ghost of Anakin appeared before her. "Annie?" she asked. "I-I have failed but I promised to save you and I will, you must live. I need you, the galaxy needs you. And I will be with you from now on more than ever."
Anakin close his eyes as he transfers all his force essence into Padme, not unlike what the Daughter did to Ahsoka before disappearing Anakin looked sadly at Yoda and Obi Wan saying "forgive me, masters". This allowed Padme to not only give a healthy birth but her midichlorian count, rich from her children's blood coursing through her's not only did not receded to her natural levels, but adopted it becoming permanent and even multiplied as Anakin's own force essence took hold within her, feeling him more intimately than ever before.
At Coruscant, Palpatine sat in Yoda's small seat as the Jedi Temple was being remade into the imperial palace in shock he stood up as he felt like if a beacon of light shone through the galaxy lifting the shroud of the darkside. He reached into the darkside, into The Force in fear to gain any insight and he felt like he was reaching into Anakin, Anakin all around him somehow, only for his pressence dissipafe and see the beacon turn off as the shroud of darkness returned. He pondered about what happened. Could Kenobi have beaten Anakin and carried him away back to the light? No, it wasnt possible, he felt Vader in danger, he felt his weak presence in Mustafar and he then felt him clearly disappear. Could his apprentice conceal his presence to betray him? No, it was a clear beacon in the light. Even if it was and he survived, Anakin was lightyears away from reaching his full potential, this was even beyond what he expected from a fully realized Skywalker, but of course he could had underestimated him. He then sat back and grinned, Kenobi had not debunked a fake prophecy, he killed the reality of it. Maybe like just the Sith could kill for a thousand years the Sith, only the light could vanquish the light. What Palpatine felt must had been the last shout of the lightside, its last shinning to the galaxy before it was extinguished. Palpatine cackled as he couldnt help but wonder sensing such a beacon if really turning Skywalker was possible at all, maybe he would had been his downfall and the light pushed him at his side to destroy him. But that didnt mattered anymore, the light was extinguisged, hope was dead and Kenobi killed it, the Jedi killed it in their folly. Palpatine remained there gloating over his ultimate victory.
That's a pretty cool idea actually. Nice job friend!
Bro wrote a whole mini what if 😂
you didn't have tdo my essay for me my guy/gal
😅
Good
There should be a part 2 for this one. It still feels like theres a bit more to be explored with how the twins were raised, but also how things changed once they were ushered back into the light. For fifteen years they only knew darkness with the only lifeline of light being protected by anakin and padmae. With how abrupt and drastically they were returned to the light, saying they spent their time ridding themselves of the darkness doesn't really help me understand what kind of struggles that they went through, especially since their unique situation doesn't have many parallels to make inferences off of.
Here's some what if's
• What if Anakin Skywalker went to Malacore.
- Palpatine could send him their to corrupt him. Maybe he crafts a cross-guard lightsaber.
• What if Padme Amidala was a jedi.
Jedi
- Maybe her and Anakin become a force dyad and possibly lovers.
• What if Rey was Luke Skywalker's daughter.
• What if Kylo Ren didn't kill Han Solo.
What if no to the final two
This was thoroughly enjoyable. "Took 'ya long enough, Snips" had me grinning and almost shedding a tear. You've got a talent, definitely keep it up. I'm there for it.
Edit: regarding your synopsis, don't stop with your ideas. It's absolutely believable that Anakin was defeated due to Sidious and Magna guards being there. He could likely easily take one or the other, but with both elements, one of them fully sentient and extremely Force sensitive, it was no real contest. You did good.
Keep having fun!
Okay you let Plo Koon live. This is a good story.
This is more realistic than what actually happened. What Anakin cared about most at this point was saving Padme, and once Sidious revealed that he lied about knowing how to save Padme, Anakin should have been done with him.
"It's treason then"
😂
Shut up kid
The way the movie goes it sounded like yoda already new because he tried talking obi wan out of reviewing the footage.
I love it in this story it was turned around so anakin saved his kids from the dark side and brought them into the light.
Its like what george always said "its like poetry it sort of rymes"
The third video of the campaign: I wonder what you could cook up with this idea - "What if Anakin died in the Battle of Coruscant ?". I was personally interested in seeing what would happen if Anakin crashed into a munitions crate or something, dying in the cockpit of his crashed fighter. How would that affect Obi-Wan and Sidious's plans ? Maybe Dooku could finally convince Obi-Wan to join him, or something else
Wym kenobi plans?
Obi wan always planned to be at the chosen ones side when he ended the sith once an for all, that was his plan even said so in the clone wars ( s4 I think) I wonder in obi would have felt like it was up to him to end the sith with skywalker dead or to look after the twins to do so.
