The FAQ
1.What do you mean when you ask readers to forget about the ending in Episode III; Revenge of the Sith?
I am asking you not to forget the entire movie, oh no! I am asking you to simply pretend that everything that happens AFTER Anakin Skywalker walks into the Jedi Temple and the younglings ask him what to do didn’t happen. And I do mean everything. No ‘A New Hope’ no “Empire Strikes Back’ no ‘Return of the Jedi’. Everything before that you will do good to remember!
2. So, wait. Now there are TWO Chosen ones?
Yes. Master Yoda himself says in Episode III that perhaps the Prophecy was misread. In my version it originally was. Anyanka Sarvo started her training young like any other youngling; the Council had solely believed that she and she alone was the Chosen one. That is until Anakin came into the picture in Episode I. They were not sure who was the Chosen one and instead of deciding for themselves, they allowed Obi-Wan Kenobi to train Anakin and let the Force decide. It was then discovered that the Prophecy had been read wrong. Instead of one there were actually two and only together could they balance everything out.
3. What happened to Darth Vader?!???!!!!!!
He was defeated. Not dead, obviously! The reason I ask you to imagine everything after the part in Episode III when the youngling asks Anakin what to do didn’t happen is because of what happens in my version. You see, Anakin never got the chance to kill those adorable younglings, because Anyanka stepped in. And of course they fought. I imagine it was a great battle, much like the one in the movie between Anakin and Obi-Wan, except without all the lava and lava-falls…which of course, didn’t happen here. Instead Anakin (Darth Vader at the time) and Anyanka (Still a Padawan) fought each other in the Jedi Temple. At one point Anyanka kisses Anakin (yes, we are talking a la French) because she knew there was something Anakin wasn’t telling her and it was that thing that the Chancellor held over Anakin. She couldn’t get him to tell her, nor could she dig it up in his mind, so she shocked it out of him (Wouldn’t you be shocked if your twin sister suddenly French kissed you?? Even if you had different mothers?). It was at this point in discovering what it was (Padme dieing in childbirth) and why Anakin had chosen the dark side that Anyanka tossed away her lightsaber and told Anakin the truth about his dream. He believes she is lying, but she asks him to tell her one time that she had ever lied to him, which of course he can’t. She asks him to come back and holds out her hand to him (keep in mind he is still fully armed and she’s not…well, not with a saber at least.) and for a moment she thinks he’s going to kill her, but instead he takes out some Clones and Battle Droids that had gathered around them. He then becomes Anakin again, but cannot stop what’s happening which is why they end up fleeing Coruscant (with Masters Kenobi, Vacai and Yoda and Padme still pregnant.) and ending up on Casabline where my Episode IV begins.
4. Who is the Sith Anyanka fought and why does everyone know she fought one when they look at her?
First off, she fought Count Dooku in the beginning of Episode III. The reason everyone knows is because of the black hair. She’s normally a red head, but while fighting Dooku she was touched by the Dark Side which turned the front part of her hair solid black. The silver in her hair that has been mentioned so far is from a solid silver hair piece she had happened to be wearing during the fight. Apparently the fight got so intense that the hair piece melted leaving some small sections of her hair permanently silver. It also ran down various parts of her body permanently staining her skin as well, a strand of silver stained hair had whipped across her face staining the right side of her lower lip.
5. What’s the deal with the people of Casabline owing Anyanka everything?
Well I did touch on that very briefly in the archives scene in Chapter One, and had originally wrote a whole paragraph on the subject in the beginning of the same chapter, but cut it because it wasn’t helping the story flow along. I haven’t decided on whether or not I will touch on that more later on in the story, but just so you know Anyanka crashed to the planet Casabline when she was thirteen and basically discovered the Casablinians who at the time had no knowledge of buildings or technology. In the three months it took for Master Vacai to find her (her Jedi Fighter jumped into a Hyperspace ring during a battle that neither she nor Anakin were suppose to be fighting in and jumped her to an unknown star system) she taught them about building houses and how technology worked. Being from Alderaan where her mother is the Queen, it was decided that people from that planet would move to Casabline to help the Casablinians create a city for themselves. Anyanka’s sister Angelina also moved to Casabline and became their Queen.
6. Does Anakin know Anyanka is his twin sister when they first met? When did they first meet?
No neither of them knew they are twins. How could they? Anakin was raised on Tattooine and Anyanka was raised on Alderaan (by her adoptive parents). They don’t officially meet until the Jedi Council approved of Obi-Wan training Anakin at the end of Episode I and they didn’t like each other much either (10 years of pent-up sibling rivalry perhaps?). It isn’t until later, but before the beginning of Episode II that they discover that they were born on the same day (Anakin’s seven minutes older though) and with a quick check in the Archives they also discover that Anyanka was adopted. They did have two different mothers, but no fathers so they figure out on their own (by sneaking into the Prophecy room and reading it correctly) that they are twins, and as Remus said “They are the twins.”
7. Are you trying to tell me that Anyanka just pops in at the end of Episode III and Anakin knows her?
No. I had originally thought about rewriting Episode III (and II and I) so that readers could see that she was actually there since the beginning, but that would mean a lot of reading of what people already knew, and I didn’t want to sit here and quote from the bloody scripts which just makes one hell of a boring fan fiction. So, instead I’m asking my readers to pretend that Anyanka has been there since the end of Episode I and go with what I’m doing. The first three Episodes are still mainly about Anakin and his spiral towards the dark side, but now you have this twin that he has grown close to that pulls him back to the good side just in time and who actually tells him the truth about Padme’s death in his dreams (cause you KNOW Palpatine used those to turn him to the dark side and KNEW Padme would die because of it!!), and since changing Anakin’s future the next three Episodes become more and more about Anyanka(instead of the twins Luke and Leia).
