AN: Just a strange idea I had after reading the first few drafts for the first Star Wars movie.
The Grandmaster of the New Jedi Order, Luke Skywalker, walked the sands of Tatooine, contemplating recent events that occurred over the past decades. The man who was once a young, powerful Jedi had grown old over the years, and one would tell due to his once dirty blond hair now getting small grays as well as small wrinkles appearing on his face. He wore his outfit which consisted of a black tunic underneath his brown robes with his lightsaber hanging from his black belt around his waist. 'So it has led to this, huh?' Luke thought to himself as he recounted the events after his last duel with Darth Vader.
Many things had happened to the Jedi Master after the destruction of the Second Death Star. The Rebel Alliance established the New Republic, while Luke rebuilt the Jedi Order, recruited tons of Jedi to the academy on Yavin IV, including Leia and Han's three children, the twins Jacen and Jaina, and Anakin. Unfortunately, the New Republic was destroyed when Corusant was taken by the Yuuzhan Vong, extra-galactic beings who sought to spread their empire. Only by aligning themselves with Imperial forces were they able to defeat the Vong, and established the Galactic Alliance.
However, peace was not to last as Jacen Solo fell to the Dark Side and became the Sith Lord Darth Caedus. Luke's wife, Jedi Master Mara Jade Skywalker, tried to stop him only to be killed, and Caedus continued to commit multiple atrocities until he was killed by sister, Jaina. Despite Caedus' death, the Chief of State and former admiral of the Imperial Navy, Daala, accused the Jedi of Jacen's fall and things would only get worse as multiple Jedi began to experience a mental disease. Luke was exiled from Corusant and prevented to come near any Jedi facility, but he was offered the chance to prove the Jedi were innocent behind Jacen's fall.
Along with his son, Ben, Luke traveled the galaxy in search for the reason why Jacen became Darth Caedus, but they had little success. He would find dead ends upon dead ends, and there were even times where Luke had almost given hope. To clear his mind, Luke went back to the planet he lived for the first two decades of his life: Tatooine. Sure the planet was a complete desert, but it was the only place Luke could think of at the moment.
The Jedi Master's thoughts were interrupted when Luke felt a warning in the Force. A warning that made Luke activate his lightsaber and raised it...
ZOOM!
… in time to block the blue blade of another lightsaber. Luke moved his eyes towards his attacker. 'Who is he?' he thought.
His attacker was male, don in full white and blue armor. He had a white flat chest plate with a blue strip in the middle as well as white box shaped shoulder guards, boots, and gauntlets. His upper arms and legs were covered were covered in blue. He wore a helmet similar to a Mandalorian's but it had a thick T-shaped visor with a golden V-shaped horn above it. He wore a white metallic belt with a blue gem in the diamond shaped buckle. He had white fabric extending from his belt to his knees. What surprised Luke the most was that the figure's lightsaber looked identical to his old lightsaber that he had before his duel with Darth Vader on Bespin.
Luke noticed the figure simply stared at him for a moment, and Luke concentrated on the figure as the Jedi Master used the Force to push his attacker back. The figure caught himself and raised his blue lightsaber, preparing for Luke's next move. Luke too raised his green lightsaber in front of himself, preparing himself for the duel between him and his attacker. The two slowly circled each other, and as they did, Luke noticed how similar the figure's stance was to his, but he ignored it as he focused more on his attacker.
Charging at the figure with his green lightsaber, Luke swung at him only for it to be blocked by the figure's blue lightsaber. Luke used this chance to swing his lightsaber at the figure only for him to parry it. The figure swung his blue blade at Luke, who brought his own green lightsaber forward in time to block the swing. The figure wasn't done as he swung his lightsaber at Luke's feet, which the Jedi Master blocked by bringing his lightsaber down in time before quickly raising it to block another slash.
