#Oh you like droids and shit? what you want is Hera.

[oh-three]

Ahsoka Ep5:

Okay, the camera shots for the opening were perfect.

Omg, I forgot they left Huyang. That poor droid. "I told them to stay together. But they never listen." 😭

HIS FOOTSTEPS ARE ECHOING. TELL ME HE'S NOT VADER.

"One is never too old to learn, Snips." Yeah, you'd know.

Hey, that is Anakin's lightsaber after all.

"I won't fight you." "I've heard that before." 😭

Seeing Anakin in his ROTS era again, dueling someone, it's like time didn't go by at all. The nostalgiaaaaaa.

HE IS FORCE-SENSITIVE.

CHOPPER can't use the Force, Hera.

Does Jacen know he's Force sensitive?? Holy shit, he can hear them fighting

KANAN MENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it took them five episodes to mention him.

OKAY, ANAKIN. CHILL.

CLONE WARS FLASHBACK!!!!!!!!!

HE HAS THE ARMOR.

LIVE-ACTION REX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, that's totally Ryloth omg.

"Do you even want a Padawan?" Says Anakin, who'd claimed not to want one but had taken Ahsoka anyway.

There's something very significant here about Anakin walking away with his lightsaber in the same position as the one he'd had walking toward the Jedi Temple during Knightfall.

Huyang's description of Anakin as "intense" is so right lol.

SIEGE OF MANDALOREEEEEE

REX DIALOGUE.

Aww, Anakin praising Ahsoka over how Mandalore went.

OH. OH, THAT LIGHTSABER IS RED NOW.

BACK OFF, VADERKIN.

This scene is fucking awesome.

The musiccccccc.

The rising water, the peaceful gradualness of it, reminds me of the Living Waters of Mandalore from Mando S3.

Also, the sunlight coming into the Ghost- it reminds me of that one scene of Andor.

remembers that no one knows what Sabine's done yet

HEY, SHE'S WEARING WHITE. Talk about rebirth. (the whole Gandalf thing)

Ahsoka standing there and sensing what happened between Sabine and Baylan.

"It's the fleet. They're on their way....I don't think they're coming to help." Yeahhh, we knew this was coming.

I see you up there, purrgil. Her plan is definitely to use the purrgil to help them follow Morgan.

They're literally just gonna use the purrgil to gtfo of there and deal with the New Republic when they get back Lmaooooo. Once a rebel, always a rebel.

Oh god, this scene is painfully peaceful. LOOK AT ALL THOSE PURRGIL. Now I'm sad all over again with the tragedies of Rebels S4.

Yep, that's a fleet, alright.

Carson being an MVP. The "oh boy" look on his face 😂

Man, the New Republic sucks.

Oh, so Hera did tell Jacen about Ezra and the purrgil.

Damnnnn, Disaster Lineage is at its finest right here. Flying into the purrgil's mouth for transportation between galaxies.

"It could go anywhere." That's half the fun, friend.

And they're offfffffffffff!!

Ahsoka is definitely living up to Rebels' legacy right now.

[tarisilmarwen]

Rebels Rewatch: "The Wynkahthu Job"

The space = ocean metaphor really getting stretched here.

Hoo boy, here we go.

Hondo's converted the Imperial shuttle he stole into his new pirate ship. Mostly by way of strapping cargo crates to the top like it's a minivan lol.

Love how literally no one but Ezra is happy to see Hondo.

"But it all worked out in the end right?" It in fact did not work out in the end my love, you lost the Phantom and nearly fell to your death in a gas cloud.

Azmorigan wiping his earwax off onto the door panel, gross.

Yeah no I'm with Hera on this one I wouldn't want to work with him either.

I SHOULDN'T LAUGH BUT HONDO'S BLIND JOKES ARE ACTUALLY KIND OF HILARIOUS.

Right so, Rebels kind of leans into this whole aesthetic of depicting space with ocean and seafaring metaphors, which I guess ties back into the whole idea that Star Wars is Space Fantasy, not science-fiction, imbued with the romanticism and swashbuckling adventure of weekly serials. We have knights and princesses and pirates, the most iconic weapon is a sword (Ezra's first lightsaber in particular is kind of akin to a rapier, and his fighting style evokes fencing), we have ancient wayfinders (bo-rifles and Lasat culture) and migrating pods of whales. And now we have a shipwreck being slowly drawn in by a whirlpool.

It's a pretty cool reoccurring element.

Ezra still looks a bit uncomfortable with Hondo's affectionate shoulder wraps.

I love that they brought AP for this mission, he's always hilarious.

Oh good we're at scene the first of my least favorite part of this episode, Ezra randomly being an ass for no real reason. It's especially jarring and grating after the maturity he showed last episode so frankly I'm just kind of going to wander away from that plot thread and ignore it whenever it happens, it's dumb and I refuse to entertain it.

There isn't even any real lesson learned??? Ezra never apologizes for being a shit and Hondo proves he is actually a good and loyal friend by coming back for the finale so what was even the point of this contrived piece of conflict? Nglh.

"This is your plan!" "I have factored that in. Without me your chances would be almost zero." <33333 I love him.

Hondo and Azmorigan play off each other hilariously.

Keen-eyed can spot Melch running around the corridors in the background.

I'm remembering why I tend not to like stories centered around or heavily featuring Chaotic Neutral characters, all the times Hondo's double-crossed someone gets very tiring and hard to keep up with.

"You attacked an Imperial ship." "We do it all the time." "Exac--Really?" I DIED. I LOL-ED AND I DIED.

That sighing eyeroll from Ezra in the background there ha ha.

I really am going to have to refrain from quoting Hondo every single time he makes me laugh, but this line about how they used to get none of the truth is hitting me right in the funnybone.

The gag with the door is great too.

Oh! The whole nautical swashbuckling adventure vibe I mentioned? Yeah, now they're gonna fight enchanted skeletons. In the form of the sentry droids.

The cable ziplines make this feel a little like a heist movie.

Ignoring this whole exchange...

Oohhh they are taller than Zeb, that's scary.

AP-5 FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE SENTRY DROIDS IN HIS SCENARIO CALCULATING LOL.

Hello Darktrooper precursor.

AP-5's sullen disappointment when Ezra tells them the first sentry droid got blasted lolol. AP you could have saved everyone a LOT of headache by just forewarning them about the droids.

This whole exchange. <333

Ezra that "I'll catch up." was dangerously close to "I'm right behind you." and also the last time you used that phrase you found Maul lurking in a pit. Do not tempt karma like that.

The sentry droids show a remarkable amount of strategic intelligence shooting the cable out rather than continuing to fire at Zeb and Ezra.

Worried Sabine be worried. :)

"It's okay! Zeb's got him! [Ezra]"

*raises eyebrow*

Interesting specification, Sabine.

This bit is pretty awesome.

And wow that was a quick climax.

Eyyyyy Melch is fine! And taught Hondo a lesson hopefully, lol.

This episode frustrates me because on the one hand it is HILARIOUS and I love the spacemariner and swashbuckling aesthetics of it but on the other hand *gestures to all of that*. With some tweaking this could have been the funniest episode of the series but as it is it just winds up landing as a mixed bag.

We're back to form next time, though, and we really don't stumble again for a good long streak. We're also going to start running into more and more episodes I've already liveblogged through. As I said previously those recaps will likely be shorter, unless I find something I really want to ramble about.

[femmefighter]

I'm bored, let's Go! Fandom asks, #5, #7, # 16

please and thank you

Woman, I AM SO SORRY that I'm only just getting to this now. I am a clusterfuck of a whirlwind mess. Please still love me anyway. I love running my mouth about random GFFA stuff.

5. something you see in fics a lot and love.

Characters that can't get enough of each other. Maybe they're in the middle of a galactic war, fighting for their lives, or maybe they're sneaking around doing psyops, trying to fly under the radar or whatever, but all they want to do is rip their other half's clothes off when they get a moment alone together. Delicious. Keep the passion coming, peeps.

7. your favourite tropes to read/write/draw.

I am an absolute sucker for a good 'friends to lovers' trope, with extra kudos for some pining, slow burn, anxious "they wouldn't see me like that" self-talk from characters etc. If someone can sell me a great story where 'that moment' occurs where a character sees the other in that different light that shifts things from the 'friends' to the 'crush' category, all the power to you. Give it to me.

16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate.

Oh, so I already answered this in echo's asks, but there's always more than one tiny detail! So let's go again.

It's probably not a 'tiny' detail, but it's something that I very much wish was better appreciated. I wish more people appreciated the fact that so many of our characters were child soldiers. Ahsoka, Kanan, Hera, Omega, Sabine, Ezra. Shit, any padawan that survived Order 66, or any character who grew up during the Clone Wars or Rebellion and chose/had to fight. What that means for their mental and emotional development through their teenage years and into adulthood. What that means when the war ends and they have to attempt to re-adjust to living in a galaxy where they don't have to be on constant alert?! The only character I see having successfully navigating that transition semi-healthily is Hera (Kanan would have too if he had lived, don't get me started *reaches for the tissues*) (Oh and potentially Ezra too, with his self-inflicted exile to Noti kumbaya camp for ten years to meditate).

