The Empire would’ve fell into a civil war sooner or later, with or without the rebellion. But it’ll be interesting to see how this one turns out with Vader and Palps still alive during it.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting to watch, especially since if you look outside of "who is stronger in a fight, Vader or Sidious" and look at other skills, talents, and connections, there is a potential case to be made for either side winning, and it all depends to an extent on circumstances like when it happens.
I like that Thrawn and Vader teamed up, they’re of my favorite characters in all of star wars, and they have way more in common than you’d think at first glance
Ahhhh, now this was a great one. I always love these stories where the empire reforms into something greater than the utter trainwreck it was under Sheev and Tarkin's "leadership". Even more so when it has wholesome leaning resolutions to Vader's story.
This is an excellent what-if Star Wars fanfiction, Mr. Pente Patrol. Darth Vader started an Imperial Civil War, which we never get to see in Star Wars fanfiction stories, but having the Galactic Empire reforming into the New Empire is something I never expected a significant change having the Galactic Empire reform instead of being replaced by the New Galactic Republic. This is a great story, my friend. Keep up the great work, and no matter what happens or what anybody says, you make the best stories in the SW fanfiction community. I really mean it. May the Force Be With You!
Loved this. After your What if Anakin Started a Jedi Civil War, I knew this would be a treat. I could tell in your voice you had a lot fun making this. Anakin/Vader have interesting growth in both stories. Can't wait for the next one PPSW
THIS, this is what the Empire was meant to be, a strong but just fist, one that brings order, one for wich Thrawn, Veers, Pellaeon and so many heroes fought for, one that even Anakin would be proud to fight for. For this people, soldiers, generals, parents, siblings, friends, people who had a dream, a dream that the Galaxy would finally be unified under one force, that brings justice, order, prosperity and security, under an EMPIRE. For these people and their dream are the reason that I am not ashamed to say: LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!
Oh no, the Empire was never meant to be that. That's what it was believed to be, what it should have been, but it was all Palpatine's pet project for power. That's all it was, and all it amounted to be.
@@jessicaberry5596well many channels have pointed alongside eckhart L have made the comment that had Thrawn won against the New Republic in Zahn's trilogy that Thrawn would have created the Imperial Galactic Federation. Seeing how he hated the elements of the empire that were against non-humans and that the New Republic was repeating the same mistakes of the previous Old Republic & the Jedi. The New Republic still had a lot problems with a decentralized government and the old wounds from the outer colonies that initially started the Clone Wars against the Core planets still existed. Look at how the same rivalries and corruption existed in the Halo universe when colonies from both the outer & inner planets fought each other.

Surprisingly this is probably one of if not the best overall outcome of star wars what if involving the empire and its time. The empire being what it should have been, and not getting replaced by the same crap that allowed its original form to be a thing
This has a lot of BRILLIANT military strategies and storylines. Honestly many of your stories are deserving of movies. This one in particular. It's very impressive, intriguing, interesting and would have been an absolute intense experience watching it unfold. It has main players, many main concepts of Star Wars and well conceived! What great redemption for Anakin, and a beautiful ending for the Skywalkers. What a great movie this would have made...Kudos!!! ❤
Palpatine was a behind the scenes manipulator that relied on strong henchmen to fight his battles for him, Anakin/Vader has spent his entire adult life as a warrior on the battlefield. Vader and his faction claps Sidious, admittedly after some initial setbacks.
I am seeing SOOOOO many US Civil War references here. Battle of Vondar seems so much like Gettysburg. A hard fought 3 day battle with massive casualties on both sides with a defense that was forced to fall back on day 1 and a flanking attack that was fought off the on the second at high cost and finally a frontal attack on the third day where the attacking general apologized to his men for the failure of the attack and plan… and then a long siege is immediately won a day later. It’s just Gettysburg and Vicksburg. Then the Anacondan plan is just the Anaconda Plan in name that the Union used to blockade the south… but the actual details are all Sherman’s Total War/March to the Sea style of warfare. Oh, and the whole issue of slavery leading to the outbreak. (Edit) (See’s ending talk) I KNEW IT! I’m so happy to see those homages were 100% deliberate. I really love this story, one of my favorites. I love military sci-fi and Empire at War and seeing all the homages to them were great. And the homages to real military history, especially American Civil War history for a Civil War History Buff like me was great.
