Welcome to chapter 15 of Star Wars: A Galaxy of Adventures - A React Fanfic.
I'm back again with another new chapter!
I finally return to the Clone Wars, making a react of the Wrong Jedi Arc and showing Ahsoka leaving the Jedi Order.
Now onto the story!
Enjoy!
"Speaking"
'Thinking'
*Sounds*
[Character/Person speaking in the video]
(video narrative)
Everybody actually felt better after watching the last video, being assured that Palpatine and the Sith Order could be destroyed. Especially Anakin.
He is now sure that he can fulfill his role as the Chosen One, Jedi or not. He understands Darth Vader's creation and won't deny it, now being aware of the price the Dark Side of the Force offered.
The movie screen suffers a slight distortion as Veritas' form appears on it.
"Greetings, everyone. Now that everyone, hopefully, better understands the struggles Anakin faced so far, we must now return to the Clone Wars."
At this, the audience got apprehensive once again. What are they going to watch this time? An important battle over a system?
"You're all about to witness why Ahsoka Tano left the Jedi Order." Veritas calmly states before disappearing from the screen.
All eyes turn towards the young Togruta, making her feel uncomfortable.
Anakin inhales sharply as his expression becomes grim. He soon remembers certain words from the previous video:
'She made the decision, Anakin.'
'Well, what choice did we give her? The moment there were any suspicions about her loyalty, the Council turned their back on her!'
'Ahsoka… Have I failed you in the end?' Anakin ponders, dejected.
As for the young Togruta, part of her already expected that the reason for her leaving the Order would be revealed sooner or later. But that doesn't mean she was ready to learn whatever the future has in store for her.
"..." Yoda pensively observes the Jedi Knight and his Padawan. Like Padme and Obi-Wan, the green dwarf knew that Ahsoka was an important moral anchor for the Chosen One.
If Anakin loses her…
'Ready he is to teach an Apprentice, to let go of his pupil a greater challenge it will be.' The Grandmaster remembers the words he told Obi-Wan back on Christophsis, when Master and Padawan met for the first time…
Attachment indeed was Anakin's greatest strength and weakness: A double-edged sword.
Kenobi was also thinking the same, still believing in Anakin's potential to teach and guide Ahsoka. Both were a good influence on one another…
Now playing: Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Sabotage
[Title Sequence]
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
"The Title Sequence feels more… Welcoming, I suppose? The yellow letters feel more pleasant to watch in comparison to the red ones from before." Oppo Rancisis comments, stroking his beard, as the others think about the Clone Wars' Finale, agreeing with the elderly Jedi Master.
"Sometimes even the smallest doubt can shake the greatest belief."
"Doubt and… Belief? Could this message have a greater meaning for what we're about to watch?" Eeth Koth wonders.
"The title for this episode is called Sabotage, maybe we will understand what happens in the end." Coleman Kcaj says next.
[Narrator]: Invasion! The planet Cato Neimoidia is under Separatist attack. Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ashoka Tano, rush to the rescue as they lead a squadron of starfighters to the planet below.
"There's no mistake. This voice sounds indeed like Admiral Yularen's." Anakin points out as he, Ahsoka, Rex and Obi-Wan agree with the Jedi Knight. The four being the ones who interact the most with the man in question.
(Cato Neimoidia is being shown under the attack of the Separatist forces. Cut to Anakin and Ahsoka leading a group of Republic starfighters and gunships to the planet's surface, piloting their Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptors.)
If she was being honest with herself, Ahsoka would admit to being more glad to be flying an Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor if it weren't for the fact that they there to save Cato Neimoidia. So there probably were some good Neimoidians who didn't make a living off of double-dealing during the war, but those Neimoidians wouldn't be living on Cato Neimoidia which was where only the wealthiest of the elite could live.
Which meant Neimoidans like Lott Dud and Nute Gunray. Not the nice ones. Padme and Bail also being aware of this.
[Anakin]: Ahsoka, punch a hole for the gunships to get through.
[Ahsoka]: I know the drill, Master.
(Several of the Clone pilots are shown being destroyed by tri-fighters.)
"Cato Neimoidia..." Padme muttered as she thought about a particular Neimoidian Viceroy.
'This place is not going to be an easy battle.' Plo Koon thinks, grimacing, as he remembers about his future death on Cato Neimoidia.
[Ahsoka]: Look out, incoming missiles.
(One of Ahsoka's panels began to beep as she gritted her teeth. She called her Master as she jerked her ship to the side, avoiding a missile from hitting her and R7.)
[Anakin]: No problem.
(Anakin smirked and just barely drifted to the side as the missile blew past him.)
[Anakin]: Uh... slight problem.
(The smirk fell from his face as the missile suddenly blew apart and dozens of Pistoeka sabotage droid were flying towards him. Anakin could just hear the droids chattering to each other as they began to cut into his fighter.)
Padme, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and Rex were giving Anakin unimpressed looks.
"Hey, come on. That has yet to happen. I will be more careful with the droids next time. I swear." Anakin tries to convince the four of them.
[Anakin]: Ahsoka, I've got buzz droids. How bad did you get hit?
[Ahsoka]: I'm all clear.
[Anakin]: What? You always have it easy, Snips.
"It's called skill, Master." Ahsoka remarks with, a smug smirk, at her Master.
"Very funny, Snips. And who taught you in the first place." Anakin huffs, prompting some of the others to chuckle lightly.
(Outside there was a metallic thump as Artoo slammed on of the wing flaps down onto a couple of droids.)
[Anakin]: Good job, R2. Someday these droids will learn they keep messing with the wrong Jedi.
(Anakin cheered on the astromech as he raised one hand up towards the cockpit door. Grunting a little, the Jedi Knight used the Force to shove the buzz droids away as the glass began to break.)
[Ahsoka]: Looks like you're clear.
[Anakin]: Just keep watching and learning, Padawan.
(Anakin broke off his sentence and glanced down at the floor between his feet. There was grinding noise, the sound of metal being peeled up, and a small drill poking through. The minute it broke through, his controls went haywire.)
[Anakin]: Uh-oh.
"Uh-huh." And once again, the others were now deadpanning at the Jedi Knight in question.
"You guys are not letting this down, huh?" Anakin shakes his head in slight dismay.
[Ahsoka]: You're trailing smoke. What's wrong?
[Anakin]: Oh, nothing serious. Just a small malfunction.
(Anakin's fingers danced frantically over the controls. Sparks jumped out and nipped his fingers. Alarms blared and smoke filled the cockpit. But he wasn't going to tell his Padawan that.)
*Bang!*
[Anakin]: Ugh!
Padme's eyes widened at this, the Senator's heart was already beating fast. The others were looking concerned as well.
(Something exploded and his head slammed backwards into his seat. And everything went black. )
[Ahsoka]: Master? Master, come in. R2, what's going on over there?
(R2 beeps, telling the Togruta that her Master is unconscious.)
[Ahsoka](To R2): Unconscious? Fly back to the cruiser.
(R2 beeps again, telling her that he can't return with Anakin.)
