Hey there readers! It's time to begin the next chapter of the Legacy of Jarik Shan! This takes place during the movie "Revenge of the Sith!"
Before reading this story, I highly suggest reading the "Legacy of Jarik Shan V2: The Clone Wars" if you haven't already. If you don't read that then you most likely won't understand a few things in this story. The prequel to that is "V1: Beginnings," although I'm not the best with inspiration for that at the moment so it's on HIATUS at the time of this announcement. I'm hoping to finish that up eventually.
Before we continue... I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS! ONLY MY OC CHARACTER JARIK SHAN IS OWNED BY ME! THE REST IS OWNED BY DISNEY AND LUCASFILMS. Ah, there we go. :D
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter in Jarik's story! I've been planning this OC character for a very long time, and his story extends all the way after the Sequel Trilogy itself!
(P.S. this is all mostly from Jarik's POV and the canon is mostly based off of Disney canon but with my own added elements from the Old Republic and other history.)
I'm gonna call my CANON timeline the Legacyverse. Or the Shaniverse, you guys decide alright? ;)
The story so far...
Jarik Shan became the Padawan to Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in the year 21 BBY. His first mission with his master is the Second Battle of Geonosis, where they recapture the desert planet and destroy its droid factories. Jarik and Ahsoka grow closer to each other over the bond during their campaigns in the Clone War, and earn quite a reputation for themselves. Jarik is given the name of "The Slicer" while Ahsoka is given the title of "Fierce Commander."
After a year has passed, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and Jarik are called by the Ones to the planet Mortis, where Jarik encounters Darth Revan for the first time during the incident. He receives a warning vision from Bastila Shan, although at the time he does not yet realize his family heritage, the name of Shan being lost after Darth Bane killed all those who held the name, except for one who escaped his carnage. Ahsoka dies, and Jarik is broken and devastated until the Daughter uses her remaining power to bring her back to life. The Force bond between Ahsoka and Jarik is renewed, and they grow ever closer, being tied to each other with the pure essence of the Light Side.
The Clone Wars wage on, with Jarik faces many challenges and hardships in the war. Those tough times include the false death of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the betrayal of Pong Krell, and the revelation that his parents were killed by the Sith Lord Darth Maul when he was only a baby. As he continues to train under Obi-Wan, Jarik's power and perceptiveness in the Force only grows stronger, and he receives visions of powerful wielders of the Dark Side, including one such vision of an entity named Snoke while chaperoning younglings during the Gathering. He also uncovers the first real evidence of the Sith Lord who is the Master of Count Dooku, bringing this knowledge to the Jedi Council.
When Ahsoka is framed and accused of the bombing of the Jedi Temple in 19 BBY, Jarik is enraged, and struck with conflicting emotions during the entire incident. When the moment came that Ahsoka chose not to rejoin the Jedi, the two confessed their love for each other, and Ahsoka promised Jarik to remain with the Jedi and fight for what's right.
After the crisis in which Ahsoka left the Order, Master Yoda and Jarik embark on missions given to them by the will of the Force, with Yoda training in how to manifest a consciousness after death. There he learns about Jarik Shan's ancestry, and discovers that the Shan family was nearly wiped out by the ancient Sith Lord Darth Bane. Jarik on the other hand, travels to Lothal and enters the World Between Worlds, hearing voices of the past, present and future, and discovering his true heritage from the spirits of Satele Shan, Bastila Shan, and Revan. He is then tempted by the entity known only as Snoke, although it is revealed that his Force bond with Ahsoka leaves him immune to such temptation from the Dark.
After returning from his mission, Jarik Shan and Master Yoda speak with each other, and agree to discuss what they learned later in private. And now we reach the time period in which Chancellor Palpatine has been kidnapped by a massive force of Separatists, beginning the Battle of Coruscant. Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Jarik Shan have been dispatched from Mandalore back to Coruscant in order to rescue the Chancellor...
