Task Completion

Ben Solo – no, Kylo Ren, that was who he was now.

Kylo Ren stared at the cracked and burned helmet that had been Darth Vader’s, and slowly inclined his head to it.

“Grandfather,” he said. “I will finish what you started.”

“Oh, good,” a voice said, next to him, and Kylo jumped.

“Who said that?” he demanded, turning, and confronted a transparent blue twenty-something human male, athletic and with tousled hair.

“I did,” the transparent blue silhouette said. “And I have to say, I’m really glad you’re going to finish what I started.”

Kylo looked at the spectre, then at Vader’s burned helmet, then back at the spectre.

“...you are not Darth Vader,” he said.

“No, I’m Anakin Skywalker,” the spectre replied. “Vader was my slave name. But nobody else ever wore that helmet.”

Kylo blinked.

“...that can’t be right,” he said, under his breath. “Why do you look younger than me, then?”

“Because this is about as old as I got before losing several limbs and my wife and catching fire,” Anakin(?) stated, shrugging. “I’m dead, kid. I can look how I want. You’re not my dad… the Force is.”

Kylo looked even more confused.

“Oh, huh, you must not have heard that part,” Anakin shrugged. “Anyway, where was I… right, right, the bit about finishing what I started. Listen carefully, the coordinates are-”

“Coordinates to where?” Kylo said, out of patience. “You are speaking nonsense. I do not believe that you are Darth Vader.”

Between one moment and the next, the force ghost was wearing Vader’s helmet, armoured suit, and cape.

“I do,” Vader said. “I find your lack of faith insulting. Perhaps you should remember that the mask tells you nothing of the face beneath it.”

Kylo frowned.

“...so why were you trying to give me coordinates?” he asked.

Anakin took the helmet off.

“Because that’s where Sidious is,” he replied. “On a planet called Exegol. He’s building a fleet to use to conquer the galaxy.”

“Sidious… you mean Palpatine?” Kylo asked, now very confused. “Isn’t he dead?”

“I certainly tried to kill him, but it didn’t quite take,” Anakin said. “He cloned himself. It’s very inconvenient, actually. But that’s the thing that I started but didn’t finish.”

“I thought the thing you started but didn’t finish was wiping out the Jedi Order,” Kylo admitted.

Anakin laughed. “Ha! No, I finished that,” he said. “You’re a smart kid. Terrible impulse control, mind you-”

“I’m not a kid,” Kylo insisted.

“I’m your grandfather,” Anakin stressed, deliberately. “I’m allowed. Anyway. You’re a smart kid. Did Luke have to recreate the Jedi Order from scratch and do… honestly, not a great job at it, I get how he had so much trouble but you’d think he’d have handled more students than that in nearly two decades, several of you were older than I was when I got a padawan. But yeah, as I was saying, Luke had to recreate the Jedi Order from scratch and I think we can both agree that that happened. So! Jedi Order got destroyed, kind of regret that because you’d have had a much better education if I hadn’t and you still… you know, existed… but killing Palpatine is something which I tried very hard to do and didn’t finish.”

He frowned at Kylo, who was trying to decide if the whole ‘hearing voices’ thing was the result of some kind of hereditary lunacy.

“So?” Anakin asked. “You don’t seem to be moving yet. You’re not telling me you’ve got impulse control, are you? I’ve got no idea who that could come from…”

“I was really expecting to just have to kill my uncle,” Kylo muttered.

“Why would I want you to do that?” Anakin asked. “I never wanted him dead. Yes, I cut off his hand, but if you’ve got another good way to disarm a Jedi I’d like to hear it, and I wanted him to rule the galaxy with me as his enforcer. When Palpatine threatened him I literally threw Palpatine down a reactor shaft.”

He shrugged. “Actually, that is the other interpretation of finishing what I started, which is to kill anyone who could threaten Luke’s life. But I think that’s basically the same except you commit suicide at the end, so let’s just go with murderizing Palpatine as the goal here.”

“You’re not what I expected,” Kylo said.

“I hear that a lot,” Anakin mumbled. “Honestly, sounds like an everyone else problem. Now, hurry up, Exegol isn’t going to destroy itself… well, it might, but we can’t rely on it…”

Project Idea: "Jedi Killer"

I had a vision earlier today, and that vision was an interactive fiction where you are one of the Jedi students the night that Ben Solo lights the place on fire and kills everybody.

I feel like the obvious path for a project like this is to have the player character be besties with Ben or even have a romantic pathway with the option to lead him back to the light, but I actually don't want it to be about Ben at all. I have explored Ben a lot in other projects. I thought it would be interesting if Ben's role in this story was more like a monster/enemy/cryptid roaming the campus while you try to hide from him (or, maybe you're looking for him because you want to take him down, if you're that type).

Ben is not someone you know well. He's not someone you're friends with. He's just someone you saw every day for the last ten years of your shared adolescence, and someone that--quite frankly--you've always tried to avoid.

Now you have to avoid him like your life depends on it. Because it does. Avoid him, or die.

I'm thinking there would be a "map" with the rooms of the temple, different sections of the grounds, different huts of your friends, etc. Ben would "move" around the map and maybe there's some kind of Force ability you can use to sense which part of the map he's in, maybe with a risk that reaching out with the Force will alert him to your location as well. There would be a lot of atmospheric storytelling and descriptions of the destruction Ben has left in his wake, maybe flashbacks to the past ten years you spent as his classmate and things you observed about him in passing, things you and your friends would gossip about him. You are also looking for Master Luke, who you don't know if he is even alive. Maybe you can find Artoo on the map and he can become your companion?

I think I would use Twine for this project. It has the ability to set variables which would let me give the player items and I think give me a way to have Ben move around--maybe he's on a timer (like every action you take uses up a turn) and if you take too long in one room he enters the room you're in and finds you.

I am lame and have still not read the Kylo comics after all this time, so I don't know that I would incorporate that material into it.

There is a 5% chance anything actually comes of this idea, and a 95% chance it goes to my mental graveyard along with my five bajillion other abandoned project ideas.

By this point Rex is more of a skywalker than Rey will ever be

[stealingpotatoes]

guys i think i fixed the sequels (continuation of this)

(commission info // tip jar!)

[mystikkal]

somehow squid is more foreboding than snoke

[galactic-rhea]

i do not recommend the button to turn him into the scary one.

Anakin can show pretty much wherever he (or luke) wants; Luke seriously just wanted Rey to climb to the tallest cliff because he thought it would be more dramatic and mystical.

[tip jar!]

these guys fascinate me

[astralcorpse-png]

That’s one hell of a pilot. Based on an old “draw your ship” trend.

For my lovely @thekyluxsecretsanta giftee @artemisdart - I'm sorry this is late and probably not quite what you wanted, but you did say *glove kink*. So have some Kylux glove close-ups (and two scandalous wrists!)
