    WARNING: THIS THREAD CONTAINS GENERAL SW SPOILERS THROUGHOUT. Week 2's story rated PG-12 for violence.

    Note: The first two fanfic drabbles will be posted in one post and are late, past due. However, starting with my second post of the Day, Drabble 3 for Week 3, I'm very much still in the game. I'm looking forward to this.

    Week 1

    Word Count: About 299 words.

    She was out in the woods again, once more up in a tree. Only two months ago she had been kidnapped by Inquisiting people and rescued by Ben Kenobi. Now she gazed at the shipping lanes, allowing her personal droid, Lola to identify the passing ships.

    "*Yawn* another pleasure yacht, oh, a heavy armored cruiser! Taking off from over there! What's that doing in the sky? Maybe they're guarding a lot of credits from pirates! Oh, there's a - a blockade runner, is that the Tantive IV again? I wonder what they're here for. My father knows Captain Antilles. I'm bored, Lola, let's go see what we can learn from father."

    Lola chirped.
    "I'm curious"
    She looked down at her holster, at her waist.

    Getting down from the tree, she raced care-free toward her palacial residence on Alderaan.

    Breha Organa was waiting for her when she got home.

    "Where were you, I was worried sick."

    "In the woods, Mother."

    "After what happened you know it's not safe there. Give me Lola."

    Leia sighed and handed her mother the droid. She shut it off.
    "Now go wash up, we have a dinner to go to."

    Later, at dinner, she saw Captain Antilles and walked up to him.
    "I want to learn how to fire a blaster, sir."

    "You? You're 10. You'll shoot your eye out."

    "I can put it on stun setting, sir. I just want to learn to shoot."

    "What good will it do you? You're an aspiring Senator, not a soldier."

    "Please."

    "Okay, two lessons. Tomorrow. Be there early. 10 clicks."

    "I'll be there at 9 clicks."

    "The next Day, Leia was given her first ever blaster. Her aim was clumsy at first, but over the next three Days, as she practiced at the blasting range, she got much better.

    For the first time in her life, she felt powerful.

    Week 2

    Word Count: 401

    Exar Kun and his Acolyte, Min, fought like mad hornets, sparring furiously, literally trying to kill the other. Min tried three times in three strokes to decapitate her Master, and Exar Kun attempted to impale Min through the heart and lungs.
    As they fought, Exar calmly asked, "What did you learn?"

    "That you must die, then I will be the Master!" Min practically snarled.

    "No!" Exar said sharply between strokes. "Today's lesson is not about dominance in battle." He leapt up to an upper platform, taking the High Ground.

    Min sent her crimson blade spinning at her Master with the Force. Heb blocked it with one raised hand mid-air.

    "That we must fight to survive," Min said.

    "Exar shook his head. "No. That is part of our creed. That is not the lesson this Day endeavors to teach us, my child."

    Furious, Min Force-grabbed her saber and started climbing up the side to where Exar stood, to try to be level with him, guarding her left flank. She eyed her opponent carefully.

    You are unwise to lower your defenses! Exar Kun roared as he struck fast and with fury.

    One of Min's arms was lopped off at the elbow. Filled with pain and anguish, she leapt back, willing herself to ignore the pain.

    "...Through victory my chains are broken and I shall be free." she recited to herself her anger and rage numbing her pain. She willed herself to keep fighting with one arm. He had not cut off her saber arm, on purpose.

    She started using Form 4, Ataru, the Agression Form, which relied a lot on Force-assisted acrobatics, as the two combatants fought fiercely.

    Exar arched one eyebrow, impressed.

    Then in walked Mann, her brother, saber aglow."

    "Kill him," Exar commanded.

    "I...can't."

    "Kill him. Now."

    "I cannot."

    "Then you have not learned today's lesson."

    Willing the pain away, she decapitated her brother. His blue saber clattered to the floor.

    She collapsed. "He...didn't stand a chance against me."

    "What is today's lesson? What did you learn?"

    "Pain is the way of the Sith. Pain fuels our rage and rage gives us our power," Min conceded.

    "That is correct," Exar Kun said satisfactorily. "You may rest for the Day."

    As he buried Mann's dead body in an empty Mausoleum just for his enemies, he meditated on the Depths of the Darkness. Pain was life. Darkness was all. Through victory his chains were broken and he was free.

