What If Anakin Skywalker Didn't Lose His Limbs

- During his first confrontation with his master, Darth Vader lost his limbs and burnt alive. What would've happened had he not lost his limbs? Would he still have the skill and agility of a full potential Anakin Skywalker? Would he still have to dawn the Vader suit, or would he be free to not wear it?

Would it be possible to do a what if Barriss fell in love with Ahsoka?
You took this story into some really interesting places. The ending was a surprise. But I get why you made it like that.
I am your 900th like
One question what was the name of them when you started the story in 0:49
What if Yoda found a way to turn to the dark side to destroy the sith and come back to the light.
What if when Dooku told Obi-Wan that the senate was under the sith, the council did a formal investigation and found Sidious’s plot?
Oh!!! That would be an interesting one.
He did. But it was too late.
@Richtshn06 they should have hired Robert Mueller and a special counsel
to add on, What if Dooku gave Obi Wan a vague hint about the truth of the republic, and what if the CT-5555 was able to tell Anakin the plot to kill the jedi.
@@clamchowder622 lol .. why? He would have spent 2 years and $20m Imperial Credits and found nothing.
My only issue when people redesign Vader is that they forget his eyes were damaged from Mustafar as well. He'd need something over them so he could see properly. Or new eyes all together
Pretend they weren’t bro tf
@@chideverett9580 lolol
Actually, if he had his limbs, he'd manage to push his face a bit off the ground, saving his retna... the sand wouldn't get into his eyes.
@@abhabh6896 Once again the sand returns to torture him
It's so coarse and rough
Gets everywhere
Even in your eyes
This isn't a redesign, it's a what if story, so it's what if his eyes and limbs were ok.
Wow, that ending was... wow! It's an amazing fanfiction! Ain't never thought that things could change so much!
This really another good story although, I admit I'm not a fan of such stories at all. The Stories in which Anakin remains a Jedi who, will not Fall To The Dark Side I always like more. As for losing hands. And Anakin's legs, I would prefer his arms. And his legs remained like those of a Jedi and not like those of Vader. I didn't think I'd say this, but I think it's good that Anakin didn't actually keep his limbs after The Revenge Of The Sith. Otherwise, Palpatine would have had to get down to business seriously to get rid of him. Palpatine in terms of mind. And cunning can be much worse than Moriarty. Tom Riddle. Otto Hightower. Olena Tyrell. Margaery Tyrell. And Tywin Lannister because, that before the fight with Obi-Wan on Mustafar Anakin who, Fall To The Dark Side would not have planned to make but, underestimate the mind. Wisdom. And Palpatine’s Cunning is definitely not worth it to him.
@@marikam2998 quite frankly a story where Ani doesnt fall to the dark side would be boring and unoriginal, and simply impossible, considering Anakin's early path to the dark side.
What if Anakin wasn't burnt at Mustafar and Emperor Palpatine didn't have Vader's suit and the suit's electronics to torture him and keep him in check?
that’s basically a healthy vader? he already did that
@@randy3252I think he means that he still stays on the dark path and palpatine didn’t betray him
I think his potential wouls be greatly increased,to the level of legitimate solar system destroying potential.
Bigger question is, why only rules the galaxy they're in? Why not all galaxies
@@TheTrueDoomSlayerplot
@@hananaltair3563I cannot see that senario Vader DOESN'T overthrow Palpatine
What if Anakin left the Jedi when Ahsoka left and liberated Tatooine from the Hutts & crime syndicates
I think the first half of that plot explains the second. I like the concept
What if, out of spite toward Palpatine, Mother Talzin made an alliance with the Jedi ?
That would be one hell of a way to bring balance 😂
Damn. This story became extremely depressing.
You have a talent for these.
What if the Jedi Council were the ones trying to overthrow the republic and Palpatine was the one trying to save it?
What if Boba Fett was force sensitive and trained by Mace Windu
Such a good idea bro gonna be broken af
Amazing 🔥🔥
Like Windu feels bad about killing Jango and leaving him fatherless and kinda adopts him to make up for it....
wpuldnt this be impossibe bcs Boba was a exact copy of Jango
That would mean Jango is a force sensitive mandolorian no?
