What if Mace Windu Consulted Yoda Before Facing Palpatine

What if Mace Windu Consulted Yoda Before Facing Palpatine? Let's explore the depths of it in the video. Anakin Skywalker strides through the Senate rotunda, intent on finding Mace Windu. His body tense, heavy with the weight of what has just occurred, Palpatine is the Sith lord. His mind races with questions, how could he not have known? He’s known the chancellor for the majority of his life, sought his mentorship, and confided in him his deepest emotions. He feels pure disgust at the thought, not only because he never knew, but because the thought of saving Padme allows him to accept it. Mace feels the anger bubbling within him. He knows he must act, but his emotions are clouding his judgement. Mace Windu: We must tell Master Yoda immediately. If we are to save the Jedi order, we have to act quickly, but soundly. He’ll know what to do Mace and Anakin stride to the holo-projector and contact Master Yoda on Kashyyyk. Yoda: Master Windu, called so soon you have. And with Skywalker. What news do you have? Mace Windu: Our worst fears have been realized. Palpatine confessed to Anakin, he’s the sith lord we’ve been looking for. Yoda: Hmmmm, troubling, very troubling news, this is. Shrouded, the future is. Quick to strike, the dark side pushes us. Patient and deliberate, we must be. Skywalker, how do you know? Anakin: The Chancellor said his mentor taught him about the dark side of the force. He offered to help me, use his knowledge, and join him. Yoda: Help you… Help you how? Anakin: I… I can’t tell you. Mace: Dammit , enough of this madness, skywalker. Tell us everything! Yoda: Trust us, you can Anakin. Whatever you tell us, use it against you, we will not. Do not allow this dark lord to manipulate your emotions. Help you, we can, but only if you allow us to. Anakin: Okay, I’ll trust you, Master. *sighs* I’ve broken the Jedi code, and if I could start over I’d do it again. It’s the visions we discussed Master. They were of Padme. We’re in love and she’s pregnant. In the visions, she dies in childbirth. Palpatine says… he can save her. After hearing this, Yoda starts pacing around, unsure of how to respond. Mace feels that same anger bubbling within him. Both Jedi masters wonder how they could be so blind to everything happening around them. Yoda: Fear and love, both powerful they are. But lead to the dark side, fear of loss does. Mace: And you believe him? Skywalker, the Sith work in deception and manipulation to get what they want. They’ll tell you what you want to hear and twist your fears into chains. Palpatine doesn’t want to save Padme, he wants only to control you! The realization hits anakin like a ton of bricks. Part of him wants to believe what Mace is saying, but all he can focus on is saving Padme. Anakin: *voice shaking* Bbbut what if he’s telling the truth? What if he really has the power to save Padme? I can’t sit back and do nothing about these visions! Yoda: Do nothing, we will not. The dark side, blind you and twist the truth it does, anakin. Certain are you, that these visions will come to pass? Yoda hits a nerve within anakin, and all his emotions from his mother’s death come rushing back to him in full force. Anakin: *frustrated* I’ve seen it master! It felt real, just like the visions of my mother… and she DID die. I won’t, I CAN’T let it happen again. Through the Holo project, Anakin can see Yoda smile gently. Mace windu walks over to Anakin and puts a hand on his shoulder. Mace: Skywalker… I’m sorry, I had no idea what you were going through. Yoda: Let us handle this situation , young Skywalker. Go to Padme, be with her you will. Relieved of duty , you are, until your child is born. Allow this situation to play out, see if your visions truly come to pass. Station Jedi at Padme’s Quarters, we will. Anakin, thoroughly surprised to hear this kind of reaction from the two masters, is able to calm himself down and make his way to Padme. Once Anakin is gone, Mace and Yoda focus on the matter at hand. Yoda: Slippery and devious , this sidious is. A grand plan in the making, it must have been. Naboo, the creation of the clones, the clone wars, political corruption, Anakin, even count dooku - all parts of this dark lord's plan, they were. Careful we must be when confronting him. Mace: I agree. But with the war fronts, we do not have many Jedi to spare. Yoda: No war front matters more than this. Defeat Sidious, and end the war we shall. Convene the Jedi Council, we will. For the first time in a long time, the veil has been lifted. With knowledge of the chancellor being the Sith Lord they’ve been looking for, it all rushes to Yoda instantly. He has clarity of the situation at hand at last. #starwars #starwarswhatif #yoda #darthsidious #palpatine #macewindu
