![]() ![]() ![]() Glad to see Leia stay true to her real parents, the Organas. Unfortunately for Vader he doesn't just get to have a change of heart and everything becomes alright. I never really believed in the Vader redemption at the end of Return of the Jedi. A quarter century of being an atrocity committing monster doesn't get washed away just because he decided to save his own son at the last minute. It always struck me as terribly unjust that he got to become a force ghost when he had absolutely earned a place in hell. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Dom would he proud of you. Anything for family |
![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve spent the last two days reading this and I’m in love! Freaking adore this story. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This was one fun fic to read! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Your take on Padme's death is interesting. My personal head cannon is that Palpatine reached out to her with the Force and willing or unwilling took her life energy to save Vader. Personally I'd like to believe it was willingly. |
![]() ![]() ![]() GAH! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Sigh...I hate it when people complain about stuff I already know. I've written a Buffy fanfiction where Xander gets Peggy Sued and someone was complaining that I wasn't sticking to the canon villians. If I was going to do THAT I wouldn't have bothered writing the story and just rewatched the show. |
![]() ![]() ![]() The pain of facing the wrongs you've done. And knowing there is NO way you can truly make amends. That is what Vader is facing right now. He's made his choice, the only thing left is to join the Luke and the Rebels. |
![]() ![]() ![]() My favorite part is how nobody ever explains anything to Han. |
![]() ![]() ![]() okay confused here |
![]() ![]() ![]() thats not how balance works though |
![]() ![]() ![]() yeah sorry but sidious is pretty powerful, but i dont think it would take both anakin and luke to fight him, tbh |
![]() ![]() ![]() first off, luke being on par with vader only makes sense if the suit weakens vader, luke isn't the most powerful jedi ever, thats pretty stupid, tbh, and two no, bail organa was a child stealing thief, who arranged it so that a young girl and a young boy would commit patricide, just because he didn't like the way life turned out |
![]() ![]() ![]() When I first started reading this story, and understood the premise, I immediately thought, "Oh, this is an interesting concept. I wonder what Vader will do after Palpatine is defeated." Because of course, the natural reason you would have Vader waver early is so that he didn't die at Palpatine's hand at the last moment. But I'm glad this was different. I was never quite satisfied with the ending of Star Wars, despite loving the movies. (For various reasons it would take a long time to explain.) And you basically rewrote the rest of the story in a way that kept a much, much more powerful theme, and was much better at conveying what the Force actually was. (And the real Light Side. Not the "can't kill, ever" or "can't feel, ever" versions which are commonly thought of as true. At least among people who have only seen the movies.) I could very, very easily see this as a full replacement of Star Wars canon. Certainly my own headcanon. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is an amazing start for sure, I just had to share that I only just noticed that Darth Vader's hyperbaric chamber is an actual real-life thing. A thing I've been in before. With so many futuristic pseudo-scientific terms in most sci-fi, I completely neglected to even consider that older medical things might still be relevant. And it isn't even like they only used it because it sounded cool, either - it would be the legitimate way to have Vader be able to breathe unaided. |
