If you could save a Jedi...

If you could save one Jedi from Order 66 and the Jedi Purge carried out afterwards, who would it be, and why?

You forgot the question "would you".

None. It worked out right in the end as it should have. Saving the Jedi or 'A' Jedi would have been a bandaid just as much as saving the Republic would have been. They were both doomed to die.

If I absolutely had to choose; Depa Billaba got totally screwed in that stupid shatterpoint book.

I must admit I am rather suprised by the fatalistic views of some people on the board. I mean if I was to swap the Old Republic with the Weimar Republic & the Empire with Nazi Germany I imagine answers would be different but with a cold analysis the Empire killed more people and lasted longer.

Well put; Kit Fisto would be a close second, though, just 'cuz he kicks ass. He could also theoretically hide in any large body of water, giving him a pretty major advantage in hiding from the Jedi Purge.

And really, that's all that has to be said.

Aayla. I saved you from being massacred, now suck my cock!

Post by **K. A. Pital** » 2006-04-27 10:27am

I'd go with Aayla too. Not that I pity any of those arrogant fools who died without having noticed a great Sith Lord right in the midst of them, until he has purposefully revealed himself. I'd just want to make her my slave. A couple of Ysalamiri would greatly help.

I view it more from a 'how much suffering the middle ages cause when the Roman Empire fell' type thing rather than your above position. How far back did the Dark Ages put human civilization? The slow crumbling of the Republic would have been worse than what the Empire did.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, a truly good person who in the end always did what was right no matter what.

Anakin.

Anakin was not killed/damned by external actions, it was his choice alone- saving him would mean killing him. [since he'd keep trying to "save" PAdme no matter what]

Kenobi Survived the purge. Saving him would be redundant.

Shaak Ti would be who I would save. Simply for the way She owned Greivous in Clone Wars Vol.2.

I thought Grevious owned her in that?

In the final scene yes. I was thinking earlier in around Chater 23 or 24, when Grievous corners her and Palpatine at the railway station? Grievous starts gloating and Shaak Tii ties his cloack to one of the trains whisking him away at great spead.

Would it be possible to instead help eliminate Yoda? As opposed to saving another Jedi?

RThurmont · Post by **RThurmont** » 2006-04-27 01:50pm

If the opportunity presented itself, I would attempt to rescue one of the padawans/younglings Anakin massacred in the Jedi Temple (or ideally all of them).

Failing that, I'd rescue the guy with the ice cream cone-shaped head (no idea what his name is). He always seemed like one of the cooler Jedi masters. Quite frankly, fuck Anakin, by the time of Order 66 he had been transformed into an evil monster, so ultimately I'd just let him get saved by Luke Skywalker.

Stofsk · Post by **Stofsk** » 2006-04-27 02:36pm

I would probably save that Padawan kid who was carving through the Clonetroopers and almost made it to Bail's car...

Either him or Aayla, who didn't seem bad for a Jedi and I can't say no to blue Twi'lek chicks. Unlike say Mace Windu, who could quite frankly go fuck himself.

You mean Ki-adi-Mundi?

And I think that when they mention Anakin, they're talking about him before he confronts Mace and Palpatine, which was the key point for his conversion into Vader. Considering Order 66 was implemented bare minutes after, it's not that huge a problem. While he would've struggled with the Dark Side after being prevented from going there, I doubt he would've turned Sith. And he *is* one of the most powerful Jedi out there... in Dark Lord, only a few weeks or so after being crippled on Mustafar, he defeats two Jedi handily enough.

Is it already too late to save Mace Windu? It was he who was in a position and who had the power to save the whole Republic, if he'd just thought things through better. If he could somehow be rescued from Palpatine's office, him, Yoda, and Obi-Wan together have a good chance of figuring out some way to abort the New Order, even if they don't have time to stop Order 66. Palpatine certainly couldn't take on a prepared Yoda and Windu alone.

Both Anakin and Windu were never a part of Order 66. Thus for your case...Mace is dead as the dodo.

For the Anakin fans...you do understand he was not killed under the circumstances thus sorta pointless to go "I would rescue Anakin from an act he was not directly threatened by."

That is a darn good point...not to mention that when she actually got ambushed by Grievous she had fouight off about three dozen elite staff-droids (in one of the most badass fighting scenes I have *ever* seen, animated or no) and run most of the length of that tunnel she was in to get to the Chancellor.

Then again - her death was never shown on-screen in Episode III, hence I do not consider her to have died. She did the Jedi ninja thing and escaped to an Outer Rim world and basically settled down like Obi-Wan.

Like Stofsk said, Aayla, or the kid at the temple who almost made it to safety.

Gonna be a toss-up, though. Save someone to be my slave, or save a half-trained Youngling who has no guarantees of ever being able to complete his Jedi Training.

Hmmmmm.

Yeah. Aayla.

I'm going to have to go with Ki-Adi-Mundi also.

Being on the Jedi counsel he should have also been pretty familiar with the issues involving Anakin, so he might have been better able to help Obi-Wan and Yoda with their plans.

Saving a woman from death for sex? That's really, really low. Like, lame teenage fantasy low.

Anyway, I'd show a new, littleknown Jedi who was a dumbass and got sentenced to death by the Senate. Guess what his name is.

I know. And lame. And so? What's the other purpose of Jedis that could serve my ego? There's really none. Jedis are not servile, nor are they really smart, you know, because of all this "shroud of the Dark Side" they seem to completely have lost sense of danger. Neither would saving one of them help me install my way in the galaxy which is dominated by P. after order 66. I'd better side with Palpatine, because he is currently a rising power, and save one Jedi for sex than save one Jedi out of altruism, which helps me exactly in no way.

Neither saving a single Jedi, except perhaps Windu at the office (but that's off OP) would turn the course of events.

Thus - my choice still stands. I ally with Palpatine and get a sex-slave Jedi.
