The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_13eea985	comment	Arbitrary Skepticism: Despite being able to verify that Ben is a future version of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi Council still dismisses his claim that the Sith are alive. Ben is initially frustrated but admits to himself that in a similar situation he'd be equally skeptical. This attitude is called out by Quinlan when he gets a number of Ben's memories, bluntly telling Mace Windu that the problem isn't so much the Sith but that the Jedi refuse to listen. Around that point, partly thanks to the evidence of the Kenobi Report, their attitude shifts to "we don't believe it" to "we need proof to convince everybody else." In Night, Obi-Wan's reaction to seeing the Sleeper appear as a Humanoid Abomination in Ben's mindscape was to tell himself that he doesn't believe in gods.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1439161f	comment	Following this, Obi-Wan has nightmares from his traumatizing experience with the Yam'rii. This leads to him having a Heroic BSoD in front of Ben. Unfortunately, the Jedi who witness Obi-Wan's breakdown incorrectly assume that it was caused by Ben's Training from Hell. It doesn't help that during the Tovarskl mission, Ben resorted to destroying Obi-Wan's mental shields in order to stop the Jedi from massacring the Kaleesh. This causes Adi Gallia and Master Tahl to confront Ben over his "abusive" treatment of his padawan.

During his therapy session with Ni Hiella, Quinlan bemoans that he's not going to "get better" and will have to live with the darkness inside him for the rest of his life. This is all very reminiscent of a person struggling with a violent mental illness.

Obi-Wan's Armor-Piercing Question leads Ben to doubt himself as he realizes that he had several opportunities to help others, yet only intervened if he had something to gain. Case in point, Ben knew from day one that Master Ky Narec was stranded on Rattatak. Despite this, he waited three years before searching for him and only did so because he needed to find Ventress to use as a bargaining chip with the Nightsisters. He was also willing to let the Rattataki people be enslaved by Sinteen warlords and only took down the warlords because Narec and Ventress refused to leave until Rattatak was liberated.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_17501df2	comment	The fic really goes out of its way to show the impact the Clone Wars had on Obi-Wan. Ben Naasade's character shows more or less how Obi-Wan would have actually turned out following the events of Episode III. Rather than a Cool Old Master, you end up with someone who appears to be that (albeit in his mid-thirties to begin with), but who also happens to be a Shell-Shocked Veteran with deep-seated psychological scars underneath the thin facade.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1779f10e	comment	"Well Done, Son" Guy: Ben has a significant case of this and other unresolved issues regarding Qui-Gon Jinn (who he both loved and resented for his initial rejection and occasional regrets). Since it was with his timeline's version, this Qui-Gon is puzzled by how Ben blows hot and cold towards him, and is deeply troubled by (after Ben cryptically remarks that Qui-Gon reminds him of his old Master) Obi-Wan's observation that Ben's Master was probably "a great Jedi, but not a good man." This all left Ben with an obsessive drive to be the 'perfect' Jedi, per the Code, which ultimately broke both him and his relationship with Anakin, who became a Well Done Son Guy in his own right. As a result, he's much more flexible and gentler with Obi-Wan. Heartbreakingly, in Passage, Qui-Gon all but reveals this (after several hints across the series of his own issues with the very strict and dignified Master Dooku) when he says that in regard to his reluctance to push his boundaries (regarding his use of the Force after losing the ability to sense it, but also in general) comes not from fear of failure, but "disappointment and shame."

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_17a606bd	type	Master Swordsman
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_17a606bd	comment	Master Swordsman: Given that he fought in the Clone Wars and has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of Grievous, Dooku, Maul, Ventress, and Vader, Ben is a master lightsaber duellist and easily outclasses most of the other Jedi in the past. During Ben's open challenge for temporary custody of his padawan, he won all but two fights out of a hundred duels—and neither one of those was fought with a lightsaber. Of every duellist seen, only Windu manages to beat Ben onscreen, in a spar set near the start of the series, and that by going all out, when Ben's more or less teasing him. It's also mentioned that Ben sparred with Dooku when he was in the Temple, and while the result was not stated, it was apparently magnificent to watch. Dooku, naturally, is a superb swordsman as a particular master of Makashi and his prowess is occasionally demonstrated as he starts to appear in the series. Obi-Wan spends a long time assuming that he's barely competent with a lightsaber, in part because Ben keeps teaching him Shii-Cho, which is the most basic form of them all, and refuses to let him train with other Padawans. As it turns out, this because he was invoking Achievements in Ignorance, teaching Obi-Wan techniques fit for seasoned Jedi Masters, and Obi-Wan ends up capable of mowing through multiple Senior Padawans, each with most of a decade of experience on him, and later on a par with most Knights before he even reaches the level of Senior Padawan.

It quickly becomes clear to both Jedi Masters that Ben was more interested in beating and humiliating Krell. Shaak Ti points out that he could have alerted the Healers that Krell was vulnerable to the Dark Side and Mace can sense the sheer hatred that Ben holds against Krell. This makes Mace realize that Ben wanted Pong Krell to Fall and was motivated by vengeance for Krell's actions in the future.

This succeeded too well, since Krell winds up going past the Rage Breaking Point and completely falls to the Dark Side in an effort to kill Ben. Part of the problem, it's noted, is that Ben was enjoying it a bit too much.

He even took to calling them vod (Mandalorian term for "brother") and personally knew every trooper under his command. He holds a serious grudge against Pong Krell after the latter attempted to kill his men during the Umbara campaign, one he carries over into the new timeline—he challenges Krell time after time, knowing that he'll always accept, and always teases him with victory before beating him. He claims to be trying to tease out the Dark Side tendencies before Krell Falls in earnest ( which happens anyway), but others note that Ben was enjoying it too much and it was clearly personal.

Throughout the fight, Ben savors the fear in Sidious's eyes as he slowly overpowers him and finishes his mental And This Is for... speech with "This is for me". He then derives pleasure from Force-choking the Sith while watching him writhe around on the floor in pain. When Obi-Wan pleads with Ben to spare Palpatine's life and take him into custody, Ben feels anger at being "pulled away from a vengeance that is rightfully his to take."

