What if Anakin Skywalker Left The Jedi Order After Killing Dooku

What if Anakin Skywalker left the Jedi Order after killing Count Dooku? Let's explore the depths of it in the video. Are you all right? You're trembling. What's going on? Something wonderful has happened. Annie, I'm pregnant. [Music] That's what that's what that's wonderful. What are we going to do? I was thinking about it the whole way back here. First, what happened with Dooku. Now we're having a child. Padme, we're going to leave. Anakin, I don't understand. What happened with Dooku? And where will we go? The Chancellor, he he made me kill Dooku. I didn't want to. It wasn't the Jedi way, but something he said to me. It made me lose control. I think this war is making everyone lose themselves. The Chancellor, the Jedi, the Senate, the Republic. That's why we need to leave. Nobody has been able to bring this war to an end. They say I'm the chosen one. Maybe I can. I want you to go to Nibou. You'll be safe there. I have a plan, and I'll meet you there soon. Anakin, I'm sorry you had to experience that. If you think it's for the best, I'll support you through it all. All I want is for our child to grow up safe. Anakin strides with purpose through the Jedi Temple, eager to discuss what happened with Dooku and his decision to leave the order. The council sits in silence. Mace, Wendu, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Kiari Mundi, and Plcun watch as Anakin enters. The tension is immediate, and Anakin walks to the center of the chamber, but he does not kneel. His face is grim. His eyes are steady. You asked to speak with us. I assume it's about Count Dooku. It is. I followed orders. I fought him. I disarmed him. And I killed him anyway. Whispers ripple. Obi-Wan straightened slightly. Yoda's expression darkens. The chancellor ordered it. I hesitated, but in that moment, something snapped in me. And I obeyed. I didn't think. I just reacted. You regret it. I do, but that's not why I'm here. He looks around the chamber, then at the floor. A deep breath. Then I'm leaving the order. Silence. Shock. No one speaks for a moment. Then you're serious. The war has corrupted everything. Even the Chancellor is not out of its reach. The Jedi are no longer peacekeepers. We're generals, politicians, tools. I've tried to believe this was the will of the Force, but I don't anymore. Difficult. The path ahead will be certain, are you? I've never been more certain. I'm not turning my back on peace. I'm turning my back on this. A council that sees me as an unstable weapon instead of a man. On a republic that applauds obedience but fears honesty. On a chancellor who would kill an unarmed man. Obi-Wan stands now, stunned, stepping forward slightly. Anakin, where will you go? To Padme? To Naboo? And then I'll do what none of us have been able to do. I'll end this war. on my terms. He reaches for his lightsaber and places it on the center pedestal. The room is silent. The lightsaber seems to echo as it lands. May the force be with you. He turns and walks out. Obi-Wan watches him go, part, part odd. Yoda lowers his head. Mace, expressionless, doesn't move. He was our greatest weapon. A weapon? He was not lost. A great Jedi. We have found perhaps something more. Anakin walks back from the Jedi temple to his quarters, shoulders heavy, his lightsaber is gone. The halls feel quieter than usual as he rounds the corner back to his room. Captain Rex stands waiting outside, arms crossed, helmet off. Sir, you all right? Anakin pauses. They share a long look. No, Rex, I'm not. The men have been talking. You don't look the same after that mission. And now the council. Whatever they said, we're with you. Anakin walks past him to the door, stops, and looks back. I just left the Jedi order. Rex stiffens. He looks stunned, but doesn't speak, just processes it. I'm done fighting this war. I need to end it before it ends all of us. Then what happens to us? Anakin looks him in the eye. I'm not abandoning anyone, but this time I'm not waiting for permission to do what's right. Then wherever you go, sir. The men and I go with you. Rex stands at attention and gives Anakin a salute. I've always appreciated your loyalty, Rex. Assemble the troops. Have everything ready by dawn. I have one loose end to tie up. Rain drips from rusted pipes above. Neon flickers through the smog. The lower levels of Coruscant hum with life, but a different kind. Bounty hunters, vagrants, broken droids, shadowed corners. Anakin walks among them. Cloakdrawn, hood up, no lightsaber. He's searching, following something he hasn't felt in quite some time. A familiar hum in the force. His boots echo down an alley, past graffiti, past broken stone. Then he stops. A pair of old blast doors sit a jar. Inside the flicker of fire light, inside the cracked husk of an old monastery, Ahsokaano