What If Anakin Skywalker Refused to Fight Obi Wan on Mustafar

Anakin Skywalker had a madness before his duel with his former teacher on Mustafar. What would happen if that madness subsided before Kenobi's arrival? Would they become friends again? Would Obi Wan be able to forgive Anakin? What would cause this lapse in madness for Anakin?

What if Obi Wan had nightmares of Anakin burning in Mustafar. So instead of Anakin having nightmares, it was Obi Wan

[@Fordo007]

Obi-Wan: Sorry your not being made a Master Anakin, but on the bright side enjoy that vacation to Mon-Cala I arranged for you and Senator Amidala suddenly. Seriously though, if it included Obi-Wan causing it... I could see Obi-Wan either worrying he would somehow cause it and he just couldn't believe Anakin would turn on his own... or putting enough pieces together to admit the possibility of Anakin turning because of something Padme related would get him to press Padme and him more or flat out admit he knows and make sure she's safe and alright. Darkhorse theory though, assuming Obi-Wan got the visions and not Anakin, then I'd assume Palpatine did it intentionally or the Force did. Either way Obi-Wan goes to Palpatine and does all he can to make sure Anakin doesn't get any military command and stays safe on Coruscant, but Anakin is left feeling Obi-Wan doesn't trust or beleive in him with how over protective he was and how dismissive of getting to take the Utapau command. Thus Anakin is more likely to go with Palpatine and not trust Obi-Wan.

Honestly I don't thnk Anakin would be scared. I'd more expect like "What if Anakin had the time to calm down and reflect on Mustafar?" Or "What if Obi wan actually let Padme talk Anakin down instead of walking out" Him walking out escalated the situation and I feel like she could've broken through and pointed out how little sense "Kill all the Jedi for me, your new Sith buddy, and I'll save Padme from dying even though you never told me so it makes no sense I already knew unless I was doing it" Or even "What if Obi wan got through to him on the lava lake?"

[@lucasholmberg5708]

I think its unlikely Anakin would calm down howere long he was alone, at this point he was just a robot doing what Sidious told him.

[@C4MG1RL]

@@lucasholmberg5708 Not yet he isn't. He's consciously doing everything because he feels like he's locked into the path after killing Windu and it's his only option to save Padme. There's plenty of scenes to show his conflicted emotions. Sidious knew what to say to string him along by saying that after what he did the Jedi will get in his way of saving Padme so he has to do this. Before she lands on Mustafar they show him crying about all that he's done and his talk to her is dark side delusions but also to convince himself. If Obi wan didn't walk out and actually let the conversation play out I'm fairly certain she could've gotten through to him. He only goes off the rails when he thinks she betrayed him after seeing Kenobi. During their fight Obi-wan takes blame and admonishes Anakin while reciting what he's been taught, but never asks why or use actual reasoning on him. Anakin isn't "truly lost" or robotic yet until he's in the suit and Padme is dead. Before that happens he's still in conflict with himself and can be Talk no Jutsu'd, just the only person who was trying got cut off.

[@99thJediWarrior]

Obi-Wan did very little to calm Anakin down in Episode III.

[@Followerofchrist221]

I’d like a what if where they have actual proof of palpatines wrong doings as everyone here keeps forgetting that you’d have to prove it to anakin sure he killed windu however as far as anakin knows he went to the chancellor to have him arrested when he feels that sense he can save his wife and gets to the office he sees Jedi dead on the ground however this dosent mean the chancellor struck first as far as he knows the Jedi attempted a coup now you could say well isn’t that proof well no as you see they have zero legitimate grounds to arrest him for any reason only suspicion and sure he’s a Sith but can they prove that he was behind the war? No they had zero reason and no proof so again this is a coup not an arrest this is treason so anakin had every reason to cut down windu right then and there from a purely logical stand point and this is coming from anakins point of view On top of that this amounts to religious persecution if anything so again the Jedi were completely and totally in the wrong here

[@MrOnepiece14]

Anakin was always afraid. That's how the dark side controlled him. He was angry about being afraid and tried to use that anger to defeat the darkness in him, but it was always a trap to drag him further in.

