Qui Gon: What’s up? I’m back. Obi Wan: I literally saw you die. You died. You were dead Qui Gon: Death is a social construct.

Imagine how horrified Captain Rex, trained as a by-the-book soldier, would be the first time he got a good look at a lightsaber.

Anakin: You want to see it? There’s not much to them.

Rex: Sure. Wait, where’s the safety?

Anakin: Oh, sabers don’t have one. I’m the safety!

Rex: …

What if when Grogu reached out at Tython it wasn’t Luke that sensed him, it was Obi-Wan & Yoda & Anakin and then they all immediately ran to Luke all excited and Yoda manifests his gimer stick out of the Force and starts poking and whacking him “LUKELUKELUKE LISTEN TO US YOU MUST. GROGU IT IS. LUKE WAKE UP GET YOUR SABER. GO PICK UP GROGU YOU MUST”

Okay so you know the ‘temple is sentient’ theory. You know the ‘force ghosts are real’ established canon from nearly the beginning of it all. You know that Obi-Wan’s biggest regret about the temple is that they couldn’t save the younglings. What some of you don’t know is that I am obsessed with ghosts and that makes the murder house plotline (and the constant throw backs) one of my favorites, and I’ve been catching up with AHS lately and I’m on Return to the Murder House and it’s giving me a lot of fucking feelings.

What I want now, is an AU where the temple held onto the children’s ghosts. Not out of malice, but because a Sidious was trying to capture the souls as they escaped to the afterlife to use them. Gain power with them. What if the temple was smart enough to pull itself into lockdown. What if those children and elderly masters were the last good thing on the planet because the temple pulled itself into a shield to protect the weak and little.

So. One day the war ends. At least the war against the Sith himself. And Anakin and Obi-Wan are left to drift, and brought back to the member of the temple that cannot be breached. It created a maze of hallways at the beginning that would spit you right back out every time. There was no secret passage inside the temple. None at all.

But of course, Qui-Gon comes to take both sons by the hand and tell them about the younglings and clones and Jedi ghosts that are filling the halls. Waiting till they feel safe and happy enough in the force to move on. How did the masters and younglings who died outside the temple get back? Mostly Qui-Gon, sometimes Yoda or Mace, or the guards of the temple. The ones that play with the mazes to get the wrong people back out.

Going back to the temple, it’s shockingly clean. No bodies up here. Just a lot of empty corridors. Peoples apartments are clean. The healing halls are functional, the gardens are green. Maybe it’s time to bring back Organa and Skywalker, to the place they should have been raised. They tell Luke not just to bring children like an idiot, bring their whole families.

They can control who comes and goes. And those who are allowed to be there have the run of that choice.

They hear giggles around corners. Shy masters sitting in the archives telling the same stories to the younglings over and over. Padawans playing hide and seek with kids. That big shiny Mando that brought his whole covert to seek shelter from those that hurt Mandalorians. The clones and others who talk to the convert like they’re the same.

Ethereal and unknowing and all encompassing, spanning more generations than it should. And finally the little ones are healing again.

feeling like i completely misunderstood force ghosts, who always just appeared to share some cryptic wisdom and help mc come to some big realization, but now forceghost!Anakin is just like ‘you look old, anyway let’s relive your toughest moments lol’ and drops Ashoka into the abyss because it’s funny.

#for a while I thought it was Lene lying to Dooku about the extent of the visions or Dooku unreliable narrating but now?#I think I just take this scene exactly at face value#he IS spending every other day in bed with the visions and the other half of the time being such an effective Jedi he ends up on the Counci

you know Ramil of Serenno doesn't get enough credit for calling Dooku 1. ugly, 2. badly dressed, and 3. "baby brother" to his face in front of Qui-Gon. I know we, the reader, are supposed to sympathize with Dooku in that scene and understand that Ramil has become a villainous ass like his father, but watching Dooku get straight up bullied to his face in front of his kid is PRICELESS.

A theory regarding Wolffe’s actions in Rebels.

We’re all very disappointed in Wolffe for calling the Empire on Kanan and Ezra in rebels. He pulls it out in the end and joins the Rebellion but we all know Master Plo was doing a disappointed face in the cosmic energy of the universe when that went down. And we all wondered why he did it. Was it the lingering effects of the control chip? Was it PTSD? Was it something else?

My theory is this: what if Wolffe was protecting a different Jedi?

One thing we know is that Cody was supposed to be in Kenobi. There was talk of him helping Uncle Owen dispose of some inconvenient Storm Troopers out by the sarlac pit. Of him and Obi Wan bickering like an old married couple.

What if between end of the Bad Batch and Rebels, or even before Kenobi, Wolffe, Gregor and Rex attended a very small wedding ceremony on Tatooine?

What if the reason Wolffe freaked out in Rebels and called the Empire is because he knew where the galaxy’s most wanted Jedi was living and he decided that giving the Empire Kanan and Ezra was a better option than being taken into Imperial custody and interrogated until he gave them Cody and Obi Wan?

What if those three knew Cody and Obi Wan were guarding Luke?