sits cross-legged before a low flame. Her sabers rest on the floor beside her. Somehow, she's different now. Tougher, but calm. She doesn't look up. You're late. Anakin steps inside, pulling down his hood. For a moment, they just look at each other. The silence is heavy, the unspoken pain resting between them. I need you, Ahsoka. I never should have let you leave alone. So you finally saw it too, Duku. He said nothing, but his eyes said everything, begging without saying a word. The chancellor ordered his death then. And I listened. Ahsoka stands. She walks to him slowly. Because you still trusted them. Anakin shakes his head. Not anymore. Not the Jedi. Not the Senate. Not the Chancellor. I'm done. Ahsoka, I left the order and there's more. Padme, she's pregnant. A beat. Ahsoka's eyes and facial expressions tell the story. First hurt, then proud, and finally understanding. I walked away, and it nearly killed me. But it's the only reason I'm still myself. So, I understand. You'll have more to look out for than just yourself now. I'm so happy for you, Anakin. But I don't know who I am without them. You're Anakin Skywalker, an amazing general, master, and soon to be father. And the fact that you're here and not up there in the Jedi temple or Palpatines's office proves you're already more than what they let you be. A moment passes. Anakin's voice drops. Come with me. I'm not just walking away. I'm taking the 50oh first. I'm going to end this war my way. Ahsoka's face is instantly readable. Surprise with undertones of excitement. That's not walking away. That's declaring war on everything. Not war. Justice. She studies him for a long moment, her expression unreadable. Then she picks up her lightsabers and clips them back to her belt. If we're doing this, we do it right. I'd have it no other way, Snips. Glad to have you with me. They walk into the rain together. Two exiles from a broken system, ready to end this war once and for all. Pale morning light seeps into the hangar, casting soft, elongated shadows across the ventor class cruiser as it rests in silence. Rows of 50irst troopers stand at attention. Captain Rex stands beside Anakin, helmet under his arm. Anakin steps forward. He's out of his Jedi robes now. Simple clothing, armor on his forearms, no lightsaber, no council title. Soldiers of the 501st, you fought beside me since Geonosis. Some of you have taken more hits than I care to count. I've made mistakes. You've seen me lose my temper. But through all of it, you followed me. He paces slowly in front of them, the weight of his words sinking in. Today, I'm not asking you to follow the Jedi Council. I'm not asking you to serve the Senate, nor the Chancellor. I'm asking you to follow me. Murmurss Ripple. Some troopers shift, others remain silent, listening. I've left the Jedi Order, and I'm leaving Coruscant, but I'm not running. I'm done fighting someone else's war. I'm going to end it on my terms. He stops and looks them dead in the eye. If you believe in me, if you believe in what we've been fighting for, then come. We leave now. A moment of tense silence, then cheers. The soldiers of the 50ohirst are with him. Captain Rex steps forward. Will you go, General? We follow. The troops begin to salute. One by one, they line up behind Rex, ready to board. The Jedi Temple grew quieter the next morning. Anakin Skywalker had vanished from its halls, and with him the 501st Legion. In the final hours before his departure, Anakin utilized the privileges still afforded to him as a general of the Grand Army. R2-D2, silent and loyal, accessed Republic military systems, generating forged orders. A covert deployment to Riylo under the pretense of intercepting a Separatist fleet. No one questioned the command. The war was still raging. Generals came and went. One more cruiser leaving Coruscant was hardly suspicious. The ship, a Ventor class star destroyer, was fueled, stocked, and prepped by midday. Only a handful of officers knew the true destination, and they were loyal to Anakin. War didn't ask. The 50ohirst followed without hesitation. They had fought alongside him for years. Not the Senate, not the Council. Him. By the time the Jedi Council realized the records had been altered, it was too late. The cruiser had jumped into hyperspace, headed not for Riylo, but someplace else. Sunlight pours through the tall curved windows of the Chancellor's office, casting long shadows across the polished floors and crimson drapery. The Jedi, Yoda, Mace Wu, Obi-Wan, Plun, and Kiari Mundi stand before Palpatines's desk in tense silence. Behind it, Chancellor Palpatine sits, hands folded with deliberate calm, eyes glinting beneath a mask of concern. So, it's true then. Skywalker has vanished with a military vessel, no less, and a full battalion of clones. Tell me, masters, was this sanctioned? No, it wasn't. He