What if the Jedi Anticipated and SURVIVED Order 66

What if the Jedi Anticipated and SURVIVED Order 66? Let's explore the depths of this scenario in the video.

After their mission to Oba Diah, Anakin and Obi-Wan return to the Jedi Temple with troubling news. The Darth Tyrannus who commissioned the clone army is Count Dooku.

Anakin: That doesn't make sense, the clones have been nothing but loyal and they've never helped the CIS.

Obi-Wan: We must consider the possibility this happened before Dooku fully embraced the Dark Side.

Yoda: Possible, but great is the risk of not considering the threat. Compromised, the entire clone army might be.

Mace: Master Yoda is right. We have no idea how deep Dooku's influence goes. While they might be allies to us today, there's no telling what might come in the future, especially with this war.

Shaak-Ti: Wasn't there an incident a few weeks back of friendly fire with a clone executing a Jedi?

Anakin shifts uncomfortably at the memory. Not only was that one of his soldiers, but the resulting investigation led to Fives nearly killing the chancellor and being executed by the Coruscant Guard.

Anakin: Yes, one of my men killed Master Tiplar. I still don't know exactly what happened, but one of my men claims that the clones have chips programmed into their heads.

Mace: The one who tried to kill the chancellor?

Anakin: Hesitates. Yes. That one.

Despite the shaky source, the Council understands the threat and wants to look into the clones. However, another problem is the mysterious Darth Sidious. Although they've known about this dark lord since Geonosis, they have no clue about his identity beyond being an influential government official.

He will likely try to halt their progress if they try to investigate. But there is also an opportunity to lure him out into the open. The council agrees to petition the chancellor to launch a senate inquiry into these inhibitor chips with Jedi supervision. They reason that if a Sith Lord like Count Dooku is involved, the Jedi have a stake in this development.

The chancellor and senate are reluctant to launch any investigation, reasoning that they must present a united front, and an investigation like this might anger the Kamonioans. In turn, this infighting might cause other groups to join the CIS.

Mace Windu remains adamant, reminding them that the Sith have now infiltrated the clones, posing a security threat. He takes this further by threatening to pull the Jedi Order's support in the war.

This bold move is controversial as Palpatine makes it seem like the Jedi are abandoning their duties to chase shadows. Much of the senate rallies alongside them as do the Kaminoans. They claim that the Jedi want to prolong the war to gain more power.

However, others support the Jedi's actions, especially when heroes like Mace Windu and Obi-Wan support the decision. As tensions escalate, many Jedi begin to leave the front lines. At first, it is the Padawans, the elders, then those in the temple. Soon Jedi knights depart and then the masters.

The Order does this gradually, leaving in small groups over several weeks. This ensures their disappearance isn't obvious until it's too late to stem the tide. Most Jedi meet up in Dagobah, though a handful of Jedi remain on Coruscant.

Taking a page from the Sith, they decide to work from the shadows to figure out the identity of Darth Sidious. Each Jedi spies spy on a senator suspected of being the Sith Lord. Among them is Anakin who was given the most important task of all, to keep an eye on Palpatine.

However, this also allows him to spend more time with Padme. Palpatine meets with Anakin regularly, being the only Jedi in his inner circle. Still, he does continue his mission to spy on the chancellor.

As the two meet, Anakin notes how much the chancellor is trying to turn him against them. He sees small hints of Palpatine hinting more and more that he has dark side abilities. He reports all of this to the Jedi who demand Anakin continue spying on them.

Palpatine: My boy, I am so glad you have not joined this farce of a protest the Jedi have launched.

Anakin: Of course, I must admit the Jedi raise many valid concerns. You've seen what happens when those inhibitor chips malfunction.

Palpatine: That was one incident amongst millions of clones. Surely you've seen their loyalty first hand. Can you truly say they are traitors?

Anakin: Well no, but Tup, the trooper who killed Master Tiplar acted like he could not control himself. If all the clones could be told to act that way, it would be disastrous.

Before Palpatine can respond, the room shakes violently. An explosion echoes through the corridors of the Senate building, followed by the distant sounds of blaster fire and the unmistakable hum of lightsabers. The office doors burst open, and clone troopers rush in, with their weapons ready.

Commander Fox's squad hurries to secure the office while Anakin ignites his lightsaber.
