Love, love, LOVE this! Everything about this entire thread is perfection! Thank you OP for posting, and everyone else for chiming in so perefectly.
As pointed out LWJ would become very disillusioned, which is one reason I think that LWJ kind of gives Count Dooku vibes. Then there is also the aristocratic background, disciplined persona, disagreement with the way that things are done by the ruling body (senate and Jedi Council for Dooku, sect politics for LWJ), and don't forget Dooku's fall was pushed over the edge by a loved one's death.
Also WWX gives me some Obi-wan vibes (and not just because I am biased to him). Especially young Obi-wan in Legends, the willingness to sacrifice self for the benefit of others, interest in academics (though I can't currently recall how much of that is fanon vs cannon for Obi-wan), molding himself to best suit the situation a la YLLZ or perfect Jedi, plus the whole infinite sadness thing is very WWX. The biggest difference is the fact that Obi-wan was able to grow up and hide his crazy stunts better (see jumping out of a who knows how tall building to catch a droid) while WWX died before he could learn to mask it.
Just my contribution to the totally correct point OP originally made.
So I was thinking about Star Wars and The Untamed—as you do—and not to be like, “hot take,” but regardless of who went dark side in canon, Wei Wuxian would actually make a much, much better Jedi than Lan Wangji would.
#wwx#lwj#the untamed#star wars#WWX is Obi-wan Kenobi#LWJ as Count Dooku anyone?#No lineage incest vibes tho#Just the personality traits and characteristics that they share#Jedi wwx#Possible Sith LWJ

omg so sw is my other obsession besides mdzs, so i have Opinions on the whole "who in wangxian would go dark side" question, and i'm sorry if you are sick of hearing about this but i have nowhere else to scream. so basically, in my view, wwx is the more likely of the two to use dark-side techniques, because lwj would obviously not be that motivated to even look past the orthodox path. but the problem with these discussions is that there's always a light side = good, dark side = bad mentality that sw itself doesn't seem to share. like it LOOKS blacknwhite on the surface, but it's actually not!! the pure, light side jedi are just as incorrect in their usage of the force as the pure, dark side sith are! i think wwx would see this, and he would start incorporating techniques from both the light side and the dark side into his use of the force and of course end up maligned by the orthodox (jedi) followers of the force. but the force can do So Much, and wwx is such an intelligient guy as well as an inventor, i can't logically see him not looking into the immense possibilities of the force without pulling from both sides
Oh no anon, rant away! While I never watched any Star Wars movie and don’t plan to after how Disney and fans treated John Boyega, I will say that I’ve watched Quinton Reviews tackle the movies’ themes of fascism and complacency. (If you haven’t seen them, they’re really great and not his 5+ hour long videos, if that’s not your thing lol) So going purely off of his analysis, I would agree that neither side is purely good/correct or evil/bad; they just each have the potential to be depending on the material circumstances that they derive their authority from.
So adding that to mdzs: Wei Wuxian isn’t “tempted” into the unorthodox path because he was swayed by power; the only reason why he went that route is because he was in a life-or-death situation. However, his theoretical path was first brought up to challenge Lan Qiren on his high horse so that he could get out of class where he was being unfairly picked on. In a Star Wars au, I think that a Jedi!wwx would still bring up the dark side as a means to challenge the “accepted canon” of the force, but he probably still wouldn’t use it unless forced to. Not sure if there could really be a sw-equivalent situation that would force wwx to go to the “dark side” for his own safety… And we’d also have to accept that the rest of the cultivation world would be considered Jedis, the Jin would be knowingly working with Sith in full public view, and the rest of the Jedi would do nothing about it because it maintains a status quo.
Anyways, seriously, go watch Quinton Reviews if you haven’t, particularly his analyses of the prequel films.
