Well, I've been cooking this idea for quite some time, and I think it's going to be an awesome one!

Basically, I'm changing the movies just slightly with the added character of Elizabeth Langford. This has been ringing around, and I've almost made it a live-action thing with moments that I'm sure no one will notice or hear me, and I finally cannot hold this one in any longer. This was originally going to be a story about Seedlings on Earth without Star Wars involved in the way that it is, but then I watched Rogue One and my imagination sparked.

Background info I thought you'd like to know: Seedlings are humanoids who have a seed over their heart from the moment of their birth, either due to exposure to the rock the Seedling planet is made from or from their parents being Seedlings. They have powerful Force abilities, and on Earth it is regarded as magic. They went into hiding after the Salem Witch trials, and Elizabeth just happens to be the first in 2000 years to find their home galaxy. The Seedlings' destinies are all steeped into the Dark Side, and their seed grows every time they give in even a little bit to the Dark Side. If they attempt to force off their seed, they die instantly. There is a way to get rid of it without dying, but I won't tell that to you yet ;).

Elizabeth's story will start when she first meets Obi-Wan Kenobi, but the next chapter will be her at the end of the five years.

I really hope you like the story, and please review and tell me what you think!

P.S. Special thanks to Nequam95 for the heads-up about this chapter, this is an updated version of the chapter.


Elizabeth Langford woke up in her bed suddenly, knowing that today was the day: the day her life would change forever. She didn't know how she knew, maybe it was the dreams (visions? she wondered) or maybe it was the way her seed was growing and pulsing inside of her chest.

As a Seedling, she was gifted with a huge amount of power that her family wasn't. Her family was human, and she was a Seedling. No one could figure out why. She always thought that it was the norm, not the exception. Time and again, however, she saw that she was the former, not the latter.

She had been practicing her powers with the help of some children's shows that dominated her life: My Little Pony, Ben 10, even Star Wars. She went outside to try to figure out something that she saw in My Little Pony: teleportation.

As she prepared herself for the feat, she made an X on the ground at the other side of her backyard with her sister watching. She closed her eyes and thrust her arms up, opening her hands to the sky in an almost desperate prayer-like or warrior stance. She concentrated on disappearing and reappearing on the X. Her thoughts, however, wandered to Star Wars again as she was harnessing her power (particularly Obi-Wan's hut on Tatooine), and she opened her eyes to see the earth disappearing in a whirl of light. She blinked many times, and the scene in front of her changed to a desert with not much life, but a metal door right in front of her. She suddenly became frightened. Where was she? Was she even in Kansas?

No, she wasn't, she realized. I'm not even on Earth anymore, am I?

Suddenly, an old man walked out and looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared there as if out of nowhere. He then realized that she might not have realized where she had appeared and said, "Well, hello there, little friend! Come in before the suns give you a severe burn!"

Scared, she cowered away from the old man, not knowing who he was or where he came from or his intentions. He simply held out a hand and gave a warm smile as he said again, "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. Can you even understand me?" He muttered to himself, "I hope she does, otherwise we're in quite a conundrum."

"Who are you?" she asked. "What do you want? Why should I come in?"

"Well, the twin suns will scorch your skin without proper protection, for one, and for another, there's a band of sand people about to come through here, so I'm trying to help you," the old man reassured her. "My name is Ben, Ben Kenobi. I only want to help you get back where you came from and to know who you are."

Recognizing the name from her old favorite movies but confused as to what he could possibly mean, she asked, "Where am I?"

"Come inside, and I'll try to help you, little one," Ben offered her, his hand still outstretched. His eyes, while confused as to this particular happenstance, were kind and wished to help as much as possible.

Elizabeth hesitated before taking it and following Ben inside the surprisingly cool house. He sat her down and offered her water, which she happily drank. The use of magic always wore her out in some way, and this stunt had rendered her dehydrated.

"Where am I?" she repeated after taking a few fresh gulps of water.

"The planet Tatooine," Ben explained. "Are you lost?"

"In a way. I was trying to learn a teleportation spell, but I must've gotten distracted and ended up here instead. I'm from Earth. My name is Elizabeth Langford," the young girl replied.