So when people start saying stuff like Ahsoka's not her normal self in the Ahsoka series - yeah, no shit! She should be dead at least three times over, she's lived through two genocides of her people (I HC that she's adopted Mandalorian, after her involvement in the Siege of Mandalore) and she's a war hero who has known nothing other than war, with no war to fight. Woman needs therapy, but instead she's living the isolated, grey-nomad life on her vintage shuttle with an emotionally stunted, know-it-all droid. Hopefully we get to see more of her fiery 'snips' side now that she's been baptised by Ghost Anakin and made peace with her mentor having turned all evil Vader on her in season two. But still, I am more than okay with her character development from snippy teen padawan to mid-40s ronin.

Might've got carried away with that last one. I get a bit passionate about my blorbos 😂

Thanks for the ask!

[timeladix]

HOW ARE WE FEELING PEOPLE??

The next bit are raw and unfiltered ahsoka spoilers aka my reactions as i watched the first 2 eps:

Ep 1:

-OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT THE WRITING AND THE MUSIC AT THE BEGINING I WANT TO SCREAM IT'S SO STAR WARS

-the 'no jedi' are sooo andnhdhsj

-is that an apple of eden ahsoka???? Why are you searching for ISU artefacts??

-tennant is so akjsjjsjhr like yeah that s his voice alright i can imagine him at a mic doing the voice of Huyang i can almost see his face expressions aljdjsk

-YOU'RE LIKE A SISTER TO ME YESSSS SHE Izzzzz no sabezra canon yaaaaaassss (with no ill will towards any sabezra shippers out there this was just my personal wish bc i don't ship them)

-the nigHT SISTERS OF DARHOMIRRRRR OHHHHHHHH OHHHHHH OHHHHHH MY BELOVED WITCHES MY BELOVED AHHHHJJFJSHDJ

-ahsoka and sabine dynamic is so weirdddd like the resentment is almost tangible

-shin with her scout droid is like maul looking for qoi gon and obi one THE PARALLEL AAAA

-so she is SLIGHTLY force sensitive?? Like jut a tinni tiny bit?? GREAT THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO HEAR no full on sabine jedi GOOD

-chop and hera are so precioussss ahdhhsjhfjd 'keep your lid on' 'no i have't gone through you stuff' THE UTTER SASS that little orange menace is capable of oajdjns

-thrawn this thrawn that WHERE IS MY BLUEBERRY I DEMAND TO SEE HIS FACE ALL I WANT IS TO HEAR HIS VOICE AND THEN I COULD DIE HAPPY PLEASEEEEEEEEE I DON'T WANT TO WAIT WEEKS UNTILL HE'LL FINALLY POP ON THE SCREEN (even tho that's exactly what i'm gonna do :*) )

Worthy additions:

-the pace is a bit slow, like a little TOO SLOW you kind of feel the need to drag the plot on like yeah atmosphere and cool music and let's do a 360 of the scenary ruins cool stuff SURE but also A LITTLE MORE ACTION AND ACTUAL PLOT PLEASEEE that would be cool (at least it doesn't feel like doing the main quest in a video game I'M LOOKING AT YOU MANDALORIAN)

-i'm gonna say it IT FEELS STAR WARS like YES this has that sw feel not like the mando this is more towards the vibe of the movies (not a lot but enought that i could sense it) but also more dark kind of??? And more dramatic like PAHH prolonged shot of a ch just looking around PAAHH lightsaber fight PAHHH more drama just in the music and someone walking towards something PAHHH just a full minute or 2 of sabine on her speeder bike with rock music in the background... it feels more modern in a way?? More minimalistic i dare say

-HERA FUCKING SYNDULLA i enyoyed watching you be a mom/therapist for sabine and ahsoka

-shin my homosexual nonjedi you are just a sight for sore eyes

-baylan backstory WHEN

-morgan as in MORGANA as in THE WITCH I'm not complaining THRAWN CALLS TO ME THROUGH SPACE AND TIME shiiiiit the blueberry's not some mistique legendary mithical creature and force sensitive to CALL TO YOU my gorgeous witch he just has dat kind of brain that makes him so good at what he does i don't even know why he would even want to rejoin the ex imps like WASN'T HE LOYAL TO THE CHISS WASN'T HE A PROTECTOR A GUARDIAN WASN'T EVERYTHING HE DID ULTIMATELY TO HELP SAVE THE CHISS FROM ANY THREATH??? So ummmm WHY??

-SHORT HAIR SABINE YES

-I WANT A LOTH CAT SO BAD THEY LOOK FUCKING AMAZING ON SCREEN LIKE ALBDJAJHD

That's it ig:)))

[questforgalas]

Thoughts while watching Ahsoka Ep 4!!

(wow was this a rollercoaster, get ready for a lot of caps lol)

Seriously so in love with the set design

I’m gonna say it, I love Rosaria’s Ahsoka, she’ll never top Ashley’s but I love this portrayal of grown up, v traumatized, had to mature way faster than she wanted Ahsoka

Seriously this cinematography and set design is gorgeous

Ooooo mysterious droids

Utterly obsessed we get a live action night sister like so fucking cool

FALLEN JEDI?!? THATS THE EPISODE TITLE???? Fuck me

Gawd Sabine’s armor in live action is so cool

Ugh Ahsoka is so traumatized over Anakin. My wittle babygirl

NO HUYANG!!!!

UM OK POP OFF HUYANG THROWING HAYMAKERS LIKE A CHAMP

Is that the first ever droid brawl in Star Wars??? Absolutely amazing

SABINE USING THE BESKAR

A JEDI AND A MANDALORIAN

I LOVE AHSOKA WITH HER WHITE SABERS

“Stay together. You always did better that way. In my opinion” PARALLELED TO OBI WAN’S “we’ll be fine as long as we stick together” SOMEBODY SEDATE ME OH MY GOD

Jacen 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Oh my god Hera bringing Jacen and pulling the “when you’re a general but for now you’re my kid” line what a freaking boss ass mom

CARSON

Lord almighty Ray Stevenson was so good I’m so sad he isn’t able to enjoy this fucking killer performance he delivered

Oooo great robe drop Shin

Oh my fucking god do I love Ahsoka’s cocky slow eye flick to Marrock she is so good with the quiet confidence (that’s so Obi-Wan by the way)

Yo this fight choreography is fucking sick

AHSOKA PULLING AN OBI WAN AND MAUL IN THE DESERT AYO FILONI I SEE YOU

Fucking Jedi and their dramatics with robes lol

COMING OFF THE BAT WITH AN ANAKIN MENTION OHOHO BALON

“Really? He never mentioned you” AHSOKA YOUR ANAKIN IS SHOWING

Do you think Anakin and Obi-wan’s force ghosts are munching some popcorn positively giddy watching their padawan sass and slay like a legend?

How dare you mention her walking away Balon

Yes babygirl slay

Um such a good tennis match of dialogue here between Balon and Ahsoka???

Oh my god she’s so fucking beautiful 😭😭

Absolutely in love with the quiet of this scene, hearing the hum of the lightsabers and Ahsoka’s steps as she circles, felt so meditative and suspenseful at the same time

This happened so long ago but so funny that Marrock was the subject of every pre-series theory and he ended up being just some dust dude lol

Very cool shot of Sabine’s helmet in the forefront as Sabine fights with the lightsaber in the background

Yasss use that beskar Sabine

“Your legacy and your master’s is death and destruction” Balon come over I just want to have a chat

Ohhhh your padawan is potentially dead and you lose all focus?? Wonder where you learned that from Ahsoka

Smart move Balon going right for the family feels

Oh fucking hell Sabine honestly? He’s a white boy with blue hair he’s not worth it

Love the noises the map makes, sounds like a video game

JACEN’S FORCE SENSITIVE LET JACEN BE FORCE SENSITIVE

THE WORLD BETWEEN WORLDS?!?!? THEY ACTUALLY DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok but the way my eyes immediately welled up when “Hello snips” echoed

Ok the fucking eye acting with the “Hello snips”?? In a split second she went from cool, calm, collected Ahsoka assessing her bizarre situation to surprise, eagerness, and youth in a split second

IT’S HAYDEN’S VOICE OH MY GOD IT’S HAYDEN’S VOICE HAYDEN SAID SNIPS IM GOING TO THROW MYSELF OFF OF A BRIDGE OH MY GOD IM SOBBING

IT’S. ANAKIN. HE. IS. STANDING. RIGHT. IN. FRONT. OF. HER. FOR. THE. FIRST. TIME. SINCE. BEFORE. MANDALORE. I AM A BLUBBERING MESS OH MY GOD I DIDNT EXPECT IT TO HIT ME LIKE THIS OH MY GOD OH MY GOD LOOK AT THEM HIS EYES ARE SO FOND SHE’S SO HOPEFUL JUST AT THE MERE SITE OF HIM I WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THIS

UGHHHHH and then the fade out to the horns of Vader's theme holy shit Filoni

[engagemythrusters]

Hera is SO proud of sabine always. God she’s so good

Sabine always was Hera’s girl. Like. God I am. I love their dynamic it’s my favourite.

