In the Xbox/PS2 versions of ‘Revenge of the Sith’ (2005) by LucasArts, players can unlock an alternate ending where Anakin defeats Obi-Wan on Mustafar—then betrays and kills Sidious to become ruler of the galaxy

    My favorite ending and a fucking great game.

    And everyone just forgets about the mortally wounded, pregnant Padme.

    “NO! The galaxy belongs to ME!”

    I always enjoyed movie/franchise tie-in games that gave alternate endings/timelines. Matrix: Path of Neo ends and the dev explains that it doesn’t make great game-material, so here’s a silly fight against Kaiju-Smith.

    Old LucasArts games had some awesome what if scenarios in them. Force Unleashed probably had a personal favourite of mine.

    At the end you can choose to either fight Palpatine and save the fledgeling rebellion, or you can kill Vader and have your revenge. Kill Vader and then you get back to the throne room right as Palpatine finishes up zapping the rebel leaders. Palpatine nearly kills you and makes you his replacement Vader.

    Queue the DLC, which sees you as Palpatine’s new apprentice mopping up the remaining rebels. Killing Obi-Wan on Tattooine and turning Luke to the dark side on Hoth.

    I loved that game , even tho it was clunky AF (most ps2 games were expect like Dark CLoud 2 or RE4)

    why dont they remaster this beautiful title. Amazing game

    It would have been cool if they had one more level after this where Anakin tracks down Yoda and you’ve got to fight the grandmaster himself. That would have been a great final boss

    I miss this era of Star Wars games.

    “I am Anakin Skywalker. I was created to bring order and justice to the Empire. With the power of these dark side Force powers, I’m going to DESTROY this damn planet. This is WHO I AM!”

    This was THE definitive Star war game for me (a prequel baby) as a kid. Dunno how many times I played through just wanting more

  12. takeitsweazy

    This is the game that spoiled the movie.

  13. rageslimshady

    How do you get this ending? I feel like I played it a kajillion times and never got that one

  14. CourierFive

    Never played those so I gotta ask. Where is Padme? Is she safe? Is she alright?

    I always love the “Alternate endings” in Star Wars games. I think adaptions that stay too truthful are silly. I *know* that story. I want a different one.

    I particularly loved the DLC from Force Unleashed. Where it explored killing Vader and taking his place.

    Man this takes me back to the time when my dad always kicked my ass in PvP.

    RIP dad miss u

    Man… I hate how many posts recently are just a screenshot of something, and someone describing the thing they are discussing. Post a [link to a video](https://youtube.com/watch?v=4EtCGR2M_oU) on what you’re describing instead of spending the time writing it out in text. It isn’t that hard

    In vs mode, Darth vader had force lightning too. It was pretty sick. Edit: anakin, not vader specifically

  19. Didact67

    It’s cool, but I don’t think Anakin’s immediate betrayal of Sidious makes a whole lot of sense.

  20. CMDR_omnicognate

    i can only assume if that happened the “empire” would collapse almost immediately. Anakin/Vader was a good warrior but he would have had no idea on how to be a political leader.

    Battlefront franchise deserved so much better, ea is such a plague to gaming

  22. Thorpedor

    I remember playing that on my PS2! It was one of my favourite games back then. The coop mode was amazing

  23. bijelo123

    One of my first PS2 games.When I got that ending I was shocked, great twist

  24. mighty_mag

    This game is available on current Xbox consoles for the equivalent of 10 bucks… is it worth it in 2025?

    I don’t really have any special nostalgia feelings towards Revenge of the Sith. I mean, I watched the movie on theaters and the best thing I remember back in those days was the Cartoon Network Clone Wars cartoon.

    That looks a lot more like JD Vance than Ewan McGregor to me.

  26. Silvertongued99

    The force unleashed game had a Hoth DLC, where you take on Luke Skywalker as Starkiller and then convince him to be your Sith apprentice. What a great game.

    Remember playing this as a child thinking I beat the game when defeated Anakin as Obi Wan, and then being mine blown when there was more. pretty cool alternative ending to a 10 year old lol