acted on his own. Troubling. Deeply troubling. The Republic places great trust in the Jedi, entrusting you with ships, troops, and our defense. But when a Jedi uses those tools to vanish with a senator, no less, well, what are the people to think? He was never a threat to the Republic. Palpatine smirks at this comment. No, he abandoned the Jedi code, stole military assets, and allegedly kidnapped a sitting member of the Senate. That sounds an awful lot like treason. The Senate will want to know where Skywalker stands, with the Jedi or against them. misunderstood he may be. Deeper this goes. And what will the people think when the face of the Clone Wars, the hero of the Republic, walks away with an army at his back and a senator at his side? This is not a misunderstanding, Master Yoda. It is an abandonment, a borderline rebellion waiting to happen. Don't pretend this is a surprise to you, Chancellor. You used him, pushed him, lied to him. He told us about Dooku. Palpatines's voice hardens, slightly raising the veil. I gave him an opportunity, purpose. You gave him doubt. You treated him like a weapon to be contained, not a man to be understood. And now he's no longer your problem. He's everyone's. Do you intend to pursue him? He has stolen the ship, defected with a clone battalion, and fled the core. Of course, I intend to pursue him. He pauses, gaze narrowing. But let me be clear. Should you shield him, should any Jedi interfere, I will have no choice but to brand him and all those with him enemies of the Republic. A tense silence falls. War. This would bring within the order between friends. Then bring him home before I do. The council bows and walks out the chancellor's office. The Jedi stand there silent for a brief moment before making their way to the council chambers. He won't come back. Then we better pray he doesn't give them a reason to come after him. The Naboo's sky was soft with gold as Anakin stood at the edge of the ship's ramp. Below the bloomed with serenity, green hills, clear lakes, the city glowing like a jewel in the morning sun. Padme descended in silence, cloaked in light linen, her hand resting gently over her unborn child. Anakin watched her go, heart torn between duty and love. This was his first step towards something else. With Ahsoka by his side, the ship ascended once more, cutting across the stars toward the forgotten. They traveled far beyond the mid rim, beyond battle lines and hyperspace routes to a place known only to those who once wore robes without rank. Illum, the heart of Kyber. The planet greeted them with silence. Snow whipped across jagged cliffs as the ship sat down on the edge of the frozen valley. The 50ohirst remained behind without a word, forming a silent perimeter in the wind. Anakin stood before the entrance of the ancient crystal cave. The mouth of it gaped like a wound in the mountain, breathless and old. No words passed between him and Ahsoka as he stepped inside. Only the cave and the force within. Time faded. Walls shimmerred with faint reflections of who he was. General, Jedi, failure, savior. Shadows of the past blinked in and out of focus, but none held him. And then he felt it. A pull. Not a demand, not a temptation, but a resonance, a hum in his chest, a beat in his breath. It drew him deeper until he found it resting in the center of a narrow cavern. Not glowing, not shining, just waiting. A white kyber crystal, not blue like his past, not red like his enemies, but pure, unaligned, balanced. He knelt before it, not as a Jedi, not as a warrior, but as a man, a father, a protector. He reached out and the crystal responded. Anakin worked in silence. Metalhist, the hilt came together slowly, deliberately, sleek, powerful, personal. The final moment arrived. He placed the crystal inside the chamber. For a heartbeat, there was only stillness. Then a snap hiss. A white blade burst to life. It didn't growl like the Sith. It didn't hum like the Jedi. It rang clear, pure, unflinching. A blade of purpose. A blade for balance. He stood alone in the forge. The light casting long shadows behind him. No longer the chosen one. No longer the Jedi's weapon. Just Anakin Skywalker, a symbol of justice in a broken galaxy. The galaxy shifts. Anakin Skywalker has vanished from Coruscant, but not into exile. He has the 50irst at his back, Ahsoka by his side, and a new blade of white that hums with purpose. No longer bound by the Jedi code, nor seduced by a Sith dogma, Anakin has forged a new path, one of conviction and balance. Padme remains hidden on Naboo, protected and waiting. But back on Coruscant, the political storm brews. The Jedi Council is fractured. Anakin's confusion regarding Palpatines's manipulation with the killing of Dooku in the final moments of that duel has forced them to confront a possibility they long feared. That the