If we do ever get a Reva spin-off show (or movie, whatever), I would like to put it out there that it shouldn't have a SINGLE cameo. Not one. No Rebels characters, no Sequels characters, no Force ghosts, no Ahsoka, no Luke or Leia, no other Jedi survivors, NOBODY. No cameos, just Reva and a cast of original characters.

Once a Mother, Always a Mother
Anakin Skywalker x Reader
Obi-Wan Kenobi x Reader (Platonic)
Leia and Luke Skywalker (Mother!Reader)
Request: Instead of a Jedi, can she have Scarlet Witch’s powers? She was a friend of Padmé and Anakin fell for her when they first met. They still get together, (y/n) used her powers when she saved some young Jedi from Anakin’s genocide? In the end, she still gives birth to Leia, and Luke then got separated. She faked her and their children’s death so that they would be safe. She’s like Wanda from M.o.M with Obi-wan at her side, she wanted to bring her daughter back to a safe place. When Leia first met (y/n) she could immediately see the resemblance but kept it a secret since she could sense that she shouldn’t know about it. They still were able to save Leia and Luke, (y/n) nearly killed Reva when she thought she harmed Luke.
Request sent by: @oyasumimosura - I hope this is what you wanted!! I made some minor changes but I hope you enjoy it :)
A/N: I actually started crying at the end so grab some tissues.
Warnings: Angst and a little bit of gore (if you squint)
Word Count: > 10k (don't ask)
Tumblr media
“Y/n,” Padme cheered, “I’m so glad you could make it.”
The Senator walked over and gave you a quick hug. You hugged back lightly and smiled softly. You and Padme have been good friends for a while. With your unique powers, you’ve always been an outcast. Padme saw this and took you under her wing. She’s always been your best friend and even, a big sister.
“Hey, you called, said you needed help, I’m here.”
She laughed softly and guided you to the sitting area. You arrived here on Coruscant on the count of someone trying to kill Senator Amidala. She was granted protection with Jedis but she wanted you too.
“The Jedi will be here soon,” Padme explained, “I’ll be talking with Captain Typho.”
Padme walked towards the balcony, overviewing the beautiful city of Coruscant. You, on the other hand, took a seat on one of the nearest couches. You watched as the Gungan, Jar Jar Binks, walked out of the room, towards the elevator.
“Obi? Obi! Mesa so smilen to seein yousa!” You heard Jar Jar yell.
You stood, knowing that the Jedi personnel had arrived. You brushed off the robes you were wearing. You wanted to look professional, even if you weren’t at the Jedi level experience. Sure, you’ve been training at the Temple. But, you had different powers than everyone else. You could use a lightsaber and the Force, but you rather would use your…powers.
“Good to see you again, Jar Jar.”
“Senator Padme! Y/n,” Jar Jar walked in with his two Jedi friends, “Mesa palos here! Lookie, lookie, Senator. Desa Jedi arriven.”
Padme turned around, smiling at the now older Jedi. She hasn’t seen them since the droid's attack on Naboo. She was grateful they had accepted to come back to her aid again, even if she didn’t need protection.
You followed her pursuit, standing next to the Senator.
“It’s a great pleasure to see you again, milady,” the bearded Jedi bowed.
“It has been far too long, Master Kenobi,” Padme shook his head.
Padme looked over the Master’s shoulders to be faced with a surprise.
“Ani? My goodness, you’ve grown.”
You looked to where your dearest friend was looking. It had felt as if your breath was sucked out of your body. That…Ani….he was handsome. He seemed too starstruck over Padme to notice you.
“So have you. Grown more beautiful. I mean. Well, f-for a senator, I mean.”
Padme nodded her head and smiled, “Ani, you’ll always be that little boy I knew on Tatooine.”
Ouch, you thought. You knew that would hurt.
Padme turned to look at you, “This is my good friend, Y/n L/n. She has been training at the Temple. She is a wonderful knight.”
The two Jedi turned their attention towards you. You nodded your head at Kenobi and held out your hand.
“Obi-Wan Kenobi. I’ve never heard of you,” the Master added, “who was your Master?”
“I’ve been tossed back and forth,” you explained, shaking his hand.
You held out your hand for the Ani, who was staring at you in awe.
“I’m A-Anakin Skywalker, Master Kenobi’s padawan. As I, have never heard of you and I apologize.”
The Chosen One. You’ve heard stories about the Chosen One and how they would bring balance to the two Forces. You’ve never expected it to be this young, handsome, Padawan.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you,” you smirked, “Anakin.”
You two shared eye contact for a moment and you both knew that this is where the fun would begin.
………………………………………………………………………………………
"And you're sure you'll be safe?" You were worried about Padme going back to Naboo. Sure, Anakin and Captain Typho's crew will be there with her. But, after the bounty hunter almost killed her with estranged worms, you never knew what could happen.
"Yes, Y/n, everything will be alright. I'll be safe while you are with the Jedis. Must I say," Padme looked behind you, "Anakin seems very fond of you."
You turned around to see the Padawan, staring right at you. You gave him a small wave and smiled. He realized he was staring at you and looked at his Master.
"Fond of me? You broke that poor boy's heart when you greeted him and said that 'he'll always be the same boy you met on Tatooine," you laughed.
Padme shared a laugh as well, "Why don't you come with us?"
You pondered on the suggestion. If you went, you could become a closer acquaintance with Anakin. Master Kenobi would be alone, though. You felt bad, for leaving him alone, but you knew he could handle himself.
"What about Master Kenobi?"
"I've already talked to him about it. He said it was okay with him and that you would be the one to keep his Padawan aligned."
You nodded and allowed her to step on the transport. You walked towards Anakin and told him the slight changes. You helped him with Padme's luggage, grabbing onto a small suitcase.
"Knight Y/n, I-"
"Please, just call me Y/n," you looked up at Anakin, smiling.
"Of course, Y/n, but I want to know your story."
You titled your head in confusion, "What about my story?"
You two began walking towards the Senator, who was waiting in the transport.
"Why is it that you've been trained at the Temple, but I've never seen you? When did you come to be a Jedi Knight?"
You shrugged, "It's more complicated than that and it's a very long story."
"Well," Anakin held out his hand for you while getting on the transport, "we have all the time. I'd love to hear it. I-I mean, only if you want to. That's your business and I don't want to-"
"Anakin!" You laughed, interfering with his rambling, "I'd love to share it with you. We have a couple of days to get to know each other."
"Yes," he lowered his head in embarrassment, "of course."
He couldn't help his rambling. His mouth always moved first, while his mind was trailing behind.
"Hey," you noticed his embarrassment, "it's okay. I ramble sometimes too. It's like my mouth-"
"Moves first, right? Then, your brain is a second behind."
You turned your head and faced him, "Yeah, exactly."
The two of you shared a moment of comfort, but then remembered about the Senator. You began walking towards her again, while she smiled sweetly at the two of you. She could tell there would be something between the two of you and she couldn't help but be supportive of you.
..........................................................................................................................
"Goodnight," you brushed your hair off your shoulder, "Padme. I'll be down the hall if anything seems to be a problem."
She nodded, "Don't have too much fun."
You scoffed and shook your head. Leaving the Senator's room, you walked down the Villa's hallway. It was a very beautiful building with delicate architecture. It was accompanied by a lakeside. You walked outside to the terrace. It overviewed the lake. Resting your elbows on the stone railing, you gazed at the stars.
"May I join you?"
Anakin's voice filled the void and you wave your arm towards you, "Of course."
Anakin slowly walked towards you. You quickly glanced over at him. He was in his robes, with no shirt on, and his long brown locks were sticking to his forehead.
"Are you okay?" You asked.
"Hm?" He hummed sleepily, "Oh, yeah. Just bad nightmares."
You nodded your head, understanding what it felt like.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Anakin looked down at you and then back to the view of the lake, "I'd rather not."
You looked back at the stars. You wish you could look at every single one, but you know there are so many more out there. The stars were like stories. Each one had a different story to tell. You loved to gaze upon them. "They're beautiful," you said out loud, in awe.
"Yeah," Anakin agreed, "they are."
What you didn't realize was that Anakin wasn't gazing at the stars. His half-lidded stare was directed towards you. He loved seeing your eyes fill up in awe and your excitement when a star twinkled.
You looked down at your hands and picked at your fingernails, "My connection with the Force, it's one that I can't explain."
"How so?"
You sighed and lifted your palm. A dark red filled your hand. You've never shown anyone this, except for Padme and your Master. You threaded the mystical red around your fingers. You rested your hand back down and looked at Anakin. He was shocked. But, he was awed as well.
"When I was receiving my lightsaber, I needed to connect to a Kyber crystal. I did, and well," you paused, "it turned red. Something that only happens with a Dark Force user. I had and have no intentions of the Dark Side. Alas, the crystal didn't connect to my saber. It connected fully to me. My Master, well, he was shocked. He had never seen anything like it."
