Fresh from the Battle of Endor, Leia finally has time to contemplate the fact Luke is her brother and - more horrifically - her father was the infamous Darth Vader. 

While everyone is celebrating the definitive end of the Empire, she stays in her quarters and wonders what this effect could have on her. She had just learnt she was the daughter of the most evil and powerful being in the galaxy,  her best friend was in fact her brother and that she was capable of the exact same power they both held.

That would mess with anyone's head!

When she finally rejoins her fellow comrades in the festivities, she finds herself face to face with an old friend of hers. Ahsoka Tano.

Being the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, she knew Leia's father well (at least, before he became a tyrant). Ahsoka talked all night with Luke and Leia, telling them tales of the Clone Wars, with Commander Rex joining in to show his admiration of his lost general.

What if they could go back and stop the Empire from ever happening? What if they could stop their father from decending into the dark side? What if they could prevent the destruction of the Jedi? What if they could stop the Emperor before he even started?


Minor spoilers for Clone Wars, Rebels and possibly Mandalorian. I say minor because it's mostly just easter eggs here and there and the rest you're smart enough to figure out on your own.

 And if I owned Star Wars or the cover art for this fic, you would know about it.

The Unchronicled Adventures Of Ahsoka Tano, Book Ten by shanSWfan
121 parts Complete
To be read as the tenth and final book in the series. It all comes down to this. It's been a year and a half since Ahsoka Tano lost her memories to the girl she once called her Padawan, Kaylira Tramino, and, tragically, lost the girl herself to the Dark Side of the Force. While Kaylira's fate remains unknown, it is entirely possible her life could hang in the balance. The galaxy grows ever darker with the power of the Sith, but hope remains. As the Rebel informant Fulcrum, Ahsoka works alongside the Ghost Crew, Phoenix Squadron and the other Rebel cells scattered across the galaxy to combat the Empire's tyranny, united in a common objective by a change in protocol. But their every victory comes at a cost, perhaps in ways they cannot yet see. The stakes are higher than ever before for the fledgeling Rebellion, and they find themselves facing tougher odds and greater challenges every day. Sith Inquisitors determined to track down any remaining Jedi lie in wait around every turn, under the direction of a Sith Lord that the Rebels still know so little about. But Ahsoka will soon come to discover that the Sith Lord has had a far greater hand in her past than she originally thought. As new threats she isn't entirely prepared to deal with reveal themselves, in order to protect her family, she will be forced to make a choice that will define the future of the New Jedi Order, of the Rebellion, and potentially the galaxy as a whole... But will she choose right, wrong, or neither? Only time will tell... You'll find out how in the final instalment of The Unchronicled Adventures Of Ahsoka Tano! PLEASE NOTE: This story contains MAJOR spoilers for Star Wars Rebels Season 2. Reader's discretion advised.

Anakin Skywalker will not become Darth Vader. Not yet, anyway. Padmé saved him from a lifetime of regret by pulling him out of the fateful battle between Mace Windu and Chancellor Palpatine. But at some point, he still has to decide if his heart lies with the Jedi or the Sith. Palpatine, undeterred by the loss of his potential apprentice, still devises a way to create the Empire and wipe out the vast majority of the Jedi. He sends various threats directly to Anakin and Padmé to convince them that they and their newborn children are in danger. Fearing for their safety, they split. For years, Anakin and Leia wander throughout the galaxy, dodging the Empire and searching for a greater purpose. Meanwhile, Padmé raises Luke while working with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma to lead the fight against the oppressive Galactic Empire. Anakin is constantly tempted by the Dark Side. Padmé struggles to help the Rebels succeed. Their children mean everything to both of them. The story also features other characters we all know and love, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Han Solo, and Boba Fett. Most of the story takes place 7 years after Revenge of the Sith. Please note that I would never change the canon; this story is intended to explore what could have happened, not what should have happened. OCs are used very sparingly. Thanks for reading!