If there's one thing I got from this video, its that star wars what ifs really grew up with me. If this was a video made by star wars theory in 2016, we'd probably have Obi Wan forgiving Anakin in a heartbeat and them killing the emperor, but life isn't that simple, neither in the real world, nor theirs and your video really brings that across. Tbf, them fighting Sidious IS what happens here, but the scenes in between matter a whole lot. The stories you write have a lot of maturity, at least when they're not completely off the rails and I appreciate that a lot Also Anakin being straight up ignored by Obi is weirdly nostalgic to me, funny enough.

What if Order 66 and 65 are issued at the same time by Palpatine and the Senate Security Council causing a Clone Civil War?

[@concept5631]

Palpatine: *"Fuck."*

[@Fordo007]

@@concept5631 I dunno, if Palpatine issues the order to the Coruscant Guard first he has very good odds. Even if the Senate issues 65 to the 501st.. and that's a big if as I'd say Papatine would do them right after, Palpatine could secure his own line of escape while eliminating a good amount of the Jedi and Senate Loyalists. The Jedi off world who weren't killed would have to rally whatever armies they had that were loyal while Palpatine on Coruscant could organize and elimiante and hunt down the Jedi-Senate forces one by one. The Jedi's best bet would be to transfer the Senate and command to the Temple so they could organize and call back their forces and let them know the full picture and who is left and where, and use the 501st and their fleet to protect their sector of Coruscant and hold out until reinforcements arrived while letting the Jedi and elite 501st detachments go out and hit Coruscant infrastructure and military facilities. At that point it would be a race of if the Jedi-Senate armies could link up and rally first or if Palpatine's could organize and pick them off or consolidate enough to take Coruscant completely. Which armies got the order and how many of each army got each order would play a big factor. If Cody got 66 but all his subordinates got 65, the army would still go to the Senate. Same with the reverse. And if the Jedi get loyal armies that are stuck way out in Outer Rim Sieges or still in hot zones with Seperatits and can't easily disengage while Palpatine takes all the low intensity forces... the Jedi-Senate are in a bad way very quickly. That said the best Jedi tended to have the outer-rim siege and Palpatine wanting to eliminate the most risk would likely try and issue orders to those forces first. Only after he encounters a commander who immediately says he's under arrest on the holo would he realize what is happening and then focus on gathering closer forces in bulk. How fast that would take is up in the air but I'd wager a 50/50 split on everyone in the Order 66 montage before it becomes every army in the Core for Palpatine and the Jedi-Senate getting everything in the Outer Rim and a decent amount of the Mid-Rim. Palpatine can just hold the Core and win in the longterm, especially if the take control of the Droid Army and then turn them on the Jedi and hold them in place on their worlds. Then the Republic Commandos, ARCS, and other special forces groups... whoever gets them is likely getting a big advantage. Given Palpatine's military doctrine... I'd wager the Jedi-Senate would likely get their loyalty. All in all I think this scenario actually makes it possible the CIS may be the ones dictating the peace at this point, especially if Palpatine unlocks their restrictions on droid production and lets them try to win. With Dooku and Grievous gone their military command is all but gone though, but surely someone competent would be there to take advantage.

I think the problem is the thinks a therapist would advise don't really work for Force Users. Telling a force user to think about their anger and fear... 50% of the time will make a Force User go dark side and the dark side clouds judgement and removes inhibitions. Emotions to force users are dangerous and have to be carefully controlled to not lose control. The Jedi ways are strict and counter to good mental health... but it's either that or you have mini-Sith Lords going on rampages every other day.

[@Dark_Voice]

@@Fordo007I actually think that those mini-Sith Lords going on rampages are precisely because they are strict and never actually try to understand and truly control their emotions. They just ignore them and put them behind bars and as they pile up you have a time bomb (terrible thing to do). If Force users learned how to cope and accept their emotions, they would be fine imo.

