The Slave Who Makes Free: An Anakin Skywalker Quest

Reader mode
[X] Galactic diplomacy.
[X] A living world. Imperious visages, plotting. The birth, and perhaps the death, of something beautiful.

We will create the most diplomatic version of Anakin (he gives you one chance to surrender before kicking your ass)
 
Plan: Insidious premonitions
[X] Survival skills.

we are so back

also lol, we're obv not gonna shake palpatine quite so easily. nice callbacks to Plagueis and Rogue Planet, very curious to see how you'd work with Zonama Sekot

[X] Force techniques.
[X] A living world. Imperious visages, plotting. The birth, and perhaps the death, of something beautiful.
 
[X] Lightsaber forms.

Excellent writing as always. Was on the edge of my seat throughout the race. And the detail about the way different species were signaled the countdown was a wonderful touch.
 
[X] Lightsaber forms.

There's no room for doubt!

[X] A poisoned world. The end of an endless war. A soldier, or a Jedi, or both?

Come young Skywalker, come and

LOOK UPON THE HEART OF THE FORCE!
 
Ironically, I've begun reading through Rogue Planet for a reread of the NJO series as soon as this post came out. The bewilderment I had when I read the first few paragraphs soon had me chuckling at the coincidence.

Anywho, my theory for the choice at the end of this post is that each vision is actually a hint of whatever mission is to come for us and our Padawan friends. Whichever the popular vote is, that is the mission we will go on. As for what they are?

  • The 'A living world' feels easy to me, that of Zonoma Sekot and the mission Anakin went on in Rogue Planet.
  • The 'A peaceful world' could actually refer to Mandalore and potential conflicts Satine might have with Obi-Wan.
  • The 'A poisoned world' could be Harideen from the Jedi Quest series where Granta Omega appeared at, embroiled in a civil war.
  • The 'A prosperous world' is a tricky one, but I wanna say... maybe Naboo? A rising star in the Mid Rim and could hold significant sway on the Clone Wars while also housing many skeletons in the closet, Ala Palpatine and other Sith shenanigans.
 
Great as always...

I want to keep both hands attached to our body this time thank you

[X] Lightsaber forms.

And honestly, I don't know what most of the things that the second vote references are, but getting us a personal spaceship that is not a single-seat starfighter is a good idea.

Very much think we gotta spend some time with the Lightsaber.

Anakin Skywalker, Master of Aggressive Negociations.

…you began to sneak out to explore the city while Obi-Wan slept. It wasn't long before you stumbled across exactly the thing you were looking for: an exhilaratingly dangerous and extremely illegal sport known only as "pit racing". And today, you enter your first heat.

You strap your custom-built racing wings to your back—no speeders or Pods here, just a jury-rigged apparatus halfway between a glider and a jetpack—and look over the eponymous pit. One thing you've learned during your time on Coruscant is that everything is bigger on this planet, be it buildings, landing platforms, power generators…or even garbage disposals.

The worms are genetically engineered beasts hundreds of meters long, distant relatives of the exogorths (more commonly known as "space slugs"). They make their homes in the chemical lake, chewing up metals and plastics and other Coruscant detritus into a recyclable form. Their glassy, glittering scales are the objective of this race: your task is to fly, on your makeshift wings, down through the holes in the three shields, reach the lake at the bottom, pluck one from a worm's back, and be the first return to the surface with it in hand.

Oh my god, childhood YA novel memories hitting hard but two decades removed are killing me, was that an Obi-wan or Anakin adventure?

You whirl around, because you recognize that voice—but what Palpatine would be doing here is utterly beyond you.

The word "Chancellor" is halfway to your mouth before he raises a finger to his lips. The gesture buys your mind a moment to catch up with your eyes and ears. Instead of his usual Chancellorial robes, he's wearing a simple cloak with the hood pulled up over his head, shrouding most of his face. For whatever reason, he's here incognito.

Oh my god, I figured it out: Palpatine isn't trying to be The Father-Figure.

He chuckles. "I could tell you that I wasn't lying when I said I would keep an eye on your career, or that it was simply a lucky guess. But the real truth is that I simply asked myself where I would have gone as a boy. You see, in my youth, I was something of a daredevil racer myself."

He leaves you to ponder that as you prepare to fly.

He's Aaron Davis, Prowler! The Cool Uncle Who's Secretly A Criminal! He's trying to be the fun guy when the Jedi Order keeps trying to put Anakin on a rigid path!

[X] A peaceful world. Killers, remorseful and remorseless. The gratitude, or ire, of a friend
 
[X] Lightsaber forms.

While not the most important part of the Jedi, being able to fightvis not without use, especially with a war almost inevitable.