What if Chuck Norris isn’t force-sensitive. But The Force is Chuck-sensitive
What if Obi Wan died due to Buzz Droids disabling his spaceship killing the life support systems and his ship exploded in fiery flames after missing the docking bay early on in Star Wars Revenge of the Sith?
*WHAT IF: Feral (the brother) Savage killed for Venture wasn’t weak and also became an apprentice alongside Savage for Dooku. Should be interesting for Savage & Maul!*
I like the idea that Savage stays a brute, mostly focusing on lightsaber combat, and feral focuses more on his force Abilities.
Best thing you've made so far. I've followed some other channels, I think you're the only one who truly gets Anakin's character. Good work.
This is a great Star Wars fanfiction story, Mr. Pente Patrol. I never expected Anakin to become so dark and vile, and I love the plot twist! This is an outstanding video you made, my friend. Please keep up the fantastic work, and may the force be with you!
Here is an idea for a future Star Wars story: What if Anakin ( Vader) became Grievous 2.0 when Sidious left him for dead but was founded by surviving members of the Separatists and formed an army of Mechas piloted by people who are loyal to the Separatists and those who resentment towards the Jedi and Republic? What do you think of that idea, Mr. Pente Patrol? Any thoughts, comments, and opinions about this idea?
What if Anakin didn’t fall to the dark side and led the rebellion
I believe he did that not to long ago
He just did that
@@debutriah2854 Yes but he didn't do if Anakin LED the rebellion if he didn't turn to the dark side
@debutriah2854
I meant actually LED the rebellion
@redneckgaming1590
I meant if he actually LED the rebellion
Very cool. Your story telling seems like a life of it’s own. For a second though, it started to look like anakin as emperor was going bring balance to the force as a sith and not a Jedi, and I thought well that would be really interesting. Thanks for the story
What if Palpatine left the droid army active to help justify his gargantuan military (after slaughtering the CIS council)
I always thought that bringing a small margin of them back about a decade after Return of The Sith would've been a great source of propaganda.
Yes they painted a picture of the Rebellion as the same group of seperatists but it would've been a lot easier and more impactful if it was the exact same military doing it.
Though I've heard that Palpatine went with organics so he could directly control them with the force.
_"What If Anakin Skywalker Didn't Lose His Limbs."_
He'd have the high ground.
What if Mon Mothma was Pro Imperial?
Or
What if Padme led the Rebellion?
Those are some interesting "What if's"
I don't know if this changes anything but what if The Father transferred all his force essence and powers into Anakin before he died on Mortis?
Could it be a route to WBW/FP Anakin?
What If Obi-Wan had cut both of Anakin's arms off and not his legs but Vader never burned
What If the Jedi joined the Separatists
What If Plo Koon trained Obi-Wan
What If Yaddle trained Asajj Ventress
Yaddle training Asajj Ventress would be quite an interesting story.
Me halfway through: Leia wouldn't stand for this. She has a backbone made of beskar.
Me at the end: I KNEW IT!
It was dark and painful (Obi-Wan dying never gets any easier on me), but it made sense. Leia's choice to die rather than be stuck there or let Vader have the satisfaction of dealing the killing blow, really struck true to her character.
Were these actual pictures of Anakin if he didn't lose his limbs and did you draw them? Awesome content by the way
What if the Separatist Council discovered the truth about Palpatine?
What if General Grevious remembered his past?
What if General Grevious was the Chosen One?
Oooh yes the top one.
Dam I love the last 2
What if Dooku and Jocasta had a (long lasting) secret relationship?
Spicy 🌶 🥵
Chill out psycho.
Nice suggestion
Even though I’ve only recently subscribed your Channel is still severely underrated, keep up the amazing work man
What if Anakin and Obi wan just tripped and fell in during the beef on Mustafar
Excellent easy to understand explanation clarified the whole process for me!!!
I’d like to see Vader beat Kenobi. In the fight, take no damage and kill Kenobi. It would bring the strife between Sith and apprentice much sooner. Also, what about Luke?
