Right...still no word from BabyBantha, so still no post. And we've run into another problem. After watching ROTS I'm so angry with Obi-Wan I wanna re-write this whole fic, making him suffer in every single scene. How could he???????

Please don't rewrite the whole fic! I like it as it is!
What you should do instead is write lots of Obi-torture and Obi-angst vignettes. That's what I've been doing for the last few weeks.

You mean at the lava scene (I'll leave out what happens for those who haven't seen it yet). My friend and I have been arguing about that for a while now. He's an Obi-Wan fan and I'm an Anakin fan, and so far have gotten nowhere with the debate.
Don't re-write it. There's too much Obi-Wan torture and angst on the boards already!

I'm sorta angry at Obi-Wan.
But I think that whole scene explains why he lets Anakin kill him in IV.
I'd feel *very* guilty if I was him; he had a chance to save Anakin, and he didn't take it.
But please don't rewrite your fic, Kee. It'd take ages, and nobody would get anything done because they'd all do the same thing to their fics!!! 
Everyone agrees on one point, don't they?
IT IS A BRILLIANT FILM!!!!!!!! 
So I completely understand if you don't post anytime soon due to the fact that you're still going and seeing it!!!!

I thought the Obi scene was rather cool. I rather liked the emotional display of Ewan, as opposed to the Alec Guinness Obi (whom I absolutely hated with a vengeance!) He knows he must kill Anakin, Yoda has sent him to do so, and yet is unable to do so himself; and lo! a Situation presents himself. So he is unable to watch, and yet unable to walk away. He knows killing Anakin would be a mercy, and still is unable to do so, hoping the fire will do the job for him, and hoping still somewhere in his heart that it will not.

It's kinda cool, I agree... 
Althought I cannot really explain that while a Jedi is obviously well aware what his blade is doing (just remember that little scene in AOTC where Anakin deals with those little nightmares with many legs in Padme's bedroom...) Obi Wan manages to cut off two legs and one arms... then not only stays to see the show but also gives a great speech about what he thinks the Choosen One should have done (swich to his place Obi dear ). And he calls it his duty... Uh... I wonder what he said to Yoda: I could't kill him but I tortured him as much as I can?!
I guess he had to meditate on it a lot on Tatooine.
Leave it to the will of the Force -please - it would have meant to hold my ligthsaber, close my eyes and let that stupid Sith to jump into the blade if he had been suicidal. (Higher ground Lucas has such great references)
Though I also have the feeling that Vader wouldn't have been too happy if Obi Wan suddenly had tried to help him... Without legs and arms that stupid Sith of course wouldn't cry for help and only wished to see Obi Wan in hell.
Edit:
BTW I wouldn't mind one or two extra scenes about this "little" memory

Well...I...er...umm....oh! Hi! Ummm...
I think Obi did the best he could, and he did warn Anakin not to try it, and I doubt if he had tried to help him, Ani would have let him.
Umm...er...right, umm, hi! Sorry i've been gone so long! Still love you, Kee! Can't wait for the next post!
(And love to everyone else of course, hi to the newbies and so on)
And so...yeah...be nice to Obi-wan. He really did love Anakin and i know it broke his heart.

*grumbles*
Nope, still pissed off. But I'm dealing with it (dear me, my biggest emotional trauma this year is the fact that a fictional character hurt another fictional character...!). In time, I'll learn to forgive and move on....
Went to see ROTS again this Sunday. In a ball gown! I had been to the spring ball, and been up all night and all day (lots of traditions surrounding the whole thing...the actual ball is just the beginning) and then a friend decided that he wanted to see the movie with me, and we went... It was hilarious! So tired...of course, we couldn't fall asleep.
SPOILER ALERT! *sniff* The part where Padme asks if Anakin is all right just brekas my heart every time... END SPOILER ALERT!
But I'm getting a bit worried about the post. Still no word from Bantha... But, hopefully, I'll get it back soon. Am working on a new fic as well, a short one about how Jix and Vader first met each other.
Love,
Kee

I just started reading this fic about a month ago, and finally got through the entire thing, and I must say this is one of the best fics I have ever read. You write so beautifully and so completely. It is totally perfect and I can't wait for more. Keep up the great work.

