I love shades of gray. Good person in a bad situation? Bad person slowly becoming good? Generally bad guy who sometimes has second thoughts about his life? Usually good gal who sometimes kicks puppies? Bring it on!

Long or short, even incomplete is fine. I'm not looking for a story where sex is the focus, though it happening is okay if there's also plot going on.

What would be the best fighting style with a double bladed lightsaber?

If I Knew then What I Know Now (Nothing Would Be the Same) by muse_writer

I read these and they have put me in the mood for stories around Anakin Skwalker with alot of focus on slave culture and the worldbuilding around it.

Also Stories where Anakin and Vader occupy one body (either by time shenanigans or split personalities) and Anakin struggles to keep Vader leashed while trying not to crash out from the unfair situations he finds himself in.

Supportive dad Obi-wan is always greatly appreciated. 😊

hi! I am trying to look for this fanfic i read awhile ago on AO3 about the Jedi and clones planning to flee coruscant after finding out about the control chips however they have to leave the Coruscant guard clones behind for their plan to work. there’s one scene I remember where the Jedi broadcast different funerals around the galaxy to mourn the clones on the holonet? I have looked EVERYWHERE for this fic and I cannot find it at all. any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a huge Jedi fan, and I'm trying to find long fics that show the Jedi as the good guys without bashing or criticizing their culture or practices. I'm okay with them making mistakes (what good person doesn't?), but if they do, then they need to be in-character, and they need to be actually wrong. For example, kicking Ahsoka out of the Order wasn't a mistake because it was a natural consequence of her running from the authorities and working with a known terrorist before being found with the supplies that bombed the temple. They had to turn her over to the Senate because there was ample evidence, and any trial would reek of corruption if they ran it. The decision makes sense, and it's the correct one, even if it was painful for Ahsoka (who, ironically, was unwilling to see her own culpability in what happened).

A few additions:

1. I am not a Mandalorian fan, so I'm not all that interested in stories where Jedi are basically adopted by Mandalorians (frankly, any story that glorifies the Mandalorians and Jango Fett is probably getting an eye-roll from me).
2. I'm not opposed to romance, but I am leery of it. Like, I'll read it because I recognize that most people are too romance-focused to not include it, but I prefer when it isn't the focus.
   • Caveat: I'm not at all interested in stories where masters and their (former) padawans are at all romantic. While the Jedi don't typically subscribe to typical family dynamics, these are still the people who raised them, so there will always be an uncomfortable power dynamic there that I just find skeevy.
3. I'll be honest: I'm not Anakin's biggest fan. By which I mean I'm a certified Anakin hater. Again, it's not a deal-breaker, but I'd love it if the story addresses Anakin's many, many shortcomings (and if the Tusken Massacre occurred, then it would be great if he faced proper consequences for mass murder).

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. It's hard to be a Jedi fan when so much of the fan content is trying to bash them.

Fic was on ao3

Luke Skywalker/Din Djarin

• It was in a modern setting

• Luke was in an abusive relationship - I don't remember with who - and there was a wildfire that was nearing their house.

• Luke decided it was now or never, called boyfriend, broke up with him and left. Possibly using wildfire to make people think he's dead.

• Meets Din and Grogu in Mountain town?

And that's what I remember of it. Thanks for any help.

I'm aware that this post may or may not violate rule 5 as while it is unprompted self promotion, it is not promoting a fanfic.

Some fanfic writers, myself being one of them, like to incorporate world-building into their fanfics.

Back in 2022, a reddit user that time has forgotten created r/ FanficWorldbuilding. The subreddit has struggled since it's creation and presently has a small number of members and very little interaction on submitted posts. I am hoping to improve that.

For anyone who may be unsure as to what Fanfic Worldbuilding is, let me provide an example:

Say you are writing or have written a Star Wars fanfic and you want to talk about an original character, starship, planet and/or general storyline that you've come up with. r/ FanficWorldbuilding is the place to do that.

Basically, anything that is allowed on the worldbuilding subreddits is allowed on r/ FanficWorldbuilding as long as it is fan-fiction in nature.

In this fic, Obiwan was an Omega who became pregnant by Jango, who had lost his way. Obiwan later raised her children at the Jedi Temple while forming good relationships with the other Mandos in Little Keldabe, and Armorer even adopted him.

