Anakin did ask Yoda for help, but he hid the part that mattered most.
He never told the Council the visions were about Padmé. He never admitted she was his wife. He never revealed that she was pregnant, or that Palpatine had already started feeding him the idea that death could be cheated.
So what happens if Anakin stops hiding and tells the Jedi Council everything?
The Council Would Have Told Anakin To Let Go
The Jedi Council’s first response would not have been to promise Anakin they could save Padmé.
Yoda already gave the Jedi answer when Anakin came to him in Revenge of the Sith. Anakin told him he was having visions of someone close to him dying, but he kept the name hidden. Yoda warned him that the fear of loss could lead to the dark side, then told him to train himself to let go of everything he feared to lose.
That advice sounds cold because Anakin was thinking about Padmé. But from the Jedi point of view, the danger was not only the vision. The danger was Anakin’s reaction to it. He was already terrified, possessive, and desperate to stop death before it happened.
The Jedi gave Obi-Wan a similar answer years earlier in Jedi Knights #1.
While training with Yoda, young Obi-Wan had disturbing visions of possible futures. One vision showed Qui-Gon being killed by the same assassin who had attacked him earlier. Obi-Wan was shaken by it, because the vision involved his own master.
Yoda did not tell Obi-Wan to chase the vision or force the future to change. He told him that seeing the future was a powerful skill, but the future was like water, always flowing and changing.
That is the Jedi view Anakin could not accept. A vision was something to understand, not something to control through fear.
If Anakin confessed the full truth, the Council would finally know why the visions were hitting him so hard. Padmé was not just “someone close.” She was his wife, and she was pregnant with his children. That would turn the conversation from a general fear of death into a direct violation of Jedi rules.
The Council would probably remove Anakin from active duty, question the marriage, and separate him from the situation that was feeding his fear. But they still would not tell him what he wanted to hear. They would not promise a secret way to keep Padmé alive.
Their answer would still begin with the same Jedi principle: Anakin had to stop trying to possess the people he loved.
The Council Would Have Removed Anakin From The War
If Anakin confessed the full truth, the Council would have a much bigger problem than his visions.
Padmé was not only someone he cared about. She was his secret wife, and she was pregnant with his children. That would expose years of Anakin breaking the Jedi rule against attachment while still serving as a Jedi Knight and a general in the Clone Wars.
The Council probably would not let him continue leading troops after that. Anakin was already emotionally unstable, terrified of losing Padmé, and hiding a marriage from the Order. Keeping him on the front lines would put the mission, his soldiers, and Anakin himself at risk.
They could suspend him from active duty, remove him from the Clone Wars, and force him to face the choice he had avoided for years: remain a Jedi or remain Padmé’s husband.
