Disclaimer: Still not mine

I'm trying to find a Star Wars timeline, listing events, character birth, death, etc. all I can find is timelines listing where the movies and books fit, but I want the detail of events in what year. Know of any?

Chapter 9

By the time Luke stumbled from the duelling room his clothes were soaked through with sweat and he was feeling very bruised but his emotions were back under control. He leant against the wall, breathing heavily only to straighten up as he sensed an approaching presence, not his Father. An older, cloaked male walked towards him and then bowed.

"Welcome young Prince, your Quarters have been prepared for you at Lord Vader's order."

"Show me please." He waved the man on and fell into step behind him. "What is your name?"

"Vaneé, My Lord." they entered a new corridor and he opened a door. "These are your quarters, please inform me if anything needs changing."

Luke stepped past him and into the main room, smiling when he saw walls of dark blue and white with comfortable yet elegant furniture. "Thank you, this is perfect." He smiled and Vaneé bowed again before leaving. Luke locked the door and forced himself past the couch and into the bedroom where he stripped and moved into the fresher. Once done he dressed in training clothes, figuring he would be needing them later. He eyed the comm, hesitating. Could he risk it? Would he even answer? After several minutes he finally got up and knelt down, looking over the comm unit and going to work to ensure nothing could intercept his calls. The he entered the code and waited.

Obi-Wan slipped back into his hut and lowered his hood, before removing his cloak and going to make tea. his routine check showed the Lars' living peacefully although they had dimmed with the loss of Luke. Even after eight months no word had reached the planet about the boy and he wasn't sure what to think of that, he knew Luke still lived, their bond was stretched by distance but had not snapped. He nearly jumped as the ships comm unit which he had managed to set up in the hut began to beep. He frowned but then went over and looked at the incoming code, not recognising it but then he felt the Force nudge and so he answered the call, nearly falling back as the small holo formed and then cleared up to reveal a familiar form. "Luke?"

"Ben… I shouldn't have called; I know but I scrambled this so much I didn't know if it'd even go through." He babbled.

"Breath Padawan. It's alright." He soothed even as his heart raced, Luke didn't babble unless severely stressed. He studied the small holo, wishing the colour was better. Luke was dressed casually, training clothes most likely, and his hair was still cropped short. But his face was still open, showing nervousness and emotional pain. "What has happened Luke?" He had called! He had never thought to hear from him again, had prayed Luke would remain the same child and yet despaired over the odds when Faced with Vader and Sidious. Even after only months he had dreaded that the bright boy he knew would have changed, darkened.

"We're at Father's residence…. I saw him out of the suit…I don't understand Ben."

Out of the suite? The poor boy, seeing his father without limbs. "Understand what Luke?"

"How could you do that to him? How…" Luke shook his head ducking it down and Ben flinched slightly before shifting to kneel more comfortably in front of the unit.

"I should have told you all of this before but even thinking of that time is still so painful. I had been sent to Utapau to confront General Grievous so the events on Coruscant I only learned of later, through security recording and through allies. The Chancellor revealed himself as a Sith to your Father who went to the Jedi Council. Mace had always been wary of Anakin and ordered him to remain behind but he disobeyed. Exactly what happened then no one but the Emperor and your Father knows as they were the only survivors. It was then that Order 66 went out and I went on the run. Eventually Master Yoda and I returned to the Temple to find the scene of a massacre. Clone troopers, led by Darth Vader had killed everyone within, even the Younglings." He paused to breath and saw Luke shift, sitting as well, obviously uncomfortable with learning of so many deaths. "Yoda went to confront Sidious, sending me after your Father, my old Padawan. But I did not know where he was so I went to your mother. I hid aboard her ship when she went after him. we landed on Mustafar and I heard them arguing. Padme…she begged him to leave with her, to go far away and be a family but he was lost in madness. I admit, I made a mistake in revealing myself then, unstable your Father…he Force choked Padme. I tried to talk him down but we ended up fighting all over the installation." He had to stop again as he remembered watching his brother choke the woman he had admired a lot for her bravery and willingness to stand up for what she believed in. Luke was utterly silent, hands clenched on his crossed knees. "In the end I had the high ground on a bank and I begged him not to try it, to surrender but he was too lost to madness. He leapt and I struck but somehow, despite how exhausted we both were, he had more height to his jump than I had anticipated. What should have been a killing blow…"

"Removed his limbs." Luke choked out and Obi-Wan nodded sadly.

