Yeah, I think this is over. Hans hasn't been on in 21 days.

I'm not sure if I want to have Leia piece together who her mother was or not.

@Burning Kitty

Unlikely. Since Anakin and Padme's relationship was never public. Nor would she know Vader is her father either.

Ben smiled, and took Zenobia's hand in a firm shake. "Well well, a CIS officer. How am I to judge, even the young where drafted into that terrible war." In truth, he'd long learned to put such a war behind him, all for the best. His smile was genuine. "I hope there are no grudges, seeing as we should all consider ourselves allies here." His gaze though had to drift, as he was getting such a rapid selection of introductions. "And you are a Miraluka. I have met one of your people only once before. And heard many rumors that chilled me to the core. At the very least I see potential on you, for great good. The Princess is in good luck to have you on her side." Ben didn't reach out to shake hands, but instead focused the last of his attention to Leia.

Oh Leia... She looked so much like her mother. But in a sinking way he could see Anakin in her too. It was the way she carried herself. The way she smiled. The way... NO! Forget about it. More drastic things are taking place. "Well, I hope we don't take too long, but there is a great many things that need to be discussed. I believe your father knew more than anything how important our inevitable meeting would be. Despite how little he may have understood it." Ben gestured for her to follow, and then looked to the two droids. They where a ghost to him... Mistakes so easily noticed. But, he'd have to put that aside.

The inside of his house was small, shockingly so. Enough for just the one man, and may two or three others at most to fit in the whole thing. Few belongs littered the house, with only the few essentials in plain sight. "I apologize for how... Unlived it seems. I have lived with so little, because at any point I would have to leave least the Sand people show an interest in harassing Ol' Ben Kenobi once more." He took a seat, and looked at Leia once more. "Now, I don't know about your miracle, but... I am going to tell you about your father... And how I owe it to the both of you to help you avenge him." In his hand, he held a lightsaber. A beautiful chrome handle, polished almost daily it seemed. He held the blade to the side, and with a press a blue blade shot through the air. "The man who gave this to me was your father. Anakin Skywalker. He was killed by Darth Vader, who I suspect pursues you as we speak."

The deck of the Executioner was as always a place for Vader to look out across the Galaxy. Much like the name of his ship, Vader was an executioner. He passed judgement easily, willingly, and without hesitation. In truth, he knew no fear. Except. Tatooine. How could one planet rob a man of so much? Some days he imagined Tatooine burning, and the others he imagined it freezing like the proverbial hell it was. The Executioner appeared in the sky over the desert world, directly behind the Tantive IV. He suspected in a way that they'd fight back, but the Executioner's firepower was lethal. By the time he reached the back of the main deck, Vader suspected the Tantive IV would be dragged closer and closer by the tractor beams from his Star Destroyer.

"Send a message to Tarkin. Let him know I have chosen the first target for his... Super Weapon." Vader spoke to one of the guards, and his pace remained the same. He had all the time in the world. They would NEVER escape him.

Where they normally would, just tweaked a bit. Since Peter would've been off earth when Hydra took over, he wouldn't be under it's influence yet. Thanos would be just as weird and purple as he's always been.

@Inmento Riku

Well when did Hydra take over? If they took over in the 40's that'd change Peter's backstory some. Heck, we could probably get away with a quite a few changes. Heck, we could probably get away with making Rocket Raccoon a Moongoose or something. Just tossing out random ideas. Heck, Quill could have been rescued from the Hydra lifestyle and is still struggling with some of that prejudice expected of people in that regime.

The Winter Soldier would probably be somebody else entirely, and Punisher could very well be even more brutal and bloodthirsty, or a nicer guy than before. If we're going alternate universe, we should free up our ideas a bit. Eheheheheh~

Out of curiosity, where would aliens fit in? Like Guardians of the Galaxy? Or Thanatos? Since there are plenty of those.

I like the idea, has some potential.

@Shadow Daedalus Ah thanks for the heads up. Misread all that. I'll update, and probably bother you with Vader when he arrives.

The force was a buzz. Kenobi had long felt the force at work around him, but it had been silent for so long as well. At times he would step out of his hut, and his eyes would drift to the sky. The twin suns of tatoonine could burn his eyes out, but so often, he wished he would just stare at them till his whole body burned away. In truth, he lived only for the sake of living... A fault of his own. He'd done so little when the empire took over, and now he was dealing with the consequence of that mistake. He should have done more. He should have made sure Vader was dead. He should have saved Padame. He should have... So many shoulds. Guess that's what they mean when they talk about hindsight. Somethings are just so obvious.

In the distance he saw a Sand Crawler. Well, at least he had the benefit of having somebody to talk to today. But... The force told him there was more. In the future he'd know for sure whether this was for the best or not, but he could see a collection of sand speeders heading his way. Even with his old eyes, he could see the collection of souls. Some in particular sparkled with the force, and others, where merely droids. There was a blind man amongst the group who seemed to attract the force, but alongside such dignified company as one of the strange lifeforms now stuck on Tatoonine. Then, there was Leia. She was the most important.

"Hello there!" He didn't move from his spot by the door of his hut for a moment or two. Before as the crafts slowed down he approached. "I assume Bail sent you. But... I was not expecting an army. Are you so afraid of an old man that you'd have to carry an entourage of mercenaries and rebels to my door?" Old Ben smiled, eyes drifting to each, and then pausing on the droid. "Oh, I see that one is an HK model, and... Well well, I feel like I'm seeing some ghosts." His eyes focused on C3P0 and R2-D2, and he moved on almost instantly. "Does the blind man need any help? I know it's rather rocky, and well, my house is small."

@TheUnknowable Out of curiosity, is the old man Obi-Wan in your latest post?

Thank you all for your interest. I'm still plotting stuff, like the world, monsters, magical limitations, and the like.
