The Youngest Skywalker

A New Threat

AUTHOR'S NOTE: The following chapters will be from Noah's point of view up until Kyra shows up on Takodana. Thank you so much for reading this fanfic!

If anyone had told Kyra that she would be a General, a Jedi Master and a positive political influence in the New Galactic Senate 30 years ago, she would have said that they were crazy. But now, here she was 30 years and two more kids later, doing exactly that.

Kyra had not changed since the Empire had been toppled, save for just one thin graying strand of curly hair. Her mullet had long been grown out. Now it was down to her waist. She was still toned, agile and sprightly for someone her age, and at 53, people saw her as one of the wisest and kindest people they've met.

Noah had changed slightly, he was still slender, but his curly hair had undergone a texture change. It was now salt and pepper gray, cut short and wavy, parted on the left side of his head.

Ani and Norah Banai, babies when the Empire was toppled, now were grown up with families of their own. Anakin had married Madison, Lizzie's only daughter, and together they had a girl named Leela, after Noah's mother. Leela was now 10. Norah had a partner named Alyssa, and at first, Noah was a bit uncomfortable with the idea of his daughter dating someone of the same gender, but with time and reasoning from Kyra herself, he got used to it.

Kyra had two more kids. 15 year old Identical twin girls named Shmi and Ahsoka. Shmi was the spitting image of her grandfather with sandy blonde hair with her grandmother's warm brown eyes. Ahsoka seemed to be the image of her great-grandmother Shmi Skywalker with her late paternal grandfather's green eyes.

Kyra's grandparents were long gone now, but she still held her memories of them close to her heart.

Kris had married and had a son and daughter who were both teenagers.

As for her brother and sister, they had changed slightly but not really. For one of them, it was drastic. Leia and Han since after the Battle of Endor had a child named Ben, who had jet black tousled hair to his shoulders. As a child, he was sent to train with his uncle, but six years before, he had turned against his uncle and came under the alias of Kylo Ren and destroyed the New Jedi Order. Kyra had seen it coming and got her youngest daughters and her granddaughter away from the Jedi Temple, and just in time. Since then, she took it upon herself to train her younger ones on her own with help from her father's ghost.

Luke had trained these young Jedi and after Ben had slaughtered them, he went into self-imposed exile, feeling responsible.

Now six years later, nothing had changed. But the Rebel Alliance had changed and so did the Empire. The Rebel Alliance was now known as The Resistance, while from the ashes of the Empire, the First Order rose, bent on spreading fear and hate across the galaxy.

Noah knew this to be true. Yet here he was on a backwater planet called Jakku with his older son and daughter, set to pose as scavengers. First they needed to find something of great importance to Leia. He and his children had traveled with a young pilot named Poe Dameron and a droid named BB-8 to acquire the one thing that could find Luke. A map to where he might be, and they had to get it before the First Order did.

"This will begin to make things right." An old man named Lor-San Tekka said. He gave the map to Poe. "I've traveled too far and seen too much to ignore the despair in the Galaxy. Without the Jedi, there can be no balance in the Force."

"Too true. We need to find him now." Noah nodded in agreement. "My wife would say the same thing."

"All because of you, now we have a chance." Poe smiled. "The General's been after this a long time."