@@seth3k Didn't mean Kenobi's plans. English is a funny language, as I meant "How it would affect Kenobi, emotionally speaking, and how would it affect Palpatine's plans ?"
Remember Sidious wanted him as apprentice but he didn’t need him and was fully prepared to kill him if he needed too
I love the long what ifs especially with all the attention to detail and passion behind it . Makes for incredible story telling
I really enjoyed that you had Revan join in... WOW, this might just be my favorite video of yours...
Anakin really doesn't like people telling him to "take a seat"... it sets him off😳😆
Well done. This was a one of the better fan fictions of yours and really anyone’s that I’ve watched in while. It’s, for one, more original than most and that’s because it takes 15 years to play out rather than 15 minutes like most others.
I was saddened by Yoda and Obi-WAN’s passing but the Force works in numerous and mysterious ways. So for them to be a helpful guide through the dark times for both Anakin and Ahsoka was something else. Loved how the children were reminiscent of Vader saving Luke now it’s their turn saving Anakin from certain doom/ death.
That was awesome! The way Anakin refused to slaughter the Jedi in the temple, then how Plo Koon was leading the rebel alliance against the evil empire, then how Anakin finally saw his kids and made them see the lightside of the force then defeated Sidious together. Last the Republic was finally restored and Luke and Leia was training at a new Jedi temple on Coruscant.
Oh, ma, that was the best one yet. The action, the skills of Plo Koon and Ahsoka, The Force Ghosts helping Anain even the fight and strength of the Light Side, the good wins, and Darkness falls.
Legitimately the only complaint I had throughout that entire story was anakin losing to the sentinels but you gave a perfect explanation as to why you went that path. Def one of the best star wars what it's I've seen
*IDEA:*
What If Luke Skywalker(after ,,Return of the Jedi") traveled back in time to meet Padmé Amidala during the Clone Wars?
Reven:
"Oh man, I have *so* much to teach you. You wanna *really* mess with him, try this..."
1:34 she married him knowing he killed a tribe of sand people
Except he never said Plagueis, he said "the power to cheat death is an ability only one has achieved", since Plagueis was killed by Palpatine, I think it's fair to say he never learned the ability to "cheat death".
Personally I think Palpatine is referring to Qui-Gon in this scene, as he is the only person to have cheated death.
What if the Republic had actual checks and balances with a proper parliamentary system, such as in ireland, new zealand, or denmark
Oh God. Thank you so much for the good long laugh I had at time index 5:25 of the video. It's almost like a sick deranged great great grandfather- great grandfather moment.
The craziest part of your videos is the visualization. Its like watching a movie in your head without forcing it
I love any video that includes Plo Koon, he’s just the best
I'd wanted to see one where he didn't turn after cutting off Windu's hand, but this one is pretty close and is the closest I've seen to what I was after.
Really likes this with the ghost helping to keep him alive. I liked Ahsoka finding Anakin and Plo as grand master
Thank you for the story! It was rough, not in writing or performance, but hearing how bad things went. It was a surprising twist, with the delayed order meaning the Jedi in different positions presenting different outcomes. When I first heard it, I thought, more would survive, instead less did and it made sense in the context of the story (thank you for that afterward btw). It was also rough to realize that Anakin's involvement or lack in this case, did not change the outcome at the temple. I would have thought that his presence tipped the balance against the Jedi there, but again, the afterward explained in order to get to that end scene, this had to happen. Well done overall. A sad story, a story of triumph through tragedy, and a well crafted story given the end goal desired.
This video is probably one of my favourites of yours. I love that this feels like a way more grimdark story than canon Star Wars, and I love it.
The *real* Rise of Skywalker right here.
I loved the inclusion of RevanI would of loved to hear about him and Anakin talking about the droids that each built
I've lost track of many times Obi Wan has died on this channel.
As long as Plo Koon lived, I'm happy
Snap 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is the one I've been thinking about yet could not put my finger on just how it would flow together mate, cheers for putting it together for us all mate.
I loved this, especially with how it took place over a longer period of time and featured so many different characters in integral roles when it came to rescuing Anakin and taking down the empire!
A few ideas for future videos (one I think I might have suggested before but just in case I'll put it here again):
-What if Windu, Tinn, Kolar and Fisto knew about Palpatine's Sith Howl before they confronted him (so basically, what if they didn't get stunned by it at the start of the fight)?
-What if Anakin/Vader was killed during his march on the Jedi Temple?
-What if Anakin's mother was freed along with him in The Phantom Menace and went to live on Coruscant?
-What if the first Death Star didn't have its design flaw?