Ahaha I'm so glad you caught those! It was so much fun trying to figure out who each Union General would be loll. Veers as Joshua Chamberlain & Krennic as W.T. Sherman lmaoo. But I'm happy the end segment confirmed those for you! XDD
This video is good man. You should do more space battle game for the background for the space, flights and in your videos but if it's too much you don't have to worry about it
Ok here's the best compliment I can give a story teller like you, I 1st discovered your channel. thinking these will be good bedtime stories. You are MasakoX the 2nd. Uou sir are too good of a story teller I can't sleep to your stories. Keep up with your work I wish Disney didn't kill the franchise but you sir too me keeps the force and the story truly alive.
I loved SO MUCH this history Not because of tue finale, but in yur Midway, The battles were perfect written, history based on real battles You should do more stories like this, long, epic and logic battles Thanks for the video!
If Darth Vader had initiated an Imperial Civil War during the reign of the Galactic Empire, it would have had profound and far-reaching consequences for the galaxy. Here’s a speculative breakdown of what could have happened: ### 1. **Motivation and Initiation** - **Motivation:** Vader might have been motivated by a desire to overthrow Emperor Palpatine, either to seize power for himself or because he believed the Emperor's rule was detrimental to the galaxy (perhaps influenced by a lingering connection to his former self, Anakin Skywalker). - **Initiation:** Vader could have started by rallying discontented factions within the Empire, such as certain high-ranking military officers, disillusioned Sith, or other dark side users who might see an opportunity for power. ### 2. **The Fracturing of the Empire** - **Loyalists vs. Rebels:** The Empire would split into factions loyal to Palpatine and those who sided with Vader. This schism would likely result in a series of brutal battles, as both sides vied for control of the Imperial fleet and key planets. - **Regional Governors:** Many regional governors and Moffs might choose sides based on their own ambitions, potentially leading to a fragmented Empire where different parts of the galaxy come under the control of warlords or local leaders. ### 3. **Impact on the Galactic Civil War** - **The Rebel Alliance:** The chaos within the Empire would provide a significant advantage to the Rebel Alliance. They might exploit the infighting to launch major offensives, liberating planets, and gaining more allies. - **Strategic Opportunities:** With the Empire’s forces divided, the Rebels could strike at weakened Imperial positions, further destabilizing the already fractured government. ### 4. **Palpatine's Response** - **The Emperor’s Tactics:** Palpatine would likely use his mastery of manipulation to turn the conflict to his advantage, possibly pitting his enemies against each other. He might also attempt to draw out Vader’s weaknesses, such as his connection to his children, Luke and Leia, to undermine his position. - **Superweapons:** The Emperor might deploy superweapons like the Death Star or new Sith apprentices to crush Vader’s rebellion and reassert control. ### 5. **Vader’s Leadership** - **Strengths and Weaknesses:** As a military commander and Sith Lord, Vader is formidable, but his leadership style is harsh and driven by fear. This could lead to high initial success but eventually cause internal dissent among his followers. - **Redemption Arc:** Depending on how much of Anakin Skywalker remains within him, Vader might struggle with his darker impulses, potentially leading to an internal conflict that could either strengthen or weaken his position. ### 6. **Outcome Scenarios** - **Vader's Victory:** If Vader were to successfully overthrow Palpatine, he might establish a new Sith-controlled Empire with himself as the Emperor. However, his rule could be just as tyrannical, or perhaps he could be redeemed, leading to a reformed Empire with less oppression. - **Palpatine's Retaliation:** On the other hand, Palpatine could quash Vader’s rebellion, possibly by revealing a more powerful apprentice or weapon, leading to Vader’s demise and a strengthened Imperial grip on the galaxy. - **Mutual Destruction:** Another possibility is that the conflict could so severely weaken the Empire that both Vader and Palpatine are killed, leading to the collapse of Imperial authority and the rise of a power vacuum, with various factions and the Rebel Alliance competing for control. ### 7. **Long-Term Effects** - **Galactic Power Structure:** The Imperial Civil War could lead to a fragmented galaxy with multiple competing powers, including remnants of the Empire, independent systems, and a possibly strengthened Rebel Alliance. - **The Jedi and the Force:** The conflict could also influence the fate of the Jedi and the Force-sensitive individuals in the galaxy, potentially leading to the rise of new Jedi or Sith factions, depending on how the conflict plays out. In summary, if Darth Vader had initiated an Imperial Civil War, it would have plunged the galaxy into even greater chaos, with unpredictable outcomes ranging from the rise of a new Sith Empire to the complete dissolution of Imperial control. The Rebel Alliance would have had a unique opportunity to capitalize on the situation, but the ultimate victor of such a conflict would depend on the strategies and decisions of the key players involved.