    Ben and Rey were married! The flower girl, Nalsa Ri, struck up a conversation with Rey during the reception. Master Klon, a Twi'lek Male Jedi Master, looked on.
    Nalsa Ri sputtered excitedly: "I'm a Jedi Padawan now! I'm only 6 and I'm a Padawan! Master Farja is such a good Master! She teaches me so many lessons in her actions, words and in booksmarts. I love her.

    Nalsa Ri was a beautiful little Twi'lek girl, a very deadly blue-bladed saber clipped to her utility belt. Rey responded: "I'm very proud of you for becoming Master Farja's Padawan. Perhaps Ben and I can give you a few pointers and show you some Force techniques, with your Master's permission, of course.

    Nalsa Ri bubbled over with excitement. "That would be great! I'll talk to her tonight in her Meditation chamber.

    Later, as Ben Solo and Rey danced, Rey and Ben held each other close, as soft music played. The love she felt for her husband was more than words cold say. This was such a joyous occasion! O how they loved each other! Ben thought of how much they'd been through and survived and just how much he'd been redeemed from. Patricide! Genocide! Trying to kill the woman he now held in his arms. Invading her mind trying to take what he wanted. He wanted absolution and found solace in the Force. After all he'd done; what he'd planned to do, it was amazing that this woman he had so wronged in so many ways chose to love him. The ten years he'd spent in New Republic prison had not hardened him. It had given him time to think, and to contemplate his future. And Rey had waited for him. He glanced over at Finn and Rose, dating off and on but neither really committed yet. He wondered if they would ever get serious an tie the knot.
    Then he glanced at the flower girl whom he'd seen gushing to his wife earlier about something. Such a picture of innocence, like the children he wished to have with Rey soon.

    For the future, he was hopeful.

    As Rey danced with her husband, swaying to the slow music, she thought of how she'd started as a lowly scavenger on Jakku who had no one, delusionally thinking that her parents, who'd left her there to protect her from Palpatine and had been murdered by Ochi of Bestoon, were coming back for her one Day, then came Finn who saved her from her own Delusions.
    She glanced at him. His eye was on Rose, who gave him a brief smile, then looked away.
    Finn was a good friend, but at one time she had relied on him to get her safely away from her own empty dreams, and she was grateful to him for that. Then she met the man whom she had at first seen as a Monster in a mask, who had called himself Kylo Ren, Master of the Knights of Ren, who had done despicable things. It was the moment he had removed his mask at her request when the feeling of love had first stirred in her heart for him. Why she felt this stirring in her heart for him she was not certain of until later when Snoke had connected their minds and they had bonded intimately through mental communication. This, while strange, allowed her, even now, to get to know her husband in ways through the Force that she could not otherwise.

    Then Kylo Ren had offered her his hand-and she had wanted desperately to take not the hand of Kylo Ren the Monster, but of Ben Solo the man she saw inside that facade.

    And at the end, when she thought she'd lost him, the energy of Exegol had resurrected him and he'd had to spend 10 years in New Republic prison, but she had waited.
    Once Finn had courted her briefly, but she made it clear to him that she would wait for Ben, and he'd continued pursuing Rose off and on in the interim, or sometimes Rose pursued him.

    When the dancing was over, Rey and Ben, a married couple, boarded the Naboo speeder bound for the Queen's Starship docked in Theed. They looked at each other lovingly, kissed again, held hands, and boarded the speeder.

    Eulogy of Fives

    by Chancellor Palpatine

    One of my less favorite duties of being your Chancellor are those times when a prominent figure must and ought to be eulogized for the futurity of posterity. So when I was asked to do the Eulogy of the man, or should I say, the Clone, who attempted, quite out of the blue, I might add, to assassinate me, I decided I must oblige.
    Fives, or as was his Clone Trooper Designation, CT-555, was a bold clone, a man of conscience, who never gave up even when the circumstances were completely against him. He discovered a virus - a virus that claimed the life of a compatriot, Tupp, and also of a Jedi.
    He went to great lengths to bring this to my attention. Then this virus claimed his very sanity, and made him paranoid, and quite to my surprise, dismay and utter shock, he attacked me.
    When I sent a team to apprehend him from the lower levels of this planet the virus and his paranoia it caused led to his own death.
    Through his short life, and shorter venture, Fives's motto had to have been: Don't stop. Don't think. Don't look back. He didn't stop to think about the ramifications of what he was doing. He just did it. And he never did look back. Now he exists out there among the stars, and I'm sure he must be one of the Galaxy's brightest ones.

