What If Anakin didn’t KILL any JEDI during Order 66?

In this Star Wars What If scenario, let’s see what would have happened if Palpatine sent Anakin directly to Mustafar after executing Order 66 thereby Anakin not having to kill any Jedi during the purge.

I imagine Bail Organa sitting there listening to Anakin ramble like
mhm... yeah, uh-huh, yeah, yeah, Yes, of course.
So... Why didn't the clones attack you?
(shakes head) Yeah, dude, totally. can't believe I didn't think of that.
So you didn't do anyth-
U forgor? (Nods) (Nods). Yeah, makes sense, makes sense.

I love that Obi-Wan and Yoda's punishment was literally just retirement

[jimmyramos]

That part where Yoda cuts Palps head in half was the chefs kiss. Yoda aint got no time for dat!!!

Padme would absolutely stay with Anakin even if he did reveal the whole truth. She almost forgave him for killing the Jedi younglings. lol.

funnily enough, anakin hardly even did anything wrong in this timeline. he killed the sand people, sure, but that's over and forgotten. besides that, what did he do? he killed mace windu, justified in that it was in defense of palpatine, and he killed the separatists on mustafar, which was fully justified by him being a general ordered by a superior to kill leaders of the opposing party of an ongoing war. even if the precise truth of his situation was found out, i'm not sure any of it would blow up in his face either politically or in his relationship.

*Most of this video is accurate. Changes I would make to this video:*
- Anakin would talk to Padmé before he goes to Mustafar. He would say everything on his mind.
- Anakin goes to Mustafar and kills the Seperatist leaders. This will mark the official end to the Clone Wars for the senate later on.
- Padmé will follow Anakin to Mustafar just like in the main timeline. She'll get a message from Bail Organa with the truth.
- Obi-Wan is not there so there would be no duel. He wouldn't force shoke Padmé.
- Obi-Wan & Yoda fight the Chancellor and he'll be killed. They'll both testify to the Senate and explain everything.
- The Senate will declare the Clone Wars to be over and will return to being a Galactic Republic. Elections will happen later.
- Padmé calms Anakin down and he accepts that his visions clouded his judgement and that he will better himself.
- Anakin comes to the Light side once again and go with Padmé to the hospital. Luke, Leia & Padmé all will be healthy.
- Anakin will later on contact Master Yoda & Obi-Wan to inform what really happened. He'll talk to the Jedi Council.
- Anakin will leave the Jedi Order and will have a normal life, with Padmé, Luke, Leia, Ahsoka & Captain Rex on Naboo.
- Jar Jar Binks will stay the Naboo senator and will step down later on for a new senator. Bail Organa will be the new Chancellor.
- C3PO & R2-D2 will also stay on Naboo with the Skywalker family. Obi-Wan & Bail Organa and his wife will come to visit often too.
- Master Yoda never goes into hiding on Dagobah but instead will train Obi-Wan and other Jedi Masters to become Force Ghosts.
- There will be new Council members. The Jedi Order will rebuild with peace again in the galaxy.
- Events from The Bad Batch, Rebels, Solo, Rogue One & Episode IV-VI will never happen. The Bad Batch goes into retirement.
- The Clone facility on Kamino will not be destroyed. Luminara Undulli & Kanan Jarrus and Jedi hunted by Darth Vader won't be killed.
- Ben Solo becoming a Sith can still happen. Snoke & Palpatine's clones won't be there though.
- Leia & Luke won't die the same methods as in Episode VIII & IX. They'll stay alive and help Ben forgive himself and return to the light side.

Seeing the vid title I imagine Anakin leading the 501st to the temple but he trips on the stairs and tells the leading command to take over and as such there's a lot more survivors.

[matthewmohri]

Completely disarming him...LOL That had me rolling. I am not sure if that was meant to be funny but I got more than a chuckle.

[megaman]

The funniest thing about this story is that due to Anakin only killing the Separatists, he doesn't really need redemption, as if the Separatist leaders were caught they'd be executed for their war crimes anyway. Meaning the only real blood on Anakins hands would be that of Mace Windu, but considering Mace was about to break the Jedi Code by killing an unarmed combatant after harping on Anakin for not strictly following the Jedi Code for the ENTIRE Clone Wars, I think Anakin did the Jedi a favor by removing someone as undeserving of the title of "Jedi" as Mace Windu.

[SigTheSauceMan]

A little problem: The restricted section of the Jedi Archives was still protected by Jocasta Nu and Cator (a Guardian-Protector Droid), which was basically a Battle Master at lightsaber combat. In the canon Darth Vader comic where we see Vader (now in his armor) raiding the Jedi Temple Archives, he has a tough time again Nu and Cator (which also identified Vader as Anakin based on his lightsaber combat style). Even if Jocasta Nu was not there at the time, Cator would be. And he would NOT allow Anakin to enter or access anything there.

