For now, you would watch from above

This branch makes use of game mode, so I would suggest turning it on if it is not [already.

As you pondered your next actions, you quickly realized that, in fact, sweeping down upon the Republic and Confederacy alike would perhaps not be the wisest move. After all, then you'd either have to use your godly power to simply make the planets you conquer accept you, or you'd simply be a pure tyrant, and at that point, you might as well have just put yourself in charge of the Empire.

No, perhaps a better move would be to slowly build up your fleet, adjusting the sequence of events that you knew would happen throughout the Clone Wars, and then strike soon after the Empire is established, overthrowing it and liberating the galaxy– so that it can be free under your benevolent hand. As you think it, you attempt a cackle, and then, realizing that your cackle sounds kind of pathetic, you instead let it emanate from all around you, echoing throughout the Star Forge. Yeah, that sounds a lot better.

Quickly, you cast your mind throughout the galaxy, letting your consciousness follow wherever Episode II takes you. You'd chosen to set yourself right at the beginning of it, so at the moment it seemed like the **** attempt on Padmé was ongoing, since some of Episode II had already happened during your work at Rakkata Prime. With a simple flex of your will, you make it so that Anakin Skywalker was a woman, and had always been. Then, you pulled a nearby asteroid to you, and, with another flex of will, engrave into it the following words.

Until after Order 66 goes off, none of my actions or changes to reality will cause butterfly effects that would derail how things would go per canon, beyond what I'm directly attempting to do.

Also, two women can have babies together via lesbian sex, and this has always been true in this universe.

You weren't sure if the former obviated the latter, but since you weren't sure how Padmé would be pregnant otherwise, you elected to add the second rule as well. Then, with another flex of will, you sent the asteroid back into space, where no one would find it– and you additionally reinforced it so that nothing could so much as chip it.

Then, you hesitated. Was it worth saving Shmi Skywalker, you wondered? Probably not, given that you were hoping for Anakin to still be laid low, albeit for you to pick up and groom as opposed to Sidious. And she wasn't worth either revealing yourself to Anakin early to explain where she went, or being resented for hiding her mother. You shook your head. No, you could just revive her later if need be.

Now, who else was there? Ahsoka was too young at the moment, Aayla Secura was best left alone for now, same with Shaak Ti and most of the other members of the Jedi. Who else was there?
