#Rogue is trying to get me to take a break from SW by pushing me into the TTTE fandom

[mwolf0epsilon]

I find it absolutely insane that the Thomas the Tank Engine Fandom is overall amazingly good at drawing huge industrial machines like it's nothing.

I am honestly jealous.

I can draw people, animals, alien creatures and mystical beasts no problem. But if I try to draw a basic bitch car, I fail so spectacularly that it drives me to frustrated tears...

TTTE Fandom tell me your secrets!

A/N: debated for a long time whether or not I should just explicitly do the Rogue One crew or other characters and eventually I just settled for the Rogue One crew (because I’m kinda lazy I’m sorry). I also added gifs in this one (can’t guarantee I’ll add gifs for my other preferences tho), so hope you enjoy !!

Baze Malbus [x]

“Chirrut?” Baze looked behind him and groaned when he realized Chirrut had disappeared. Again. Baze always insisted Chirrut stay close to him, but Chirrut never seemed to listen. 

Sighing, Baze turned around and headed back to the marketplace where he had just walked out from. He carefully examined the stalls as he walked past them, making sure Chirrut wasn’t in there talking to one of the vendors. Chirrut always seemed to have something to talk about. Mainly about the Force, which Baze believed was all nonsense. 

The street seemed to get narrower, and Baze grunted as he tried his best to manoeuvre past the stalls and the people. He sighed again when he accidentally knocked a crate full of fruit over. Putting down his gun, he bent down to pick everything up again.

“Sir, it’s okay!” a voice suddenly called out, and Baze looked up to see you rushing towards him and picking up the crate. “I’ll take care of this.”

“No, I knocked it over.” Baze insisted. “I’ll clean it up for you.”

“You’re very kind.” you smiled, picking up the fruit with him. “Have you ever tried these before?” 

“I haven’t.” Baze responded, looking up at you. You had beautiful eyes. He wanted to look into them all day.

“Here,” you pulled one of the fruits out that hadn’t fallen on the floor. “They’re very sweet.” 

“Thank you.” Baze took it gratefully, and reached into his pocket to find his coins. 

“No need.” you shook your head, smiling. “It’s on me.” 

Baze put the last fruit into the crate and you repositioned the box on your hips. Smiling at him, you turned to go back to your stall.

“Well, I have to go back and wash these again.” you looked over your shoulder. “Tell me how you like the fruit!” 

“I didn’t get your name!” Baze suddenly called out, not wanting to watch you just disappear. You stopped and turned around, beaming.

“y/n.” you gave him a wide smile, and Baze found himself grinning widely back.

“I’m Baze.

Bodhi Rook [x]

You tried your best to take deep breaths and not panic. The ship was slowly landing onto Scarif, and you would be lying if you said you weren’t scared. You were terrified, but this mission was crucial for the Rebellion. Taking in a dramatic breath, you stood up from the corner of the ship you were hiding in and moved to where the rest of the crew were. 

You pushed a button and opened one of the doors to see a young man adjusting something around his waist. He looked up at you with wide eyes, and you froze. This was the famous pilot you had heard about, the one who had defected from the Empire. 

“Hello.” both of you said uncertainly at the same time, and chuckled. 

“Bodhi, right?” you asked, and he nodded. “Are you ready for the mission?”

“I hope so.” Bodhi sighed, buckling something around himself and straightening the goggles on top of his head. “You?”

“I-I guess.” you stammered, and Bodhi paused when he noticed the tremor in your voice.

“Are you scared?” he asked sympathetically, and you paused before nodding. He smiled sadly and stood closer to you. “What’s your name?”

“y/n.” you said in a small voice, and Bodhi reached out and put his hand on your shoulder.

“You have to be brave, y/n.” he insisted, squeezing your shoulder reassuringly. “You were already very brave to volunteer for this mission. The Rebellion is relying on us.” 

“I’m just scared about-” you could feel yourself getting increasingly worried, but Bodhi still held you.

“Hey, it’ll be okay.” he gave you a smile, and you gave him a small smile back. Unexpectedly, he suddenly threw his arms around you and pulled you into a hug. You paused, before finally wrapping your arms around him and burying your face into his shoulder. 

Cassian Andor [x]

Cassian checked the tablet he was holding, busily trying to confirm the details of a mission he was in charge of. He turned the corner, sighing as he scrolled through the document, before suddenly slamming into somebody. 

You fell backwards, the box of tools you were carrying falling all over the floor. Running your hands through your hair, you got onto your knees and started picking everything up.

“I’m so sorry, sir-” you began to apologize when you suddenly looked up and realized who you were talking to. It was captain Cassian Andor! The dude was practically famous around the base. 

“No need to apologize, I wasn’t looking where I was going.” Cassian shook his head, bending down to help you collect your tools. You could feel yourself blushing as you finally put the last tool into the box and Cassian offered his hand to help you up. Shyly, you got to your feet and looked at your shoes. You could tell Cassian was looking you up and down. 

