Shadows of the Future

I found this to be a fairly good one. Bit of time traveling, or rather, reincarnating at a previous point in your life to fix the mess things became by affecting things at a pivotal time. Main Character is Obi Wan Kenobi.

This is somewhat of a crossover- in that it puts Ruroni Kenshin into SW lock, stock, and lightsaber. And, being done by Vathara, does so quite well. Obi-wan turns out to be the center of a number of plot-induced coincidences, but no more than usual for Star Wars.

If you are planning on reading more of it, there are two groups of one-shots by the same author that are in between part 1-part 2, and part 2-part 3.

Definitely second Shadows in Starlight - and what the heck, second Shadows of the Future, too. It's not a great story, but I have reread it, so...

Hmm, I don't read a lot of Star Wars fics, but:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3293816/1/Mechanical_Spirit
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1866354/1/Jedi_Harris of course, even if SW is very much the lesser element in the crossover.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3913384/1/A ... en_In_Hope
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4519603/1/Race_Against_Time is another time-travel one, similar in quality to Shadows of the Future.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3062663/1/Chasing_Dreams - I haven't read this in years, and it looks to be dead as a dodo, but I remember it as being fairly good.

If this is intended for a ff.net community, these won't be eligible, but:
http://persephone-kore.livejournal.com/328501.html Protege (this is the first chapter of the first story; it looks like the tags are the best way to navigate).
http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=100906 Hull 721 and its sequels, http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=127985 (arc 2) and http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=127610 A Squelch of Empires (only the first story is complete).

Offhand, I can't think of any other SW fics that I've read and enjoyed.

I'll second this, if it's acceptable. I was holding off, because it is mostly BtVS.

Any crossover within reason is acceptable, by that I mean more than just naruto getting a laser sword and calling it a naruto/star wars.

Also fics from any site is acceptable.

Wow, thanks DIT_grue, quite a few fics there. :biggrin:

Just finished reading Shadows of the Future and thought it was pretty good, although a bit sappy at some points (seriously, more hugging in that one fic than my entire favorites list), and I am not a fan of the
Spoiler: show
'happily ever after'
ending.

~*~ Update - Shadows in Starlight has been moved to the accepted crossover list.

Need a clarification on SIS, it is a crossover, correct? The summary says 'a fusion of kenshin and star wars'.

Yeah, fusion goes in the general crossover category. Also a note: A Squelch of Empires is also a crossover (with Warhammer 40K).

Not so much. Much more on the naval combat side, with some Force/Warp wackiness involved. Still, much awesomeness. If you haven't read Hull 721, expect to miss some things.

Well that sucks, I have not really payed much attention to the ships in WAR 40k or star wars.

Definatly seconding and thirding Hull 721 and Squelch of Empires. Good stuff lies within. Seriously, those are about the only Star Wars fics I like.

It is not? I have not read it, but I did scroll back to the latest posted chapter and did not see anything that looked like an ending. I will change the tag though.

Yeah, one kind of segues directly into the other. I guess the author didn't want it getting too long, or something.
