#also plo beat yoda in a duel once

[gaeasun]

Rewatched the Phantom Menace yesterday, and I can’t help but think that half of the problems would have been solved if Plo Koon had said anything during the Council meeting. I have no idea what it would be. But it would have solved so many problems because Plo Koon is just like that.

I’m not blaming Plo Koon for this to be clear, I’m blaming the writers who kept him quiet. He would have been too powerful and problem solving and so they had to silence him.

Hello again! Glad to see someone remember Cin Drallig exists! The poor Battlemaster could use some more content in the fandom :D Anyway what made you interesting in using him for your incorrect quotes and stuff and do you have any headcanons for him? Also will his Padawan Serra Keto from the old Revenge of the Sith video game be making any appearances in your work with Cin?

I LOVE CIN? HE’S JUST??? A CHARM??? ONE GRUFF, ANGY BOY FOR ME?? Cin easily makes my top 10 list of Jedi. Serra actually has shown up briefly in my Wolffepack Against Child Abuse Modern Star Wars AU in the second installment alongside Bene! 

ANYWAYS YOU ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE HEADCANONS:

• Cin never got along with Qui-Gon Jinn, despite having an OK relationship with Dooku. The two of them clashed over a lot of things, and Cin specifically warned Yoda about Qui-Gon when he was pushing for Obi-wan to be his padawan. The two’s fights escalated to blows during and after Melida/Daan.

• Cin practically raised Kit, and as such, Kit looks up to him like an older brother-slash-father. Kit often comes to him still if he needs advice. Cin called him a clown when he came searching for courting advice.

• He also helped out with Bant and Nahdar when he could, and was the one who finished up Nahdar’s padawanship when Kit was called to the front lines.

• Despite the stories the Padawans tell the Initiates , though, Cin’s only strict and gruff when the kids have sabers in hand. Afterwards, he’s always willing to listen to their problems. Though he’s a bit shit at giving them good advice. It’s the thought that counts.

• Cin isn’t a master at all Saber Forms  in the same sense as those who master one form— such as Mace with Vaapad or Kit with Shii-Cho— but he is insanely dangerous since he can easily slip in and out of saber forms mid combat. Repeatedly.

• Not to say that he’s not a master in every form, because he is. but those who specialize in one form only take it a step up.

• Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, Agen Kolar, and Shaak Ti are his usual duel-mates, the five of them absolutely going feral when they’re out of sight of younglings and padawans because it gets dangerous. Cin throws lightsabers. It always freaks Kit out, though he should be used to it.

• Speaking of which, Cin’s a fantastic marksman and has a crazy throwing arm. Someone once asked him what kind of Saber Style it was and he just flatly responded “the Keeping Master Fisto Out Of Trouble” style.

• But yeah, the duels between Cin and any of those four get intense. Most duels between him and any of the masters get intense, though. It’s a good way to test one’s skills.

• He’s literally so indifferent to the nickname “the Troll” that the Order has given him, it’s hilarious. Some Initiate tried to use it as an insult to him and he basically just went “Okay, and?”

• Cin always carries more than one lightsaber on his body at one time. His usual, green one, two yellow shoto, and a blue saber-staff.

• He’s one of the best to go to if you have questions about lightsabers, since he works with them so much. He’s the one who builds all of the training ones, after all.

• He casually refers to the Temple Guards as his “kids”, which is why he’s friends with Plo. 

• During the Clone Wars the two would just go “how are your kids” “doing fine, and yours?” “Also well” 

• He also loves Bene and Serra as his own daughters , along with Whie as a son, as well, despite the boy not being his Padawan

• very much the type of dry-wit humor person. Deadpan snarker. It’s hard to tell if he’s joking if you don’t know him.

• He states that he’ll never get used to the strength of non-humans, as he’s been quite literally thrown by Shaak Ti, Eeth Koth, and Agen Kolar both in duels and on the few missions outside the Temple he’s done.

