The Cerean Force Sensitive Ki-Adi Mundi, was a Jedi master and Council member during the
waning days of the Galactic Republic. Becoming a Jedi general for the Grand Army of the Republic,
the Cerean Jedi was known for his highly rational and restrictive line of thinking, in line
with some of his fellow Council members, but this only made him more oblivious to the darkness
lurking in the shadows. Being in constant denial about the existence of the Sith, and
how they could have eluded the Jedi, he became one of the victims of Order 66 on the planet
of Mygeeto. But what if Master Mundi had survived? Could he have affected the Empire or the Rebellion?
As you are going to discover in this episode of Order 66 survived, the Jedi master would
have dramatic consequences for the future of the galaxy…
Situated in his command centre on Mygeeto, Master Mundi was one of the Jedi Council members
that were present, hearing of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s report that General Grievous was indeed on
the planet of Utapau. Discussing their continuing suspicions with the Supreme Chancellor, the
Jedi were in agreement they needed to make a move to arrest Palpatine, if he did not
concede his powers after the fall of Grievous. With Anakin currently on his mission to spy
on the Supreme Chancellor, Master Mundi can sense the danger in giving such a mission,
and acting upon his suspicions since the clone reinforcements had arrived on the planet,
requests for one of the masters to keep track of the newest member of the Council. Being
the most senior Jedi at the Temple, Master Windu follows the advice of Ki-Adi Mundi,
and searching for the Jedi knight, he can sense something unusual in the Force, so rushes
over towards the office of Palpatine. Casually killing the two senate guards with a swipe
of his hand, he quietly entered the office of Palpatine, and heard the sound of a lightsaber
igniting. The Sith Lord had not expected the Jedi master to intervene, and knowing that
he could not use Anakin to betray the Jedi, he pretended to Master Windu that he was being
attacked by Anakin, and asked for the Jedi master to stop the out of control Jedi knight.
Anakin looked at the Chancellor in confusion, before asking Windu to trust his judgement,
and told him that this was the Sith Lord that they had been looking for. Having just discussed
the arrest of the Chancellor, Windu orders for the closest clone troopers to place the
Chancellor in a holding cell, supported by Anakin, whilst he informed the Council of
what they had learned. Unfortunately for the Jedi master, he had still underestimated the
Sith Lord, as on his journey to his cell Palpatine ordered the Coruscant guard, who were under
his control even without Order 66, to quietly stun Anakin. The Jedi knight cannot react
in time to avoid the stun shot of Commander Fox, and Palpatine orders the clones troopers
to take him to the cell he himself was supposed to be in, then got to his feet to execute
Order 66. Windu had just managed to reach the mission centre in the Jedi Temple, when
he felt a distinct shiver in the Force, and quickly scrambled to summon the other Council
members. Most of them had been caught off guard by the sudden betrayal of the clones,
but due to his fast reflexes and earlier suspicions, Master Mundi had avoided the fire of his 21st
Nova Corps and Commander Bacara, and was now back on his starfighter, flying to Coruscant
along with any other survivors. Returning to the Jedi Temple ahead of Jedi Grandmaster
Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu and Shaak Ti join the Cerean Jedi master in protecting
the Temple, before they go to find the missing Anakin. The Jedi knight had just awoken in
his cell, and it was similar to the one that Ahsoka had been falsely imprisoned in, when
accused of bombing the Jedi Temple, but there was no key card to save him, and angrily kicking
the side of the cell, he found one of the panels to be more hollow than the others.
Using his immense strength to rip it from its mountings, Anakin utilised the same method
to go from cell to cell, until finally making it to the corridor. From a small table, he
picked up his gear, and picked up his commlink that was flashing, hearing the voice of Senator
Padme Amidala of Naboo. The politician had been frantically pacing about her apartment,
upon hearing that Anakin had been missing, and she was relieved to hear his voice, albeit
exhausted and asked him to return to her apartment. The Jedi knight heard about what had happened
since his capture, but his only concern at the moment, was to save Padme from her imminent
childbirth. Running through the corridors, the alarms to the facility began to go off,
and with the clones closing in on him from all angles, Master Windu and Master Mundi
arrived to rescue him. Attempting to escort Anakin to the Temple, Anakin shrugged off
the grip of the Jedi, and flew to Padme’s apartment, where the senator and C3P0 greeted
the Jedi knight. Anakin proclaimed that he was going to learn the power to save Padme,
as Palpatine had promised him, but the senator held him back, and ordered him to stay, in
case she was one of the senators being hunted down by Palpatine’s new regime. Anakin thought
about the offer, but in his mind, Padme would either perish now or later, if he didn’t
gain the powers of the Sith. Running to Palpatine’s office, the Sith Lord turned from his chair,
and dismissed Mas Amedda, then looked at Anakin bowing to his allegiance. Ordering him to
rise to his feet, Palpatine knew that he had the Jedi under his control, and dispatched
to go to the Jedi Temple, then eliminate every single survivor of Order 66. Anakin would
not fail for Padme. That is it for part 1 of what if Ki-Adi Mundi