Night sister magic hellyeah

Fod this means they def made Sabine force sensitive didntw they. I fucjing HATE that so fucking much.

Yknow I’m kinda annoyed they wanna expand to another galaxy. It’s supposed to be just one galaxy. Far far away.

How does this puzzle know that anyway

Does this just. Is this just the path the purrgil always take?? I’m so confused how this puzzle would fucking know that!

This makes no sense!!

I really like Shin. She’s an interesting character. Always watching. Always calculating. Still learning. She’s gonna be so fun I can tell

T-6 shuttle ❤️🤍

PHANTOM

ITS THE FUCKIN PHANTOM

Hey so wait does Jacen just fucking go to boarding school or some shit. Where IS he?!

CHOPPER

CHOPPER CHOPPER CHOPPER

His bwaps are different >:(

STILL BETTER THAN NOTHING THO I LOVE YOU CHOPPER MWUAH MY HORRIBLE DROID

Wow what a capitalistic response to loyalty. Jesus. I hate Disney.

Hera: be nice to my daughter or else

She just really cares about Sabine and wants the best for her and just. Hhh. It’s the most important dynamic to me.

Bacta patch!!

joint custody lightsaber xoxo

Hey do you think I can make fire with popsicle sticks

Damn

INQUISITOR

Who r u

CHOPPERRRRR

my most evil droid <3 I love u

THATS NOT HOW AHSOKA HOLDS HER SABERS

What the fuck?!

She’s a backward holder

0/10 that pisses me off so much.

Chopper >:)

Very interested in this inquisitor. Desperate to know who they will be

Chopper always so ready to kill everyone in sight. Love that motherfucker.

HES SO SASSY

i am so happy to see him again

Hey is it weird that I want this to be Kanan

Like. Inquisitor Kanan would be so cool.

Came back wrong n evil

Yeah okay I know he’s dead n they’ll keep him that way but god I liked it

Yay chopper!

Hehe oh my god

Hiii mr turkeyleg

HER ARMOUR YAY

Oh she painted a purrgil on it 😭

She toned down her art tho it’s so simple now. She must’ve gone thru a dark time after Kanan and Ezra.

HAIR CUT TIME

the mirroring of kanans scene… god it cuts me deep

Okay but also. that’s not how you cut hair

T-6 shuttle 🥰

HHHHHHHH ITS THAT SCENE

It’s the tap scene 😭

Wrong time of day.

Also ahsoka isn’t in white and she doesn’t have the cool stick

Where’s the cool stick

0/10

I liked that stick.

God I miss Kanan so so much.

I do like that sabine did get to train more (now that I know she’s not force sensitive) bc that means she can spar with ezra when he gets back. Sibling activities. Roughhousing until hera comes n yells at them.

Not sure I like this big ship

I am so curious about that inquisitor

I do enjoy the end credit designs. Very Lothal.

Okay see y’all for the next ep next week

[curiositykilledtheradiostar]

I think all the star wars fans out there need to listen to some sci fi podcasts, then re evaluate whether THIS is really the media you want to put your emotional investment into. Disney is such a piece of shit and they don't even hide it, just so many of us are either numb or perpetually angry to a point where it's emotionally draining. Just saying, Wolf 359 will make you ask questions that some of y'all desperately need to ask yourselves. Penumbra is hitting so many sci fi tropes and vibes but flat out doing it BETTER than Disney ever could. They're both like if Star Wars was actually as good as we pretend it is, and then better.

[biwindblade]

| i’m still holding on, neon

→ KANERA WEEK 2021 DAY ONE, PROMPT: TROUBLE

pairing: kanan jarrus/hera syndulla

words: 3.4k

rating: t, for swearing and mentions of alcohol

summary: after nine long years, padawan caleb dume kanan jarrus is met with a friend from his past at the jedi temple, fellow (almost) padawan hera syndulla.

(shoutout to @kananjarrus-jediknight who helped let this au get way out of hand with me)

The neon light from the sign of Old Jho’s blinks unsteady, or maybe it doesn’t – Kanan’s head is still feeling pretty swayed. It was definitely the last drink he had – that had to be it, definitely not the long assortment of liquors that came before that one. That guy was just too pretty and his skin was so blue and his eyes were so–

His hand grabs at the outside wall of the bar, steadying himself and barely preventing him from crashing head over heels into the dusty Lothal street. He takes in a shaky breath, the fresh air would clear him up, get him ready to go back in. If the ground could just stop moving then maybe–

“Excuse me–”

And, with those two words alone, it’s like something wakes him up, the fog on his mind lifts, the heaviness in his eyes is gone – The kind of clarity, the instantaneous kind that only ever came from the Force.

And that voice, he knows that voice. He does. It’s different, but…

He turns to it.

This time he’s sure the Lothal moons above are shining within his chest.

It’s her.

“Caleb?” She says, the name dropping from her lips before she has the chance to compose herself. Her lekku go rigid.

He hadn’t heard anyone speak that name in nine years. In fact, he’d come to terms with the fact that he never would hear it again.

The look in those green eyes of hers only say one thing, the same thing that slips from his own mouth,

“You’re alive?”

She doesn’t quite nod but her eyebrows knit closer together in fondness. She’s seeing a ghost. Looking at him, but through him too.

He goes to take a step towards her and suddenly all the blood rushes to his head and the alcohol finally catches up to him. She dives to attempt an intercept before he crashes head first into the ground. She misses him by a second.

“Oh shit,” She mutters under her breath. You could’ve caught him with the F–

Thank goodness the sound of the bar muffles any of the noise they’ve just made. The dust she kicked up finally settles.

They, she thinks. But she nips it in the bud before she thinks too much more about it. Right now she needed to wipe off the stray dirt and was that - yup. A bar nut shell that had stuck to his shoe. Yup, that was Caleb Dume. Clearly they had a lot of catching up to do. It was taking everything in her not to just skim the top of his consciousness. It was funny, in the Force he felt the same.

He was dead to the world. She would definitely need to check his head when they made it back to her ship. Chopper wasn’t going to let her hear the end of it either but then again, she had told him before about the little boy who tried too hard to be her friend back at the Temple. It’s not like she had a lot of other people to talk to.

Geez, he wasn’t very easy to maneuver when he was deadweight. She does eventually manage to get him slung around her shoulder, his boots scratching against the scattered road on their path back to her pride and joy. The Ghost.

She was just hoping Caleb was still as eager to joke with her, because she wasn’t going to let him live down the fact that she had just carried him back to her ship because he was too plastered to do so himself.

Something in her did whisper that she had more of an influence in him passing out than anything else. She squashes the thought down as quickly as it came up, however.

She could still hear them teasing one another in the back of her brain. She catches a quick glance at his face, his facial features are more defined now, the bridge of his name is the same and his facial hair was surprisingly well kept. His eyelashes are still ridiculously long, for a male of any species.

His brows furrow momentarily and she looks away within an instant, he doesn’t wake though. Only stirring, but the good news was that the Ghost was now in view.

She fiddles in her pocket with her free hand to grab her commlink. She was really hoping he wouldn’t wake up, because even thinking about explaining the current situation was hurting her brain. Doing that when he was laying down in her ship’s medbay sounded a lot more manageable.

She presses the commlink, and in just a bit more than a whisper, “Chop, I’m back. Can you drop the ramp for me?”

She holds her breath, hoping to not be met with her droid’s usual attitude or for Caleb to wake.

The droid’s reply crackles over the comm and the ramp lowers.

“Come on,” She whispers to her friend, as she helps them both onto the ship. Grateful in that moment that she found a spot to dock that wasn’t too far out of the city. And it wasn’t like someone being drunkenly carried out of a cantina wasn’t a usual sight these days. Everyone had to deal with the Empire one way or another. It was just a stroke of luck there wasn’t a big Imperial presence around this part of the city tonight.

It’s more than luck, Hera. You know that.

As the ramp closes in behind her, her droid wheels into the room. Asking her colourfully worded questions in binary.

“This,” She replies, beelining for the medbay. “Would be my old friend.”

He stinks like behind a bar, her droid replies.

“Oh really?” Hera says, glaring at her droid. “I hadn’t noticed!”

She kicks off her boots, with Caleb still resting on her, she was really starting to ache from doing that.

“Maybe you could help me get him out of this room. So he can wake up without passing out on me this time!”

Chopper grumbles something, but obliges. She knew he was only annoyed because he could tell she hadn’t done what she set out to do this evening. But knowing he was alive kind of intercepted her plans. Besides, there was always tomorrow and maybe, just maybe Caleb would tag along and help her. Maybe.

She wasn’t about to go and get ahead of herself, but gosh that creeping hopeful feeling in her chest wasn’t any kind of help. She had to be more realistic. The world around her had taught her that all too quickly.

