Well, in the fanfiction, Leia meeting Anakin could also result in a power struggle within the Force. Since both are strong in the Force, there could be a kind of tug - of - war between their different understandings of it. Anakin, with his past experiences, might try to guide Leia in a way that she doesn't immediately trust. But over time, they could learn from each other and perhaps even form an alliance against a common threat that emerges in the fanfiction.
Often, their interactions start from a place of conflict. Anakin's past actions as Vader create a barrier. However, as the story progresses, they may start to understand each other more. For example, Anakin could reveal his true self to Leia, the self that was once a good Jedi. This could lead to moments of deep connection and mutual respect between them. They might also have to work together against a common enemy, which would force them to communicate and cooperate, leading to a more developed relationship.
Their first meeting could be tense. Leia, with her fiery spirit, might stand defiantly in front of Anakin. Anakin, on the other hand, would be a complex figure, his past as Vader still lingering. He might look at Leia with a mix of pride (as she is his daughter) and guilt. There could be a long silence as they both size each other up, with the air thick with unspoken words.
Well, one possibility could be that Leia is initially shocked and angry to meet Anakin. Since she knows he became Darth Vader. But then, as she realizes he's from the past and has a chance to change, she might try to guide him away from the dark side. They could team up against some common enemies in the different time period, like the Sith who are always plotting in the shadows.
The idea of legacy is also prevalent. As Anakin was a very powerful Jedi - turned - Sith and Leia is a strong figure in the Rebel Alliance, their combined legacy is a rich area for fanfiction. Writers might explore how Leia could inherit some of Anakin's skills or how she could redefine the Skywalker legacy in a positive light.
Well, it could also change the way the Rebellion is formed. With Anakin on their side, they might have a much stronger force against the Sith. Leia and Anakin's combined knowledge of different time periods could lead to new strategies. And perhaps new alliances would form, changing the power dynamics in the Star Wars universe completely. For example, planets that were once afraid to oppose the Empire might be emboldened by Anakin's presence and join the fight earlier.
There's also 'Leia and Anakin: A New Connection'. This fanfiction focuses on how Anakin's Force presence affects Leia, even though they never really interacted directly in the original movies. It's a fascinating take on the potential influence Anakin could have had on Leia's journey.
Anakin could be angry. He might see his other self as a threat, especially if one represents his dark side and the other his light side. There could be a power struggle between the two versions of himself as they try to assert dominance over the other. Or he could be curious and eager to learn from his other self, about what he could have been or what he can still become.
In many Star Wars fanfics, the relationship between Leia, Anakin, and the concept of a 'ghost' can be really interesting. Leia is Anakin's daughter, and in some fanfics, Anakin's ghost might play a role in guiding or protecting her. For example, he could appear to her at a crucial moment, sharing some wisdom from the Force that helps her make a difficult decision. This could add a new layer of depth to their family connection that wasn't fully explored in the movies.
I really liked 'The Time - Traveling Skywalkers'. It's a story where all four characters are caught in a time - travel anomaly. They end up in different points in time relative to each other. Padme gets to see a future where her children have grown up strong despite all the hardships. Anakin has to face his past self and tries to guide him away from the dark side. Luke and Leia use their knowledge of the future to try and make the galaxy a better place in the past. It's a really engaging read.
