It always annoyed me that the Jedi just go into hiding after Sidious takes over, so here I'm hypothesising about what might have happened if they tried to rebuild the order in secret and start the rebellion a lot faster. It will be Obi-centric and some romance will develop slowly.

Please point out anything I'm forgetting about and let me know what direction you'd like the story to go or what you think should happen. Hope you like it!

Don't own Obi-Wan. Kinda wish I did.


"We're close."

"Shall I set you down here?"

"Yes."

Obi-Wan stood in the cramped confines of the cockpit and stood by the hatch as Bail Organa manoeuvred the ship towards the ground.

"The ship won't last long in this weather. I'll circle back to those rocks and try to find some shelter. The last thing we want is to all be stuck out here." He glanced back at Obi-Wan, who was pulling on a helmet with a visor and scarf to protect his face from the snow. "Be careful. Humans aren't meant to survive in climates like this. I'll pick you up in ten minutes."

"Alright." The hatch opened and a blast of ice and snow blew in. Bail had lowered the ship as close to the ground as he could, and Obi-Wan jumped down from a few metres up. Once he was sure of his footing, he waved to Bail, and the ship disappeared quickly into the snow, taking the light with it. Obi-Wan stood for a moment in the freezing darkness trying to focus and find where that shimmer in the Force had come from. He knew it was close… Ah. It was below him.

His hands already stiffening up from the cold, he fumbled for his lightsaber through thick gloves. He was half afraid it wouldn't work in a temperature of less than -50 degrees. However, the blue glow appeared and started to melt the snow in front of his feet. He pushed it out of the way as it softened, working down half his height until he came to the rock surface. He could have tried to find the real entrance to the cave, but there was no time, so he plunged his lightsaber straight into the rock and heaved on it, slicing across until a section collapsed down into the cave underneath.

Then he switched the blade off and dropped through the gap.
