What if the jedi were actually intelligent enough to realize that finding a convenient clone army just when they need one isn't a coincidence. And then decide NOT to bring them into the Republic ?

What if Commander Fox helped Fives fake his death?

This is probably the happiest ending of the Clone Wars I've ever wanted😊

Hello there Dave Filoni created this arc just to cause pain in our hearts. To know how close Fives was to uncover the plot, but knowing full well how bad it would end. Good what if.

What if the jedi grew suspicious of Obi-Wan because he " discovered " both the clone army AND the Geonosian Droid army ? After all , Obi-Wan was Qui-Gon's apprentice and Qui-Gon was the apprentice of the leader of the confederacy .

Anakin was kind and was loyal to the clones throughout the entire clone wars, he even stood by them when he killed the Jedi in the temple. I can absolutely see this happening and him protecting fives and listening to him. Anakin fought side by side with the 501s on countless missions and knew fives and would want to get the bottom of it

Two minor thoughts. Fives was injected with a neuro toxin that made him act iraddictally so it would’ve passed by the time he talked to the council. And if Fives was sound of mind he may have been able to work something out with Anakin to save himself from Palpatine. I could see them dressing up a dead clone and giving him to Palpatine saying he didn’t survive without his chip

I would love for Disney to make a What-If based on this. Would 100% be sick

The members of the 501st really were some of the most independent clones out there. You have to take into consideration that Fives and the other members of Domino squad were regular clones - no Null ARCs, Commanders or something else - Regs. To achieve such independence is very remarkable when you're geneticly engineered to be loyal above all

What if Obi Wan didn't follow Jango Fett, but instead decided that if the clones were ordered by the jedi, he had a duty of care to them.

What if the Kaminoains betrayed Sideous and stayed loyal to the Jedi?

Do you think Dooku knew about Order 66? He never really seemed to resent the Jedi enough to stage a genocide against them, but seemed more unhappy with the corruption within the Republic, which is why he was willing to lead the Separatists in a bid for independence. I feel like Palpatine never would have told him about Order 66.

What if Ahsoka figured out order 66 and told anakin

Palps had a direct intercom at hand which he would have activated preemptively, only reason he waited in canon was to get Anakin.

That battle would be HUGE. Whole CIS fleet vs whole Republic fleet fighting over one planet. Thousands of destroyers, cruisers and battleships in a single finale battle

What if Commander Thorn survived and joined Rex's clone rebellion?

What if Count Dooku actually went back to the light side? If you remember in episode 2, Count Dooku talks about how Qui Gon always spoke highly of Obi Wan and how he could use Qui Gon’s help “right now” showing how he feels regret taking the path he took, only for Obi Wan to shut him down with “Qui Gon would never join you.” What if Obi Wan actually listened to him and tried to help him?

What if a chancellor, Palpatine was assassinated by the separatist during attack of the clones?

You can’t possibly tell me that as soon as you watched this ark you didn’t have that slither of hope…

That moment when you realise that they could have just stunned fives instead of killing him 😂😮🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

That would make fives as the living protagonist. He wouldn’t just save his brothers, but also the Jedi members.

You know what’s interesting? Those shock troopers were still there when palpatine confirms that he is involved for the plot against the Jedi, and they acted like they didn’t hear it, I know they are loyal to palpatine but I think when hearing this it would be enough to do something

13:00 by that time the droids wouldn't need a control ship to operate.

What if Anakin lost to Obi Wan on mustafar and lost his limbs. What if Palpatine won the clone wars. What if Yoda exiled himself to dagobah after Revenge of the Sith? What if LUke and Leía were separated at birth. Cmon man I’ve been asking for these since 2005

What If Shaak Ti left the Order with Ahsoka What If Ahsoka and Barriss left the Order and joined Ventress What If Bastila Shan trained Anakin SkyWalker What If Satele Shan trained Luke SkyWalker

why would Dooku still be on Palpy's side. He played Double Agent. He switched sides to find the Sith's plans. He told Obi about the plot and that Palpy was a sith.

Day 9 of my list. What if; Anakin never gave into his feelings for Padme, Aayla Secura was the chosen one and became Darth Talon, Shme Skywalker was adopted by the Tusken Raiders, Boba Fett saved his Tusken family, Count Dooku was a regular count for the CIS, Jabba the Hutt supported the Jedi at the Start of the Clone Wars, and finally, what if Sabine and Ezra fell in love?

For how upsetting yet necessary it was to see Fives get sidelined like that when he was SO close to unravelling this age old plot, this what-if does it justice enough to heal my heart a little. God I love the Clone Wars, hasn’t changed since I was a kid watching it. Good work

"What if" The Jedi discovered that the Sith Temple under their own on Coruscant was corrupting them?

Day 30: What if General Grievous was secretly a Republic spy?