By the time she gets him to the medbay, he practically flops out of her arms and onto the bed, face down again. She lets out a sigh before rolling him over. Chopper complains something about him dirting the floor and shoves his legs up onto the bed properly. Definitely far rougher than Hera would've been. She really shouldn’t be surprised by that anymore, and after all, this was the first person she’d ever brought on the ship. There was always going to be some animosity.

She blinks herself back to the current moment only to realise her hand is still resting on Caleb’s arm. Her droid chirps at her accusingly.

“Chop, wait here,” She says, running a hand over the top of her droid’s head before running from the room. Clearly acting on an idea she had yet to share.

She returns with one of the spare blankets from the storage hold. And one of her mugs from the ship’s kitchen area.

You’re letting him stay here? Her droid asks her in an accusatory tone.

“He passed out, Chop!” She says, in something of a whisper-yell. “I couldn’t just leave him there. Besides, it’s not like anyone came out looking for him! I just wanted to,” She doesn’t really know where she was going with this.

She places the blanket over him, she places the blanket over him. “I just wanted to make sure he was okay.”

Right.

She huffs, before getting out the painkillers that she knew he was going to need when he woke up. Hera hadn’t been drunk many times and certainly never as much as Caleb was right now, but the fact that he was going to be met with both a hangover and his long-lost and most likely presumed dead best friend, well, it didn’t hurt to tread on the side of caution.

She fills the mug with water and leaves it next to him. And props herself up on the counter, it was late but she felt too awake.

The sight of him made her heart sit firmly in her throat. It brought back all of these memories and feelings she thought she had laid to rest a long time ago. Of inside jokes, of teachers long gone and stories told in a hush between their fellow younglings, of an ache so strong that it felt like nothing in the world would ever make it go away.

Or maybe, it just felt long enough ago now that it was easier to distract herself from.

Either way, it was a lot.

You going to sleep anytime soon? Her droid asks.

She laughs, “Eventually.”

She runs a hand over her face, before sighing into it. That was a lie and Chopper knew it as well as she did.

“You can power down for the night if you want. I’ll be okay.”

She crosses her feet together, bouncing them against the cupboards she’s sitting on.

Chopper makes a sound like a sigh and reluctantly he beeps out a goodnight. To be honest, she was expecting more resistance from him but today had been interesting for both of them.

With her droid offline for the evening, well, probably morning now. She still wasn’t quite adjusted to Lothal time. Which would make tomorrow even more exciting if she was going to get hyperlag.

Well, if she wasn’t going to sleep she might as well get something productive done. Read more into the intel she’d been given. She presses off the counter and makes her way back into the kitchen. Right now, it was time for caf.

There’s something restless in her as she waits for it to heat up. She didn’t feel right not waiting in the room, this was going to be worse if Caleb woke up and she wasn’t there. Standing still wasn’t doing anything for her nerves, which usually weren’t a problem.

She was supposed to be more in control with this kind of thing. She closes her eyes and draws into the Force, deliberately drawing in a deep breath.

Calm down, Hera.

New distraction, change into more comfortable clothes. As she does, she feels all too aware of the drawer near her bed where she kept her lightsaber. She hadn’t touched it in years but for the first time in a while she doesn’t tune out the singing the crystal makes.

Once she pulls her shirt over her head and over her lekku, the caf blips a sound in the air that it's done and by the time she’s changed it’s been just long enough that her drink was going to be the perfect temperature. She smiles to herself before cradling the mug in her hands.

With Chopper powered down for the night and not trundling behind her, it was really quiet on this big ship.

The door to the medbay slides open and sure enough, Caleb is still sleeping. His head resting against his shoulder, the blanket still covering him. He must have moved a lot in his sleep because his hair is now loose around his face.

He looks peaceful.

But, just to be sure, she hops back up on the counter so she has a good view of him. Just in case, she tells herself.

She aimlessly scrolls through the Holonet catching up on the news of the day. Nothing really of substance, more Imperial presence in the Lothal sector. Which could make things more difficult but if she could make up for the lost time today then she wouldn’t really have to worry about that much.

She takes a sip of her caf, and this time exits out of the Holonet and into the files shared with her and an unopened message from her contact.

The rest of the night passes without much out of the ordinary. She almost falls asleep at one point but the sound of someone sitting up in the bed wakes her back up.

So, Caleb Dume was the kind of drunk that woke up in the early hours of the morning.

“Good morning,” She says, looking up from the datapad.

He blinks hard a couple of times, and yawns. Then he finally focuses on who’s in front of him.

“Hera?”

She nods, a smile on her face. His voice holds far more emotion than just the name he asks. He seems to be taking in the surrounding of the repurposed room turned medbay. It wasn’t like she had the chance to ask him to come back to her ship. But, she wasn’t going to leave him there either. What kind of friend did that?

“Yeah, it’s me,” She answers, voice soft.

He nods to himself, his mind is clouded in the Force. It practically radiates off him.

“So you made it out, too?” He asks, his voice hoarse from the previous night.

She nods a couple times, before crossing her legs up on the counter and setting aside her datapad.

“We don’t have to talk about that right now,” She starts, considering she hadn’t really spoken any of it out loud ever, she didn’t expect him to do the same right now. He also still looked half asleep. “But I do think you should have some water.”

He scoffs, and she motions with her head to the mug she put beside him earlier.

“Thanks,” He says, lifting it in her direction. He downs it all. “So, about last night,”

He rubs a hand into his temple.

“Yeah,” She says in a laugh, looking at the wall beside her. “I’m just surprised you made it up those stairs out of the bar.”

“You’ve been there before?”

“Not exactly, but I did check the building’s layout before leaving last night.”

He raises an eyebrow at her. There was so much else they could be talking about right now, and here they both were discussing a local bar.

“Oh really?”

“Yeah, really. I kind of had plans last night, well that was before you passed out on me.”

He cringes, crinkling his nose. Just like back at the temple, like he’d been caught out asking too many questions.

“Sorry about that.”

She jumps down from the counter finally. He seemed open enough, but she didn’t want to push it.

“Look, I’m just happy you didn’t throw up on me.”

That earns a laugh from him.

“Also, I think you should probably have those, Caleb.” She says pointing to the container of tablets next to him.

“Kanan,” He says, correcting her.

“What?”

“My name is Kanan, now.” His voice seems stronger now.

Her mouth drops open, she hadn’t expected that. But then again, it did make sense. She never considered changing her name, it’s not like she’d even been formally made a padawan. Her name was hers alone. It hurt her to know that he no longer thought the same.

“I’m sorry.” Is all she can offer him. As much as she was trying to be composed it was proving to be more difficult than she had accounted for.

That and the more Ca – Kanan – seemed to come to, the grief in the room seemed to be pressing down harder and harder. The turtleneck she changed into feels tighter.

She finally looks at him again, and the sadness in those eyes of his feels like something is tearing in her chest.

“So, you’ve been alone too,” He says before she gets the chance to.

She tips her head to the side, getting a better read on him, just as he was doing the same for her.

“Well, apart from Chopper… yeah. You?”

He takes a beat before answering.

“Yeah,” His blue green eyes are focusing in, “I can’t lie, I’m still not really used to it.”

That was an invitation, Hera. Keep the conversation going, She thinks.

“Neither,” She replies. “It’s hard to forget how occupied life used to be.”

There was the lump in the back of her throat again.

“Hah, you can say that again.”

He looks up from the ground, and meets Hera’s gaze.

“I still can’t believe you’re alive.”

His voice breaks as he says that. I wish I knew you were, all this time, is what is left unsaid in that sentence.

She sucks in her bottom lip.

So, she still did that. For some reason, it offers him a sense of relief.

“I could say the same,” She finally says. The silence in the air was worse than the words they were using to fill it with. She takes a few steps closer to him. “Are you alright to stand?”

“I don’t see why not,”

Either he was lying or talking about the past was doing a good job of sobering him up.

“Follow me,” She says, opening the door to the hallway.

“You don’t want to wake your droid?”

Hera takes a look back at Chopper, remembering how much of a liking he had taken to Kanan earlier.

“Yeah, I think it’s best to leave him out of this for now.”

She hears his feet hit the ground behind her and takes that as time to leave the room, and the fact that he doesn’t hit any of the walls of the ship on their way to the cockpit is also a good sign.

“Nice ship,” He says from behind, she doesn’t need to look at him to know he means it.

“Yeah, she goes alright,” She says, tapping her hand against the entryway to the cockpit and the door slides open in front of them, “After you,”

She motions for him to enter first.

“Wow,” He says, taking in the rising sun on the horizon. Her ship was angled perfectly to capture it.

She takes a moment to really take it in too. This was her first morning on Lothal, the sun seemed brighter too. Logically, she knew it wasn’t but – still.

“So, you live here?” Hera asks.

Kanan takes a stride towards the co-pilot’s chair, and crosses his arms against the top of it, looking over his shoulder as she comes to sit in the pilot’s seat. It was far more comfortable than the bench she’d been sitting on all night and her back thanked her as soon as she sat into it.

“Eh, not really. I got a job a couple of planets over and one thing led to another and blah, blah, blah.”

She nods her head, listening to him. Closing her eyes to really take in the warmth of the sun even through the ship’s viewport.

