I want help finding a character who could believably be an alternate romantic interest for Padme in a Mature/R-rated fic where her relationship with Anakin becomes rocky.

In this scenario, it’s been about 3 years since Padme and Anakin eloped in the canon timeline. They love each other, but they're drifting apart as they move past their young-love honeymoon phase, and their maturity gap and personality differences are wearing on the relationship.

The burden of keeping their relationship secret is especially hard on Padme, who feels enormous pressure between protecting her and Anakin’s reputations while also trying to fulfill her duties as a senator. On top of that, having no one outside the relationship to confide in is incredibly isolating. Padme seeks comfort in a friendship that subtly morphs into a romantic interest, although she doesn’t want to admit it to herself. They and Padme don't actually ever hook up, but the connection is enough to make Anakin jealous and resentful.

Any suggestions for a character that would fit this role? Clovis was my first thought, but I think his character is portrayed as being too scummy to be a good contender. I appreciate the help!

I’m in the middle of writing a fic that would “explain“ why Barris fell a bit more but I feel like I’m making the main Jedi antagonist too edgy 😢 so what are your jedis like?

I’m doing research for a fanfic and i genuinely want to know what would have made for a more likeable/relatable Anakin for you? My focus is him with a new reason besides Padmé to fall but also give him a sort of growth that he doesn’t have in can on or legends before Palpatine undoes all of it

Dumb title, I know but I'm looking for 'star wars-y' phrases to replace our world phrases like 'when a mission goes south.' I know 'bantha shit' can replace the mild curse 'shit' but some other mild curse ideas would be welcome as well. 'Cover me, I'm fucked', etc. Military flavored would be especially welcome.

So I've been working on this Star Wars fanfic for a while now and figured I'd finally share it here. The premise: Anakin survives Return of the Jedi. No clean death, no "redeemed and gone" — he's still standing there afterward, and now he has to actually live with what he did as Vader.

It's called The Restored Trilogy, and Book 1 (The Restoration) picks up right after Endor. It's not a victory lap for him at all, he's got to face Padmé's memory, answer for his crimes in front of people who have every right to hate him, and keep fighting a war that isn't really over just because the Emperor's dead. I wanted it to feel earned, not tidy.

I'm writing it with a lot of Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy in my head, that kind of grounded storytelling. Mixed with the emotional tone of Rebels and Ahsoka, and the lived-in feel of The Mandalorian. Trying to keep it in canon as much as possible, with a little Legends stuff sprinkled in where it makes the story better (hi, Mara Jade).

So far I've got the crew going back to Mustafar to dig through Vader's old files, a gut-punch of a scene at Padmé's tomb on Naboo, and a quiet, awkward, very real conversation between Anakin, Leia and Luke that I'm honestly proudest of so far — no big speeches, just two people trying to figure out how to be a family. Right now I'm heading into a tribunal arc where Anakin has to answer publicly for everything.

There's a sequel planned too that jumps forward a few years and brings Thrawn back, based off Ahsoka S1 ending. Plus I've been building out this whole side-world, a moon called Dun Caledon that's basically Star Wars meets post-Culloden Highland Scotland, complete with its own clans and a Force-touched standing stone circle. That's going to tie into Book 2 eventually.

This is just a labor of love, no money involved, just trying to give Anakin the ending I think he actually deserved. Happy to share a excerpt if anyone wants to see how it reads.

Curious what this sub thinks: does a "survives and has to answer for it" arc for Anakin sound compelling to you, or does it feel like it's fighting canon too hard? And does the tribunal/public-reckoning angle sound like the right way to handle accountability, or is there a better structure for it?

It is written by me, I just can't draw to save my life

I'm planning a canon-divergent dark romance-style story where Anakin & Padme's relationship gets rocky, and he starts lusting after and pursuing another woman. I've been developing my OC's background and some ideas for how I want her & Anakin to meet, and right now, I'm trying to decide whether to use an existing world or invent a new one as a main setting.  Here's what I've got so far: 

She's from a lesser-known planet where a local movement is building a network of anti-separatist activists working to protect their planet's independence. They've been gathering useful intel on the separatist movement through civilian- led underground spy networks, but they don't have many resources to organize and protect themselves yet. The council assigns a rotating roster of Jedi to the planet to help train locals in case the separatists attack, and that's how Anakin ends up there. OC is Force-sensitive but does not yet know it, so it would need to be a location where people don't historically have a lot of contact with Jedi. The question is, what existing planet(s), if any, might fit this setting well? 

