What if Anakin Skywalker Left The Jedi Order After Killing Dooku

Let’s explore the depths of it in the video. Anakin: I was thinking about it the whole way back here. First, what happened with dooku… now we’re having a child… Padme—We’re going to leave. Padme: Anakin, I don’t understand… what happened with dooku? And where will we go!? Anakin: The chancellor h-he… he made me kill Dooku. I didn’t want to. It wasn’t the Jedi way. But something he said to me… it made me lose control. I think this war is making everyone lose themselves. The chancellor, the Jedi, the senate, the republic… That’s why we need to leave. Nobody has been able to bring this war to an end. They say I’m the chosen one… maybe I can. I want you to go to Naboo. You’ll be safe there. I have a plan and I’ll meet you there soon. Padme: Anakin… I’m so sorry you had to experience that. If you think this is for the best , I'll support you through it all. All I want is for our child to grow up safe. Anakin strides with purpose through the Jedi temple, eager to discuss what happened with Dooku and his decision to leave the Jedi Order. The Council sits in silence. Mace Windu, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Plo Koon watch as Anakin enters. The tension is immediate. Anakin walks to the center of the chamber, but he does not kneel. His face is grim. His eyes are steady. Mace Windu: You asked to speak with us. I assume it’s about Count Dooku. Anakin: It is. I followed orders. I fought him. I disarmed him and I… killed him anyway. Whispers ripple. Obi-Wan straightens slightly. Yoda’s expression darkens. Anakin: The Chancellor ordered it. I hesitated—but in that moment, something in me snapped. And I obeyed. I didn’t think. I just… reacted. Obi-Wan: You regret it. Anakin: I do. But that’s not why I’m here. He looks around the chamber, then at the floor. A deep breath. Then— Anakin: I’m leaving the Order. Silence. Shock. No one speaks for a moment. Then— Mace Windu: You’re serious. Anakin: The war has corrupted everything. Even the chancellor is not out of its reach. The Jedi are no longer peacekeepers. We’re generals. Politicians. Tools. I’ve tried to believe this was the will of the Force, but I don’t anymore. Yoda: Difficult, the path ahead will be. Certain, are you? Anakin: I’ve never been more certain. I’m not turning my back on peace. I’m turning my back on this—on a Council that sees me as an unstable weapon instead of a man. On a Republic that applauds obedience but fears honesty. On a chancellor who would would kill an unarmed man. Obi-Wan stands now, stunned, stepping forward slightly. Obi-Wan: “Anakin… where will you go?” Anakin: To Padmé. To Naboo. And then… I’ll do what none of us have been able to do. I’ll end this war—on my terms.” He reaches for his lightsaber, unhooks it, and places it on the center pedestal. The room is silent. The lightsaber seems to echo as it lands. Anakin: May the Force be with you.” He turns and walks out. Obi-Wan watches him go—part heartbroken, part awed. Yoda lowers his head. Mace, expressionless, doesn’t move. Ki-Adi-Mundi: “He was our greatest weapon.” Yoda: A weapon, he was not. Lost, a great Jedi, we have. Found… perhaps something more.” Anakin walks back from the Jedi temple to his quarters, shoulders heavy. His lightsaber is gone. The halls feel quieter than usual. As he rounds the corner back to his room— Captain Rex stands waiting outside. Arms crossed. Helmet off. Rex: Sir. You alright?” Anakin pauses. They share a long look. Anakin: No, Rex. I’m not.” Rex: The men’ve been talking. You don’t look the same after that mission. And now the Council—whatever they said, we’re with you.” Anakin walks past him to the door, stops, looks back. Anakin: I just left the Jedi Order.” Rex stiffens. He looks stunned but doesn’t speak. Just processes it. Anakin: I’m done fighting their war. I need to end it… before it ends all of us.” Rex: Then… what happens to us?” Anakin looks him in the eye. Anakin: I’m not abandoning anyone. But this time, I’m not waiting for permission to do what’s right.” Rex (after a beat): Then wherever you go, sir… the men and I go with you. Rex stands at attention and gives Anakin a salute. Anakin: I’ve always appreciated your loyalty Rex. Assemble the troops, have everything ready by dawn. I have one loose end to tie up. Rain drips from rusted pipes above. Neon flickers through smog. The lower levels of Coruscant hum with life—but a different kind. Bounty hunters, vagrants, broken droids, shadowed corners. Anakin walks among them, cloak drawn, hood up. No lightsaber. He’s searching. Following something he hasn’t felt in quite some time: a familiar hum in the Force. His boots echo down an alley, past graffiti, past broken stone. Then—he stops. #starwars #starwarswhatif #whatif #anakinskywalker #anakin #ahsoka #501st #501stlegion
