Part Two

XXX

Palpatine still acts as puppet master: Padmé is his protegee, but she instead uses her cunning and ambition to steal Palpatine’s power away as soon as he gains it

He appoints her his apprentice, Lady Vader, and their plans are set into motion

Mace Windu and Anakin go to confront Palpatine, and Mace is defeated. Anakin deals the killing blow to the Sith, but then a blaster fires, hitting him in the leg

Padmé emerges from the shadows of the fallen Sith and Chancellor’s office, using the advantage of her husband’s shock and disbelief to grab his weapon

She knocks him out, ordering Palpatine’s guards, who serve her as next highest in command, to take Anakin and prepare to freeze him in carbonite

Meanwhile, Padmé ascends as Emperess, announcing to the galaxy that Palpatine is dead and the Jedi are the cause of evil in the galaxy

She gives Order 66 and the Jedi fall

Empress Amidala sends the 501st into the Jedi Temple to eliminate the Jedi; the 212th is ordered to return to Coruscant only with the body of Obi-wan Kenobi

But as evil rises within the galaxy, the Force tries to bring balance

Luke and Leia are born as Anakin is frozen in carbonite. They are healthy, but still in a world of darkness

Padmé keeps her husband close, hidden away in her chambers. The queen Naboo and the galaxy once knew is long gone; dark eliminates all traces of light and love

Her children grow up under the same guise, trained by Dark artifacts recovered from Palpatine and around the galaxy. They are unstoppable, never knowing or having mercy

Obi-wan is found and killed, and without hope, Yoda tries to defeat Padmé and steal away the Skywalker children

This attempt fails too, and Padmé successfully oversees the construction of the Death Star

The Empire, with Padmé and her children at the helm, is unstoppable even against attempts at Rebellion. The two most powerful beings in the universe dominate the Force, and together, the family rules the galaxy

Imperial AU

Imagine a dark au where where the heroes become Imperials.

Padme lives and schemes with her husband to take out Palpatine and take power for themselves. Padme becomes Empress Amidala and pledges to bring order and peace to a corrupt galaxy by any means necessary. Those who stay loyal to Palpatine and those who enforce slavery upon the galaxy will die a most painful death.  

Darth Vader stands by his Empress’ side. Enforcing her rule but remembering who he was, he is not Palpatine’s slave, but Padme’s equal and love. Together they will bring peace and order to the galaxy. All those who stand with Palpatine or the Hutts, will face Vader’s might and the Empress’ will.

Luke and Leia. Luke and Leia were trained by their father Darth Vader since childhood, but shown love from their mother. Raised to become the new Sith. They are Vader’s apprentices. Luke is known throughout the Empire as Darth Zhoun and Leia is known as Darth Alia. Their official rank for the Empire is the Royal Inquisitors, holding power over the Grand Inquisitor. Together the twins will hunt the Jedi and bring order to the galaxy. Leia later finds love with a most loyal Imperial Pilot and for daring to take that love away, Leia unleashed the full power of the dark side on Tatooine and destroyed Jabba The Hutt leaving absolute no trace of the loathsome Hutt. Together with the Empress’ Hand Mara Jade, Luke laid waste to Palpatine’s loyalists, including assassinating Tarkin. FInally together Luke and Mara confront and kill Obi-Wan Kenobi and Leia tracks down and kills Yoda. The Jedi’s treachery finally ends.

Han Solo becomes the best Tie Pilot in the Imperial Navy. So skilled that he is known throughout the galaxy as the Black Ace. When he thought all was lost after being in debted to the Hutts, the Imperials offered him a better life and became the best pilot in the Galaxy. Keeping Han’s close relationships to Chewie, Lando and Leia The Royal Inquisitor. Han helps blast those loyal to Palpatine out of the sky and way waste to his Empress and Princess’ enemies. 

Chewbacca became the Empire’s official Emissary and enforcer to Kashyyyk. Because of Padme’s diplomatic and egalitarian nature, Padme has been more smart about running her empire. Padme’s Empire Inducts alien races into their empire and continue their expansion by conquering territory while promoting their way of life over others. Chewie is The Empire’s official Emissary to Kashyyyk and works alongside Han on jobs to promote peace and to prevent the slavery of the Wookies.

Lando is the Grand Moff. After Tarkin has shown his loyalty to Palpatine, Lando has become the new Grand Moff. Bringing a quick and swift end to the unrest in the galaxy, with the help of Lando, the Empire has brought an end to Palpatine’s loyalists.

Together our heroes brings peace and order to the galaxy and makes the Empire better under Padme’s control.

Dark Skywalker AU

I have come up with a Dark Skywalker au and Darth names for if Padme, Luke, Leia,  Kylo(were he to truly become Sith) and Rey have fallen to the dark side with Anakin.

For Padme. Simply this. Padme has inherited the mantle of Darth Traya. She found out Palpatine is indeed the Sith Lord and was behind Naboo and the Clone Wars. She feels betrayed and chooses the dark side to seek revenge. The nature of betrayal causes her to betray the Jedi(they never see it coming and when it does come it hurts harder than Order 66, Sith!Padme is the Jedi’s worst nightmare) and to seduce the chosen one in love and to the dark side and uses Darth Vader to destroy Darth Sidious so they can make the galaxy how they want it to be. "There must always be a Darth Traya, one that holds the knowledge of betrayal. Who has been betrayed in their heart, and will betray in turn." And Padme would become Empress Amidala with Darth Vader by her side.

