Star Wars Chapter 2: Spoilers for the Sith

Having made it clear to his royal guards that he was left to be undisturbed for the next hour, and feeling the need to adopt the kind grandfatherly persona that had successfully managed to chip away at Skywalker's resolve until Vader was ready to emerge, Sidious motioned for the unexpected, but nonetheless now welcome boy to sit in one of the chairs while he did the same in his newly installed throne.

"I must admit boy. You managed to surprise me. Not an impossible feat given my abilities, but still difficult even for the most outstanding individuals in the galaxy. I hope for your sake, that the trend will continue. But enough about that. I trust you can expand upon the information you've given me so far? Information is only valuable if I can actually use it to my advantage, not simply speculate the specifics of what you've told me".

Nodding his head with slightly less enthusiasm than he did before, though the emperor could not tell whether this was because of the threatening undertone of his otherwise welcoming persona or if their was some other underlining cause, the strange boy nevertheless proved willing to divulge what he knew to the Sith master.

"Well first off, you should know that I come from a reality where this universe is a work of fiction. Jedi, Sith, hell even Gungans, are the work of a mov...sorry holo vid director who came up with these ideas in order to entertain people. Which means that while I don't have any physical proof of what I'm saying...if I was to provide you, the one man in the galaxy with the resources to do so, with names, locations, various ideas that only failed due to some gross over sight, then you would be the only one to benefit this".

Though he was somewhat shocked at discovery that their were other realities, let alone ones where his universe was simply the bed time stories used to entertain the masses, Sidious couldnt help but smirk at the boy's reasoning, for he too had determined that the boy's primary value was his head. And while he had a past history of disposing of servants that no longer had a place in his grand desgins, espically those who could pose a threat to him, the Emperor could clearly feel the loyatly the boy felt to either himself or the Empire he had just created, and if his power's of deduction werent failing him, a hidden distaste for those who would threaten all he had built.

"A fair answer boy. Perhaps you want to elaborate on one of the pieces of information then. Lets start with the late senator. What happened after Lord Vader dealt her the mortal blow? And who else knows that her child...no you said children live? And for that matter, what are the allies of Admidala planning to do with the children"?

Taking a moment to build his confidence, since it was one thing to imagine speaking to a powerful force user, another when you actually got the chance to do so, the t shirt wearing boy quickly moved to answer the Sith Lord's question lest he end up like Luke Skywalker after he refused to join.

"Well, after Vader and Obiwan Kenobi went off to have their epic duel, the protocol droid C3PO, and the astromech R2D2 brought her back on board her ship. Which Obi-wan used to bring them to a some secret facility at Polis Massa were he met up with Jedi Master Yoda and the one who rescued him from Corucsaunt after your duel. Their she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. After she named them, she told Kenobi that pieces of Anakin Skywalker still existed in Darth Vader, and then she died. After that, the Jedi decided to split the children up, something about them being able to better hide them when their apart until the time was right to over throw you, which they manage to do in 24 to 25 years. As to those Jedi who know about children, only Obi-Wan, and Yoda know, and they give the girl to Bail Organna to raise, while the boy is taken to Tatooine to be raised by Anakins step brother and aunt, all the while being protected by Obi-wan".

Pushing his fingers together as he contemplated this knowledge, and hiding his anger at the fact that he felt no falsehoods from the boy when he talked about his future overthrow, the Sith Lord asked the expectant looking boy a question that was barely managed to conceal his confusion at what he had been told.

"You said the right time to overthrow me. Does that mean they'll be trained as Jedi before they come to overthrow me? Or will the Jedi wait until they are the same age as their father was when they started training"?

Snorting at this question, though Sidious could tell it had more to do with the information rather than his question, the boy proceeded to tell the Sith Lord the information he wanted.

"Hardly. The boy doesnt even learn that his father was a Jedi until he's 19 years old. And even when he learns that he can use the force, Kenobi's only able to train him for a day or two before Vader kills his former master on the FIRST Death Star. And after that, Luke spends 3 years learning by himself before he trains with Yoda for about a week or 2. The girl though is different. She becomes heavily involved in the rebellion her foster father sets up, though for the longest time she's able to avoid detection. But after the Empire destroys Alderan, she devotes herself fully to the rebellion with the same energy her mother put into trying to find peaceful solutions to the war".

Allowing himself to experience a brief moment of satisfaction as he reveled in the permanent disappearance of that annoying bog witch from his life, not to mention the amusing prospect of permanently extinguishing a world that had always served as source of support for the Jedi during their wars against the Sith, Sidious processed what he had been told with an incredulous expression.

'19. Despite the issues they had with Skywalker's age, they allow his son to begin training when he's an adult. Perhaps their not as stuck in their ways as I first tho..wait. FIRST DEATH STAR'?

Shooting the boy a look that had never failed to cower his more toadying of servants, Gunray stood at the top of his list, the Sith Lord had to reign in his temper at this piece of news lest he wind up electrocuting, or chocking the only being in the universe who knew the course of this galaxies history.

