History Fanfic / DarthVaderHeroOfNaboo

* JerkassHasAPoint:
** Darth Vader is a Sith Lord who makes his points bluntly, but that doesn't mean he's incorrect.
** Vader and Sidious both mentally facepalm when Padme refers to Vader as "Darth," thinking that's his first name.

Compare ''Fanfic/TheDesertStorm'', another ''Star Wars'' fanfic that involves an Original Trilogy character accidentally traveling back in time. The fic is now complete, and is planned to be the first in a series of fanfics that follow the prequel trilogy's events, heavily altered by the time displaced Vader's presence. The first sequel of the aptly named "Vaderline Trilogy", ''Fanfic/DarthVaderShatteredGalaxy'', has been posted.

Beginning with Vader preparing to [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack set a trap for Luke Skywalker on Bespin]], the dark lord suddenly finds himself on Naboo during the [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Trade Federation blockade.]] Confused, but ever adaptable, Vader fights his way through the battle droids and convinces Qui-Gon and company to give him a ride off the planet. From there, things change drastically, as Vader is determined not to make the same mistakes he did the first time around.

** [[spoiler:Rune Haako. After Nute Gunray flies off the deep end, Rune Haako ultimately decides that enough is enough and shoots him in self-defense. He also attempted to save some of Gunray's prisoners prior to killing Gunray, and makes it abundantly clear that he hated Darth Sidious even if he has to respect the now-dead Sith lord's intelligence.]]

--->'''Shmi:''' He's you, isn't he? You see... who you used to be, in Annie, don't you?

** Zigzagged with Plagueis. On the one hand, the Sith lord gives Vader his express permission to butcher any and all Sith agents (or [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]]) within the Trade Federation if they do anything detrimental to the Sith cause in the future. On the other hand, under his public persona of Hego Damask, he generally treats his employees well and makes sure they are happy and well-paid...all in the interest of [[PragmaticVillainy keeping up appearances]], of course.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Darth Plagueis sees no problem in making an alliance with Darth Vader. Unlike most villains who do this, it's not just words- he doesn't like the Rule of Two and is genuinely interested in making alliances.

* HourglassPlot: Darth Vader, one of the most feared Sith Lords, for all his power, was nothing more than a puppet to Palpatine and only freeing himself [[spoiler: moments before his own sacrifice to save his son]]. Yet in this new timeline, [[spoiler: the puppeteer has become the puppet, with Vader anticipating and exploiting the weakness of the one he used to call master and led him to his demise]]. On another note, for the first time ever, Darth Vader is finally free, chained to nothing and no one and free to act out of his own accord. It's a good thing that, for all his desire to stay to the Dark Side and even freely admit that he's a Sith, he's more dedicated to legitimately doing good and righting the wrongs of the past, even if he himself doesn't necessarily get to experience he once had.
