Star Wars: The Immortal Empire

"It's over Anakin! I have the high ground"
"You underestimate my power!"
A star wars story that heads in a much different direction from the episode III ending that we all know and love.

I've only ever seen one other story like this on the internet so thought I'd add a lil something to the market. Not to mention Darth Vader is literally my favorite character in fiction so a story with him winning on Mustafaar is right up my alley, plus I've always been a sucker for the villains in basically every series I've watched/read.

Description & Notes: This is an alternate Star Wars timeline in which episode 3 has a different ending from what we saw in legends/canon, I won't straight up tell you here, you gotta read and find out! But before you do, here are some things to note about the other differences with this timeline and the main SW timeline that you're all used to.

1. This timeline isn't purely legends or canon, I'm taking a little bit from both lore wise and combining them as much as I can without contradicting each other.

2. I changed up a few events that took place during the clone war with this timeline and they are as follow. In this timeline, the Inhibitor chip arc in the clone wars never happens so Fives and Tup don't die and stay in the 501st. The Siege of Mandalore arc happens the same way it did in canon but instead of Rex and Jesse leading the assault with Ahsoka, it'll instead be ARC Trooper Alpha-17 taking Rex's spot and Captain Vaughn taking Jesse's spot. The last edit is that the bad batch won't betray the Empire, not too sure what I'll do with them yet but I have a few ideas.

Also I'll be changing the interpretation of the timeline to something bit simpler. I've always been thrown off by the BBY and ABY timeline order so I'll be altering it from BBY/ABY to BRE/ARE (Before the Rise Of The Empire and after the Rise Of The Empire) ie: Anakin's birth would be translated from 41 BBY to 22 BRE since he was born 22 years before the ending of ROTS.