"What exactly do you mean by first Death Star? I have only ever considered building one super weapon. And I'm certainly not prepared to build a second one when production has barely even begun on the first one".

Adopting a slightly nervous smile, though whether it was because he was afraid of the answer or merely embarrassed about it the Sith Lord couldn't say, the boy told him.

"Well you see, a galaxy wide terrorist organization managed to steal the plans of the death star, forget if it was from an internal supply ship from the Death Star, or from the blue prints from one of the guys who built it, but they discovered a flaw in the design, and Vader's son, despite having only the barest of force training, manages to make an impossible bombing run in his fighter, though this was helped by ghost Kenobi, causing a chain reaction that will inevitably destroy the Death Star".

Deciding to come back at a later point to this topic, since he could clearly see the similarities between this future Jedi and another youthful pilot who was strong with the force, causing him to re-experience the feelings of greed he felt when he discovered a suitable replacement for his first apprentice, the Sith Lord moved on to the next question he had asked, for if he could achieve this desired goal, then a major threat to his power would be removed.

"And what about the location of Master Yoda. Which back water planet has he chosen for his exile"?

More relaxed with this question than the previous one, since he suspected that the Sith Lord would be more pleased to discover where his arch enemy chose to hide rather than hearing about the future destruction of his favorite toys, and seeing a way to further prove his usefulness by also revealing as to what motivated Yoda to choose the swamp planet as his refuge, the fan boy told him.

"He chose the planet Dagobah, in the Dagobah system to spend his exile. Their's no sentient life their, except perhaps the cannibalistic survivors of a Republic survey team though I could be mistaken, but their is a cave that's very strong with the Dark Side, and Yoda uses this to help hide his own force signature. Also, and I think you may find this interesting, Yoda was told about this planet from the Spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn, thus starting Yoda's successful quest to achieve his own brand of immortality, though his method is more about preserving his consciousness after death rather than keeping his body from dying".

Pleased though he was at discovering the hiding place of that little troll, Sidious was unsure whether he should scoff at the Jedi's brand of immortality or be worried about tit. While it was true that many Sith Lords had managed to retain their consciousness after the death of their physical bodies, that method was highly limited due to their spirits being anchored to places that were strong with the dark side, rendering that method useless to those who wanted to continue having an influence on the galaxy.

But if what he was hearing was true, then the Jedi had found a way to move around this limitation, and could in fact manifest on the physical plain anywhere in the galaxy. Not a totally worthless attribute, since it would mean that even if death the Jedi could still influence those who would dare challenge his rule, but as he knew from his own training days, nothing surpasses the ability to learn from a living, breathing teacher.

So consumed by these thoughts, he completely missed what the boy was saying. Putting on an expression that never failed to cow his previous apprentice's into submission, something that Vader and perhaps his offspring would discover in due time, the Emperor silenced the admittedly useful ramblings of the boy with a voice that promised a quick death if he was disobeyed

"What did you just say"?

Blissfully unaware of the Emperor's attempt to cover his own ignorance, not that he would even dare to say or think that the Sith Lord was having a seniors moment, the t-shirt wearing fan coudn't help the grin that was spreading across his face as he told the Sith Lord something that he knew he wanted to hear.

"I said that I know a couple of successful methods in which you can achieve immortality without becoming a ghost".

...

And will leave it here for now.

Thanks to those who've reviewed so far. Helps to inspire me to continue writing lol

And I completing agree with Kondoru's point about the Jedi and the Rebellion. The clone army (while created through the machination's of the Sith) was still created by a Jedi (i.e. Sifo Dyas), and adopted by the Jedi to use as their own forces. In the Clone Wars, you clearly see the snobbish/superior attitude of most Jedi (Mace Windu, Luminara, and to an extent Shaak Tii are prime examples) who act as if that what their doing is right and that any other methods are wrong because it doesnt suit their needs. Hell the Jedi Council is bascially not a group of equals. Its more of a sounding board so that Yoda and Windu can decide which course of action to take. And lets not forget that the Jedi, who publicly state that they value all life, always tried to wipe out the Sith (both Species and Order) from existence cause they believe that it brings balance to the force.

My take has always been, don't you need Darkness to balance the light. Reason the force was so out of balance was because their were thousand's of Jedi, and only 2 Sith. The whole Darkness conceals, but Light Blinds argument lol.

Anakin, and Tarkin (YES i went their) had a point. The Jedi suck as military leaders because they aren't willing to do all that is necessary to achieve victory. I.e. the problem having peace keepers leading military forces.

As for the Rebellion...their made of sanctimonious hypocrites who are trying to restore the galaxy to a state where forces like the Sith, and certain Crminals are able to operate with near impunity. And the methods they used...bombing facilities, making deals with criminals for supplies (thus keeping criminals active despite Imperial crackdowns), stealing weapons and plans, they all put innocent bystanders at risk.

Plus the Death Star was built more for a deterrent (i.e. Tarkin Doctrine of not ruling through force, but rather fear of force) And I point out that even Iron Man (before he gets the suit) says that "They say that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once".

Anyways...hope you enjoy., Please Review..and will update when I can lol
