Star Wars: What if...?

What if...Padme Lived?

Padme Amidiala, former Queen of Naboo, and senator.  Married to Anakin Skywalker, later to be known as Darth Vader.  Died in childbirth, giving Luke and Leia life.  But what if she lived instead?  And what would happen if Darth Vader found out that Lord Sidious lied to him?

After Revenge of the Sith

Our story begins when Darth Vader is alone in his quarters.  He was just getting used to his new suit.  He had been told of Padme's death.  But he can still sense her presence.  He had to find out where his missing wife is, the only place where she'd feel safe and find happiness.  Darth Vader would know the only place that Padme would go to.  He got out and headed for Naboo, Padme's homeworld.  He went to the Lake Country.  There, he was at gunpoint by two soldiers.  He instantly crushes their throats with one swift move with the force.  He then sees Padme, sitting on the balcony while Luke and Leia laid in a bed made for two nearby.  Padme hears a strange voice from behind.  She jumps in fear and grabs her kids close.  She steps as far from Vader as possible as soon as her legs were pressed against the balcony's rail.  She aims her blaster at Darth Vader's head, and fired.  The Sith Lord blocks the blast with his blood red lightsaber and uses force stasis on Padme from neck downward.  She would ask Darth Vader who he was, he wouldn't answer, still being shocked by the fact that his wife was still alive.  He struggles to look down further as his helmet keeps him from looking all the way down.  He would finally say it was him.  Padme wouldn't believe it, but soon realizes that this was him.  Darth Vader would begin to feel agony take over.  Her once-beautiful face was red from his helmet's lenses, he couldn't even feel her skin, and now, he can hear his children cry.  Darth Vader would stand back.  He'd get down his knees, he would beg Padme to forgive him for everything he had done.  They both hear footsteps behind them.  Darth Vader turns slowly to see Obi-Wan Kenobi, his former master.  Master Yoda wouldn't seperate Padme's twins since their mother was alive.  Obi-Wan would be tasked to watch over them still however.  Darth Vader looks to Padme.  Obi-Wan would ready his lightsaber, senseing Anakin's presence.  Padme would tell Obi-Wan to lower his weapon.  Obi-Wan would do as ordered, but keep his lightsaber in hand.  Padme bends down and tell Darth Vader that she forgives him.  Darth Vader's once cold and dark heart would change as Obi-Wan does the same tells him that he forgav him.  He would be turned back to Anakin Skywalker.  He would be given a more better suit.  It was more comfortable, and his lenses had no color in them, so he can see every colors, it would also have a far more better system.  Anakin would his old lightsaber back, it would shine it's diamond blue on everything it brightened.  Anakin would provide much help to the Rebellion, led by Padme Amidala.  But then one day, months after his redemption, Anakin would tell Padme and Obi-Wan that he was going somewhere.  The next day, the two would stare out of the balcony.  They then hear the doors open.  They expected it to be Anakin, but they couldn't hear the breathing Anakin's suit would still make.  They turn, seeing a familiar face.  Padme would be shocked as Obi-Wan would look amazed.  Anakin would smile, because they could see his face.  He looked just as he was before.  He was completely himself again.  His skin was no longer burnt, his hair had been restored, his limbs were back, including his original right arm.  He touched Padme's cheek, feeling her skin for the first time in forever.  He explains that he used the cloning system made from the Empire to restore him and transfer his mind to a new version of himself.  Anakin, along with Obi-Wan, would search throughout the galaxy, searching for Order 66 survivors.  They'd be able to at one point find, Ahsoka, Anakin's former apprentice, Caleb Dume, aka "Kannan Jarrus", Cere Junda (Jedi: Fallen Order), and (my most favortie Jedi, also Jedi: Fallen Order) Cal Kestis.  And Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka would help them in any way they can.  Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka Tano would be new Jedi Council members.  They would train the new force users.

Over the 19 Years

Anakin is grandmaster, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan are council members.  They would be able to find Force users across the galaxy, Ezra Bridger would be trained by Kannan (I liked it when he trained him).  Few of the inquisitors, such as Trilla (2nd Sister), and Reva (3rd sister), would be brought back into the light side.  Luke and Leia are also council members and, besides Anakin, are the most powerful Jedi there are in the new Jedi Order.  The Order would be much more different than the original Order, ovbiously due to Anakin's love to Padme.  Darth Sidious would eventually find and convice Darth Mual, his original apprentice before many others, to come back.  The Order would sense that it's time soon.

A New Hope

The new Jedi Order would be helping the alliance greatly.  By the time of the Death Star battle, the Jedi would help, and Luke and Anakin would destroy the Death Star.  

The Empire "Strikes Back"

The next change would be on Hoth.  The Rebels wouldn't lose Hoth as a base.  As for the Cloud City however, it would probably be Darth Mual vs Anakin.  Anakin wouldn't have forgotten what the nightbrother did to Qui-Gon 33 years ago.  He would ultimately defeat the Sith Lord.

The Return of the Jedi

The change in here would be when Anakin fights the Emperor, he would instantly defeat them.  The Jedi Order would be restored.  Anakin would retire as grandmaster and hand his responsibility to his son, Luke Skywalker.  Anakin and Padme would finally live in peace.