#mdzs asks#anon#so again not a star wars fan#but i love the themes it addresses#and i LOVE how quinton talks about them#because it feels like now that sw is mainstream#people choose to ignore the heavier themes and implications of the series#in favor of—you guess it!—shipping and making ‘every lives happily ever after!’ aus#i rarely see good film analyses anymore so it’s refreshing

Hi,
how do you feel about that whole scene where it was revealed jc had wwx's core. Because reading it in the manhua now (I've read in the translated novel and watched cql) I really hate wwx and lwj during that scene. I think they were in the wrong (wwx had himself expelled from the sect and lwj is an outsider that has no business being in there) and I was curious how you see that whole thing.
Hope you have a nice day.
Hi friend!
My personal opinion is that the only person in the wrong in that scene is Wen Ning.
I'm referring to more or less the cql plot line.
I don't feel either Jiang Cheng or Lan Wangji or Wei Wuxian are in the wrong based on the stance that they take and the information they know.
If you take Jiang Cheng's stance: you don't know jack shit. Nobody tells you anything. You still don't really know why after your shixiong went missing, he became a sith lord. You tried approaching him about it when he was alive the first time around but he just pushed you away. I mean at that time you were barely more than a kid yourself, trying to keep it together for your new found sect, trying to play at being an adult and incidentally being played by every other adult who was way better at the politcs game than you were. And then your shixiong chose to protect the Wen Remnants, which in and of itself was not a bad thing and you knew it. But you couldn't help. You wanted to, at least for Wen Qing, but you couldn't. You knew you couldn't because you're a Jiang and the Wens killed your family- slaughtered your parents - and maybe not these specific Wens, but that didn't matter and that was just how things were in the world you lived in (if you're not cn and you don't get it, just trust me on this trope, take my word for it). That was why you went to find Wei Wuxian and tried to talk to him about it but instead of explaining shit to you, Wei Wuxian decided to "defect" and then you had to fake fight about it. And then you had to pretend to hate him in front of other people. And you know...you were faking it until you made it and you thought everything would be fine. Things were kinda quiet for a while. You invited Wei Wuxian to your nephew's celebration and then HE KILLED JIN ZIXUAN. WHAT?? And then before you knew it the Wen Remnants were giving themselves up and everyone was storming Nevernight and Wei Wuxian was Sith Lord on Meth and giving Anankin Skywalker a run for his money.
And then your sister died and you just lost it. Yeah you tried stabbing Wei Wuxian, but who didn't those days am I right? Besides, he let go of Lan Wangji's hand himself...
The point is, it's been 16 years and you still don't know anything. You don't know why Wei Wuxian is doing ANY of this bullshit and you just wish you know something for once for fuck sake. The running theory is that Wei Wuxian = Evil, and you know that's not true. Wei Wuxian = Jackass, yeah, that might be true. You just don't understand why Wei Wuxian doesn't give a shit about being a Yunmeng Jiang, why he would stand with literally anyone else - the Wen Remnants, Lan Wangji, Wen Ning - but not with you.
And you're SO angry, you just want to fight him. Like the ways boys do, one fight to settle the score. Maybe you can punch the truth out of him. How did he get resurrected in the first place huh? What the fuck is that all about?
And then you know. Because Wen Ning tells you in the cruellest way possible. You know now why he couldn't stay because Wei Wuxian had given you everything he could give, and that there was nothing else left he could offer.
The truth is worse than you ever imagined, and knowing the truth doesn't fix you. You're still alone, still broken.
If you take Wei Wuxian's stance: sure you might have "defected" but you never really defected, not in your heart. You'll always be a Yunmeng Jiang. Lotus Pier is your home. You swore to Madam Yu you'd protect Jiang Cheng and you did that. Look at him, he's a sect leader now, a goddamn strong one at that. That's a success right? Then why doesn't it feel like one. Why are you still miserable, still cast out, when all you want is to come home.
Oh, yeah you know why. Because shijie is dead. She died more or less because of you, at least it feels that way. That peacock Jin Zixuan too. You still don't understand how it all went so wrong. But you're tangled up in the thick of it, and you can't extract yourself. You are responsible, at least in some sense. Responsible for being stubborn, for thinking you had everything under control. Responsible for your pride and arrogance.
