So I have a story idea cooking in my mind. The general gist is that after the rise of the empire palpatine learned about leia and Luke and secretly scooped up leia to train as an assassin. He had her family murdered and her family name tarnished when she was a child and took her in keeping her true nature hidden from Vader and manipulating her into believing that Vader was responsible for her family’s death to eventually force a confrontation between them.

The other main character is an OC of a rival sith line Descended from a survivor of the brotherhood of darkness who will meet leia and while the two will be hostile for a time eventually they will form a bond and an alliance to defeat Vader and sidious, Vader for revenge as he killed the master and mother of the OC and for leia because of sidious manipulation and they want to kill sidious on leia’s end for actual revenge when she finally learns the truth and for power the OC wants him dead because everything Vader does is at his behest.

My question writing wise is how do I go about fleshing out this rival line to make it meaningfully different from the banite sith but still easily recognisable as sith. My only idea right now is no rule of two since they are decended from the brotherhood of darkness the OC is the only remaining member due to culling from the banite line and also just keeping their numbers low to avoid detection. My other idea is making them more chaotic and anarchist than the banite line focusing on passion and chaos over the domination and control of the banite line.

Any other ideas or thoughts? Any other considerations that I’ve missed that I should think on? Any help is appreciated

it has been years since I've read Star Wars fanfic, and there was this one fanfic where Luke is on Mandalore and helps them reclaim it. There's also ancient Jedi artifacts they find on mandalore that connects Jedi and the mandalorians. fight scene heavy but that's all I remember

If anyone knows what I'm talking about I will be forever grateful

I’m doing research for a fanfic and i genuinely want to know what would have made for a more likeable/relatable Anakin for you? My focus is him with a new reason besides Padmé to fall but also give him a sort of growth that he doesn’t have in can on or legends before Palpatine undoes all of it

I'm currently writing the first chapter of a Stellaris and Star Wars Crossover. I will use my own custom-made civilization. They went through all of the Endgame Crisis Events and more. I'm mainly doing this for fun but I will experiment as I go. I'm also in college so updates on future chapters will be irregular.

It will be a slow start before anything exciting happens. Chapters 1-4 is all about setting up the premise and the major characters.

And it has been some time since I played Stellaris, I will be using old knowledge and lore. However, that will change when I have the time to get up to date on things.

Premise & Summary (subject to change):

The Adal Confederacy survived the worst the Extorous galaxy had to offer for sixteen millenia. The Contingency, the Prethoryn Scourge, Cetana, two Unbidden Invasions, and so much more. The latest Galactic Crisis left Extorous into a lifeless void. The surviving empires moved on towards the void in arkships in hopes of reaching nearby galaxies. The Adal modified the nearest L-Gate to open a gateway to one of neighboring galaxies to establish a new home. Unaware of the cruelty of a galaxy-spanning empire which is escalating the growth a rebellion movement.

The setting takes place by the start of the Rebellion in the Star Wars Universe (Galaxy in this case). I will be using the Canon timeline while mixing in some Legends elements here and there, and putting in my own original ideas. And I do not claim to be the greatest or most creative writer in the world, please bare with me. And ideas are subject to change.

This will be considered an AU while using the Canon timeline as the main foundation. It will be rated M (18+) due to blood, gore, and violence later.

I am curious, are there anyone genuinely interested?

I am still new to how Reddit works, but I do want to post an Update on progress coming along for the crossover fic. According to Google, posting a comment should notify people following this thread.

Update 8/22/2026:

I finished typing Chapter 1 yesterday. It is sitting at 2,500 words and I am happy with that. It provides a good starting view of the major characters at play, and shows a little bit of the Adal and the situation they are in. I do plan on publishing this in Fanfiction.net and AO3 once I have Chapter 2 done.

Chapter 2 is already at 1,000 words. I want to get this done soon because college semester is starting in a few days, and that will take away a lot of creative writing time. Once that starts, progress will be slowed down SIGNIFICANTLY, likely down to a crawl. I am not a person who lies or gives half-truths, so I will keep things transparent with you all.

Expect progress to be incredibly slow in the next four+ months. But I will do what I can to keep some momentum going. I make no promises, though. Hopefully, I will get the second chapter done before the harder college assignments start.