• Cin suggested that the clones should be trained in saber-work and offered to do it himself. It was put on the back burner, though the few times he’s not in the Temple and down in the Barracks, he’s offered to train the troopers there. Some, like the Commanders and a few ARCs took him up on the offer. And then realized the reason why some Jedi grimaced when his name was mentioned.

• Fives will forever say that ARC training was easier than Saber training with Cin. Battlemaster was a name well earned. Cin then told them the reason he was so hard on them was because he was cut for time, the Clones didn’t have years between leave to learn Saber Forms, so tuck your damn elbows in and adjust your feet, Hardcase.

• Surprising no one, the 104th and 91th troops picked it up faster than the others. Because of course the two would teach their men saberskills on the field. So Cin stepped up the difficulty level. It was fun— for him at least. 

• On that note, Cin suggests that maybe Wolffe should learn Vaapad from Mace and Shii-Cho from Kit when the war’s over. No risk of falling to the dark but he’d have all the unpredictability and speed from both forms.

• He considers the Coruscant Guard to be like his “nephews” in arms, since their job is similar to that of the Temple Guard— and he knows that when both groups can, the two Guard groups get to gether down at 79s for drinks and fun.

• Debated giving Fox and the CG shotos for protection, but eventually decided against it. (Which is a shame.)

• He’s very easy to fluster under that hard exerior and when he’s not teaching or fighting, something that— and here’s where my own personal ships come in and I apologize if this isn’t your cup of tea— Shaak Ti and Saesee Tiin take full advantage of. Shaak teases him relentlessly when she can. Calls him cute and just? He’s CG paint red. “I’m what” “You hard me” “hhhhhhhhh” 

• Saesee just. Picks him up from time to time? Easiest way to fluster him, just pick him up and he shuts up. Cin.exe has stopped working.

• A personal headcanon of mine that disregards canon, from what I know, is that the reason Cin couldn’t beat Vader was because he could quite literally feel the deaths of everyone in the Temple, and outside of it. With so many of his students, friends, and family dying, he was off kilter and easier to kill.

Everyone Lives Prequel AU

Request: "Because fluff is my one true love and I enjoy beating the hell out of Star Wars with it can we get nothing bad happened ever in the galaxy far far away becasue the reader watched the movies,gets thrown into prequels despairs because these people are too pretty to be dead,crippled or depressed and is like well if no one else will save the hotties I will oh and others too"

Thanks for the request! I changed it a little so instead the reader is a member of the Rebellion, but still knows the prequel gang and what causes the fall of the Republic. I hope you enjoy!

All requests are open!

XXX

The galaxy falls into despair, and because you know nothing else to possibly do, you join the Rebellion alongside Bail Organa

You had been close to Padmé and consequently known Anakin and Obi-wan. Since Padmé’s tenure in the Senate, the four of you were inseparable, bonded by your wit, humor, and kindness

When everything is destroyed, you are left alone and devastated

It seems as if the darkness will never end, but then Ahsoka Tano saunters into your life and brings an opportunity to change everything

As it turns out, she is one of the few surviving Jedi, but her misadventures with the Rebellion efforts on Lothal brought her to a way of changing the past

She tells you about apparent portals in the Force discovered in an ancient Jedi Temple on the grassland planet

Few others remain who know your old friends as the two of you did, and Ahsoka feels as if you are the best candidate to travel through time

She tells you that if things go wrong in the current reality, she needs to be there to hold it together

So you are left to change the past. It takes some convincing- you know that the fate of your friends and millions of others would lie on your shoulders

But all-out war with the Empire is an ever-looming possibility, and this is a chance too great to let fall to cowardice and nerves

You accept the offer, pushing aside the doubts and every idea of what could go wrong, and stride into the Lothal temple at Ahsoka’s side

The journey through the Force is like nothing you’ve ever experienced, but you feel a dull pull from within you during the long, winding trek through the starry path. You are the one to lead Ahsoka to your mysterious destination in the world between worlds