What if Maul was never cut in half never losing his potential?
Then we'd never get to see Robo-Spider-Maul and that would be tragic.
We'd see his whole life story.
What if Yoda left the order after Ahsoka left?
What if Yoda went with Yaddle to follow Count Dooku?
What if Yaddle survived and told the council about Dooku joining the sith?
Good video! Keep it up! Now, on the flip side, I would like to see what would happen if Anakin lost his limbs, but never never burned. I wonder how that would have changed things. Thanks again and keep it up!
What if Palpatine figure out how to make a proper clone for himself without issues, and became young again during the Galactic Empire?
That was incredibly dark but amazing at the same time
Okay this story was very good I did enjoy it I do wish it was a lot longer I hope you come back make a part two to this one and keep up the good work and May the force be with you
Yoo!!! This was wild, i never saw this coming great job man
What if anakin skywalker asked the Jedi council to free his mother
Then he'd be even angrier and distant from the academy once they refuse to.
The Jedi didn't care about slaves or slavery.
Another thing they had in common with the Republic.
I really liked that one, keep up the good work!
This is a what if idea I would really like to see. It has been done in a comic in a Clone Wars magazine, but I think you will do it far better even though I haven’t read the comic because the magazine is impossible to find. So the first part of this scenario is that Padmé got pregnant earlier so Luke and Leia are born. And when Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ashoka, Rex, Cody, Fives, Echo, Charger, R2-D2, and the reprogrammed battle droids leave for the citadel, there is a malfunction that causes the ship to exit hyperspace at the wrong time so it crashes into an uninhabited planet, which breaks all the droids including R2-D2, but not beyond repair. 21 years later, the Empire rules, and the Jedi are no more. The main Imperial enforcer is the Pau’un Sith Lord Darth Frage. The Ghost Crew land on an uninhabited planet while being chased by Imperial forces, and what they discover just might save them.
Excellent work! Is it possible that you could please do a part 2?
A deeply sad ending, for a deeply sad man..That could never be redeemed.
Ironic that the Empire thrived the more Anakin suffered. He would be remembered as a good leader, but would have died inside alongside his children
Good story! Very different take than what we're used to. Also, I hate that the only comments are "what if" ideas...
Imagine if aniken turned the Jedi council room into a bathroom. Turning the seats into toilets and stalls in the name of disrespect
Thanks for making me laugh.
What if Padme and Anakin were able to get Dooku to the peace talk tables without the Chancellor knowing and to forge a peace pact with the Separatist factions that could ruin Sidious's plans.
Excellent again sir
That was good I can’t lie , the twist at the end really made me drop my jaw 🙌🏾💯
So artistic. Darth Vadar actually became a threat to the galaxy.
What if where after Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and the clones are frozen in carbonite, the shuttle carrying them is hit by an asteroid, shutting down R2 and the reprogrammed droids. They’re left floating in space while the Seperatists manage to extract the info from Master Piell and Tarkin. Long story short, the Separatists win the war and the heroes aren’t found until at least during the time of a New Hope where they’re unfrozen and learn that Palpatine is the Sith Lord And now emperor, but Padme is still alive living with the Lars family on Tatooine with Luke and Leia. I would love to see a video like that
???????????????
@@MS-fh4sz You would need to watch the clone wars episode where they had to freeze themselves in carbonite in order to sneak in to understand what im talking about.
What if anakin fell in love with darth talon😉🔥
….Both being extremely passionate both on and of the battlefield? And having almost polar opposite, yet ironically identical morals in regards to Power? Yes please!
"MAYBE THE FORCE CREATED THE TWINS TO DO WHAT ANAKIN DIDNT DO!' That was genius content. I listen to about an hour a day of star wars content. You are the first person to ever imagine that specific theory. I read somewhere SIdious drained Padme's life force to save Vader. I wonder if you could work that into your scene some how.
Great story!
Nice work
if he didn't lose his limbs he would have made it away from the lava, without catching on fire
This is where the fun begins
"being that Vader is Anakin he decided to be dramatic" lmao
"What if" The Jedi discovered that the Sith Temple under their own on Coruscant was corrupting them?
