My thoughts are how would the following change? This involves Padme spying on Palpatine while he talks to General Grievous in his office before the battle of Utapau. Like Padme stumbles across Palpatine in his sith robes talking to Grievous who’s on Utapau. She records the Conversation, then waits for him to leave then she discovers Order 66, and she escapes to the Jedi Temple with Bail Organa. But Palptine finds out and hires bounty hunters to silence them but they make it there safely. Or what if Padme and Bail were killed during the chase or if Palptine caught her then kills her himself how would these events affect the movie and Order 66 would these events prevent Anakin from becoming Darth Vader and would the clones remove their inhibitor chips or no?
If bail and padme were killed, the original trilogy would have never happened. The sequel trilogy would have not happened.
Yea this whole scenario neglects the need for the twins to be born unfortunately.
^ Does it? Padme accidentally finding out information is something she could still do while pregnant, as is, y'know, telling someone who can act on that information.
With freaking audio, or even better, video evidence, well then Palpatine's no longer got much of a case. He might still go for Order 66, but I'm fairly certain Order 65 takes precedent there and then, well... yeah he's boned.
He actually especially screws himself if he does kill Padme, as much as he wants to, because by doing so he gives the most powerful man in the entire galaxy at that time basically nothing left to lose.
The only reason Vader didn't go ballistic on Palpatine after finding out Padme died in ROTS is because this was after he swore allegiance to Palpatine, meaning he still had Palpatine. If Palpatine is directly implicated in Padme and his unborn children's murder... Yeah you can see where that's going.
The proposed scenario does not make room for the twins birth, evidenced by its complete omission from the original post. No plot to move forward if the Skywalker’s die off 6 movies too soon lol
^ Here's the thing: That's actually fine.
By virtue of what this post is, the twins... don't actually matter that much?
Here's why:
The scenario already assumes Padme informs someone, probably the Jedi Council (the Senate's a no-go, obviously)
With this in mind, either a) she lives and the twins are born after the Jedi handle Palpatine (and with Palpatine having no knowledge of Padme's spying he'd have minimal advance warning) or b) she dies, the twins with her... at which point consequences be damned, Anakin charges into Palpatine's office and tells him to stand down or be put down.
Either way Palpatine is essentially guaranteed to lose, because his whole plan relied on it, y'know, being secret, and no one finding out it was him the whole time until he'd turned Anakin.
And as much as Anakin likes Palpatine... he's never successfully argued with his wife before and if she dies at Palpatine's hands... see above.
Let me put it this way:
The entire reason Luke and Leia are important is that they are the last hope.
If Palpatine's plans unravel, which they totally would in this scenario, they are no longer the last hope, and just something of a major ethical question to sort out after the fact.
Which, yeah, is a big can of worms but not that huge by comparison to the entire fate of the galaxy.
^Bruh
What do you think?
