Each chapter brings us a little closer to the end and while I never want this to end (like, EVER), I need to know what happens next.

Aw, thank you.

“I’ll be fine,” she said. “It just seems that everything goes back to him. Threepio used to be a reminder of home, of my family.” She paused then, her voice shaking slightly as she held Luke’s gaze. “My adoptive family.”

Poor Leia. Her world really gets shaken up quite fiercely.
Until she came face to face with Anakin, no doubt she had tried not to think about Vader being her father.
Now the presence of Anakin forces her to think about her relationship to her biological father.
And in addition to this she has to learn that 3PO, her childhood companion, is not connected to Alderaan as much as to Anakin.
(I guess Luke will feel odd as well when he realizes how close R2D2 and Anakin are.)

“But this… this could explain so much,” Luke said, passionate and determined. “I just… need to work out how.” Yes, the information that Anakin was once a slave is quite important. It's good to see Luke understands this. I hope he talks to Anakin about it

Yeah, their past really is much closer than Luke or Leia ever realized.

A question: Have you seen the Clone Wars Cartoons?

I have only seen the first season. Woe

Be a naughty monkey and download the second season. There are some issues that get addressed -- like the fact that Anakin didn't go through a Trial of Spirit (Facing the Mirror aka the Dark Tree on Dagobah) before his Knighting -- that you might find interesting.

Also, Obi-Wan wandering around in partial storm-trooper armor bounces between cute and disturbing. And Anakin's idea of a well-foraged meal -- well, let's just say it's good that no one connected Vader with Anakin Skywalker because it's hard to completely fear a man you've seen eating *that*.

Oh, I love you. So much. Eee!

I've already downloaded it all, and I've watched the first three chapters. Very interesting stuff (and this was all created before the release of RotS, right? Because Anakin's hand is still the way it looked at the end of AotC and not the way it ends up looking in RotS).

And Anakin eating the grubs... I buy it, but it's just hilarious. And agreed on Obi-Wan. Cute and yet discomforting.

There are some things that I've seen so far that I like and some that, quite clearly, my fic has no room for (ex. the way Anakin flashes his shiny arm all over the place -- even when he ends up wearing gloves later on, it's on both hands, not just the false one like in RotS. Plus, I like the twisted psychology of my way better).

Beautiful as always! Will again be waiting for more!

Thank you.

More amazing stuff. I love your characterization of Han - and bringing up the fact he undoubtedly would have heard of Kenobi and Skywalker was a great detail.

Also, Luke's suspicion that Anakin's past as a slave might have something to do with his turn is excellent. Not many fics really and truly go into what lasting effects that had on Anakin (desire to control things, forming strong attachments to people, etc).

Thank you. Han's a much more casual character to write than most of them, and requires a bit of a attitude shift in a lot of ways.

Oh, but they should. It really does explain so much about Anakin and why he didn't buy into the whole 'Republic' thing.

I, too, like that Han remembers Kenobi and Skywalker. Favorite line: “They were supposed to save us all. They didn’t.”

It's nice to see that Anakin's slavery is going to be brought up. That is sure to be an interesting and highly defensive conversation.

“That’s... pretty impressive,” Han said, remembering Anakin’s sure hands with Han’s engine.

*choke* Well. That must have been a missing scene. ;)

Defensive is a good word to choose there.

You people and your dirty minds.
