The REAL villains journey

So after the CLS event, the forums have been flooded with ideas of a darkside journey. The main idea I've seen is having a journey end with Anakin turning to Vader and getting a red eyed version of him.
While Vader is the major antagonist of the original series, the villain of the series is clearly Palpatine.

So my idea would be to focus on Palpatine.. but in reverse.

- We start with EP and RG vs Vader and Luke, the last we see of Palpatine

- Then move to a general fight of the Empire pitting EP, Vader and other Empire toons vs a Rebel Squad

- Now we're at order 66, and we have Darth Sidious vs Yoda

- Then we pit DS, Anakin and RG vs Mace and Kit

- And for the final tier, well, have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? Upon completing this tier, the player unlocks Plagueis at 7*.
I'd like him to be a completely support character like Hermit Yoda, but when lowered under 50% health his support basic changes to an attack as he hated lightsaber duels and only used one when he was forced to. But I'll leave his abilities to you guys to think about.

Obviously this event would really be for high level players, I just thought it'd be a fun event and a fun way to unlock a cool character.

    This idea is great but I would prefer The vilain's journey, starting with Anakin Skywalker killing Tsuken, then killing Windu, then killing younglings with Clones at his side, then fighting and loosing against GK, becoming Vader and killing Obi wan, having the Death star fight in his ship, fighting CLS and winning this fight, fight him again, loosing and killing EP.

    All of this to get Darth Vador (Mustafar version) in human form, before he gets damaged by GK, with power filling him. This would go with a complete EP rework and RG as well. How my my, that would be such a juicy rework I would love to crush those LS chars after months and months of Luke's Meta (Yes, months and months because I see that it will last at least 4/5 months and that's a bare minimum).


    Yeaa... NO.


    You get all juiced up for Commander Luke?


    I believe they actually do... Such a shame a non jedi rebel get that powerful considering he's just an apprentice of the Force, how powerful would he be when ROTJ Luke eventually come out ?


    Nope, long ago, I realised that this game is far from making any "lore" wise sense, so yea, some characters are more powerful than the others, just cut it out, there wont be any balanace that would make sense in game...
    And Anakins journey ? Really ? Come on.


    Why wouldn’t Anakin’s journey to the dark side be an interesting way to introduce a new character?


    A- we have jedi knight anakin.
    B- we have vader, his final form.
    Plus there are dozens of great characters to add then duplicates from different timelines...


    We have a version of Anakin. The light side version. We’ve got 4 Hans and will probably get 4 Lukes but you’re drawing the line at getting 2 versions of the main antagonist in the series? Ok.


    Im against any duplicates in general so yes, im drawing the line there, especially we have two versions of anakin, "mid journey" and the "final form" would u want to unlock padawan anakin thats useless and less powerful than both we have now ? Or the one with yellow eyes, stronger than jka but weaker than vader ? ... How you see his "journey" ? Tell me, am I missing something there ? Just tell me your ideas for anakins journey, I might like it and change my mind, but as it is for now, Anakins journey would succ.


    You being “against” duplicate characters hasn’t stopped the onslaught of light side dupes, so... ok. The devs clearly are NOT against duplicates and that’s what matters.

    His journey to the DS is well documented in 3 movies you may or may not have seen: Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. There are several scenes in there that could be adapted to the game. You should check those movies out, by the way. https://i.imgur.com/x3fAwbh.jpg


    I don’t see the current JKA as part of his transition to the DS, he’s the JKA from the Clone Wars.


    You're trying to be sarcastic, but you gave no actual response to my comment, hence I think that you have no idea how his "journey" would work, as we have middle journey version and the end journey one. Still cant get it what made you think that I had not seen prequels...


    I’m not going to organize and detail an entire event here, Hoss. I’m suggesting that the developers do it because there is significant interest in it and many players would like to see a Darth Vader before the suit character.

    How do I see his Journey ?

    1.Start with Qui Gon facing Maul and dying
    2.then Anakin vs Zam (you would just need Anakin to get him in his "ship" on Corrusant chasing her
    3. then killing tsuken after finding her dead mother
    4. then fighting Dooku in a dual stage : first in the cave on Geonosis, second on Grievous' Ship rescuing Palpatine.
    5. Fighting Mace to save his master on stage 1, killing younglings and jedi with clones at his side on stage two.
    6. fighting against Obi-Wan with the Darth Vader (Mustafar Version) and unlocking him at the end.

    Because Sith Anakin totally deserves higher-than-legendary status.

    Please, we have pre and post-suit anakin. He can be a Marquee or legendary but not exclusive.

    No way - here's why:

    1. Qui Gon and Maul's battle had little to nothing to actually do with Anakin
    2. Anakin vs. Zam in chase - this would imply that Anakin would then be locked into a Coruscant speeder as his "ship" rather than any Jedi Starfighter - which a lot of people would be upset about (including myself)
    3. Killing tuskens - possibly but this would be Padawan Anakin - so already we are looking at another Anakin.
    4. Fighting Dooku - again Padawan Anakin
    5. Fighting GG, Mace works.


    All of the stages I describe are leading to the fact he went to the Dark Side. Qui Gon would have been a more flexible master than Obi-Wan, and when I mention this ship, it was only for the event, not for the Ship's battle. Obviously, you can't fight in space with it.
    The rest of it leads to his path to the DS.

    Revan establishes the sith rule of two... negating it will basicly nullify every star wars movie ever made... so no revan = no sith lords after him... so no darth bane, zannah, tenebrous, plagueius, palpatine, vader etc...

    In a roundabout way no revan means the mandalorians probably would have overun the republic and after subjugating the republic, they probably would have hunted the remaining jedi & sith down like predators hunt aliens... for sport. And SW universe would be a vastly diffrent than it is currently... so revan & nihlus really cannot be removed from canon.

    Umm correct me if im wrong but, wasnt bane the one who established the rule of two?
    @Loose_Lee


    Yes bane ultimately implemented it... after learning about it from his research into revans teachings on a sith holocron, which also supposedly made its way over time into palpatines possession...or at least a partial copy of revans original holocrom that bane gained possession of.

    Without revan doing this bane wouldnt have gained the deep wisdom & insight into the force on such a macro scale to implement the rule of two.

    Not sure on the whole reverse thing tbh
    Plagueis being in the game is very unlikely imo, although it would be cool theres no design for him that is canon.

    Villians journey should be the journey that progresses to that character same as Luke progressed to being a Commander.


    I agree with this and so i think we should get a Young Darth Sidious/ Senator/Chancellor Palpatine, that can act as a Republic Character but is mainly designed to act together with Sith/Separatists. Also i think he should be a support, somehow like a DS Hermit Yoda, of course a bit more offensive and of course he needs Anti-Jedi-Synergies...

    It gives you anger, hatred, which fuels the dark side on you. Might end up throwing your phone on the wall, but that is part of life.
