Back in the Game (COMPLETE)

Sequel Information

Seriously, though, if anyone has any final thoughts about this book or the overall series, I want to hear it. I understand not all of my writing is great, and if there's something I could have done better I want to make that change in the upcoming Rebels series. I know there will be some people who say that it was great, but I need you to understand: that doesn't help me get better. If there's something specific you thought I did well or that you enjoyed, that would be helpful to know. Whether it's my writing techniques, character development, settings, plotline/plot points, or anything else, I'm wanting to make it better. Believe me, I went back and reread Season 7: I had a rough start.

I have a list of things that happened after this book that will not be in any other book I publish but are in the next few chapters. After all, if Luke and Leia Naberrie are going to grow up together, with both of their parents, Auntie Sola, and Uncle Obi-Wan, you know things are going to happen. In it, I talk about Anakin and Obi-Wan's recovery from Order 66, Padmé's involvement in politics with the new change in leadership, how both Padmé and Anakin become involved in the Rebellion, and, of course, how Luke and Leia train in the ways of the Force. There's also some really cute family stuff that is just happy and cute and a little funny. Don't any of you lie to me, I know we've all thought at least once about what Padmé and Anakin would be like as parents.

Doubtless to say, I made a lot of radical decisions as I went along, some of which were positive, and some of which you guys hate me for. I decided to write out the reasons for those decisions in a chapter of this book called 'Analysis'. I've covered every topic that I could think of, so if you're a literature nerd, or like Star Wars theology, you might want to check it out. I should clarify, it also has explanations for the first two books. However, it's taking a long time to write so it may not be published for a few days.

Thanks again for all of the support. Stay safe during the rest of our quarantine. May the Force be with you.

Lots of love! <3

Edit (06/13/2022):

As you've probably seen a few times, I've edited the Price Series trilogy and uploaded it to Archive Of Our Own. The edited version has corrected most spelling and grammar errors and features additional insights hidden in a few chapters. I use the same username on AO3 (I can't believe it's not taken) and all of my works are under the same titles. The oneshots and short stories are organized chronologically in a separate book labeled accordingly. At the end of Back in the Game on AO3, I left this note that I think ought to go here as well: 

"I wrote the first book of this trilogy five years ago, and I finished this one two years later. I originally published this on 抖阴社区, then on fanfiction.net. After all this time, I hoped that my understanding of spelling and grammar have improved, so I edited this and reuploaded it here. I didn't have 'a beta reader,' rather, I had MANY beta readers, all of which I'm grateful for.

I've expanded on this series. You might have been able to tell from the ending that I set up the story to phase into a Star Wars: Rebels series, which I've begun on 抖阴社区. However, I don't plan to upload much else to AO3. As much fun as exploring possible outcomes from this series has been, the true heart and soul of all of it has been this trilogy. I can't even bring myself to change it very much, despite how much my writing style has evolved. I've locked parts of my life in here, parts I didn't even realize I was weaving in until I reread it much later. Now I can only add to it, just paragraphs here and there where I've learned a thing or two.

If you're curious about how this ending to the Clone Wars affected the events of SW: Rebels, I go by the same username on 抖阴社区. You will, unfortunately, have to deal with my spelling and grammar errors, which I am too lazy to go back and edit, but you will have the benefit of hilarious comments consisting of crying emojis, screaming, and death threats. If you have any feedback or criticism you'd like to share, I read all the comments left on my works. I won't be changing this story, though. In my head, it's been set in stone for a long time.

Yours truly,

A quick recap (major plot points):

-Ahsoka was turned to the Dark Side and became the Inquisitor

-While as the Inquisitor, Ahsoka killed Darth Sideous and escaped to the Lower Levels of Coruscant. She then learns how to balance the Light and the Dark sides of the Force

-Without the influence of Darth Sideous, Anakin and the rest of the Jedi begin to heal from the Darkness, and the Jedi Order slowly begins to act like Jedi again

-Kayla Kanai becomes Chancellor of the Republic

-Barriss is recaptured and interrogated, before escaping again and allying with Maul, who takes her as his Dark apprentice

-Padmé gives birth to Luke and Leia Naberrie

-Maul challenges Tyrranus (Dooku) for the Sith Lord title, fails due to an attack by the Republic on the planet they are on, and retreats to Mandalore without Barriss. While no official play-by-play of the sequence of events that followed was written, it is later suspected that Barriss becomes Dooku's apprentice.

-Barriss forces Chancellor Kanai to activate Order 66, then kills her and escapes Coruscant. Chancellor Kanai's death appears to have been carried out by a clone trooper and provides no evidence that Order 66 was activated. This gives the illusion that the Jedi were killed without orders, which along with Chancellor Kanai's death leads to the eventual persecution of all clone troopers.

-Ahsoka carries out the Siege of Mandalore, liberating it from Maul, but dies in order to save Commander Rex. As the power of the Sith is connected to her, the Sith Rule of Two dies when she does.

-Anakin and Obi-Wan escape to Naboo, where Obi-Wan is welcomed to stay with the Naberrie family.

-The majority of the Republic systems join the Separatist Alliance after the 'betrayal' of the clone troopers. Dooku quickly transforms the Alliance into an imperial monarchy, establishing himself as the head. The Empire begins to conquer the systems which have not joined the monarchy.