You know why you can't come home. Because you still carry that one giant secret you swore you'd carry to you grave and never let anyone know. And you did technically carry that shit to the grave, but now you're alive again, and honestly who the fuck prepares for this kind of scenario? This is not the kind of truth that should ever see the light of day. You don't ever regret a single goddamn thing you ever did on that hill in Yiling, but jesus christ you miss home and you just want to come home. So now that you're here, in the ancestral hall, how can you not pay your respects?
And of course Jiang Cheng is angry, you know why he's angry. YOu never told him jack shit. But you're too tired to fight him. It's been so many years and you just want to move on. Let Jiang Cheng hate you if he wants to; you've made peace with that.
If you take Lan Wangji's stance: this fucking Jiang family drama is worse than soup drama. You're not really sure what the ever loving fuck went down between Jiang Wanyin and Wei Ying but at this point, it's too late to go through all that history. The love of your life was dead and came back to life!! Who else gets that kind of second chance?! You have your priorities, and that's to keep Wei Ying safe. There is a conspiracy going on and everybody has bigger problems now, problems like Jin Guangyao and what he did to all those people all those years ago, and the things he's still doing. That's what the focus should be.
And besides, you look at Wei Ying and you know that he never stopped loving this place - Lotus Pier. That this place is his Cloud Recesses, and no matter how far he goes, even as far as death, he will never stop seeing this place as home. So of course you follow him into the ancestral hall to pay your respects. This man is the man you want to spend the rest of your life with; his family is your family. It's only right. Of course Jiang Wanyin is angry about it, but that guy clearly has problems and you're above starting a fight with him as long as Wei Ying wants to keep it civil.
Wen Ning - fuck this guy. I don't like him and I don't care to explain it.

Star Wars AU - Pt. 1
Well my friends, the people have spoken!
I now have enough spoons to think about something.
So. Let's get out of the way some things.
Wen Ruohan, Wen Chao, Wen Xu and their goons are Sith
Jin Guangshan is viscid enough to be the equivalent of Chancellor Palpatine
The Nie are Mandalorian.
I still don't know where to place the Lan clan, suggestions welcome.
I am fully aware that everyone probably expects WWX/LWJ/JC to be somewhat like Obi Wan and Anakin, BUT that is NOT how things are going to be in my AU - also, there are plenty of those takes and I appreciate them all, but here things are going to go differently.
I will be modifying stuff to fit into a decent plot
This is all fanmade, also I am still learning all of the lore, so don't @ me thanks
So, WRH sends WZL to maul all remaining Jedis during the Fall of the Jedis. WWX is probably the only one managing to run away, somehow hides in a ship going to adestination as far away as possible from the Jedi and gets found by JFM, imperial senator, who is not immeditely aware that WWX is a Jedi.
JFM basically thinks, "Oh, lost kid, starved, wounded, no parents. Yeah, let's bring him home".
WWX is absolutely terrified of Droids and it just so happens that JC, JFM's son, has three Droids called Love, Princess and Jasmine. JFM deactivates them, sends them to be sold for parts and let's just say that it's going to be on JYL, JC's older sister, to flatten down the disagreements.
Once WWX feels a bit more comfortable, he starts doing his Jedi things for JC and JYL and when both JFM and YZY, JFM's wife, spot that, they react in a suboptimal way.
JFM: Oh, look,I now have a Jedi son, this is great, who cares if anyone discovers that.
YZY: YOU FOOL, YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING IMBECILE, YOU HAVE A SON ALREADY, WWX IS A NOBODY FROM AN ORDER THAT DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE AND IF THIS IS DISCOVERED WE ARE IN DANGER!
YZY to JC: YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN ANYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE!
