----------------------------
Chapter 1: Through Time.
"If you can defeat me, I will be far more powerful than you can imagine..." were the words Obi-Wan Kenobi spoke to Darth Vader before dying on the Death Star.
Some time later, in a galaxy far, far away
"The Force runs in my family. My father has it, I have it, and my sister has it," Luke said, looking Leia directly in the eyes. "Yes, it's you, Leia."
"I know. Somehow, I've known," Leia said after a few seconds, staring at young Luke Skywalker.
"Then you know why I must face him."
"Why must you face him?" Leia asked, worried.
"Because there's still good in him. He won't hand me the Emperor. I'll save him. I'll bring him back to the good side. I must try."
"But it won't be like this," said the ghost of Obi-Wan, appearing before Luke and Leia. Luke was used to seeing him, but it was definitely a big surprise for Leia.
"Ben," Luke said excitedly.
"We don't have much time," Obi-Wan said.
"Who is he?" Leia asked, looking at Obi-Wan's side.
"Master Yoda," Luke said happily.
"We must hurry. We've been wrong."
"What do you mean?"
"You will not face Darth Vader; that is not the way you should save him."
"How then?" Luke asked, confused.
"The Force has guided us, and we will guide you."
"Guide us?" Leia asked, confused.
"To the past, Princess," Obi-Wan said, and Leia looked at him incredulously.
"To the past?" the twins almost shouted.
"You must avoid this present. The Force is strong within you. You have the power to do so." Yoda smiled, and Obi-Wan advanced toward the twins.
"Are you saying there's a possibility of changing all of this? Alderaan? Can I prevent it from being destroyed?" "Can we go back to that fateful day?" she asked hopefully.
"They must go further back, long before the Empire."
"Before the Empire? Ben, how will we do that?" Luke asked.
"They must find two people," Yoda replied.
"Who?" Luke asked, confused.
"Ahsoka Tano, your father's Padawan," Obi replied. Wan sighed, looking at what was coming next. "And when the time is right, her mother," Obi said. Wan looked at Leia, who seemed affected by the mention of her mother.
"How will we do it?" Luke asked. "What should we do?"
"You must go to a crucial moment in the past," Yoda replied. "To prevent Ahsoka from leaving the Jedi Order."
"Why did she leave the Order?" Luke asked, and Obi-Wan sighed.
"The Jedi Council made a mistake," Yoda said with a guilty expression. "One of many."
"How are we supposed to do it?" Leia asked.
"You must convince her. She was very important to her father," Obi-Wan said. "Losing her made him feel alone within the Jedi Order."
"Considering all this madness is possible, what will happen if she doesn't accept?" Leia asked, trying to be reasonable.
"We will succeed," Luke said, his eyes shining with hope. He had a chance to save the galaxy, to prevent this present from happening, but most importantly, he had a chance to save his father.
"Luke, this is all too strange," Leia began, but inside, a strange hope was beginning to grow.
"After that, you must find your mother," Obi-Wan sighed again, knowing this was delicate ground.
"Will I be able to see her?" Leia said, sounding on the verge of tears. When she was little, she could only see her in her dreams; she was a very sad woman.
"You can. You must find Senator Padme Amidala," Yoda said, and the twins nodded.
Padme was their mother's name. Luke didn't even know her name. Leia knew it, but she didn't know anything else about her. She was a senator, a politician like her.
"Even if we find them? How will they know it's us?"
"You must remind Ahsoka of the words Anakin said to her when he accepted her as his Padawan," Obi-Wan said, placing his hands on the twins' foreheads and passing on the memory. Immediately, both of them began to weaken, everything becoming blurry.
"And what about my mother? How will we know what to say to Mom?" Leia asked, holding onto Luke to keep from falling.
"You'll have to give this to her. There was only one in the entire galaxy, and she always carried it with her. There's no other like it. When you give it to her, she'll believe you," Obi-Wan said, handing Leia what looked like a hand-carved necklace. As soon as she touched it, she felt hope grow even more in her heart.
"Mother, Father, we'll come for you," Luke smiled hopefully.
"When we find them? How will this change the present?" Leia asked.
"Together you must find out. You must trust only Ahsoka first.
"Why not you? Why don't we just look for you?"
"We were naive at that time," Yoda said.
"I often doubted Anakin," Obi-Wan said with a pained expression. "My judgment was clouded. I didn't see that Anakin wasn't the only one responsible for his actions. Palpatine poisoned him from the age of nine. It was my fault he wasn't given the rank of Master. I always said he wasn't ready. He was good, kind, my brother," Obi-Wan said.
