The summary doesn't do it justice. The most original Star Wars crossover I've seen. The jump in power is a bit much, but the rest of it makes it enjoyable. A bit meh... writing sometimes, but it's original, so I give it that much leeway.

The training is non-existent; not just virtually, but it just is. I think it's a bit rushed because of that, but meh. It apparently is under reconstruction, and there are only 4 chapters to work on at the moment.

Hope you guys like it; I did.

Edit: 8 chapters

 

Well, that definitely is rushed and very sterile for that matters. And how stormtroopers and at-sts are popping up out of the groun is a bit weird. But I found the image of armored dudes in white pointing blasters at Dumbledore pretty funny.

edit: I guess I should add something positive. I'm a bit of a SW fan, but only really of the movies, so I still liked it somewhat. The shortness also made it a very easy and quick read.

 

This wasn't the best SW crossover I've read, but this was the first that I read that had harry using the darkside.

 

bit rushed but i liked it.. could have done without the Revan-ish armor though...

 

point... if someone rewrites this, and makes it longer...

Oh, think of the possibilities.

 

intresting

Good story. it moved a bit to fast for my tast but still a good ide

 

I enjoyed this, might be a bit fast on getting power, and a few how did he do that moments. Pity it seems to be abandoned.

 

it isn't very bad...

 

I wrote the original Author for permission to continue and revamp the fic, but haven't heard anything from them and its been about a week. I'm going to go ahead and do a revamp, but its going to be very very different. I'm working on the the intro chapter as of now, so I'll post when I get it put up.

 

that's good. have you ever read harry potter and the attack of the clones. that is the only story so far that is actually good as a star wars crossover.

 

I did, and I enjoyed it, though I thought the bit with Revan being the Father of the Exile and such was a bit confusing. Very similar to the Jedi-Wizard story I read too, though I felt that Harry was a bit overpowered in that one.

If you are combining SW and HP, one needs to work out how the Force relates to magic. My take on it is going to be that the Force is magic, but most wizards are weak in it, thus they need to use a focusing device to use lesser techniques.

Its a messy situation and one I'm trying to work through before I get to far into the story.

 

LOL. wizards are weaking in magic however they have one thing over jedi. they have countless spells in there liberary that are useful like blowing stuff up or useless spells to make one's face have boils.

the magical world and the jedi's world are practically the same thing. bigotry, prejedus, dark vs light good vs light, there is no shades of gray to them. am i right anyone?

 

I agree, but the difference between spellcasting and the Force seems to be in use. Jedi use it in only certain ways, yet Sith seem to have a plethora of abilities. The original Sith were semi-primatives that used the Darkside in a sort of sorcery, much like the wizards of HP. They even had special amulets and such that focused their power and made it easier to draw upon, sort of like crystal wands. Their abilities were more powerful, but it seems they were less versatile, like cleaning charms.

The way I'm thinking is that any energy beam could be deflected by a Lightsabre, or a Force technique that is difficult, similar to Vader absorbing a blaster shot. I'm still working out a sort of hierarchy of Force/magic driven abilities.

The Jedi are very much like Dumbledore's band of merry men in their view that light is light and dark is dark, and the Sith are very much against light magic considering it weak, thus useless. Personally I've always liked characters that go for the Grey, and use bothsides of the field for their purposes, whether they want to save or conquer.

 

hp/star wars crossovers

i liked this fic a lot personally although it is bit rushed i like it for a lot of reasons
1.It stays in the Harry Potter world and doesnt have Harry magically winding up in the Star Wars world right after he beats Voldemort

2. hes not dating ginny or angsting over her death as he is in most every star wars/hp crossover fic ive read

3. most important of all...he isnt a jedi! this is completeley new to me besides this fic i havent seen a single star wars/hp crossover were he isnt some good little jedi who does whatever hes told

 

Hey Seraphym, I'm guessing you've read the comic Golden Age of the Sith by Dark Horse comics? Because some of what you've mentioned about the ancient Sith is right out of that comic.

I'm a SW fan also and have read over 70% of the books for it, so I know a good bit of info for the SW universe, though most is only for after Episode6:RoTJ.

 

I like it even if it is a bit rushed and short.

Seraphym, Have you rewritten much of the story?

 

cool. A revamp... Is that when you are going to rewrite the fic?

 

Figured I ought to let everyone know that (as the original author of the fic) I have continued and finished the story. I'm currently working on a sequal that delves deeper into this particular universe. If people want to add more to it PM me either here or at FF.net

 

Yes a sequel!! I like what I have read so far...

 

The lightsaber is made out of what? Oh look a throne that makes all the dementors worship him... how convenient. Oh! speaking of convenient... a new prophecy to announce his return to the light side, naming him specifically.
:facepalm


Maybe the next chapter is better?
could have sword avada kedavra wasnt that colour...
and like all great military commanders, he'd gone off to battle, before his base of operations was deemed secure. Griffindor?
Stunning lack of dialogue.

ok, next chapter
yeah...not bad. A little truncated perhaps...
Having a whole army of mecha despite the opening scene of having only the one AT-ST built was a bit much.

God i hope these last three chapters have been a leadup to the actual story, in some sort of bizarre post prologue.. logue...

meh chapters.. some story developing at last... no wait.
2 very short chapters that basically skipped what could have been some very important character interactions...

no moore.. pls.

1/5 + 1/5 due to useage of starwars itself, and keeping with the theme that the badguys have the worst dialogue.

2/5
