<blockquote>Following the battle of Endor, the Alliance to Restore the Republic took a single prisoner from the attack on the Death Star. Sequestered aboard a lone ship with a skeleton crew, that prisoner sits and waits for what fate will bring him, his very existence kept a closely guarded secret. Desperately trying to work out what to do with him, the Rebel leaders send a lone analyst to speak with him, to take a record of his side of the story. They want to be able to judge him when the time is right. But who exactly is it they would be judging? And why exactly did he help destroy the galaxy - and then help save it?
AU, following on from an alternate ending for Return of the Jedi.</blockquote>
➤ I rather liked the OC pov character. The best part was the first half with the viewpoint character's interviewing of Darth Vader
➤ but the rest of the fic was worth reading too. And I liked the choice of how/where to end it.
➤ And I liked that in general the fic was actually engaging with the question of how to deal with someone who has done truly awful things to a lot of people but has also repented in some way or another.
➤ Also: the stuff about Vader's feelings about Luke being basically obsession were like, OH, YES OF COURSE, EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW (cf Anakin's feelings about Padme)
