They fixed that in the second season (?), Children of Dune, while retaining all the good parts of the first season. Gave the whole thing a suitably Biblical theme, considering it revolves around the rise of the eponymous God-Emperor, Leto II Atreides, and the beginning of the Golden Path...

A part of me wants to be angry, as a long-time Sith partisan and SWTOR player...but I'm too old and mature for that, so I will just laugh, since it really is hilarious :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Qui-Gon's Force Ghost: *disappointed tone* "My congratulations, on succeeding Palpatine as Emperor...of the first Galactic Empire, I believe he called it." Darth Vader: *side-eyes Qui-Gon* "Emperor? Empire? I won't betray Padme's ideals like he did...but the Republic needs firm leadership...

Except in this scenario, he would still have his children. He succeeded in 'saving' at least the latter, as in the original vision it seemed like they all died together. And he might still have saved her too, if not for the Jedi twisting her mind against him. Basically, for Vader, it's always...

Mas Amedda would be Supreme Chancellor, albeit a puppet one. Vader would be Supreme Commander, originally an office also held by the Supreme Chancellor at the start of the Clone Wars, but precedent exists for it to be held by someone else besides the Chancellor. Revan, for example, held the...

For a given value of ‘better’, of course. Vader’s Republic is practically a Greek tyranny, only with very good PR and good goals, but ultimately a military dictatorship. The Senate is kept in line by fear of Clone Troopers cracking down on any dissent, to say nothing of Vader’s personal power in...

Well, people will still need to work to eat, slavery ending doesn't change that, but I imagine Vader's going to set a strict policy against any abuses, again, because the Republic is supposed to be liberating and helping these people. Not simply replacing one set of masters with another. I...

More thoughts on why I think an unburnt Vader would prefer to maintain the form of democracy instead of ruling as an autocrat: he wants to see himself as a hero. Assuming the title of Emperor would leave a bitter taste in his mouth, as if he just vindicates all those stories and history lessons...

I'd give it a decade, at most. Probably less, maybe even as early as once Sidious has dealt with Yoda, and before he has a chance to recover (or prepare contingencies to resurrect himself), Vader appears and cuts him down. Mas Amedda immediately tries to curry favor ala that fat guy from...

Not much really changes, the Grand Plan's too along to really stop, and this might even give Sidious another way to drive a wedge between Anakin and the Order. That is, the Chancellor wanted him to be the one to deal with Grievous, only for the High Council to override the Chancellor, and send...

Eh, Sith ghosts being hostile to living Sith is pretty much par the course. If anything, Sidious would have been suspicious if they were all friendly and accepting of him. Instead, their attitude is pretty much what he'd expect, and that he'd have to threaten and bargain his way to getting...

Then I guess it's a good thing I don't give a damn what he thinks anymore. Even without that, it already works in the context of 'there is no death, there is the Force'.

Yeah, the post-Ruusan Order died with the Old Republic, with their successors reverting back to the old ways from before the Ruusan Reformations. Sure, some ultra-orthodox types eventually reared their heads, trying to once again impose age limitations and semi-celibacy rules*, but Luke always...

Actually, Dromund Kaas was known to the Post-Ruusan Jedi Order, and the Jedi Shadows regularly checked the system. So much so, that IIRC, one of Dooku's first acts as Darth Tyranus was to delete Dromund Kaas' location from the Temple archives, along with those of Kamino. Likewise for Ziost's...

Yoda probably knew about Yavin 4, but Obi-Wan might not have, considering the Post-Ruusan Jedi Order's enforced ignorance about the Sith beyond vague warnings and sanitized legends about the past. Hell, now that I think about it, Yoda might not have known either, since he was caught by surprise...
