Edit Notice 5/20/2005: It's been an insanely long time since I updated this, and, well I'm sure some of got peeved/gave up, but I'm going to finish it. Let it not be said that I don't listen to my reviewers (see Gene, it's not futile!).

I've just seen episode three, so I'm going to go back and alter bits of the story to fit the actual cannon information, so this is going to be tagged with an episode three spoiler warning.

Yes, this is an alternate universe story, but it only branches away from the official timeline when Luke is nine, and I'd like to stick with that. This means that as I replace chapters with edited versions (edited for cannon information, grammar, spelling, formatting and just because I feel like changing things), bits of the story will be considerably different, if you've read it before, you might want to go back and re-read those bits. Or don't if you don't feel like it because the basic plot will (probably) remain the same.

As I edit each chapter, I will put a notice on that chapter and the date I edited, so you'll know which chapters have been changed so far and which haven't.

Edited chapters will come out every few days and when I'm done with those, new chapters with appear about once a week.

Don't review this chapter! It's just going to get deleted and replaced when I finish chapter 9 (which is about a quarter done). The only reason it's here is to let everyone know what's going on.

If you feel the need to review (and I hope you do, I like most authors, love feedback - especially of the constructive variety), tag it on to another chapter. Don't be afraid to tell me my story sucks. Just tell me why it sucks.