    Palpatine is the most entertaining unreliable narrator.
    Having him eulogize fives is downright sadistic, but I can buy it as something Anakin would (unwittingly) have him do.
    Now I want Rex's reaction to it.

    Thanks for the commentary compliments and reviews.

    ConservativeJedi321 Let's just say Rex has a mental impedance in processing the eulogy due to the chip, but the payoff was in Clone Wars Season 7 Victory and Death when he commanded Ahsoka to 'Find Fives'.

    Coryik's Diary
    Log 214
    Entry 54

    After a lot more sleep, (and a litle more waking nightmares, which I warded off with my spiritual techniques), I awoke at 0547 Hours.

    I am one with the Force and the Force with me Shi rei ka We're coming to get you no I am one with the Force and the force is with me. Keep fighting it, the Jedi Sage said, and that ancient evil will not overcome. I am one with the Force and the Force one with me.

    0620 Hours I fell back asleep, then when I woke up saw that horrible distorted vision again. I resisted feebly, got up and hurled in the fresher.

    Then I slept 'til 01040 Hours, and used the Force to strongly rebuke the ancient evil and it all left me, and now I am Whole.

    It shall not return.

    Then my Lothcat came into my room, onto my bed and hopped onto my chest, meowing, kneading me. Then she went back into the living room.

    Then I slept 'til 01124 Hours and am about to, in about 10 clicks, help my neighbor with waste removal, for Light and Life.

    Then I slept soundly until 01252 Hours, got up, updated my log, and am about to go back to bed to sleep off this tummyache after I drink seltzer water to settle my stomach.

    0213 Hours Sent a Comm transmission to the local library; took care of library books. Had serious talk with a Jedi Master about the Theology of the Force and the Church of the Force, and the spirit of Life, Light and Love that governs the Light Side of the Force and with the Force and Wisdom, fills and unites and binds all things together. The Jedi Master said a prayer for me, laying a hand on my shoulder.

    Week 6

    Ahsoka Tano had come to the end of her life. She searched for a Temple-an entrance to the World Between Worlds. She was 250 years old- old and full of years. She had lived much and seen much. As she trekked through the treacherous jungle, clearing a path through the tangle of brush with her pure white blades, she could see up ahead in the distance the temple she sought - Here is where she wished to die, hoping that she could continue in the afterlife in some form. She knew not what, but she pressed on.

    When she got to the Temple, she placed her hand on the stone. The Temple turned around, revealing its entrance, admitting her. She stepped in.

    She reflected on her life.

    All her life, off and on, she had served the Jedi Order, walking away from it at a young age, then ever after helping the Rebellion, then rejoining the Order, training Sabine, going to Peridea, finding her way back to her Galaxy and continuing to help the Rebel cause. She was tired.

    She rested on a rock that had the markings of the World Between Worlds. Was this her destination?

    As she nodded off, the Markings began to move and flow. Then a portal opened and she fell in.

    When she woke up, she still had her lightsabers and was still dressed in Jedi Robes, but she was somewhere else. Where, she didn't know. She saw cars, only they were on rubber tires. Up in the air, ships- wait - they looked bound to this planet yet riding the air - went by high overhead. Out at sea the most primitive- looking ships went by. Some were docked and they were loading and unloading crates and boxes of stuff.

    And she noticed, almost right away, that she was young again - about in her 20's. She walked into a business place, where a lot of people were eating, and she asked what planet she was on.

    "Earth, lady! Are you well?"

    "Who is the leader?"

    "Of this country? Trump: Are you ok? Did you take a bad spill? Were you mugged?"

    "No, I'm fine. What 'Country' is this?

    "America, Lady.: Take a seat. I'll get you something. On the house. You seem out of it."

    She sat at an empty table. She reached up to feel her head tails, but they were replaced by dark brown, long hair.

    'Ok, maybe I have changed' she thought. 'What is 'America', she thought. She thought and thought. The man at the bar brought her a sumptuous feast and some soda though she didn't know what it was. She ate, enjoying the food. She looked out the window. The street was busy with lots of yellow cars in a perpetual traffic jam. There were a lot of very tall buildings. This must be a city.

    The barman came back.
    "Enjoying the food, Lady?"
    "What is the name of this city?"
    "New York."
    "New York. Ok."
    She chewed her food.

    She had some credits in her pocket. She decided to leave two of these dataries for the meal.

    The barman looked at them.

    "These look exotic," he said. "Do you have a job?"

    "No." She said.

    He wrote down a number, and gave her some coins.
    "Put these in a payphone. Call the number. This guy can get you a job, so you can earn money. Ok, Lady?"