What if Ahsoka Tano trained Gungi on Lothal after ROTJ? What if Gungi trained Grogu with GM Luke and Ben Solo on Ossus? What if Jaro Tapal survived Order 66 with Cal Kestis and escaped Bracca?
Maybe a variation of this with the literal minute after Palpatine declares the empire the whole galaxy sets on fire. Just chaos human sacrifice, loth-wolfs and loth-cats living together, mass hysteria!
Vader in both Legends and Canon had learned about canon. Both I believe early on in their careers, it just felt odd as hell in either timeline that Vader never truly acted against Palpatine on the issue of slavery in the empire. It's nice to see what if's where Anakin takes the issue head on in various different scenario's such as these.
I'm sure many, myself included have imagined this what if for some time. More specifically since 2008 I've imagined how an Imperial "Operation Valkryie" would look. Think of it, a coup where officers assassinate the Emperor, then pin it on the Inquisitorious as well as the ruling council, removing the Dark Side from the Empire.
October hollowing ideas. Star wars zombie wars. Scenario 1. What if the Blackwing virus had an outbake on Coruscant. Scenario 2. what if the Blackwing virus had a galactic outbake, World war Z Styal. the book as well as the movie
This scenario has the makings similar to the Goldenbaum Civil War arc of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Vader and Thrawn looking like Reinhard and Kircheis.
Perhaps you could do a video on what would happen if the Yuuzhan Vong invaded in the middle of the Clone Wars? That would certainly be interesting - potentially having the CIS and Republic calling at least a temporary truce to fight against a more prevalent and common enemy. Plus, considering how much the Yuuzhan Vong hate droids, seeing them face off against trillions of CIS battle droids would certainly be intriguing, to say the least.
In a surprise post credit scene in general Thron was on the edge of known space with a fully functioning death star and 5000 star destroyers waiting for an intergalactic invasion fleet
I was chilling in history today, and then i heard something very familiar. It's called the Anaconda plan. It was used by the Union in the american Civil War. What a cool reference.
It was pretty interesting how things were different from the start just by grace of this being an inner conflict unlike with the Rebellion, and how it changed so many lives both for the better and the worse. Yularen vs Vader was something I've never even considered, but I honestly think it's one of the best things to ever come out of the What Ifs. Seeing Saw Guerrera of all people here was unexpected but surprisingly enjoyable, honestly the Rebirth had quite the interesting ensemble of people as it's leaders. Good to see Anakin got his kids back and that they got to enjoy life outside the Jedi-Sith conflict. Wow, that's a lot of different Jedi Orders, I kinda wish we got to see a bit more of that (also jay! Kanan survives here. Probably Cere too, so that's great), but who knows, maybe in another AU. What if, instead of once then never again, Obi Wan, and later on Anakin (and Ahsoka too if you want), used Force Speed at every single chance he thought it would be useful?
What if Kanan and Ezra actually saved Luminara? Before anyone says anything about how strict Luminara was, I would like to see an alternate universe where she comes to realize how her strict training alienated Barriss from her and decides to make up for her mistake by helping the Rebels!
