Welcome back to the finale of what if Darth Vader upgraded his suit. Thank you to those
of you who watched the first two parts of this video! To recap what happened those videos,
if you haven’t seen them, Vader had got his suit from Kamino, then used it to kill Sidious. As he
began his takeover of the galaxy, he started to look for a Sith student, and following a trail of
a list of missing Jedi, he travelled to Utapau, where he now faces his old padawan Ahsoka Tano…
Vader stood from the initial attack and detonation, then stretched out his hand
to grab the T6 Shuttle in the air, which froze Ahsoka as she wrestled the controls. Since the
devastation of Order 66, Ahsoka had been reticent in using the Force, but now with little choice,
she knew would struggle to free the ship, so decided to focus on the missile launchers.
Using the force to release one of the missiles, Vader is thrown back from the blast, and Rex and
Cody are given time to jump aboard. Ahsoka and the clones try to take advantage of Vader’s to leave,
but they found themselves surrounded by Commander Fox’s recovered gunships, and Vader orders them to
surrender or be killed at once. Ahsoka knew that this Sith was targeting her, given she had been
a Jedi, so in a selfless act, she ignored the cries of the clones, and acrobatically soared
down to the level of Vader, then whistled for the varactyl to return. With Vader releasing his grip,
the clones use the chaos to fire their remaining missiles and evade the other clones,
as Ahsoka collected a fallen electrostaff, and duelled Darth Vader. The fighting style
of the Sith felt eerily familiar, and as the shards of Vader’s mask fell from the previous
blasts, she saw that it was the face of her old master. Her moment of realisation meant she
lowered her staff, and one of the Coruscant guard stunned her, leaving Vader to order for her to be
taken to his ship. Above the world, Rex and Cody were alone with the other ships chasing Ahsoka,
and the silence cut through the air and their souls, but they knew that they couldn’t fight
a machine such as Vader without the Force. Rex set coordinates for a secret rendezvous location,
and during their hyperspace journey, the clone used the astromech and transmission codes that
Ahsoka had left behind, to find Bail Organa. The concerned hologram of Organa flickered into view,
and the absence of Ahsoka gave a dilemma for him to think about, given his scheme with Obi-Wan
and Yoda. The senator decided that Ahsoka would be worth the risk, but with Vader and Ahsoka’s
location unknown, he needed his small network of Rebels to hunt it down, before he could
even consider asking the Jedi for a rescue effort. Back aboard Vader’s ship, the Sith Lord had sensed
that there would be enemies wanting to retrieve Ahsoka, so he ordered for Commander Fox to divide
the fleet, and throw them off course, whilst he boarded his newly built I-class star destroyer.
Having ordered for many of Sidious’ Sith artefacts to be transferred, he would now use a Force cage,
that was looted from the era of the Jedi civil war to detain Ahsoka. As the former Jedi padawan awoke
from her slumber, she felt herself levitating in mid-air, but the Force restraints denied any
thoughts of a getaway, as well as being surrounded by the Vader’s officers. Before the officers are
about to mock her, she is somewhat saved by the Sith Lord himself, and he ordered for his staff to
move back to their usual roles, as he extended his hands and felt electricity flowing through him,
then shot a lightning attack at his old Jedi padawan, and now his new Sith student.
Ahsoka had never felt agony like this in her entire life, and her efforts to resist were
futile, as Vader wanted her to suffer, for how she had abandoned him when he needed her the most,
and show her the limitless dark side powers, that she had missed under the Jedi. But the former Jedi
continued to resist, with no desire for more power, and Vader would need more time to break
her, when a terrified officer stumbled to his side. Vader hid his disgust at the distraction,
but the officer revealed that the homing beacon on the T-6 Shuttle had been a success,
and the clones had docked near the Alderaan System in the Core worlds. The Sith Lord gazed out of the
window at his stars, and resisting the urge to leap into his starfighter and chase the shuttle,
he decided that he would continue to track their location, sensing that there would be enemies that
would try to rescue Ahsoka. Vader’s senses had not betrayed him, as Rex and Cody were not willing to
wait for Bail Organa and his network, so taking matters in their own hands, they went to search
for Obi-Wan. Although they knew Senator Organa wouldn’t disclose the Jedi master’s location,
they were now on the Tantive III, and as Organa had left for his home on Alderaan, the guards
were unmoved as Rex entered the senator’s room with R2-D2. The astromech had stayed behind
and understood the intentions of the clones, so used his interface arm to connect to the ship’s
database, finding that the Jedi had travelled from one of the docks on Nar Shaddaa. The clones
did not need to go to the smuggler’s moon, to know that it was a transit for the world of Tatooine,
somewhere that they knew Anakin Skywalker hated. Leaving the dock of Bail Organa’s ship,
Rex set course for the desert world, continuing to convince himself and Cody, that this would
be a logical location for the ingenious Jedi master to hide, but they still had the issue of
how to find him on the barren land. Landing on the outskirts of Anchorhead, where they thought that
there would be less security, the clones wished they could retain R2-D2, but when they searched
for their macrobincoulars, they found the droid had been more intelligent than they had thought.
