What If Darth Vader Joined the Rebel Alliance 

"I am part of the rebel alliance and a traitor, take me away!" "Hey, wait a minute..."

What if Palpatine had an experience in the Light Side of the Force, and gave up on most of his plans just before Order 66, but still wanted to call out the Jedi’s hypocrisy?

What if Anakin did not stop Mace Windu because he was distracted by a box of kittens left in front of the Jedi Temple

Anakin: fine with killing children Also anakin: I DRAW THE LINE AT SLAVERY

Vader went Among Us mode, funniest thing i heard in weeks 😂

I have to say, I am really impressed by how natural you make Vader's turn to the Rebel Alliance seem.

I've got a good one for you. Not sure if anyone has ever tackled this one, but: "What if Tarkin joined the Rebels?"

Obi-Wan: Leia, he's your father Anakin: *What!?*

Man this was great, the whole Vader or in this case Anakin setting up the Empire to fall from within like that was well detailed. This gave me Metal Gear vibes, Anakin felt like a combination of Solid Snake and Ocelot. Obviously Anakin's actions had consequences he had to live with but was able to power through for a better tomorrow which does add this hopeful feeling to the what if. And the creativity in Anakin setting up the freak accidents and his behind the scenes actions felt well done. Heh... "What If Vader was a double agent in the Empire." That'd be a nice alternate name for this.

What if Luke fell to the Dark Side while Vader turned to the light after ESB? Gradually, not instantly of course.

"Anakin blows up Exegol" YES THANK YOU

Vader becomes the ultimate prankster

What a great little story. My god, this kid has more talent than anyone at Disney/Star Wars 2023. Great job kid!

I like the switch of Leia being a Jedi and Luke the politician. I love the redemption of Anakin and he staying in the light

Never have I seen a story where Leia becomes a Jedi and Luke like his mother. Good role reversal, really took me by surprise. Amazing story ❤

The thumbnail art looks great! Love Vader’s design.

What if Rots Anakin time travelled to see luke after Rotj

1. What if The Jedi Order never became too sure of themselves and were always cautious in case dark siders came back to wreck catastrophe no matter how long The Sith have not made a grand entrance? 2. What if Palpatine actually genuely cared about Dooku as a best friend forever type of relation? 3. What if Obi Wan was framed for the jedi temple bombing instead of Ahsoka? 4. What if Palpatine was still a force user with the same midichlorian count the difference being he was trained by more Grey Area force users holos like Traya, Revan, And Dooku and took there philosophy yet still felt the need to be a politician although one that is a much less corrupt one like Padme, Bail, And Mina? 5. What if Anakin lost the people closest to him around the same time around Late TCW His Children, Padme, Obi Wan, Ahsoka, Palpatine(Lets Say He Did Not Find Out He Was Playing Him Until Years Afterwards). 6. What if Sidious mastered cloning of himself way before The Phantom Menace started so he felt there was no need for Talzin, Maul, Dooku, Anakin, Galen, Or Luke to be his apprentices at any point? 7. What if Mace was trained by Rahm Kota? 8. What if Mace had better social skills or people skillers? 9. What if Mace still had hair? 10. What if Yoda mastered the force so well even by TPM Timeline that he was able to use the force to make himself six feet tall?

what if Windu wasn't stopped because Anakin stubbed his toe💀

Anti-hero Darth Vader is really bad ass. Another Ox approved episode

The one sad part about this is that we don't get Han Solo.

You put together a very nice story PP. I loved how unique it was. And the bond Leia n Anakin had was adorable.

1. What if Tyber Zann became emperor 2. What if Ben Solo joined the Zann Consortium 3. What if Wullf Yularen was a Sith 4. What if Bail Organa joined the Separatists 5. What if Wullf Yularen joined the Rebellion 6. What if Andor was a Sith 7. What if Dass Jennir trained Ahsoka Tano 8. What if Wullf Yularen was a Jedi 9. What if Andor joined the ISB 10. What if Wullf Yularen died in the battle of Ryloth

I had originally came up with the idea of Leai saving Vader as a child, but this story has better ring to it. Day 13 of my list. What if; Anakin never gave into his feelings for Padme, Aayla Secura was the chosen one and became Darth Talon, Shme Skywalker was adopted by the Tusken Raiders, Boba Fett saved his Tusken family, Count Dooku was a regular count for the CIS, Jabba the Hutt supported the Jedi at the Start of the Clone Wars, and finally, what if Sabine and Ezra fell in love? Side note: I noticed a lot of your stories has Bail Organa being the chancellor in the end, so I was wondering about a what if Padme was chancellor or at the very least thinking of making Padme chancellor at the end of the story.

