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 :)