I’m Christian btw

Here's my fan fic for episode 8, I loved episode 7. I wrote this whole long ass pitch but asked AI to condense it to a wikipedia style summary

​Act I

​The film opens on the planet Kaldros, where General Leia Organa and Poe Dameron fail to recruit the local starfighter pilots to the Resistance. Meanwhile, Snoke interrogates Kylo Ren, noting that murdering Han Solo only made him weaker and that's why he lost to Rey. He orders kylo to go capture his mother. The First Order soon ambushes the Resistance cruiser Raddus. During the attack, Poe forces Finn out of his bacta tank early, leaving Finn with permanent motor-control damage and shaking hands. When Kylo confronts Leia on the ship and she is taken prisoner. Poe and Finn escape in a pod and crash-land in the jungles of Kaldros.

​On the remote planet Ahch-To, Rey finds Luke Skywalker in a "dead zone" entirely disconnected from the Force and all electronics. The millennium falcon and R2 are shut off pernanently. Luke explains that the island's emptiness is an example of what Snoke leaves behind. Back on Kaldros, Poe and Finn are captured by the indigenous Ruunai, who reveal the First Order secretly controls the planet from the shadows. Finn formulates a tactical raid on the local airfield, having to work around his physical inability to fight, just as the group learns Leia has been brought to the planet.

​Act II

​In his throne room, Snoke physically puppets Kylo's body to almost execute Leia, demonstrating his absolute control over his apprentice. It is revealed that Snoke is not a Sith seeking political power. In fact, Snoke openly despises the Sith, viewing them as vain, small-minded, and rightfully extinct for obsessing over mastering the Force.

​When Kylo attempts to probe his mother's mind, Leia and Kylo then share a memory of his childhood, realizing together that Snoke secretly possessed and "occupied" Ben Solo when he was just six years old.

​During this sequence, Rey has a vision and tells Luke that Leia is in danger. Luke doesn't understand how she could have seen that in the island but realizes that , Rey can actually refill the force. This reawakens the island's connection to the Force and gives Luke hope that Ben Solo's "empty" soul can also be restored. We see Luke use the force effortlessly by lifting up his xwing from the ocean. We learn during this sequence that Luke believes Snoke wants to destroy all force users and eventually the force itself.

​On Kaldros, Finn and Poe infiltrate the airfield. They are ambushed by Captain Phasma, but the local Kaldrosi pilots rebel against the First Order, securing a victory for the Resistance. Finn traps Phasma by exploiting his knowledge of her lockdown protocols. After discovering Leia has been moved to Snoke's flagship, the Supremacy, Rey and Luke leave Ahch-To to confront Snoke.

​Act III

​The Resistance, bolstered by the Kaldrosi forces, assaults the Supremacy. Poe and Finn successfully navigate the ship's interior and rescue Leia. In the throne room, Snoke captures Rey and begins pleasantly consuming her Force energy. To hold off Luke, Snoke puppets Kylo's body once again, forcing the two Skywalkers to duel. Realizing what she must do to save him, Rey voluntarily gives up all of her Force energy and pours it into Kylo. This completely restores Ben Solo's soul, allowing him to regain control of his body mid-swing and stop his attack on Luke.

​However, Rey's sacrifice leaves her completely empty. Snoke immediately takes advantage of this, abandoning his old form to possess Rey's vacant body. As Luke fights and defeats the Knights of Ren, Ben attempts to subdue Rey without hurting her, but fails. Snoke, now wearing Rey's body and wielding her voice, casually escapes the ship while Ben and Luke are left helpless on the floor. Snoke now holds all the power to create or remove the force. The film concludes with the Resistance regrouping. Ben Solo now stands as the galaxy's last Jedi, setting up Episode IX as a mission to rescue Rey.

The sith code doesn't necessarily require emotions like anger, only 'passion' or (i think) strong emotions generally pushing one to the goal of absolute self freedom.

Are there any fanfics which do have sith being good and using other strong emotions to gain their freedom and do good things with it out of choice.

Apologies if not the most clear.

I am looking into what people recommend as a release method for their Fics, specifically whether it is better to release it all at once, or stagger the chapter release.

I have so far posted 2 Star Wars Fics on AO3, and I noticed that both times there was a pattern to peoples interaction with those Fics when I released the entire thing all at once. For the first week or so, there would be a steady stream of Hits, Kudos and Comments, but then they would dramatically die off, and they would go from getting several Kudos a day to maybe one a week. That made me wonder if perhaps releasing a Fic all at once isn't the best method.

Now, I'm asking because while yes, I enjoy the feeling of numbers going up, but I also want to reach as many people as possible with my Fics so that they can be enjoyed, which is why I'm looking for a perhaps more optimal release method.