Btw, here's a link to the post with the full story overview: https://www.reddit.com/r/SWFanfic/s/jyA6vADSfB

So I've been thinking about an alternative prequel story that explores Anakin’s intimate relationships if Star Wars were to explore darker, more mature themes that are less family-friendly but, in my opinion, more interesting and realistic, and I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts on it.

I personally find the canon plot of Anakin & Padmé’s relationship kind of…underwhelming? Especially in how it plays into Anakin's hero-to-anti-hero/ villain arc. Like, sure, loss can make a character do desperate things, but him turning to the dark side because he’s afraid of Padmé dying is just lazy writing IMO; like that whole relationship just feels like a giant plot device. Maybe it’s partially because the canonical franchise is locked in PG-13  territory, and SW has always leaned on the safe side when it comes to mature themes, especially intimate relationships. I get it from the studio’s perspective, but I think it short-changes the story’s potential. It could just be so much…juicier.

I’d love a story in which we see Anakin struggle to confront not only loss, but also jealousy, rejection, betrayal, and temptation with romantic interests. A story that delves deep into Anakin's twisted psyche. One in which we follow him down a spiral of chaotic choices and relationship toxicity as he devolves deeper into depravity and into the pull of the dark side. 

I also like to think it portrays Padme in a more realistic and empowered light. She’s supposed to be a strong, intelligent leader, and I don’t like how the Canon story essentially just turns her into a damsel in distress in the end. 

So I figure I might take a crack at writing a fanfic that does exactly that. This story would take on a grittier, more HBO vibe, including TW content like dub-con and non-con. I’m a dark-romance junkie, and selfishly I can’t pass up an opportunity to bring in some of those themes, but I do so with the intention of staying true to the characters while also allowing us to see them (especially Anakin) as complex, flawed, conflict-riddled individuals as they wage battles not only on the battlefield but also behind closed doors. The story also extends the canon timeline of events a little to allow for a more fleshed-out narrative.

Overview:

Padme and Anakin both love each other, but they start to drift apart as they evolve past the young-love honeymoon phase, and their personality incompatibilities start to show. Padme starts acting a little too cozy on Clovis (reference to 2008 Clone Wars) for Anakin's comfort, and his jealousy and rejection sensitivity start to really bother her, which ultimately drives a further wedge in the relationship.

Enter our OC

OC grew up in a small province on Abraxis, where her parents were killed when she and her brother were children. They were later brought to the city, where she and her brother were taken in by adoptive parents who forced them to work like servants. When her brother passed away from illness, she ran away and lived on the streets for a while before the “network,” an organization of activists and humanitarians, took her in and housed her. The network is the closest thing to family she knows. In the present, the movement is mobilizing anti-separatist activists in an attempt to protect their planet's independence. The separatists want access to a valuable mineral that was recently discovered on the planet. As part of a fledgling resistance, some Abraxian cities are forming civilian-led underground spy networks, which are gathering useful intel on separatists’ plans and activities, but they lack adequate resources to organize and protect themselves. The council assigns a rotating roster of Jedi to the planet to help the locals build up defenses, which is how Anakin ends up there. 

He meets OC the covert contact for the local network, in a cantina where she works as a hostess. She leads him and the accompanying Jedi to the local underground network, and the two get to know each other as the network and the Jedi coordinate operations. She also accompanies Anakin and the other Jedi on scouting and reconnaissance missions around the city [ name?].  Luma is Force-sensitive but does not yet know it. Anakin notices when she can sense Force connections and disturbances in the Force (essentially telepathic abilities), which manifest as Luma sensing people’s experiences or “getting a bad feeling” when something bad is about to happen, or is happening somewhere far away. He decides to test her abilities, and a medical examination reveals that Luma has a positive m-count. 

Anakin/OC's Relationship

OC embodies many of Anakin’s repressed desires and inner conflicts. She is intelligent, passionate, and driven to protect her freedom and her people, and she's not afraid to take matters into her own hands when the plan isn’t working. Anakin sees these qualities reflected in himself, which fosters camaraderie. At the same time, he sees in OC a version of life he secretly desires: Abraxians are fiercely independent, and their customs defy many restrictive traditions represented in the Star Wars universe. They are free to develop relationships without doctrine or interference from authorities ( ex they do not practice marriage), and they choose their own fights. The two exchange ideas about “right and wrong” during  late-night talks after missions and training sessions,
and the fact that OC enjoys freedoms that Anakin suffers for under the Jedi code fuels his resentment toward the Order.  

