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: For the first time in this lifetime, Obi-Wan sets foot inside the Temple. He gathers up his courage, hopes his shields are intact, and faces the High Council. And finally, that damn collar comes off.

Meta - Chapter Sixteen - I Have No Share In the Infinity of Light-Years

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.

Once again, no update on the word count this week. I’m still working on with my SmutWars story. Damn thing is nearly 18k. Plenty of smut now, and almost done! Hallelujah!

Coruscant and the Temple

This is the world that Obi-Wan will be living in for the rest of his life, Force-willing, and his eyes are wide-open, trying to catalog the differences.

That Interview in the High Council Chamber

I have to admit, I just took the scene with Qui-Gon, Anakin and Obi-Wan from The Phantom Menace and flipped the script.

The High Council was already prepped to accept Obi-Wan. He’d saved two Jedi, Yoda and Adi have met him and have been charmed. Mace is a lot less suspicious and a lot more - I don’t want to say intelligent- but let’s call it, more savvy? And the whole Council has been dealing with the idea of the Sith and a boy with an m-count over 44,000 for more than two years. So flipping the script shouldn’t be that implausible.

Also, the High Council scene in TPM, that just sucked balls. Smelly bantha balls. That’s what happens when you have to back into an existing plot.

Bad, George. Bad.

Reva

I love her so much. I want to give her as much air time as possible.

She and Obi-Wan will get to be friends this time around.

The Force Inhibitor Collar

Those of you who read these meta have gotten a sneak peek at this scene. Now you get all the words around the moment.
