What IF Yoda Trained Anakin Skywalker

What if Anakin Skywalker was trained by Yoda instead of Obi-Wan? In this alternate Star Wars timeline, Anakin grows up under the direct mentorship of Grand Master Yoda, keeping him isolated from politics and Palpatine’s influence. Without his connection to Padmé, his path unfolds in a very different way.

In Part 1, we explore Anakin’s training within the Jedi Temple, his struggles with isolation, and the unique lessons Yoda instills in him. As the Clone Wars begin, Anakin finds himself held back while others are knighted, leading to a deeply personal journey that changes everything.

Love it. And I hope you put both a light and dark side ending. But if I’m really honest I’d like for an ending that is neither but Anakin being the chosen one and influencing both Jedi and Sith how to be fully balanced in the force instead of dogmatically following their own ideas on the force

[stanlee]

Let him become someone able to walk the thin line between both the dark and light side, patient and wise like Yoda, skillfull like the best of jedi in all aspects of the force ... He is after all "The chosen One" the one to bring balance to the force

A good story. A most enjoyable way to spend my time. If you want to. You might consider doing both lightside and darkside endings to your tail. But personally I'm a bit old school I like the heros to win but I like them to work hard to earn it. That kind of character development is just so much more enjoyable and satisfying to watch in my opinion. Thank you for writing such excellent stories and creating such excellent content. Kind regards from Daniel Harman.

Loved the video look forward to part 2

[dianesinger]

I liked stories of Anakin being trained by Yoda. It always seems to make him more patient. I would like a part 2 and I would like a light side ending.

[kingMalcolm]

Id prefer a light side ending but overall well done man

[RavenEbony]

Interesting. I'd prefer a light side ending, personally.

[jeremyowens]

I would definitely like to see a lightside ending.

[darthethan]

Part 2! Why not both a light and dark ending?

[joelstalcup]

Great story. Light side ending for part 2.

[ppacal]

Light side ending, you shouldn't go through a butt load of pain and discipline without learning something significant and just turning to the dark.

[samuelchappell]

Being that Yoda trained Him in this episode, it would take much to turn Anakin to the dark side of the force, and since Padme was executed, Luke as well as Leia was never born. A dark side ending wouldn't play out even if Obi Wan as well as Asoka was killed. I cannot see any dark side ending because much is based on supposition and guess work.

I fuck with it💯 light side ending please

[____________]

Preferably light sided ending.
Thematically it fits as well. Anakin was Palpatine’s hail-Mary, the linchpin of all the plans. With Skywalker out of his grasp due to both upbringing and his newfound ability to accept loss peacefully, the only thing Palpatine can actually do is Execute Order 66… and even that can’t be as effective as it was in-canon, because Anakin won’t be leading the 501st into the temple, and in fact might be actively resisting them at the temple instead.

I would like a dark side ending because I didn’t get Tuscan Raiders death

[FarhaanIqbal-yooh]

I can’t bear to see a sad yoda so please let their be a light side ending

[JeremiahWiebe]

And the only other way I could see it playing out is him taking the young Tuscan Raiders to the Jedi for them to put in something homes

[JeremiahWiebe]

In my opinion, I respect Yoda less in this scenario because if he wasn’t gonna be physically, fighting sure that lesson could’ve been given to him, but after that, they should’ve went in a battle meditation

[Darth_Revan_Reborn]

Light side ending. Also, What if Revan (Revan Reborn) wasn't found in stasis by the republic until the first year of the clone wars? That would mean that Revan in his prime would be alive and well, and Darth Vitiate's spirit would still be dormant since Revan didn't awake his spirit at Yavin.

[JeremiahWiebe]

In my opinion, he should already be fighting in the clone wars
