My father, do not get me started on that man.  He was the Revanchist, the Prodigal Knight, hero of the Republic.  Someone any of their citizens would be proud of.  But I am not one of them. I was there when he 'freed' them of the Mandalorian terror.  Those terrors were the ones who raised me, taught me the art of war, the thrill of battle.  When I turned of age he reclaimed me and forced his twisted Jedi ideals upon me.   Codes of peace and serenity, what did he even know of those.  He led armies into war!  Rebelled against his own Order long before the Mandalorians came.  He loved my mother, a Sith who was brainwashed into becoming a Jedi.  She forged him into the man of legend. She created their Revan, just as she led him to something greater.  But years after the war he betrayed us, he tarnished our families name and crushed Marcia's dreams while I fought for mine and endured. Now is the time to exact my revenge.

STAR WARS: Against the Odds by ItsEasyBreezy

Vella Delaba had been raised as a peacekeeper, a knight. But by necessity, she'd become a warrior and had fought in many wars. She'd been a padawan in the Clone Wars and had joined in the battle against the tyrannical Empire. But no matter how many fights she came back from, she was never prepared for what she'd lose. The Jedi had been slandered, their once loved name became mud beneath a blurrgs feet. She had fought battles civilians couldn't and was now branded a traitor. Her past haunted her. The Jedi haunted her. The Force haunted her. But no matter how much she ran, it always caught up. The Galactic Republic was long gone, the Jedi were dead, even the Empire had been defeated. She'd lived through all of it, all because she'd ignored and hidden one of the most important things about her. The war was over, the Rebellion had won, the Empire was gone. So why was she still struggling to find where she fit in the mix of it? She was a Jedi. Where did a Jedi fit into a galaxy that hadn't seen one for nearly thirty years? Against the Odds, and quite surprisingly, she found she fit quite nicely with a Mandalorian and a small child. Even if the Baby is the only one to figure that out yet. --------- HI IM BREEZY!! I've written this. I did this. It took me three years but it's finally finished and I'm SO excited to finally share it with you!! Hope you love it as much as I do!!! This is UPDATED!! There were a few things I didn't like character-wise so I cleaned it up a little. Hope you enjoy!!! Cover art by Crisys27 on Instagram! Go check them out their art is AMAZING!!

Clones by secret_jedi

Clone Order 66 was the time when all Jedi died. All the Knights, padawans, and children of the force, dead. All but one, me. The clones killed them all. Every clone turned. All except three, Gregor, Rex, and Wolffe. My best friend was among the ones who turned. His name was Jack. After he shot down my master, I fled. I left with the three clones still on my side. I never wanted to see Jack again. I'm an untrained Jedi, without a master, running from the Sith that want me dead. How did this happen? My parents disappeared and my sister died in an explosion caused by the republic forces, almost 10 years ago! I thought I'd never see any of them again, I was wrong. During an un-planned rescue, I learned of a message from an old Jedi master. I regret my instant reaction to the instructions I was given. I've been told poems that don't make any sense by ghosts. Don't call me insane, I know I am. One of them drills into me and I can't get it out. The ghost had told me, they loved droids so much, they became one. I don't know who they are? Me? Let's hope not. I then heard a strange, mechanical sounding, yet familiar voice from the bushes around me. "It's not." She answered. "It's me."

Star Wars: Revenge of the Betrayed (Male Sith OC) by TheElderDragon98

In the aftermath of the Clone Wars and the deaths of Count Dooku and the Separatist Leaders, a shutdown signal was sent to all Battle Droids units throughout the Galaxy, effectively putting an end to the Clone Wars. In addition, the Galactic Republic was reorganised into the First Galactic Empire, and Chancellor Palpatine, who is actually the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, establishes himself as Emperor, putting an end to democracy and creating a new era of fear, corruption and tyranny that would last over a decade. Unknown to Palpatine, one large squadron of Battle Droids was able to resist the shutdown signal. In the possibility that Palpatine would betray him, Count Dooku instructed his secret apprentice, Jack Trevelyan, to oversee a contingency plan, to reconstruct the Droid Army and a secret project: Project Rebirth. Hidden in a secret facility on the remote planet, Virmire, located in the Unknown Regions. Jack had his Tactical Droid, Axiom, oversee the reproduction of the Droid Army and Project Rebirth and enters cryo-stasis to preserve his youth, reawakening once the time comes. In time, the Confederacy of Independent Systems will return to resume its original purpose: free the Galaxy from the corruption of the Republic, now the Empire.