Day 7: What if, Savage oppress reached his full potential. and never betrayed Count Dooku? What if Darth Bane returned during the Clone Wars? He receives a vision of Palpatine and is furious to the point where he either fakes his death and enters carbonite, awakening in the Clone Wars to stop him. Alternatively, with the help of Zannah, he gains immortality and trains for a thousand years on a distant planet until the Clone Wars. Or perhaps, both Bane and Zannah undertake this, tweaking the story to allow for both scenarios. Zannah kills Bane, and they secretly transfer his essence into a waiting body or create an illusion. This process repeats when Zannah's apprentice kills her.

[@darthbane3937]

Honestly, Anakin should have seen a psychologist before Jedi training so he could let go of his slave past. That was a time bomb waiting to happen and any decent therapist would have made the Jedi go bring his mother to safety. I've seen some fanfics where that happens and the Jedi say we want to treat him like everyone else. The reply is he's not anyone, he's a former slave and if you won't put in the effort to give him the help he needs, you shouldn't have taken him.

[@victoriaanne6332]

Great point! They didn’t originally want to accept Anakin because he was too old and “emotional “. But then when the do accept him they don’t do anything to address his emotionality. They acknowledged it was a problem but chose not tin fix it.

[@JoseAlberto-hu5st]

I don’t think that would have help . The Jedi’s still didn’t like anakin from the beginning . Besides , the Jedi council causes his apprentice (Ashoka to leave ) . Anakin just wanted to be accepted instead he got treat it poorly and denied the rank of master when he actually deserved it . All this Jedi mentality of blocking emotion was their down fall. They should have teach Anakin to control his emotion instead of denying his emotions if that kind of makes sense .

[@darthbane3937]

I know some try to claim that Windu did trust Anakin and was just hard on him because he wanted him to learn but the movies don't support that. "I don't think the boy can handle it, I don't trust him." He didn't say something like I trust Anakin, but I think the stress is getting to him and I wish he'd pay attention. Also their's that tone with Ahsoka. "I'm sorry citizen." I would've bought that you shouldn't discuss things on holo with a nonjedi, it's the way he said it.

Day 7: What if Darth Zannah returned during the clone wars? All events transpire as normal, until Zannah`s apprentice kills her. It can be an illusion or essence transfer, either way Zannah survives, then enters stasis. She disobeyed the rule of two, because she saw a vision of palatine, believing him to be the one who would destroy the sith or she wanted to be the one who ruled the galaxy Alternate path: though this one makes Zannah ridiculously overpowered, fakes her death still, but instead of stasis, grants her self immortality due to her affinity of the arcane side of the force, trains for a thousand years on a distant planet. Reason for doing this: Her own power, or maybe she wants to be the final sith. First apprentice and last master and something like that. Or maybe this was the plan the whole time, but that involves tweaking bane and the rule of two itself.

Listening to the beginning atm, one thing in particular I love is how Obi-Wan was a calming influence for Anakin. He viewed Anakin like a brother, but Anakin saw him as a father and idolized him. Palpatine knew this and did everything he could to form a rift between them. It was why he and Dooku wanted to slaughter Obi-Wan before Anakin's eyes to BREAK Anakin because Obi-Wan was the strongest tether Anakin had to not just the Jedi, but the Light side. It was why Palpatine manipulated events to have Obi-Wan away chasing Grievous. The only one who could have talked Anakin down was Obi-Wan, but by the time they saw each other again, Anakin had done too much, gone too far, and thought Obi-Wan was already dead. He figured since he had come this far, murdered children and near-non-combatants, his father figure and mentor would be nothing on top of that. And Obi-Wan had lost his life long family as a result of the boy he had raised. By the time they met again, the time for talk was long over, and it was all a part of Palpatine's plan. Here though, Obi-Wan is true to form. Calm, centered, and not attacking, only ready to defend. Whereas Anakin was usually his other half like a sword and shield, Anakin displays Obi-Wan's own characteristics by waiting, like a son imitating his father. And it works.

[@XTHHedgehog]

I just thought of something: Obi Wan appearing on the ship foreshadows the end of the fight really well: Obi Wan looking down at his fallen appreciate in disappointment while having the high ground.

