"I need not twist what is already bent," is a hard line.
Another "what if?" scenario: Anakin stands before the Jedi council, having just slain Palpatine after he revealed himself to be Darth Sidious. Impressed, the council tells him that he has fulfilled his destiny, and offer to make him a Jedi Master... but Anakin politely declines. He reveals that he married Padme in secret, and with the war coming to an end, and with Anakin about to become a father, he wants only to be with his family without having to hide. Windu protests, but Yoda, Plo Koon, and Obi-Wan are more understanding. Anakin thanks them for their guidance and promises that, if they ever need him, he will return. Obi-Wan says he will miss Anakin, but wishes him happiness, and promises that the force will be with him, always.
@@toddsmitts I need this fr lol
They'd still deny him the rank of master just because
WE NEED THIS ABOVE ALL ELSE!!!!!
Windu cuts Anakin off: Excuse me young Skywanker, but what put you under the impression that we care? You could have told us this years ago and we wouldn't even remember after lunch.
Yoda: oggh, ehh hee hee!
Peak beautiful idea n story choice fr
There is the darkest disturbance in the Force.
Luke is indecisive. Palpatine: "Henceforth you shall be known as Darth Decisive."
Good one 🤣🔥
How about Darth Whineybitch? Seems appropriate.
Truthfully It’d be either “Darth Paragon” or “Darth Sohn”
"Luke... Luke... You were supposed to take steps into a larger world, not join them!!" -Obi Wan's pissed off ghost
obiwan sees the future of the mouse- nevermind....this is better.
Your Serenity and lust for peace have already done that
Palpatine said "King in waiting", not *Emperor* in waiting. That's Palpatine way of subtly ensuring Luke will always be beneath him and under his control.
Dang, that was smart.
@jacobsoto7228 Thanks.
I was waiting for Sidious to anoint Luke with Luke’s Sith name.
Palpy the master manipulator
And grandfather
"everything that has transpired has done so according to my design"
This was scary... in the best way possible.
I am one of those few that truly love the EU story Dark Empire. This was a nice & different twist to that, still taking place within ROTJ. So similar to DE yet so very different. As always, this was crushing it! The dialogue in your vids are at times superb!
The Dark Empire Trilogy was totally awesome! I really enjoyed it. Yes, this video certainly has the feel of Dark Empire I. Would be nice to see a video of Luke talking to DE Sidious. 🥰
Wait for leia to fight her brother as yoda said. "There is another one..."
I would love that
A member of the Skywalker family turning to the dark side and fighting their twin sister? Something about this feels familiar...
@@toddsmittsJacen and Jaina
@@toddsmittsthey should have made Rey and Kylo Ren siblings and would be a targaryen like incestuous standoff
@@DarthVader-1701yah we all know how that one ended…
And he would've gotten away with it, too, if those meddling Rebels didn't blow up the Death Star 30 seconds later!
😂😂😂
In the EU novel TRUCE AT BAKURA, Luke is pondering how he could have accepted Palpatine's offer, ruled the Empire, "and been killed when the Death Star blew up."
Thrawn talks about Palpatine using "battle meditation" to help the Imperials at Endor, but he seemed too busy drooling over Vader and Luke fighting.
@@mquinn1984what?
The opposite outcome is also very interesting as a "what if" scenario: Vader kills Luke, fully committing to the dark side and letting his past go. Palpatine, for the first time since Anakin's defeat on Mustafar, sees the true potential of his apprentince and feels fear as Vader approaches him. Vader bows before Sidious and they continue to rule the Empire. Sidious continues to train Vader and observes as his power becomes unstoppable, overcoming the limitations of his injuries and eventually he wil turn against Sidious as all the Sith have since Bane.
As interesting as this video was, I like your idea better.
That would be interesting but even if Vader had defeated Luke he would have been in no shape to fight palpatine.
Vader was too weak to defeat Palpatine alone. That’s why he needed Luke’s help.
This is an outstanding channel. Please note that it does not focus on action but on the dialogue that was so missing from the last sequels. Disney, please take note.
Disney doesn’t want movies where people stand around and talk the entire time. There is no profit in that.
@ And that is why you fail.
Palpatine seems almost genuine here - perhaps now he has an apprentice that isn't just a tool to get to a better one he'd treat them - never as an equal but on slightly better terms; like he would have done with Anakin had he not screwed up and been defeated by Obi Wan.