“You can sit down if you want,” Hera says. She can feel him hovering in the spot he is, unsure whether doing so was crossing a boundary.

“This is comfortable,” He answers. “Thanks for the blanket, by the way.”

She opens her eyes to see he’s readjusted it to wrap over his shoulders like –

“You ever miss wearing them?” He asks, completely out of the blue.

Clearly, she wasn’t the only one sensing the other in the room. Even if that always had been more of her thing. She remembers first trying them on, the arms far too big for her.

“Yeah, I do.”

She looks across at him, and he’s already looking at her.

“Kanan,” She starts.

And, for the first time, hearing that from her in that voice… It was like the name he’d chosen to stay alive finally had meaning. Like his name could mean something.

“I know I said you didn’t have to talk about it, which is true and I truly don’t mind, but I have to tell you.”

Her steels her jaw, pressing her tongue to the top of her mouth to stop the tears. It was her tried and tested method.

“I didn’t think I would ever, ever see you again. And I know you feel the same way, and I know a lot has happened and we’ve both changed and chances are I really don’t know you anymore but–”

She stops herself. This was the most she had opened up to anyone in the longest time.

“But–” She hears him say. “–it feels like this was meant to happen.”

“Exactly.”

She was wrong, and for what felt like the first time, she was happy to be. Her face softens as she starts crying and when she blinks the tears away and looks at him, there’s tears in his eyes too.

They both smile at each other. Basking in all the moment has to offer. Two Jedi, two survivors finding one another.

“This is gonna be trouble, isn’t it?” He says, looking out the dawn on Lothal.

Nothing else needed to be said, Kanan answering the question Hera hadn’t been able to yet speak aloud. They’d made their way back to each other. There was no way anything in the whole galaxy would get in the way of that. They had a lot to catch up on, and it would take time.

But she had this bursting feeling that had they had that one their side.

“When have we not been?”

[the-yearning-astronaut]

If you could crossover mandolorian with anything, anything at all, what would it be, and what is the optimal amount of shenanigans?

Oh gosh ummmm. Gut reaction says Rebels cause I really really want to see Din and Sabine interact and I think Grogu and Ezra would get up to some GREAT mischief. Plus Zeb tickling Grogu's ears and being utterly soft with him. Kanan having a crisis cause Grogu looks like Yoda but a baby and were they really both on Coruscant together?? Din and Hera bonding over Parent Feels and dealing with ridiculous children. Din being very wary of Chopper, especially when he boasts of his outrageous kill count, but eventually growing grudgingly fond of the murder droid. There might be some issues with Kallus and Din getting along.... (Oh shit did Kal and Gideon know each other? Both are ISB...I'm gonna have to go look up that timeline now...)

BUT. that's a cop-out cause they're in the same 'verse already lmao. So....

Jdjcjejd anywhere I try to imagine Din I just see him sighing like "yeah ok sure. Why not."

Marvel? *Tired dad sighing as he powers up his Amban rifle while yet more havoc is let loose upon the city*

The Expanse? He'd do what he already does: ignore politics, sigh, and teach his kid how do things like hotwire ships and shit.

Good Omens? Crowley would pick Grogu up by one ear pulling *that* face and then we might run into issues of Din whipping out his blaster and shooting Crowley (or trying to) and there would definitely be shenanigans and Din wouldn't like Any of It.

Leverage? "Let's go steal a baby." The team would have been in and out of Gideon's ship in no time, almost completely unseen, and Luke would have shown up 30 minutes late with Starbucks to find no child but a whole lot of chaos and smoking troopers....

[twilightofthe]

Tell me ALL your SW faves

Aaaaaa thank you!  This took a while cuz this got long, lol sorry!  Aight, so here’s ALL my SW faves for this ask prompt list!

FAVE MOVIE: Revenge of the Sith.  10000%.  It just has everything!  You get to see the Obikin relationship in all its glory, first and foremost, how much those two loved each other more than anything and knew each other better than anyone, and just how much they genuinely got along and then we got our hearts broken watching them have to fight after Anakin made his Goof Of The Millennium and just oooooof all the feels about my boys!  Seeing Padmé and just loving her so gotdang much for being strong and wanting the best life for everyone, all while she was so scared and had so little support from anyone, and just couldn’t do it in the end.  Seeing the end of the Republic, how after a thousand years, just, *poof*, just like that in like two days (yes, I know Sidious was planning it for over a decade but still), the horrific fascination on how Sidious was able to do that.  Just the brilliance of Sheev’s character, how you despise him, but how brilliantly everything was pulled off.  The angst of Order 66, how especially after TCW you love these characters SO MUCH and then you gotta watch them DIE HORRIBLY BY THOSE THEY TRUSTED, THOSE WHO NEVER HAD A CHOICE EITHER.  Did I mention feeling so freaking bad for Obi Wan and his Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day???  Because I really do, he’s so good and kind and we see his life fall apart and ugh I love him.  And y’all, watching Anakin Skywalker fall from grace like the brightest angel he was, you hate him for what he did, but you still can’t help but love him and cry for him and his loss because he was so good, and he did not deserve all this to happen to him but he did it to HIMSELF AAAAGGHHHH.  Also, Obes and Ani were at peak prettiness this movie!!  Just asdfkjglkdskajsrlk best movie love so diggity dang much

FAVE PAIRING: Oh, how EVER will I choose– Obikin.  It’s Obikin, all the way, no contest.  I know I’ve yelled about it a million and one times so I’ll save y’all the rant on how much I adore these disasters and their relationship and how I think they’re goddamn soulmates and the most interesting dynamic in the entire Saga.  I ship them romantically and platonically and just everything, they’re so fucking important to one another and that’s why it hurts so much to watch them fall apart, and that’s why I’m so incredibly happy that they get to canONICALLY SPEND THEIR ENTIRE AFTERLIFE TOGETHER BECAUSE FORCE GHOSTS HELL YEAH.  If I had to pick just secondary fave romantic and platonic relationships, hmmmm that’s hard.  BUT, I’m gonna have to go with Kanera for romantic; SWR was what got me back into Star Wars and one of my favorite parts of it was watching Kanan and Hera, how much I loved them separately, but just how much they were a team together and I love them and I was unbelievably upset when Jedi Night happened (and I still have a rant about how animated Star Wars kills off their romantic couples in the exact same manner, pls ask me about how TCW’s The Lawless and Rebels’ Jedi Night had basically all of the same plot points that ended in killing off a romantic lead).  For other fave platonic relationship, gonna have to go with Luke/Han/Leia BROT3 (separate from Hanleia as a romance, which is probs my 3rd fave).  These disasters were the original Golden Trio, they saved the galaxy together all while yelling dramatically and having each other’s backs to the bitter end (or, at least ‘till the end of ROTJ lol) and I just love them as a team so dang much

FAVE TV SHOW EPISODE: Okay, since there are four TV shows, it’s only fair for me to pick one (or more don’t judge me) from each!  Let’s see, from The Clone Wars, my fave eps have to be the entire Mortis trilogy arc in S3 because Obes/Ani/Snips family dynamic, Force Shenanigans, BEAUTIFUL scene designs, Anakin angst, just so many good things oof, and also Dooku Captured from S1, which I just adore because Obikin snark, annoying Grandpa Dooku, Hondo Fucking Ohnaka making everyone look so bad at their jobs, I just love it agh.  Whoops that was technically four faves, so gotta do four for Rebels too!  Gonna go wiiiiith World Between Worlds from S4 for Badass Ahsoka Tano, Ezra being brave and talented, Sheev being Absolutely Ridiculous, and just the overall Force Shenanigans cuz canon time travel y’all; The Lost Commanders from S2 because Rex is awesome, Kanan angst, and really good Kanan and Ezra bonding and Jedi awesomeness, Fire Across the Galaxy from S1 because of Ghost fam dynamics, Kanan angst, more Kanan and Ezra bonding, and just good stuff, and Twilight of the Apprentice in S2 (lol what about my username?) for being creepy and cool and maKING ME CRY ANAKIN YOU STUPID THRICE COOKED TOILET SEAT LEAVE AHSOKA ALONE.  *cough*  Ok, fine, I’ll stick with only one ep for the other two series.  For Resistance, gonna have to go with the latest ep, actually!  We get to see Kaz being clever and caring about his fam on the Colossus, really cool designs for Aeos and its people, Tam angst, and just everyone shining!  For The Mandalorian, it’s gotta be the finale, Redemption, we get Din name, Armorer kicking everyones asses and me loving it, BABY YODA DOING THE HAND WAVE, Din getting over his issues with droids and connecting with IG only for IG to FUCKING DIE, DIN AND BABY YODA BEING AN OFFICIAL CLAN OF TWO, Taika just knocking this whole episode out of the park with the funny scouttroopers at the beginning who still deserved the ass-whooping they got for fucking murdering Kuiil and hiTTING BABY YODA YOU SLIMY FUCKNUGGETS–