[@satcheljones]

5:38 i wasn't expecting there to be a sound effect here, but then there was, and then i was disappointed that it wasn't the falling pipe meme

[@KanshouXBakuya]

seeing this what if reminded me.... what if anakin went to the psychologist after killing all the tuskan raiders?

[@יוסףאלימלך-נ8נ]

Then he would find that psychologists do not help😮

[@BillybobJoseph-ic6rr]

What if both Padme and Satine were jedi or sith? Would anakin and obiwan still fall for them? What if they were master and apprentice? What if padme was born on mandalore? What if palpatine was a sensible sith and raised maul like a beloved son and helped him reach his full potential?

[@victoriaanne6332]

I like to think they would still fall in love if they weee Jedi but a pacifist Jedi is an intriguing idea

[@TheColombianSpartan]

Your portrayal of Kenobi here is just _so_ much more powerful than it was in ROTS imo. Truly jedi-like. It is excellent!

[@Jarma24]

What if anakin killed obi wan while obi wan was undercover

[@LuciferMorningstarorder66]

i feel like this needs to be extended upon, like i want to know more about what happens between padme and anakin, and also what happened between them and obi wan, not just a few bits here and there.

[@samuelescano6646]

What if Cal Kestis trained Luke Skywalker? Or, what if Baylan Skoll was a Sith Lord after "Return of the Jedi"?

[@Bwillis2099]

What if the Bendu trained Luke Skywalker? What if Luke and Leia were both sent to Tattooine? What if Ahsoka Tano trained Mara Jade Skywalker instead of Sabine wren? What if grogu founded his own group of force sensitive mandalorians? What if Anakin Skywalker was a gray Jedi and started his own force group? What if Luke Skywalker met Padme’s family? What if All characters in Star Wars had their genders swapped?

[@Darth_Vader_Explains]

I already did the second one on your list on my channel. It's called "What if Obi wan trained luke and leia from birth"

[@noahmc7804]

I’m not sure how Bendu would Luke Skywalker. Perhaps he would of been called to Bendu instead of Yoda. Though Luke would only have lightsaber training from Ben Kenobi.

[@Wolf-lt3wq]

I do want to see the last one

[@The_Blue_Otaku]

The third What If suggestion with "Ahsoka Tano training Mara Jade instead of Sabine Wren" sounds like a good idea

[@karlharvey4806]

"No obi wan I won't fight you", "only a sith deals in absolutes i will do what I must" "Wtf?!"

[@Lyaagato]

*awkward silence*

[@SamCaiman14]