A singular data cylinder resided among their stocks, and when they activated the device,
they found its coordinates located to the southern border of the Jundland wastes,
and among the Great Chott salt flat region. Starting the T-6 shuttle again, the clones
turned in shock at the main monitor, which showed several silhouettes moving closer to their hull,
and with their sole missiles already used, Rex and Cody get out to fight. With his shorter-range
DC-17 hand blasters Rex distracted the ships, which were new variants of the Alpha 3 Nimbus
Class V Wing starfighter, whilst Cody mounted his DC-15A blaster rifle, and used the hill of
a sand dune to deal the killing shots. Such pilots were not match for these veterans, but they knew
that they were being tracked, so after removing the homing beacon beneath the ship’s hull, they
set course for the coordinates that they had been given. As the clones glided across the sand, they
could hear a great stirring from behind them, and the settlement of Anchorhead had blared into life,
so their battle had not ended. Using the sand to blind the chasing enemies, Rex finally arrived at
their coordinates, where they saw a hooded Obi-Wan Kenobi standing outside the moisture farm. Obi-Wan
assumed a battle stance at the sight of the clones, but lowered his hood after sensing no
threat, and when Cody and Rex got out of the ship, he told them that they should leave immediately.
The clones were not deterred, and told the exiled master about the fate of Ahsoka, as well as the
existence of Darth Vader, causing the Jedi master to stroke his beard in thought. Allowing himself
a glance at the Lars home, Obi-Wan didn’t know if he had the strength to face his old padawan again,
but he believed that Vader had not been made aware of Luke, so he would be safe at the Lars
home. The Jedi master was fortunate that he had not followed through, with his idea to
bury his and Anakin’s lightsabers, so he joined the clones before Anchorhead’s security Force
could catch them. When they left the Tatooine system, Bail Organa’s hologram arrived in time,
to give them the coordinates for Vader, which were set for the Seswenna sector. Obi-Wan had
studied the area in the Jedi archives, and knew that it had unusual political elections,
as well as it being the home-world of Wilhuff Tarkin, which convinced him they were heading
the right way. The Jedi and the clones met with the rebels in the nearby system of Sullust,
on how they would go to attack the Devestator, and they decided the T6 shuttle would be a decoy,
whilst Obi-Wan became one of the squadron, flying over the heavy turbolaser turrets. The small band
of Rebels all left Sullust, and straight into the skies above Eriadu, then wasted no time in
executing their strategy. Amongst the mix of clone war starfighters, Obi-Wan could feel the darkness
of Vader, and as his fleet started to draw the fire of the activating turrets, he knew that
Vader had wanted him to arrive for a rescue. The Jedi master allowed the tractor beam to draw him
into the docking bay, and with the sound of the battle above fading, he made his move.
Showing that he hadn’t lost any of his agility, he acrobatically summersaulted onto the ground,
and drew a flawless arc with his lightsaber around the new soldiers, sending them tumbling several
levels. Obi-Wan continued to move through the star destroyer, and as sensed Vader and Ahsoka getting
closer, he could feel the Togruta’s resistance to the dark side was flagging, and he considered he
would have to fight alone. So before he entered the turbolift, Obi-Wan used the Force to hold one
of the V-Wing starfighters, circulating above the ship, then threw it into the bridge and deflector
shield generator, which he thought could give the Rebels a chance to join his battle. The alarms
were immediately screaming around the destroyer, as Obi-Wan moved around the rushing officers and
soldiers, to the turbolift a final meeting with Vader. A seemingly endless climb to Vader’s floor
ended with a juddering halt, and Obi-Wan ignited his lightsaber, then walked into Vader’s room. The
Sith Lord swivelled from within his chamber, and with his helmet locking into his suit,
stood tall and told Obi-Wan he would finish what he couldn’t on Mustafar. Vader moved in a blur,
eager to end the duel and show the power of the dark side, but Obi-Wan knew this and decided to
dodge all of Vader’s attacks, and frustrate him by not attacking him. As the Sith’s rage continued to
grow, Obi-Wan was able to activate a series of levers on the wall, and Ahsoka felt herself free
from her restraints. The former Jedi was wavering from light to dark, after her torture under Vader,
and like her master she could change the fate of the galaxy. Using the Force to surprise them both,
and send them into Vader’s bacta tank, with the gelatinous substance making them slow
down. As they got to their feet, the destroyer was hit by several blasts from a Rebel cruiser,
and Obi-Wan told Ahsoka to leave, whilst he resisted Vader. Hobbling to the turbolift,
Ahsoka found the Rebels had infiltrated the Executor, and Rex carried her to the
safety of the Rebel fleet. As the other Rebels followed, Ahsoka almost fell back to the floor,
with the losses of both Obi-Wan and Anakin in the Force, and she suddenly felt a great burden to
carry their legacies. With news moving across the galaxy, the civilians started to overthrow their
ruling forces, and Bail Organa gathered all of the highest-ranking allies, to meet at the Alderaanian
embassy in the Cantham House on Coruscant. The new alliance discussed how they would prevent, the
mistakes made under the old leadership, and after the session, Bail Organa gave Ahsoka the location
of Grandmaster Yoda. The exiled Jedi decided to take a less active role in the new Jedi Order,
but served on the Council with survivors such as Eeth Koth and Quinlan Vos, who revolutionised the
old code. Although Vader had inflicted a brief flurry of terror, Ahsoka and Rex dedicated their
lives, to ensure he would be remembered as a hero, rather than what he had become.
