Just the idea of the sith dying unceremoniously to a rock fall is just hilarious. The great darkness of the galaxy, flattened like pancakes before the story begun.
tbh I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. Messing around in a highly explosive abandoned mine when the Force hates you and everything you stand for is just asking for trouble.
@@somthinorother320 Mainly because Everything was predetermined, The Force might have despised the Sith but knows that They are necessary for Anakin's story, I think It's Pretty clear at this point that Anakin's journey as The Chosen One was Predetermined, From the Son showing a Glimpse of Anakin's Future to The Force literally whisper the name "Vader" to Palpatine (Which is how He got the name), Anakin's destiny was already "written", Even in Legends The People living in The Old Republic have visions of Anakin Skywalker even though He haven't existed yet, At this point, I think The Force was just so Obsessed with Anakin
Without plot armor, there's a huge chance the Sith would have ended in a stupid way like this during the Rule of Two. From accidents to even falling in love and leaving It all behind, there are infinite ways an order of only two people could have been extinguished in such a huge and dangerous galaxy.
0:26 “And so the Sith were defeated, not by the Jedi, not by the Republic, not even by themselves, but by rocks. Yep. Just rocks. ‘Why rocks?’, you ask? I don’t know, I didn’t write the book, I’m just reading it. You’d think the secretive Force sect spending the last several CENTURIES plotting and scheming for revenge against their mortal enemies would have been a BIT more careful in their ventures, but nope. That’s how it ends: rocks.” *closes book*
This folks, is why safety rules are written in blood, mostly thanks to dumb mistakes or foolish cost cutting. Should have payed extra for that geological integrity sensor and better navigation XD
Windu: "In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you are under arrest, Chancellor." *Draws lightsaber* Palpatine: "Oh shit wait, my bad bro"
Presumed-Chancellor Dooku: "arrest and execute skywalker for killing the chancellor." Praetorian guard: "sir, that is an unlawful order. Is there an arrest warrant from a judge?" Dooku: "execute skywalker!" Praetorian guard: "sir, that is an unlawful order. I will testify before the senatorial constitutional committee for this."
I really enjoyed hearing about this version of chancellor palpatine. This is a version of palpatine that anakin seemed to believe he was. Like what if the jedi council was wrong about palpatine and it was someone else that was the sith lord kinda vibes. Thank you, great story.
I was dying when the Sith were ended by a droid taking a wrong turn in a cave. They would have lasted longer mining at night lol. It was under 40 seconds into the story and they were flattened like pancakes due to "dumb droid causes cave collapse." Also, you should do a video on "What if C3PO's memory was never erased at the end of Revenge of the Sith?"
I’d love a video on “What if Windu had a vision of Anakin cutting his hand off on his way to arrest Palatine so when Anakin tried to take of Windus hand he was prepared”
My only thing wirh this is that if Plaigeus died, Anakin wouldn't have been born, because him and Palpatine messed wirj the medichlorians which fought back by creating the chosen one
This was amazing. I’ve been a fan of your videos for a while and it’s always fun to see your interesting SW what if’s. It was also fun to see Palpatine not being a Sith Lord as Chancellor getting shown some love. This is definitely an interesting scenario and it should definitely get shown some more love. Plus I think we can all agree that this is probably one of the most interesting/unique scenarios in SW…but it’s a welcome one. Also if Palpatine wasn’t a Sith…then it would definitely be an interesting opportunity to show another side of his character and make it even more interesting. It was also nice to see Palpatine forge his own path in the most unique way getting shown some love, since he usually never gets the chance to do crazy stunts like this (at least more than usual) that much and it was a nice change of pace to see him take the initiative and definitely made us all impressed. Plus it was nice to see Palpatine get that opportunity to prevent a major event from happening…afterall it was nice to see him have a solid plan, afterall this was probably the smartest course of action he could take, so it was nice to see him come up with this plan to shift the power balance of the galaxy, since he knows that there’s still opportunity and hope in the galaxy. Also it’s always nice to see just how determined Palpatine truly is…also this was definitely something he would do. It was also nice to see Palpatine stay true to himself and who he is as a person…he may not be a Sith, but he’ll do whatever it takes to protect those he holds dear. Plus Palpatine is one of the best SW characters and it was nice to see you involve him as not a Sith in an amazing ‘what if’ story like this and show him the love and respect he deserves. Great job as always and I can’t wait to see what you do next. I do have a few ideas for some possible what if’s: 1) What if Rey was a Mandalorian…essentially what if Din Djarin found Rey and took her in as a Foundling. 