FAVE CHARACTER: Alright, look, I can narrow it down to FIVE and that is IT.  I just love too many Star Wars characters, I can’t go lower than top five!  Ok, so my four favorites are Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Leia Organa, Kanan Jarrus, and Finn Skywalker-Dameron-Tico (i SAID what i SAID.)  AIGHT so for starters, a lot of my favorite characters in different franchises fall under various archetypes I have for faves.  Obi Wan fits one of my more popular ones: “Old, reluctant and more than slightly-questionable parental badass with a mysterious past that makes you love them all the more when you realize just how beautiful and tragic and deserving-better they were when that past is revealed”.  I latched onto this dude from the start when I just liked the OT (tho Leia was always my fave lol), and I wanted to know about him, and then when I finally started getting into the PT and TCW, it was just a steady stream of “oh no he’s hOT?” “oh no he’s sAD?” “oh no he’s nICE?!? REALLY FUCKING NICE AND A BIT OF A MESS HELP” and then I just totally latched on because he’s hypercompetent at literally everything and looks damn good doing it and boy do I have a thing for competence, charming as all hell and goes through so much and comes out strong despite the fact that fate hates his fucking guts and tries to destroy his life constantly and guys he tries so hard and he’s kind of messy sometimes and a bit of a dick and I love him all the more for it because he’s trying, none of that do-or-do-not shit, he is doing his damn best and deserves happiness and not Anakin tearing him apart.  SPEAKING OF SAND MAN.  Ugh, so I love Anakin to fucking death and that makes me REALLY MAD ABOUT IT BECAUSE HE MAKES EVERYONE ELSE I LIKE SAD.  So I love Anakin regardless because he’s not your typical protagonist.  He’s fucking brilliant, hot when he fights, is amazing at fighting and flying and building stuff and there’s that competence thing for me again, oh boy!  He’s funny and kind and he cares.  And somehow, this bitch manages to have the two most beautiful, amazing people in the galaxy in love with him and willing to do basically anything for him like the fuck?!?  Jealous much??!?!?!?!  I am!!!!  He’s so fucking bright and it’s impossible to look away.  He’s also a dorky, messy disaster who’s not good with people or feelings or emotions and he panics over stuff and doesn’t know self-control and is kinda really bad at his job a lot and pushes away the people who care about him and screws up literally all the fucking time and he always feels like he’s drowning and alone and I get to watch him crash and burn under the weight of it all.  Basically, minus the anger issues and the child murder and the murder in general, I kinda relate a lot to Anakin.  I feel like a self-hating mess who doesn’t know how to control my ow head and the world hates me a lot too.  I can project my mental issues onto him, enjoy the good parts of him, live vicariously through the things he does that I can’t like be loved by pretty people and be hot and athletic and smart, and then when he crashes I can side-eye and remember that at least someone’s doing worse than me lol.  So yea, I love this messy boi to death and he’s the one I get the best characterization reviews on, so I guess we have an understanding.  Leia I loved since as a kid.  I’d want to be her, brave, talented, smart, strong as hell and snarky to boot.  I realize that Leia fits another fave character archetype of mine: “Powerful young adult raised for greatness, did not ask for all the horrible shit that’s happened to them, highkey wants a break and for the bad guys to just roll over and die, is generally clever, hypercompetent, and 100% done with everyone else’s shit, overdramatic as all hell and enjoys insulting people”.  Her and Han were my first Star Wars ship and she just always made me happy seeing her kick names and take ass.  She’s gone through almost as much hell or maybe more so than Obi Wan, she also keeps getting back up and fighting, she deserved SO MUCH BETTER than what the Sequel Trilogy gave her and you may quote me on that.  She’s also gorgeous and I wanted to wear all of her clothes (bikini not included).  I also love her relationship with Luke and I am so goddam happy it is now canon that Leia Organa did Jedi training and can use a lightsaber!!!  She has a lightsaber!!!!!!!!!!  Ugh oof I love her.  Kanan fills the similar “mentor” archetype as Obi Wan does, but with a smidge of youth because he’s younger when he gets dropped into this role.  He’s more of a punk, more of a mess, and oof.  Basically I’ve said it a zillion times how Rebels resparked my love of Star Wars, but really, it was Kanan on the screen that did it.  It happened when the Rebels season 3 premiere eps ended up on the TV and I saw it and I thought in order 1. holy shit that Maul fucker’s actually alive? and 2. Oh no sad blind Jedi man!  He’s cool and mysterious and I want to know why he’s sad and who made him sad and also want to give him a hug!!!  He was my fave character all throughout Rebels and his training dynamic with Ezra, struggling to help this kid all while flying by the seat of his pants because he had Issues and no clue what he was doing and no support and ugh, he was smart and brave and I’m so sad he’s dead and yea.  Finn!!!!  Last but not least!!!!  He was my favorite character from The Force Awakens.  People have said it before, but he was just so new, a rebel Stormtrooper stolen and brainwashed at birth, finding the good guys and fighting to do the right thing!  Possibly Force Sensitive!  Super duper cute!!!  Funny and kind, dammit, when not many other people in the galaxy were!!!!!!!!  I was so, so sure Finn was gonna be a Jedi along with Rey at some point, that might have been my biggest letdown when I saw TLJ, but ugh I just loved his enthusiasm and his war within himself, ultimately loving his friends and trying to do what was right at the risk to his own safety, even though that was why he ran scared in the first place!!!!!  I shipped him with Rey and with Poe and now I am NOT above the post TROS Jedistormpilot shipping!!!!!  Finn was just always the most interesting part of the Sequel Trilogy for me and I personally feel like they could have done more with his character.

FAVE ACTOR/ACTRESS: Aight, so I try my best not to “stan” anyone famous because literally no one is perfect and everyone’s done something problematic at some point and if I dare say I like a famous figure, someone’s gonna find something about them and come after me all “OMG THIS PERSON DID/SAID/IS X YOU MONSTER GO DIE!!11!!1″.  In terms of performance, I think all the actors in Star Wars did a lovely job and I’m happy with all of them!  If I had to crush on any, it would probs be Ewan McGregor, John Boyega, or Diego Luna cuz, uh, they hot.  If I had to pick one I liked most, it would honestly probs be Carrie Fisher.  Maybe that’s just partially from missing her now that she’s gone, but I really admire her advocacy and transparence for mental health, and she just seemed like such a funny, kind, strong person.

FAVE PLANET: Aight, this is HARD and I refuse to only pick one planet!  Ok, gonna start off with Coruscant because an endless city planet made up of lights is amazingly gorgeous and it has a Jedi Temple stacked on top of a Sith Temple and is just so cool aaaaa.  Also love Felucia just for being so bright and colorful and pretty.  Mortis for being just as weirdly gorgeous and also Weird Force Shit.  Lothal for the beautiful mountains, the wolves, and the fucking lightspeed center of the planet passage what, Dathomir is delightfully creepy to look at, Crait is really cool with the salt and the red and the ice foxes, Kashyyyk because Wookiees and it’s pretty and I love their treehouses.  Basically if it makes me clap my dumb monkey hands and go “oooh pretty!”, I love it.  The more “not like Earth” it is, the more I love it.

FAVE SPECIES: Hmmmmm, this is a tough one…….  There’s just so many cool-looking species that we know so little about, ya know?  I wanna say either Togrutas or Wookiees.  Togrutas just because the character design is incredible and so fun to work with and also I love Ahsoka, and Wookiees because they have such an interesting culture and backstory and also I want to give Chewbacca a hug.

FAVE CONCEPT: Uhhh, not quite sure I get the question; you mean like just story concept in general?  If that’s it, I’m gonna have to go with just the whole concept of the Force and the Jedi in general.  I mean George, George my man, what the fuck?  How the hell did you come up with this?!?  Mystical psychic space wizards with magic abilities to connect with and use the sentient godlike life force that combined the entire galaxy together.  Oh and also they have COLORFUL GLOWING LASER SWORDS?!?!?  It’s honestly one of the most creative things I’ve seen in popular culture, and that makes me sad that Star Wars now seems to be trying to separate itself from what I think is its most interesting quality because “ugh not EVERYTHING should be about the Jedi guys!”, when like, y’all, without the Jedi, the entire SW universe is basically just another military scifi war story……  Just my opinion tho.

FAVE SHIP: Ok, since pairing was already up there, I assume this means actual ship?  Well, uh, gonna have to be square with y’all, I’m a bad Star Wars fan for this part; I’ve never been the one to memorize ship names and designs and know the exact make and model number of some fancy ship, I’m real bad at that lol.  I’ll say my favorite ship is the Ghost.  Hera flies it and the Rebels Fam lives on it and it’s super cool and it makes me happy!

FAVE WEAPON: LIGHTSABER.  LIGHTSABER LIGHTSABER.  LIGHTSABERLIGHTSABERLIGHTSABERLIGHTSABERLIGHTSABER.  Y’all, c’mon, what did you think I was gonna pick? xD  Lizard brain want glowy shiny colorful big stick that goes whoosh!

