What If Anakin Realized Palpatine Scammed Him?

What If Anakin Realized Palpatine Scammed Him? In this Star Wars alternate timeline, we explore what would have happened if Anakin Skywalker discovered that Chancellor Palpatine had been manipulating him from the very beginning. What if Anakin finally realized that the promises of power, the story of Darth Plagueis, and Palpatine's offer to save Padmé were all part of one enormous deception? This Star Wars what-if scenario explores the moment Anakin begins questioning everything Palpatine has told him. Instead of believing that Darth Sidious can give him the power to prevent death, Anakin realizes that Palpatine has been exploiting his greatest fears and using his love for Padmé against him. Would Anakin confront Palpatine before becoming Darth Vader? Could he expose the Sith Lord to the Jedi Council before Order 66? We explore how Anakin's realization could change his relationship with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Mace Windu, Yoda, and the Jedi Order. If Anakin discovers the truth about Palpatine before his final fall, he could become one of the greatest threats to Darth Sidious' plan. But Palpatine knows Anakin's weaknesses better than almost anyone. Would Anakin be able to resist the manipulation, or would Sidious find another way to turn the Chosen One?