Vengeance: A Sith's Story (Male Sith OC x Star Wars) by Bourbon56

BOOK 1 ~~~~~~~~~ #1 in Republic #1 in Sidious #1 in Mothertalzin ~~~~~~~~~ "The Force is a pathway to two sides my dear. One is light, one is dark. Balance is a tender thing and so where there is light, there must be darkness....my darkness." Once, the mighty Sith empire stood strong and unopposed, only being threatened by the corrupt, arrogant, Jedi Order. Darth Malidictus was the apprentice, of Darth Vitiate, and was the heir to the Sith empire as a whole. But where his master saw strength, he saw cruelty, and malice. It was safe to say, that whilst he did follow the Sith way, he didn't support his emperor's attitude to the empire, which was often with an iron fist. After a horrendous attack by the Jedi on a sacred burial ground, Malidictus and his master face one another, after Vitiate perceived his students tactics as cowardice, and tries to execute him for it. But, after a nasty explosion, Malidictus is frozen in Carbonate, and three thousand years later....he is freed, and once he learns of the empire's fall, his ideals and goals, change. What will he do when he gains an apprentice, and focuses on reforming the once, great, empire? WARNING!! -Detailed and graphic scenes of Violence and Gore -Detail of torture and barbaric treatment -Detailed chapters of Trauma, depression, and a number of other things (I will put a warning up at the top of these chapters as well) - A LOT of bad language (star wars bad language at least) I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS, IT ALL BELONGS TO LUCASFILMS AND DISNEY

Raised alongside Anakin, their bond grows not from affection but survival: a counterfeit kind of love forged in dust, pain, and shared abandonment. When she's dragged into the hollow sanctity of the Jedi Order, Kamaria begins her slow unraveling obsessed not with truth, but with control. Love, to her, becomes a performance. Devotion, a mask. The Force, a joke she learns to recite in temple halls. As her path circles Anakin again and again two doomed stars in a rigged constellation they cling to each other like addicts. What began as something pure curdles into obsession, betrayal, and something darker neither of them can name. Their connection is no longer salvation it's blasphemy with a heartbeat.

Ancient Memories (Male Jedi OC x Star Wars) by Bourbon56

"My lineage is a well known one, for both good and bad reasons. But I don't let it define me." "That is an admirable quality Ratheon. But unfortunately, certain Council Members will always see you as a dangerous man." "Then that is their mistake to make. My blood does not define me, but it does give me guidance. I may be descended from a powerful Sith Lord, but I am also, a Jedi Master's Son. Satele Shan's, Son." ~~~~~~~ The Old Republic. An age where when danger and mystery was at every turn. But the most common thing that the Old Republic was known for, was the constant battle between Light, and Dark. Satele Shan, Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, and a devout Jedi. Born as a descendant of Revan and Bastilla Shan, she carved out her path as a true Jedi, one that would strive to serve the Galaxy, like all Jedi should. But what if, she had a Padawan? And what if that Padawan...was her Son? Ratheon Shan... Like his Mother, Ratheon was a devout Jedi, and served the Jedi Order with unwavering loyalty, and especially, the cause that his Mother drilled into him when he was a mere child? After the attack on the Jedi Temple by the fierce Sith Lord, Darth Malgus, and his subsequent defeat on Alderaan, the Sith Empire ramped up their attacks on both the Jedi, and the Republic. As such, Satele chose to both safeguard the order, and save her Son. Freezing him in Carbonite, the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order believed that no matter what happened, her Son would safeguard the Jedi Order they had both sworn to protect, through his unique, and rather..."grey", attitude... But before he was frozen, Ratheon revealed to his Mother...that he had a son, and that he wished to adopt a new last name, that last name that he had chosen for his son. The name in question? Skywalker... ~~~~~~~~~~ AGAIN, NOTHING BELONGS TO ME EXCEPT MY OC CHARACTERS.

