- What if Anakin Skywalker NEVER turned to the Dark Side? Let’s explore the depths of it in this video.
Anakin meditates in his quarters, trying to forget the news of Padme’s pregnancy. Although it should be a joyous moment, the announcement feels like a nightmare. Every time he closes his eyes he finds visions of his wife lying on the birthing bed, dying alone as the pregnancy is too much for her.
With how often it happens, it begins to feel inevitable and he’s doomed to lose the woman he loves.
But his troubles do not end there. He hopes the council could assign him a mission to the frontlines, somewhere he can take his mind off his worries. Instead, they order him to spy on the chancellor.
For Anakin, this is just salt in the wound as not only does he have his wife to worry about, but now he feels his loyalty torn between the Jedi order, and his mentor, Palpatine.
Eventually, it becomes clear that sleep will not come and Anakin decides to get up and meet with the chancellor. The two of them meet in the opera. There, Palpatine finally casts his line to try and lure the young Jedi into the dark side.
As they watch the opera, he hints at the power that can prevent those he loves from dying. Anakin is immediately intrigued by the offer. This is the power he had been searching for since he saw his mother die. With it, he could save not just Padme, but his entire family.
Anakin considers accepting the offer, but something nags at his head. The way Palpatine described this ability as unnatural. Would he subject Padme to something that might alter her body in such a way?
The more Anakin considers it, the less certain he is. He decides to consult Padme first and hear what she has to say. After the opera, Anakin makes his way to her apartment. When she sees them, she immediately comes to his side and helps him sit, asking what's wrong.
Before Anakin realizes it, he starts telling her everything that happened that night from his visions to the power Palpatine offers. He explains that there are Force abilities not known to Jedi that can save her. For Padme, that is a lot to take in and she struggles to make sense of most of it. She does see the worry on her husband's face and cups his cheeks.
Gently, she reminds him that Anakin has never let anyone dictate his life to him. He’s always done things his way and he’s never needed dark powers to do that, just his passion and love. These visions are no different. She says she doesn’t need any powers to save her; she only needs to have Anakin by her side.
For, Anakin this is all the confirmation he needs. It's as if a huge weight is being lifted off his shoulders. While he is still afraid, he sees the hope and determination in his wife’s life, he feels a sense of peace wash over him.
Anakin’s mind is clear and he begins to see the wisdom in the Jedi Council’s plan. Though he disagrees with some of their actions, they are right to be suspicious of Palpatine after all. His offer was unusual as was his knowledge of Sith Lore.
Without Palpatine’s influence washing over him, he can see how dangerous these things are and why the council wants to learn more. Anakin decides to throw himself fully into this mission, regularly sending reports to the Jedi about his meetings with Palpatine while inquiring more about these powers under the guise of considering his offer.
To keep the chancellor from getting suspicious, Anakin continues to talk about his fears of losing Padme. He isn’t lying either as his fears remain and help prevent Palpatine from getting suspicious. For Palpatine, it appears like everything is falling into place, and decides it's his time to reveal himself as a Sith Lord.
With this information, Anakin reports his findings to Mace Windu.
Anakin: He won’t give up his power. I’ve just learned a terrible truth. Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord.
Mace: A Sith Lord?
Anakin: Yes, the one we’ve been looking for.
Mace: How do you know this?
Anakin: He knows the ways of the Force. He’s been trained to use the Dark Side.
Mace: Are you sure?
Anakin: Absolutely.
Anakin then hesitates, causing Mace to frown and ask if there is more. Reluctantly, Anakin continues.
Anakin: Yes, he’s offered to train me to use the Dark Side.
Mace curses under his breath and decides to confront the chancellor with a strike team of Jedi. He orders Anakin to wait there, sensing the confusion and conflict in him. However, this time Anakin agrees, and as the gunship carrying Mace disappears, he heads back inside to meditate.
With so much happening over the last few days, Anakin takes this opportunity to try and clear his head. Although he avoids Palpatine’s trap to lure him into the Dark Side, he still feels a great danger threatening them. Though subtle, he senses darkness is growing in the Force.
However, his thoughts are interrupted by the sound of shouts below. As he looks out the window, Anakin sees many Jedi rushing through the temple courtyard. - Zábava
Pissed off Padme steps out (blaster in hand) hits Palpatine between the eyes, quit playing with your swords and help me deliver this baby...
😂😂
The Fury of an Expected Mother.
Ahsoka: Finds the gateway
Anakin: Doesn’t become Darth Vader
Palpatine: I felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if countless Jedi survived the Purge.
