	Title: The Skywalker Prophecy – Episode III: The Chosen Future Author: Darth_Lex Timeframe: ROTS AU Characters: Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Palpatine Genre: Action, Drama, Romance Keywords: AU Notes: Prequel to The Skywalker Prophecy Trilogy Summary: After the Battle of Coruscant a series of different decisions take heroes and villains in new directions, culminating in the one choice that changes everything. An AU beginning during the events of Revenge of the Sith. Disclaimer: Lucasfilm owns all the rights to Star Wars. I don’t. No infringement is intended or profit to be made by me. *************************************************** To familiar faces, welcome back! To new readers, welcome! After almost a year off, I’m returning to The Skywalker Prophecy saga. Taking a page from George, I’m writing the definitive “prequel” to my “classic trilogy” epic. Just as Attack of the Clones inspired my first fanfics, Revenge of the Sith has spawned all sorts of great plot bunnies for me. Most of all, it gave me the canon story I’d been awaiting for so long – and I couldn’t help but write my AU of ROTS, just like I did the OT. For the continuity buffs among you: Yes, I’m making a clean break with the existing backstory in the trilogy. Someday a “Special Edition” version of the trilogy may rewrite all those references for consistency with this story, but in the meantime the “continuity errors” I’m creating in the trilogy are just that – backstory. All the events that take place within the trilogy stand on their own, just as they are. In writing this alternate universe Revenge of the Sith, I draw heavily on both the film and Matt Stover’s novelization. In particular, the political subplots involving Padmé that were cut from the film but remain prominent in the novel will play a major role in this story, as do the characterizations as elaborated in the novel. Nevertheless, I hope to write this story so that you can fully enjoy it even if you haven’t read the novel (although you should!). And so begins Episode III: The Chosen Future. *************************************************** Teaser Trailer The Fox Logo appears and fades. The Lucasfilm Logo appears and fades. The haunting melody of “Across the Stars” begins as a series of images appears simultaneously with spoken words. Announcer (voiceover): This summer, the producers of the award-winning Skywalker Prophecy trilogy … Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker stands at a battle assessment table with Artoo Detoo at his side. The holographic images of clonetroopers and walkers fighting infantry and artillery droids flicker away, replaced by a display of the Jedi Council in session from the perspective of a chair along its circle. Announcer (voiceover): … take you back to where it all began. With a group of leading legislators gathered behind her, Senator Padmé Amidala stands across from Supreme Chancellor Palpatine at the large desk in his ceremonial office. Outside the wide windows the skies of Coruscant are thick with dark storm clouds. Announcer (voiceover): Join us as we return to the heroic era of the Clone Wars … Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, and Yoda sit on stones at the edge of a small pool at the base of a short waterfall in the Room of a Thousand Fountains. Obi-Wan rubs a hand over his beard, meets their gazes in turn, and nods reluctantly. Announcer (voiceover): … for an adventure of drama and intrigue that finally reveals … As the last rays of dusk fall over the glittering cityscape of Coruscant beyond the verandah, Anakin turns away from Padmé and gazes toward the Jedi Temple in the distance. After she reaches out to take his right hand in both of hers, he turns back to face her with a single tear streaking his cheek. Announcer (voiceover): … the one choice that changed everything. Anakin and Padmé stand at the railing of a small balcony overlooking the towering spires of Coruscant, which are aglow with the orange hues of dawn. Facing away, she leans back into him as his arms close around her waist and he gently rests his chin atop her head. The music shifts abruptly to the pounding rhythms of “Duel of the Fates.” Chancellor Palpatine (voiceover): I am the Senate! In the conference room aboard the Tantive IV, Padmé sits across the small table from Senator Bail Organa, who paces deliberately with his hands clasped behind his back. When he turns to face her, she shakes her head in frustration and crosses her arms defiantly. Obi-Wan Kenobi (voiceover): He is in great danger. Anakin stands in an empty hangar on Utapau. He shrugs off his black cloak and calmly unclips his lightsaber handle from his belt. A short distance away General Grievous flicks off his cape, splits