Star Wars AU #4: Three Skywalkers & An Absolute Metric Shit-ton of Kyber

SO I’m sitting here thinking about that one scene in Episode IV where Vader, Luke, and Leia are all in the same room together for a very brief minute - the only time in the series

You’ve probably seen the joke where Obi-wan just fucking dies rather than deal with that

You know what other powerhouse was there? Besides the son and twin grandkids of the force? 

AN INSANE AMOUNT OF SEMI-SENTIENT KYBER CRYSTALS 

I’m head cannoning that Kyber crystals use the Jedi as much as the other way around- but sometimes that balance is thrown off 

And you better believe these crystals are pissed off about the whole death star thing 

So the Kyber takes the opportunity its been given just yoinks the force through our resident overly force-sensitive suckers

And goes home to Illum, bringing a A Sith Lord, A Princess, and A Moisture Farmer along for the ride

On the surface, Fairly-Recently-Traumatized-and-Knighted Obi-Wan Kenobi is escorting a bunch of ten year olds (including young Anakin Skywalker!) on their first gathering

They are shocked when a rainfall of kyber crystals and three humanoids tumble from the sky. 

26 year old Knight Kenobi is pretty sure this doesn’t usually happen, but he’s a relatively new single dad, what does he know about anything.

None of that time traveler disorientation- our future three were one with the force and the force with them- they know exactly where they are and what just happened, though they’re still processing how to deal

Vader recovers first and briefly tries to kill his child self (that’s the bastard who killed my wife!)

Young Obi-Wan steps in the way telling Anakin and the others to get back. 

Vader is mostly toying with him- after all, he knows everything about how Kenobi fights, and Obi-Wan knows nothing amount him

Luke puts 1 and 1 and 1 together - Time Travel plus Jedi plus ‘Anakin’

"My name is Luke Skywalker and You’re not killing my father a second time YAAAA” comes charging in with the Skywalker lightsaber

This, naturally, distracts Vader long enough for Leia to shoot him right in the respirator

Wounded, Vader retreats to the ship. The Jedi Gathering Ship oh shit

Strands them all there and oh boy is that awkward. 

They all get rescued pretty quickly- I figure some other Jedis felt whatever crazy nonsense just happened (100 credits this is somehow Skywalkers fault. Ha, no bet.)

And wow does everyone have a lot of questions and wow do Luke and Leia have the answers to pretty much none of them

Meanwhile Vader is having a fucking meltdown fixing up his cyborg body because he’s 31 years in the past

His wife is alive! but she’s also 15 years old which um…he’s a lot of things but a perv isn’t one of them

His son is alive! But he has no empire to keep him safe with and the second Palpatine finds out he’s going to try and eliminate them because the mention of ‘Emperor Palpatine’ is way too big a threat to sith plans and aw hell no that is not happening

Luke and Leia get taken back to the temple and Luke tells them the blatant lies old Ben told him which makes Obi-Wan… go lie down for a minute 

Young Anakin thinks the whole thing is pretty wizard because he has a time traveling son now!

Leia tells them that Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is actually a terrifying Sith lord who wiped out the entire Jedi Order and subjugated the galaxy (because she actually had an honest education)

Which no one wants to deal with, i mean, we asked, but we do not like that answer

The high council is still debating several hours later and Luke is growing mixed feelings about the awesome Jedi thing, because on one hand, they’ve been repeating themselves for a while, and on another, *J*E*D*I  T*E*M*P*L*E 

Leia is working on sending an encrypted message to Senator Antilles from alderann if she can just get another minute alone

news breaks that an Asthmatic Sith Cyborg just assassinated the Chancellor in front of the Entire Senate and also the Chancellor shot lightning??out of his hands??and exploded when he died?can the Jedi plz help?!??

“Killed the Master, the Apprentice has” Yoda says and everyone nods gravely

There is a lot of chaos in the republic as some of Palpatine’s Sith Spite bombs unleash a bit of chaos, but overall, he really didn’t have that much time to abuse his poser- and his apprentice situation was at a low ebb

The council is concerned about this future Sith Lord last seen in a ship heading towards Serrano but

The force feels…lighter somehow? As though…the galaxy was filled with… A New Hope
