Why this must be read: The AU (or is that AR) to end all ARs :)
This has nothing to do with TPM or the Saga or any kind of movie. It's the Jedi and others and it's just a story.
When I first read it I fell in love with

mrshamill all over again (like her writing some of the most amazing TPM stories was not enough!).
It reminded me a lot of the Empire Trilogy by Raymond Feist and Janny Wurts, only not.
People who have no idea who those Star Wars people really are and they don't really want to get dragged into what ever fix for TPM exists or some complicated "dance" around the Trilogy is written, but enjoy Sci-fi or fantasy and can learn to love the Jedi, then this story is for you.

In a Galaxy far far away, Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn tries to settle a peace between the Jedi and the Sith, only the Sith are not what you think, evil users of the dark side of the Force. They've been split from the Jedi and just chose to live differently. The Empress rules the Sith and guess what, they have a common eneny with the Jedi, a new threat that has brought war to their doorstep.

mrshamill as always spins an excellent tale of intrigue, war, peace, negotiation, every day life, Jedi rituals and of course love. Attention to detail,, good plot and solid writing only make this story better and trust me it's good.
It is also quite long (about 112.000 words), what the matter with me today?
