What if Ahsoka Used the World Between Worlds to SAVE Anakin? Let's explore the depths of this scenario in the video.

Ahsoka stares at the portrait of the Mortis gods. The portal looks exactly like Ezra described it. Somehow, she has found a second portal, perhaps the only one left in the galaxy after Ezra destroyed the one on Lothal.

Her first instinct is to destroy it. So long as this portal remains, it will be a threat, as Palpatine will use it to secure his rule over the galaxy. But at the same time, she thinks about the possibilities, especially as she thinks of her former master.

Before she realizes it, Ahsoka begins tapping on its surface and watches the hands move to activate the portal. She leaps into the portal and stands on a shadowy bridgeway atop a void.

The bridge branches off in dozens of directions with hundreds of portals. As she takes in everything around her, Ahsoka wanders through the world between worlds.

While walking, she hears the voices of her past talking to her, calling to her. The loudest are Rex, Obi-Wan, Plo Koon, and Anakin. She sees them too as each of the portals shows glimpses in her life, from Master Plo finding her all the way up to her fateful duel with Anakin.

Although she tries to keep her composure, Ahsoka is in awe of what she sees and begins feeling the powers of this place calling to her. Voices become louder and more frantic, the most emphatic of them being Anakin himself. Her former master calls to her, shouting for help.

She tries desperately to shake those thoughts from her head.

Ahsoka: No, you're not real. I-I need to get out of here.

Ahsoka turns and prepares to leave, but the images begin to shift. From her own memories, she begins to see Anakin's past. She watches Anakin's entire life unfold before her eyes and, to her horror, sees the darkness in him grow as Palpatine continues to claw his way into his heart.

Eventually, she watches as Anakin prepares to follow Mace, who leads a strike force to confront the Chancellor. Ahsoka knows this moment and senses the power in the Force hinging on this moment. It's like a scale sliding back and forth, screaming for balance. The sound bangs in her head, and without thinking, Ahsoka reaches out and grabs her master, pulling him into the portal before he reaches Palpatine's office.

Anakin stumbles across the ground and looks around. But his eyes narrow at Ahsoka when she begins getting up.

Anakin: Ahsoka, what are you doing. You should be on Mandalore.

Ahsoka: Its a long story, but I'll explain everything. What matters is you can't help Palpatine.

Ahsoka explains where they are and how she brought him here. Anakin's eyes widen and feels a shiver down his spine.

Anakin: So being able to change time, prevent death... It's all possible. Without Palpatine...

His voice trails off as he recalls what he was about to do. Suddenly, he grabs Ahsoka by her shoulders and shakes her.

Anakin: I don't need Palpatine now. I can overthrow him and stop him from taking control of the Republic.

His eyes light up excitedly at the prospects. He can save Padmé, maybe even save his mother. Ahsoka sees this look and frowns, she's about to tell him about the dangers of this place when suddenly cackling echoes across the darkness.

Palpatine: Anakin! My boy, I must say you look much better than you have in years.

Anakin: You!

A portal in front of them opens and reveals the withered form of Emperor Palpatine. He stands over a cauldron of blue fire, watching the pair from underneath his hood. A smile curves onto his face.

Palpatine: Me. I've searched many years for this place and all it took was one foolish Jedi. For that service, I will let you go. Simply step aside and no harm will come upon you.

Anakin: Like that will happen.

Anakin draws his lightsaber and smiles. He was planning to stop the chancellor anyway, once he got the knowledge to save Padmé. Now that he knows about the World Between Worlds, Anakin doesn't need him anymore.

Ahsoka seems less certain and looks back at the portal she came from. She realizes that she should have destroyed the portal when she had the chance. But there's no time for that now as Palpatine channels a bolt of lightning from his cauldron.

Anakin blocks this first attack and advances forward. However, the Emperor follows up with more aattacks. Lightning rains on Anakin, halting his advance. Once he slows down, Palpatine begins to channel the blue flame forward, letting it creep up towards Anakin.

With the lightning keeping him occupied, the fires begin to close around him. Suddenly, Ahsoka leaps in between them and uses the Force to shove the flames back. Some of it singes her arms, but she ignores the pain and finishes extinguishing the fire. This buys them a moment of respite for Ahsoka to grab her master by the arm and run off.

As they run, something grabs their legs. They see shadowy hands reaching out and trying to pull them off the edge. One manages to grab Ahsoka