    "Ok. Got it." She said.

    "She went out in to the city, and asked around for a 'payphone'. She was directed to a singularly interesting communications device she had never conceived of before. She picked up the receiver, deposited the coinage, and dialed the number.

    'Hello?"

    "I was told you can get me a job?"

    "Ah, Frank must have directed you to me. Yes. Come to my office at 5555 Taylor Street, Suite 5. I can get you a good job."

    "Ok. Got it."
    She hung up and started asking for directions:

    Eventually, she wound up at a very tall building and rode the elevator to Suite 5. When she saw the man on the phone, he introduced himself as Marvin.

    "And what might your name be, Miss?"

    "Ahsoka Tano."

    "Ah, interesting name, Miss Tano. The job I have is selling perfume. Many women want to smell nice. This will be door to door, now.
    The commission is a large sum of money. The better you do - the more you sell - the more you make. It's that simple.
    Now, what makes this job easy is that you will be carrying sample bottles and a small catalogue of what you have which prospective buyers can look through. Does that sound good to you?"

    "Oh, yes." Ahsoka said. She had never sold things door -to -door before in her life, but she was willing to try.

    So, for the next several weeks, she tried and succeeded. She became quite good at her job, and was able to convince females why they should buy products from her company- and she made enough money to rent a small apartment.

    But after a while she grew tired of being a salesperson and got a job as a waitress at a small diner. Being so nice got her lots of tips, and she was more than able to pay her rent and bills, and still have enough money left over to buy things she wanted.

    She went to a local Church and read from the Bible. She played in a ping-pong club and won trophies. She played tennis, and volleyball. She was an avid reader, getting lots of books from bookstores and the local library system. She furthered her education by home college studies.

    She was liking this planet called earth.

    When men tried to hit on her, she shrugged them off. But one young man, from church, a Will Malyon, caught her interest. He wasn't like other men. He was sweet, charming, and very spiritual.
    They went on group dates with friends so she could see how he interacted with other people.

    Sometimes he spent time alone with her in Central Park. That's when they talked to get to know each other.

    Six months later they were married.

    Two months later she let him know that she could use the Force, and showed him her lightsabers. He was fascinated. He had never seen Star Wars anything, just knew that it existed.

    Was he ready for the Truth, that she was the very Ahsoka Tano represented on Disney +?

    Three months later, she showed him Star Wars, starting with Episode I and The Acolyte. Gradually, realization dawned on him, as the Clone Wars unfolded.

    "But how?" he wondered out loud. She kissed him. "It doesn't matter. All that matters is that I'm here. I'll tell you more some other time."

    Many months later Ahsoka gave birth to a son they named Anakin.

    After reading from some websites together, after some research, the couple decided to move to Independence Missouri and join a Branch in the Independence District after being Baptized and Confirmed. Later, they read a yellow book and believed in that and moved again to join a smaller Church.

    By now, Anakin was 2, and they gave birth to a daughter, Leia.

    Life in a small town was different than the big city. Their house was enormous. Ahsoka raised the kids and took care of home affairs while Will went out and earned much money to support his new family.

    Nine months later they gave birth to Luke.

    Will and Ahsoka delighted in each other's company. Will truly rejoiced with the wife of his youth.

    After a while it was time for Anakin to go to Preschool. He excelled there. The teachers remarked that he was the 'sharpest and the brightest kid in the class'.
    He tore through books.
    He loved reading and learning and through Kindergarten and First Grade he continued this streak. And Luke and Leia were not far behind, for they soon devoured books too.
    At 7, Anakin could read and nearly comprehend a college-level textbook.

    Luke and Leia were big on big kid's and adult reading Level chapter books and nonfiction books.

    Ahsoka got a job working from home eventually as Will continued to work hard to feed, clothe, parent and educate his family.

    What Ahsoka Tano Malyon had sought was a place to die. What she had found was Life.

    Week 7

    Thanks for your compliments. I wasn't thinking about Trump being gone but replaced by someone who will carry on his work. But how that pendulum tends to swing back from good towards evil again in less than a generation. Oh, my.

    N-E-Ways, here's my next story.

    Word Count: 335

    Supreme Leader Snoke was dead. Ben had killed him. Then Rey and Ben had teamed up to take on Snoke's Elite Praetorian Guard. Then Ben had offered Rey his hand. Only she did not want to take the hand of Kylo Ren. She wanted to take the hand of Ben.
    "You're still HOLDING ON!" Ben shouted. "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."

