Star Wars Modern AU 2020 the Animal Crossing Era

So during 2020 they played Animal crossing new horizons a lot. Except Cody, although he played sometimes with Obi-Wan or watch him play (they live together).

Obi-Wan, Anakin, Luke and Leia are always in each other game or playing in the same room.

Same with Han, Lando and Lumpy.

If you were curious about where my recent Might-as-well Monday and WIP Wednesday posts were going...

Only a select few frequencies were allowed to bypass the ‘do not disturb’ setting and only in truly urgent circumstances. She stumbled out of bed and answered in a panicked haze. It wasn’t until she had picked up and began to hear the caller that she even registered who it was.

“Lumpy?”

The one where our favorite heroes get the “I’m at a party, and I’m too drunk to drive home and too scared to tell my parents” phone call from their nephew Lumpawarrump.

“Twelve hours is a hike,” Han complained. “Four days is a kriffing expedition. I don’t see why we couldn’t have taken a cloud car—at least as far as Thikkiiana City.”

Waroo—more properly Lumpawaroo, Chewbacca’s son—groaned a long explanation.

“Yeah, so we could’ve gotten back in the Falcon and flown to Thikkiiana City, and then that’s where we would’ve been starting.”

Waroo let out a very Chewie-like grunt of disgust and, shaking his head, started down the branch again.

“You know it doesn’t work that way,” Leia said. “The walk is part of the tradition.”

“No wonder they’re so slow to decide anything,” Han complained. “It takes half a year just to collect everyone.”

“Including us, ” Leia pointed out.

Today's Glup Shitto is: Lumpawaroo!

Chewbacca's son, born Lumpawarump, he was raised by his mother and grandparents, as his father was away for much of his youth, though still visited often, along with his life debt partner Han Solo.

A timid child due to a traumatic experience in Kashyyk's shadowlands in his youth and his father's absence, Lumpawaroo proved his rrakktorr, or inner strength, when he helped his father and family rescue Solo from the Yevethan leader Nil Spaar, passing his hrrtayyk, a wookie coming of age ceremony and earning his name.

Following his father's death in the Yuuzhan Vong War, he would assume his Chewbacca's life debt to the Solos, along with his cousin, Jedi Knight Lowbaaca, later assisting with relief after the bombardment of Kashyyk during the Second Galactic Civil War.

Lumpawaroo first appeared as "Lumpy" in the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special. He had sporadic appearances in comics and other media, finally returning in earnest in the Black Fleet Crisis trilogy by Michael P. Kube-McDowell, playing a significant role in the third book of that series in a classic Glup Shitto incident of putting an obscure background character into an interesting, well-developed role in later media.

Glup Shitto Classification: Can I just take a moment to talk about how much I love how the black fleet crisis gives minor characters a chance to shine? It has Chewbacca's family, Lobot, and is a whole ass military scifi story on top of that. One of the most underrated books in legends imo.

I finally watched the infamous holiday special and it is a tragedy I do not have the means or time to make gifs and edits lately. Especially for the holiday season. For those of you that enjoy Star Wars, Mystery Science Theater level of terrible movies, bad 70s tv and music videos (move over MTV), and want to laugh at something with friends — it’s worth one watch.

Related: I can NOT find that fic of Han and Chewie collectively lying and making up Chewie’s backstory of having a wife and a son named Lumpy/Larry. I thought I had it saved somewhere but I haven’t found it yet in my ao3 comment emails or in my fic history. It deserves a reread because at the time of reading I had not yet subjected myself to the holiday special.

Hello everyone, I updated Return of the Survivors today. Below is a small selection. Click the links above to read more.

Chapter 90 - Saving Chewbacca’s Son

“Approaching Mount Arayakyak in 30 seconds.”  The human pilot called out on the speaker.  

Chewbacca pulled up his blowcaster and growled a warcry.  Several of the rebellion soldiers yelled nonsensically in reply.  

When Bail had arranged to go and liberate Kashyyyk, he let Chewbacca advise them on which targets to attack first.  It was a very emotional choice.  Two targets came to his mind instantly.  One, likely held his Love, and the other his only child.  It pained him to make this decision, but in the end he knew what choice his Love would make.  She’d claw his eyes out if he didn’t go after Lumpawaroo first. 

According to Bail’s spies, sometime after he’d been separated from them, All children in his clan were sent to Mount Arayakyak.  His planet was being stripped of its natural resources and mines were built all over his childhood home.  The children, his child, were preferred slaves because of their combined wookiee durability and small hands.  On Mimban, he’d heard of many young wookiees killed in explosions because they were used to set the charges for a mine’s expansion.  Chewbacca closed his eyes.  He had only to imagine what his own slavery had been.  To imagine his Lumpy going through any of that, makes him angry.  And no matter how colorful Han’s descriptions of his irritation after losing a game of Dejarik are, the pilot has never seen him in a true fury.  

“Drop in five, four…” The pilot began calling.  Some of the men around him reached up to do another quick check of their gear. “Three, Two, One.”  Suddenly the floor to their compartment opened up and his team was dropped from the shuttle onto the battlefield.  

Their parachutes softened their fall.  Chewbacca looked around to see the rest of his team land.  Above, fighters flew east after their own targets.  But his team was after a different facility.  Lakii, their Sargent, waved his arms to signal them to approach the Dubacrete Behemoth on their Six...

so the Wookiee nickname pattern is pretty consistent:

Chewbacca -> Chewie

Krrsantan -> Santy

Lowbacca -> Lowie

Lumpawaroo -> Lumpy

Burryaga -> Burry (kinda obvious lol)

what do we, or the characters, call Kelnacca? Kelly? is there a jedi master nicknamed Kelly??

