Something that has been plagueing me for years (at eighteen months, that is)

I once read a SW fic, AU-ish, that had Emperor Luke Skywalker succeeding the recently departed Emperor Vader and receiving an "ambassador" from the Rebel Alliance in the form of Mara Jade.

It was, by all means, not an action-y fic, more of a socio-political piece as Luke (very slowly) works through Mara Jade's onion-like layers of distrust to show her both his and his father's plan - partially subverting the fascist Empire from within to combat the inevitable onset of stagnation by opening political negotiations w/the Rebels.

And that'S the last piece I remember, about halfway through the fic, then my firefox crashed and lost all tabs / bookmarks, and I never found it again.

Thanks to both of you. I swear, TFF is the kind of place where you can ask for a fic based on "She had red socks, and in the end they were buying a pair of ducks" and people would still find a link to it.

Considering that would be relatively unique, no problem anticipated.

made a topic for this but figured i might post it here as well.

Story starts when child luke and lea go to coruscant. Luke for a school trip that the school funds and leia for a political meeting.

Luke's aunt and uncle die in a car crash and luke goes to the hospital. Leia goes to a meeting where Vader goes as well. Eventually vader makes the connection and donates blood for luke.

It has over a hundred chapters I think and is complete. I am really out of luck in locating this one

Anyone know a story where Luke is raised by Tusken Raiders. I already read Tatooinian Sunset but there is another I believe.

The nurse nodded in understanding and proceeded to withdraw more blood. "Do you know the boy, sir?" she asked, unable to suppress her curiosity any longer.

"I believe he is my son," Vader replied.

The nurse looked up at him in undisguised shock. "Your son?" she asked.
Closing tab at the speed of light ftw.
 
TheRealThing has a problem with rehashing the same plots over and over for his stories, just changing the starting point. But no matter what the story was he went and got Vader out of his suit as soon as possible.

His stories are alright, but if you've read one of them you've probably read them all.

Does Vader turn around and choke her to death in the next paragraph?

If he doesn't, I'm not going to read it.

This has been on my favourites for ages and I forgot about it until I recently watched the prequal trilogy again and really want some new Star Wars fics to entertain me. Basically it follows the AU happenings of Jango and Boba Fett during the prequal eras. Been an age since I read it but it was one of my favourites back in the day and maybe some of you'll like it as well.

Besides that, has anyone else found any promising new Star Wars fics not already recommended? Cheers,

Can anybody recommend a fic with a badass Light side Luke? Preferably something that focuses on action and adventure.

I've trawled through ff.net, but most fics are either some kind of romance-y "pair Luke off with a girl who is just PERFECT for him because he TOTALLY deserves that" type or so full of angst and whiny little emo kid Luke it's not funny.

Sadly I can't think of any thing. <_<

For its popularity, fan base and the large wealth of material there is surprisingly little star wars fanfiction, even less good.

It's because everyone who writes Star Wars fanfiction likes Star Wars too much to leave out all of the shitty and terrible parts.

In other words, Star Wars fanfiction writers love to write about emotions, angst, and the hippy spiritual bullshit that was so prevalent in the terrible prequels instead of the adventure, comedy, and fun that made Star Wars so great in the first place.

I seem to remember a certain fic which had this conversation, basically, it's a rewrite of Phantom Menace... with a Hot-Blooded Qui-Gon Jinn. Or something like that.

"Obi-Wan, I'm sending you the data now."

"Very well, Master."

<A few paragraphs>

"Obi-Wan?"

"Yes, Master?"

"What do the Midichlorians say about his power level?"

"...Do I have to say it?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"You have no say in this."

<mumbling>

"What was that?"

<more mumbling>

"You have to say it louder."

<beat>

"IT'S OVER 9000!!!!"

"ROFLMAO"
A bit of a Necro, but where did you find this? It's like Darths and Droids, but with just Qui-Gon being all gung-ho.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of, to make this not a pointless necro, I will contribute something myself.

While not exactly fanfiction in the sense we all know it as, I recommend the hilarious <a href='http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0001.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Darths and Droids.</a> Basically it's a webcomic that has screenshots from the saga with captions. In short, it's "what if Star Wars was actually a D&D game?

The creators are planning on going thorugh all six episodes, and are nearing the end/middle-end of the third prequel.

Much better than it sounds, I assure you.

Anyone know of any Wraith Squadron stories of decent length, including at least one proper Zany Scheme?

There are two Obiwan goes back in time fics that I'm looking for. The one I'm looking for specifically had Obiwan give himself, QuiGon, and Anakin a vacation using his old Jedi MAster codes at the end of the fic. That one has been completed.

The other: Obiwan has just begun his padawan training and is not even close to being Quigon's padawan.

Anyone know them?

No idea about number two, but the holidays ending fic is with all certainty <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3054756/1/Shadows_of_the_Future' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Shadows of the Future</a>. Nice fic. Should reread it one of these years.

I think I've read the second, or at least started to, but now I can't remember where I've seen it, apart from 'probably in FF.net's Star Wars section', which doesn't exactly narrow it down. Drawing a blank on the author and title, as well.

EDIT: According to FF.net, there are 4,272 Star Wars fics in English, where Obiwan is listed as a central character. I'm hoping someone else will know where the second one is in better detail.
