Vaelastraz Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 This is something I have thought about recently: You all know the story of starwars, from Episode 1 to Episode 6. The most important character (or one of the most) is Anakin Skywalker. Now my question is, what would have happened, if Quigon was able to force persuade that trader on Tantoine (forgot his name) to accept republic credits? That way, he would never have discovered that Anakin is force sensitive, as he would not have relied on Anakin for their space cruiser. And why bother with one nice slave, when there are so many you cannot save? Anakin would have never become a Jedi, thus never ending up working for Palpatine. But another thing: What about that battle on naboo? it was anakin who destroyed that one important ship which made the gungan army win... Would the naboo have lost the planet? What would have happened next? Would Palpatine be able to become chancellor (spelling?)? Would he be able to wipe the Jedi out, without the help of Anakin? What Count Dooku one day betray Palpatine? Would Obi wan have survived the clon wars? (presumably not, but then again, he might have taken another padawan who saves his life lol) Ah, the possibilities... What do you guys think?

Inyri Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well, as the Jedi always say, there is no such thing as luck. You could debate it until everyone was blue in the face, but if we are to believe all that is said of the Force, then Qui-gon finding Anakin was predestined, and there was no alternative.

Jeff Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 It could never happen that way. Anakin was destined to meet Qui-Gon and leave Tatooine to become a Jedi. So you can't really say what if it happened differently. That's just how Star Wars is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan7 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 what if qui-gon had been able to persuade watto to let anakin's mother come along as well and getting a nice cousey appartment in the jedi temple? after all maybe she had the highest midichlorian count ever, but she was never to discover her true potential.... Darth Mumar (mrs skywalker) "I am your mother luke, search your feelings... you know it to be true" hehe what if...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igyman Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Yes, Anakin's destiny was determined by the allpowerful Movie Director!! (Scary voice) Now my question is, what would have happened, if Quigon was able to force persuade that trader on Tantoine (forgot his name) to accept republic credits? I think the right question is what would have happened if the Toydarians (the traders, Watto's, species) have evolved differently and thus not become resistant to Jedi Mind Tricks?

*bAsTiLaJeEdAi* Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Good point. And what would have happened if Luke died or fell to the dark side? Darth Luke (breathing noises). haha that sounds kinda lame. I guess that would be the complete end of the Jedi though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-1162 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Darth Mumar (mrs skywalker) "I am your grandmother luke, search your feelings... you know it to be true" hehe what if...... fixed! although, i agree with D Mo, it was predestined that Anakin would meet Qui Gon.

Ztalker Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Quote: Watto: No, they won't-a. What? You think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? I'm a Toydarian, mind tricks don't work on me. Only money. No money, no parts, no deal! Since he's the only Junk-dealer around the place with the apopriate engine parts, Qui-Gon can't go nowhere else. And this junk dealer is immune for force-powers... So it Anakin is their only way of the planet. With a reason. Has nothing to do with persuading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaelastraz Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 snipped..... I think there'd be some unemployed actors and Lucas would be a lot poorer. Oh, I didnt even think about that!! Just imagine, the impact on other movies! Harrison Ford would have never become that famous, probably there would be no Indiana Jones like we know a long with a lot of other movies. Having no Indiana Jones, would probably have changed Steven Spielberghs career as well. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
