This story is about all the what ifs in Star Wars after movie 3. What if Anakin didn't turn? What if Padme didn't die? What if the order wasn't destroyed? What if Luke and Leia grew up with both their real parents? And what if another sith lord rose and everything that finally was set right was threatened to be destroyed?

What if…

Chapter 1

Meet the Skywalkers

"Luke! Leia! Dinner!" Anakin called his children.

A few moments later the twins came sprinting into the kitchen of the mansion in the lake country of Naboo.

At the sight of their father they immediately skidded to a stop.

"What's for dinner?" Leia asked sweetly trying to avoid getting scolded.

"Sausage and vegetables." The twins started to walk off, " But you're not off the hook for your little stampede."

They turned around and walked, hanging their heads, back to their father standing in the kitchen.

"You have to be careful you could have hurt your selves or someone else. I don't want you to get hurt so please don't run inside."

"Yes father." The twins replied in unison.

"Now go wash up."

With that they scurried off to get ready for dinner.

When they reached the dinning room they found their mother sitting there talking to Sabe.

When the women saw them approach they stopped discussing and greeted the twins.

"Hello there Luke, Leia." Sabe greeted them.

"Hi Aunty Sabe!" Luke said beaming.

"Hi Aunt Sabe." Leia said smiling.

"What no greeting for your mother?" Padme said sarcastically.

The twins ran over to their mother and she embraced them both. They then took their seats.

Shortly Anakin came in greeted Sabe and kissed Padme before taking his place at the head of the table.

As if on cue the food was brought in and they began to eat and formed casual conversations based on their interests.

Anakin talking to Luke about flying and some about the force, because even thought Anakin and Padme had decided much to the order's disappointment they wanted Luke and Leia to have a choice before they pledged their lives to the Jedi. Leia had decided to follow her mother into politics, Anakin, after asking Luke, was training him in the ways of the force.

Leia had joined Padme and Sabe in discussing the issues that faced the senate and their friend Supreme Chancellor Bail Organa.

After Palpatein was discovered as Darth Sidious Senator Organa was voted the new Supreme Chancellor. After the vote Padme had resigned from her post as senator of Naboo as Anakin had resigned from the order seeing as he had fulfilled his duty as the chosen one when Palpatian was destroyed.

Sabe, seeing as her duty working for Padme was done she had settled down near them and visited often. Obi-Wan had come once or twice in the past eight years seeing as the war was over the Jedi weren't nearly as busy.

Once they had finished their meal Luke and Anakin went out to the garage to work on the speeders and droids so, as many of them were, they were above average with extra gadgets and speed increasers much to Anakin and Luke's satisfaction. Luke had seemed to have developed Anakin's need for speed. In fact Luke had developed many of Anakin's traits for better or for worse.

Leia stayed with Padme and Sabe and continued to discussed the senate. Leia had taken more after her mother than her father. With her interest in politics and many other things that Padme enjoyed for example going to the theater.

Four Years Later

Most mornings were the same as always after breakfast Anakin took Luke out to help him learn about the force, and Leia went off to school because she wish to peruse politics. Only today would be different. Today Luke would begin construction of his very own lightsaber. Luke knew this and couldn't wait. He woke up with the sun, ate, got dressed, and when his father came sleepily down stairs he was ready to go and begin.

Luke didn't know that they would need to go to Coresant to get the crystal that is essential to the saber, but in order to do so Anakin would need to ask the council because that could take time the entire family was taking a trip to the capital. Padme had told Leia they might be able to sit in on a session of the senate and with that news Leia was ecstatic.

"Morning father!" Luke said eagerly.

Anakin's only response was something he mumbled that sounded like morning.

" Father when can we begin?"

"What do you mean?"

"The construction of my lightsaber!"

" Luke I wanted to surprise you so I didn't tell you that we must go to Coresant to ask the Jedi council for the crystal. That could take time so your mother and Leia will becoming so it'll be a vacation! Leia will get to see the senate and you will get to see the temple. But let me warn you Luke it's possible that they won't allow it seeing as you aren't part of the order."

"Could I join?"

"If you want to and if they allow it. Your mother and I wanted to leave that choice up to you."

" I want to join."

" Don't be so hasty with your decision. There are many things to think about. There are many restrictions as a Jedi. I'm not trying to talk you out of it, I think you'd do wonderfully, but I don't want you do make a quick decision and then regret it later. If you wish to join ask the council when we arrive, but please promise me you'll think over your decision with great care."

Luke lifted his chin and met his father in the eye before responding, "I promise you as my master and as my father."

"Thank you Luke. Now go pack we have a great adventure ahead of all of us."
