His Name is Skywalker

Author: LVB

Summary: Vader learns the name of his new adversary. Spoiler (but if you're reading fanfic you'd most likely know this anyway lol)

Disclaimer: Star Wars belongs to George Lucas.

A/N: Yes, I know I've probably done Anakin/Vader to death in all my viggies. But there's so much opportunity! This is ultra-short but hey, that's why it's called a Shortfic!


That boy – he has destroyed the Death Star. I had been waiting for the better part of twenty years to see that weapon built. I stood and watched it for the first time after I got my armour, proud of what we were to make. I stood beside my Master.

And now, it is gone.

I will kill him.

The boy has a strong Force signature, there is no doubt about that. My Master has felt him in the Force. There is something unique but very familiar about him. He managed to destroy the ultimate weapon nearly single-handedly.

That is no small feat. He has the potential to become very powerful.

Yet I feel an empty place in that boy. A void that leaves him vulnerable.

Yes, it is the opening to the Darkside.

I will kill that boy.

If I do not, he won't be a Jedi for long.

He is mine.

Wait – what was his name?

Skywalker.

His name is Skywalker!
