***
In the bowls of a pirate ship, chained in cells were several people of varying ages and species.
One of which was a young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Bruises and several scratches covering his body the boy laid motionless, his breathing ragged. His life rapidly fading.
Then a few minutes later the boys body completely stilled.
But that only lasted for a second before it immediately came back to life. His eyes shooting open the boy in question sat up and gritted his teeth. While images flashed through his minds eyes.
"Agh!!!"
He screamed.
Bringing both hands up to either side of his head as the images flashed faster and faster through his minds eyes. Each one of them accompanied by increasing amounts of pain.
Then just as rapidly as the images, and the pain associated with them began, all of a sudden both simultaneously stopped.
When they did the boy removed his hands from the side of his head. A calmness now having taken over him.
Despite the fact that he now found himself with two sets of memories.
Yes, that's right. Two set of memories.
The first set of memories belonging to a young man named Aelius Sunrider. An eight year old boy who spent his entire life growing up on the Outer Rim planet of Dantooine, in an orphanage, run by a strict but fare matron.
Until was was attacked and destroyed by raiders, who had captured Aelius and several other orphans, in order to sell them as slave labor. Which he knew because the raiders themselves had told him and his fellow orphans after their capture. Relishing in their fearful expressions.
Meanwhile the second set of memories Aelius now found himself with belonged to a 30 year old man named Chris, who lived on a planet called Earth. Where he was an ordinary guy, who lived an ordinary life. Who was really into his hobbies that involved things known as anime, manga, videogames, and science fiction franchises, Chris's favorite being a series known as Star Wars.
Which when Aelius started thinking of realized it exactly depicted the place he called home.
"Holy shit." Aelius muttered.
Now realizing the franchise known as Star Wars was about his galaxy. Depicting events throughout it over a long period of time.
"What?! No, this is...it's insane." Aelius muttered to himself. His mind having trouble reconciling the fact his home was thought of nothing more than a fictional place somewhere else.
As this happened one of the raiders, who was on guard duty, walked up to Aelius' cell and kicked on its bars. Forcing the young man to look in the guys direction.
"Hey brat, be quiet!" The raider snarled. "Or perhaps you need a reminder of your place." The man said.
The raider then push a viscous grin on his face as he pressed a button his belt.
A second after he did Aelius found himself being electrocuted.
Due to the collar around his neck.
Just like all the raiders other captives were wearing.
"Agh!!!"
Aelius began to scream. His body convulsing on the floor, him unable to stop it.
It was only the raider who was electrocuting him who could.
And after a few minutes he did.
Once this occurred Aelius found himself twitching slightly on the floor of the cell, anger boiling up inside of him. All of it directed at the raider.
Who when noticing Aelius' look placed his finger over the electrocution button once more. "It looks like you didn't learn your lesson brat. Good thing I'm a patient teacher." The raider spoke. He then began electrocuting Aelius again.
Enjoying his screams of agony.
Meanwhile Aelius began thinking of nothing but killing the raider in front of him.
So much so he didn't even realize he began to subconsciously draw upon the most well-known power associated with the Star Wars universe.
The Force.
Despite the immense pain he was in from the constant electrocution.
But that in fact only fueled Aelius' actions in drawing upon the Force.
Which answered his call pertaining to his thoughts of killing the raider in front of him. In the form of a powerful Force shockwave that slammed directly into the raider and sent him flying backwards. Until he crashed into the wall behind him and his head shattered open like a watermelon. His brains beginning to leak all over the floor.
As this happened Aelius worked to control his breathing, happy the electrocution he was suffering from ended.
Then a few seconds later, after he got his bearings, his focused all his attention on what just happened with him and the raider.
"Wait, did I just do that?" Aelius asked himself.
*Boom!*
Though before he had time to contemplate his personal question he heard a loud explosion echo through the ship.
"Great. What the hell is happening now?!" Aelius muttered.
Clicking his tongue in irritation.
Given he had just gotten out of a bad situation and now something else was kicking off.
As he wondered what it might be he suddenly heard another explosion, and then another, until he heard yet another. But this time almost right next to him.
With the doors to the holding area being blown apart.
After they were Aelius, along with all the other prisoners of the raiders, moved to the front of their cells to see what was happening.
When they did they saw a cloaked figured slowly walking through the doors, holding a blue energy sword in their left hand.
One which Aelius immediately recognized as a lightsaber.
The go-to weapon for many force-sensitives in the Star Wars universe. But most generally the Jedi and their counterparts the Sith.
'A real lightsaber.' Aelius thought.
Leading him to grin like a maniac, despite the situation. Since the memories of Chris, who had loved Star Wars since he was a kid, came rushing to the forefront of his mind after seeing the lightsaber.
"Are you a Jedi?"
"Are you here to rescue us?"
"Please, help us."
But those thoughts were interrupted due to the pleas he suddenly began hearing from his fellow captives aimed at the cloaked lightsaber wielding figure.
Who instead of responding to the questions aimed at them reached up and pulled down their hood, revealing their face.
One which Aelius recognized as none other than the Kel Dor Jedi known as Plo Koon.
[Insert Image of Plo Koon Here]
"Worry not, for I have come to help you all." He spoke.
Though Aelius noticed Plo Koon staring at him when he did.
Wondering what the hell it was all about?
***
A few minutes ago...
Boarding the raider ship, with some allies from the Republic Judicial Forces, which he had been tracking for a few months now, Plo Koon suddenly stopped in his tracks.
For he felt a sudden and major shift in the Force itself.
Around the same time Aelius awakened with two sets of memories.
And Plo Koon wasn't the only one to feel this major shift in the Force either.
***
[Jedi Temple, Coruscant]
Deep in meditation in his personal quarters Jedi Grand Master Yoda eyes suddenly snapped open as he felt himself forced out of it.
[Insert Image of Yoda Here]
The other Jedi around the temple feeling the same shift. No matter if they were masters or simple initiates.
***
[Naboo]
In his personal residence Sheev Palpatine, also known as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious stopped eating his evening meal. Sensing the change in the Force.

"Interesting." Sidious mused to himself.
***
[Unknown Location]
In one of his numerous secret laboratories the Muun Hego Damask II, also known as the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis stopped working on the project in front of him and immediately turned his attention upwards, in the direction of the stars.
[Insert Image of Hego Damask II/Darth Plagueis Here]
"Such a powerful shit in the Force. I must know the cause." Plagueis said to himself.
For he needed to determine if this would affect the plans he had set in motion.
***
Coming out of his stupor, due to the immense shift in the Force, Plo Koon quickly regained his bearings.
'What was that?'
Though he couldn't help but wonder what had just caused such a powerful change.
But before he could think more on it the raiders reached his and the judicial forces position and began attacking them.
Faced with this Plo Koon did away with unnecessary thoughts and began focusing slowly on the battle in front of him.
"Stay behind me and follow." He spoke. Quickly empowering himself with the Force as he removed his lightsaber from his belt and ignited it.
Once he did Plo Koon began advancing like a hurricane.
His movement forward unstoppable by the raiders. No matter if they tried to shoot him blasters or attack him with melee weapons. Plo Koon mowed them all down. Not wasting any actions.
Until eventually he reached the holding area where the captives were.
Bursting through the door he began reaching out towards reach of them with the Fore to assess their direction.
That is until he got to Aelius.
Who too Plo Koon looked like a shining flare within the Force.
'So, this boy was the cause.' Plo Koon thought.
Instinctively realizing Aelius was the cause of the shift in the Force he felt earlier.
Now the only question Plo Koon had was why?
Which was a question he would get an answer to in the years to come.