out his arms, and ignites a lightsaber in each of his four hands. Mace Windu (voiceover): You’re under arrest, Chancellor. With Obi-Wan and Yoda at his shoulders, Mace strides through the open portal to the Chancellor’s private office. As soon as all three have passed through, they draw their lightsabers and ignite the blue, green, and purple incandescent blades. Bail Organa (voiceover): I will not allow a thousand years of democracy to be swept away. Senator Bail Organa stands at the head of a conference table, around which a dozen other Senators, not including Padmé, are seated. Suddenly the room’s door slides upward and white-armored clonetroopers burst inside with their blaster rifles at the ready. The music transitions seamlessly to the tragic tones of “Padmé’s Ruminations,” now without spoken words. Obi-Wan and Padmé walk side by side toward the gloomy nighttime terrace of the verandah. Her silken nightgown clearly reveals her pregnancy. She stops, puts a hand on his arm, takes a deep breath. With Anakin at his shoulder, Palpatine stands at the head of a large conference table in a lavishly appointed meeting room in the Senate building. Seated along the table are Padmé, Bail, and other leading Senators. At the far end sit Mace, Obi-Wan, and a holographic image of Yoda. In a dark room illuminated only by three slender slits of light from a window, Anakin sits cross-legged on a round meditation stool. His head is bowed, his eyes are closed, and his hands are folded in his lap. Slowly he raises his head and opens his eyes, a look of intense determination on his face. The music again shifts abruptly to the driving beat of “Battle of the Heroes.” Padmé Amidala (voiceover): He’ll listen to me. I can save him. Obi-Wan and Padmé sit in the cockpit of her Naboo skiff. As they operate the console to prepare for takeoff, he flashes her a worried glance, which she returns with an unconvincingly reassuring smile. Then she turns over her shoulder as See Threepio takes his seat in a chair behind them. Anakin Skywalker (voiceover): I can’t live without her. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine gazes out the wide windows of his office into the dark nighttime skies of Coruscant. Beside him, Anakin stands with his arms crossed and a grim scowl on his face. He watches a flash of lightning outside, looks to the Chancellor, and nods. Announcer (voiceover): You’ve seen the future … A tall figure hooded in a billowing black cloak strides purposefully down the corridor of the Separatist command bunker on the volcanic world of Mustafar. In the deep shadows of the hallway the faint light barely catches the face beneath the cowl – Anakin’s. Announcer (voiceover): … so you know how this ends. Her chrome Naboo skiff behind her on the Mustafar landing platform, Padmé sobs in dismay as she looks into Anakin’s eyes. He reaches for her hand, but she yanks it away and takes a long step backward. Suddenly her eyes bulge and she grimaces in excruciating pain. Announcer (voiceover): Or do you? On the Mustafar landing platform, Anakin has his back turned to Obi-Wan. They exchange unheard words before Obi-Wan holds out his hands in a gesture of conciliation. In reply Anakin snatches his lightsaber handle from his belt, spins around, and ignites his shimmering blue blade. As “Battle of the Heroes” soars to conclusion, white text on a black background appears. STAR WARS AU: THE SKYWALKER PROPHECY EPISODE III THE CHOSEN FUTURE Announcer (voiceover): Rated PG. Now Playing. *************************************************** Episode III: The Chosen Future PROLOGUE Victory! The Battle of Coruscant has ended in a stunning and overwhelming triumph for the Grand Army of the Republic. The Jedi heroes Kenobi and Skywalker, the Negotiator and the Hero With No Fear, have once again accomplished the impossible. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the Republic’s revered leader, has been rescued. Count Dooku, the political mastermind of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, is dead. General Grievous, the barbaric commander of the Droid Army, is on the run. The tattered remnants of the Separatist invasion force have fled the jubilant capital for their besieged strongholds in the Outer Rim. After three long, horrible years, the Clone Wars have been won. Or have they? In clandestine plots hidden from the Galactic Senate and the public, in machinations concealed in shadows, the Republic teeters on the brink of apocalypse. Despite the petition of the Delegation of Two Thousand for armistice negotiations with the Separatists, the Chancellor moves to solidify his control of the Army, the Jedi, and the Senate until unconditional surrender is achieved. The Jedi Council, pledged to defend the Republic and its principles and serve the Senate, seeks evidence of treason in the Chancellor’s dealings and contemplates the unthinkable action of deposing the Republic’s elected ruler. In secret meetings Senators Padmé Amidala of Naboo and Bail Organa of Alderaan lead a small group of legislators devoted to toppling the corrupt regime and restoring democracy. Shrouded by the dark side of the Force, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious manipulates everything toward his diabolical ambition: annihilation of the Jedi Order and declaration of his Galactic Empire. In the midst of the deepening crisis, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One prophesied to destroy the Sith and restore balance to the Force, is torn between conflicting allegiances to Padmé, the Jedi, and his mentor the Chancellor. Yet his thoughts are haunted by a vision of his pregnant wife’s death in childbirth. Consumed by fear of losing her, he pursues the ultimate knowledge of the Force: the power to stop death. Now the endgame is at hand. General Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives at Utapau to confront Grievous. Democracy’s guardians prepare to strike. The Chancellor reveals his true identity to Anakin, and offers him the Sith secrets to the abilities he seeks. The final battle of the Clone Wars has no military or political objective. It is the battle for Anakin Skywalker’s soul… “You were right.” Padmé Amidala brushed away the hand offered for support and lowered herself onto the long sofa in the sitting room of her apartment. The haze of clouds that had shrouded the capital since the end of the battle in its atmosphere three days earlier dulled the sunlight beaming in the wide windows. “I admit it. You were right.” Her dear friend settled into one of the chairs opposite her. He leaned forward, propped his elbows on his knees, and clasped his hands. “I’m sorry. I know this must be very difficult for you.” Padmé nodded weakly. How could she have failed to see the truth so plainly in front of her? How could she have continued to trust the man whose deeds and words – the last year in particular – pointed in a single direction? How could she have defended him, when all he had done was betray the values she always had thought he believed in above all else? “Don’t give up hope just yet,” Bail Organa said. “We still have at least one more chance to turn the tide in the Senate.” “No. It is too late for that.” Reflexively her hands moved to shield her belly. To protect her baby. He noticed her gesture, of course, and smiled reassuringly. “As long as Palpatine says we are at war, his supermajority will give him everything he wants.” “You said yourself the Jedi have Grievous pinned down. He is only days away from defeat now, if not hours. Then everything will change.” Padmé swallowed the urge to tell him. Not just that the Jedi Master on his way to capture or kill the biodroid general was none other than Obi-Wan. Not just about her sources of information from within the very Council itself, and the allies the Jedi might prove to be to their cause. No, she wanted to tell him everything. “I pray you are right, Bail. I truly do. But I fear even that won’t be enough.” “Surely there are many who will side with us, once it is clear that –” “It’s not about the war,” she said. “Don’t you see?” Before that fateful meeting in the Chancellor’s office, she had assured her staunchest ally that Palpatine was not the tyrant Bail said he was. She had been so certain that Palpatine would listen. That he would understand. That he would stand on the principles he always had. That he would give up his emergency powers, and restore democratic rule in the Senate. Now, after his reaction to the petition of the Delegation of Two Thousand – after his reaction to her – she knew without a doubt he never would. “He’s turned democracy against itself,” she said, fighting back the wetness building behind her eyes. “Democracy made him a dictator. Now the only way to oppose him is to reject the Senate.” Her friend sat silently, letting her say what she needed to. He hadn’t been at the meeting, and for good reason. But that also meant he could never understand what it had been like in there. How much it had hurt. “Look what we’re doing, Bail,” she pressed on. “Secret meetings. Coded messages. Plotting behind closed doors to overthrow the government.” A single tear traced down her cheek. “That’s not democracy. That’s just a different kind of tyranny.” Bail spread his hands. “Padmé –” “Secrets. Lies. We’re deceiving our families and our friends. I’m keeping secrets from the Queen, and you’re doing the same to your people.” She was so tired of the lies and the secrets. So tired of lying about Anakin – and of keeping secrets from him. “He’s twisted everything around until we’ve become the very thing we swore we would always oppose.” “I don’t like it any more than you do,” Bail replied. “In fact, I hate every minute of it. But, Padmé, you must never lose sight of the deeper truth beneath all this.” He sat up and gave her a calm, confident smile. “Palpatine’s goal is to destroy democracy. Ours is to preserve it.” “To restore it.” She took a slow, deep breath, and smiled back. “You’re right. Again.” The starfighter settled smoothly onto its landing gear on the stone platform deep in the Utapau sinkhole, and Geenine toodled an affirmation of readiness. “All right,” Obi-Wan Kenobi said. “Give me a moment.” He closed his eyes and drew on the Force to center himself. He still felt uneasy; he’d felt that way ever since the end of the Battle of Coruscant. Something was happening, and quickly. Not just the end of the war, although he sensed that clearly enough. Something bigger. More important. And Anakin was at the center of it. “No time for this,” he admonished himself under his breath, even as he realized the Force wasn’t giving him any balance at all, only further tremors of disorder and tumult. Still, a small smile crept over his face. “Keep your focus on the here and now, where it belongs. You have a job to do.” The cockpit canopy cycled open. Obi-Wan drew his brown cloak around him and stepped gracefully to the stone. Drawing his way was a small group of planetary dignitaries. Tall, thin humanoids the locals called the Ancients. One of them closed the distance and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, young Jedi. I am Tion Medon, master of port administration for this place of peace. What brings you to our remote sanctuary?” Obi-Wan gathered his hands in front of him and returned the bow. “Unfortunately, the war.” “There’s no war here,” Medon lied, while the Force around him sprang alive with the truth, “unless you have brought it with you.” Obi-Wan took a step closer. “With your kind permission, I would like some fuel, and to use your city as a base while I search nearby systems for General Grievous.” Medon nodded, then turned away and issued instructions to the deck crew. Three of the short, stocky aliens the locals called the Shorts scurried toward the fighter with a thick fueling hose. When he turned back, Medon leaned closer and whispered, “He is here.” Obi-Wan leaned in, and listened. “We are being held hostage,” Medon continued, hurrying for time. “They are watching us. Tenth level. Thousands of battle droids.” Obi-Wan had to move quickly, then. A plan already was taking shape in his mind. He would have just enough time to find and confront Grievous before Cody and his men landed. In the meantime, Medon could get his people to shelter and gather his warriors. Soon Utapau would be free again, and this would all be over. It may all be for nothing, his conscience said. “I understand,” he told Medon. The Force surged and swelled around Obi-Wan. Not now, he thought, shunting the warning aside. You have a job to do. Remember? Even as the next instructions formed on his lips, though, his mind betrayed him. “If you would only follow the Code, you would be on the Council,” he had said so long ago. And how long it had been since he had heard the somber rejoinder, “I shall do what I must.” “Tell your people to take shelter,” he said, and began to lean away. “You’re going to need me for this one, Master,” his best friend had said. What Anakin had meant was, “I’m going to need you.” Medon gave the slightest of nods. “Soon you will be free,” Obi-Wan said. “You have my word.” They each stepped away and bowed in farewell. In an instant, Obi-Wan was climbing into the cockpit. “Geenine, transmit to Cody: Inform the Temple we have engaged Grievous. Implement total blockade effective immediately. Further orders when I return.” The astromech bleeped in confirmation, and the communications array began to whir even before Obi-Wan had settled into the seat. What was it Anakin had said? “When it comes to wisdom, you’re no Qui-Gon Jinn.” Obi-Wan grinned, and snapped on his headset. “It’s about time I finally proved him wrong on something.” He was out of his element. Striding quickly through the corridors of the Galactic Senate, ignoring the startled cries and grumbled protests of those he barreled past, Anakin Skywalker had no idea what to do. Fixing things. That’s what he was good at. Taking action. Making things right. It didn’t matter if it was repairing his starfighter or blasting vulture droids, modifying his lightsaber or rescuing a pinned-down platoon, improving his cybernetic right arm or winning a battle. He always felt better when he was doing something. Right now, though… Right now he