Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.

But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.

Or,

Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.

Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.

Chapter Summary: Obi-Wan meets Yoda and Adi Gallia for the first time, again. It goes well.

It is a disaster.

Meta - Chapter Eleven - The World Within Your Hand

As always, I am deeply grateful for all the love you’ve given this story, the outpouring of comments on the last chapter - the guessing on where the story is heading - makes me so very happy.

179,329 words
36 chapters

Not really a great writing week, only about 5k of forward progress. The heat has been sapping a lot of my will to live, I think. Had some medical stuff to deal with. Also did a bunch of internal editing over the weekend that took time away from the forward progress.

Shit Has Happened

Obi-Wan and Yoda (and Adi) finally meet and talk and It Goes Well.

The Little Green Troll is impressed. I basically went with the Council scene in TPM and flipped it 180 degrees. How to make it better?

Also, as we saw in last week’s chapter, this Yoda isn’t quite so ossified - he has a personality beyond NO ATTACHMENTS - NO FEAR - NO ANGER.




He is the ultimate Little Shit.




As a lot of you had guessed - and I refused to confirm or deny - Quinlan is the Council’s agent. And he’s still working on Watto. Things are going to move very quickly now. Don’t blink, you might just miss something.

And can we have three cheers for my lovely Lady Cyral, who saves the day? Sometimes you need an Original Character to step in and to the shit that canon characters can’t. Like beat the crap out of the bad guys.

Does this chapter end on a cliffhanger? Well, kind of. Obi-Wan faints and we switch scenes, to Qui-Gon and Malastare. So, I am kind of sorry about that. I tried reworking this, but it meant jamming things up into a very long chapter and a very short chapter and well, that wouldn’t work either. So, enjoy the words as written.

That’s it for this week, sorry for the short meta - the chapter is kind of straightforward this week, what you see, blah blah blah. And as they used to say in Adam West’s Batman, Don’t Touch That Dial! Things are moving fast.

I am so happy you are doing this series. Here is hoping for a happy ending and a full recognition of Obi-Wan true value as a Jedi and human? being.

I lo e your work!! Even if chapter 29? From the other fic your are collaborating (Gosh, I can't remember), left me so very distraught.
I love your worldbuilding, and how you portray your characters as well as the plots that reveals itself at its own time.
But, I would like for some fics (I am speaking in general terms) to give Obi-Wan some reprive lol. I mean,he deserves to win sometimes or at least stay with Qui-Gon (when the lovable idiot realize Obi-Wan is right about some quite fundamental things, and so is Qui-Gon. So e believes are not mutually exclusive). This is the reason I am reading this fic as well, and looking forward to every new chapter.
I will browse as well your other fics (and the fics from the other authors you work with) in the meantime (when my health permits, that is).
Finally, please forgive my English, is not my first language (and right about now I dont have the energy to go trough revising my mistakes, for health reasons, so I humbly ask you for your understanding).
I am se ding you a big hug.
Have a beautiful weekend.