Also, I feel like the ending of this one was good. Anakin having to live with what he did, and even keep it a secret from his family. But I feel like it would eat at Anakin over time. And Padme is too smart to not figure it out eventually. Anakin would have to have truly made peace with his actions and secrets to be able to go on.

Also, I think you made Anakin seem a little too guilty here, anyways. In this version of events, he only aided in the death of Windu (which was objectively justifiable, morally and legally, given Anakin's state of mind and Windu actually going rogue) and killed the CIS' leadership (who were the enemies of the Republic anyways, so I don't think that'd be a problem either way).

Anakin's charges would be (at most):
1. Murder of the 15 members of the Separatist Council
Given that these were the leaders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the enemy of the Republic, during a time of war, it's almost certain Anakin would face no punishment for this.

2. Accomplice to the murder of Jedi Master of the Order, Mace Windu.
Because Palpatine's nature as a Sith (and thus a Force user) was being concealed (mostly due to the general public's ignorance of the difference between Jedi and Sith), it could not be said that Palpatine was armed or dangerous, and therefore Mace Windu was wrong to use deadly force against him, and thus Anakin was right in turning against Windu.

Also, in this version of events, Anakin had absolutely no part in Order 66 or Operation Knightfall. Not once did Anakin turn his blade against another Jedi with the intention of killing them or otherwise betraying the Jedi Order. He DID basically cause Windu's death, but he only disarmed Windu (but the fact Anakin was responsible for Windu's death would be concealed, as it would require revealing Palpatine's nature as a Sith, which would only cause more problems for the Jedi).

It can be easily twisted to say that Anakin simply once again proved himself the hero of the Republic by single-handedly tracking down and eliminating the CIS' leaders, ending the war.

Anakin did make a wrong choice, but in the end he did the right thing and helped his fellow Jedi.

[MrRatchet]

This feels like an secret ending to the Revenge of the Sith.

Also, do only I imagine this whole what-if as an Ace Attorney episode?
It would be pretty hilarious to see Phoenix talking to Anakin in that jail cell tho lmao.

[cheesydanishgaming]

We’re overlooking a little detail here
Padme would have no reason to go to mustafar as the only reason she went there was to warn Anakin that Obi Wan was looking for him and quoting Obi wan saying that he had fallen to the dark side

[haydenfowle]

Don't forget Tambor who deserved it too he starved millions of Twileks during his occupation of Ryloth and later took Echo as prisoner and used his algorithms to deliver crushing defeats at Anaxes

It’s hard to find a good “what if” channel. Your one of them, keep up the good work.

[jacoblaughlin]

Not a bad video. You misunderstood the palpatine running scene though. Palpatine never considered yoda his equal. He respected yodas power and skill, but not equal to his own power. Palpatine also knows yoda is dead set on fighting and killing him. so knowing that yoda uses Ataru(which highly excels at acrobatic flips and strikes and jumps) palpatine was trying to get to the hallway where yoda had less space to move around so palpatine would have more of an advantage. The run to the hallway was strategic.

[k.jsparks]

I feel like if theirs no Anakin then theirs no temple massacre. The Jedi held back two assaults before Anakin arrived. Most likely the younglings would’ve escaped as would Jocosta nu. (who in the og timeline was going to find the force sensitive kids and start a new order) not to mention grogu reva sevander and others. In this universe the exiled jedi would go from a small pocket to potentially hundreds. Furthermore in this universe the grand inquisitor may not turn at all or at least much later. Perhaps the exiled jedi could setup a secret order led by kenobi yoda and jocasta nu on degobahh or some other jedi homeworld. Kal kestis would most likely find his way to this order much earlier than him being found by cere, potentially being much more powerful than when we meet him. All in all i think anakin not going to the temple would have much more drastic effects for the sith order. Last part; also in this universe the rebellion would likely be much stronger and the inquisitors would be much higher in number to counteract this jedi remnant . Kamino may even hold on much longer and multiple clone armys could be raised.

[LoliFoxQueen]

one thing i find a little off with this is the lack of jedi killed by lightsabers, after all the grand inquisitor would have still turned traitor in this scenario and would have likely helped kill the jedi in anakin's place.

[Dragoninja]

Wow, you somehow made it feel so complete but also left it open-ended on what will happen after, this is the second video I've seen of yours and have been impressed by both

[SaturnBlade]

So far I'm giving this a listen cuz I just discovered your channel. But Anakin not being there would have played a huge difference in the survival of the Jedi more than could have escaped because Anikan is not there to deal with the

[damianmorningstar]

Wouldn’t they still find Lightsaber wounds because of the Temple Guardian that became an Inquisitor?