2) What if Ezra was a Mandalorian…something like how both his parents were Mandalorians who left Mandalore and went to start their own lives (you could still keep most of Ezra’s backstory) and potentially make Ezra and Sabine a couple (since Disney won’t, we have too…#ezrabine4ever. 3) What if Jango Fett and/or Boba Fett Joined the Republic…I think something interesting could happen with this. 4) What if Rey, Finn and Poe went back in time to the Clone Wars…this would make the World Between Worlds even more of an important focal point and I could also see them get along well with Anakin, Ashoka, Rex and the rest of the 501st (it would be fun to see Rey, Finn and Poe join the 501st) I hope these are some amazing ideas for some potential What if’s
Well, at least Anakin survived his fight with his Commodus being Dooku, since you said you based this one loosely off of Gladiator, Palpatine being the wise kind old man he pretended to be and actually doing good for the Republic was a great twist
Because of his first name, I always think that when I hear it Palpatine is a girl. Which is ironic because before my last name was a girl’s first name. Day 198 of my list. What if; Anakin never gave into his feelings for Padme (Pentre Patrol did his version), 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?
Because of my dyslexia I had a Mfin aneurysm. Love ya Galaxy! I have a crossover idea, hope you use it soon: What if Moff Gideon hired “The Predator” to get Grogu from Mando? You have a wide range of “Predators” to choose from, as Predators can live for thousands of years due to long lifespans and cryo stasis as well. So any of the Predators from the Predator franchise (save for the one from Prey… well maybe but I dunno that one would get destroyed by Mando quickly) also we could get a cameo from a few Star Wars characters!
I was about to start crying over the death of my wife again, but then the one thing we didn’t have in common, SW, always provides this 47 yr old a calming presence. I just wish I had kids to pass on mi knowledge. I was a F’boy who married well. Now middle-aged, fit, but completely alone nerd. When a legit 9 loves you for you, there are not many goals left.
Way back in 1977, that was what George Lucas intended to do. His original concept of the Emperor was as a cunning politician who became a dictator by subverted the Republic from within rather than using force. He didn't decide to make him a Sith Lord until he started working on the second movie.
I really like this story! Though I don't care who, I can't fathom a 22 year old chancellor/president whatever. No, that's just too young. Tack on another decade. You at least have to sprout a couple grey hairs. Other than that, this might be my favorite of these you've done! So here's my take: I'd have made Dooku a Sith, had Plaguis train him after he leaves the Jedi Order shortly after Qui-gon is knighted.(I'd use a story like the one where he slaughters a bunch of mandos pointlessly) I'd have had Dooku end up as Palpatine's aid pretending to be loyal and build up all that power for Palpatine, only to frame the Jedi for his assassination - Dooku, Palpatine's longtime friend and well known and trusted ally would then be the obvious choice to takeover and use his new power to betray the Jedi. He could even argue that the Jedi were bitter that he had left them as part of his framing of them. Dooku would force them into exile from Republic Space while the Sith would nearly bloodlessly take over the galaxy.(you know, aside from Sheev) All with benevolent Elon Musk... I mean Hugo Damask supporting Palpatine and now Dooku the whole way. Part two would be 10 years later, the Jedi would have taken to helping the people of the outer rim and smaller non-republic sections of space and would have become shockingly more popular than they had been in centuries. However within the Republic-in-name-only an authoritarian Sith regime with total media control, secret police, mandatory patriotism taught in schools, pledge of allegiance constantly, would have spent years vilifying the Jedi - any of whom seen on Republic worlds would be arrested on sight - as terrorists and religious fanatics. They would paint the Jedi not as protecting the people of the out rim from criminals and pirates but instead as conquerors using their powers and money to hire mercs and bandits of their own to take over remote worlds. In reality the Jedi would be working with groups like the