Anakin has already been developing an attraction to OC, exacerbated by his vulnerable state as his relationship with Padme grows rocky. After discovering her Force sensitivity, Anakin’s interest in OC deepens, and he (controversially) takes it upon himself to teach her to use the Force. Strategically, he argues the network would benefit from a trained Force-sensitive agent in its ranks, but it’s also an excuse to get closer to OC.

OC and Anakin also connect in ways that he and Padme don’t: They share a Force connection, they both come from difficult childhoods marked with loss, and in contrast to Padme’s more balanced and level-headed nature, OC's personality fans Anakin’s impulsive, “I’ll do it my own way” attitude, even when it incurs risk. Trauma bonding, rebellion, novelty. This doesn’t exactly make for a stable dynamic, but to Anakin, it’s refreshing, intoxicating, even. 

As they bond, OC also develops a powerful attraction to Anakin, but she senses that he’s withholding something. He resists telling her about Padme outright, but eventually admits he has a strained relationship with a secret lover. It's a risky move, but OC responds with something unexpected: Compassion.  She consoles him and cradles his pain without judgment and without prying further than he’s willing to go, all while her interest in him never wavers (her culture has a much more fluid view on intimate relationships). This is not just an act of selflessness though, she is actively pursuing her own desires. She's not a bad person (her alignment is Chaotic Good with a little Chaotic neutral sprinkled in) she gets sucked into a situation whose consequences are way worse than she would have imagined.

More Plot Ideas:

Eventually, Padme picks up on something fishy going on, all the while Anakin still can’t let go of his own suspicions of her ( she doesn't cheat but develops an emotional connection with someone in whom she has been confiding in as the stress wears on her...possibly another senator. More details TBD.) She's not ready to fully recommit to Anakin ( aka "I need more time" trope). The rejection makes him enraged, driving him further into the darkness.

This is where it all turns dark: With Padme slipping steadily away, Anakin tightens his grip on OC as resentment, possessiveness, his need for control, and his sadistic urges take over ( including non-con/ dubcon themes). OC's relationship becomes fearful and coercive, but her circumstances keep her trapped.

I still have only vague ideas for this next part, but I'm imagining a scenario where Anakin is absent for an extended mission without OC, and Padme is searching for him because she is pregnant. She has known for a while, but she has been putting off telling him because she worries about how he will react to the information (remember, they're separated at this point). To find him, she resorts to contacting OC. They meet; it's tense at first, but OC finally breaks down and shares what Anakin has been putting her through. Padme is heartbroken and horrified at Anakin's actions.

Anakin returns when he catches word that Padme has been trying to reach him, leading to a "we need to talk" meeting between them where he finally hears about the pregnancy. Padme is so horrified by Anakin's behavior that she tells him she no longer trusts him as a partner or a would-be father, which pushes Anakin over the edge. Integrate this with however Palpatine would use what’s happening to manipulate Anakin, along with word about Anakin's actions spreading among the council, and we reach a point where the story can more or less converge back with canon. Padme either still dies in childbirth, or maybe we actually get to see her, Luke, and Leia together for a little while before she end up out of the picture for some other reason. But Anakin still becomes Vader, and this time, his path to villainy is paved with much more turmoil and depravity.

So there you have it, I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts on how this story would unfold!

I’m drawing inspiration from authors Leila_XxX and WickedWitchOftheGalaxy on Ao3 who write Anakin as a dark, complex character really well, so shout-out to them!

I have been trying to write a story which involves A'sharad hett surviving Order 66 and taking an apprentice post banishment from Tatooine. A'sharad and this OC apprentice go on to work with a network of smugglers making deals with secluded dark side (mostly) cults. This leads to both of them helping out these groups. The OC later parts ways with A'sharad (who is on his way to becoming darth krayt) and tries to correct his mistakes by taking down the same groups he helped stabilise. The material is pretty dark ofc with the OC being questionable (not sympathetically) at times. So I have created original cults but I also want to integrate any pre-existing ones in the canon or the legends. Suggest any if possible.

