      Anakin: "Worry not, Master. Ever since I became a father, I made a clear stand onto further developing my thesis. This crisis helped me realize that I was vulnerable, set afoot on a path of wrath and suffering. Why, I could've become a Sith lord myself, on which scenario I would not only be a threat to the galaxy - but to my very own loved children. Truly, it gives one pause of thought of the existent dichotomy between alternative realities. One, where I stand in the light, and another, where I'd become the very thing I sought to destroy. That's why I will elaborate on the Council today the FULL extent of my thesis, which I believe it will be a step forward into... [...]"
      Obi Wan: "Oh, pardon me! Just a little... intruding, if you will. Actually, forget what I said earlier - you know, maybe the possibility of you becoming a Sith lord wasn't all that bad. It's fun to try new things in life, after all. Like, killing some younglings, testing the high ground... A new hope for us all... where you would stop talking about your motherfucking thesis..."

      @christophercardoza2872 5 месяцев назад +49

      Not really he just couldn’t have predicted his plans step by step. All these what ifs require a character to chose the second thing on their mind or play a bigger role than they would have normally. He writes the script to go a certain direction that leads often to a better outcome than canon. You can’t say Windu acted rashly since the only reason he failed was because Anakin was blinded by the dark side and would do anything to save Padme therefore betraying the Jedi. If Anakin was slightly more reasonable and patient then everything would have worked out.

      ​@@christophercardoza2872 He still could've done quite a few things better. He could've not rushed into an obvious trap and waited for the rest of the counsel; After all, Palpatine had just revealed that he was the Sith Lord to Anakin, who left to tell the Jedi. The fact that Palpatine just let Anakin leave without issue to tell the Jedi should have been a *major* red flag. He could've also told Skywalker - brash, impulsive, *impatient* Skywalker - to do quite literally anything else - Go walk around the temple, study in the archives, go back up Obi-wan on Utapau, go relay Padme this info, literally anything but sit around and do nothing.
      For that matter, letting him go relay this info to Padme would've probably been the best idea, since she can start working on the senate side of things, and also help tell Anakin "hey, maybe we shouldn't trust Palpatine, the Sith Lord. Y'know, the Sith Lord that's working with the Seperatists. The same one that tried to *assassinate me multiple times.*"

      @@grimreaper13plays67 To be fair, neither knew which Jedi survived besides them, and the Sith had access to the Jedi archives - so any planets Yoda knew of, Sidious could probably find out the location of. Combined with the fact that Yoda, the best the order had to offer at the time, lost to Sidious, and at least half the galaxy was hunting any surviving Jedi, looking for Jedi to regroup with is maybe not the best plan.
      Obi-wan also had the best reason to go into hiding - to keep an eye on Luke and Leia. The last thing the Jedi would want at that point is for the Sith to find and either kill or train them themselves, since if at least one of them was trained by either Yoda or Obi-wan, then they'd have the best shot at beating Sidious and Vader.

    What if the Jedi Masters hid several thermal detonators in the Chancellor's pod before they confronted Palpatine. Remember that the pod is just outside of Chancellor's office. If the Jedi Masters lived, they get to remove it but if they don't survive, the next time Palpy uses the pod to talk in the Senate, it would silently activate several of the thermal detonators at the same time as it reached at a certain height and just blow up the pod in the middle of a Senate session.

    • @JediMasterZim
      @JediMasterZim 5 месяцев назад +8

      The pod you're thinking of is in another building, which is the Republic Senate Building, which does have an office for Palpatine but that isn't his main office in the Republic Executive Building. That being said, though, I think your scenario could still work perfectly fine and would be fascinating, and I'd love to see StarWarsQuill do it.
      Maybe Mace Windu and the others took a detour before directly confronting Palpatine, feeling that they should set up a contingency plan of their own, or maybe Mace Windu ordered some other Jedi to do it instead.

      @@Exaris79 Showing his force powers in that moment wouldn't diminish his public support. If anything, it would only increase public support for Sith like Palpatine, and also make the Senate fully go along with Order 66, since they just witnessed another failed assassination attempt happen right before their eyes. Plus, Mas Ameda wouldn't be able to dodge, so the vice chancellor would certainly be killed in the second attempt to kill Palpatine. Suddenly, his words about the Jedi attempting to take over the Republic have some merit, (due to Mas Ameda's death) and so even less people will take the Jedi's side in this, providing even more support to Palpatine, regardless of his identity as a force-sensitive politician.
      Ultimately, just revealing Palpatine as a Sith Lord isn't enough to topple him from power. Unless the Jedi provide concrete proof that he conspired with/ controlled the Sepratist Alliance, therefore showing him as a TRAITOR TO THE SENATE, (very important distinction) the Jedi would still end up being seen as the enemy, not him. That's why Mace tried to convince Anakin in the original canon that Palpatine was too dangerous to be left alive, because he had complete control of the senate and the courts.