[Ahsoka]: What do you mean there's something wrong with the engines? Tip your wing. I'll see how bad it is.
(But Ahsoka couldn't see any damage when Artoo tipped the ship to the side to expose the bottom. She couldn't see any damage because the bottom was covered in buzz droids! )
[Ahsoka]: Oh, that's not good.
It looked like, once again, her mentor was losing another ship. That would make the GAR unhappy, but Ahsoka doubted that the ship-makers would complain.
(R2 beeps in confusion.)
[Ahsoka]: Let's just say now would be a good time to land.
(The pair swung around one of the towering stone pillars upon which the Neimoidians had built. Ahsoka's eyes scanned the area quickly, finally finding a pillar lacking any sort of structure.)
[Ahsoka]: R2, can you land the ship on that cliff ledge?
(R2 beeps)
R2 beeps something as C-3PO agrees with the astromech.
"Indeed, R2. At least Master Anakin has you." The protocol droid spoke.
[Ahsoka](To R2): I don't care if the landing zone is too short. Get that ship on the ground. (To R7) R7, take over the ship. I'm going after Anakin. Somebody has to save his skin.
Memories of R7's death flashed through Ahsoka's mind. She now made a self promise to take better care of her astromech companion once she returns to the real world.
(She waited for confirmation that R7 had indeed taken control before she popped open the canopy of her fighter. The wind ripped at her clothes and skin. Ahsoka gripped the edges of her fighter as she carefully climbed out of the cockpit and edged her way out onto the wing nearest Anakin's fighter. The teenager braced herself, wrapping the Force around her.
They were racing to the cliff and Ahsoka watched as Anakin's fighter slammed into the ground. It skidded and bounced, spewing up rocks and clumps of dirt. She could hear the cries of the buzz droids as they were smashed beneath the fighter.
Ahsoka narrowed her eyes and bent her knees. She needed to time this just right...
She launched herself through the air, landing on the wing of Anakin's fighter...and crying out as she slipped and fell. Ahsoka reached out, grabbing onto the fighter as tight as she could. Grunting, she pulled herself up until she could peer into the cockpit. Anakin's body was rocking back and forth limply as the fighter raced to the edge.)
The Jedi Masters look in intrigue. Once again, Ahsoka has inherited her Master's reckless traits. Not that it was a bad thing.
(Artoo whistled shrilly in alarm as Ahsoka drew her blade and ignited it. In one smooth move, she had slashed through the canopy, forcing its opening, and turning it off. Then she reached in and grabbed Anakin, pulling him out and jumping back off the fighter. She hit the ground and grunted as the sharp stones bit into her back. Ahsoka let go of Anakin's body and sat up in time to watch as the fighter with Artoo plunged over the side of the cliff!)
[Ahsoka]: R2!
(The young Togruta cried for the little droid as she pushed herself to her feet. There was a distant explosion and once more Ahsoka felt her heart sink...)
Most of the audience sighed in relief after seeing that Anakin was now safe.
However…
"R2!" Anakin and Ahsoka both looked horrified as the golden starfighter exploded in the distance. Even the astromech in question semmed distressed while his golden friend was trying to comfort him.
Anakin looked in relief at this. He already lost R2 several times. He would never forgive himself if something happened to the white and blue astromech.
Artoo chirped happily as he appeared, his boosters firing to fly him through the air. Ahsoka's shoulders dropped in relief and she rolled her eyes at the astromech.)
[Ahsoka](sarcastic): Ugh, very funny, R2.
Anakin looked in relief while everybody else looked at the white astromech in intrigue. R2 was more cunning than any other droids they have seen so far.
Obi-Wan and Ahsoka always wondered why the Jedi Knight cared so much about this particular astromech. Now that they learned about Anakin and Padme's relationship, things made more sense:
R2-D2 was Padme's before he became Anakin's droid during the Clone Wars. And C-3PO was created by him.
The couple gifted each other with the two respective droids. While Anakin gifted Padme Threepio, she gifted him Artoo. The droids were the symbol of love, of their marriage to each other. Since the two were not able to have wedding bands, Anakin and Padme thought of them as the next best option.
Both droids were very special to the couple. It was one of the few gifts Anakin could have in secret from the love of his life.
And it was one of the two main reasons Anakin always tried his hardest to keep Artoo, the Jedi Knight would go after the droid when the astromech went missing. The other reason was that Artoo was a valued friend and companion as well, just like Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and Rex. Someone irreplaceable.
[Ahsoka](To Anakin): Are you okay, Master?
(Anakin waved a hand before wincing and using the hand to rub his head gingerly.)
[Anakin]: Yeah, what'd I miss?
(His Padawan shrugged her shoulders with a slight smile.)
[Ahsoka]: Oh, not much.
[Anakin]: Wait a minute. Wasn't I flying? Where's my fighter? How did I get here?
Some in the audience shook their heads at this in amusement. If Anakin was freaking out about his fighter then he would be fine.
[Ahsoka]: Fighter crashed. I saved the day. You're welcome.
Ahsoka looks at her Master with a smirk of triumph.
"Alright. I get it." He simply says back, crossing his arms. Anakin also looked at his Padawan in approval, relieved that he can count on her to watch his back.
[Anakin]: Huh, all right.
(Anakin shoved himself up and used the Force to soothe away his headache and the pain of shaken limbs. He tapped his wrist com as he raised it to his face. Ahsoka was gently rubbing her hands over Artoo's domed head.)
[Anakin]: (To Rex) Captain Rex, Ahsoka and I need a little help.
CUT TO: Inside of a Gunship - With Rex and the other Clones
[Rex](To the comlink on his wrist): Right away, sir.
(The Gunships start to head towards the Jedi's position.)
CUT TO: Back to Anakin and Ahsoka
(Anakin's comlink beeped and he glanced at Ahsoka. The Jedi Knight answered it, pressing the button to open up the holo-link.)
[Anakin]: Master Yoda.
[Yoda](To Anakin): Return to the Jedi Temple quickly, you should, you and your Padawan.
(The small Grandmaster's voice was quiet and heavy. His eyes were both angry and sad.)
Why would Yoda call them back? The Jedi looked at each other in confusion. What could be so important?
[Anakin]: We're kind of busy, Master Yoda.
(As if to prove his point vulture droids roared over their heads as they were chased by GAR fighters, lasers blasting. In the distance, they could see a Separatist frigate on fire as a Republic ship pursued it to bring down.)
[Yoda]: The reason we need you, important it is, Skywalker. Bombed the Temple hangar, someone has. Your assistance to find the terrorist, we need.
*Gasp!*
"W-What!? How is this possible!?" Stass Allie breathed out, shocked.
"How could the Separatists even manage to do that!?" Ki-Adi speaks, believing them to be the ones responsible for this tragedy.
What were the casualties!? How many died!?
(Yoda's image disappeared and was replaced with one of the Temple. The Temple from which they could see smoke pouring from one of the hangers.)
Ahsoka shook her head as she stared at the rotating image of the Temple. She had heard of those who were unhappy with the war, with the Jedi. Their voices were growing louder. But there was no way someone could have actually set off a bomb in the Temple. The security was so tight.