The pull leads you to a door; in it, you see a circular picture of the halls of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, bustling with life, and pawadans and the Force, and so much light

Ahsoka peers in, and tells you with a shaking voice that this is the Jedi Temple as it was during the Clone Wars, before the Jedi and their home fell to ruin

There are no more doubts or hesitations: this is the way to bring everything and everyone back. Each innocent life will be returned if you succeed

Ahsoka hugs you, which is surprising at first, but when she looks at you, there are tears in her eyes

“May the Force be with you” is all she manages to say, but that is enough. No words could quite encapsulate what is at stake anyways, nor the danger and urgency of your mission

But you nod, take a deep breath, and step through the portal onto the stone floor of the Jedi Temple

Instantly, calm pervades you; the tension of your daily life dissipates as the steady hum of calm and order surrounds you

Since it is still war, albeit in a time of less chaos, you can only guess that Padmé will be on Coruscant, even if Obi-wan and Anakin aren’t

Luckily for you, your final days of the war were originally spent alongside the 501st, so there are few concerns over running into a past version of yourself as you resolve to change the future, and your plan is set into motion

Somewhat reluctantly, you leave the Temple behind. It fell with the Republic, and on your way to Padmé’s apartment, you fight an uneasy feeling from leaving what was once a great sanctuary

Padmé greets you with warmth, then surprise as you embrace her wordlessly and quickly upon seeing her. Between the tears in your eyes and the lump in your throat, you are too overwhelmed and inhibited from speaking

As you hugged, there was an unusual distance between you. Padmé is already pregnant; you felt her the large curve of her stomach against you

However strange your arrival is, not to mention your appearance and increased weariness, Padmé sits you down on her couch, comfortingly close, and asks what’s wrong

It’s so difficult not to pour your heart out to her; you have ached for years to update her on your life and the hardships you’ve faced. Every horror and injustice flashes before your eyes, but there is a carefully set plan it must be followed if everything is to be saved

Instead, you tell her you know. You say you know about her and Anakin and the baby, and you know in your heart that it will lead to disaster

She is stunned, then relieved. Padmé can’t deny it; her pregnancy is getting harder and harder to hide each day and her marriage is nearly obvious to anyone who has seen her and Anakin in the same room together

But finally, someone understands, and you offer an ultimatum: if she doesn’t tell Obi-wan, you will

Her hesitation is palpable, Although eased by your sympathy and understanding of the situation, as well as the consolation of having someone outside of her handmaidens to confide in, Padmé cannot betray the secret of her marriage without Anakin’s consent

But you also inform her that you know Anakin has been struggling with thoughts of the Dark Side, especially under Palpatine’s influence

You cannot quite reveal how you know all this, but your proximity to your friends is answer enough. Much of what you say has already been suspected by Padmé, yet her fear of the truth and the tumult it would bring prevented her from doing anything

The trust in you and your friendship seals the deal. She resolves to let Obi-wan in and begin an investigation into Palpatine, and with the seeds of securing victory successfully planted, you return to the Temple to caution the Jedi about Palpatine’s deeds and true identity

Getting an audience with high-ranking Jedi is exceedingly challenging. Most of the Jedi that you know are deployed throughout the galaxy

Yet luck brings you to Plo Koon on his leave, and he senses both your confusion and distress as a clear outsider, not only to the Temple, but to this time itself

There is little choice but to confess what you know about Palpatine, despite the suspicious amount of knowledge you have

However, the continued misgivings about the Chancellor added to your accusations are enough for Plo to call an emergency council meeting

When you explain your story, the Jedi do not wait to poke holes in your story, but Yoda stays curiously quiet for the majority of the meeting

Between Obi-wan vouching for you and the certainty of your claims, the Council resolves to investigate Palpatine despite any of their reservations

