Welcome back to part 2 of what if Ahsoka met Obi-Wan after Order 66. 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, the Ghost crew had travelled to Lothal to seek the advice
of Yoda, and after Ahsoka had worked out that Obi-Wan was located on Tatooine, they are
able to convince him to play a more active role in the Rebellion. Seizing Luke before
he fell into the hands of the Empire, they are now on the way to Malachor V…
With all of the adventurers aboard the Phantom, Obi-Wan familiarises himself with the interior
of the ship, when he heard the voice of Rex. Bursting into Ahsoka’s cabin, the former
clone trooper salutes the Jedi master, and Obi-Wan asked Rex to join them, against the
wishes of Ahsoka. Arriving from the Rebel base on Atollon, Obi-Wan had another reason
for Rex heading for Malachor, other than his wealth of experience, but keeping it to himself,
he soon senses the darkness he had been expecting. The Phantom landed on a flat and barren plain,
nearby an intimidating and ominous looking monolith, and as Obi-Wan carefully studied
the scripture on the outside, he knew they had to activate the trap, and lightly touched
the structure with the Force. The Rebels began dropping to the foundations of the Temple,
when Obi-Wan felt a presence, he had not felt since the clone war, and using his lightsaber
to cut a hole in the floor, he fell to an underground expanse. Pointing his lightsaber
in various directions, he finally spots his old enemy Maul, crouching amongst the limited
foliage. The Zabrak roared the name of the Jedi master, and brandishing his hidden blade,
he prepared for battle, when they heard the fighting from the old battlefield above them.
The Jedi master used the Force to boost his jump to the surface, and closing off his entrance,
Maul was forced to take a different path to the Temple. Helping the Rebels to defeat two
Inquisitors, they look for Ezra, but the Jedi padawan had disappeared. Kanan is fraught
with concern, and reopening Obi-Wan’s pit, he calls out Ezra’s name, but the only sound
that returned, were those of his own echoes. Running through the maze of tunnels, an eerie
sense of darkness stops in his path to Ezra, and he found an entrance to the Temple that
was already open, sensing the presence of Ezra. Watching in horror as the padawan used
the dark side to obtain a Sith holocron, Maul turned around to face Kanan, declaring that
the powers of Ezra Bridger now belonged to him. The Jedi knight carefully backed off
from what he believed to be the Sith, but there was nowhere to run for Kanan, and Ezra
now had the choice of what to do with the holocron. As Maul lifted him into the air
with the Force, the Jedi ran to the surface and past the other Rebels, then jumped onto
one of the elevators to the Temple’s obelisk. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka know they have little time
to spare, and dragging Kanan from his battle with Maul, they run to chase Ezra, avoiding
the incoming fighters piloted by the other Inquisitors. Taking the alternative path to
the summit, the Jedi and Ahsoka stop in their tracks, when they see the TIE Advanced Shuttle
of Vader ominously approaching, and quickly scramble to stop Ezra from placing the holocron
in the obelisk. With the superweapon failing to activate, Kanan escorts Ezra to the location
of the Phantom, when Vader arrived on top of his ship. Facing his old master and padawan,
Vader withdrew his offer to give mercy to Ahsoka, as she now sided with his biggest
enemy, and igniting his blade, he jumped down and leapt at them both. The power of the Sith
was considerably more than their previous encounters, but even so several of Anakin’s
old techniques remained, and they continued to push each other to the limits, until Maul
arrived. The former Sith looked in despair at the empty Obelisk, but having been spotted
by the duellists, there was no escape, so he joined the battle. The presence of Maul
was not one that Vader had expected, but he treated it as another challenge, and going
straight for the head of the Zabrak, Obi-Wan saw this as their chance to leave Malachor.
Avoiding the falling debris caused by Vader’s power, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka ran to the ramp
of the Phantom, not looking back to see the fate of Vader and Maul. Rex however, had seen
everything and staring in disbelief at what had happened to his old general, he tried
to turn the ship around, but the Jedi stop him. Returning to the Rebel base, the former
clone commander stood away from the briefing of the Rebels, still failing to process what
General Skywalker had turned into, and as the breeze washed over his head, he was determined
to bring him back to the light, whatever the cost. The voice of Ahsoka disturbed his ruminations,
and the former Jedi shared the same emotions as Rex, but she was more sceptical, as if
her and Obi-Wan could not change Vader, then the addition of Rex would not likely make
any difference. Walking back to Chopper base, the young and curious Luke Skywalker ran from
the Ghost, tinkering with a droid, and glancing at Obi-Wan, they knew the boy was their last
hope. Immediately beginning his training in the ways of the Force, the Rebels receive
a transmission from one of the Phoenix squadron, that Maul had fallen on Malachor, but that
Vader was nowhere to be found. The Jedi and Ahsoka knew that they were being hunted, so
they would need to protect Luke at all costs. That is it for part 2 of what if Ahsoka met