[Ahsoka](Worried): Who could successfully bomb the Jedi Temple?
[Anakin](To Yoda): We'll be right there, Master.
CUT TO: Coruscant - Jedi Council Chamber
[Anakin]: How could the Separatists infiltrate the Temple?
(Anakin asked as he and Ahsoka stood in the center of the chamber.)
[Yoda]: Worse than that it is.
[Ahsoka]: What could be worse, Master Yoda?
(Silence rang in the chamber after her question. It was the heavy sort of silence that only grew heavier and heavier until it began to hurt.)
[Windu]: Everything is on the table. We have to look at the possibility that it could've been anyone in the Temple, even a Jedi.
The bomber could be a Jedi!? But that didn't make any sense at all! This was currently their home, the home of all the Jedi. Who would bomb their own home!?
Every Jedi looked grim at this, eyeing each other in confusion. Even one of them could be responsible for this bombing!?
[Yoda]: If a Jedi this is, gone to the Dark Side they have.
Yoda looked older than he had on the holo. The attack on the current home of the Jedi had been a blow. It had been a message. That even in their walls the Jedi and those that worked for them were not safe.
[Ahsoka]: I... I can't believe a Jedi would attack a place this sacred.
Ahsoka agrees with her future self.
Plo Koon looked sadly at the screen. Even in war, they had done their best to shield younglings like Ahsoka from the worst the galaxy had to offer. Maybe it was a mistake. A mistake to let her fight, but she was a Jedi nonetheless. She would not be content to sit back and watch.
[Windu]: We'd like for you two to lead the investigation. We can't trust anyone who was here, even a Jedi. You and Ahsoka will provide an impartial point of view free of assumptions.
Despite the circumstances, Anakin and Ahsoka felt honored that the Council would entrust the two of them with such an important task. Both hope to not fail their expectations…
[Anakin]: We'll do everything we can.
[Yoda]: Careful you must be, Skywalker. If willing to destroy the Temple the attacker is, to great lengths they will go to keep from being caught.
[Anakin]: Then I guess we'll have to go to even greater lengths to catch him.
CUT TO: Jedi Temple - Bombed Hangar
Ahsoka's hands were coming up to cover the sides of her montrals. The Jedi could hear them. They could hear the screams of the beings who had been inside when the bomb had exploded. All of them could still feel the victims' fear and pain.
[Anakin]: I can still hear the screams.
The Force also affected the Jedi audience, allowing them to perceive part of what the victims experienced during the bombing.
[Ahsoka]: Do you believe what they said, Master, that a Jedi could do this?
(Crime scene analysis droids stood at certain spots, blue beams streaming from their optical receptors as they scanned the area. A few techs had been sent by the Senate to do their own fact gathering while a pair of Senate Clones in their red-marked armor stood guard at the door. Smoking piles of debris, burnt husks and pieces of ships were still there. Not all bodies had been removed.)
[Anakin]: Not every Jedi agrees with this war, Ahsoka. There are many political idealists among us.
The Jedi Masters agreed with that statement. Many decided to not fight in the war, even if it was to protect the Republic from the Sith.
[Ahsoka]: But a traitor?
[Anakin]: I'm afraid one can eventually become the other. Remember Count Dooku and General Krell. That's how they started, too.
Ahsoka crossed her arms over her chest as though hugging herself. She wasn't a child anymore, didn't have the same blind faith of her youth. She knew there were issues in the Jedi Order, knew that there were Jedi who had fallen off the path.
Everybody wanted to deny the notion of another betrayal, but that wasn't entirely impossible.
Rex grimaces as the images of Pong Krell comes into his mind, alongside the Besalisk's taunting laughter…
[Russo](To the Jedi): Only analysis and investigation will prove what is true or not.
(Knight and Padawan spun to face a crime scene analysis droid. He didn't seem at all impressed with the Jedi sent to investigate the crime. The droid flipped up its visor and looked down at the datapad in his hands.)
[Anakin]: Who are you?
[Russo]: I am Russo-ISC, Crime Scene Analyzer for the Jedi. I will be working with you and your Padawan on this case. I was assigned by Master Windu.
That somewhat explained the droid's attitude. It was very similar to the sterner Korun Jedi Master.
[Anakin]: Okay, Russo, you and Ahsoka should begin the interviews.
[Russo]: I would rather interview the witnesses alone.
(Anakin and Ahsoka exchange glances, unimpressed.)
[Ahsoka]: Why?
[Russo]: Many of the wounded have heard rumors a Jedi was behind this explosion. There will be ill will toward you.
It was not a secret that there were those who hated the Jedi. They came across them every-time they stepped out onto the battlefield or in regards to anything related to the war.
But these were people of the Republic. Beings who worked in the Temple on a daily basis and saw the peacekeepers almost every day. They knew them, knew what they were really like.
But now, because of the chance that a Jedi might be behind the bomb, they were afraid and no longer trusted the Order.
[Anakin]: I think you're overexaggerating, Russo. There were Jedi killed in that blast along with maintenance crew and Clones. Take Ahsoka with you. Let me know if you find anything.
Some of the Jedi Masters became somber at this. So some Jedi also got caught in the explosion? Surely another traitor could not be the one responsible, right? They hope so.
[Ahsoka]: I will, Master.
(Ahsoka and Russo leave the hangar while Anakin stays behind.)
CUT TO: Jedi Temple - Medical Bay
[Ahsoka]: Did you notice anything unusual about the hangar?
(The Padawan was standing as tall as she could, datapad in hand, and her eyes set in determination. She was growing up and seemed to enjoy playing the role of detective.
The worker Ahsoka was questioning yelped as he pushed himself up. The 2-1B surgical droid tended the man's leg. His orange jumpsuit and helmet were stained with dirt, singed, and smelt of smoke, oils, and fuel.)
[Worker]: Not really. Although, I left the hangar five minutes before the bomb exploded.
[Ahsoka]: Did everything seem okay before that?
[Worker]: Everything seemed normal. (Now feeling nervous and hesitant)Is it true a Jedi might be responsible for the attack?
"Right..." Kit Fisto said carefully as a sense of unease came over everybody.
[Ahsoka]: We're not certain of anything at this point.
(Ahsoka walked to the center of the room. Russo meets her there, his own datapad in hand. The Togruta let go of her datapad with one hand, using it to rub her arm as shivers ran up and down her body.)
[Ahsoka](To Russo): This distrust is troubling. Some of these people have worked in the Temple for years.
"This is starting to become a trouble." Saesee Tiin says, frowning.
[Russo]: Fear makes even the most trusting individual irrational.
"Russo's right. He seems to know how to give a logical approach." Windu says, nodding in approval at the forensics droid.
'Of course… After all, you choose him.' Many in the audience thought.
[Pantoran Worker](To Ahsoka and Russo): I think I know who did it, who blew up the hangar.
(The two Padawan, and droid turned to see a Pantoran male. He was slouched on a bench, looking just as tired and dirty as the others in the medbay. But he didn't seem to be holding any of the same fear that the others held. The two approach the worker.)