Later April Fools what if suggestion. What if Qui-gon Jinn was a prankster as a force ghost? There's nothing in Star Wars lore that necessarily saying that this would be against the will of the force.

This has to be one of coolest what ifs and well written too. Great take on the "What if Vader turned good"

"What if" the Jedi Discovered that the Sith Temple under their own on Coruscant was corrupting them?

Yet again another great video by Pente. One of the few SW Creators who portrays Vader so well in all of his videos.

You know. I like how the spark that lead to Anakin's turn and redemption is actually a believable scenario. Great work.

I love this story. You have manmaged to do something I never considered possible. You turned Darth Vader into a hero. Someone who I'd follow through hell...

I'm sure these aren't easy to write, but it amazes me how a youtuber can make better content then the writers Disney employees for their movies.

What if Disney never bought star wars and mark hamill bought it instead

What if the clones had 50/50 split? Anikin didn't turn but Ashoka did with the 501st. While factions of the CIS split some rejoining the republic

He doesn't write Sidious like he's an evil mastermind, he writes him like he's a fool.

What if Han Solo was adopted by Mandalorians? What if the Yuuzhan Vong were canon? What if Chewbacca was Force-sensitive?

Love the Leia and Her father’s Relationship

Great story and a worthy end for the Empire. What if Vader arrived at the Inquisitor base early and upon seeing Leia's fear of him made him remember Padme and forced him to face the truth of what he had become. Not returning to the light but no longer a Sith, more of a Grey Jedi who used both the light and the dark. What if Anakin and Kit Fisto were dispatched to Dooku's palace on secret mission to find information on the Sith lord after the rescue of the chancellor.

Yep. He just did that. Just tried to make slavery a good thing to a former slave boy... What if Steela Gerrera survived? What if Tarkin Destroyed Lothal instead of Alderaan? What if Hondo discovered Ezra before the ghost crew? (Pirate Jedi!) What if Ezra's parents, or at least his father, was sent to the Narkina 5 Imperial Prison Complex? What if Anakin helped Obi Wan save Satine? What if General Kalani joined the rebels? What If R2-D2 failed and the Rhydonium bomb went off on time? What if Palpatine lost his connection to the force? (When trying to turn Yoda, the force would push back.) What if Ezra joined the empire? (Like the what if Luke joined the empire.) What if Palpatine really did love democracy? What if Dooku owned a tusken rifle for home defense? (Three jedi ruffians break into his home.) What if Pente Patrol Star Wars was the Jedi's PR manager? What if Star Wars was in Earth? What if Cham Syndulla was made Senator? (Instead of trying to get rid of Cham Syndulla, the empire gets rid of Orn Free Taa and makes Syndulla the senate leader. Using his popularity with his people to control the population and the semi unspoken threat that his daughter could be considered an accomplice to Gobi Glie's vile act of murdering Orn Free Taa if he didn't.) What if Imperial Bio-weapons project I71A was run by dr Nuvo Vindi on Lothal? What if Sabine Wren stayed with the Empire? What if Haji fired on the escape pod? What if Obi-Wan used force heal on Padme? What if Captian Tarkin died at the citadel? What if Asajj Ventress and the Nightsisters successfully assassinated Dooku? What if Anakin was born a women? Kendall Skywalker. What if Anakin died to torture? (I don't know what you mean. -Dooku) What if that super Tactical droid that threw hands with Anakin, killed him? (Smashed his helmet and he suffocated.)

What if, instead of Qui-Gon, another Jedi Master found Anakin?