"What happens if we don't make it?" Leia asked again.
"You must," Obi-Wan said. He was the only hope.
"Why don't we just tell my father?" If he was good, he wouldn't want to become a monster.
"Only you will know when the time is right to tell him, but you must be careful. Palpatine had a lot of influence over Anakin."
"What if we just kill the Emperor?" Leia asked, and Yoda smiled for a minute. That girl was a reflection of Padme and Anakin.
"Only the Chosen One can defeat Palpatine."
"My father?" Luke asked.
"Luke said you were very strong. Can't you defeat him?" Leia asked.
"I failed in my time. That's why I spent all those years in exile," Yoda commented.
"Only Father can defeat him?" Luke said. Everything was getting complicated. What if he was wrong? What if everyone was wrong, and there was no light in Anakin, neither before nor now?
"Only he will," Obi-Wan smiled. "Save him. You must do what I couldn't do." Obi-Wan smiled, walking toward Luke as Yoda walked toward Leia.
"These are the faces of the people you should be looking for," they said, placing images in the twins' heads. Soon the siblings' vision began to blur. The last thing Leia could see was the image of Han running toward her. She wanted to say goodbye, to take him with her, but she fell unconscious, and Luke soon followed her.
Luke woke up first. Leia was lying on top of him, unconscious.
"Leia, Leia, wake up," Luke said, gently waking her up.
"Luke," Leia cried, jumping up. "Wasn't that a dream?"
"I don't think it was, Leia," Luke said, terrified but mostly excited.
They looked at the place they were in; the place was familiar to Leia.
"Coruscant," Leia said, observing how much the place had changed. They were definitely in the past. This didn't seem to be the Imperial era. They agreed after walking for a few minutes.
"How will we find Ahsoka?" Luke asked.
"I think I have the answer, walking right in front of us," Leia replied.
"It's her," Luke said, walking toward her; there was no time to waste.
"Ahsoka," Leia called, and the woman in question stared at them, momentarily shocked.
Those two looked just like her master and Senator Padme Amidala. Was she seeing things wrong?
"Who are you?" she asked defensively when she managed to recover from her surprise; it must have been just a resemblance.
"You can't abandon the Jedi Order," Luke said, and Leia glared at him. He hadn't even been tactful in saying it, he hadn't even asked what had happened. The girl would think they had been sent by a member of the Jedi Council.
"I see, the council sent them," Ahsoka said, continuing on her way. "My decision is made, there's nothing for me there," she said without pausing this time.
"Ahsoka, please," Luke said, seeing his chance slipping away.
"We are the children of Anakin Skywalker," Leia shouted, and Ahsoka turned around, looking at her in shock. Looking to her side, Leia saw Luke had the same look on his face.
"What?" Ahsoka asked, approaching the woman. "Who are you, and why do you claim to be my master's children? That's impossible anyway; they're his age," she said, looking at them. "Who are you really?"
"The children of Anakin Skywalker, we're from the future. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda sent us to find you," Luke said. "Please allow us to explain everything."
"From the future?" "Do you think I'm some kind of stupid?" Ahsoka asked, annoyed, but she couldn't deny that the man was identical to Anakin, and if this was true, she didn't even have to ask who the mother was; the woman was a living copy of Padme Amidala.
"I can prove it," Luke replied, and Ahsoka, after much thought, nodded, giving him a chance to speak. "I can't believe I'm doing this, but prove it," she said resignedly, taking a seat on one of the Coruscant benches.
"When he accepted you as his Padawan," Leia said, remembering, "he told you that you wouldn't have made it as Obi-Wan's Padawan, but you would make it as his Padawan."
"How do you know this?" Ahsoka said, standing up and looking at them defensively. "Only Anakin was with me."
"Obi-Wan said that would be enough," Luke said, terrified. "How was they supposed to convince her?"
"Ahsoka, please, you must believe us. The future will be a nightmare if you don't help us."
"How do you expect me to believe you're from the future and the children of my master? Jedi can't have families," Ahsoka said, not knowing what to do.
"Use the Force and see the truth in my words," Luke said, sitting down to be at Ahsoka's eye level.
"I can't believe I'm going to do this," Ahsoka said, concentrating as she tried to use the Force to access parts of the brothers' memories. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw only a part of them, but more importantly, she saw the conversation she had with Yoda and Obi-Wan from minutes before.
