What if Vader Was Emperor
What if Vader Survived
What if Vader Killed Luke
What if Vader turned

[DankFarrik]

It's no lie that the channel has put out a handful of Vader based things over the week! That binge on him will end for now with this Star Wars What If. But don't worry, he'll make his comebacks! As for the What If though... What do you think would have happened as Endor or the Death Star if Vader was Emperor? Perhaps the outcome changed entirely? Perhaps it stayed the same? These are some of the more fun things to toy with, and imagine how they would play out. -- Lastly, if you have any future What If ideas, feel free to let me know in a comment! Cheers.

My version Is that he heals himself, free slaves, stop galaxy hunger-wide, makes an alliance with the rebels and search how to bring back Padmé

I have a feeling that Vader would probably have a put an end to slavery and taken out the hutts and Jabba.

In a way, Vader would be a more "benevolent" emperor, since he probably would have abolish slavery, erradicate a lot of corruption (with death penalty, obviously), and even purge a lot of the empire high command.
However, i think he would have left the governing responsability in other military and political leaders and not handling all around him (like Palpatine)

The first death star would have been dismantled for scrap. In my opion Vader would have seen it as a source of discontent and a target for rebellion rather than intimidate it. Anakin had actially helped train rebels during the clone wars, which meant Vader knew how rebels thought, reasoned and would react far better than Tarkin did.

Now if one Luke Skywalker managed to blow up DS1 before while Vader and Tarkin are arguing about what to do with it. Vader is going to get his I told you so in and refuse to double down on stupid. There will be no death star 2.When he finds out about Luke he will spare no effort in finding his son.

I’ve enjoyed the Vader content this week! Awesome what if by the way. I really never thought of him having to deal with the contingency plan

Long Live The Empire!
Long Live Emperor Vader!

[RyanTheDark]

I feel like the Empire would remain, but Luke and Leia (her home planet wouldn't be destroyed this time especially with Vader not wanting the Death Star as he sees it minor compared to the power of the Force) would successfully turn Vader back to the light and kill Tarkin like a lightsaber through the back. He wouldn't die this time. Many rebels would seek to charge him, but Leia have an idea; if Vader can use his position as Emperor, he can reinstate the members of the Alliance. This condition would only be accepted if Vader is not charged for crimes. The rebels would accept since they would be intimidated as it is, and the Empire would be lighter.

if vader ruled the death star would have been scraped and the resourses used would be put in to the fleet and navy

Dank Farrik if vader was emperor there would be nothing to rebel against or they wouldnt have any support like the kalmri cause vader would abolhish slavery aliens got nothing to be mad and defeated
please collab with me on this i really want to make a video like this cause what if he not just had a empire but also exogul sith elitest and knights of vader and his son would rise up through the academy like he wanted and get noticed by vader and through that i'll not spoil things yet it be a big power move and dont forget piett vader had respects for and he could produce more clones so no kamino rebelion and with loyality he grows power he wouldnt purge mandalore so they be loyal to him and then by endor its the sith empire with the chosen one u got military droids clone wars era to empire era to new weapons ships vehicles he be unstoppable
