The fact that both Obi-Wan and Ahsoka think that the other died during order 66 and spend years mourning the other when they both survived is so heartbreaking

[a-wisebear]

yes, i love the disaster lineage, a dyslexic cryptic frog, the most knighty-sith, very high and very high man still claiming children, the embodiment of the light side as infinite sadness, problem child actually is the chosen one, golden child at war, and we close it with unsupervised child with paint it's too good at it

[ceruleanvermillion]

Jedi culture is so fascinating... I'd love a post-war everything is okay AU where we get a taste of Jedi culture. Not the clone wars-era jedi culture that we know of...but actual jedi culture. Like the one obi-wan grew up with, something ahsoka and even anakin never got to experience because of the war. Like the ones we see in the books about obi-wans padawan years, of course, combining canon and legends in a way that makes sense- maybe we can have the younger ones of the disaster lineage learn a bit about Tahl, more Tahl is always a good idea. Maybe we can delve into Mace and Qui-gon's years of padawanship and being initiates- or maybe even old jedi culture, the one Yoda is familiar with.

Imagine surviving the war only to lose most of the people closest to you.

The Woman that once upon a time held your heart in her hands.

The Girl that you loved like a daughter and whose death would ultimately lead to you losing your only brother.

In this universe, the river of time flows differently. Each step, each choice, and each poignant moment in its stream drift slightly off course.

It starts like this:

When Ahsoka and Bo-Katan ask the Jedi Order for aid in freeing Mandalore from Darth Maul's grasp and finally putting an end to the former Sith's reign, Obi-Wan does not ignore their call for help. Satine's ghost still haunts his nightmares, and it's the look on her sister's face, along with the redheads snarling accusations and Ahsoka's distant demeanor, that cause his typically composed exterior to splinter.

Through the cracks in his shields, a presence slips in – wild and tumultuous, yet practically radiant in its brilliance.

Days, months, weeks and even years later Obi-Wan will wish he'd taken a little longer to cradle her presence close.

It ends like this:

Anakin with Windu on the Invisible Hand. A incapacitated Sith in custody and another, more vile, more cunning, more sinister, choosing the wrong moment to reveal himself. A twist of fate. A long lost friend showing signs of old loyalty. Lightning. Screams. Hurt and Betrayal. The Chosen One as he was meant to be without terrors of the night influencing his most damning decision. Red clashing with purple, with blue. Red, blue, purple, blue, red, purple— A head rolls. The cackling stops.

For a moment, Peace.

A bond, frail at the edges but oh so resilient, crafted amidst blaster fire and silly nicknames and bets made on the battlefield, breaks—

Anakin screams.

•

On Mandalore the last chess piece falls with a Padawans last sacrifice.

First, Maul taunts. Maul laughs. Maul feeds on rage, on grief and hurt and terror, terror, terror. He's stronger here. Less controlled too, but while his greed costs him his head, his strength costs Obi-Wan the centerpiece of his lineage.

Obi-Wan holds his daughter as she bleeds out in his arms. His shoulders shake but he does not cry. His eyes burn but he does not weep. His lips twitch but he does not sob. He holds Ahsoka much the same way he held Satine only months before.

“No, not you too.”

Something flickers inside his mind, once, twice. It grows ever dimmer and Ahsoka's grip on his shoulder, ever weaker. A feeble voice inside his mind, It's okay. It doesn't hurt. I'll be okay, Master.

But this time no reassurance, no hand to his cheek, no last confession, nothing, will temper the anger slowly rising in tandem with his grief. He needs a medic. He needs a medic, now. Where's —

Cody!

Obi-Wan doesn't like the expression on the face of his slowly approaching Commander. The furrow of his brow, the emotion in his eyes. He doesn't like that Cody has taken off his helmet and reaches out to hold Obi-Wan by his shoulder as if he knows Obi-Wan needs the physical support, as if Ahsoka is going to —

“Master—”

Obi-Wan turns his eyes back on his Grandpadawan. Hers are barely open, her lips smeared with blood. Obi-Wans eyes catch on the red trailing down her chin and the length of her throat.