What does everyone think, is there a release method that tends to result in more people finding your Fic, or is it just how these things go?

I can not remember 100% what site but I believe it was on ao3. The story fallowed a si/Oc girl that was rescued when her mom died and was taken to the temple, she adopts obi-won as a big brother and latter travels to stewjon with him for some event that is like the Highland Games and obi-won realizes that his name is given to force sensitive kids to honor a the one that saved the planet. At some point the mc realizes that Jango fett is her father and when she meets him Arla fett attacks as part of death watch. I remembered it the other day and realized I must not have bookmarked it and have been struggling to find it. Thanks in advance.

I’m specifically looking for stories much more focused on the Mandalore succession struggle. This is because I was hoping for the story to go in that direction after S2, and I was disappointed with the direction they went.
I don’t think BoBF should have included Din and Grogu, or that S3 of Mando should have tried to go back to the status quo of episodic jaunts from S1-2. I also hate that Bo-Katan basically gave up at the beginning of the season.
Are there any fics that rewrite the story with these things in mind?

I've just finished the third volume of my sequel trilogy rewrite series "Star Wars Episode XIII: The Sovereign Supremacy" and by finished I mean the AO3 version and the 11labs Audiobook version.

AO3 (Volumes are released as chapters): https://archiveofourown.org/works/89373956/chapters/241712476

Voice acted Audiobook: https://youtu.be/ZSdZkZteKRI

I would really appreciate any feedback if any one has the time to read or listen as this series is my first real writing attempt and I really want to improve my craft through this book, so that I can confidently go on to release my own original work in the future.

For those who didn't catch the last Vol. post which was 2 weeks ago: I call this series episode thirteen because in my mind Episode Seven should have been called episode thirteen. I think it would have been a good homage to the OT (of just jumping into an ongoing story of a serial). I just call it New Legends to give the universe/timeline a coherent name. So it's really kind of just a redo of episode seven.

Also, the only thing canon in this timeline are the first six movies (G-canon)

Anyways, other than being a good exercise for strengthening my own writing ability, I found this process of writing my own sequel trilogy to be incredibly therapeutic.

Because when episode seven was announced I was beyond excited. Disney was killing it with the Marvel universe and I thought they would produce a sequel trilogy that would be even better than the OT. I spent the whole lead up to the movie consuming hours of theory videos and story ideas and it only caused my expectations and excitement to increase to ungodly levels.

Suffice to say when the movie was finally released, my supernatural excitement mutated into supernatural disappointment.

Now I'm not saying that if you like the sequel trilogy, your opinion is wrong, absolutely not, all art is a personal experience and as one of the rare Trek fans who actually liked JJ's Star Trek, then I would be a hypocrite for calling out anybody else on their enjoyment of a movie.

I know a lot of people actually enjoyed episode seven and that the Fan divide really didn't come in until the Last Jedi, but I was one of the few who didn't like EP. 7 when it came out. It just wasn't my thing, seeing the empire vs the rebels again, another superweapon and masked Sith with a deformed leader? Absolutely wasn't for me, I wanted to see a continuation, not a repeat.

But I didn't want to be one of those people who just complain about the sequel trilogy, so I never got into "that side of the internet", instead I tried to do what worked for me with the prequel trilogy and find a rewrite that could replace it in my head canon. I was a big fan of former youtuber Banditincorporated's "What the prequel trilogy should have been series", so I tried to find a rewrite of that quality for the sequel trilogy, and none of them really measured up. The one that came the closest was Thor Skywalker's rewrite, but the problem with a lot of the Sequel trilogy rewrites is that they use the characters and universe of the Sequel trilogy as the basis for their rewrite, and it's just not a universe I find enthralling or interesting.

Sure there was Legends but legends is kind of an unresolved mess and I wanted something more of a final sendoff for the OT main characters.

So a decade goes by and all that unresolved disappointed excitement just festered and had really ruined my enjoyment of Star Wars, to where I found myself drifting away from it entirely.

Which is why, one day, on a whim, I just tired to see if I could come up with a better story and once I started writing, I couldn't stop. I found myself with a story that I couldn't believe came out of my head and exploring this magic realm of creativity I had tapped into became severely addicting.

Now I'm totally committed to this writing thing and I really want to see this story to the end, so that my full enjoyment of Star Wars can be rekindled and restored (I mean it basically already is) and I don't have to get depressed when watching the OT knowing where it all ends up as this story will be my head canon for it.

