Perhaps a fanfic where Leia discovers some long - lost diaries of Padme. As she reads them, she gets to know her mother on a more personal level and it gives her strength and new insights into her own identity and purpose.
One idea could be a story where Padme's spirit somehow guides Leia throughout her life in the Rebellion. Leia could have visions of her mother's wisdom, which helps her make crucial decisions.
One idea could be a time - travel plot where Luke and Leia are sent back in time and meet their parents, Anakin and Padme, before Anakin's fall to the dark side. They try to prevent the events that led to the rise of the Empire.
In a fanfic, their relationship could be explored by having Leia search for information about Padme. This journey of discovery could reveal how much they are alike, and also how Padme's legacy has influenced Leia's life and choices.
Maybe in the fanfic, Padme discovers a time - travel device and decides to use it to go back in time to when Anakin was still a young Jedi. She hopes to change the course of his life and prevent his turn to the dark side. Luke and Leia, sensing something is wrong with the timeline, follow her. Once there, they have to navigate the complex politics and relationships of that era while also trying to keep their true identities a secret. This could lead to all sorts of interesting interactions and plot twists.
One idea could be a story that focuses on Anakin's internal struggle between his love for Padme and his fall to the dark side as Darth Vader, while Luke and Leia unknowingly grow up in the shadow of their father's actions. It could explore how their lives might have been different if Anakin had not turned, and how they eventually come to terms with his true identity.
A possible plot is a fanfic where Anakin, in his Darth Vader form, has a vision of a different future where he didn't lose Padme. This vision makes him question his loyalty to the dark side. Meanwhile, Luke and Leia are on a mission to rescue their father from the clutches of the Emperor. The story could be filled with emotional reunions and battles between the light and dark forces.
Here's another idea. Suppose there's a threat to the galaxy that can only be stopped by using a long - lost technique that Padme knew about. Luke and Leia, with the help of Anakin's spirit, embark on a quest to find out about this technique. They face many challenges, including political intrigue and dark side threats, all while coming to terms with their family's complex history.
One possibility could be a time - travel plot. Maybe Padme somehow gets a glimpse into the future and meets Leia. They could bond over their shared experiences of being strong female leaders in a galaxy full of challenges. Padme might see in Leia the kind of woman she hoped her daughter would become, and Leia could gain wisdom from Padme's past experiences in the Senate and in the Clone Wars.
Perhaps a fanfic that delves into the time when Anakin was on the cusp of turning to the dark side. Padme could sense the change in him and tries to prevent it with the help of Luke and Leia from the future who somehow travel back in time. This would create a complex web of relationships and a race against time to save Anakin from the dark side.
The idea of redemption is a big one. Darth Vader's redemption at the end of Return of the Jedi is a powerful moment, and fanfics often expand on this. They might explore what led to his final choice, or how his family influenced his decision. Additionally, the exploration of the Force and how it connects all these characters is another common theme. It could be about how Luke and Leia develop their Force abilities differently, or how Anakin's relationship with the Force changed over time.
One idea could be exploring how Leia manages her pregnancy while still being involved in the fight against the Empire. Maybe she has to hide it from the enemy at first. Another could be how Han Solo reacts to the news and how he takes on the role of a soon - to - be father in a galaxy full of chaos.