The figure continued his assault on the Jedi Master as he lunged towards Luke, who swatted away the figure's blue lightsaber with his green blade. Luke then swung his lightsaber downward on the figure, which would have him if the figure did not raise his red lightsaber in time. The two pressed their lightsaber blades against one another, one trying to overcome the other.
The figure slashed his blue lightsaber blade against Luke's green blade before he retaliated with a slash to the figure's head, but Luke's attacker raised his blue blade to block it. Quickly avoiding a slash from Luke, the figure then came back with a slash at Luke which the Jedi Master was fortunate to dodge before he parried another slash. Seeing how the figure had the strength and skill, Luke used the Force to leap from his attacker and land at the other end of the room. The figure looked at the Jedi Master with his face concealed by his helmet, while Luke kept his two hands on his lightsaber handle.
Instead of charging, the figure instead circled around Luke, his hand tightly gripping his lightsaber handle, while his opponent kept his eyes focused on the figure. Moments passed, but it felt like an eternity as one waited for the other to strike. As he kept his eyes fixated on the the figure, Luke could not help but notice that the figure was holding back. As to why the figure would do that, the answer came to Luke automatically. 'He's testing me,' Luke realized. 'He attacked me to test my skill.'
Through the Force, the figure could sense Luke's realization, which he saw as an opportunity as he lunged forward to stab his blue blade at Luke. The Jedi Master was able to parry the figure's blade away from him, leaving the figure's neck wide open. Using the Force to increase his speed, the Jedi Master swung his lightsaber at the figure's neck, but stopped when it was only millimeters away from reaching its target. The figure stared at Luke, who could sense the figure's surprise and awe at the Jedi Master's skill, but ignored as he began to question the figure. "Alright, who are you?" Luke inquired. "Why are you testing me?"
The figure let out a soft chuckle as he deactivated his lightsaber and hooked it to his metallic belt. "To answer your questions in order, you can call me Starkiller," the figure introduced himself. "And second, I wanted to see if you were powerful enough to help me."
"Help you?" Luke quirked an eyebrow as he sheathed his own lightsaber.
Starkiller sighed. "Perhaps it would be easier if I showed you who I really am."
Backing away, the figure, identified as Starkiller, reached down to the gem in the center of his buckle before removing it. A bright flash of silver energy covered Starkiller's body, causing Luke to squint his eyes to not be blinded by the light. When the light died down, the Jedi Master's eyes widen in shock to see the real identity of this 'Starkiller' fellow only to see he was a younger version of himself. This 'Starkiller' wore the type brown Jedi robes over his body, yet the belt still remained as did the gem that was in his hand. 'Starkiller' looked at Luke and reintroduced himself, "My name is Luke Starkiller and I need your help."
Luke just stared at the younger man who looked like him. "For what?" he asked, but he felt uneasy that this 'Luke Starkiller' looked so much like him. In Luke's head, there were dozens upon dozens of possibilities explaining the Luke twin in front of himself.
"To simply put it, the galaxy's going to be invaded by people from my dimension," Luke Starkiller answered.
And strangely enough, that had been one of them.
After Starkiller revealed his identity to Luke, the Jedi Master brought him to the Jade Shadow, the ship that once belonged to his wife. It was also where Luke's son, Ben, was staying to guard the ship from any thieves or bandits. Luke brought dimensional counterpart aboard the Jade Shadow, shocking Ben to see there was someone who looked identical to his dad. "This is going to take some time getting used to," Ben stated as he sat in the Jade Shadow's cockpit with his dad and the other Luke, who preferred to be called Starkiller.
The son of Mara and Luke Skywalker was about sixteen with red hair he gained from his mother, yet his face looked very similar to his father. He wore the typical Jedi robes that every Jedi wore. Looking at Starkiller, Ben asked. "So, you're from another dimension?"
"Yeah, I am," Starkiller nodded.
Before Ben could ask anymore questions, his father intervened, asking, "Just who are these invaders? Why do they want to take over our galaxy?"