Ahsoka catches his eyes and smiles. She tugs on their bond the way she had always done before a battle, up until her last assignment on Caito Neimodia.

She tugs once, twice, three times. His heart squeezes painfully in his chest. He tugs back three times.

He does cry then. For the life she will never have. For the peace she will never experience. For the war she fought and whose final victory she will never reap. For the girl he learned to love as his own.

And even in her last moment, even in pain, even after Hurt and Miscommunication, and Betrayal born out of insecurity and misjudgment, she still worries for others first. For him.

You're safe. You're all sa—

He shushes her. Tired amusement tingles across their bond.

Then,

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale.

You are forgiven, Obi-Wan.

Exhale. The light winks out and as their bond shatters his last remaining one pulls tight with white hot agony.

Cody is all that keeps Obi-Wan upright right then and there.

•

The war is over. They won. So many dead. His lineage torn asunder.

Ahsoka is dead. Anakin won't speak to him. Qui-Gon is dead. Dooku is imprisoned.

Here the river of time finds a stream parallel to the one we know.

Obi-Wan and Yoda at the end of things.

[darlin-djarin]

anakin will probably never tell ahsoka that he loved her. head in hands. 13 dead, 1247 injured.

[jewishcissiekj]

no but actually I love messing with the disaster lineage. like. yeah, what if Dooku was Obi-Wan's master? What if Qui-Gon was Anakin's master? what if Obi-Wan did end up being Ahsoka's master? let's add on to it. Dooku as Asajj's Master. Asajj as Ahsoka's master. Rael as Obi-Wan's master. Anakin as Rael's padawan. Ky Narec as Dooku's padawan. Sabine as Anakin's padawan. Luke as Qui-Gon's padawan. Yoda as Obi-Wan's master. Ahsoka as Yoda's padawan. feel free to keep adding on to it the possibilities are almost endless

does anyone know if the star wars rebel comics (specifically the magazine issues) are available to read anywhere online for free? Considering the comics seem to be pretty rare/people straight up don't know they exist I think I gotta explain what I'm actually talking about.

Officially titled "Star Wars Rebels Magazine" or the complete edition "Star wars Rebels (TBP)" is a magazine series published predominantly in Europe and later in the US. Whilst the magazine was aimed at kids, with art sections and coloring sections and whatever, the vast majority of the magazine issues also contained comics, usually at 10 pages long.

AND THE COMIC PORTIONS ARE ACTUALLY...GOOD (for the most part). see, the comics have actually been released separately (so without the magazine portion), you can either buy individual volumes (pictured below) or you can buy the complete edition (also pictured below).

(all images taken from Wookieepedia)

I think people who are SW Rebel fans would really enjoy the comics. since some comics give extra context to existing episodes, include new characters, and honestly just have interesting premises. I do actually own a physical copy of the comics but cannot find a place online to actually read the comics for free. no pirating websites I've checked have the comic so i was literally wondering if it even exists online to read. If it doesn't I was hoping this post could also encourage someone else who also owns a copy to provide scans (i would do it myself but i have no resources such as a local library or a scanner to actually scan the comics). I really enjoyed these comics and wanted more people to know about them !

i also hoped this post would maybe inform people who really like Rebels that these comics do exist and maybe convince them to read it !!!

also some other notes i just couldn't figure out where to put:

the entire collection is 500 pages long and contains 39 issues in total

the comic series has multiple artists, meaning the art style changes from issue to issue. however most of the artists are pretty recurring so there's only about 5 (estimate) artists but its interesting to see the art style changes if you're into that

there are also different writers, which also change from issue to issue but are also pretty recurring as well (there's like 4)

here are a collection of some random pictures to convince u to read it

(photos taken by me)

[kingtuna]