YZY to WWX: YOU ARE NOTING BUT A LEFTOVER OF A PAST THAT DOESN'T EXIST, DON'T GET TOO HIGH ON THAT HORSE!
Once again the actual parent figure is JYL, who gets bethroted to JZX, JGS's son, by YZY because now that a JEDI is in the Jiang jurisdiction, she wants to have some sort of security/safety in case the Empire ruled by Sith Lord WRH decides to kill them.
I am stopping here because I have to think about the rest.

Star Wars AU for MDZS with great jedi!WWX and half a hairsbreadth from falling!LWJ (Or possibly Sith!LWJ, because yum).
“I can’t believe there’s a Sarlacc,” Wei Wuxian complained. “It just seems so unlikely.”
“Local legend refer to it as the Xuanwu of Slaughter,” Lan Wangji said.
“It’s still a Sarlacc pit. And we’re stuck in here, at least until we can get past it…say, why do you wear Lan robes, by the way?”
Lan Wangji gave him a look that suggested that Wei Wuxian was an idiot.
“I mean it! You’re a Sith, aren’t you? Why adopt the outfit of the most pristine, righteous order of Jedi monks of all time?”
Wei Wuxian’s legs were kicking back and forth, and Lan Wangji really, truly wished that he didn’t find the irritating Jedi as attractive as he did. He could feel the Dark Side enjoying his suffering.
���I did not adopt them,” he said stiffly. “They are mine.”
“In what sense? Yours as in you bought them, yours as in you took them off a dead body –”
“My inheritance.”
“No way,” Wei Wuxian said automatically. “Your forehead ribbon has clouds on it; that’s the main line, and I’ve seen the head of the order – well, from a distance, but those robes are just so white it’s impossible to mistake him – and he’s…he’s…actually, now that I think about it, he looks a lot like you.”
“My older brother,” Lan Wangji admitted, feeling the same pang of sorrow he always felt when he thought of Lan Xichen. “Biologically, as well as in the Force.”
“Wait,” Wei Wuxian said. “You’re literally a Lan? A born-into-the-order Lan? And you’re a Sith lord?!”
“Sith only,” Lan Wangji corrected. “There is no basis for the imposition of a class system –”
“Force, you even talk like a Lan,” Wei Wuxian marveled. “And you’re Zewu-jun’s brother? I didn’t even know he had a brother other than the one in seclusion, what’s his name, Hanguang-jun –”
Lan Wangji involuntarily winced.
Wei Wuxian’s jaw dropped. “You’re Hanguang-jun? The – no way. Everyone is always talking about how he’s like, the paragon Jedi…”
Lan Wangji shrugged and said nothing. He had been, once, or at least something close enough for people to mistake it.
Arrogance had always been the stepping-stone to disaster.
“What happened? What in the world could have made someone like you Fall? Or, uh, who, I guess, if it was a person?”
You, Lan Wangji thought helplessly, and the Dark Side pressed down on his chest, relishing his pain. You and me, in another world, in a vision of the future that I will never allow to come to pass –
“Unimportant,” he said. “It cannot be remedied.”
“Would you want it to be?” Wei Wuxian asked, his eyes bright, and Lan Wangji could see him starting to become curious – but that was unacceptable. Anyone in the world could be lured into a fall to the Dark Side except for Wei Wuxian.
There would be no Yiling Patriarch in this lifetime. Lan Wangji has sworn it.
Lan Wanji has Fallen for it.
“I know Chord Assassination,” he said instead, offering it as a distraction, and to his relief Wei Wuxian took the bait, chattering on about the famed Lan technique of using ‘strings’ created in the Force as a weapon and how it might be applied to their current Sarlac-related dilemma.
Once they escaped this place, Lan Wangji thought that it might be time to retreat into true seclusion once more – not the excuse that the Lan sect put about to keep the truth of what had happened to Hanguang-jun secret, but the true peace of meditation, of losing himself to the Force. It was not the way of the Dark Side, which put the emphasis on action, often reckless action, and on strong emotions, but despite having Fallen, Lan Wangji was in many ways still a Lan, thoughtful and restrained.