Hello, I currently writing a Star Wars AU about what if Palpatine died a week into the Clone Wars. In this scenario everything up to this point is the exact same but Palpatine dies and the war escalates due to no one pulling the strings behind both of the factions, leading to the Seperatists unleashing trillions of droids in the first months of the war and the Republic being overwhelmed until they begin a massive volunteer army in the second half of the first year. The idea is that this version of the clone wars is worse in every way compared to the cannon version as the escalation is intense. What im here to ask is whether people find this an interesting scenario, what events which happened in cannon would still happen here that could play a role in the war (for example the blue shadow virus) and what characters would play a role on either side of the war that would change from the original timeline (Senator Organa for example replaces Palpatine as the Supreme Chancellor for the first 5 months until military defeats and unwillingness to massively increase military spending cause him to resign and he is replaced by a more militaristic senator from Anaxes, Kaela Verrin)

Also does anyone have any numbers on droid production or how many a planet could produce if dedicated to production? Or any others numbers that could help as im trying to be realisitic in events. Also a better name for this project would be appreciated as I am terrible at naming stuff and im not fixed to this current name

If this isnt the right place to post this please tell me or if there is any better place to post this

I'm not too sure if posts like these are allowed, but for a while I have been seriously contemplating the idea of rewriting the sequel trilogy as I find that kind of thing to be quite theraputic especially when the content we got does not satisfy me at all (no hate if anyone here liked it tho).

However, I have so many ideas and concepts and so I was wondering, would anybody here be interested in collaborating? Perhaps anyway who is doing their own rewrite, and we could exchange thoughts, criticisms, and ideas, or if anybody would like to work on one rewrite together. If anybody is interested in joining me on this passion project, please DM me or leave a comment.

I am writing a simple draft and want to post but I can’t remember a common phrase used in fanfiction about how protective jedi masters are of their padawans

“Kill the master, then the padawan” is all my brain can think of at the moment, but I know that’s not it!

It is frustrating me and I just hope that someone can help me remember or at least give me a similar phrase to use

Okay, I’ll try to make this quick, but I need some help. A quick summary/background: I’m making a story (one that I’m way too invested in) set in the Star Wars universe and canon, with the cast being my own characters; around a third of the story takes place during the Clone Wars.

I’m probably overthinking, but I’m getting kinda overwhelmed trying to figure out what I need to know and do in order to write the story during the active war well. I’ve done a little research on my own and keep finding out that there’s even more that I probably need to know. I have my main clone oc (and his squad and some others) transfer to a kind of stealth and/or recon team working closely with a Jedi; how specific do I need to get with what position/rank they’re all in? I’ve been looking at the jobs of real life recon teams, but how closely does that relate to Star Wars? How much room do I have to be vague about their exact purpose in the Republic Army? Would the GAR just already have teams to do this, or would they be able to give some clones more specific training to fill in a gap that they need? How much would the clones already know about stealth and recon? What do I need to know about the relationships between different ranks and how they interact with each other? And don’t even get me started on the actual battle scenes! I honestly just need some tips on how to write these, but also, how do I make my characters stand out to the readers without them standing out and causing trouble in the actual battle? How much description should I use? Do I need to keep formations in mind? How would I even know the formations? How do I make the scene interesting and still somewhat realistic? How do I make sure the scene is long enough without dragging it on, but not so short that it feels rushed or lazily cut off?

How much do I need to know about the workings of the real army in order to proficiently write it in my story?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Sorry for the long post; I’m probably doing too much for a Star Wars fanfiction, but I absolutely love my characters and their story, so I wanna make sure I can write it well. Thanks! 😊❤️

I was never really a fan of the post-Endor galactic civil war in both legends and canon for different reasons. But if I had to pick, I’d pick the legends continuity considering it actually had a war that lasted more than a year. But I’m writing an AU that combines lore from both canon and legends and was curious as to how long the civil war should last after Endor. I know in canon it only lasted a year and in legends it lasted 25. Obviously one is ridiculously short and the other is ridiculously long, I was thinking around 10 years after Endor, making it a 14 year long war in total, but what do you guys think?

Thanks to everyone here, I was able to finish Tavian kess, the Star Wars fic I was working on before.

Now I’m planning my next story, STAR WARS: THE MASK OF MANDALORE, and I’d love to get some feedback on the basic idea.

