The Jedi King

Chapter I

The sun was just rising over Naboo, although the streets of Theed were already crowded with people. Beings from all over the galaxy came to the new capital for one purpose- to be one of the first to see the new prince.

The King's advisor, C3PO, was walking around the palace courtyard, just to make sure that everyone invited was in attendance. He then walked up the palace steps, and up to a young man. The man had thick brownish-blond hair, and vivid blue eyes. He wore well-made robes- the mark of a Jedi King.

"Master Anakin," C3PO greeted the king. "Everyone has arrived, and Yoda is on his way here. The royal family from Alderaan is here, and Tatooine, and Yavin-"

"That will do, 3PO." Anakin said.

A few minutes later, a small creature with green skin and big ears made his way up the palace steps with its cane. Anakin smiled and greeted his visitor with a hug.

"I'm glad to see you made the trip well, Master Yoda," he said.

"Good to see you again, it is, your Majesty." Yoda replied. "Where is the young prince?"

Anakin brought Yoda into the palace's throne room. Sitting in a chair was Anakin's queen, Padme. In her arms were a small bundle of blankets. Anakin kissed his wife's forehead as Yoda came up to them. The small creature peered into the bundle, and a small pink face stared back at him.

"Our son, Luke." Padme said proudly.

Yoda smiled at the baby. "Give you, I will, the blessing of the Jedi." He said to the child.

He stuck his hand in a pocket in his robes, and pulled out a piece of fruit. He cut the fruit open with a claw, and smeared Luke's forehead with the flesh. Next, he got out a vial of dust, and sprinkled it on the child. He sneezed, and everyone laughed.

Then Yoda took the child from Padme's arms, and took him to the palace entrance. Anakin and Padme followed, and stood behind the creature. In front of the crowd, Yoda lifted the child above his head for everyone to see. The entire crowd cheered with delight.

Then there was a break in the clouds, and a beam of sunlight shined on the baby. At this moment, everyone bowed to their future leader… Prince Luke.

Later that day, C3PO went down to the lowest level of the Theed Palace, which most would consider a dungeon. This was the home of the king's brother, Palpatine. This man almost destroyed the galaxy and turned Anakin to the Dark Side… until he revealed that he had the same father as the King. Anakin made him give up the role of Supreme Chancellor, and the title Jedi King was later made.

On this afternoon, C3PO walked into Palpatine's underground suite to find him playing with… a steak. A medium rare T-bone, actually.

"Life's not fair, is it?" Palpy whined to the meat. "If only I never said anything… then we would have had power over the entire galaxy… but no. I shall never be king… and you shall never see another dinner table ever again. Adieu."

Palpy was just about to put the steak in his mouth, when C3PO interrupted. "Uh… pardon me, Master Palpatine, but… I don't think it's quite right to play with one's food."

C3PO had startled the old man, and he dropped the steak on the floor.

"You just made me lose my lunch!" Palpy yelled at the droid.

"Apologies sir, but… King Anakin is coming to visit." C3PO finished quickly, trying to avoid punishment from Palpy.

"Oh, how exciting!" Palpatine exclaimed, not sounding excited at all.

"Not really… he's wondering why you weren't at the ceremony." The droid told him.

"Oh, I'm so scared… especially when I have this!" He pulled a device from his pocket.

"A detonator!" C3PO gasped. "Now sir… is this really necessary? HELP!"

"Palpatine!" a voice shouted. "Leave him alone!"

C3PO and Palpatine looked toward the dungeon entrance, where Anakin stood. Palpatine quickly put the detonator in his pocket and greeted his half-brother.

"Why, isn't it King Ani, coming here to mingle with his citizens!" Palpatine exclaimed.

Anakin was not amused. "Padme and I didn't see you at the presentation of Luke."

"That was today?" Palpatine gasped, breaking into a fake sob. "Oh, I feel so awful! I must be getting old…"

"That's no excuse!" C3PO blurted, in one of his rare outbursts. "After all, you've admitted that you're the king's brother! You should have been first in line!"

"I was first in line… until that little brat was born." Palpatine growled.

"That 'brat' is my son, and your future king!" Anakin snapped.

Palpatine ignored him and headed towards the door.

"Don't turn your back on me, Palpatine!" Anakin shouted.

"Oh no, Anakin, maybe you shouldn't turn your back on me." Palpatine mumbled.

At this statement, Anakin flipped over Palpatine and landed in front of him, with a blue lightsaber ignited.

"Is that a challenge?" the king demanded.

"Of course not." His brother replied. "I wouldn't dare kill a family member, now would I?"

With that, Palpatine fled up the dungeon steps. Anakin watched him go, sighing. "What am I going to do with him?"

Well, there's chapter 1! I know it follows the actual Lion King storyline pretty well. In case you wanted to know, I'm mostly following the Lion King storybook back from 1994. I may also add some parts from the Broadway musical too. Read and review, please!