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1a8dc238	comment	Underestimating Badassery: When Ben challenges each of the Siniteen warlords terrorizing Rattatak to a gladiatorial duel, his first two opponents brush him off as an arrogant mercenary and don't even bother bringing weapons for their match. After Ben curb-stomps his first Siniteen, the next warlord still underestimates him and attributes his first victory to pure luck. Once the second warlord goes down, the two remaining start to treat him seriously.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1b465242	comment	Conditioned to Accept Horror: One of the reasons that Ben has trouble connecting with other Jedi is due to this trope. Because he spent years fighting in the Clone Wars, he's more used to harsh conditions compared to the Jedi in the past. On the one hand, it means that he's a ludicrously skilled duellist who flattens everyone who challenges him. On the other hand, he's twitchy, ruthless, and has a horrifying case of PTSD.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: Ben has a tendency of keeping everyone else in the dark whenever he acts. This initially leads to many cases of Headbutting Heroes from Jedi who misunderstood the situation. In Ruin, Ben joins the Republic's delegation to Tovarskl, a Yam'rii colony world being invaded by the genocidal Kaleesh. From his knowledge of the future, Ben knows the Yam'rii are Villains With Good Publicity and that the Kaleesh are Good All Along. Since he didn't bother explaining this to the other Jedi before he left, this nearly leads to a case of Let's You and Him Fight between the Jedi and Kaleesh after the Yam'rii secretly imprison Ben and claim the Kaleesh killed him. Following this, Obi-Wan has nightmares from his traumatizing experience with the Yam'rii. This leads to him having a Heroic BSoD in front of Ben. Unfortunately, the Jedi who witness Obi-Wan's breakdown incorrectly assume that it was caused by Ben's Training from Hell. It doesn't help that during the Tovarskl mission, Ben resorted to destroying Obi-Wan's mental shields in order to stop the Jedi from massacring the Kaleesh. This causes Adi Gallia and Master Tahl to confront Ben over his "abusive" treatment of his padawan. Played with in Sa Sarad. Prior to joining Jango's army, Ben tries to avert this by leaving behind notes for Windu which inform him about how the Yinchorri attacked the Jedi Temple in Ben's timeline. However, Ben disguised his warnings as vague historical reports and was counting on Mace to be able to decipher them. Although Mace does figure out what the true meaning behind his notes, Ben failed to include how and when the Yinchorri would attack. Thus the only thing Windu can really do with this information is have security at the Temple tightened, something he was going to do anyway. Because of this, the Yinchorri successfully plant a bomb in the Temple which causes catastrophic damage. In Tarot, this costs Ben a major victory. While he warned Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon about the Sith and the need to take Maul alive, he neglected to tell Qui-Gon's padawan, Sian, any of this. So when Ben is on the verge of defeating Maul, Sian tries to "help" by going for the killing blow, unaware that Ben wanted Maul alive. Ben then has to draw his attention away from Maul to stop Sian, giving Maul the chance to escape. While Ben is initially furious with Sian, he quickly recognizes that Sian didn't fully understand the situation and was only trying to help.

In True Colors, Ben mentions that a private mercenary organization called the Nova Guard was responsible for handling the security of Chandrila's medical supplies. The Nova Guard is an actual group from both the canon EU and Legends, having been featured in the RPG sourcebooks. In Lineage, a Death Watch member that Ben and Jango captures and interrogates is named Tam Saxon, a reference to the character Gar Saxon from the canon EU. In Chapter 21 of Coronation, just as Ben is about to finish off a disarmed Palpatine, Obi-Wan steps in and pleads with Ben to let the Sith live. The whole scene mirrors Anakin begging Mace Windu to not kill Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith. Unlike in that film, Ben actually does succeed in killing him here.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_2ae29c0d	comment	The Dreaded: Palpatine/Darth Sidious is this for Ben. Ben knows that he stands no chance of beating Sidious in a straight-up fight and he admits to his holocron that heâ€™s terrified of him. When Ben visits Bail and Breha, he comes close to telling them that Palpatine was responsible for trying to assassinate Obi-Wan but stops at the last second out of fear that Palpatine will find out somehow and target them as well. When he tries to discuss the subject of Sidious to his holocron, he enters a Thousand-Yard Stare and sits in silence for four hours. When he finally confronts Sidious at the end of Coronation, he finds to his surprise and vicious glee that since Sidious has not had three years of the galactic-scale horror of the Clone Wars to feed off, he's not by any means the powerhouse that he was in Ben's time. He's a frighteningly powerful Sith Lord, a true monster... but he isn't anything more than that. As a result, Ben beats him and kills him. On a more abstract level, he's also terrified of Sidious' master, precisely because a) he knows nothing about them, b) they'd have to be scary enough to control Sidious. The Anzat species are something of a bogeyman to the Jedi. They are a race of space vampires who feed on Force-sensitives. The first time that Bant encounters one, she is paralyzed by fear upon realizing exactly what she is dealing with. The Jedi in general, with outside perspectives such as Jango's showing how scary they can seem to non Force Sensitives. Ben is very aware of this, and points out to both Shmi (who's wondering about the rules of attachment) and Jango (who's exasperated about how the Jedi can be so terrifying one moment and so stupidly kind the next) that this is why the Jedi are so firmly The Fettered, because they know what they could be, and they're terrified of it. Hence attitudes to the Sith, who are not just Jedi off the leash, but far, far worse.

