What If Anakin Skywalker Refused To Execute Order 66 on the Younglings? Let’s explore the depths of this scenario in the video.
Youngling: Master Skywalker, there are too many of them, what are we going to do?
Anakin looks at the youngling and his friends who are hiding behind the chairs. His orders are clear, no survivors. But as he stares into the child’s eye, he sees the emotions plain on his face. Fear, desperation, but also hope and respect. Though the Jedi Council might have never given him that, many in the Order still saw him as an equal.
His lightsaber feels heavy in his hand and he slips it back into his robes. Anakin bends down and places a hand on the younglings shoulder.
Anakin: Listen very carefully. You are to find a place to hide and stay there until it's all clear. I will ensure that no clones enter this area.
The younglings all seem heartened to have Anakin around and it makes his heart clench about what he did. But he hides his emotions and makes his way out. He tells the clones that he has already secured this area and that no one is to enter as he wants to inspect the Jedi Council Chambers personally after the battle.
Anakin soon departs along with most of his troops, leaving only a small garrison. For almost a day, the younglings remain hidden until they hear the sound of combat outside. The children gather by the windows to see Yoda and Obi-Wan fighting the clones stationed in the courtyard.
As they clear the area, the pair begin searching for survivors. To their surprise, they find a group of Jedi younglings running down the hall. The children rush to greet their masters as the pair exchange looks. They searched through the entire temple and found no signs of anyone, but these untrained children managed to escape.
Obi-Wan: Young ones, how did you survive?
Youngling: Master Skywalker protected us. He led the clones away while we hid in the council chambers.
Obi-Wan: Anakin was here?
The younglings all nodded as they had received no word from Anakin and more importantly, many of the Jedi weren’t killed with blaster fire, but lightsaber wounds and they had found footage of Anakin cutting them down. So why did Anakin help these young ones?
However, they do not have time to question it as they must first find him. Obi-Wan decides to confront Anakin while Yoda takes the younglings to safety. Thankfully, Yoda finds help from Bail Organa who saw the destruction of the Jedi Temple and ferries the survivors to safety. They regroup in a far-off medical station where Padme is staying.
When Obi-Wan returns he comes with grim news. He found Anakin, but the Jedi had gone over to the Dark Side and he was forced to defeat him. However, Yoda was unable to defeat the Emperor, meaning that Palpatine remained in power.
To make matters worse, Padme succumbs to the birthing process, leaving two more younglings in the group, Luke and Leia.
Yoda: Unsafe we are, so long as the empire exists. Exile we must go.
Obi-Wan: but what of the younglings? They are not meant for life on the run?
Bail: I have agreed to take Leia, but bringing this many children to Alderan will raise questions, especially since the Empire already suspects my involvement.
Yoda: Put this burden on you, we shall not. Take the children with me, I shall.
Obi-Wan: And I shall care for Luke. When the time comes, we shall bring them together and restore the Jedi Order.
The others agree with this plan and Yoda heads to Dagobah with the children. There he continues his training with Qui-Gon. Because of them, the Jedi Order can continue, but it cannot do so as it has before. The rise of the Empire has made the flaws of the Jedi Order clear and the old Jedi Master takes a different approach to training then.
Taking everything he learned from Qui-Gon and his experiences in the Wellspring of Life, he begins training the younglings in the ways of the living force just as they should have.
However, things are not going so well for Darth Vader. Although only a few younglings escaped, it does not escape Palpatine’s notice as several clones report how Vader locked down the Council Chambers and how a few children managed to escape.
He pieces together what happened and determines that Vader has not yet fully embraced the Dark Side. This only fuels Palpatine’s resentment towards his apprentice and he becomes determined to squash that weakness from him.
For the next few years, he sends Vader out on missions to hunt down the remaining Jedi, ensuring that Vader kills them and punishing him for every failure. This hardens his apprentice’s heart for the one act of compassion he spends years of punishment and makes him determined to hunt down these lost Jedi and finish them.
Despite all his efforts, he is unable to find the younglings or his former master.

