Star Wars Time Travel AU #22: INFODUMP AU
au where obi-wan is meditating and connects with his future self who is also meditating
at first they’re just vibing, open to whatever lesson the force is trying to impart with this vision.
both kind-of fading in and out, no idea how long this will last
at some point Ben is like…wait are you real? Like an actual, younger version of myself who can react to the info i give you?
Obi: “I…suppose so? I assume you can’t tell me any details about the future for fear of altering the timeline irrevoc-”
“PALPATINE’S A SITH LORD”
“THE CLONES HAVE CHIPS IN THEIR HEADS THAT WILL MAKE THEM KILL ALL THE JEDI”
“I’m sorry the what have what in their heads and what do you mean ALL the Jedi?”
“Kriff, you haven’t met the clones yet- ok, there’s a jedi commissioned clone army on Kamino, they’re really good guys but you’ve gotta do something about the chips in their head. Theres’s also a trade federation droid army on genosis. It’s all part of Palpatine’s scheme to create a sith empire. Both of them are being funded through Dooku-”
“Dooku? You mean Master Dooku?”
“DOOKU’S A SITH LORD TOO! He has an apprentice, Ventress- absolutely terrifying but she can be reasoned with, and OH SHIT MAUL, MAUL’S STILL ALIVE”
“Oh right you don’t…the Zabrak! The one who killed Qui-Gon! He’s still alive, he’s totally insane, and he will come back for revenge.”
“I-ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I literally chopped him in half! AND he fell into a melting pit!”
“I know, right? Sith are REALLY hard to kill, they can stay alive on spite, i think. He’s on a garbage planet somewhere in the outer rim. He kills Satine and takes over Mandalore just to get back at me.”
“DON’T FAKE YOUR DEATH ANAKIN CAN NOT HANDLE IT.”
“Ashoka didn’t bomb the temple! It was Barriss!”
“Nevermind, probably won’t matter. Anyway. Uh. Speaking of Sith’s being hard to kill- i really, really hope it won’t come to this but if you ever end up having to fight Anakin to the death on a lava planet-”
“Nope. No. I don’t want to hear it.”
“Just. You might think that cutting off all of someone’s limbs while they catch on fire-”
“WHAT IN THE SITH HELLS IS WRONG WITH YOU?”
“A LOT OF THINGS! THE FUTURE IS TERRIBLE! I LIVE ON TATOOINE!”
“It’s the last place that- oh- SHMI! YOU HAVE TO SAVE ANAKIN’S MOM! It’s partially our fault she died and I’m 90% sure that’s one of things that led to his fall!”
“Well, all those meetings with Palpatine probably didn’t help-”
“Oh force I left a child alone with a Sith Lord. I’M A TERRIBLE MASTER”
“THAT REMINDS ME! YOU HAVE TO TELL ANAKIN YOU LOVE HIM, RIGHT AWAY!”
“Well, I’m sure he already knows…”
“yeah, NOT so sure about that. TELL HIM. WITH WORDS.”
“Fuck. Right, of course-”
“GIVE HIM A HUG BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE”