"Who's your Master?" Anakin had so many questions but decided to start small.
"Yoda. He kept me a secret, afraid of what the council would think."
You bowed your head in shame, "I've always been shameful of it. I've always been different from the rest. I don't have a lightsaber. I don't have the Force connection as everyone else does. Padme and Master Yoda have been the only people not to be afraid of my powers."
Anakin allowed his thumb to grip your chin, making you look up at him.
"Well, you can add another person to that list. I think...it's really beautiful, Y/n. You shouldn't be ashamed. That's one of the coolest things I have ever kriffing seen!"
You laughed, tearing up. Anakin took notice of this and wrapped his arms around you.
"Did I say something?"
"No," you fell right into his arms, "you said everything perfectly right. I've just never had someone so accepting in my life."
Anakin rested his chin on your head, feeling as if you were the one comforting him from his nightmares.
You fell right into his warmth, feeling a comfort you've never had before. You stayed, wrapped in his arms until he let go.
"You better head to bed," Anakin kept his hands on your shoulders, "I'll be up, watching the Senator."
You raised your hand to rest upon his cheek, "May I try something? It won't hurt. It's for the nightmares."
Anakin hesitated at first but slowly nodded. He leaned into your touch. You lifted your other hand, floating it next to his temple. With the wave of your hand, you slowly let your power connect with his mind. You closed your eyes and saw all the nightmares. Ones about his mom. Ones about the Dark Side. Ones about failing his Master.
Opening your eyes back up, you saw the look of relaxation on Anakin's face. He slowly connected his eyes with your eyes. You let your hand fall on his chest. He let out a shaky breath while leaning forward. You follow his pursuit, leaning in. You met halfway, eyes closed, letting his soft lips connect with yours.
The kiss felt like a missing puzzle piece that's been hiding under a table. The relief to have found the piece flooded your body. You've never felt so alive before.
You slowly let go of the kiss, your eyes still closed. Anakin was smiling. He felt the same way. He felt your power seep throughout his mind, finding all the dark. You filled his mind with light. Something he has been needing for so long.
.......................................................................................................................
Covering your face with a piece of cloth, you blocked off the blowing sand. Anakin's nightmares have been getting worse. The ones you tried to ease just kept coming back. Anakin cried in your arms. The nightmares felt real, and he couldn't rest.
Padme had allowed the two of you to go to Anakin's home planet, Tatooine, to see if his mother was alright. Your heart ached for Anakin.
You walked towards the small dwelling, to be greeted by a droid.
"Oh, uh! Hello! How might I be of service? I am C-"
"3PO?" Anakin finished the droid's sentence.
"Oh, the maker! Oh, Master Ani! I knew you would return. I knew it!" C-3PO looked your way, "I don't believe we have met!"
"I am Y/n L/n. I'm a Jedi Knight, and I-
"She's my partner," Anakin squinted his eyes at 3PO.
"It's lovely to meet your partner, Y/n. Bless my circuits! I'm so pleased to see you again, Anakin."
"I've come to see my mother," Anakin explained.
"Oh. Um, I think perhaps we'd better go indoors," C-3PO guided you to the front door. He walked down the stairs and greeted, "Master Owen, might I present two most important visitors."
"I'm Anakin Skywalker."
The man introduced, "Owen Lars. Uh, this is my girlfriend, Beru."
"Hello," Beru nodded.
"I'm Y/n L/n. Anakin's partner," you smiled at the title. It was much better, and preferred, than Jedi Knight.
"I guess I'm your stepbrother. I had a feeling you might show up someday."
Anakin backed up and looked around, "Is my mother here?"
"No, she's not," a new voice sounded and a man in a wheelchair appeared, "Cliegg Lars. Shmi is my wife."
Anakin shook his hand.
"We should go inside. We have a lot to talk about."
You, Beru, Owen, and Anakin followed Cliegg into a small dining room. Beru fetched a pitcher of tea, while the rest of you sat down.
"It was just before dawn. They came out of nowhere. A hunting party of Tusken Raiders. Your mother had gone out early, like she always did, to pick mushrooms that grow on the vaporators. From the tracks, she was about halfway home when they took her, " Cliegg sighed.
You watched as Anakin looked down. You rested your hand on his knee, getting no reaction from him.
"Those Tuskens walk like men, but they're vicious, mindless monsters. Thirty of us went out after her. Four of us come back. I'd be out there with them, but after I lost my leg, I just couldn't ride anymore un-until I heal."
Anakin nodded, while still looking down. You knew he was trying to be strong, but you also knew that he was a human too. He was trying to hide his emotions. All you wanted to do was say, "It's okay," but you didn't even know that it was going to be.
"I don't want to give up on her, but she's been gone a month. There's little hope she's lasted this long."
Anakin stood abruptly, swallowing his tears.
"Where are you going?" Owen asked.
"To find my mother," the Padawan answered coldly.
"Your mother's dead, son. Accept it," Cliegg argued.
Anakin walked out of the room, needing to catch some air. He knew his mother was still alive. She had to be. If she wasn't, why was he still getting nightmares?
You followed him, thanking the Lars family, and walked outside. He was wrapped in his dark cloak, staring at the two suns. He felt your presence and turned around. You stopped in front of him.
"You're gonna have to stay here. These are good people, Y/n. You'll be safe," he suggested.
You wrapped your arms around his neck, letting him fall into your comfort, "Anakin."
He wrapped his long arms around your torso. His cloak fell around you and breathed in his comforting scent.
"I'm coming with you, I can help."
Anakin backed out of the hug and sighed, "I don't want you getting hurt."
"I can take care of myself."
His shoulders fell in defeat and lead you to his speeder. You sat on the back, wrapping your arms around the young Skywalker. He started the speeder up and you were off to find Shmi Skywalker.
.......................................................................................................................
Anakin wanted you to stay back to keep watch. So you could warn him. You kept watching the tent he had entered. Suddenly, you felt your heart shatter. Oh no, you thought. You felt Anakin's heartbreak from across the land. But, then you felt anger. Revenge. Pain. Suffering. Death.
You watched as Anakin killed the two Tuskens, while the others surrounded him. You saw a look in his eyes that terrified you. It was an anger that you have never seen in somebody before. You used your powers to float down, helping Anakin to stop.
"Anakin!" You shouted, allowing some Raiders to pay attention to you.
You quickly sent them all into a daze with your power, letting them be stuck in their own mind. You ran towards Anakin, who was breathing heavily. He had just slain the last standing Raider. The thing that scared you was that he had no remorse.
"Anakin," you breathed, resting your hand upon your shoulder.
His head snapped towards you. His eyes were dark with rage. They softened when he saw you and your warm eyes. He diminished his lightsaber and looked around. His mouth dropped in shock.
"I-I don't, I killed them, my mom-"
You waved your hand, letting your powers calm him down before he had a panic attack. He broke, letting the tears he has been holding back for a while fall. He fell into your arms, clutching onto you for dear life. You didn't say anything. You let him sob and sob. He knew he had to protect you. He couldn't lose you. You were the only love he had left.
...........................................................................................................................
It had been revealed that Viceroy Gunray was the one behind the assassination attempts on the Senator and that Count Dooku was the one leading this all.
The Battle of Genosis was still going on. You and Anakin had arrived but got captured, trying to save Master Kenobi. You fought with a blaster, knowing you could do so much more. Your Master arrived, saving the Jedi from the arena. The three of you were on a jet, racing out of the arena.
The clones had joined the Jedi in the battle, making it impossible for the Separatists to fight back.
"Look over there," Obi-Wan pointed out. There were three escape speeders trying to, well, escape.
"It's Dooku, shoot him down!" Anakin commanded.
"We're out of rocket fuel," the pilot informed.
"Follow him!"
"We're gonna need some help!" You shouted over the winds and blaster shots.
"There isn't time! Anakin and I can handle this!" Obi-Wan answered.
"No," Anakin argued, "she comes with me. She can help us, she's a talented Jedi knight. She can-"
All of a sudden, the transport you were on got shot, throwing you off the transport. You felt on a sand hill, rolling down. You groaned in pain, stopping yourself from rolling.
"Y/N!" You heard Anakin yell.
You watched as he got farther and farther until he was out of your sight. You rested on your elbows. Kriffing great, you thought. You were stuck in the middle of the desert. You couldn't help but think that Anakin was getting hurt right now. You surpassed the pain in your back and used your powers, making sure no one saw you, traveling the way Anakin's transport went.
.........................................................................................................................
You arrived at the transport only to see Obi-Wan on the floor while Anakin dueled with Count Dooku. You hid behind a pillar while Anakin fought.
You watched as they battled in the dark. You started getting worried for Anakin, as he broke his lightsaber, using his Master's. You looked for any possible option of a weapon, but you couldn't find one.
