A Snow Song
It is Star Wars and it is also Christmas!
However, Star Wars does not have a Christmas! Or any kind of holiday season, I gather. That did not stop me from writing this spoiler-laden, slightly Clone Wars-borrowing-from take on A Christmas Carol. Luke is about to be visited by three spirits! Ooh yes.
[I wasn’t kidding when I said ‘spoiler-laden’! This will ruin the movie for you if you haven’t seen it!]

A Snow Song
*
Obi-Wan Kenobi was dead, to begin with. There was no doubt whatsoever about that. Luke Skywalker had seen him cut down, and then he had seen his body disappear, and then he had seen his ghost on several occasions, ghosts being generally pretty conclusive when it came to determining whether a person was dead or not.
It was the cold winter season on the planet Luke had chosen for his exile. He had, however, long stopped feeling the weather – the sun and the snow came by in fairly regular intervals, but he’d stopped noticing which was which.
“Good day to you, uncle,” came the voice of his nephew.
This is now on AO3, too!
