Luke Skywalker, the Last Jedi, faces his toughest challenge yet. To rebuild the Jedi Order, he must give up his personal hopes and dreams. Every move is critiqued by not only the New Republic Senate but also the Force-ghost Jedi Council of the past. His sister's tumultuous marriage and unplanned pregnancy, disillusionment with the Jedi Code, and a sinister Empire that will not admit defeat all compound as Luke establishes the Jedi Academy. Join him as he battles the darkness within himself, discovers the origins of the Jedi, and fulfills his destiny pursuing compassion above all else. The one thing that a Jedi is forbidden may be the only thing that saves him and the galaxy. (A fan reboot set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens in the tradition and style of the Original Trilogy.) TRIGGER WARNINGS: Luke suffers from PTSD after the Emperor's Force-lightning attack, which is limited to his reliving the experience. There is discussion about past history for a few characters in slavery and ensuing abuse, but nothing in real time and nothing graphic. The focus is on healing.

Luke and Naluma have had a rough year, but their Force-bonded love has gotten them through the death of a student a few months earlier. However, Luke's worried about Naluma, who is trapped at the Jedi Academy with two dozen Padawan driving her crazy in the dead of winter. He surprises her with a long-overdue vacation for just the two of them, the first one in the four years they've known each other. However, their idyllic love is tested when Luke refuses to give Naluma what she desperately desires: a child of their own. When the Force gets involved, the couple learns that imposing the words of man on the will of the supreme power in the galaxy is never going to work--and the Force plays dirty when accomplishing its will. Luke and Naluma don't stand a chance. This isn't going to go the way they think. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Open Novella Contest 2021 Entry Prompt #17 Your main character is in an idyllic relationship. Your task?

SEQUEL TO _Star Wars: The Jedi Reborn_ https://www.wattpad.com/story/82693228-star-wars-the-jedi-reborn- Eleven years have passed since The Battle of Endor, and ten since The Battle of Jakku. With the discovery of _The Journal of the Whills_, an ancient book that records the early days of the Jedi Order, Luke Skywalker has rewritten the Jedi Code and eliminated some of the more recent additions to the Order's traditions, including excising the non-attachment clause. Luke and Naluma find that the Jedi Code isn't the only thing that has changed. With the addition of Ben Solo to the Jedi Academy, what was once relative peace and tranquility on their hidden planet in Wild Space has now become a bastion for the dark side. Meanwhile, the First Order bites off chunks of the New Republic, one system at a time, as Supreme Leader Snoke plans his ultimate take-over to liquidate the entire Jedi Order. This story picks up 18 hours after the end of _The Jedi Reborn_. 1st place: Fanfiction - The Glam Awards 1st place: Fanfiction - The Majestic Awards 2nd place: Best of the Beginners (all genres) - The Bibliophile Awards Cover by: FayLane

[WATTYS2018 LONGLIST!] [FEATURED AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2018] Editor: @MichaelHoliday For the first time since the Battle of Endor, the Ewoks have invited the Republic back to their tiny moon to celebrate Independence Day. Much of the Republic delight at the chance to visit this proscribed location that was the turning point in the Rebellion. The Ewoks have sent missives across the galaxy to all tribal members. Reuniting the wayward tribe proves difficult: Luke's wife Naluma is about to deliver their first child, Han and Chewie are on a "trading mission" for dubious clients, and Leia is protecting a young girl from a great evil in the galaxy. The youngest member of the tribe, Ben Solo, struggles with his parents' separation, the injuries sustained on a training mission months earlier, and the burgeoning darkness within him. But a Force-ghost has been manipulating the proceedings, bringing his family together once again on Endor. Is he in time to save his lost grandson? And who's the girl?

He knew her. Beru. Vader knelt down next to her, using his cape to quell the bleeding from the boy's arm. Vader looked at the boy through his red lenses, sensing something he had never felt before. He should know this boy. He felt a connection. Owen broke past the stormtroopers who were now guarding the door to the headquarters, but they detained him before he reached Vader. "Let go of me. That's my son! Let go of me." Owen broke free and ran toward Vader. Vader turned just as Owen reached him, grabbing him with the Force by his neck and lifting Owen above him. Vader recognized him. "You!" Vader yelled. Something within Vader caused him to look back at the boy, and then to both Owen and Beru. There was no way that boy was theirs. There was no similarity. "You lie!"
