"It's for you, my son, I will tear down this empire...."

I can just imagine Darth Vader voice saying it

[jdgreen]

What if the entire Jedi council was pulled onto Mortis with Anakin, Obi-wan and Ahsoka

[mrghostly]

Vader being on the rebel's side would be so cool. Having a sith father would be difficult but a jedi son might hold back his aggression....

[Lucos]

Han being the son-in-law of Vader is crazy to think about. Thanks for the sunset ending!

[bercalziner]

What if Jar Jar accidentally knocked the lightsaber from Palpatine’s sleeve?

What if Vader never followed the Tantive and Leia met Luke on Tatooine?

What if Revan was never rescued from stasis and was discovered during the Clone Wars?

[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.

9:33 I love this bit of dialogue. Well done man, this definitely felt like star wars

[andrewwilcke]

Got another Idea.

What if Anakin was Trained by Kreia

[Bwillis]

What if Luke Skywalker met padme Admidalia’s family?


What if Anakin Skywalker a descendant of Revan?



What If Ahsoka met plo Koon’s niece sometime after order 66?


What if Anakin and obi wan got stranded in the past pre-phantom menace?



What if the knights of Ren were founded by an ancient Sith Lord?


What if Sidious never betrayed mother talzin?


What if Qui Gon Jinn founded a separate Jedi order prior to the events of the phantom menace?


What if Shmi Skywalker had a brother?

This was amazing. I’ve been a fan of your videos for a while and it’s always fun to see your interesting SW what if’s. It was also fun to see Luke saving Vader earlier and returning him to the light getting shown some love. He’s also an amazing mighty warrior and badass character…he’s also one of my favourite characters from all of Star Wars. Great job as always and I can’t wait to see what you do next.

I do have a few ideas for some possible what if’s:

1) What if Rey was a Mandalorian…essentially what if Din Djarin found Rey and took her in as a Foundling.

2) What if Ezra was a Mandalorian…something like how both his parents were Mandalorians who left Mandalore and went to start their own lives (you could still keep most of Ezra’s backstory) and potentially make Ezra and Sabine a couple (since Disney won’t, we have too…#ezrabine4ever.

3) What if Jango Fett and/or Boba Fett Joined the Republic…I think something interesting could happen with this.

4) What if Rey, Finn and Poe went back in time to the Clone Wars…this would make the World Between Worlds even more of an important focal point and I could also see them get along well with Anakin, Ashoka, Rex and the rest of the 501st (it would be fun to see Rey, Finn and Poe join the 501st)

I hope these are some amazing ideas for some potential What if’s

[jimmymcgoochie]

What if Barriss left the Jedi instead of bombing it, and Ahsoka left with her?

What if Ezra and Ahsoka went through the wrong gates when leaving the world between worlds and ended up at the start of the Clone Wars/the sequel era?

[bigmanhelper]

May The 4th (Weekend) be with you, Pente!

“The Eclipse dropped out of hyperspace.”
Me: “Hold up wait a minute something ain’t right.”

[danielgoodrich]

What if when Anakin went to ILUM to get his first kyber crystal he found a RED crystal.

What if JarJar had a kultz attack and knocked over the vase revealing Palpatine's hidden lightsaber.

What if due to childhood trauma Palpatine developed a split personality thus Palpatine DIDN'T KNOW he was Sidious.

[LeviMartin-oy]

What if Yaddle was a Sith Lord.
What if Plo Koon trained Bariss Offee.
What if Leia was raised in Nabbo by Padme's family.
What if Mace Windu trained Rey.

I loved the ending!!! I’m convinced that if Vader lived, after the whole “he held his daughter back while her planet was destroyed and had her boyfriend/future husband frozen in carbonite, where he proceeded to go on a surprisingly convoluted adventure in which his slab was stolen by several crime syndicates until he ended up in Jabba’s palace” (I’m serious look up the shit poor frozen Han ends up going through in the comics) they’d be… surprisingly chill in-laws??

I mean, not only does Vader have serious sucking up to Leia to do, Han would also be surprisingly relatable. I mean, rogue with a heart of gold who talks big and acts cocksure but is secretly awkward, falling in love with a headstrong politician who has him wrapped around her little finger? Han’s just a less murderous Anakin dressed in a stupid vest, and they both know it.

Which leads me to: 99% of Han’s friends have tried to kill him or worse. Some of them, after they were already friends! If he’s cool with Lando and Sana, he’ll be cool with Vader. Shit, Leia would probably catch him less than a year later laughing about the whole carbonite ordeal, drunk off his ass on Corellian whiskey cracking jokes about it to an awkward (but tentatively amused) Vader and a furious Chewie (who finds the whole thing about as funny as Leia does).

If Bail had lived, I honestly think Vader would have been the less scary FIL. Because Vader wouldn’t think twice about their age gap or the fact that he’s a smuggler, he just wants Leia to be happy and he’s done WAY stupider things in the name of young love. But Bail? Is this flyboy really planning to walk up to Viceroy fucking Organa in his stupid little vest, having rode in on his stupid junkyard of a ship, and tell him that he, a criminal 13 years Leia’s senior, wants to date her? And he’s expecting to walk out of that encounter alive? Lmaooo

So yeah, Vader and Han watching the sunset and chilling like bros sounds about right.

Edit: I just realized Han is 9 years younger than Vader, making him closer in age to him than he is to Leia. I don’t know how to feel about this lol

[chrisgaming]

Made me shed a tear, thank you for this amazing story

[Only]

What if Vader suffered a hyperspace malfunction and ended up in the Vong galaxy?

[tommievd]
