Let's explore the depths of it in this video. The Force screams. Luke meditates in his academy on Yavin 4, deep in communion with the cosmic Force, examining an ancient Sith artifact. Reality fractures. Colors that shouldn't exist burn across his vision. Time becomes liquid. When the universe stabilizes, he stands in the dusty streets of Mos Espa. The Force feels different here. Younger. Less scarred. His danger sense explodes as a podracer engine roars past his head. He ducks. The crowd cheers. The Boonta Eve Classic rages around him. Then he sees the boy. Nine years old. Blonde hair whipping in the desert wind. Anakin Skywalker races for his freedom, and Luke's heart nearly stops. This is his father before the fall. Before the mask. Before everything went wrong. Luke's mind races. The artifact must have torn through time itself. But philosophy can wait. Right now, young Anakin's stabilizer is about to blow. Luke reaches through the Force. Not crude. Not obvious. Surgical. Molecular. He reinforces the metal at stress points, cools overheated components with Fallanassi techniques. To everyone watching, nothing changes. But Anakin's pod holds together three more crucial seconds. Long enough to avoid Sebulba's trap. A voice behind him. Qui-gon: "Did you feel that?" Luke turns. Qui-Gon Jinn stands there, eyes narrowed, hand near his lightsaber. The Jedi Master felt the manipulation. Luke (deflecting): Feel what? His deflection is weak. Three decades of leading the New Jedi Order have made him terrible at lying. Qui-Gon studies the weathered face, the calloused hands, the way Luke stands. Balanced. Ready. Dangerous. Qui-Gon: You're no moisture farmer. And that was no simple Force trick. The crowd erupts. Anakin wins. The boy leaps from his pod, surrounded by cheering friends. Shmi rushes forward. Luke watches mother embrace son and makes a decision that will reshape everything. He's going to save them all. But first, he needs allies. The two Jedi before him might be his only hope. Question is, how much truth can they handle? Qui-Gon (pressing): Your name. Luke (lying): Ben. Ben Lars. Obi-Wan joins them, padawan braid swinging. Obi-Wan: Master, the boy won. We can... He stops. Senses the tension. Hand drifts to his saber. Qui-Gon: Peace, Obi-Wan. Our friend here is explaining how he performed a Force technique I've never seen in forty years of study. Luke's mind calculates. These men are about to take Anakin to Coruscant. To the Council. To Palpatine. Every instinct screams to act now. But the Force whispers patience. Luke: I learned from unconventional teachers. Far from the Core Worlds. Your mission here involves the boy, doesn't it? Obi-Wan (demanding): How could you possibly know that? Qui-Gon raises a hand. His expression shifts from suspicion to intrigue. Qui-Gon: The Force brought you here. Just as it brought us. You're coming with us. Obi-Wan: Master? Qui-Gon: The Council will want to meet someone with abilities like this. Besides, I expect he has knowledge we need. Do you not, Ben? Luke nods slowly. Knowledge is an understatement. He knows Qui-Gon dies in less than seventy-two hours. That Palpatine is Darth Sidious. That the Clone Army waits on Kamino. That Order 66 is programmed into every trooper's brain. The weight of omniscience crushes him. They return to the slave quarters. Luke watches his father's younger self with fascination. The boy is brilliant, kind, eager to help. No trace of Vader yet. Just potential, infinite and terrifying. Anakin (asking directly): Are you an angel? Luke almost laughs. Luke: No. Just someone who wants to help. Anakin (seriously): I can tell. Mom says I can always tell about people. You're sad about something that hasn't happened yet. The words hit like a lightsaber through the chest. Even untrained, Anakin's Force sensitivity is remarkable. Luke kneels to the boy's eye level. Luke (softly): Sometimes we carry sadness for things we hope to prevent. Anakin (nodding): Like how Mom worries about me racing even though I always win? Luke: Exactly like that. Hours later, aboard the Queen's ship heading to Coruscant, Luke meditates in a cargo hold. The Force swirls like a hurricane. #starwars #starwarswhatif #whatif