Heart of The Force (Darth Revan x Star Wars Rebels) by Bourbon56

"I have done...terrible things, my apprentice. I was once a Jedi, then I was a Sith. Now...I am just Revan. I can finally see what I am..." "But...Master, you have taught me so much! I have seen you do amazing things!" "Ezra. Even the most amazing things...can come from the darkest of people..." ~~~~~~~~ Darth Revan. A former Jedi turned Sith Lord, who was turned into what he was by Vitiate, alongside his closest companion Alak, now known as Darth Malak. Lord Revan was the architect of many great and terrifying feats, such as the use of the Mass Shadow Generator against the Mandalorians during the Mandalorian Wars, and also killing Mandalore The Ultimate before hiding Mandalore's Mask so no one could take up the mantle of Mand'alore again. But behind it all, Revan's goals, however misguided they were, were in the name of the Republic which he sought to protect, even if it meant starting a Jedi Civil War, with him and Malak leading an Empire. But what would happen, if Darth Revan...faced Darth Sidious and the Empire? What if the fierce Sith Lord was somehow transported from his own time, before Malak's betrayal and Bastilla Shan's capture of him, to the time...of the Rebellion and the Ghost Crew? Darth Revan is many things. A great strategist, a genius on the battlefield, a former Jedi, a Sith Lord, a warrior, and an intelligent, pragmatic being above all else. But what if he was to be taken away from Vitiate's influence and his own era? What would the effects be on his damaged mind? And what kind of a teacher would he be...to Ezra Bridger?... The Heart of The Force beats loud and clear. And Darth Revan...IS that beating heart... ~~~~~~~~~~~ I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, ALL RIGHTS GO TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS.

True Passion (Male Sith OC x Ahsoka Tano) by Bourbon56

"I see no lies other than the Jedi lies that you have engulfed yourself in. I am no longer blinded by them. This is who I am now, a warrior for the Dark side, for the RIGHT side of this war." "But you seem to remember the feelings you had for me when we were both young Jax. That little boy that I met on my first day in the temple isn't gone,as long as you continue to hold onto those feelings," "He is to me. I'm scared that those feelings are just illusions Soka. I don't want them to be that. I want them to be real, as real as I believe them to be." ~~~~~~~~~~ The Clone wars have begun, and when it comes to violence, no one knows that more than Jax. Once a highly skilled Padawan under Aayla Secura, he now lives his life as the infamous Sith Lord, "Darth Mordain". Trained by the cruel Lord Sidious and cunning Count Dooku, Jax came to realise that the Jedi order's ways were corrupt, and that they have fallen far further than he thought ever possible. Warped by the dark side, he made it his mission to bring down the Jedi order by any means necessary, even if it means fighting for the Separatists. Perhaps even leading them... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ #1 in Padme #1 in Sith #2 in Order 66 #1 in theforce --------------- I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS, ONLY MY OCS.

Broken No More: Luxsoka by Thegreekgodsarereal

Under editing (I wrote this like two years ago and this is trash, so I'm gonna try to fix it. PROLOGUE: Alone. No allies. No friends. No family. No order. No jedi. No clones. No war. No Anakin. Alone. It's been a while since I left the order, then returned to bring Maul to justice. A while since rex and I escaped Order 66. Since I've seen Anakin. Since Emperor Palpatine rose to power. Four months to be specific. It's been difficult, living in the slums of coruscant. I've seen too many things, indured too many things, for someone my age. I'm only nineteen, and I've endured war, death, illness, violence, poverty, and corruption. All I know is evil. I've been called many things. Commander. Padawan. Jedi. Lil' Soka. Snips. Young one. Friend. Enemy. Ahsoka. I don't use those names anymore. I'm a nobody now. A slave. An outsider. I don't eat anymore. I don't fight anymore. I don't do anything jedi anymore.