Then Jango and Myles or silas went there and no one knew whı they were except the armorer and Jango tried to fix things between him and Obiwan so he can be in the childrens lifes and be a good leader.

Do you have any AO3 recs where Luke is on the dark side of the force/on the side of the empire because he was raised by Vador ?

It seems that all ''Luke raised by Vador'' fics are just about kid Luke, but I want teenager/young adult Luke being on the dark side and he can either shift or stay on it I don't really care. I don't mind if there's some chapters about Vador raising kid Luke, it's cute, just not the whole story

Fan Fiction de la serie Clone Rebellion.

Estoy empezando a editar, darme sus ideas y les diré las que tengo actualmente:

Gobernador Tarkin como villano principal

2 temporadas con 16 capítulos

Cad Bane el cazarrecompensas que causará problemas.

El lote malo y la rebelión clon juntos.

Rex viajando al planeta agrícola donde dejó a Ahsoka para llegar a la conclusión de que esté muerta

I’m noticing that the more I plot this canon divergent scenario for Anakin that I’m actually deconstructing him as a character. Both the psychology enthusiast and the Star Wars fan in me are geeking out every time I do deep dives into his trauma and insecurities. I’ve always loved the Star Wars what if videos on YouTube but I never thought I would do anything like it. My research on Anakin’s unique psychology profile has lead to some surprising conclusions on what could’ve been different if completely new variables had been introduced that essentially makes his outward facing canon and legends volatility impossible, creating a new drive to tame it and allowing the traumas and insecurities to take a new form

From what I gather this is one of those stories that spawns many AUs of AUs so I don't know if I've ever seen the original.

Also from some of the AUs I've seen it might involve some pretty dark stuff.

General themes seem to be Mandalorians integrating the Jedi, either collectively or individually into their own culture, with the tone of it not being strictly voluntary.

Dark themes like brainwashing is not my cup of tea. So I wanted to see what it was actually about before risking it.

This is a drawing I've made about some of the coolest aliens in the saga. It depicts some of the Gungan military during the Empire era and their armament ( anti blaster shield, electric spear, atlatl with bomb, grenade launcher and blaster). I've also added a text that explains why the Gungans should have been working with the Empire down below. It's a bit long but the concept behind it is pretty cool

According to the Star Wars canon and not the Star Wars movies in particular, the Gungans on Naboo were treated as savages by the Empire and they were forced to hide and fight for their lives while being hunted down ruthlessly. I've added some paragraphers so it's easier to read

I) Gungans and Naboo

In my opinion this story is cool but it's not the coolest or the most logical one that could have happened. In the movies we see that the Gungans had left their isolationism after the victory against the droids of Trade Federation. They marched on the capital city of Theed, they declared a peace with the people of Naboo and they started to become very important in the Galactic politics thanks to Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar became one of the most valuable allies of the chancellor Palpatine. And the Gungan people became very friendly with the Republic. While the other people of Naboo didn't have a real army and they were peaceful

II) Why shouldn't the Empire hunt the Gungans?

Then the Republic became the Empire and the chancellor became the Emperor. The transformation of an institution of a galactic scale that relied almost entirely on diplomacy and on influencing just 5 people per planet or system is extremely risky and it can lead to a total collapse. The galaxy is enormous and most of the systems were administrating themselves on anything without consulting the Republic. Because realistically speaking it could have been impossible and anti-democratic if it were the contrary. So the new born Empire would have had a lot of problems and the gap between formally controlling a planet and actually doing it could have been extremely significant for most planets. So why should the Empire turn on their closest allies when they are full of enemies and disobedient systems? Moreover a galactic civil war against the most powerful financial enitities of the galaxy had ended without a treaty, without regaining control of the renegade systems and without restoring the finances. And according to the prequel trilogy there are other armies of both clones and droids that weren't showed. In this climate it's not wise to create unnecessary powerful enemies like the Gungans. The Naboo reign fell to the Trade Federation massive army in no time. On the other hand the Gungans resisted, hid and fought till they were victorious. Each Gungan is way stronger than the average human and their technology isn't primitive at all. On the contrary it's very effective againsts blasters and even against heavy artillery. They can't fight in space but if the Empire needed to exterminate them it needed to bomb the entire peaceful planet of Naboo because fighting them by land in their land and seas could have been very very unsuccesfull

