Welcome back to the finale of what if Yoda and the Clones Arrived Earlier on Geonosis.
Thank you to all of you who watched the first part of this video! To recap what happened
in that episode, in the event you haven’t seen it, Yoda’s earlier arrival on Geonosis,
had enabled Mace Windu to kill General Grievous, and for Dooku to be arrested. Cleverly working
his way to freedom, the Sith had begun their war, and want vengeance against Windu…
At the Jedi Temple, the Jedi Council were gathered for their first meeting since the
start of the clone war, when they felt a slight disturbance in the Force. Rolling out of their
chairs and into the walls, the helmet wielding figure of Boba Fett threw a detonator at the
windows of their tower, but pushing it away with the Force, the Jedi manage to grab a
hold of the bounty hunter and pull him back to the floor. Windu was immediately aware
that this was the son of Jango Fett, wanting vengeance for his father, and interrogating
him for information on his connections with Dooku, he was met by resistance, before admitting
that Dooku had frequently been on Kamino during the initial stages of the cloning. As Boba
Fett is dragged away by the Temple guards, the Jedi run to one of their command centres,
and there they see a recording of the body of General Grievous being reborn, clearly
symbolising that Windu was the next target on the Separatist radar. The Jedi had been
predictable in their moves, but the information from Boba Fett could prove to be invaluable,
as they quickly moved to Kamino. Discreetly taking a squadron of Jedi interceptors to
avoid the suspicions of the Sith, the Jedi soon split up to look for any clues of Dooku,
when Anakin peered into a secret room, and saw the Kaminoans talking to Dooku. The Sith
was ordering the cloners to lockdown the facility for the arrival of his assassins, and Anakin
quickly warned the other Jedi of the threat. When the transmission ended, Anakin quietly
stunned the Kaminoans, and R2-D2 logged all of the previous conversations from the facility,
when Anakin heard the sound of clones dying. Asking R2-D2 to head back to the ship, and
give the data to the Council, Anakin rounded the corridor, and found Asajj Ventress and
General Grievous. The Jedi knight was outnumbered, but only for a few moments, as the other Jedi
surrounded the Jedi killers from the other corridors. Ordering them to lay down their
weapons, both of the Separatists lunged directly at Windu, but the Jedi master calmly dodged
their attacks, and they floundered for an escape route. But with the facility completely
closed off, there was nowhere to run, and they are accidentally trapped in one of the
ray shields. R2-D2 helped to override one of the security doors, enabling the Jedi to
get out of Kamino. Examining the data obtained from the Kaminoans, they are shocked to find
that Dooku not lied to Obi-Wan on Geonosis, as Palpatine had been helping to fund the
creation of the army, as well as luring several members of the Intergalactic Banking clan
to his scheme. The Jedi needed to act with caution according to Yoda, and starting by
trying to gather enough senators to reduce Palpatine’s powers, Senator Amidala proposes
a bill that would alter the Reflex Amendment, meaning Palpatine would have to consult the
rest of the senate to take action on an attack. The Sith Lord was displeased by the turn of
events, and knew that if the politicians were to dig further into his amendments, his entire
regime could be exposed. But little did Palpatine know, that the Jedi had moved one step ahead
of him, and completing their capture of Grievous and Ventress, Dooku is forced to try and free
them. Having paid a significant fee to the pirates to keep the Separatists, the Jedi
had laid a perfect trap on the planet of Florrum, hiding themselves around the perimeter of
Hondo Ohnaka’s base camp, when the Sith arrived. This time Dooku would not escape,
with the entire Jedi Council emerging from various directions to dissect the limbs of
Dooku. Dragging the remains of the Separatist leader back to the Jedi Temple, they received
a report from Senator Organa and Senator Amidala on Coruscant, that Palpatine had gone berserk,
and had ordered for many of the senators to be killed by his assassins. Anakin did not
hesitate in leaping into his starfighter, and making it back to Coruscant ahead of the
other Jedi, he changed course for Padme’s apartment. Expecting one of the many bounty
hunters to be waiting for him, it is in fact Palpatine, who used a lightning attack to
send a current through his ship. Anakin and R2-D2 instinctively leap out, and lifting
Anakin from the edge of death with his rocket boosters, R2-D2 welded the doors to Padme’s
apartment, whilst his master battled Palpatine. The Sith Lord had not expected such hostility
from his close friend, and trying to convince him that the Jedi were the traitors, Anakin
did not fall for the tricks of the Sith Lord. Before Palpatine could increase his power
to kill Anakin, rather than test his powers, the other Jedi had surrounded him, and Windu
eliminated the threat to his life, by killing Palpatine. The tyranny and corruption in the
Galactic Republic were quickly exposed, and the powers of the subsequent Supreme Chancellors
were reduced, with the Jedi withdrawing from politics, but continuing to use the clones.
Yoda remained as the Grandmaster of the Order, until Anakin was ready to take the Jedi in
a different direction. That is it for what if Yoda and the clones
arrived earlier on Geonosis. If you enjoyed this what if, please like this video, turn