What if the Sith Empire returned during the High Republic Era? What if Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann had a child? What if Cal And Merrin had a daughter? What if Ezra and Sabin had a child What if Luke Skywalker found love? What if Luke and Leia found out they were siblings earlier? What if Padme was enslaved? What if Han was saved from Jabba but Leia failed to kill him and escape so was still enslaved?

What if Anakin was Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate? Adventuring across the Tri-Planet area, dealing with the evil undead pirate Captain Palpatine, and winning the love of his life Governor Padme Amidala. Basically, I'd love the story of the Monkey Island games told in the Star Wars universe. The first 4 games are a product of LucasArts and reference other Lucas properties like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc.

What if Anakin left the Jedi order to free slaves in the outer rim?

The what if Vader trained Leia was good! I feel like he would have been interested and involved in any plan concerning kenobi. Very well done.

I want What if the jedi legends came back to life.I really want this.

You have a way with words that few have. Well Spoken, and Well Written. Can't wait for more What Ifs!

When I first saw this video was coming up, I thought "Oh, Double Agent Vader!". The only thing with that is that for someone who reads a lot on AO3, that is the flagship title of Fialleril's Tatooine Slave Culture fanon. Basically, Fialleril created a concept of a secret culture that exists amongst the slaves of Tatooine, with its own gods, myths, stories, language, and customs. There is another fic series named "Desert Storm" by a different writer that is usually quoted as one of the tentpole fics too, but now, people take the general slave culture and throw it into fics as flavour, even in fics that are not featuring Anakin, or Tatooine, with the story I am currently reading actually having a scene where an elder slave explains that no one is sure which world it started on, and the circumstances may change details (like ocean waves replacing sandstorms, and a purrgil god being the spacefaring cousin of the kraytt dragon goddess Leia), but it is has spread across slaves all around the galaxy as they have been sold off. The Double Agent Vader storyline has the trigger moment for Vader being a mission he is sent on to Tattooine, where while he is there, he hears a Gan-Amu (slave "Grandmother" wise-woman) telling the stories of Ekkreth, the Trickster god. He reconnects with his birth culture, adopts the identity of Ekkreth, and starts working as, well, a double agent, feeding intel to the Rebllion, which in turn results in him sneaking data drives into Princess Leia's pockets, and eventually becoming her mentor in mind shielding when he realises she's Force Sensitive, and eventually building her a lightsaber (which Luke spots the symbol of Leia the Kraytt Dragon on and thinks it looks like something he knows but has misgivings because how would a Coreworld Princess know Amavikka symbols?).

1) In Marvel What if, Ultron and Watcher briefly broke into Mustafar overseeing Vader's castle. What if Vader senses a great disturbance was coming and prepared himself being in that brief moment and while Ultron is fully focused fighting Watcher, Vader pulls out with the Force the Infinity Stones from Ultron, so fast that neither Watcher or Ultron can react and they continue breaking into another dimension, leaving Vader with the Infinity Stones on his hands? 2) What if knowing how treacherous the Sith are and that obviously Palpatine wants Anakin as his apprentice, Dooku set up a deadman switch in case Palpatine betrayed him? Just as Palpatine is declaring the Empire the timer hits 0 and the Holonet is hit with a full confession from Dooku as well as mountains of evidence with conversations between him and Palpatine/Sidious? The spread by the Holonet is done by Super Tactical Droids specifically commanded to ignore any shutdown command. 3) After learning about Darth Sidious in Geonosis rather than dismissing it, the Jedi Council combine their force power, with Anakin invited, to try to find the truth. A future far ahead in a galaxy far, far away, a young man is falling from a heart attack only to suddenly find himself floating in a starry strange world full of portals as he is pulled into one. The great detective L. Lawliet appears in the council chamber with the information about him imprimpted on the minds of the Council and Anakin (L knows nothing about them so they will need to explain). It is clear this is a gift from The Force to help them solve the case of Darth Sidious. 4) What if the Anakin from the World Between Worlds went back to beginning if the Empire to train Ahsoka in both the light and dark as the successor of the Chosen One to bring an earlier end of the Empire and prevent the events in the sequels? He could even eventually direct her to bathe in the pool of knowledge and drink fron the font of power making Ahsoka a being of balance ready to whoop the Sith's asses.

