Welcome to Star Wars What If! An offshoot of r/StarWarsSpeculation (where we primarily speculate on the future and what's to come), this sub serves as a place to speculate on the past and how things might've been had they gone differently. At least once in your Star Wars-infused life, you've thought "What if Vader killed Kenobi?" or "What if Yoda showed up to confront Palpatine?". This is the subreddit to hash all that out in.

The Story would start with Luke doing a mediation and the Father and his two children appearing before him. They would ask Luke to bring as many if not all the members of his Jedi Order to Lothal and have them all on the same starship. The father told Luke that the Galaxy was to face a threat of Darkness that his order wouldn't survive and that there was zero chance balance would be restored to this galaxy if he didn't do what was asked. The Father told Luke that Darth Vitiate the greatest Sith the Galaxy ever faced was returning with a Sith Empire so strong that his new dark council was full of Sith Lord's as strong as some of the other greatest Sith in his history but all unknown to this galaxy. His invasion fleet was also stronger than the entire New Republic Fleet by 20 times and a army larger that it by the same number. Luke gathered his order as many as possible as virtually every major member of his entire order. This is Luke's order pre Yuzon Vong invasion. Basically, this invasion was happening instead of the Vong. Once Luke arrived the Father told him his total mission prevent the fall of the republic, prevent order 66 arrest Palpatine and prepare the galaxy for an invasion that will be speed up 10 years after the Battle of Coruscant. His entire order would have to stay in that time and correct the other Jedi orders mistakes on attachments.
A Star Wars what if video made to address this very question. Have a watch and let me know what you think š
Iām so curious what things would be like if Obi Wan became disillusioned with the Jedi due to his feelings for Satine. I wonder how the story would play out differentlyā¦
What if Starkiller trained Inquisitors the same way Vader did? Think about it, look at how Starkiller was with Proxy and Juno. Look at how Starkiller was with Luke. Look at how Starkiller was against Kenobi. Look at how Starkiller was against Maul, when Proxy turned into maul. How do you think it'd be like if Starkiller actually trained inquisitors?
Hey everyone! Iām a new YouTuber writing Star Wars āwhat ifsā and posting them on YouTube. I just posted my first one last night and Iām looking for some actual feedback. Iām not asking for likes or subscribes, Iām just asking how to improve and to make my videos/story better. The one I posted last night is the title of this post. If anyone wants to watch it and give some helpful tips how to improve, that would be appreciated. Please PM me for the link.
The clones are famous for very good reasons, and infamous for others
One of which is their unfortunate accelerated aging that although has them deployment ready in a number of years would also have them not live to see past 50. So Iāve heard.
But what if thatās changed? What if the clones after reaching their maturity, have their age decelerated to have them live longer lives.
Iām more curious as to how that would look from the start of their creation, but other points in Star Wars history can be looked on as well. As to how long they would live, I like to exaggerate and say at least over 200 years but if you want to add a better estimate like a normal human life span, or any other number of years, that is completely fine.
Just as the title asks. What if Anakin managed to get The Bad Batch to go to Mandalore with Ahsoka to capture Maul? How would this effect the series? Would they still be able to resist order 66? Would Crosshair have killed Ahsoka/Rex?
I wish there was a Star Wars Infinities comic where if at least Cassian and Jyn survived the battle of Scariff, were the ones to deliver the Death Star Plans and Leia's message somehow to Luke personally, and be the ones arguing against Han and Chewie at the cantina with Luke and Obi Wan; basically have Cassian and Jyn replace C3PO and R2D2 during the events of New Hope with them being in character the whole time, how much do they drastically change events?
Got a curious question for all the Star Wars fans here. I've already got my own theories for the hypotheticals I'm about to ask you lot but I wanted to hear what you lot theorise. Here are my hypothetical questions:
& 4) What if Anakin turned into Darth Vader via being tortured?
Say in this scenario instead of asking the republic for help she would instead go to Dooku and the separatist for help granted both sides who previously worked together and it in bad terms. Although to be fair that was mostly on Pre Vizslaās fault as he probably was shouting Dooku for what happened after the event of the first Mandalorian arc in the Clone Wars.
Which result of him getting a scar that we see later on in the clone wars series? As I stated before about his character Pre Vizsla is good when he is playing politics but a god awful military commander as we see in a friend in need clearly impulsive without foresight?
How would the rest of Mandalorian history within this timeline as instead of the Republic overthrowing Maul it would be the CIS who accepted the request from Bo-Katan. The good thing for the CIS when liberating mandalore from maul is that it would be used as good propaganda to paint themselves in a good light as the government against the corrupt republic. Also would the Great Purge of Mandalore happened in this timeline or not?
Like seriously in which era would the jedi discovered earth and made contact with us in any of these eras how would we react and how would they interact?
So according to the novelization of Episode IX, the Derriphan (the Xyston class that pointlessly destroyed Kijimi) returns to Exegol and descends into the atmosphere that makes you lose shields and forget which way is up for some reason just in time to be conveniently destroyed next to all the other Sith Eternal ships in the final battle. I think this is a bit of a lost opportunity, so... what if the Derriphan instead went somewhere else, or returned to Exegol after everyone had left and found the devastation. They would be the last survivors of the Final Order, so what would they do? What would follow from this change?
What ifā¦ Basically Iām wondering what would happen if Anakin focused less on lightsaber combat, and more on improving his Force powers? Improving and refining and turning his already absurd raw Force power into something that could potentially rip planets in two.
