TheBoost, when was anyone ever raped in the movies???

Oh hey, good point. When did Anakin rape his dad? Did I miss a Special Edition version or something?

Sorry, I think I got to paraphrasing "Alice's Restaurant"

Personally, I think Vader would have been a far better ruler than Palpatine. He probably would have abolished Palpatine's xenophobic decrees and allowed non-humans equal rights within the Empire, wouldn't have committed or sanctioned any genocidal crusades, and probably wouldn't have had planet killing super weapons like the Death Stars built. He wouldn't be entirely benevolent, but he wouldn't be the Space Hitler his master was.


I'm curious what about this friend-betraying, child-slaughtering, father raping, daughter-torturing, Force-choking, sand-hating beast gives you the impression he'd be in any way benevolent.

 

Unless that post was your human sarcasm. I always have trouble with that.


I almost always operate from a PT-blind perspective, if that helps any.

Bizarre allegations aside (snerk), I am currently the editor of a story in which Vader was never injured, killed Palpatine mere days after becoming his apprentice, and ruled the galaxy for over twenty years before abdicating his throne and departing, along with Grand Admiral Thrawn, to the Unknown Regions of the galaxy to fight against alien invaders.  In addition to the familiar characters, the story also features appearances from Revan and the Jedi Exile (as well as the morbidly hilarious assassin droid HK-47) from the Knights of the Old Republic series, as well as an original villain called the Burned Lord, a figure partially inspired by the Joker, whose aim is to consume the galaxy in a Force-induced inferno.

It isn't completely finished yet, but we're consistently posting a new chapter every two weeks.  There are some elements of the prequels here and there, but don't let that put you off—I'm pleased to report there are no midichlorians anywhere in sight.  ;)

In short, if you're in the mood to read SW done right, look no further . . . and I would say that even if the author was not a close friend of mine.  (The complete prequel-rewrite I've occasionally mentioned will be his next project after completing this story.)

Sounds a lot like plot elements from KOTOR I and II.

I think (didn't play the game) that the Sith Emperor had a similar goal in the SWTORMMORPG.

I always assumed this would lead to a more fantasy themed universe, with Vader becoming the evil Dark Lord ruler of the galaxy with mystical powers over all mortals...but with an army....and a cybernetic robot suit...and nothing much else to do.