"He had lost one arm years before, in a duel against Dooku to protect me and stop the man leaving. I took the other three and it broke my heart. I couldn't leave him to burn so I pulled him up the shore and I was getting through to him, I know I was but then soldier showed up and I had a choice, fight them or run and save your Mother and you. I knew Anakin would want you both protected."

"What happened to her?"

"She died after you were born. The medics could find no medical reason. She lived long enough to name you. After that I took you to your Aunt and Uncle." He fell silent, waiting for Luke to absorb it all, unsure how he would react.

Luke frowned as he went over what he had sensed and seen and what Ben had told him and it didn't add up. "Something doesn't add up." He whispered after several minutes of silence.

"Luke?" he was cautiously optimistic at the lack of anger in the boys' voice.

"He was okay when you left? Other than the obvious?"

"He was exhausted but yes."

"Then why are his lung so scarred? He has trouble with trances so I helped ease him into a healing trance and I felt how damaged his body is. So where did that damage come from?"

"He's reliant on the suite then? I admit, it did puzzle me and you are right, the damage had to come from somewhere." He sat back, considering the options and what he knew of the timeline and only one option fit.

"Ben?"

"I believe there is an answer." He admitted and Luke frowned before blue eyes went wide.

"The Emperor…" He whispered and Obi-Wan nodded. "That's…." he turned, glancing at his door as the chime rang. "I've got to go. You're okay though, right?"

Obi-Wan smiled softly. "I am well, as is your family. Be safe my Padawan." The call was cut off and he got to his feet, moving to drink his now cold tea, feeling utter relief to know that so far Luke's light remained undiminished.

Jyn clutched the knife and blaster tightly as she stared out at the setting sun, she didn't like being the only one left behind, she wanted to be out there with Saw, killing Imperials. But he had ordered her to stay and hold the bunker for their return. That had been almost six hours ago and she hadn't seen or heard a sign of them since. No calls on the comm, no flashes of blaster fire, nothing. Had they all been captured or killed? She pulled her coat closer around her as the temperature began to drop before finally moving away from the makeshift window to turn on the heater and prepare something to eat. She would wait until dawn, like Saw had told her too, and pray they came back. What would she do on her own?

Leia smiled as Winter easily outmanoeuvred the young man she'd been talking to until he bowed slightly and moved away. She moved to her friend and foster sisters side and they clasped hands briefly, smiling at each other. It had been a while since they had seen each other since Winter was taking a more active role in the Rebellion while Leia had to remain visible on Alderaan or travelling around with various relief projects. In a way she envied Winter her freedom to act so soon, there wasn't a lot she could do until she took her Father's place in the Senate. And then there would be even more eyes on her. If only the party would end and they could slip away to catch up! She knew the Anniversary of Alderaan's joining the Republic, now Empire, was important but she was growing tired of it.

Vader watched his son as he trained, nodding at his improvement. This was what he had needed to push his skills to the next level. A trip to Ilum would be needed soon. But before then they were being recalled to Coruscant by the Emperor. He was actually surprised they'd been given three months of peace on Mustafar. With his sons help he'd managed a healing trance every time he entered the tank or even slept in his pressurised room and he was feeling stronger than he had since being confined to the suite. He just wasn't sure of that was something his Master should know, what would he do if he knew Luke was able to guide him and aide his healing like that?

Luke ignored his audience, focusing fully on the four droids surrounding him, his training lightsabre held defensively before him as they circled. He knew a lot was riding on this fight. He'd never faced four before, and at such a high level, but the Emperor had commanded it. He opened himself fully to the Force and moved, blocking a blow.

Sidious watched as the boy fought, moving with the same grace he remembered Amidala having. His was too small to have his father's pure power but he may be faster than Skywalker had been even at his peak. His training appeared to be coming along nicely, the closeness he could sense between the two was not as good though. The closer they became the harder it would be to turn them on each other later. Finally, after over an hour of fighting the boy stumbled and fell with a gasp of shock and the droids pounced.

Luke cured defensively, protecting himself as the blows rained down on him. he would not scream; he wouldn't give that fossil the pleasure!

Vader's hand clenched into a fist as his son was beaten by the training droids. He was proud he could take it without crying out but he did not like being helpless to stop the assault.

"Enough." The Emperor deactivated the droids. "A passable attempt boy. You're training is progressing. Lord Vader."

"Yes Master."

"Take him to Ilum, perhaps he will do better with a blade attuned to him."

"As you command." He bowed and moved to Luke's side, pulling him to his feet. Luke stumbled but managed to limp out of the room at his side. They would leave for Ilum immediately, he wanted Luke looked over by medics he trusted.