had thinking to do. Not that he was opposed to thinking, at least in principle. He just didn’t enjoy it, the way Obi-Wan and Yoda seemed to thrive on contemplation. Over the years he’d grown to tolerate Jedi meditation techniques, because he saw their value in gaining knowledge and power in the Force. He’d learned a great deal of military strategy during the war, especially in the quiet weeks before Praesitlyn half a year earlier, and he knew its value in beating his enemies. And he’d come to understand long ago that outsmarting your opponent was often a quicker path to victory than overpowering him. “I will soon discover the truth of all this,” he had declared just before he’d left the Chancellor – the Dark Lord of the Sith – behind. Right now, it felt even less convincing than when he’d said it. No, he wasn’t a thinker. Obi-Wan was a thinker. The Chancellor was a thinker. Not Anakin. Right now the worst part was, he had no idea what to think. Anakin stormed past the security guards at the landing platform and went straight to his Jedi airspeeder. An effortless vault landed him smoothly into the pilot’s seat, and a moment later he was aloft in the darkening skies of late evening. He set course for the Jedi Temple. He would do what he had told the Chancellor – he would inform the Jedi Council of the truth. And yet… Over a dozen years of apprenticeship made his first intuition to talk to Obi-Wan. But his former Master was operational on Utapau, and no transmission in the galaxy was secure enough for this. Besides, he already knew what Obi-Wan would say. The Sith had to be destroyed. That was what the Council wanted, so that’s what Obi-Wan did. “If he asked me to spy on you,” Anakin had demanded, “do you think I would do it?” The echoes of betrayal still rang in his head. The Council wouldn’t care that Anakin needed Palpatine’s knowledge of the Force to save Padmé, and neither would Obi-Wan. “If I die,” Palpatine had said, “any chance of saving her is lost.” And Palpatine was right. If Anakin didn’t learn the power to stop death, and fast, Padmé was as good as gone. His premonitions had an uncanny way of coming true, especially when they were bad. The Chancellor seemed to be right about a lot of things lately. About the war. About the Senate. About the Jedi Council, and how they didn’t trust Anakin. About how really it was more than that – they feared him. About how everyone else always seemed to want something from Anakin, while Palpatine only helped him. About the Force, and its secrets. Except… except the Chancellor was the Dark Lord of the Sith. His mentor, his friend, the man he had trusted with his deepest secrets and darkest fears – was evil. He couldn’t be trusted. At the opera he’d even conceded that the Sith looked inward, only to themselves. So everything he did, everything he said, wasn’t really for Anakin at all; it was for himself. And yet… Despite all that, everything he had said still just made so much… sense. A lot more sense than anything the Jedi had said lately. Anakin doubted he’d ever been this confused in his entire life. But none of that mattered right now. All that mattered was one simple fact – Anakin needed Palpatine alive long enough to learn what he needed to save Padmé. He wasn’t going to lose her, not the way he’d lost his mother. He was going to stop her from dying. No matter what. Except… except the Chancellor was the Dark Lord of the Sith. Palpatine was Sidious. It was all so crazy. He’d been right the other day when he’d told Padmé he wasn’t the Jedi he should be. A real Jedi wouldn’t be this confused about anything. Jedi were – Just before he’d left for Utapau, Obi-Wan had called Anakin wise. That was a word that didn’t come up very often when Jedi Masters talked about him. And just before Anakin had left the office, the Chancellor had called him wise too. It wasn’t the first time he’d said that, either. But how could a Jedi and a Sith both think he was wise? It didn’t make any sense. “I’m not the wise one. Ask anybody.” He’d said it himself just the other day, although it felt like a lifetime ago. And he didn’t want to be wise right now. He just wanted to be himself. He just wanted to save Padmé. Just like that, the truth he’d been looking for struck him in the chest like a blaster bolt. Padmé. Like the Jedi never had, she loved him for who he was. Unlike the Jedi and the Sith, she didn’t expect him to be wise. “I believe you can save me just the way you are,” she had whispered yesterday. No matter what the Chancellor or anyone else thought, she didn’t want anything from him, except for him to be himself. And Padmé was a thinker too. Anakin swung the speeder around and flew straight toward her apartment. Padmé would know what to do. She always did.

