I like the fact that the Jedi in this galaxy don't seem as ... well, I suppose 'meddlesome' isn't the right word, but I hope you know what I mean anyway. wink Good of them to leave the decision to Bail and Leia, though, instead of taking it into their own hands, I suppose I'm saying.

And by the hells, girl, plot is thickening like maple syrup on a cold day. tongue Hope you offer us pancakes.

*is still wondering where Han is* I haven't missed him anywhere, have I? silly Any chance we're going to get some princess and pirate romance in this, oba? kiss [face_hopeful]



EDIT: And look, I got first post on the seventh page! *dances* dancing

So...many...questions! *head explodes trying to think of answers*

Interesting bit of history on Obi-wan...but once again it brings up more questions than answers tongue

I liked the discussion between the Jedi...hmm. Luke's probably just waiting for them to play right into his hands. But what is he up to???

Great post! Looking forward to Tuesday! happy

Ooohhh! I like that Obi-Wan is still alive. happy

This story gets more and more interesting with every post. I like seeing so many characters I'm familiar with in the Saga. happy

Very nicely done.

Looking forward to more. happy

Well, if someone had any doubt that this story has political intrigue, after reading this last post, I think they don't have that doubt anymore. wink

Great post, by the way. As all the others, I have lots of questions in my mind... but I won't ask them, because I know you will not answer happy

Can't wait for tuesday happy

Good post.

I loved the council, their interaction was priceless. Obi Wan is my second favorite character, behind Luke.

I think the NR is playing directly into Luke's hand. I imagine that Luke is extremely adept at uncovering machinations, much like Palpatine.

Does that [/delurk] mean you're going to return to lurkdom?

I'll try not to, but I have a bad habit of doing so when reading stories I like. wink

Can't wait for the next post. grin

The plot thickens! My little political intrigue radar was going off big time in this post, oba. (And I didn't even know I had one! shock A radar, that is. tongue )

I like the inclusion of so many characters from both the movies and EU: it really helped to ground me in the setting, and makes all the krazehness seem . . . well, absolutely normal and possible. wink

And Obi! grin grin You know. I loved the description of him, and the insight into where he's been and all that jazz. And they want Mara to spy for them?

Lovely foreshadowing in this passage, Mum. Can't wait for Tuesday to roll around! kiss

And where is Han, anyway? tongue

Ok, Newbie here! My first reply is to this story. Awesome. I absolutley love the intrigue, the secrets they are holding from each other. (and we all know that they are). Awesome story, I can't wait for another update!

Wow! This looks like it is going to be a great story! I have really enjoyed it so far, especially with Luke as emperor. Interesting that Luke doesn't (or seems to not) know about Leia. I hope Mara's curiosity doesn't hurt her. I look forward to more soon!

Elli: I think they would learn from their experiences. I think originally, they just never had the chance to. Had they lived, I think they would realized the mistakes they made with Anakin (Obi-Wan certainly would have, imho) and endeavored not to make them again. happy

Pancakes? shock tongue No, you haven't missed Han anywhere. Just remember, the story is focused on L/M. batting Pirate and the princess? Well . . . *ponders how to answer* Yes and no. tongue Oh, and very randomly - Gabri and I agree, 'tis impossible not to heart Elli. kiss

Thanks, dearest. hugs

Mirax-Jade: Cool! grin I'm glad it made your day. b-) And yes, the plot thickens. I have to say, though, it gets worse. silly Thank you! rose

RebelPrincess: LOL! tongue I like driving readers insane. wink Be comforted by this: the story will be posted in it's entirety, and everything is explained at the end. tongue And yes, Luke is just waiting. mischief Thank you, and hope to see you on Tuesday! grin

Jedikma: Of course you like Obi-Wan alive. wink Oh! And there's a few throwaway lines in this story just for you. mischief Thank you! grin

LaYa_: LOL! It's funny, because I don't normally write political intrigue. But I had a lot of fun with it in this, and I think it really does add to the story, having all this going on while L/M get to know each other. And I'll answer questions that aren't answered later in the story. wink Thank you! grin

HandofSkywalker86: Same here. grin I remember at first I had intended pretty much all scenes to be from Luke or Mara's POV, and that was the first that wasn't - but I had so much fun with it, it just flew off the page. tongue And you're right, Luke is very adept at both uncovering plots and making them. Thank you! rose

Geith_Jiseo: Try hard! tongue Thanks for reading. grin

LianaMara: LOL! laugh I'm glad, though. I think the fact that I ended up including so many people from the EU and films makes this seem like a complete universe, rather than something I just invented to put L/M in (which it is silly ).

Obi-Wan is so lovable. wink Thank you. dancing They do want Mara to spy for them. Naturally. tongue

You'll find out about Han. Sooner or later. mischief

Somethingaboutme: blush Wow, I'm very flattered my story is your first post! grin The intrigue keeps everyone tense, I think. mischief Thank you! rose

Jedi_of_Imladris: Luke as Emperor is too fun to write. mischief My beta, Gabri, loved how Luke is all-seeing, yet doesn't know Leia is his sister. Even the most-powerful have blind spots - "Your confidence is your weakness." Thank you! rose

Darth_Ishtar: mischief

Well, I remain unconvinced by your reasoning. I still think it's faulty.

Funny, that's what my teachers liked to say to me. Just because I think differently! *still thinks the Aenied is better then the Odyssey - hands down*

I think you're ignoring individual decisions (or awareness of cultural pressure) as well as making some assumptions (dratted word, but nevertheless true) - I know perfectly well what an assumption is, but your definition doesn't mean it's a good support on which to make your case, which it seems to me you are doing.

Actually, I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Why did I get into the discussion in the first place?? *shrugs - blames McEwok just because she can*

But I'm not going to go into it point by point - I disagree with you completely, but I think I'll leave it at that.

That's free-will for you. *sticks tounge out at Calvin*

If you want to discuss it more we can take it to PM, but I think I'm done, and I don't think we'll get anywhere.

Nah, it wasn't really that important anyway. Just a bit of fun while I wait for another update! *threatens obaona with an essay describing the over-all symbolism of Luke's clothing as it pertains to his character, politics, and getting Mara to make out with him* grin

Oh! But the Sith doesn't know everything. (Yes, I must tease. ) Thanks for reading.

Wait, you insult me by telling I'm completely wrong and then thank me for reading? *shrugs* You sound like my teachers again...

Of course you like Obi-Wan alive. Oh! And there's a few throwaway lines in this story just for you. Thank you!

You know me well and the more I write Obi-Wan, the more I love him. love

Throw away lines in there just for me? Oba, you are such a sweetheart! kiss You just made my day...Thank you! hugs

RedGold: Wait, you insult me by telling I'm completely wrong and then thank me for reading?

Chill, girl. raised_brow Number one, oba didn't tell you you were completely wrong, she said she disagreed with you completely. What she is doing is 'thinking differently' than you, which is certainly allowed. Number two, it's no insult to think differently. I would think you'd be well aware of that, as someone who thinks differently herself. Number three, I've had readers with whom I disagreed completely, and I still appreciated the fact that they took time to read my stories and leave feedback. Complete agreement with a train of thought is not a prerequisite for gratitude for general thoughtfulness.