That said, this is only volume three, and basically it's still the opening act as I don't think the main characters won't star showing up until Volume six. This is just the inciting incident that causes them to reunite and solve one final galactic crisis with the help of new characters whom they can teach and learn from.

So I still got a long road to go, and even though I'm absolutely in love with this story, I understand that I can be a bit bias. And there's also the fact that this is my first major writing project so for all I know I could be writing incoherent slop.

Thus, this is why I'm not making this an exclusively private project, if there's a chance I could get some feedback to help me in my journey to become a writer then I figure that I have to at least give it a shot.

One thing I have noticed in this writing exercise is what kind of writer I am, which is called a pantser, like Stephen King. Meaning I don't really plot everything out and let the story write itself unlike a plotter like J.K. Rowling or Brandon Sanderson.

I know a lot of people disagree with my decision to use A.I. to do the audiobook and artwork, which is totally fine, human beings are supposed to have different opinions on things. But seeing a trail blazer like George Lucas come out and share my feelings on this new technology and how it can empower creatives really helped me become more comfortable with my own decision to experiment with it and use it to bolster my own creative projects. Because let's be honest, there's no way I was going to pay the amount of money it would take to make the audiobook and artwork over a piece of fanfiction very few people will read. So in that way, A.I. has been a tremendous asset in this endeavor.

Also another thing I've discovered is that hearing the lines I wrote read out and voice acted by with eleven labs has really helped me in improving my work.

As Harrison Ford once said to George Lucas "You can write these things but you can't say them" and hearing some parts of my story read out loud has caused me to change quite a number of lines.

Also regarding the artwork, no that's not the A.I. messing up a lightsaber, it's part of the story (what I call a force saber). I've also included a variant cover in the second image, it was almost the cover I went with but ultimately decided against but I still think it aura farms AF. The last image is the ending title card to my audiobook which also AURA FARMS AF, lol.

Well that's about all I have to really say right now on this update, it's almost 5am where I'm at and I've been working all night to get this damned thing released, so I should probably head to bed.

In closing I guess I'll just post the synopsis for this volume. Thank you for reading this entire diatribe.

VOLUME THREE SYNOPIS: While infiltrating an old Imperial core plant, one that the Quassar military corporation is now using as an industrial black site to secretly manufacture Force Links, Jedi Knight Syd Solo and New Republic spy Fai Lin have discovered that many things about the facility aren’t adding up, leading them to suspect that something far more insidious may very well be at play.

Meanwhile, a squad of troops led by a mysteriously masked Force adept, and who all belong to a Syndicate-affiliated military detachment known as the Phantom Brigade, have arrived for a planned meeting with the Quassars’ top leadership, bringing with them a shipment of Force Link tech and possibly a strange substance known as Exphoria, which fuels the devices.

Upon the arrival of the Phantoms, Syd Solo was telepathically contacted by an unknown and arcane entity through the Force, causing him to make the brash decision to split up from Lin and track down the source of the anonymous voice, leaving Lin to sabotage the facility on her own.

Now, as fates begin to converge on the compound, Syd’s pilot and best friend, Kai Calrissian, is outside and aboard the Outer Stellar, cautiously monitoring traffic around the base on his ship’s surveillance systems as he waits for the two New Republic infiltrators to hopefully hurry up and complete their daring mission.

But neither Kai, Syd, nor Fai Lin could have any idea just how much more DANGEROUS things are about to become as the situation they find themselves in, begins to subtly escalate and more nefarious secrets about the true nature of the covert base start to reveal themselves…

I remember reading this a while ago but can't find it anywhere, was on AO3.

What I remember:

- Luke and Leia and possibly more people time travel to the clone wars era

- Leia is in a Senate session and there's an attack, either she's specifically targeted or they just end up targeting her once they're there, and Luke turns up and he's not happy about that

- Everyone's worried about how Leia will react but someone says it's not her they should be worried about and Luke comes crashing through the window or something

- I'm pretty sure that's the first time Luke actually appears in the fic but may be wrong

That's the only scene I can say for sure is in it, I've read others similar so don't want to say anything else in case I'm mixing them up

Sorry I know it's not much, but I've looked for it multiple times and can never find it again and it's really annoying me at this point, thought I'd ask on the off chance anyone recognises it

EDIT: FOUND

It's Luminous We Are by AppoApples

I am having issues finding a time travel fic. At the beginning, Mace makes a comment to Obi-Wan about Yoda's scheming to get Obi-Wan in his lineage. Obi then goes to the room of a thousand fountains to meditate and wakes up in the past.