I have some suggestions: 1) What if the full potential+ Anakin that we see in Ahsoka as keeper of the World Between Worlds decided to go back to the beginning of Revenge of the Sith events and taking over his own past body but with all the knowledge and power he has now? Maybe he saw Palpatine surviving up to Episode 9 and decided he should do this. Its also possible that from his balanced perspective he sees that Order 66 is necessary to shake up the stagnant Jedi Order and corrupt Republic but a Sith Galactic Empire lasting 20 years whose defeat didnt even fully restored the Republic isnt. It would be so cool to see Anakin join Padme as the leader of this early new rebel alliance and defeat Sidious for good. An important data to consider, according to Imperial Law the one true power the Imperial Senate held was to crown the new Emperor should Palpatine die, this never happened because Palpatine dissolved the Senate with the Death Star complete, which broke the chain of command and led to a fractured New Republic. Here if he is defeated quickly enough the Senate can crown a new emperor who can then dissolve the Empire back into the Republic without having splintered factions like the First Order. But these are just my ideas I leave the story up to you the central premise is: Ahsoka's show Anakin goes back to his early ROTS body with the knowledge, wisdom and power he now has. 2) Same as before but this time rather than going personally he instead appears to end of Clone Wars Ahsoka. He will finish her training and she will do the job of the Chosen One being trained in both light and dark and lead an early rebellion to defeat Sidious. Remember Ahsoka has the life force of the Daughter and with WBW Anakin as her master she could certainly grow to defeat Sidious. When she is ready Anakin could even direct her to Bath on the Pool of Knowledge and Font of power, but because of Anakin overseeing the process and Ahsoka already having the Daughter's life and her training, she will not twist like Abeloth, but become a being of balance, ready to lay the smackdown on Sidious and lead the rebel seemingly impossible assault on Coruscant. Makes way more sense than Rey anyway. 3) What if Darth Tenebrous took Anakin's body? This was actually Tenebrous's ultimate plan and I have never seen a WI on it. He just failed because when he entered Plagueis's body he saw a futufe vision of Plagueis being killed by Palpatine, assumed he would never get to meet the Chosen One and panicked shooting himself out of Plagueis prematurely and getting trapped in a time loop. So, what if he didnt panicked and waited until the time Plageuis atually saw Anakin in the distance and shot himself at him? Tenebrous's possession was not Essence Transfer, it was more insidious, moving his midichlorians (who he modified into "maxchlorians") like a virus. So rather than taking over Anakin by force like would in Essence Transfer, he starts by increasing Anakin's power when he use the darkside and allows Sidious to do the heavy lifting forming his Empire, Anakin is way more powerful during the assault on the temple and Mustafar using, to the worry of Sidious, powers only advanced Sith can use like lighting. Then finally on Mustafar he hears a whisper telling him to open himself to the darkside fully so he can finally save Padme, Anankin does believing it to be his own darkside and Tebebrous finally takes him over. 4) What if Maul rather than sulking or just limiting himself to the underworld after the formation of the Galactic Empire spent his time training, went to Dathomir to learn from the Nightsisters (his potential was greater than Talzin) and he finally one day he shows up to overthrow Sidious? 5) What if after defeating Anakin, Obi-Wan realizing where he was reactivated the Droid Army on Mustafar but making it fully loyal to the Jedi like the Clones are loyal to Sidious? The Clone Wars continue with the Jedi remaining joining the seppies now without the influence of the Sith or the corrupt corporate council. Now Palpatine is in trouble because he has no puppet leading them and has been blocked from the command codes by Kenobi. And unlike Dooku the Jedi will not gimp the droid army's potential, like the fact it takes minutes to fabricate droids as opposed to years or months to train a clone or conscript. Leaders like Mon Mothma and Bail could also join on the condition that rather than secede they will restore the Republic on more fair terms, the Separatist Senate agrees. 6) What if rather than destroying it, Vader used Momin's portal to regain his uninjured body like Momin himself did? 7) There was a crucial moment between Palpatine telling Sidioud and Windu coming to arrest him when Order 66 was in danger. What if Windu before arresting Palpatine or Anskin out of guilt over what he might do contacted the full Jedi Council on Sidioud, they do 1+1 on Fives situation and decide that the clones are really dangerous as long as Palpatine is their Supreme Commander, so they give the general order to all the Jedi to discreetly leave all battlefields which were being won anyways and gather and evacuate the Temple? So all the 10,000-ish Jedi escape. Anakin turns, Order 66 is given but there are... no Jedi to execute them all. No Temple to send Anakin to kill the Jedi and immerse him into the darkside fully, just the Separatist Council. The Empire still forms but Sidious now has to face his worst nightmare of an open war with a nearly full and organized Jedi Order. Perhaps with this, seeing they have a chance, the Delegation of 2000 founds the Rebel Alliance early, with Padme, Bail or Mothma declaring the rebellion, detailing how Palpatine played both sides and calling all citizens who doesnt want to live under Palpatine's autocratic unaccountable rule to follow them.

[@Traumglanz]

Thanks for that flashback to Mysteries of the Sith when the only way to win the the game was not to fight the fallen Jedi.

What if Anakin vowed loyalty to the Zygerrian queen What if Anakin was accused of the bombing at the Jedi temple What if Anakin trained Ezra What if Ezra saved Mace Windu What if Ashoka fell in love with Anakin, but he didn't fall in love with her What if Ezra and Leia fell in love What if Dooku didn't go to Zygerria and Anakin couldn't escape

[@victoriaanne6332]

Good questions! I think if Anakin vowed loyalty for the zygererrian queen and couldn’t leave things would’ve gone dark very fast. Ashoka and obi wan wouldn’t escape and the queen would probably break them and turn them into a Jedi army which would cause war between zygerria and the republic while they were still at war with the separatists. Maybe the republic would just decide three Jedi weren’t worth the battle. I read a fanfic where Obi-Wan was framed for the binging but not Anakin. That’s a good question though. He was a favored knight and Public figure so I doubt he would be convicted or thoroughly punished. Ashoka was convicted because she was essentially a disposable padawan and they needed senate and public approval. Though I don’t doubt palpatine would somehow use the bombings and anakin’s framing to turn Anakin further against the Jedi council.

