All galactic threats pale before the power of the Skywalker Family's Bullshit. Comes in exciting new flavors for every generation!
As the godmother, we clearly have the ultimate weapon. Baby Photos.
To be fair. The son hates the father, he loves his sister.Ahh. Okay TL;DR then. Mortis (which is actually a decent place aside from the name) is home to these three stupidly OP beings who are basically embodiments of the Force: The Father (the Force in general), the Son (the Dark Side), and the Daughter (the Light Side). Since the Son and the Daughter represent opposing sides of the Force and-even worse-are siblings, they're constantly squabbling with each other, and by "squabbling" I mean "trying to beat the crap out of each other with the Force." The Father's job is to keep those young whippersnappers from wrecking his lawn too much, but by the time of the Clone Wars he's getting old and needs someone else to babysit his kids, and concludes that the best one to do that is The Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker.
Basically, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka go there, shit happens, Anakin decides babysitting isn't his thing, and due to a hilarious series of escapades all of the Ones die. Surprisingly, the Force doesn't seem to care that much. Cue laugh track, roll credits.
Just as long as they don't make the threat in the first place...which most of them do.
Yunno.
Anakin restored balance to the Ones! He did it by killing all of them. Which made Abeloth a future problem.
Then Jacen had dark visions of the future and decided going Sith would solve all his problems (sound familiar?). After horrendous atrocities and murders of his own family, he blew up Centerpoint before his sister ganked him. Great. This made Abeloth an immediate problem.
Great track-record there.
So far Luke has been the most stable that actually survived into old-age without losing it, but even he's had his Bespin moments.
So clearly this family has a serious emo problem (that probably originates from a certain Darth mucking about with cosmic energy), and clearly it is our duty to be the well-meaning Aunt who brings humor and joy! (By trolling the shit out of them. Forever.)

Well, that won't be a problem if Anakin doesn't have kids. I'm pretty sure he and Padme never got married since 1) we would totally know if they did and 2) our changes to canon included Anakin not being in charge of protecting Padme during Attack of the Clones, and since they spent the entire movie apart instead of together, I'm pretty sure that scuttles their eloping.
Unless we push them into hooking up anyway. Which actually sounds about right.

Well, it would be nice if this time, things do not end in such a debacle that all three of the Ones are killed, what with being the only ones who can stop Aboleth. If possible, perhaps find a replacement to maintain balance between the Son and Daughter so that the Father can rest.

And in that moment what little remained of Anakin in the monster called Darth Vader remembered the words of his old aquaintance Ciaran: "The Smug will always be with you".

Darth Vader making Dad jokes anyone?

I always thought the Son loved his father and sister but was going through a very long period of teenage rebellion.
He came across to me as less hating his father and more hating what his father represented.
Balance, restrictions and above all else, Rules.
Reading the old thread by Teron, there is someone who was never quite mentioned again. Where is Jerec right now? The last time we heard of him was that he went off the radar in the Unknown Regions. And considering that he is a fellow Miralukan and a fellow troll, and more importantly, a Jedi that is rather sympathetic to Ciaran, shouldn't we try to find him?

Isn't he a Jedi Archeologist? Odds are he's having Indiana Jones style adventures in the Unknown Regions and hasn't even noticed the war.

Isn't that pretty much what happened in the EU?
But he has been missing for years now. And Jedi or not, the Unknown Regions isn't exactly a good place to be missing for years.

If I was a Jedi Archeologist the Unknown Regions would be heaven to me. All that knowledge, all the civilizations that have been forgotten or outright never encountered, all the history to be found, all the worlds to see.
If I were to suddenly wake up in Star Wars, I'd take a ship and keep exploring. See everything I can find, wander the Galaxy. There is always more to see, to learn and experience. It would be so easy to lose yourself for years.

In canon he didn't show back up until after Order 66. We might run into him if we ever start some serious Archeology projects though.
Okay, after rereading his bio in wookiepedia, I got this:
Which was confusing because in Teron's update way back when, this is what happens:

It seems that I was misled by Teron's wording in that it kinda implies that the disappearance wasn't an actual deployment order. My bad.

The only thing I could think of to make it more chaotic is if we bring the mother with us to Mortis so they can have one big family reunion, because even if the parents have gone through divorce, doesn't mean that the children should suffer from their parents not getting along. … most likely outcome I can think of in such an event is the father and mother getting into a fight after mum asks the kids about how long till she becomes a grandmother.
I will laugh if Mandodice create a new Mandalorian empire despite what Ciaran wants...
Mm. It surprises me that Ciaran hasn't been looking for a husbando, what with the way she match-makes everyone else.
I can see Talesan being very favorable to that trade. And the Republic, Jedi and the CIS willing to do anything to stop it from getting into Ciaran's hands now they have more of an idea of what Ciaran actually is...
Well, if I were running this quest, I'd be looking at a few options:
*Palpatine escaping to the Deep Core and fighting Ciaran from there (complete with a seemingly endless army of clones of himself).
*Dooku profits from the battle between Ciaran and Palpatine and ends up accumulating enough Force lore and temporal power to become a bigger threat.
*Mace Windu falls to the Dark Side and leads the Jedi against Ciaran.
*Ciaran unnerves the Jedi too much and they become the main opponents out of righteous motivations
*Anakin becomes big bad (either Dark Side or Light Side, depending on how things evolved)
*IG-88 is more successful than in canon, and Ciaran must fight a droid rebellion led by a real genius level droid
*Jerec, having found the Valley of the Jedi and accessed its power, comes back.
And that's just off the top of my head.
I'd play in that quest.
"The more you try to extract profit from the galaxy, the more systems slip from your grasp Darth Treya!"
Remember that the average prevalence of Force Sensitives in the Galaxy is somewhere around 1 in 1 trillion (an that is including entire races that are force sensitive like the Miraluka). Being force sensitive at all means a person is already "one of the best in the Galaxy". Being sensitive enough to be a Jedi AND having the discipline to follow the Jedi path would undoubtedly be "super mega genius on Lore stat".
Honestly, I'd expect someone like Yoda to be in the 60s and Palps to be around 70-80 in lore (i.e., so good that if they can do it with the Force, they'll probably crit the roll).
Well, a bunch of omakes were made of Ciaran pushing the creepy ass onto Padme and they're canon. So yeah. It's a problem now.
Note for Anidme shippers: We really, as a matter of utmost priority, need to get this guy away from Palps if you guys are gonna get your happily ever after for this pair.
At least the Jar Jar shippers haven't gotten any backing yet.
Yes. The omake that is in is canon now.

It's a long term project.

In the first thread, @Teron headed the shipping wars off at the pass and called a vote. The result was, "no ship for Ciaran, but lots of teasing flirting." Issue resolved.
...but it occurs that we have a shiny new thread, here...and I don't believe @Dr. Snark has weighed in on the issue.
