What if Shmi Skywalker never died? What if Anakin Skywalker never turned to the Dark Side? What events do we have the power to change, and what's set in stone? How would the galaxy heal from the Clone Wars? How would the fallen Jedi Order and the corrupt Republic reform? This story is an AU scenario written by an artist who wanted to explain her alternate ending art with a story that grew to take on a mind of its own. TW: this story is PG-13. There are graphic descriptions of violence, death, murder, terrorism, and mild swearing. Read at your own discretion. You can find my art @cat_does_the_arts on Instagram :)

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. . . It's been 19 years since the Clone Wars came to an end upon the defeat of Darth Sidious by Anakin Skywalker. With Senator Padme Amidalla taking his place as chancellor, and the Jedi Order being turned over to Ahsoka Tano, the galaxy has enjoyed nearly 2 decades of peace and prosperity. As padawans Leia Amidala and Luke Skywalker approach knighthood, something sinister is stirring in the galaxy. Unrest is growing within the senate and the AmidalaSkywalker family has found themselves right in the epicenter of the storm. Deceit and distrust rip open rifts long thought healed, and as the machinations of the Sith boil to the surface, Luke and Leia must ask themselves, who's the enemy? The gray Jedi Anakin Skywalker will have to confront reality, would he let the world burn to save his family? This story is a sequel to Star Wars: The Good Ending, where Anakin had been able to save his mother in time, and the ripple effects show a very different story.

RANKED #1 IN ANAKIN 9/11/18 RANKED #1 IN KENOBI 3/18/19 (Cover made by @la-la-lara ) Denali Bleway was a young girl when she became a Padawan. After joining her brother's bounty hunter gang and training for a future filled with blood-stained credits, she was pulled away by the Jedi when they found out she was Force-Sensitive and on the path headed anywhere but the light. She willingly went with the Jedi and received four years of training. After becoming Master Kit Fisto's padawan, she and her master were recruited to join Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi on a mission to negotiate with the Trade Federation about a blockade on a distant planet. What happens when things spiral out of control for Denali, both mentally and emotionally? What happens when she begins to develop feelings for Padawan Kenobi, and he falls in love with her as well?
