Welcome back to part number 3 and the finale of what if Darth Vader found out Leia was
his daughter. Thank you to those of you who have watched any of the other parts! If you
have not seen any of those videos, or are not subscribed, make sure you do those first
before watching this video. After destroying the Death Star, Vader nursed
his slightly damaged TIE Advanced shuttle to the closest Star Destroyer. As he begins
to land in the hangar, he notices immediately that something is wrong, and the Imperial
troopers on the ground below fire at will. Vader tries to swerve the ship away from the
blaster fire, but his reinforced hull is burning, and he is forced to leap out. The Sith machine
felt hate to the Emperor surge through him, and he lifted a loose piece of the wall, and
pushed it at immense speed to the Imperial Forces. Through the embers of the burning
hangar, Vader suddenly felt a great wave of pain course through him, and he looked up
to see that the Emperor standing over him. Palpatine did not need to discover that his
apprentice had destroyed the Death Star, in order to deduce that he had been betrayed,
as nothing escaped him. Although he had been quietly impressed by Vader’s efforts to
overwhelm the troops, the power of the apprentice would always be in significant to that of
Lord Sidious. Two personal guards take Vader away from the floor and into Sidious’ quarters,
where he would suffer a prolonged period of pain. Vader later awoke and found himself
in a Force containment field. Through the corner of his battered mask, he saw Palpatine
looking smug atop his throne, and Vader knew that he could not provoke the Sith master.
Although the Force field was stopping him from breaking out, he deepened his connection
to the Force, and reached out to any Force presence outside of the room. From a Rebel
cruiser, Leia was looking out of the wide bay window, with C3P0, R2-D2 and a healing
Luke. At the same time, the twins felt the Force poking at their senses, and looked at
each other, now aware that their father was in trouble. Luke shrugged off the sling he
had been equipping, and ran to the temporary quarters of Yoda, Obi-Wan and Bail Organa.
The two Jedi masters are curious to the dramatic outburst, but they soon get to their feet,
hearing the threat to Vader’s life. Although Luke had limited training, Yoda knew that
Vader would not last long under the watchful eye of the Emperor, and soon he would be replaced
by another, perhaps even more powerful Force sensitive. The rebels enter the hangar, and
choose a lightweight freighter to fly to the star destroyer, which had been detected by
the Alliance fleet, and approach it slowly, before its turrets swivelled, and began to
fire. Luke engages into a series of loops and turns, and manages to dodge them all,
then hovered into the same hangar that Vader had tried to land in. But unlike with Vader’s
descent, less Imperial troopers were awaiting their arrival, and the Jedi drop down, focused
upon finding Vader. The Jedi navigate a series of corridors, with Leia sending a transmission
to the Rebel High Command, ordering them to attack with maximum firepower. Luke, Yoda
and Obi-Wan reached a series of turbolifts, and entered one of the centre ones, rising
to the top floor, and prepared themselves to be exposed to the dark side. The doors
slid open without their command, and Sidious turned around in his chair. The senile Sith
Lord clapped his hands together, and walked down the stairs to greet them. Like his father,
Luke was impatient, and lunged straight to Palpatine, which was a mistake, as he is hit
by the full Force of a Sith lightning attack. Obi-Wan and Yoda had no time to check upon
the health of Luke, as soon they were both duelling with the Sith, who had lost
none of his powers, despite his age. To the side, Luke crawled along the floor, and saw
his father contained in a Force field. The ship tilted slightly with the Rebel attack,
but Luke was determined, and freed Vader from his shackles. The apprentice to Sidious found
his lightsaber on top of the armrest of Palpatine’s throne, and summoned it into his hand, and
marched with intent to the Sith Lord. Palpatine accused his apprentice of choosing the side
of the weak in the Jedi, but this was no longer Vader, but Anakin Skywalker. Aided by Yoda
and Obi-Wan, Anakin used all of his untapped potential, that the Emperor had trapped within
him, and lifted him into the air, then threw his lightsaber at him, sending whisps of Sith
energy around the room, and depressurizing it. The four combatants scramble to safety,
as missiles began to rain upon the star destroyer, and each find the closest star fighter to
go to the safety of the Rebel fleet. There Leia is present to block any Rebel officers
from attacking Vader, and at last he had earned her forgiveness, and fulfilled his prophecy
in bringing balance to the Force. That is it for what if Darth Vader found out
Leia was his daughter. If you enjoyed this what if, please like this video, turn on your
