00:00A single moment, a single choice.

00:20The fate of the galaxy turns as Anakin Skywalker chooses the darkness over the light.

00:25But what if he couldn't choose?

00:27What if he didn't stop Mace Windu's lightsaber?

00:30If Palpatine died, would Order 66 still happen?

00:33Would Anakin still fall to the dark side and become Darth Vader?

00:36Would Padme still die of sadness giving birth?

00:39And would Palpatine still return?

00:41What if Mace Windu killed Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith?

00:52As the Jedi go to confront the Sith Lord that has been right under their noses for years

00:56as the Chancellor of the Republic, they don't realize that this battle, although epic, ends

01:02with all of them dead.

01:04However, in this alternate universe, Jedi Master Mace Windu, after getting the upper

01:08hand on Darth Sidious, stands over the weakened Chancellor, his purple blade reflecting the

01:13terror in the Sith Lord's eyes.

01:15And this time, there is no hesitation.

01:17This time, he strikes him down before Anakin can decide which side he is on.

01:22Mace swings his lightsaber down, severing Palpatine's head clean off in one swift motion.

01:27The Sith Lord's body collapses.

01:28The darkness has been vanquished, or so it seems.

01:31The room remains thick with tension.

01:33The darkness has not left.

01:35It's almost as if it left Palpatine's dying body, but was transferred to the young Jedi

01:39that stands before Master Windu.

01:41Anakin Skywalker, who only moments ago had been teetering on the edge of darkness, and

01:46is now fully consumed by it.

01:48The promise of saving his wife, Padme, the whispered assurances from the Dark Lord that

01:53lies dead in front of him, are all gone in a flash.

01:56His thoughts run wild, his fear manifesting into something primal and uncontrollable.

02:01No, no, no.

02:03You killed him.

02:04He was the only one who could save her.

02:06Anakin's anger begins to grow, and Mace can sense the darkness is not yet destroyed.

02:11Palpatine was a Sith Lord, Anakin.

02:14He was trying to manipulate you.

02:15We can still set things right.

02:17Without thinking, without reason, Anakin lashes out.

02:20The Force surges through him with devastating fury, and with one powerful push, Mace Windu

02:25is hurtled backwards.

02:26The Jedi Master's body flies through the air, plummeting into the endless abyss of

02:30Coruscant's underworld.

02:31In a matter of seconds, two of the most powerful figures in the galaxy have perished, and Anakin

02:36Skywalker stands alone, trembling in the eerie silence.

02:41What have I done?

02:43The realization sets in like a cold dagger in his heart.

02:46Palpatine, the only one who could have taught him the power to save Padme, is gone.

02:51Mace Windu, one of the Jedi's greatest warriors, has fallen at his own hand.

02:56Four Jedi and one Sith are all dead in this room, and Anakin is the only witness.

03:02The weight of his actions is crushing, and for the first time in his life, Anakin feels

03:07utterly lost.

03:08Even when his mom died, he had Padme.

03:11But his wife is not here right now.

03:13Anger, hatred, and fear all flow through his body uncontrollably.

03:16Can he still save Padme without Palpatine?

03:19Or will his nightmares become reality?

03:21Will the Jedi ever believe what truly happened here?

03:24As all these emotions run wild through Anakin's mind, he knows there's only one person in

03:28the galaxy he can trust right now, Obi-Wan.

03:31Anakin makes his way to Palpatine's holotable.

03:34With shaking hands, he activates the holotransmission to Utapau, where his master, Obi-Wan, just

03:39finished his battle with General Grievous, killing the leader of the Separatists and

03:43ending the Clone Wars.

03:44Kenobi answers, his face weary as he can see something is wrong with his apprentice.

03:49Master, I didn't mean to.

03:52Chancellor Palpatine is dead, and so is Master Windu.

03:55Anakin, what have you done?

03:58Anakin tells him everything.

03:59How Palpatine promised that he could protect Padme.

04:01But the Sith Lord had been manipulating him for years, and he tells him everything that

04:06happened in this office.

04:07The death of Palpatine, the killing of Mace Windu, his own fear and confusion.

04:12Obi-Wan's face darkens as he listens.

04:14The Republic is leaderless, the Jedi have just committed what will surely be perceived

04:18as treason, and the fragile political landscape is about to collapse into chaos.

04:23Obi-Wan understands immediately that they are all in grave danger, and his apprentice

04:28needs him now more than ever.

04:30But he is on Utapau, and it will take him a while to get back to Coruscant.

04:34Find Padme.

04:35Stay hidden.

04:36I will be back as soon as I can.

04:39Trust only in the Force.

04:41As Obi-Wan is about to end the holo-transmission, Anakin stops him.

04:45Obi-Wan, find Ahsoka.

04:47Obi-Wan nods.

04:48Anakin's former padawan, Ahsoka Tano, left the Jedi Order as she saw the flaws of the

04:53Jedi Way.