Antarian Rangers, local sector forces and Mandalorians sent by Satine to help in the outer Rim. The Jedi and Neutral systems would be working heavily together, albeit very very quietly and under the table. Even the Mandalorians working with the Jedi would be publicly a private military group paid for by donations from the people the Jedi were helping. The set up of controlled fake news media in the Republic-in-name-only and vilification of the Jedi and their religion would be the justification used when they declare war on the outer rim with an army of droids commanded by human clones. Part 3 would establish 6 months into the war with the totally-not-an-Empire having taken half the outer Rim in a massive blitzkrieg - the Jedi would lose a quarter of their battle-capable members and 1/3 of their non-Jedi allies.With the Not-Empire losing only a handful of fights. However during this the Jedi would be sending people like Anakin, Obi-wan, Qui-gon, and others out to sneak information and illegal, uncontrolled holonet communications systems to the people - allowing people to learn the truth little by little. At the same time, the Not-Empire-still pretending to be a Republic would tell the people it has everything under control and not to pay attention the mounts of scrapped droids and clone corpses left behind from every battle they "won". The Jedi would manage to foment a Separatist movement within the Empire by revealing to the people that all their taxes and loyalty was spent on droids used to burn the outer rim to ash - causing dozens of sectors to revolt and side with the outer Rim - this shift in power leads to a stalemate that is ended when a Jedi strike team to Courscant is able to breach the Totally-Not-Imperial-Palace and former Senate Hall and kill Dooku and Plaguis both in their sleep - thanks to a completely undetectable sleeping gas developed in the outer rim and pumped into the building, ironically, by battle droids reprogrammed by Anakin. Even the Sith need to know TO protect themselves after all. The war would end with peace talks and a new galactic constitutional convention - rather several, where the people of the galaxy would come together in a series of votes and debates to settle a new GALACTIC constitution with fair representation for all peoples. With Chief of State Amidala taking up the first term. And if anyone read my unsolicited bit of nonsense, I salute you! I just had fun typing it. lol
The galaxy would be different Suggestions: 1. Part 2 of What if Padme was a Sith Lord (Palpatine survives on exegol) 2. Part 2 of What if Anakin killed Obi Wan (as Rako Hardeen) 3. What if Anakin turned Obi Wan to the dark side 4. What if Leia time traveled to save Padme 5. Part 2 of What if Palpatine was a Jedi (would love to see his relationship with Skywalker as a padawan) 6. What if Padme and Anakin never fell in love
I remember a What If where Anakin made Obi-wan fall to the Dark Side. Despite being Palpatine's right hand, Anakin went gallivanting with his family on Naboo, leading Obi-wan to fall even deeper. He kills Padme, her sister, 3PO, R2, the infant twins, and Rex.
You know Darth Venamis would still bealive in this timeline because he was Tenebrous's secret apprentice who wasnt near the cave explosion. You could have made a more interesting story with him becoming Sith lord with Dooku or finding Palpatine or something of that sorts. I would make Venamis find the sith knowledge the other two left and him and either reviving Tenebrous somehow or taking an apprentice a decade later but instead of using the clone wars, go with a different route. Maybe anakin still gets born, maybe he doesnt, maybe he becomes the apprentice or perhaps he finds Maul or Savage. You could make up something longer and interesting. I'd like to see that video. Or what if plageuis dies and Tenebrous survived the explosion.
I'd like to see one of these that follows the original plot idea where Palpatine is not force sensitive but he is still an ambitious power hungry guy who becomes Emperor but later ends up as a figurehead with no real power to his own military.
Neither Marcus Aurelius nor Supreme chancellor Palpatine had the good sense to tell their plans to others before delivering the bad news to the villains who coveted their power.
Honestly gotta say this what if is a 5 out of 10. I like where it went with palpatine but all the dooku stuff just feels so inorganic and just not like what dooku would do. He didn't have any defining moments to be cemented in the dark side and the republic was healing.
Qui Gon: This kid is the chosen one. Yoda: Nonsense. A droid, the chosen one was. Destroyed the Sith by dropping a cave roof on them it did. Qui Gon: Can I keep him as a pet? Yoda: Sure.
What if Luke had his lightsaber with him on the Death Star? I think they would have been able to get out of the trash compactor real quick by Luke cutting the door open.
