What if "long ago, and a galaxy far far away," was just a bad assumption?
What if none of this started how the Council thought?
I decided there are not a lot of Buffy/Star Wars crossovers out there. I was inspired by "Jedi Harris" by The Dark Scribbler
Meddles with the BtVS timelines. Around the time of early Season 7.
Premise: To counteract the un-balanced Force in the galaxy, a Jedi is needed. I am messing with the Force mythology a bit and having it be the Powers.
Disclaimer- I own nothing. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is owned by Joss Whedon. Star Wars is owned by George Lucas. #Waving hand around# "You do not need to sue this one. He is not the one you are looking for"

Xander Harris stirred uneasily in his sleep. The dreams came to him very regularly now. The First had reappeared and Buffy dying at the hands of eyeless creatures. He always woke gasping for breath at the final image of himself; completely eyeless, and a mindless drone with Buffy's blood spilling over his hands in a warm gush.
True to form, Xander sat up, drenched in sweat, gasping for air. Letting out a long sigh, he kicked off the covers and swung his legs over the side of his bed. He knew he would not get back to sleep this night. Getting to his feet, he padded softly into his living room on his way to his kitchen for a glass of water.
Halfway past the couch he stopped. Tensing up he slowly turned and looked over his right shoulder and saw what he had felt. An apparition floated in place in front of his bedroom door. It was black and moved like smoke. What he supposed were its eyes, glowed red. All of a sudden it smiled evilly and disappeared.
All of a sudden a flash of white light enveloped him and a voiced boomed, "THE TIME HAS COME!" Xander collapsed to the floor and lay like the dead.

Xander woke to a dream. He stood on a vast plain of scorched earth. Looking around puzzled, the clear blue sky gave no indication of what would have caused such destruction.
"Welcome to Coruscant, young one" a clear voice said from behind him.
Startled, he turned to see a middle adged man with short hair and a full beard. The blue-eyed man stood calmly in brown robes and other neutral colored clothing.
"Where am I? Who are you? What was that voice?" Xander asked.
The other man smiled warmly and stepped forward.
"You are in a trance seeing the planet once called Coruscant, now called Earth. My name is Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. The voice you heard will take some explaining" he said.
"Jedi? This I gotta hear," Xander said impatiently.
"Patience, is as it is said, a virtue" Obi-Wan said, teaching once again. He held up a hand to forestall the coming remark from his younger companion.
"Once, many thousands of years ago, this world was the center of a vast republic of peoples. It did not start, as your Council has thought, as a demon infested place home to evil. Many years after my Order was nearly wiped out then rebuilt, a species of conquering beings came from a distant galaxy and destroyed nearly all life as we knew it. Chaos ruled and many fell into disorder. The beings you now classify as demons, were originally just species from other worlds, gathered and put on this planet for protection."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa" Xander interrupted holding his hand up to stop the man. "That's all crazy. How the hell did I get to where I am? And what are you talking about? This is Sunnydale, California buddy. Not some capital of some long lost interstellar republic!"
"Wait a minute. Did I really just say interstellar? Now I know this must be a dream" he finished.
"If you are quite finished, I will continue." Obi-Wan replied. He nodded as Xander motioned for him to continue. "As I was saying, it was the will of the Force to protect the life that was left in this galaxy, so they were brought to this planet. It is only until now that the balance of the Force has been upset and a great evil was awoken. You know of it as the First Evil."
"Huh? The First? I thought Buffy kicked it's ass to save Dead Boy years ago." Xander said.
"Not hardly, Xander Harris. Not hardly" replied Obi-Wan with a grim chuckle.
"Then why am I here? Buff is the one who usually gets these Slayer dreams. Why me? Why now?" Xander asked.
"What you know as The Powers That Be was known for eons as the Force. It is living and flows all around us and through us. The will of the Force is that the Slayer line is to end. They have served their purpose but it has been decided that they are far too reckless. If they are allowed to continue down their path, they will annihilate this world," Obi Wan lectured.
"Look buddy, there are only two Slayers. That's just crazy" Xander stated vehemently, gesturing with his hands.
"I did not say that the two Slayers that exist, but the Slayer line. Events are unfolding that will eventually lead to the destruction of this place and all that you know. It is the will of the Force that this does not happen. Balance must be restored and the Slayer line shall end with these two. And yes they will live, just as normal humans and will not be destroyed."
Obi-Wan Kenobi started to walk in a large circle around his unknowing protégé and spoke, "The time of the Jedi has returned. You and your followers will bring balance to the Force. You are the last of the line of the Skywalker's. You, are our only hope, once again. You are our champion."

Xander woke up with a headache. Light was streaming into the room and he sat up groggily.
"Damn, that was one hell of a dream," he said to no one in particular, least of all himself.
"It was no dream, my young Padawan," Obi-wan replied appearing in front of him.
"Well, crap..." said Xander.