[Ahsoka](To the worker): Who?
[Pantoran Worker](rubbing his forehead lightly): I believe it was Jackar Bowmani.
"Jackar Bowani..." Obi-wan thinks pensively. The name wasn't ringing any bells.
[Ahsoka](The markings on Ahsoka's face wrinkled as she furrowed her brow): Jackar Bowmani. Who is Jackar?
[Pantoran Worker]: One of the maintenance crew in the hangar.
[Ahsoka]: Why do you think it was him?
[Pantoran Worker]: I passed him as I was going on my shift change. He… he had been working all morning in the section the blast came from. It was the last place I saw him.
[Russo](Showing a picture in the datapad to the Pantoran Worker): Is this him?
(Russo brushed past Ahsoka and held his datapad up, facing the Pantoran so he could see the image on it of a male Abyssin.)
[Pantoran Worker]: Yes.
[Russo]: I need to know, have you seen him since the explosion?
[Pantoran Worker]: No. Truthfully, I didn't see much of anything after the explosion.
(The Pantoran was stiff as Ahsoka leaned forward and gently rested her hand on his shoulder.)
[Ahsoka]: Thank you.
"Maybe we should try to memorize the names of those that work for us. Even try to know them better." Anakin suggests, earning a nod of agreement from his Padawan.
(She and Russo stepped away, preparing to leave the room.)
[Ahsoka]: Looks like we need to find Jackar Bowmani, Russo.
(The Togruta glanced up to see that Anakin had arrived, pausing as he searched the room for them. The workers that had been lounging by the doors, waiting to be seen got up and moved, as fast they could, away from him.)
"These workers all seem to be good people, I can't imagine one of them being responsible for this." Shaak Ti speaks softly while looking at the injured hangar crew with sympathy.
[Ahsoka](To Anakin): Did you find anything?
[Anakin]: No, but the rumor about it being a Jedi is growing, Ahsoka. I can feel the anger and confusion throughout the Jedi Temple.
[Ahsoka]: Russo and I have a lead. We are looking for one of the Temple workers, Jackar Bowmani.
(Ahsoka pulled out her image caster and called up the image of the Abyssin male. Anakin took the caster, studying the file. )
[Russo]: One of the witnesses saw him in the area where the bomb exploded right before it happened, and we have not been able to find him anywhere.
[Anakin](To Russo): Come on. Nobody just disappears.
"Indeed, it semmed hard to imagine Jackar easily getting away with the bombing. Is he really the culprit?" Plo Koon wonders.
(Anakin slipped the caster into his belt pouch.)
[Russo]: Unless it was well planned out.
[Anakin](To Ahsoka and Russo): Well, it had to be well planned out to get past Jedi. I'll talk to security.
CUT TO: Jedi Temple's entrance
There had been a time when there had been no one outside the Temple, standing at the steps with their fists and voices raised in anger. But in recent weeks it seemed there was an anti-war and anti-Jedi protest almost every day. And at each protest, there were more beings, more signs, and more anger. It was bad enough that Temple guards and Senate Clones stood at the ready and, this time, there were even lattys.
It wasn't how the Temple was supposed to be and it only made Anakin hope that things would change for the better one day...
[Civillians]: No more Clones! Stop the violence! End the war! Stop the violence!
Ahsoka grimaces the more she watches the screen. Why did she leave the Jedi Order?
[Anakin](To Cin): They're all family and friends?
[Cin]: Yes, looking for answers.
"We really seem to be losing the faith people had for us. No wonder Palpatine could easily become Emperor later." Eeth Koth thinks bitterly, the other Jedi sharing his frustration.
Padme and Bail look at each other. They know that the Jedi Order, especially those close to them, are doing everything they can to end the war and save the galaxy.
It won't be easy, but maybe the two pacifist Senators and the rest of their allies could help the Jedi regain their trust and expose Palpatine for his atrocities…
It was worth a shot…
(Anakin pulled the caster from his belt and held it out. He thumbed it on so that the older Jedi could see the image and file.)
[Anakin]: So am I, Cin. This is the guy who might be behind all of this. If you see him, alert me immediately.
[Letta](To the Jedi): That is Jackar.
(Both men's heads swung around. A human woman, dressed in purple and with tattoos decorating her body, had pushed her way through the front of the steps. She was staring at the image in shock.)
[Anakin](To Letta): You know this man?
[Letta]: He is my husband. I've been trying to reach him since I heard of an explosion. Where is he?
[Anakin]: I need you to come with me.
(The woman wrapped her arms around herself and stepped back. Then she lifted her head high, squared her shoulders, and walked forward to the Temple.)
CUT TO: A small room
(Letta Turmond turned as soon as they had entered the room. She clutched a small cup of tea in her hands, but it appeared that she hadn't drank from it yet. The woman was nervous and afraid...)
[Letta]: You have no idea where Jackar is?
[Anakin]: No.
[Letta]: You are a Jedi, and you cannot find him?
[Anakin]: I understand your frustration.
[Letta]: Don't. Just find Jackar.
(Slowly she sat down. Anger leaked into the nerves and fear. Letta turned her head away from the Jedi so that she wasn't looking at him.)
[Anakin]: Letta, do you think Jackar could do something like this, blow up the Temple?
It was rude to ask it right away as everybody else looked at Anakin in disapproval.
"Ok... Maybe I could have asked her another way." The Jedi Knight tries to defend himself.
[Letta](She glares at Anakin): Do you have any idea what someone has to go through to work in the Jedi Temple, hm? Jackar dedicated his life to serving the Jedi. It had been his dream. Not just anyone can walk into your precious Temple. He passed all the entry tests that were needed.
Anakin did understand Letta to some extent, even sympathizing with her. He almost didn't manage to join the Jedi Order for being too old to be trained. At this, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka looked at the young man in understanding.
[Anakin]: Okay, I had to ask. Unfortunately, everyone's a suspect.
[Letta](Dejected): Jackar would never do anything like this. Please, find him.
(Anakin looks solemnly at her, looking at the woman in understanding.)
"She knows something."
Anakin glanced over at his wife. Padme was nibbling on her lower lip and he could see her mentally reviewing the questioning of Letta.
The Jedi probably had had to let the woman go. There was no reason for them to keep her.
"I picked up that she wasn't the greatest fan of ours." Anakin told her.
"No... it's almost like she hates the Jedi. But more than that she knows something..." Padme says, narrowing her eyes at the screen.
CUT TO: Bombed Hangar
(The bombing was being replayed through holograms: A latty exploding in the hangar being the source of the issue.
But Ahsoka barely glanced up at it. She kept her eyes on the datapad as she walked through flickering debris and bodies. She paused at one spot, tapping on the white tag that popped up and read over the information, checking it against her datapad. With a frown, she tapped the tag again and vanished the file. Then Ahsoka continued to walk through the explosion.)
The audience hoped that something could be done to avoid the loss of lives. Especially to save the workers' lives. They did nothing to deserve such a fate.
[Ahsoka]: Hmm… based on the trajectory of the debris, it seems the blast came from there.