They didn’t even really need to know about Luke. Just the inner conflict of “I need to protect my brothers” could mean that he would choose Gregor, Rex and Cody (shacked up with Obi Wan on Tatooine) over these two strangers. One of whom really seems to have a problem with clones.

why is he like this

#him rejecting godhood but becoming a godly figure anyway because he's put on a pedestal by his peers#because they're not even really peers anymore. they're not at the same level he is. they don't have the power he does#and even though he doesn't want that status and he's not an egotistical person. well he's also 17 and flawed and invincible#and was offered actual godhood. and maybe it goes to his head a bit anyway. he's physically invulnerable bc of the curse of achilles#but then he just starts FEELING invincible in general. unstoppable (a la fight on the banks of the styx after receiving the curse)#laughing in the face of all his enemies even mother earth herself. they wanted a god? he'll give them a god#and with his loyalty and desire to protect his friends. being convinced that he's the only one who can complete this great prophecy#even though there's 7 prophesized demigods. he's the child of the first great prophecy. why not this one too#and with this mindset maybe seeing a little swapping of fatal flaws w percy and annabeth#he's got this hubris about protecting all the others and as it was for achilles. it's his downfall. the curse comes back to bite him#like percy already has a bit of a godly status from the beginning as it relates to names having power#because the gods and monsters all call him perseus. THAT name has power before he's even fully aware of the mythological world#so with all this power and the curse of achilles and all that. make people fear his name#and that shift into becoming perseus instead of percy. a living mythologized disfiguration of himself#and having to rediscover who percy is in all this

im so much more interested in a hoo that lets Percy keep the status and power he'd left off with in the Last Olympian and explores how he grapples with that instead of immediately forcing him back into the role of the underdog at the expanse of his prior development. Let the fact that he alone has the title the "Savior of Olympus" mean something. Let the fact that he is the sole survivor of the great prophecy mean something. Let the Curse of Achilles mean something. Let us see how it's a curse and how it could warp his sense of self. Let Percy be on a completely different playing field than the rest of the seven (or even the other children of the big three at this point) and show us how it alienates him.

Do you think the force ghosts like sit around and talk with each other? LIke they drink tea and/or wine and just gossip? Qui-Gon sits down with Luke and is like "Lemme tell you about the time that Obi-Wan did something embarrassing" and Obi-Wan is sitting there angry in the corner like a child.

Force ghosts are always an interesting and highly entertaining topic to me, especially when it comes to Leia. I don't think she spent any of her actual life studying on how to become a Force ghost? She must have gotten in the Anakin way.

I'm assuming Luke was the one to yank her into the ghost realm, but did he have to shove Anakin into a Force ghost closet so as to not scare her off?

Luke: I know you don't have all of your memories back yet, but now that you've fully transitioned into being a Force ghost...

Leia: Stupid name.

Luke: ...there's something you should know.

Leia: Does it have anything to do with Obi-Wan somehow slamming back what looks like space vodka?

Anakin hiding around the corner: *VIBRATING WITH EXCITEMENT*

[englishlotusflower]

We know that Leia was Luke's backup: my headcanon is that she would have been trained by Ahsoka.

Imagine Obi-wan's and Yoda's Force ghost dropping by to tell Ahsoka "We need you to train Anakin's daughter and it's urgent 😬"

sorry the only thing i could think of reading this was that tails meme

There is this fun continuum among the prequel/original era Sith Lords with varying levels of obsession with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Let us call it the “Obe-session Scale”. 

Darth Plageuis: True zero. Does not know who Obi-Wan Kenobi is.

Darth Sidious: The base value, the normality state if you will. Spends exactly as much time thinking about Kenobi as is fits with the degree to which Obi-Wan gets in the way of his intricate plans and how the man just won’t die already. 

Darth Grandpa Tyranus: Definitive duty-hindering skew. Dooku’s interest in Obi-Wan clearly affects his duties, by him having to constant lament how Kenobi did not join him or praise him for breathing in a proper orderly manner. The cause of a harsh discrimination in treatment of his grandchildren. 

Darth Maul Cockroach: The Kenobi obsession has reached life-defining levels here. It eats almost 3 decades of Maul’s life and leads him to his eventual death. But it also kept him alive once through sheer hatred, so I suppose it evens out? Nah, who am I kidding, that really only makes it worse 😂

Darth Vader: Built a Giant Bullshit Drama Castle on the spot where the Ginger Menace was last seen. Spends 20 years “secretly” hate-obsessing about him, after 10 of hero-worship and love. Cannot have a conversation with his son without bringing up Obi-Wan. Also survives something that should have killed him though the power of being really, really angry at Kenobi, but wins out over Maul due to passing his obsession on to his children.

Had an idea that one of the things that Anakin does when he becomes a Force Ghost is visit Ezra and thank him for what he did on Malachor to save Ahsoka :3

thats cute and cool in theory but...

it's what she would've wanted

You can’t convince me that the TL4J (which sounds like a droid designation) don’t have their wanted posters framed and hanging in the New Jedi Order. Both as slightly bragging and to show the young Jedi that peace is fragile and for a long time absent from the galaxy, but worth defending.

someone: the jedi order are weak pacifist peacekeepers the jedi:
