Damn sad ending.

The detailed Star Wars setting is wasted on me, I can take it or leave it. The story was beautiful, epic in fact. It's only sad in that the sisters give up on changing the unjust world they leave behind, but they finally live their own happily ever after.

Great writing. I think that it could have been split into two parts. Short chapters are great just before you fall asleep!

I wrote this story a long time ago, when I was a much sadder person. This story is a reflection of that. It is also a kind of dark mirror (no pun intentional) to my later scifi series Long Haul. Long Haul benefitted from the experience I gained writing this, even though the Star Wars style of scifi here is very different from the The Expanse style I would emulate there. I walked here so I could run there

This story was, from the outset, an exploration of writing a small story within Star Wars, which necessitated no large scale changes. I wanted my story to be able to fit into canon that is controlled by others, but most importantly I wanted to use Star Wars-specific politics, philosophy, and setting to tell a story about the nature of taboo. The mission statement precluded these two fixing injustice on a broad scale.

The opening scene of Episode 1, with Toberin and Sheefa, reads very differently when the scope of his grooming is part of the picture. Although Sheefa is later uncomfortable with her treatment at Vaux'avh's hands, her eyes are open.

My hope was that Sheefa's position in both relationships highlights the differences between taboo and abuse, all wrapped up in lightsaber duels and space opera action.

Thank you for your kind words

Intense ….. to much violence to much hate to much of the things we have in RL too ….. the tale was fantastic as i had to read all three chapters today, but betrayal is a fact i hate with passion and this was so on top of all in this tale ….. fighting for the power, becoming somebody with power and keeping it even paying every price ….. darth veder was a jedi and the dark side took over, you followed this and patched an own tale which was intriguing but in the end it had to end like the hollywood tale, tragedy