Chancellor is not only extending the war, but orchestrating it. And without Anakin, the Council has lost their only trusted voice close enough to monitor the Chancellor directly. Their unease turns to suspicion. Their suspicion turns to dread. Palpatine, too, has shifted. Skywalker's defection, taking with him not only a full Republic battalion, but a respected senator, cannot be ignored. Not just politically, not just militarily, personally. And though Palpatine has lost his apprentice in the making, he has not lost his leverage. Order 66 remains ready. All pieces are moving toward the endgame. But Anakin isn't waiting for them to decide his fate. He intends to end this war, not as a pawn of the Jedi, nor as a weapon of the Sith, but a man who refuses to let the Republic rot from the inside any longer. Ahsoka leans over a tactical table while Rex configures a hollow relay. The hum of the 50irst's nearby encampment buzzes through the stillness. Anakin stands apart, eyes distant as R2-D2 chirps beside him, plugged into a secure Republic frequency scanner. What is it, R2? You found something? R2 spins and projects a distorted hollow map. Red markers flash. Separatist fleet movement. Intercepted Republic orders. Encrypted code chatter. That's highle traffic. Movement orders from Corissant command. Grievous. R2 projects an image. A separatist dreadnot descending into the sinkhole cities of Udapal. The signature is unmistakable. That's him. That's Grievous. Confirmed. They haven't dispatched anyone yet. They're still debating it. He looks to Ahsoka. She meets his gaze, knowing, resolute. We're closer. We're faster. And we don't wait for permission anymore. General, we'd be going without sanction. No, we'd be going with clarity. The war ends when Grievous is gone. We end it now. Then let's move before he disappears again. Anakin turns to R2, who chirps with understanding and begins prepping the coordinates. Prep the Ventor for immediate departure. Copy that, General. The Ventor lowers silently through thick storm clouds, its engines dimmed for stealth below, the yawning sinkholes of Udapau stretch deep into the Earth, glowing with artificial light and separatist activity. The 50ohirst deploys in low orbit dropships, touching down on the cliffs just outside the separatist occupied sinkhole. Anakin stands over a tactical display with Ahsoka, Rex, and several clone officers. R2-D2 beeps from the corner, streaming intercepted chatter. A wireframe model of the sinkhole city flickers to life, showing separatist troop concentrations, droid patrols, and one signature pulsing red near the center command tower. No mistake, that's Grievous. Looks like he's using the central tower to oversee reinforcements being cycled through the base of the sinkhole and the council. R2 highlights a transport hanger below the city. No, Grievous will vanish the moment he hears blaster fire. That's what he does. Retreat, regroup, scatter. He taps the lower schematic with two fingers. But the hanger is beneath him. If we lock it down first, he has nowhere to run. No ship, no escape. Ahsoka grins. Her face lights up as a light bulb as she catches on to Anakin's plan. We split the battalion. Exactly. You take half the 50 first, hit the hanger from the canyon ducks, lock down the exits, trap the council before they even know we're here, and the rest of us. Anakin grins. We're going under. He flips the map and points to a maintenance shaft system used for ventilation and repair. Too narrow for droids to monitor, but big enough for some soldiers and a Jedi. If we infiltrate through the underworks, pop out beneath the command center. When the hanger's locked down, we strike from below. Grievous will be boxed in. And if he runs, then I'll chase him into hell. Ahsoka leads her half of the 50irst through narrow ventilation shafts. Blue sabers ignite in the dark. They emerge behind separatist lines. Stunning guards before alarms are raised. Grievous stands at the center council, cloak billowing. He speaks to the CIS council on a flickering hollow feed. Prepare to depart. The Republic is coming. But as he turns, the floor beneath him erupts. Anakin, Rex, and a team of clones explode from across the shaft in a burst of dust and blaster fire. Grievous spins, igniting all four lightsabers, but Anakin is already on him, white saber ignited. Explosions rock the entrance as Ahsoka crashes through with her troops. The CIS council scrambles to board a shuttle, but are stopped short by a wall of blue and white armor. Ahsoka leaps forward, sabers spinning, cutting down a pair of guards. Hands up now. The council hesitates, confused, disoriented, leaderless. They surrender. Anakin duels Grievous across the control room. Sparks fly. Control panels explode. Grievous lunged. All four sabers whirling like saw blades. Each strike sends shock waves