Palpatine is so good at mamipulation that he fooled you too. After he betrayed and disgarded Plagus, Maul, Tyranus, Vader... you beleived his lies a 5th time
@@MegaClubVideocon Bro got Palped
he just needs a young body to transfer his essence to.
@@freshseth8325 or attempt too* isnt guaranteed to succeed fyi
@@131313chemistry ofc not, but thats his goal, one of his goals
Cool scenario you deserve more subscribers
3:46 I can't say I agree that this would be Luke's first task. While it's obviously similar to Anakin's first task, Luke hadn't grown bitter against the Rebellion. At least, not yet. Why not task Luke with investigating Luthen, or his remaining network? Or send Luke on a path where he discovers the choices Mon Mothma made earlier in the Rebellion? That would begin to sour Luke toward the Rebellion...............
Basically Dark Empire serises lore
I think the only way for him to truly become a Sith would be to kill Leah.
I think Luke already been througth all that and did not react nearly as bad as anakin did. Hes just better then anakin jes stronger more powerful in the force and learns quicker and his rage is greater and better controlled. This is what palpatine greatly feared. He could not use him like a tool or really control him he could only bribe him to fall of his own choosing. Througth his near infinite rage.
This is Anakin 2.0 turning towards the darkness with Palpatine yet again being the Puppet Master 😈
This reminds me of the force unleashed dlc. Granted it’s not canon but still a cool story line. Starkiller strikes down Vader and becomes a servant for palpatine. Then he goes to Hoth and turns Luke evil while letting Han escape. But that Luke was angered in the fight. This one seems calmer like student curious about the ideas in front of him. Obviously this is fanfiction but still and interesting take.
We need a Dooku killing Palpatine and creating his new empire and then he talks to one of the spirits of the Sith
Thanks for adding subtitles. I always like it when subtitles or captions are in a vid. ^^
This UA-cam channel is fucking amazing. We need Star Wars movies with this intrigue and dialogue.
@1:09 I love the video, but Luke would know Padme's name at this time?
Also, hearing Luke Skywalker recite the Sith Code is one of the most chilling things I've heard from any Star Wars media.
That Luke quotes the sith code at the end.....
The Sith Code at the end was a nice touch.
Would love to see more videos of “The New Jedi Order” & “Fate of the Jedi” books.
These videos are better than anything Disney has done in years. Way to go.
Nearly leapt when I saw this.
Him calling Luke different is so manipulative and accurate to Palpatine. Make him feel different, special.
This was the best one you’ve done yet. Great job.❤
Your videos are amazing! Better than anything by Disney! Please keep making them!
Fun fact this was the original ending fir return of the jedi
So I've heard, yes. They apparently did talk about it, think about it.
Darth Zahn, fans Sith name for Luke, meaning Son, derived from the German word "Sohn"
Nah. Not a good name
If you're doing what if scenarios I have several, but I'll start with this. Anakin stands by as Windu slays Palpatine. Anakin is broken, his mentor just died in front of him and he doesn't know what to do if he can do anything. Windu comforts Anakin, and tells him he did the right thing. He calls for a gunship to take them back to the Jedi Temple. In the Jedi Temple the Council gives Anakin the rank of Jedi Master. Satisfied that he now know's the power to save Padmé's life, Anakin admits to Obi-Wan about his marriage to her. Obi-Wan informs Anakin that he always knew and said he would support him should he tell the council.
Realistically they'd both blow up with the Death Star (the Rebels were already attacking it while he was busy giggling on his chair), but I do like just how clever and manipulative he is toward Luke.
Palpatine might be able to use some Sith BS to stop them or realistically they’d escape and Palpatine would resume using his battle meditation on the Imperial fleet to rally it to victory.
Palpatine: Did I mention I have a hot redhead who serves as my Emperor’s Hand?
Luke: … go on.
These just keep getting better and better!
Hearing Luke say the sith code gave me chills
That ending had me chilling wow
I like the music in this one. Like a more subtle chilling version of the Emperor's theme.
Ohhhh I’m so excited to hear the rest of this!!!! Luke as a Sith!!!! And that dialogue
And as Luke walked away, he felt a sudden craving to drink green milk directly from the teat of a disgusting creature.
This is flat out epic, I love this!
Now that is what they call 'Peace through strength')
Here’s a good one.
In “The Force Unleashed,” after the alternate Dark ending, Starkiller goes to Hoth and turns Luke to the Dark Side.
A dialogue between Lord Starkiller and his new apprentice would be cool.