Shaak Ti counters by pointing out that Shmi is a fully consenting adult and that it was only a kiss.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_3b4abb27	comment	Double Meaning: In Night, Obi-Wan experiences a Force vision in the Nightsisters' swamp where he encounters a mythosaur. This encounter is symbolic of Ben's failed relationship with Anakin. Obi-Wan is given a plush doll that suddenly transforms into a baby mythosaur. At first, Obi-Wan is affectionate towards the baby but becomes startled when the mythosaur rapidly grows up. As it grows, the mythosaur is clearly in pain, but Obi-Wan has no idea how to help it. This reflects how Ben was given Anakin as a padawan with no preparation and had no idea how to raise him. Like the mythosaur, Anakin had a very troubled life growing up and Ben didn't know how to help him. As an adult, the mythosaur turns aggressive and lashes out at everything around it. Obi-Wan doesn't want to hurt the creature and tries to calm it down to no avail. When the mythosaur tries to attack the Nightsisters' settlement, Obi-Wan finally resorts to using the Force against it. Likewise, when Anakin turned to the Dark Side, Ben didn't want to fight him and only relented after Anakin harmed PadmÃ©. When the mythosaur starts sinking into the swamp, it panics and mutilated itself, all while Obi-Wan looks on in horror. This is a Continuity Nod to Revenge of the Sith, where Ben watches as Anakin is burnt alive by Mustafar's lava banks. The difference is that while Ben left Anakin to burn, Obi-Wan puts an end to the mythosaur's suffering with a Mercy Kill. This is made even more clear by the following conversation between Obi-Wan and Ghost!Anakin:

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: Because of Ben, Jango Fett becomes much more heroic compared to his canon self. He becomes one of Benâ€™s closest friends and even a pillar of support for him. He also mentors Obi-Wan and sides against the Sith rather than help them. However, on more than one occasion it is gently pointed out to him that he is still fundamentally the same man — just one now aware (and horrified by) how far he's willing to go to get revenge, pointed at the bad guys, and with several Morality Chains (Ben, Obi-Wan, and Satine). In Legends, Komari Vosa falls to the Dark Side and becomes the leader of the Bando Gora following her banishment from the Temple. Thanks to Ben and Obi-Wan convincing Dooku to take her back as his Padawan, Komari doesn't Fall and ends up becoming a Cool Big Sis for Sian. Chapter 9 of Mirage subverts this, as Lady Livion's POV shows that Komari is being drawn into the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis with the Jedi around her being none the wiser. Because Obi-Wan helped liberate the Kaleesh people, Qymaen Jai Sheelal (Grievous's past self) doesn't develop a hatred of the Jedi and ultimately becomes an enthusiastic ally to Obi-Wan. In Legends, Bruck Chun was a bully who joined Xanatos Du Crion and remained as a villain up to his death. Here, he ultimately rejects Du Crion and deeply regrets spying for him. He ends up joining the Temple Guard to atone for his actions.

Most importantly, Palpatine is exposed as a Sith and killed, ensuring that the Bad Future Ben came from will never take place. However, in the process of killing Palpatine, Ben gives in to his desire for vengeance and almost falls to the Dark Side. He is then kidnapped by Darth Plagueis, who intends to make him his next apprentice. Also, with Sidious dead and Ben missing, the Jedi have no more leads on the Sith and are back to square one in their investigation.

Hearing the locals on Tatooine say that Gardulla is coming for a visit is what tips Ben off that heâ€™s somehow in the past.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_4bc2a19c	comment	Villain Forgot to Level Grind: This is how Ben is able to defeat Darth Sidious in Coronation. Since the Clone Wars hadnâ€™t happened yet, Sidious had yet to feed off the galaxy-wide suffering caused by the conflict and the Light Side's presence in the galaxy wasn't being smothered by years of galactic war. This means that Sidious was much weaker than his future counterpart. Meanwhile, Ben has a lifetime of experience fighting the Sith and had spent the past seven years growing in power through constant training. As a result, Ben is actually stronger than Sidious at this point and he overpowers the Sith Lord with surprising ease.

Unlike Sith lightning, which draws upon the desire to inflict pain, Emerald Lightning is generated when a Force-user accepts pain and focuses it outward in an electrical blast. This technique is normally reserved for Kel Dorian Jedi, such as Plo Koon, whose homeworld sees electrical storms on a normal basis. Ben is able to redirect lightning, a skill which he picked up on Tatooine from the lightning storms caused by the static from the planet's sandstorms. He later teaches Obi-Wan to do it.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_4e9fe57d	type	Trauma Button
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_4e9fe57d	comment	Trauma Button: Ben has several due to his Dark and Troubled Past. A lot of Ben's trauma is centered around General Grievous. In Ruin, while lying on the ground after being wounded by the Yam'rii, Ben almost panics when he sees Jai Sheelal (Grievous's past self). The idea of being vulnerable and weak with his future Arch-Enemy standing above him nearly triggers him. In Remembrance, after Pong Krell stabs Ben with his lightsaber, Ben's injuries cause him to hallucinate his attacker as Grievous. This triggers Ben into using the Dark Side to nearly kill Krell by attempting a Literal Disarming. In Remembrance: Part II, Ben vehemently refuses to allow the Healers to implant him with artificial organs due to the process reminding him of Grievous's cyborg nature and having a nightmare of transforming into Grievous. At the beginning of Fever, hearing a transmission warning everyone to stay away from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant causes Ben to have a brief panic attack, as it reminds him of the transmission he sent out during Order 66. In Tarot, Ben nearly relives one of the worst moments of his life. He and Qui-Gon duel against Darth Maul and he is once again helpless as Maul impales Qui-Gon with his lightsaber. He finally breaks down into tears when Obi-Wan is able to heal Qui-Gon since it causes Ben to see himself as a failure because he couldn't save his master in his original timeline.

One of Ben's greatest fears is that Obi-Wan and Shmi will stop loving him once they learn the truth about his identity. Shmiâ€™s reaction when Ben confides his fears to her is simultaneously tearjerking and heartwarming. She actually believes him when he says that knowing his secret might make her hate him and finds herself unable to offer forgiveness for whatever Ben is hiding from her. Instead, she assures him that sheâ€™s willing to wait until he feels heâ€™s ready to tell her the truth, while privately hoping that he never does. Eventually, she tells him that she doesn't care about who he was and what he did, instead that she (platonically) loves the man he is now. As for Obi-Wan, he's mostly baffled, but comes to terms with it remarkably quickly.