They say there isn’t enough evidence for an arrest, but a start is a start

A week trickles by, and you remain at Padmé’s side to help gather evidence into Palpatine’s corruption, becoming ever more nervous as the day the Empire will rise creeps closer

But at last, Anakin is called back to Coruscant, and instead of rescuing the Chancellor, he assists in his arrest

The Jedi’s investigation into his misdeeds, supplemented with Padmé’s own findings, amounts to a pile of corruption with the Trade Federation and endlessly shady dealings with the Separatists

Relieved from Obi-wan’s assurances that they will stand together and that he will vouch for Anakin and Padmé for whatever they will face when the baby is born, Anakin finds the strength to turn against his longtime mentor Palpatine

It still comes down to a duel, and Anakin still ends it, but this time, he kills the Sith and stomps out the evil in the galaxy

Further inquisition into Palpatine’s doings reveal his puppeteer-like control over the war, and the stringing along of both sides. Acting quickly, the Jedi manage to prevent Order 66 from happening and apprehend many of Palpatine’s allies in and outside of the Senate

Dooku is arrested and tried and Grievous is killed

Padmé gives birth to two healthy babies, and Anakin decides not to live in secrecy

The Jedi are upset and cautious about the whole affair, yet the Chosen One has just eliminated the last of the Sith. Additionally, Palpatine’s reign has shaken the foundations of the Jedi organization to its core, and the Council agrees that it might finally be time to rethink many of their policies

Anakin’s struggle with the dark has not been lost on them, and Yoda in particular senses that their future could have been much worse

Perhaps you encourage this line of thought as much as you can. After all, the blindness of the peacekeepers and leaders allowed Palpatine to take control in the first place

Yet at last, there is peace. Calm begins to settle over the galaxy; timelines converge and you exist only in the new, hopeful reality

There is still much to be fixed, many wrongs to be righted. But you have ensured that one day, all will be well and as it should be

[inkognito97]

Anakin must be quite shocked to learn Obi-wan was Qui-gon's Sith apprentice, does he bring it up to his master? Can we have more interactions with the other Jedi too, please?

Hate, jealously and anger were feelings that Anakin was all too familiar with. Betrayal however, was new. And he felt betrayed, more than anything else right now. 

The young Sith apprentice tightened his hand around his lightsaber and with a loud war cry, he tore through the training droids, shredding them to small pieces. At this point, he did not care, if anyone heard him, nor did he care if his Master SHOULD pick up on his emotions. Then again, he probably would not, now that Obi-Wan has stepped into his life once more.

The blonde gritted his teeth at the thought of the ginger haired pest, so hard, that his jawbone started to hurt. He knew the Jedi, if he even was one, would mean trouble and now he had the proof for it. And the worst part, his Master had not even told him about the existence of Obi-Wan, not even when they had found themselves standing right across from the man. 

Another shout escaped his aching throat and he Force pushed the last remains of the training droid through the hall he had occupied. The sound of metal clashing on metal could be heard and for once, it only infuriated the young Sith even more. He turned around intending to Force throw the object of his ire through the nearest window, but froze, when he saw that he had an audition.

“What?” he yelled. Ahsoka flinched slightly and hid herself against her Master’s side, while the Kel’Dor remained completely unfazed by Anakin’s dark emotions.

“We heard a commotion and wanted to see if there was anything or anybody, who needed our help,” sait the Jedi master calmly. 

“Everything is fine,” snapped the blonde. He hated the Jedi, now more than ever before.

“I can see that,” the sarcastic reply was the last thing that Anakin wanted and he had opened his mouth to give the older male a healthy piece of his mind, when the Kel’Dor continued talking again. “But perhaps you would like to have a fight against a… better suited opponent.” He held out his lightsaber, not yet igniting it.

The offer was tempting and Anakin had wanted to test his skills against a real opponent for quite some time now. He spared with his Master of course, but it was not the same. Also, he knew how his Master fought, as was the case, the other way around. But this, was something completely different.

