Description
so… Star Wars is one of those things where I love it so much because of the way the story turned out, but at the same time I have a million AUs for how I also wish it could have gone.
I-I just really want one where Anakin doesn’t turn/turns back early and ends up as a leader of the Rebel Alliance (the Jedi Order having still been destroyed), while Padme remains on Coruscant as a senate spy to leak intel to the rebels. Of course, they’re separated to the public eye (trying to make this plausible so that Palpatine at least believes he caused a permanent rift between them, and he wants to keep Luke around to turn him later... idk how Anakin would keep from going crazy with paranoia with Padme and Luke being in such a dangerous position, but I'm also assuming he's gained some... self-control after recovering the first time 
And they end up with one twin each, so... ~*~THE SPOILER ~*~ is still a spoiler for Luke in all these AUs ahaha. and I love the potential dynamic of switching the twins around XD (Leia's trained in the Jedi arts but still has an affinity with blasters 
(P.S. air and angels by irnan is a wonderful fic with this premise, that was an inspiration too! she's also written a whole lot of other incredible SW fics, A+ WOULD RECOMMEND)

This is really neat! I don't like star wars that much but I'd still watch/read the heck out of this! It's like Parent Trap but with Jedi!

I very much doubt Palpatine wouldn't see through that ruse

I'm working on a fanfic that's actually kinda similar to this.

First things first, I ADORE the concept and this piece.
Second: If you actually wanted to turn this into a comic, I'd love to help. I'm an avid writer, and a Star Wars fanatic, but I've never actually written a comic before, so it's a challenge I'd love to tackle.
I've even got some ideas, such as Rex going on the run with Anakin and serving as a big brother figure for Leia, and Mace Windu ending up with a mechanical arm, and an eyepatch owing to his injuries during the duel with Palpatine, which Anakin saves him from in the opening, remotely calling his starfighter to him as he tackles Windu out the window. Then, once the kids are born, Bail Organa delivers Leia to Anakin, and we're off to the races.

Speaking of alternate timelines:
There is also the possibility that Obi Wan or more likely Yoda would take one of the children for training. They'd see the two as their best, last hope for giving the Jedi Order a future, destroying Palpatine, and restoring the Republic. Whether they would allow Anakin to train any of his children would depend on whether or not he ever turned, otherwise, they wouldn't trust him not to make a mistake, either the same one Obi Wan did, or turn again himself.
I don't think Anakin, Padme, Obi Wan, or Yoda would want either of the twins anywhere NEAR Palpatine, for fear he'd just kidnap one of them, even for leverage over Anakin. That might kill any self-control Anakin might have gained, and he'd probably come charging in with murder on his mind, because NOBODY hurts his girl, or his children, to heck with what Obi Wan or Yoda says, he's powerful enough to destroy him, and he's GOING TO KILL THAT OLD MAN today!!!
Palpatine could pull Anakin's strings like a puppet, because there is no way he'd not think he doesn't still have feelings for Padme, let alone his son.

Soo... Luke didn't know who is father is? Padme never told him? -.- Also if I see it rigth, Leia is the Force sensitive one and not Luke. Or both of them are Force sensitive, but Luke chose not to be a Jedi?

They are both extremely Force sensitive. In the Expanded Universe timeline, she eventually trains in the Jedi arts.

I know

I would assume they'd be Force Sensitive in all timelines.

Wait, I remember that there was a story in FanFiction.net about this kind of AU. I forgot what the title was though...

So I guess the story is that when Palpatine dissolved the Imperial Senate, Padme and Luke were imprisoned, with Leia saving her brother?

One can only imagine how the reverse in roles would be. Most impressive work, friend!

Now we need an AU where everything is the same, except Luke was raised by the Organa family, while Leia was raised by Owen and Beru

OMG, that's so cute and funny. Also absolutely love the fact that it's Leia who's tagging along her dad instead of Luke, pure awesomeness!

I love the idea of Anakin bringing little Leia on missions And I love the rebel outfit you gave him.

There's a saying in literature -- primarily in regard to Shakespeare's tragedies, but it can be applied to other areas -- that a tragedy isn't about things going wrong so much as things _almost_ going right. When the curtain falls and everyone is dead or wishing they were, it doesn't matter nearly as much to the audience if it was like for that the whole story start-to-finish, than if it started hopeful and got close enough to see a happy ending before everything went wrong. And you can't just drop some Diabolus Ex Machina out of nowhere to make everything horrible, it has to be the protagonists themselves that cause the tragedy. So I think that's where a lot of Star Wars' emotional impact comes from -- it's The Tragedy Of Anakin Skywalker. Anakin doesn't fall to the dark side just because Sideous brainwashes him into evil -- he falls because he's a very human character with emotional motivations and fears (primarily, wanting to protect the people he cares about), and because the Jedi Order is really crappy at dealing with emotions (seriously, that place is wildly unqualified to raise children), and because he hangs around a Sith Lord who's clever enough to realize that being able to manipulate people and gain power without using the Force is actually really useful, and who knows how to push Anakin's psychological buttons until he breaks.
Seriously, the presence of _one competent psychiatrist_ could have fixed the entire situation.
