HOLMES	17 Sep 2002
(given the feedback of my lightsaber as a tarot being so postive i got an idea to do the anakin story and luke story with as tarot readers, with some changes :O) ) the young boy grew up in the woods away from most utopias but he lived in a world of sickness and pain. this was because he was a slave to his father and his mom was as well. he alwasy had prophetic dreams and feeling which served his family well. then one day a tarot master came to him and showed him his deck and the boy was in awe, of the images and how the master used them. thus realizing his destiny to travel the world and using his gifts he was allowed to go on beheast of his new tarot master who saw the potential and wanted to teach the boy so he can become a master no one has seen in the master world. the boy was called ani :O) and due to his inuitive poweress he was able to get information easily and detailed yet something was missing, wisdom, and depth of the soul. ani was taken to the tarot council and was tested and he passed their tests but one. the boy never dealt with his shadow, thus there was information that was denied to the boy through the boy own mind set. furthermore there was the potential to instill fear in others through that mindset. the tarot master said he would teach the boy regardless due to that potential for both postiveness and negativness. then the tarot master died but before he died he gave his tarot deck to his other apprentice and said teach him well.. he is going to be great.. and he passed of the mortal coil called earth. the apprentice on behalf of the master agreed and he was appointed knight by the tarot council for he has passed all the tests. including a duel with a dark tarot master. such a duel consists of both doing a reading which usally consists of the postive tarot reader doing a postive and the negative tarot reader doing a negative reading coming from fear, hate, and ego. and the truth beat the ego in their tarot duel. in order for such a tarot duel, once must the tarot inside and out, and know thy self, and the universals laws, which compleiment natures laws. speed to ten years after and the boy has become a young man traveling with his demons which his tarot master said to him you must deal with them by dealing with yourself. unknowns to the master and everyone else he was reciving council by another tarot master which ani thought was a good man but the tarot master was telling the boy/man what he wanted to hear while inplanting seeds of his ego thoughts into the boy thoughts. as all things that come naturaly in rites of passage the boy crush was now a strong woman who politics were trying to bring her down. so ani went to help her with his wisdom and help her feel safe. yet knowing his feelings he didnt' pratice detachment like a good reader should and start to fall in love with her. and give her a reading that hinted she should fall in love him and she given to her feelings didnt' really resist but some feeble arguments. (in the movie i think he subsciounsily sent force and over time influence her mind). then his mother was pain and he felt her through his a bilities and felt compelled to both go to her and stay with the one he was sent to advise then she said "i will go too." to make him happy. they went to the city , and he left to try to find her and saw her slowly dying, and he asked "why?" and she said" there was a curse put on me by the bacudas" he said "but illness is in the mind,, think postive we will get through this " but she died in his arms. tears falling from his eyes he went to the psychic fair where the bacudas praticed and read for them all and told them all horror stories, and worked on their fears. through his medium skills he heard his old decease master scream "anii noooo" but he paid them no heed. when he left the camp they were all believing they were going to die cursed by the devil and the other half wee starting ot kill each other because o the long lost secrets revelaed in half truths and lies. ( i know anikin killed them with al lightsaber but here i had to adapt it to the tarot ) ani went back to pad and told her what he did , and how his mother died. and was wondering why the tarot coudnt' help . she told him "your not all powerfl, not all knowing, " to which he replied "i should be" ani then found out his master was in trouble and he coudlnt' go but she again said she would go and ani smiled at that. and they left. there they gotinto many perils which ani tarot knowledge coudn't help him as his deck was burned apart by fire. so ani, his master obiwan, and pad had to rely on their own resources to get out of trouble. havin no acess to their tools. then they were about to have their minds altered by computers using tarot cards for negatives (not to say computer tarot is bad but it can be made to be negative therefore influencings others) then the tarot council showed up throwing ani and obi new decks to use, for their tarot knowledge was universal , and they could use any decks. but here they were thrown marselies tarot(EH DIANA) so they can have a more ancient tool to work with. and the tarot counci started to duel with the computers. many a tarot master lost their faith in their abilities in these duels and stopped practioning tarot, and at the end there were few masters left and still lots of computer who were not shut down in the duel. then a voice on top said "surrender and we were spare you your knowledge"to which the master who originaly tested ani when he was youth said " and become hostages to your negatively never " the voice which belonged to count sighed "have your way" and give the orders for the computer to finish the job. then the leader of the council arrived with those who are new to the tarot, and couldnt' think for themselves ( ok bad anology) and sent the clone army into the war and the tide turn. to which the count was escapeing and all the masters there some of them wanted to try count. finally the count was cornered just befor his escape by obi and ani. ani was reckless believing in his power and coming from ego charged in the count pushed him aside easily with his tarot knowledge and the count and obi dued til obi wan felled the ground crying from his ego revealed by the count the mental pain inflicted on him. ani got up and was ready to him again. the count said "my numberlogy gives me an advantage over the tarot , come on and try me boy" and obi wan through his rider deck to combine them with ani knowledge of the maresles to try the count. and it was a fast quick duel but the count hurt him with revelaing feelings of his mother and his doubts in himself. and just as the count was revealing in his power. the leader of the tarot council was slowly coming arond the corner. it was yoda, who taught the count who taugth the master quin jon who taught obi wn, who taught anikin. and they looke at each other. and the count made his move first throwing negatives energy at the yoda which was bocked to which yoda said "i sense much darkness in you " the count said " we can't solved this with our knowledge of energy let us deal with it with our skills with the tarot" the old yoda who no one knew could read the tarot for he is alwasy talkigna bout spiritual concepts pulled out his self made tarot based on the marsielss and jumped into the duel . nay negative things revealed with lie yoda quickly turned in truths and said it was projections based on count dakoo trying to get an advantages and was lies. the count left quickly while yoda dealth with the mental states of his friends when it was over ani married the woman he love,, or lusted for the lovers card was not yet seen fully to see if it was reversed or upright. the tarot wars were on ,, good tarot readings based on higher principles vs negaive tarot readings for one own purposed based on ego, wants, needs, and negative feeligns were on. it is not clear at this time what happened exactly (for the movie never came out yet ) but this much can be garned. yoda woudl flee with his tarot knowledge to an obscure place becomign a hermit. obiwan and his student now following the dark ways would duel, and ani would be hurt, so much he had to wear spiritual armour to live due to his feelings, emotions, and such. the dark studen would rename himself darth. pad would have his children one son and one daughter no one knows at this time what fully happend to old pad.. some say she was on alderian when it was mind whiped by the emperor. and we do know that darth would travel the universe beatings tarot masters in duels , and either making them follow his ways or stop. obiwan would take his son to tatootine, there keeping his eye on luke.. it was a dark age for the tarot.. little did anyone know that the key to an lighter age would lay in young luke hand. a key of redemptions, and lost knowledge, of courage, and death of old beliefs and ways, but that is a story for another day.

