Rebirth of the Light: Glimpses of the Future
It took far longer than I had ever intended, but Rebirth of the Light: The Years In Between is finally completed. There were a lot of unexpected plot changes along the way, including a rewriting of the final chapter in the original Rebirth of the Light.
This final installment was also never a part of the plan, but one night, while I was supposed to be working on a final paper for a rather excruciating grad class, I randomly came up with the idea for one of the later chapters. I was stupid enough to indulge that particular train of thought, and what emerged was this collection of one-post, one-scene snippets of life for the Skywalker/Kenobi family after the last chapter in The Years That Followed.
When the Force intervened, allowing Darth Vader to be redeemed through the birth of his children, a lot more than just Anakin's life changed. Now the Rebellion has a chance against the Empire, the Jedi Order is rebuilding itself, and both the Emperor and the Death Star are no longer in the equation. Glimpses of the Future can be read as an epilogue to The Years That Followed series. Some moments are the kind you would expect, others will hopefully come as something of a surprise. Hopefully, all of them will touch you in their separate ways and act as a final salute to the AU version of Anakin and Obi-wan's story that has been Rebirth of the Light.
To my readers who have held out this long, thanks and apologies for all the delays. And to any who joined along the way or are just now wandering in, again with sincere apologies…the earlier chapters seemed much better when I originally wrote them all those years ago.
May the Force be with you,
Caslia