We all know what Mace Windu said when he swore to himself.
😂😬
Why didn't Anakin ever notice that HE wasn't with Padme in any of those visions of her dying? He noticed Obi Wan who would have backed him up in making sure Anakin would be at her side instead of him.
thats a great point 🤔
Agreed that could been rhe warning to raise the red flag was he dead? Or lost though we know.
Of course if he was prone to thinking less like an entitled person, he would probably have also noticed the sith were behind all the attempts on Padme's life🤷🏻♂️
You don't see yourself in the 2nd or 3rd person.
Maybe he thought the vision was in his POV?
All part of Palpatines master plan to fake his death and force transfer himself into Padme's unborn child.
Please make what if anakin Skywalker was trained by the force itself his real true creator and father from birth but still met qui gon,padme and the others what if anakin Skywalker was reborn with all his memories powers abilities from both lives of anakin and Vader in episode 1 and so many more new ones bro 🤘👌 may GOD help you always and may the force be with you always
Its nice to enjoy one of these sorts of videos with a narrator who is literate, articulate and not some sputtering hyperactive mush mouth.
appreciate the kind words my friend 💪
I always wish you or Pente patrol would do a story like this where Anakin doesn’t turn and instead goes into hiding with the rest of the Jedi and becomes a pivotal part in the rebellion events playing out like normal and Endor is the final battle still
sounds interesting and definitely a longer story. Who trades places with anakin then as the new apprentice 👀
@@DarthTheorist Barriss. That’s why Palpatine never called for the death penalty against her after Ashoka’s trial. He wanted her as a back up. He called for Ashoka’s death to try and further push Anakin toward the dark. Barriss would become Darth something other than Vader. But becomes just as ruthless or more so.
@@DarthTheorist
Barris
Palpatine captures maul (again) uses him?
Star Killer (you can mess with the timeline and have him born earlier.)
Grand Inquisitor.
Trilla probably the most competent inquisitor.
Palpatine has lord momins mask I the vader comics so maybe him.
Idk we got options.
If Anakin didn’t lower the defences then the rogue Jedi working for Palpatine probably would have.
Yep, this is one of the stories that has a subset decision where I almost think you should make two.
So Anakin decides to not fall to the dark side, talks things through with Padme tells mace, almost everything and stays at the temple. Well, in this scenario, Palpatine was playing possum so that Anakin would have to “save him”.
But what if Mace was actually winning the fight?
It's pretty fucked up that the Jedi keep the ancient Force technique of "scheduling a sonogram" locked up in the restricted section of the Archives.
hahaaa
Darth Theorist needs our continued support on his channel because his stories are absolutely fire 🔥
Dude how do I grow s channel as fast as you do? Sheeeeeessshhh. It's crazy. Always bringing us great quality content
LOL! The great quality content helps, but really it's all about sacrifice to the youtube gods I've heard... 😂
All jokes aside, appreciate the love my friend :)
First what-if ive seen on youtube that comes close to a premise ive wanted in a video for a while now.
Basically just a long form video version of an existing, but incomplete, fanfic.
Similar start as this one (Anakin stays in the temple and defends it against order 66) but the Jedi take too much damage still, and Prequel era still ends with the empire. Just now Anakin and Padme end up later working for the rebellion.
Its a cool idea, just not a very common one sadly...
hmmm i could do that. someone else would have to become Palpatine's apprentice then 👀
@@DarthTheorist Not saying to 1:1 copy the fic or anything lol, just the starting idea.
Just something that puts Clone Wars Anakin (older or whatnot) in the OT Era, without being Vader. I do like to see stories that do that.
Damn, your Anakin impression was impressive. Most impressive ;) also the scene of Palpatines death was really satisfying. In the end, the devils burns to nothing but ash.
There's too many of them what are we going to do.....
Oh ok i got worried 😂
What if Revan wasn't found in stasis until the first year of the clone wars? That would mean that Revan in his prime would be alive and well, and Darth Vitiate's spirit would still be dormant since Revan didn't awake his spirit at Yavin.
What if the jedi and sith entered a cold war?
Where the jedi discovered sidious but couldn't act against him or legally remove him so they act throughout the senate and fight in secret trying to expose eachother for illegal acts and destroy eachothers image
As we know darth vader was a natural engineer and could use mechaguru or whatever so what if he used skill to create nanobots to repair his lungs and burns while also making limbs that could conduct the force to make lightning. This could relate to inquisitor baris as she used nanobots in the bomb and he may remember nanobots and their uses. He could could also conduct experiments diguised as torture to fool sidious, learning to heal wounds, make force sensitive droids/limbs and using nano bots to manipulate mididclorians to strip or enhance the force in individuals.
