This should not be happening!!!???  Why do I still come back to this damn fic!??

My new theory is that this fic will never die until I kill it damn dead.  So I'm going to finish this fucking thing and you're all going to like it!!

HOOHA!

Also super important news!  After 7... SEVEN unholy years of this fic not dying, I have changed the title.  Yeah, that's right.

and now, in SUPER HUGE LETTERS!!  the new title is:

Star Wars Episode II: Rise of the Twin Suns


On that note, here's a gigantic page of notes on a rather intricate murder plot to take place over chapters 3 and 4... and 5 probably.

Some info on Elian and Mondula's Palace:

• Basic (the language) is not recognized or even acknowledged on Elian.  The government tries to convince the populace that there is no such thing as interplanetary travel, and so there is no such thing as an interplanetary language (Basic).
• The only languages legally spoken on Elian are Huttese and Elese.
• Because of her status as a slave, Adaleia deals with lots of people from other planets (bounty hunters, smugglers and the like), and even though they are forbidden to speak to her in Basic or talk about interplanetary travel, she has gained a little experience with Basic and knows that something is going on.  Somehow she teaches herself Basic; I'm not sure the details of this are very important to the story.
• Because she is such a disobediant slave, Ada remains chained to Mondula at all times (except when she is in the arena, where she is chained to something else so that Mondula is not put in danger).  This is more symbolic than anything else, and the chain is quite long, so she is not constantly with Mondula.

Info on Ada, Shmi, and Slavery

• Shmi was a dancer in Mondula's palace.  When she became pregnant with twins, her masters assumed she had either been having unregulated relationships or had been hoarding men and money.  She was labeled as a disgraceful slave and sentenced to death.
• A mysterious stranger (Sidious or his Plagueis) intervened and offered Mondula an outrageous settlement to purchase Shmi and tranfer her to a lesser status as a labor slave on Tattooine (eventually she would be the property of Gardulla, and then Watto).
• Mondula demanded a replacement dancing girl and was granted permanent ownership of Shmi's daughter along with several fully matured girls. (who would end up raising Ada).
• Have 'permanent' ownership of Ada meant that she could not be lost in bets or sold/traded/freed.  She is a quality invesment, because if Mondula ever lost money or had to sell slaves, he could still keep Ada and 'keep up appearances' without having to pay anyone for her or sell her for funds.
• By doing this (Sidious or Plagueis), ensured that Ada would still be with Mondula when she matured, which would make her easier to find.
• The brand on Ada's back represents this permanent ownership.
• When the twins were born, Ada was removed immediately and Shmi was told that she had died; which is why Anakin never learned about his sister.

Timeline for the Mondula Palace Sequence

Last night when I absolutely could not sleep because I had the scariest dream I've ever had (I got shot in the back of the head while sleeping), To comfort myself from the TERROR oh the TERROR, I got around to thinking about Star Wars.

Brainstorms:

- Just as an interesting detail: Jedi's can't own anything, so I assume they can't buy clothes or whatever, and that's why they all wear the same thing. I bet they have to make their clothes themselves, just like their lightsabers, which is why their clothess are...(shifty eyes)... so ugly. I mean... HUMBLE (*cough*)

- When Ada gets kicked out of the Order, Obi-Wan is appointed to the council because he showed the ability to (BE A TOTAL ASS) control his emotions. Ada finds this out when the quartet is on Naboo, and she is NOT happy about it.

- Although Lightside!Anakin encourages his sister to become a Jedi, and even though he helps train her, Darkside!Anakin still kills her when he is convinced by Palpatine that she is too powerful to remain alive. Ada actually never becomes a truly 'great' Jedi, though her natural abilities take her far enough. Palpatine manages to convolute the truth and convince Anakin that the siblings are too powerful to exist together at once, that in order for Anakin to gain whatever superhuman ability he wants, he has to destroy his sister so that he can have whatever 'power' might have been split between them. This is totally rediculous, of course... but *shhh*, don't tell him.

The prophesy is never revealed to Anakin, and this is a major problem, since it would have cleared this issue right up. He still thinks he is 'the chosen one', when in fact the only way for him to remain powerful and whole, he has to be part of the 'two' (will find cooler name soon). When Anakin kills his sister, he actually falls into Palpatine's trap and becomes weak and essentially powerless, basically becoming Sidious' servant. (if you wantch the trilogy, you'll see that Vader really isn't 'all powerful' until the third movie. In the first two, he's definately the big, scary underdog of the admirals. He has no actual political power, he's just a giant terrifying bodyguard.)

