"I Died Eating Cheetos and Woke Up as Cannon Fodder: A Clone Trooper

Marcus Chen had one thing going for him in life: he knew Star Wars. Not the Disney stuff—the real Star Wars. The Original Trilogy. The Prequels. The Clone Wars. The Expanded Universe novels that he had arranged in perfect chronological order on his bookshelf. He could recite the complete history of the Mandalorian Wars, explain the political structure of the Galactic Senate, and argue for three hours about whether Mace Windu could have beaten Palpatine without Anakin's interference. What he couldn't do was hold down a job, move out of his parents' basement, or maintain any kind of physical fitness routine that didn't involve walking to the refrigerator. So when a massive heart attack killed him at the ripe old age of thirty-two, Marcus figured that was it. Game over. Thanks for playing. May the Force be with you, and all that. He was wrong. Instead of whatever afterlife awaited failed nerds, Marcus woke up on Geonosis—the desert hellscape where the Clone Wars began—wearing the armor of a Republic clone trooper, carrying a blaster he'd never fired, and surrounded by the largest ground battle the galaxy had seen in a millennium. His new body is a genetic copy of Jango Fett, complete with flash-trained combat skills and reflexes that his old body could never have dreamed of. His new identity is CT-7829, a "shiny" trooper fresh out of Kamino with no combat experience and no squad to call his own. His new reality is a war that he knows—with absolute, horrifying certainty—is being orchestrated by a Sith Lord who will eventually order every clone in the galaxy to execute their Jedi commanders. And he has no idea what he's supposed to do about it. Can he change the timeline? Should he even try? If he warns the Jedi about Order 66, will they believe him—or will they assume he's malfunctioning and send him back to Kamino for "reconditioning"? If he tries to remove his inhibitor chip, will the Republic notice? If he goes AWOL, where would he even go? As Marcus—now going by the nickname "Scorch"—fights his way through the Clone Wars, he'll have to navigate a galaxy that's far more complicated than any movie or book ever depicted. He'll serve alongside legendary Jedi like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano. He'll form bonds with his fellow clones—brothers in every way that matters—even knowing that those same brothers might one day be forced to become instruments of genocide. He'll witness the corruption of the Republic, the machinations of the Separatists, and the slow, inexorable rise of the Empire. And through it all, he'll have to answer one impossible question: When you know how the story ends, do you have the power—or the right—to change it?

Star Wars Rebels: A Gray Tale

SW Legends + Canon AU ____ Alex was a software dev by day and a gamer by night, until he woke up in a galaxy far, far away. He was stuck in the scrawny seven-year-old body of Ezra Bridger, right after the Empire arrested his parents for being rebels. Talk about terrible respawn timing. Now he's trapped on Lothal, starving, powerless, and eight long years away from the Ghost crew ever showing up. Meanwhile, Darth Sidious and Vader are out there collecting skulls, and Alex knows exactly how short the average lifespan of Force-sensitives can be. Running for the rest of his life? No thanks. He refuses to be just another street rat scrambling to survive in his second chance. If he was going to be a space wizard, he was going to be the strongest one. Period. His pursuit of power led him to a single, forbidden question: one that the Jedi and Sith alike would kill to bury forever. What if midi-chlorians (the very things that connect everyone to the Force) could be extracted, stolen, ripped from another's body and made your own? Some people call that heresy. He calls it survival, and maybe, if he plays this right, something a whole lot more. Because why settle for your birthright when you can absorb someone else's. ____ VOLUME 1: The Prequel is completed.

I wanted to really read one fanfic where Ezra is the MC, and so I ended up writing one instead. Please give it a try and tell me your thoughts The plan sit to have this book be a part of the saga that would go on covering the best of star wars from all media chronologically viable to be involved in the fanfic, including but not limited to web series, games, comics and movies. The world is an mix of OG Star Wars, Disney Continuity (Other than those god-forsaken sequels I refuse to accept as canon) and LEGEND Continuity. The weak-to-strong tag is for the whole story, not just this prequel volume. Adios!