“W-well, I need to head to the mechanic’s office.” you stammered.

“You know that the office is in the other direction, right?” Cassian asked, an amused smile on his face. You blushed even more, mentally reprimanding yourself.

“God, this place is so confusing.” you groaned. “I-I’m new here.” 

“I could tell.” Cassian smiled. “Also, I don’t think I’ve seen you around before. I would remember an attractive face like yours.” 

“Oh, wow.” your eyes widened. “Th-thank you, Captain.” 

“Please, just call me Cassian.” you could see he was starting to blush a little too, and the both of you awkwardly looked away. 

“Right.” you spoke, trying to fill the awkward silence, 

“Let me walk you to the mechanic...?” he paused, raising an eyebrow, prompting you to say your name.

“y/n.” you smiled, and the two of you started walking together. 

Chirrut Imwe [x]

“Oh my god...” you whispered to yourself as you watched the blind man take down a whole squad of stormtroopers. You were gripping your blaster but eventually realized you didn’t need to use it. You leaned against the pillar you were hiding behind and watched in awe as the man swiftly defeated all the soldiers. More stormtroopers rounded the corner, but another man suddenly appeared, shooting them all down. You clapped a hand over your mouth to try and stay quiet as the two men walked closer together and began talking to a man, a woman and a droid. 

“Stranger,” the blind man’s voice suddenly called out, and you froze, uncertain of who he was talking to. “You may come out of your hiding spot.”

“Who, me?” you asked, then cringed as all heads turned towards you. Sheepishly, you walked out with your hands over your head as you walked towards the group of people. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to-”

“No need to be sorry.” the blind man smiled, and you smiled too. He had a friendly face, and you felt comfortable around him. 

“How did you...” you gestured to the fallen stormtroopers, then blushed when you remembered he couldn’t see what you were gesturing to. “How did you manage to fight them all off?”

“Well,” the man grinned. “The Force did protect me.”

“I protected you.” the second man interrupted, rolling his eyes as the blind man didn’t respond. You chuckled, attaching your blaster back onto your belt.

“I’m y/n, by the way.”

“Chirrut.” the blind man responded, reaching his hand out. You walked over to take it, and he shook it warmly. 

Jyn Erso [x]

The marketplace was in havoc. Extremist rebels were fighting against the Imperial troops. The extremist rebels, although you knew were fighting for freedom, caused more trouble than the Empire itself sometimes. You drew your dagger and grabbed your small knapsack which lay on the floor, and tried to run to your house. You didn’t want to get involved in the fight, rather, you wanted to get somewhere safe. You house was on the edge of the Holy City, where very little action took place. You sprinted down an alleyway and came to a fork in the road. You moved to turn right, but saw a squad of stormtroopers headed for you. Frozen, you backed up, and tried to move up the stairs on the left instead before they noticed you, but a stormtrooper had already called you.

“Hey! Stop right there!” they quickly approached you, and one stormtrooper twisted your wrist and you released the dagger you were holding. “We’ll be taking you prisoner.” The stormtrooper pulled out a set of handcuffs, and you tried to jerk away. He had just placed it over your wrist when he was suddenly knocked down.

Shocked, you looked up to see a young, foreign woman standing in front of you with a blaster. She had short brown hair framing her face and wore dark clothes. You didn’t recognise her, but didn’t have time to anyway as she began taking down the rest of the stormtroopers who were surrounding you with a staff-like device she was carrying. You backed up into the wall to avoid getting hit, and soon the stormtroopers were all laying at your feet. You looked behind her and noticed a young man, also foreign, run up with a blaster which he lowered when he saw the fallen stormtroopers.

You were just about to speak when you heard more footsteps. Before you could react, the young woman spun around and shot the second squad of troopers who had come around the corner.

“We should get moving before more arrive.” she called out to you as she shot the last trooper. Reaching out and grabbing your hand, you made eye contact. “I’m Jyn Erso.”

“T-thank you so much, Jyn.” you stammered. “I’m y/n.” Jyn nodded in acknowledgement, and pulled you away with her. 

*an extract from my one shot “The Rebellion Could Use Someone Like You” [x]

K-2SO [x]

Stealthily, you pulled two grenades out of your bag and hid behind some debris. You watched as a stormtrooper approached an Imperial droid, who was accompanied by a man and a woman who you didn’t recognize. You lifted your blaster, aiming at the droid, when you suddenly realized he wasn’t quite like other Imperial droids.

“I am taking them... to imprison them... in prison.” the droid slowly managed to get out, and you sniggered and lowered your gun. Probably reprogrammed, you deduced, but the stormtrooper hadn’t realized that. Either way, the droid looked like he was about to blow his cover.