You felt a burn in your arm, confused that you didn't get shot at. You looked at Anakin, to his right arm severed from his body. He passed out from the sudden pain. You felt the rage take over. The anger. You allowed yourself to be seen by Obi-Wan.
"Y/n! Get out of here!"
Count Dooku turned around to face you.
"Who dares to challenge me?"
"Me," you raised off the ground, your power surrounding you, flowing through your veins, "you snarking son of a bitch."
You used all your might to rip off rocks from the wall, machinery, anything to throw at Dooku. Dooku was caught by surprise, allowing him to fall back in pain. He quickly got off, throwing his electric powers at you. You used your powers to deflect it back to him, resting your feet on the ground. Your eyes glowed a bright red as you began throwing the power at him. He tried throwing the same things you threw, only to be stopped with your other hand.
He quickly swung his red lightsaber at you, hitting you in the arm. You groaned in pain, looking down at your arm. You looked back slowly at Count Dooku. He was astounded. He had never seen anything like you before.
"Who is your Master?" He asked, very curious.
You didn't answer as anger filled your veins. Using your power, you lifted him into the air. He screamed in pain as your power slowly started to rip him apart.
"Y/n! No!"
Your head turned to the sound of your Master's voice. You quickly looked back at Dooku, letting him fall to the ground harshly.
Count Dooku groaned in pain as you stood there, breathing heavily. Your eyes still shining their bright red. You hadn't calmed down from your high yet. You haven't used your powers that heavily before. Blinking, you calmed down, but only a little amount. You couldn't catch your breath and you fell to the ground. Your body was exhausted and you fell into a deep sleep.
..........................................................................................................................
Waking up, your vision was blurred. You checked your surroundings and saw that you were in the medbay at the Temple. You breathed in deeply and groaned. You were in pain. Your back felt like an Eeopie had stepped on it, and your head was pounding. You felt something holding your hand. Looking down, you saw a sleeping Anakin. You looked at his right arm to see a robotic hand there. If he had already been fixed, how long have you been out for?
"Anakin," your voice was hoarse and your throat was dry.
Anakin woke up quickly, looking at you. He knew what you wanted without you even asking him. He grabbed you a small plastic cup of water and you drank it with no hesitation.
"Oh my stars," Anakin brushed your hair with his hand, "I was so scared you weren't going to wake up."
"How long have I been out for?" You asked, scared to hear the answer.
"A couple of weeks."
You sighed in defeat. It wasn't a perfect amount of time, but it wasn't the worst.
"How's your arm?"
Anakin chuckled, showing it to you, "I'm getting used to it. It feels really weird."
You smiled, glad to see him laughing.
"Did Count Dooku escape?"
"Yeah, Master Yoda fought him when you passed out."
You gasped, "Oh stars above. Master Yoda, he-"
"He was concerned for you. He didn't like seeing you use your powers like that, for sure, but he was more concerned for your well-being. He talked with Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan knows to keep it a secret. The only thing is is that-"
"Dooku knows," you finished your sentence for him.
He saw the worry flash through your eyes.
"Don't worry," he kissed your knuckles, "no one is going to hurt you under my watch. I'll protect you, just like you did for me."
"You saw me? At the transport?"
"I was up for the last of it. I saw your eyes."
"Are you scared?" You looked anywhere but his face.
"Of course not," Anakin gushed, "your powers don't make you, you. It's your personality. I fell for you before I even knew about your powers."
Anakin realized what he said and started blushing, "Ah-I mean-"
"Y/n!"
Padme's voice alerted you to look at the door.
"Padme!"
She came running through the door, careful to give you a light hug. Anakin stood up and backed up, allowing Padme to have her talk with you.
"I'm so glad you're okay!"
"Yeah, me too," you joked, smiling at the Senator, "I'm sorry we couldn't capture Count Dooku. I tried my best."
"Y/n, they told me what happened. You overworked yourself to save Master Kenobi and Anakin. I'm just glad to see you okay."
You and her talked for a little longer but she retired so she could talk with Chancellor.
"Have you gotten any sleep?" You asked Anakin, noticing the bags under his eyes. He took his spot back, sitting next to you.
"The first time was before you woke up."
"Ani!"
"I wanted to make sure you were okay."
You smiled at his stubbornness.
"Does Master Obi-Wan and Master Yoda know about us?" You asked quietly.
"No," Anakin stated, "but I'm pretty sure my Master has his suspicions."
You looked out the window to be faced with the beautiful Coruscant.
"Speaking of us," you turned your head towards Anakin, who seemed nervous, "I was wondering something."
"What's wrong?" You grabbed his hand and held it in yours.
"I want to protect you. I want to do you right. I want to be able to wake up with you beside me. No matter the consequences with the Council. Maker, I would leave the Order for you. When I first met you, I knew that you were going to be my partner. The one person I could trust and find comfort in. With that being said," his tired eyes looked into your teary-eyed eyes, "would you do me the honor of becoming Y/n Skywalker?"
You gasped in excitement and cheered, "Yes! Of course!"
You leaned up, the best you could, and hugged your newly-to-be husband. The tears were flowing from the both of you and you couldn't be happier to spend the rest of your life with Anakin, the boy who changed your life.
...........................................................................................................................
The ceremony you held was small. The marriage officiant, Padme, and the two of you. You and Anakin had decided to tell Padme since the wedding was held on the terrace of the Villa you had stayed in many moons ago. The terrace where you and Anakin had your first kiss at. You were flooded with emotions on your wedding day and you couldn't be more relieved to spend it with your one true love, Anakin.
...........................................................................................................................
It's been three years since you and Anakin had gotten married. The two of you stayed together during the Clone Wars. He was so happy when the war finally calmed down and he could return home to you. The two of you have kept your relationship a secret, it was only Padme who knew. You continued your study at the Temple, under your Master Yoda. You learned how to do more talents with your power and you learned how to control them.
Anakin had just returned home from rescuing the kidnapped Chancellor. You waited behind a pillar as you watched him and Obi-Wan discuss. You could have sworn you saw Obi-Wan's eyes flicker towards you but you decided to ignore it. Anakin began walking with Bail Organa until he saw you.
He excused himself and ran to you, picking you up and spinning you.
"Oh, Ani," you sighed, "I'm so happy to see you're okay."
"I've missed you, Y/n," Anakin smiled.
"There were rumors that you were killed and I-"
"I'm all right," he rested a hand on the back of your neck, "It feels like we've been apart for a lifetime. And it might have been, if the chancellor hadn't been kidnapped, I don't think they would have ever brought us back from the outer rim sieges."
He bowed his head to kiss you and you happily answered by kissing him back.
"I'm tired of all this deception. I don't care if they know we're married."
"Me too, Anakin," you hugged him again, "me too."
You started shaking in fear and excitement. How were you going to tell him?
"Are you alright? You're shaking," Anakin pulled out of the hug and looked down at you.
"Anakin," you looked down, "I'm pregnant."
Anakin breathed out in excitement, "Wow, that's-that's wonderful."
You smiled slightly, "What are we going to do?"
"We're not going to worry about anything right now. All right? This is a happy moment. The happiest moment of my life."
The two of you shared a kiss and hugged. Your life had finally felt complete, knowing that Anakin was excited to start a family. You were head over heels for him and would do anything for him and the baby.
........................................................................................................................
You were walking peacefully down the hallway. You were looking for Anakin to see if he had returned. Turning your head, you heard blaster shots going off. You walked briskly through the hall and met with a sight that you couldn't watch. You saw the clones killing the Jedi. Covering your mouth, you ran as fast as you could towards your room. The smell of charred flesh and your pregnant stomach were not mixing well together. You slowly passed a youngling learning room and walked in. The younglings were laying on the floor, with no movement.
You started crying at the sight. You saw that they were slashed with lightsaber burns. What monster could have done this?
You heard shuffling to your left and you looked to see a clone about to shoot a small girl youngling.
Using your powers, you pushed the clone back. Throwing your power at him, he was knocked out. You ran over to check on the youngling. "Are you okay?" You asked, kneeling before her.
"Master Skywalker," the youngling explained to you what had happened. You couldn't believe what you were hearing. All this time, it was your husband that was doing this crime.
The youngling was scared, you could tell. Resting a hand on her small shoulder, you comforted him, "Be strong, young one. Trust in the Force. The escape pods are open, I can see them down the hall. Run there and go anywhere. Anywhere but here."
The youngling nodded, "What about you?"
"I'll be okay here. Don't worry about me. May the Force be with you," you nodded your head at the shaking youngling. You made sure she made it to the pod. She gave you a small wave and you smiled, with tears flowing down your eyes.