04:54Probably something that affected the way Anakin looked at the Jedi Order ever since.

04:58However, she is currently leaving Mandalore with Darth Maul as her prisoner, but she has

05:02no idea what disaster is coming her way.

05:05Back on Coruscant, the Senators are losing their minds.

05:08News of Palpatine's death has spread like wildfire, and the fear in the room is palpable.

05:13It's ironic.

05:14Palpable?

05:15Palpatine?

05:16See what I did there?

05:17The absence of their supreme leader has left the Republic in a vulnerable state, and it

05:21is in this moment of crisis that Mas Amedda, the late Chancellor's most loyal advisor,

05:26takes control.

05:27The Jedi have betrayed the Republic.

05:30They struck down our Chancellor in cold blood.

05:34They seek to overthrow the government and rule the galaxies.

05:38We must act now before it is too late.

05:41Murmurs fill the room as we see Padme Amidala and Bail Organa, watching on with fear in

05:47their eyes.

05:48And before they can say anything, a hologram fills the center of the room as it shows Mace

05:52Windu killing Palpatine.

05:55The Jedi are evil, and they are far too powerful to be running around with no supervision.

06:02Our former leader, Chancellor Palpatine, had a plan if the Jedi ever lost control.

06:08The order to kill all the Jedi that could be given to the clone army at any moment and

06:13would rid the galaxy of its biggest threat.

06:15The Force-users, the lightsaber-wielders that can't be stopped by any citizens of

06:19the Republic.

06:20With this evidence and little resistance, the desperate Senators agree.

06:25Order 66 will be enacted.

06:27As the command spreads across the galaxy, clone troopers turn against their Jedi generals.

06:31The once loyal soldiers, bred for obedience, execute their comrades without hesitation.

06:36In much like the original timeline, we see countless Jedi fall at the hands of their

06:40own clones.

06:45And right now, the most important similar outcome is Ahsoka Tano's.

07:00Just like before, she is able to stop Order 66 by manually taking out Captain Rex's inhibitor

07:05chip.

07:06And her and the Captain are able to escape with their lives.

07:08And she sets her course for Coruscant.

07:11And on Coruscant, the Jedi Temple, once a sanctuary of peace and wisdom, is transformed

07:15into a battleground.

07:17As the clones lay siege to its hallowed halls.

07:20But this time, Anakin is not there to help take the Jedi Temple and kill the younglings

07:24and other masters.

07:25Yeah, that doesn't happen.

07:26And while the clone army is struggling to take the temple, Obi-Wan has arrived.

07:39He finds Anakin, sitting alone in the Jedi Council's chambers.

07:42Still caught between his own guilt and his instincts of a warrior.

07:46Although there is much conflict in Anakin that needs to be resolved, right now the two,

07:50Master and Apprentice, fight side by side to defend the temple.

07:53But the situation is hopeless.

07:55The Jedi are outnumbered, and their forces dwindle with every passing moment.

07:59But as the fight rages on, Anakin and Obi-Wan are quickly losing hope.

08:03And suddenly, amidst the chaos, a familiar voice calls out to Anakin.

08:11Ahsoka Tano, having sensed the tremors in the force, has finally returned to find that

08:16Order 66 was not just something that happened to her, but even the place she once called

08:20home, the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, is in ruins.

08:23And she barely managed to break through all this carnage to find Obi-Wan and Anakin.

08:28Together, the three of them save all the Jedi they can as they make a daring escape, knowing

08:32that their survival is the only hope for the Jedi Order.

08:35But as they are about to board the ship, Anakin stops.

08:40Seeing the fear and desperation in his apprentice's eyes, Obi-Wan knows there is no convincing

08:45Anakin.

08:46So as the battle rages on, Anakin races through the darkened streets of Coruscant.

08:50His heart pounding, clone patrols at every corner.

08:52But he moves unseen, guided by the force.

08:55His mind is in a whirlwind.

08:57In the midst of fear, anger, and desperate hope, he must find Padme before it's too

09:01late.

09:02Arriving at her apartment, he finds her staring at a holonet broadcast.

09:06Her face a mask of horror as she is listening to the horrible things the Jedi are being

09:10accused of.

09:11She turns as he enters.

09:12Her eyes widen in relief and fear.

09:21Anakin moves towards her, taking her hand in his own.

09:41Padme places a hand on her stomach.

09:43These babies are due at any moment now.

09:47Before he can answer that question, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan burst into the room.

10:00Anakin turns back to Padme, determination in his eyes.

10:05Obi-Wan and Padme share a glance.

10:07Obi-Wan nods as if to tell her that he knows everything.

10:10The kids she's about to have are Anakin's, and that he's okay with it.

10:13It's time to go.

10:14We all board Bail Organa's ship.

10:16With blaster fire echoing through the city, the ship makes its way off the planet.

