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.

Star Wars IX- The Rise of Skywalker by BethBee83
32 parts Complete
"We've passed on all we know. A thousand generations live in you now, but this is your fight." A familiar voice, Luke's, whispers. Luke Skywalker stands net to R2-D2 the sky around him burns shades of orange, yellow and red and behind him a Jedi temple burns. Kylo feels his father's hand upon his face the watched as his father falls into the abyss. "Your journey nears its end." A sinister voice now whispers, and a flash of blue light reveals a fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers filling the vastness of space as blue fire leaps between them. A powerful red laser of an unseen weapon obliterates the surface of a planet. Shrieks, whispers and screams and then the sound of a lightsaber igniting. A fiery red saber but behind that saber is Rey, her hand twitches and the saber becomes a double-pronged staff. A maniacal evil laugh cackles. Kylo woke with a start and sat upright on his bed. Written after the first trailer dropped and finished before the film was released. Contains references to previous films, novelisations and comics. I'm a Reylo shipper but there will be no major smut- one additional slightly adult chapter at the end of the book. #Bendemption #Reyloisendgame #1-starwarsfanfiction 25.12.19 #1- Dyad 4.5.20 (May the 4th be with you) #1-Bendemption 4.4.20 #17- Reylo 25.8.20 #1-episode iv 30.11.20 #2- reylofanficyion 6.1.22 'This is legit my favourite reylo fan fiction OMG it's so in character and like literally perfect for episode 9 I'm dying this is amazing.'

Another Galactic Adventure by SpideySenses2907
10 parts Ongoing Mature
Mandalorians weren't a common sight on Tatooine, even for a Jedi-turned-bounty hunter by the name of Annalisa Veruna. She had lived on the dirt planet ever since she and her father escaped the terror that occurred at Coruscant, left to fend theirselves after Anakin Skywalker wreaked havoc on the Temple. Annalisa witnessed the horror at age three. Her father retreated to the planet take care of her and her newborn sister. The Empire had fallen. Annalisa witnessed it all. She was there when her sister stabbed a lightsaber through their father's chest and when she fled to join the Empire. Now that it disappeared into the shadows, Annalisa was left alone in her childhood home with two droids. Hunting was what she was good at and it paid for her necessities. Even when most would say she was living a good life, there was something missing: a sense of adventure. Her body ached to be in another battle for the greater good of the galaxy. It wasn't until a constantly repaired, worn-out "Razor Crest" landed in bay three-five that Annalisa saw how crazy her tracking fob had gone. Whatever fifty year old quarry was on that ship, everyone was after it. It called for an investigation... And perhaps an adventure. ~ ~ -- I do not own anything related to Star Wars or the franchise. I only added (and own) my OCs to the show for fun, so much so that I changed some parts : ) -- This story will include blood, gore, serious language, existential crises, death, heartbreak, fighting/dueling, and romantic endeavors. As with most warriors, there will be trauma, protrayals of panic attacks, anxiety, and the like.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Knight of The Jedi)

8 parts Ongoing

(I do not own Star Wars, the only thing I do own are my OCs. 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.) 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. (This story takes a lot of inspiration from two other fanfictions from FanFiction.Net: 'Legacy of Jarik Shan V2: The Clone Wars.' And 'The Mandalorian Maverick.' (I highly encourage reading those stories). 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.)
