If I Wrote A Darth Vader story, what Timeline Interests you most?
Premise: This is a SI + Vader fusion, kind of like a similar personality for Vader Unleashed. Ultimately, the basic plot is for Vader to train Luke, and amass his forces in secret to overthrow the Emperor. In this scenario, Obi-Wan/Yoda would train Leia, and possibly be more proactive in gathering the Jedi/Rebels. Each timeline has Vader perpetuate the Rebellion, so that he has a smokescreen for his shenanigans.
Option A: 19 BBY basically the 1st year as Darth Vader. He still has to kill his 1st Jedi, and forge his red lightsaber. (Personally this is my least fav option, but I could make it work.)
Option B: 3 BBY, takes place immediately after Vader stabs Starkiller, and fake kills him in front of Palpatine. Includes SW Rebels content too.
Option C: The second Vader steps into the Tantive IV, our MC becomes Vader. He gets Luke right off the bat, and "accidentally" lets Leia/Obi-Wan destroy the Death Star.
I'm not saying I'm writing this theoretical story, but if Uzumaki Survival or Keep it Brief (the DBZ) story gets voted out, I wanna prep a little for the next side story that could replace a time slot. (I also just wrote a killer Vader chapter in Jedi Insurgency, and realized I might be a bit of a Vader fanboy).

Man, that is certainly a hardfought tie, lol. What u gonna do, karp?
Option B works best. Wanna see Starkiller too! :D Vergil really explained it best though. Option B gives us the best of everything.
I’m not interested in another Star Wars SI tbh. Any chance we can get a fantasy setting?
I think there have been too many darth Vader stories and it's a played out prompt.
Personally I think B or C is the best option. I like B because it immediately gives Vader someone who's an great opposite to his personality in Galen to talk to and advanced their story and characters. It also would be very cool to have a story where Galen and Luke are competing with each other to prove their worthiness to be Vader's apprentice out of fear of being discarded. On the other hand, I like C because it's obviously a very iconic starting point and it gives the interesting situation where Vader could technically capture both of his children really early into the story, short of some Flashpoint level ripple effect. But since you said Leia would be trained reguardless of scenario I don't think it would have the same impact as a starting point because we know she would escape.
With option c you could justify vaders return to the lightside with the discovery of his children
Of the 3 I'd definitely prefer C. NGL I sorta dislike including Starkiller though, bro is hardcore EU Star Wars in power scale.
Palpatine and Vader are stronger than he is in the EU though
Also this premise doesn't sound very interesting. Maybe if you took elements from DBZ and cross them over with Naruto. That would be pretty interesting. I was thinking something like a game store where the main character could just buy items or techniques from the xenoverse market from the games and just started out as some random villager from the land of tea or rice or something. That would be a real interesting idea to me.
I still don't know what the DBZ story is about you haven't told me all week and you said you would tell me next week and that was last week.
Tomorrow is "next week." You'll read it tomorrow, lol.
