What if Mace Windu Executed Order 65 after Palpatine Revealed Himself

what if Mace Windu executed order 65 after Palpatine revealed himself let's explore the depths of it in the video as mace and the Strike Team make their way through the halls of the Senate building the Jedi Master's mind is focused solely on the chancellor and how they must stop him now the more he thinks of what anan's report says the more convinced he is that the opportunity to stop him is fleeting but suddenly Kit Fisto pauses Master Wu perhaps we're going about this the wrong way what do you mean we must stop the chancellor I know it's just that he has been out maneuvering us this entire war no matter what we do he is one step ahead of us because he knows how the Jedi act so perhaps it is time to do something he doesn't expect mace frowns and considers these words carefully part of him wants to press on ahead but maybe that's what the chancellor is expecting him to do he sees Fisto's point the chancellor is nothing if not cunning and he has been able to predict his moves he thinks what is the last thing Palpatine would expect and suddenly scowls all right come with me he redirects the small group into the Senate chambers where countless Senators have gathered to discuss the developments in the war they are surprised to see mace Wu approaching especially when he reaches out and begins playing Hollow records these were provided to him by Anakin and show off his conversations with Palpatine where the chancellor openly reveals his connections with the Sith the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some considered to be unnatural as the video plays gasps ripple from the crowds but mace raises his hands members of the Senate you have just seen the truth for yourselves the chancellor you trust is no more than a Sith Lord Darth cidus this man has been manipulating into war I urge the Senate to take action immediately the Senate erupts into confusion and outrage as a dozen arguments emerge at once many shout their support but others seem more reluctant to follow but one Senator steps forward this is beyond mere treason but fortunately for you my people have prepared for such an event it was written into the Clone Army instructions should the Supreme Chancellor become compromised through treason or incapacity the G is authorized to Execute Order 65 removing the Chancellor from Power by force if necessary order 65 very well with the army with us we can apprehend the chancellor this is treason the chancellor has led us through War we cannot overthrow him L us or orchestrated it enough we have the means now it only remains to be seen if the Senate has the will to act the votes begin filling the chamber with bright flashing lights Senator after Senator enters their votes into the system after a long tense pause the results flash on the massive Hollow display majority in favor of executing order 65 I will relay the instructions to the Senate the Army stands with you with the its approval and the Clones backing them mace leads his group into Palpatine's office with renewed confidence he's accompanied by Kit Fisto aen khar and ccen as they enter the room they ready their lightsabers your time is up Chancellor the Senate has voted you've lost lost no master Jedi it is you who are about to lose everything Palpatine's hand moves with imp possible speed from beneath his robe a red blade ignites and he lunges forward Ma's Violet blade intercepts Palpatine's strike as shock waves Ripple across the room the Jedi follow and ignite their own lightsabers as they surround him Palpatine whirls his weapon around against them he moves with unnatural speed a blur of crimson and Shadow as the Jedi clows in on him aen colar is too close and parries the first blow but the second slices through him kitfisto tries to close the gap and presses his attack he starts to swing aggressively trying to push Palpatine back but none of his lightsaber Strokes land as the chancellor moves within human speed and Palpatine drives his lightsaber through his stomach mace swings his lightsaber in a furious Arc the death of his comrades fueling him as he presses the attack his Fury builds inside him and Palpatine has a bit more trouble dealing with mace as he must Retreat under the onslaught CC charges in from the side trying to flank Palpatine but the Sith Lord anti iates it without breaking his engagement with Wu Palpatine sends a blast of Force lightning from his free hand the blue tendrils of energy slam into CeCe throwing him across the room and into the far wall with a sickening crunch the floor trembles beneath them as the force rips through the air mace digs into his anger charging it up rather than holding it in he lets it flare true to his VAP pad style he Springs forward and rushes at Palpatine letting him match him attack for attack his strikes coming faster and harder the two lock Sabers their faces inches apart Palpatine sneering as sparks fly from the clashing blades Palpatine thrusts his hand forward again using a torrent of Force lightning mace grimaces as he raises his saber but the energy bounces off his lightsaber and he deflects it and throws it aside sending Sparks across the ground mace stands only through sheer willpower now that he's through he kicks Palpatine and sends the dark lord staggering back Ma's lightsaber