Aye Pente been watching you for about a year and a half now finally got a UA-cam account. Got some what if ideas if you’d like to take them. 1: What if Ezra killed thrawn or never got sent to the other galaxy with him. 2: What if the super tactical droid from the rebels episode the last battle (kalani) joined the rebel alliance or more specifically the ghost crew. 3: What if Dooku formed the cis but stayed a Jedi (still leaving the order of course) 4: What if mother Tounsan showed Grevious who really was responsible for his ship crash and what happened to his body. 5: What if a new cis formed in the wake of the new republics collapse in the force awakens to combat the first order. 6: What if the new republic wasn’t stupid and had a proper military and response to the first orders rise in the sequels. (Since you know they had to fight the empire for how many years and now thrawns reborn empire)
Read a fanfic going this direction. Except vader assassinated palps and vader legally takes over. Then has to consolidate his power by negotiating with the various moffs and thrawn.
I honestly hope Vader's catalyst is learning the death of Luke and seeing the tombstone of his and Padme's child is what breaks him and made him believe Palpatine's empire has to go.
I'm glad you enjoyed! And yes, I didn't realize until I uploaded it, that I never mentioned the Death Star. Since this war really kicks off between 8-4 BBY, I think the Authority would've been more focused on flagships, since the DS would only encourage others to join Rebirth. But definitely should've been mentioned, which is my bad!
I like the detail that there is more than one Jedi Order that rises in the aftermath. The Lothal Jedi, the Night Jedi*, the Old Jedi (Yoda and Obi-Wan), the Unaligned (Anakin). (* There was a non-fic plotbunny post on AO3 about the Mantis Crew time travelling and Cal and Merrin picking up Shmi and Anakin before Naboo happened. The general idea is Cal trains Anakin, Merrin trains Shmi as a Nightsister, they visit Dathomir and claim Savage a Feral, with the former being more inclined to the Darkker side while the latter more to the Lighter, and in the aftermath of Naboo, end up finding and taking Maul under their protection, and basically knock about the galaxy making up a mix of Jedi, Nightsister, and just a shade of Sith ideologies into their own thing and eventually running into Obi-Wan and drawing him into their little group too. I made a comment on the plotbunny saying I want to think of them taking the name "Night Jedi" and that they become agents of Controlled Chaos and Balance.)
1. What if Asajj Ventress was trained by Yaddle? 2. What if Maul, Savage, And Feral all had the same force potential being a little bit higher then Talzins own and were all trained together to rule Dathomir and the nearby planets as well by Talzin herself and the other Dathomirians making a exceptionalism rule for them even with them not being Female they still are of Talzins bloodline with higher potentials and the same high IQs And EQs too and let's say neither Tenebrous nor Plagueis nor Sidious interfered with there work? 3. What if Dooku had the same natural long lifespan that Durge did and was one of those rare Humans to have it which is a two thousand year one or more that and he had a natural force connection a tiny sledge upper to Yodas? 4. What if Anakin was birthed and risin and brought up and taught from the day he was born by Traya herself let's say he was born during the same time she was? 5. What if Dooku never got captured by pirates nor was ever sloppy with his work never disappointing Palpatine with the Silman nor Sifo Dyas track leavers? 6. What if Ahsoka was trained by Shaak Ti and they bonded well to have a parent and child relationship?
The Empire would’ve fell into a civil war sooner or later, with or without the rebellion. But it’ll be interesting to see how this one turns out with Vader and Palps still alive during it.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting to watch, especially since if you look outside of "who is stronger in a fight, Vader or Sidious" and look at other skills, talents, and connections, there is a potential case to be made for either side winning, and it all depends to an extent on circumstances like when it happens.
I haven’t finished watching but I would assume the emperor side would have fought a war on two fronts the rebellion and Vader side of empire

As to #one... Ezra let himself go (original trilogy original cut Jabba in a new hope)
Surprisingly this is probably one of if not the best overall outcome of star wars what if involving the empire and its time. The empire being what it should have been, and not getting replaced by the same crap that allowed its original form to be a thing
What is Anakin disappeared during the third year of the clone wars and reappeared two years after order 66 and saves padmes children “ Luke and Leia”
This has a lot of BRILLIANT military strategies and storylines.
