Anakin Scar Novels & Stories

Oh failed cave! According to local legend, a stalactite tower above "Ghost Cave" fell straight down without breaking. This old tale not only says this, but offers us the chance to examine why our people came here in the first place. Long, long ago, in a galaxy far away, long before the days when time itself was subverted and rewritten by Jedi apart from their opposites-an ongoing war between civilization and Chaos on which destiny hinged-it was in that galaxy that this fateful event occurred. Though it is an unprepossessing account to give, Anakin gained his scar in this way. That beautiful but troubled young lad did not win his cool scar as a medal from all of galactic wars. Instead, he simply survived one minor skirmish actually. To clarify this in accordance with the established works of the Star Wars universe: in the 2003-2005 "Star Wars: Clone Wars" micro-series, we find that Anakin had an incident with Asajj Ventress. She was a Sith-in fact, trained in the very order which had once fought against Jedi in back corners of creation during times where recipe for peace was unknown-and in those years between "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith," this was very much Anakin's business. And it was thus in an encounter like that, with him bested-the mark we spoke of is received. Not only is this uncut to his unfailingly troubled nature geographically, but the scar is also a graphical impression of evil's advance (compared with his own physical progress) and the unyielding realism within which he is being more and more enveloped. In contrast to when it was presented to him with a good meal, this truly humble process has helped give his infamous and fearsome aura. In other words, Anakin's scar is just as much a point to his journey through space as it is that point itself.