7 days by pingis03

"A moment passed as the Dark side, always present but always in a slumber, awakened inside of me and every question was answered. Where the abyss had been mere moments ago, steady ground now revealed itself, erasing every particle of the paralysing fear. And on the ground a path now lay, waiting for me to thread. There was no guilt, no shame, no limits. Because this was my lot in life, this was the moment everything I had ever done had been leading me to. Avenging my mom, eliminating Dooku, being with Padmé. I had mistakenly carried the burden of shame for my actions and now, seeing clearly for the first time, I could finally see that what I had done was right. Never again would I suffer from guilt that was falsely placed on my shoulders, never again would I act in vain. When I drew another breath I could feel the path unfold in front of me, inside of me, and it was clear, certain. Power surged through my veins, unrestrained at last, spurred on by the hint of darkness slowly rising." -------------------- The events of Revenge of The Sith told from Anakin's perspective. Combining the original storyline with deleted scenes and a few non-canon bits (they do not alter the canon version, simply add to it). I do not claim to be an expert of Anakin as a character. I have written a Revenge of the Sith from Padmé's perspective, feel free to check that out! Feedback is more than welcome :)

Night & Star, Vol #1: The Clone Wars by FesterBlades

(I do not own Star Wars, the only thing I do own are my OCs. This story takes major inspiration from FanFiction.Net/Wattpad story: 'Legacy of Jarik Shan V2: The Clone Wars. Work done by @TheTruMan_196 (I HIGHLY encourage reading his stories). Also, out of all my stories this one I may have the most difficult time updating, but I promise I will do my best to update as soon as possible and make each chapter enjoyable for old and new Star Wars fans. It also takes some parts from other fanfictions (mainly in certain chapters), however it will have MANY differences from all these stories and it will have my own flares of writing, and overall a different plot for my character's journey through the Star Wars franchise.) The galaxy in turmoil! As the clone war rages on, Jedi Grand Master Yoda has taken on a new Padawan named Talion Vizsla. A human of mandalorian descent and possessing a rare, deep connection to the Force. This Padawan will endure many hardships of war and not only face the challenges of battle, but also the mystery of who he really is.

The Weakest Jedi by gleamgallade

I'm a Jedi Padawan... oh wait, I'm not. No Master will pick me. I'm the fabled "Weakest Jedi." My connection to the force is so below-average I can barely muster a force-push. My only powers include limited force-sense and basic enhancing of my physical attributes. Despite this, I WILL become a Jedi. How? By honing my physical abilities and lightsaber techniques beyond what anyone thought possible. __________________________________________________________________________________ Hesitant to call this a "power fantasy," but this story will include the main character slowly becoming more powerful. Maybe not in the way you think, but it will be satisfying (with patience). TCW era reader-centric fanfic. Will follow the timeline for the most part. Will probably include Ahsoka romance... eventually. Cover Art Credit: https://www.deviantart.com/adrian911/art/Jedi-guardian-128606995

The Fall of Revan by Ashabellanar4life

Before his fall Jedi Knight Revan was renowned for his skill and the hero of the Republic in the Mandalorian wars. Then for some reason he went into unknown space and came back Darth Revan. Nearly destroying the Republic he protected before the Jedi captured and brainwashed him to fight with them against his own Apprentice Malek. But some claim he wasn't the first, and that 'she' was what truly led to his fall. This is their story. *Keep in mind Revan was a name he took up as he gathered Jedi to his Revanchist cause during the Mandalorian Wars. Never have we heard his name before that mentioned so I've named him Jax. *This story idea come from the Kotor games *I do not own Star wars or any of their characters from within the games. They belong to Disney, Lucas Arts and Bioware.*

Captain Rex's Journey by edward1718

Star Wars, a series of films that began under George Lucas himself, and are being made under Disney-Lucasfilms productions... This story began as a Captain Rex fan fiction but I have evolved it into something more. Watch as Captain Rex and Jedi padawn Paul Hornen face off against the Empire and First Order, while also meeting legacy characters and protecting those they care about. The year is 5 BBY, roughly the time of the Empire's most powerful years. Captain Rex's mission of rescuing Cody will soon begin, and in doing so he wishes to form a rebellion to bring back the Republic. Hear the events that brought Rex back in action to rescue Cody and Anakin once and for all. [My Version cause I like to make up stories] 19 BBY to 34* ABY *It can change BTW: I do not own any Star wars characters, locations etc. These are given to George Lucas for creating an amazing not one but two trilogies and an another new one made by JJ Abrams. Also the story is set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope and is around Season 2 & 3 of Rebels. Advised to watch them before reading chapters 7 onwards. It will include all movies from Rogue One to The Last Jedi. *But characters like Paul Hornen which are made by me are mine...
