Upon the guidance of exiled Jedi Grandmaster Yoda, the Rebel crew of Ahsoka Tano,
Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger, go to the planet of Malachor, in a bid to find a way to defeat
Darth Vader and his team of Inquisitors. Approaching a monolith inscribed in ancient texts,
Ezra accidentally triggers the power within, and they fall into an ancient chasm below.
Ahsoka is able to identify that they had fallen right into the foundations of a Sith Temple,
and walking through an ancient battle, Ezra fell into an underground tunnel
after they battled an Inquisitor. There the Jedi padawan meets a strange Force user
called the Old master, who was actually the former Sith Darth Maul who manipulated Ezra into taking
the holocron from within the Temple. Tasking what he thought to be new apprentice to activate the
Superweapon with the holocron, Maul turned upon the Rebels and blinded Kanan, until he was stopped
by Ahsoka and Kanan. But what if Maul had never betrayed the Rebels? How would this affect Ezra?
Would it change the outcome of the duel between Ahsoka and Vader? As you will discover, Maul’s
loyalty could have transformed the Rebellion… Thrusting his lightsaber through the Seventh
Sister, Maul looked at Ezra in disappointment, and his failure to deal the killing blow.
He realised then that Ezra would never become the powerful apprentice that he needed,
were he to get his revenge on Sidious. Instead of turning upon the Rebels as he planned, Maul guided
Ezra to the top of the Temple, whilst Ahsoka and Kanan were distracted with the other Inquisitors,
and they placed the holocron inside the Obelisk. The structure began to glow, as the superweapon
slowly charged to its full potential, until Maul sensed the presence of Darth Vader growing closer
and closer. On one of the lower levels, Ahsoka and Kanan had defeated the fifth and eighth brothers,
before finding themselves bathed in a glowing purple light from the obelisk.
Ahsoka also sensed the dark presence of Vader in the TIE Advanced Starfighter hovering above her,
and instructed him to take the holocron out, before it could wreak havoc on the planet,
as she tried to battle the Sith. But as they reached the summit, Vader was already there, and
battling Maul. Kanan saw that Ezra was scrambling towards the obelisk despite an injury, and ran to
his padawan to retrieve the holocron. As Maul got pushed into a pit below, Vader turns to meet his
former apprentice, and offers to spare her life. Ahsoka ignites her blades to avenge her former
master, but as they are about to lock blades, Maul flew from the side of the cliff face, and thumped
Vader on his helmet, cutting through the top layer. Maul tried to take advantage of his attack,
and kill the Sith apprentice, but he was stopped by Ahsoka. Vader looked up from the ground,
expecting Maul to deal the killing blow, but realised that the Zabrak and himself had the same
goal, to find and kill Obi-Wan Kenobi. Hearing the name of the renowned Jedi master, Ahsoka
claimed that he had killed along with the other Jedi in Order 66, but Vader and Maul disagree,
believing he was still in hiding. Just as Maul and Vader were about to turn their blades upon Ahsoka,
the ground began to shake as the Temple began to seal, after the holocron had been removed
from the obelisk, and Ahsoka dived for the closing gap. Escaping with the Ghost crew, this left Maul
and Vader in the exploding Temple, and they had to think quickly together, so they pierce their
lightsabers into the floor below, and tumble out into the depths of the Temple. Vader wheezed as
he scrambled out and found Maul nearby, who was moving to one of the TIE Advanced Starfighters
which the Inquisitors had left behind. Not a words was said between them, as Vader
guided Maul to his personal star destroyer, and they landed side by
side in his hangar. The Imperial officers point their blasters at the second ship,
but Vader waves them off as Maul steps out, and together, they head to the bridge. The two dark
side users begin to discuss in tracking Obi-Wan, and Maul is insistent that Ezra held the key,
so they needed to retrieve the holocron. Back aboard the Phantom, Ahsoka was still recovering
from learning the truth about Obi-Wan. Ezra walked into the room, and Ahsoka finally
admitted that Vader had been her former master Anakin Skywalker, and now he was after Obi-Wan.
Ezra twirls the holocron in his hand, and is insistent that they had to find the Jedi master.
Whilst Ahsoka appreciated the help and enthusiasm, this was a journey she had to make without him.
Landing on the Rebel base of Atollon, Ahsoka cannot bare to look at Captain Rex, now knowing
the truth that Anakin would not return, and took one of the T6 shuttles to Alderaan.
Floating serenely through the clouds, the former Jedi padawan is met by Leia Organa.
Ahsoka bowed to the Rebel Princess, and asked to meet her father,
stating that this was an emergency. Bail Organa soon walked out with two of his guards, and Ahsoka
wanted to know the truth about Obi-Wan, recalling what Maul and Vader had told her, and that he was
in danger. The Senator of Alderaan reluctantly deployed a projection of the galaxy, and pointed
to Tatooine. It was time to find the Jedi master. That is it for part 1 of what if Maul never
betrayed the Rebels. If you’d like to see a part 2 soon, please like this video,
