    What If The Force Revived Obi-Wan and Sent Him Back to Episode I

    Maul prepares to mount his speeder and prepares to take off to confront the Jedi as his probe droid reports finding them. But as he begins to activate it, the droid begins to jerk in the air before flying straight towards the speeder and shattering against its chassis. Cursing, the Sith warrior turns to the cause of that commotion and finds a hooded figure. He does not appear to be one of the Jedi who had accompanied the Naboo delegation. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/Mjic6xhmqBA ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Obi Wan Left The Jedi Order TOGETHER

    Anakin listens as Bariss confesses her crimes and frowns. It should be a moment of vindication but all he can feel is disgust at the Jedi Order’s actions. When he can’t look at Bariss any longer, he turns to Obi-Wan whose expression mirrors his. When the Jedi Council apologizes to Ahsoka and offers her position back, she refuses and Anakin can’t blame her. He follows after her and the two make their way down the temple steps together. However, as they prepare to leave a voice calls out to them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/GS7w_cBlGlw ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Mastered Makashi After Losing His Arm to Dooku

    The medical equipment hums softly as Anakin lies in his bed. Though the medical droids say he’s stable and expected to pull through, what does that mean? It won’t bring his arm back. His thoughts race back to the duel on Geonosis. Count Dooku’s blade flashed like a streak of lightning. Even though he was almost three times Anakin’s age, Count Dooku moved like a man in his twenties. Anakin fought with all his strength, skill, and every ounce of raw power he could summon, but none was enough. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/rJwaNUBzC7w ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Anakin AND Obi-Wan And Sent Them To Episode 1?

    Anakin blinks and feels himself rising with a start as he hears the doors of Watto’s junk shop open and a group of figures step inside. Watto has him working in the storeroom, gathering spare parts for their latest project. Meanwhile, the Toydarian’s raspy voice is arguing with another figure. In response, a familiar voice causes Anakin to stand up and approach the main area. There, he finds Qui-Gon Jin speaking calmly to try to placate Anakin’s angry master. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/EBoKLwr3-Lg ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

    What if Count Dooku Led the Separatists as a Jedi?

    Dooku relentlessly paces back and forth as he swears under his breath. In a mere week, he had an encounter with a sith lord named Darth Sidious, one who turned out to be none other than the new Chancellor of the Republic. Though the Jedi Master had refused Sidious’s temptation, Dooku’s warnings fell on deaf ears, unfounded accusations from the result of grieving the loss of Qui-Gon. Dooku: Fools, the lot of them. Too blind to see what is right under their nose. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/t1jZ9LnPG4M ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Sent Anakin, Obi-Wan, & Ahsoka to The Battle of Endor

    The Father: If you will not stay to take my place, you must see what you become. Anakin: See what I become? What are you talking about? Before Anakin can demand answers, the Father raises his hand. Reality fractures around them. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka cry out as brilliant light consumes everything. The three Jedi feel themselves pulled through something beyond hyperspace, beyond the Force itself. Time and space twist around them like a whirlpool. Then impact. Soft ground. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/sjVQDSMbZ3E ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Council Cared About Anakin's Mental Health

    The Council Chamber is quiet. Sunlight filters through the tall windows of Coruscant, casting golden halos on twelve seats that have judged the galaxy for centuries. But today, for the first time, they hesitate. Anakin Skywalker stands at the center, nineteen, restless, brilliant, and burning from the inside out. His emotions pulse through the Force like waves in a storm. Normally, that would earn him a lecture. Today, it earns him silence. Mace Windu studies him, not as a soldier, but as a soul. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/y9ip9ysTFZg ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

    What if Qui Gon Trained Anakin Skywalker

    The green blade clashes against red. Sparks fly. Maul twists, aiming a killing stroke toward Qui-Gon’s chest—but the Jedi pivots just in time, parries, then slams his hilt into Maul’s chin. Maul staggers. Qui-Gon surges forward, driving his blade through Maul’s midsection. The Sith's eyes widen in shock. His saber flickers and dies. A low growl escapes his lips as his lifeless form tumbles into the reactor shaft. Silence falls. Obi-Wan leaps through the last energy barrier as it shuts down. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/smYj02_izok ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Faced Anakin on Mustafar, NOT Obi Wan

    Anakin can hardly believe his eyes as he watches his Padawan descend the ship's boarding ramp. For a moment, he forgets his anger towards the Jedi and himself, simply overjoyed to see that she's ok. But Ahsoka doesn't share these feelings and the joy in Anakin quickly disappears when he sees Ahsoka's drawn lightsabers and grim expression. Behind her is Captain Rex whose hands rest on his blasters. Ahsoka: I've heard about the Jedi Temple. Tell me, is it true? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/JxmABNW2tV8 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Had Visions of Anakin Burning on Mustafar

    The mood in the Jedi Council Chambers is tense as they gather for group meditation. Although the fires of the recent Battle of Coruscant have faded into the background, they still raise some uncomfortable questions about the war and what shall come after. They saw how close the Republic came to destruction, which cannot be easily ignored. This raises some issues about the future regarding the Clone Wars and beyond. To that end, they gather in the council chambers to determine just that. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/8xGP_gnWIW0 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 EMBRACED Being The Chosen One

