(AN: Hi Everyone! My name is Becky and I'm a Christian mom. I read Narnia aLot as a kid and wanted to write like C.S. Lewis when I was little. I'm not really a writer anymore, but quarantine has me picking up old hobbies, so here I am! :) My sons R and J love Star Wars. R is seven and J is five and a half and they've have watched the original Starwars from the 70s and has some of the toys. We have a couple of the picture books my sister-in-law gave them like 2-3 Christmases ago. I've seen the movies a few times, because a boy I dated in high school was obsessed. I mean obsessed! He has autographs of R2-D2 and Chewbaca's original actors! And anyway, I know Star Wars has a lot about Good and Evil, and the original creator producer person George Lucas borrowed from different religions and mythologies around the globe. In short, since it's taken from all over the world, I wanted to try and give a Christian spin on it for my sons. I started writing this back in April and backlogged the first five chapters. My husband is a nurse at the local hospital, so he hasn't been with us since March, because y'know, COVID. so, its just been me with our boys. I haven't had a lot of alone time, so please understand i haven't been able to edit these first chapters. I'll work harder on the ones I am writing now. And remember, I wrote these for my boys. I'm just doing this for fun by the way, so please no mean comments, but I will take constructive criticism! I just want my sons to enjoy Star Wars with Jesus. Okay? I hope you enjoy it! Now I'm done talking now. May the "Force" be with you!) :)
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Star Wars: A New Saga: Episode I: A Light in the Darkness
There was darkness and there was light. The Lord made the universe and all that was in it. Every planet and alien and human came from him. Except for evil!
The angel Lucifer didn't like that God was worshipped all the time and began to cause chaos in the universe. He called himself the Dark Lord Satan and made his own dark religion called The Sith-a corrupt religion bent on spreading evil and corruption across the universe.
To stop the spread of evil, Jesus came. For God loves the universe and sent us his only begotten son so whoever believes in Him, will not die with the Sith, but have everlasting life. After he went back up to heaven his disciples including the wise Yoda started The Christian Jedi Order to tell the world about His Gospel OF Jesus and rid the universe of the evil Sith from its sin...
Little Anakin Skywalker worked hard on the desert planet Sandtooine. His boss was a blue flying alien named Mr. Watto who made Anakin work hard. Anakin had a mom too, Mrs. Skywalker, who was left to raise her little Anakin after Mr. Skywalker had died from a fire some time ago. Mrs. Skywalker homeschooled Anakin from their sand hut in the town Of Moss Espa, because the local school didn't teach the kids the things Mrs. Skywalker wanted her son Anakin to learn, like Jesus and the Bible.
The Skywalkers had come a long time ago to Sandtooine as missionaries wanting to preach the gospel to all the human and alien inhabitants. Mr and Mrs Skywalker had been very much eager to tell Them all about Jesus and the salvation he could give them. They would help the poor people have food and then read them the Bible and the people in the town would get saved.
But a mean alien called Jabba the Hutt, a giant alien slug, didn't like that Mr and Mrs Skywalker were telling everybody about Jesus. He didn't like Jesus because he believed in a different God, a slimy slug god that wasn't true—but he thought he was: Gharghle the Great Hutt. Jabba sent his crew to the town of Moss Espa and destroy the church that Mr and Mrs Skywalker built in the town, where all the homeless and orphan aliens were living, because they wanted to teach them more about Jesus. Jabba and his evil men shot their lasers at the church and set it on fire. There was so much screaming and fear. Fear! As the flaming building crumpled around them, Mr Skywalker said fearlessly: "we cannot fear, because God tells us not to be afraid. And we can get out safely. We just have to stop, drop, and roll."
Everyone began to stop, drop, and roll out of the church. Many lives were saved. Mr and Mrs Skywalker watched over everyone as they left the burning church. Almost everyone was out, when they saw a little furry alien called Chewbacca stick under a burning beam. Mr. Skywalker knew he could help the poor creature but knew he would never see his family again. He turned to his beautiful wife.
"Honey," he said to Mrs. Skywalker "I thank God brought us together for the time we have had. You are very much the woman that I prayed for and that my parents prayed I would marry before I was even born. But I feel I need to help the poor creature over beneath the beam, but if I save him. I will die."
Mrs. Skywalker filled with tears in her eyes, handed their swaddled baby into Mr Skywalker's hands.
"Tell our son goodbye then, so at least maybe he will have a good memory of you to have in the future" she said with tears streaming down her face. Her face was getting redder from all her sad tears.
Mr Skywalker cradled his son closely "I will love you forever my Son. You are so precious and wonderful, and I'm blessed to have been your father. But remember you have a Heavenly Father who will always watch over you, long after I'm gone. I pray you grow up to love Jesus as I and your mother have. I love you so much my son." Mr Skywalker kissed the baby Anakin, his son, and handed him back to his wife. He kissed his wife one more time, both of them crying really hard.
