Somewhere, systems away, something was shifting.
The Force twisted, bent, convulsed around something abnormal, as if trying to expel it.
For a long moment, stars stretched beyond their limit, space expanded, and he felt himself being pulled outward and along with the rest of the galaxy as the current changed.
And then everything snapped back into place, as if nothing had ever happened in the first place.

That had to be really bizarre for Anakin. I like the description though. I can't be really sure yet, but it seems fitting because hopefully everything is about to change although nothing has changed yet.

Its probably a big weight for Jaina to know she has to change the future, but having to take care of a five-year old at the same time cannot make it any easier. She couldn't have left Ben behind though. And if anything it looks like he'll be a constant reminder of why this has to be done.

Oh, and I agree that there is something missing in the Skywalker genes that makes them forget to watch out for themselves sometimes. happy

This was another great post. I'm looking forward to next time.

Another great chapter!!!! Brilliant!!!! Me love me love me love more soon???

"Can I fly?"

Despite herself, Jaina chuckled. "Maybe next year, Ben," she replied, ruffling his reddish gold hair. "Little boys aren't supposed to pilot starships."

"Five's not little," Ben said with a little scowl.



I seem to remember something like this in the movie Titan AE

"Can I drive?" -Cale

"When you're older, kid." -Korso

"I'm older than four!" -Cale

Yeah! That was the line!

Wow. What else can I say? I am hooked. I haven't read any new stories lately, and I've been on the lookout for a good AU. The time travel twist has been used in many a fanfic and might seem cliché, but you employ it with such expertise that I don't think anyone can help being pulled into this story. The passages with Ben and Jaina are bittersweet, painful, and chilling.

Most nights, she went into a Jedi trance instead of sleeping, so that the screams would not linger in her ears.

That sent shivers up and down my spine. Such a short detail, and yet it revealed so much about Jaina and the circumstances she and Ben are in. She's a hardened young woman, similar to Leia in the OT, but far more battle-weary and bitter. I can't say for sure yet, but I doubt her first meeting with her grandfather will be the most pleasant affair. She's going back in time to save the future and her family, and she means business.

As for Anakin and Obi-Wan and all the other characters so far, I must say the characterizations and dialogue are right on. Anakin is my favorite character, and if you've nailed his characterization, then you've won my respect and praise. (Okay, so I'm not always that shallow, but hey, writing Anakin well definately helps. wink )

Bringing us right into the action in the Clone Wars was perfect. It keeps right with the Star Wars tradition of beginning in the middle of the action. I love it, I love it, I love it!

Eagerly awaiting the next post!

~Vi~

Wow, what a post grin The opening bit with the wars was great, you write Anakin very well, and I snickered at the fact that no Skywalker has self-preservation skills tongue But it was the part w/ Jaina and Ben that really tugged at my heart... they've been through so much, poor things sad

Obi and Ani, with Kit and Aayla thrown in for good measure grin love

Wow, everytime we get a glimpse, no matter how small or vague, of what the future became, it sends chills down my spine. I only hope Jaina's plan, whatever it is, can change things enough to create a better outcome worried

Poor Jaina and Ben sad Their whole family is dead, save for the ones they're soon to meet, and the Jedi are extinct, save for the creepy Old Order they're bound to have a brush with eventually... what a confusing, depressing life those two lead. I love it! grin tongue

Well they made it back in time in one piece, which is always a good sign, but unfortunately they landed among a bunch of separatists, which is not such a good thng. Still, they're hidden for now, so hopefully they'll make it out without too much trouble. But like Jaina said opponents who you can feel in the Force are greatly preferable to those who you can't.

At the same time, I hope she doesn't underestimate them because of it, however, as they could be bad.

I have to admit, I am really curious about what is going to happen. Who are Jaina and Ben going to meet, what are they going to tell them and what will happen.

I can't wait to find out.

This looks like it's shaping up to be a very, very interesting story! Sad that all the other Solos and Skywalkers are dead though...but Ben sounds really cute and I'm glad Jaina is there to take care of him. I hope they succeed in their mission! I look forward to more!
