#THE FORCE

[marinamar4]

I don't know if I've mentioned this already, but... A fic where Obi-Wan raises Luke and Leia... In Mortis

Yes, that Mortis. The planet of the Force. And Luke and Leia grow up in an environment so powerful in the Force that they can do things no one else can. Literally like those other fics where the Skywalkers are eldritch

And when they finally emerge from Mortis, the Rebellion doesn't know whether to worship them or fear them.

And the Empire knows that its days are more than numbered.

Because what can they do against the young man who literally erased the death star like he had an eraser?

(whoever has read the WITCH comic where Elyon erases the Meridian prison will understand)

What can they do against the little girl who came out of a spaceship into empty space where Alderaan should be (or any other planet that they destroyed in that story) and without a spacesuit or anything started running and dancing and where she "stepped" on the world was beginning to reform?

And all that time, the only one they obey is Obi-Wan, who raised them. And every time someone asks Obi-Wan to "control" the twins because of the chaos they're causing, he just gets a look saying "Who, me?"

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda

I feel safe. Yes, it feels like that.

Jedi Teacher: Padawan Windu, that was amazing! How were you able to take out that rampaging rancor so easily?

Mace Windu, who has Force Shatterpoint which allows him to see where and when to strike: I just hit the glowing weak spot. It's not that hard.

Jedi Teacher:

PREQUELS APPRECIATION WEEK 2024 DAY 7: THE FORCE ▸ FORCE ABILITIES

The Force is a mysterious energy field created by life that binds the galaxy together. Harnessing the power of the Force gives the Jedi, the Sith, and others sensitive to this spiritual energy extraordinary abilities, such as levitating objects, tricking minds, and seeing things before they happen.

Star Wars is about coming back to the light, healing, forgiving others and yourself, being selfless and protecting the innocent and vulnerable. Star Wars is about hope that things and people will someday get better. Star Wars is about redemption and kindness. Star Wars always has been about love and I pray it always will be.

Okay I'm gonna break this down real simple like.

The Light Side of The Force is The Force in balance.

The Dark Side is a corruption of The Force. An infection.

The Jedi serve The Force. They are subservient to it.

The Sith subvert The Force. They bend it to their will in an unnatural way.

The Light Side is peace. It is acknowledging your negative emotions without being consumed by them, and living in harmony with The Force.

The Dark Side is suffering. It is succumbing to your negative emotions and being consumed by them.

The Jedi defend life.

The Sith exert their will on those weaker than themselves.

Light = Jedi = Good

Dark = Sith = Evil

Hope this helps.

Also the grey Jedi aren't a thing and the concept is stupid.

Owen and Beru never managed to have kids of their own despite always wanting them and having married right around the start of the Clone Wars because both of them got their Sex Ed from Shmi 'Immaculate Conception' Skywalker-Lars

considering that it worked out more or less as they'd wanted via Force-wizard baby-delivery before too long anyway, they never actually questioned this

[smhalltheurlsaretaken]

Obi-Wan's shit eating smirk is EVERYTHING.

[furious-blueberry0]

Repeat after me:

The dark side does not bring justice, it does not bring fulfillment, it does not bring happiness, it does not bring love.

It takes, it takes, it takes and it takes.

And all that gives back is pain and anger, suffering and despair.

Nothing good comes from dwelling with the dark side, and when you start using it, you'll fall into the illusion that the power you're receiving will make you achieve everything you ever wanted, but just like a drug, it's feeding you sweet lies to keep you distracted by the way it's destroying both your body and your mind.

There is no peace within the dark side, it is a bottomless abyss, where all you can do is fall, and fall, and fall, more and more to your pathetic end.

I think a lot of people missed the point that it’s really not that hard to kill Jedi. If you’ve got a private army, you can probably kill Jedi. If you’re a sith you can probably kill Jedi. If you’re a really well resourced bounty hunter you can probably kill a Jedi. Qui-gon and Obi-Wan parallel one another in getting killed, specifically to show the audience that Jedi can be killed, but death is not something a Jedi should fear. There is no death, there is the Force.

The magic of a Jedi does not come from invincibility—it comes from the lack of any true separation between ordinary happenings and miracles, which they understand, and we do not.

He too, was a star, and the light that shone from him was the Force

I read Shadows of Mindor and I really liked Luke's musings on the Force in the book so I had to draw something. Other doodle under the cut:

So I recently saw a post with a screencap of this scene in it:

And good heavens. Is this not a perfect visual metaphor of Obi-Wan's role in the entire Star Wars universe? Supporting the wounded Light, unable to stop her from dying, but still steadfastly good and patient up to and through the darkest hour, waiting (though he doesn't know it, yet) for that Light to be reborn in a padawan?

On the Dark Side, the Jedi, and the moral decay of Star Wars

Just a reminder folks: The Dark Side of the Force is unequivocally evil. Just because someone who's wielding it looks hot, doesn't make it 'misunderstood.' It poisons your mind, rots your soul, and makes you become the worst version of yourself. The Jedi make it their life's mission to protect the galaxy from Dark Siders, and they are right to do so. Because when Dark Siders get in power.... you get an Empire, a fascist and genocidal police state. That is their ideological endgame; it always was, always will be. Power, for power's sake. They may wrap it up in promises of 'freedom' and 'self worth,' but it's a lie they tell themselves, and others. They are nihilistic 'don't tread on me' terrorists, with super-powers. Compared to them, the Jedi truly are the 'moral authority' of the Star Wars universe, and they are not at all the same. There is no 'many fine people on both sides' with the Jedi and Sith. The only 'good' Dark Sider, is one who rejects the darkness, at which point they cease to be a Dark Sider. The Star Wars I love, that I believe has meaning and value for our species and our civilizations, is about that fundamental choice between giving into our darkness, and rising above it. Everyone has it in them, but we all must learn how to live with it, and keep it in check. I hope one day, modern Star Wars media will remember this vital lesson, and be more responsible with its depiction of the Jedi and Sith orders. Not continue down this path of forcing 'moral ambiguity' onto George's vision, that breaks the moral foundation of the universe he built, and makes it an ultimately depressing tale where the heroes are not worth believing in, and the villains are given excuses for their wickedness.