Honestly many of your stories are deserving of movies. This one in particular. It's very impressive, intriguing, interesting and would have been an absolute intense experience watching it unfold.
It has main players, many main concepts of Star Wars and well conceived!
What great redemption for Anakin, and a beautiful ending for the Skywalkers.
What a great movie this would have made...Kudos!!! ❤
This story was very fun to listen to, awesome!
Love the ending too, in the end Anakin did what the chosen one was meant to do.
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Palpatine was a behind the scenes manipulator that relied on strong henchmen to fight his battles for him, Anakin/Vader has spent his entire adult life as a warrior on the battlefield.
Vader and his faction claps Sidious, admittedly after some initial setbacks.
I am seeing SOOOOO many US Civil War references here. Battle of Vondar seems so much like Gettysburg. A hard fought 3 day battle with massive casualties on both sides with a defense that was forced to fall back on day 1 and a flanking attack that was fought off the on the second at high cost and finally a frontal attack on the third day where the attacking general apologized to his men for the failure of the attack and plan… and then a long siege is immediately won a day later. It’s just Gettysburg and Vicksburg. Then the Anacondan plan is just the Anaconda Plan in name that the Union used to blockade the south… but the actual details are all Sherman’s Total War/March to the Sea style of warfare. Oh, and the whole issue of slavery leading to the outbreak.
(Edit)
(See’s ending talk)
I KNEW IT! I’m so happy to see those homages were 100% deliberate.
I really love this story, one of my favorites. I love military sci-fi and Empire at War and seeing all the homages to them were great. And the homages to real military history, especially American Civil War history for a Civil War History Buff like me was great.
Ahaha I'm so glad you caught those! It was so much fun trying to figure out who each Union General would be loll. Veers as Joshua Chamberlain & Krennic as W.T. Sherman lmaoo. But I'm happy the end segment confirmed those for you! XDD
What if Jaina, Jacen and Anakin Solo were born in the Sequel Trilogy?
What if Ben Skywalker existed in the Sequel Trilogy?
Really enjoy how you write your space battles
I'm glad you enjoyed!
What an excellent Video on What if Darth Vader Started an Imperial Civil War Pante Patrol Star Wars.
This video is good man. You should do more space battle game for the background for the space, flights and in your videos but if it's too much you don't have to worry about it
Will do! Definitely looking for good places to add them in for coming stories! I'm glad you enjoyed!
One of the greatest and funniest stories I ever heard in a while.
I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Great story again! No doubt that this is a FAR MORE SUPERIOR sequel to Star Wars!
This is a really cool fan fic story. Just weird hearing normally evil people being less evil. Again I really enjoyed this story.
Soo organa didn’t tell Vader about his kids… what a G
Ok here's the best compliment I can give a story teller like you, I 1st discovered your channel. thinking these will be good bedtime stories. You are MasakoX the 2nd. Uou sir are too good of a story teller I can't sleep to your stories. Keep up with your work I wish Disney didn't kill the franchise but you sir too me keeps the force and the story truly alive.
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it! But I'm so glad you enjoy these stories!
I loved SO MUCH this history
Not because of tue finale, but in yur Midway, The battles were perfect written, history based on real battles
You should do more stories like this, long, epic and logic battles
Thanks for the video!
Will do in the future, I'm glad you enjoyed!!
What if Darth Vader abandoned the Empire to become an intergalactic podracing champion?
52 minutes? This is gonna be good
Was it 👀
If Darth Vader had initiated an Imperial Civil War during the reign of the Galactic Empire, it would have had profound and far-reaching consequences for the galaxy. Here’s a speculative breakdown of what could have happened:
### 1. **Motivation and Initiation**
- **Motivation:** Vader might have been motivated by a desire to overthrow Emperor Palpatine, either to seize power for himself or because he believed the Emperor's rule was detrimental to the galaxy (perhaps influenced by a lingering connection to his former self, Anakin Skywalker).
- **Initiation:** Vader could have started by rallying discontented factions within the Empire, such as certain high-ranking military officers, disillusioned Sith, or other dark side users who might see an opportunity for power.