[wisecrackingeric-2]

Yes I have gone on the record to say that Luis Serra is my favourite fictional character ever but that’s actually a lie. My favourite fictional character is Chewbacca’s cannonical son Lumpy (short for Lumpawaroo) from the infamous fever dream that was the 1979 Star Wars Holiday Special (featuring Carrie Fisher singing and a borderline sex scene)

Set in 2012

Han and Lumpy, the first part

The second part of Han thought he was having a puppy but in reality he has a baby brother.

Of course Lando has to tell him. It was a huge shock.

Han is 5 and Lando 8.

Like all good Lucas fearing star warriors out there, I too have many ideas and opinions about what I would want or do if by a miracle and/or curse upon everyone else were to be put in charge of the future of Star Wars.

Unlike my fellow warsies though, I do not have any illusions or delusions thereof of these being Good ideas.

I don't want a Thrawn trilogy movie.

Nor do I want an adaptation of Dark Empire.

And frankly I never really cared for the Yuzhan Vong saga.

Nono, what I want is a return to form, that form being "genre pastiche of some shit the creators like but in space now."

Give me a Ghostbusters like going-into-business comedy about Hondo Ohnaka.

Give me the wolf of Nar-Shaddaa.

Breaking Bad but it's the pyke syndicate.

A slasher where a group of rebels are marooned on a derelict space station, hunted by Vader, who is after a force sensitive in their party, and is picking them off one by one until they surrender her to him.

Hell, let's do a singer songwriter prestige drama about Max Rebo.

This will make Disney negative dollars and they will all be relegated to the dank gym locker of Star Wars ephemera where they keep Lumpawaroo "Lumpy" Kaapauku (son of Chewbacca Kaapauku) and The Tale of Lugubrious Mote.

Wookiee Life Day

Star Wars: Life Day Treasury (2021)

[forcesung]

Waroo groaned an assent. He moved past Leia, crouched, and leapt across the main corridor, catching with both hands the corner where a side corridor led to the weapons turret access tubes. Even against the multiple gravities hauling at him, he clambered up until he stood on that side corridor wall, turned to face Leia, and leapt back toward her, this time grabbing the sides of the hatch opening well above her head—the opening that led to the cockpit access corridor.

Han’s voice came over Leia’s comlink. “Hang on, guys.”

Wincing in anticipation, Leia grabbed both sides of the hatch access where she stood.

She heard Waroo’s grumble of complaint.

The Falcon snap-rolled, spinning axially and simultaneously changing direction. Straining to hold herself in place, Leia saw nothing change around her, but she heard the sounds of cargo containers, furnishings, and loose wall and floor plates ricocheting around the freighter’s interior, and she felt disoriented.

Then she realized why. Above her, Waroo’s legs were no longer hanging downward; they were splayed across what should have been the corridor’s ceiling. That meant the Falcon was now upside down. As Leia watched, the Wookiee wriggled his way into the cockpit access corridor. He was out of her sight, but she could still hear him complain.

Leia rolled forward, an acrobatic tumble that propelled her into the main access corridor. She landed carefully so as not to crush any of the glow rods, sensors, or other items mounted on what should have been the ceiling but now served her as floor.

looking at your binder full of standard legal foils

[iamanerd1]

Random Star Wars Headcanons I WILL believe until they are disproved

Hera has to skip out of the battle of scarif early because her water broke while she was fighting (why we don’t see the ghost hyperspace jump out. )

Oh Boba Fett’s totally still alive after Jedi. (for context someone in the aftermath series of book is walking around on Tatooine wearing his armor, so AT LEAST his body made it out of the sarlacc pit)

Kallus and Han have had two fist fights on the Yavin 4 runway that needed to be broken up by Zeb and Chewie

Tam Ryvora is the sister of Finn. (I think it would be cool storytelling if Finn’s sister willingly joined the first order. And I do NOT want him to be related to Jannah or Lando.So, some point if Tam has to bloodwork or something an officer comes back to Commander Pyre and is like “We found something.”)

Ben Solo knows how to ‘navigate’ hyperspace in the Chiss sense of the term. And he kind of likes it because it’s one thing he didn’t learn from Luke

He also got the name “Kylo” from Chiss naming policies. I’m not sure how exactly it would fit, but because they don’t like boring single syllable names they rearranged it and mashed it up until the shortened version was “Kylo.” (Probably done by the navigators as a sort of hazing thing.)

Ciena Ree is wheelchair-bound after the battle of Jakku. Buckle up while in your escape pods kids!

Ben Solo also grew up wrestling Wookiees. Including Chewie’s son Lumpawaroo. There’s got to be a reason that that man is THAT big. 

Katooni survives order 66, but just barley. She’s doing fighter training while it happens and manages to jump to hyperspace to escape. But the ship is damaged/running out of oxygen quickly and the TRAUMA of feeling the loss of the entire Jedi order just breaks her. Eventually she is found by Hondo, but she doesn’t remember who she is or her connection to the force. Hondo raises her as his younger sister and teachers her how to be a pirate. Years later Ahsoka visits Hondo and sees her and thanks him. And also maybe breaks down because of it. (Less of a headcanon more of a fic I’m not sure i’ll ever work on. I am aware of the Katooni spaceship, whose to say she just doesn’t remember/use that name?)

Clone trooper Hunter is force sensitive, yeah I didn’t really by his whole “Ugh yeah I just have extra senses and can uhh.. hear the enemy.” And i’ve justified it to myself that there had to be AT LEAST one clone that’s force sensitive statistically in the GAR.
