What if Skywalker Killed Obi Wan on Mustafar?

The duel on Mustafar is the most heartbreaking moment in Star Wars history, but what if Anakin Skywalker killed Obi-Wan Kenobi in a devastating victory instead of being defeated? Dive into the darkest Star Wars timeline to explore the immediate and absolute darkness that would consume the galaxy if the Chosen One proved his power and struck down his former master.

In this alternate history, we examine a universe where Darth Vader is complete and unburdened by the life support suit, remaining in his powerful organic body, ablaze with wrath. The video reveals how Anakin becomes the new Emperor after a final, grief-fueled confrontation with Palpatine, and how this new, stronger Vader trains his children, Luke and Leia, to embody the essence of the Sith heritage. You will learn how Obi-Wan's death inadvertently ensured the triumph of the Sith, sealing the fate of the Republic and establishing an unchallenged dynasty of Dark Side twins. This is the ultimate dark ending, where the two most powerful Force-sensitives in the galaxy are the Empire.

Key moments include:

Anakin's full descent after the death of Padmé Amidala on Naboo.
The fatal lightsaber duel between the newly empowered Vader and Emperor Palpatine.
The fate of Luke and Leia as they are ruthlessly molded into Dark Side twins.

We offer deep dives and theoretical explorations into the lore and what-if scenarios of your favorite franchises.