However, the author still takes certain liberties with minor details from both Canon and Legends. A good example of this is in Night, which features the Sleeper, a character taken directly from the canon novel Dark Disciple. However, the events of that novel itself (including Ventress' death) are given the discontinuity treatment as Ben remembers briefly running into Ventress during his exile on Tatooine.

Also, because they see any act of violence as evil, they oppose their own allies just as much as their enemies, further weakening Mandalore's already unstable government. Finally, itâ€™s pointed out that while pacifism is a noble principle, it only works if the other side is honorable enough to not strike down an unarmed opponent. Seeing as how the "other side" is the Death Watch, the New Mandaloriansâ€™ ideals end up coming across as both ignorant and naÃ¯ve.

It quite quickly becomes an Open Secret, however, and a source of fascination for the younglings (particularly non-mammalian ones), as well as a cause for a lot of very attentive Padawans, Knights, even Masters. Satine is revealed to be pregnant and doing her absolute best to hide it in Mirage, in part because she's 18 and under a lot of pressure, in part because the father is Obi-Wan.

Ronderu lij Kummar, Grievous's Lost Lenore in Legends, is spared from her original death on Kalee as a result of Ben's scheming and accompanied Jai Sheelal to Tovarskl. She later becomes part of a Ruling Couple alongside Jai Sheelal. Unlike in canon, Ventress survived the Clone Wars in Ben's original timeline. The last time Ben saw her, she was still working as a bounty hunter — though she passed up the chance for the galaxy's biggest bounty (him), buying him a drink as he bought one for her, before they went their separate ways. Master Ky Narec, Ventress's master whose death drove her to the Dark Side, is rescued by Ben and Obi-Wan early on, preventing his canonical death. Because Shmi Skywalker was taken to Coruscant to become a Jedi, she is never killed by the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine. Qui-Gon Jinn survives his duel with Darth Maul thanks to Obi-Wan Kenobi using Nightsister magic to heal his wound but in doing so he loses his connection to the Force. Captain Rozess survives the Yinchorri's attack on the Jedi Temple, albeit heavily injured. Because Ben killed Palpatine before he was able to overthrow his master, Darth Plagueis outlives his apprentice and replaces Sidious as the main antagonist.

It was actually the clone commanders who were responsible for the Republic's victories, yet they never received any credit due to the Senate's Fantastic Racism. Even when the Jedi eventually did get their act together, all the strategies and tactics they used were taught to them by the clones.

He dotes on Anakin, and later Jax and frequently visits the creches, with Quinlan noting that it's practically the one time that he ever feels even close to at peace. When Ben and Obi-Wan go on a Search for a new Jedi youngling to his and Obi-Wan's homeworld, the candidate they find (who gets renamed Beru Ka'ra) is a six-month-old baby girl and Obi-Wan, who chose her, notes that he can sense his oh-so-stoic Master instantly turn to goo the moment she smiles at them.

It's also worth noting that he sees Palpatine as bad enough, and is a little terrified at the thought of someone scary enough that Palpatine would obey them.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_79a60aec	type	For Want of a Nail
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_79a60aec	comment	For Want Of A Nail: As a result of Ben's interference with the past, numerous events diverge from canon. This is also why Ben is hesitant to reveal anything about the future to the Council. Ben's first act upon finding himself in the past was to free Shmi and Anakin from Gardulla the Hutt and bring them both to the Jedi Temple. This leads to Shmi becoming a Jedi herself with Shaak Ti taking her as a padawan. During her Jedi training, Shmi falls in love with Master Tholme and later becomes pregnant with their child, adding another Skywalker to the family. Since Anakin was freed from slavery at an earlier age and had his mother to support him, he doesn't grow up with the same emotional issues he had in canon. Also, since Anakin was brought to the Temple at a younger age, he has an easier time adjusting and making friends with the other younglings. One of these younglings, Jax Pavan, becomes Anakin's Best Friend and later his adopted brother. Because Ben and Obi-Wan help Qymaen Jai Sheelal (General Grievous' past self) liberate his people, Sheelal never develops a hatred for Jedi nor does Kalee experience starvation. Instead, the Kaleesh people become allies with the Jedi, and Kalee later forms a close partnership with Corellia. Since Ronderu lij Kummar was Spared by the Adaptation, Jai Sheelal didn't experience the tragedy that transformed him into his "Grievous" persona. As a result, Sheelal was in a more reasonable mood than his Legends counterpart and was more open to negotiating a compromise with Obi-Wan. Hilariously, they end up in an Odd Friendship, which distinctly bemuses Ben. Ben being the one to free Jango Fett from his enslavement by spice smugglers leads to Jango becoming Obi-Wan's mentor for a month. Jango later "rescues" Bo-Katan from the Death Watch and adopts her as his daughter with the intention of training her as his successor. Ben assigning Obi-Wan to research every Jedi temple leads to Obi-Wan's discovery that the Jedi Order is slowly dying. This is later made public with the Kenobi Report and is the start of a series of major reforms the Jedi Order undertakes. Adults are allowed to join the Order, Jedi masters are permitted to take more than one Padawan learner, and the Jedi Order eventually breaks away from the Republic as a whole and becomes an independent organization. As of chapter 10 of Mirage, Satine is pregnant. By Obi-Wan. In Coronation, Ben kills Palpatine on Naboo leaving Darth Plagueis as the only Sith Lord in the galaxy and the one who will become the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. It also means that Ben will unwittingly become Plagueis' new apprentice.

