What if Anakin Didn't Take a Seat? FULL MOVIE

Welcome to this full fan fiction, completed with part 2 picking up right where we left off in last week's part 1.
As Mace moved with Kenobi to attack Palpatine, Yoda quickly turned to push the clones so hard into the wall behind them, that they broke through the wall itself. He used the force to break the door to Palpatine’s office so no more clones could enter.
Sidious sends a massive bolt of lightning at Yoda who is shot backwards into the wall. As Mace and Obi-Wan advance on him, Anakin watched them all fight in a colourful blur of their sabers, almost like a dancing flower as its colourful pedals swayed with the wind. He had never seen anyone move as fast as Palpatine. He felt he should join in with his fellow masters, but the conflict within him was strong. Palpatine was the only one who could show him the way to save Padme. If he died, Padme died too. Mace Windu was pushed back with the force as Palpatine twirled steadfast onto Obi-Wan. It all was happening in the blink of an eye as Anakin watched from the corner of Palpatine’s desk. Kenobi looked shaky, he had never seen his master like this. Even against Dooku all those years ago on Geonosis, he had looked more confident. His master wouldn’t survive. What was worse, his instincts thought, his wife dying, or his best friend infront of him? Sidious used the force to choke Kenobi, raising him into the air. Windu and Yoda slowly rolled around as they tried to get to their feet, failing. Smoke emanating from their robes. Anakin felt the beads of sweat dripping down his brow, falling into the crevice of his scar like a tiny creek, the same scar that asajj dealt him years prior during the clone wars.
He watched the life leaving Kenobi, his best friend, his mentor. The man who raised him when Qui-Gon died. Willing to leave the jedi just to fulfill his promise. Kenobi’s saber fell from his hand as Palpatine writhed with power. One hand up in the air, and the other clenching his saber. Where Kenobi’s feet were kicking the air as hard as he could, now reduced to just feeble punts as he immediately dropped to the ground. Palpatine head first into the wall. Skywalker looked over to Kenobi as he lay unconscious on the ground. Please don’t be dead, he thought. His lightsaber ignited as he stared at Palpatine who got up and saw it was Anakin who did that. Like a bantha in headlights, Palpatine was shocked Skywalker would do such a thing.
YOU WERE BEHIND THIS ENTIRE WAR.
PLAYING BOTH SIDES.
YOU WERE BEHIND THE ASSASSINATIONS ON PADME’S LIFE
YOU CONTROLLED DOOKU
I…I trusted you.
Palpatine didn’t know what to say, for the first time. He merely just looked at Anakin, then to the boy’s blue lightsaber.
Are you going to kill me?
Skywalker, stand down. You are too conflicted
Mace was shot back into Palpatine’s desk as it crumbled into pieces.
Anakin didn’t even take his gaze off Palpatine.
He walked towards him as Palpatine summoned his saber from his hand, standing in the same spot, he ignited it like he had done moments before with the other Jedi, as they now laid scattered across the floor, lifeless, in pieces, like the desk.
The future master and apprentice locked sabers, as Palpatine taunted the boy. You are angry, Anakin, I can feel it. Use your emotions, forget what the Jedi taught you, they were holding you back. They lied to you.
As did you. Callously said Anakin.
They fought in a blaze of red and blue. Anakin was standing his ground, but he knew Palpatine wasn’t unleashing his full powers. Not yet. Skywalker turned and twirled the saber behind his back, when he suddenly realized Palpatine had vanished and appeared behind him, as he looked down to see a red blade of fire locked ontop of a green blade, as Master Yoda had saved Anakin from losing yet another limb.
Check on Kenobi, you must. Handle Sidious, I will.
But Master…
Yoda pushed the force out in both directions as Palpatine was sent back a few steps and Anakin was moved several meters.
Master. Master are you alright.
Obi-Wan lay in Anakin’s arms, as Skywalker placed his fingers around Kenobi’s forehead, sending energy and checking his vitals at the same time, jolting his brain to wake up.
As his looked at his master’s familiar blue eyes slowly open, Skywalker began to smile.
Kenobi looked at his padawan and softly said: Wh…what are you smiling at…did you lose your weapon again?
I feel it was important to give Anakin Skywalker a happy ending in this one, for once.
What did you think of this ending?

Throw in an over protective brother Luke, an extremely overprotective father not remembering that her rebellious trait came largely from his side of the gene-pool. An indulgent mother Padme just wanting her daughter to be happy while knowing her side of the gene-pool contributed to this as well. Plus a pressured from all sides uncle Ben that somehow got tied into all this, with Ahsoka helping how she can. I can definitely see them make a film trilogy out of it.

Also, as much as I like the idea they just let Anakin walk off into the sunset and live his life with Padme, I feel they'd be more cautious and if not a sure ally consider him a 'loose end' that could go Sith any moment. I imagine they'd go with a similar treatment to Revan (KotOR) and cut him off from the force. Admittedly though, outside of KotOR I haven't really heard of anything like that, and not being aware if cross media lore would be considered canon, that may or may not even be an option.

[@aleksandarristoski2777]

Honestly, It is bullshit. It makes death meaningless. Like if you can always bring back somebody, what is the point of battles. Somebody has to die and obi wan should have been dead. That way the story could continue as Anakin now didn't have his master and still had part of the dark side in him, being sad and angry because of the death. Making him search for a revival technique again through the dark side.