(Her eyes followed an arc of debris to a mass of frozen blue flames and smoke where the ship had stood.)
[Russo](looking up from the controls of the holo): Why is there no bomb residue?
[Anakin](approaching Ahsoka and Russo): So you think whoever did this triggered a ship to explode?
[Ahsoka]: We think so. Russo's trying to use the shrapnel to determine that now. The witness says he saw Jackar in the area. Maybe Jackar planned to do this and just kept quiet.
[Anakin]: Or…
[Ahsoka]: It actually was a Jedi.
But still, they hoped that it wasn't a Jedi.
[Russo](To the Jedi): I found something, an anomaly, something that should not be here.
(The droid had lowered his visor and pressed a button on the controls. The chaos around them was suddenly flying past them as Russo strolled through it. He stopped at a section of debris, tags popping up on them indicating that something had been found on them. The circle of one of the tags grew bigger, showing dozens of tiny little droids.)
[Russo]: These pieces came from the blast origin. They are covered with microscopic droids of a highly volatile nature.
[Anakin]: Nano-droids.
[Russo]: Yes, nano-droids.
Rex looked cautiously at this. Nano-droids could indeed prove to be a fatal instrument in the wrong hands. It's not like anybody could detect them without a scanner.
Not even the Jedi…
It was a good thing that the Separatists still haven't decided to try using a tactic like this one yet...
(There was a thump as the holograms faded, the door at the end of the hanger slowly opened, and the lights in the hanger came back. Ahsoka shook her head, frustrated.)
[Ahsoka]: Great. Now we're chasing nano-droids.
[Anakin](To Russo and Ahsoka): Russo, go through security footage. Try to see if Jackar went to other parts of the Temple. Ahsoka, let's go find out how Jackar got his hands on these nano-droids.
CUT TO: Central Security Terminal
(One of the droids greeted Master and Padawan as they walked into the small, dim, and slightly grimy old central security terminal that had been set aside for their investigation. )
[Droid](handing a datapad to Anakin): Bowmani's file, Master Jedi.
[Ahsoka](checking the datapad with her Master): He's a munitions expert.
[Anakin]: Jackar was the foreman over all of the gunships, bombs, and weapons. His specialty was nano-weaponry.
[Ahsoka]: We've got to find this guy.
"The more they investigate, the more it tends to lead to this Jackar… But… I can't help but feel that there is something missing. Would the culprit really make it so obvious and leave so many clues behind?" Obi-Wan ponders, stroking his beard.
(Ahsoka pointed out as the pair walked over to where Russo was watching sped-up footage from security cameras, on various screens. )
[Anakin](To Russo): Isn't that going a little too fast for you to make sense out of it?
[Russo]: It is simple data. At this pace, I am able to view hundreds of hours of footage.
[Anakin]: Have you found Jackar?
R2 beeps as C-3PO speaks in agreement:
"Yes, R2. For us droids, viewing data like this is quite helpful. It saves a lot of time."
Ahsoka wished she could do that. Would be handy to catch up on all the shows she missed when she was running missions.
[Russo]: No.
[Anakin]: I'll gather some Jedi and search the Temple. If he's still here, he might be planning another attack.
[Russo]: Instead of Jedi, I have droids that can do the job much faster.
Ahsoka giggled quietly as Anakin rolled his eyes. Her Master nodded though. It rankled him that Russo was right, but the forensics droid was right.
(Anakin and Ahsoka leave while Russo stays behind, instructing his smaller droids.)
CUT TO: Jedi Council Chamber
[Windu](To Anakin and Ahsoka): So you've found nothing so far?
(Seats that had been filled were empty, only holos there to represent the members who had been forced to leave. Obi-wan and Shaak Ti being the case.)
[Ahsoka]: We have a clue we're following.
[Anakin]: But we still don't have answers.
The all too familiar heavy silence fell over the Council members.
Mace sighed and leaned back in his seat.
[Windu]: It is imperative that the truth be found soon. There are whispers the Senate will have a meeting to decide whether the military police will need to become involved in the investigation.
The Jedi look at the two Senators, receiving nods from Padme and Organa. The public would want the Senate(Palpatine) to do something.
[Ahsoka]: They can't do that.
[Windu]: Clones died in that explosion, maintenance Clones working on the gunships as well as civilians. The Senate tends to take notice of these things no matter where they happen.
"He's right. While I understand that the bombing happened inside the Jedi Temple, people wouldn't rest until the Senate performs an official investigation. Especially the victims' families." Bail says, crossing his arms.
When something like this happens and Clones are lost, the Senate does tend to take notice. And it doesn't matter where it happens.
'But it's not due to their lives. But because of the credits spent on these men.' Rex shakes his head in exasperation.
*Beep-beep!*
(Anakin frowned and lifted his wrist up, pressing his com button.)
[Russo](From the com): Master Skywalker, we have found Jackar.
[Anakin]: Lock down all exits so he can't escape.
"Finally, some good news perhaps?" Ki-Adi hopes.
(Anakin and Ahsoka excuse themselves from the Council Chamber, proceeding to meet Russo, while the Jedi Masters exchange looks of apprehension.)
CUT TO: Jedi Temple - Morgue
(Russo's location was one of the small medbays the Temple had that had been pressed into a morgue. This has the Knight and Padawan duo confused as they scanned the cots, some of which were topped with coffins.)
"The morgue?" Ahsoka looks confused. Did Jackar hid there or was he…
[Anakin](To Russo): Where is he?
[Russo]: Well, part of him is here.
(Russo waved to one of the beds and Anakin growled.)
"Part?" Anakin ponders.
That could only mean that…
[Anakin]: I don't think now is a good time to joke.
(Russo responded when they reached the bed he had waved to. Upon it lay a single green hand.)
[Russo]: This is all that remains of Jackar.
[Anakin]: His hand?
[Russo]: The rest of him exploded.
[Ahsoka]: Because he was so close to the bomb?
[Russo]: Because he was the bomb.
(He lowered his visor then picked up a handheld scanner. Russo gave Ahsoka the datapad attached to the scanner while he held it over the gree hand.)
"That explains the lack of residue... But to explode himself..." Rex trailed off. He could only imagine bomber droids. And not people doing that voluntarily.
[Anakin]: What's this?
[Russo]: The connection we were looking for to the explosion in the hangar.
(The droid switched on the scanner and blue beams slowly rotated over the limb.)
[Ahsoka](looking at the datapad): The nano-droids. How did they get in his bloodstream?
"Did he ingest the nano-droids?" Stass Allie wonders.
"Or someone set up for him." Coleman Kcaj theorizes.
"This is suspicious indeed..." Oppo Rancisis states, looking warily at the screen.
[Anakin](huffed): Oh, this just keeps getting better and better. We're going to have to search Jackar's home for evidence.
CUT TO: Coruscant - Under City
(Anakin and Ahsoka reach Jackar Bowmani's apartment, which was located in the under city. It was down enough that the sunlight barely filtered through, but not low enough that crime controlled it. The outside of the apartment building had been covered with graffiti. Inside the halls were dirty and trash covered the floor.)
