In the cold tundra of Siberia, a dig site has been organized as a large group of Hydra agents gather around a crashed starfighter. They keep their weapons trained on the cockpit as they finish their excavating. Scanners hum as they inspect the entire ship, detecting a faint heartbeat.

The men are prepared to execute the figure and take the technology for themselves, but a figure marches through the snow and raises a metallic hand.

The frigid winds of Ilum howl through the jagged ice caverns as Anakin Skywalker presses forward. He takes a deep breath and tries to channel the Force to pull him towards the kyber crystals.

All around him, the faint sparkles of these crystals glisten just behind the ice wall. He tries to sense these crystals' vibrations and power, feeling for the one that will become his. It is a difficult task, but one necessary to forge his lightsaber.

Anakin: I was thinking about it the whole way back here. First, what happened with dooku… now we’re having a child… Padme—We’re going to leave.

Padme: Anakin, I don’t understand… what happened with dooku? And where will we go!?

Anakin: The chancellor h-he… he made me kill Dooku. I didn’t want to. It wasn’t the Jedi way. But something he said to me… it made me lose control. I think this war is making everyone lose themselves.

The Father: If you will not stay to take my place, you must see what you become.

Anakin: See what I become? What are you talking about?

Before Anakin can demand answers, the Father raises his hand. Reality fractures around them. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka cry out as brilliant light consumes everything. The three Jedi feel themselves pulled through something beyond hyperspace, beyond the Force itself. Time and space twist around them like a whirlpool.

Then silence. Cold.

Mace Windu falls through the skyline of Coruscant, in disbelief at what has just transpired, this is what his life has come to?

THUD

Mace opens his eyes, in disbelief, he’s somehow still alive. But when he looks around, he's not on the grounds of coruscant. He’s in the Jedi Temple, meditating in his lonesome as he would usually do. The panic sets in, breath heaving, he gets up and ignites his lightsaber. Sidious. Anakin. Where are they? What’s going on here?

He remembers everything.

Anakin: Don't you see, we don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor. I can overthrow him, and together you and I can rule the galaxy. Make things the way we want them to be.

To Anakin’s shock, Padme looks horrified at this and begins to back away. She moves towards the ship as a second figure emerges.

Yoda: Certain you are of that, young one?

The small Jedi readies his lightsaber.

The skies above Westeros are a blood red thanks to the arriving comet. From across the known world, people look up. From the Wall to the North to Dragonstone in the south. From Casterly Rock to the west and the Red Wastes in the east. All look up, wondering what that omen might mean.

But little do any of them know that this is more than a mere comet.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, recently returned after saving the chancellor with Anakin on the invisible hand, stands alone in the center of the chamber, surrounded by the twelve Jedi Masters. Outside the window, the Coruscant skyline flickers under the rays of a war-battered sun. Obi-Wan’s tone is measured, calm, but beneath his words lies conviction, loyalty—and hope.

Obi-wan: Masters, we've learned many things throughout the Clone Wars. Experience has been an unforgiving teacher.

Anakin Skywalker strides through the Senate rotunda, intent on finding Mace Windu. His body tense, heavy with the weight of what has just occurred, Palpatine is the Sith lord. His mind races with questions, how could he not have known? He’s known the chancellor for the majority of his life, sought his mentorship, and confided in him his deepest emotions.

Palpatine: Anakin . . . I'm appointing you to be my personal representative on the Jedi Council.

Anakin: Me? A Master? I am overwhelmed, sir, but the Council elects its own members. They will never accept this.

Palpatine: I think they will . . . they need you more than you know.

Palpatine smiles at him, a gesture meant to be reassuring, but Anakin can’t help but have his misgivings. While he should feel elated, he can’t help but feel…distrustful of this.