During the Mustafar fight, Obi-Wan could match Anakinās force push, and some people speculate that this was a matter of Raw power vs Refined power.
Vader still had Significant power after being chopped to pieces and losing 60/70% of his Midi-Chlorians. If Anakin completely mastered his control over the force like Yoda or Sideous, would he even need a lightsaber? No one should be able to even touch him or come near him, right? Ripping people to shreds with just a thought, maybe even the ability to fly by telekinetically controlling himself with the force.
Maybe even spacefaring, using the force to fly, and creating air bubbles filled with air.
But these are just my own wild theories. What does anyone else think could or would happen, if Anakin mastered his control over the force?
Like what if Obi Wan had gotten to Utapau a minute earlier and heard that the Separatist leaders were going to Mustafar and went straight there instead of going to Pame after putting it together that Palpatine was sending Anakin to kill the Separatists when he said āgo bring peaceā.
What if the Grey aliens with their flying saucer from another galaxy came to the galaxy far far away and abducted some lifeforms for brutal experiments but then got in contact with a star destroyer I'm making a story about this and the Star Destroyer engaged the saucer but the weaponry is ineffective except the Tractor beam till the saucers shields are down and TIE fighters dameged it? Any advice for a story like that or what would happen if the Grey aliens came tot the galaxy and even made contact with the jedi even in the old republic era and clone wars?
So for this Palpatine must have begun his cloning experiments earlier. let's said that Dathan is born before the invasion of Naboo so by the end of the empire he would in his late teens and that Miramir has the same age. Then Rey could be born before the end of the first decade of the Empire. The life of Dathan and Miramir would go on the same way till they leave Rey cause the hunting of Palpatine. So if Yoda sense Rey would he come out of the exile to train her? Would he have more hope on her than on Luke and Leia? Would her training with Yoda would make her a match for Vader and Palpatine?

Do you think Vader is redeemed because he killed Palpatine and saved his son?
Does the rest of the galaxy forgive him for his atrocities?
I donāt know if I believe that he is redeemed. Anakin is one of my favorite characters in the prequels and clone wars, but I just canāt get over the things that he did and the oppression that he caused.
I think that he is right with the force and it makes sense that he is a force ghost in the end of the movie. Much like Christianity believes that someone can be redeemed on their deathbed.
If he does survive, I think it would play out that Luke and Leia would disagree on what to do with him.
I think Leia would want him to go on trial and have justice for his crimes. She does not have the same emotional connection to him that Luke does, and had been in the fight against the empire much longer than Luke. Also Alderaan, while not Vaders direct fault, definitely at least partly lies on his shoulders. I donāt think that is forgivable to Leia.
Luke I think would land on the side of the Force and would see him as redeemed. I think that Luke would encourage Leia to let Anakin go into exile somewhere and live out the rest of his days on a planet in tune with the force.
Iām not sure which one would prevail, I would say the public pressure would be wanting justice and siding with Leia. If Luke gets his way, I think they would have to fake his death.
I know the galaxy does not know Vader is Anakin, but I think that it gets figured out pretty quickly if he survives and Iām not sure Leia would keep it a secret anyway.
Lukeā¦you must go to the Dagobah systemā¦take Leia with youā¦.there you will learn from Yodaā¦
Leia was on Hoth with Luke. Instead of the awkward romance, Luke could have told her of his vision. Would they have left before the battle of Hoth? Would Han still have landed on Bespin? Would Cloud City be different without her? Would Yoda dare explain to them the relationship with the two of them and Vader? It was a huge fumble to not better prepare Luke for that inevitable conversation when Vader finds him. Would Vader have a harder time fighting and injuring his daughter? Leia was more mature and patient, Leia would have helped balance Luke. Maybe she would have lifted the X-Wing out of the bog. Would she have run off to save Han or stayed to finish her training? She knew more about sacrifice. This would be a whole movie.
1.During his fight against Obi-wan on Concordia, the Jedi Master is forced to put Vizsla down. Doesn't matter why or how, just something makes it unavoidable.
2.During his fight against Ahsoka Tano on Carlac, the Padawan kills him in self-defense before she escapes.
What happens after his early demise? Does Death Watch scatter? Gain a new leader? How does this affect the fate of Mandalore? Satine? Bo-Katan? Other characters? Does this change anything at all in the plot?
Ifā¦. The Darksaber had a twin?
After this weekās change of ownership, I donāt personally think the Dark Saber is going back to Mando at any point.
But what if Tarre Vizsla made the Darksaber after losing his first saber on Mandalore, possibly in the living waters? Who better to find it than the person who trusted the waters to redeem him?
I like the theory of Bo & Din leading together, and what better way to symbolize a change in culture for the Mandalorians than TWO sacred blades, almost as if a prophecy of two leaders.
What would happen if Threepio and Artoo found Jabbaās Palace, and being the closest thing to a structure they had seen since escaping the Tantiv IV they head there looking for shelter and safety. But upon meeting them, Jabba decides the two unmarked droids should work for him instead. What ramifications might this have for the rest of the heroes and the Rebellion? How would Jabba react when it is inevitably revealed that Artoo is carrying a message from the one and only Princess Leia begging for help from the aged Obi-Wan Kenobi? What will Han and Chewie do when Greedo and Jabba come searching for them and they donāt have a 17,000 credit promise to pay of their debt?
What if Cara Dune had met Princess Leia? Both survived the destruction of Alderaan, but would Cara hold a grudge or look up to her as a Princess and rebel? We will never know now, but rewatching Mandalorian i wondered what it would be like.