One thing I dislike about the prequels is the part with the younglings. Every scene up to that point tells me that Anakin would not be feeling anything beyond fear of loss, and he should be reluctant enough about his orders that he only does what he does in his desperation to save Padmé. With the circumstances, his feelings of anger would be unfocused and he'd be overall confused and reluctant about everything (since he wouldn't trust Palpatine all that much either, knowing him all his life and him suddenly turning out to be a Sith Lord).
It would be better to get an extra movie out, and rewrite things so that Anakin starts off with more minor betrayals of the Jedi that he can justify to himself to save his wife. Then his growingly desperate actions would be discovered by the Jedi, resulting in a confrontation where Anakin fights so hard in order to accomplish his goal that the Jedi have to cripple him in self defence (the way it happens in Mustafar in the official timeline) in order to survive. His visions come true and Padmé dies while he's being constructed as Darth Vader. Palpatine then uses his grief about his broken body and the death of his wife to pit him against the Jedi, saying it was because of them that he was unable to save her. Then they initiate the Sith grand plan and hunt down the Jedi, turning the Republic into the Empire. The Jedi would have been raising Luke and Leia up to that point, and after surviving the Jedi purge, Yoda and Kenobi would split them up like they do in the original timeline. After all that, Vader would see the Jedi as a bunch of incompetents that couldn't stop a war, and contributed to a reality where a father and husband such as himself couldn't protect his family. He would firmly be seduced by the power of the dark side and be loyal to Palpatine, seeing a reality where he has an iron grip over everything as the only way to bring proper order to the galaxy (as hinted in Attack of the Clones with his conversations with Padmé).
The reality is that the pace of Anakin's fall wasn't adjusted well, and not having enough time and not wanting to break the trilogy formula, George made Anakin kick the metaphorical puppy real quick so that the audience buys that he's evil now.
That's just my two cents.
Love it
Palpatine in canon had this happened be like: more inquisitiors anakin you did something smart for once
Like with Pente Patrol’s video
In contrary, Palpatine WANTED Anakin to kill the Younglings
It's psychological and a last hurdle Anakin must clear
Anakin and Padme are about to have their, so Palpatine knew children would be very hard to kill for Anakin since it would remind Anakin of his own yet unborn child
Killing the Younglings was a test
Au contraire, Palpatine WANTED Anakin to kill the Younglings
It was a psychological test and one of the last hurdles remaining to become Vader
Padme was about to give birth to Anakins child. Palpatine KNEW killing the Younglings would be hard to Anakin since these Younglings would remind Anakin of his yet unborn child
@@jotheunissen9274 I was memeing
@@deanastephensosborne5604 Hard to tell without seeing a face
I like this particular what if when it comes to sparing the younglings. Good boy Anakin for not killing them
What if order 66 was never meant to kill the jedi instead the order is to capture the jedi for a number of imperial experiments later on?
Thats way worse than killing them
@@theomnipotent3574exactly
@@theomnipotent3574 and that's exactly why
What if danny phantom was in star war prequels movie
What if Anakin became the Daimyo of Tatooine?
Overlord of hutt space
I’d definitely want to see this ‘what if’ happen. I think he would make an excellent Daimyo of Tatooine.
What if The covenant from halo Had invaded The Star wars galaxy Durban The cold wars ?
Saturday+Star Wars=🍿🥤😎. Good video👍🏽👍🏽
The only thing missing was telling Vader he killed Leia to help turn him.
What if Anakin Skywalker discovered Gates of Shadows?
The whole reason Bail was allowed to take Leia was to hide both her and Luke, they're supposed to be the only hope, with other children going with Yoda that's moot and why only train Luke when Leia can also train but with yoda. If he's already gonna look after yungons it'd be irresponsible not to train both twins. Only training Luke was always irresponsible, two masters two children, Duh
Leia barely got any mention and was never brought up to Luke and Anakin's attention after Vader's bombers blew up her ship. Using the knowledge of Luke being Anakin's son to turn him, yet not mentioning his actions killing his daughter like his wife.