[@jameslegault9398]

One thing about that theory with Ezra saving windu, Ezra was born on Empire Day, an event that was established after the fall of the republic, the day Mace Windu was killed.

What if General Grievous was the Chosen One?

[@SensiofRabbitude]

What if Pente Patrol was the chosen one?

[@auroa9854]

Grievous's force sensitivity wouldn't matter. He was a pair of lungs, a heart, brain and eyes encaged in armor. Even if he was force sensitive it wouldn't matter anymore because he's literally just a group of organs so all his midichlorians are just gone

[@Blurgamer17]

@auroa9854 He was formerly known as _Qymaen jai Sheelal_ before he turned to Dooku and Palpatine to avenge his people's death by becoming the cybernetic Warlord we know as General Grievous. He was an accomplished sniper during his teen years, gaining the nickname, "grievous," due to it. If he was Force-sensitive during this time, both the jedi and the sith would sense it. And with how Qymaen approached the two sith lords, it'd make sense that Dooku would take him in as an apprentice and there'd be no need for him to cyberize.

[@canalpretoebrancocsc1353]

19:39 "She made clear that anakin have too see an teraupet" LOL 😂

[@Nick-bk7es]

Still think this is probably the best representation of Anakin's early Redemption. It showed both the struggle of Honor and Anger boiling inside Anakin. Vader fighting for control yet Anakins light-side keeping it at bay. Him finally seeing just how terrible he had become and accepting that.. He didn't seek forgiveness he seeked righteousness. And the way you did Obi-Wan was so.. Good, him also struggling. He knew that HIS Anakin was still down there. Fighting to right the wrongs he had made. He couldn't forgive him no matter how hard he wanted. And the way you made it so that Obi-Wan wouldn't just instantly forgive was perfect.

[@Maik_Privat]

What if Anakin joined Yoda on his journey with Qui Gon?

[@stevenbalkovec1669]

What if upon realizing what he's done, Anikin committed an hero.

[@charleslee8313]

What If Anakin RESCINDED Order 66? As Palpatine's personal representative, he would technically have access to that same command; maybe Anakin came to his senses, embraced the light side of the Force, and told the 501st to not only withdraw from attacking, but to also protect the Jedi temple at all costs.

I didn't agree with this one. It's one thing for him to decide not to fight him. But he truly felt justified that this was the correct route to go to save his wife in childbirth. It's why he did everything he did. But you didn't have him even talk or express that, not even a moment to defend what he did and why. You had him act like a pathetic beaten dog. Wth was that? Let the characters BE the characters they're supposed to be. If he's not going to fight, he can still verbally defend himself. You wouldn't even let him do that. Anakin, "Yeah, I'm the cuck that did all that. Not going to defend myself. Here's my light saber, just kill me." Obi Wan, "Naaaah, you're too pathetic to bother with." Great story!!! :P

Day 7: What if Darth Zannah trained Anakin Skywalker/Luke Skywalker? How would this happen: All events transpire as normal until Zannah's apprentice kills her. It can be an illusion. Then she enters stasis. She awakens shortly before or after Anakin is born, uses her sorcery to conceal her signature, becomes a Jedi, and later becomes his master. Alternatively, adjust events to fit Luke Skywalker instead. Alternate path: Although this makes Zannah a bit overpowered, she fakes her death and, instead of entering stasis, grants herself immortality due to her affinity for the arcane side of the Force. She trains for a thousand years on a distant planet until Anakin or Luke is born. Reason for doing this: She believes that Anakin or Luke is the answer to the grand plan(Bane`s or perhaps her own, maybe she wants to kill Abeloth or something) and considers herself the perfect teacher for them.
