the medieval fantasy star wars au nobody asked for
Alright guys, settle down because this is gonna be a long ride. The idea came to me when simultaneously backreading the wonderful mess that is the Canon SW discord server and scrolling through fantasy art on pinterest. My brain went “Luke and Leia would be the cutest mage-knights on the continent” and “darth vader is a fallen paladin” and “Aphra is a rogue artificer” and yeah, it devolved from here.
What I ended up with is Star Wars characters and lore set in an universe heavily inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, Dragon Age and Lord of the Rings, Arthurian Legends, Skyrim, Game of Thrones and -i kid you not- Naruto. No knowledge of any of these fandoms is needed, since I’m planning to write this for people only familiar with Star Wars. While this AU has a lot of elements from various fandoms, it’s ultimately an AU and not a crossover (or multi-cross).
I’m calling it MF!Star Wars or MFSW for short, AKA Medieval Fantasy SW. (or MotherFucking Sad Wimp, which is an apt description of Darth Vader imho)
I don’t mind people expanding on this (in fact, i’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts) but the fic i’m going to write is Luke-centric. It’s also kind of a rewrite of the original movies but i’m definitely doing a hell of a lot of canon divergence.
