#which gives palpatine the necessary excuse to swoop in and manipulate those insecurities to tie au vader to himself

[americankimchi]

anh radio drama got me thinking abt an au where anakin and vader really are just two entirely different people the way it was originally planned to be before george lucas revised it. it would be such a massive shift though i have no idea how that would even work alongside the PT..... in this au vader would have to be in ahsoka's generation instead which brings up an even more interesting concept...... ahsoka's dark mirror in that she too lost her childhood and lifestyle to war but she turned away from the dark and kept the jedi in her heart while au vader turned towards the dark and slaughtered the jedi all at once

#liveblogging #liveblogging star wars #hmmmm and if we keep obi wan and anakin's legendary teamwork #we could also introduce the concept of the jealous apprentice who thinks he's an afterthought for his master #which gives palpatine the necessary excuse to swoop in and manipulate those insecurities to tie au vader to himself #by promising au vader that if he follows him instead palpatine would devote all his attention solely to training vader #and helping him achieve all the power and recognition that he desires #and his final test would be to kill anakin and show obi wan how powerful his apprentice has become #while also demonstrating that obi wan hasnt been paying enough attention to au vader bc obi wan didnt notice #him turning to the dark side. #hold on. this au is starting to become so tasty
