After obtaining the coordinates to Moff Gideon’s light cruiser, the Mandalorian Din Djarin
set about rescuing the Force Sensitive child Grogu. As he could not go alone, he enlisted
the help of the Mandalorian warriors Bo Katan and Koska Reeves, alongside the captured Dr
Pershing and his Lambda Class Shuttle. Whilst Boba Fett creates a diversion with the Slave
I, the group infiltrate the cruiser according to plan. Soon however, their plan begins to
fall apart, as the Mandalorian separated to attempt a rescue. Despite depressurising a
platoon of dark troopers, and defeating Moff Gideon in combat, the rescuers were confined
to the bridge, as the dark troopers began to breach the ray shields. The droids soon
slammed the blast doors, and having had trouble defeating one, an entire legion seemed impossible.
But before the dark troopers could break through, an X-Wing boarded their ship, and its pilot
took the attention away from the rescuers. The hooded figure used a lightsaber and Force
abilities to destroy the troopers, and the others had been saved. Entering the bridge,
the figure reveals themselves to the Jedi Luke Skywalker, and this was the home Din
Djarin had been looking for, passing over Grogu from his protection. But what if Luke
Skywalker had never saved Grogu? Would the Mandalorian and his allies escape? What would
Moff Gideon do? As you are about to discover, the absence of Luke Skywalker could have altered
the fate of those aboard the cruiser… Moff Gideon smirked as he watched the monitor
of the dark troopers, homing in on their location. Soon everyone would be dead, apart from him.
Now they could hear the dark troopers, turning towards them, and punching their blast doors.
Beside him, Bo Katan was furiously looking at the monitors, until she had a brainwave.
Running to the nearby subspace transceiver, Bo Katan sent an emergency transmission to
the planet of Corvus, asking for the help of Ahsoka Tano, and the Child was in danger.
Before she could add further details, the dark troopers had broken through. Everyone
turned to deflect the fire from the blaster rifle, hiding behind the controls for cover,
but the dark troopers stepped on top of them, as Fennec Shand was lifted into the air, then
pushed into the window. From the ground, Gideon attempts to kill her, but it stopped by Bo
Katan, who threw Gideon into the dark troopers. This was a momentary distraction for the third-generation
combat droids, who stopped firing, and resorted to heavy punches. Mando rolled across the
floor, picking up Grogu, fortunate that his Beskar armour could withstand the powerful
hits, relocating him in a small corner, before using his pure beskar staff. After killing
several dark troopers, the platoon sent repeated punches at his head, projecting him backwards.
Everyone was cornered, and their only consolation was that Moff Gideon had been killed in the
battle. Suddenly, Grogu began waddling from his corner, and looked outside, as the Slave
I fired at the ship, as Boba Fett tried to distract the dark troopers, sending shockwaves
throughout it. The dark troopers quickly got to their feet, but failed to notice that another
ship had entered, and this one was a T-6 Shuttle. From the monitors, the group could see the
glowing white lightsabers of Ahsoka Tano, moving in a blur, and soon the former Jedi
padawan arrived to save them from the shock troopers. Greeting Bo Katan, Ahsoka had received
the transmission from Bo Katan, and had traced the signal to the cruiser of Moff Gideon,
now watching Grogu emerge. Mando recalls their failed attempt to search for a Jedi on top
of Tython, and Ahsoka asks for him to try again, and this time, she would help him.
Leaving Moff Gideon’s cruiser to Bo Katan and Koska Reeves, Fennec Shand joins Boba
Fett on his personal journey to the former palace of Jabba the Hutt, whilst Din Djarin
and Cara Dune join Ahsoka on a journey to Tython. The T6 Shuttle docked near the remaining
parts of the Razor Crest, and Ahsoka walked up to the seeing stone with Grogu in her arms.
Together, they meditated, and with the help of Ahsoka, they extend the range of their
beacon. Without the threat of Moff Gideon’s forces, Cara Dune soon spots an X-Wing flying
from a distance, and Ahsoka walks down the hill, sensing a powerful presence in the Force.
As soon as she saw the hooded figure step out of the ship, Ahsoka collapsed onto the
grass. Waking up, she found Luke Skywalker hovering over her, and she could not believe
she was gazing at her master’s offspring. Bowing to the Jedi, Ahsoka and Luke walk in
silence, as they clamber to Grogu and the Seeing Stone. Holding Grogu in his arms, Luke
is curious about Ahsoka, having heard about her work in the Rebellion from Leia, and the
former Jedi tells Luke about her past, including his father. Luke senses the guilt from Ahsoka
at his father’s turn to the dark side, and informs her of what had happened during the
Battle of Endor, with Vader turning into Anakin again. As if to confirm the truth, Ahsoka
heard a voice she thought she would never hear again, and turned around to see the spirit
of her master. Anakin asks Ahsoka to consider joining Luke’s new Jedi Order, and help
raise Grogu, but Ahsoka still had scars from the clone wars, refusing the offer until she
was ready. As Anakin’s ghost faded away, Luke took off into space.
That is it for what if Luke Skywalker never saved Grogu in the Mandalorian. If you enjoyed
