But like, imagine an AU where for once not all the moms die and Beru actually survives:

• Beru was at the market when the Stormtroopers came. She leaves when she has a bad feeling, and when she sees smoke rising from the farm, she starts running
• she arrives just in time to see Luke staring at the skeleton  that used to be her husband
• (she doesn’t really… realize it, at first, what the skeleton in the charred ruins of her home means, but then she looks at Luke, at the utterly frozen look in his eyes, and something just… breaks inside of her)
• Old Ben shows up soon after, and Beru tells him that he better have an idea to get them of the planet
• Beru has never left Tatooine before, but if the Empire killed her Owen this openly, than Luke and her are next on the list, and she’s not going to stand for that
• and anyway, Old Ben is a Jedi. That’s got to be good for something
• the Falcon is dirty and dinged up, but it’s flying, so she’ll take it
• she’s not sure what to make of this Han Solo guy, he seems a bit too much like the Hutt’s lackeys for her taste, but his partner seems trustworthy
• Luke is so exited to see the galaxy, it hurts Beru a bit to watch it
• especially the idea of helping a princess is very exciting to her boy, and Beru can’t help but remember his father, not her Owen, but that young and angry boy who loved that offworlder lady. Beru had often wondered whether Padme had been royalty, because she sure seemed rich enough to be
• Old Ben teaches Luke some jedi things, and the thought of Anakin disappears as quickly as it came, because that is her boy, sweet and curious and endlessly fascinated with the universe
• Alderaan is… gone, and for a moment, Beru can’t breathe, thinking about all those poor people, while the others are still trying to grasp what happened
• then they’re on the Death Star, and she stays with those strange little droids, because someone with a blaster should, and because Luke is already scared enough
• he doesn’t need to worry about losing her, too
• over coms she follows those boys misadventures, and wonders when exactly Han Solo became someone she worried about
• then everything happens incredibly fast, and the princess is safely with them but Old Ben is dead
• (coward, Beru thinks rather unkindly, leaving just like that when things get difficult)

This is so beautiful. I kinda want to read this AU now. I hope someone writes it.
