    • @zacharyfett2491
      @zacharyfett2491 5 лет назад +120

      APM Sort of. Luke’s Force essence only manifested itself after Obi-Wan (Ben) awoke it in him. Leia had no such teacher/mentor; She would have no idea that she was Force sensitive let alone one of the most powerful Force users in the entire galaxy. Thus, Vader May have felt that she was a gifted orator and maybe the Force helps her with that but a Force user? His daughter? No, he’d never sense that until after Leia was by Luke that she was indeed a powerful Force user. Remember just before he tells her, she says that Luke has a power that she could never have and never understand. And then immediately after, it’s like her eyes are opened.

      @Fsih Noguld I’m aware, I was equally as blonde if not MORE than the kid in the movie and my hair is the same shade as Hayden’s in ROTS. If I go in the light you can still see the blondness, however it’s very apparent depending on the length of my hair. The same is true for Hayden in the movie, it’s like a dark dirty blonde; most people still retain some semblance of blondness and a minority will completely lose it entirely.

Ian portrayed that perfectly in his facial expressions after their fight when the ship was going down.

    I've been following your channel for more than two years now, I think, and I admire what you do and HOW you do it, as well as your personality. You bring unity in times of strife.

      Well to be fair its not like vader gave a really appealing front for luke to be enticed by.

He could probably just sense on his own that regardless of Vader telling the truth or not, he was still deeply stewed in the dark side at that point.

    I have an idea... What if Dooku randomly killed Palpatine on Coruscant? One moment, he is walking slightly behind his master, lightsaber in his pocket, and the next moment the lightsaber ignites? Dooku was a master at hiding his mind, and this would have been so very spontaneous that I doubt Sidious would have foreseen it. What would happen then?

      Highly likely Sidious would have tortured him to death. He tortured most people involved with making the Death Star and even brought some back to life in clone bodies just to kill them again. He also tortured Vader and mentioned to him that he’s being punished more because Tarkin etc. aren’t alive to be tortured and said Tarkin was lucky to have died on the Death Star.

      MrKevin486 The droids would’ve shot down Anakin as he crashed on the separatists station, Qui Gon would feel Anakin’s life force suddenly stop, just as Palpatine, the events of ep 1 would play out the same, however during ep 2 Padme would die from Jango who would lay low skipping the battle of Geonosis and surviving, Mace Windu would join Obi Wan to fight Count Dooku killing him. In ep 3 a panicking Palpatine now lost his apprentice and Anakin, would continue to lay low as the Chancellor until he is given full power over the senate, the separatists would lose the war, Grievous would die just as he did, however Palpatine waits to expand the clone army, and sends a clone to activate a distress beacon for all Jedi to return to the temple, now with his army he activated order 66 and every clone arrives on the temple grounds out numbering the Jedi by thousands. They start mowing them down along with Palpatine dueling against Yoda and Windu at the same time, just then the republic ship arrives and uses its cannons to fire at the temple, Palpatine uses this to escape his duel as the clones kill all the Jedi except for Ki Adi Mundi, Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, Obi Wan, Mace Windu and Shaak Ti. They would form a line defending who ever is left alive, soon they die one by one as Yoda is the last alive, he makes one final effort he breaks the chains that held him back and kills hundreds of Clones as more and more are needed, eventually Yoda is killed by the republic bombers who bomb the temple. Palpatine is still handsome as ever, forms his new empire and begins to search for a new apprentice. The Jedi are eliminated.
      SPOILER FOR EP 9
      Rey is born, Palpatine tracks her down offering her to become the empress as the Resistance is destroyed, the galaxy is gripped with an iron fist, as planets who disobey the new empress REY PALPATINE are destroyed by the Death Star, dozens of Death Stars roam the galaxy as millions of star destroyers protect it, and no one to stop the new SITH EMPIRE

      Maybe there is a chance Vader could have lived on as a newly redeemed anakin skywalker. But he’d have to answer for vaders crimes so he’d either be executed or put in the highest security prison the galaxy had ever seen for the rest of his life
