[Jedi Temple, Coruscant, Galactic City, 40 BBY]
Opening my eyes I heard my heartbeat in my ears. Breathing heavily I felt a rush of adrenaline throughout my entire body.
Several minutes passed before my body settled down.
Then immediately after it did so I felt an intense pain my head.
Images flashed across my vision.
But as quickly as it started it stopped, and once it did I felt a tranquility settle over my entire being.
I also came to understand the images that flashed across my vision weren't simply images. No, they were memories.
My memories.
The memories I gained by living the first eight years of my life here in the Star Wars universe, completely and utterly unaware of my past life.
To put it simply it looks like I was reincarnated in the Star Wars universe with the memories of my previous life locked, and once I reached the age I selected to reincarnate as they unlocked.
Because just yesterday was my eighth birthday in this new life of mine.
Taking a moment I processed all of this.
Then once I did so I reviewed the memories of my first eight years of life here in the Star Wars universe to get a handle on my current circumstances.
In doing so I quickly learned several important things.
First off, my name.
It is Van Sunrider, just like I selected it to be during the reincarnation process.
A fact which I am glad about. Since although that weird reincarnation system seemed trustworthy I still had a few doubts. That's why I had to double check it didn't do anything weird like I read some systems like that do in fanficitons on webnovel in my previous life.
Second, it looks like I am a member of the famous Sunrider Jedi family.
It was confirmed long ago by the people at the place I am currently residing in.
The Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

On that note I move on to important fact number three.
I am force-sensitive, and am currently undergoing training to become a full-fledged Jedi.
Upon learning this fact from my new memories I couldn't help but put a smile on my face.
Since now I can live my childhood dream and wield Force.
And speaking of the Force...
Letting the smile drop from my face I closed my eyes and then began concentrating. A few minutes after I did so I felt it. An invisible, untouchable, vast presence. One that surrounded and encompassed everything that existed. Whether living or non-living.
The Force.
'Amazing.' I thought. Feeling the Force around me.
It's like my entire body is immersed in an infinite pool of water.
I don't really have a better explanation for what I am feeling right now.
Staying with my senses open to the Force I suddenly pulled back into myself as I felt someone gently shake me.
Opening my eyes I looked in their direction and saw a boy my age. He has a highly effeminate face with silver hair and blue eyes.

Doing a quick search of my new memories I instantly recalled this boys name is Marcellus Antilles. A member of House Antilles from the planet Aldeeran. As well as one of my roommates, a member of my Jedi initiate clan, which is known as the Thranta clan, and my best friend.
"Morning Marcellus." I said. Putting a smile on my face after I did.
"Morning Van." He told me.
"Did you need something?" I asked him.
"Ah, no." He replied. "It's just everyone else was getting ready for the day and since you looked like you were still asleep I wanted to wake you up." He explained.
"Thank you." I said.
I then got up.
Once I did so Marcellus and I quickly made our respective beds.
We then got ready for the day.
After doing so we headed to the Jedi Temple mess hall with the rest of our roommates and Jedi initiate male clan members. Then upon arrival we got our meals and went to a table where we were joined by the female initiate members of our clan.
Because even with all the craziness of the Jedi they have the common sense to assign males and females different living quarters.
Digging into my breakfast I looked around at the faces of my clanmates, and looked through my new memories to see if I was currently training and forming close bonds with anyone significant from the original story.
Turns out I was.
My clanmates include Aayla Secura, Serra Keto, Nahdar Vebb, and finally Kento Marek. The father of Galen Marek, also known as Starkiller.
A fine group of clanmates in my opinion.
After figuring that out I looked through my memories to see what the exact year it was. Since that will determine the course of a lot of my actions.
Recalling the current year is 40 BBY I did a quick nod.
'Not bad at all.' I thought.
Eight years before the Naboo Crisis and close to 20 years before the Clone Wars begin.
It's not a lot of time, but not a short amount of time either. It's right in the sweet spot of time from how I am looking at it.
And what I mean by that is these next two decades I will spend my time training to become a powerful Jedi and force-user, gathering allies and building my own faction, and doing my best to fuck with Palpatine.
Because I have no intention of dying in this world for a very long time.
Nor do I plan to live in this Galaxy with Palpatine in charge, and fighting in one conflict after the next.
Nope, no way.
I will not live like that. Nor will I allow the people I come to care for live like that.
Which is why I'll do what I must to give this galaxy at least a little bit of stability.
But that's for the future.
Right now I need to focus on the present.
My clanmates and I finished our breakfast in no time.
Once we did we put our trays away to be cleaned and then headed to the training room in the temple we were assigned to.
Upon our groups arrival in front of the rooms door it opened and we all entered it.
Coming face-to-face with Yoda afer we did.
[Insert Image of Yoda Here]
Yoda.
The Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, a being who has trained the greatest Jedi of this era, and a being with hundreds of years of knowledge, experience, and skill. As well as being one of the most iconic Star Wars characters.
That is who my fellow clanmates and I are standing in front of right now.
It's taking all I have not to fanboy right now.
I mean Yoda is standing in front of me in the flesh.
Yoda!
Looking at my group Yoda smiled. "Hm. Welcome younglings, begin today's training let us." He spoke.
Speaking in that strange way only Yoda does.
"Yes, master Yoda." My clanmates and I said in unison.
We then all gathered around Yoda in a semi-circle and he began instructing us.
Which is a moment I will never ever forget.