"Alright, but I'm first going to have to explain my universe,," Starkiller sighed. "In my dimension, there was a man long ago named the Skywalker, discovered an energy field that could influence the destiny of other beings. This is what he called the Force of Others, or the Force in short."
"So it's like ours?" Ben inquired.
Starkiller looked at him. "Sort of. The Force in my universe is an actually living entity which is split into two: the light, or Ashla, and the dark, Bogan. Both sides can affect the will of any being and only those with strong wills can fight it."
"So, it's a test of wills, then," Luke deduced, receiving a nod from Starkiller.
"Anyway, the Skywalker gained incredible powers and became one of the founders of the Republic Galactica, my version of the Galactic Republic. The Skywalker passed his knowledge onto his family and his grandchildren formed the Jedi Bendu of Ashla. The Jedi Bendu learned the ways of the Ashla and like your Jedi, became the guardians of peace and justice as the Republic spread across the galaxy."
Though this did seem impressive and all, Luke and Ben could notice there was something a bit ominous in Starkiller's voice. "But something happened, didn't it?" Ben said.
"Yes. A Jedi named Seig Darklighter fell to the Bogan and he formed the Black Knights of the Sith." Starkiller noticed the two Skywalkers froze in fear at that name. "I see that the Sith are infamous here as well."
Luke nodded. "More than you know."
Starkiller nodded back before continuing. "Anyway, the Senate soon became under the control of slave traders and guilds. The Jedi were accused as traitors and many were executed, while the rest fled into what you call the Outer Rim Systems. The Republic Galatica eventually turned into the first Galactic Empire, which ruled for nearly 100 years."
"What of the Sith?" Ben asked.
"They became the enforcers and personal bodyguards of the Emperor. They spread throughout the systems, strengthening the Bogan's influence. Fortunately, a Jedi named the Starkiller, my father, led the Rebel Alliance against the Empire. My brother, Deak, was captured by the Empire, but I rescued him with the help of Han Solo and Chewbacca. We joined with the Rebel Alliance, and my father trained me to be a Jedi. In time, we defeated the Empire, and the Galactic Alliance was formed, but the Sith still exist."
"They seemed to do the same thing in our universe," Luke stated.
"Indeed," Starkiller nodded at that. "The Sith have learned ways of using the Bogan to enter into other dimensions and they plan to start with this one. If they succeed, then there's no telling what they will do next."
It did explain Starkiller's mission, but there was still one question left in Luke' head. "But what about that armor of yours?"
"The Sith learned ways of making themselves even more powerful so they could conquer other universes. However, I've learned a way to fight back." With that Starkiller held out the blue diamond crystal in his hand. "This is the Kiber Crystal, a gem which can allow on to intensify the Ashla or the Bogan, depending on the user. I found out that I could use it to make a suit of armor and increase my strength to fight the Sith."
After listening to Starkiller's explanation, Luke's head found itself pondering as what to do, as of now. If what Starkiller said was true, then the galaxy would be facing Sith from another dimension, whose powers could possibly overcome the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi Order. Without Starkiller's help, they probably would not last that long. "Well?" Starkiller asked. "Will you help me?"
Looking up at Starkiller, Luke came to his decision. "We'll help you."
AN: And that's it! Please leave your comments in the reviews, and if you have any criticism, please let it be constructive! Also, this idea is up for adoption!
Basically for this story, there is an alternate universe that's based on the earlier drafts for the first Star Wars movie. There, that version of Luke form his own henshin belt to become a Kamen Rider. The Sith in that universe have discovered to travel to other universes and begin with the Star Wars universe that we all know (and somewhat love). So both versions of Luke team up to defeat this new Sith threat from another dimension.
Strange, yes. Insane, oh yes! But then again, this is a guy who like to do lots of weird ideas and delve into stories that people haven't really tried before.
Anyway, I hope you like and please leave a review. Thank you.
Raika out!
