Welcome back to the finale of what if Shaak Ti survived. 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, Master Ti had not continued to meditate, despite the purge of Vader and the clones
on the Jedi, but instead she had saved as many of the Jedi as she could with the help
of Cin Drallig. After she had entered into the underworld, the Jedi master had left the
planet with the Martez sisters, but unfortunately, they are approaching the planet of Kessel…
Approaching the atmosphere of the hot terrain, the Jedi master orders the pilots to turn
around, as they had evidently not learnt their lesson from their previous journey, and after
initially refusing, Master Ti performs a mind trick to make them swing the ship away. From
beneath them, the Pykes had spotted the ship that had not delivered their spice, and ordered
the guards to not let them escape. All of the Jedi gather to the front of the ship,
and with their combined might, Force push the attempted tractor beam and fly to safety.
Their close brush with death again, did not ease the concerns of those aboard, and the
Jedi receive another message from senator Organa, telling them to convene on Polis Massa.
The sisters drop the Jedi at the asteroid colony, before leaving for their next adventure,
as Yoda is grateful that some of the Jedi had been saved. The senator of Naboo Padme
Amidala, gives birth to Luke and Leia Skywalker before her death, and the Jedi needed to plan
a counter attack against the new Empire. The Jedi decide to split up to avoid detection,
but Yoda would take the younglings and initiates to Dagobah, and train them until they were
ready, whilst those of sufficient skill, are now under the service of the Rebellion. The
addition of these Jedi, allows Organa to set up a group of secret Rebel cells, independently
operating to strike small hits against the Empire. Yoda’s Jedi are eventually ready,
and after joining the others, their timing is perfect, as they needed to destroy the
superweapon that was the Death Star. Alongside Obi-Wan, who had taken a more active role,
Master Ti guided the surprise attack on a dormant Imperial fleet, and they used their
starfighters to blast through the destroyers before they could be activated. The Jedi masters
direct the fire at the tough exterior defences, before dropping into one of other upper levels
to destroy the space station from the inside, without having access to the plans. The Jedi
use the Force to navigate through the maze, until the strong air of darkness began to
swirl around them. Vader marched down the corridor, and dismissed his personal legion
of Imperial stormtroopers, and ignited his blade. The Jedi circled around the machine,
and as they had planned, Obi-Wan began to absorb the smashing strikes from his old apprentice,
as Master Ti used her mastery of lightsaber combat to find a path through his defences.
Vader remained strong, until the Jedi led the battle into the tight confines of the
tractor beam control room. The Togruta master danced on the beams, as Obi-Wan prevented
an escape from his old apprentice, and Vader fell into the chasm. Not sensing his death
in the Force, the Jedi received the order to escape, as the masters strategically use
their lightsabers to slash at the station, then jumped back into a Rebel supply freighter
to safety. As they are about to leave, the entire Rebel fleet begins to shake, and one
of the officers uses a pair of macrobinoulars, to spot the shuttle of the Emperor landing
on one of the remaining Imperial star destroyers. The Jedi quickly reach Yoda, who had responded
to Organa’s original pleas to help destroy the Death Star, and as the Rebel fleet begun
to be crushed by Palpatine’s might, they rapidly evacuated to smaller starships, as
the Jedi attacked the destroyer’s defences, and skidded into one of the control towers.
Scrambling to their feet, the Jedi see Palpatine beginning to move closer in one of the trams
aboard the ship, and stand in an attack formation to face the Emperor. Palpatine cackled as
the doors to the large expanse slid open, and gestured to the floating Vader in the
bacta tank, before projecting fallen debris to wipe out most of the attackers. The three
Jedi masters do not have the time to tend to their fallen padawans, as they block Palpatine’s
lightning attack, and their feet begin to slip to the edge of oblivion. The Emperor
gave them another chance, by pausing between strikes, and from seemingly nowhere, Luke
Skywalker had arrived, equipping his father’s old lightsaber, and threw it into Palpatine.
The Jedi pulled themselves from the ledge, and looked at Vader with pity at what he had
become, then found an Imperial shuttle to take back to their fleet, returning to the
Rebel hub on Alderaan, with the other surviving Jedi. With the fall of the Sith, the Jedi
could return to their former glory, establishing their roles as peacekeepers to the New Republic,
and Master Ti could take her place on the Jedi Council again.
