What if Anakin Skywalker Betrayed Palpatine and Became Emperor
What if Anakin Skywalker Betrayed Palpatine and Became Emperor? Let’s explore the depths of this scenario in the video.
As Palpatine watches the Jedi Temple burning in the distance, he smiles knowing all that remains is dealing with the CIS council. Something Anakin should be more than capable of. The office doors slide open and Anakin enters, grim-faced and staring at him.
Palpatine: Excellent job, my boy. I have one final task for you and I shall teach you everything I know.
A flicker of amusement crosses Anakin’s face as he stares at the chancellor. Palpatine frowns as he leans closer.
Palpatine: Is something wrong?
Anakin: No, not at all. I was just thinking as I stormed the Jedi archives, I realized something. Master Jocasta controlled access to the secret data banks and I had just killed her. So I took the data off her and have access myself.
Palpatine: And what does that mean?
Anakin: It means, I have all the information I need at my fingertips. You’re useless to me now, Chancellor.
Palpatine surges to his feet, but Anakin is faster. He throws both hands out and lifts Palpatine off the ground before slamming him against the wall. He smirks and draws his lightsaber.
Snarling, the emperor draws his own and moves to meet him. Rather than attack him directly, Palpatine veers to the side and lifts a shelf to throw at him first. Anakin slices it apart and then holds his lightsaber defensively to block his attack. As Palpatine bears down on him, Anakin twists it away and does a backflip.
He pushes the chancellor’s desk over and slides it towards Palpatine who leaps over it. As his feet touch the ground, Anakin presses him again. His movements grow faster and more aggressive as he doesn’t hold back. The memories of what he did in the temple are still fresh in his mind and fuel his rage. That is something that Palpatine can’t hope to match.
Soon, the emperor finds stumbling back from the attacks. He knew Anakin was strong, but the power of his attacks takes Palpatine off guard and he finds himself on the back foot. Desperately, he tries to get some distance to unleash Force Lightning on Anakin, but the Jedi easily blocks it, though it keeps Anakin in place and prevents him from stepping forward.
Anakin feels his body trembling to keep the emperor’s attack back. He continues to fight against it, but then wills himself to step forward. With great effort, he manages to take a step forward, then another. He summons all his strength to keep moving.
However, as he draws closer, the lightning grows stronger. It starts to singe his skin as stray sparks strike his face. The burning sensation spreads across his face, but he ignores it and continues to advance, pushing Palpatine’s powers to it’s breaking point.
Palpatine falters due to fatigue until it becomes too much. His hand drops to the ground and he falls to his knees. Anakin prepares to finish him off, but Palpatine blocks the attack with his lightsabers.
In desperation, his other hand reaches for a second lightsaber he keeps hidden. Anakin notices the movement and catches the chancellor’s hand with his robotic hand and gives a cruel twist. There is a loud snap as Palpatine’s hand breaks. The pain shatters his concentration, allowing Anakin to bring his lightsaber across Palpatine’s face.
Anakin has little time to rest as he makes his way over to the Senate floor to reveal everything.
Anakin: I come to you today to report the tragic loss of our chancellor. In his final days, he discovered a plot by the Jedi to usurp the government. He ordered me to quell this rebellion quickly, but while I stormed the Jedi Temple, a group of Jedi assassinated the chancellor. In his final breaths, he informed me that he wished for me to continue leading the Republic in his stead. I did not want to be put into this position but in memory of our glorious chancellor, I must respect his final wishes and continue what he started!
The senate erupts in thunderous applause, able to be heard even outside the chambers.
Anakin: Although Dooku and Grievous have been defeated, the CIS remains at large and I shall see us through this crisis until they are all defeated. To ensure our continued security and stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the Galactic Empire! We Shall Finally End This War!
The senators welcome this development. All around him, cheers and applause erupt from the people who welcome this change. They are eager to see an end to this war and Anakin certainly looks like he can handle it. He is young, energetic, and already a decorated war hero.
Not everyone joins the applause though as Padme and a few others hesitate. However, she can do little as her pregnancy reaches its final stages, forcing her to take a break from politics to prepare for the birth.
