Also, I realized while writing the PREVIOUS chapter that I actually hadn't done even a single Obi-Wan-perspective bit yet, so now seemed like a good time to start.
But as a shitty movie would say at this point: "Begun, the Clone War...has."
The temptation to do a joke on the equally terrible "Aroud the survivors a perimeter create!" was pretty strong, but I decided I didn't want to ruin the mood.
Describing Jedi fighting was also a challenge: I wanted to really explore what limited telekinesis would MEAN in a real battle, and how terrifying a Jedi would be if he was genuinely trying to kill his enemies.
But anyhoo, thanks for reading! More to come, obviously. Please review! It makes me sad when someone favorites but doesn't review!
Talky bits coming up next time, but the war is on - the pace is picking up, although it's got a looong way to build yet.
For those who might be worried: there is a firm plan; while obviously there will be changes as I go along, I have outlined the story and characters all the way from the first chapter up to the beginning of the Original Trilogy. Everything WILL make sense, no matter how strange it might seem right now.
Fun Final Fact: for secondary characters who aren't intended to live past the end of a chapter or two, I don't bother adding their names to the spellcheck; thus, the doomed have a little zig-zaggy red underline beneath their names every time they're mentioned as I proofread; their own little red shirts, if you will.
