Anakin Skywalker
Is there another way to end the Star Wars saga? I have my own theory. But before we go further, let’s talk about how Anakin Skywalker should have been killed in Episode 3. In this film, a young Jedi named Anakin saves the Chancellor from a kidnapping attempt. Then, he kills a rebel leader and becomes the youngest member of the Jedi Council. The plot twists in the third episode are all the better for it.
In the novel, Anakin is not killed. The Empire is still after him, but he is still alive on Mustafar. And in Star Wars Episode 3, he is still alive, thanks to his suit. After this, Palpatine is hunting down the Jedi Order. Obi-Wan rescues Anakin and brings his former apprentice back to Naboo, where his body is returned. Meanwhile, Luke and Leia are taken to the planet Tatooine by Bail Organa. Obi-Wan then tells them to continue training, and they are happy to do so.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan Kenobi should have been the final Jedi in the original trilogy. But he was pushed too far to the side in favor of Anakin and Luke. We’ve already seen his plight, and the underlying motivation behind his behavior is still unclear. But he’s certainly the most likable character from the entire Star Wars franchise. If we’re going to judge the films by the characters they portray, then Obi-Wan should have ended the series on a high note.
The upcoming “Obi-Wan Kenobi” Disney+ series contains some interesting events. In addition to addressing some of the dangling plot threads of the previous movies, the new episodes of the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series offer us a different perspective on the greatest rivalry in Star Wars. For instance, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul face off in Star Wars: Visionaries.
General Grievous
The end of the Star Wars Episode III series should have had a very different ending if General Grievous had lived. As the leader of the Separatists, he would have had the upper hand if the film had been a trilogy. But unfortunately, his plans didn’t work out that way. As the leader of the Separatists, he has an advantage in military and political matters. Nevertheless, he does not have the same advantage as a Jedi Master.
While Obi-Wan’s fight with General Grievous didn’t turn the plot around, it did demonstrate the bond and trust between the Jedi and the Clone Troopers. It also made Forced Betrayal of the Jedi all the more poignant. Moreover, if the arc of the movie had ended with General Grievous gaining his power, it wouldn’t have been as tragic as it is in the movie.
Chancellor Palpatine
Chancellor Palpatine should have ended Star Wars Episode 3 with the Jedi being executed. It’s obvious that Palpatine had a plan to kill the Senate and then be executed himself, but it’s still a question of whether he was able to pull it off. And even if he did, he failed miserably. There are a number of reasons for this, but the main one is his own ego.
As Anakin Skywalker, he is convinced that the Jedi can be used for good and the Sith are only out to make money. However, his wife, Padme Amidala, is pregnant, and this makes Anakin lose his mind and become obsessed with dreams of his wife dying in childbirth. As a result, he is assigned to spy on Palpatine by the Jedi Order. He is angry with Palpatine for helping him become a Sith, and with his twisted idea of “saving” Padme Amidala, Anakin is not sure if he should trust the Jedi Council anymore.