III)The power of the Gungans

The Gungans were friends of the Republic and its leaderships. They had a strong adaptive military that had no match in the planet, the same planet they protected and that loved them. Naboo was very democratic but the Gungans were not and their spokeman Jar Jar Binks had a face known to the entire galaxy. While the senator Amidala had died and the Naboo queen's power was temporary and simbolic Jar Jar Binks and Boss Nass, the chief of the Gungans, had never been stronger. Moreover their army was powerful but it depended on a well defined chain of command and on a couple of key figures. The same went for their people, if one had commanded their leaders he could have commanded the entire population without many issues. So is it wise to attack the Gungan if one can control them easily and he can use them to control the rest of the planet without firing once? The Empire could have integrated them while manipulating a few powerful figures

IV)Peacekeepers' tasks

I've written a lot but this was for explaining the integration of the Gungans in the Imperial security forces on the planet of Naboo. I can imagine a lot of important tasks for these Imperial Gungans. They can monitor every inch of the planet, they can share very important military technologic knowledge, they can suppress any popular revolt thanks to their armament and physical build and they can even train special Empire troops in melee combat, the Gungans can literally transform a massive gunfight into an hand-to-hand combat situation

Hello there! General Kenobi!

I started working on my first SW fanfic, and I just posted chapter 2 of it.

The premise is pretty simple. the MC awakens memories from his past life and has to survive. The hard par is that is complementary cheat is loced away until he does something impressive, whatever that may be.

The MC starts at the Jedi temple as a Youngling, slightly older than Ahsoka, and without spoiling too much, the core focus of the fic will be on the MC becoming as good of a general as he can, while trying to make sure he lives through the inevitable Order 66.

Without spoiling too much, his stubborn cheat power is supposed to be a system that will be focused on making him better leader instead of making numbers go up. Yes, he will get some buffs to himself, too, but the core feature is to make him basically RTS commander.

Any thoughts on the premise?

I'm not sure if I can post links here, so if you're interested, I'll link the story in the comments.

All I really remember is that:
- it is part of a collection
- the Jedi move out and lock up the temple on coruscant
- they go back to an old temple location in part of space that is really dangerous to travel through
- the Jedi are no longer part of the republic
- in one section of the collection some Jedi like the agri corps are willing to go out and help part of the galaxy again
- the clones are dechipped

I’ve literally gone through four years of ao3 history and couldn’t find it.

I’ve been building a ChatGPT that simulates an Imperial Navy operating alongside Disney canon. Instead of cinematic roleplay, it focuses on logistics, command, bureaucracy, and day-to-day fleet operations. Still tweaking it, but if your audience enjoys Generation Tech’s style of Star Wars worldbuilding, they might have fun with it.

Estou querendo escrever uma História do Darth Vader/ Anakin Skywalker se passando em algum período importante da Velha república. Como caracterização: ele é o anakin Skywalker, com o rosto curada, apenas uma cicatriz no olho direito, olhos azuis, e cabelos castanhas que ele tinha. Ele ja esta curada de seus ferimentos. Ele nunca perdeu os 4 membros, apenas o ante-braço direito, tem o torso repleto de cicatrizes de queimaduras, e seu ante-braço direito robotico nao foi período por Dooku, mas sim por obiwan em mustafar. Ele ainda usa a armadura por nao acreditar que merece ser visto pelo mundo. Apesar da caracterização mais humana, Esse Vader tem a mesma personalidade de Return of The Jedi; Um Vader/ anakin poderoso, cansado e conflituoso. Tenho algumas ideias de Períodos para inserir ele é gostaria de ouvir sugestões.

- A Guerra Civil Jedi: ~3950 ABY

- A Grande Guerra Galática ~3681-3653 ABY

- E a Guerra Jedi-Sith ~1000

i love fics that have worldbuilding especially in regards to the force, ancient force sects, and niche force abilities

I think I'm expecting too much of myself tbh. It's a short fanfic, not a novel or movie. No matter what I write, readers will either agree with it or not.

I mustn't get bogged down in the technicalities of one character or chapter. Just write what I think works and move on.

Thank you for the comments. :-)
____________________________________

I'm in the middle of posting my fanfic and am tweaking the pivotal chapter, which has Anakin standing at the window in the Council Chamber, whilst Mace Windu and others are off to face Palpatine. When I finish making changes, I re-read the chapter, but I'm never happy with it.

I've watched videos on YT psycho-analysing him and had friends read the chapter, but even they can't agree on what it is that's missing.