arcs through the air leaving Palpatine barely able to bring up his saber to block but this defense is only temporary as mace comes back at him again and slices his Hilt causing the lightsaber to begin shorting out the Chancellor's eyes widen as he looks at his lightsaber starting to fade it's over you've lost Do It Strike me down Jedi fulfill your destiny for a split second the air thick with tension mace hesitates but then plunges his saber into Palpatine's body the dark lord gasps as his life drains from his eyes and then drops to the ground as mace stands over him he takes a deep breath and watches his clones rush into the building to secure it led by Commander Fox it's done inform the Senate tell them yourselves General Wu you've been summoned by the Senate what before he can reply the Clones Point their blasters at him Fox himself reaches for his weapons sir the Senate is most insistent he glances around but then deactivates his weapon and nods Fox takes it from him and they escort him to the senate floor more clones and several Jedi have gathered including Anakin Skywalker but at the center of the floor are mam Ma and Admiral Tarkin who were ordering the Senate to calm down order order speaker what is the meaning of this master it seems you have gone beyond your power you were ordered to apprehend the chancellor not kill him I assumed my mission was to restore order for the Republic which is why we needed Palpatine alive for the investigation forgive me it was difficult to remember that in the ensuing battle unfortunately what's done is done and now we must proceed to Less Pleasant business the second reason why we've brought you here is to discuss the Jedi standing with the war drawing to a close the Senate insists that the Jedi relinquish the command over the military speaker with all due respect the separatists are far from defeated we cannot afford to weaken our defenses by pulling back now the Jedi were never intended to lead military campaigns Master Wu you are peacekeepers are you not the Senate believes it is time for you to return to that original mandate they have been suitably weakened and we believe the Clone Commanders can handle the war effort we have fought alongside the Clones LED them through battles because fighting in this war is precisely what is required to keep the peace without the Jedi the Republic would have crumbled long ago under the separatist Onslaught the Senate chamber is filled with murmurs Senators glance at one another some nodding in agreement with Wu's words but others looking increasingly skeptical perhaps before but things have changed this recent development has shown how much the Republic must change Perhaps it is time we change our leadership and Society before it becomes corrupted that is why many in the Senate fear that the Jedi Order has become too militarized that you have drifted away from your role as peacekeepers just as the chancellor Master just because the chancellor was a Sith Lord does not make everything he said invalid perhaps his distrust of the Jedi was not simply an ideological difference mace glares at the Admiral but Anakin steps forward we understand the Senate's worries but perhaps we could have some time to discuss this and organize a proper transition let the Jedi Council meet in return with a proposal within a week that is acceptable Master Skywalker this Senate will await the Jedi order's decision as the Jedi departs they return to the temple to discuss the matters while Tarkin is correct that they are peacekeepers they know that he was close with Palpatine and that this might be his way of Paving the way for Palpatine's plans but under him however they see that he has many supporters in the Senate who are willing to back him if they refuse more importantly he still has control of the army as the Clones will likely obey him this puts them in possible position as the Jedi must choose whether to agree with their demands or try and resist tensions Run High in the Jedi Temple as the Jedi Knights and Masters discuss what to do it is perhaps the only Silver Lining of this Anakin has granted a permanent seat on the council to replace ccine after his actions in exposing Palpatine mace can find no reason to distrust him and they begin planning what to do next the first thing they agree on is to send the Younglings and padawans Away in preparation for bloodshed Yoda handles their evacuation and searches for a place to hide them Unfortunately they cannot hide the knights or Masters without raising suspicion so they must remain behind meanwhile the acting Chancellor mamada and Admiral Tarkin are continuing their plan even without Palpatine they know what the chancellor had planned for the Republic and worked to establish the Empire but under their rule one of the first things they do is propose replacing the Clone Army with a conscript Force the recent deposition of Palpatine makes for the perfect reason as Tarkin plays up how the Clones mindlessly turned against the chancelor with the activation of one order he questions the camans and how many more secret orders they have instead he insists conscripts will be less easily swayed Tarkin also proposes that mamata be granted the same emergency Powers as Palpatine as the war has not yet ended and the Brewing Jedi crisis only grows worse the Senate agrees to