LH Week’26: “It's you, in every lifetime” 🩶

This is my Levihan Star Wars au, where all Attack on Titan characters are born in the Star Wars universe. I decided to combine two of my obsessions. [If you don't like Levihan (Levi x Hange ship), then you might not like this, which is ok, we are all entitled to our own different opinions.] I tried to bring elements from Attack on Titan into the Star Wars universe. This one is set during the Prequel/Clone Wars era. Levi and Hange are Jedi Masters who are the primary creche masters/teachers of the 104th youngling clan. They have been instructing these younglings since they were toddlers, and have to protect, train, guide and teach these younglings until they are old enough and ready to become Jedi Padawans. [Levi and Hange have a parental relationship with their younglings]. Levi and Hange are the closest thing that these younglings have as parents, with Levi as the dad and Hange as the chaotic mum.

That being said, Levi and Hange are both highly skilled Jedi who also go on other missions as well. When they aren't available to teach their younglings, then usually Moblit, Miche, Petra, Nifa, Shadis or Master Yoda will fill in.

Hange and Moblit are force healers and can do very advanced force healings. Hange did teach some basic force healing to Levi and Petra, too, so, while it's nothing too complicated, they can at least use it to stop bleeding. Moblit also taught Nifa force healing. Hange also taught her younglings some basic force healing as well.

Miche, Eren and Sasha all have psychometry, which is a rare force ability where you can touch an object and can see and hear the previous events that happened in relation to that object. It allows you to see and hear force echoes. It allows you to gain information about the person or events that happened. I thought that they should have this ability because of Miche's heightened sense of smell in AOT, Sasha's advanced hearing and sensors in AOT, and Eren being able to see the future and the past with his titan in AOT that is triggered by touching someone with royal blood.

Because Titans aren't a thing in the Star Wars Universe, I got there to be a droid called Titan. Generally speaking, in Star Wars, it is very useful to have a droid, as it also allows you to do a lot more, and droids help you get away from the enemy faster. This droid also flies, so you can use the little guy to fly around if you want. Titan is Hange's droid that she adores. He is loyal to her and can be very useful in missions and gathering intelligence. Titan does have a mischievous and chaotic personality (because Titans in AOT cause a lot of chaos). He does like to pull pranks on people (except for Hange, Erwin, Moblit, and he learned the hard way that pulling pranks on Levi is a terrible idea). He looks after the younglings as well but does also pull pranks on them. He and Eren have a similar relationship that Ezra and Chopper have in the Star Wars Rebels show. He knows that he has to play nice with Jedi, clones and the Republic in general. But he will wreak absolute chaos and destruction on the enemy, with lots of explosions on enemy ships and bases. That being said, he is a very loyal droid that ends up helping levihan and the kids for the rest of their lives. The paint job, I used the red from the Colossal Titan, and I tried to make it look as though someone drew titan-shifter marks under his "eyes" and that someone drew a goofy titan smile full of teeth on him.

There are also clone troopers Swaney and Bean, who are close friends with Hange. My way of getting Swaney and Bean into the au.

In this au, Miche is Hange's older brother, and Moblit is her younger brother. Kenny is still Levi's uncle, and Mikasa is still Levi's cousin. Hange and Levi have been best friends since they were younglings, along with Isabel and Furlan, who were also childhood best friends of the two.

For Hange's lightsaber, I tried to do a "wings of freedom" inspiration for the lightsaber hilt, along with a DNA/science-inspired design to capture her curious nature. Her lightsaber colour symbolises her pursuit of knowledge, scholarly pursuits, practical skills, and her deep connection to the force.

For Levi's lightsaber, I tried to make it clean and practical, with a curved design, inspired by his attack style in Attack on Titan. His lightsaber colour symbolises him being attuned to the force on a physical level; he is also able to be able to occasionally use abilities from the darkside as a tool, without being consumed or controlled by it.

Jedi have lineages of who trained who. Hange's Jedi lineage; her master who trained her when she was a padawan, was Jedi Master Keith Shadis. Hange's padawan, whom she trained into knighthood, is Jedi Knight Moblit Berner. Moblit's padawan is Jedi Padawan Nifa.

Miche is also a Jedi Master. Jedi Master Miche often works with Odessen Commander Nanaba. The two are in a somewhat of a secret relationship.

Levi's Jedi lineage; he was trained by his uncle, former Jedi Master Kenny Ackerman, as a padawan, and was taught many things that the Jedi Council doesn't like. Kenny left the Jedi order the day Levi became a Jedi knight and became a smuggler. Levi's padawan, whom he also trained into knighthood, is Jedi Knight Petra Ral. Petra is planning on eventually taking Eren to be her padawan. At the moment, Eren is too young and isn't ready yet. Petra ends up having a relationship with Ouro Bozad during the time of the Galactic Republic, as they served together during the Clone Wars and served again together as Rebel Pilots in the same squadron.

Before Order 66, Levi and Hange are best friends who know everything about each other, and they still have their levihan telepathy just as they do in AOT, but it is enhanced by the force. They still have a deep trust and respect for each other. Levi is still the clean freak who makes sure Hange has a bath. They do love each other deeply, but they don't really act on any romantic feelings they have towards each other. After Order 66, Senator Erwin surprises Levi and Hange by officially marrying them with a marriage certificate. Levi and Hange were already co-parenting the 104th younglings anyway, but they officially became the younglings' parents after Order 66. It didn't take long for the kids to start calling them "dad/papa" and "mum/mama". After Order 66, a very strong foundation of their relationship was already there for a lifelong marriage; they were able to act on their romantic feelings for each other, instead of putting duty first. And maybe through Levi and Hange's marriage, that's how the character of Udo gets brought into the Star Wars universe.

