the power goes out in the fray
For @littlestartopaz: What would have happened if Leia was sent to Tatooine and Luke to Alderaan?
This sounds like an excuse for my very favorite thing: blatantly strong-in-the-Force Jedi Leia. I was gonna do headcanons but instead HERE is the first scene of Leia Skywalker of Tatooine finding some old asshole in a brown robe. *backflips out*
Leia scowled at the old man—Ben Kenobi, her ass—and the droid at her knee warbled happily.
“You lied,” Leia said. The sweet-faced boy draped in white robes on the recording had asked for an Obi-wan, but Kenobi’s aren’t exactly a dime a dozen since the old homestead was annihilated by the Tuskens. She can do the math.
“From a certain point of view,” Kenobi said with a shrug, smiling down at the droid.
“The boy on the recording–”
[Prince Luke Organa of Alderaan] the droid offered.
“—very helpful, thanks, Prince Luke said you were his only hope,” Leia said, prowling forward. “What exactly qualifies you for that, old man?”
Kenobi looked up at her with a start at that, blinking pale blue eyes at her, and gave a brittle half-laugh. “You’re very much like your father, when I knew him,” he said distantly. And then he launched into an epic tale about Jedi and her father and Leia stood, feeling shock shiver through her. She had known that her father was a general, but a Jedi?
