Now, under the guidance of Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, he will journey throughout the galaxy in the name of the Republic. His beliefs will come into question. Seemingly unbreakable friendships will form and his skills as a warrior will go through a trial by fire.

I'm quite enjoying the Story so Sar, the writing and grammar are fantastic and the pacing is pretty much perfect. The characters are alive and vibrant, there's an undertone of something bigger going on without it being overt and Im having a lot of fun coming up with theories. I really hope to see this story continue and am looking forward to seeing where it goes from here. Im very optimistic in this becoming one of my favourites. :)

It's a fun take on the Clone Wars story. Here we see a new character, Zakriahs, being introduced as Obi-Wan's padawan, generating divergences in the original story and creating new relations between the original characters. As someone who watched the whole Clone Wars and Star Wars saga, I'm happy that this is being made, specially because I have always really wanted to see a universe where Anakin doesn't become Darth Vader and doesn't die. It would be even better if his romantic interest become someone else later in the story instead of Padme, since it would be a whole new direction and perspective. I really hope you, as the author, try to follow a direction where Zakriahs can make Anakin not go to the dark side, at least not completely, and continue being the morally gray anti-hero he was in the Clone Wars, specially the later half of the seasons, specially because he is the best character of the whole Star Wars franchise.
