    Summary

    "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

    Yoda’s foreboding words rang out through the Council chamber, and Dooku could see how Anakin trembled.

    Never before had Dooku seen Skywalker as a boy, only a brash young man. This unassuming, malnourished waif was not who he was expecting.

    But unexpected or not, the Force had granted him a second chance, and Dooku was loath to waste it.

    “Master Yoda, Councilors, forgive the interruption, but I am compelled to intercede,” Dooku said, his head held high.

    _____

    The Force gives Dooku a second chance, and Dooku uses it to look out for his lineage.

    Summary

    “You—you think Obi-Wan is ashamed of you for being a slave?” Ahsoka asked uncertainly.

    “No,” Anakin said. His voice was steady, with a cynical edge. “I think he’s ashamed of me for being me."

    * * * * *

    Obi-Wan overhears Ahsoka asking Anakin about his origins and can't quite ignore the temptation to stick around and listen to the remaining conversation. But Anakin's explanation of his life as a slave and then later a Jedi turns out to not be entirely accurate, and Obi-Wan is compelled to intercede.

    Summary

    Had Anakin truly been this thin, this malnourished and sickly, when he first arrived at the Temple? Had his clothes always been so ill-fitting and threadbare, his boots barely holding together?

    And had none of them—not one of their twelve—recognized his circumstances and offered him compassion?

    -----

    One moment, Mace watches in horror as Anakin betrays the Jedi Order and becomes a Sith Lord.

    The next, he finds himself at the Temple a decade before the start of the war, and encounters a half-starved nine-year-old boy in threadbare clothing.

    Or, Mace Windu has a chance to redo the first meeting between himself and Anakin Skywalker and takes the opportunity to make things right.

    Summary

    Obi-wan didn’t realise what the gestures meant at first. Obi-wan had spent most of his time as a slave or using slave routes in or near Mandalorian space, on the opposite side of Hutt Space and the galaxy from Tatooine. Methods of signaling and asking for safety were different.

    Summary

    After the Battle of Naboo, Padme Amidala swore that she would not let her people be made a prey again. So, Obi-Wan Kenobi introduced her to Satine Kryze, Lady of Mandalore, in the hopes that they would temper each other.

    He didn't expect it to go quite like this . . .
