Chapter II
WARNING: This chapter contains spoilers for Return of the Jedi.
Luke Skywalker stood nearby a tree on Endor, watching his friends celebrate. Just hours ago, the second Death Star had been destroyed, and Anakin Skywalker had been redeemed. By killing the Emperor, Darth vader had turned from the Dark Side, and returned to the Light. When Luke got to the surface of Endor, he burned his father's body, which was the proper thing to do for most Jedi bodies after death.
While Luke watched his friends and the ewoks celebrate, he could feel the Force from behind him. He turned around, and rested his arm against a tree. He saw the glowing Force Ghosts of his former Jedi masters, Ben Kenobi and Yoda. They looked at him with humble, smiling faces. And for Luke, the best (or so it seemed) was yet to come. the Force Ghost of his now redeemed father was appearing. He faded into view, hoping to get a nice reaction out of Luke. But something was wrong. Terribly wrong. Both Luke, Yoda, and Ben stared at Anakin with disgusted looks on their faces, Obi Wan in particular.
"What? What's wrong?" Anakin said through the Force.
In that same way through the Force, Luke replied, "You're not my father!"
Anakin frowned. "What do you mean, young Luke? Of course I am. You redeemed me, remember?"
This time (through the Force, of course), Yoda spoke up. "21 years old, why are you?"
"What?"
Obi Wan then said to Anakin in a very annoyed tone, "Anakin, you look exactly like you did when I fought you on Mustifar. I mean, do we really need those images coming back now of all times?"
Now Anakin understood. "Oh, you're wondering why I'm Hayden Christiansen and not Sebastian Shaw. Well on my way to becoming a Force Ghost, he and I actually ran into each other. He said he was coming here to congratulate his kid, when George Lucas came up to us and said I'm the new Anakin. Simple as that" Anakin chuckled.
"Oh, no. Not the George Lucas crap again. I swear he's never satisfied with his work."
Yoda agreed. "Fix this problem, we must."
Ben also thought the same. He said to Luke, "First he messes with your future brother in law, and now my former padawan. What's next, he's gonna change my dragon call when I first meet you?"
That's when Luke put his foot down. "So its agreed then. We need to confront George Lucas and get him to put Sebastian Shaw back as my father."
Ben and Yoda nodded in agreement. That was when Anakin spoke up. "Hey wait. If Shaw's replacing me, then what'll happen to me then?"
That was when Ben, Yoda, and Luke all exchanged devious grins at one another, and they all reached for their lightsabers. Anakin then swallowed really hard in fear...
*20 Minutes later, at Skywalker Ranch*
George Lucas was sitting at his computer desk, still trying to work the mechanical hand he'd gotten since Han Solo had beaten him in a lightsaber duel just weeks before. He was making some personal changes to the Star wars films again. The sunlight of day shown through the windows, and Lucas was glued to the screed, his eyes bloodshot from being up so late. The Star Wars Blu Ray releases were supposed to come out in just a few days, and he had no time to waste.
"There", he said to himself. "After weeks of planning, I finally got Anakin's Force Ghost right. Hellow Hayden Christiansen, good bye, Sebastian Sha-"
His thoughts were interrupted as he heard a loud crash in the other room. It sounded like broken glass.
"Hello?... Who's there?" Lucas asked. He gripped his lightsaber, ready to ignite it at any second. He slowly paced into the next room, the dining room. He held his lightsaber handle in his right hand, when he walked in. When he did,he was shocked. He saw two glowing figures, and a teenager in black clothing with his arms crossed standing at the other end of the room.
"Who the hell are You?" Lucas shouted.
The teenager walked closer to him and reveled himself.
"I am Luke Skywalker, last of the Jedi Knights, Mr. Lucas. And these are the incarnations of my two former mentors Obi Wan Kenobi and Yoda."
Lucas nearly dropped his lightsaber at that statement. His mouth hung open as Luke continued.
"As you know, Mr. Lucas, you created us, and the Star Wars universe. However, the recently released Special Editions have created a great disturbance in the Force."
Lucas tried to respond. "I made those Special Editions 15 years ago!" He then drew out his red lightsaber and pointed the edge at Luke's throat.
"Listen, Skywalker! I created you, and I can destroy you! I already changed it to Han shooting first again, but I refuse to change Anakin's Force Ghost back to Sebastian Shaw, you got that?"
Then Obi Wan from behind sighed. "I was hoping that it wouldn't come to this, Mr. Lucas, but you leave us no choice. If you refuse to restore my Padawan to his original form, then we will have no choice but to convince the one you call Jar Jar Binks to move in with you."
Lucas was horrified at that. Jar Jar Binks as a roommate? "Look, Jar Jar wasn't my idea, it was Rick McCallum! Rick McCallum's the one you want!" Lucas shouted.
That was when Yoda spoke up. "I sense fear in you. Fear of Jar Jar Binks, I do. If restore Anakin to Sebastian Shaw you do not, then suffering from Jar Jar you will get."
Lucas waited a few seconds. "It's your choice. Either either accept our terms, or be destroyed. Jar Jar is in a Y-Wing on Naboo ready to come hear at any second."
He then looked down at a comlink he had in his pocket. "All we have to do is give the word, and he'll be on his way."
Lucas really thought about this one. On one hand Hayden Christiansen seemes like a better choice to him at the moment. But on the other hand, the thought of being roommates with Jar Jar Binks made his blood pressure drop. After about a minute, he shut off his lightsaber, and dropped it to the ground. "I will accept your deal. Sebastian Shaw will return to Episode VI... but can I at least keep the new Victory Celebration music in?"
Luke smiled. "As you wish, Mr. Lucas."
The Jedi Force Ghosts and Jedi Knight the faded out from sight. They were gone. Good.
*Another 20 Minutes later*
Back on Endor, the celebration was still going on. The rebels were still partying with the ewoks since the second Death Star had been destroyed. When Luke felt the Force behind him this time around, he was much more confident on what he was going to find. He turnd around, rested his arm on a tree, and saw three Force Ghosts- Obi Wan, Yoda, and Anakin. This time, he was the Sebastian Shaw Anakin.
Through the Force, Anakin said to Luke, "Thank you Luke. Thank you for knowing who the real redeemed Anakin Skywalker is."
"It's my pleasure." Luke replied.
Then Obi Wan got curious about something. "Say, Luke? Whatever happened to Jar Jar and the Y-Wing?"
Luke then deviously grinned. "Let's just say that he no longer needs to put up with Naboo anymore..."
*Back at Skywalker Ranch*
George Lucas was on the internet in his room, Google Searching "How to stop Force Ghosts from entering your house", when he heard a knock on his front door. It sounded as if any old person could be there. George walked down his staircase, and unlocked his door. But when he opened it, he saw something terrifying- a floppy,clumsy looking gungan at his doorstep, one who just so happened to be called Jar Jar Binks.
"Hello, Mr Lucas! Thesa Jedi told mesa to live here! Isn't dat just the bestest? Wesa goona play games, watch movies, fight off tewwible droid armies..."
While Jar Jar was still blabbering, George Lucas attempted to comprehend this. When he finally did, he could only think to say one thing:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
