the three genders: legends, canon and lego

Thinking about the two times in canon SW novels how Anakin and Padmé picked out flowers for each other.

Once in EKJ’s Padmé trilogy (Queen’s Hope) where Anakin picks up a petal and adorns it on Padmé’s hair, then asks her if her dad would be able to teach him how to plant so he can make Padmé a beautiful garden full of colorful flowers one day. And once again in Mike Chen’s Brotherhood novel where Anidala sneak out for a date on the lower levels of Coruscant and they’re strolling through a market then Padmé picks up two purple flowers from a flower stall and puts one in her hair, then the other peaking out from Anakin’s breast pocket.

Flower picking, gardening, and picnics are 100% an Anidala thing. Need I say more?

One thing I love about Star Wars is that most of the Canon relationships consist of a man falling in love with a woman who told him he was stupid and / or tried to kill him once and has a degree in bad bitchology.

Y’all don’t understand how important this discovery is cause Thrawn knew Anakin Skywalker before he became Darth Vader.

He was left with the impression of how greatly the Jedi’s abilities were, using that to his knowledge to also mention Anakin Skywalker in front of The Emperor upon his capture and pledge allegiance to the Empire.

Panels from the Comics when Thrawn mentions Anakin Skywalker:

Also, Thrawn was the only one to uncover the true identity of Darth Vader, mocking him over the fact his people had a nickname of “Skywalker” for force sensitive navigators who were young girls of his kind. This encounter’s mention during their mission was random.

Also, Darth Vader was known to kill anyone who dared referenced or mentioned his past self to him, so lemme just say make it sink in that Thrawn dodged yet another bullet to the head that one time.

i love how the high republic shows that the jedi visualize the force differently in their mind’s eye. avar kriss sees it as music and a melody, where each living being is a separate note, elzar sees it as an all–powerful ocean, stellan gios envisions the skies with bright stars in constellations and nebulae.

even the padawans and apprentices have their own vision, ram jomaram sees a machine and it’s components, others see threads woven together or the warmth of light.

it’s such a small detail but adds so much to the story and to the character’s personalities as well.

A chronological history of all Sith (and sith-adjacents, such as the Inquisitorius and Knights of Ren) in the current Star Wars canon, compiled after tedious research by yours truly.

Accurate as of November 2024.

Young Padawan Commanders: real or Filoni-fever-dream?

Ok genuinely really important question I just thought of that I’ve never seen anyone address.

So nothing I can remember in the prequel trilogy indicates that young Padawans were directly involved in the war. The closest thing I can imagine to evidence of that is that there were some padawans younger than Anakin (like Barriss Offee) at Geonosis, but no one was actually expecting resistance at Geonosis, let alone the slaughter by the droid army. There definitely weren’t any Caleb Dune/Cal Kestis aged kids there.

Question being, was young padawans being made commanders canon to anything before Dave Filoni invented Ahsoka?

Frankly we see a young Padawan once in ROTS and he’s at the temple only fighting because of the clones attacking his home, not out on a battle field (surely we would see some kids die in Order 66 putside the temple if they were with their masters on battlefields?). The prequel trilogy literally treats killing children as the worst possible thing you can do, and having very young commanders just getting casually killed off throughout the war would be such a deeply weird contradiction of the image of Anakin standing over the younglings. “They did nothing to stop kids being soldiers” is one of the arguments that always gets brought up about the Jedi being evil or totally corrupt people unable to recognize that war=1800-bad-for-kids and I just gotta say if that whole genre of evidence was invented by Mr. Anti-Jedi-Vaguery himself… Clone wars is a kids show, even more than the trilogies, so I do understand the need for young protagonists, but to take that storytelling necessity and twist it into evidence against the premises of the prequels is…it’s something alright.

Whoever knows the deep lore please inform me—it can go either way—if there really were young Padawan commanders in the original vision that’s a really strong argument about the systematic power and fear-based, cruel actions by the Senate, I just would love to know

Edit: question answered in several different ways! I will get around to summarizing them at some point.

[dragon-of-the-soutn]

I think it’s really fucking funny that Kylux has absolutely destroyed Finnpoe in terms of how many ao3 pages it has. Like Finnpoe, that ship we were all in the trenches with the actors fighting for to be cannon back in the day has been steamrollered by Darth Tantrum and his evil space ginger.

Hilarious. I too love evil gay people with fucked up dynamics and a tendency to kill other people and then each other. Excellent work everyone.

[sunsetgloom]

i did it. i made another timeline.

this time it's about the disaster lineage! though, surprisingly, making this was less of a disaster than i had expected. i was consistently able to find dates and ages for pretty much everyone. comes with the territory of being related to the main characters i guess lol

not going to make an entire essay this time - this is all basically canon anyway (apart from the Feemor thing but HOW ELSE IS HE SUPPOSED TO WORK) - apart from rael and qui-gon's ages. all i did was take qui-gon's d.o.b. and give it to rael and then give qui-gon a new d.o.b. based on the fact he was taken on as dooku's apprentice at 12. simple. literally everything else had a year or age to go by, i had so few problems it was beautiful.

i think i have written down every main event related to these folks but if i've somehow missed something please do tell me and i will fix it!

.

(i am still taking timeline requests if you would like to see others)

In a mood, so have a handful of my favorite "about Sifo-Dyas re: badass" quotes from current canon:

“I’m warming to this Sifo-Dyas. Not only does he seem to be the only one willing to stand up to Dooku, but he has a rebellious streak so large you could fly a Dreadnought along it.” -Asajj Ventress, Dooku Jedi Lost -

“Master Sifo-Dyas was a powerful Jedi,” Yaddle said. “Powerful, yes. Great at many things - including prognostication.”  -Yaddle, The Living Force -

I always sit next to Sifo-Dyas. I think you’d like him. He’s my best friend, although Master Braylon insists we shouldn’t form attachments. Most of the time I don’t have any problem with that, but Si’s different.  -Dooku, Dooku Jedi Lost

-

“I’m afraid we’ll never replace what Master Sifo-Dyas could do when it comes to sensing the future.” -Mace Windu, The Living Force

-

Only one boy saw through my bluster, an Initiate as likely to cause trouble as I was expected to excel. Perhaps I needed someone to burst my bubble. Perhaps I just needed a companion. But whatever the reason, we became inseparable. -Dooku, Dooku: Jedi Lost

-

“He was always in a big damn hurry.”  -Even Piell, The Living Force

-

"Sifo-Dyas is an explorer, while I am doomed to endure ridicule from my students." -Dooku, Dooku: Jedi Lost

-

“And the truth is, we won’t make it out of this alive.” He looked exhausted and frightened, but determined. “If that’s the case, so be it. But there are things that mustn't be lost. This is what it's come to - and I want... I want everyone to understand that I've done my best.”  -Sifo-Dyas, Force Collector

So here’s something…

I was browsing the stormtroopers on wookieepedia and discovered the interesting concept of the Minetrooper, troopers trained to operate in the Kessel's spice mines, it didn’t have any images, so I wanted to try drawing something based on the description.

[geonij31]

I’m still incredible proud of myself for this