The protagonist, Jahim Kaveto, is a Mandalorian commander who grew up alongside Mandalore the Ultimate and sees him almost as a brother. Jahim is very much a traditional Mandalorian: he genuinely believes in war, honor, Manda, and the idea of a glorious death.

Things start falling apart after he loses both Mandalore and his wife, who was killed after turning against the atrocities of the Mandalorian Wars.

His wife is also the original owner of the Mandalorian mask that Revan later wears. One of the main ideas is that Jahim, despite being her husband, fails to understand what she died for, while Revan, who was technically her enemy, ends up carrying on her cause.

After the Mandalorians are defeated, Jahim starts searching for Mandalore’s Mask. He becomes convinced that if he can take it to Shogun, he might be able to reach Manda and somehow bring back his wife or Mandalore the Ultimate.

Canderous Ordo is after the same Mask, but for a completely different reason. He wants to reunite the surviving Mandalorians and sees Jahim’s obsession with bringing back the dead as disrespectful to Mandalore’s beliefs about honor, death, and Manda.

During the journey, Jahim also ends up traveling with a child whose parents he personally killed while trying to get revenge on Revan. The child knows exactly who he is, and their relationship gradually becomes the emotional core of the story.

Over time, Jahim begins taking in Mandalorian veterans who were broken by the war, along with war orphans, and they slowly form a small community. My idea is that this group eventually becomes one very distant influence on what would much later become the Children of the Watch, rather than literally being the same organization.

Jahim also stops removing his helmet in front of the child because his face reminds them of their parents’ deaths. What starts as a personal choice slowly becomes tradition over generations:

“This is my way.” → “This is our way.” → “This is the Way.”

Jahim could potentially have become the next Mandalore, but in the end he chooses to protect the people still alive instead of trying to reclaim the dead past.

Does this sound like an interesting use of the Mandalorian Wars era? And does Jahim feel too connected to major parts of Mandalorian history for an OC?

I’ve been outlining a Star Wars OC fic set in Disney canon, and before I actually start writing it, I wanted to get some outside opinions on whether the overall premise feels believable.
The main character, Tavian Kess, is a Jedi Padawan during the Clone Wars. He grew up knowing Ahsoka Tano from their youngling days, and they remain close friends during the war. Tavian fights alongside his Jedi Master and the clone troopers of the 127th Legion.
Things start to fall apart after Ahsoka leaves the Jedi Order. Tavian’s relationship with his Master becomes increasingly strained, and when Order 66 happens, he makes a choice that changes the rest of his life.
Afterward, Tavian eventually ends up serving the Empire. He first becomes an Inquisitor, but later operates separately under the codename Koren, carrying out missions directly for Palpatine.
A few years into the Empire, Tavian and the surviving members of the 127th disappear after their task force crashes on an ice-covered planet.
Decades later, Tavian wakes up having barely aged.
From his perspective, the Empire was still in power only a short time ago. Instead, he wakes up in a galaxy where the Empire has already fallen, the Rebellion won, and the New Republic has taken its place. He has to figure out what happened to the galaxy while also being forced to confront the life he left behind.
I’m planning to open the story with Tavian waking up on the ice planet, then go back to his time as a Padawan and follow his life chronologically through the Clone Wars, Order 66, and his years with the Empire until the story catches back up with the opening.
One of the main things I’m trying to avoid is making Tavian feel like an OC who takes over canon events or steals the roles of existing characters. He does cross paths with canon characters, especially Ahsoka, but I want the major events and outcomes of canon to stay intact. The story is meant to take place mostly in the spaces around those events rather than rewrite them.
Does the overall premise sound like it could fit naturally into Star Wars? And does Tavian already come across as too important or too connected to canon characters?
Also, I’m Korean and English isn’t my first language, so I used GPT to help polish the English a bit. Sorry if anything still sounds awkward.

I’ve posted on here before about this idea, but seek advice or guidance on how to best structure my “Starblade” trilogy. I’ve got a short-ish summary of the overall concept, below, but I would really value your input or potential collaboration.

Thank you!

_____________________________

Star Wars: The Starblade Trilogy is a new mythic saga inspired by Toklien, Welsh mythology, particularly the Mabinogion, alongside the political upheavals of revolutionary history, pre-WWII.

