What If the Jedi Council Trained Anakin Skywalker

The Council, despite their flaws, was filled with the most talented of the Jedi Order. So What If the Jedi Council had common sense? Would they be able to adequately train Anakin or would their crippling ineptitude strike again? Would the Jedi be able to defeat the Sith or would Palpatine take advantage of the situation?

What if a Jedi from the old republic was frozen in carbonate, either helping Anakin in some way or being discovered on Sereno by Dooku as he was on the brink between light and dark.

[@debutriah2854]

Interesting

[@orcslayer0485]

NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW.

[@ShadowWolf0020]

Light Side Jedi Knight from SWTOR post class story, or even further within the expansions

[@benwatson9641]

Bantha stew made a video like that

[@NathanTheDwarvenShark]

Or what if it was the SWTOR Sith Warrior, a more light side based one who wants to see a new Empire similar to what Darth Marr wanted. Either managing to grab Dooku as his apprentice early on, or becoming his secret master later on without Sidious knowing.

[@DJay157524]

Would definitely enjoy seeing that. Watching how the Kaminoans would react would be a nice touch, and the chance that Boba could very well find out about the chips and connected orders. Would he use that in his plan against Mace or go with a full change of heart? So many possibilities in Boba aligning with the clones though he specifically would not age so there would be problems. How would it all go?

Wrong person and timeline

[@FatHeadKaii]

I got two for you *WHAT IF: Feral (the brother) Savage killed for Venture wasn’t weak and also became an apprentice alongside Savage for Dooku.

Would he sense Sideous immediately since he dealt with sith on a daily basis. How would he change the story?*

This was a very nicely done video. I delighted in how the council performed with Anakin. It was beautiful to hear. I also felt a but sorry for how lost Dooku seemed. It seemed so regrettable.

[@patrickd2853]

What if Cad Bane stole the clone genome from Kamino when the separatists and republic were battling each other, selling it to grey Jedi that had allied themselves with the nightsisters to bring down both the Sith and Jedi.

[@darkelybuddha]

What if when Qui-Gon refused to train Obi-Wan, (After Xanatos fell to the Dark Side) Dooku instead took Obi-Wan as his padawan? How would the Invasion of Naboo differ, with Master Dooku taking on the Queen's protection, finding Anakin on Tatooine, and fighting Maul?

[@aratakasuga4095]

I wouldn't mind seeing this one. Dooku definitely beats Maul here, and Qui-gon lives. Qui-gon then takes Anakin on, sensing he is the chosen one. He would have had more time to come to terms with Xanatos so he would be in a better place as well. Anakin would actually reach his full potential with Qui-gon teaching him, unrestricted by the code and trusting in the living force. Anakin would be encouraged to feel, and react on his instincts, but to not let his emotions control him.

[@dakotalange2858]

What if Obi wan and Jango knew each other from when they were on mandalore (Obi wan was protecting his secret wife, Jango was a journeyman protector, later Mandalore)

[@DragonIWarrior2055]

Dooku left the Jedi order 10 years before the Phantom Menace.

[@kevinthunder3375]

[@austinestep8461]

That’s incorrect, Qui-Gon’s death was the final straw for Dooku to leave the order.

[@mariusk-l1056]

[@Achuidian179]

Great story; a different kind from one of your earlier ones (Anakin trained from birth). Here’s day 9 of my usual list of What if; Anakin never gave into his feelings for Padme, Aayla Secura was the chosen one and became Darth Talon, Shme Skywalker was adopted by the Tusken Raiders, Boba Fett saved his Tusken family, Count Dooku was a regular count for the CIS, Jabba the Hutt supported the Jedi at the Start of the Clone Wars, and finally, what if Sabine and Ezra fell in love?

[@brothers_of_nod]

I like how this went, I like it when the Jedi are able to better themselves from an earlier rather than just turn things around at the end or Anakin doing it.

[@dianesinger9729]

what a different story of training Anakin and I really liked it. I loved his growth and strength of character

[@marikam2998]

Yeah, Growth. And Anakin's Strength as a Character is always pleasing too.

[@darthethan1995]

Mace Windu is 8 years younger than Qui-Gon. He was 40 years old in the Phantom Menace and Qui-Gon was 48 years old.

[@autisticbydefault]

Lol Qui-Gon was 60 and Mace was 54 in ep 1

That was a truly wholesome story and at the end with the training of the Jedi Council and the training of Caleb Dume and of Grogu, it was and Awesome and wholesome story.

IMO, this is how Anakin should have been received by the Jedi council. But somehow they had to come up with a way to end up with Darth Vadar instead.

Day 4: What if Darth Zannah was a Jedi? Either she refrains from killing the Jedi who originally comes for her, or another Jedi takes her instead soon after, assuming Bane doesn't find her or a twin of some kind exists. She undergoes training until she becomes a Jedi Knight or perhaps even a Jedi Master. Then, she receives one of two visions. The first vision portrays Anakin or Luke as the chosen one. She believes in the prophecy and enters stasis, intending to train them to confront Palpatine during the Clone Wars or the time of the Empire. The second vision involves Palpatine himself, maybe as the Emperor. Believing that she is the chosen one due to this, she enters stasis until the Clone Wars, awakened by the Force or some other catalyst. To fight him herself. To maintain her characterization as the Zannah we know and love, she excels as a master of Form Three and is proficient in Jedi Alchemy or sorcery, perhaps even both.I think its a bit overdone at this point, but if necessary, you could also do what if jedi zannah trained Anakin or Luke, but again, bit overdone.

[@nfinity1421]

Thank you for another wonderful story. Among its many merits I liked the comment how Ducul was treated as that uncle with the crazy conspiracy theories that you just nod and listened to in order to make him happy or just get it over with. I also love the theme you weave into all your stories whenever it makes sense of dealing with the subject of slavery and freeing them. I remember in the first prequel it was the Jedi's not even blinking about slavery, just buying Anakin to take with them that is when the Jedi lost their "magic" or mojo in my eyes. Where they became just a bunch of people with laser swords instead of my admittedly idealized notion of knights who wrought rights. While I liked Star wars since the trilogy I wouldn't have called myself a fan until the Mandalorian show, where I learned to fall in love with the setting through Mando and company and how they were focused on doing the right thing. They became the knights in shining armor, albeit space western style. I learned in reverse, watching Bad batch, then Clone wars and then Rebels of the rest of the verse, including Satine and the other Mandalorians. It was actually one of your stories that put me on that path since I had dismissed the Bad Batch as oh just another story about gritty bad boy anti-heroes, then one of your Order 66 stories put the notion in my head of Bad Batch meaning their chips went bad. I was surprised to find out that was right and the rest was history. So thank you VERY much for that too. Anyway, thank you again for this and the other stories you and others have written that you read on this channel. They are very much appreciated.
