Sidious: "Go to the Mustafar system-"
Anakin: "I don't like lava. It is hot and bright, and it burns everywhere."

"I will help you save Padme, Anakin! Join me!"
"Wait a sec, you tried to to assassinate Padme in the second film, didn't ya?!"

Anakin gets his wife kids and Ahsoka as well as an Empire all for exercising an extra two braincells :3

,,Anakin! Only i can save you from sudden burns! Join me and your skin shall remain intact"

wow so in a sense Anakin saves everyone including Palpatine. I like this.

What if Obi-Wan never taught Anakin the Younglings Massacre Moves?

Literally the perfect outcome.

Palpatine gets to research the force in peace.

Anakin has his family and can rid slavery and the bad of the galaxy.

The Jedi survive to learn from their mistakes and better themselves.

I'd love to see mace Windu's face when he gets deported to Mandalore.

An unusual positive outcome. One would think Palpatine being forced to choose between an apprentice and the death of the entire jedi order he would not compromise and just either force Anakin under his heel, or kill him.

What if Revan wasn't found in stasis until the first year of the clone wars? That would mean that Revan in his prime would be alive and well, and Darth Vitiate's spirit would still be dormant since Revan didn't awake his spirit at Yavin.

What if Emperor Palprotein was super jacked?

I just imagine Padme getting mad and telling Anakin to blow up the Death Star.

"NO ANI NOW!"

What if when Anakin went to ILUM to get his first kyber crystal he found the first NATURAL RED crystal.

What if JarJar had a kultz attack and knocked over the vase revealing Palpatine's hidden lightsaber.

What if due to childhood trauma Palpatine developed a split personality thus Palpatine DIDN'T KNOW he was Sidious.

What if while tinkering with machines Anakin accidentally created a force sensitive droid.

I like how Palpatine went all sith archivists in this episode.

Basically a happy ending from all sides! Palpatine studies the Force while getting rid of the Jedi, Anakin doesn't burn and lives a happy life with Padme, and the Jedi can hopefully try to better themselves.

this is a weird as hell timeline. I loved it.

What if Anakin hired HK-47 and his army of assassin droids for the Clone Wars?

What if Shimi had visions of Darth Vader?

What if Dooku had visions of the rise of the Empire?

I have a hilarious idea for a what-if. What if Yoda and Palpatine fell in love? Lol 😂

What if a second group of Sith, who were founded from a different lineage than Darth Bane's Order of the Sith Lords (such as being descendant from Revan's Empire/the Triumvirate or Vitiate's Reconstituted Empire), were discovered by Palpatine to also be secretly manipulating the galaxy as he was at the height of the Clone Wars?
