Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.

But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.

Or,

Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.

Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.

Chapter Summary: Six years after becoming Qui-Gon's padawan and approaching Master Nu about a very controversial research project, Obi-Wan finally presents his findings to the High Council. They are, to a being, impressed.

But the Sith are still out there, making plans, trying to destroy the Jedi. Except the Jedi are not unaware of the threat in this timeline. And the Sith might just have made the biggest mistake of all.
