#Star Wars Books

[stardustnsunshine]

To this list I would add the books:

Revenge of the Sith Novelization by Matthew Stover

Brotherhood by Mike Chen

and The Clone Wars: Gambit- Stealth and its sequel The Clone Wars: Gambit- Siege by Karen Miller.

These books contain some of the most beautiful descriptions of Obi-Wan and Anakin's relationship.

Your art is everything!!!! Thank you for sharing it!!!!

I'm not in Star Wars fandom but your art has pushed me over the precipice.

I guess I'm gonna watch the prequels and actually join the fandom now!

What are your watch/read suggestions/reccomendations for Star Wars Canon and Canon Adjacent material with Obikin in mind?

OMG Anon, 😭😭 First off, I never expected my art would even reach someone outside the fandom, let alone causes anyone to wanna watch Star Wars. So this a huge discovery for me, thank you!! 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️❤️

I'm not an expert, so this is from my experiences:

Btw Anon, I hope you don't expect Anakin and Obi-Wan to start exploring each other's bodies in any of these stories lol (I mean there's that one scene in Kenobi show, but that falls under torture) When I draw them, about 20% are canon compliant, 20% me being delusional, and 60% is just me being stupid gay for Obi-Wan. Regardless I hope you enjoy your Star Wars Obikin journey 🎉✨

"Jedi must ignore their feelings." "That's quite a statement. Is it your own?" "Yes." Then the boy considered. "Well... Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan said much the same." "I think you misunderstood," Mace said. "Jedi do not ignore their feelings. They integrate them. Own them. They fear, but they are not afraid of fear. They grow angry, but they allow their anger to motivate only honorable action. Do you understand?" The boy nodded, but Mace knew he did not --yet. There was time. -Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss by Steven Barnes, pg 24

HELLO HI YES I AM CURRENTLY GOING INSANE OVER THE NYCC SW BOOKS PANEL BECAUSE LOOK AT PRETTY JEDI ARMOR

THE IMPLICATIONS THAT THE JEDI TEMPLE GUARD ARMOR ARE SOME OF THE LAST LIVING STYLISTIC REMNANTS OF THE HIGH REPUBLIC. THE (fully my assumptions ahead) POSSIBILITY THAT THE ARMOR IS PASSED DOWN FROM THE ERA OF FIGHTING AGAINST THE SITH. I WILL BE CHEWING ON THE WALLS UNTIL WE GET CONTEXT AND BACKSTORY FOR THIS.

I have been begging, pleading, on my hands and knees for a bad batch novel and not only are we getting it, but we are getting it on my birthday??? Oh I have truly one

[tyquu]

your art is so cute!! I want to hug all the characters. also I am totally vibing with your amputee Ezra and genderified Kanan headcannons

i see you have recently finished a new dawn as well—welcome to Kanera brain rot ville :)

Ahhhh thank you! I’m super glad the art has been a vibe! And whilst I don’t have any new Kanera to offer just yet, I do have some general “A New Dawn” doodles from the past week to offer instead ✌️

I love Star Wars novels so much because they're either the most jaw-dropping awe-inspiring life-changing worldbuilding and canon add-ons that you've ever seen or the dumbest more needless shit ever. And there's no way of knowing what will be which and sometimes they're in the same book! What could be better!

Finished Rogue Planet and my favorite part is in the first chapter where we get a glimpse of Anakin’s early life in the Temple.

He’s building droids no one wants, sneaking out to race, and making Obi-Wan run around Coruscant after him. Meanwhile, Masters are looking on fondly, saying things like, “He will bring you wisdom!”

[flettwin]

Love this moment so much, an old master landing on a new planet and reaching out with the Force, their fallen apprentice sensing them and freaking out. It’s so classic Star Wars!

Hoping we get more titbits about their relationship in Vernestra’s Wayseeker novel. 🤞🏼

Lightsaber Theory: Obi-Wan "Sith Lords are Our Specialty" Kenobi consistently loses duels to Dooku not for any reason of technical form mismatch or lack of ability, but because Dooku is not even pretending to try to kill him. Resultantly, Obi-Wan can’t figure out what the fuck is going on when they fight. 

Obi-Wan: (preparing to defend an expected lethal strike) You’ll answer for your enormities, Count!

Dooku: (giving him the lightest love tap on the leg) Don’t be so sure, my special good lineage baby boy, so perfect in my eyes. 

Obi-Wan: …What?

Dooku: What?

Which Dooku and Obi-Wan proud lineage moment is even the most unhinged? There are so many to choose from! Is it Dooku’s frequent inability, both in AotC and TCW, to keep from spontaneously gushing about Sidious’s plans and even his own dark secrets to Obi-Wan?? Is it the time in Labyrinth of Evil where Dooku drags a long-suffering, bored Grievous over to watch a holorecording of Anakin and Obi-Wan thwarting his plans yet again, to point out how beautifully they’re working together as a team and how much he likes watching their lightsaber work evolve? Is it in the recent Brotherhood novel, where Obi-Wan just has to casually namedrop Qui-Gon to get Dooku to do exactly what he wants?

Obi-Wan is a big problem for Sidious in his mission to destabilize and corrupt Anakin, and Sidious knows it. He needs him out of the picture to do the same isolating, evil bullshit that worked so well when ensnaring Dooku himself. But the war has been going on for years now, and guess who remains inconveniently alive? And whose job was that to take care of? Oh yeah. I remember. His useless, Padawan assassin-collecting apprentice: fucking Count Dooku. By the time of RotS, Sidious has specifically ordered Dooku to make fucking sure Obi-Wan is dead only for him to completely ignore the command about a half-dozen times.

Going by the Stover RotS novelization, in the same scene where Dooku also literally refers to Obi-Wan as his fucking grandson actually, add that to our earlier list, Sidious reiterates that KILL OBI-WAN is the plan (over the sound of Dooku’s loud complaining) moments before that final duel.  I kind of wish we’d gotten a shot of Sidious's incredulous, enraged expression as Dooku knocks Obi-Wan unconscious and pins him safely out of the way. He is, once again, going out of his way to not kill Obi-Wan in that duel, and this time directly disobeying his Master to his face after they just had a conversation about it. You just know exactly what Sidious must be thinking at that moment. Oh, Dooku. You are so fucking fired.

there is some really great rogue one/andor stuff in chris kempshall's the rise and fall of the galactic empire

It was so unlike Obi-Wan to be incoherent. It was his articulate self-possession in the face of danger that so impressed her. Even though [Padme] hadn’t entirely forgiven him for his interference in her life, she felt a surge of pity.

For all our differences, she thought, We have this one thing in common. We both love Anakin and we always will.