Ben's intent was to have Krell eventually lose his temper and expose his vulnerability to the Dark Side. This succeeded too well, since Krell winds up going past the Rage Breaking Point and completely falls to the Dark Side in an effort to kill Ben. Part of the problem, it's noted, is that Ben was enjoying it a bit too much. After Ben is captured by the Death Watch, Jango has their underground base destroyed... only to then learn from a younger Pre Vizla that the base he just blew up was where Ben was being imprisoned, and Ben is now trapped under deep rubble. In Tarot, Sian's attempt to help Ben fight Maul results in Maul escaping and Ben losing his leg in the process.

Queen Breha comes to the conclusion that Ben is Obi-Wan's father upon seeing the clear resemblance between the two, leading to a lot of bafflement on Obi-Wan's part when Breha and Bail start treating him not just as their friend's Padawan, but his son. Jango Fett also comes to suspect the same thing until Ben reveals the truth, as do a lot of other Mandalorians, and think they just can't say because of the Jedi's rules about attachment. Ben's attitude is it's "one absurdity to cover another". Obi-Wan's is unclear. At the end of Minding the Gap, Adi Gallia also comes to the same assumption after finally noticing the unmistakable resemblance between Ben, Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan's daughter Korkie. Likewise, when Healer Essja Chias discovers that Ben and Obi-Wan share the same DNA, he assumes they are Long Lost Siblings. Because there is no record of Ben's existence, many Jedi assume that he's a former Shadow. Since this is simpler than the truth, Ben decides to roll with it.

His characterization of an Ideal Hero was just his desire for approval getting cranked up to eleven.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_8930448	comment	Soldier vs. Warrior: This is the initial problem that Ben and Jango face while training their Mandalorian army in Sa Sarad — the Mando'ade are peerless commandoes and work very well in small groups, but they're not very good at working together on an institutional level as a military, whereas the Death Watch's brutal Drill Sergeant Nasty training has resulted in soldiers who work together. Ben takes steps to resolve this, including enforcing a limited mixing of units rather than just ordering them by clan (if nothing else, different clans specialise in different things), and recruiting the men and women who in his timeline trained the GAR.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_89b8822f	comment	Go Mad from the Revelation: It's hinted on more than one occasion that Ben's extraordinary understanding of the Force comes from spending several years on the edge of insanity on Tatooine. He eventually manages to replicate the results with Obi-Wan, but without Obi-Wan going insane. Quinlan ends up falling to the Dark Side after he uses his Psychometry on Ben's old lightsaber and gets overwhelmed by Ben's memories from the future. This also causes Quinlan to experience a Loss of Identity since his memories get merged with the memories of his future self, Ben, Anakin, Ahsoka, Ventress, and Maul. Once they're sealed off, he manages much more easily, and eventually, they're erased on Dathomir, though he retains both a loose link to the Dark Side and a vague awareness of what he lost from some of the conversations he remembers.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_8e20979	comment	The whole climax of the Coronation arc is, without question, the biggest Wham Episode to date in the series. Obi-Wan and Sian learn that Senator Palpatine is the Sith Lord responsible for destroying the Jedi Order in the Bad Future Ben came from. After an entire series of build-up, Ben exposes Palpatine's true nature as a Sith during PadmÃ©'s coronation and engages him in a duel that gets publicly broadcasted to the entire galaxy. The most shocking moment comes in Chapter 21, where Ben kills Palpatine. Finally, it turns out that Palpatine is not the Big Bad of the series. That distinction instead goes to his master Darth Plagueis, who has Ben kidnapped from the hospital with the intention of making him Palpatine's replacement.

Even with the knowledge that Palpatine is a Sith Lord, Ben is unable to do anything about him and can't even warn the other Jedi without risking the Senate turning against them. When Ben finally exposes Palpatine as a Sith to the public and executes him, he almost immediately discovers that Palpatine's master Plagueis was still alive, meaning that killing Palpatine did nothing to stop the Sith's actual plans and all Ben accomplished was revealing his existence to Plagueis and get himself abducted.

He then pressures Palpatine into revealing his Force powers by subtly threatening to kill him once they are alone, and then uses Force illusions to make it seem as though Palpatine attacked first, justifying Ben's use of violent force against the Senator. After defeating the Sith in a duel, Ben Force-chokes Palpatine before decapitating him while ignoring his attempts to surrender.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_92f674e5	comment	Revenge: As the series goes on, it tragically becomes apparent that Ben is primarily driven by his desire for revenge against the Sith as well as anyone else he deems responsible for destroying his life. Ben humiliated and beat Pong Krell with the intention of making him Fall to the Dark Side, ruining the latter's life as payback for the way his future self treated the clone troopers Ben left under his command. During his fight with a younger Darth Maul, Ben uses his desire for revenge against canon!Maul to fuel his attacks and takes satisfaction from seeing him in pain. Sian sensed that all Ben wanted to do was hurt Maul and one of the first feelings Ben had when Sian interfered in their duel was bitter resentment at the idea of having his Vengeance Denied. Nowhere else is this more clear than during the climax of Coronation, when Ben finally fights Darth Sidious in a no holds barred duel. Throughout the fight, Ben savors the fear in Sidious's eyes as he slowly overpowers him and finishes his mental And This Is for... speech with "This is for me". He then derives pleasure from Force-choking the Sith while watching him writhe around on the floor in pain. When Obi-Wan pleads with Ben to spare Palpatine's life and take him into custody, Ben feels anger at being "pulled away from a vengeance that is rightfully his to take."

Most of Ben's efforts are geared towards reforming the Jedi Order and depriving the Sith of their future pawns. Any time the Sith do choose to get involved, it's through proxies such as the Trade Federation, the Senate, and Temple's Bane, the sole exceptions being Palpatine sabotaging Obi-Wan's lightsaber and Maul being dispatched to assassinate Adonai Kryze, among others. Ben internally notes that this is largely because of the Sith's obsessive devotion to their own discretion — hence why Obi-Wan didn't just vanish one day when they had the option to try and Make It Look Like an Accident.