As humans, we all have both the light and dark sides in us. Its part of being human.
Yo that right there my boy. Earned yourself a loyalty subscriber to say the least💯😂 that is talent. Mixed with logic I’m straight but I love you😭
Honestly, losing his limbs wouldn’t make any big cannon differences. He would just be obviously stronger and more efficient in his agility and speed and overall strength.
Also he wouldn’t be on the verge to death anytime his armor or breathing gear gets destroyed or damaged or bald and ugly
Even by your logic Vader would still survive Episode 6 and that changes everything
What if Qui Gon Jinns death made the Jedi question their role in the Republic. And leave the Republic to become neutral.
Here is knowledge that is irrelevant to Star Wars but you might find interesting as one who knows Vader's story so well: 1) there's no such thing as pain recepters, either in the brain or from the skin to the brain. The same nerves that transmit other messages transmit the messages of pain. If you can't feel pain, you can't feel anything. 2) Peripheral nerves (the nerves running throughout the body, communicating information to and from the central nervous system) can, in our world, regrow under many circumstances - whereas damage to the nerves of the CNS in the brain and spinal cord cannot heal.
Oh, and btw, not being able to feel anything is highly dangerous and usually shortens life expectancy by quite a bit. Most people born with this nervous condition don't live through childhood.
Now we need a “What if the emperor burned instead of Anakin”
What if Revan and Meetra suric returned during the phantom menace and found Anakin
What if...
Anakin used a Desert Eagle through the Clone Wars and as Vader.
He’d die
What if you were actually semi-intelligent and not an 1D10-Tango???
What if Anakin was trained by Bastillia Shan or Pong Krell . Also what if Anakin was sent to kayshaxx instead of Yoda. Also what if Anakin was an Jedi bounty hunter
Dark little brother, dark. 9/10
Thanks man
"What if" Sabine Wren discovered that she was Force-Sensitive at the same time Ezra did in the SW: Rebels series.
Noice as always Pente!
Day: 15: What if Talzin raised Maul?
What if Darth Vader led the rebellion.
Dope video Anakin Skywalker is KING😮😊
Kinda unbelievable Leia would go that far on such little information. Kinda seems like it was just added to give Anakin a bad end.
Your last two endings have been really good
This is actually crazy that a Jedi Padawan decided to betray his master for someone he was trained to fight against and kill.
I always wanted this one it cool how he goes kinda like Malgus
Anakin when he finds out where Luke was hidden: Oh, motherfu-, I gotta go back there?!! ARGH!
Remember when Palpatine told Anakin that there was a Sith that could influence Midiclorians to create life? He was talking about himself & how he created Anakin.
He wanted to use Anakin as a vessel to transfer his mind in (like Luke & Rey), but couldn't when Obi-Wan injured so badly. Losing both his arms is why he couldn't use force lighting, & each limb he lost weakened him since they had Midiclorians in them. Anakin was stronger with the force before he lost his limbs, but physically stronger after he became a cyborg
Omg hit after hit with you bro! Keep it up!
20:38 "I'm gonna put some sand in your eye."
Wow. Fantastic story.
What if General Gerivious and Shaak Ti fell in love
What if Jango Fett fell in love with Zam Wesell (but still had boba)
What if Savage fell in love with Ventress when she picked him for “breeding”
What if Luminara fell in love with Anakin (but he still loved padme)
What if Anakin had feel9ngs for Luminara and viceversa
"Decided to be dramatic"
This is where the fun begins.
i haven’t even started the video and i know this shits gonna be fire
wow! That was a great dark Star Wars story
Wait, hold up. Vader THANKED the medical droids, after he shattered the bacta tank?
Dark stories leave me depressed. This was a hard watch. It’s too well written. Fair play mate 😂
What if ahsoka go to all of the daughters power aka what if Ahsoka was insanely powerful, or OP? AKAKA what if Ahsoka became a God, 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If you want more specifics of what I want with this watch, what if Ahsoka what is insanely powerful it’s a three part story should be easy to find, but if you see that you’ll see what I want with this one
Great story
I don't think it really matters whether or not darth vader was dismembered during this fight.
