What If Darth Vader Stopped Tarkin From Destroying Alderaan

Darth Vader participated in Alderaan's destruction by allowing Tarkin to destroy the Core Planet. What If Vader Instead, Stopped Tarkin from Destroying Alderaan? What would come from this? Would Tarkin actually refuse to destroy the planet? What would happen to Leia, who was on deck? Would Palpatine side with his apprentice or with his long time best friend?

If I remember correctly, Sidious was quite angry at Tarkin for destroying Alderaan and if he didn't died at the battle of Yavin, Tarkin would have died at the hands of Sidious.

[VSRU]

Canonically, Vader knew destroying Alderaan was a bad idea. So this is a very realistic what-if.

[lamondapelua]

Nah, this is what would happen:

Vader: You heard her, destroy Dantooine

[ObiClon]

Honestly I think Tarkin's ideology/doctrine of ruling through fear was always very flawed. And it showed greatly when he destroyed Alderaan as well as in Rogue One

[somnus]

What if leia secretly broadcasted the destruction of alderaan

[Achuidian]

I’m impressed you mentioned Omega being a pilot. As most people wouldn’t know that if the didn’t watch the finale of the Bad Batch.

[locoarticwolf]

Considering the planet’s destruction only ended up helping the Rebellion in the long run, this What If could benefit the Empire.

[DrownedInExile]

You glossed over that 3-year period with Vader and Luke reconnecting and redeeming. That's a whole story right there.

[Zoshnell]

Some people didn't believe a lone X-Wing could destroy the Space Station...
"Proton torpedoes don't melt durasteel exhaust ports!"

[TheHighborn]

Dude just hand waved Anakin returning to the light, insted of milking it for an entire season. Respect

[Da_SenateT]

Sabine: THATS YOUR DAD!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I always thought that the Death Star's super-laser was way overkill for what would be practical for a mobile battle station. The laser only needs to be powerful enough to destroy heavily shielded capital ships and overpower planetary shields in a siege role, not destroy a planet outright. Destroying whole planets is a waste; Instead you can glass the planet to rid it of unwanted enemies and/or troublesome wildlife, and then either strip mine or build your own base there. A less powerful super laser would cost less resources to build, so you could either make multiple stations with these lasers or use the resources you saved for other purposes.

I proposed this before, but I will say it again:

What if Admiral Yularen joined the Rebel Alliance?

Imagine him meeting Luke, telling him about his father during the Clone Wars!

[jotheunissen]

This video shows a very important aspect of Sidious that is often overlooked. Sidious aka Palpatine is a genius politician with about 30 years of experience, taking over and then ruling the galaxy as an emperor. He damn well knows how to play the game

[hozrzsv]

What if Coruscant Civilians stormed the Jedi Temple during Order 66 to help the Jedi? And this happened in all front-lines, the wookies turning on the clones, Syndulla rebels immediately turning on the clones, the Mandalorian uniting against the clones, etc.

[Ravenfanatic]

Glad to see Tarkin get his comeuppance

[sonnymoney]

What if Hondo Ohnaka foiled Palpatine’s Plans? Hondo has came close on several occasions.
My idea is basically Hondo gives Dooku to the Jedi.

I hope you guys would like this suggestion.

[daltonsee]

What if the CIS found out it was Yoda on Toydaria at the beginning of the clone wars, and orbitally strike the planet to deal a heavy blow to the jedi so early in the war

[socialaccount]

What if Dooku *became* General Grevious? Right before or during AOTC, Dooku suffers a horrific injury and is put into the same cybernetic suit originally designed for Grevious.

[LordMayorOfDairyBell]

What if Anakin went native and became an honorary Wookiee? Imagine Vader joining the Rebellion to protect Kashyyyk.