this putting even more pressure on the Jedi but with all this happening they receive a coded transmission requesting they meet outside the Senate building promising to have valuable information Anakin and mace decide to meet this stranger they head into the dark alley at the foot of the Senate building their hands never leaving their lightsabers as they Pace the ground impatiently suddenly a figure appears from the shadows and they see Senator Hal whose slender neck cranes around nervously thank you for coming time is short you need to know what mamada and Taren are planning we're listening Senator they're consolidating power the Senate has already agreed to Grant a matter the same emergency Powers Palpatine held but that's not all they plan to strike at the CIS Council and end the war once the war is over they'll claim the Republic no longer needs you why are you helping us because it's not just the Jedi they are planning on replacing they also intend to replace the Clone Army with a conscript Force I have an idea I might know where the CIS council is Palpatine was suggesting I take them out before I turn against him if we can get them first get them to surrender to us then it would be a lot harder for the Republic Senate to sideline us it is risky but we must tread carefully I can deactivate the Clones in his inhibited chips too it should make it harder to control the she suddenly screams as a blaster bolt bursts from her chest shouting can be heard from the alleyway as the corusant guard appears firing blasters of the two Anakin and mace both ignite their lightsabers and block the oncoming shots Anakin rushes forward throwing himself into the center of the group and Swinging his lightsaber to destroy their weapons before throwing them aside but as he takes the first group out more arrive while a gunship flies overhead mace face es down the gunship and leaps aside as it fires its turrets at him he rolls aside and sweeps his hand out letting the force take its aim off balance while Anakin blocks the clone's attacks he tries to get in close and begins using his hands punching and kicking the guards to knock them out he glances back at mace just as the ship adjusts its aim and fires Anakin leaps up and blocks the attack redirecting it towards the wing and sending the gunship falling to the ground we need to move now the two Jedi deactivate their lightsabers and hurry down the streets as chaos follows more clones pour in but the two leap past them each time a guard gets too close they sweep him aside while using the force to knock their aim off guard however the hollow vid of Mace and Anakin fighting their way through the chorus on guard is recorded by their Captain who sends it to the acting Chancellor the footage is doctored to make the Jedi appear as the aggressors before being shown to the Senate as the video ends the Senate erupt into angry shouts and cries for justice Tarkin standing beside mazam mat keeps his expression cool but his eyes flicker with satisfaction we must act swiftly I propose we send a military force to storm the Jedi Temple and disarm them before they can do any further harm the Senate already rattled by the footage quickly rallies behind the proposal although some like borana and Padme try to calm the situation they are quickly shouted down and a decision is made the Jedi will no longer be a threat to the Republic it's time to secure our future despite that the Jedi now have a plan they have two Targets Camino and Mustafar Mace will meet with Lamas Su to demand the deactivation of the inhibitor chips while Anakin will demand the surrender of the CIS Council the sun rises over corusant mace Wu and Anakin Skywalker stand beside their starf Fighters prepar in for their separate missions I've redirected obiwan to Mustafar to try and support you meanwhile Ahsoka and Yoda will remain here to organize the defenses sounds good May the force be with you Mace Skywalker wait before you go I need to say something Anakin turns his brow furrowed as he meets mesa's gaze I would like to say thank you for everything you've done I was wrong about you I shouldn't have doubted your loyalty to the Jedi you've proven yourself time and time again thank you master Wu I've only ever wanted to serve the Republic we're about to perform the greatest service try not to get yourself killed same to you master they bow before each other before boarding their star Fighters and departing for their separate destinations when Anakin arrives on Mustafar he finds a familiar figure waiting for him just out of sight from the centuries Obi-Wan removes his hood and helps Anakin out of his starf fighter you didn't waste any time getting here I'm glad you can smile given the circumstances I sense you could use someone to keep you in line Anakin laughs but they both understand the seriousness of their situation and prepare themselves as they make their way inside the massive Command Center inside the CIS council is in chaos n gunray watt tumor and other separatist leaders argue among themselves as they stare at the hollow map with Republic forces advancing on all fronts for many they believe defeat is only a matter of time as the Republic closes in suddenly the heavy doors burst open Anakin and Obi-Wan step inside their cloaks billowing lightsabers unlit but at the ready nude gun ray screams