What if Padme Convinced Obi-Wan to Save Anakin on Mustafar

What if Padme Convinced Obi-Wan to Save Anakin on Mustafar? Let’s explore the depths of it in the video. Padme feels her legs threatening to buckle underneath her as the weight of this news comes crashing down. She thinks about it and then finds herself unable to react. It can’t be right, but all of this makes too much sense and the signs are impossible to ignore. She turns and faces Obi-Wan, her expression pleading as she thinks on everything he just said. If it is true, then one thing is clear, Anakin is in grave danger. Padme: Obi-Wan, you must save him then. It is as you said, he has been deceived. Palpatine was his friend, he must be lying to him, manipulating him somehow. Obi-Wan: That doesn’t excuse the crimes he’s committed. He’s done unspeakable things, Padme. Anakin must be stopped. Padme: Maybe, but we should do it on our terms. If there is still good in him, there is still a chance. You saw his manipulations and chose to stand against him, doesn’t he deserve that opportunity? Obi-Wan frowns and looks down at the floor, pondering his words. Part of him wishes to say no, the part that recalls the younglings being slaughtered, the part which saw the horrible things Anakin’s done in the name of the Sith. But then he recalls his friend, recalls the kind man he was and the man who often fought for justice, being willing to do what others couldn’t. Who never hesitated to help others even when it broke the rules. He thinks back and realizes that perhaps that was why he had turned against the Jedi, all the rules and restrictions. All the times they had failed him. But not this time. Obi-Wan: Then we should get going now. The two of them hurry to Padme’s ship which takes off in the night. However, by the time they arrive, Anakin has already finished his mission. He stands over the body of Nute Gunray, coldly stepping over the fallen Namoidian and the other members of the CIS Council. It was a one-sided battle, but the results are dramatic as it gave Anakin access to the shut-down orders of the remaining droids, ending the war in a stroke. He walks out of the room, feeling a sense of pride. In contrast to his last mission, this one was easy to do. The CIS Council was filled with monsters and he found little shame or hesitation in cutting them down no matter how much they begged. But as he prepares to depart, he notices a ship approaching the landing pad and instantly recognizes Padme’s transport. He puts his lightsaber away as the ramp opens. But his eyes widen as he sees not just Padme, but Obi-Wan as well. Anakin: What is he doing here? Padme: He’s here because he cares about you, Ani. We both do. We’re here to stop you from making a huge mistake. Anakin: You’re too late! The deed is done, the council is dead and I have brought peace to the galaxy. Obi-Wan: At what cost, Anakin? You’ve lost yourself in the process. This isn’t you and what you’re bringing about isn’t peace, it's domination from the Dark Side. Padme: Please, Ani. Stop this! You don’t have to serve Palpatine. Anakin: You don’t understand. I don’t want to serve Palpatine. I want to overthrow him. Once he gives me what I want, I will get rid of him. And together, we can rebuild this galaxy, and make it better. Obi-Wan: Anakin, listen to yourself. You would betray everything you stood for to achieve this goal. That isn’t what you want, Anakin. I know it! Please, Anakin. I don’t want to fight you. Padme: Ani, listen to us. For a moment, doubt flickers across his face as he looks at them, the two people who matter most to him. While he initially felt angry at seeing Obi-Wan here, it’s slowly replaced with doubt and shame. He looks away, his hand drifting from his lightsaber as Obi-Wan raises his hand and takes a step closer, showing he is unharmed. Anakin: Obi-Wan…I’ve done things…terrible things. Obi-Wan: I know, but whatever things you’ve done. You now have a chance to begin making things right. But only if you let us help. Obi-Wan advances closer, reaching for his lightsaber and dropping it onto the ground. He stares into Anakin’s eyes imploringly, spreading his arms out. Obi-Wan: Anakin…please. Anakin reaches for his lightsaber but then lets it drop to the ground too. Padme runs up to her husband and embraces him, tears streaming down his eyes. Soon, Anakin feels the same way as he holds her tight. The trio quickly leaves and heads back to Coruscant, contacting Master Yoda who is confronting the emperor. Unfortunately, by the time they return, they find that Yoda has failed and barely escaped with his life. The chancellor jumps at this opportunity to further claim the Jedi are plotting against the Republic. They act quickly with Anakin distracting the chancellor while Obi-Wan and Padme make their case.
