What if Anakin Skywalker Trained Ahsoka AND Starkiller
Firelight flickers off the jagged remains of ruined buildings, casting long, shifting shadows. Smoke coils through the air, thick and suffocating. The boy runs. His breath burns in his throat, his heart pounding an erratic rhythm against his ribs. His legs ache, but he forces himself forward. Behind him, something hunts. He doesn’t know what it is. He doesn’t want to know. He only knows what it has done. The memory burns as vividly as the flames consuming the settlement. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/W1mLTMwn49g ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Ahsoka's Trial Led to a Jedi Civil War
Ahsoka stares at the Padawan braid in her master's hand. She sees his smiling face as he offers it to her. Mace: We understand that the Force works in mysterious ways, and because of this trial, you have become a greater Jedi than you would have otherwise. Yoda: Back into the Order you may come. Anakin: They're asking you back, Ahsoka. I'm asking you back. Ahsoka looks at the braid that she’s worn on her head for almost three years now. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/l0BuSpUJBLY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Mace Windu TRUSTED Anakin and Arrested Palpatine
Palpatine closes his eyes and gasps as Mace raises his lightsaber. But then after a moment, the final blow does not come. When he opens his eyes he finds Mace glaring down at him, before grabbing the chancellor by his collar and shoving him to the ground, Mace: Very well, he lives. But know this…whatever happens, is on your head. Palpatine blinks, looking over at Mace who roughly leads him away. Things didn't go how Palpatine had planned. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/Pu5_eSVPglA ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Anakin and Obi-Wan Found Palpatine ALREADY DEAD
Anakin and Obi-Wan sprint through the Halls of the Invisible Hand, lightsabers ready for the battle to come. R2 has given them a good idea of where the prisoner is thanks to accessing the ship's logs. However, the strange thing is neither of them can sense him. Once they arrive at the detention block, it becomes clear as to why. The chancellor is dead. He lays slumped over his chair, a burning hole right through his heart where a lightsaber impaled him. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/wTxLPD1Pi5I ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if The Father from Mortis Trained Anakin Skywalker
Father: You must see it now. I am dying and you must replace me. Anakin: Replace you? I can’t stay here. Father: But this is yours. It has been foretold. The Chosen One will remain to keep my children in balance. Anakin: No. Father: I cannot force you to do this. The choice must be yours. But to bring balance to the Force, you must first bring balance here. Anakin looks away from him, his mind still racing after everything that happened. A few minutes ago he didn’t even know he was chosen. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/ShZn1rtc_tU ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Anakin’s Nightmares Were About Obi Wan, NOT Padme
Anakin climbs into bed and moves close to Padme as he falls asleep, smiling to himself. The battle finally ended and he was given some much-needed downtime with his wife. More importantly, he’s now expecting a child. While part of him is worried about her health, she assures him there isn’t much to fear. She is a senator and has access to the best medical care in the galaxy. But as he sleeps, darkness tugs at his dreams. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/Gzg8kzSg_5A ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What If Anakin, Ahsoka, and the 501st Went Rogue Before Order 66
Rex: Ahsoka, we need to talk. Ahsoka looks at the clone commander, frowning at the grim expression on his face. This sounded serious. She excuses himself from her meeting with Obi-Wan as she gives her report and heads out with him. Ahsoka: What is it, Rex? Rex: I don’t know if it's a good time to tell you, but something has been bothering me. With all this talk of Sith Lords and hidden plans, I thought it might be best to tell you about something Fives learned a while ago. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/gfQ8LSWLqRE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What If The Force Revived Dooku and Sent Him Back to Episode I
Dooku wakes up to the sound of birds chirping and children laughing. His eyes immediately narrow suspiciously as he rises to his feet. To his surprise, his body moves with a vigor he had not felt in years. He begins to rise and wipe the sweat from his brow. And then something feels off he blinked and stared at his hands, which are attached to his body once again. Dooku’s body shakes as his mind races. Something is not adding up, and he tries to make sense of it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/5rCEK5dt2Zg ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Anakin was TRAINED by Yoda, Not Obi-Wan?
