Welcome back to part 2 of what if Anakin had joined Obi-Wan to save Satine. Thank you to
those of you who watched the first part! To recap what happened in the first part, in
case you haven’t seen it, Anakin joining his master on Mandalore, had enabled Satine
to escape the clutches of Maul on her home planet. Later returning to confront Maul and
Savage, they find them heavily beaten, unknowingly by Sidious, and Satine returns to her status
as the Duchess, with Ahsoka as her protector. Now the Jedi try to find the attacker of Maul
and Savage, hopefully unlocking the mysteries of the Sith…
With the trial of Barriss Offee behind them, the Jedi call back Ahsoka from Mandalore,
and it is Obi-Wan’s turn to protect Satine. The Jedi master is reluctant to accept this
simple mission, knowing it could lead to a great internal conflict, and using the limited
time granted by the Council to make a decision, he consults his padawan in his quarters. Obi-Wan
reveals the anguish he had felt when Satine had been imprisoned, and as he had hoped,
Anakin tells his master about his secret marriage to Padme. The two Jedi now know they are in
a jeopardous position, with regards to their status as Jedi, so to distance themselves
from their feelings clouding their judgement, they go to Padme’s apartment with an idea.
The two Jedi ask Padme and her security Forces to head to Mandalore, but the senator does
not think that it would be enough to defeat any potential return from Maul and Savage.
Padme leaving Coruscant was not an option, so the Jedi have to find a way to protect
Satine, just as the Gungan Jar Jar Binks walked in. The Jedi asks the Naboo Gungan representative
to use his influence on the Gungans, to gather their Forces to try and guard the Duchess,
and having consulted Boss Lyonie, a small contingent of Gungans now guarded Duchess
Satine. Despite her safety, the words of Maul in the palace throne room remained in the
minds of the Jedi, and on their next mission, these continued to haunt them. On the station
of the planet of Ringo Vinda, the Jedi and the Separatists were locked in a titanic battle
for control, and following the death of Jedi Master Tiplar by clone trooper Tup, the present
Jedi have to search for Maul to get the answers they required. According to the Jedi master
Tera Sinube, the renegade Sith had last been seen in the lower levels of Coruscant’s
underworld, as he sought to recruit more bounty hunters, and strike deals with crime syndicates.
Three Jedi of Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka, know the first place to look, and take a speeder
to level 1312, and the secret hideout of the Dathomirian Asajj Ventress. The former apprentice
to Dooku had not been one of those approached by Maul, but she had seen him recently visit
the tavern named the Moshi bar, a location frequently associated with bounty hunting.
Placing their cowls over their heads, the Jedi ask the usual drunken customers and death
stick dealers, if they had spotted the Zabraks, and one of them remembered that they had passed
by several days ago, mentioning the planet of Florrum. Obi-Wan’s eyes widened, as he
realised that Maul and Savage were back for revenge on Hondo and his gang. Leaving Shaak
Ti and the other Jedi to deal with the situation on Kamino, the three Jedi take the Twilight
to the planet of Florrum, but in the airspace of the planet, a full-scale battle was already
occurring. Hondo was using all of his fleet, previously stored in his secret vault, but
Maul’s fleet funded by the Shadow Collective, was clearly winning the aerial battle. The
Jedi knew that the dark side users wanted the throat of the pirates, and dived down
to the planet below, settling upon one of the dust bowls near Hondo’s ruined base.
To their surprise, the Jedi could only see Savage Opress, causing terror amongst the
pirate gang, and Obi-Wan leapt forward to block a killing strike aimed for Hondo. The
raw power of the brute was not matched by his technique, and the three Jedi dissect
him limb by limb, until he was left helpless on the floor. But in the face of defeat, Savage
managed a low laugh, that shook the Jedi to their core, as he told them that Maul had
led an attack to take over Mandalore, whilst he had been a distraction for the Jedi. The
trio stare in horror at the potential fates of Jar Jar and Satine, and after they had
secured Savage in a cell, with the help of Hondo, they tried to boost their signal to
find Jar Jar or Satine. Savage had told the truth in what Maul had aimed to do, and Obi-Wan
diverts his 212th Battalion to Mandalore, whilst they search for anybody on Mandalore
that could help them. To their relief, Bo Katan had heard the pleas of the Jedi, from
a fallen commlink in the centre of the academy, and she ensured the Jedi could safely land
in the planet, as her Nite Owls and Gungans, tried to stop Maul’s forces from entering
the confines of the palace. Despite her best efforts, Bo Katan cannot stop the Jedi’s
freighter from exploding, and they fall to the floor in a pile of rubble. Entering into
the slowly crumbling palace, the Jedi free from Satine from her confinement, before they
hear the voice of Maul from behind them. That is it for part 2 of what if Anakin had
joined Obi-Wan in saving Satine. If you’d like to see a part 3 soon, please like this