For Luke. Darth Zhoun. “Zoon” means “Son” in Dutch, just as “Vater” means “Father” in Dutch, with “Darth Vader” translating to “Dark Father,” thus “Darth Zhoun” would mean “Dark Son,” a fitting title for a Dark Luke. For story purposes, Luke lets the anger of Ben and Yoda’s lies get to him and after he constructs his new lightsaber, he seeks his father out. Vader begins his training. And Luke is darker in meeting with Jabba The Hut. Luke is under orders to kill Jabba to test his powers out. Luke fully unleashes his raw powers upon Jabba’s palace. “I did warn you didn’t I? Not to underestimate my powers? You should have bargained, Jabba” he says before decapitating Jabba. Darth Zhoun returns to his father ready to face the Emperor and rule the galaxy as father and son. Together they fulfill their destiny, destroy the Emperor and rule the Galaxy as father and son. Anyone Imperial who dares defy Vader’s rule as Emperor is instantly killed by Darth Zhoun. Leia becomes a Jedi to stop her dark father and bring her brother back or do what she must.

As for Leia. I think. Darth Alia (feminine form of another in Latin) Leia’s anger always proved to be strong. Her hatred for Vader and the Empire is present. Lets say Vader sensed the force within Leia on Bespin and ordered Leia to be taken to the Executor immediately. Lando and Chewie are powerless to save her. Han is being taken to Jabba and Leia is being taken to the Empire. Their only hope is Luke. Luke fails. And Leia is at Vader’s mercy. But Vader senses something familiar, he finds out Leia is his daughter. He trains his daughter and brings her raw anger out. Her anger of the destruction of Alderaan, her anger of Vader and the Empire and her anger of losing Han. Leia proves to be powerful. “Together we will rule the galaxy, as father and daughter. We will turn the empire into a force for good.” And Leia unleashes her anger and fury upon Jabba’s palace and frees Han Solo. Han is horrified at what Leia has become and runs to the Rebellion. “The Smuggler will bring your brother to us” Together Vader and Leia meet with the Emperor. “Lord Vader, this is unexpected, but a surprise to be sure.” And as both Vader and Alia draw their Lightsabers, Palpatine realizes what’s happening and unleashes a storm of force lightning. Together they destroy the Emperor. What they do next is bring Luke into the fold. Leia convinces Luke to join their father to bring order to the galaxy and to make the Empire a force for good. Luke joins his sister and their father. Emperor Vader with his children Darth Zhoun and Darth Alia. Han would join them and become Leia’s admiral. Han was hesitant at first, but Leia has seduced Han. The Imperial Royal Family reigns over the Galaxy and peace, justice and order has been restored to the galaxy.

As for Kylo Ren. Darth Ira. Ira is latin for rage. Or since Kylo lives in the shadow of Vader he could be  Darth Noctus. Another name for rage that would suit Kylo would be Darth Vicion, as his vicious nature. He fully embraced the dark side in TLJ. Remember in ROTJ what the Emperor said? “Strike me down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete.” Luke hesitated, Kylo did not. When faced with the opportunity to kill Snoke, he took it. He was faced with the opportunity for redemption and returning to his family, he chose power and the throne. So let’s say Kylo chooses to abandon his old title. “Kylo Ren is dead, a foolish child trying to be Darth Vader, from his ashes something new arises, Darth Ira, Supreme Leader of the First Order and Dark Lord of the Sith” Kylo would then offer Rey to join him or die with the Resistance.  Rather than the pointless force grab in the throne room, a real fight between Kylo and Rey. Kylo wins and cuts Rey’s hand off and leaves her to die on the Supremacy.(she escapes of course) And thus begins Darth Ira’s rise as the Sith Lord of the galaxy. 

And finally Rey. Darth Solitudis” Solitudis, after the loneliness she endured all her life, a despair she will delight in making her enemies feel. For story purposes, lets say the throne room scene happens differently. Snoke knows who Rey truly is. Snoke will reveal that Rey was an experiment by Palpatine on his lab on Jakku. The people who she thought were her parents were just random junkers who sold her for a ship. Snoke manipulates Rey into joining him. “The belonging you always sought all your life, was by my side. Strike Kylo Ren, as you should have on Starkiller Base and take your place as my apprentice.” We have a fight that feels real and a fight we care about because we know these characters and not faceless guards who do not just die. But as we believe it’s going to go down as it was in ROTJ, Rey kills Kylo Ren and becomes Snoke’s new apprentice. “You have done well, my apprentice, heir to Palpatine, daughter of darkness. Hence forth, you shall be known as Darth Solitudis” Rey will make the Galaxy feel the loneliness and despair she felt all her life. Only Finn can bring her back to the light or stop her if he must.

Padme Amidala as a Sith Lord would be the Jedi’s worst nightmare

Galactic Empire/Sith/Dark!Padme Amidala

I’m honestly so freaking proud of this cause I haven’t done something this in depth in a long time and I’m so happy I was inspired to do so. Here’s the reference photo I used and her makeup/eyes was inspired Natalie Portman in Black Swan.

The Dark Inside | lordxvader

She couldn't deny the fact she she felt a slight change in her husband's behavior. For some reason, he was afraid of her death. She couldn't blaim him, even more after losing his mother that way. Clearly he blamed himself for not being capable to save her. His fear of losing his loved one was totally understandable.

But even with his change of behavior, she couldn't believe when she knew about his fall to the dark side. Would he be able to do such things only to save her life for a supposed future death? Even being Obi-Wan who told her, she wouldn't believe until she talk to Anakin himself.

He still was her husband and love. He still was the Anakin she knew, right? She told herself clinging in the hope that all would be well. Whatever he did, she knew he was thinking the best for both of them, she couldn't abandon him when all his fears involved losing her. What would become of him if he really lose her?

She traveled to Mustafar as fast as she can, hoping to reach Anakin before anyone. She needed a talk with him, understand his reasons, listen to his side. If he really fell to the dark side.

"Anakin?", was the first word she said after leaving the ship
