Anakin: Help me!
Obi Wan: If I do that, the original Trilogy can't come to pass!
Anakin: Understandable. Have a nice day... Oh, wait, I'm a Sith now. I HATE YOU!

[speedstorm]

That's a _very_ good point. Anakin's eyes not *fully* turning yellow-orange until _after_ Obi-Wan refuses to help. That would imply that Obi-Wan had one last chance to save Anakin, and he messed it up.

"Help me, Master!"
"No."
**Anakin's eyes finally finish turning into the Sith orange/yellow**

*"I HATE YOU!"*

What if Palpatine found Anakin's severed limbs on the lava bank and assumed that Anakin's body had slid into the river of lava? As a last resort, he gathers the arm and both legs and takes them to his cloning labs.

We need a what IF. We need it. This story completes my life

Padme: Is Anakin alright?

Obi Wan: Mostly. Youll have to be used to one armed hugs and he won't have a leg to stand on during any conflicts.

I like the concept of Anakin not becoming Vader because Anakin has always been my favorite character since I was a kid and episode 2 came out. I will say Vader is the most iconic part of Star Wars and even people who have told me they haven’t watched the films can describe Vader.

This was beautiful. If Disney ever wanted to reboot the series, this would be one way. This would be epic.

[darrellhall]

Disney, are you paying attention? This is how you do Star Wars

[mistirion]

The nice thing about this alternative story is that anikans way of learning and applying balance more than dogmatic use of purely the light reflects what canon qui gon jin did and was.
He wasn't a "pure" jedi, rather a servant of the force which he was guided by.

[AgentExeider]

It's stories like this, that make me want to see a Star Wars What If series.

[quantran-fnpy]

This story is much more heart-warming.

And there is a stronger feeling of redemption

[podcastbard]

This is the path i wish Star Wars took. You're an awesome writer. Hope you continue the story.

[carsonsmovieworld]

These types of fan fiction are proof that Star Wars still has a lot of potential for redemption

[Consolous]

This is how you write a Star Wars story. This alternate dimension would've also made for a good movie had been the canon, very well written. I liked the addition of Maul and what he did in the story, a nice twist and it made him more dynamic. Would love to see a continuation of this. The only thing is I would've liked to see more of Obi Wan and to know what happened to him in the end

In the original time-line , Yoda was just as responsible for the slaughter of the jedi as Anakin was .
The priestesses of the Wills showed Yoda a vision of the destruction of the jedi by the clones , but he kept it to himself and didn't tell anyone .
Plus Anakin went to him for guidance about his visions and Yoda wrote them off and told Anakin to rejoice that his friend was going to die ( and to not mourn or miss her . )
So from a certain point of view , he was more responsible than Anakin.

I like this alternate story. I hope a series will be made reflecting this perspective.

[redfire]

This was a really great story. The artwork in it was absolutely superb!!

[Ravenfanatic]

This was a well thought out video. You gotta do a Part 2 cuz of Sidious escaping to the Unknown Regions. Maybe Sidious will run into Abeloth or the Vong and there won't be a need for part 2

[elizabethdove]

This fan What If makes more sense and works perfectly.

[nitrousoxide]

Why do I feel like crying the whole time while watching this, wish this could be a movie