through the air. The Durastile floor cracked beneath their feet. But Anakin didn't falter. He advanced with relentless precision, sidest stepping, parrying, his white blade a blur of light and discipline. Sparks flew as saber met saber blue plasma grinding against green. Grievous hissed in frustration. His strides wild with fury. Anakin ducked low, slid beneath a sweeping arc, and drove his elbow into Grievous's rib cage, metal denting from the impact. Before the general could recover, Anakin severed two arms with a single flash of light. Sparks erupted. Grievous reeled back, roaring in mechanical rage. But Anakin pressed forward like a storm, determined to leave nothing standing. Grievous strikes relentlessly with his remaining two arms. But Anakin is faster, calm, centered, in control. He ducks under a flurry, severs his remaining two arms, and sends Grievous crashing into a console with a force blast. You're no Jedi. No, I'm what comes after. He drives his white blade through Grievous's chest. The cyborg screams, sparking violently, and collapses. The subterranean cell is dim, cold, and echoing with tension. The captured separatist council members sit in a half circle. N Gunray, Watt, Tambbor, San Hill, Pogle the Lesser, and others, all stripped of their finery, hands bound, guarded by clone troopers. Anakin stands before them, flanked by Ahsoka and Rex. His white saber hilt is clipped to his belt, untouched, but the pressure in the room is suffocating. The war is over. Grievous is dead. You've lost. But I'm not here for vengeance. He steps closer. N Gunray shifts nervously. I'm here for answers. Who gave you your orders? They exchange nervous glances. No one speaks until Gunray, hands trembling, can't take the pressure anymore. We never knew his real name. He used voice filters, scrambled transmissions, but he had full control. Even Dooku followed him. Who? He called himself Darth Cidius. A murmur ripples through the chamber. Anakin's face hardens. And where is he? We we we don't know. I swear he never met us in person. All our orders came through encrypted relays, hidden channels. He only appeared when he needed to control the situation. Not even Dooku challenged him. Translation. He says Cidius designed this war from the beginning. Fed both sides. Prolonged the suffering. He told Dooku it was so the Confederacy would rise. That we would bring order. Anakin turns away, eyes narrowed, jaw clenched. A puzzle he's been circling for years now locks into place. Cidius never intended for either side to win, just for the galaxy to fall. The silence hangs like a blade after Anakin's words. Rex lowers his helmet slowly, shaken. Ahsoka's eyes narrow. Pogle stares at the floor, his breathing shallow, fear replacing arrogance. N Gunray swallows hard, as if realizing for the first time he was never meant to survive this war. A distant rumble vibrates through the floor. Then three Republic Ventor class cruisers drop through the cloud cover. Engines roaring. Lat gunships swarming out like a wave, descending toward the sinkhole city. The Republic flag shines on their hulls, pristine and orderly. Leading them, Obi-Wan Kenobi's ship touches down at the upper landing platform. Clone troopers of the 212th attack battalion deploy in formation, scanning for signs of conflict. Anakin steps toward the central command console where separatist monitors still display feeds from hangers and city systems. He watches the ship's descent. Republic ID tags. It's Kenobi. They're just now arriving. They're too late. It's already over. Obi-Wan steps down from the gunship, brow furrowed. The city is eerily quiet. There are no blaster scorches, no debris, just clone troopers standing at ease and a white-cloaked figure walking up the platform. Anakin emerges from the shadows with Rex and Ahsoka behind him. His white saber hilt glints in the light. The 50ohirst stands nearby, silent, victorious. Anakin, Grievous is dead. The council is in custody. We've stopped the war. Obi-Wan stares at him and then at Ahsoka at the hangers filled with subdued separatist prisoners. Then back to Anakin, stunned. You did all this without orders. Anakin steps closer with an outstretched hand. No more waiting, Obi-Wan. No more sitting on our hands while others suffer. We had the chance to end this. So, I took it. There's something you need to know. The lights are low. The war outside has ended. But the real threat has just been named. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Rex, and Cody stand in a tight circle around the central console. Dooku. He mentioned that name back on Geonosis. said the Senate was under the control of a dark lord, Darth Cidius, and we didn't listen. He was trying to warn us from the beginning, but he was silenced. Conveniently, the room tenses. Ahsoka folds her arms. Cody shifts. Anakin looks away. Who's the only person who could have orchestrated this war? Played both sides. Held the Senate in his palm. Ordered the Jedi around like pieces on a board. There's a small beat as they connect the dots. Anakin, didn't Palpatine tell you to kill Dooku. You said it yourself. You lost control. Anakin slowly raises his eyes. The color drains from his face. It's as if the whole galaxy tilts. It's him. Silence. No one moves. Wait. If Palpatine is Cidious was Fives, right? the chip the whole time and we just buried it. The clones, the Jedi, the war, it's all been a lie. Then we have no time. We go to Kamino now. We pull the chips from the clones here before he activates them. And then we expose him. Waves crash violently below as the Republic shuttle cuts through the storm. Lightning flashing across the dark sea. The gleaming towers of Topeka City pierce through the fog, cold and clinical. Anakin stands at the viewport, cloaked drawn, his jaw tense. Behind him, Obi-Wan leans forward between Rex and Cody at the controls. Ahsoka rests her hand on the hilt for lightsabers. We go in quiet. No council authorization, no Republic protocol. They'll stall us if they suspect we're here. Then we don't give them a chance. The ship banks low, dodging a patrol beacon, and descends toward a private hanger. The group walks swiftly down a long sterile hallway. Every footstep echoes. Kino and aids peer from the shadows but say nothing. They're met by Prime Minister Lamasu, flanked by two clone escorts. General Skywalker, General Kenobi. This visit was unannounced. We don't have time for formalities, Prime Minister. We need access to your clone production records. Our data is restricted. I'm afraid I'll need clearance from the Chancellor. The chancellor is the reason we're here. A beat of silence. Lamasu blinks slowly, calculating. We know about the inhibitor chips. We know what they're for. And we know who gave the order to put them there. You must understand our contract with the Republic. This isn't about your contract. This is about saving the clones or watching millions of them be used against their will. Rex removes his helmet and locks eyes with Lamasu. If you care about any of us, open the lab now. A long silence. Then Lamasu nods once. The clone escorts step aside. Rows of stasis pods hum quietly. Lights flicker across the walls lined with datab banks. Hollow monitors display medical charts. Clone schematics. And embedded in every neurological profile, a glowing marker. It It's in all of us. Ahsoka's face hardens. Anakin stares at the markers, then at the long rows of young clone cadets still in stasis. Anakin looks over towards Obi-Wan. How many generations have these chips been in place? Too many. Then we start with ours. The 501st, the 212th. Every clone we trust. We get the chips out now. This is irregular. Removing the chips may compromise clone stability. Anakin turns sharply, the anger reflected on his face. Shut your mouth. They were never yours to control. Lamasu doesn't respond. Instead, he turns slowly and begins entering commands into the console. As the group proceeds with the removals, a quiet hollow transmission flickers to life in a secure chamber deep within the facility. Lord Cyius, the Jedi, they know. A blue robed figure materializes in the projection, cloaked still. How peculiar. Inform me when they leave, Kamino. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Rex, and Cody sit around the central hollow table of their starship. They've removed all their clones inhibitor chips. The transmission to the Jedi Council chamber flickers. Mace Wu, Yoda, Plun, and Kiotti Mundi visible. Tension crackles in the air. The war is over. Grievous is dead. The Separatist Council is in custody, and we've confirmed it. Cidius was playing both sides, which means there was only ever one person with that much access, that much control. Palpatine. The council murmurs among themselves. Yoda's ears droop slightly. It also confirms the whole situation with Fives. He was correct. We've since gone to Kamino, confirmed it, and removed our soldiers inhibitor chips. I suggest you start doing the same with all your clones. This explains the behavioral shifts, the aggression. If what you're saying is true, prepare to move. CDS may be now or soon. Then we get ahead of him. We hit Coruscant fast. Secure the temple. Arrest Palpatine. The console blares. Transmission fractures. Static cuts across the council's image. What's happening? We're losing signal. Wait. No. This isn't interference. Through the broken transmission, they see it. Blaster fire. Screaming. The Jedi Council Chamber erupts into chaos. Clones storm in as the image cuts to black. They They turned on them. Order 66. Palpatine beat us to it. How did he know? We need to get there and fast. The storm clouds over Coruscant are painted orange by fires in