She was never sincere in returning to the Light Side and only became Dooku's Padawan again because she wanted to string him along into believing that he could redeem her, just to make him suffer with the realization that he failed. She secretly relishes being the leader of the Bando Gora and her "rescue" by Dooku and Jango was unwanted, with Dooku being unable to tell how Fallen she truly was due to a combination of her being in a drugged state and Dooku letting his own guilt cloud his judgement. This is played with a little as Komari genuinely has grown fond of Sian and her fear of being rejected by Dooku a second time shows that a part of her still pines for his approval.

Aside from continuing to hone his skills in lightsaber combat, he also acquires new Force powers like emerald lightning and Nightsister magick. As of Coronation, Ben has become stronger than Palpatine and he describes overpowering the latter to be easier than he expected.

In Chapter 2 of Minding the Gap, Fay explains how even being in the mere presence of a Sith is "emotionally and spiritually and psychologically" dangerous for a Jedi since the Darkness radiating off a Sith can easily leech through into a Jedi, twisting their emotions and severely impairing their judgment. In Chapter 16 of Coronation, we see this happen to Ben as he spends more time near Palpatine during PadmÃ©'s coronation. As all the stress and frustration from failing to find any evidence that Palpatine is a Sith piles up, a single whisper from the Dark Side is all it takes to push Ben past the Rage Breaking Point as he impulsively decides to do away with the subterfuge and directly confront Palpatine in the middle of a crowded ballroom.

However, over the course of the series, several individuals also discover that Ben is from the future. Following the events of the Remembrance trilogy, Quinlan Vos discovers Ben's true identity after using his Psychometry on Ben's old lightsaber, though it's unclear whether he remembers after his mind is cleansed in Night. After the Council discovers that Ben suffers from TSR (what they call PTSD in-universe) they assign a Soul Healer to him. The Healer, Ylar Kala, is told the truth about Ben in order to properly give him therapy. Master Fay finds out Ben's secret after sensing her future self's Force presence from Ben. Sian Jeisel is initially a Secret Secret-Keeper until Night. She figures out that Ben is from the future after seeing how Ben is familiar with Xanatos Du Crion despite the latter claiming to have never met Ben. She also figures out that Qui-Gon was originally Ben's master based on how well Ben knows him — and his palpable issues with him, combined with the occasional uncomfortable remark that Qui-Gon reminds him very much of his Master. As of Sa Sarad, Jango Fett is also added to the small list of people who know Ben's secret. Shaâ€™me, Bo-Katan, and later Jango are amongst the few who know that Satine is pregnant.

Whereas Palpatine was a popular senator who used his good reputation to his advantage, Plagueis prefers to slink in the background while keeping a much lower profile. Outside his public persona, Palpatine was a cackling, incredibly hammy psychopath who took a perverse pleasure in inflicting pain and reveled in being Drunk on the Dark Side. In contrast, Plagueis is unemotional to the point where it's uncanny and almost always speaks with a veneer of politeness. While Palpatine (or at least his future self) orchestrated nearly every tragic event in Ben's backstory and is viewed by Ben as his arch-enemy, Plagueis is someone whom Ben shares no prior personal connection with and knows very little about. Furthermore, Palpatine barely acknowledged Ben's existence whereas Plagueis almost immediately became intrigued by Ben and attempted to coerce him into becoming his new apprentice.

Healer Ni Hiella describes him as a "sock drawer in a trash compactor". He eventually has to have multiple organs grown and replaced, based on samples of Obi-Wan's DNA because Ben's is just too corrupted. Following Sidious' assassination attempt, Obi-Wan's wrist is severely damaged and he has to wear a brace for the remainder of the series and deals with recurring pains. Due to a combination of old age, being stranded on a primitive jungle planet with no access to modern medicine, and physical stress from constantly fighting pirates, Master Ky Narec is this when we finally meet him.

Serra Keto, a boss from the Revenge of the Sith video game, is featured as a tertiary character in Ripples and Sa Sarad. Master Fay goes from being a One-Shot Character in the Legends continuity to a recurring character and is eventually promoted to being Ben's love interest. In both Canon and Legends, Darth Plagueis is Palpatine's former master who he killed and usurped in his backstory. Here, instead of simply being an unseen Predecessor Villain, Plagueis plays a more active role as the series' true Big Bad after Palpatine is killed by Ben.

In Remembrance: Part II, Mace Windu asks Quinlan if there's anything important from Ben's future that he should know about.

In Remembrance, Plo Koon explains to Ben the basics behind the technique. This ability proves to be extremely useful in Lineage, when Ben generates a storm of Emerald lightning in order to save his Padawan from being executed by the Death Watch. In Night, Obi-Wan's sand exercise comes in very handy when he and Ben are about to be fired upon in a gladiatorial arena. He and Ben use the Force to create a massive sandstorm that not only absorbs all the blaster bolts but completely demolishes the arena itself in the process.

Upon reading her draft, Bultar (believing the bit about time travel to be something Sian made up) questions whether it's appropriate to publish the novel given the "creative liberties" Sian took with a Jedi Master's personal life. After her first novel becomes an instant bestseller, Sian goes on to author an entire holonovella series which retells Ben and Obi-Wan's various adventures. Obi-Wan is especially mortified to discover that Sian had PadmÃ© draw dramatic artwork for the books, artwork that depicts a red-haired teenage Jedi that is clearly himself with only the barest of cosmetic changes. It seems that the books are especially popular amongst teenage girls, hence why the cover art for the second holonovel features Obi-Wan shirtless. The next time Obi-Wan visits Satine, he's embarrassed to see a poster for Sian's novels hung up in her room. By Coronation, Sian's novels have become so popular that even Adi Gallia is shown listening to an audiobook adaptation in her spare time.