    She woke up. Ben slept soundly beside her, back turned toward her.

    She thought of all they had been through together. Fighting Palpatine Clones, the Vong, raising Luke and Sarah.
    She remembered one time she had caught a mischievous young Luke and Sarah conspiring together to deceive their parents. Luke had said to his sister: "If we both stick to the story, they can't prove anything." Oh how embarrassed Sarah and her brother had been when Ben had played the holo back as evidence against the siblings.
    But there had been so many good times.
    Celebrating Life Day on Kashyyk, opening Life Day presents. Attending Finn and Rose's 20'th Anniversary party, birthdays, sparring and other Jedi training, going on many missions together, fighting together.

    She got up, dressed, and made the morning caff. She hoped the fresh aroma of morning caff would bring Ben, now 68 years old, wandering into the kitchen.
    It always did.
    And sure enough, here he came.

    "Good morning, dear," he said in his routine way. They kissed, then he got his caff and went into the living room of their condo to check the holos for new Jedi business.
    There was always new Jedi business. A Jedi never retired.
    A transmission from Jedi Grandmasters Finn and Grogu about a second Mission to Brendock. Something about a breakthrough in an ancient cover-up and the exoneration of an old Jedi Master named Sohl.

    "We'll be there to report to the Council in three clicks." Ben said.

    Life on a newly rebuilt Coruscant was amazing, and Missions like these were always interesting.
    Within two clicks, Ben and Rey left home to report to the Jedi Council.

    Week 8

    Word Count: About 1,026.

    Hugo Damask had appointed Anakin Skywalker to the Jedi Council.

    The Council did not take this action lightly .
    Mace Windu told Anakin, in Council Assembled, "We grant you a Seat on the Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master."

    "This is unfair!"

    "Calm down, Anakin," Maul said gently. "To be put on the Council at your age, it's-it's never been done before."

    "Take a Seat, young Skywalker." Mace said with a veiled threat under his tongue.

    Maul shook his head disapprovingly.

    Chancellor Sheev Palpatine masked his Force abilities well. He contacted Viceroy Gunray of the Trade Federation wearing a hood to disguise his true self.

    "Move the Separatist leaders to Mustafar "

    "As you wish ."

    The transmission faded.

    He knew his opponent, Hugo Damask, wanted The Separatists to remain on Utupau. When he had his hood on, he knew they could not distinguish him from the Sith Lord.
    Now he had to act fast.

    Anakin walked in.

    Come, my boy, I have good news.

    "Yes?"

    "The Separatists are on the Mustafar System. If you and Maul act quickly, you can end this war.

    Ankakin had news of his own.
    "I have just learned a terrible truth."
    "What is it?"
    "Mace Windu is a Sith Lord."
    "A Sith Lord?"
    "He told me himself. I already informed the Jedi Council."
    "Oh, my, what a tragedy" Palpatine mused.

    "Stay in the lower offices. I shall deal with this Sith menace.

    "But you have no Jedi powers. I need to come with you."

    "Stay in the offices. I sense great confusion in you."

    "How do you sense confusion, you're not even a Jedi."

    "Stay. In. The. Lower. Offices."

    And Palpatine left.

    Mace Windu sat in his Meditation Chamber.

    Four Jedi came in to see him, Kit Fisto, Sisse Tin, Even Peele and Shaak Ti.

    Kit Fisto said menacingly, " By order of the Council you are under arrest."

    "You would arrest your own kind?"
    "The Jedi Tribunal will decide your fate."

    I AM the Jedi Tribunal!"
    Then Mace Windu's other lightsaber came out-not the Amethyst blade but his until now hidden red blade- and he leapt in the air and cried an unearthly yell, taking out two of the Jedi, Even Peele and Sisse Tin. Shaak Ti and Kit Fisto put up more of a fight, but in the end were no match for Mace Windu.

    Mace was glad that he had just sent Maul off to fight General Grievous on Utupau, for he feared Maul.

    Then in walked Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

    "Greetings, Excellency." Mace said, bowing.

    "You almost got away with it, didn't you?" Palpatine said evenly.

    "What can you do? You're just a Chancellor of the Republic. You have no power."

    The Chancellor Palpatine ignited a green lightsaber.

    Immediately Mace was on the attack, and Palpatine deftly defended, then struck, putting Mace on the defensive.
    They fought through the Council Chambers into Palpatine's Office and Mace bashed out the Office Window.

    Then in walked Hugo Damask.

