#Stan the jedi whatever idc but at no point in time have they been politically neutral

[clementineskesh]

Any engagement with the jedi that fails to reckon with them as a law enforcement agency (yes before the clone wars) and only touches on their internal religious beliefs does a disservice to the worldbuilding and their purpose in the story.

Ok that's it I'm fixing star wars: fix it HCs underneath

It's basically just my Shinobi retirement farm post but in space but idc

Most of ep 2 happens but Anakin doesn't kill Dooku

Since Dooku gets a fair trial the Jedi order realizes he kinda has a point about Yoda needing to retire

Yoda becomes the Jedi version of crazy grandpa like he should

Anakin still has Dooku's lightsaber after taking it from him in the fight and he dual wields it and his normal blue saber, signifying the balance in the force he is to bring about

Dooku obviously rats out Palpatine in exchange for a nicer jail

Anakin never turns so wholly to the dark side and instead makes the selection process for becoming a Jedi more stringent and also starts a policy of being brutally truthful of what a young Jedi might expect from the order, causing applications to plummet

He does it so less children will go through the emotional struggles he had to bc he was not a great fit for the order as it had been

He's definitely working on reforms with Obi-wan also though

Anakin and Padme realize that they are very different people from very different backgrounds and even though they love each other they divorce

Luke and Leia were already born by then but the whole family is still very tight knit, Anakin loves his kids soooo much it's cute

Obi-wan also loves them

Anakin and Obi-wan go on crazy adventures and are sarcastic Jedi Bros together

R2d2 as a crazy uncle who should probably not have been allowed to babysit but it worked out we Stan

The whole Jedi order captures Palpatine and "somehow" "in the commotion" he dies (tbh it was probably r2d2)

The clones are recognized as people and some retire to be, idk star wars farmers, and they all have their chips removed and fight freely for whatever cause they choose

Fast forward until Luke is training to be a Jedi

Leia keeps kicking his ass in training she's crazy it's hilarious but Luke now struggles with his pride

He almost goes to the dark side and runs away and meets a crazy smuggler team and tags along with them for a while

Han and Chewie are glad to have such a useful and mechanically inclined passenger (and Chewie thinks he's good luck) so when Padme has put out a reward for his return they don't turn him in

Luke realizes that he doesn't have to be either dark or light or a Jedi or politician at all he can just be a dude (an option he hadn't previously considered bc he grew up surrounded by Jedi and political powerhouses)

Eventually Luke has Han and Chewie take him home to have a serious discussion with his family about his wanting to be a pilot and just a pilot. A race pilot actually

Han and Leia of course hate each other at first sight but eventually warm up to each other. Eventually

Anakin has flashbacks to every time he's nearly crashed as he flew something and Padme has flashbacks to every time he DID crash

Ghost Qui Gon who just hangs out sometimes to tease Obi-wan has to step in and convince everyone to chill out bc there's like three separate arguments going on not including whatever Chewie's talking about and he doesn't have enough space ghost popcorn

Luke and Han become rival best friend racers and have so many near miss crashes Padme goes grey (serves her right considering her and Anakin made Obi-wan go grey forever ago)

Some time after Ben is born they all go on family vacation/paying Han's debts and meet Rey and they kidnap adopt her (She's secretly Han's favorite Skywalker) (bc Ben is a Solo so it's not a conflict of interest)

Also idk how but bb8 and d-0 are there too

Finn and Poe are also there and are not five feet apart. They race Rey a lot after she takes over for Luke. Ben is her manager and Han refuses to retire and also will not be forgetting this betrayal Ben

Yes Ahsoka is their favorite aunt always

Grogu still gets picked up by Din

Din and co (ex bounty hunter nanny bot included) get hired for race security/bodyguards for the drivers when bounties are slim

Yeah there have been a few attempts at race fixing but it usually ends up alright

Tbh Anakin is still the best driver but after having freaked out about Luke driving his pride keeps him from doing it semi professionally as a side gig

Jedi business has been slow ok and he's a Lil old now so he keeps getting assigned the easy stuff and he hates it

Sometimes he races under a pseudonym just for a lil rush

Everyone knows it's him but they don't mention it

Speaking of mentioning, did I say that they all live in one large compound? Bc they do and it's funny af

Which one of you brats ate Han's old man cereal this time?! (It was Luke)

Chewie did not expect to have so many human pets but they're pretty cute and funny so he's happy

Ngl Chewie is probably the only one who really knows what self care is and actually urges anyone else to do so

Like yeah Padme knows how to take care of herself but anyone with Skywalker or Solo lineage has no chill and no self preservation instincts. Han says he does but he is wrong

One winter they went on like a ski trip to hoth and got stuck for months. To pass the time Chewie taught everyone how to knit and also chess. Somewhere they have a knitted/crocheted chess set as a result. They all almost went even more crazy

Rey is no longer allowed to cook after she gave everyone including the robots somehow food poisoning with a birthday cake she tried to make

Ben can cook but only sad bachelor meals and very plain stuff

Luke has a short attention span so mostly if he says he "cooked" he actually microwaved it

Han can cook really well but only like three Fancy things he learned to seduce people

They rely on Obi-wan to cook but he can only make variations of oatmeal or soup

Can any of them cook?!? No. They have to hire a chef with Padme and Leia's girlboss earnings

The chef is jar jar binks
