What If Anakin Skywalker Was NEVER Discovered

What If Qui Gon Never found Anakin Skywalker? Let's explore the depths of this scenario in the video.

Anakin watches Watto argue with one of the customers. It is a tall man in brown robes who is trying in vain to haggle with the Toydarian. After a few minutes, he gives up and motions for his party to leave. Once they are gone, Anakin emerges from his hiding spot and follows after the group until Watto pulls him back.
Anakin: Who was that?
Watto: Eh? Him? Just some cheapskate customer. Nothing to worry about. Just focus on your work, boy.
Anakin watches the group disappear. Part of him wants to chase after them, but he decides to put his attention back on preparing for his next pod race.
A few days later, in the desolate Tatooine desert, Anakin and the other racers line up at the starting line. His heart pounds excitedly as the spectators cheer. There are crime lords, bounty hunters, and all types of miscreants mixed in with the fans.
But he only catches a glimpse of it as the signal for the race begins, and Anakin's pod racer bursts out of the starting line. Although he doesn't realize it, the Force guides him through the race, allowing him to catch up with the reigning champion, Sebulba.
With a daring move through a narrow canyon, Anakin surges past Sebulba. As the final stretch approaches, Anakin's heart soars as he crosses the finish line.
The cheers wash over Anakin like a tidal wave as he leaps out from his battered pod racer. He takes a moment to bask in the adulation before heading to his master. Not everyone is celebrating, though, as Watto is seen paying out a bet he lost. Anakin sees that it's the same robed man he saw days ago. Before he can approach him, a hand pulls and shoves him aside. Anakin turns and sees the neighborhood bully, Greedo.
Greedo: Admit it, Skywalker. You cheated today, didn't you?
Anakin: I did not. I won that race fair and square.
Greedo: What does a slave know about fairness?
Anakin snarls and tackles Greedo to the ground and begins to punch him. The Rodian boy is helpless before the attacks. This was supposed to be the best day of his life; he's not going to let some bully ruin it for him.
A hand pulls him back and slaps him before he can punch again.
Watto: That's enough from you. Haven't you embarrassed me enough? Do you know how much money I lost when you won?
The Toydarian continues to berate him until a shape appears behind him. Gardulla slithers over with her protocol droid beside her.

Droid: The Great Gardulla says it is you who has embarrassed yourself, Watto. Is this how a champion is to be treated? You are unfit to have a servant of such caliber under your service. Allow me to take him off your hands.

Watto: Are you crazy? I'm not selling this boy!

Droid: The Great Gardulla does not believe you have much of a choice, given how much money you owe.

Watto stares at them but can't argue with them. He begins to negotiate the sale of Anakin, but Watto is only willing to sell Anakin and not his mother. Anakin pleads with Watto to let him stay with his mother, but the Toydarian refuses, requiring Gardulla's guards to carry him from the store, screaming and kicking.

Once he is out, the Hutt slaps him.

Droid: The Great Gardulla says that your tears are nothing.

Anakin: It's not fair!

Droid: Fairness is a word that means nothing here. In the Outer Rim, only strength matters. Consider that your first lesson. You have strength, boy. But you must be willing to use it.

Anakin: What do you mean?

Droid: The Great Gardulla understands you have immense talent as a pod racer and a mechanic. That is why she bought you. If you are willing to use those skills for her, she is prepared to reward you. As a gesture of goodwill, the Great Gardulla will allow you to keep half of your prize money.

Anakin stares at them, biting his lip. It is not without merit either, and he seriously considers it. Working as a pod racer sounds exciting, even for a Hutt. More importantly, it will give him a chance to earn more money to free his mother.

Anakin accepts Gardulla's offer and enters service in her household. His days are split between the grease-streaked confines of a makeshift mechanic's bay and the blistering heat of the pod racing circuit. It's a lot of work, but Anakin rises to become one of the top pod racers.