“Hey!” you yelled, and the squad of stormtroopers all whipped around to face you. You had already pulled the pins out of the grenades and you slammed them on the floor, and ducked down while covering your ears. There was an explosion, and you grabbed your blaster to finish off the remaining stormtroopers. Blowing the steam off your blaster, you strolled over to the droid and his companions as they stood there in shock.

“You’re welcome?” you offered, and the girl smirked. You pointed the blaster at the droid, and he quickly raised his hands above his head. 

“One hostile.” the droid exclaimed, and you ignored him.

“You were almost about to blow your little cover.” you accused, and the droid jerked his head back.

“Excuse me,” the droid retorted. “I had complete control of the situation.”

“Of course you did.” you rolled your eyes, and the man quickly stepped in between the two of you before the droid could respond.

“Thank you,” the man responded earnestly, and you gave him a brief nod. He nudged the droid, giving him a stern look. “Say thank you, K.”

“K?” you grinned. “Is that your name?”

“It’s K-2SO, thank you very much.” the droid snapped, and you scoffed.

“Blah, blah, blah.” you stuffed your blaster into your bag and folded your arms. “Well, my name is y/n, and I still haven’t heard a ‘thank you’ from you for saving your life.”

/ slams fist on the table/ TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PREDICTIONS FOR HOW REYLO IS GONNA GO DOWN

Aw, thank you for that question! *cracks knuckles* 

AND JEEZ I WROTE A FUCKING NOVEL ROFL

To be honest, I have trouble separating my general TLJ speculation from my Reylo speculation, but I think that’s mainly because I think Rey and Kylo are going to spend a lot of time together in the next film. 

Basically, I’m pretty sure Rey and Luke won’t get along very well. I even think Luke might downright refuse to train her. It doesn’t help that we got pretty solid evidence that Rey is not exactly good Jedi material. It’ll depend on what kind of Jedi Luke is, but again, Rey is anything but all calm and the “no attachments” kind of person. (Like, not gonna lie, I read the Ahsoka novel lately, and one thing that struck me was how rigid the “no attachments” rule was, and how Ahsoka suffered from it even if she didn’t admit it out loud. All I could think was: “Nope. Rey is not a Jedi, unless she undergoes some serious character change. And that wouldn’t be positive character change AT ALL.) 

I think Luke’s possible refusal to train Rey might also come from the fact she’s a lot more like Ben/Kylo than she (and the audience) believe. It’s not going to help that I’m pretty sure Rey is going to be an eager puppy around Luke, at least at the beginning. Remember that part where she bypasses the compressor and looks all happy about it, and Han doesn’t give her the credit she thinks she deserves and gets all crestfallen? I mean, she clearly already saw him as a father figure at that moment (even if she knew Han for, like, ten minutes), and she was pretty desperate for his approval. I’m ready to bet she’s going to go after Luke as a replacement father figure, which is not the healthiest thing to do, but at same time, considering Rey’s background, it’s not surprising (and it makes her situation pretty tragic, come to think of it). Luke pushing her away is REALLY going to hurt, methinks. 

Rey will probably learn something about Kylo’s backstory at some point, that will make him more sympathetic to her eyes. I don’t know how. It could be a vision or something, but we have to keep in mind that MSW rumors had it that just before Kylo shows up on Ahch-To, Luke wants Rey to kill Kylo and she doesn’t want to. Make of that what you will, but I think it would take something BIG for Rey to refuse to end Kylo’s life, because she ain’t a sweet little peach. I think it might have something to do with Kylo/Ben’s backstory with Luke. I mean, I’m pretty sure TLJ will be the answer to whatever question we might have had on the current Skywalker family drama. 

I think Kylo is going to come on Ahch-To probably at the end of the first act or in the middle of the film, max. Otherwise, if he comes at the climax like (fake) rumors seem to claim, Rey is going to spend the entire film stuck with Luke on a desert island, and she’s supposed to be the heroine. Booooring. (Plus, Adam Driver spent a lot of time filming in Ireland, so I don’t think Kylo is going to show up on Ahch-To just for one scene at the end.) 

As for Kylo’s mental state when he shows up… I don’t know. I’m pretty sure the trailers are going to show him off as a Big Bad, but there are two scenarios: either Snoke managed to convince him to have his revenge on Rey, and he’ll come on Ahch-To with his stupid-ass Vader cape flappin’ in the wind, and he’ll start dueling Rey and realize he just can’t bring himself to harm her, and then Rey drops the bomb about whatever she knows about his past. That just renders him helpless. But the other scenario is that maybe Snoke’s convincing just didn’t work this time, because he’s having way too many doubts, and while he keeps on obeying the Supreme Leader, he goes straight to attacking Rey when he arrives on Ahch-To just to pull off a tough show in front of the Knights of Ren (because no, I have a feeling they ain’t Kylo’s buddies). 

