Summary
Average Ch Length: 10 - 20 mns
When Shmi gives them a chance to save the galaxy before the Empire rises, Luke and Leia don't hesitate to take it. Posing as Anakin Skywalker's unknown older siblings probably wasn't a necessary part of the mission, but there's no reason not to have a little fun with things in the name of fixing what the Sith broke.

Summary
Vader quickly composed himself, the Force pulsating in tandem with his ragged breaths. Next, he would liberate the slaves of Mos Espa, and they would storm the palaces of the Hutt crime lords Gardulla and Jabba. They would burn those disgusting hovels to the ground, and he would personally dispatch Gardulla and Jabba himself. Not just for the crime of slavery—he had never forgotten the burning lashes of Gardulla’s whippings, or Jabba’s violation of his precious daughter. He would deliver retribution tenfold, and those beasts would die screaming.
-
Vader dies and wakes up once more as Anakin Skywalker. He has a destiny, sure, and a Sith lord to kill--again--but more importantly, slavers to butcher and slaves to free. He starts with Tatooine, but it doesn't end there. Padmé and Obi-Wan get swept up along the way.

Summary
Obi-Wan Kenobi chooses to truly leave the Jedi Order after he has been brought back to Coruscant from Melida/Daan. The cold, uncertain reception he finds in the Coruscanti temple is simply too horrible to bear, after the year-long warfare he endured. He has not been reinstated as Qui-Gon Jinn’s padawan yet, anyway, and still without a lightsabre.
But, somehow, through a more winding path, he still ends up a Jedi.
A Mandalorian Jedi, to be exact.

Summary
He heard Satine gasp, and she shot forward in the air. Time slowed to a crawl as he saw Maul raise the darksaber.
In this moment, many things happened at once. Maul grinned widely. Satine's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open in shock and fear. The force screamed bloody murder at Obi-Wan, pleading, begging him to act. Obi-Wan reached for his love.
A blood-curdling scream echoed from beyond the throne room. "NO!" Shattered glass suddenly showered the throne room.
And all hell broke loose.

Summary

Through the years and throughout the Galaxy, time and time again the ideals of the Jedi Order are pressured until it implodes.
Dates range from 36 BBY to 19 BBY. Not everything is canon or legends compliant. Clone wars plot puts more time between episodes. Most of this was drafted when the prequels were first released.

Summary
“I get that you're difficult by nature,” Akuna says, sliding down the wall to sit on the floor of Cal's cell next to him like they're not interrogator and prisoner, but just casual acquaintances hanging out. He cracks open his own bottle of water and takes a sip, then continues, “or Lank wouldn't be losing more of his hair trying to break you. But when I tell you to drink, you gotta drink, Kestis.”
Cal snorts. “What,” he croaks, “I have to get better so you can be the one to break me instead?”
Akuna pauses for a moment, then shrugs and nods. “Pretty much.”
-
Cal’s been stuck in ISB custody for a while now and he refuses to give them any information on Cere's location. Agent Akuna’s been tasked with fixing that.

Summary
Five years after the Purge, fugitive padawan Cal Kestis has been keeping his head down as a scrapper on Bracca, eking out a lonely existence undercover. By a trick of the fates, (or the meddling of the Force) he becomes acquainted with Jagannath, a mysterious Zabrak on the run from the Empire, who may or may not be Darth Maul under another name.
When a workplace accident blows his cover, Cal escapes Bracca with the help of this reluctant ally, discovering the ex-Sith’s true identity in the process. Rescued by a pair of freedom fighters, Cal is quickly roped into an elaborate plan to restore the Jedi Order, dragging an unwilling Maul along for the ride. What follows is a quest of epic proportions, taking the motley, squabbling crew clear across the galaxy as they work to acquire a Jedi holocron containing crucial information, running up against Inquisitors, crime syndicates, reanimated corpses, ornery wildlife, and some very questionable meatloaf along the way.
As the Force sits back with a bowl of popcorn to watch the ensuing madness, it is painfully clear that the course of galactic history will never be the same again.
