The Slave Who Makes Free: An Anakin Skywalker Quest

Voting is open for the next 2 days, 11 hours
If Rey is giving the crystal to Anakin, it's kind of like the future handing the present to the past. I guess that makes the kyber crystal something like Luke.
 
"Remember the beginning and the end; that the first Jedi were Ekkreth against their Depur and that the last Jedi will awaken against hers, for we are all Ekkreth."
Oh I like that.

[X] Remember the beginning and the end; that the first Jedi were Ekkreth against their Depur and that the last Jedi will awaken against hers, for we are all Ekkreth.

[x] Unstable Silver, for Tatooine
[X] Black, but speckled with white like a reflection of the night sky
[X] White, like the scales of the Greater Krayt Dragon confronted during our life-changing Podrace
 
Making me regret saying anything about the Infinite Empire and Ekkreth, just ended up splitting the vote for the Obi Wan voters to get ahead.
 
I very much appreciate the extension. A chance for more people to vote against the dreaded blue and Obi-Wans voice.

Hell, at least in canon Anakin had a green lightsaber before it was destroyed in AotC.

Rey and the Infinite Empire are definitely the some of the most fun option, glad they're leading. I wish we could get both, they make for great bookends.
What a take. That blue looks absolutely amazing with Anakin. I've always associated green with Luke and think it flows perfectly with his character; a wildly appealing look.

Blue meanwhile has always been an Anakin thing, and while I get wanting a new option and look, lets not pretend he doesn't look stupendous with a blue saber.

... no comment on Obi-Wan's voice.
 
Star Wars has move beyond the need for blue.

Yellow is the new blue, the natural iconic color of our Jedi heroes. Rise of Skywalker says so!

(Please ignore everything else Rise of Skywalker says.)
 
[X] Blue.

So, a question: When I originally proposed Unstable Silver, it was part of a pair with a Black Core, but a lot of later voters have just copied the first part. How does that get interpreted with the vote? Do Unstable Silver + Black Core and just Unstable Silver count as two separate things, or are they treated as a pair, with Unstable Silver acting as a name for both?

Let's cross that bridge when we come to it—I'll make a determination on what the saber looks like if one of those options wins, possibly by doing a Black Core vs No Black Core runoff.
 
I already voted, but I wanted to say I really loved the update. I cried a bit reading it, but it probably would have been more if I wasn't in public. It captured all that awesome spiritual stuff about Star Wars, like hope, light, and darkness. It gave me a flashback to the basically religious and super emotionally formative experience of watching The Original Trilogy, especially Return of the Jedi, over and over again in my grandparent's basement as a kid. Thanks for all the work you put into your writing; it really shines through!

Let's hope we can avoid getting our original saber destroyed. In AotC I'm pretty sure there was a line about Anakin having destroyed his original one before the movie starts before he loses his in the factory.

From what I remember it's in reference to Anakin losing his saber earlier on in the movie during the bounty hunter chase sequence. Obi-Wan manages to catch it though.

Anakin says something to the effect of, "Not again... Obi-Wan's gonna kill me." Which was more losing his lightsaber... well, in a more permanent fashion.

… I think your right but I haven't watched the prequels in a while.

Really well written chapter, I loved the way you used the formatting/medium to split things.