and jumps back behind his guards who ready their blasters but Anakin raises his hand and shakes his head we're not here to kill you not yet we've come to negotiate terms if you surrender now and agree to only negotiate with the Jedi we may be able to offer concessions guarantee your lives that is a most unusual request why would the Jedi demand such things if they speak for the Republic you are trying to trick us I assure you we are not here to trick anyone we want to end this war peacefully I don't believe you you're hiding something others nod in agreement starting to stand behind the Viceroy as their guards stand in suddenly Anakin draws his lightsaber and slashes it across the table slicing a portion off enough you have two choices surrender now and live or die when the next Republic forces arrive and they won't offer terms the gesture scares most of the leaders who look up in shock wondering what just happened but they quickly quiet down and murmur amongst themselves just then the doors to the Command Center blasts open a squad of clone commandos storms in weapons drawn but rather than Point them at the CIS Council they take aim at the Jedi get behind us the council Scurry behind the Jedi protectors as their guards open fire the clone commandos and their support troops return fire turning the large Command Center into a Battleground guards move to cover their leaders kicking up tables and chairs or ushering them to cover meanwhile obiwan and Anakin deflect Blaster fire as they fend off waves of clones although the guards are not as well trained the Jedi presence rallies them and allows them to hold their ground in a flurry of movement Anakin spins slicing through a commando's blaster Obi-Wan leaps forward disarming another but rather than back down the Commandos ignite Electro stabs we were told we might have counted Jedi rather than attack directly the two cross their stabs and launch an electric current around Anakin who screams in pain this allows a third to jam his staff forward into his chest the force of the blow sends Anakin flying back Obi-Wan rushes to his side and helps him blocking their next few attacks but feels himself getting surrounded as one strikes at his side he wines and throws the Commando back with the force this leaves two Commandos to deal with while the fourth brushes past him and leaps up to slam his staff down on anakan the young Jedi shakes off his confusion just in time to roll aside from the blow he kicks the Commando and staggers him just as he gets to his feet by the time he's standing the Commando was back on him sweeping his staff in wide arcs that send sparks flying this is meant to keep Anakin back but the young Jedi isn't intimidated as the next swing comes Anakin catches the staff in his mechanical hand although he feels a sudden shock he Powers through it and slams his fist against the commando's head channeling the force to strengthen the blow and knocking him out Anakin snatches his Blaster and Fires at one of the Commandos battling Obi-Wan with only one of the elite soldiers left the Jedi Master goes on the offensive his lightsaber slashes furiously and forces the trooper into a corner as he raises his staff Obi-Wan slams the hilt of his lightsaber down on his arm and pins him against the wall before raising a hand over the commando's face and suddenly he doubles over falling unconscious with the rest of the Clones dealt with the council members cower behind the Jedi terrified but unsure whether to trust them or fear them you see what's coming for you surrender now or next time there will be no negotiations meanwhile the situ ation on corusant is not going well the Army masam sent is bearing down on the temple and the Jedi inside have been besieged for several days it's only thanks to Ahsoka and Yoda that the temple was able to last this long as their careful organization had allowed the Jedi to hold off the assault but the corusant guard is making slow but steady progress into the temple and they are right on the verge of breaking through Yoda and Ahsoka are in the thick of the action with the most experienced Knights deflecting Blaster fire and disarming clones who get too close however their numbers are endless and their small group slowly begins to give ground but as they are about to retreat the Clones pause as well a wave of confusion ripples through their ranks as they look around at one another suddenly Yoda feels his hollow disc rattling and reveals a transmission from Mace Windu attention all close you have been misled by the Senate who have used inhibitor chips but now I give you a chance to decide for yourselves if you do not agree with what is happening return to your barracks but if you do there is little we can do to stop you the Clones stare back at them and refuse dropping their weapons and bowing down shortly after Anan and Obi-Wan return with the CIS Council who agreed to negotiate with the Jedi with their role as peacekeepers strengthened and the news from lavas Su that inhibitor chips were activated the Jedi goes on the offense with their allies accusing and masam of abusing their powers like Palpatine Padme calls for a snap election in which borana wins who drops the charges against the Jedi and begins negotiating a peace settlement with the CIS through the Jedi that's our Theory the Star Wars universe