Fantastic.
Thank you my friend.
The best one of these I have seen.
The dialogue of this video is top-tier.
You should star wars what ifs in this art these shorts are really dope keep working
I need like a whole series or movie on this this 5 minute short was better than anything disney has done since purchasing star wars from lucasfilms
this feels like dark empire 😮😮 amazing 👏 🤩 🙌
This almost makes me hopeful for a ROTR what if where Obi-Wan Kenobi confronts Darth Sidious.
0:30 - You can easily tell Palpetine is very old at this point just by looking at him .
Yes he's 86 in Return of the Jedi
Luke Skywalker In this alternate timeline became The Lost 22
Absolutely amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Hearing Luke say the Sith code sent chills down my spine!
Even Dark Luke hates Palpy. Poor guy can't get any love.
An alternate Universe Where Luke subdued to The Darkside fully and Killed Vader/Anakin after their Duel and become Palpatine/Sidious's New Apprentice was honestly Terrifying tho, probably Only Leia that will Be Galaxy's last hope and no other choice but to Fight His Brother who had been turned into The New Sith Lord Of The Empire... 🤯
That’s what I was thinking too. Leia is going to have to stop Luke and either turn him back to the light or kill him.
A scenario like that did almost play out in the Dark Empire storyline from Legends (AKA what the sequels tried to be).
@@coruscant100 ahh yeahh I remember that lol
How would Leia stop Luke?😅
@@justinecker4379 yeahh I could see probably Leia would try to turn Luke back to The Lightside, and of course it will be needed much effort to do, but knowing Luke, probably turning him back to The Lightside would be possible..
I wonder if Lucasfilm has ever seen this channel.
Let us hope so. Let’s really hope so.!
@ I wonder if LF still holds that annual contest that people can submit their custom made SW media (live action, animated).
Why would they tho
We only hope that this channel remains hidden in the light, far far away from Disney. For to have the channel revealed is a fate worse than death. Disney, with all it's corporate power seek to conquer all that cling to the past in hope of a better future. They want only for fans to let the past die, Disney will kill it if they have to. That's the only way they will make people like their Star Wars, the way to become what they believe it is meant to be.
If they ever do they should be in envy! The dialogue in these vids go way above mastery over the terrible crap they try to push on us.
Your very good at what you do keep it up 👍
Meanwhile the Rebellion blows up the Death Star while they are chatting.
This is not Return of the Jedi more like Fall of the Jedi.
@@nandiplays3875 yeah because The Chosen One is already dead and the Prophecy has failed, and The Hope For The Galaxy already been turned into The Hope For The Empire and The Sith, truly terrifying in that Alternate Universe tho
Luke's Sith Lord name probably will be "Darth Wyrm"
@@KingGesurawhat about Leia?
The failing return of the Jedi *
@@AlexNasvik if she turned into Sith Lord then "Darth Vicious"? That cross up to my mind lol 😆
@@KingGesuraDarth Wyrm? So…like a worm. Not a very awe or fear inspiring name tbh. Darth Vicious works I suppose, pretty in line with Sidious
"I need not twist what is already bent."
WOW
Lucas said the original ending was Luke putting on Vader's mask and saying "Now I am Vader. I will go and kill the rebel fleet and I will rule the galaxy."
And in Dark Empire, he would plan to rule the universe in secret while Luke's descendants would be the "public" Imperial family.
Will always wonder would could have been.
It's weirdly fitting, but also hilarious when Sidious blinks; very reptilian, haha.
Oooohhhhh the code at the end!! 🎉
Palpatine persuasive as always
For Christmas can we get a Jar-Jar talking to Jabba the Hutt?
Awesome video.
The dialogue script is very in keeping with Star Wars!
The most HONEST Star Wars video ever made.
The galaxy of order. And the snickers of darkness. I feel a strong disturbance in the milky way and I have a bad feeling about this.
" And now: RISE ,
D a r t h _ N o v a ! "
4:01 Luke just says what Darth Baras in SWTOR once said.
🤷🏻♂️ That's the Code of the Sith.
@ yes, but Darth Baras said this codex to his apprentice on korriban in the beginning of swtor
@@ScienceLe It's still word for word the Code of the Sith.
We need more of this
The Lost 22 Scenario. Lost 20: Count Dooku, Lost 21: Darth Vader, and Lost 22: Luke Skywalker.
Your best yet but I spent the whole video waiting to find out what Luke’s Sith name was, only for it never to arrive!