Honestly i think padme could have brought him back at this point as killing the younglins was what really destroyed anakin
I’ve been loving the content lately I can already tell this is a good one ❤
thanks william, glad you're enjoying it 😀
This is a perfect what if story😁👍🏻
Seeing your Hazbin Hotel crossover with Anakin Skywalker (really loved it btw, it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one ;3) reminded me of my dream crossover, that being a Star Wars x Sailor Moon crossover, idk if it'll ever happen, but hey, here's hoping, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
gimme a title! what did you have in mind
@@DarthTheorist Well after some careful thinking, I've come up with a kinda decent idea: What If Ezra and Thrawn Were in Sailor Moon R (it's Sailor Moon's 2nd season), basically they get transported there instead of Peridea, the 2nd half of that season involved saving the future, Ezra almost changed the future where he came from when he wanted to save Kanan, so I thought Ezra would probably be willing to help save that universe's future. Imagine the Sailor Guardians (I grew up watching the VIZ Media English Dub) fighting alongside a Jedi, heck, maybe even Thrawn would wanna attempt to form an alliance with the antagonist of that season, since I doubt he'd wanna help Ezra, and that's where my idea ends. I thought of a Sailor Moon crossover with either the prequel, original, or sequel trilogies, but when I thought of the Star Wars Rebels: Season 4 Finale, when Ezra and Thrawn went to a whole new galaxy because of the Purrgils attached to Thrawn's Star Destroyer, that...at least to me, would make the most sense in a What If scenario featuring those two franchises.
This is one of the best so far! Great job!👍
Also, Tantive IV is pronounced tan-ta-vee. If you listen to the Star Wars Radio Show, which was produced by Lucasfilm for National Public Radio in the early 1980s, you will find this out. All the Star Wars radio shows for the original are on TH-cam.
It's a good story, but didn't grab me like some of the other ones. Don't know why.
How about an some school crossovers?
What if Mon'Star, from The Silver Hawks, and his crime syndicate invaded the outer rim worlds?
What if Mumm-Ra, from The Thunder Cats, led the mutants of Plundar in an invasion?
What if Hordak and the hoard invaded the Galactic Republic?
I just can't finish this, Leia who? Leia Nayberrie-Skywalker gets zero respect getting killed by her father. Do the Jedi care? Do the fans?
#wastedpotential
What if Luke Skywalker completed his training with Master Yoda?
Meanwhile Ahsoka is twiddling her thumbs working in a cantina somewhere.
It was all very well thought out at the beginning, but I struggle to see the ending working out that way. They just walk in without Palpatine knowing? Vader's codes or not, this Palpatine is an idiot!
What if Anakin was trained by Dumbledore.
Or master roshi
What if george lucas bought marvel comics in the 90s
( What aliens Races and powers do you think would fit well in star wars )
What if Luke Skywalker did not bring his weapons in the Darkside Cave?
What if darth vader went to darthomir to learn. New suit or perhaps more unique powers.
Resurrect talzin maybe.
what if Vokara Che became a mentor to anakin as anakin was being treated for bullying and trauma from being a slave.
What if anakin fell in love with luminara unduli, serra keto or bultar swan.
What if anakin was taught by agen kolar or sasee tin or adi gallia.
As we know darth vader was a natural engineer and could use mechaguru or whatever so what if he used skill to create nanobots to repair his lungs and burns while also making limbs that could conduct the force to make lightning. This could relate to inquisitor baris as she used nanobots in the bomb and he may remember nanobots and their uses. He could could also conduct experiments diguised as torture to fool sidious, learning to heal wounds, make force sensitive droids/limbs and using nano bots to manipulate mididclorians to strip or enhance the force in individuals.
What I was thinking was that he used nanobots to remove scar tissue especially around the lungs and he would be dipped in bacta or bacta would be applied this would allow him breath which means he can meditate more deeply. And for the limbs, it is possible to make material force sensitive and I was thinking he make limbs skeletal looking like in attack of the clones but would then cover the we either grafed flesh from his body or flesh made from his blood and other ingredients like perhaps kyber crystal this would make the force flow from him easier and perhaps with the sith alchemy in the limbs making his force lightning more powerful. Basically an uber vader who is perhaps stronger than full potential anakin.
I always like seeing multiple different 'What if' but doing the same thing because it can be a possibility, and any could make it that interesting
What if anakin was found by jedi belonging to another sect like corelia or those nomadic jedi who allow attachment.
What if anakin went to dathomir in revenge of the sith to search for ways to save padme.
What if yoda decided to swap the masters of ferus olin and anakin.
So anakin with siri.
