What if Ahsoka Was With Anakin When He Became Darth Vader?
Sit back, engage your hyperdrive, and let’s explore this together.
The corridors of a remote Republic cruiser echo with urgency as Captain Rex and Ahsoka Tano stride side-by-side, hearts pounding in the aftermath of Order 66. Only moments ago, the clones turned on their Jedi generals. It’s a betrayal so complete, it rattles even the most steadfast. While still processing the sudden shift, Ahsoka and Rex exchange glances that mirror the shock shared by Jedi throughout the galaxy.
They eventually find refuge in a concealed hangar, starship engines humming softly in the background. Ahsoka kneels on the cold metal floor, her breath unsteady. She senses countless Jedi voices snuffed out through the Force, replaced by silent emptiness. The weight of the tragedy crushes her spirit, but her determination does not waver. If there is any chance to save what remains of the Jedi Order—or even a single friend—she must try.
Rex, helmet under his arm, gently places a reassuring hand on Ahsoka’s shoulder. His eyes hold compassion, though they’re heavy with uncertainty.
Rex (softly):
“We have to keep moving, Commander. Everything’s changed. We’re not safe here.”
Ahsoka stands, exhaling a shaky breath.
Ahsoka (resolute):
“You’re right. And we need answers. I sense… Anakin. He’s alive.”
For a moment, Rex appears relieved. Anakin was a hero to many clones, a symbol of bravery and camaraderie.
Rex (attempting a hopeful smile):
“If General Skywalker’s alive, then maybe we have a fighting chance.”
However, that glimmer of hope quickly recedes under Ahsoka’s furrowed brow.
Ahsoka:
“I felt something else. A deep anger inside him…like a storm. I need to find him before it consumes him.”
As they slip away from the cruiser in a borrowed shuttle, Ahsoka tunes into the chaos echoing across the HoloNet. The Jedi Temple on Coruscant is under siege. Palpatine, now Emperor by emergency powers, claims the Jedi have launched a rebellion. News reports flash images of the Temple in flames. In the hush of the cockpit, Ahsoka and Rex share a look of disbelief.