-What if Luke stayed on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back instead of confronting Vader right away?
-What if Sidious traveled to Dagobah during Luke's extended training in the above scenario?
-What if all of the Jedi council members escaped order 66 and went into hiding until A New Hope?
"What if Luke stayed on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back instead of confronting Vader right away?" yes
What if Palpatine office cleaner threw away his lightsabers the day before Mace windo tried to arrest him.
Palaptine doesn't know of it they've been moved.
😂😂😂
Lmao 😂
Funny as that may be, but Palp would’ve used the other dead jedis’ lightsabers or a laser melee weapon used by royal guards from his stash.
What if Anakin Skywalker was born on a different planet. How different would his upbringing be if he was raised on say, Coruscant, Naboo, etc etc
16:20 when someone says i will do what i must u know its over
18:03 She suffered a truly em-*barriss*-ing defeat. 😏
In response to what you said at the end:
The one thing I would really want to point at and say “that wouldn’t happen” in this is Padme being alive after longer than a year or two. Unless Palpatine decided to warp her mind or something, she would have been killed by him many years ago, not still be alive 15 years later.
That’s all 👍
Sidious would’ve given one simple order to Vader. “Dew it”
I like how they snoke'd palpatine 😆
Loving your channel! This story was amazing.
Day 23 of my list. What if; Anakin never gave into his feelings for Padme, 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?
Wow. That was surprisingly dark, pun intended. Nice to see Plo Koon take the spotlight.
This was very well thought out and I thought early on that I wasn’t going to like it but you took it in directions. I didn’t see it coming so I enjoyed it. Great job.
What if Anakin was found when he was young enough for the council to train him and he was never a slave. Essentially found long before Qui-Gon found him.
What if Anakin become friends with three children at the Jedi temple that became his BROS for life during his Padawan years?
And a Chance for the Sith to Finally be Destroyed with the Chosen Ones Survival
Another problem with this is Han Solo would never have join the rebellion if not for luke and laia so he would not have been there since luke never met old ben and never seeked han to take them off planet
Perfect, man. Absolutely perfect.
This is truly the best fanfiction I've ever watched great job
What if Anakin SOLO travelled to the past and saved Shmi Skywalker from the Tusken Raiders.
What if Anakin wasn’t such a dumbass and actually used his brain?
What if Luke and anakin switched places
What if Ashoka and Obi wan switched places
What if palpatene was just a puppet to the real sith lord
POV its may 4th and mountain dew made a special Star Wars mountain dew called dew it💀
I don't believe Anakin losing to old Pappa Palpatine is a stretch. Palps was way stronger than Anakin at this point. What would be less likely is Palpatine keeping Padme alive for 15 years. Maybe about 5 years then killing her to help turn the Twins.
Palps is stronger with the force, but Anakin is by far better with a lightsaber.
@@LainK1978 anakin lost to Obi-Wan. Would have lost to Yoda or Mace Windu. Can't see him being better than Palps with a lightsaber. Not at that time.
@@LainK1978yeah, anakin WOULD be stronger than Palpatine in time, and was roughly on par with Plo Koon and Mace Windu in combat skills with the saber. But what's shown again and again js that the Force decides all fights.
A sith lord can be beaten by a Padawan in saber combat if the connection to the force in that moment is dire enough. The force isn't a valve.. it's a door. And an ocean beyond that door.
It's rare that a weaker opponent beats a stronger one, but it has happened. But saber skills alone mean nothing, look at Grecious he was an elite level duelist.. but any jedi who's moderately strong in the force could easily lift him off his claws and crush him like a beer can...but such intent and will is not the Jedi way
It's one of the reasons that Sideous mastered saber combat, not because it's useful or valuable to a Sith.. but because it mocks the jedi. His every ounce of saber skill on the level of or above any living jedi.. is intentionally just to mock them and their symbolic weapon.
As Sidious himself said, a Siths true weapon is the force. As he believed and validates that a saber is beneath them. Who needs a tool when one weilds true power?
However had anakin been stable and rooted within the light.. he could easily crush Palpatine even at 24 years old. But because Anakin was essentially operating as a broken man.. and he was still unbelievably powerful. He couldn't likely beat Palpatine in an actual fight.
I dont even buy the argument that Windu beat Palpatine. Palpatine ALLOWED Windu to best him in a gambit to wager the appearance of cruelty to manipulate Anakin to "Save him" he actually had more than enough power to beat Windu.
He picked 3 Jedi masters apart in seconds and had Windu shook.. until Palpatine sensed Skywalker nearing.. and then.. he feigned weakness.
I'm too weak.. I can't hold on. Immediately to cackling and "unlimited power!"
