AL nods. "True. Though the novels and comics aren't counted in my canon because Luke winds up married with a son in the later books and that annoys the alter ego, so she stopped looking for them when she found that out." She makes a face. "It didn't help that they named their son 'Ben', either. We know he's named after Obi-Wan, but still. If he winds up married in the movie, you'll hear us screaming 'I REJECT YOUR CANON AND SUBSTITUTE MY OWN!' from here."
"He -- well, Mark -- had one when he did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge," she says to V. "Movie magic would probably make it look better than on a phone-cam, but I still don't like it. So, yeah, I'm hoping it comes off in the movie."
AL shrugs. "Thus far the alter ego has only gotten out two of our stories because they were important to my canon. The first was when we first met, which is obvious that's important. The second was Luke's promise to me." She waits a second, then explains. "As you may or may not be aware, when Jedi die they become one with the Force. Like with Yoda, Obi-Wan and Anakin appearing as Force Ghosts later on. Since it's pretty much a given that I will outlive Luke, I had him promise to visit me when it inevitably happens."
"That promise is supposed to be plot-relavent later on in your timeline, isn't it?" Luke asks her.
"Yeah," she nods, again making a face. "Your ghost talks me into finally giving in and starting the relationship with JB." She shakes her head. "Other than those two and some story scenes that are just those 'oh-I-have-an-idea-let's-write-it-down-but-no-one's-gonna-read-it-but-me' things, I'm not entirely sure what else we can tell. Though the alter ego is thinking of rewriting the two, so there's that if she ever decides to go through with it." Beat. "You know, until the next thing comes up and changes her focus again." She laughs.