He wouldn’t still be wearing the forehead ribbon if he wasn’t.
It would be good for him, he thought. It would let him center himself, remember his purpose – not, as the Dark Side wished, the possessive hungry claiming sort of love that wracked his body every time he so much as glanced at Wei Wuxian (I want to bring someone back to Gusu, he told his brother in the hazy, dazed immediate aftermath of the future-sight that had led to his Fall, but I do not know if he would be willing), but his true purpose: to preserve Wei Wuxian’s happiness.
At the expense, if need be, of anyone and anything else.

If we're pulling from CQL, then Lan Yi could be LWJ's Master to be the counter point to Baoshan Sanren as the show made them friends who were diametrically opposite in their approaches to handling the Yin Iron. This also allows for the Lans closest to LWJ to not have to worry about the familial attachments interrupting the master/apprentice bond.
Additionally, the whole sensing emotions thing is canon. Jedi council has a while deal in the prequels about refusing to teach Anakin because "much anger in him there is" and they continue to caution him about his emotions all through his training that his master gave him after deciding he was gonna ignore the warning and train him anyway.
However, this leaves a third option for hilarity I'm how the two are treated:
Both wwx and lwj are treated by the council as if wwx is a constant risk and lwj isn't because both of them have learned to mask their emotions from being read by others, which is a skill Jedi and Sith can both learn as a way to help hide themselves from other force sensitives. They're both really good at it for different reasons and only thier masters are able to read them enough to know how bad or good they might be at any given time.
So picture this: wwx learns to mask his emotions much the same as he does in canon, where he feels things quite deeply and is even hurt by many things as all people are before his natural ability to just let go of it kicks in, but has to mask that reaction because his reacting 'badly' always causes the people he cares about to worry even though it never sticks. Eventually he's doing the masking out of habit and the council hasn't been able to genuinely read him in years so they can't tell if how genuine anything he does is and that often worries them due to his aforementioned habits and interests.
Meanwhile, lwj learns to mask his because his attachment to his mother was considered so disastrous - particularly upon her death - that for a while it was seriously discussed the possibility of removing him from training, and I doing so completely separating him from the rest of his family (brother and uncle) just because of the logistics of those in training/teachers living at the temple and non-jedis, well, not. So lwj after a few months begins to master the art of 'restraining' his emotions from being outwardly projected (hiding them without realizing that's what he's doing because as a 6yr old he's just trying to 'behave himself' and be 'good' in a way that will let him stay with those he loves). The council and most of his early teachers before a dedicated master/Padawan bond is formed take this ever-lessening outward emotional projection as the child having finally processed his grief and let go of it. His yearly visit to his mother's grave after that becomes seen as a respectful and appropriate honoring of her memory. Lwj strives to be the perfect student out of fear of loss of his family and learns to tightly restrain himself rather than let go but only his master has any inkling that he's more wound up than everyone else. Though his brother, as force siblings often have better insight into each other after being around each other for a decent amount of time, can usually tell when wangji is being more petulant or upset about something. Just never to the depths Lan Yi suspects.
This makes wwx and lwj's CR days really interesting because everyone has his picture of lwj being so detached from emotions (he's viewed as cold and unapproachable in canon) that he's basically reached his namesake of Wangji. And then this 'clearly' overly emotional and way too attached to worldly concerns and far too interested in dark side lore for his own good character comes along and starts making lwj crack.
His tightly controlled emotions don't exactly leak out, but he's showing them in his face which he hasn't for at least the last decade. And wwx is making lwj angry. The kid interest in all that sith stuff is provoking genuine anger and frustration in the ideal Jedi. The emotions that are the gateway to the dark side if not dealt with.