What I was thinking was that he used nanobots to remove scar tissue especially around the lungs and he would be dipped in bacta or bacta would be applied this would allow him breath which means he can meditate more deeply. And for the limbs, it is possible to make material force sensitive and I was thinking he make limbs skeletal looking like in attack of the clones but would then cover the we either grafed flesh from his body or flesh made from his blood and other ingredients like perhaps kyber crystal this would make the force flow from him easier and perhaps with the sith alchemy in the limbs making his force lightning more powerful. Basically an uber vader who is perhaps stronger than full potential anakin.
What if Luke was trained from birth?
I love Palpatine burning.
That one was beautiful. I really enjoyed it.
I love this one ! For the next Time why not do a What If : Ben solo talk to his Uncle about snoke and his feeling ( beeing lonely etc)
Sorry i’m French my english is not real good !
I’d have loved to see this version play out!
3:24 You doing okay, Closed Captions? You look like you're having a little seizure there for a moment.
LMAO damn youtube 😬😬
Great narration my friend! I know this channel will succeed!
thanks for the motivation 😀
Well done my favorite duo getting rid of Palpatine
I swear you've changed the thumbnail 3 times but its a great video i love it very underrated channel i hope the best for you
Thank you bro, gotta split test you know 🥹
@@DarthTheorist all goods
Well done, thank you.
IT'S TREASON THEN?
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.
What if anakin spirit in the world between worlds saved padme by making her a force ghost or new mother if the ones. She could make him help ben solo and others saying you got to help people who are suffering from your past actions.
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.
What if the yuuzhan vong Invited the galaxy during the clone wars
I think in this Scenario Padma would of been lost when the vong siege of Coruscant
And if The twins are still born during this time Anakin would not be able to Take care of them
He would be too Involved in the conflict And he would be The greatest weapon But anakin would mentally Not well He would become increasingly more dark As the war progressed
And Really the only person That could take care of the twins And be like a mother to them would be ahsoka Which would be awkward and sad when they call her mom But she would grow very Attached to them emotionally and Through the force
And The chancellor would probably send Obi wan with grievous To keep him.
Away from Anakin and that would lead to fun interactions between grievous and Obi.Wan
What if the Sith Empire (swtor) attacked during the clone wars
tense
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.
What If Quinlan Vos (as the leader of the Hidden Path) knew about Peridea?
What if galen merrick/Starkiller was the son of darth vader and ahsoka
( I think if disney made those games back then That Would be there new origin for him😅 )
BRUH WHY That's disgusting.
That will never happen cos Anakin is Darth Vader... Anakin not trying to be Darth Vader, Darth Vader trying to be Anakin Skywalker... Let me explain... For years Anakin was always subjected to poverty, answering yessir to his master, underutilized and talents overlooked, he never truly got to be grandmaster one cos the Jedi council felt threatened with his skills set and two he had so much evil in his ❤️ the term "chosen one" got to his head that everything and everyone was a threat to him. So when he wore the mask of Darth Vader, he essentially thought he could wipe off Anakin Skywalker but all the armor, red Kaiba crystals and mask was keeping him hooked in misery, pain, and evil trying so desperately to prove that he is greater than the Jedi council by slaughtering them in order 66 WITHOUT mercy as Darth Vader but as he got older and weaker he realized he hasn't changed he's still that scared little orphan that lost everything afraid that he'll NEVER assume greatness so wearing the mask of Anakin Skywalker he inflicted his pain and hatred towards the galaxy... In the end in return of the Jedi, Darth Vader dying wish was to see his only son with "his own eyes" and the only way to do that is by removing the mask of Anakin Skywalker returning back as a Jedi
love your description of the canon 🙂 but you must admit, everything had to fall into place perfectly for palpatine and the sith for anakin to turn to the dark side. If a couple of those situations turned out differently, there's certainly a good chance he may not have turned in revenge of the sith
@@DarthTheorist Yes brother you have a valid point he was so hooked on emotions the loss of his mother, slavery, looked down on by the Jedi council that he was fooled to believe that he is cure but instead he's the cancer.... I just wish he was intelligent enough to see through the b...s... of Palpatine
@@TV14greaterthanPG agreed , it’s always so sad seeing his descent into darkness everytime I watch episode 3 😭
@@DarthTheorist Yes brother that's y Yoda was the first to see the pure evil in his 💜 if you see the way Anakin handles constructive criticism, he has a 🖤 scowling at the Jedi council
