Anyhoo, Luke here, with my latest plot bantha. Yes, bantha. It's too big to be a bunny.
Now, this is going to be a Yu-Gi-Oh/ Star Wars crossover. I'm putting it in Yu-Gi-Oh! because I think that there is a greater percentage of Yu-Gi-Oh! fans who know anything about Star Wars than there are Star Wars fans who know anything about Yu-Gi-Oh! So it'll make more sense to the average Yu-Gi-OH! fan.
BEWARE: This is 1) going to be a series and 2) going to be YAOI. SLASH. MALE/MALE. So if that's not your cup of cocoa, then don't read. However, I do not plan to include any sex scenes.
PG-13 for violence and a just-in-case situation if I DO change my mind and include sex.
By the way, there will not be any relationships between a Yu-Gi-Oh! character and a Star Wars character.
Also, this will NOT include very much from the EU (Expanded Universe). I will yoink a few characters and plot devices, but it will not follow the EU.
And I am only going to use storyline from the manga, therefore excluding the Doma/Orichalcos saga, KC Grand Prix, etc.
DISCLAIMER: Do I own either Star Wars or Yu-Gi-Oh? No. If I owned either, I'd be damn rich. If I owned both, whooey, that'd be a heavy chunk of the media industry. I don't own either, though. Too bad for me. Maybe for some of you, it's good.
SUMMARY: Mutou Yugi has to deal with a new life as the apprentice of Luke Skywalker, while trying to cope with the loss of the Pharaoh and his own dark tendencies, when a new enemy- and an old enigma- arise.

EPISODE I
A SHADOWED PAST
It is a time of reconstruction. The New Republic, under the leadership of the new Chief of State LEIA ORGANA-SOLO, is still trying to stamp out the remains of an increasingly desperate Empire.
The JEDI ORDER, re-founded by LUKE SKYWALKER, is also growing. Jedi Padawan MUTOU YUGI, from the planet EARTH, is considered to be the greatest hope for a new generation of peacekeepers.
However, the Empire, in dire need of a rallying point, has been conducting illegal experiments in cloning which, if successful, may bring about the creation of a dangerous new Sith Lord. . .
Space. The home of eternal darkness, like the heart of the purest Sith. Grand Admiral Thrawn knew much about the mighty Sith, but he was of the opinion that one could never know too much about one's allies, particularly when they were of the dangerous sort.
At the present time, the Chiss strategist was spending his time contemplating a 3000-pre-Empire sculpture from the planet Korriban. Simple, elegant lines formed the angular figure of a feline approximately 1.5 meters tall. Red gemstone eyes- most likely garnet- shone darkly from black clay and solid gold. Most humans would find red eyes repulsive, Thrawn mused, but as a Chiss, he found them only natural.
The Sith had been destroyed around eight years earlier, by the very son of Lord Vader. Oddly, Thrawn had never come across any art created by Vader- unless one called starcraft blueprints art. Even Palpatine had "dabbled" in painting in his past- every Sith document seemed to state that artistic talent was encouraged. Creation required destruction, and the Sith worshipped change and destruction almost as much as their Dark Side. More things to reflect upon, Thrawn supposed.
He heard the hiss of an opening door, and turned to find his second-in-command, Captain Pellaeon, waiting respectfully for acknowledgement.
"What do you think, Captain? Thrawn asked, gesturing to the cat sculpture.
Approaching, Pellaeon regarded the work cautiously. "I would venture to state that it is a few millenia old, most likely Sith, created by either a female or a Cathar."
With an approving nod, Thrawn explained, "Dara Basta, the only known female alien Sith, who mysteriously disappeared soon after finishing this piece. According to legend, she left the galaxy in pursuit of those 'more appreciative of darkness.' I am surprised that you succeded in analyzing the sculpture so well."
"I was stationed on Morbia for a few years early in my career, and grew to know Cathar art well. However, I do have important news. It seems the strike team deployed to Yavin IV to gather the sample succeeded. By a 'midi-chlorien' count, the blond hair they retrieved would seem to belong to Skywalker. Should I give the go-ahead to the cloning facility?"
With a nod, Thrawn bent to examine the sculpture more closely. "I wonder what these inscriptions say. On your way to the cloners, would you send up a translator droid?"