I read only the beginning of the story for now, and I totally agree ! One of the best fic ever !
I didn't even could believe this story was actually real and I was'nt dreaming (which would have been dreadful)
I love the way Vader is described, and he doesn't change too quickly. And Jix and Piett are just perfect !

Welcome to the thread, Jedi_Katana and Kellran! *waves and offers them muffins*
Ah, still no trace of BabyBantha - but fear not! The dear NamelessAlien has very kindly beta-read the post, so well...here it is!
---
Endor was by far on of the lushest planets Luke had visited. Of course, Yavin Four had been covered with forest as well, but those trees had been, well, not exactly small, but smaller. The trees of Endor wereas enormous, reaching for the distant, crystal blue sky. The ground was covered with thick grass, fallen branches, bushes and a thousand different plants the young Jedi did not recognize. The air was filled with the restless, oddly calming, murmur of a living forest.
The Force was natural here, Luke thought as he made his way through the vegetation. Undisturbed. Unused. Untamed, for good and for bad. Not leaning towards the Light or the Dark, just flowing naturally.
The strike team had split up as soon as they had landed, the Noghri leaving to create distraction as the rest of the team – Luke, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Jix and Mara – headed for the shield generator. They had been walking, and occasionally climbing and crawling, mostly in silence for what seemed like hours when they heard the first explosions, followed by high-pitched screams.
Obi-Wan stopped, listening intently. “It seems our friends are doing their job,” he noted.
Luke nodded. “I hope they’re all right.”
“Hey, they knew what they were signing up for,” Jix told him casually. “Besides,” he added darkly, scratching his left arm, “they’re tougher than they look. And they look pretty darn tough.”
Luke smiled to himself. Jix had still not forgiven the aliens for the allergic reaction they had caused, or for the unfavourable comments about Anakin. The smile faded. I hope he’s all right... His father would undoubtedly be absolutely furious when he heard about Mara. Hopefully, he would not let that distract him from battle at hand –
They started moving again, Jix in front, Qui-Gon next after him, Luke trailing behind the older Jedi with Mara at his side. Obi-Wan walked last, constantly looking over his shoulder, scouting for enemies that might sneak up behind them.
Luke glanced to his left, carefully eyeing the young woman next to him. She strode through the high grass with a grim look on her face, her green eyes constantly darting back and forth, searching for hidden threats. He opened his mouth to say something –
- and swirled around, lightsaber ignited. The speeder bikes, suddenly emerged from the thick forest, swept past them in a rain of blaster bolts. Luke brought his blade up and down, to the sides, parrying the shots with graceful ease, careful to stand in front of the weaponless Mara. Next to him, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were doing the same. Jix had drawn his own blaster and fired shot after shot. He hit one of the troopers in the back before they had a chance to turn around and charge again. Obi-Wan got another one with a deflected blaster bolt. One speeder crashed against a tree, the other simply stalled.
Two down, two to go –
But instead of attacking once more, the two remaining troopers continued straight ahead, occasionally firing over their shoulders.
“They’ll try to reach the shield generator to warn the others,” Qui-Gon shouted.
“Not gonna happen,” Jix told him, at the same time mounting the stalled speeder, turning the engines back on again.
“Wait, Jix – !“ Luke called, but it was too late. The Corellian had already disappeared into the woods after the two troopers.
For a moment, nothing. Then a loud explosion, followed by another, and another, followed by more nothing. The four humans glanced at each other.
“C’mon!” Luke motioned urgently, the worry making his voice rough.
It took them almost half an hour, but they found the place for the explosion easily enough. Three burning trees, close to each other. Smoking pieces of three different speeders on the ground.
“He could have gotten off – “ Luke started, slowly, but Mara shook her head.
“Then he should be around here somewhere,” she said matter-of-factly. “Can you sense him?”