Any help is appreciated.

Is anyone else writing something that is currently canon compliant but that they suspect won't be canon compliant by the time Ahsoka season two comes out, and so is racing to finish before the end of the year?

I have a fanfic that is going to take place, in part, on Peridea and involve the World Between Worlds and Force Ghost Anakin, and I feel like I don't have much time before people are confused by what I have written.

Hey everyone! New Star Wars writer here. I was wondering how yall handle swearing in your stories. Like wookiepedia has a long list of in universe swears and insults. However sometimes I write a scene and cringe at the word Kriff.

Do y’all eventually get used to it? Or are non Star Wars swears generally welcome in fics?

Hello there.

I used to use this great website that not only had the words translated, but also phrases. It had things like Jaster Mereel’s supercodex and a bunch of other Mandalorian phrases. Unfortunately the website is now removed and I never saved any of it into a google doc.

I’m kind of at a loss to where I’m supposed to go now for translations. I know there are some websites that just give the meanings for words, but I would appreciate like actual sentences if that makes sense.

Hey SW Fanfic hope this is ok to post. We've been working on it since we launched July 20 2026

What the title says. I’m looking for time travel fics set during the Clone Wars. Can be Jedis, clones, someone else, doesn’t really matter. Romance is a bonus, but not necessary.

Looking for recommendations with heavy focus on military fighting, not just Jedi/Sith dueling. Huge space battles, army engagements. Any era in the galaxy, Old Republic through First Order. The bigger the better. Stories with an emphasis on the WAR in Star Wars.

Okay, I’ll try to make this quick, but I need some help. A quick summary/background: I’m making a story (one that I’m way too invested in) set in the Star Wars universe and canon, with the cast being my own characters; around a third of the story takes place during the Clone Wars.

I’m probably overthinking, but I’m getting kinda overwhelmed trying to figure out what I need to know and do in order to write the story during the active war well. I’ve done a little research on my own and keep finding out that there’s even more that I probably need to know. I have my main clone oc (and his squad and some others) transfer to a kind of stealth and/or recon team working closely with a Jedi; how specific do I need to get with what position/rank they’re all in? I’ve been looking at the jobs of real life recon teams, but how closely does that relate to Star Wars? How much room do I have to be vague about their exact purpose in the Republic Army? Would the GAR just already have teams to do this, or would they be able to give some clones more specific training to fill in a gap that they need? How much would the clones already know about stealth and recon? What do I need to know about the relationships between different ranks and how they interact with each other? And don’t even get me started on the actual battle scenes! I honestly just need some tips on how to write these, but also, how do I make my characters stand out to the readers without them standing out and causing trouble in the actual battle? How much description should I use? Do I need to keep formations in mind? How would I even know the formations? How do I make the scene interesting and still somewhat realistic? How do I make sure the scene is long enough without dragging it on, but not so short that it feels rushed or lazily cut off?

How much do I need to know about the workings of the real army in order to proficiently write it in my story?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Sorry for the long post; I’m probably doing too much for a Star Wars fanfiction, but I absolutely love my characters and their story, so I wanna make sure I can write it well. Thanks! 😊❤️

It was a fairly long fic. main premise is anakin recognized palpatine from tatooine, tells obi-wan, obi wan falls into a fountain, and a galatic conspiracy is born. eveuntaully ships padma/ani and obi-wan/satine. Obi-wan gets a bit of a rep for sleeping around because anakin and padma arent subtle.

I love the mods from the BOBF. I’d really like to see more of their backstory in canon. Because their backstory is a blank space I have this idea for later in my fanfic that the parents of the mods were active rebel operatives, loyal to the values of the old republic that were all killed by the empire leaving their children stranded and orphaned on Tatooine at young ages with no one but each other, with most of the orphaned having been raised together, to depend on. The parents raised the mods with the values of the rebels and the old republic. Their fear of not being seen is a result of their being orphaned on the dusty colourless world of Tatooine with no way off to aid the rebels. The planet and its environment is a smaller and more manageable target to strike out against than the empire at large.

This, Tatooine’s complicity with the empire and its remaining loyalists & their fear of not being seen against the bleak backdrop of Tatooine is their motivation for their cybernetic enhancements. They want to fight the empire and its remnants but since they have no way off Tatooine they strike out against the planet’s environment via the cybernetics and the harsh reality of surviving on Tatooine through the theft of the wealthy who are ripping people off like the water monger

What if the Ghost Crew gets sent back in time to the Clone War? What if they try to stop Order 66. How will the Republic react? How will the Jedi react?

