That was great. Loved the ending and how everyone had their parts to play. Loved that Arthur still doesn't know he's the son of Uther. You did a terrific job of fusing Star Wars and Merlin. Well done.

[angelqueen04]

Thank you! Yeah, I did leave a few secrets hiding there in the wings, something to play on should I ever get around to writing a sequel.

I'm glad you liked my little fusion of the two fandoms! Also, thanks for responding to each part! I appreciate it! :D

Not even a little kiss ??? :(

Thanks again for the story, it was great :D I love the way you managed to keep both stories in their lines. Star Wars is one of my favourite movies, and of course I loved Merlin Seasons 1&2, so as I said, the best of two worlds.

The 'Save by a girl' scene is excellent, BTW.

Thanks for writing ;)

By the way, you're stuck with the sequel now!!!!! !!!!!

[angelqueen04]

*giggles* Alas, no kiss! I think if Arthur tried to kiss her, she'd deck him, and he'd never let Morgana hear the end of it if she kissed him.

I'm glad you liked the story! It was great fun writing it, and melding the two worlds together. :)

The only way now is to write the sequel... And the sequel to this sequel... After all, Arthur still needs to discover he is Uther's son, and to take his place in ruling the Galaxy :)

Well this was epic and totally awesome. :) It's not very often that you see crossover fiction done remarkably well. The merging of the two fandoms was impeccable, and very clever.

I think one of my favorite things is that I get to giggle that Merlin takes over for Chewie. Merlin is Chewie! Haha! Love it.

Adding this one to my favorites ^_^ and keeping my fingers crossed you find time to do the sequels.

[angelqueen04]

Thank you! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the story! I did my very best to fuse the two fandoms together, and enjoyed myself doing it.

Heh, yes, I did get a good laugh over Merlin being the Chewie of the story too. *bg*

I'm hoping to be able to write at least one sequel for this story. I don't know if there would be two, it would just depend on how the next story develops.

Thanks again!

I'm obviously ages late finding this, but I am ~ecstatic that I ran across it! You managed to fit everyone into the Star Wars universe seamlessly, without losing sight of their canon personalities; I love that you didn't attempt a character-for-character replacement because the dynamics you've created here were amazingly well done. You've got everything I love best about Merlin: the undertones of destiny, the friendships, the sense of past tragedies (I loved the little glimpses of the relationship between Ygraine and Nimueh), the banter -- and then there's STAR WARS, and how could the two combined not be amazing

[angelqueen04]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I'm always thrilled when someone replies to this story, and I'm delighted that you loved it so much! :)

I admit, when I started developing this story, I quickly realized that there could be no direct correlation between the two casts. For example, both Morgause and Arthur have elements of Luke Skywalker in them, and Merlin is clearly more than a sidekick/co-pilot. As for the Gwen/Morgause dynamic, that was one of the biggest shockers to come out of this fic. It was entirely unintentional. The path the characters took ended up throwing the two women together on a few occasions and I suddenly found that they had chemistry. When that penetrated my brain, I think I did a merry dance for a good five minutes. I love unexpected ships. :D

[shan_3414]

Unexpected chemistry is one of my favorite things in fic, so I'm glad you just let the characters take you where they would. :D It makes the journey that much more compelling.

I'll definitely be looking forward to whatever else you come up with!

[acenpokerface]

completely breath-taking. excellent characterization and storyline--looking eagerly for a sequel if you ever decide to write one. i'm convinced it'd be even better than this. :D

[angelqueen04]

Thank you! I hope to write a sequel some day, if the muse is ever interested and I ever find time to write it.

I'm so glad you liked the story! :)