What if Tarkin escaped the Death Star before its explosion and survived? What if Palpatine was onboard the first Death Star and died when it exploded? What if Bail Organa wasn't on Alderaan and survived when it was destroyed?
What if yoda, obi-wan and anakin skywalker traveled to ahch-to for skywalker's jedi training. Then stayed there until skywalker was 16 years old before returning to the jedi temple.
If the sith died at that time then Skywalker would've never been born as he was created by the force as a direct response to plagus messing around with sith alchemy.
Should've had Plagueis and Tenebrous killing each other, because at least they were established characters that deserved a respectable send off, and had the Acolyte pretenders killed in the mines.
Stories like this are like a kind of self-motivation prescription. Take evil out of the equation, and see how much GOOD there can be. What in the original story would have led to Palpitine's corruption instead was removed, and so he wasn't twisted into something vile. How many people do we encounter in our lives that we either influence in some way, or they influence us? With that in mind, why would I WANT to do bad things?
Definitely gave me gladiator vibes. Makes sense considering the sequel came out today. Edit: Ah, he mentioned that at the end of the video. I typed this before finishing it.
What if the yuuzhan vong invaded during the clone wars. Also got two other ideas What if pius dea saw a resurgence during the clone wars and What if HK47 was used as the basis for a new generation of Battle Droids
What if Mace Windu left the Jedi Order instead of Count Dooku? What if Palpatine created the Imperial Knights as a light side counterbalance to the Inquisitors personally loyal to him? What if Illum bestowed a naturally red kyber crystal on Anakin? How would the Jedi react? What if Palpatine saved Shmi Skywalker as a way to bind Anakin even closer to him? What if General Grevious was made of beskar? What if Count Dooku ordered an unaltered clone of himself to be his apprentice and heir? What if the Republic lost the First Battle of Geonosis? What if Shaak Ti trained Anakin Skywalker? What if Anakin was not the Chosen One as the Jedi believed but was instead destined to be the Sith'ari? Just a few what-if ideas...
Eh tu, Dooku? Ending was a bit rushed. I don't think Anakin would have had such an easy time rising to power, with a murder investigation hanging over his head. At least he might have to wait till next term before running for office.
It gave me a "Gladiator" vibe a bit... Dooku killing Palpatine like Commodus killed Marcus Aurelius beacuse the power was about to be given to someone "inferior" (Anakin/Maximus)
Just the idea of the sith dying unceremoniously to a rock fall is just hilarious. The great darkness of the galaxy, flattened like pancakes before the story begun.

Life..... Finds a way
I was thinking something along these lines too
That's not confirmed anywhere in main canon, it was always speculation, maybe it was in a book but it doesn't mean it is the only possibility.
Maybe this has changed in Disney canon, idk, I don't watch Disney SW. In main canom though it was just a theory.
What if palpatine really cared about dooku and didnt let Aniken kill dooku in revenge of the sith

3) What if Jango Fett and/or Boba Fett Joined the Republic…I think something interesting could happen with this.
4) What if Rey, Finn and Poe went back in time to the Clone Wars…this would make the World Between Worlds even more of an important focal point and I could also see them get along well with Anakin, Ashoka, Rex and the rest of the 501st (it would be fun to see Rey, Finn and Poe join the 501st)
I hope these are some amazing ideas for some potential What if’s
Well, at least Anakin survived his fight with his Commodus being Dooku, since you said you based this one loosely off of Gladiator, Palpatine being the wise kind old man he pretended to be and actually doing good for the Republic was a great twist
I love the ones when palpatine is the good guy
i almost can feel your inspiration, Palpatine as Marc Aurele, Anakin as Maximus, Dooku as Comodus
Feels like a gladiator story like it because of the release of the second gladiator film❤ fun keep up the good work I love watching your videos

Even the Sith need to know TO protect themselves after all.
The war would end with peace talks and a new galactic constitutional convention - rather several, where the people of the galaxy would come together in a series of votes and debates to settle a new GALACTIC constitution with fair representation for all peoples. With Chief of State Amidala taking up the first term.