[Anakin](musing as they reached Jackar's apartment): This is not the nicest place.
[Ahsoka]: I would've thought working for the Jedi paid better.
"They do which makes me wonder if he stayed here by choice..." Shaak Ti affirms.
By choice because leaving in the under city meant that he could fly under the radar if he had other motives for getting a job with the Jedi.
(Anakin knocked again, but no one answered the door. The Knight reached out with the Force, slipping into the lock by the door, and fiddling with the wires until the door unlocked and opened. Ahsoka followed her Master inside the dark apartment. The only light coming from the hallway. )
[Anakin](Looking around): Letta? Are you here? (To Ahsoka) You search for the droids, but be careful, and remember, he was a munitions expert. I'd rather not set off another explosion today. I'll see if he left a note.
At this, some in the audience grimace at the number of times they barely escaped/survived an explosion on the battlefield. Anakin being the one with most cases. Could the nano-droids be accidentally activated in the house? The audience hopes not.
(The apartment itself was clear. Nothing seemed out of place.
Ahsoka held up the scanner, moving it from right to left as she slowly began to make her way through the apartment. She frowned at the pad and made her way to the back hallway where no light from the hallway shined. She reached over to hit the light switch then huffed when all it did was beep, but there was no light.)
'Lucky I'm a hunter.' Ahsoka mused to herself. She didn't have perfect vision in the dark, but it was still better than other species.
(Anakin kept a close watch on Ahsoka through their Bond. He trusted her, but he didn't trust what might be at the apartment. He shifted, standing, and moving to the view-screen. Anakin ran his fingers along the edges and back. Nothing. So he began to inspect the painting hanging behind the screen.)
Something was off...
Ahsoka frowned as her future self turned down a corner in the hallway. The light overhead flickered on as future Ahsoka followed her feeling of unease.
(Anakin sighed and rubbed the back of his head. That's when he saw the pile of datapads on a small table. Maybe they would have something.)
[Ahsoka]: Letta?
(Ahsoka called out as she stepped into the room which turned out to be a small kitchen. Her unease grew as she stepped further and further into the room.
Something under the datapads had begun to beep and flash red. Anakin frowned as he shifted the datapads. It was some sort of image caster. As soon as Anakin picked up the datapad on top of it as a holo popped up.
Bright red and white: A Clone trooper helmet with a blood red-line slashed through it.)
A symbol for those who were anti-war and anti-Jedi.
The others looked at Rex in sympathy. Most people tend to forget that the Clones are the ones mainly risking their lives on the battlefield, dying to protect the Republic.
The Clones aren't allowed to protest, and if they were to try, they'd be immediately silenced or court-marshaled. Even though the punishment isn't justifiable, by Senator or moral law.
They can't even defend themselves, legally or physically. They aren't allowed to, nor does anyone care enough to help. Rex pinches the bridge of his nose. He'd never realized how lucky he is to be serving under General Skywalker. Things could have been so much worse.
[Ahsoka](eyes widened as she held the scanner out towards the disposal): Master!
(At Ahsoka's shout, Anakin dropped the datapad he had been reading and ran as fast as he could to the back of the apartment. Ahsoka was in the kitchen, standing in front of the disposal.)
[Ahsoka]: The sensors are picking up traces from the disposal. The nano-droids were in the food.
(The Togruta told him as she turned to face him and held up the datapad so he could see the screen. It was covered with readings of nano-droids.)
[Anakin]: Well, I guess the question now is, did he eat them willingly, or did someone feed them to him?
The audience thought back to the anti-war holo in the living room.
"Could it be..." Ahsoka trailed off.
[Letta]: Wh-what are you doing here?
(Master and Padawan turned to the doorway. Letta stood there, looking at the pair of them. But at the same time, she felt nervous.)
[Anakin]: We've learned Jackar was involved in the bombing.
[Letta]: That can't be true.
[Anakin]: See if she has any nano-droids on her, Ahsoka.
(The woman took a small step back, her arms raised as though the Togruta was going to attack her instead of running the scanner over her body.)
[Letta]: Nanodroids?
[Ahsoka]: She's clean.
[Letta]: What do you mean, "nano-droids"?
[Ahsoka]: We believe someone set Jackar up and made him the bomb.
[Letta]: I... I don't understand.
Ahsoka could feel Letta becoming tenser the minute she mentioned Jackar had been set up. That she was really hiding something other than her dislike of the Jedi. The Padawan glanced over at Anakin, who had been watching Letta with narrowed eyes.
"She's definitely hiding something..." Padme points out, a good thing her instincts don't fail in moments like this.
[Anakin]: Letta, I want to bring you in for more questioning. Maybe you can help us make sense out of all of this.
[Letta]: I'll answer any question I can.
CUT TO: Outside of Letta and Jackar's apartment
(The walkways were busy now as beings made their way home, to a bar, or to work. Letta's nails dug into her skin as she was escorted by the Jedi.
This wasn't how it was supposed to go. She wasn't supposed to get caught. If Letta went with the Jedi, it would be all over and she could kiss her life goodbye.
As she hit the last step, Letta reached out and grabbed a passing Khramboan by his shoulders. With a grunt, she turned and shoved him as hard as she could into the Padawan. Ahsoka hit the ground, skinning her hands and knees as Letta took off.)
[Anakin]: Letta, stop. Letta!
(A Bith riding in a trolley that traveled through the levels pointed. Letta had grabbed onto the side of a trolley that was heading towards the upper levels. The woman had pulled herself up onto the roof.)
"She might have caught Anakin and Ahsoka by surprise, but she won't be able to go too far." Obi-Wan affirms as the others agree.
A bounty hunter like Cad Bane or a trained soldier could, but not a civilian.
[Anakin]: Letta!
[Anakin](To Ahsoka): Take the high road.
[Ahsoka]: Right, Master.
(Ahsoka wrapped the Force around her and ran as fast as she could as Anakin took off down a side path. Then she jumped high into the air, landing on top of an advertisement before jumping again onto a light. Taking a deep breath, Ahsoka launched herself into the air again.
If Letta had been someone unfamiliar with Jedi, she would have let herself relax. Content and secure in the knowledge that she had lost them. But Jackar's obsession, his near worship of the Jedi meant that Letta knew more about the so-called Peace Keepers than most. So she knew that they hadn't given up and while she couldn't see them, they were still there.
Ahsoka ran along an elevated walkway. She brushed past pedestrians who were ready to shout until they saw the lightsabers bouncing against her hips. Then they let out huffs of annoyance and continued on. The only real protest Ahsoka got was from a very upset astromech who wasn't at all happy when Ahsoka had leaped over him at full speed.
Letta could see the Knight. Still chasing after her from the ground. Jedi were good, but they could still be tricked. She leaped from the trolley to another going in a different direction and smiled to herself. The Padawan had vanished, but Letta wasn't overly worried about her.
When the trolley got close to the ground near an alley, Letta jumped down. It was dark and dingy, but she knew she would be fine. It looked like she had lost the Jedi which meant she would be able to get to safety with one of her friends.)