You hid until you heard nothing left. That's what scared you. You quietly made your way back to your room. You could have sworn you saw Anakin but didn't want to approach him. You closed the door when you heard footsteps approaching. You quickly pressed your back against the door and covered your mouth.
"There is no one here, Lord Vader," a clone spoke.
You listened closely, "Alright. Continuing checking, then we can leave."
You heard the footsteps quietly go farther. You let out a shaky breath and cried.
"Y/n."
You stopped. He knew you were in here.
"Please," his voice sounded like he wanted to burst out in tears, "let me in. I can feel you."
You didn't answer back. You slowly slid down on the floor and started crying again.
"You weren't meant to see th-" he cut himself off, not wanting to bring it up, "I love you. I did this for you. I can protect you with my new powers. We can live a happy life with our baby. If you can understand, please meet me on Mustafar. I'll be waiting."
You heard him walk away, as you sat there crying.
You couldn't help but think that this was your fault. Had you done something to make him turn to the Dark Side? Your thoughts went to Padme. You hadn't seen her in a while and you doubted she survived. You assumed she was dead and that made you cry even harder.
You were torn.

Resting in your corridor, you heard a knock at the door. Holding your, now, bigger belly, you walked to the door to be greeted by Obi-Wan.
"Master Obi-Wan. What can I do for you?"
Obi-Wan spoke quietly, "May I come in?"
You heard a hint of worry and unsettlement in his voice but decided not to question it.
"Of course," you moved to the side so he could walk in.
"When was the last time you saw Anakin?"
"Yesterday," you walked back towards the couch and sat down slowly. You weren't lying. The last time you did physically see him was before he left. Obi-Wan walked behind you and sat opposite you.
"And do you know where he is now?"
"No," you answered quickly. You did know. But, he trusted you. You couldn't help but feel guilty, for lying to Obi-Wan.
"Y/n, I need your help. He is in grave danger," Obi-Wan begged.
"From who?" You gasped, looking straight at Obi-Wan.
"From himself."
Obi-Wan couldn't maintain eye contact with you so something was up and you could sense it in the air. You knew exactly what he was going to say.
"Y/n," Obi-Wan took your hand and held it, "Anakin has turned to the Dark Side."
You sighed, grasping onto Obi-Wan's hand, "I know."
This was now or never. You were going to tell Obi-Wan the truth. About everything. You couldn't hold back anymore.
Obi-Wan's head turned in confusion as he moved to sit next to you. You told him everything. Your relationship, the marriage, the babies, the incident yesterday.
"And," you started crying, "I can't help but feel like this is all my fault. If I talked to him, maybe I could have stopped him. If he talked to me."
Obi-Wan looked away, trying to obtain this new information.
"He was deceived by a lie. We all were. It appears that the chancellor is behind everything, including the war," Obi-Wan looked back at you, "Palpatine is the Sith Lord we've been looking for. After the death of Count Dooku, Anakin became his new apprentice."
You blinked tears away and you turned your head away, "Are you upset for us lying to you?"
Obi-Wan grabbed your hand again and slightly smiled, "I've known for a long time, Y/n. I could sense there was someone with my Padawan. I knew it was you. He cared for you. I'm sorry you have to be going through this. I understand why the two of you lied."
"Thank you," you hugged Obi-Wan. He was the only person you could talk to right now.
"I need to know where he is," Obi-Wan whispered, looking at you.
You let go of the hug to look at Obi-Wan, "You're going to kill him, aren't you?"
"He has become a very dangerous threat."
You shook your head, "I can't."
Obi-Wan's stare lingered for a while but he stood up, walking towards the landing pad.
"Are you sure you don't know?"
You looked down at your glowing red hands. Tell him, your thoughts were yelling at you. You couldn't. But, the younglings he had slaughtered. You couldn't help but think about the negatives.
"I'm so sorry," Obi-Wan walked off to the Jet but you stopped him. "Obi-Wan!"
He turned around to see you running towards him.
Crying, you admitted, "He is at Mustafar. But, promise me you won't kill him."
Obi-Wan looked down at you and couldn't help but tear up. You were going to be all alone if Anakin was killed.
"I can't promise you anything. I dearly wish I could, Y/n. I promise you that if anything happens," Obi-Wan kissed your forehead to comfort you, "we will keep your baby safe."
You stood there as you watched Obi-Wan fly off.
"Please, come back to me," you whispered, hoping that Anakin could hear you.
..........................................................................................................................
The contraction pains that were rushing through your stomach were terrible. You were transported by Captain Typho to a safe medbay to give birth. You saw your Master and Bail Organa waiting at the medbay. They helped you get escorted to a private room so they could scan and see if the baby was ready to come out.
Laying down in the metal cot, you groaned in pain as you felt the baby pushing to be let out. You turned your head and saw a burnt-out Obi-Wan talking to a medical droid and the two men who were already here.
The only thought you had in your head was, where's Anakin?
"Miss Skywalker," the droid walked in, "you are ready to give birth. Obi-Wan has agreed to accompany you during the birth."
You made eye contact with Obi-Wan and saw the broken look in his eyes. He made his way next to you and held your frail hand.
"Where is he?" You asked, sternly.
"Y/n, he-"
You screamed out in pain as the baby was starting to come out. You grasped tightly onto Obi-Wan, who brushed the hair off your forehead.
You screamed and screamed until the baby came out. You were breathing heavily, tearing up as you saw the crying baby being held in the nurse's arms.
"It's a boy."
Obi-Wan held the small, crying child in his hands, looking at you sweetly.
"Oh, Luke," you brushed Luke's cheek with your finger and smiled.
Suddenly, you felt another baby start to come out. Crying out in pain, you grasped Obi-Wan's arm again. You were confused but excited that you were having twins.
"It's a girl."
You held the baby girl in your arms and smiled, "Leia."
The nurse gave them small blankets to cover up their small bodies.
You let Obi-Wan take the babies out of your arms, the tiredness getting to you.
"Where is he?" You breathed out.
Obi-Wan's blue eyes connected with your stressed ones and you knew exactly what had happened.
"I tried to help him. I failed him, Y/n. I'm sorry."
You silently turned your head to face the ceiling. Your whole body was numb with heartbreak. You knew that Anakin dying had a chance of happening. You just couldn't believe it actually did happen. Your lover, husband, soulmate. He was gone. You closed your eyes as the tears trickled down your cheeks. Obi-Wan let you rest, carrying the babies to rest in their cots.
Before Obi-Wan stepped out, you stopped him.
"I can't take care of the babies alone. With Anakin gone," you cried, "they need to be separated. Away from the Sith. I'll fake my death and go into hiding. We can fake their deaths as well. They can be safe without me."
Obi-Wan nodded, "That's a brave choice. I admire it. But, where shall they go?"
Bail Organa stepped into the conversation, "I'll take the girl. My wife and I always dreamed of adopting a baby girl. She can be safe with us on Alderaan."
You looked at Leia. Her peaceful sleeping. Looking at Luke, you smiled. You could already tell he would be just like his father.
"What about Luke?" You asked, turning your head towards Obi-Wan.
"I'll take him to his family in Tatooine and watch over him. Master Yoda and I already talked about it," he ran a hand over his face.
You hummed in agreement, too exhausted to answer. You let the sleepiness take over and you rested.
Soon, the nightmares that were once fixed, would return. But this time, much worse.
.......................................................................................................................
"I'm looking for a ship. I was tracking its signature," the much older Obi-Wan, who now goes by Ben, asked a bystander.
It has been a couple of years since the downfall of Order 66. You had joined Ben on Tatooine, feeling safer with another person around. The two of you had gotten much closer and he was like your brother.
The two of you had just arrived on Daiyu, trying to find Leia, your daughter. She was 10 years old now. Bail Organa had contacted Ben, informing him that Leia had been captured. As soon as you heard that, you knew you had one mission.
To find your daughter. No matter who or what you had to hurt.
"You're in Daiyu now. All signals in or out are blocked. People like their secrets out here," the bystander explained, walking off.
Ben shrugged at you, walking towards the city. You pulled the cloak hood over your head as you followed the ex-Jedi Master.
Ben was looking at a Clone Veteran while you traversed into your own world. You looked at the environment in Daiyu. It was a very bright, but chaotic planet. You could never imagine someone living here.
"Alright, clear the path," you heard. You didn't look behind your shoulder, knowing that it was Stormtroopers. Knowing they were here meant that some precious cargo was here. To them, Leia was only praise. Praise so they could get a promotion.
"You want some spice?" A young girl came up to you.
"I got Kessel pure, glitterstim, and Felucian. What do you need?"
Your eyes flashed red, "I need information. I'm looking for my daughter. She was taken, and she's on this planet."
The girl scoffed, "Well if she's here, you're never gonna see her again. Nobody leaves this place. I was someone's daughter once, too."
You glared at the girl, your hands shaking with rage. They were flooded with a powerful red while your eyes shared that red.