And if anyone read my unsolicited bit of nonsense, I salute you! I just had fun typing it. lol
I absolutely love this alternative story ☺️🤩
@@havco501st7
18:35 force lightning? you telling me he has been a sith for 2 minutes and knows how to do sith skills?
The two most powerful Sith in history killed by a rockslide 😂 They put Palp's death to shame.
What if Palpatine and Darth Sidious were 2 different people
I literally just said, "why hasn't anyone made this story?" As if it was guided by the force itself, the story is here.
Can you do a what if cals crew survived in jedi survivor
Palpatine was a huge Podrace fan so it makes sence
Video idea! What if palpatine was a jedi?
The galaxy would be different
Suggestions:
1. Part 2 of What if Padme was a Sith Lord (Palpatine survives on exegol)
2. Part 2 of What if Anakin killed Obi Wan (as Rako Hardeen)
3. What if Anakin turned Obi Wan to the dark side
4. What if Leia time traveled to save Padme
5. Part 2 of What if Palpatine was a Jedi (would love to see his relationship with Skywalker as a padawan)
6. What if Padme and Anakin never fell in love
I remember a What If where Anakin made Obi-wan fall to the Dark Side. Despite being Palpatine's right hand, Anakin went gallivanting with his family on Naboo, leading Obi-wan to fall even deeper. He kills Padme, her sister, 3PO, R2, the infant twins, and Rex.
That's the shev palpatine i know from my world
If Palpatine was a Jedi dark side is probably cooked.
Great story mate.
I got a Crack If for ya. What if Darth Sidious and Palpatine were Identical twins separated at birth
What if Yoda exiled to Tatooine to train Luke and Obi-Wan exiled to Dagobah to train Leia?
You know Darth Venamis would still bealive in this timeline because he was Tenebrous's secret apprentice who wasnt near the cave explosion. You could have made a more interesting story with him becoming Sith lord with Dooku or finding Palpatine or something of that sorts.
I would make Venamis find the sith knowledge the other two left and him and either reviving Tenebrous somehow or taking an apprentice a decade later but instead of using the clone wars, go with a different route. Maybe anakin still gets born, maybe he doesnt, maybe he becomes the apprentice or perhaps he finds Maul or Savage. You could make up something longer and interesting. I'd like to see that video.
Or what if plageuis dies and Tenebrous survived the explosion.
I'd like to see one of these that follows the original plot idea where Palpatine is not force sensitive but he is still an ambitious power hungry guy who becomes Emperor but later ends up as a figurehead with no real power to his own military.
This one was so good
What if Mace Windu met Caleb Dume and continued his training after Order 66?
Neither Marcus Aurelius nor Supreme chancellor Palpatine had the good sense to tell their plans to others before delivering the bad news to the villains who coveted their power.
IM A SIDIUS.
ONLY HERE TO SEE THE POTENTIALS.
31 seconds ago is criminal
What if Ventress joins the rebels and assassinate the Sith Inquisitors.
The Pic of Timothee Chalemet with red hair is ironically a book accurate Paul Atredies
Can't see Dooku undermining palpatine in this situation, smh
I think he forgot that Plagues was the reason Anakin was born
Honestly, I can’t tell if I like Pente’s or your version more.
Honestly gotta say this what if is a 5 out of 10. I like where it went with palpatine but all the dooku stuff just feels so inorganic and just not like what dooku would do. He didn't have any defining moments to be cemented in the dark side and the republic was healing.
Damn then I guess Maul would be a powerful nightbrother leader or something using magic then if Sideous never finds him huh?😂
Question, what is the background music you use for these videos
I really love this idea
Qui Gon: This kid is the chosen one.
Yoda: Nonsense. A droid, the chosen one was. Destroyed the Sith by dropping a cave roof on them it did.
Qui Gon: Can I keep him as a pet?
Yoda: Sure.
so he was back up against the wall yet he flipped backwards?
interesting strategy
What if all clone commandos, and all other clone special forces, removed their inhibitor chips, or didn’t receive Order 66.
I would like to see a story where palpatine was not a sith lord, but still evil trying to become emperor for selfish reasons
What if Luke had his lightsaber with him on the Death Star? I think they would have been able to get out of the trash compactor real quick by Luke cutting the door open.
what if the Separatists captured the zillo breast and used it as a weapon
I want to laugh so hard at this. But, alas, I am currently in public and do not want to make a scene at the hilarious end of the sith.