The young Jedi swallowed, looking pleadingly at his older colleagues. Qui-Gon glanced at Obi-Wan, who slowly shook his head.
No one spoke for a minute or so. The trees burned. Far away, a bird of some unknown kind sang as if its tiny heart would explode.
“We should go on,” Qui-Gon finally said.
“Father will be really upset,” Luke noted distantly. Then he shook his head. “But you’re right. We have to move on. Jix would have wanted – “
“He knew what he was signing up for,” Mara interrupted him roughly, paraphrasing the words Jix himself had uttered just an hour ago.
Luke glared at her, biting back a furious comment. She was right, really. But still...
They moved on. It was too late for anything else to be done or said.
Far above Endor’s surface, far above – or rather far beyond – its atmosphere, the Rebel Fleet had made the jump from light speed several minutes ago, and was already engaged in furious battle with the Imperials. Aboard a small cruiser, a bit out of the way, Piett oversaw the violent dance, relaying messages from the command ship to the starfighters, trying to co-ordinate the furious attack.
One fighter he followed with special interest – the one piloted by his former superior. Anakin flew with wild abandon, aggressively taking down TIE after TIE. A bit too aggressively, Piett thought, with a worried frown. The risks he was taking –
“Black One”, he called over the open com link, using the call sign Anakin had chosen for himself. The former Sith had refused to be part of any existing squadron, coldly claiming that he would be better off on his own. Reluctanltly, the High Council had agreed, possibly because they realized that the rest of the pilots would have trouble accepting Darth Vader among them. “Black One, remember that our only goal is to keep them occupied until the shield is taken out. Do not take any unnecessary risks.”
No answer.
“Black One, do you copy?”
Still no reply. Piett cursed to himself. What was the man thinking? Why did he always have to be so damned difficult?!
He sighed. This situation was emotionally complicated enough as it was. Leading fighters against the Fleet he had once been part of –
His eyes fell on the Executor, dark and majestic, and he smiled wistfully. If there was one thing he missed about the Empire, it was her. The best ship in the galaxy, and the best crew. Now he was here to defeat them.
It did not seem to bother Lord Vader, that was for sure. In spite of Piett’s warning – or quite possibly because of it – he targeted the enemy with merciless determination. Piett had a feeling that if the ex-Dark Lord had his way, there would be not a single living Imperial left after the battle.
“Time?” he asked the computer.
The strike team should have reached the shield generator by now. If everything went according to the plan, this would soon be over.
He fervently hoped so.
“Doesn’t look like much,” Luke whispered. “And it doesn’t look very guarded.”
The strike team – what remained of it – was hiding behind a few thick bushes, spying down at the shield generator.
“That was the idea, wasn’t it?” Obi-Wan noted. “The Noghri is drawing all attention, and all the troops, to them.”
“Still – “ Luke murmured, not quite able to explain the empty feeling in his stomach. Maybe it was just because of what had happened to Jix.
Qui-Gon nodded. “I know what you mean,” he said. “Something doesn’t feel right.” He gave Mara a piercing glance. “Anything you would like to tell us, perhaps?”
The red-haired Emperor’s Hand just smiled. There was something in that smile that Luke had not noticed before, something that chilled him to the bone. A terrible premonition filled him –
“You’ve betrayed us,” he said, feeling incredulous. How could she have - ?
He had hoped against hope that she would contradict him, but instead her smile widened. “Yes,” she admitted sweetly. “I did.”
Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Luke stood up as one, lightsabers ready in their hands, but it was already too late. All around them, the forest came alive with stormtroopers pushing through the branches and bushes. Thousands of them –-
The three Jedi glanced at each other, then at the army gathering around them.
Mara Jade, slowly straightening from her crouched position, still smiled. “Try to fight them if you like,” she invited them. “I really would love to see you try.”
Another glance shared by the Jedi. Then Qui-Gon shook his head. “No need spill more blood than necessary. We surrender.”