[Ahsoka]: Letta, stop!
(The woman stumbled back as she looked up to see the Togruta crouched down on top of a storage unit. Ahsoka watched as she began to slowly back up...
Only to bump into Anakin who had come up behind her. His arms were crossed and he was staring at her with rock-hard eyes. Letta thought she could see something flashing in his eyes.)
[Letta]: Let me go!
[Ahsoka]: Running means you know more than you're telling us.
(Ahsoka pointed out as she jumped down from the unit and walked towards Letta.)
[Letta]: Jackar is dead, and now you're trying to blame his murder on me.
[Anakin]: Nobody ever said he was dead.
"Ah… The final nail on the coffin." Ahsoka says as Letta dug her grave even deeper.
(Letta stepped back, fear rushing over her.)
[Ahsoka]: But running proves you had something to do with the bomb.
[Letta]: You don't know what you're talking about.
[Ahsoka]: People blamed Jedi because of you. People were killed because of you!
(Ahsoka growled at the woman and jabbed her finger in Letta's face.)
Nobody was sympathetic with what this woman did. Jedi, Clones and civilians alike all died in order to stop the war! How could the bombing make things any better!?
[Letta]: You can't prove anything!
(Letta reached out and grabbed Ahsoka's wrist, squeezing it as hard as she could, twisting it before throwing it to the side.)
[Anakin](To Letta): Did you feed the nano-droids to Jackar? You will answer me. Now!
"Anakin..." Padme looked at her husband with a soft expression, worrying whenever he lets part of his emotions get the best of him.
Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Rex all looked equally concerned.
Windu and some of the other Jedi Masters shook their heads in exasperation, pondering what Skywalker could do to control his anger.
The young man himself just sighed in exasperation, knowing well that this was far from being the last scene the others would see of this side of him.
(Anakin's voice echoed off the buildings and in the Force.
Letta sighed. She had lost. There was no point. Not even her weak attack had been enough to shift the Jedi's focus so she could get away.)
[Letta]: I did feed the nano-droids to Jackar.
[Ahsoka](in disbelief): You set up your own husband to die?
(Letta turned to the teen, glaring at her.)
[Letta]: You're dealing with things you don't understand.
Of course they don't understand. What would motivate a woman to use her own husband as a bomb to kill several beings. It was one thing if she targeted Jedi, but Letta went too far.
'Should we do something with Jackar and Letta once we return? If so, what?' Ahsoka wonders. The Temple Worker apparently didn't have any blame for this, only his wife.
[Ahsoka]: Oh, where you're going, you'll have plenty of time to explain everything.
CUT TO: Jedi Temple - Halls
(Anakin, Ahsoka, Windu and Yoda are seen walking together through the Temple's halls.)
[Anakin](To Yoda and Windu): We're holding Letta in the cell below the temple to await further questioning.
(A hologram of Russo appears in Ahsoka's hand.)
[Russo]: I am pleased to report there were no other nano-droids found in the sweep of the Temple. I am also pleased to report, based on the security footage, Jackar Bowmani acted alone, which means no Jedi was involved.
[Ahsoka]: Thanks, Russo. Good job.
(Russo's figure disappears.)
The Jedi looked in relief. Case closed, now they should just wait to see what exactly Letta's motivations were.
[Windu](To Anakin and Ahsoka): Did this woman say what her reasons were for attacking us?
[Ahsoka]: Not yet, but we're working on that.
[Windu]: I think we can guess her motives easily enough. Public opinion is swaying against the Jedi. That is becoming clear. This war is becoming less and less popular every day it persists.
"But at least we know that Palpatine and Dooku are behind the scenes, definitely prolonging the war. If we manage to expose their connection..." Padme offers as the others wonder how to deal with the Sith Order.
(The four Jedi exchanged bows before Windu and Yoda walk away from Knight and Padawan.)
[Ahsoka]: Master, I'm relieved we solved this case, but...
[Anakin]: What if it had been a Jedi?
[Ahsoka]: Yes. I don't know how I would have felt if a Jedi was really behind this.
"At least that wasn't the case this time." Windu says firmly.
[Anakin]: There are going to be Jedi who disappoint us, Ahsoka. But as long as we know there are good Jedi who fight for what's right, it makes it all worthwhile.
(The episode ends with a final scene showing Anakin and Ahsoka walking together in the hall, with other Jedi soon appearing into view.)
Anakin actually looks down at this, feeling like a hypocrite given what the future has in store for him. But with that said, he did vow to make things better and change what he could to save the galaxy and those he cares about. Even if he has to leave the Jedi Order.
"..." Looking at the Jedi Knight, Ahsoka just smiled in accordance, vowing to aid her Master with whatever she could.

The video ends after that, with the movie screen turning black...
'This episode seemed to have ended just fine. What could have lead to Ahsoka leaving the Jedi Order?' Anakin ponders, crossing his arms.
During the video, he could not find a single hint to his Padawan cutting ties with him. What was missing? Was there nothing relevant in this episode!?
He turns to Ahsoka and was about to ask her opinion on the matter until he noticed the Togruta deep in her thoughts.
"Ahsoka? Something wrong?" The Jedi Knight inquiries.
"Something about the video has been troubling me. I think the title Sabotage meant the bombing. But the message..." She trailed off.
Message? What message?
"Ah… You mean 'Sometimes even the smallest doubt can shake the greatest belief.' " Obi-Wan says, remembering about it.
"Doubt. Belief. Now that you mention it… I can't help but feel that it's somehow connected to the Jedi Order specifically. But not exactly how." Kit Fisto wonders.
Everybody remembers that the biggest issues shown in the episode were the anti-war protests and the idea of traitor Jedi, both connected with the Temple bombing…
What are they about to find out next?

Author Notes:
And this ends Chapter 15 of this React Fanfic
It's been a while since I last uploaded a chapter in this story, I guess. The only thing I can say is that I was busy with some personal stuff, while also checking/working on some of my other stories.
I decided to not increase the current summoned audience. The group will stay as it is until the end. This fanfic could perhaps become a mess if I add way too many characters to watch and react to Star Wars content.
Once I finish the Wrong Jedi Arc, I plan to make a react of perhaps two YouTube videos before I proceed to the Revenge of the Sith movie.
And once again, I will take a break from this story and work on some of my other fanfics before I uploaded the next chapter. Not sure when that's going to happen.
Now onto the Reviews:
tgranger2004: After watching everything that Veritas wants to show them, I think Anakin will start pondering about what being a Grey Jedi means.
No, I won't use that video. The group already knows a lot about Ahsoka. I don't see the point of making a react about a video mainly focused on her.
RyanSquad: I see. And again, I'm still pondering whether I should or not add more Clones later to join the react group. Maybe I will make a poll about this later and let the rest of the readers decide alongside you.
Last Primaris: Thanks! Yeah, I will show the Clone Wars' episode of how Ahsoka gets framed before she leaves the Jedi Order.
MalirBly: Thanks!
cybresamurai: Don't worry, they will react and understand what happens when I start making react chapters for the Return of the Jedi movie.