One bout has five knights unsuccessfully attempt to gang up on Ben, who finds it almost adorable — as in, he takes one out almost immediately with his sabre, then beats the crap out of the rest with his bare hands. Since there was no rule saying that you had to fight with lightsabers, Ni Hiella defeats Ben by knocking him out with a sedative. Lastly, there was no written rule that the challenger needed to be a Jedi. Jango Fett becomes Obi-Wan's mentor after beating Ben in a street brawl.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_be0ad6b7	comment	Used to Be a Sweet Kid: In-Universe example with the attitude of the Jedi Council, and most others who know, about Ben's true origins. After all, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a hard-working young Initiate/Padawan, with a kind heart that he wears on his sleeve, no pretensions or secrets to him, and the potential to be an exemplary Jedi. Ben Naasade is very secretive, both passively and actively manipulative, a terrifyingly driven master warrior who's unnaturally at home on the battlefield, suffering from horrifying PTSD on his good days and is probably best described by Windu's internal monologue as "a half-mad time-travelling hermit", with an attitude to morality that can kindly be described as 'pragmatic', an eerie understanding of the Force, far too great a knowledge about everyone from Initiates to Masters for anyone's comfort, and a deeply unnerving streak of cold-blooded ruthlessness. As one of them says plainly, "I never imagined we could lose Obi-Wan Kenobi so badly." Sian Jeisel, a friend of Obi-Wan's who figures it out through their mutual connection to Qui-Gon Jinn, observes that there's barely fragments of the boy she knows in Ben. Another In-Universe example when Ben meets a younger Asajj Ventress. He finds it heartbreaking to see that the Sith assassin he fought during the Clone Wars used to be a happy girl with a loving father.

Fay mentions that the two were so closely connected that they were practically inseparable both on and off the battlefield. Palma's death caused Miraj to go off the deep end and fall to the Dark Side.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_c5ccf60f	comment	Internal Reveal: During the two year time skip between Coronation and Haunting, the Jedi Council finally made it public that the Sith were alive and likely behind Ben's disappearance. This gets a mixed response from the rest of the Order. Half of them cautiously accept the claims but remain skeptical since they had grown up being taught that the Sith were extinct. The other half (mostly those who've always distrusted or disliked Ben) sided with the Senate and assume that the Council is merely trying to cover up the fact that Ben murdered an innocent senator, fell to the Dark Side, and went on the run to avoid facing justice. Chapter 18 has Quinlan discover Komari Vosa was the leader of the Bando Gora after using his psychometry on one of their assassins sent by Komari to kill him. Chapter 21 sees Aayla, Che, and Bant also make the same discovery when Komari tries to kill Quinlan while he's hospitalized and reveals her Sith-yellow eyes.

In Chapter 16 of Coronation, we see this happen to Ben as he spends more time near Palpatine during PadmÃ©'s coronation. As all the stress and frustration from failing to find any evidence that Palpatine is a Sith piles up, a single whisper from the Dark Side is all it takes to push Ben past the Rage Breaking Point as he impulsively decides to do away with the subterfuge and directly confront Palpatine in the middle of a crowded ballroom.

Due to Ben's Jedi past, almost none of Jango's warriors respect him and Ben even muses that many of them are probably thinking of ways to kill him in an "accident". It's just as worse amongst the Mandalorians themselves, as Jango's army is a mixing pot consisting of warriors from dozens of different clans, many of whom have long-running feuds with each other. Mercifully, it gets better over time, as Ben proves he's as Mandalorian as anyone else, he's Crazy and Awesome — with emphasis on the 'crazy', even by Mandalorian standards — and that he's genuinely a very good commander.

Most of Ben's accusers believe that Obi-Wan's trying to cover for his master due to his previous insecurities.

At the beginning of Ruin, both Adi Gallia and Tahl criticize Ben for bringing Obi-Wan on a mission to a planet in the middle of a violent genocide. In True Colors, Jango Fett calls out Ben for bringing a thirteen-year-old Obi-Wan with him on a dangerous mission against spice smugglers (the Super-Commando Code bans combat for anyone under 14). Ben retorts that it wasn't supposed to be dangerous, and as soon as it became dangerous, he sent Obi-Wan to hide in the vents. Obi-Wan was just (un)lucky enough to fall out of the vents head-first into an epic amount of spice, right in front of Fett. In Mirage, Lady Livion criticizes Obi-Wan for feeling guilty about accidentally removing Qui-Gon's Force sensitivity, rather than just being grateful that he was able to prevent Qui-Gon from dying. Obi-Wan counters by pointing out that some would consider being Force blind to be a Fate Worse than Death.

He is totally blindsided by the discovery that Palpatine was still the apprentice while Darth Plagueis was the real master. The fact that Ben never once considered this is a little surprising given that this was the very reason he originally didn't try to take down Palpatine at the start of the series. Though given his encounter with Maul in Tarot, it's likely that he assumed Palpatine had already usurped his master by then and was training Maul to be his successor.

Aayla is a fourteen-year-old Padawan facing off against an adult darksider that outclasses her completely. She's alone and no one else knows where she is since she snuck out of her quarters in the middle of the night. Komari is also holding her lightsaber directly over Quinlan's body, the unspoken threat being that she will kill him if Aayla tries to fight or scream for help. Aayla is told that if she hands over her lightsaber and allows herself to be "put to sleep", then no one will be harmed. Aayla pretends to comply with Komari's demands and tricks her into leaving Quinlan's side. Once Quinlan is no longer in range of Komari's lightsaber, Aayla proceeds to grab Quinlan's lightsaber and immediately attacks Komari while screaming into the Force, alerting Bant and Che to what's happening.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_e003c829	comment	History Repeats: In Tarot, Ben once again finds himself duelling a younger Darth Maul alongside Qui-Gon and being forced to watch as Maul impales Qui-Gon with his lightsaber. Fortunately, Obi-Wan saves Qui-Gon's life using the magick he learned from the Nightsisters. Unfortunately, Maul still escapes because of Sian's Unwanted Assistance (also partly because Ben's a little too interested in making him suffer) — though since he ends up on Dathomir, largely dismembered, that's not much of an escape. After several books of hinting, it's eventually revealed in Passage that Ben's scars and unresolved issues with Qui-Gon (in his timeline) are paralleled by Qui-Gon's own issues resulting from his time with his Master, Dooku. While they're noted to have some friction, it's laid bare when Qui-Gon finally reveals why he's so reluctant to push the envelope after the loss of his ability to sense the Force, and, indeed, in general. It is not, as even Ben assumed, a fear of failure. It's not the effort, but the vulnerability — a fear of "disappointment and shame." For someone raised by a taskmaster as rigidly dignified and demanding as Dooku, it is both understandable and heartbreaking, explaining so many of this Qui-Gon's issues with Sian, and the original Qui-Gon's issues with Ben/Ben's issues with Qui-Gon.

