Author's Note

Ok, so I know Star Wars isn't what you'd think of first when you'd think of an MLP crossover. But I wanted to explore the dynamic between the Force, and their magic, as well as throw a hapless guy into the midst of some excitable gals. It's meant to be all in good fun, so enjoy!


A long time ago...

Verin Altruan was a Jedi Knight leading a group of clone fighter pilots in the Outer Rim. They had been here for months, slogging away at the Seperatists. The last thing he expected was to get shot in the back. Quicker than ypu could say Bantha, blaster fire rained down around his ship like a torrential inferno. He couldn't understand it. How could his friends, the clones, turn on him? Something wasn't right, and he had to get out of there.

"R3, prime the hyperdrive, we're making an emergency jump or else we'll get obliterated here" he said calmly, doing his best to dodge away from being shot

His Droid companion acknowledged and together, they made a blind jump into deep space.

Things were looking pretty grim in Canterlot. A blizzard had been raging for days now, piling snow high up to the rooflines on some homes. All she could do was watch and wait.

"I wish it would cease to snow... I miss the sun" She grumbled. Sighing, she looked to her sister.
"Do you believe it will end soon? I worry for the people... if they can't leave their homes, they'll eventually starve, or worse" She furrowed her brow, showing just how caring a ruler she was. Her sister just sighed with a slight smile.

"I'm sure it will end soon. Have faith and be patient" Princess Luna replied softly, moving to hug her sister.
"You must keep faith, for it is all we have at the end of the day"

Celestia looked at her sister with a soft smile. Then there was a loud boom heard outside. It was so loud it shook the castle walls, dust drifting down from the ceiling. Startled, they looked around and then outside, where they saw a ball of fire streak through the sky, parting the clouds as it traveled. They watched as whatever it was crashed deep in the Everfree Forest, the ground shaking slightly upon impact. They were silent for a moment, before looking at each other.

"What was that?" Celestia wondered.

"I'm not sure, but whatever it is, it can't be good...." Luna replied, looking back out the window.

Verin grunted as he finally awoke. He seemed to be in a chased ship, but how had he gotten here? He couldn't remember. He tried to get up, only to find the canopy locked down. He pushed on it, it didn't budge.

"Who designed this thing.... ugh... can't get it to open..." he grumbled.

Looking round the cockpit, he noticed a metal handle looking object. Upon picking it up, it more resembled a sword hilt, but no blade. There was a button on one end, and upon pressing it, a bright orange blade shot out, straight through the canopy.

"OK, this is getting us somewhere..." he said, deigniting the blade and repositioning it.
"Here goes..." he said, igniting the blade and carving a hole to climb out from. As soon as he kicked the hole clear he was blasted by a wave of ice-cold winds and snow.

Damn, what have i gotten myself into, he thought to himself. He had to find shelter, and as he poked his head out, he could see a cave several meters away. Looking up, he noticed that he almost crashed into the mountain itself.
I'm either really lucky, or just good at crashing, he thought. Gathering his light sword he hopped out and made a break for the cave. Once inside he noticed he was not the only being in here.

"Hello, nice of you to drop in" said a pink being by a campfire. Beside her was a light blue one, looking like they may want to tackle me at any second.

"Where am I?" was all he could muster. The blue one scoffed and turned away, and the pink one addressed me again

"You're in a cave in the Everfree Forest. Were you the one who made that large blast?" She asked inquisitivly.

He nodded, shaking slightly from the cold. She noticed this and ushered him by the fire.

"W-what planet am I on?" He asked, looking more confused than afraid. Sh just looked confused.

"Planet? I'm not sure, but my friend Twilight could. I would take you to see her, if it wasn't snowing so hard." She said as we all looked at the entrance.

Looking back at them, he noticed how equine their features were. They were humanoid for the most part, but they had hooves where theor feet should be, and tails coming out their backsides. He hadn't seen a species like them before... had he? The more he tried to remember, the foggier it all became. He must have made a face as the blue one finally spoke.

"Is he even ok?" She said, slight concern in her voice.

"Would you be if you crashed that hard?" The other replied.

Before he could hear the response, he slumped over and passed out from exhaustion.