	Mine! does the victory dance WOW! I was late in getting back to this. bad beta “You were right.” Padmé Amidala brushed away the hand offered for support and lowered herself onto the long sofa in the sitting room of her apartment. The haze of clouds that had shrouded the capital since the end of the battle in its atmosphere three days earlier dulled the sunlight beaming in the wide windows. “I admit it. You were right.” You had Padme say that because no woman would ever really say that. Turkey “He’s turned democracy against itself,” she said, fighting back the wetness building behind her eyes. “Democracy made him a dictator. Now the only way to oppose him is to reject the Senate.” Great line. And it's so true. Palpatine used the virtues of democracy to his personal gain, not for the greater good. I feel awful for Padme having had this realization of a friend. He was out of his element. I won't quote the whole Anakin scene but I think it's a wonderful depiction of how he would have reacted following the Sith Lord revelation. Beautiful turn in your AU for Anakin to realize his wife might actually be able to help him As for Obi-Wan I have to say I am excited to see where C3 inspiration takes this story, my friend. Yes, I cheated -----signature----- http://www.lominalecantina.com Master to Madame_Solo It's amazing how easy it is to detect someone else's writing style in a post...

	ARGH! Edit: sticks tongue out at TKL All right, back with real comments. I'll admit that A/P stories have never been my primary interest. Nothing against the characters; I love them both. But I'm first and foremost an L/M 'shipper, and it just usually takes quite good writing and a fascinating plot to keep my attention from wandering in an A/P. Fortunately, you excel at both, Lex. I'm really excited to see where you take this. Not that he was opposed to thinking, at least in principle. My favorite line, by far. " . . . at least in principle." But it's just so Anakin. Just like that, the truth he’d been looking for struck him in the chest like a blaster bolt. Padmé. Like the Jedi never had, she loved him for who he was. Unlike the Jedi and the Sith, she didn’t expect him to be wise. “I believe you can save me just the way you are,” she had whispered yesterday. No matter what the Chancellor or anyone else thought, she didn’t want anything from him, except for him to be himself. And Padmé was a thinker too. Anakin swung the speeder around and flew straight toward her apartment. Padmé would know what to do. She always did. Cha-ching! Now that's what Anakin should have done in the first place. Can't wait for the next installment.

	Ooooh, it's started. Yippee! Great opening. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

	Welcome back! I didn't realize there would be prequels, but I'm certainly looking forward to them. I think I'll enjoy the fangirls rushing for the first post, too. -----signature----- Short Story: Pressure Point http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/26961243/p1/?7 Jacen Solo and Anakin Skywalker - as it should have been.

	Aw crap, I made the mistake of playing the music for the trailer, except I forgot to make the last change to "Battle of the Heroes" and after "Padmé’s Ruminations" it automatically went into "Anakin's Betrayal" and now I'm a gloomy mess! -----signature----- "Let's face it: armed combat beats unarmed combat any day of the week."

	The first chater is going to be poseted on FRIDAY?! I can hardly wait. I'm jumping up and down. This story is extremely interesting, and I like where you're going with this. Keep up the really good work.

	In writing this alternate universe Revenge of the Sith, I draw heavily on both the film and Matt Stover’s novelization. In particular, the political subplots involving Padmé that were cut from the film but remain prominent in the novel will play a major role in this story, as do the characterizations as elaborated in the novel. Yay! Awesome… More Padme is always good for me. “Secrets. Lies. We’re deceiving our families and our friends. I’m keeping secrets from the Queen, and you’re doing the same to your people.” She was so tired of the lies and the secrets. So tired of lying about Anakin – and of keeping secrets from him. “He’s twisted everything around until we’ve become the very thing we swore we would always oppose.” That’s a whole lotta lies and secrets. Something tells me that Padme and Anakin are about to hash things out real soon. Anakin doubted he’d ever been this confused in his entire life. But none of that mattered right now. All that mattered was one simple fact – Anakin needed Palpatine alive long enough to learn what he needed to save Padmé. He wasn’t going to lose her, not the way he’d lost his mother. He was going to stop her from dying. No matter what. Noooooo!!! [/Anakin] Don’t do it Anakin. And Padmé was a thinker too. Anakin swung the speeder around and flew straight toward her apartment. Padmé would know what to do. She always did. Hmm… so far things are pretty much as they are in ROTS, but I’m counting on that last line for things to come out a little differently in this story… the Darth_Lex way… Perhaps Anakin will listen to Padme… Can't wait for more, Lexie! -----signature----- Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. ~ Mark Twain "I love retconning." - Karen Traviss Anxiously awaiting "Invincible" by Troy Denning
