FIC PROMPT: Hannibal x Star Wars 1-3 episodes
The idea emerged after we saw these artworks by wonderful orientalld:
At first glance it may seem like an unusual concept, BUT. But we begin to examine it more closely, everything aligns remarkably well. Will Graham grows up on Tatooine, tinkering with machinery and speeders. His only parent is his father; his mother has either died or disappeared. During the course of a mission, Qui-Gon Jinn (we couldn't find a direct analogue, so a general mentor-figure can be used), a young Jack (serving as an analogue to Obi-Wan Kenobi), and a young Alana (an analogue of PadmĂŠ) arrive on the planet.
The events of the first episode unfold â among them Willâs growing affection for Alana. By the end of this arc, Qui-Gon is dead, and Jack vows to take responsibility for Willâs upbringing and train him as a Jedi. In parallel, we observe Hannibal (an analogue of Palpatine) weaving his political intrigues within the Senate. At the conclusion of the first episode, he notices a boy unusually gifted in the Force.
In the second episode, the boy matures into a young man under Jackâs vigilant supervision. Jack teaches him to wield the Force and to trust his intuition. (Perhaps Will is particularly sensitive to the darker aspects of the Force; his condition or disorder might be interpreted through this lens, though the exact approach may be left to the authorâs discretion). Will remains modest and reserved, yet he is a diligent student, and Jack keeps him under strict discipline.
As the story progresses, Will increasingly encounters Hannibal âwhether while guarding Alana or during visits to Coruscant, where Jack introduces him to the senator. Hannibal consistently praises the young man, remarking upon his uniqueness and exceptional talent. He suggests that Will is capable of far more than Jack allows him to realize. However, Hannibal proceeds gently and without overt pressure, gradually planting seeds of doubt regarding the Jedi path.
Meanwhile, Hannibal continues to orchestrate his political schemes. The Clone Wars erupt. Will, Jack, and Alana ultimately defeat Count Dooku (or any suitable "bad-guy" figure drawn from the series, like Mathew or someone else). Whether Will loses his hand in the process is left to the authorâs discretion. Alana refuses to enter into a romantic relationship with Will, and â as in the series â he turns to Senator Lecter to confide his frustrations, perhaps reflecting that he should never have allowed himself to become attached in the first place. Hannibal consoles him in whatever manner seems most fitting. He may continue to advance the notion that attachment is not weakness but strength, and that in moments of hardship or doubt Will can always turn to him, drawing upon their friendship as a source of power.
The third episode is the most densely eventful. Will has grown older, yet he is plagued by nightmares â visions of Jackâs death, Alanaâs death, perhaps even the death of his father. Hannibal announces the transformation of the Republic into an Empire. Will, who has long been inclined toward a similar vision of order and authority, supports him wholeheartedly. Alana attempts to reason with him, but to no avail.
The Jedi Council asks Will to spy on Hannibal, suspecting him of malevolent manipulations. Among the Council members may be Beverly (an analogue of Mace Windu, who from the beginning distrusted Palpatine). Will hesitates, yet ultimately agrees. As the plot unfolds, however, Will betrays the Jedi plan, for he trusts Hannibal more than them. Hannibal presses the point, suggesting that the Jedi are traitors â that they never even granted Will the rank of Master despite his brilliance. Willâs nightmares intensify: he dreams of his fatherâs death. Returning alone to Tatooine, he arrives too late â the father has been killed. In grief and fury, Will massacres the entire tribe of sand people and later confesses this to Hannibal in anguish. Alana begins to suspect that something is deeply wrong and shares her concerns with Jack.
Now comes the most crucial moment: Willâs fall. Since the PadmĂŠ storyline is mostly removed, an alternative development might be proposed â though the final decision may remain at the authorâs discretion. During one of his missions, Will takes on a Padawan â Abigail. He becomes deeply attached to her and may train her for some time (she may function as an analogue of Ashoka). Eventually he introduces her to Hannibal. Hannibal perceives not only the girlâs potential affinity for the dark side, but an even greater potential: her role as the catalyst for Willâs eventual fall.
At Senator Hannibalâs request, Jack and Willâs Padawan â while Will himself is unable to participate in the mission for some reason â are sent on an operation during which Abigail dies. Will blames Jack for her death and ultimately rejects the light side, embracing the dark. At roughly the same time, Beverly may attempt to assassinate Hannibal; her attempt fails, either because Will intervenes to save him or because Hannibal kills her himself.
From this point onward, the narrative follows the trajectory of the film, culminating in the final confrontation between Will and Jack. The precise nature of the ending may be determined at the authorâs discretion.