What a great story....well done!

A lot of this was fairly plausible and I liked it. Nicely done video.

videos like these make me wish there was a what if series for star wars with the clone wars style animation, really loved the deep dive dude!

What if Kit fisto, Obi-wan, Anakin, Windu, And Ashoka went to arrest palpating before order 66

Great video! I would like to see what if Jango Fett killed Mace Windu in AOTC

What if windu survived the fall and forgave and understood anakin and why he did it, then goes on to redeem Vader and lead him back to the light and try to make things right between them

What if Ahsoka got the powers of the daughter

I miss 5s so much. Out of all the stories his was the saddest of the clone wars. He was so close and then just gone. Super sad.

The Grievous, Dooku, and Sidious trio all at once has got to be a scene

And then enters Maul, Venturess, Savage, and Talon The new sith and throws the rule of 2 away for a stronger order at least thats what they think

Wow, ill have to say this is a very well thought out and put together video. Very interesting to be sure. Even though this would erase Lukes entire arch and the OT, id be down with watching a "What if" offically put together anamated or filmed version, even though thats basically what we just got. Good job, truly. Only someone that really loves Star Wars could have put this much attention to detail together. Thank you.😊

If only this happened

I mean, the Jedi Council didn't even believe one of the most respected and honorable Jedi to ever live, Qui-Gon, when he said he ran into a Sith Lord. What chance did Fives have to convince them of anything?

Inhibitor chips is such a cheap move, man xD

So, in theory this is nice, and I usually really like happy endings, but I would like to point out that the Jedi Order in its entirety was slowly drifting towards the dark side without realizing it during the republic era. I say this primarily due to their rejection of attachments, not only because it denies the concept of love, which is the most important aspect of the light, but also because of their reason for rejecting attachments, that being fear. I think if they had been given an abundance of time without being destroyed, the Jedi would have turned to the dark side in their own unique way, not becoming Sith, at least not by name, but I think their need to intertwine themselves with politics would gradually draw them into wanting more power "for the sake of peace." Ultimately the perceived need for power would drive them towards the dark side, and the fear which they were unwittingly allowing to control the order's policies regarding attachment, and the apathy that would develop towards others as a result of not allowing attachments would ultimately lead to the Jedi Order becoming just as bad if not worse than the empire. A new order of force users would have to develop in opposition to it, and it would have a far more difficult task fighting an order that controlled a unified republic with a clone army than the rebel alliance had fighting the empire. The turn would be gradual, but there would be a turning point when the Jedi would decide that it would be to dangerous for force sensitive children to be left to develop on their own, and either take them from their parents regardless of consent, or kill them if they were deemed too old and by extension, too dangerous to train. Granted, I think a new order would eventually form, something closer to what the Jedi were originally supposed to be, and light would eventually triumph over darkness, but the Jedi from the age of the galactic civil war were on the road to ruin with or without Sith interference.

Dang I should have not shot him😅😅

Ehhhh idk, I have a couple of notes: 1: I’m certain palpatine might’ve activated order 66 early since it is scorched earth and not wait for the senators and Jedi to arrive. 2: Palpatine would’ve most likely gone underground maybe taking Dooku but sacrificing Grevious and the droid army to help him escape. No way would he decide to fight at the front lines unless he was confident he’d win. 4: I really doubt the Jedi would trust the senate, viewing how much control Palpatine had by that point, they most certainly would see it as a rabbit hole and they wouldn’t know who to trust. 5: Palpatine in the prequels is always written to be 5 steps ahead, call it bullshit, call it plot armor, but palpatine losing all his plot contrivance in a series of brain farts doesn’t seem in character. Had that happened and had palpatine needed to accelerate his time tables, he certainly would do so upon realizing Order 66 was compromised. Imagine the chaos alone activating order 66 as the separatists invade, imagine the chaos as the very army protecting the republic turns on the Jedi and the senate that sided with said Jedi, the droid army descending below to further stretch the Jedi thin as they attack the surface. Surely the Jedi couldn’t survive those odds and perhaps the galaxy would become a worse place as the galactic republic is sacked, the Jedi are eradicated and scattered failing to save coruscant, the senate and the people massacred, and palpatine forced to become a warlord over ash and brimstone as the remaining separatists are placed under his thumb of rule while the galaxy falls into chaos.

one flaw i noticed, by the end of the clone wars all of the separatist battle droids were individually controlled. it was only in the beginning of the war that if a separatists control ship was destroyed all the droids would shutdown. since they changed it, when the control ship is destroyed it wouldn't affect the droids on the ground, meaning the battle would continue. possibly a better outcome would have been to use some sort of EMP to shutdown the droid army. although many other civilian and republic droids would be shut down too, they could be reset so that they return to working order.

