AU where order 66 happens, but Anakin doesn't fully commit to being Vader. When Palps is like 'hey go murder all the children in the Jedi temple," Anakin takes a second and thinks and is like "Yknow what, maybe that's going a little too far" and nopes out of there. He heads over to Padme and is like "look so I may have done something really bad and been involved in Master Windu's death and I know who the Sith lord is and I nearly joined him but look, we gotta go" and Padme's like "excuse me?" and Anakin's like "yell at me later, Sidious knows about you and I know he's gonna come after me and he may use you to do that let's go" and they yeet off later. (Anakin is extremely unstable cos he just helped to kill Windu, plus he probably thinks his last chance to save Padme is gone)

Meanwhile, Obi Wan's playing hide and seek with Cody on Utapau, and Ahsoka and Rex are making a mess on their way back from Mandalore. Obi Wan and Yoda make it back to Coruscant, see what happened at the Jedi temple, Obi Wan sends his message, but there's no Anakin to go after so I guess they go after Palps together? Anyway, all three survive, (tho Yoda might die idk) and Obi Wan yeets off to hide.

Ahsoka and Rex, fresh off order 66 start trying to find Anakin and Obi Wan and any survivors. Somehow, they all manage to meet up, Anakin is somewhat settled by the fact that his closest family are all alive and the twins are born not long after, safely and happily.

The five of them plus the babies then proceed to goof off around the galaxy, causing shenanagins and kidnapping clones to remove their chips (Cody is first, Rex insists on it) Sheev, who Did Not see this coming is frantically trying to hunt them down but they're too sneaky and keep avoiding him, all the while building a rebellion of Jedi who survived and rescued clones.

Anyway Palps probably chokes on a carrot or something and dies and then the gang work to make the galaxy better again the end.
