What if Anakin Skywalker Betrayed Palpatine and Became Emperor

What if Anakin Skywalker Betrayed Palpatine and Became Emperor? Let’s explore the depths of this scenario in the video.

As Palpatine watches the Jedi Temple burning in the distance, he smiles knowing all that remains is dealing with the CIS council. Something Anakin should be more than capable of. The office doors slide open and Anakin enters, grim-faced and staring at him.

Palpatine: Excellent job, my boy. I have one final task for you and I shall teach you everything I know.

A flicker of amusement crosses Anakin’s face as he stares at the chancellor. Palpatine frowns as he leans closer.

Palpatine: Is something wrong?

Anakin: No, not at all. I was just thinking as I stormed the Jedi archives, I realized something. Master Jocasta controlled access to the secret data banks and I had just killed her. So I took the data off her and have access myself.

Palpatine: And what does that mean?

Anakin: It means, I have all the information I need at my fingertips. You’re useless to me now, Chancellor.

Palpatine surges to his feet, but Anakin is faster. He throws both hands out and lifts Palpatine off the ground before slamming him against the wall. He smirks and draws his lightsaber.

Snarling, the emperor draws his own and moves to meet him. Rather than attack him directly, Palpatine veers to the side and lifts a shelf to throw at him first. Anakin slices it apart and then holds his lightsaber defensively to block his attack. As Palpatine bears down on him, Anakin twists it away and does a backflip.

He pushes the chancellor’s desk over and slides it towards Palpatine who leaps over it. As his feet touch the ground, Anakin presses him again. His movements grow faster and more aggressive as he doesn’t hold back. The memories of what he did in the temple are still fresh in his mind and fuel his rage. That is something that Palpatine can’t hope to match.

Soon, the emperor finds stumbling back from the attacks. He knew Anakin was strong, but the power of his attacks takes Palpatine off guard and he finds himself on the back foot. Desperately, he tries to get some distance to unleash Force Lightning on Anakin, but the Jedi easily blocks it, though it keeps Anakin in place and prevents him from stepping forward.

Anakin feels his body trembling to keep the emperor’s attack back. He continues to fight against it, but then wills himself to step forward. With great effort, he manages to take a step forward, then another. He summons all his strength to keep moving.

However, as he draws closer, the lightning grows stronger. It starts to singe his skin as stray sparks strike his face. The burning sensation spreads across his face, but he ignores it and continues to advance, pushing Palpatine’s powers to it’s breaking point.

Palpatine falters due to fatigue until it becomes too much. His hand drops to the ground and he falls to his knees. Anakin prepares to finish him off, but Palpatine blocks the attack with his lightsabers.

In desperation, his other hand reaches for a second lightsaber he keeps hidden. Anakin notices the movement and catches the chancellor’s hand with his robotic hand and gives a cruel twist. There is a loud snap as Palpatine’s hand breaks. The pain shatters his concentration, allowing Anakin to bring his lightsaber across Palpatine’s face.

Anakin has little time to rest as he makes his way over to the Senate floor to reveal everything.

Anakin: I come to you today to report the tragic loss of our chancellor. In his final days, he discovered a plot by the Jedi to usurp the government. He ordered me to quell this rebellion quickly, but while I stormed the Jedi Temple, a group of Jedi assassinated the chancellor. In his final breaths, he informed me that he wished for me to continue leading the Republic in his stead. I did not want to be put into this position but in memory of our glorious chancellor, I must respect his final wishes and continue what he started!

The senate erupts in thunderous applause, able to be heard even outside the chambers.

Anakin: Although Dooku and Grievous have been defeated, the CIS remains at large and I shall see us through this crisis until they are all defeated. To ensure our continued security and stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the Galactic Empire! We Shall Finally End This War!

The senators welcome this development. All around him, cheers and applause erupt from the people who welcome this change. They are eager to see an end to this war and Anakin certainly looks like he can handle it. He is young, energetic, and already a decorated war hero.

Not everyone joins the applause though as Padme and a few others hesitate. However, she can do little as her pregnancy reaches its final stages, forcing her to take a break from politics to prepare for the birth.

This was one hell of a redemption story.

[nagolloop]

Ima be real, Anakin could’ve been brought back to the Light a lot easier if Padme tried to talk him down with the children born instead of having them taken to spiral him more

[sw-rs]

What if Sev'rance Tann survived the Battle of Krant?

Also, congrats on 10k!

[captainjoziah]

You should start a Spotify and upload on there as well! A lot of people would listen to

[DarklightAlexEdits]

The premise of this What If is exactly what would happen if Anakin defeated Obi-Wan on Mustafar lol.

[awesomejman]

Who's the girl who does padme's lines? Whom ever she is give her a pat on the back! Shes done a few voices and every time she ace's them

[TonyAncom]

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.

[mrrageux]

Hello Darth Theorist, I sincerely wanted to thank you for your videos, which have personally made me dream for quite some time!

Do you think it would be possible to create a theory about this: What would have happened if Ben, instead of going to meet Snoke, had immediately gone to see his mother after Luke attempted to kill him?

[Ravenfanatic]

Wow what a story. From Emperor to redemption arc. Good video👍🏽👍🏽

[Odinfang]

Great vid bud. I know it was mentioned before, but I’d love to ask it in a better way. What if Alex Mercer entered the Star Wars Galaxy as the clone wars begin? I feel like he would gain force sensitivity and knowledge on how to wield it by managing to consume Jedi and their midichlorians, possibly dark siders if he manages to find them.

[BlueBoxRevan]

No crossover? Half expected Spiderman or Deadpool to make a cameo lmao

[pradananoval]

First video hopefully until subscriber

[bigwsly]

16:00 great video but there is no way anakin is letting either of them live

He already tried to kill padme when she legitimately did nothing wrong and obi wan snuck aboard if she admits that she helped obi wan steal the children which basically caused Anakin to lose his power in the empire he would have more than enough motivation to kill them both

[marcusisgod]

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.

This could’ve been longer or there could’ve been a part two and they could’ve done a few more things to set the universe right

[aratakasuga]

Wow the Padme betray arc :l Poor Anakin

[whiterabbit]

Day 3 of asking:What if Godzilla earth(in his 300 meter state)was in Star Wars

[dannyyb]

Padme is the hottest chick in the whole galaxy

[JeremiahWiebe]

I think Anakin should’ve survived they should’ve came back and eventually he should’ve trained star killer along with his children

[surferdude]

That's one way of bringing balance to the force.
What if Anakin saw through Palpatine's lies from the beginning and played him?