FAVE BACKGROUND EXTRA: Again, not entirely sure what this means, but do you mean fave background character?  If so, then it’s a tie between Wilrow Hood and his ice cream machine for the memes, that one clone in TCW who yeets a plate of toast at Cad Bane’s face, or that one background soldier who scoots between Han and Leia arguing in ESB and also Hera and Kanan arguing in Rebels (yes I do headcanon it’s the same guy lol)

FAVE MOMENT/SCENE: This one’s actually pretty easy.  Anakin dying in Luke’s arms in ROTJ, and then his ghost showing up to Luke later at the Ewok party.  I just care so ridiculously much about stupid Anakin and his stupid story and mistakes, and even before I was a prequels stan and had only seen the OT (and wasn’t a huge Vader fan, believe it or not), some part of me just felt so solemn, so fragile watching this, watching the giant monstrous machine falling apart as he fades away to reveal a weary, tired old human man, and it always made me wonder, what the hell happened to him to turn him into that thing?  Seeing that young, beautiful man, basically Luke’s age, showing up as a ghost later, just the fascination, the tender look he shared with Old Ben, just how young he was, that made it all the more mysterious and knowing what I do now, it’s just so much better because my poor, horrible Disaster Man finally did the right thing and he finally found peace and it’s just the only ending I could be happy for Anakin with,  And Luke, I always felt so bad for Luke, being so strong, so brave, finally getting his father back for like five damn minutes and then having to lose him again and just hurting for him but also knowing that it was gonna be okay because Luke had more family now, the ghosts, and Han and Leia and Chewie and R2 and 3PO and Lando and everyone.

FAVE KISS: Luke and Leia (HANG ON LET ME SPEAK) forehead kiss in The Last Jedi.  I know (this one) isn’t meant as romantic, and I know the question is probs about a romantic one and I know that it’s not even a real mouth kiss.  But.  That Luke and Leia scene was my favorite part of the entire movie.  Again, I was missing Carrie a lot, and ugh, after all these years, after not getting to interact the entire previous movie and not at all during this movie, the ONE scene with Carrie and Mark and the pure emotion of it all just knocked me out of my fucking seat.  You could see how connected they were as siblings, how much Leia had missed Luke, how much he had missed her and how sorry he was for leaving, sorry for Ben, sorry for having to leave her again now, Leia knowing Luke was about to die, and just, acceptance.  Love and acceptance.  It was just a final, tender kiss on the forehead, and it was perfect and yeah.  If I do have to pick a romantic lip smooch, it’s probably the Hanleia classic “scoundrel” kiss in Empire Strikes Back.  I still remember watching ESB the first time as a KID and being all eeeeeeee are they gonna– YES they kissed they kissed they kissed finally! and that’s enough for me.

FAVE FIGHT: Obi Wan and Anakin on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith.  WIthout question.  It’s brilliantly and precisely choreographed to show the intricate nuances of the Obikin breakup in alllllll of its painful glory.  It breaks my heart every time I watch it because every time I watch it I still hope it’s gonna end differently.  That Anakin realizes he can’t kill Obi Wan and ditches Sidious and goes back with Obi Wan to save Padmé.  That Obi Wan realizes he can’t let Anakin die and saves him from burning and from Sidious and takes him back too.  That Obi Wan at least puts Anakin out of his misery which would be godawful painful, but would save him from the horrid life as Vader.  That while they’re fighting, a lava monster appears like in the concept art and Vader and Obi Wan have to put aside their differences and fight the thing and remember how much they mean to each other.  But ugh, this fight was beautifully choreographed and was originally supposed to be a MULTI-MINUTE SINGLE SHOT WHAT THE HELL???  Oooof Hayden and Ewan did such an amazing job and the whole thing just rips my heart out every time in the bestworst way possible

��FAVE LINE OF DIALOGUE: Now THIS is hard, I’m not the best at picking favorite lines.  Hmmm, this is HARD.  Let me think.  Gahhhh, it’s hard because I have so many lines I like and I can’t even just narrow down a couple!!!  Ultimately, it’s probably gonna be Yoda’s monologue from Empire Strikes Back: “Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter…”  Just that entire line saying how basically all of us are more than the sum of our parts, that everyone is their own sparkling light made of stardust, I loved it as a kid and I love it now. 

FAVE BOOK/COMIC: Answered here

FAVE HERO: Gonna go with Obi Wan!  I already rambled about why I love him, but y’all……. I love him.

FAVE VILLAIN: Anakin Skywalker/Darth McFucking Vader.  I loved him when he was a hero and the silly poor sad boy makes me sad when I see him as a villain all while being an overdramatic asshole and it just makes me wanna hit him with a newspaper for ruining his life and everyone else’s I love him.

FAVE OUTFIT: Answered here

FAVE CREATURE: I love Lothcats/Tookas!  I just heckin’ love cats and now there’s spACE KITTIES WITH SUPER FOOFY TAILS AND BIG EARS OMG Y’ALL I LOVE THEM I JUST REALLY DO AND I REALLY WANT ONE SO I CAN CUDDLE IT ;_;

WHEW.  That was all of the faves, thanks so much for asking me!!!  Sorry this took so long to do, this was kinda a hell week haha!

i just. i just love hera syndulla. like so much. SO MUCH

“hey fuckface! that’s what you get for messing with my droid!”

ezra’s pjs ;u; babby

i can’t believe how much chopper loves his organics, what a good and sweet droid

the jump scare dkjlsjklslk ezra your’e so dumb i love you

wouldn’t it be great if ezra had kept those holocron pieces in the ur >.> dave please i’m begging you bring my boy home

there’s a lot that’s been said about obi wan vs maul but it’s just. so classy

also i never realized that maul actually has a musical motif until just now! i wonder if kevin pulled something from the tpm score! what i remember of his theme from twilight of the apprentice it fits VERy neatly with duel of the fates

oh maul. all that hatred and anger and rage and it all came to nothing. the jedi are dead. palpatine abandoned you. you could have let it all go! 

you were a sick sad son of a bitch, but you were a victim, too. may the force be with you, maul of dathomir

group huggggg :)

and the bluest bitch of them all makes his biggest bitch move

how many times does the rebellion get nearly annihilated dslkjfsdjlk like every other week it seems

kanan: time to go poke the bear god! :D

commander sato, and those two random dudes, your sacrifice will never be forgotten! may the force be with you!

thrawn feeling so strong and brave in his big boy hat :D

thrawn: what jedi devilry is this1!!! kanan: i don’t know a fucking thing my guy

“fucking shoot god. just DO IT”

ezra and the mando force is absolutely legendary

look at my talented ambidextrous boy :))))))))))))))))))))))))

“i see your defeat, like many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace” YOU TELL THAT BLUE BITCH WHAT’S GOOD BENDU!!!!

ezra you are so. idiot. unidentified flying moron

im love you so much you dumb shit

also every time ezra tries to impress sabine’s parents and just eats complete shit

MAN ok serious time: chat helped me realize that sabine was fucking 14 or 15 when the empire challenged her to make a genocide machine? that’s fucked up

and just the whole thing of it. using their cultural heritage to literally burn their culture down. what the heck

sabine :((((( honey

and just imo sabine would never want to be ruler of mandalore! legacy of mandalore made it EXPLICITLY CLEAR that the mandalorian way didn’t fit her, she has her own path of her mandalorian heritage combined with the family she made for herself in exile. mandalore cast her out, and they have only just barely begun to take her back in, of course she wouldn’t want to rule them. and bo-katan is their king in the mountain

that said pls to give me a bo/ursa/fenn rau triumvirate, PLEASE

aggressively does not think about the rest of season 4

[ct-hardcase]

there are so many women in that book that I am so hyped to have information and art about, including but probably not limited to:

(under a cut because I just decided that this is going to be an appreciation post)

Aayla??? Oh my gosh? Her mentoring Ahsoka was great and I love her interactions with Bly and gosh, she is just so good. I want to know more about her, especially in new canon, and how she is as a person.

Adi? Beautiful. Gorgeous. Showstopping. She has such a great personality and she fights well and I am here for it!

AHSOKA MY MAIN LADY. She’s just grown so much and I’m so proud of her and what she was able to achieve in her life. Any content for her is splendid.

Yeaaaa Pryce! She’s so evil and fun to read about! It’d be cool for her to get featured primarily in something like she did in Thrawn ngl and I’d love to have her PoV during the finale of swr.

Ventress! She’s so flawed, but if this book gives us some details about right after she turns to the dark side, I am going to drop to the floor.

Yoooo Barriss. It has taken me all of four years to warm up to her, but now that I have, I’m looking forward to this.

Beru! She deserves it! This is the recognition that the lady who raised Luke and has managed a homestead on the harsh land of Tatooine deserves. I’m so happy for her.

CIENNA! It’s been so long! Lost Stars was I think the first expanded universe novel I read for new canon and I loved it, and I loved Cienna, so I’m looking forward to literally any canon content involving her.

Depa!! I haven’t interacted with her character in canon, but I’m doing this one rp that involves her, so more details are always good.

I don’t read any of the material involving Aphra unfortunately, but I’ve heard she’s cool and gay so I’m down to read about her.

Enfys!!! I’m dying, she’s just such a good person, a radiant force of light, a true rebel, and definitely deserves a spot here. Heart eyes all around.

