Summary
“Knighted you shall be, Anakin Skywalker,” Yoda said, his voice trying to be calm and wise, but it only grated on Anakin's nerves. “A general, the Republic needs. Lead a battalion of clones, you will.”
Anakin stared at Yoda, then at the other Masters. His gaze fell on Obi-Wan, who sat in his new seat, looking all calm and collected, as if nothing about this situation was strange or wrong. The Council, the Republic, the clones, the war—it was all barreling ahead like a speeder with no brakes, and no one seemed to think that maybe, just maybe, they were heading straight for disaster.
The silence stretched, the air thick with tension. The Council waited for his response. They expected him to jump at the chance to become a Jedi Knight, a general who will lead troops into battle to save the Republic, at that. Once upon a time, he would have jumped at the chance of being the hero.
But now, is not then.
“Yeah, no,” Anakin finally said, bored out of his mind.

This is not a rewrite of the series, but a compilation of all its parts in one place for those who prefer reading the entire story in a single, organized document. I’ve also polished the original chapters, and I hope you enjoy them.
