Tuning up your TIE-Fighter to prove you’re better than the bastard currently running the TIE-Fighter Program for fun and profit

Chapter 2: Mouse Droids and How To Fix Them – A Quick And Easy Guide [Livestream]

Chapter Text

Hello, everybody! I'm happy to announce this whole AU is a series now: The Background Noise of Defiance:

The Galaxy is a big place and you can find all kinds of obscure things on the holonet, including a blond teenager from Tatooine dragging the TIE-Fighter program through the sarlacc pit.

Or an Alternative Universe in which the galaxy gets saved because Luke has a youtube channel, everybody is on space twitter and Anakin Skywalker always returns to the light for his family.

Rebellions are loud and vibrant and social media is the most powerful weapon right next to a lightsaber.


Check out the prequel of this story: Mouse Droids and How To Fix Them – A Quick And Easy Guide [Livestream]:

As the future Queen of Alderaan, Leia is under a lot of pressure and stress. So what if she stays up late to watch a farmboy mechanic fix a droid?

“That’s it,” he said and helped up the repaired Mouse droid. “A Quick And Easy Guide to Mouse Droids. Now, the only thing left is repainting and naming it. Same rules as always, highest donator gets to choose the color and the name.”

Leia shouldn’t waste her allowance on this, but Leia had also had a terrible day and wanted to name that Mouse Droid.

 

Notes:

The premise of this was literally: "Okay but Vader has a twitter account" and "Luke would hate TIE-Fighters".
It wasn't supposed to have plot.
Anyway, Luke spends a year on a galactic road trip with his Dad and Obi-Wan. Anakin kills Sidious and they all live happily ever after on Naboo. When Obi-Wan drops that Luke has a twin, Anakin throws a hissy fit, and Luke sends Leia some sick memes.
I wrote this in like 2 days. Credit for Vader's genius twitter account name goes to my friend @darkmagyk who came up with this genius.