The old man noticed the vines growing on Elizabeth's body. They only covered a small part of her chest, so they were not too noticable to the naked eye, but her sweat caused her shirt to stick to her skin and show the vines more plainly. He delved deeply into his memory and asked, "Are you a Seedling?"

Surprised at his question, she asked, "How do you know about Seedlings? I thought that they only existed on Earth."

"There's a whole planet full of them in this galaxy. So there are Seedlings where you are from? Earth, was it?"

"Yes, I'm from Earth. Yes, there are Seedlings, but they all live in hiding on Earth. I'm guessing I'm not anywhere near home now, am I?"

"No, I believe you are not. I am sorry. You say you were learning a transportation spell?"

"Yes. I'm self-taught, and everything I know about magic I taught myself." She puffed her chest out in pride, glad to tell someone about her powers without having to worry about them telling others. The fact that there were Seedlings in this galaxy was even better for her.

"Well, I understand mysterious forces as an effect of the Force," Ben said, causing her to think harder about her situation and come out of her prideful thinking.

"The Force?" she asked, trying to glean more information about her situation.

"The Force is an energy field that connects all living things. It binds us, holds us together, all throughout the universe. It seems that there are those where you are from who can use the Force."

"So there are people who have mag - I mean, the Force - here?"

"Yes. There was once many, but most of them were killed fifteen years ago. I am one of the few left. This galaxy has a rich history, and I am sorry not to be able to tell you all about it."

I'm in Star Wars! she realized. But before Luke gets the droids and Alderaan was destroyed! I can't let him know too much!

"There's a whole series of motion pictures from my home planet about this galaxy," she blurted out after another gulp of water. "It not only tells of the past, but also about a possible future. In that possible future, you die, your master dies, your old apprentice dies, lots of people die. There's someone who brings the Jedi Order back, and his dad's a Dark Lord, and there's a lot of family drama that ends up shaping the whole galaxy."

"What do you mean, Elizabeth?" the old man asked, surprised at her statement. Never before had he heard of this type of thing. He had heard before of motion pictures, which were like mobile 2-D holographic images, but never before had he heard about a series about his home galaxy.

Elizabeth realized his confusion and explained, "It's called Star Wars, and you lost your old apprentice to the Dark Side, and he's now Darth Vader, and you're protecting Luke Skywalker, his son, and your friend Bail Organa is protecting Leia, Luke's sister, and... and... and..." she ran out of breath and took another drink of water before continuing, "and the Empire's still building the Death Star, you have no idea if any other Jedi besides Yoda are still alive, and I just appeared in an awkward place in the timeline of the story, didn't I?"

Surprised at all she knew, Ben said, "Well, I guess you know my real name, then. You know, your family must be worried about you."

"They probably are, but they know to start an international search if I'm not back by the end of the week."

"Ah. Well, in the meantime, since you know somewhat where you are and WHEN you are in our story, I might as well ask: how old are you? You seem a little young to have such strength in the Force as you have demonstrated."

"I'm 14 years old, sir, and I've been training myself all my life. I got the idea for teleportation from another motion picture show I like to watch."

"Well, that's somewhat comforting. Luke's about a year older than you. Does that tell you anything?"

"He's not getting those droids for at least another five standard years, if I remember correctly."

"Exactly. Now, the Jedi are nearly extinct, and I am wondering: would you like to come back and visit occasionally, maybe train to be a Jedi, too? You obviously have the capacity to transport yourself to different planets and galaxies, and I would like you to be able to use your powers for a purpose: peace."

"Really? You want me to train to be a Jedi?!"

"Exactly. I've got nothing to do for the next five years, so I'd actually like it. It gets lonely when you're a hermit with almost no living friends. Are you interested?"

"I want to train! Definitely! I can't believe it! I'm gonna be a Jedi!" Elizabeth jumped out of her seat and jumped up and down with excitement, her vines pulsing with her, also excited for the prospect. She then suddenly thought, Oh man, what did I just get myself into?

Obi-Wan interrupted her thoughts with a sigh and said, "Well, you better get home for now, but will you come back tomorrow? Or next week? I'm free for the next five years, after all, and I really only have one mission for all that time."