### 2. **The Fracturing of the Empire**
- **Loyalists vs. Rebels:** The Empire would split into factions loyal to Palpatine and those who sided with Vader. This schism would likely result in a series of brutal battles, as both sides vied for control of the Imperial fleet and key planets.
- **Regional Governors:** Many regional governors and Moffs might choose sides based on their own ambitions, potentially leading to a fragmented Empire where different parts of the galaxy come under the control of warlords or local leaders.
### 3. **Impact on the Galactic Civil War**
- **The Rebel Alliance:** The chaos within the Empire would provide a significant advantage to the Rebel Alliance. They might exploit the infighting to launch major offensives, liberating planets, and gaining more allies.
- **Strategic Opportunities:** With the Empire’s forces divided, the Rebels could strike at weakened Imperial positions, further destabilizing the already fractured government.
### 4. **Palpatine's Response**
- **The Emperor’s Tactics:** Palpatine would likely use his mastery of manipulation to turn the conflict to his advantage, possibly pitting his enemies against each other. He might also attempt to draw out Vader’s weaknesses, such as his connection to his children, Luke and Leia, to undermine his position.
- **Superweapons:** The Emperor might deploy superweapons like the Death Star or new Sith apprentices to crush Vader’s rebellion and reassert control.
### 5. **Vader’s Leadership**
- **Strengths and Weaknesses:** As a military commander and Sith Lord, Vader is formidable, but his leadership style is harsh and driven by fear. This could lead to high initial success but eventually cause internal dissent among his followers.
- **Redemption Arc:** Depending on how much of Anakin Skywalker remains within him, Vader might struggle with his darker impulses, potentially leading to an internal conflict that could either strengthen or weaken his position.
### 6. **Outcome Scenarios**
- **Vader's Victory:** If Vader were to successfully overthrow Palpatine, he might establish a new Sith-controlled Empire with himself as the Emperor. However, his rule could be just as tyrannical, or perhaps he could be redeemed, leading to a reformed Empire with less oppression.
- **Palpatine's Retaliation:** On the other hand, Palpatine could quash Vader’s rebellion, possibly by revealing a more powerful apprentice or weapon, leading to Vader’s demise and a strengthened Imperial grip on the galaxy.
- **Mutual Destruction:** Another possibility is that the conflict could so severely weaken the Empire that both Vader and Palpatine are killed, leading to the collapse of Imperial authority and the rise of a power vacuum, with various factions and the Rebel Alliance competing for control.
### 7. **Long-Term Effects**
- **Galactic Power Structure:** The Imperial Civil War could lead to a fragmented galaxy with multiple competing powers, including remnants of the Empire, independent systems, and a possibly strengthened Rebel Alliance.
- **The Jedi and the Force:** The conflict could also influence the fate of the Jedi and the Force-sensitive individuals in the galaxy, potentially leading to the rise of new Jedi or Sith factions, depending on how the conflict plays out.
In summary, if Darth Vader had initiated an Imperial Civil War, it would have plunged the galaxy into even greater chaos, with unpredictable outcomes ranging from the rise of a new Sith Empire to the complete dissolution of Imperial control. The Rebel Alliance would have had a unique opportunity to capitalize on the situation, but the ultimate victor of such a conflict would depend on the strategies and decisions of the key players involved.
What if Ahsoka Tano trained Gungi on Lothal after ROTJ?
What if Gungi trained Grogu with GM Luke and Ben Solo on Ossus?
What if Jaro Tapal survived Order 66 with Cal Kestis and escaped Bracca?
Oh man! I been wondering this for awhile now, this’ll be Good!
Honestly, I think this was one of your best what ifs
I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Maybe a variation of this with the literal minute after Palpatine declares the empire the whole galaxy sets on fire. Just chaos human sacrifice, loth-wolfs and loth-cats living together, mass hysteria!
Basically a Star Wars version of horus heresy.
An inverted Horus Heresy.
Interesting premise and video. I would of said an easy 9 out of 10 but then the massive noise spike at the end gave me a nice dose of adrenaline.