"Listen, I-"
"Please do excuse my sister," Ben pulled your hand into his, trying to calm you down, "she does miss her daughter."
"Here," the girl dropped a small canister in Ben's pocket," this one is free."
The girl looked at you, "Couple more of those and you'll forget she ever existed."
Breathing heavily, you titled your head in anger.
"Y/n," the accented voice went in one ear and through the other.
"We need to find her," you snarled, "now."
..................................................................................................................
"Hey," a lab worker followed you and Ben into the hallway. You stopped with Obi-Wan as the worker approached you.
"What are you doing back here?" The worker stood in front of you.
"Oh, it seems we have lost our-"
Ben wasn't able to finish his sentence, as you used your power, shooting at the one worker. He got pushed back into a wall, knocking him out cold. Using your power, you surrounded the other worker.
"Where's the girl?" You whispered, pulling the worker to be faced in front of you.
The worker didn't respond.
"We can do this the easy way," you started pulling the man apart, "or the hard way."
"I-It doesn't matter! I'm dead anyway!"
You laughed, as your eyes glowed a dark red, "Just remember, this was me being reasonable."
You wrapped a leg of red around the worker's neck, making him lose air.
"Y/n! Stop!"
You ignored Ben's pleas as you watched the man lose his breath slowly. The man made pleading eye contact with you and whispered where Leia was. You dropped the man on the floor.
"Th-thank you! I-"
The man's body dropped as you snapped his neck.
"Really?" Ben's judging voice startled you, as you forgot where you were.
"Don't act like you weren't about to knock him out."
"Knock him out," he whisper-yelled, "not kill him! For the sake of the stars, you must learn how to control your anger."
You rolled your eyes and you quietly walked towards the cell Leia was held at. Ben stood in front, checking his surroundings.
Ben opened the door to the cell. There was a small body covered in a sheet.
"Leia," you breathed, walking briskly. You uncovered her, to be faced with a dummy.
You gasped when a strong pair of arms slammed you against the metal wall.
A man walked in, facing Ben first. Two creatures held Ben while two held you.
"I didn't know that Jedi could bleed."
While the man did his villainous dialogue, you closed your eyes and focused on the minds next to you. Invading their head, you leaned in and whispered, "Sleep."
The one guard had done what you asked, slumping against the wall. The other guard looked confused. He didn't know what had just happened. He looked at you and he saw that you didn't do anything. Your astral body image floated behind him, warning him, "Run."
The man yelled in fear and darted out of the room. The three that were left faced their attention to you.
"Well, everybody bleeds," Ben smashed the canister he got earlier on the floor, grabbing you, and pushing you out of the room. He closed the door while the fumes closed in on the guards.
"What did you do to that guard?" Obi-Wan pulled his mask down.
"Just gave him a little scare," you smirked.
Ben nodded at you, not wanting to know what that meant.
"Stop," you held out your hand to a cell door, "she's in this one. I can feel her."
Ben stepped towards the door and opened it. You walked in first, not seeing Leia. Suddenly, a small girl ran at you, kicking you in the leg. She tried running away but Ben grabbed her.
"Let go of me!" She yelled.
"Wait!"
"Let go!"
Ben put her back down on the floor and backed up. Your eyes started tearing up. This was your daughter. Your Leia Skywalker.
"Who are you?" She defensively asked.
"Y-Your father sent us. We are here to help you," Obi-Wan had his attention on you, to see how you were holding up.
"Where's the army?"
You kneeled to her level and breathed, "I promise you, Leia, we will get you out of here. We will get you home. You have to trust m-us."
You shakily cried as her brown orbs looked at you. She was a spitting image of you.
Leia looked at you, noticing how she looked so much like you. She decided not to say anything, dealing with the mess of the problem already.
"Come," you held out your hand, "we are gonna get you out of here."
Her small hand grabbed onto yours and you almost broke down. Here you are with your daughter, ten years later, and she had no memory of you. You and Ben led her out of the room. Ben noticed your state and placed a hand on your shoulder. You smiled at him.
Only if you knew that Leia did have a small memory of you. The forehead kiss when you had just named her. Leia held onto it like it was going to slip away.
.........................................................................................................................
Anakin was alive. Leia hadn't figured it out yet, that you were her mother. Reva had been a youngling during Order 66. Tala had sacrificed herself. And now, here Ben was going to face Anakin alone.
"Are you serious?" You yelled at him, on a private part of the ship.
"I have to, Y/n. I need to see him for myself. I need to face him, alone."
"I need to see him too! He was my husband, Ben, he was my best friend."
"He doesn't know that you are alive. It's best to keep it that way. It will keep you safe. Leia safe. Even Luke safe."
Your eyes glowed red as you stepped into Ben's face, "Don't you dare bring up my children. It is not their fault."
Ben saw the hurt in your eyes and wrapped his arms around your shoulders.
"I need to see him, please, I need closure," you didn't mean for it to come out as a beg, but it did.
"Stay here with Leia. She needs you."
You sighed and let go of the hug, "Be safe, Ben. Please. I can't lose anyone anymore."
He smiled softly, "May the Force be with you, Y/n."
"May the Force be with you, Ben."
He walked off to the dropship and waved goodbye.
"Are you okay?" Leia walked behind you.
You wiped off the stained tears, "Yes, I'll be okay."
Leia sighed, knowing it was time to bring it up, "Are you my mother?"
You sighed in defeat, turning around. You faced her and saw that she had your old blaster holster wrapped around her. You knelt as she walked towards you.
"Where did you get this?" You picked up the holster in your hand, smiling at the memories.
"Ben gave it to me before he left to talk to you. He said it was my mother's and judging by your reaction," Leia placed her small hand on top of yours, "it was yours."
You chuckled, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for leaving you when you were younger. I've regretted it for the past ten years. You weren't supposed to know."
"It's okay," Leia comforted, "I understand. You wanted to keep me safe."
"I can't make up for the ten years I have missed," you kissed her hand, "but I know I will get you back home."
"I've never felt like that was my home. It never has been. I don't want to be a princess. I want to be a fighter."
"Just like me," you teared up.
"Just like you," Leia smiled, "mom."
You gasped as she called you that. You've longed to have your children in your arms again and here was one of them, calling you mom. You pulled her into a warm embrace.
"Is Ben my dad?"
You laughed, "No. Ben is your...uncle. Ben was there for me when I lost your father. He would make a great father figure."
"Who is my dad?"
You let go of the hug, "That's another story for another time."
Leia looked into your eyes, "Go. Ben needs you."
You blinked, "Are you sure? I don't want to leave you after just getting you again."
"I know you'll come back for me."
You rested her forehead against your own.
"I love you, Leia," you closed your eyes, "don't ever forget that."
"I love you, too."
You kissed her hairline and raced to the escape pod the ship had. You tapped into Ben's presence and headed to him.
...........................................................................................................................
You heard the rumbling of rocks being thrown at something. No, someone. You ran and hid behind a pile of rocks. You peered to see Ben throwing rocks at him. Your Anakin. Darth Vader. You watched as Ben and Anakin battled. It ended with Ben slashing Anakin's mask open. You gasped as you saw him.
"Anakin is gone," his voice was distorted. You could hear a hint of Anakin, but all of Vader, "I am what remains."
You saw Ben start to tear up.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Anakin. For all of it."
"I am not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker. I did," this was Anakin saying this. You heard his voice clearly and loudly. You fell onto your knees, clutching your stomach, sobbing quietly.
"The same way, I will destroy you!" Vader had returned, wanting his revenge.
Ben whispered, "Then my friend is truly dead."
"Goodbye," Ben turned around, "Darth."
Ben walked away but saw you. He ran towards you and whispered, "You can't be here."
"I-please. Let me see him. I can erase his memory of him ever seeing me. Please," you begged, sobbing.
Ben nodded, "I'll be waiting for you."
Ben walked off.
This was it. After all these years, you would be facing him. You knew it wasn't him but you couldn't care less. Calming yourself down, you snuck behind him.
"Obi-Wan!" He yelled, wheezing.
"Anakin," you softly cried.
His six-foot-tall body was hunched over but straightened as soon as you said his name. He turned around and titled his head.
"Y-Y/n?"
You walked towards him, crying as hard as you ever had. You slowly placed a hand on his masked cheek.
"It's me."
You knew it was the last hint of Anakin talking to you when he threw his lightsaber to the ground. He leaned into your touch and collapsed into your arms.
"I thought you were dead. They told me you were dead."
"I know. It was for the best."
He cried. Yeah, the Darth Vader was crying in your arms. But, it wasn't Darth. It was Anakin Skywalker. The scared boy from Tatooine who had fallen in love with you.
"My love," you whispered, "don't cry."
"I failed you. I left you," he looked up at you, "the baby?"
