What if MAGNETO Became Emperor in Star Wars - X-men Crossover

Music - Karl Casey

What if Magneto Became The Emperor? Let’s explore the depths of this scenario in the video.

overseeing the vast expanse of the Death Star, Palpatine stands on the bridge of his ship, watching as construction nears completion. Already the main weapon and most of the superstructure are finished. It only requires a few final touches before becoming fully operational. After that, the entire galaxy will tremble before its power.

Palpatine’s yellow eyes gleam with satisfaction as he observes the bustling activity below. Engineers and droids work tirelessly to finish the structure that will assure the Empire’s dominance.

Suddenly, his comlink crackles to life. The voice of an officer comes through, barely audible from the sounds of blaster fire.

Officer: Emperor Palpatine, we have an intruder on the station. I don’t know how he’s boarded the station but he has…ahhh!

The transmission ends with the officer’s scream, cut off by static. Palpatine’s gaze narrows. He reaches for his lightsaber as the sounds of distant fighting grow louder, echoing through the halls. Blaster fire and screams fill his ears followed by the unmistakable sounds of footsteps.

His fingers hovered over the power button of his lightsaber. Then, with a sudden, violent crash, the commander center doors rip open. There’s no explosion or saber cuts, but the metal screeches and twists as if they are alive.

After a brief moment of silence the doors then fly forward straight at Palpatine. In an instant, he has his lightsaber activated and ready, slicing through the door and sending its severed halves flying behind him.

From the mangled doorway, A figure in crimson and purple appears, a helmet hiding his features. With a mere flick of his wrist, the debris parts before him , revealing the man at the heart of this destruction —Magneto.

Palpatine shivers as he senses the power this man possesses. For the first time in many years, Palpatine knows fear.

Magneto: Leave, emperor. This station and its tyranny end now.

Palpatine: Y-you. Who are you?

Magneto: Your doom. Now will you make this easy or will I get a challenge?

That fear momentarily turns into anger as without another word, the Sith Lord lunges, his lightsaber arcing through the air in a deadly sweep. Magneto raises a hand, and the metal floor beneath Palpatine’s feet rises and shields him from the attack. As Palpatine’s lightsaber slices through, Magneto is already moving back and sends the shards flying at the emperor who stops to defend against the attack.

He pushes these shards aside and snarls, unleashing a torrent of Sith Lightning. Magneto raises the ruins of the door in front of himself, feeling the electricity crackle across it. He winces as the sparks strike him across the body, then channels a magnetic field to deflect the lightning into the wall.

The room begins to shake from the electricity, but Magneto stumbles as the effort proves exhausting. Palpatine takes this advantage and rushes forward, using the Force to enhance his speed.

Magneto can barely block his attacks, lifting whatever objects he can find, pipes, panels, and even chunks of the ceiling. But this just buys him time Palpatine shatters whatever he has to throw.

Palpatine: You cannot win. I am the Emperor!”

Magneto: Not anymore.

His eyes begin to glow with power as he raises his hand. Palpatine brings his lightsaber down but freezes mid-swing. His eyes widen as his lightsaber refuses to move no matter how much effort he puts in.

Magneto shoves Palpatine back and takes hold of his lightsaber. As he stumbles back, the emperor snarls and extends both hands to unleash the full fury of the Dark Side. Lightning arcs towards Magneto but he lifts his lightsaber to deflect the attack, letting it bounce against the walls and floors of the command deck .

As they strike the metal plating of the room, Magneto slowly moves forward, each step bending more and more of the metal, all of it collecting the electricity of Palpatine's attack. . The Emperor's eyes widen in shock as his powers are being turned against him. Magneto opens his palm, his eyes unblinking as the metal, wires, and random debris of the deck fly towards Palpatine, all charged with his own dark power.

The Emperor grits his teeth in shock as the hunks of metal and debris embed themselves in the floor around him, a blast of lighting releasing with every impact. He is trapped in a cage of metal and electricity, and cannot escape. . With a final, desperate push, The emperor attempts to force the debris away, but Magneto closes his fist crashing the cage into Palpatine in a great flash of light. The Sith Lord screams, his body convulsing as the energy consumes him. The aftermath is nothing more than a smoldering pile of charred flesh and burnt robes.

At that moment, several squads of stormtroopers burst through the ruined doors, blasters ready. They freeze though as they see the emperor’s smoking body and Magneto faces

In a world depended on metal, like the world of star wars, magneto is a god.

[johnnyv]

What if Professor X visited Yoda and found out who Palpatine really is. During the middle or ending of the clone wars.

[warpstarrogue]

That's the special thing about Magneto, he isn't truly an evil person, just an extremist who cares for his fellow mutants. He witnessed the worst of the world, of humanity who ruined his life just for being different. He isn't wholly benevolent, but he's a far better person than the sith lord.

[raymondarmenta]

I'm loving ❤️ the 80s music spread out across the video 😎

[jeremiahbristow]

Aw...just let Magneto do what needs to be done for once.

[person]

I have to take a second to appreciate how screwed almost anybody is fighting magneto in a giant near solid metal orb

[sakomanlee]

Every single human in the Imperial Navy would resign and Thrawn would have, like, a million headaches keeping the fleet in fighting form.

[rodgerscott]

There are so many interactions that are possible with this. One is Anakin training with the X-Men, another is Gambit playing cards with Han and a bunch of Corelians. There is also the chance of the punisher meeting up with the mandolorian people.

[BlueBoxRevan]

That was the BEST video by far ever!! I got chills from this one

[johnnyv]

What if The Predator was hired to assasinate Palpatine.

[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.

[harrygreen]

Just about to eat my dinner and needed to watch something, perfect timing, great idea . Magneto is a great villain

[madbr]

The entire star wars galaxy. Has virtually unlimited resources. The small amount or resources that magneto demanded was far less the the emperor took.

The issue Professor X has is his lack of foresight.

[bobablackfly]

Anyone who must say "I AM THE EMPEROR" is no true emperor...

[heatherdonnell]

What if a space marine chapter entered the universe.

[brianjames]

Doctor Doom would enjoy the job better as Emperor.

[chefmatthewlafferty]

I would've liked a dark side ending to this as well.

[crossoverhero]

I can already imagine Boliver Trask and the rest of the Anti-Mutant groups shitting bricks when the government tries to apprehend and detain them from interfering with the preparations for the Empire's assualt.

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.

Lightsabers, those have nothing on Magneto. The force, depends on how it's used.
