Master Kenobi has engaged General Grievous

Anakin brings word to the Chancellor that Kenobi has engaged General Grievous, however, rather than celebrating the upcoming wedding, Palpatine instead takes the opportunity to reveal himself as a Sith to the young Jedi.

The voices are AI generated (with significant editing by me to make them sound the way I envision for the delivery.)

The images are screenshots taken from Revenge of the Sith, with captions added using Imgflip.

The script was written by me, the editing was likewise done by me.

Also, fuck, just so YouTube will hopefully not flag this video as for children.

This was a request by a viewer, I'm trying to catch up on viewer requests, so if I've mentioned to you that I'll do a video and haven't yet done it, please feel free to reply to this comment and I'll get started.

I get it now. Vader never choked people. They just faked dying in his presence to avoid hearing his thesis.

[darkofdespair]

I have a feeling Palpatine actually FEARS Anakin's full thesis at this point.

Eventually we need Darth Vader standing over Luke in Cloud City saying "Obi-Wan never told you about dichotomy"

[manumanumilitari]

"We give you the right to teach classes, but we do not grant you the title of PhD"

The thesis saga should be made canon by virtue of comedic value alone.

[KurisuFenrisWolf]

Palpatine so very desperately trying to stick to the original plot always gets a chuckle.

[planetbob]

Love that Anakin immediately (correctly) concluded that his thesis about the story's intent was right!

[harryjones]

I love this portrayal of Anakin acting like a child while Palpatine questions all of his life choices.

[Calico]

Use this as a ‘would listen to the 2hr unabridged thesis’ button

[arionofotherworld]

Yep, this explains why Anakin/Vader doesn't use force lightning, it was never the limitations of the cybernetics, it's clearly because he thinks lightning fingies are unnatural.

This alternative universe is slowly overwriting my memory of the actual cannon

[tainoman]

The smartest dumbass in the Galaxy, Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, and somehow the man who married Senator Padmé Naberrie Amidala of Naboo.

This universe is rather unnatural

[stigmaoftherose]

I love the idea that the PTSD of being zapped by count drakula has resulted in anikan having very slight brain damage and an extreme fear of the dark side to the point he doesnt become vader.

[gabrielsosa]

My favorite line from the prequels is when Anakin pulls out his lightsaber on Palpatine and says "It was you, Palpatine! You're the Phantom Menace!"

[McKadow]

This man will never get the respect his deserves for his thesis, even though he's correct.
Can't wait for your two hour video version of it.

[nikoincroatia]

In this version Anakin snitches on Palpatine because if he has to choose between saving Padme and proving his thesis is correct, he can't resist the latter

[wingedangel]

Anakin being smart enough to figure out Palpatine is the Sith Lord through Thesis logic but not picking up on the obvious hints Palpatine was telling him is really lore-accurate for Anakin honestly.

[voryndagothDL]

I feel so bad for Anakin. He really deserved to be Obi-Wan's best man

[exoniauchiha]

Anakin didnt want lightning fingies so he chose chokey fingies
