What would you all like to see for the rest of Chapter 2?
Added 2026-02-08 03:35:22 +0000 UTCSo, I just posted what amounts to half of chapter 2 of this teaser story. Still a teaser because it isn’t on the HP poll, for obvious reasons. But anyway, I have a choice here, and wanted to ask, what are people more interested in seeing:
The first week or so of Harry and company leaving off the land, experimenting and so forth? If so, I will expand on the first scene in chapter two.
Or, as a second option, the pre-teens and teens interacting with the locals, learning more about the world, and the galaxy? They won’t be getting off-planet for several more chapters, but this would start their interacting with the wider world of SW.
This is just a opinion poll. It isn't binding in any way, i Just want to see what you all think.
That was it. OH, and this isn’t part of the poll, but I was wondering: would you all prefer to see me use real people to explain how the various characters look, going back to the HP movies, or should I go the AI picture route? I refuse to use AI in my writing, but for pictures, I can make an exception, or reach out to some artists who might be hiding among you, LOL.

Changed the Rockwood/Dolohov thing. I will look for notes... I thought I had removed them. I will see. Maybe to Grievous - good catch. The padawan council was like that for a reason. For a time, there's going to be a surfeit of solemnity.

2026-02-09 17:57:15 +0000 UTCI'd love a bit of both, frankly. Some time alone surviving would lead to them developing different skills than the usual Jedi-Sith skills, which would be pretty interesting, and is kinda the USP of this fic, we have Magic for the Jedi!Harry route. But on the other hand, this is a Star Wars Crossover after all, I don't want to wait too long for them to meet the rest of the universe.

2026-02-09 16:55:17 +0000 UTCYep on Felucia. Convenient Text on Occlumency? Where did I mention a textbook on that? Good ooutline... for whole stories i normally have very loose, arc-based outlines. Here, that's relatively easy. Not certain if you would think they are 'good' though.

2026-02-09 16:51:44 +0000 UTCthis is more like what is going to happen, I was just interested in seeing if they should start interacting with locals before or after starting to put together their own idea of what magic can do here or not.

2026-02-09 16:46:56 +0000 UTCI’m only up to palatines assistant waking up. But I’m super curious on how the force has changed. In chapter 1 you were referring to the unspeakable, wasn’t that Augustus rookwood? I think you were calling him dolohov? As a text to speech reader, coming across the edit notes still in chapter teaser confused the heck out of me XD I love the little padawan council around the lunch table. Are we butterflying away grievous :0

2026-02-09 16:45:25 +0000 UTCthink you read the term locals and thought Jedi. NOPE. They aren't going to meet any Jedi for at least four chapters. Even then, it's going to be brief. I meant the locals on the planet they are on, who happen to be groups of primitives with very little in the way of universal knowledge other than, yes, sometimes we're visited by people in starships. patchwork magic system... good term, yeah. I think both Daphne and Harry are already aware of differences, but yeah, there's going to be some experimentation.

2026-02-09 16:45:08 +0000 UTCI.... I would say yes in terms of the indoctrination. Well meaning, and indeed, it worked for a thousand years, and i wouldn't say you're not labelled Dark Side. The Dark Side is a real thing, and can really fuck up your emotions. Several Jedi literally turn to the Dark Side and then turn on their companions in the extended universe (which is the real canon, fuck Disney). one example - a Jedi turned dark in a fight with Vader to the point where he stabbed through his ally to get to Vader. Ony to fail, obviously. Another example, a Jedi who wanted to stay out of the war was manipulated to feel hatred and anger and fell to the Dark Side and attacked Mace WIndu despite being manipulated. All that said, I know there's a lot of problems with their training. Now, that training will need to change dramatically. As for controlling the kids... heh, when did i ever say they'd all be part of the Jedi? NOPE.

2026-02-09 16:41:37 +0000 UTCHmm... No one's been commenting on the second question I asked here. Interesting. Or y'all just read for the poll and stopped...

2026-02-09 16:36:54 +0000 UTCUnfortunately with Episodes 1 through 3, they proved the Jedi to be an indoctrination cult in every sense of the definition. They take young children away from their parents and alienate them from family, then mold them ideologically and physically into being "soldiers" for the cult. Soldiers willing to lay down their lives for the ideals of the cult that raised and shaped them. If you don't conform to those ideals you are sent to labor on an agricultural world or are labelled "dark side" for not swallowing the Kool-Aid. It is for those reasons I'd rather see the Hogwarts students go the survival and experimentation route in order to establish their own personalities and knowledge before bringing in the Jedi who would want to control them and either try to indoctrinate them or try to control them. It will also allow them to develop closer bonds with each other which would further insulate them from Jedi indoctrination and make them harder to control.

2026-02-08 17:35:49 +0000 UTCSurvival and magical experimentation. They have a wide gamut of skills and experience to draw from so survival should be possible. Rather than being rescued and indoctrinated into some established Force culture right away, they should work on what they have for a bit. Once they are established enough that they aren't struggling to survive, they could work on understanding how the rules of magic have changed. Does Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration still hold? Are certain magics easier or harder in this new universe? Do certain magics act differently in this new universe? In Magic of the Force, Lily would have done most of this questioning as she was the adult with a full magical education. Now you have kids with varying levels of familiarity with magic (whether seeing it as a natural part of life or a topic to be studied), varying levels of maturity, and varying life experiences. Beyond that, after they get to a point where surviving is maintainable (not easy, but not difficult), they will have nothing better to do than experiment with magic. As such it is interesting to think of the patchwork magic system they might come up with before they are "saved" and have to start incorporating the teachings of other Force traditions.

2026-02-08 17:05:02 +0000 UTCI will side with the mastermind on this one.

2026-02-08 07:52:50 +0000 UTCImma going to be real honest here: neither of the options on the poll are what I'd like to see; I'd actually like to see an attempt at BOTH. Like, they meet the locals early, like the second option, but it's primative natives that have had limited contact with offworlders, but aren't as helpful as option 2 lays out, whether said locals intend it that way or not. That way Harry and Co. have a vague idea about the wider galaxy, but it's even not bare bones, just one of the fingerbones, not even a full skeleton's worth, let alone what they'll to know anything beyond "people have spaceships here", and they do get help surviving, so they have more time to learn what they can do.

2026-02-08 07:33:07 +0000 UTCIt appears as if the HP gang have found themselves on Felucia. Rancor, Ackley and giant mushroom forest? Sounds like Felucia. I personally would like to see the gang realize the scope of the galaxy sooner rather than later as that will help with the planning going forwards. As for Magical learning (HP Gang and Jedi), learning on the move after a week of foundational survival training may be best for the Students. The Jedi will more than likely have to rely heavily on the youngling and Padawans coming up with new stuff and adapting it into training/combat after testing. Once the two groups meet, Daphne's convenient text on Occlumency will help the Jedi and the Jedi text will help the students. So much potential, so many ideas... I hope you have a good outline ready. Looking forward to more!

2026-02-08 05:25:14 +0000 UTCI was wondering if this was supposed to be a sort of 'Uninhabited Planet Survive' type of fanfic?

2026-02-08 04:42:41 +0000 UTCGotta admit that one of my primary driving forces when first contemplating this idea was putting the kids into a survival type adventure where they had to rely only on each other and whatever skills they had or managed to learn by themselves. So, seeing how you might go about it would be VERY interesting to me. Not to mention, doing it this way would mean that you could more concretely figure out just what 'hidden skills' each of them would eventually develop and could further expand upon in the future!