HERA! PILOT OF MY H E A R T. A Rebel (TM). A good mom, a good Captain, a good person, a good character, and just all around someone who was fun to journey with through swr.

JAS??? EMARI??????? SHE’S GOT CONTENT HOLY SHIT, I love Jas so much but because she’s only shown up in Aftermath, I have not been able to yell about her as much as she deserves, and good god I’m glad to see that she’s got a spot here. She’s a badass and has a heart that she desperately tries to hide.

I really like the fanon surrounding Jessika Pava, so her page is going to be fun :D

Jocasta! Big gun, bigger library.

Jyyynnnn, yes :D

I barely know about Ketsu, but I love what I do! Here’s hoping for some new tidbits maybe in there.

L3-37, the amazing droid who deserved so much better. I expect a full essay on her campaign for droid rights and how they’re treated in the galaxy.

LEIA ORGANA HERSELF. MY PRINCESS, MY GENERAL, TOTAL BADASS. She’s great. I love her.

Luminara! She fights so pretty and her philosophy is super interesting, so I hope that this is a good resource :)

Mira Bridger! My gosh! We can find out more about Ezra’s first Rebel Mom (TM)!

Norra Wexley, I’m weeping, she’s just so good and comes back from the dead enough to rival Shaak Ti, and she’s the mom that everyone in the Aftermath Squad (TM) needed but didn’t deserve.

NUMA YES

Paige? Man, I have a thing for heavy gunners that die during their first appearance, so I’m sure to enjoy this.

Phasma!!!! She’s so evil but I love her, from Parnassos until the Dreadnaught. 

YEAH QI’RA, fight for your freedom too!

Rae Sloane???? Us Aftermath fans have been BLESSED with this fine release

REY! She! Aggressive fighter, aggressive pilot, and the person that I couldn’t be happier to have as a protagonist of the sequel trilogy.

Our cute mechanic Rose Tico! I hope we learn more about her past and what she’s good at mechanic-ing!

SABINE!!! YEA MAN, GOOD REBEL, GOOD DEMOLITIONS, STOLE MY DAMN HEART, I just love Sabine so much, I’m glad she’s in this

AYO SEVENTH SISTER MADE IT IN, BE STILL MY BEATING HEART. Also, this means that there’s going to be art of her! I’m weeping, everyone.

Shaak Ti! What a Jedi, what a woman.

Shmi, who absolutely deserves this spot with all of her being. Deserves better, both by the swu and all of us.

STEELA YES I’M SO HAPPY YOU’RE HERE

SUGI!! HOLY SHIT!!! OUR KIND-HEARTED BOUNTY HUNTER QUEEN HAS GRACED US

Ursa Wren??? Gosh?? We are being showered with motherhood in this book and I am living for it

VAL, YOU DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER so I’m glad you’re here

VI????? My gosh, she’s the best, so kind-hearted, such a damn optimist!!!! 

ANYWAY TL;DR I’M SUPER EXCITED AND HYPED TO READ ABOUT THESE AWESOME LADIES

Bookends, Part 7A

Words came back to Kanan ahead of his other senses, then images that bled together in blurry vision. He went in and out of darkness, aware of pain and little else. Someone was always talking to him. Usually Zeb.

Attempts at speech ended in broken pieces of words. He willed a hand to reach out and confirm he was still among the living. Nothing in his broken body would respond in the few moments when he had some awareness of where he was.

He saw the world in streaks of color when he opened his eyes. He looked for some sign of Hera: orange pants, brown leather, green eyes. The best he got was Zeb’s purple fur as the Lasat stayed by his side and tried to keep Kanan awake until the Ghost could get them to a doctor.

Muffled, distorted speech gave Kanan clues as to where he was. He got pieces of sentences: how long, concussion, awake, broken ribs, credits, how much, take these. When he finally saw Hera, she was brushing off a medical droid’s attempt to scan her. He tried to get her attention by calling her name, but all that came out was an aspirated H sound before he slipped back into darkness.

That blackness took over and ruled him, accompanied by an overall dull sensation of separation from the rest of the world. If he could recall anything of his recovery from being jumped near Laramus base, it was the groggy brief moments between sleep when he tried to find a comfortable position in his narrow bunk. The numbness that took hold of his body dispatched the pain from his beating. It did not relieve the anxiety of a body under duress, working double time under the surface of desensitized nerves. When he was awake enough to move, he tugged at his clothes in a desperate attempt to take away the muggy fog clinging to him. Sweating, dizzy, and breathing shallow, Kanan fell into a panic. He grasped the edge of the mattress beneath him to try to get momentum. Get up, he begged himself.

He couldn’t, of course. Somewhere between wounded and medicated, he was no better than a useless lump in his own bed. Memories sped through his mind, colliding with his slow comprehension of what had happened to him. And Hera. Where is she?

He recalled his door opening and closing several times. Hera or Zeb would come in and kept the lights off, letting in only the light from outside his door to guide them. One of them would attempt to give him fluids to drink. Nobody would talk. After the door closed and sealed Kanan into darkness again, muffled voices outside the door would fade as Hera and Zeb left their friend to let the medication work on him, or as he fell asleep.

Kanan turned his head, a small gesture that sent him reeling all over again. Just a slight shift to look around the room made waves of nausea wash over him and turned up the ringing in his ears. But there was no pain. If he had enough awareness, he might have considered himself lucky.

The rest of his recovery ran a spin cycle through his fractured mind. The checkins. The bland drinks. The times when he cleared enough fog away to poke at his ribs and marvel at the lack of pain or any other sensation under his fingertips. But when the memories of the godawful club crawled back into his mind, he shrank into his mattress and gripped the metal bed frame. Not the memories of being close to Hera, holding her on the dance floor and offering her comfort on the cracked flats outside the club. Not even them arguing, which even in his state he knew he didn’t mind too much. Those thoughts were always chased away by the images of Hera in danger. Watching her stand up to the man in the club, Kanan knew she could handle herself. It was the way that he couldn’t see her when they got jumped and the way he couldn’t protect her with the barrel of a blaster nearly boring a hole in his vertebra. It was the look on her face he caught as he fell to the ground, like she would let the thugs tear her arm from its socket if it allowed her to jump on his body to protect him.

Almost as bad was watching her lose faith in herself as the mission unraveled. He knew her well after spending nearly every minute of every day together for months, so he knew the emotional suit of armor she wore on a daily basis. Simultaneously young and old, vulnerable and hardened, Hera walked a tightrope as their leader. She took on way too much in his eyes. All he wanted was to give her a hand; both his hand to hold and to help lighten her load a bit.

Hera scared the shit out of Kanan. Every time she picked up a blaster or threw a punch, his heart leapt into his throat. But he held back. She didn’t need saving. But he did need her, so much that he had to keep fighting. With her, alongside her, anything. As long as it meant she kept him around.

His heart pounded. He snapped awake again, eager to push the frightening dreams out of his head. He covered his face with his hands. Another humid fog covered his face, this time from his breath building inside his domed hands. He took a deep breath, testing his body to respond to a command. His chest inflated, painless. This time he could feel his muscles expanding around his ribcage.

He sat up on his own, slowly. His long hair fell loose around his neck and shoulders. The soft strands brushing against his skin sent a crawling sensation down his body. He went for the light and saw that nothing had changed around him. His quarters were still tidy and bare. A former prisoner of his own mind and body, Kanan stood on his own for the first time in days. His clothes laid on the floor in wrinkled puddles of cloth. He still moved slowly as he bent down to pick them up and dress himself, but his torpor wasn’t a side effect of the medicine. Whatever they put him on had worked itself out of his system. He couldn’t believe he was back after going through all that hell.

Zeb was the first one he saw when he emerged from his quarters. “Kanan!” Zeb said, almost bounding over to him. “How do you feel? Are you okay?”

“I’ve been better,” Kanan said to him. He took Zeb’s extended hand with a firm handshake. “I’ve also been worse.”

“Can I get you anything,” Zeb said.

“No no,” Kanan said. “I’m really okay. I just...I need to see Hera.”

Zeb nodded. “She’s still up, I think. I just talked to her.”

“Still up? Oh,” Kanan said. “It’s really late, isn’t it?”

“We’ll forgive you.” Zeb was all smiles. Nothing seemed to faze him since he confirmed that one of his best friends in the world was okay. Kanan looked at him, unable to hide his puzzled reaction. He’d let his intentions with Hera slip out. A potentially costly mistake. He waited for Zeb to be shocked at fraternization with the captain or other violations of Lasan Honor Guard protocol. After all, Zeb was a captain himself. None of this was proper.  

“You...don’t think it’s strange for me to ask about the captain at this hour?” Kanan tried to deflect some of the tension by appealing to whatever soldier sensibilities Zeb still had in him.

“Was it supposed to be a secret,” Zeb asked with a pointed look. He couldn’t help but smile. He knew before they did.

Zeb left him with an affectionate slap on the back. Kanan thanked the medicine that healed him, because even a friendly slug from Zeb could leave a mark. He went to Hera’s door, heart pounding all over again.
