star wars prequel trilogy

The Clone Wars were an aberration. They were never supposed to happen. Rex and Ahsoka, joined in the past by Fives & Echo, work to use their chance to circumvent the dark plans of Sidious, juggling their efforts to save the future with the needs of maintaining their security in the past. The Clones who work with them, the Jedi at large, and even some elements of the Senate are beginning to notice that something is Not Quite Right about the Jedi Padawan who isn't, and threats loom in every shadow. Some of them, the time-travelers know are coming, but others spring up in their midst without warning, and still others stem from the changes they're making to the future. YEAR 2 covers the events of 21BBY, sticking as close to the canon timeline as Year 1, but with the focus more on the relationships between clones, Jedi, the Republic and others. The Endgame IS Rexsoka, but that is still a LONG way off, though the beginnings of pining will be much more prominent in this installment than in the first one. You do NOT have to read Year 1, but there may be a few blips of confusion.

Anakin Skywalker was a miniature sun in the Force; Obi-Wan could understand why Qui-Gon was enamored. But this? Intending to take the boy as his apprentice, while Obi-Wan was standing right next to him? The shame that burned red on his cheeks was a familiar friend. He felt it countless times growing up beside Qui-Gon, a master too good for him and the rage he carried.(Or: Obi-Wan finally gets tired of being nothing but a burden when he has given everything he has to give. He’s setting Qui-Gon free.)

Right after Shmi sends Anakin to the Jedi, she's suddenly transported over thirty years into the future, onto the bridge of the Executor when Vader is searching for Luke. Vader isn't terribly keen on his mother knowing who he's become, but Shmi figures out fast he's a slave, and she's going to do whatever she can to help him, whether he's her long-lost son or not.