8. Not complaining here, but why did you decide to throw in characters from the Harry Potter universe?
Because I LUV them! And it’s just the five, with maybe some mentions of other characters from the HP universe touched on briefly. And who better than the Marauders themselves? Besides, not everyone is a Jedi or a Padawan in Star Wars. I wanted other characters that were neither Jedi, Padawan, alien or Republic. Just plain old fashion humans…which of course they are not so I’m still looking for those characters!
9. You said the Marauders and Lily were in this Episode. I’m having trouble finding them. Help?
Certainly!
Remus Lupin is Remus Lucan.
Sirius Black is Sirius Padqulub
James Potter is Jamlon Prodon
Peter Petigew is Petesud Worsea
Lily Evans is Lilea Eveva
I did try to keep their names as close to the actual ones as possible. I played around with MANY different Star Wars Name Generators before I found a few names I liked. I thought it would be clever to have their last names (with the exception of Remus and Lily) to have a part of their nicknames in it so that maybe it would be easier for people to know who they are. Pad(foot)Qulub,Pro(ngs)don, Wor(mtail)sea. Even with Lily and Remus; Eveva(ns), Lu(pin)can. So now that you know who they are in Star Wars, keep an eye out for them to pop up some more!
10. Why does Anyanka want to bang her head against a tree or throw herself down on the ground in the beginning of chapter 1?
Because we all have had days like that. And if I really got into it, then there would be no reason to keep writing the story! Just know that she has her reasons.
11. Are the twins (Luke and Leia) already born?
Yes. My story begins with them already been born, which is why Anakin and Padme are sitting by the lake on a blanket with the week old twins in the beginning of chapter one. They were born on Casabline shortly after landing there.
12. Who is Thartan Vacai?
Anyanka’s Master. If you mean who he is from the Star Wars universe, he doesn’t exist there, I created him because no Master can have two apprentices, and having Master Yoda teach Anyanka the ways of the Force was pushing it!
13. Did you know the name Anyanka is in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series?
Where do you think I got it from?
I mean, no! Really? How curious…..*cough*
14. How the hell do you pronounce some of the names?
Since you didn’t specify which names were giving you the most trouble, here’s a list…and I am going out on a limb here in assuming you already know the original Star Wars names like Anakin, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda…if not…oy.
Anyanka Sarvo: On-YONK-a SAR-vo (rhymes with woe)
Thartan Vacai: Thar-TAN Va (soft a like Vosloo)- KI (rhymes with guy)
Sirius Padqulub: (serious) Pad-Q-lub
Jamlon Prodon: Jam (like what you put on toast)-LON (as in London) Pro-DON(Like Don Wan…which isn’t how it’s spelt.)
Petesud Worsea: Pete-SUDE War-sea (like that big blue thing off the coast of Oregon or New York)
Lilea Eveva: Lily-a Eve-va
Kaia Santorini: Kay-a San-tor-ini
Taima Vapasi: Tame-a Vap-assy
Casabline/Casablinians: Casa (like the beginning of Casablanca)-bline (like blind, but no d) /Casa-bline-in-ans
Anything else you can sound out. It isn’t too much of importance how you say the names in your head (I still call Sirius Cyrus from time to time) as long as you are comfortable with it, then it’s all good!
15. Is this a Star Wars Fan Fic or a Harry Potter Fan Fic?
Well since this is mainly taking place in the SW universe, I’ll have to say Star Wars. But in some places the two universes may combine (as in Kaia telling Anya and Anakin that the group uses the Force much like they do but with wands and incantations.). Like I said before, I had thought about rewriting Episode III to fit Anya in and so everyone would know why Darth Vader is no more (is he though?) and how they got to where they are, but I figured I would start a new with my own story which would require this really long FAQ for people to understand it and throw some much loved Harry Potter characters in it. Just for fun.
16. Will you be adding any artwork to this as you’ve done with some of your stories in the past?
Not at this time.
17. What in the world does D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F. mean?
LOL! It's a little something my younger brother taught me not to long ago. It's simple actually....
Does It Look Like I Give A Fuck. Simple and easy to use. And I can tell you it will be used often in the story. Kind of a private joke between Anakin and Anyanka.
18. Do you realize that you've replaced the word "Revenge" with"Return" when you're talking about the title of the third Episode?(It's Revenge of the Sith, not Return of the Sith.)
*facepalm!* No kidding! I sure did didn't I? Well my only defense is that I put everything up in the very early morning hours and wasn't paying attention to a darned thing. I'm also not a die hard SW fan (Although I have been assured by one that so far I'm doing pretty damn good job!) and more in likely was thinking about "Return of the Jedi" or something. It's fixed now, but thanks for catching it....you die-hard fan you!! <3
19. Why didn't you make the Twins Han and Leia's kids and place it after episode six?
Because I want to change what everyone knows of the Star Wars universe.It's a "what-if" type of thing. What if Anakin never fully became Darth Vader? And I've never read any of the books written by others that take place after Episode Six anyway.