This is Pretty Interesting 👌
What if Santa claus was born Force-sensitive and became a jedi?
What if Tarkin escaped the Death Star before its explosion and survived?
What if Palpatine was onboard the first Death Star and died when it exploded?
What if Bail Organa wasn't on Alderaan and survived when it was destroyed?
What if yoda, obi-wan and anakin skywalker traveled to ahch-to for skywalker's jedi training. Then stayed there until skywalker was 16 years old before returning to the jedi temple.
What if Anakin and Obiwan switched bodys?
An excellent what if!
Palaptine did great things. Unfortunately, the jedi didn't see it like that.
If the sith died at that time then Skywalker would've never been born as he was created by the force as a direct response to plagus messing around with sith alchemy.
Somebody watched gladiator before watching this🤣
Should've had Plagueis and Tenebrous killing each other, because at least they were established characters that deserved a respectable send off, and had the Acolyte pretenders killed in the mines.
Stories like this are like a kind of self-motivation prescription. Take evil out of the equation, and see how much GOOD there can be. What in the original story would have led to Palpitine's corruption instead was removed, and so he wasn't twisted into something vile. How many people do we encounter in our lives that we either influence in some way, or they influence us? With that in mind, why would I WANT to do bad things?
Definitely gave me gladiator vibes. Makes sense considering the sequel came out today.
Edit: Ah, he mentioned that at the end of the video. I typed this before finishing it.
The Only Other Time Where There Was a Jedi As Chancellor Was In The Age Of The Old Republic And The Bloodline Of Bastilla Shan And Revan
What if events rolled out as they do in ROTS but Palpatine somehow, wasn’t the Sith Lord and just incredibly suspicious
Video idea:what if plagueis was not a force sensitive(but still corrupt)
what if anakin was Reborn as sayan in dragon ball After Return of the Jedi
What if the yuuzhan vong invaded during the clone wars.
Also got two other ideas
What if pius dea saw a resurgence during the clone wars and
What if HK47 was used as the basis for a new generation of Battle Droids
How about some checks & balances so it doesn't matter who's the chancellor?
Got a request: What if palpatine turned to the light before killing plageus.
What if Mace Windu left the Jedi Order instead of Count Dooku?
What if Palpatine created the Imperial Knights as a light side counterbalance to the Inquisitors personally loyal to him?
What if Illum bestowed a naturally red kyber crystal on Anakin? How would the Jedi react?
What if Palpatine saved Shmi Skywalker as a way to bind Anakin even closer to him?
What if General Grevious was made of beskar?
What if Count Dooku ordered an unaltered clone of himself to be his apprentice and heir?
What if the Republic lost the First Battle of Geonosis?
What if Shaak Ti trained Anakin Skywalker?
What if Anakin was not the Chosen One as the Jedi believed but was instead destined to be the Sith'ari?
Just a few what-if ideas...
Eh tu, Dooku?
Ending was a bit rushed. I don't think Anakin would have had such an easy time rising to power, with a murder investigation hanging over his head. At least he might have to wait till next term before running for office.
Mid way through felt inspired by Gladiator how Comodus killed Marcus Areilius
20:40 I KNEW IT
What if during the Clone Wars Anakin 501 Legion gets stuck in a hyperlane anomaly and reappear in the middle of the Galactic Empire
What if Palpatine was a grey jedi.
Did you watch Gladiator recently? 🤔
Cheers from France! 🍻
My mom love ls that show especially rhe song We Are Free from Enya
1. What if Rey turned Palpatine to the light on Exagol?
2. What if Jar Jar joined the rebellion?
Palpatine may not be a Sith but I don't see him being anything but a tyrant.
What If The Black Arms from Shadow the Hedgehog were in Star Wars and made their move during the Clone Wars as a Third-party?
It gave me a "Gladiator" vibe a bit... Dooku killing Palpatine like Commodus killed Marcus Aurelius beacuse the power was about to be given to someone "inferior" (Anakin/Maximus)
What if padme submitted a plea to the courts