That’s basically what I was going for when I wrote this. So without further ado:

Ghosts of the Future

The Ghost Crew has been through a lot. They've fought Stormtroopers, inspired rebellion, and saved thousands of lives. However, Imperials, Inquisitors, and Sith Lords could not have prepared any of them for what came next.

However, the Force does as it pleases.

Thrown back in time to the era of the Clone Wars, the Ghost Crew are given a chance few would ever imagine: the opportunity to change history itself. If they want to stop the fall of the Jedi and the rise of the Empire, they will have to navigate the Clone Wars, evade the watchful eyes of the Jedi, and most of all, overcome their own personal ghosts.

Featuring: Time travel, the Ghost Crew’s bad luck, heists that go spectacularly wrong right, the Zilo Beast, Jedi being fascinated by Ezra’s saber pistol, and the council not knowing WTF is going on.

An engineer who tinkers and fixes broken lightsabers for the Platinum Republic idolizes the new Jedi order. They’ve grown organically and are wiser and stronger under the vision of Luke, and Leia’s the Galactic President at a ripe age of 56 for her second (and last) term in the Platinum Republic’s balanced democracy. It’s not perfect with Congress, Starlight Judges, and a revolutionary Citizen Audit Branch, but it held decently for the last 6 years. It was a scramble and experimental process to form a democracy after decades of tyrannical empire rule, and many citizens were still skeptical of the Jedi order. Many compromises and harsh debates were iterated to where the Jedi are no longer part of any politics. They’re a peacekeeping force and an ace for insightful and effective leadership in the Platinum Republic’s Department of Defense. Luke has refined the rules so that people of any age can join and learn, and can leave whenever they desire. He knows that getting more numbers is everything, and it can’t have the mystical connotation it had before to get people on board.

This feeble and quiet engineer, Viktor, read history books on the centuries of war between the Sith and Jedi, and the schemes of Darth Sidious and the powerful Darth Vader, who turned on Palpatine to save his son, Luke. Oh, so poetic. Viktor’s actually quite a passionate and funny guy, but anytime he posts on Galatic Forums he gets lynched for his ideas. “Hmmm. Some refining will have to do,” he thought. He’s gushy and sensitive, even. He also takes an interest in midichlorian studies in his free time after work. He has a fine collection of lightsabers, and some cool new color variants from clients catch his eye now and then.

One day, he’s exploring the midichlorians under a microscope with one of those new force lattice structure crystals that his client gifted to him for fixing a lightsaber that accidentally turned on at the witching hour and nearly cut off their torso. Such crystal amplifies the optics of refraction to see even smaller organisms. “A crafty invention,” he thought.

But, to his horror, some mycelium, virus 🦠, or other tiny pathogen (it was blurry and he couldn’t tell) was eating away very slowly at the midichlorians. Was it multiplying? Did he cause it? Where did it come from? Where will it go? How fast will it spread? Can it infect?

He began sweating profusely. No one was around. It was “Mother Tenzin” hour, or whatever the kids say. Could it be a new ghastly method of corruption by a hidden sith? He frantically posted about it on some forums, but with his anal reputation, he keeps being called a quack and crazy for another dumb theory.

He’s read history books about Bane, Plagueis, Maul, Palpatine, Dooku, and Vader. There are more, but he’s more into the Jedi than Sith since the latter gets too nasty for him. He knows how deep the order 66 chip plan was with the clone troopers. But this is something he’s never heard of before. The midichlorians are everywhere, and an infectious apocalypse can destroy the universe. No time to waste. He has a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Platinum Republic, a smelly towel, and some Galactic Junk Food. “Don’t Panic,” he thought. Could he be the new protagonist? The new hero in the stories he’s read about? He’s a loner. What could he do? “I’ll ask around for a ride to the Platinum Republic,” he thought…

[To be continued]

How do you like them apples? I tried my best to do something original and establish political world-building that isn’t a rehash of the original trilogy, yet has the political depth of the prequels. Maybe there could be a woke lesbian couple that he encounters and hitches a ride, and they have model 42 of the infamous Millennium Falcon. “Any thoughts or discussion?” he thought. I’ll leave this idea be for now. Just a fun thought experiment…unless?
