The Final Conflict (Older Challenge Response) (complete)

[Galadriel Kenobi]

The challenge was ”” Write a vignette that begins with the sentence: "This was the end. He wasn't sure what precisely brought him to that conclusion, but he knew it was true." Limited to 2,000 words.

Here's what I came up with.

This was the end. He wasn't sure what precisely brought him to that conclusion, but he knew it was true. The moment his son had spoken those heart-wrenching words, he had known that this would be his final conflict.

 

”œThen my father is truly dead,”

[Mythicaa]

Ooh, goose bumps.

 

I liked that. Very well done. Unfortunate that it was restricted to 2,000 words you could have really played that out. I like how you have Anakin and Darth Vader as separate characters, a clear conflict of the personalities.

[Skye Organa]

Ohhhhh you have such a way with words. Such emotion, such imagry. As Myth said, I too enjoyed the conflict between Anakin and Vader... Light and Dark. Great work!

[Silas]

Wonderful was the only thing that came to mind. Like Myth said its too bad that you had to constrain it to 2000 words, this could have been a great fic in itself. It was a great depiction of what happened, the inner turmoil. Awesome job!

[Amidala Skywalker]

Nice work! I especially liked the last sentence. Very moving.

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that this scene would be a good one for this challenge. Although, I like how you chose Vader's viewpoint and I took Luke's.

 

Excellent job!

[Anakin T Skywalker]

I also loved that last sentence.

 

And I liked how you wrote much more going on than the physical battle. You made the actual, audible dialogue and fighting seem almost like a distraction from what's really going on in Vader's heart.
