For the past few weeks I’ve been making a Star Wars AU fanfic 2D animation the pics above are my drawings, it revolves around a small change where instead of Anakin being burned when Obi-Wan chopped him up, he lands up the lava bank without sliding down and Obi-Wan defies Yoda‘s order to kill him because he can’t bring himself to kill his old friend. So much like the main universe, but I’ll be exploring the butterfly effect so to speak. My question for you is how do you think the Emperor would’ve approached this situation. It seems pretty straightforward, but it presents Palpatine with a lot of extra opportunities, but also dangers because in my mind Anakin was serious when he told Padme his intention to overthrow the emperor. I think his injuries would’ve definitely weakened him at least for a temporary time, and his loss of Padme would’ve still thrown him into a deep depression, but without without the constant agony of the suit, his dark side powers would be severely stunted so I guess mopey Vader? I mean tell me if I’m wrong, but I think Palpatine would push Vader to dawn his public persona Skywalker to lend more legitimacy to the empire maybe he appoints him as a supreme commander or a minister of defense something along those lines and maybe Anakin has to juggle his skywalker persona and his Vader persona, which would play up the conflict that the Vader character always had, but I don’t know. Tell me what you think this is a discussion.

edit: also happy may 19th, I think it’s obvious my fav SW movie is ROTS lol