10:20As they fly away, they see Coruscant on fire.

10:23The Republic is in ruin.

10:25The Jedi Order is gone.

10:27As the ship flies away, Anakin holds Padme close, the reality of their new existence

10:31settling upon them.

10:33They are fugitives on the run, and their home is now gone.

10:36However, this is not the end.

10:38No, it is just the beginning.

10:40The Republic may be gone, but the Rebellion is born on this day.

10:50Padme and Anakin have welcomed their two new children, Luke and Leia.

10:54Now far from Coruscant, deep in the Outer Rim, the remaining Jedi, led by Anakin, Obi-Wan,

10:59Yoda, and Ahsoka, regroup on a secret base provided by Bail Organa.

11:03They can't go to Padme's homeworld of Naboo, they'll be looking there.

11:06They must stay hidden.

11:08The Jedi Order is now all but destroyed, but its survivors refuse to give up.

11:13With Padme's political influence and Bail's connections, they begin reaching out to senators

11:17and systems still loyal to the Republic.

11:20This time, the Rebellion grows a lot quicker.

11:23With Palpatine now dead, not being able to lead this new galactic empire, and Anakin,

11:28although still struggling with the darkness, not fully consumed by it like Darth Vader,

11:33the Empire is far weaker, and this Rebellion needs to act fast.

11:37We can't stay hidden forever.

11:39The Republic may be gone, but the galaxy needs us now more than ever.

11:44But there are too few of them.

11:46Even if they gathered every Jedi who survived, which is impossible because they are all in

11:50hiding across the galaxy, they still wouldn't stand a chance against the Empire's clone

11:55army.

11:56Strong the darkness is, but the clones' minds alone they are not.

12:03Free their minds, we must.

12:07Realizing that the key to defeating the Empire lies within their own army, the Rebellion

12:11begins targeting smaller Imperial outposts, ambushing clone units, and capturing as many

12:17soldiers alive as possible.

12:19Using the medical equipment they have from trusted Republic loyalists, they painstakingly

12:24remove inhibitor chips one by one from the clones they capture.

12:28What Ahsoka and Captain Rex accomplished during Order 66 was the key to winning this war.

12:34However, although they are turning the tides in this war by freeing all these clones, they

12:38are making too many waves and the Empire is catching on.

12:40The talks of Rebellion forming have crossed the galaxy.

12:44But this is not all bad news, as Jedi who have gone into hiding now have a new hope

12:49to strike back against the Empire.

12:51And that will truly bring the return of the Jedi.

12:55Oh my god!

12:56Okay, but those Jedi who are in hiding find their way to the Rebellion.

13:00Every Jedi that we've saved, every clone that we've freed, now we can take back what

13:06was stolen from us.

13:07Over the next few years, the Rebellion grows stronger, gathering more and more clones,

13:11removing their inhibitor chips, finding loyal Republic citizens, and more Jedi who went

13:16into hiding.

13:17With the Empire weakened by corruption in the absence of Palpatine, their forces are

13:21stretched far too thin.

13:23Mas Amedda struggles to maintain control as more and more systems begin to resist.

13:27And now the Rebellion has the perfect time to take back what is theirs.

13:31The army, led by Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka, lead an armada to Coruscant.

13:36The capital world, once the center of the Republic, is now the heart of the Empire.

13:40While on the ground, the Rebel forces storm the Imperial Palace, what was once Palpatine's

13:45office is now Mas Amedda's.

13:46While Obi-Wan leads the fleet in the sky, Anakin and Ahsoka lead the charge on the ground.

13:51Cutting through stormtroopers and clone loyalists, they fight alongside the clones who they saved

13:56along the way.

13:57These Rebel forces storm their way to Palpatine's old office, as Anakin and Ahsoka run into

14:02the room, confronting Mas Amedda.

14:04The last time Anakin stepped foot in this room, he had just killed Mace Windu and watched

14:08as the lies and deceit of the Sith died.

14:11The false notion of his wife dying proved to him that the dark side was not the way,

14:15and one swift attack the Empire that only lasted a few years was vanquished.

14:20The Rebellion officially declared their victory, and the remaining Imperial loyalists surrendered,

14:24and the Republic was restored.

14:26With Coruscant reclaimed, the Senate is reassembled.

14:29Padme, alongside Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and other Senators, lead the efforts to rebuild

14:33democracy.

14:34The remaining Jedi Survivor, although very few, pledge to restore the Jedi Order, this

14:39time learning from their past mistakes.

14:41Anakin Skywalker, no longer the fallen Jedi that he was destined to become, stands beside

14:58Padme as they watch their two kids, Luke and Leia, play in front of them, symbols of the

15:02future.

15:03No longer consumed by the fear and anger, he has found balance in the Force.

15:08As the Republic rises from the ashes, a hope for a new era has begun in the galaxy.