@@david0987100well anakin only lost to Obi Wan because of his heart being torn to shred and his mental state being... well calling it shattered is an understatement.
Obi Wan BARELY survived that fight with a broken, misguided, unbalanced, and emotional anakin who couldn't focus on anything other than his own blind rage. He didn't hate Obi Wan.. he hated himself and everything, the war his mother dying, padmes inevitable death, the denial of him, the arrogant juvenile perspective he had. Literally everything... and on the inside I'd be surprised if there wasn't a part of anakin screaming out to Obi Wan.. to help him, to save him, to teach him, how sorry he is and how badly he needs his brother. But his rage and pain was all he could feel and see.. and Obi Wan presented the outlet for that.
I dont actually believe anakin could have just killed Obi Wan in cold blood.. potentially accidentally, as in unintentionally kill him yes deliberate in swing.. but then immediate shock and horror at what he's done. Anakin was never evil.. for the sake of evil. Anakin did evil things because he believed he had no other choice.
When Vader bled his clnew crystal. He saw himself.. cutting sideous down I'm righteous fury.. and then. He shut it out.
and I quote, "NO!.. I refuse, this is all there is"
Anakin, again chasing the only option he feels he has left.
What if Yoda stayed on Corruscant before Order 66 and stayed with Anakin in the Temple.
It’s interesting how all these Jedi masters return as ghost yet mace windu could this hint at his survival or his inability to become a force ghost
This would basically be Anakin Getting Rid of Windu Simply because with Palpatines Help He could
I look forward to all of your videos. They’re very entertaining and I am love how you do all of the what ifs.
Very Good Story. Here's an interesting one For Suggesting. What if Anakin used Earth as a way to Relive a dream to be a Podracer. Like, he became a Race Car Driver on the side while being a Jedi most of the week, but used the Earth Racing as A way to get Extra cash for Padmé and to also enjoy himself more.
Loved this, good work
Keanu Reeves making an epic cameo here, love it🤌
What if obi-wan saved maul on tatooine while in exile and helped him train luke in both light and dark.
Awesome spin on the story, n what could have been. Please keep making these!
5:51 My boy survived. Nice
WHY DOES THIS ALTERNATE STORY GO SO HARD 🔥🔥🔥
What if Count Dooku secretly going behind Chancellor Palpatine's back and brought in the legendary Katana Fleet through his mercenary contract as he prepared to destroyed the Republic and Jedi in the most embarrassing way: a bidding war? Count Dooku and his factor in Separatist watching amusing as Republic and other systems tried to outbidding each other for the legendary ships while causing their economic collapsed, further ruin Palpatine's plan for sith empire.
What if the Father transferred his powers to Anakin as he died?
This was so much fun to listen to!!!
17:27: as soon as you said old friends Battle of the Heroes started to play in my head. Asoka (Obi-Wan) and Barriss Offee (Anakin) mirror the dual perfectly due to their former relationship.
Edit: Shit I just realized that even the location lines up lol
What if the Clone Wars reached earth in the modern day?
what if anakin told mace about what happened on tatooine and mace decided to help him
This is another epic video well done!
Love it! Thx 🙏
What if Palpatine died of natural causes before the events of revenge of the sith? (I KNOW IRONIC)
This is one of my all time favorites
Anakin: "But they're innocent!"
Palps: "I have foreseen that one of them will grow up to kill Padme, but I don't know which one."
Anakin: "They'll all be dead within the hour, Master."
Palps (thinking): sucker
This needs a part 2
Han Solo would not be a rebel without Luke and leia and they were held captive
what if obi wan found general grievous before the battle of geonosis was able to save him before the CIS turn him into an monster
That was a cool twist, I loved this story!!
7:43 keeping him *some dude* until he is finally weak enough for Sidious to take over.
This is one of if not *the* best Star Wars fan fiction What-If?'s I've ever seen. A few things (mostly Sidious training the twins) were predictable, but the overall story was still full of surprises. I'd imagine a longer form, be it a single film or a series, would have more conflict for the twins as they are torn between the dark side they were raised with and the love of a father they never knew. (I was expecting an "I am your father" moment in this video.)
I do find it strange that Padme is still alive. I could see Sidious murdering her right as Anakin escapes to punish him. Maybe he would even find a way to force one or both of the twins to do it for him. (I imagine their upbringing as Sith would be extremely brutal.) One (or both) of them doing the deed might also create more conflict in Anakin as to if he should save them.
I'm going to stop this comment now or I'll just keep droning on, but I'll end by saying this was awesome and I *REEEEEALLLY* wish we could see this story played out in a longer more developed format such as an animated series or even film.
this was brilliant