I appreciate pre-fall Anakin is extremely hard to nail, so am I just trying too hard? Maybe he can never be written in a way that feels right for everyone?

I want this chapter to hit right and for his dialogue & actions to be believable. But should I stop worrying so much? As long as there is a 'flavour' of pre-fall Anakin, that is all that is needed?

Anyone else had the same problems?

Han Solo not as a disreputable smuggler, but as a space/star wars flavored Professor/Archaeologist/adventurer. Where the Galactic Empire is even more Nazi inspired.

Still, like Indy, a sceptic about the supernatural yet gets caught up with Luke (and possibly Leia, should you want to make her legacy more prevalent too) and the Force.

Have multiple Jedi/Sith/Force artifacts getting found.

Really great moment from a fic I wrote for a friend based on his starwars dnd character, and I wanted to share it because I’m kinda proud of the ending I gave the character! Comments and critiques are welcome!

“This was the end of it all. All the work. All the pain. The suffering. The struggling. The hope.

But it wasn’t all bad. Not in the slightest. He’d done the impossible, in the face of causality so extreme it bound fate to the rails inexorably, he’d changed the course of the story.

The order was still broken, thousands dead in the past hour alone, but it would survive.

He’d gotten most of the service corps evacuated, the archives and the vaults were already off planet (or destroyed beyond recovery) and on their way to the Refuge. The younglings, Cin Drallig, and over 200 other Jedi were already out of the temple and en route to escape. The Antarian Rangers were withdrawing in good order.

There were still almost a thousand knights and Padawans in the temple but it would have to be enough. He could hear the tramp of Armorplas boots coming up the steps even from this distance. The LAATs were circling and the hanger bays were already a smoking ruin.

He set the final demolition charge on the recall beacon and left a 5 second timer before dashing for the council chambers and the grandmasters offices.

All that was left was the finale…….

Orrus Kadyrn took a brief moment to meditate, to let the melancholic light of the force wash through him and steel him for what must come next. His aches and bruises faded, and his soul felt at peace. The warm fire of joy that had dimmed so very low in the face of the coming night flared again into joyous light. All that was left was the beauty of the world, and the joy of the next fight. Nothing more.

He had never won against Anakin. Not once. Not in over a hundred duels. His best effort saw him get 2 touches to Anakins 3 over the course of 18 minutes. Nearly a temple record for anyone facing Anakin as a knight. Only Obiwan and Master Windu had done better.

As the sound of screams and blaster fire echoed towards him, he stood and doffed the long robes he’d worn for over 2 decades. He folded them carefully and laid them aside near the door before drawing his saber. Brilliant emerald, deeper and richer in hue than it had ever shone before, flared into life.

The door detonated inwards with an echoing crash and there stood Vader.

“Hiding like a coward Master?” Snarled Vader flourishing the blue blade.

Even from here Orrus could feel the crystal crying in anguish through the force.

“Never hiding, friend, but always working.”

“Friend!?!” Roared Anakin “You don’t get to claim that title Battlemaster, not when you agreed to keep me from what I deserved, what I needed”

“It wouldn’t have changed anything Anakin. You never practiced the healers arts, and visions are ever fickle. But we have discussed this before. Now I think, we have but one last dance. Shall we?”

“Let’s.”

And thus to his doom strode Jedi Battlemaster Orrus Kadyr, Guardian of the Order, Jedi Master.

—————

It would be decades before the data recorder was ever found, but it answered questions that had long plagued many in the Rebellion and even in the reborn Jedi Order.

No one was ever sure what took Vader so long to clear the temple. Only that what should have taken an evening took far longer. Long enough that the survivors of the order managed to flee into the depths of the Unknown regions with their knowledge and lore. Long enough that a Senator from Naboo delivered her children in the relative safety of a medical frigate on its way out of the Core.

Long enough.

When the recorder was found, barely functioning and layered with dust, its memory was still intact. It was a recording of that final duel in the temple. In the High Council chambers.

17 hours 21 minutes and 41 seconds. He fought Darth Vader, Lord of the Sith, to a standstill for nearly 18 hours. Wounded. Bleeding. Missing half a foot, and an arm. Smiling. Even after being impaled through the heart.

The longest duel ever recorded against Darth Vader. Score stood 19 wounds to 23.

A statue was raised on the planet that became known as Haven, depicting a laughing young man watching the stars, smiling.”