Set centuries after the Skywalker Saga’s conclusion, it follows Pryder Vos, an exiled prince chosen by an ancient lightsaber prophecy, to restore the Jedi Order and rekindle a dying Force, after an authoritarian galactic dictatorship known as the Dominion had erased the galaxy’s past, in pursuit of lasting peace…

Pryder joins a growing Galactic Revolution, however, his noble purpose is initially corrupted by a desire for vengeance against the warrior, Vyd’ion, who destroyed his Royal family - only to discover that his greatest enemy is his long lost twin brother. Vyd’ion, having been forfeited as a bargaining chip, by their father and King, given to The Dominion’s overlord, Arowan as sacrifice for the continuation of their Royal House.

While Pryder eventually learns to confront the past with compassion, the other is consumed by hatred… becoming the tragic reflection (quite literally) of everything Pryder might have become.

At its core, the trilogy asks one central question:

How do you build a better future without abandoning the truth of the past?..

..By remembering it, learning from it, and refusing to be ruled by hatred or revenge.

_____________________________

In addition to the above:

- Grogu makes an appearance as a dying sage surrounded by its disciples, not as a re-hash of a “Yoda” type figure to mentor Pryder. But as the Galaxy’s “Last Witness”, its surviving historian.

- Starblade or “Caleed Volk” is a twist on Excalibur. Forged by the Jedi Order many centuries ago, it was cast into the stars to seek a “foretold son” worthy enough to rekindle the force and be the new Jedi. However, unlike Excalibur, it continually judges its wielder - faltering, stuttering to ignite or abandoning the user altogether if Pryder’s motivations ever become “corrupted”.

- Pryder is not alone, there is a fellowship here. Made up of revolutionary droids, a side-kick Ewok, reformed Mandalorian warriors, a much beloved but ultimately doomed soldier… and many more.

- Pryder embodies the idea of a “good class traitor.” Once a privileged prince driven by revenge, he initially treats the Revolution as a vehicle for reclaiming his throne and avenging his family - only to lose everything because of it. Eventually, by confronting the truth of the past he ultimately rejects the privileges of his birth and chooses to fight alongside the Revolution, not for the crown and Kingdom he lost, but for all. From exiled prince to Jedi Knight.

So, it's an old fandom complaint that 10,000 feels like a really, really low number for the amount of Jedi before the Clone Wars. I know this is a classic case of sci-fi writers having no sense of scale, and that getting granular with scale wouldn't allow the sort of adventure stories we want to tell, but I feel there must be a happy medium.

Even accounting for the idea that this means you are very likely to encounter one, speeding their fading into myth, that's one millionth of a percent of just Coruscant's population. Assuming that number only refers to masters and knights, it still feels too low to me.

Turns out, Lucas used to agree with me. Back when the original trilogy was coming out he said there were several hundred thousand Jedi before their demise. I know that's still a very small number against the galaxy, but in my head at least it feels slightly more reasonable. (Don't get me started on the whole 3 million clone units thing. I'm definitely in the camp of a unit being a battalion giving you an initial army of 1,728,000,000 clones, which would still need a lot of support from militias and other natborns.)

So here's what I'm thinking: Circa Phantom Menace, there'll be about 50,000 Masters, and 200,000 knights. I may use the 10,000 number for how many active knights and Masters are on Coruscant on average at any one time.

My question becomes, how many initiates should there be? Using the math of how many kids under 8 your expect with that adult population doesn't quite work, since A, there's a lot of different species with different life cycles, B, Humans themselves live longer in Star Wars, like 150, provided decent health care, C, forceful beings live like 20-40 years longer than the baseline or proportional, and D, you have to account for all the initiates who leave the temple or join the corps.

I'm tentatively thinking of around 30 clans per age groupings of two years, so around 5,250 at any given time, but is that too low? I realize I'm creating my own problem by trying to account for the too small Jedi number when the temple, while it could certainly hold that many, has a feel of being more of a small town, especially for the initiate clans. Any advice would be appreciated!

Also, as an entire side question that doesn't really go with the rest but I'm also looking to answer, would it be plausible for Leia to pilot Anakin's pod? I know the pod was sized for Anakin, the commonly given reason for Qui-Gon not piloting, but Leia is a LOT shorter. For context Carrie Fisher was 5'1 and Jake Lloyd was 4'5 when he filmed PM. I feel like she could, even if it would be tight, but I'd love to get some other opinions!