"I love you," Mrs Skywalker said tearfully to mr skywalker who was also full of tears. "I know. I love you too, my dear," Mr Skywalker also said tearfully. Mrs Skywalker ran out of the church with her baby Anakin and watched as the church burned and burned. The fires rose taking down the building. All of it then came down: the steeple, the walls, and doors and stained glass windows.
Everyone was sad, except for Jabba's bad guys. They cheered at the chaos they had made and some of them even laughed at the burning rubbish. But everyone else who wasn't a bad guy did not cheer or laugh. They all cried, especially Mrs Skywalker because Mr Skywalker was surely dead, and the poor creature he tried to save.
"Wait! Something is coming out of the ash!" an alien with two tentacle on its blue head excitedly exclaimed!
A little furry head popped up out of the ash.
"It's the little wookie Chewbacca" another alien excitedly said.
Everyone cheered at the little wookie being alive. A couple aliens lifted him up and all the Christians began signing Hallelujah, because the Wookiee was as live! "Rawrrra rar!" Chewbacca joyfully exclaimed in his alien Wookiee language, which means "Hallelujah!"
But Mrs Skywalker was sad her husband was dead. She prayed to God right there that Mr Skywalker May come out of the ashes like the little alien orphan Chewbacca did. But he didn't. Mr Skywalker have his life so the little alien Wookiee orphan could live.
Just when the bad guys were about to leave, an Angel appeared before everyone and said "Mr Skywalker has Died. He loved God and Jesus and so will join them in heaven on this very day."
A light came down from heaven on the ashes of the church. All watched with amazement as Mr Skywalkers body lifted in the air up into the clouds to be with Jesus. And then the angel turned to the bad guys and said, "What you did today was not right. Because you did bad thing to the Lord, he will take away your sight until you say God is the Lord." They laughed at him and said "God can't do that to us, because we don't know God. We worship the great slug god Garghle the Great Hutt just like the mighty Jabba."
"The Jabba is a great fool" the Angel blurted loudly in a booming voice. "You are bad atheists and so God will punish with you with blindness until you say He is God!"
"Never! We will never!" Said the evil people with snickers and evil baboon-like laughs!
And so, then, all the bad aliens went blind, just as the Angel foretold. They screamed and ran, some crashing into each other. They screamed terrified and went back to Jabba to tell them God made them blind.
Then the Angel turned to Mrs Skywalker and said, "The Lord wants me to tell you it's okay to be a little sad that your husband is gone form you, but remember he is in heaven now with the Lord and Jesus and the Holy Spirit and you will see him again one day."
Mrs Skywalker smiled kindly at the Angel kindly.
"Thank you," she said kindly.
"The Lord also told me to tell you that your son will be a great man one day. A Jedi preacher. He has a heart for the Lord, but he has an itching ear. Don't let him be friends with Atheists and the Sith. He may not resist their temptation to the dark sides! When he trains to be a Jedi, equipped with all the knowledge of the Lord God in High, will he be able to combat the atheist ways of the ancient Sith."
Mrs Skywalker nodded kindly at these words as the Angel flew back up into heaven. Mrs Skywalker quietly put these things away in her heart and meditates on them.
Ever since then, Mrs Skywalker read the Bible to her son Anakin Skywalker every day, twice if he didn't have to work early. He loved stories of Jesus, but also King David, Daniel, and Noah's Ark. Anakin would ask about his dad sometimes and Mrs Skywalker would tell him that his dad was once a great Jedi preacher and that they had come to Sandtooine to be missionaries to the poor aliens and humans that lived there. But because of what Jabba's evil men did, everyone was afraid to be a Jedi Christian and so they stopped going to church. The local schools taught about Ghargle the Hutt, and so Mrs Skywalker would homeschool Anakin before and after he went to work for the day at Mr. Watto's Used Spaceship Shop.
Anakin works hard at the Used Spaceship Shop where he would sweep the sandy floors and clean dust off droids and put batteries in the spaceships. Sometimes he'd work alone while Mr. Watto went to the local bar to drink with the other aliens. While he was alone, Anakin would practice talking to the dories in the shop about the great Jedi Gospel and how Jesus was the ultimate savior form the evil with forces. He prayed that he could go to the Jedi Christian Academy on Corusant where his dad and mom had been taught in the ways of Jedi Christianity. "Lord Father God, I really really REALLy want to be a Jedi pastor like my daddy was before he died. Please make a way for me to go to Corusant and go to the Jedi Christian Academy there." He prayed this while he worked, and every night before he slept, and every morning before he worked.
And God works in mysterious ways...
