Welcome back to part number 2 and the finale of what if Yoda had premonitions of Anakin turning
to the dark side. Thank you to those of you who watched the first part! To recap what happened in
the first part, if you haven’t seen it, Yoda had discovered the significance of Anakin from visions
on Dagobah, and after Dooku had discovered the Jedi’s search for the real identity of his master,
he had given them the final clue to destroy Darth Sidious. Now the Jedi begin to narrow
the candidates for the title of the Sith Lord… The Jedi knew that for the plan to succeed, they
could not trust anyone, not even Anakin Skywalker, who they deemed to be too close to Senator Amidala
and the supreme Chancellor, the latter of whom they had become suspicious of. First summoning the
senator of Naboo to their Chamber, they test her Force sensitivity, and find that it was too low
to be considered for entry into the Order, and she was allowed to walk free. But as she departed, she
encountered Anakin running back from the senate building, and to the Council. The Jedi knight
had just spoken to his friend Palpatine, and he had recommended for the Council to provide Anakin
with a seat, as his very own representative. Yoda, Windu and Obi-Wan knowingly looked at each other,
as this was the final clue they had been waiting for. Palpatine had revealed his hand, and aligned
with Dooku’s hints, and Yoda’s visions of Anakin, the supreme Chancellor must be the Sith Lord.
The Jedi Council decide to summon Palpatine, under the impression that he would be questioning
his reasoning for appointing Anakin, instead of detecting his Force sensitivity. In his office,
the Sith Lord turned to the holograms of the Jedi Council members, requesting his presence,
and he felt a disturbance in the Force. Accepting their invitation, he turned to Mas Amedda
and asked for his ship to be prepared, then set course for Dooku’s home planet of Serenno,
and landed just outside of his palace. Dooku bowed to his master’s unexpected visit,
before being bathed in a lightning attack from Sidious. The Sith lord could not be deceived
by his apprentice’s attack on Coruscant’s industrial sector, and continued his attack,
lifting him into the air, then crushing him with one of the pillars of his palace,
leaving him for dead, knowing he would soon have a more powerful apprentice. Ordering
Grievous to use the Nexus route coordinates and prepare for an attack on the Galactic City,
Palpatine entered the Jedi temple as the Jedi had requested. The Chancellor felt the
Ancient Sith foundations beneath him giving him power, climbing the steps to the Council spire.
Awaiting his arrival were all of the Council members and Anakin, so he ordered Grievous to
begin his attack, and Order 66 to commence upon his move on the Jedi. Yoda could sense the change
in mood from the usually benevolent Chancellor, and the imminent danger, so silently signalled
for Obi-Wan to escort Anakin as far away from the darkness as he could, before Windu tried to
perform the midichlorian tests on Palpatine. But as the Jedi master reached to take a blood sample,
the Sith burst into action, sending a powerful wave around the room, before seeking Anakin. Yoda
got to his feet first, scarcely believing the ferocity of the attack, before gazing outside
and seeing the clones entering the Temple with Grievous and the droids. To his relief, Anakin
and Obi-Wan had managed to hold them off, and they began to tackle Grievous, as more Jedi moved
to assist them. The Jedi master and his padawan worked seamlessly together, deflecting the frenzy
of strikes in their direction, and attempting to slice off one limb at a time, but they struggled
to gain ground until Master Windu leapt from above to crush Grievous’ chest and
leave them open for a joint killing blow. Despite the fall of Grievous, many Jedi masters, knights
and younglings had fallen at the hands of the clones and the droids, and Palpatine helped the
rampage. Crucially, Obi-Wan had not allowed Anakin out of his sight, and as they catch the Sith,
Anakin looks horrified as Palpatine asked him to join him and fulfil his destiny. Yoda arrived
just in time to push Palpatine out onto the floor, knocking over a group of clones, and he refused to
let the premonitions become a reality. Palpatine growled at the little green Jedi, igniting his
blade, as light and dark began to duel. The two were evenly matched, as those approaching
the battle flew back from the energy emitted, all except Anakin. The Jedi knight had made a choice,
and with the Council’s faith in his marriage to Padme, he dealt the killing strike to end the war.
Yoda collapsed the floor in exhaustion, but glad that his teachings and those of the Jedi had been
correct, as the future was always in motion. Anakin’s faith in the Order had been justified,
as he could continue his marriage to Padme, and ensure that the darkness would not rise again.
That is it for what if Yoda had premonitions of Anakin turning to the dark side.
