Welcome back for the finale of what if Commander Cody refused to execute Order 66. Thank you
for your support on part 1 of this what if. If you haven’t seen the first part, the
link will be in the description below. Several troopers of the 212th Attack Battalion
carried Vader through the Temple, when Palpatine’s voice echoed across the walls. The Sith Lord
deemed it useless for the Jedi to resist the inevitable, and they would soon fall under
the new Galactic Empire. The group try to speed their way out, but soon find themselves
surrounded from all angles, by Palpatine’s clone troopers. The Jedi form a defensive
shape, as the clones fired. The Jedi use Anakin’s frozen chamber as a shield, and scuttle their
way out of the Temple. Running to the underworld of Coruscant, in a bid to escape the grasp
of Palpatine, Republic gunships surround them, and Yoda decides that they should allow themselves
to be captured, much to the confusion of the others. They slowly raise their hands in surrender,
and the clones get out of their ships, pointing their blaster rifles at the skulls of the
Jedi. Just as they were about to tie up the Jedi, they failed to see Yoda sitting in the
middle, and the Grandmaster performed a Force wave in all directions, pushing the clones
into the walls of the Underworld. Ahsoka and Rex grab the closest gunship, and they fly
away into the night sky. Yoda set the ship course for the planet of Dagobah, even if
not for the long term, as supplies would be a struggle for the clones. Eventually landing
on the swamp covered planet, the Obi-Wan and Ahsoka are still confused as to Yoda’s plan,
but it soon becomes clear. Yoda levitates Vader, and dumps him into the Dark Side cave,
shielding his presence from the Emperor. Then asking Bail and the clones to leave and form
the beginnings of the Rebellion, the Jedi lay in the shadows like the Sith had done
to them. Over the next decades, Palpatine struggled to replace the killing machine he
had in mind of Vader, instead turning former Temple guards to the dark side to do his bidding.
Palpatine slowly began to grow wary of something in the Force, lurking in the background, and
he wondered of it had something to do with Vader. Back on Dagobah, Luke and Leia had
trained studiously under Yoda, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka, and they are ready to surprise the
Emperor. All of the Jedi and Ahsoka travel from the planet, leaving Padme and the clones
to guard Vader, failing to notice a darkness masking itself amongst them. The light side
users go to Bail Organa’s cruiser, and receive intelligence that Palpatine was visiting his
home planet. The Rebellion take most of their officers and resources to the planet, and
the Jedi and Ahsoka are taken in a gunship to the surface below. Entering the Royal palace,
Obi-Wan had a bad feeling about what was going to happen, and still cannot sense the Sith.
At the head of the main table, appeared to be Palpatine, but they find it to be a dummy,
and soon they are surrounded by the Inquisitors. Yoda knows that this is a mere distraction,
and along with Obi-Wan, go out to contact Bail Organa, and the Senator reports that
Vader was now in the hands of the Empire. The two Jedi are whisked away, leaving Ahsoka,
Luke and Leia to battle the Jedi killers. Obi-Wan and Yoda make it one of the Emperor’s
new Star destroyers, and go to rescue Vader, Padme and the clones. The Imperial troopers
are no match for the Jedi, and they soon see the Emperor flanked by two Royal Guards, on
a balcony above them. Yoda leapt straight for the Emperor, whilst Obi-Wan went to free
the prisoners. The Jedi master however, was met by a massive wall of Imperial troopers,
and even if he could hold them off, he could not get through the defences. Suddenly, a
Rebel ship hovered near the hangar, and out tumbled Ahsoka, Luke and Leia, who went to
Obi-Wan’s aid. The addition of the three Force users allows ground to be gained, but
Yoda was struggling and even worse for them, Palpatine ordered for the release of Vader.
The Jedi and Ahsoka continue to battle through the Imperials, but they are too late to stop
Vader’s body popping out from his chamber. With one accurate lightsaber throw, Obi-Wan
releases the cuffs off of all the clones, and they take blasters from the nearby munitions
room to join the Rebels, allowing Obi-Wan to go to Yoda. The presence of the Soresu
master is a welcome sight for Yoda, and it allows him to use his speed to get around
the Sith Lord. As Vader croaked from hibernation sickness, Yoda knew he had little time, and
lunged at Palpatine in one last desperate strike. The Sith Lord and grandmaster fell
at the same time, as Yoda had sacrificed himself to kill Sidious. Obi-Wan watches sadly at
the fall of Yoda, but focuses as he hears Vader. Walking in front of the unfrozen Vader,
Obi-Wan is relieved to find that Vader had become Anakin again, after the Emperor had
fallen. As Anakin’s vision recovers, the clones all salute the Jedi general, Ahsoka
ran to Anakin, and Cody knew that he had been right to not Execute Order 66.