[@froyo11]

I think Yoda being the one to save someone from death with the force is very poetic. Palpatine promised Anakin these powers and used them to manipulate Anakin, so Yoda executing force life or whatever it's called after all these events unfolded is extremely poetic.

[@samuela2246]

Anakin and Padme living happily ever after always brings a smile to my face. The fans deserve a “What if” series where that actually happens.

If Anakin fully understood the reason for not being granted title of Master, what could he have accomplished by simply being a “monkey wrench” or spanner in the works?

[@garrettviewegh677]

This fan fic illustrates perfectly how flawed the Jedi order’s ways were. Especially how suppressing emotions was harmful to oneself. Even if it allowed Jedi to resist the dark side.

[@valthiriansunstrider2540]

What? Did we watch the same video? It perfectly illustrates how right and good the Jedi's ways were. How Anakin's foolishness cost him his position, yet he could still live a happy life, with Padme perhaps saved by Yoda, all because the Jedi are forgiving and possess solid morals and compassion. The Jedi's ways follow the force, that is spoken in this video. Suppression of emotions is the same as controlling emotions, it's a good thing. Emotions are there to inform you, not control you. How you could take away something so outlandish from this video, is only explainable by a priori bias against the Jedi :(

[@robtinker4906]

[@Tate_THG]

Instead of learning how to suppress them and not allow them to effect you, they should learn how to use them to their advantage regulate ones emotions to benefit them in battle without losing control of them.

[@KyotoriGaming]

@@valthiriansunstrider2540 the Jedi were always taught to trust in the force. Also, the Jedi were taught to suppress their emotions. Suppressing isn’t the same thing as controlling your emotions. Suppression can lead to an explosion of emotions. Just because you can suppress how you feel, doesn’t mean that you can control it. Several instances in life shows where you can suppress your emotions only to a certain point until you break. Controlling your emotions is hearing how you feel. If something makes you mad, you fix it. If something makes you sad, you fix it. If it’s outlandish, why did it make you feel that way? Instead, the Jedi are taught to suppress those emotions and bury them away as they are not needed. Mace Windu goes against what the Jedi want and yet still enforces it to the end. He’s the biggest hypocrite out of all the Jedi. If anything, Jolee Bindo is the perfect example of what the force wants. They want you to live your life and it’s okay to feel emotions such as anger. Learn to control it through good methods like Mace does. It seems you have a very biased opinion of the Jedi that is they can do no wrong and were always in the right. They even started to fear the visions of the future the force gave because it could lead to negative emotions like fear and anger so they started to not even listen to the force itself all because of negative emotions. Luke Skywalker instilled much better Jedi values in Legends than any Jedi has ever done. They were allowed to feel and love because having feelings is okay and what makes them a person. Anakin wasn’t foolish in the slightest. The Jedi tried to suppress how he felt and kept him under lock and key because he had all of these emotions. If the Jedi allowed them to feel like a person should, he could have simply went to the Jedi about his problems and they could have helped him. Anakin wouldn’t have fallen to the darkside and Padme would still be alive. Padme and Anakin would still be raising Luke and Leia to be the best Jedi they could be as well. People would fall to the darkside yes, but as shown in the shows even a master can still fall while trying to suppress their emotions

It would take a while for the Jedi Order to change. Anakin and Obi-Wan would remain brothers and friends.

[@rustyshackleford9811]

Dude that's dope!

[@starkillerrevan1094]

Funny enough, years ago, I made sort of a storyline in which that happens, though without some elements which we now know. For example, not knowing about the clones' inhibitor chips I made it so that the clones would stand with the Jedi and Palpatine's Stormtroopers came from his Wayland storehouse. In that version, Palpatine's true identity is revealed during the book Labyrinth of Evil, before he has a chance to trick Anakin into switching sides. Vader rescues Palpatine before the Jedi can arrest him, he is the one who duels Obi-Wan and ends up in the suit and Palpatine escapes to build his Empire from the Outer Rim inwards, so it was kind of like what happens in TOR, with the Galactic Civil War being fought between the Galactic Republic lead by Padme, Bail and the Jedi and Palpatine's Sith Empire lead by Palpatine, Vader and other Dark Jedi from the EU.

"What are you smiling at, did you lose your weapon again?" that is the most Kenobi line you will ever hear.

[@thesharpercoder]

Asking Anakin to spy on the Chancellor is one significant difference between the novelization and the film, ROTS. I never understood why the difference existed, because it changes everything about Anakin’s fall to the dark side. In the novelization, Anakin is not asked to spy on the Chancellor. Anakin is asked to observe the Chancellor because the Jedi Council suspected that the Sith Lord, the same Sith Lord that Dooku had told Kenobi about on Geonosis, was hiding among Palpatine’s inner circle. The Jedi Council had never really suspected Palpatine of being a Sith Lord because he was already Chancellor of the known galaxy. Instead, the Jedi Council suspected Palpatine was under the control of the Sith Lord. In the scene in the film where Anakin accuses Obi-Wan and the Council of asking him to spy on the Chancellor, ends very differently in the novel. Instead of Anakin walking away angry with the Council, Obi-Wan had convinced Anakin that he would actually be protecting the Chancellor from the Sith Lord, which was a role that Anakin eagerly accepted. Anakin discovers where the Sith Lord is hiding in the same way, both in the film and the novel, and he immediately reports to Master Windu that he has found the Sith Lord.

This "movie" touched my soul and honestly felt more canon-like than any of the sequel movies.