What if the Thanos snap took place in the Star Wars galaxy? Would the Empire and Rebels join forces to return the galaxy back to normal?

What if Saw Gerrera joined the formal Rebel Alliance? What if Saw Gerrera joined the phoenix squad as an actual member? What if Saw Gerrera left with Jyn Erso when in Rogue one before the Death Star destoryed Jeddah city? What if Luke fell in love with Sabine Wren? What if Luke was raised on Naboo? What if Luke was raised in Lothal?

What if Darth Jadus who Valkorion once called the greatest sith lord his old sith empire ever produced returned during the events of the sequel trilogy instead of palpatine?

Lucasfilm really needs to do a Star Wars “What If” with the stories from RU-vidrs like yourself writing the stories. This was really good.

What if Dooku went with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan back to Naboo after the conversation in Tales of the Jedi? What is Dooku accpeted Yaddle's offer and fought Sidious? What if the Jedi Council went with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan back to Naboo? What if Dooku was on the Jedi Council/What if there were 13 seats on the Jedi Council instead of 12? What if Cham Syndulla successfully assassinated Palpatine and Vader? What is General Grivious killed/captured Obi-Wan on Utapau?

What if Anakin and Vader were actually separate personalities inside of one body

This does make me wonder how the story would have gone if Vader had defected after witnessing for the first time what Death Star was capable of doing

“Yo The Rebels Is Very chill, Maybe you can join it or something”

What If on Halo 3's final mission the portal on the Ark sends the Forward unto Dawn (intact or split) carrying Master Chief, Cortana and Arbiter (all together, two or one depending if the ship splits or not) A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away . . . . Star wars (or to be more specific at the start or little before the Phantom Menace or New Hope) let the debate begin !?! Warning this is a work in progress! but feel free to take, edit and use in your final draft if you wish, just a small mention/credit of what I may have contributed will be fine with me :) Option 1, Arbiter solo: The front half of the Forward unto Dawn carrying Arbiter teleports into the Star Wars galaxy at speed, passes the CIS blockade, who are left wondering WTF was that, but of course turn their attention to another approaching ship ( Qui Gon Jinn / Obi Wan kenobi journey stays the same for now ... ) Arbiter crashes into the ocean or large lake on the planet of Naboo, after salvaging what he can and escaping the sinking wreck Arbiter sets off in search of civilization ... only at first to find Jar Jar Binks !?! ... After setting up camp for the night and having something to eat ( either human ration packs salvaged from the F.U.D | or some form of creature that Arbiter would be able to catch/eat ) lured by the smell of food Jar Jar " Attempts " to sneak up! ... Only to get caught (detected via Arbiters hunter/warrior senses ... that or his motion tracker) after a lot of begging/bargaining Arbiter takes pity on him and offers Jar Jar a deal, guide him to the " Human " capital of Naboo in exchange for food/protection (Jar Jar of course would accept this offer, what with being banished from going home for being clumsy) along the way perhaps they'll find a crashed but still operational warthog (which is worse, trusting Jar Jar to drive or shoot !) after some driving they come under attack from scouts of the droid invasion followed by the JEDI who come to their aid and ... could also appreciate a ride ... ( JJ will likely call Arbiter " Arby " for short throughout the story ) Option 2, Chief / Cortana: The back half of the Forward unto Dawn carrying Chief / Cortana teleports into from their perspective a unknown region of space! Cortana of course will start running scans of the area and drop a beacon for potential rescue (for about 4 years, 7 months, 10 days she won't be suffering from rampancy yet) ... oh would you look at that its the ship that Qui Gon Jinn/ Obi Wan kenobi are traveling on, after some basic introductions / explanations the JEDI will ask if MC/C would like to accompany them to the planet of Naboo or wait for another ship to give them a tow 1a) if they stay some time later the JEDI will send a message saying the CIS have just attempted to kill them, rather than being sitting ducks, Cortana uses what control they have over the F.U.D to steer it to Naboo for a controlled crash landing then using a escape pod. 1b) if they leave with the JEDI, the F.U.D will be left behind for now, will it stay adrift in space, get caught in Naboo's gravitational pull and crash there!) When arriving at the CIS blockade MC/C will have another two choices 2a) Stay in ship until what should be " short negotiations " are over! ... outcome: ship gets blown up with MC/C just about escaping the blast or rises from the wreckage like a Demon to the bewilderment of the battle droids 2b) Join the JEDI in the meeting to introduce themselves to this new galaxy or pretend to be acting security! ... outcome: oh boy, if the CIS were spooked about JEDI showing up in the original story, what are going to think Chief is ... Mandalorian perhaps ( they won't know anything about Cortana yet ) When Lord Sidious gives the order " kill them immediately " so the CIS blows up the horse they rode in on and " try " to gas the JEDI / Chief ... pfffft ha ha ha ha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA cue the song ( Unyielding Soul ) | whichever scenario plays they link up and fight their way to the bridge (next question is can Cortana interface/hack the doors for the bridge e.g. is there a control panel they can hack? ... also don't forget the blast doors) still even after all that the droidika's with their shields may still be problematic leading to the group needing to sneakoff the ship! Option's 1/2 combined: When combining these perspectives most details stay the same, with the exception of Chief / Cortana telling the JEDI that Arbiter is about to crash-land on the planet of Naboo (or already has) they'll also be able to keep in contact with Arbiter via COM's until the CIS blocks communications!