This is quickly noticed by Obi-Wan's friends, who start to worry about him and pass on their concerns to their masters. This leads to Ben getting a bad rep as a mentor with many Jedi viewing his training to be a form a child abuse and some even going as far as to demand that Obi-Wan be removed from Ben's tutelage entirely. This then gets reconstructed as people realize that Ben is pushing Obi-Wan as far as he can go and no further, that the training is actually working spectacularly well, and that there's a reason he's pushing Obi-Wan.

When he finally confronts Sidious at the end of Coronation, he finds to his surprise and vicious glee that since Sidious has not had three years of the galactic-scale horror of the Clone Wars to feed off, he's not by any means the powerhouse that he was in Ben's time. He's a frighteningly powerful Sith Lord, a true monster... but he isn't anything more than that. As a result, Ben beats him and kills him.

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_e6b8db89	comment	Deconstruction Fic: The series deconstructs many aspects of the Clone Wars by expanding upon the Fridge Horror moments and depicts it as if it actually happened in Real Life, rather than in a cartoon for kids. Obi-Wan Kenobi's Action Hero status during the Clone Wars gets deconstructed when Healer Hiella's examination shows the extent of the damage that Ben's past adventures have left on his body. Aside from being Covered in Scars from the countless scrapes he's been in, Ben's entire skeletal system is riddled with fracture lines due to breaking his bones so often. It turns out that being regularly involved in life-or-death situations isn't good for one's physical health. In Sa Sarad, Ben finally acknowledges the clone troopers for what they truly were: child slave soldiers. The average clone trooper was six years old chronologically and they were forced to fight with little choice in the matter. Why did the Jedi accept command of the clone army? To protect the clones, who had no rights in a government that saw them as subhuman Cannon Fodder. Jedi are not meant to be soldiers. At the start of the Clone Wars, most Jedi had never seen sustained combat on a galactic scale before. They were given no time to prepare and knew nothing about running a military. The first few battles went exactly as you'd expect, with the clones getting massacred in droves due to the Jedi's inexperienced leadership. It was actually the clone commanders who were responsible for the Republic's victories, yet they never received any credit due to the Senate's Fantastic Racism. Even when the Jedi eventually did get their act together, all the strategies and tactics they used were taught to them by the clones. The Jedi padawans were little more than glorified Child Soldiers who were tossed into the middle of the battlefield and saw the horrors of war firsthand. This was especially horrific considering that the reason many parents give up their children is because of the Jedi's promise to keep them safe. The fic really goes out of its way to show the impact the Clone Wars had on Obi-Wan. Ben Naasade's character shows more or less how Obi-Wan would have actually turned out following the events of Episode III. Rather than a Cool Old Master, you end up with someone who appears to be that (albeit in his mid-thirties to begin with), but who also happens to be a Shell-Shocked Veteran with deep-seated psychological scars underneath the thin facade.

This was also the source of Anakin's resentment towards Obi-Wan, as he became envious that Obi-Wan was constantly being heaped praise upon by the Council, while he was being alienated by them. The fanfic also deconstructs Obi-Wan's Fatal Flaw as a Principles Zealot. Similar to the previous example, Obi-Wan's strict adherence toward the Jedi Code came as the result of being a Yes-Man driven by a fear of rejection. He actually can see the bigger picture and is well aware that the Jedi's teachings can sometimes be wrong. However, he still supported all of the Council's decisions, even when he knew they were wrong. The New Mandalorians deconstruct Actual Pacifists. Given that the Mandalorians are by and large a Proud Warrior Race in the middle of a Civil War, the New Mandalorians' refusal to contribute to the war effort makes them The Load for their allies. Also, because they see any act of violence as evil, they oppose their own allies just as much as their enemies, further weakening Mandalore's already unstable government. Finally, itâ€™s pointed out that while pacifism is a noble principle, it only works if the other side is honorable enough to not strike down an unarmed opponent. Seeing as how the "other side" is the Death Watch, the New Mandaloriansâ€™ ideals end up coming across as both ignorant and naÃ¯ve.

Who wouldn't kill for those they love, steal to feed them, etcetera? And considering how powerful the Jedi are capable of being, and how much power the Dark Side offers in that regard, it's very easy to go from 'best intentions' to 'fully fledged monster' very quickly. Shmi admits that he has a point, remarking that the Jedi fear what they could be, and notes that if Ben had only been able to free one of them, she'd have let him take Anakin for that reason. Lady Livion was originally a Jedi Knight who was part of a Battle Couple alongside her wife Palma. Palmaâ€™s death left Livion grief-stricken and drove her to the Dark Side.

In Legends, Obi-Wan was Childhood Friends with Taria and they grew up together during their early years in the Jedi Temple. Here, Taria was raised in the Corellian Jedi Temple and she meets Obi-Wan for the first time as teenagers in Deliverance. In Ben's timeline, the Great Clan Wars of Mandalore were started by the assassination of Adonai Kryze, as opposed to Kryze's death happening during the wars like in Legends.

Ben quickly realizes his mistake and apologizes, telling Yoda that he's got time left. In Remembrance: Part II, Maceâ€™s attempt to protect Obi-Wan from scrutiny by pressuring him into answering the Councilâ€™s questions about Ben comes across as this to Obi-Wan since it shows that the Council has already decided that Ben is dangerous and believes that Obi-Wan needs to be protected from him.