the distance. Anakin's gunship descends beside Obi-Wan's and Ahsokas. The 501st and 212th follow, forming a perimeter. The temple is still too still. No defenses, no guards, no blaster fire, just silence. The temple doors are left cracked open. Inside, smoke lingers. Lights flicker. The group moves through scorched halls. Lightsaber marks. Blast scars, broken statues. They reach the high council chamber and stop cold. The whole council present. All lies fallen. Cut down mid defiance. Blaster wounds cover their bodies. Ahsoka covers her mouth. Obi-Wan bows his head. Anakin clenches his fists. Silent. They They killed them all. Inside a sealed meditation chamber, they find half a dozen younglings shivering, quiet, but alive. Ahsoka rushes in. You're safe now. The children cling to her. Obi-Wan glances out the window. Movement, marching. The 501st and 212th stand alert as another battalion approaches. Their armor is darker red marked shock troopers. At the head, Commander Fox and behind him, Chancellor Palpatine in full dark robes, flanked by shadow guards. The two armies stop, facing one another, only a few meters between them. The order went out. You're out of line. You shouldn't be here defending them right now. This temple is under emergency lockdown. Stand down and return to your posts. Rex has both hands on his pistols. We just walked through smoke and blood to find the council slaughtered. And you want to talk about protocol? You were supposed to guard the Republic, not murder its peacekeepers. I don't take orders from ghosts. The Jedi betrayed the Chancellor. They tried to seize power. No, they were the last thing holding this Republic together. You're confused, Rex. Don't let sentiment cloud your loyalty. Loyalty doesn't mean blind obedience. We trained to fight for the Republic, not for tyranny. Fox hesitates just for a beat, but the programming runs too deep. Then I guess we're not brothers any longer. No, we're just soldiers now. Palpatine steps forward. You've interfered long enough. This temple belongs to this state. The Jedi are traitors. Step aside, Skywalker. Don't call me that. You orchestrated everything. The war, the fall, the betrayal. Palpatine grins from ear to ear. And yet, you still followed it all so easily. You could have ruled at my side. And yet, here we are. Jedi clones united. You've already lost. Then die with them. With a flick of his wrist, Palpatine ignites a crimson blade and launches into the air. Lightning erupts from his fingers, scattering the front lines. The Corissant guard charges. Rex and Cody yell. Defensive line. Hold the steps. The 501st and 212th clash with the shock troopers. Clone versus clone. Armor cracking. brothers hesitating before being forced to fire. Anakin and Obi-Wan leap to intercept Palpatine mid strike. Blades clash, white, blue, and red, lighting the dusk. Ahsoka flanks from the side, spinning through royal guards as she tries to reach the Chancellor. He's vulnerable now. Palpatine roars, twisting into dark spirals of rage, overwhelming Ahsoka with force lightning. She screams, deflects some, but not enough. She struck full force, thrown off the temple stairs. Ahsoka. Anakin's scream echoed through the chaos as Ahsoka's body hit the steps, her lightsabers slipping from her hands. Rage surged through him like a wildfire. He launched at Palpatine with raw fury, his white blade a storm of blinding arcs. Obi-Wan was right behind him, striking with precision, keeping pace as their blades danced around the Sith Lord. Palpatine snarled, hurling bolts of red lightning between his counters, but Anakin drove him back with overwhelming power. Each strike fueled by grief, guilt, by fire. Obi-Wan cut low, forcing Cidius to retreat, but Palpatine twisted like a shadow, pushing both Jedi to the brink with every slash. The two Jedi push him toward the temple wall. Clones below continue to clash. Blaster bolts criss-crossing the battlefield in chaos. Anakin's white blade flashes. The saber drives home. Palpatine falters. He's losing ground. Now, Anakin. Anakin. Grief burning through him, faints, then drives his saber through Palpatines's chest. Lightning surges out in all directions. One final scream echoes through the force. Then silence. Ahsoka's body lies still on the steps. Anakin falls to his knees beside her. Clones rush to check on survivors. The battlefield is silent. The temple still standing, but forever changed. Padme is recalled back to Coruscant and briefs the Senate on everything that's happened so far. Padme is eventually made chancellor while Anakin is made grandmaster of the Jedi order alongside Obi-Wan as his second in command. Padme and Anakin's children are finally born. Twins. Anakin looks at his daughter, admiration and gratitude all over his face. Padme. I have a name for her. Let's call her Ahsoka. That's our theory.
