Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars, but I'll be glad to buy Obi-Wan from George Lucas.

Notes: This is the epilogue because I wasn't satisfied with how I left the story. For further exploration into the alternate reality this story created, see the semi-sequel Complications.

Changing History: Epilogue

Knowledge of the future is a dangerous set of information, since fate can be twisted and turned on a moment's notice. Anakin Skywalker was as in danger of falling into the grey area of the Dark Side now more than ever before, though he go on to fight his fate until his dying breath. He clutched onto his children, the children who had yet to come into existence.

Right at that moment, as the world crashed around them, Padmé went into labor. The shock of her water breaking prompted Anakin into action. The Jedi Temple was crumbling down, but temples and walls could be rebuilt. Lives could not be reborn, unless of course you were a force time traveler.

Anakin grabbed Padmé and motioned to Luke and Leia. "Come on! We have to get out of here before the building collapses."

Which, of course, spurred the other motionless Jedi into action. The children were led out into the Coruscant sky with Anakin and Obi-Wan in tow, exactly like it should have been.

Leia and Luke stood still though as the fires alighted around them. Mace Windu stopped in the Temple doorway next to Han and Chewie. "What are you waiting for?" he shouted, though nothing could be heard above the roaring of civilization's end.

Luke and Leia just stood there, both already feeling the tug of the Force. They would not be powerful enough to leave the world after their own births as the Force would be split between the four of them.

They smiled sadly, holding hands like the children they never were. They were meant to know happiness as children, and in this alternate reality, they hopefully would. A loud pop in the Force, and the droids were pulled through first. A second later, Han and Chewbaca barely had time to say goodbye before they were pulled through as well.

"What will happen to you?" Windu yelled as Yoda kept a small barrier around the two young Jedi.

"We will cease to exist, but one day, you may get to know us once again," Leia whispered softly. Her voice didn't carry down the hallway, but Mace seemed to understand.

Anakin turned with Padmé in his arms, suddenly realizing his children weren't behind him anymore. "No!" he yelled with frustrated tears rolling down his face. "You can't leave me yet."

Luke smiled ironically. "It's alright Father. Just be there for us this time around. Master Obi-Wan, promise me you'll keep him in line."

"He'll always be a youngling to me," Obi-Wan agreed.

"Good-bye Mother, goodbye Father. I'll forgive you one day; I just need time," Leia stated as she, too, was pulled through.

"May the Force be with you," Luke said simply, and with a small bow, he was gone too.

"And with you, Young Skywalker," Yoda murmured as the building caved in.

"Will there be consequences of their actions," Mace Windu asked as they stepped into night.

"Too many, I fear," Yoda murmured.

The Force hummed in agreement.

The two beings known as Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker ceased to be in the Star Wars universe as we know it.

Hours later, the future Jedi Knight Skywalker and Darth Vulcan were born.

For now, thank you to all of my patient readers and reviewers. You've inspired me to journey on to lands far, far away. May the Force be with you all.