What if Vader found yoda on degobah and Yoda successfully turns Vader back to the light, just before the events of A New Hope, everything else with luke still happens but obiwan lives?

I have a What if for this What If; what if Vader also tried converting inquisitors back?

That's the best "what if" I've seen for a while. 👏

This was a nice story and was quite enjoyable the whole way through. I do admit though I really hate the force projection scene, and I have yet to see it used in a way that I enjoy. Still a great story 9.9/10

What if Anakin didn't kill the Tusken Raiders but instead left the camp, unleashed his rage on some rocks all while the Tusken Raiders watched from a safe distance. The idea with this is the Raiders were spared his wrath and saw his pain in his strikes against rock faces. Rage unleashed upon inanimate objects is healthier than doing it to living beings.

Day 16: What if Darth Zannah was a Jedi? Either she refrains from killing the Jedi who originally comes for her, or another Jedi takes her instead soon after, assuming Bane doesn't find her or a twin of some kind exists. She undergoes training until she becomes a Jedi Knight or perhaps even a Jedi Master. Then, she receives one of two visions. The first vision portrays Anakin or Luke as the chosen one. She believes in the prophecy and enters stasis, intending to train them to confront Palpatine during the Clone Wars or the time of the Empire. The second vision involves Palpatine himself, maybe as the Emperor. Believing that she is the chosen one due to this, she enters stasis until the Clone Wars, awakened by the Force or some other catalyst. To fight him herself. To maintain her characterization as the Zannah we know and love, she excels as a master of Form Three and is proficient in Jedi Alchemy or sorcery, perhaps even both. I think the second vision would make for a better story, as training Anakin/Luke videos are already abundant on your channel.

What if the New Republic never signed a treaty with the empire and kept fighting the remnants? What if the New Republic did sign the treaty but kept militarizing and kept and adapted imperial technology and research (like Dr. Pershing)?

Their was a series of comics known as "Star Wars: Infinities" which were alternate history type stories where certain events and Characters take a different path. Now thinking about it, imagine a comic based on the scenarios you created, including this one?

It's hard to see Vader not having a grudge against Obi-Wan for the way he abandoned him to the fire, personally.

Great story! Wish we could have heard a bit more about other Jedi and how they reacted, but besides that it was very interesting.

What if Vader raised starkiller like he would have Luke?

Question: How did Anakin know about force projection? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but it sounded like Anakin would have been too busy to learn the technique and as far as I am aware neither Ben nor Ahsoka knew of it either.

What's good about this is that Kanan gets to live, as does Cere and Trilla. Couple that with Ahsoka never having to fight Vader and we have a decent roster of powerful unorthodox Jedi to kiclstart the Jedi order again. Cal Trilla Cere Ahsoka Obi-Wan Ezra Kanan Luke and hopefully Leia too

Anakin beat sidious by force projection that's freaking dope.