"I'll talk to my mom, and I'll be back as soon as I can!" she promised. Her excitement suddenly ground to a halt as she asked, "Uh, how am I supposed to get back home?"

"The same way you came, I imagine," Obi-Wan replied with a smile. "You must be very powerful in the Force to be able to teleport yourself anywhere you please, and I am sure that your powers will not fail you. Now go, and stay focused on your location that you wish to go to. You don't want to end up in the hands of the Empire!"

"I will! Goodbye!"

"May the Force be with you, young Elizabeth."

She ran outside and glanced up at the twin suns of Tatooine, making sure she wasn't really in Australia or Arizona. She closed her eyes and really focused on the X back home in her backyard, and held her hands in the same position as before. Her power ignited, and she made sure to only focus on the X this time. The desert planet of Tatooine disappeared around her, and she was on her way home.


Obi-Wan looked where the young girl had disappeared and smiled. Happy to know that the girl would be home safe, he went into some old databanks that hadn't been touched for years and looked up all information he could about Seedlings and this planet called Earth. He found nothing of Earth, but found that a colony of Seedlings did go to a distant planet in a distant galaxy to try to take it over and were never heard from again. No Seedling from that planet ever came back, and it seemed that knowledge of the Force had gone into this "magic" that Elizabeth spoke of.

He began to wonder just what he had gotten himself into.


Elizabeth appeared again in her backyard, her sister and mother running to her in tearful joy. She hugged them back and cried with them, happy to be back. Thoughts of Tatooine did not leave her mind, however, and she just had to know one thing. Before dinner that night, she looked up all possible Force abilities that she could and found that all of her powers lined up with them. The fact that there was the history of the galaxy in front of her on this computer, that this universe which everyone on Earth thought of as fictional was real and she had stepped foot into that universe. It was even in her own universe, and it was just a few trillion light-years away.

So how did George Lucas find information about this galaxy? How did he know so much about what had not even happened at the point that he made the movies? How did the writers of numerous Star Wars books know about this galaxy without being found out by that galaxy or by people form Earth?

No answer was to be found anywhere.

"Mom, can I train to be a Jedi?" she asked suddenly that night at the dinner table.

"What do you mean, sweetie?" her mother asked, curiously suspicious. "Did you arrive at a Star Wars fan's house on accident?"

"No, I landed on Tatooine!" she replied excitedly, the events swirling through her brain again. "I met Obi-Wan Kenobi at his hut, Luke Skywalker's only about a year older than me, and the Empire's not finished its Death Star! It's five years before A New Hope! Can I train with Obi-Wan, Mom? Please please please?"

Her mother looked into her eyes and saw no lie in them. Elizabeth's story, no matter how fantastical, was real, at least to the young girl. She still had two questions for her daughter.

"How do you expect to train with this man you just met and expect his story to be real? How do you know that you landed on Tatooine and not Arizona?"

"There were two suns! He had a legitimate lightsaber! What more proof do I need?"

Her mother realized that with this evidence, a whole new galaxy had just been discovered on accident by her very own daughter. My life just gets weirder and weirder every day, she thought in exasperation.

She sighed as she said, "All right, on one condition: you do not stray in your schoolwork and you work hard to be a good student as well as a Jedi. I don't want you cutting your own arm off, after all, and I don't want you to slack in your responsibilities. I want you back each day before 8:00 our time, so I'm going to get you a watch so you can keep track of time. If these conditions are not met, you will not be allowed to continue your Jedi training. Understood?"

Elizabeth, who had been listening intently the whole time, nodded vigorously as she said, "Yes, I understand! WHOOHOO! I'm going to be a Jedi!"

That night, she and her twin, Claire, spoke intently about everything that had happened that day.

"So everything in the movies was real?" Claire asked.

"Yep, down to the last Jedi," Elizabeth replied excitedly.

"And you're going to be a Jedi yourself!"

"That's the plan. Let's hope that happens before the Battle of Yavin."

"I'm sure it will! You've never failed before, and I'm sure that if you work hard enough, you won't fail ever!"

"Thanks for the vote of confidence."

"Goodnight, Earth girl."

"Goodnight, Firehead."