As for the rumors of Rey falling from a cliff into the water… I don’t know. It could happen (well it would just be a good excuse to see Dangerous Dreamboat without his shirt, and I wouldn’t be complaining, but hey.) 

And sure, have Luke take down the KoR in the meantime. I admit they’d kind of be in the way (I mean, they’re probably just there to look cool. *eyeroll*). 

From there… so we have Rey who knows thanks to backstory that things aren’t quite what they seem with Kylo, even if she still feels confused towards him at best, and Kylo is still all like “The Supreme Leader is wise” while on the inside he’s screaming “WHAT THE FUUUUUCK”, and then TEENAGE HORMONES KICK IN, AND FROM THAT MOMENT, AFTER DEALING WITH THE HELL THAT WAS HAN AND LEIA, LUKE SKYWALKER IS FUCKING DOOMED

Okay, no, for real. I’ll just point out one little thing: in TFA, Snoke and Hux seem to have no problem with the map getting destroyed or Ahch-To getting blown up. What’s important is that Luke must not reach Leia. Kylo… seems to have another purpose entirely. He *wants* the map, so I think there’s something on Ahch-To (which is home to the first Jedi Temple) which he wants. Not to mention that I’m pretty sure him falling to the DS and joining Snoke isn’t just for UNLIMITED POWAH. I also think that whatever treasure is on Ahch-To is hard to access. I mean, it doesn’t seem as if Luke managed to access it. So methinks it takes two to access the Jedi Temple. (starts humming “It Takes Two” from Into the Woods) 

All right, considering Raiders of the Lost Ark is a big inspo for Rey and Kylo’s plot, according to Rian Johnson… I think we’re going to have Kylo coaxing Rey into giving him the headpiece for the staff of Ra helping him access whatever’s in the temple. Luke… will not be pleased. But I think at that point, Rey will have had more than her share of Luke and will side with Kylo. 

I MEAN WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU PUT AN 30-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN IMPERIAL ARCHIVES NERD AND A CUTE SCAVENGER ON A DESERT ISLAND CONTAINING AN OLD JEDI TEMPLE, C’MON RIAN

Gimme some fun Jedi Temple exploring action. And Kylo attempting to impress Rey with his AMAZING knowledge. And Hanleia levels of bantering. 

I think it would be a good opportunity for the movie to become more introspective without slowing down the action too much. Rey has issues, and so does Kylo, and I think it’d be a good moment for them to realize that they’re not so different, and that families aren’t the sugar-coated vision Rey used to have of them. 

And then… let’s say the FO arrives on Ahch-To because Snoke realizes Kylo is planning to elope with Rey slipping out of his control. I JUST WANT A SCENE LIKE THIS M’KAY. 

Basically, just replace Indy with Kylo, Marion with Rey, and Belloq with Hux (?). 

Then… I could see the movie’s climax taking place on Ahch-To, and Finn’s Resistance plot coming to meet Rey’s there. Basically, the Resistance could get worried of not getting any news from Luke and could head to Ahch-To and start panicking when they see the FO presence there, or maybe get info thanks to intel that the FO is heading straight to Luke. Meanwhile, Rey and Kylo would try to escape, and get caught. 

Not gonna lie, I think Kylo is going to get the Skywalker Special (i.e. getting his hand chopped off). I also think Rey is going to tap in the Dark Side at the end of the movie, and I could see a scenario where she gets so scared and angry she unleashes a wave of pure DS power and kills every enemy around her (let’s say Hux too, because you know, it would permit Rey to tap in the DS and do a kill that could easily be forgiven in the eyes of the GA. Plus, that ginger space Nazi is deaaaad.) I could also see that happening when Finn is around? I think Rey and Finn will meet again in the third act of the film, but in not so good circumstances, and that would make that kind of situation work. Anywho, Rey will probably be devastated, and I think the movie is going to end with her and Kylo finally managing to escape and going rogue. 

I think there will be a time jump between VIII and IX (because there seems to be something happening whenever you’re 23 in SW, and Rey is going to be 19 by the time of TLJ). I think travelling together will help both Rey and Kylo to see things from another perspective, and just… take a break from all this? If that makes any sense? (Okay, I’m kind of going quick because this post is way too long already, lol)

I also think Reylo will become two-sided at the very end of TLJ. Before that would be too rushed imo, and for it taking place in IX… I admit I don’t really see Colin Trevorrow pulling it off. Plus, if they spend some time on their own, it might help them find a bit more stability with themselves and all that jazz (even if I think it’ll just be the beginning of Rey’s problems…) 

So yeah. Those are pretty much my predictions - or rather wishful thinking, lol. I’m pretty sure the ending is super not clear because I kind of rushed to finish this rant, but hopefully, it’ll give you a good idea. ;) 

Send me a SW-related question.
