What if Anakin WAS Granted the Rank of Master in Revenge of the Sith? - Star Wars Theory

What if Anakin Skywalker had been granted the rank of Master on the Jedi Council,, in Revenge of the Sith? Everything would change, and there's evidence to prove it as Darth Vader himself goes over this very scenario in the book Rise of Darth Vader. Palpatine Vs. Mace Windu would take a giant spin. I hope you all enjoy this new Fan Fiction :)

[@WashuHakubi4]

So there's basically a handful of black characters in the entire Star Wars Galaxy, and one of them just happens to get blamed for screwing everything up? A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and things was just the same....

[@Lynchy626]

WashuHakubi4 Mace was the one who ultimately turned Anakin to the Dark Side. If he hadn’t put aside the Code to kill the unarmed Palpatine, Anakin would never have sliced his hand off and would not have fallen to the Dark Side, Order 66 wouldn’t happen, Empire doesn’t rise, Anakin would leave the Order honourably etc etc

[@WashuHakubi4]

Lancaster1517 Well, Mace never wanted Anakin to be trained as a Jedi, and he ordered him not to come along for what he himself told Palpatine was an arrest. It was only after Palpatine showed his true power in killing the other three Jedi, and Anakin showed up in the middle of the situation, that Mace decided Palpatine had to be destroyed without a trial. Yoda came to the exact same conclusion, and tried to destroy Palpatine himself. It was Anakin's own selfish decision to side with Palpatine that led to his fall to the Dark Side, not Mace Windu

[@Lynchy626]

Don't pin that on Anakin. Windu used the same logic as Palpatine did, "He's too dangerous to be kept alive.", proving to Anakin that the Jedi were hypocrites that were willing to break their own rules without care, when he lived in constant fear that his rule-breaking would be discovered. Hell, if Windu had just done his damned job and arrested Palpatine without trying to break the Code and kill an unarmed and defeated prisoner, then Anakin wouldn't have been put into the position of choosing the Jedi or Padme in a split second. If Anakin gets a chance to think it over, he doesn't aid in Windu's murder, he doesn't convince himself that he needs to completely destroy the Jedi for Padme to live and Order 66 never goes through. Tl;Dr It's Windu's fault for being a hypocrite, being arrogant and being a hothead

[@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820]

Assuming their ages are the same as the normal version, and Obi-Wan ends up in the Vader suit? Anakin would probably defeat Darth Obi Wan in their first encounter honestly. He was still in his thirties at the time of A New Hope, so he would still be in pretty good physical condition, plus have access to all his force abilities and have reached his full potential which he couldn’t do as Vader. Meanwhile Darth Obi is older and more limited physically and force-wise. The only thing that might save him is Anakin hesitating to kill his old master.

"Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion I gain strength, through strength I gain power, through power I gain victory and through victory my chains are broken. The force shall set me free." Darth Bane Anakin was doomed to dark side even if he gain the rank of Master. He had a lot of passion. With passion comes strong emotions. Anakin had so much power that it was almost unlimited. Also with his terrible past as a slave and losing his mother. Remember, Anakin was conceived through the force. The Dark Side perhaps, since it was Plagueis who made that happen. So Anakin was created by the dark side. Like I said, he was doomed from the start.

[@VestedUTuber]

+The 7 Super Souls Except that's not _entirely_ the case. Sure, the Jedi were good intentioned, but in their many peacekeeping missions they often failed to solve the underlying problems causing unrest in the first place. And then there was the whole thing with their general hostility towards other force sensitive orders - not just the Sith, but basically EVERYONE who was a force sensitive but not a Jedi was seen as a threat whether they were trained or not. And of course, the Jedi were extremely clandestine. If you want a real-world comparison, the Freemasons would be a good example. They have greatly helped many people in need, but the general public regards them with distrust at best. And of course, on the flip side of the coin Palpatine was actively running misinformation campaigns against the Jedi.

I feel like during one of his sessions with Anakin, Qui-Gon would remind him of the small piece of advice he gave before the podrace in Mos Espa all those years ago: "Concentrate on the moment. Feel, don't think. Use your instincts." And Anakin could realize that he could take those words of advice and apply them to everything around him--It was his confusion with his visions of _possible_ futures, and thus overthinking on those visions that made him turn to the Dark Side in the first place, that made him consider sinning with the best intentions.

After 10 years of training Anakin wanted to be granted a Jedi Knight in Episode 2 and wanted to be granted a Jedi Master in Episode 3.

Sidious was going to rule the galaxy with or without Anakin. He thought of and started his plans long before Anakin came along or was even aware of his existence.

SolarDragon007 This needs more upvote

[@Elyseon]

Earlier Jedi had families and some only ever began their path as adults. The council are full of shit.

[@DarthRayj]

+Elyseon The reason the Council forbade family was in an attempt to minimize attachment. This was put in place because one of the most difficult things a Jedi had to learn was to accept loss, and some kinds of attachments are just too strong to make that possible. Anakin was exceptionally bad at Letting Go of People and in the end this is why he turned, because he feared losing Padme. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering...

[@AotO_DJ]

DarthRayj No problems with the Grey Jedi. Be a Grey Jedi. Learn the ways of both. Only the most resilient ones can be a Grey Jedi.

[@Elyseon]

They forbade attachments because attachments would diminish the hold of the council's dogma on Jedi minds. You take children from their parents at a young age, fill their heads with your version of reality for decades, and suddenly they find someone to care for on a personal level and start thinking for themselves. One of the greatest Jedi of the Old Republic era, Nomi Sunrider, only even took up training after her Jedi husband was murdered, and she wouldn't touch the dark side with a ten foot pole despite all the crap she went through. Like her, there were probably countless others. Did you ever notice how as soon as someone starts openly disagreeing with the Jedi council, they're quickly branded as "falling to the dark side"? If you need another example, just look at all the Jedi who ran off with Revan to defend the Republic while the order was content to meditate and twiddle their thumbs. The so-called defenders of the Republic, sitting around doing nothing and forbidding their students from doing anything because of some crap about not meeting aggression with aggression... while millions died. The problem with Anakin was a compound issue. First the need to keep secrets, given the order's policy. Then the growing distance between him and the council for various reasons, chief of which, the way they ignored his emotional issues and just spouted platitudes at him when he needed help and advice. Then his anger and ego problems, coupled with his growing fear after what happened to his mother (whom the Jedi could very well have taken off that sand pit but didn't bother helping because all they cared about was the Force sensitive kid), and the creepy old guy telling him what he wanted to hear. No matter how badly Lucas tried to make the Jedi seem like the good guys, they still did a lot of stupid or outright dubious crap.

[@Drachenhannes]

I don't think iz would have changed a lot. Anakin despite his loyalty and deep care for his friends has always been a very arrogant man who never gets over himself and fails to see the perspective of other people. Maybe Mace telling him to wait in the chambers would have ticked him off "I am a master now and still am getting sidelined!" His emotional imbalance would have him clash with the council on several occasions. And every single one of these "betrayals" of the Jedi council could turn out fatal. Anakins fate and ultimate downfall was sealed the moment Qui Gon died. What the boy needed was a caring father figure to teach him emotional balance. Not just masters. Not a brother, someone who genuinely cared about him to teach him all the right values.
