Hello Star Wars fans!

So for those of you who are new to my writing, welcome! If you've also read my other story about Anakin Padme Ahsoka and the Council watching YouTube videos, nice to see you again!

So this idea just popped into my head the other day, and I decided to write a short thing on it and put it out, seeing how people react to it. If people seem to like it I might continue.

So this was inspired in part by several time travel fics, as well as a story I ran into on Archive of Our Own titled "Edges of the World" by glompcat. It's about Leia Organa and Leia Skywalker (who Leia would've been if Anakin hadn't turned) switched places between ANH and ESB. I thought, What if not just Leia switched? then realized that'd be a stupid idea because no one would know what the hell was going on. So I decided to pull the AU Skywalker family, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka (they're basically family anyway) and Bail Organa into the canon universe.

This chapter is kinda short, just going off of my original thoughts that've gone through my head while I'm walking around campus, and I'll probably end up going back and revising it at some point. But since I'm using this as a trial run for this idea, we'll see where it goes!

Okay, enough of my blabbing on and on. Let's get started!


And here he thought things were actually going to go as planned for once. Cursing in Huttese, Anakin Skywalker jumped into the pilot seat, which had been vacated by the designated pilot the moment he had run into the cockpit.

"Luke, quick! I'm gonna need your help if we're gonna get out of this thing back on the ground." Immediately, his son sat next to him in the copilot seat, which had also been vacated. (It was an unspoken rule throughout the Republic's pilots that whenever a Skywalker entered the cockpit and there was any sort of danger, you get the hell out of the way).

"What's happening?" Without even looking, Anakin could tell that his wife and daughter, along with the rest of their party, had joined him and Luke in the cockpit.

"It looks like we're going to have another famous Skywalker emergency landing!" Luke yelled.

"You mean crash landing?" Despite the situation, Anakin couldn't hold back a slight laugh at his daughter's remark, which earned her a glare from her twin.

This was SUPPOSED to be a diplomatic mission, Anakin thought to himself. He, his family, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Bail Organa had been sent to Bepsin to help settle a boarder dispute.

Well, really Padme and Bail had been sent. Everyone else just had refused to be left behind. (Anakin was originally assigned to the mission as Padme's personal Jedi Protector, and he had requested Obi-Wan's (not really needed) assistance. This meant that Luke would have to accompany his father and master. Leia refused to be left behind, so Ahsoka had marched right into the Council Chambers and refused to leave until the two of them were also assigned to the mission. Personally Anakin didn't understand why the Council hadn't just assigned all of them from the beginning. This happened every time someone was left out.)

Somehow along the way, however, the ship's hyperdrive suddenly failed, and even Anakin and Luke's best attempts at fixing it failed, which was a first. Then, all of a sudden, all of the ship's systems started going haywire, which led to them coming out of hyperspace somewhere in the Hoth system, so at least they were close. However, suddenly their ship started crashing towards the main planet of the system, Hoth. It took all of Anakin and Luke's combined piloting skills to keep the ship from blowing apart.

Somehow, they managed to bring the ship safely to a stop on the planet. Sighing, Anakin and Luke sat back, both of them pushing their hair back in identical movements.

"Another happy landing." Anakin heard Obi-Wan joke. He just turned and playfully glared at his former master.

"Well now what? We obviously aren't leaving on THIS ship. Ani, could you see if you and Luke can get the communications back online?" Anakin nodded at his wife, and made to get up, but was stopped by his daughter's voice.

"Hey, look! Someone is coming! I didn't even know any sentient beings lived on this planet!" Leia cried out, pointing out the cockpit's window. Immediately, everyone moved to disembark the wrecked ship. That was the first time that Anakin noticed something unusual. The pilot and copilot, as well as R2D2 and C-2PO, had disappeared. He assumed that they simply were in another part of the ship, but something was telling him there was more to it.

By the they had exited the ship, they could see that the approaching figure was a human man riding a tauntaun. Upon seeing the group, he slowed down and jumped off the animal, holding its reins in his hands. Then all of a sudden, he started yelling.

"What in kriffing hell were you thinking, causing such a commotion?! Do the words "secret Alliance base" mean anything to you? We're trying to organize a rebellion here, and you're amazing skills at subtlety are sure to keep them off our tails!" Immediately, Leia spoke up.

"What are YOU talking about? Rebellion? Are you planning of rebelling against the Republic? Who are you anyway?" Upon seeing her, the man immediately stopped and stared, eyes wide. Then he appeared to look at Luke, and if anything he became even more shocked and confused. The Jedi in the group could feel his confusion and panic taking over his entire being. Suddenly, so quickly they could barely see his movement (which was impressive, given who was in the group), the man pulled up a comlink and spoke into it.

"Echo Seven to Echo Three. Kid, do you read me?" There was a few moments of static, then another voice came through.

"Loud and clear, Han old buddy. What's up? Did you get to the crash site yet? I'm on my way over now." For a moment, Anakin thought his ears had malfunctioned. Everyone in their group stared with wide eyes at Luke, for the voice over the comm had sounded exactly like him. Luke himself had a look of complete shock on his face.

"Yeah, I'm here. You should probably contact Base and tell the Princess she should get out here too, and that she should bring a transport big enough to carry seven additional passengers." Princess? What was going on? What was a princess, of any planet, doing on Hoth? As far as Anakin knew, the planet Hoth was practically inhospitable to any life forms. After the man (Han, according to the person who sounded like Luke) turned off his comlink, he continued to stare at the group in a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"Excuse me, but could you please explain things to us? Who are you? Why are you talking about a rebellion? We are very confused. I am Padme Amidala, senator for Naboo. These are my good friends Bail Organa, the viceroy and senator of Alderaan, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano. And here is my husband, Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker, and our twin children, Jedi Padawans Luke and Leia Skywalker." The man's reaction only continued to confuse their group even more. He simply gaped at Padme, opening and closing his mouth like a scalefish. After what felt like hours (although it probably was only a standard minute if that) the man closed his mouth and cleared his throat.

"I am Han Solo, captain of The Millennium Falcon. I think we should wait for my friends to come here before I explain much more. You'll see why when they get here. Look, I don't know what's going on, but I bet it has something to do with the kid and The Force. I personally have a hard time believing in that hokey religion, even after knowing him for three years." The man continued to ramble, but Anakin couldn't find himself to pay attention to what he was saying. He'd never met someone who didn't believe in The Force. The group looked at each other in disbelief.

Before any of them could ask the man why he didn't believe in The Force, they all heard the approach of another tauntaun, as well as a transport. Anakin could sense two Force presences, which were strangely familiar to him. The figure who was riding the tauntaun dismounted and followed Han in tying his steed to the transport. Another figure came out of the transport, and Solo went to converse with them. After a minute, the Jedi in the group could feel the shock and disbelief of the two new arrivals. They looked at each other with growing concern. Who were these people that the group's presence meant so much to them?

The trio approached the larger group, and the two newcomers lowered their hoods, making Anakin's heart stop. Standing in front of him were his children.


Sorry about the lack of action in that crash landing, but I am new to this, so just picture something similar to the crash landing on Coruscant in RotS. Also, I know Han is a little OOC here with the rant about safety and that'd kinda be more Luke-like, but I wanted Han to be the one to find them.

Anyway, tell me what you think!