When Order 66 happens, I do see Miche, Hange, Levi, Moblit, Petra, Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Sasha, Connie, and Historia surviving. Hange and Levi are the ones who rescue their younglings out of the Jedi Temple during Order 66. Senator Erwin helps to get them off Coruscant (similar to how Bail Organa does for Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi), he gives them fake IDs and relocates them back to Odessen. The good thing is that Odessen is a planet that is strong in the force, including the light side of the force, so it can mask multiple force signatures of Jedi from the Sith. They and Erwin all survive the Galactic civil war and live long lives, because Hange, Erwin, Moblit, Miche, Nanaba, Sasha, and Eren's deaths hurt me the first time. {I'm also pretending that the sequels don't exist, because fighting for 20 years for freedom only to have it taken away around 15ish years later, freaking sucks, and it sucks more for the Jedi, imagine suffering the genocide of the Jedi during order 66, only to be genocided again 35ish years later, stuff that honestly.}

In this AU, Eren's hatred for the Titans is replaced by hatred for the Empire instead.

After Order 66, Erwin has Hange and Levi pose as a married couple for their fake ID. The reasoning behind it is that having seven children call the two adult guardians "master", with a clear teacher-student relationship, will send Darth Vader and the Inquisitors straight to your door. Where, if you have a married couple with seven children that call them "mum" and "dad", there is nothing weird about that, in the Star Wars galaxy, there are bound to be large families anyway, also, there were a lot of war orphans after the Clone Wars, so it wasn't uncommon for families to adopt.

Senator Erwin Smith is the senator of Odessen (which is a SWTOR world that serves as the base of the Eternal Alliance in the Star Wars: The Old Republic game, where your character serves as the Eternal Alliance Commander). Odessen is a planet that is strong in both the light side and the dark side of the force equally. It is located in Wild Space and was once vital to the survival of the Old Republic, but now barely anyone in the Republic remembers it, which makes it easier for Erwin to do work in the shadows (uncovering corruption). In this au, Odessen is entirely a self-sufficient planet. I see Erwin making alliances with like-minded senators such as Padme Amidala, Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and Riyo Chuchi. I don't think Erwin would trust Chancellor Palpatine. I think he would have his team of soldiers and Jedi (such as Miche, Hange, Levi, Moblit, Nifa and Petra) uncover more evidence of Darth Sidious (who orchestrated both sides of the war from the beginning and is Palpatine). He either would've been very close to solving the case by the time of order 66, or he would've already solved the case and is waiting for the opportunity to make his move. There would be many things that happen in the Clone Wars that make Erwin suspicious, that things may not be all they appear to be, which puts him on the path of uncovering the secret plans of Darth Sidious. During the time of the Galactic Empire, Erwin is the leader of a rebel cell called Survey Corps, or Scouts for short. His rebel cell is secretly based in Odessen, although that being said, no open rebel activity is done in Odessen, because bringing the attention of the Empire to your secret base is not a good idea; every rebel is forbidden from doing open rebel activity in Odessen for that reason. As far as the Empire is concerned, Odessen is just a backwater planet in the dangers of Wild Space and doesn't have anything of real value to the Empire, so for the most part, they can't be bothered; half the time, they forget it exists anyway, and occasionally they will send small teams down there that would typically rob the locals and then leave.

In this AU, Scout characters are either Jedi, Odessen Soldiers loyal to Senator Erwin, Smugglers, Rebel soldiers, or Rebel pilots. I don't really see any of them liking the Empire, so they would probably all be on the side of the Rebel Alliance in some way. Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa/Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca are still the main heroes of the Rebel Alliance, but there are always other activities for rebels to do. The Empire is still enslaving, massacring, and oppressing people. So even if they aren't at the Battle of Yavin, they can still do meaningful work that helps people and is another defeat for the Empire.

The Marleyan characters will be Empire-aligned, with some of the Warriors being Inquisitors (Jedi Hunters). Some of them might defect from the Empire and join the Rebellion instead. Falco and Gabi are two force-sensitive kids who were rescued by the Inquisitors by Hange and Levi.

After Order 66, Levi and Hange live in an old house (that can fit in a large family) in a forest area close to a nearby country town in Odessen. In the small town, there is an abandoned building that they both renovate (with the help of Erwin's funds so that they can afford it), which on one side is Levi's tea shop/cafe, and the other, larger side is a mix of a pharmacy, a doctor's clinic and a science lab that is run by Hange with her assistants Moblit and Titan. They have their lunch breaks in Levi's tea shop. Hange and Moblit are the only doctors in the town, and secret force healers. Levi's tea shop becomes well-loved in the town, too, and it's not uncommon for patients to have a drink or even some food in Levi's tea shop, as it is connected to the waiting room. There is also a local school in town for their kids to go to. This helps to maintain their disguise and to have a civilian identity, as they are highly wanted fugitives by the Empire. Also, a 20-minute walk from their house, further into the depths of the forest, there is a secret, large cave that is hidden by a waterfall, which Hange and Levi further hide by temporarily sealing the entrance with rocks, using the force whenever it's not in use. They use this cave to secretly keep training their younglings as Jedi in secret, because no matter what they do, they are always going to be Jedi hunters come after them, so it's best to be as prepared as possible so that if anyone runs into the Inquisitors or Vader, then they can at least survive the encounter. Also, to prepare the kids for Rebel activity when the need arises, with or without their influence, the kids all hate the Empire and want to fight back against the Empire for what was done to them during Order 66. And Hange and Levi can't stay out of a fight when so many people are suffering; they just have to wait for their kids to get older before they can do too much for the Rebellion. In the meantime, they can do a lot of preparing and training. Whenever they do use the cave, they do seal it up from the inside to prevent anyone from seeing Jedi activity, mainly just in case there are Imperial probes or Imperials around the area that they aren't aware of.
