A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

LANTERN WARS

A Star Wars/Green Lantern Crossover


The Guardians of the Universe have just harnessed the power of the Green Light of Will, creating the great Central Battery through which they can tap its unfathomable energy. They prepare to select their first warrior, to present him with the first Green Lantern Ring, when the ring flies off at enormous speeds to a galaxy farther off in the universe than they had ever before gone. When they arrive in the galaxy the ring had flown to, what they find shocks their understanding of the cosmos.

For they have stumbled upon the great Galactic Republic, a civilization that has existed since before anything the ancient guardians ever expected. What is more, it is a galaxy where there are beings who have long been able to tap into the the primal forces of the universe without the need of an intermediary.

Here, the Guardians of the Universe marvel at the power of this universe's concept of the Force, a philosophy that unknowingly has divided the White Light of Creation into two halves, a Light Side consisting of the Indigo Light of Compassion, the Blue Light of Hope, and the Violet Light of Love and a Dark Side, consisting of the Orange Light of Avarice, the Red Light of Rage, and the Yellow Light of Fear. Both sides of the Force, Light and Dark, are accessed through the medium of the Green Light of Will.

No sooner do the Guardians of the Galaxy discover this new world than they are faced with a great dilemma: Do they champion the Jedi, the Sith, or create their own Order, a new Order they will use to bring peace and order to the galaxy? Most of the Guardians favor working through the Jedi, while a few would prefer to create their own Corps. And there is one who feels that is through the power of 'Fear and the Dark Side that true peace can be achieved.

The battle for control of the Star Wars galaxy is just the beginning. For there is much the Guardians have to teach the users of the Force, and lessons that they will all soon learn.


Rules:

1. The Force is a philosophical composite of the emotional spectrum, not a separate power. Force-sensitive beings use their will to access different Force powers directly, without need of a ring or power battery.

2. Force users more in-tune with specific emotions (love, hate, fear, compassion) have more talent in using Force powers related to those particular emotions.

3. Force users are limited in how they can use their powers to what has been shown in the Star Wars universe because of a lack of understanding of some aspects of the power they wield, not because they lack the capacity. The Guardians of the Universe possess an understanding of those powers.

4. A Jedi or Sith given a power ring will have the full power of that ring, as well as great enhancement to Force powers related to that emotion.

5. At least one Guardian will attempt to lead the Jedi. At least one will be corrupted by the Dark Side and join the Sith.

The story can be set at any time in the Star Wars Universe: Old Republic, Empire, New Republic, Sith Empire, etc.

It can use any Star Wars characters from the books, movies, games, etc. The Green Lantern characters should be limited to the Guardians and possibly the emotional entities.