You couldn't resist yourself. He wasn't going to remember anyway.
"Babies. Twins. A boy and a girl. Luke and Leia."
Anakin smiled, "Are they safe?"
"They will be," you backed away from the hug, sobbing, "but, you can't remember this."
"W-What?"
"You can't know I'm alive. You can't know about our babies."
"No," he stood the best he could, gripping onto your arms, "we-we can pretend! Like we did many moons ago. We can sneak around. I won't be with the Dark Side. I'll be with you."
You laughed, while the tears slipped down your cheeks, "We can't, Anakin. It would ruin everything."
Anakin cried, lifting his hands on his mask. He took it off and revealed his look to you.
"I need you to see me," he lifted your hand to his cheek, "before we say goodbye."
You cried even harder at the sight of him, "I love you, Anakin Skywalker. I'll love you even when your Darth Vader. I'll be there for you, even when I'm not. Your bad times. I'll be there. I always will be."
Anakin kissed your forehead, "I love you, Y/n Skywalker. Even when I become him again, I'll remember our forbidden times. The times when I was able to love you. I'll love you always. I love you in every universe."
The two of you were sobbing as you shared the final kiss. Your lips connected and it was the most closure you have ever gotten. His rough lips, which had once been soft, had given you the sense of comfort they had all that time ago on Naboo.
"Close your eyes, please," you pleaded, "this won't hurt."
"I love you."
With those final words, you placed your hand next to his temple and let your power flood his brain. You replaced the memory of your meeting with the memory of him and Ben fighting. Letting go, you watched as his body slumped to the ground. You knelt down to his body and kissed his forehead. You grabbed his broken mask and placed it back on his head.
"Goodbye, my love."
........................................................................................................................
You and Ben had arrived on Tatooine. After everything that has happened, you wanted to see if Luke was okay. You arrived only to hear Beru and Owen calling out for Luke.
"No," you mumbled, the tears still falling from the conversation with Anakin.
"Where is he?" Ben asked, supporting you with his arm.
"He is gone."
"I'll look in the Dune Sea. We search until we find him," Ben grabbed your hand and led you to start walking.
"Ben! Y/n!" Beru called out.
You turned around to see the Inquisitor Reva, carrying Luke's body.
"No!" You shuddered, seeing your son's dead body.
You stood in front of Ben, Beru, and Owen. Your body filled with the emotions you have been feeling for the past years.
"You killed him!" You screamed, floating in the air. Your eyes had glowed a darker red than ever before.
"No, I-"
You lifted Reva, making her yell out in pain. You made sure your power made her body burn and boil. You choked her. And choked her. And choked her. You summoned her lightsaber in your hand and ignited it.
"This is for my-"
"Y/n!"
You snapped your fuming head to see Luke, waking up. You gasped and shot the both of you down. Reva was writhing in pain. Ben ran to check on her as you watched Luke crawl into Beru's arms.
"Luke," you whispered, walking towards him. Beru allowed you to hold his frail body. You whispered your gratitude and held him tightly. You have been watching him for the past ten years. You saw him pretending to pilot. Just like his father.
He still wasn't fully awake, so you decided to place peaceful dreams into his mind.
"Luke Skywalker," you brushed his hair to the side, "you will become one of the greatest pilots and Jedi the galaxy has ever seen. Just like your father. Your father and I are so proud of you. I will always be with you, even when you can't see me. May the Force be with you, Luke."
You kissed his forehead and gave him back to Beru, who smiled at you.
You looked towards Reva and Ben. Walking towards her, you kneeled in front of her.
"I'm sorry," you whispered, looking down shamefully.
"It's okay."
"It's not. I almost killed you, Reva."
"I understand your pain. You thought I killed him. It was okay."
You couldn't control your emotions anymore so you cried and leaned into Ben.
"I wanted to thank you," Reva coughed, "for all those years ago."
"What?" You whispered.
"I was the youngling you saved. During the Genocide. You gave me hope. I've never forgotten about you," Reva explained.
You leaned toward her and hugged her. One that both of you needed.
........................................................................................................................
"You okay?" Ben asked you, he rubbed your shoulder.
"Better than I'll ever be," you slightly smiled.
The transport jet's door opened. It revealed a surprised Leia. Her droid, Lola, floated behind the two of you.
"Lola!" She exclaimed, running towards her droid.
"Who are we to separate a young girl from her droid?" Ben joked.
The two of you walked towards Bail, who welcomed you in a hug.
"Obi-Wan. Y/n."
You accepted the hug and then hugged the Queen.
"We can never repay you two. Thank you," the Queen expressed her gratitude.
"Well," Ben turned around, "she has already done that."
"I fear for her future. The Empire grows stronger and bolder."
"Well, if you ever need our help again," you added, "you know where to find us."
"Let's hope that day never comes," Bail shook yours and Ben's hands.
Ben walked over to Leia to talk to her.
"Bail, I'm sorry but I-"
"We know. She told us," the Queen answered.
"I could erase her memory, if you would like," you suggested, looking at her laughing with Ben.
"Actually," the Queen stepped forward, "we would love it if you could stay with us."
Your eyes widened in shock, "W-What?"
"We can't separate her from her mother, who she wants to know so much about. You can protect her here."
You smiled the widest you have in a long time, "Thank you so much!"
You hugged both of them and ran towards the other two. You watched as they shared a hug.
"Goodbye, Princess. May the Force be with you," Ben finished.
He stood up and waited to the side for you. You faced him, holding Leia's hand.
"Ben, the Queen and the King allowed me to stay here and protect Leia. I hope that is alright."
You felt Leia's hand squeeze your hand in excitement, not knowing about this surprise.
Ben smiled and crossed his arms, "Of course, Y/n. You deserve to live in happiness with your daughter after everything you've been through."
You teared up and let go of Leia's hand, hugging Ben tightly. "Thank you, Obi-Wan Ben Kenobi. For everything you have done for me and Anakin. For my family. You have been the greatest brother I could have ever asked for," you whispered.
Ben started to tear up, as well, "And thank you, Y/n Skywalker. For being the greatest younger sister I could ever ask for. You deserve the world. You will always be, and have always been, a wonderful mother."
You allowed Ben to say his farewell and to board the jet.
"May the Force be with you, Obi-Wan."
"May the Force be with you, Y/n."
You watched as his jet flew away. You knew you were going to miss him. You've been with him for the past ten years.
"He'll always be here, in spirit," Leia grabbed your hand again.
You knelt to her height and clasped her face with your hand, "Leia, I want you to know about your father. He was a passionate, fearless, and forthright boy. You share those qualities with him. He was a wonderful man. A leader. He loved me until the day he died. He still loves me. Us. He is watching us from up there in the stars. I do wish I could tell you more," you looked at the sky.
"It's okay, Mom."
You stood up and clasped her hand. You walked towards the Queen and King, who welcomed you into their palace. You knew that this was your new home. You wished it was your new home with Anakin, Luke, and Leia. But, you couldn't complain. Ben was watching over Luke. You had Leia. You were once their mother, and you were always going to be their mother.
The End.

Thoughts on Episode VI of Obi Wan (Spoilers)
Did Vader push Obi-Wan down in spite, so that he could have the high ground? Yes. Yes he did. Because he's that dramatic.
I feel like Obi-Wan saw Padme when looked back at Leia, that last time.
"Leia's Theme" playing when Obi-Wan was telling her about her parents, literally made me tear up. It was a gorgeous moment of cinema.
On the note of music: Darth Vader's theme playing as the camera zoomed backward from Vader on his throne was amazing.
Leia with a blaster would be a menace to society, but also totally worth it.
I kind of want to believe that Tala lowkey taught Leia how to shoot a blaster.
Hearing Anakin's voice mixed with Vader's was absolutely gut wrenching.
Obi-Wan realizing that his friend was truly dead, and being able to move on, was both sad and beautiful. The emotion on his face was heartbreaking.
Also, Luke and Leia giving Obi-Wan the strength to get himself unburied. They are both the good parts of Anakin...so the good parts of Obi-Wan's best friend.
Kinda curious how Reva got to Tatooine, not going to lie. Also, where does she go from there?
I knew they couldn't end the season without showing Qui-gon. They built it up too much. I loved his appearance.
The classic "hello there"...absolutely perfect!
I wish that we could see a backstory of how Leia went on the 'diplomatic mission' and ended up captured by Darth Vader.
Overall, I loved that Leia knew Obi-Wan. I love their relationship. I love that he told her to reach out if she ever needed him, but to be careful about it. His death is so much sadder now, because they never got the chance to talk to each other again (that we know of). She saw him die. She was there (in a New Hope), so she saw him get struck down. We focus on Luke at the time, but now we get to consider how Leia must have been feeling to see her old friend die.
I'll probably post more thoughts, those were just off the top of my head.