    @DeathMessenger1988 4 месяца назад +56

    As much shit as I give Obi-Wan for his blunders... this is actually pretty in-character at this point in the story.
    -He's definitely the "think before you leap" type, so all his advice regarding how they should approach the matter is entirely in-character.
    -He quizzes Anakin on what EXACTLY happen, whereas Windu goes straight for the warpath without thinking. No once does Windu even consider WHY Palpatine would reveal himself now and to Anakin, he just cares about his shattered worldview and ego.
    -Obi-Wan pinpoints the fact that the Clone Wars is effectively over, so Palpatine's timing is very much intentional and that he's holding the cards.
    -Obi-Wan would definitely consider Padmé as a factor, because he's the only Jedi other than Ahsoka who knows (or remotely cares) about Anakin's personal bonds.
    -One of the few things he ACTUALLY learned from Qui-Gon is not to become "blind to the present" because of concern for the future (a wise lesson that MANY characters in fiction should learn. Looking at you, Paul Atreides, Emperor of Mankind, people in Harry Potter, etc.). So his telling Anakin that Force Visions aren't absolutes (ironic) is good, as well as his tact in not going for the Yoda route of "Let go of what you fear to lose". And for all his constant blindness to Anakin's emotional needs, I can totally believe he might "Hey, look, don't buy into this con. MAYBE we have something in the Jedi Archives to help Padmé if it comes to it".
    -Telling Anakin to take Padmé and go is both sound AND very cunning. While keeping Anakin around to fight Palpatine would be somewhat advisable, Padmé is a risk so long she stays in reach of Palpatine. Taking her out of Coruscant ASAP is the best course of action to ensure she can't be used in ANY way as leverage or hostage.
    -I'm not sure if he could immediately piece the Order 66 plan together in his mind like that, but I'm willing to let that go. Finding out about Mustafar sounds plausible, though.
    -And him being "The Negotiator", him going to Mustafar and offering the Separatist Council a deal so they expose Sidious is precisely what he would do. It's straight out of a TCW episode too!

    • @haberak3310
      @haberak3310 3 месяца назад +9

      I could buy Obi-wan piecing it together, if not immediately, then at least very quickly. Only a couple months prior, the Jedi council came within a hair's bredth of figuring out the purpose of the clones, with how extensive Dooku's involvement was and the Tup incident. They literally just needed Palpatine's identity for everything to line up and shatter any doubts. By Episode 3, the events of season 6 of TCW would definitely be fresh enough in their minds, especially in the mind of someone as thoughtful as Obi-Wan to make those connections.

      I mean, it would be a little contrived. No one seemed to be thinking too hard about the Clones' mysteries by the end of the Clone Wars. I'm not sure how much Obi-Wan was aware of Tup's incident compared to Anakin and the rest of the council; he must certainly have been informed, but it just clicking in to him sounds a bit convenient.

    This was really well done.

Of course it helps that Obi-Wan connected the dots with the inhibitor chips, but this would not have been crucial in Palpatines failings had it been Windus turn to inform the council. A lot more Jedi would have died, but the outcome would have still been in favor of the Jedi.

    Now we have most adequate script ever for Ep3 (not that BS we had all these years). And NOW we have the only one very least little thing left... to make true 3rd Episode and OT4-5-6 that we deserve (because Palp is still around with that darkness like a distant mist.. and Anakin is still choosen one, but now even more choosen one than before).
    There is very little left! We need a film by this script!

    The biggest issue is this: is Obi Wan enough of a confidant for anakin to break through to him. Palpatine was Anakin’s replacement father figure. Obi Wan was his replacement older brother. Mace Windu was a stern, critical boss. The questions should be does anakin trust obiwan more than palpatine. And given that palpatine knows about anakin and Padme but obiwan doesn’t, I don’t see Anakin’s fate being different.

    A dozen jedi flood in behind Mace and crash through the windows and overwhelm Palpatine.
    "STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING!"
    But satisfying isn't always right:
    "...and of course, our top story is the recently released holo footage of the elderly Chancellor being savagely beaten by the so-called Defenders of peace and justice..."
    "... Okay, admit, I must, that not a good look, this is."

    Neat video, I would recommend a little more variety in your reading. It is currently really monotone, almost AI. Vary your speed & pitch & such. The writing is solid there's just a real need to slow down a touch & read a bit more in a sort of storyteller pace & delivery.
    In terms of lore it is important to note that this would not happen, & that the reason Anakin was so frustrated about not being a master was that Anakin wanted access to those Jedi archives. His trust was rapidly deteriorating in his sleepless, tormented state. Palpatine played it perfectly. That said, it is a very interesting exploration. It is doubtful they could fully prevent Palpatine's plan. He was too well positioned, too aware. He would be aware of Kenobi's realization. This is also why I greatly dialike the inhibitor chip & tyrannys investigation introduced in the 2008 series, it is frankly bad lore.
    I would also consider that there is extreme control over the holo. There is also no way the Jedi could properly politically navigate it & the Separatists I do not see connecting, myself. However, this does show the competence of Palpatine much more so than many comparable videos. I do not think the Jedi would be aware enough to realize exposing him as a sith would not be enough in all honesty.

    This does go to show how much Palpatine was gambling even at this stage in his plan. While Mace was the ranking Jedi on Coruscant, he was also the Jedi Anakin trusted least, perhaps even his least trusted man in the Repunlic at this point (Lux was dead). And besides, when had Anakin ever been one to follow protocol? Literally any other Jedi on the council would have handled it better and Palpatine needed the Jedi's worst case scenario to make things work
