What if Anakin Skywalker Went Back in Time to Revan’s Sith Empire? Let’s explore the depths of it in the video.
Anakin stares at the ancient temple before him, unsure why he came here and how he even found it. Feeling the force itself pull him here. After weeks of spying on Palpatine, Anakin is grateful for the break from all the politics and nightmares.
He studies the mosaic on the wall, his fingers brushing off the icons of the Father, Son, and Daughter. This touch is enough to activate the powers underneath.
His eyes widen as the images begin to move and a passageway opens up. Taking a deep breath, Anakin wanders inside. But as he ventures inside, the sight that greets him is nothing that he’s ever seen. It is an entire world of space and doorways, with spectral roadways that lead to each portal. There have to be thousands of them.
He sees the images inside and the strange tales they must tell. There’s one of him as a Mandalorian, one where he learns to take away the powers of the Force, and one where he appears to be in hell. These are just a few among the thousands there.
But one portal seems to pull him more than others. Before he realizes it, Anakin steps through and looks beyond. As he walks through, images fill his mind of an ancient Jedi wearing the armor and mask of a Mandalorian.
Anakin barely has time to react as the darkness shifts and reveals a world torn by war. The ground shakes with the rumble of battle while turbolasers light up the night sky, smaller fighters zipping through the air.
He sees soldiers scrambling to and from, trying to fuel fighters or gather weapons, mounting a desperate defense. Though their uniforms are quite different, he recognizes the sigil of the Republic on their uniforms.
Above them, a massive warship looms large, crushing whatever resistance they have to offer. But there are also sounds, a deep voice that echoes from the ship, proclaiming the creation of a Sith Empire.
Anakin’s mind races. He’s heard of this—the Battle of Foerost, where the Sith Empire declared its return by seizing the Republic’s largest shipyard. But he’s not reading it in a Jedi archive now; he’s living it.
Before he can process his surroundings, a squad of Sith troopers rushes toward him, their crimson armor reflecting the fiery glow of distant explosions.
Anakin doesn’t hesitate. His lightsaber ignites with a snap-hiss. He deflects their blaster bolts and cuts through the enemy soldiers.
But it is no use as these are just the opening salvo. Soon, the sky is filled with dropships that deploy fresh troops. Atop one of these crafts, a pair of figures descend, flanked by Sith Acolytes.
One is a bald human with tattooed stripes running across his head. And the other…Anakin freezes at the sight of that Mandalorian armor. The legend himself, the being who brought the galaxy to its knees. Darth Revan.
Revan: A Jedi? I thought they had already wiped them out. What is your name?
Anakin: Anakin. Anakin Skywalker.
Malak: Never heard of him. Must be a padawan. Finish him off and let us get moving.
Revan: Hold a moment, apprentice. I wanna see this.
The Dark Acolytes both ignite their red lightsabers in unison, their twin blades crackling with lethal intent.
Anakin tightens his grip on his saber. He doesn’t speak as they advance on him. As the first acolyte charges, he feigns high and kicks her in the stomach just in time to block the second one's swing. They lock blades until Anakin thrusts his hand out and throws him back with the Force.
As the first recovers, Anakin’s lightsaber is ready and meets them several times. But each time their weapons clash, Anakin feels his confidence growing. Compared to the likes of Ventress, these aren’t nearly as frightening. By the fifth time their swords meet, he twists and lets her momentum carry her and beheads her with the follow-up swing.
The second puts more of a fight, grazing his shoulder, but Anakin manages to rush in close grab him by the throat, and run him through.
Before Anakin can catch his breath, he hears the sound of applause from Revan who chuckles.
Revan: You’re bold to fight alone, but skilled. So perhaps it isn’t recklessness but bravery.
Malak: Still, he’s just another Jedi fool. Let’s finish him off.
Revan: No, there’s something… different about him. His power in the Force is extraordinary. You didn’t come here by accident, did you?”
Anakin doesn’t respond. But Revan simply shrugs and motions for the guards to escort him away.
Malak bristles but doesn’t argue. The troopers close in, binding Anakin’s wrists with energy cuffs. He doesn’t resist, though his mind races.
But instead of taking him to the brig with the other captives, he’s placed in a crew compartment no different than else. As the ship takes off, Anakin receives no visitors save for Revan himself who continues to ask him questions, which Jedi he served under, how long was he stationed there
