The Force Works In Mysterious Ways.
Chapter 1- Grand Master Skywalker.
Luke Skywalker sighed as he looked over the desert of Tatooine from the soon to be abandon farm. It had been two years since he had gone to sleep as a sixty four year old man, and awoke in his seventeen year old body. Those first few months had been full of confusion for him. Trying to figure out just why The Force had sent him back in time.
He still couldn't figure out why. But he no longer cared why he was here. All that mattered was that he was here! Once he came to that conclusion, he decided to use this 'Second Chance' wisely. So it was with that in mind, that he sought out his old mentor Ben. It surprisingly didn't take much to convince the old Jedi, of the Truth of his situation.
Of course there really was no other way to explain, why a seventeen year old boy who had never trained as a Jedi a day in his life. Would suddenly have skills in The Force that most Masters did not. When that was out of the way, the two Jedi began to make plans. The part of Luke that was a seventeen year old, wanted to rush off and start making changes right away. But Obi-Wan preached caution. That it would not do well to tip his hand prematurely.
He was right of course. But, that didn't make it any easier. Luke wanted more than anything to prevent the destruction of Alderaan, and the suffering of his sister. But that in itself would do more harm than good. One of the hardest things about being a Jedi was having to look at the 'bigger picture'. It had been the unjust destruction of Alderaan, that had garnered the Rebellion so much support.
No he couldn't stop the Death Star from destroying Alderaan. But still there was something he could do. He could make sure as many people got off the planet as possible. Which is why a few weeks ago he had Obi-Wan send an encrypted untraceable message to his old friend Bail Organa. The message simply said.
Alderaan in danger! Evacuate now!Brother getting ready to reunite with Sister.
Signed O.W.K
Along with the message was the coordinates for the planet that eventually became New Alderaan in his original timeline. Now all they could do was put their faith in The Force that Bail heeded the message before it's too late. Hopefully the man himself would be able to get off world as well. Luke knew how hard the death's of her adopted parent's had effected Leia and wished to at least spare her that pain.
"Are you ready, Luke?" Asked a voice from behind. "The Imperials could be here at any moment."
Luke turned around to see his friend and mentor, Obi-Wan standing by a speeder with the droids R2 and C-3PO.
Luke gave him a nod before he headed to the speeder he turned and gave one last look at his boyhood home. Smiling sadly, Luke gazed at the now empty homestead. It had taken a Mind Trick from Luke, but he had convinced his Aunt and Uncle to sell the farm to the Darklighters and start a farm on Dantooine. Luke was determined to at least spare them the same fate as last time. He would make sure to visit them, when it was safe to do so.
Walking to the land speeder, Luke looked down at Obi-Wan. That was another change Luke had made. Shortly after having to terms with his situation, He decided that he didn't want to be so sort this time around. So using a Force Technique he had learned about in a Holocron, he manipulated the Midi-chlorians in his body to stimulate growth, and muscle density.
Luckily Luke was sent back in a time when his body was still growing, however slightly. Otherwise he wouldn't have gained any height. Now though, he stood at a respectable height of 6.0 as apposed to his previous of 5.6. While not the tallest of people, at least now, Leia wouldn't be able to make her 'Too short to be a Stormtrooper' remark.
"Let's go." Said Luke, climbing into the driver seat of the Landspeeder. So the two Jedi Masters and droids were heading to Mos Eisley. It was time to reunite with his sister.
They arrived at Mos Eisley, without much fan fair. Discounting once again having to Mind Trick a couple of stormtroopers. And headed deeper into the Outpost towards Chalmun's Cantina. To avoid getting into a brawl with the same two thugs again. Luke went to buy some supplies while Ben went to find Han and Negotiate passage off world.
The whole time he was buying supplies. Luke couldn't shake the feeling he was being watched. Deciding to see if he could draw out his stalker. Luke took an empty back ally towards the Cantina. Making sure that both of his lightsabers(One his father's and one he made himself.) were strapped to his belt.
Sure enough, about halfway through the ally. Luke's danger sense warned him to duck. And that is exactly what he did. Ducking and rolling just as a blaster bolt went right through where his head had been. Sprang back up drawing his green bladed lightsaber as he did so. He spun around only to freeze, not expecting the face of his attacker to be a familiar one. Indeed a face that he dreamed about almost every night.
"Mara!" Luke whispered in shock, seeing the seventeen year old version of his future wife standing before him holding a blaster.
(A.N) Bit of a short first chapter. I apologize about that, but this is really just a build up. Any ways I was writing the next installment of Gift of the Force when the Plot Bunny for this attacked me. And I couldn't continue writing GOTF until I typed this out. I haven't read any Luke goes back in time to ANH stories out there, so I though why not? Well hope you like it. Review and let me know. Okay?
