IN EXILE CHALLENGE
BtVS/Star Wars challenge
Buffy/Obi-wan
What if Qui-Gon didn’t die in TPM? What if Qui-Gon did train Anakin instead of Obi-wan? However, Anakin still secretly married Pad-me and turned to the dark side.
(Even knowing that ALL the Jedi are being killed, seeing the children get cut down makes me cringe. Their deaths sting more, BECAUSE they’re children. I know that virtually ALL the Jedi are killed in the Purge, but I can’t help but wish that somehow someone had got the children out.)
What if after killing General Grievous in ROTS, Obi-wan had returned from Utapao and was on Coruscant during the attack on the temple?
Numerous Jedi across the galaxy are seen being exterminated, Yoda could feel their deaths. In ANH Obi-wan could feel the deaths on Alderaan, so he could probably feel the deaths of the other Jedi too.
What if instead of fighting Anakin on the planet Mustafar, Obi-wan was in Jedi temple. He came to the council chamber just in time to stop Anakin from killing all those poor defenseless younglings hiding in the chamber?
What if Obi-wan rescued the children from Anakin somehow and escaped with them on a transport?
Qui-Gon, Yoda, and Obi-wan all still go in exile/hiding. Yoda sends Qui-Gon to Tatooine and orders Obi-wan to take the surviving younglings to the furthest reaches of the galaxy to keep them safe.
He winds up on Earth and meets Buffy. She has left the Scoobies after the final battle. Her spirit is so battered after all those years on the Hellmouth and being betrayed by her friends…she is heartbroken. Despite his Jedi detachment and strength of will, the loss of the Jedi weighs heavily on Kenobi. He is tired and heartbroken as well.
Buffy is desperate need of purpose and peace and Obi-wan is in desperate need of some help with all those Jedi younglings. (in the scene in ROTS, the children looked human or at least humanoid. So raising them on Earth shouldn’t be a problem.)
Obi-wan’s kind, soft-spoken demeanor could help Buffy find some of the peace and serenity that she needs, but has never had. Buffy could teach Obi-wan something that the Jedi needed to learn, not all attachments are bad. During the time they spend together, they fall in love. They help each other regain what they’ve lost, what’s been taken from them.
ANY TAKERS?