They need to make a Star Wars "What if" with these storylines

What if general grievous and his 2 Magna guards helped count Dooku fight Anakin and obi wan on the invisible hand.

What if Tup's inhibitor chip never malfunctioned?

What if Darth Plagueis was a Jedi or palpatine fell in love with Padme when she was pregnant 😂

"Dookus old age catches up with him" 😢

What if the Red Astromech didn’t have a bad motivator?

That was one of the best What If videos i have ever seen

They offered the one thing we couldn't refuse, *money*

Please make What if Padme Amidala was a Sith Lord? Part 4

Dude this was great. Imagine if Disney was willing to do a what if show for the clone wars. This would be one episode I would kill to see.

this is exactly why we need a what if for star wars. imagine a battle of corusant that would go crazy

Fives almost accomplished this 😭

I didnt think the newer models of droids needed a command center, but were instead independent thinkers?

What if Captain Rex raised Leia and Luke

There’s got to be a long sreres of WHAT IF’s we would love love that

Now here's something that's super interesting. Imagine if the senators had to scramble to tell the clones to execute Order 65, but Palpatine managed to tell some of the clones to execute Order 66 before Order 65 could be issued. This would cause absolute pandemonium, splitting the clone army in half, or whatever fraction the senators managed to get to versus the ones Palpatine managed to get to. On top of the Separatist conflict you'd have a whole bunch of renegade Order 66 clones, forcing the Order 65 clones to make tough choices. The Order 66 clones would kill many of the Jedi, but not all of them. The Jedi would fight back. In fact, this would rapidly escalate into the Second Clone Wars. In addition, imagine if Anakin just maims Palpatine's hands, and the CLONES execute Palpatine. That would be pretty poetic in my opinion but maybe not as good.

This is very well done. Part of me wishes this was canon

Man I really miss the original story. No secret cop out chip, no hidden order, no conspiracy. Just soldiers following orders.

We need a what if series!!!!

What if full potential Anakin and full potential Luke fight

What if superman landed on planet coruscant in star war prequels

If hevy didn’t die he probably would have taken fives character arc

Ironic how Dooku's old age getting the best of him results in his death by YODA

7:07 literally the plot of the bad batch for a while

What if the Clone Wars reached earth during WW2?

Bro imagine an entire clone army thousands of them like hundreds of thousands of them being led by one man Rex himself, what a giga chad.

Very great story! I’d love a sequel to this where you go over the one lingering thread, Maul.

fives was druged by the kaminoans in that ep on the way there

Coruscant has a planetary shield that prevents enemy ingress from orbit, and the droids was made self-propelled (as in not requiring a specialized control station or ship to function) after the events in Episode I, lastly, "parts of the planet was destroyed" except the city-planet is hundreds of kilometers tall (counted from original surface to tip of the tallest buildings, as Coruscant has multiple sections beneath the "surface" including an entire city-structure beneath), so, destroying a part of even "just" a section of the surface would likely not be even plausible if as much as an entire super-stardestroyer crashed down on top.

And then, like a month later, Darth Maul invades Mandalore and they all have to deal with that

"What if" the love of Qui-Gon's life didn't die?

Droids didn’t rely on control ships after the Battle of Naboo.

This was better than the movies what the hell!! Loved it ❤

Wouldn’t Palpatine also be charged with conspiracy to commit genocide?

What if Bounty Hunter Durge had the Chosen One Midichlorian count?

"What if" Metra Surik didn't go to find Revan after defeating the Sith Triumvirate?

bro i could brush past the fact one of the pictures show a clone was shooting his blasters sideways lol

Five's: The nightmare, the endless nightmare. In all of our dreams. Jedi Council: Say no more

This would actually not happen beacause the later versions of the driod army did not nead a comand ship to function this was only in the begining

😮😮 Great story it was well done my friend.

What if maul snitched on Palpatine after his brother's death

This is what we needed all along

That was awesome!!

What if anakin was a bounty hunter

"What if" Sabine Wren discovered that she was Force-Sensitive at the same time Ezra did in the SW: Rebels series.

I'm so sad this isn't what happened :( I would've cried for the happy ending. The Jedi Council made it known to viewers that they were on the slow side and chose to be blind. Also you do a amazing job at telling a story.

Could you do a part 2 of this? Considering that maul would probably be still out there and wanting revenge

we need a star wars what if series

Brilliant absolutely brilliant mate

Can you please do What If Anakin Skywalker was King of Naboo and Padme Amidala was a slave on Tatooine aka The Chosen One What if Anakin Skywalker drank from the mystical Well of Urd giving his arm as a sacrifice

erlier i literly searched for a video like this lol (ive been a subscriber for the last 6 months)

I've tried to find out from every source what vsder thought of five telling him about palp and order 66 but can't find it anywhere