Wwx is just happy to get any reaction out of lwj because no one is devoid of emotions and it tells wwx that lwj is just as good as hiding his presence from the force as wwx is. wwx is delighted by this discovery and works to provoke as many emotions as possible because one he's fascinated by lwj's many emotions and two it keeps lwj's attention on him and wwx has never wanted someone else's attention so much before he needs to understand this strange prolonged emotional attachment he's feeling (he's never had romantic inclinations before so he doesn't recognize it in himself).
But from the outside it just looks like the sith wannabe is trying to tempt the ideal Jedi into falling with him. Most of the council know that's simplifying matters in an extreme way, but many Jedi and Padawan who are divorced from the situation and only see the 'confirmed troublemaker' getting the 'perfect student' emotionally compromised end up Concerned and Worried.
And are relieved when wwx leaves the temple for other training grounds.
Lan Yi, on the other hand is having to field lwj's sexual awakening, emotional distress over the hot Twink that made him feel things he's not supposed to feel and constantly hold back her very impulsive padawan from doing even more impulsive shit than he already does.
(As an aside, lwj is just as,if not more, impulsive than wwx is always made out to be. Sure wwx throws himself into trouble but it's often a calculated thing - even if the calculation is just 'ive survived something similar to this so I'm probably good'. Meanwhile lwj is just 'wants to do something, walks off and does it.' wants to try lotus seeds fresh from the pod, so walks off to find a farm and doesn't even do his research to know how far away they are, when thier public hours - If they even have them - are over, if they're okay with random ppl just asking to go and pick lotuses, if lotuses are even in season, or how to tell if the seed is ripe enough to eat yet. And that's not even getting into how he acts about when highly emotional - destroying other people's property, kissing blindfolded demonic cultivators, destroying trees, fighting 33 elders, etc etc. Lwj is the impulsive sort that acts before he thinks and then punished himself later - often whether he feels he was in the right or not, he will accept or give himself punishment for acting out against the rules and it's not until the 13yrs later that he's learned to relax a bit about it but yeah, lan Yi had to deal with tightly wound lwj and all his attachment issues)
In SW AU, Wangji's courtesy name was given by his master as a reminder of what he strives for. Wuxian's as an acknowledgement of what he'd achieved.
So I was thinking about Star Wars and The Untamed—as you do—and not to be like, “hot take,” but regardless of who went dark side in canon, Wei Wuxian would actually make a much, much better Jedi than Lan Wangji would.
#lwj being implusive is one of his defining traits and so ignored#because wwx seems to do more outrageous stuff#but wwx is rarely impulsive when you look at whats going on#take the fight with jzx that got the engagement broken up#wwx didn't puch jzx just because he was talking shit about jyl#he also did it because he took responsibility for doing stupid stuff jc could get in real trouble for doing#jc was going in for the punch too#so Wwx's had to land first#a lifetime of taling the blame and lessening the punishment for jc led to that#that's not impulse#thats training#self taught maybe but simething wwx actively started doing#which became part of the dynamic jc expected from them#and caused so many problems later when jc couldn't rely on wex being around anymore#anyway#lwj is implusive and this needs to be recognized

Let me crack my fingers-
So the thing about Jedi is they were described as empaths- some could even read thoughts if they were not careful. My theory was always that the reason the temple is so cut off and natural on Coruscant, a literal planet that is a city, is because younger Force users are unable to handle the stress and constant input of emotions and thoughts. It's why fics tend to also have such thing as mental shields and such.
The issue is, Star Wars canon tends to take its own facts and possibilities, crunch them, and leave them in the garbage pit to be crushed with the creature there.
So if you take the fact that shielding is a technique taught and trained so Jedi can handle and retract their abilities... you have both empathic abilities that assure everyone that Wei Wuxian is faaaar from the Darkside and has the best grasp of letting go of the negatives seen this side of the galaxy, and the fact that Lan WangJi is about to go through a HornyTM phase that will probably never end. With that, you also have them all shielding, and so a form of disconnect and worry.