I was rewatching Tales of the Jedi and just

Practice Makes Perfect

(that ending hurts)

but also Rex was so concerned for Ahsoka

"Don't worry Rex she'll wake up"

"I don't know how much she can take" like yeah

he obviously had Thoughts about Anakin making them shoot at their teenage little sister

[antianakin]

Honestly, it's just a little weird that SHIN ended up the least anti-Jedi character on the entire Ahsoka show. Ahsoka and Baylan both explicitly condemn the Jedi as weak or failures and both Ahsoka and Sabine keep disrespecting Huyang and his Jedi protocols, whereas it's Shin who actually asks if Baylan MISSES the Jedi themselves, if he misses the Order. She has no real connection to it herself, so she can't miss something she never even knew, but she takes the time to ask Baylan if HE misses it. It's the closest we get to someone MOURNING the Jedi and recognizing that their loss is, in fact, something that should be sad. Shin asking if her master misses his own genocided culture is legitimately the closest we get to acknowledging Order 66 at all and the closest we get to a genuinely pro Jedi moment.

And it came from the stupid little Darth Maul knock-off with a personality like wallpaper.

[voidartisan]

finished rewatching the corruption arc and i can't believe i forgot so many amazing details. i can just imagine satine texting obi-wan and being like "when this is brought up to the council i need you to make sure i get a jedi who will Cause Problems On Purpose (non-violently)" and obi-wan immediately thinks of his chaos gremlin daughter-figure and texts back "say no more"

[ash-short-for-trash]

I’m so tired of people portraying Anakin Skywalker as a redeemable villain, I understand the want to, to see him as a character who can fix his mistakes and move on but by the end of Attack of the Clones he’s completely irredeemable. He’s not a kylo ren character who can be fixed with the right love, he’s a tragic character and that’s what makes him a great character and a great villain.

He starts out with good intentions but by the end he’s completely irredeemable, he doesn’t deserve Luke’s forgiveness at the end of Return of the Jedi

my favorite star wars movie poster is this phantom menace one

and I like it so much because it really conveys what is so tragic about Anakin. when we first meet anakin in episode 1 we already know what he is too become he already know that this little boy who dreams of becoming a jedi to free the slaves will one day be a killer for an empire that allows and uses slave labor

Anakin does have genuinely good intentions at the start but that doesn’t matter because he will become a killing machine and as much as palpatine manipulates him, he choose to kill the younglings and be killed the sand people all on his own, no one told him to do that

Anakin is tragic because you want to root for him, you’re supposed to like his charm and sass in the clone wars show and that’s what makes it so much more heartbreaking when he does such horrible things. we get to understand to a degree what Ashoka and Obi-Wan and Padme felt seeing someone hey care about do things they know shouldn’t be forgiven

[helsingvania]

One of my favorite things about Star wars as of late is how the scene we got of Luke and ahsoka interacting is so awkward and stiff that you can feel as if she wasn't welcomed and wasn't there out of genuine care. THEN turn to Luke and Sabé having an appropriate relationship with adoration for Luke AND Leia as an individual. Going in and fearing the worst only come out seeing something you would never thought you would have seen ever again in your life. That sabé still knows her boundaries and doesn't push further than what she needs to and as far as we know after the flagship comic series ended didn't approach either of them again

Imagine getting along better with the woman who was in love with your mother than your Father's little sister.

[thecleverqueer]

Thinking about Anakin wanting to leave the Jedi to be with Padme.

Thinking about how he told Ahsoka that he understood why she wanted to walk away from the order.

Thinking about Ahsoka walking away not so much because she wanted to, but because she felt as though she had to…because she didn’t see herself as a Jedi…because she was not a peace keeper, but a soldier.

They aren’t the same.

[fellthemarvelous]

I remember seeing dudebros complain about there not being enough men in the Ahsoka series but David Tennant was in every single episode so I don't know what the big deal is!

[spicynectarines]

If the Ahsoka series doesn’t meet my very high expectations I will simply pretend it doesn’t exist. peace and love