Omg I was actually looking forward to this one Props to Tilian for this epic thumbnail btw! We don't say it much, but we do love him ♥

I like the mental image that Vader unable to feel close to any colleagues, made an army of droids to cooperate and maybe consult with.

Anakin trolling Sidious like Luke trolled Kylo Ren on Crait was just awesome

Absolutely excellent presentation.

YAY!!!! Can you please do... What if Anakin vowed loyalty to the Zygerrian queen What if Dooku didn't go to Zygerria and Anakin couldn't escape What if Ashoka fell in love with Anakin but he didn't fall in love with her What if Anakin trained Ezra What if Ezra and Leia fell in love What if Ezra saved Mace when he was trying to save Ashoka What if Hera was a Jedi What if Anakin didn't fall in love with Padme but she was OBSESSED with him I would love to see these videos!! Can you please do them? Thank you for what you are doing!

Stories like this make me want a Star Wars what if show

You just killed Thrawn like it was nothing…

If you think about in each way if proves Qui-Gon was right Anakin being the chosen one while almost everyone else didn't think it was so. The movie 4-6 shows it, as well as this video you did.

The start of anakin’s career: blowing up a battleship The culmination of anakin’s career: *blowing up a bigger battleship*

I think Luke was *emotionally* more like his mom.

What if Alderaan wasn't destroyed? What if the R5 unit has a good motivator? What if the Millennium Falcon get destroyed in the asteroid field?

Here’s a good one to make: “What if the Jedi secretly ordered thousands of Jedi to be cloned 20 years before Episode I?” I think the Jedi sensing the dark side beginning to engulf the galaxy was enough to convince them to make a very secret choice by getting hundreds of the most powerful Jedi knights and masters to be cloned. I think this would catch Palpatine by complete surprise as the Jedi would do the cloning in a designed facility in the depths of one of the old worlds such as Ossus or Ak-To.

This is by far my most favorite story I could probably see George Lucas make a what if exactly like this amazing work

What if Yoda fought Anakin on Mustafar? Does Yoda really have the high ground? 🤣

I prefer this version of the Original Trilogy to the Canon version! Great job as always, PPSW!😄

Vader: "That just sounds like slavery with extra steps."

Wow, you are really really good at this bro. Honestly very impressive!

Talk about an extreme poker face that Vader has in this story, I love it

"What if" Sabine Wren discovered that she was force-sensitive at the same time Ezra did in the SW: Rebels series.

Now that was an interesting and well done video! I really liked the way the story formed. Although, a small note, is that I heard that Vader was actually really close to having his lungs fully healed in canon. He just needed another week or so in Bacta. So in your story, with him being in Bacta more, I think he could have lived without any respirators. Just a small thing.

I don't have Disney Plus so this is all very fascinating thank you very much.

“What if” videos aren’t my bag but I enjoyed this. Thank you.

Very interesting to see leia and luke swap places

What if Tarkin joined the Rebellion. Another idea, what if Mace Windu redeemed Vader.

Obiwan: Remember the time, when you underestimate the power of High Ground? Vader: Yes, you roasted me from that. Literally.

Love this story. Well written thank you for making great content. An Idea a friend and I have had is What if rey and Kylo switched roles(ie luke doesn'ttry and kill ben and Palpatine found Rey and trained her)

This was a great take. Nicely done. My only suggestion would be that Vader's guilt/trauma at having killed the children/younglings in the Jedi temple have a bigger effect on him as well as Obi-Wan's willingness to trust him, & be a bigger part of Anakin's efforts at atonement. It might even conflict with his desire to be in Luke & Leia's life, having him question why he would deserve to have them if he kept those other children from a long life. Also, i would love to see a story similar to this, but where Thrawn lives, still figures out Vader is Anakin, & they bring down the Empire together with the Alliance.

If he did join them, I would prefer the concept art of him having his burned form in Jedi style garments, with his breathing apparatus being more minimal compared to how it was in the suit.

What if R2 was a smith, with salacious crumb on his little shoulder laughing at everyone

This should be made into a What If movie, damn would be soooooo goooood.
