What Would Have Happened If Anakin Refused To Betray Mace Windu In The Revenge of the Sith?

Interestingly, an answer to this profound question does exist and can be found in the Darth Vader and the Lost Command miniseries. In this series, Vader experiences a dream, possibly influenced by the Force, depicting the consequences of siding with Windu to defeat Palpatine. The dream envisions Anakin and Padmé discussing their son's future and Anakin's potential to become the youngest-ever leader of the Jedi Council, owing to his pivotal role in eliminating Sidious. Additionally, it shows Padmé ascending to the role of Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. In this alternate reality, Anakin and Luke Skywalker, named Jinn Skywalker in this timeline, hope that Padmé's leadership will usher in an era of peace, potentially rendering the Jedi unnecessary.

Love the fact Anakin named his son Jinn. That shows what a father figure Qui-Gon was for him

[NinjacatCreative]

Vader must've been punching the air of guilt when he had that dream

[TetsuShima]

Anakin: "Now that the Sith are gone forever, the Galaxy is finally at peace once and for..."
Yuuzhan Vong: "Hey"

the ai picture of vader snuggled up in bed bro i cant 😭

Basically, the best possible ending, where Anakin remains true to the light, sidious is eliminated and padme survives. If only this dream had been reality

[younglingslayer]

These dreams must have been very painful...

Ngl, I genuinely imagine that, while Anakin enjoyed the life he deserved, Palpatine was best up in the after-life by Plagueis, Bane, Zannah and the other 30 Rule-of-Two Sith for completely screwing their 1000-year-old anti-Jedi plan 😅

That picture got me pulling out my saber

I always find it interesting to think of what would've happened if Anakin never became evil. There should be a series about it.

So in the end the jedi get phased out either way, no wonder they didn't trust Anakin.

[eowynsisterdaughter]

Sounds more like Anakin's wish fufillment rather than a realistic continuation of events, but still interesting.

So in this time line Padme becomes wonderwoman?

[Ardi]

Wow. Chancellor and Grand Master...
Talk about a power couple. 😳

[rorschacoo]

The council saw this too. And said "fk no we are not being out of a job, never make him master"

[fel_zharost]

Imagine if he insisted on calling his son Sheev 💀

[idkwhattoputhere]

These videos are exactly why we need 'Star Wars: What If?'

[WWNbroadcasts]

Hopefully we see this in the new what if series

[jabbathehutt]

Now thats a Padme i could get behind 😏

[hellshing]

I don't think Anakin would have stayed in the Jedi and quite frankly, Padme would have left the Senate as well. Feel like she said so herself at some point. 🤔

i like to think that if Mace told Anakin something like "come with me we need to work together to take him down" or literally ANYTHING that showed he had some kind of trust in Anakin that he wouldve dealt a killing blow to palps and saved Mace