Agent N: Thanks! Yes, the summoned audience is finally going to learn why Ahsoka left the Jedi Order.
Not sure about the Kenobi video. I will first have to watch before I consider using it or not.
And may the Force be with you as well.
TegamiBachi25: Sure, I will think about it.
When I start making react chapters for A New Hope movie, I could certainly include some flashbacks at the part when Ben Kenobi is talking to Luke about Anakin and ends reminiscing about their past together.
Multiple-Fandom-Writer: Thanks! Again, I'm still unsure of adding more Clones to join the summoned group.
dark knight discord: Gracias.
AxolDragon: Definitely! The Jedi Council is about to receive a hard dose of reality check very soon once the Wrong Jedi Arc is done.
Ok, but now I'm considering eventually stop using the Clone Wars' episodes once the group learns why Ahsoka left the Jedi Order.
The next thing I want to cover is a react about the Revenge of the Sith movie.
I also plan to later cover some episodes of Star Wars Rebels, the Rogue One stand-alone movie and then head towards the Original Trilogy. After that, I will fill some holes in regards to the plot using Legends/Expanded Universe content.
marty munster: I will think about this after checking these videos.
STARWARZMYLIFE: Thanks!
korrd: Thanks!
Ok, I will certainly show the audience how Expanded Universe(EU)/Legends Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order works and differs from the one of the Old Republic. I will have to also first check information about Vergere before I decide to use her or not.
Well, I do plan to later show some episodes of Star Wars Rebels featuring Thrawn, but not sure of using (EU)/Legends content about him because I'm can't see this being relevant to the summoned audience. The same about the X-Wing series.
And yeah, I'm also gonna tell the group about Luke and Mara marrying, with this bringing mixed reactions to the Jedi Council while Anakin and Padme will definitely be pleased with the idea of Jedi being allowed to marry.
Alright, I will check this fanfic you mentioned later when I have some free time.
For now, I don't plan to make use of parody videos.
Thefallenjedi66: Thanks!
I have to agree with you that showing the clips of The Old Republic to the summoned audience sounds awesome, but you first need to give me a reason about how doing this somehow contributes to the group learning something important. You still haven't answered what I told you in the previous chapter.
Guest(1): Here it is!
LuciTheFangirl: Thanks!
kalani. gapido: Thanks!
Yeah, perhaps. As always, I will try to update another chapter as soon as I can.
I have never watched The Mandalorian until now due to not having the time to do so. So I can't be of much help to discuss it with you. And I don't care about people giving me spoilers, I barely paid attention. I still have no idea what this show's main plot is about.
Yeah, DogsAreTheBest312's is my main inspiration for writing this story. It's a shame her story is gone.
I'm only interested in making a react fanfic about Star Wars.
I'm not honestly interested in creating an AU fanfic about what would happen when the summoned group returns to their reality to fix things. If anyone is up for the challenge, I would let them create a story pertaining to what happens after the group reacted to everything they needed to know.
At the very least, I would just give an epilogue about how everyone might be living happier with Palpatine gone and with the Galactic Empire never coming to exist.
LordRevan117: I will think about it once I watch these videos. Maybe I will use them later. Or not.
Guest(2): Maybe I will later.
Alfa123: Sure, of course!
Child of stars: You will have to be more specific about which one you're talking about.
Cybermax2099: Thanks! I will think about it.
Guest(3): I will check this video later before I decide what to do.
Mikazuki Augus1: I will think about it.
The Coffee Daddy: Thanks! And I understand your point of view.
I personally think that The Clone Wars cartoon should have made General Grievous more menacing, just like his 2003 counterpart.
Honestly, the fact that Grievous nearly always had to fight main characters(*Cough!* Plot armor *Cough!*) meant that he was destined to never win, and would always have to scurry away at the end. If he'd fought some less important Jedi, we'd have actually got to see him be the great Jedi killer that he is.
Star: Sure! Here's the first part!
Destiny: Maybe. I will think about it.
Datshitgood: Maybe. I will think about it.
FallenPrime1337: Alright, maybe I could use this video. But I'm also checking other videos that talk about Anakin's issues within the Jedi Order, so I won't guarantee anything to you for now.
Larmsicle: Thanks!
Kitty: Thanks. Maybe. I will think about it.
Guest(4): Maybe. I will think about it.
lm Bionic: Maybe I will later. I need to think about it.
Guests (5) & (6): Are you the same person? I will think about maybe using Maul's video later.
Kylo Ren: I won't do Fives' episodes from Clone Wars Season 6 because I have pretty much given, in a nutshell, what happened with him and how he died. Please, use English or Brazilian Portuguese. I won't answer if you type in French again next time.
springpanther: You raise a valid point, but I'm already strengthing Anakin and Obi-Wan's bond during this react fanfic. Anakin is aware of how much Obi-Wan does care for him now. I'm even going to show Revenge of the Sith eventually so the two can have an even better understanding of each other.
Mr. NInja21: A fellow fan of The Lore Master's videos, huh? I see. Yeah, maybe I will use one of his videos later.
random123games: Thanks! And yes, I explained that I will use the Legends/Expanded Universe as the true timeline route rather than the Sequel Trilogy path.
Oh, definitely. I'm going to use a video that shows how EU/Legends Luke Skywalker became a powerful Jedi Master.
Guest 38: Thanks! Maybe. I will think about it.
LitEnough: I don't know. I think I already used too many videos focused on Ahsoka. I think I will make a react to Revenge of the Sith after the Wrong Jedi arc.
roting-CORPSE: What?
Grima0912: Maybe. I will think about it.
Cman6465: You made a valid point. I will think about it.
Heart of the: Thanks. I will try to update whenever I can. But I also need to do other stuff related to my personal life, this thus making me busy and unable to work in this fanfic. And sometimes I just want to rest.
Guest(7): Not interested in using parody videos for now.
wearedeadpool: Of course, I'm going to use the episodes of Star Wars Rebels that you mentioned.
I will think about using the YouTube videos that you suggested. Maybe I will. Maybe I won't.
Zero: I already explained that I won't take the Sequel Trilogy path, rest assured. I'm going to show how Luke creates his New (Expanded Universe/Legends) Jedi Order and perhaps even talk about the events of Dark Empire(Where Luke faces a resurrected Palpatine) and the Yuuzhan Vong War.
I will think about it. I need to check this video first.
Sallexander02: Thanks. Maybe. I will think about it.
Padawan rose: Thanks! I will try to update another chapter as soon as I can.
Svenion: Have you really read the first chapter story? Of course Anakin would be confused if he discovers that he becomes a Sith Lord in the future. After all, what he and the others watched weren't the movies, but only brief sneak peeks about their lives and the future. It never explained how the Chosen One turned to the Dark Side of The Force.
As you keep reading the next chapters of the story, everybody begins to put the pieces together and finally learns that Anakin became a Sith Lord in order to prevent Padme's death.
So, what do you guys think? Please give me some reviews if possible.
If you are interested, please go check my other stories as well.
Also, thanks to everybody that followed, favorited the story and gave reviews.
See You Next Time
And may the Force be with you. Always.
