      The jedi were noble and good, but became arrogant and paranoid when the darkside clouded their ability to use the force. Instead of evolving and figuring out new ways to fight the darkside. The jedi stayed loyal to their old ways due to the paranoia of not being able to use the force to their full extent.

    Even though this is just a vision, there is almost zero chance Vader could beat Palpatine in a lightsaber fight. Anakin lost a lot of his mobility when he became Vader and his damaged limbs were replaced with cybernetics. He basically had to learn to saber fight again from scratch, and this task to build his red saber is early in his life as Vader.

    • @th0rn3

    • @monikleeeee9322
      @monikleeeee9322 Před 2 lety +115

      I think Vader could tank hits from Palpatine in a lightsaber fight. The problem is Palp’s force lightning against Vader’s machinery. But, I also think Vader could have worked on his own to make his suit less vulnerable to electricity attacks, as well as creating some kind of a force shield technique to further protect him from Palpatine’s lightning. I’m not saying it would be easy for him, but Vader would have to consider
      The environment he’s going to attack Palpatine in.
      -His plan of attack
      -How he’s going to get close enough to stab Palpatine
      -And finally use his force pre-cognition to give himself the edge on predicting Palpatine’s next movement. Palpatine is probably too fast for Vader to react and have his cybernetics obey that quickly, but if he was able to meditate on the force to see ahead, it would be like he’s fighting blind but he wouldn’t need to see, just trust in the force.

      I can see that happening with an animated Disney Plus series or on youtube. Each episode can be somewhat short like 22 min and it covers stories from each era. What if Qui Gon survived his duel? What if Ahsoka didn't leave the Jedi Order? What if Han was caught in Corellia? What if Thrawn hadn't been captured by the Purgils and Ezra? What if Rogue One failed to transmit the Death Star plans to the Rebels? What if Luke hadn't rush off to Bespin to save his friends? What if Han had brought his son back to the light at Starkiller Base? etc. The only thing though is it'll probably open up plotholes and raise more questions but I hope it happens one day.

Remember even at Vader’s prime he was only 80% as strong as palp. That vision was nice but realistically Vader wasn’t going to get out of there alive. He would have needed to find obi or yoda to even think of fighting palp. Then second off I agree with the other comments, it would have made all his sacrifices for naught. Everything he did was to save Padme who died anyway so now in his mind he justifies it all to become powerful in the darkside of the force. Otherwise, he caused destruction for nothing and if the Jedi got back control, he would have to 100% answer for his crimes.

  • @cristian-ionutapostol8018

    Honestly this makes more sense than the canon, I just re-watched Episode III and Palpatine lied to Anakin TO HIS FACE about everything and manipulated him BLATANTLY. If Anakin took even a moment to think back on everything Palpatine said to him and promised him, he'd see that Palpatine made false promises, accused the Jedi of potting things that HE was plotting, and turned Anakin into his obedient slave.
    The only realistic outcome of this would've been Anakin immediately trying to kill Palpatine when he awoke from that surgery, fueled by nothing but anger towards the lying old ballsack. I doubt he would've actually turned back to the Light Side, but I see no reason for him to not hate Palpatine with every fiber of his being and want to kill him ASAP for screwing Anakin over.

    An astromech droid, sometimes shortened to just an astromech and also referred to as an astro droid, was a type of droid that served as an automated mechanic, performing a variety of repair duties and often serving as an adjunct or substitute for a nav computer on smaller starships. Astromech droids could also use the mainframes of larger ships to their advantage. Many starfighters relied on astromech copilots. An astromech droid's primary purpose on a smaller ship such as a starfighter was as a backup or replacement for a nav computer; however, due to the limitations of each unit's astrogation buffer, an astromech could only hold a set number of hyperspace coordinates. The droid also provided in-flight maintenance and repair, and performed a number of routine functions so the pilot could focus on flying the ship.

      While there's a lot of damage new canon has done, a lot of good that was swept away, I like this change. It does a lot to underscore who the Sith are and their perspective on the force. They view it as something to be enslaved to their will, and their process of creating red lightsabers makes perfect sense in that regard. Does it sound cheesey relative to the former explanation, this idea of making a crystal bleed? Sure, I suppose it can, but those crystals are conduits for the LIVING force, and keeping that in mind the Sith process is essentially doing harm to that greater entity.

    You have to keep in mind that Anakin absolutely _HATES_ himself. Everything he did under the influence of the Dark Side, he sees as 100% his fault. He believes the eternal torment as Darth Vader (the suit/robotics are ill-fitting and cheaply made so as to cause as much discomfort as possible. Both to strengthen his connection to the Dark Side, and to weaken his physical capabilities so he's unable to properly challenge the Emperor) is well deserved. He has chosen his path, and to stray from it would mean all the death and pain he caused to be in vain.

    This event proved that the great tragedy of Darth Vader is that he KNOWS how unforgivable his actions are. He knows, after everything he's done, there's no going back. Going back won't undo his wife's death. Going back won't undo his scars. Going back won't erase his crimes, some of which are full-on genocide. Even if the ones who knew him forgave him, the galaxy at large would not, and rightfully so. As far as he was concerned, all he had left was his own hatred. Any idea of forgiveness or a better life was a lie, and seeing it only made him angrier because he knew it could not be and he hated being reminded of that.

    Fun Fact: Mustafar is actually Vader's *least* favorite place too. He feels immense pain, and sadness and hate, and it fuels him into the powers of the sith. So it's a paradox

    I was about to say, this is definitely NOT canon, and then I heard you say "it was all a vision." You know, I would really love it if star wars had different realities, universes, dimensions, etc. just like Marvel and DC, that'd make it more interesting

      They did play with the idea - with the Infinities series, but never really expanded on the concept beyond one-shots or short comics.

    3:48 and cut! If that had gone down I would be happy with this version of Star Wars. The new tale of how Anakin would reunite with Luke and Leia. Anakin working to redeem himself and undo all the damage done to the galaxy. Instead we are ultimately left with Mary Sue and “all the Jedi” killing “all the Sith”, notwithstanding the fact that Mary Sue is also a Palpatine and therefore the Sith win by technicality.
