Dear Yoda (2020)
Mar. 14th, 2020 04:59 pmDear Yoda,
Thank you for writing for me! Feel free to use as much or as little as is helpful. My name is also primeideal on Ao3, and I'm requesting fic in all fandoms.
My tastes tend to vary over time, especially in a broad megafandom like Star Wars. For this exchange, I'm mostly focusing on OT-era and adjacent characters and relationships, and I'm not interested in sequel trilogy canon. If you're interested in an AU future for something like Leia/Han or Luke & R2, go for it, but otherwise, feel free to just focus on the earlier timeframes. Additionally, I'm not very familiar with the EU or Legends, so I probably won't recognize if you draw on something from there, but feel free to weave it in if that's your preference.
General likes:
I have previous dear author letters, though some of those won't be relevant here. Feel free to mix and match prompts, also; a lot of these overlap.
-How much did Obi-Wan tell Beru about Anakin and Padme? How did that affect how she and Owen raised Luke?
-Twinswap AU where Leia grows up with Beru and Owen on Tatooine
-Beru and Shmi's first impressions of each other--did they hit it off? Conflict over mundane things?
-Beru and/or Owen don't get killed off, what happens next?
-Owen hates Tatooine at first, Beru isn't so bad though.
-What does Shmi tell Anakin about his birth?
-What is C-3PO supposed to help her with?
-Anakin uses the Force by instinct, Shmi may or may not know what's going on
Padmé Amidala/Anakin Skywalker
-Culture shock: first (or second) impressions of Tatooine versus Naboo versus Coruscant...
-Everyone can see through their "secret" relationship, but they still think they're being stealthy
-Padmé lives and they raise the twins in secret
-Padmé lives and leads the rebellion, not knowing the Imperial Darth Vader is actually Anakin

C-3PO & Darth Vader
R2-D2 & Anakin Skywalker
R2-D2 & Darth Vader
R2-D2 & Luke Skywalker
R2-D2/L3-37
-Droids bonding with Vader (Anakin) or Luke over the latter's cybernetic limb(s).
-R2 tells Luke about Anakin
-Why is it against Threepio's programming to impersonate a deity???
-Something goes wrong in the original "A New Hope" escape and C-3PO and R2 have to bluff their way out of it to escape with the plans
-R2 meets L3 when he's working for Bail and gets dragged into her rebellion
-L3 survives and joins the gang in Bespin
-R2 sees parallels between Luke and Anakin as pilots
For this prompt, I'd prefer not to have L3 as a "ghost" in the Falcon--either a full-on droid or permanent death is cool.