I think what would really change the story is if he defeated Obi wan like in the revenge of the sith game.
The only way it matters is that Anakin would have been 10 times more powerful if he had flesh and bone. Force lightning is one of those Sith abilities that needs to come from flesh. Even George Lucas stated that Vader was not as strong as Anakin. In a Vanity Fair interview from 2005, George Lucas went deeper into why Anakin became much weaker as Vader. In the interview, he explained that because Anakin's limbs were severed and replaced by robotics, it was harder for him to use the Force than it was before his battle with Obi-Wan. Anakin's failure cost him his greatest strength and curbed his abilities.
I get what you're saying but I think the burning in lava thing was a much more serious blow to his body than having his limbs removed. First of all, he had already lost an arm by this point, and knew what life as an amputee would be like. Secondly, he gets badly burnt and gets major lung/throat damage. This would still require him to be on life support for his entire life, and also be just as vulnerable to force lightning.
He would still get fried by the emperor if he went rogue.
OMG THIS WAS PERFECT ! THAT ENDING WAS INSANELY GOOD
Poor dude probably had a toasted todger too.
it was very good but a video showing how the force balanced this change out would be nice
Amazing ending!
DAY:29 Heres some what ifs. 1.What if the Rebel Alliance was crushed on Hoth? 2.What if the Trade Federation peacefully resolved the Naboo crisis? 3.What if Qui-Gon Jinn had trained Darth Maul as a Jedi? 4.What if the Jedi Council discovered Palpatine's true identity earlier? 5.What if Leia became a Jedi Master in the sequel trilogy? and finally 6. What if the Jedi and Sith coexisted peacefully? PLEASE DO ONE OF THESE THEYRE ARE SO INTERESTING🙏🙏🙏 an extra one: what if yoda was the chosen one
What if anakin and Padmé both died in revenge of the sith (to explain I mean Padmé does like she normally does and anakin as anakin not darth Vader also dies)
What if the Jedi joined the sepertist
What if the Jedi refused to join the war effort
If Anakin died we'd have little basis for the stories and virtually no emotional story arc.
Darth Vader/Anakin and the entire Skywalker legacy are the literal foundation of the story and you might as well take the force out of the equation.
Hell, taking the force out of the equation might be easier than removing the Skywalker legacy.
I know that Luke and Leah would still be born but the entire series is based around the interactions between Darth Vader, his children and his legacy.
The original trilogy was based on him and his children.
The sequel trilogy (let's not get into an argument about it's quality or value) is based on his children and grandchildren with a main villain who's obsessed with meeting Vader's impact and terror.
Without Darth Vader in the original trilogy the story arc from the sequel trilogy would be entirely irrelevant because it was solely to build background on the evolution of Anakin and the rise of Darth Vader.
It would erase the entire emotional core, make the entire prequel trilogy irrelevant and take away a massive part of what the prequels were based on.
Besides, he's THE most iconic villain in all of pop culture and the series would not be where it is (arguably wouldn't exist) if it weren't for him.
The entire franchise has arguably revolved around him more than anyone else because he's directly or indirectly involved in each movie more than all organic life.
Even the films he wasn't directly in revolve around a villain trying to match the legacy and impact of Darth Vader.
Yes, I keep saying legacy, because the entire series is based on the legacy of one family which started because of Anakin.
He's not literally the entire story but (IMHO) he is the core basis of it.
I think that Vader should have lost the will to live at the end. It would have been a poetic fate.
quite easily the saddest story I've ever heard.
First time I'm here for a premiere: LET'S GET IT
3:29 "He would make sure Vader knew what failure ment." Well that's the truth. Sidious went on to spend three whole movies demonstrating just how to be a failure. Put all your military resources in one place, it gets blown up. Respond by putting all your military resources in one place, moving your throne there, going to great lengths to ensure the one person who actually blew up the last one makes it there.... and it gets blown up.
Lesson learned. That's failure alright. Couldn't have failed harder if I tried. I mean I've screwed up bad enough to lose a job before but screwing up bad enough to lose a GALAXY, that's gotta be some kind of record.