His mechanical prowess is unrivaled, and with each race, Anakin's legend grows in the underworld of Tatooine.

In return for his successes, Gardulla lavishes Anakin with credits, rare components to enhance his pod racer, and luxuries that were once beyond his wildest dreams. The money he doesn't spend on these luxuries or save up to free his mother goes to completing his project, C-3PO.

While this project was originally just because of his love of mechanics and tinkering, Anakin realizes the droid has another use. One thing he learns while serving under Gardulla is that information is power, and this droid companion can go to places he can't to gather information.

Let me know what you think of our longer form videos!

[Only]

What if a dark side cult managed to infiltrate the jedi order right under the noses of yoda and mace due to their preoccupied search for sidious?

[dreadrath]

That was a really cool one. They actually ended up building a functional Sith Empire and better yet did so without the need for infighting, they each rule the parts of the empire they are best suited to run.

[surferdude]

Remember, folks, just say "No" to death sticks.

[filter]

So, basically Anakin became a force using Tony Soprano?

[dianesinger]

I like Anakin taking over Tatooine and making deals and his involvement in the war and his dealing with Maul.

[knowwon]

What if Anakin received the limbs of GRIEVOUS while keeping the SAME force sensitivity as VADER.

[TheForcesWrath]

Damn this is awesome ✊🏿🔥⚔️ good job! I like you longer videos

[codename]

This was amazing! My only criticism is that Boba should probably be much younger than how he was portrayed here.

[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.

Yessss!! Been a while sense I heard a major legends story point.

[datboi]

This needs a part 2. I like how they all slowly came to the conclusion that they could all gain more power by working together and saying fuck the rule of 2 the galaxy is big enough for all of us to have our own territory but i feel like at some point they might butt heads. Please make a part 2

[Exaris]

If the Force was willing, Master Fay or Anya Kuro could had found him. Master Fay travels around the galaxy where she felt the Force needs her. Kuro's a member of the Jedi Order's Acquisition division that travels across the galaxy looking for younglings that's Force sensitive. Again she could had found Anakin even though he's too old. More likely she could had also bought out Anakin&Shmi from Watto.

[randybentley]

What if the modifications to the Blue Shadow Virus not only caused the inhibitor chips to be treated as a foreign body, thus leading to them being attacked by the likely over-the-top immune system of the clones, but it also became broadly transmittable amongst the clones...

[KingCodd]

What if Palpatine told the senate he was Sidious when he was elected (not illegal by the time of the prequels)?

What if Padme didn’t trade Anakin for grievous when they were both captured on naboo

What if Anakin used force lightning in various moments throughout the clone wars?

What if Palpatine sensed vadar’s betrayal in return of the Jedi?

What if Gungi stayed with the bad batch?

What if Caleb joined the bad batch when his master died?

What if Caleb survived the fire on Lothal?

What if Ahsoka got to coruscant with maul before Mace windu left for the chancellors office?

What if Ezra found luke instead of obi wan on Tatooine?

What if Illum gave Anakin a red kyber crystal?

[bradyenjacobs]

What if Deadpool was also star wars jesus

[ericcrabtree]

What if the Sith Empire (swtor) attacked during the clone wars

[heavyarms]

This was a lot of fun. The Jedi not finding Anakin changes basically the whole story and you can take it dozens of different directions.

Only nitpick I have is that you only really focus on Anakin in this story, and I never bought onto the "Skywalker Saga" like they call it. I prefer treating SW as a setting I. Which countless stories can be told.

But maybe that's cause I grew up with Legends instead of Canon.:/

[troykanotz]

What if the separatists had a coup against the separatist council by true believing pro war separatists, thus removing sith influence on the faction, and leaving the CIS still at war with the Republic? They would not be forced to loose battles anymore, and could activate the reserve armies, thus making it a real war for Palpatine.

[cronag]

What if Darth Vader was infected with the blackwing virus?