I'm glad you enjoyed! & yes gotta blast the outro lol
What a great story, really enjoyed it!
Vader in both Legends and Canon had learned about canon. Both I believe early on in their careers, it just felt odd as hell in either timeline that Vader never truly acted against Palpatine on the issue of slavery in the empire. It's nice to see what if's where Anakin takes the issue head on in various different scenario's such as these.
Lol I agree, it was super fun to write his reaction to learning such a horrid truth here!
This guy is a great story teller why don't you make this episodes for audible?
I love how you take several what ifs from the actual comics that occurred
I'm sure many, myself included have imagined this what if for some time. More specifically since 2008 I've imagined how an Imperial "Operation Valkryie" would look. Think of it, a coup where officers assassinate the Emperor, then pin it on the Inquisitorious as well as the ruling council, removing the Dark Side from the Empire.
Would be interesting to see something like what if marvel scenarios done for star wars. Your what if scenarios are entertaining
woah that is the best one. although it didn't go the typical way for anakin it was more plausible the outcome and everybody worked together !
I'm glad you enjoyed!!
October hollowing ideas. Star wars zombie wars.
Scenario 1. What if the Blackwing virus had an outbake on Coruscant.
Scenario 2. what if the Blackwing virus had a galactic outbake, World war Z Styal. the book as well as the movie
Yoularin .. Vader breathing noises .. you have taught me to well.. Vader noises.. I shall use your tactics against the empire.. Vader breathing
What if the empire build the star forge instead of Death Star
This scenario has the makings similar to the Goldenbaum Civil War arc of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Vader and Thrawn looking like Reinhard and Kircheis.
Perhaps you could do a video on what would happen if the Yuuzhan Vong invaded in the middle of the Clone Wars? That would certainly be interesting - potentially having the CIS and Republic calling at least a temporary truce to fight against a more prevalent and common enemy. Plus, considering how much the Yuuzhan Vong hate droids, seeing them face off against trillions of CIS battle droids would certainly be intriguing, to say the least.
In a surprise post credit scene in general Thron was on the edge of known space with a fully functioning death star and 5000 star destroyers waiting for an intergalactic invasion fleet
I was chilling in history today, and then i heard something very familiar. It's called the Anaconda plan. It was used by the Union in the american Civil War. What a cool reference.
It was pretty interesting how things were different from the start just by grace of this being an inner conflict unlike with the Rebellion, and how it changed so many lives both for the better and the worse.
Yularen vs Vader was something I've never even considered, but I honestly think it's one of the best things to ever come out of the What Ifs.
Seeing Saw Guerrera of all people here was unexpected but surprisingly enjoyable, honestly the Rebirth had quite the interesting ensemble of people as it's leaders.
Good to see Anakin got his kids back and that they got to enjoy life outside the Jedi-Sith conflict.
Wow, that's a lot of different Jedi Orders, I kinda wish we got to see a bit more of that (also jay! Kanan survives here. Probably Cere too, so that's great), but who knows, maybe in another AU.
What if, instead of once then never again, Obi Wan, and later on Anakin (and Ahsoka too if you want), used Force Speed at every single chance he thought it would be useful?
Best one yet
I love the use of empire at war (or galactic conflict??) for the battles
Awesome! I'm glad you liked them! And yes, Empire At War: Forces of Corruption - Empire At War Remake Mod
That was a very good story, one of your best.
I'm glad you enjoyed!!
This is best one so far
I'm so glad you enjoyed!
What if Kanan and Ezra actually saved Luminara? Before anyone says anything about how strict Luminara was, I would like to see an alternate universe where she comes to realize how her strict training alienated Barriss from her and decides to make up for her mistake by helping the Rebels!
Amazing story
I'm glad you enjoyed!!
Aye Pente been watching you for about a year and a half now finally got a UA-cam account. Got some what if ideas if you’d like to take them.
1: What if Ezra killed thrawn or never got sent to the other galaxy with him.
2: What if the super tactical droid from the rebels episode the last battle (kalani) joined the rebel alliance or more specifically the ghost crew.
