    Title: A Wizard's Intervention

    Star-Wars
    Summary: Harry Potter is
    the Master of Death. Let's throw him into Star Wars near the start of the
    Clone Wars, shall we?

    This follows the basic HP/SW pattern of OP Harry dimension travelling to SW, finding himself in a ménage-à-poly with various Star Wars babes, and having some adventures. The partners so far are Jedi Master Fay, Lana Beniko (an ancient Sith lord revived from a stored clone), and Vhonte Tervho (bounty hunter). Redeeming features for me are good writing in general, and use of some of the larger sweeping elements of the extended Star Wars mythos. Plus, as someone in the HF comment thread mentioned, it's cool that Harry's girlfriends include some fairly obscure members of the Star Wars backstory.

    The opening of the first chapter is somewhat weak (Harry does an overwrought ritual to leave the Wizarding world), but he reaches the SW universe after a few pages and things pick up from there. The story features a sentient Force (= magic), various ancient Sith relics including giant space opera features like the Star Forge (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Forge), battles on worlds again under the influence of the Rakutans etc., and a force-sensitive female droid who I hope was not intended to be yet another girlfriend for Harry. Lots of this stuff was new to me, so I enjoyed it quite a bit. Also, if you are into smut, there are several interludes that are done pretty well. They are explicit and emotional, and not so numerous or extended as to take over the story.

    Minuses are the overused OP and harem tropes, and that the story stops in the middle. The fragment that is there was apparently written on commission, so maybe the money ran out. Still though, stopping that way seems common in the HP/SW crossovers that I've seen. I don't know of a single one that is actually complete (I'm sure they exist, i just haven't read any). It might be that the amount of stuff to juggle gets too big for the author to stay on top of, so they back away.

    There is literally nothing good about this.

    What can I say, I liked reading it, maybe because I am pretty unfamiliar with Star Wars other than the first three movies plus the prequel music video (lookup "Midichlorian Rhapsody"). I didn't understand til quite recently that the SW backstory had a big mythos going on. I'm not about to start watching the rest of the SW movies but might look for some good non-crossover SW fanfic.
