What if Ahsoka went to Mustafar INSTEAD of Obi-Wan? Let’s explore the depths of it in this video.
Anakin can hardly believe his eyes as he watches his Padawan descend the ship's boarding ramp. For a moment, he forgets his anger towards the Jedi and himself, simply overjoyed to see that she’s ok.
But Ahsoka doesn’t share these feelings and the joy in Anakin quickly disappears when he sees Ahsoka’s drawn lightsabers and grim expression. Behind her is Captain Rex whose hands rest on his blasters.
Ahsoka: I’ve heard about the Jedi Temple. Tell me, is it true?
Anakin: It wasn’t as bad as it sounds. The Jedi betrayed the Republic, they wrongly accused you, remember?
Ahsoka: Oh I know, but does that mean they deserve to die? How could you do this?
Anakin: How could I do what? Bring peace and security to the galaxy?
Ahsoka: All it took was you turning your back on everything you taught me.
Anakin: I see now. The Jedi have turned you against me. I’ll make you see then.
Without warning, Anakin raises his lightsaber and lunges at her. Ahsoka’s lightsabers block it while Padme shouts for them to stop. Rex secures her. As she defends the blow, Ahsoka shoves her master forward and the two duel inside the station.
Ahsoka doesn’t give Anakin the chance to regain the initiative and charges at him. She picks up momentum by leaping from wall to wall until she’s little more than a blur. Their lightsabers cross a dozen times as they move deeper into the facility.
While fighting, she glimpses the broken bodies of the CIS council and and shudders.
Ahsoka: How could you think this is ok?
Anakin feels his rage burning. He had expected this from Obi-Wan and the Jedi Council, but Ahsoka was supposed to be the one person who understood him.
He unleashes a barrage of attacks, driving Ahsoka back. The Dark Side around him grows stronger, this begins to warp and shatter the room plates around, pushing Ahsoka on the defensive and leaving her struggling to maintain her balance.
Anakin rips off some floor panels and hurls them at her, making Ahsoka dive aside but weakens the room's structure.
Anakin: Obi-Wan’s turned you against me. I know it. He sent you here to stop me.
Ahsoka: He didn’t order me to do anything, but I’m glad he isn’t here to see what you’ve become.
This is too much for Anakin to take he lets out a scream, unleashing all the dark powers that have been building inside him and releasing a shockwave that rattles the room.
The ground suddenly gives way underneath Ahsoka who can only scream as her body falls from the space station.
As her body disappears, the rage Anakin is feeling disappears in an instant as he shouts her name. He leaps onto a mining droid and follows her down to try and save her.
Fortunately, Ahsoka manages to avoid the lava river, but she hits the hot ground where the embers catch on her clothes. She screams in pain and tries desperately to pat it out. Anakin rushes to her side and extinguishes the flames, but the fire has already left her face and body burned.
Taking her in his arms, he picks her up and carries her back to the ship with Padme to receive medical attention. Rex is reluctant but agrees to take them away when he sees how serious Anakin is.
The medical droids say that they can stabilize their conditions, but Ahsoka is left with serious burns. While they are resting, Anakin leaves to get some fresh air. Once alone, he receives a transmission from Palpatine.
Palpatine: Anakin, I’ve heard of your success on Mustafar, but why have you not reported to me?
Anakin: There were…complications, master. My padawan attempted to stop me and was seriously injured. I had to take her to a medical station.
Palpatine: You did not finish her off?
Anakin was stunned by that question and immediately shook his head.
Anakin: Kill her? No, why would I do such a thing? She’s one of the people I want to save.
Palpatine: She is your last link to the Jedi. To become a Sith, you must sever it.
Palpatine ends the transmission and Anakin finds Rex with a blaster pointed at him.
Rex: So, that's it then. After everything you two have been through. You’re just gonna betray Ahsoka?
Anakin: It's how it has to be. Things change and we need to change with it.
Rex: Scoffs. That’s never how we did things, General. We made the changes we wanted to see. Not blindly following orders like a droid.
Anakin: Careful, commander.
Rex: It’s Captain now, I resigned from my position when I saw what it would entail. You know, Ahsoka could have left. I told her, begged her, not to come here. That she should go into hiding somewhere, but she insisted she find you and make sure her master was ok.*
The words struck Anakin harder than any attacks Ahsoka had launched earlier. He took a step back as his legs threatened to buckle underneath him. He looks at his former second-in-command in horror.

Let me know if you want to see a part 2 👀
-
I loved how Ahsoka admitted the councils fault but didn't think they deserved to die
-
What if Chancellor Palpatine didnt know he was Sidious? As in, what if Darth Sidious was a split personality Palpatine was unaware of?
-
Favorite part gotta be Rex talking some sense into Anakin. Yes I'd love to see part two you left me at a cliff hanger man.
-
What if Palpatine and Dooku lost control of Grievous and the droid army?
-
“We made the changes we wanted to see…” Most character accurate line here

Kind sir, let me drop a few words of my own. Consistent story with overlapping dialogue with so much emotional depth put into it, spot-on narrative and so much character on pair with everything the source material provides and the unparallel climate of each moment. You've nailed Anakin Skywalker in this scenario perfectly in every sense of this world. That was one hell of an engaging story I've enjoyed so much. The way you handled Anakin's internal conflict between the dark that corrupted him and the light within his heart of the kind and protective Jedi knight he always has been. You didn't take a route that meant him to become a brute who blindly follows his inner darkness but instead to be a conflicted young lad who is still guided by love for his family and bond with his padawan Ashoka, whom he treats like a little sister. Hands down, you are a genuinely skilled and imaginative storyteller unlike those who use Chat GDP nowadays like for example that Pente dude whatever his name is. Greetings from Poland and I'm patiently waiting for the continuation of this story in the 2nd part that hopefully comes! 🥳

What if Revan wasn't found in stasis until the first year of the clone wars? That would mean that Revan in his prime would be alive and well, and Darth Vitiate's spirit would still be dormant since Revan didn't awake his spirit at Yavin.

This guy should do some Spotify audiobooks

I have a few slight disagreements. I don’t think Anakin would attack Ahsoka at all, he would have no real genuine reason to, there would’ve been no way for him to get to a conclusion for why she would be there, and I’m sure she would explain why she’s there, it’s not like she is done anything enough to justify attacking her, she never lied to him, she never forced him to do anything, on top of that she’s often shown in the clone wars to stop him from doing outrageous things or acting out of anger.

WOW! I love how Anakin cares for Ahsoka like a little sister, as they are 6 years apart. I love how Omega and The Bad Barch come in. It was a cool part.

When Ahsoka saw the corpse of the Separatist leaders she believed they were war criminals who commited numerous atrocities through out the war but thought they deserved a fair trial
-
