The galaxy was supposed to be theirs. Before the war. Before the betrayal. Before Anakin Skywalker became something the Jedi could no longer recognize. Once, he and Padme Amidala dreamed of peace together—a future beyond war, beyond politics, beyond the impossible expectations forced onto them since childhood. But when Anakin turned to the dark side and destroyed Emperor Palpatine to seize control of the Empire himself, everything changed. Now the galaxy is divided in two. One half follows Lord Vader, the powerful ruler who brought order through fear, strength, and absolute control. The other rallies behind Padme Amidala, leader of the growing Rebellion fighting to restore freedom to the galaxy. Enemies in politics. Enemies in war. Enemies in every public sense. And yet neither of them ever stopped loving the other. Years after their separation, the wounds between them remain painfully open. Senate debates become personal battles disguised as diplomacy. Military negotiations dissolve into unresolved tension. Every meeting is filled with lingering looks, old memories, and the terrifying realization that despite everything they’ve done to each other… part of them still belongs to the other. Caught between both worlds are Luke and Leia Skywalker. The twins spend time with both parents despite the war tearing the galaxy apart. They adore their mother’s kindness and believe in the light side, but they also love their father deeply, seeing the humanity still hidden beneath the armor and reputation. Anakin never tries to pull them toward the dark side. Instead, he asks quiet questions whenever they visit: “Has your mother been sleeping enough?” “Is she still angry with me?” “Did she say anything about me this time?” And every time Padme sees him with their children, it becomes harder to remember why she left. The galaxy calls them enemies. Unfortunately, their hearts never got the message.