The more I sit on it, the more I realize that Obi-Wan Kenobi is some of my favorite Star Wars material period. It’s enhanced my love for the prequels and deepened so many scenes from them. I’m just happy that I got to see Ewan and Hayden back in these roles and getting a chance to expand them. I always used to have a disconnect between Anakin and Vader’s movements and attitudes, so I had a hard time seeing them as the same character. However, this series eliminated that problem for me. Having Hayden in the suit for most of the time immensely helped the character come through and I’m so glad they brought him back to do it. I also never knew I needed to see Obi-Wan and Leia together. Before the series premiered I was concerned that there wouldn’t be a good enough reason for Obi-Wan to leave Tatooine, but my worries were immediately put to rest with that first episode. Their connection is so heartwarming and it allowed Obi-Wan to feel a sense of love and purpose again. There are also so many scenes and characters returning that some will dismiss as cheap fan service, but to me this is the most natural fan service that Star Wars has done in quite a while. It feels that all of the references and characters brought back served a purpose to the story or Obi-Wan’s character. For instance, seeing Temuera Morrison as a clone trooper again was amazing, but ultimately it serves a purpose to remind Obi-Wan of what he used to stand for and the failure of the Jedi. None of it felt forced or stopped the momentum of the show for me at all. Finally, I absolutely love what they did with Reva. I love the idea of seeing a character who’s been directly impacted by the decisions of a main character. We’ve seen so many angles of Order 66 at this point, but we’ve never seen someone directly survive an encounter with Anakin and how that would traumatize them. Reva wants to kill Vader so badly, yet she comes dangerously close to becoming just like him. When she redeems herself, it means so much more because she does it on her own without anyone else doing the work for her. Obi-Wan certainly has an influence on her, but her decision is entirely on her own. It’s also great that she gets to live and choose a new path after having her life taken away from her. I really hope we get to see what she chooses sometime in the future. Ultimately this series perfectly aligns with Star Wars’ theme of hope. Hope in the time of despair and the hope to find the good in the worst of people.
I know my thoughts are kind of scattered around here, but I truly adore this series and I’m so excited to go back and watch it all at once now that it is complete.

okay, time for some reva headcanons!
she takes some time for herself after the events of kenobi, traveling the galaxy, trying to keep a low profile. she learns and learns and learns on every planet she visits -- how the people there live, how they suffer, and eventually, how they survive. as she starts to learn which planets are safer, people start to trust her with information. one day, she ends up on a transport with a family with two force-sensistive children who are on the run.
she's managed to keep a low profile so far. no one who's ever sheltered her has ever realized that she used to be an inquisitor, and she relishes the freedom that gives her. but when their ship is stopped and she locks eyes with the parent of the two kids, whose dread is so strong it feels like her own, she realizes what she has to do, and uses her knowledge of how the empire works to get the patrol to leave them alone.
after that, she realizes luke wasn't a fluke -- she can't live in a galaxy where children (jedi children) are killed. she refuses to live in a galaxy where children are killed.
she joins the path. she keeps in contact with the parent of those two children and teaches the kids a little bit of meditation while they're still in the same area. she was never really trained as a pilot, and she's frankly done with fighting, but her knowledge of the empire is good and her instincts are better, so she spends a lot of time riding transports or greeting people at spaceports to get them through the most dangerous part of an escape -- the gap between a ship and a safehouse.
(that is, after all, where she caught leia.)
she rediscovers gardening. she used to love the gardens in the jedi temple when she was young, and she finds that caring for plants slowly draws her force senses out of their desperately-hidden crevices. she starts to see the force as the light in other people again, instead of something that can only be used for violence lest vader would figure her out.
whenever she's set to go on a transport, she brings plants with her -- small ones, in pots, that grow either fruits or flowers. she loves, loves the look on kids' faces when they taste a fresh-picked tomato. parents look at her with gratitude, and she doesn't deserve it, but... maybe one day she will.
the path starts to merge with scattered other organizations, growing into something that will one day be called the rebellion. she still doesn't want to fight, but as a force-sensitive and a well-known strategist, she gets invited to meetings anyway. roken knows of her past, of course, but as (oftentimes!) the only other representative of the path in the room, he keeps her secret.
she runs into bail organa a few times -- "oh, a former jedi? that's-- that's nice" -- and oscillates wildly between wanting to break down crying (to beg forgiveness) and wanting to burst out laughing (because this guy so clearly wants to give her obi-wan's contact information, as if she doesn't know he's alive). generally, she tries to release her feelings into the force and opts for a joke instead.
it takes her six years to meet one of the few other force-sensitives the rebellion has, and when she realizes "the fulcrum" is actually ahoska tano, the padewan she (and every other kid her age) worshiped, she finds herself grinning. ahoska actually recognizes her, which makes her feel a little guilty but mostly just so, so happy to see someone, anyone else who understands where she's come from.
it takes them several months to discuss anakin. she knows from the way bail greets ahsoka that she at least knows of luke's existence, but they still dance around the subject of obi-wan and why he isn't with the rebellion -- reva hasn't told a soul anything that happened on tatooine in six years and she won't start now. but she at least could tell ahsoka about what she did with the inquisitors, why she did it, how she failed. ahoska doesn't even hesitate, just tells her, "i can't blame you for trying. as far as i'm concerned, as far as the force is concerned, what you've done -- you are good. you have been doing good."
when she sees the look on reva's face, she softens. "i forgive you," she says, and hugs her.
(eventually, she'll run into luke skywalker, fresh off the destruction of the death star. he looks at her without recognition, cheerfully introduces himself, and she says, "i think i met your uncle and aunt on tatooine once, when i met obi-wan there. owen and-- beru?" his face falls as he says, "they were killed by the empire." she reaches out to touch his cheek. "i'm so sorry to hear that," she says, sincere enough that even she's surprised, and then she says, "i didn't know them for long, but i knew they loved you." his small smile feels like healing, feels like forgiveness, feels like a flower blooming in the cold deep blackness of space)

What do you think happened next for Third Sister? Why do you think Luke is taught to call Owen and Beru "uncle" and "aunt" vs. some version of "father" and "mother?" Do you think Luke would have behaved differently if he saw Owen and Beru as his adoptive parents and not aunt/uncle (as compared to Leia's relationship with the Organas)
Hope this keeps the rage-stroking at bay for a few hours...
I like to think that Reva left Tatooine, went into hiding on some remote planet for a while, faked her death, then re-emerged to join the resistance movements and Jedi-smuggling underground, where she used her intimate knowledge of Inquisitorial/Imperial secrets to be their most devastatingly effective operative. Then she met another ex-Jedi badass lady with an equally troubled past, they bonded over it, fell in love, got married, and became fascist-smashing awesome wives. The end.
As for Luke and the Larses, I think it's that Bail and Breha explicitly wanted to adopt a child as their own, whereas Owen and Beru were taking in their nephew. Bail and Breha likewise gave Leia their last name, whereas the Larses allowed Luke to stay a Skywalker. I think it's just what each couple wanted to do, and didn't fundamentally change how either child was raised. Clearly Owen and Beru told Luke at least something about his father, and that Owen was his stepbrother, whereas while Leia knew she was adopted, Breha and Bail were just treated as mom and dad directly.
I've always been a little annoyed that Luke sees Owen and Beru's dead bodies in ANH, is like "welp that sucks" and then never thinks about it again, lmao, but I don't think it changes anything about how he felt for them. Especially since we saw they were such papa and mama bear for him in episode 6, and that they didn't care if he was their nephew or their son, he was theirs and they fought with everything they had to keep him safe and give him an entirely normal childhood. We give Luke a lot of shit for flying his toy plane around and complaining about not being able to hang out with his friends at age 19, while Leia was a diplomat and a senator and running galaxy-saving missions, but.... that's what a 19-year-old should be worrying about? No offense to Bail, since I love him, but he raised Leia the whole time to take over his place in Alderaan and the Senate and become a rebel leader, while Owen and Beru just let Luke have a totally normal and well-adjusted childhood far away from all the Skywalker Nonsense. And for that, honestly, they deserve all the credit in the world.

So I saw the last Obi-Wan episode and I have opinions maybe idk
(I’m still really kind of conflicted but at the same time it was better than I thought it would be. I kinda wish they just had the balls to kill Reva off and have her die at peace but at the same time I do kind of like the way her character arc went with Luke at the end despite not being a huge fan of the middle bits so I guess it’s okay, she’ll probably pop up somewhere in the post-classic timeline at some point, my family was theorizing what kind of Home Alone trap they’d have to kill her with because it’d be total BS if Obi-Wan got to her in time and to be fair he didn’t but he still got to Tatooine way too fast imo.