You can also keep the part, if a fic was written, where WWX goes against the cultivation world and what it wants- he can defy orders, and the Jedi have to let him go because the Senate declare him a criminal for defying their orders. WWX would totally save a planet despite being told to return to Coruscant. Keeping this in mind, you can reflect on the fact that a lot of the problems in Star Wars canon were caused by the Jedi becoming beholden to the Senate- they listened to the Senate as a governing body because they did not wish to be a powerful group that everyone just. Feared. A Jedi is an army unto themselves. But in a sentient ruled government, they became dogs of the Republic- public opinion was heavily negative, and the Jedi lost their autonomy and their ability to do good in the universe when they were hunted for it.
Sounds sort of familiar, the whole public turning against an icon that simply wants to save people.
But gosh I love Star Wars aus in MDZS because it is so difficult to have WWX seem like a bad guy- he is going to be the star child of the Council. The worst patient of the Healers. The greatest academic to be both loved and hated by the Jedi in the archives.
LWJ is just. Everything everyone outside the order thinks of the Jedi. He appears cold, removed, the perfect ideal. Except he is a hot mess inside. And later years, he willingly goes along with whatever WWX suggests and everyone realizes this man is probably crazier than WWX.
But truly, I want A-Yuan. I want WWX coming back with youngling A-Yuan, who insists that WWX will be his teacher, and then WWX goes Sith temple hunting and ends up missing. LWJ, in an effort to preserve the last connection he has until he can find WWX, takes on Sizhui.
And then you just have co-Masters WWX and LWJ.
So I was thinking about Star Wars and The Untamed—as you do—and not to be like, “hot take,” but regardless of who went dark side in canon, Wei Wuxian would actually make a much, much better Jedi than Lan Wangji would.

Star Wars AU - Pt. 2
Having just finished watching TPM, I am really leaning towards the Lans being from Naboo - Naboo has also enough ponds, the general feel is that.
Also, the Lans would slay in Naboo fashion.
Yes, I am going to set the Lans from Naboo, the Jiangs can have Alderan.
THIS MEANS that LWJ meets WWX in one of the many occasions where senators have conferences and JFM and LQR are forced to interact - and I have set up also WangXian.
At this point Sith lord WRH finds out that WWX the Jedi has been hiding under his nose for years and decides to attack Alderan. Last minute: YZY chucks WWX, JC and JYL on a spaceship, sets the autopilot to the Outer Rim - they will land on Tattooine.
Anyway, Alderan gets destroyed, RIP JFM, YZY and everyone there.
This prompts the immediate response from Naboo, which means the Lans go against the Empire and WRH, sort of not really stopped by JGS, lays mayhem on Naboo. LQR manages to flee thanks to the Gungans, LXC is picked up by Meng Yao, a jack-of-all-trades à la Han Solo. LWJ is made prisoner by WRH and thrown in a cell in the Sith temple/headquarter.
JZX tries to convince his father to look for JYL, JC and WWX, but JGS really does not care, so JZX leaves Coruscant with his mother's blessings in a sort of mission to find the three - mostly for Yanli, cos Xuanli is true love and you can't convince me otherwise.
In the meanwhile, WWX, JC and JYL land on Tattooine and they get nearly ripped in shreds by the various crime bosses until two Mandalorians find them.
These Mandalorians are Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang. To them, the three are Foundlings - yes, they get informed that WWX is a Jedi and notoriously Mandos and Jedis DO NOT get along, but "you have the whole Empire on your neck, do you want to do something about that?"
And nothing. Sith Disciple Xue Yang gets sent to search WWX, but he gets wounded and ends up with blind Jedi XXC, SL and Force-sensitive a-Qing.
JZX, in the meantime, has nearly lost hope and hires NMJ the Mandalorian to find his betrothed.
Cue Xuanli reunion.
Cue everyone coming back to Coruscant and Xuanli wedding happening. You'd think that with JYL marrying the son of Senator JGS both JC and WWX would be safe. NOPE.
