The Hardest Part is Letting Go- Planning Thread- Bounty Hunter Obi-Wan

I was up last night, trying to sleep, when this plot bunny hit me- What if Obi-Wan is sent undercover as a bounty hunter? It's been bugging me all day.

I want it in the later JA era so Obi-Wan is ready to go out on his own but Qui-Gon is still around.

Here's what I have so far: A mysterious bounty hunter, who not even the bounty hunters know, is strageically murdering politicians. The Supreme Chancellor fears that the bounty hunter will move onto higher targets and enlists the help of the Jedi to help him catch the hunter. After several unsucessful attempts to track the hunter down, the Jedi find a plan: a Jedi will need to infiltrate the ranks of the bounty hunters to find the mysterious one. The Jedi turns out to be Obi-Wan on his third solo mission...

What thinks you? Good? Bad? Has it been done before?

I'm going to need help with the beginning and how to stage it correctly. Ultimately I want it in the archives. I believe I need a reason for Obi-Wan to be the Jedi and not Qui-Gon.

Thanks.

 

sounds like a great idea Krystal a possibility for the coucil's reasoning in sending obi instead of qui could be that obi's younger and could be considered less of a threat...basically, i think it'll depend on what the real bounty hunter's like

I like the idea, Trickster... what you're saying is that the Council chose Obi-Wan because he's younger and the bounty hunter is older than he... probably... so he'll be less of a threat to him...

What if the bounty hunter even took Obi under his wing?

 

This is a great idea Krystal. Obi-Wan as a bounty hunter, hmmmmmm, sounds good. I think you should go with the idea of this bounty hunter taking Obi-Wan under his wing, if you want a story with angst. Think about it, if the bounty hunter was to take Obi-Wan under his wing and they both got kind of attached to each other, how hard would it be for Obi to betray him? Anyways, just a thought if you want an angst story.

Here's an idea of mine, what if the bounty hunter was a Jedi or something? What if he or she was somehow connected to Obi-Wan in a more personal way? Like through his belief in the Force, or a relation he's never known, anything like that. Well, just an idea to help you expand.

Hey, when you write this you should PM me or something, I'd love to read it. I'd even help you if you needed it. (Not that I think you do.)

Great idea!'

I really like that concept. It would also give you another thing to think about with Obi Wan's difficulties with bounty hunters in AOTC.

If this was going to be published into a book, I'd read it.

 

Here's the first part... it gives absolutely nothing away!


~*~

?Ambassador Kraal from Tarmareek has been murdered, Supreme Chancellor.?

The Supreme Chancellor had been sitting at his desk, writing busily on a pad of paper, but as his assistant spoke the words, he jerked his head up. Shock registered on his face as he rose to his feet, the task he had been working on forgotten.

?Supreme Chancellor Valorum that is the seventh ambassador to be murdered this year.?

?I am aware of the fact, Mehemta.? Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum just looked at his aide, and then sighed. He went to the window wall, and looked down at the Coruscant sky. Even now, at the early hour, it was busy with traffic. ?What happened??

?The details are not known to me at this moment, Supreme Chancellor. We just received word. Apparently, Ambassador Kraal was at a party last night in a club and did not come home. When the maid came into the room he had in the hotel, she found him dead. I do not know the cause of death.?

Valorum stared out the window, contemplating what Mehemta had said. Mehemta let herself slide into a chair, waiting. The Supreme Chancellor would think, and then order her to do something. It was the routine when something happened, and she didn?t expect him to break it.

Finally, after a small amount of time, Valorum said,? Mehemta, seven ambassadors have been murdered. Six senators have been murdered. These ambassadors and senators are in no ways linked. We have exhausted our resources trying to connect these murders, but after this long it is clear there is no connection. The person murdering these politicians is a bounty hunter.?

Mehemta stayed silent, waiting.

?I am sure it is a bounty hunter,? Valorum said again, as if to convince himself. ?He has succeeded capture and knowledge of the deaths for eight months. There is never any evidence.? Now he was just thinking aloud. ?The security force cannot handle this. They haven?t been able to handle it for the last eight months.?

Valorum looked out the window again, and, far away, he saw the Jedi Temple.

?We need the Jedi on this.?

?Master, I assure you, I am fine!?

Obi-Wan limped down the corridor of the Temple towards the quarters he shared with his Master. Qui-Gon hovered on his side, looking down at Obi-Wan?s ankle in amusement.

?I am not worried if you are fine. I know you can handle that. I?m worried about how long it?ll take to walk down the hall.?

Obi-Wan gave Qui-Gon a look.

?Master, may I remind you I wouldn?t have a broken ankle if we hadn?t taken that boy along.?

?Obi-Wan, that ?boy? saved our lives.?

?He also gave me a broken ankle, Master.?

They reached their room. ?It was healed in a bath of bacta. I don?t know why you?re complaining. It could have been worst.?

?I apologize for complaining, Master. But he pushed me. It wasn?t entirely my fault.?

?I see.? They entered the room. ?Someday, Padawan, you may learn to appreciate pain. Pain is a humble reminder we Jedi are not all powerful, even with our healing techniques. Meditate on the injury so that it will heal faster.?

?Yes, Master.? Obi-Wan obediently went to his room and kneeled, keeping weight off his injured ankle.

The last mission hadn?t been that hard, really. They had been sent to the planet Nyodine as Guardians of the Peace. The mission had gone simply. They had merely acted as diplomats and soon the problem was resolved. But as they prepared to go, another rebel force challenging the monarchy opened fire on them in hopes to capture one of them and ransom them.

The rebels apparently did not know the Jedi. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan had quickly defeated the force, but along as they fought on the docking bay a young boy was found hiding near a box. Qui-Gon had saved him from the spot and took him with him as he blocked blaster shots. Obi-Wan had taken the boy at Qui-Gon?s orders and was leading him to safety when out of nowhere the boy pushed him down a ravine near the bay. Obi-Wan had tumbled down, his ankle twisting in a crevice and
