Summary
The thing is, when Anakin figures it out, is that it all obviously has been there, if he’d only cared to look for it.
And, admittedly, he is angry. Mostly at himself, which isn’t something that happens very often, so it’s an especially harrowing realization.
All these years, he thinks, I’ve been so blind. I was so busy ignoring everything I didn’t want to think about and blaming everyone else for things not under their control that I didn’t stop to look at the bigger picture.
He sighs and leans back in his chair to gaze at the ceiling.
If only, he laments, true remorse coloring his thoughts, I had started watching period holodramas earlier.
OR, how Plo Koon watching and subsequently introducing Ahsoka to Star Wars’ version of Downton Abbey changes Anakin's life path like nothing else could.

Have you ever seen a time traveler dropped into the middle of someone else's butterfly effect? How about several dozen someones? AKA I nabbed all my fave clone troopers and sprinkled them into a much happier galaxy, with a touch of violence on top. As a treat.

(For a moment, he was back in the Clone Wars, helping Senator Amidala down from her transport, her gait poised and regal as she stepped down. This woman, the prisoner, was not quite the same. Her nose was wider and her jaw just a little off. But for a moment, the two overlapped. And then this short little woman, with Padmé’s bearing and face, with hair curled into buns at the side of her head in a way that dragged up long-buried memories of Naboo, turned and snapped at the troopers escorting her, face curled into something politely vicious. It echoed a long-lost General perfectly, and Cody’s heart stopped all over again.)
“I’m Cody. I’m here to rescue you.”
On the Death Star, Leia’s rescue comes a little earlier and a little different- Language:

The overworked project manager on the redesign of the Imperial Lambda-class shuttle gets surprisingly competent feedback from an unknown official on Coruscant. She promptly decides that anyone bored enough to do a technical review of their own free will should be found proper employment for their own good.
Her correspondent has been missing the opportunity to tinker with machinery. It gives him something to do between hunting down rebels.

Summary
“Right.” Boba was too drunk and Obi-Wan was too dead for them to be having this conversation. “So, what are you doing here, if you’re actually dead and I’m not hallucinating.”
Obi-Wan sighed a little bit. “I’m here to ask a favor that may or may not ruin your life.”
Boba blinked at him. “Well, at least you’re honest about it."
Obi-Wan looked exhausted. Boba had always kind of assumed that dying meant you got to rest, but Obi-Wan seemed far from rested. “Vader has gotten an idea in his head—” And yep, Boba could see where Obi-Wan was going with his whole ‘may or may not ruin his life’ bit. “—that he can change the past.”
Boba snorted. “Has anyone ever told Vader that he’s delusional? You can’t change the past."
Except Obi-Wan didn’t agree.

"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

“70 …” 68 said slowly, taken off-guard. 70 wasn’t a brother normally inclined towards ghost-tales. “Ben isn’t real. He’s just a baby story--something the tubies like to pretend is real.”70 shook his head, his face set in stubborn lines. “He might not be. No, listen--” he gave 74 a glare when it looked like his brother wanted to interrupt again. “I’ve heard the stories, and they’re always the same. The tubies all know what he looks like. They all know he’s a jetii, before anyone ever told them what a jetii was. You know how the longnecks keep batches of tubies separate. There’s no way any of us, or any of the older vod, could have told them about him. But it doesn’t matter. All the batches know about Ben.”

Summary
Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?" He asked, hoping a direct question would yield answers. The old man seemed adept at side-stepping information when asked a bit more deftly. “I’ve never heard of a Master with your level of talent.”
The old man seemed surprised. “If you’ve never heard of one like me, then what good would my name be? You wouldn’t know it.”
Obi-Wan felt a flare of irritation, and quickly squashed it. The old man blinked, as if he hadn’t expected to feel that, and he smiled, sadly. “My name is Luke,” he said, as if a peace offering.
The force trilled in his ear, and Obi-Wan frowned. "Luke what?" He asked, and the old man, this Luke, smiled wryly.
"Luke Skywalker.”

“Luke is not involved,” Luke says, not looking up.
“Hey, Luke is not involved,” Han says, pointing at her. She’s going to bite his finger off, then they’ll see how much pointing he can do with it. “This is about you and me, princess.”
“There’s not going to be a you and me,” Leia says. “I’m going to have this baby with C-3PO.”