The Vader/Obi-Wan duel was cool but I’m kind of conflicted on the power scaling side of things, the DBZ power level nerd in me wants to say that there’s no way Obi-Wan after ten years of losing his edge beats Vader after the same amount of time hunting Jedi and deepening his hatred and self-loathing but I get what they were going for in the whole Kylo Ren ‘your feelings were split so you lost’ type deal and I guess Vader left his control panel open which is something all the books say he like never does but Obi-Wan being high off psuedo-fatherhood is a hell of a drug I guess, also despite damaging his life support it seems weird that Vader just can’t use the force or move or anything after his mask is cut open, though I do think it’s kind of neat that his will to fight completely leaves once he sees Obi-Wan again with his own eyes, it makes Vader seem more conflicted about Obi-Wan than he appeared about basically anything else until Luke in the movies.
I found it really interesting that Vader is the one that gives Obi-Wan the out of ‘you didn’t kill Anakin, I did’ like there’s several ways to take that, the Vader half doesn’t want to give Obi-Wan the credit for creating him and the Anakin half kind of lifts part of the burden of failure off of him in a way that’s almost an act of mercy in a way, like he’s still gonna kill him and shit but he wants him to die without the idea that he caused this and is in a way taking responsibility for his own actions even if he thinks it’s too late to come back. It was also really cool how with Vader’s helmet broken we get kind of a mix of the Vader voice, the Hayden-Anakin voice and the Older-Anakin voice fading in and out, I think the audio mixing was really cool on that because the voices actually lean in and out to the parts that the past, present and future are trying to emphasize.
Also how the hell did Obi-Wan just take off to Tatooine? Did Vader tell his Star Destroyer to just go home? Like I assume they were orbiting Cliff Planet (tm) still so why were they not able to just blow Obi-Wan out of the sky once he took off and they saw Vader wasn’t there?)

Obi-Wan Kenobi, episode 6
This is just an anime battle. Obi-Wan remembers the people he wants to protect and levels up in an instant. Very weird to see in an American show from an American franchise.
Alright, when Anakin’s voice said “Anakin’s gone” I got chills. Wise of the show to remind us what his voice sounds like so that this moment would be unmissable.
Obi-Wan king of making the same mistake twice. His presence reduces Darth Vader to a lonely kid again and he just. Takes the words Anakin uses to lash out completely at face value. Like. I can’t believe all of these gifsets showed “I did” and left out “The same way, I will destroy you!” which, along with the tone of his voice, really clarifies the intent. This is the last scrape of agency he has. He needs to believe he did this to himself, he chose this, he wasn’t just a pawn who lost everything for nothing. And Obi-Wan doesn’t fucking get it. Truly this is hopeless. It takes a Skywalker to know one. And now we’ll cut to Tatooine to see how the fuck the only person who can solve this survives to do so. Nice sequence, by the way. Show us how Obi-Wan fails and then remind us of the person who won’t. And by now I truly can’t tell if this scene is absolving Obi-Wan of his lie to Luke, or condemning him even further by giving him the opportunity to do what he demanded of Luke and fail to do that for the second time. There are two solutions to this problem. Try to save him or try to kill him. For the second time, Obi-Wan chooses inaction. (Good thing he is in Star Wars, not Mass Effect; making a similar choice by accident cost me the galaxy in that one.) Now he doesn’t have the excuse of shock or urgency; he’s had time to think and he chooses the same thing. Well, at least this time he only turns his back on the galaxy, not on his former friend burning alive. (Which the show did not address enough.)
(Btw, the lighting looks great, but I can’t say I’m excited if it is really supposed to color-code how we’re meant to judge the truthfulness and moral correctness of every line in this exchange.)
Why does Reva wants to kill Luke anyway? She knows he’s important but she doesn't know he's Anakin’s son, right?
This doesn’t make a lot of sense. She says she failed her classmates by not killing Luke like Anakin killed them... Then she is horrified by the idea she became like Anakin. Hold on, you just said that’s what you were trying to do! At least she made the big decision fully by herself instead of being convinced by the Light Side White Man. I still don’t get what she knows about the twins and how. Did she somehow deduce that both Leia and Luke were Anakin’s kids... right after Leia slipped away from her?
And of course episode 6 is built around the parallels with Episode VI. This show’s entire structure has been echoing the two trilogies, but here it is the most prominent. One half is about Anakin peeking out of Vader’s mask and Obi-Wan being put in a situation Luke will be in the future but retracing his own steps from the past. The other is a villain from the Dark Side, Anakin’s mirror, decides that Luke will not die today.
Vader: He will not evade me again. And then he did! For like nine more years.
“Perhaps your feelings for your old master have left you weakened.” The ship manifesto screenplay strikes again lmao.
Vader, half a minute after That Rant: “Kenobi means nothing”. I already had that post about Anakin and never not having a master in his life in my drafts waiting for a re-reblog, now I really need to bump it up. Like it’s not an accident that the same word was just used! Vader confirms his commitment to the new master over the old one; on the other side, Obi-Wan insists that both he and Reva are now “free” of their obsession with Vader. Well, that's one way to find closure, I guess. Or, to be more precise... Obi-Wan, who is on the Light Side, and Reva, who abandons the Dark Side, get their closure by letting go. Anakin, who stays on the Dark Side, cannot let go, but is forbidden to acting on it — instead of closure, he gets despair.
Good moms show support for their children’s aesthetics and hobbies, such as: armed resistance against the oppressive state!
Alright, I laughed out loud at Leia seeing the man who saved her life and focusing on her pet droid (who nearly got them all killed) first.
Ooooh here comes the shitty overly gendered line! Oh fuck they played one of the classic themes during it. How dare they manipulate my emotions with the music that I don’t even remember the origin of!
It’s a shame Luke doesn’t look like his adult self the way Leia does.
So no final shot of Reva?! *throws phone*

Obi-Wan Part VI
Literally just spent the entire day watching Umbrella Academy and honestly my brain is sort of fried from all that time travel. But then I remembered it’s Wednesday so now I have to ALSO watch the Obi-Wan finale if I don’t want to be spoiled.
This has been such a day.
You’d really think that Ani would have learned from Obi-Wan’s mistake of leaving him to die rather then finishing him off. But no, he left Reva to die and now she’s back. Luke’s first line is about asking for something. Like the getting power coverters from the Tosche Station. I’ve never seen a blaster that looks like that much like a rifle. Qui-Gon’s not about to show up right now is he... He didn’t.
Ok I will say the thing about this series being a prequel is that I already know Beru and Owen will be fine because they’re in ANH. And I know this battle between Obi-Wan and Vader is going to end with both of them alive because they have to battle again in ANH. So it does kind of ruin some of the suspense and it lowers the stakes.
Reva walking on Tatooine in the cloak felt way too eerily like Ani. This is a great setting for a lightsaber battle with all the rocks to reflect the light. “He is my own.” Awwww. Is Qui-Gon gonna show up!?!?!? Ok he’s thinking about Luke and Leia, fineeeeee. I had JUST thought a second ago “We’ve barely actually SEEN Hayden. Are they gonna show us him in the gross Vader make-up again before the show ends?” And the answer is yes. “I am what remains.” Ohhhhh nooooo Obi-Wan’s face. “You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.” Ok so Obi-Wan wasn’t just being metaphorical when he told Luke that Vader killed his father, Vader himself said “I killed Ani to become Vader.” Fine fine fine. “Then my friend is truly dead.” God poor Obi-Wan. Reva. Reva my girl. You’re about to kill a youngling. Think about that. Ok? SEE THERE YOU GO. Sucks you had to bring back up the trauma, but yay you came around. “Have I become him?” Hell no girl.  Yay Reva!!! Oh hi Palpatine. Yeahhhh Imperial March. I would have liked to see Bail and Leia’s reunion. “Well, if you ever need my help again, you know where to find me.” “Let’s hope that day never comes.” Hahahahah. Yeah... “I think you should sleep.” Yeah. Noooooo not Leia’s Theme just to make my heart hurt more. “May the force be with you.” And the Force Theme ahhhhhh Obligatory “God I hate the elongated helmets” comment. “You want to meet him?” Ahhh. “Hello there.” Help me. Just like his first lines. QUI-GONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN “Well, took you long enough.” Took YOU long enough!
And now in 9 years Obi-Wan will age rapidly to look like Alec Guinness.
Well. I really enjoyed Obi-Wan Kenobi. I think as someone who already has a lot of appreciation for the prequels, i enjoyed it even more. I can imagine that some people who shun the prequels didn’t have AS good of a time but still probably had a good time.
And this series makes everything about Leia so much more emotional. I’m SO glad this series focused on young Leia. I think I said it in the first episode, but Star Wars is so Luke-heavy so I am very glad we got more Leia.
Plus it solves the question of why she named her son after Ben. And it makes me even sadder when Obi-Wan dies because it shows he really did spend 19 years protecting these twins, and lets himself die once he sees that they’ve found each other.
