Welcome back to part number 2 of what if Anakin Talked to Padme after Palpatine revealed he was
the Sith. Thank you for your support on part 1! If you are not aware of the first part,
or are not subscribed, please do those first before watching this video.
Aboard a Republic Venator Class star destroyer, Obi-Wan stood on the bridge alone, as all of
the clone troopers under his command, had been dispatched by Chancellor Bail Organa to hunt for
Palpatine. The Jedi master knew that if the Sith Lord had managed to deceive them for the entire
war, he would not be easily found, and finding Padme would be a simpler task. The Jedi turned
to the large mission briefing area, and found the code to Bail Organa, who was currently in his
new office. The Alderaanian senator looked at the figure of Obi-Wan, when he saw a Republic cruiser
hovering into the skyline, and he identified it to be that of Ahsoka Tano’s. Organa asks Obi-Wan to
return from his position, and perhaps the captured Maul could provide answers to their search.
The Jedi master took great satisfaction in his old foe’s demise, but he did not believe he should be
the one to interrogate Maul, not wishing to give into his anger, and summons Anakin from
the Temple. This was a welcome distraction for the Jedi, and Anakin is pleased to greet
his former padawan and the 501st Legion on one of Coruscant’s docking platforms. The cage of Maul is
brought by Commander Rex and several other clones troopers, and they take him to the Republic’s
military base for Anakin to interrogate. The Jedi intrudes Maul’s mind, but as expected,
the Zabrak resists the mind trick, and Anakin decides to pray on Maul’s hatred for Sidious.
The former Sith is eager to see his former master fall, even if it not at his blade,
and tells the Jedi of various locations where Sidious had visited and deposited holocrons,
narrowing the search for the Jedi. Leaving Maul to rot in his cell, he is guarded by a
group of Temple guards, and the Jedi head to the first location of Mustafar. Anakin, Obi-Wan and
Ahsoka each enter a starfighter, and approach the lava laden planet as quickly as possible.
The Jedi can feel the presence of darkness choking the air out of the surface, and enter
the mining area to search for what they hoped to be Palpatine. But as they enter a Separatist
war room, they find the bodies of many members of the Confederacy of Independent systems, fallen at
the hands of a lightsaber. The central holotable flickered into life with the help of R2-D2,
and Sidious’ figure appeared from a previous recording, informing that their use had come to
a premature end, before arriving to execute them. The Jedi walk further in, and Anakin spots Padme
unconscious and on the floor, then near her a broken Force cage. The Senator of Naboo is
revived using heir limited medical supplies, and she is relieved to see Anakin. Padme recounts how,
she had been captured alongside Luke and Leia, then brought to Mustafar in the midst of Sidious’
rampage. Trapped in a Force field with Luke and Leia, the twins had exhibited their first signs
of their power potential in the Force, and broken out of the prison to the anger of the
dark Lord of the Sith. Padme had been stunned by the attack, leaving Sidious to take Luke and Leia
to a new location. The inspired defence by Luke and Leia, provoked an idea from Anakin, and they
hurried back to their ships to leave the horrible planet. But as they leave the atmosphere, they
encounter the remains of the Separatist fleet, as their presence had triggered their movements.
Without any notable tactics however, the Jedi comfortably weave their way through,
before ordering those on Coruscant to complete a demolition of the fleet, then head
back to the Temple. The exhausted Padme is brought in front of the Council,
and she recalls the traumatic events once more, before Anakin proposes for the Council members to
meditate together, to search for Luke and Leia. Different visions arise to the Jedi masters,
as some sense other Force sensitive children, but Grandmaster Yoda locates the most intense
presence on the dark side planet of Korriban. This was highly logical to the Jedi, as Sidious would
need to corrupt the Skywalker twins to get them to become his future apprentices, but it did not
ease Anakin or Padme’s concerns. The Jedi gather their remaining Venator class star destroyers,
and then the clone troopers, holding them in the military base for a final time. Mace Windu
and Master Kenobi stand a top of a platform, and give a speech emphasising the importance of this
battle, and to be prepared for anything that could be equipped by the Sith, and the clones
roared into life. Anakin’s destroyer headed the front of the mighty Republic fleet, and the
others were waiting in the wings, as they surged to the location of the Republic’s last battle.
But for Anakin, this would be more than a battle, and the opportunity to start the family he craved.
That is it for part 2 of what if Anakin Talked to Padme after Palpatine revealed he was the Sith.