Who needs Disney+ when you have this channel?
BTW, this is as dark as watching Abraham Lincoln do a Gettysburg Address, but in favor of the confederacy
The thing that always got me about return of the Jedi, is that even if this happened, they both would’ve died like 30 seconds later anyway lol. Han Solo got the shields down and Lando blew up the reactor completely independent of what was happening in the throne room.
Luke was able to escape the Death Star's destruction in RotJ so he and Palpatine should've been able to do so here too. Presumably they would be having this long chat on a shuttle flying away rather than dicking around on the Death Star after its shield was down.
Any chance for a young Leia interaction with Yoda?? Maybe during the time shortly after Return of the Jedi?! Perhaps he offers some insight which established her choice to not pursue her Jedi training and instead focus on leading the Rebellion. Again thank you for your great work.
great video
This was a nice alternate reality…👍💯
Okay!! Im in! Go ahead and do a “what If” trilogy about Luke falling to the dark side! Take my money!
Luke's feelings about Darth Vader in this scene are completely realistic. If I had found out someone had done that to my mother and sister, I would have done worse.
Palpatine was responsible for the death of Luke's Mother, Uncle and Aunt, and indirectly the death of his father. In time under the emperor he would have been sent to kill Leia. As a Sith his rage would have been unimaginable, and in short time i think hed have surpassed Palpatine and killed him.
Thank you for adding subs!
Luke at this point didn't even know his mother's name, let alone what Vader did to her.
Disney.....I dare you. I dare whomever, the talent scout/director/ or Bob Iger his damn self to allow this UA-cam creator(s) to craft a 15-30 min treatment for a show scene or short.....without creative restraints. They are allowed whatever dialogue, setting- old or new- continuity, and theme to craft their vision , WITH NO MICROMANAGMENT from you all, just complete autonomy to borrow your IP for a moment.
THEN , you all take that 15 min- ish short treatment, and screen it on May 4th/ May the Fourth Day. In front of the SW fan base, old and new fanatics alike on a massive stage. And watch the response !
Whomever this person or individuals are, hav more fucking respect for George's vision than you could ever hope to . They respect the source material, the characters, the THEMES- struggle, hope, redemption, forgiveness, good vs evil, ....the whole nine yards. It's the absolute embodiment of what Star Wars is meant to be !!!!!! We are all here in our zone- no one calling anyone "woke", "toxic" or anything like. This is pure , unadulterated entertainment. Follow this guy's examples, and you can rectify your 12 year long error!!!!
Watching these vids, is like nestling into a warm familiar blanket after being left in the cold, cold weather after so very long.
The line in the end of video from Luke Skywalker is from Darth Malek line from the fan made film with Darth Revan.
@NimbusTM I know it's part of the sith believe
It’s in The Knights of the Old Republic game. When you infiltrate the sith temple on Korriban as a sith initiate. You have to learn the code as part of the trials.
Man, hearing Luke recite the Sith code is something I don’t like just knowing the character of Luke Skywalker
Luke spent a good few minutes arguing and answering back just to capitulate in about 2 seconds 🤪 still, great videos thanks for making them 👍
I'd love to see a similar version, but with Vader, Luke and Leia...the Skywalker dynasty ruling the Empire and the galaxy.
Peace is suppression. Power is responsibility. The Rebellion should not have necessary, yet it was. Palpatine stands not for responsibility, yet he speaks about peace! A Jedi shall not lie!
No matter who won the second Death Star would have still been destroyed and whoever was still onboard would be killed. Palpatine had no idea what was going on outside his tower other than the shield was down.
Better then anything Disney has put out. That was amazing
Need a full darkside luke movie. Would be insane
Yes
Ian McDairmid had a cracking voice 👍
Gracias por los subtitulos. Sigue así
They need to make a what if show like marvel has. This was great.
This already happened though, not directly after entire of the Jedi; but in Legends.
Star Wars: Dark Empire. Luke did join the emperor while simultaneously fighting against it.
This is very cool, yes, imagine there was some sort of live action or animated series or film set just after Revenge of the Sith called Lies of the Jedi! Just imagine Star Wars hired u to be one of their animators, I bet u’d be known as “The Amateur Animator” though you haven’t learnt animation through college or university, u learnt it all urself, u taught urself animation
The problem with palpatine is that he gives hoodies a bad reputation. Mind you all that started when C3PO and R2D2 are taken in by them in their crazy machine when they crash land on Tatoone.