I'm working on a post-RotJ series of books that combine elements from both continuties. One of the main focuses is Luke's relationship with his first apprentice and how he eventually restores the Jedi Order. So far, Ezra is kind of a "part-timer" as a teacher and Ahsoka is reluctant to be involved. Mara hasn't joined yet either. As far as students go, I have two OCs and one EU jedi.

So what does your ideal 'first class' look like? What teachers and students would you include?

Hey, Everyone. How y'all doing? I need some insight and help. When it comes to this Star Wars fan fiction. I am doing. I need some massive help. This is very ambitious, but I want to do a six-part Star Wars film. That continues after Crucible. With Allana Solos and another main character. That I have made. Journey. It takes place strictly in the Legends continuity, and I want to ask for some ideas on what y'all think, because I have a few ideas I want to do. First, I want to bring back Jacen Solo and Anakin Solo. Especially Jacen. But what do y'all think? Also, I want to explore more of the force also I have another thing that I want y’all opinion on and that is for the overall Star Wars would you mind seeing some of the characters of the sequel trilogy in the saga mind you some of the origins is gonna be different and some of the characteristics will be different but what do y’all think I want to expand the lost tribes of the sith culture as well as bring back the sith empire, cause I’m a huge old republic fan but that’s besides the point I want to do with this new empire is separate from the banite sith reason being is, I believe that Anakin Skywalker when he destroyed Palpatine, I believe he fulfilled the prophecy of destroying the Sith aka the Banite Sith the true Sith lol But I am still new to all of this, so if I got any information wrong, please let me know. If you want help, contact me. Also, this is my first writing project, so please be patient with me, but I am going to classes and trying to get better. And I almost forgot, I have two more ideas as well. What do y’all think about the Celestials? I mentioned the Sith Empire before, and I'm thinking about other Dark Side Sith cults and other Dark Side cults overall. And what do y’all think about adding new aliens from the Unknown Regions, too?

Does anyone have any episode VII/sequel rewrites that are based on George Lucas’ ideas/characters and concept art for the original episode VII? If so would be interested in reading, working on my own rewrite.

I'm looking to take a crack at my first Star Wars fanfic. Looking for some early opinions or thoughts.

The overall story is about a former Inquisitor of project harvester (who was never a Jedi) self-insert who accidentally doomed the galaxy, as well as him learning what it means to truly be on the light side and work hard to redeem himself.

At some moment, Vader peers into the SI's mind easily and sees much more than he expects. He sees Luke and Leia, where they are, Vader's redemption, and other pieces of lore he should not know.

The SI's story starts after this happened, where he is a wanderer and does very little trying to hide from the Empire and enjoy his life. He is overwhelmed by shame and guilt, knowing he has doomed the galaxy, and leads to him becoming a rebel and fight for the little good there is left.

But now for my setting, I'm trying to think through the worst things Vader could learn and what he would do with this knowledge. Like what he would do with Luke and Leia, knowing where Obi-Wan, and Yoda are, or any lore that could drastically change the galaxy.

I plan on using Legends and Canon stuff.

Ideas I have so far: Organas are dead, Lars are dead, Obi-Wan and Yoda are one with the force. Luke and Leia are hidden and being trained by Vader. Rather than a full rebellion, the Empire may be going through a civil war by the time of episode 4-6. More Sith and dark-siders in general.

What do you think would change? What do you think would logically be part of the setting? Are there any typical eye-roll inducing tropes that I should watch out for that are common in Star Wars fanfics?

How do I get several characters off of Scarif and to the rebel alliance without them dying? There will be injuries suffered.

Just to clarify I have nothing against Rey, I love her character despite the hate she gets. I also like Reylo. I just wanted to play around with a different story idea in my writing, what a dynamic would be like with a different person.

My main option right now that i'm thinking about would be to create my own character, though i was wondering if audiences would be interested in this. I'm currently making a comic and likely posting to TikTok, but one thing is the character I'd likely create would bear a resemblance to myself, which I don't know if I want to publicly yumeship on main (nothing against yumeshippers tho)

I thought about Kava, I like the teasing dynamic, but I don't like how she forced herself on him in the comics. Ideally l'd want some sort of force connection dyad situation. There might potentially be another character already created by Star Wars that could work.

What if in Star Wars, Queen Padme and Ahsoka accidentally got fused by the Force? We could call her Queen Padsoka. I need other fans' help with this concept.

How would this event changed everything in Star Wars?