    As the last residue of Qui-Gon’s ashes is swept away in the Coruscant air, the small but unusual ceremony comes to an end. Normally, Jedi have their remains interred in the Temple, but Qui-Gon had insisted on such a burial for himself. He claimed he wished to become one with the Living Force, and this was the best way to fulfill that desire. When the last words are spoken, the ceremony comes to an end, and the crowd begins to disperse. For Anakin, it is not a moment too soon. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/gRULAJg9-qc ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 SAVED Anakin on Mustafar

    Anakin closes his eyes and screams as the fires consume his body. He writhes around on the stony shore, feeling his body burn as the lava spreads across his body. Although only a few seconds pass, it feels like an eternity. But as the pain looks ready to consume him, a blinding light shines through the air, leaving Anakin wincing and covering his eyes. The light is painful, but in a different way. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/u_wZIB5EjfM ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

    What if Revan SAVED Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace

    The Theed Royal Palace hums with the clash of lightsabers, the air thick with tension as the Jedi and Sith circle each other for the first time in centuries. And then, the Sith strike. Darth Maul rushes forward, his lightsaber blur of speed and precision, driving Qui-Gon Jinn back toward the plasma gates. He is unused to fighting against a double-bladed saber. The movements are twice as fast and come from the most unusual angles, leaving him unable to halt their attacks as effectively. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/burWMCRoZoo ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Freed Anakin's Mother

    The nightmares begin three months after Naboo. Young Anakin Skywalker tosses in his narrow Temple bed, tears streaming down his face as he calls for his mother. The same dream every night: Shmi's voice growing fainter across an endless desert, her outstretched hand disappearing into sand and shadow. In the Council chambers, Obi-Wan presents his concerns with careful neutrality. Obi-Wan (measured): "The boy's connection to his mother remains... intense. His training suffers. His focus wavers. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/iezhcRP7L8k ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Learned VAAPAD During The Clone Wars

    Mace Windu looks up in surprise as Anakin enters his chambers. His eyes trail downward to Anakin’s new robotic arm and offers a sympathetic nod. Mace: What brings you here, Skywalker? Anakin: A request, master. I understand that your fighting style is designed to counteract the Dark Side. Mace: In a manner of speaking, yes. Why do you ask? Anakin: I want to learn it. Mace: No. Vaapad is not a toy, Skywalker. It is too risky to teach, especially to one who hasn’t even passed the Jedi Trials. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/LmZgvjBBycs ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Refused To Duel Obi-Wan on Mustafar

    The heat from Mustafar's volcanic surface shimmers in waves across the landing platform. Anakin Skywalker stands motionless, his yellow-tinged eyes fixed on the figure descending the ship's ramp. Obi-Wan Kenobi. His former master. His brother. It was already a shock to see Padmé, her face twisted in betrayal and horror when she realized what he'd become. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/VQYRogrDtmY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

    What if Revan Awakened During the Empire Era and Found Luke

    Aunt Beru falls to the ground and urges Luke to escape. He manages to slip out of the house and begins running. When he glances back, he sees a figure in all black chasing after him, carrying a blood-red lightsaber. Suddenly, his foot slips on a rock and he tumbles. Reva smiles as she catches up to the boy. But as she approaches, a shadow forms between them as a second figure appears. Revan: Not a step further. Reva: Who are you? Revan: A bringer of death or a savior of life. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/c8upv1FtCrw ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 The Jedi Council NOT to Dismiss Ahsoka

    Anakin can hardly contain his disgust at what he sees in the Jedi Council. Obi-Wan can sense the anger and sighs. Obi-Wan: The Republic government has been pressuring us to take harsh action to resolve this issue. They believe that if we do not comply with their demands, then we may be compromised. Anakin: So that’s what this is then? Appeasement? Giving them their pound of flesh? This council should be ashamed of itself! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/K2JKa9g9BpE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Realized Palpatine Shouldn’t Know About Padme

    Palpatine: Anakin, please. I know how much you love her, let me help you save her. Anakin: And how is it you know about the two of us? For once, Palpatine does not have an answer. He freezes up and looks at him. He didn’t expect the young Jed to catch on to that. Instead, he tries to quickly think of an excuse, but it is too late. Anakin suddenly springs forward and sweeps his lightsaber at him. The chancellor’s eyes widen as he steps back, igniting his own weapon. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/qE573SA1_yY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 Was on Coruscant When Palpatine Tried to Turn Anakin

    Obi-Wan stands atop one of the upper levels of the Utapau city, watching as his forces are slowly deployed into the sinkhole below. They have a good idea where Grievous is and now it is only a matter of tracking him down and destroying him once and for all. His men are making good progress in their deployment and they should be ready to strike soon. But he finds his mind drifting off elsewhere as he thinks of his recent conversations with the Jedi Council and Anakin. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE - Original video: https://youtu.be/hlZA-TT1bNo ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FOLLOW THE SHOW 📺 YouTube: https://Youtube.com/@DarthTheorist 💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/U5yUTamJ48 📧 Sponsorships & business: theorist.services@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