Even from his childhood, Anakin showed signs of being the chosen one. It was why Jedi like Qui-Gon-Jin took such an interest in him. But while the evidence was there, the Jedi failed to take the right action and it took Qui-Gon dying before they allowed Anakin to join the order. Even then, they placed Anakin under the watch of Obi-Wan, an inexperienced Jedi instead of someone more accomplished. This raises the question, of what would have happened if Yoda took the responsibility for himself. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/NUjWfi4MKwg ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Anakin Convinced Obi-Wan the Jedi Were Evil on Mustafar
Anakin’s eyes widen as he spots Obi-Wan descending Padme’s ship. A spark of betrayal crosses his face, followed by anger as his mind thinks of all the possibilities. He turns to Padme and feels the Force reaching out and urging him to lash out and strike them. But as he stares at their faces, his anger fades and he instantly feels ashamed. Padme was his wife and the mother of his kids. The kids she’s carrying right now. How could he possibly hurt her? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/14P6TLkO2Os ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Palpatine Properly Repaired Darth Vader
The clones soon come back with the transport unit. Palpatine has him loaded up and brought back to his ship. But just what he is to do with his young apprentice is another matter. This was a failure, and there is no denying that. And in the Sith, failure is normally only punishable by death. He considers leaving him here to die or perhaps constructing a suit to punish him, forcing him to live with his weakness for the rest of his life. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/W3V_Xp4uZok ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Mace Windu Consulted Obi-Wan Before Confronting Palpatine
Mace: “Stay here. If what you’ve told me is true, the Jedi must act carefully. We cannot afford a single mistake.” Anakin: “He’s manipulating everything! If we wait…” Mace: “If we wait… we learn. Yes. If we rush, we fall into his trap. And that is precisely what Sidious expects.” The words press against Anakin’s impatience, testing his restraint. He shifts on his feet, pacing like a caged predator. His heart pounds in rhythm with visions of Padmé’s suffering, of fire and helplessness. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/DnYxQIGxh8A ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Obi-Wan Died INSTEAD of Qui-Gon
Qui-Gon stares at the small casket as a laser begins incinerating the contents. Although it is part of Jedi tradition, he cannot help but feel a wrongness in the action. Obi-Wan should be buried in nature surrounded by trees and flowers. He looks around at the rest of the hooded Jedi Council/ They make for a solemn sight and while he appreciates the respect they show, doubts creep into his mind. They were a grim lot and far too rigid. Hardly the place for someone like Anakin to be raised. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/l9zYHMRTKEI ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if The Jedi REFUSED To Join The Clone Wars
The Senate chamber is restless. Senators fill the floor, voices rising in arguments over the Separatist crisis. The battle on Geonosis has left no doubt: the Republic is at war. Chancellor Palpatine stands at his podium, his calm expression masking the urgency of the moment. Palpatine: “Delegates of the Republic, the Separatists will not relent. They march upon us with droid armies without conscience, without mercy. But we are not defenseless. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/XVPJ6h1jKxM ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Anakin Skywalker Told Yoda WHY He Killed Dooku
In the sterile halls of the Jedi Temple, Anakin faces the Council with a report that should be routine. The rescue was successful. The Chancellor is safe. The Separatist flagship is destroyed. Victory across the board. But nothing feels routine. Obi-Wan sits beside him, medical wrappings still visible beneath his robes, but alert and focused. Master Windu occupies his usual position, stern and evaluating. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/ALmpc5_kNUo ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if The Force Revived Revan and Sent Him to Episode 1
The galaxy stirs uneasily. Corruption spreads through the Senate. The Trade Federation tightens its grip. In secret, Darth Sidious moves with patience and precision, laying the foundations for his rise. In the shadows beneath Coruscant, where light barely touches and the hum of machinery drowns out thought, a man awakens. He gasps for air as if surfacing from a thousand-year sleep. His body is strong, but his mind trembles with fractured memories. His hands shake. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/1i1vXI2mlrI ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Yoda Was Sent To Rescue Palpatine
The battle for Coruscant rages beyond the viewport, streaks of turbolaser fire illuminating the darkness. Inside the towering bridge of the Invisible Hand, Count Dooku stands and observes it. At his side, bound in durasteel restraints, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine feigns helplessness. But they both know the time for acting is almost over. The Jedi are, no doubt, sending a rescue party to free him. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/0xE_PmWqqu0 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Anakin, Ahsoka, & Obi-Wan returned from Mortis during Order 66
Anakin: How long were we gone… Anakin’s voice trails off as he stares at the viewport. He sees nothing but the wreckage of Republic and CIS ships everywhere. A battle must have taken place here and a big one at that. His heart clenches as he thinks of the people below including Padme. The only comfort is that some Republic ships are patrolling the planet, showing that at least the Republic still controls the planet. One of the ships hails them and orders them to identify themselves. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/V24H5t_fLzk ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Palpatine Defeated Mace Windu Before Anakin Arrived
Mace watches as his Jedi companions fall around him and grips his lightsaber tightly. Palpatine smiles and rushes at him, his lightsaber flashing in quick, powerful bursts that slash at him. With nothing left to hide, Palpatine can unleash his full fury upon the Jedi. The powers of the dark side flow through him, practically oozing from his body. The darkness is nearly overwhelming, and Mace realizes just how his comrades fell. The power is like nothing they have ever encountered. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/ZxKPSctpi0E ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if Anakin Skywalker Reached His Full Potential on Mustafar
The air on Mustafar is a furnace. Rivers of fire boil and roar, spitting sparks into the sky as if the planet itself mirrors the fury of two men locked in combat. Obi-Wan and Anakin move like shadows of the same flame, one measured, controlled; the other wild, unstoppable. Their sabers clash again and again, sparks scattering across the black rock. Obi-Wan strains, his breath ragged. Every stroke he parries feels heavier than the last. Anakin’s blows come down like thunder. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/p_5HzHEVBVo ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