WWX discovers that LWJ is prisoner of the Sith. It doesn't matter that Naboo is safe again, that LXC has taken over the duties from his uncle and has Meng Yao as faithful counsellor - read that however you wish.
JC begs WWX not to go alone, but WWX is like "I am a Jedi, they are Sith, we both work with the Force and only I can do this, I promise not to go to the Dark Side, now please ChengCheng let me go and say hi to Shijie for me".
JC finally lets him go, but then WWX never comes back, Yanli is worried and it is not good because she is pregnant with baby JL. So JC promises her that he will bring back WWX and goes to NMJ.
JC asks NMJ to become a Mandalorian and NMJ accepts. JC fully embraces the Mando'a culture.
Yes, he has an awsome blaster called Sandu and he modifies his mother's weapon Zidian with Beskar.
Eventually WRH is defeated.
Eventually JC brings back to Coruscant WWX, LWJ and two Wens who never went to the Dark Side, WN and WQ.
At which point WWX, WN and WQ decide to go and travel to find the legendary Jedi Master Baoshan Sanren, in the hopes that they can find her, and possibly other Force sensitive people, to restart the Jedi order.
LWJ is safely escorted back to Naboo, not after promises of eternal love, because WangXian exists in all universes.
But things have just started. No one knows that JGS is plotting in the shadows.
MORE NOTES:
The Lans are from Naboo, the Jins from Coruscant, the Jiangs from Alderan, the Nie from Mandalor, the Wens from Mustafar
Star Wars AU - Pt. 1
Well my friends, the people have spoken!
I now have enough spoons to think about something.
So. Let's get out of the way some things.
Wen Ruohan, Wen Chao, Wen Xu and their goons are Sith
Jin Guangshan is viscid enough to be the equivalent of Chancellor Palpatine
The Nie are Mandalorian.
I still don't know where to place the Lan clan, suggestions welcome.
I am fully aware that everyone probably expects WWX/LWJ/JC to be somewhat like Obi Wan and Anakin, BUT that is NOT how things are going to be in my AU - also, there are plenty of those takes and I appreciate them all, but here things are going to go differently.
I will be modifying stuff to fit into a decent plot
This is all fanmade, also I am still learning all of the lore, so don't @ me thanks
So, WRH sends WZL to maul all remaining Jedis during the Fall of the Jedis. WWX is probably the only one managing to run away, somehow hides in a ship going to adestination as far away as possible from the Jedi and gets found by JFM, imperial senator, who is not immeditely aware that WWX is a Jedi.
JFM basically thinks, "Oh, lost kid, starved, wounded, no parents. Yeah, let's bring him home".
WWX is absolutely terrified of Droids and it just so happens that JC, JFM's son, has three Droids called Love, Princess and Jasmine. JFM deactivates them, sends them to be sold for parts and let's just say that it's going to be on JYL, JC's older sister, to flatten down the disagreements.
Once WWX feels a bit more comfortable, he starts doing his Jedi things for JC and JYL and when both JFM and YZY, JFM's wife, spot that, they react in a suboptimal way.
JFM: Oh, look,I now have a Jedi son, this is great, who cares if anyone discovers that.
YZY: YOU FOOL, YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING IMBECILE, YOU HAVE A SON ALREADY, WWX IS A NOBODY FROM AN ORDER THAT DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE AND IF THIS IS DISCOVERED WE ARE IN DANGER!
YZY to JC: YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN ANYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE!
YZY to WWX: YOU ARE NOTING BUT A LEFTOVER OF A PAST THAT DOESN'T EXIST, DON'T GET TOO HIGH ON THAT HORSE!
Once again the actual parent figure is JYL, who gets bethroted to JZX, JGS's son, by YZY because now that a JEDI is in the Jiang jurisdiction, she wants to have some sort of security/safety in case the Empire ruled by Sith Lord WRH decides to kill them.
I am stopping here because I have to think about the rest.