    "Plaguies!" Palpatine said.

    "I sensed my Apprentice Darth Sideous was in trouble." Damask said boldly.

    Then in walked Anakin.

    "Hugo." Anakin exclaimed.

    "I told you the Chancellor was planning to murder the Jedi. Why didn't you believe me?"

    Anakin had seen dead Jedi everywhere. What was he to believe..

    "Don't listen to him Anakin," Palpatine said. Mace Windu is the Traitor here. And Damask."

    Damask said "Anakin, I've practically been your mentor your whole life. Windu believed in you. Believe in him as I believe in you. You are the Chosen One. Join me and we will destroy this Sith traitor."

    "I am not a Jedi but I'm not Sith, Anakin! Listen to me! I too had confidence in you from your youth up."

    Mace Windu then said. "Die, Sith scum."
    And as Mace and Hugo advanced on Palpatine, Anakin turned on him too. Palpatine put up a fight, but Anakin cut off his right hand and Mace gave him a Force Push out the tall window and the three watched Palpatine careen into the city streets below.

    "What have I done?" He should have stood trial!"

    "You're fulfilling your destiny, young Skywalker ," Mace said.

    "I will show you a new advancement in your Jedi's career like you have never dreamed. I was monitoring communications. I know that the Separatists are now on Mustafar. "

    "So Palpatine told me," Anakin said.

    "Go wipe them out. Then report back to me."

    As you wish, Master."

    "Hugo will show you what you were promised, a way to keep your wife from dying in childbirth."

    "Yes, Master"

    As Anakin left for Mustafar, Hugo sent Mace to the Temple to wipe out the Jedi there and Hugo Damask, Darth Plaguies, Executed Order 66 Galaxy-wide, without the knowledge of Anakin.

    Meanwhile on Mustafar, after Anakin destroyed all the Separatist Leaders, he saw his wife's ship approaching.

    Off the ramp came Padme, his love.

    They kissed.

    Padme said to him,
    "The cams in the Chancellor's Office show that you helped assassinate the Supreme Chancellor and that you are complicit with his other murderers."

    "He was a traitor"

    "I don't believe that"

    "I was just trying to stop him- I didn't mean to kill him-my Masters did."

    "Your Masters?"

    "They're going to show me a better way to be a Jedi and teach me how to protect you- to save you."

    "Anakin, Jedi are dying all over the Galaxy-their Clones have turned on them- it's wholesale slaughter. And one of your masters stormed the Temple and slaughtered younglings."

    "I don't believe that."

    "Maul told me. He knows about us."

    "Us?"

    "Maul told me everything."

    "I don't want to hear any more about Maul. Maul turned against me. Don't you turn against me!"
    "Stop. Come back. You're a good man, don't do this. I love you. "

    Then Anakin saw Maul on the Ship.

    "LIAR! You brought him here to kill me!"

    Anakin started choking Padme.

    "Let her go, Anakin, Maul said. "Let her go."

    "As you wish" Anakin said, and Padme collapsed.

    After a very long fight on Mustafar, Maul walked away from a burnt, charred and chopped-up Anakin.
    After a fight with Grand Master Yoda, Mace Windu came down to Mustafar, sensing Anakin was in danger.

    Maul was able to save Padme's twins, Luke and Leia, but not Padme.
    And Anakin Skywalker, renamed Darth Vader by Mace Windu, got his mecha-suit.

    Luke went to Tatooine, to be watched over by Maul. Years later his arch-nemesis Kenobi, whom he had once faced on Naboo, would seek him out, but would not prevail.

    Leia was taken to Dantuine. Later Dantuine would be destroyed by the first Death Star and an all-out attack would be launched from Alderaan to blow up the Death Star.

    All Jedi are Sith and all Sith are Jedi.

    This is a reflection on my life today, but could be representative of any man, woman or Jedi in SW or any franchise who has had a life change like this.
    It is free verse but has a bit of rhythm and cadence.
    Week 9

    The first dawn of light
    in your universe brings
    fire blazing in your heart
    and Oxygen in your bloodstream.

    The boy was good, and the good had come from
    him,
    the Father forgives you, loved him.
    Self, remorse, shame, death, guilt gone away.

    A wife and brotherhood will ever have.


    And thank you; it was my intention to switch the roles of a lot of the Jedi and Sith, except Yoda and Anakin who stayed the same and notice I had Even Peele survive the Clone Wars but die at the hands of Mace and changed Shaak Ti's death scene once again.