Very cool Holmes (I am going to have to watch the last one though, I didn't get the last part because I haven't seen it yet) Hanging head in shame, LOL.

WOW! That was great Holmes! I think there is a fantasy fiction writer in you waiting to come out. I also see myself finding a tiny, tiny Yoda & equipping him with a little tarot table with teeny-tiny cards! Tarotphelia

holmes, i enjoyed your version more than i did the actual movies about ani. i know the last part of ani becoming darth hasn't come out in movie form yet. did you read this in one of the stars wars novels? i heard that george lucas may even throw out the original star wars in the concluding movie. i hope it's better than the first 2. i'm a hard core first trilogy fan. but then i'm a hard core harrison ford fan. btw, you didn't explain how leia ended up where she was. i have an idea but i want to hear it from you. ;) oh, veteran of the tarot wars! /o\

all people know is what leia said about her mother in return of the jedi that she always look sad, and was very beuiful. so padme no doubt raised leia a bit. notice as well she stayed a princess not becoming a queen, so padme was alive and well on naboo (SPECULATION HERE ) and leia was on a diplomatic mission to alderan.. so therefore she wasnt' from alderan. and when it was blown up the guy who said who we feared the worst later on in the orignal star wars movie it wasn't because she was from the world but it was well known she was on a diplomatic mission there. so by and by padme must be dead by this time as there is no mention of her in the original series. so speculation comes from my own mind. 1. emperor has her killed or she dies in the next star war movie. 2. she died afterwards but before star a new hope. it will be curious as to where it heads from there. also there is rumours that after the last movie, he does in 2004/5 that george will go back again to the original movies and futher edit them. to include some loose story ends. (this was mentioned on many websites before attack of the clones) what i think will happen is this ,, it was long known that it was 9 series,, the first story , and forty years til the middle story, and forty years after til the conclusion. 1. it was from the droids point of view he claimed.. 2. luke is no where near forty from the last movie so there fore 20 years in between be more cleareer. i bring them up for i beliee in my heart that a couple of years after the third movie he will contact mark hamill, and harrion ford and ask them to play patraichs in part 7 (i men luke has to teach soemthing the force right ?)
