I'm on the hunt for some fanfiction where the Sith characters truly embody the dark side and act like the ruthless, power-hungry villains they are meant to be. Most Sith fics I've come across seem to focus on characters who secretly oppose the Sith ideology and eventually turn against them or join the Republic. While those stories are interesting, I'm looking for something different this time. I'm curious if anyone knows of fics where the Sith characters are unapologetically evil, embracing...

The MC knows the movies but I cant categorized this fic as a shameless self insert power trip the way many fanfictions unfortunately are. I have not watched the movies but this the story is not hard to follow and whats great about this fic is that the MC is not a force user (cant OP his way through problems) allowing for a better plot, epic battles and great characters. Here is the summary for the story: Born to a not unimportant, not important planet in the Inner Rim, Rain never placed...

Much as I love Luke, I've always clamored for stories where Anakin manages to not completely fuck the galaxy up. Does anyone have recs for some good, Anakin-centric stories? Most of what I've found is either time-travel (gets old quickly outside a few exceptions) or are stores that are far too fluffy. They tend to harp on his relationships with the Clones, his slave past, or Obi-Wan incessantly, with far too little killing of the bad guys for my taste. I've reread those by geo3, of which...

How would you go about telling the story of Star Wars, if you were to change the setting of the story from the Star Wars universe to the historical Earth? To be clear: historical fantasy. People can still have Force powers. But no lightsabers or high technology. I can think of a few different avenues: - The Jedi (probably would change the name) as a Holy Order of the Catholic Church. They are dedicated to peace and diplomacy but are also warriors of extreme skill, capable of performing...

General principles: Depicts Jedi as serious, dignified, skilled and reserved, with significant emotional control, self-discipline, wisdom, etc. In short, no Jedi bashing, including no “Jedi code bashing”. A more mystical Force. Jedi rely on the Force more, lightsabers are drawn only as a last resort. Also to flesh out the mental powers of the Force. Eliminate silly vocabulary. More adult tone. Flesh out galactic economy, politics, technology. Star Wars Episode 1 Establishes...

Any good prequel-Episode IV Obiwan stories? I'm not really looking for time travel stories. Just AU divergences if possible. They don't have to feature other characters necessarily. The primary focus should be on Obiwan.

After Rogue One I'm in a bit of a SW kick but apart from The Son if Suns trilogy I'm not very familiar with the fandom. Could anyone recommend a decent AU where Anakin doesn't turn to the dark side?

Watching the new trailer got me hankering: are there any half decent SWTOR fics out there?

Anything worth reading in this fandom?

So, I recently watched these three videos (not sure if that worked.) Anyway, my request should be fairly obvious- does anyone know any good, epic, long fics that re-write the prequels? I don't even hate them that much, but these videos give such a good summary it really makes me want to read one... I feel like I need to point out that I'm not necessarily asking for the the story in these videos, just any well-written and long re-write.

With all this Star Wars feeling around, I've been a bit on a SW binge. Anyone know a story where the Jedi Order is being rebuilt in secret after RotS? I remember one or two quests over on SV that had this as its basic idea, but they went nowhere. It would be interesting to read about though. Perhaps one of the Jedi receives a Force vision about the destruction of the Temple and flees with some part of the Jedi...or the Council is uneasy during the Clone Wars and prepares a hidden Jedi...

If you had the power to make the Star Wars prequels, how would you have written them? We can take it as given that "no wooden dialogue", "use actual sets", "less pandering to kids with silly shit like Jar-Jar" are part of your changes. I'd like us to focus on the actual substantive story. This thread was primarily inspired by a series of videos by Belated Media on YouTube: What if Episode One were good? What if Episode Two were good? Episode three is supposed to be coming sometime this...

I find myself dissatisfied with the way so many Star Wars fanfics use the Force and characterise the Jedi. I'll looking for novel-length fics in which: 1. The Force is used in a way that recognises that it's more than a combat aid. I want to see the more spiritual side of the Force too, the side we see in Yoda in Empire. Occasional token meditation is not sufficient. 2. The Force is taken into account when Jedi are characterised. They don't have temper tantrums, they don't have emotional...

I discovered Harry Potter fan fiction by way of Star Wars fan fiction but it had been over half a decade since I last read a good star wars fic until Havoc Side of the Force started getting thrown up around here. Having thoroughly enjoyed that I got the urge to read some more Star Wars. Assume I've read most of the classics, Whalberg, FernWhithy etc. Has there been anything good published in the last couple years?

Are there any good Star Wars fanfics? Non-slash, completed, and non-NJO. Original trilogy and prequel trilogy are both fine. I'm on a Star Wars kick after reading Havoc Side and Discordant.