3: What if Dooku formed the cis but stayed a Jedi (still leaving the order of course)
4: What if mother Tounsan showed Grevious who really was responsible for his ship crash and what happened to his body.
5: What if a new cis formed in the wake of the new republics collapse in the force awakens to combat the first order.
6: What if the new republic wasn’t stupid and had a proper military and response to the first orders rise in the sequels. (Since you know they had to fight the empire for how many years and now thrawns reborn empire)
Read a fanfic going this direction. Except vader assassinated palps and vader legally takes over. Then has to consolidate his power by negotiating with the various moffs and thrawn.
you should follow this storyline up with the Yuhzon Vong invasion
I feel like this one is basically if Vader was the main character of the original trillogy
Dude, excellent story and originality. You could rename this: “What if Vader was a 3 dimension Character?”
Lmaoo, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Titan class mentioned, like gained
I honestly hope Vader's catalyst is learning the death of Luke and seeing the tombstone of his and Padme's child is what breaks him and made him believe Palpatine's empire has to go.
Video Idea: What if R2D2 and C3PO were the droid the stormtroopers were looking for.
Good story cool space battles I do wish you went into more specific dialogue especially between thrawn and Vader(also no mention of the deathstar?)
I'm glad you enjoyed! And yes, I didn't realize until I uploaded it, that I never mentioned the Death Star. Since this war really kicks off between 8-4 BBY, I think the Authority would've been more focused on flagships, since the DS would only encourage others to join Rebirth. But definitely should've been mentioned, which is my bad!
Fantastic Story, and the space battle footage really was a Chiefs kiss.
I'm glad you enjoyed!1
I like the detail that there is more than one Jedi Order that rises in the aftermath. The Lothal Jedi, the Night Jedi*, the Old Jedi (Yoda and Obi-Wan), the Unaligned (Anakin).
(* There was a non-fic plotbunny post on AO3 about the Mantis Crew time travelling and Cal and Merrin picking up Shmi and Anakin before Naboo happened. The general idea is Cal trains Anakin, Merrin trains Shmi as a Nightsister, they visit Dathomir and claim Savage a Feral, with the former being more inclined to the Darkker side while the latter more to the Lighter, and in the aftermath of Naboo, end up finding and taking Maul under their protection, and basically knock about the galaxy making up a mix of Jedi, Nightsister, and just a shade of Sith ideologies into their own thing and eventually running into Obi-Wan and drawing him into their little group too. I made a comment on the plotbunny saying I want to think of them taking the name "Night Jedi" and that they become agents of Controlled Chaos and Balance.)
What if General Grievous accidentally killed Palpatine during the kidnapping on Coruscant, not knowing that Palpatine was Sidious?
1. What if Asajj Ventress was trained by Yaddle?
2. What if Maul, Savage, And Feral all had the same force potential being a little bit higher then Talzins own and were all trained together to rule Dathomir and the nearby planets as well by Talzin herself and the other Dathomirians making a exceptionalism rule for them even with them not being Female they still are of Talzins bloodline with higher potentials and the same high IQs And EQs too and let's say neither Tenebrous nor Plagueis nor Sidious interfered with there work?
3. What if Dooku had the same natural long lifespan that Durge did and was one of those rare Humans to have it which is a two thousand year one or more that and he had a natural force connection a tiny sledge upper to Yodas?
4. What if Anakin was birthed and risin and brought up and taught from the day he was born by Traya herself let's say he was born during the same time she was?
5. What if Dooku never got captured by pirates nor was ever sloppy with his work never disappointing Palpatine with the Silman nor Sifo Dyas track leavers?
6. What if Ahsoka was trained by Shaak Ti and they bonded well to have a parent and child relationship?
What if the clones and droids both rebelled together in the clone wars
Although I understand why vader and sidious never fought like in the thumbnail i still wish it would have happened
that was fucken sensational. Applause
35:46
What an odd-looking star--
That's just a LA-AT flying upside-down -_-;
A low-altitude ship. In space
Lmaoo, when I saw it, I knew it had to be included XDD
What if starlight beacon just strengthen the resolve of the Republic to do what starlight was supposed to do