Obi with ferus
What if ahsoka and anakin crash landed on bendu's planet. Also what if darth vader joined thrawn in meeting the bendu and went on a spiritual journey back to the dust ball tatiotene.
What if the whills turned padme into a literal force angel to save vader.
Granted im only 17 minutes in the video. But what happened to leia? Assumed she died on the crash? Could have used that information to help vader turn
Do What if Myotismon from Digimon possessed Vader Instead of Yukio Oikawa
What if jocasta nu helped obi wan with anikan training providing texts and knowledge on the force and the original version of the code. Were obi wan can provide training about combat he does not possess knowledge of the higher mysteries which nu does such as force healing which would be useful in attack of clones. Plus it would anakin greater resources for learning and may become a consular or at least a sentinel instead of a guardian. All this could happen because of instead of sending anakin to his room where he just tinkers they send him to work in the library where nu will give him more discipline and may take a maternal interest.
What if anakin spirit in the world between worlds saved padme by making her a force ghost or new mother if the ones. She could make him help ben solo and others saying you got to help people who are suffering from your past actions.
What if anakin was piloting before attack of the clones and sensed ventress fall to the darkside as her master died and took his ship to the planet to investigate. Perhaps starting a romance as they are very similar in their stories.
Also what if ahsoka taught ben skywalker as she saw him as history repeating itself.
What if anakin was a jedi watchmen or wayfinder.
What if anakin went with kenobi to face maul and savage instead of adi gallia.
What if anakin fell in love with luminara or your own version of aayla secura romance.
What if oppo rancis trained anakin.
What if anakin met and fell in love with ventress just before the clone wars just after her masters death.
What if anakin became a jedi sentinel like a watchmen or one of those who find younglings.
What if evan piel became a mentor or second master to anakin.
Or anakin became a healer either before or after his mother death could be related to his friendship with offee or alternatively what if he was trained by tra sa who taught windu and actually did not forbid attachment as shown by her relationship with tholme , they could become like a pseudo parents to anakin and train him away from the temple in azati martial arts and from trasa the living force as she is a plant lady so imagine anakin controlling plant life.
What if vader healed himself (after finding out palpatine uses slavery) to overthrow sidious and reform the empire to an effective government eradicating slavery and corruption instead of palpatine empire of ego and sadistic pleasures.
Come on .
We all know that Anakin only attacked those evil little crotch goblins in self defense.
When Lord Vader entered the council chambers the vile little creatures attacked him and tried to murder him .
He had to strike them down to save his own life .
This is definitely one the most intense stories so far. This definitely reinforces the fact that Anakin does truly care for who he is as an individual. So seeing him refuse to execute Order 66 on the younglings and returning himself to who is is as well as on the path he was meant to take just shows that he’s wise and is always looking out for his friends and comrades. Plus I truly believe that deep down Anakin would never forgive himself if he did indeed kill the younglings because not only would that drive Padme away from him but the younglings looked up to Anakin as well as respected him and wanted to be just like him. So it was nice to see him spare them and prove that despite everything, he’s still a good person at his core and the light has not been driven completely from him. Plus that voice you did for Darth Vader is magnificent. This was an amazing ‘what if’ story and I can’t wait to see what you do next.
First.
hell yeah
So um... is Leia dead? She just kinda disappeared after Vader attacked.
This one was cool ! I propose : What if Ben solo kill Snoke in his first encounter
What if Bluey Heeler was the Mistress of the Sith? #HaveSomeCheeseAndJam
Do one with a Halo meet Star Wars. Like, what if the Covenant also attacked the Republic or Empire and the UNSC joined with the Republic, Rebels, or Empire to go against them?!
What if didn’t get his limbs chopped off and killed Keno i?
What is Anakin fell in love with the daughter after padme died
What if musashi miyamoto trained anakin skywalker.
What if galactus happeared and started to eat the planets in the clone wars
What if palpatine had a heart artavk after Vader finds out Padma died
*“I’ve got a SON😻😻😻😻” - HISHE Darth Vader.*
What if Blitzø, Milly, Moxxie and Loona were hired by Palpatine to kill Padmé? 🤔
So vader does not notice that luke has his old saber?
Dad Dank Ferik I'm disturbed 🫣🫣