And I'm to tired to do this idea justice right now... but since in my book Obi-Wan is 'the chosen one', I'm going to make some big significance about his line in ep.IV: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

I'm so wiped...

This is starting to actually make SENSE! Woah!


Warning! SPOILERS!!


( 10 years after the Battle of Naboo... )

Just perusing around babynames.com again, and finding a couple nice names.

Adalia
Acacia (hehe... it means 'thorny')
Alameda
Aldeia
Allanya
Annora (with honor)

Combos:

Anaceia (thorny honor...ehehehe)
Anallia (weary honor... Leia means 'weary')


I dunno... I'm just bored...waiting for my father to bring me food. Even if it IS from Arbys....

HUNGRY!

Man oh man, I'm a lazy poo head.

But, due to the third movie coming out, I am filled with inspiration. At least, I mean that I haven't been able to think about anything other than STAR WARS STAR WARS STAR WARS for the past week or so.

Which isn't necisarily BAD or anything.

New, Strange Ideas

Coo-Am's getting a new name! When she is first intruduced, she will be going by that name, but it's not her REAL name, since she never knew it, did she? The name Coo-Am Resioux is some sort of rebellion against the government, and in the language of Elian means something like 'nameless' or something. (ah HA!) I've decided to ACTUALLY make her Anakin's twin sister, to mirror Luke/Leia, and so her name shall start with an A. I also want to make it sound a bit like Leia (the way Anakin has a 'k' in it, just like luKe).

Here are a few thoughts
Alaneia Skywalker (pronounced Ah -la -neigh- ah )
Adaleia Skywalker (pronounced with all long 'ah' sounds "Ah-dah-leigh-ah)
Adeia Skywalker


I really like Adaleia, although I'm worried about what her nickname would be. Ada kind of sounds goofy, and Leia is sort of weird too, since it's taken.

Well, whatever. I think it'll work to have them be twins, since I'm just gonna go all out AU with the fic. WHEE!

I hope it doesn't sound too much like 'Amanda'. (no MARY SUE!!!) And plus, I hate my name anyway, so I wouldn't want to inflict it on one of my characters.

I have more ideas, but I'm out of time at the moment. I shall try to return!!

*flees*

Man, it's been a while. Well, you know...school, and everything is kind of important. Anyway, I am DETERMINED to get this damn thing done by the time I graduate, so....GAH!! I was listening to my Star War mix (I'm a genious, I tell you), and I had a brainstorm or two.

-----

1. In Chapter Two: Coo-Am is running to escape the police (on Elian), and comes across Anakin and Obi-Wan, who have just landed (they are following Nesstwa) and are stepping out of the ship to have a look around. Coo-Am convinces them to get her off the planet, but she doesn't know how to disable her tracking device. (Think like Anakin's in Ep. I). Anakin knows how, since his had to be removed/shut off before he left Tattooine, and he removes it from the back of her neck. Sorry, had to get some gore in there somewhere... Anyway, they escape and all is well for a bit.

2. Nesstwa went to Elian to meet with one of the Hutts about a job, but she comes across the police officers and offers them her services instead. They send Deur with her, as a contact, and they head off to head hunt Coo-Am. The reason Nesstwa takes the job is because she suspects that Coo-Am is the missing part of the prophesy (as explained in ealier entries), and wants to take her (and Anakin) to Sidious for conversion.

-----

Yay! There are now fewer gaping holes in the plot!

1) Anakin in the Ship. (complete, see Febuary 14th, 2004)

2) Obi-Wan senses the the assasination and goes to aid. (drafted, see January 19th, 2004)

3) Panaka sends a distress message and Obi-Wan goes in pursuit of Nesstwa, telling Anakin to stay and make sure the Queen is safe. (pending)

3) Lightsaber battle: Nesstwa vs. Obi-Wan. The lightsaber battle lasts a bit and then becomes a chase, as Nesstwa flees to her ship and Obi-Wan pursues. (pending)

Depending on length and cut-off/suspence, this part may be put in the beginning of the second chapter.

4) Obi-Wan is forced to leave Naboo in order to follow Nesstwa further. Now that he knows she's a Sith, it is very high priority for him to catch her. (pending)