“Alright,” he said and got into an offensive position. “But don’t expect me to hold back.” The only thing he WOULD hold back, was the power of his lightsaber. He might not like the Jedi, but he did not want to kill one, it was too much trouble and bureaucracy for his liking. 

“Very well then,” the Kel’Dor put a comforting hand on his Padawan’s shoulder and slightly nudged her to go to the sidelines, while he too got into his battle position. 

Anakin grinned evilly and dashed.

“You fight with too much ire,” Plo Koon, as Anakin had learned, said, while lowering himself next to him. 

Anakin, who was lying on his back on the floor, tilted his head to look up at the older male, who had not even broken out in sweat, while he was a panting mess. “I am a Sith,” protested Anakin as best as he could, tired and worn-out as he was.

“Yes, but you use too much of your emotions. I am aware that Sith use their strong emotions to make themselves more powerful, but never to the extent that they let the emotions control them. You see the result, your anger made you fixed on beating me and you were desperate to achieve this goal. But to what price?” he did not wait for the apprentice to answer. “You abandoned your guard and your skill in favor of letting your anger control you. This is hardly the way of the Sith, OR the Jedi.”

Anakin huffed, but he had to agree with the Jedi, as much as he did not want to. He slowly pushed himself up to his feet, aware of the several aches he had obtained while dueling the Master, who had held back, Anakin knew that. “Thank you for the spar,” he said, almost bitterly and limped out of the hall, aware of the eyes of the female Togruta following him.

He needed time, time for himself and time to meditate so that he could sort through everything he had learned today. Anakin nodded to himself. That sounded like the right thing to do, but as he ran around the corner, his plans of finding calmness and solitude, were shattered.

Anakin tumbled back, almost falling on his behind from the impact, while the other person hardly flinched. Angrily he looked up at the other one, only to find himself scowling into the last face he currently wanting to see.

“Careful young one,” said Obi-Wan in a gentle voice.

Anakin was not fueled however, he knew what rested behind the calm facade, just waiting to be released. In truth, he highly suspected that this man was even worse than his Master. He had learned soon that those, who are civilized and controlled all the time or at least on the outside, are the worst kind of monsters on the inside. He did not really want to know what kind of being the man before him was, once his mask was away. 

Only now did Anakin realize that he had been glaring up at the ginger haired man without saying a word, causing the other one to cross his arms over his chest and raise a challenging eyebrow. 

“Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to contact your Master?”

“No,” Anakin had finally found his voice again. “He is the last person I want to see right now.” He had no idea, why he had said that last part. 

Obi-Wan’s lips twitched a little, the barest hint of a smirk. “Oh?” he huffed, “I wonder why?” the sarcasm in his voice was painfully obvious.

“What?” he was confused.

The ginger haired male’s grin finally appeared. He briefly looked over his shoulder, almost as if checking if the coast was clear, and when he turned back again, his eyes glowed golden. “Don’t presume, just because your Master is a blind and oblivious fool, that the rest of the universe is as well.”

Anakin took a step back, his eyes were wide. This was no Jedi, this was a Sith, a real one, he just disguised himself as a Jedi. “Who ARE you?” he finally asked, not sure what he wanted with this question.

Obi-Wan tilted his head, his eyes seemed to see right through him, penetrating his every being. “That solemnly depends��� on you.”

“I don’t understand.”

A toothy and predatory grin was his answer, as the older male stepped closer and leaned down, their faces only inches apart. “I can be your worst nightmare,” he whispered in his accented voice, “or your greatest ally.”

Anakin blinked, but before he could ask more questions, had Obi-Wan straightened himself again and his eyes had returned to their previous blue-green color. Even his predatory grin had completely vanished. And a moment later, Anakin knew the reason for the quick and drastic change.

“Everything alright it is?”

“Of course Master Yoda, I simply had a little… run in, with young Anakin over here,” the ginger haired man answered the green troll, who had just appeared around the corner. Strange, Anakin had not even heard the troll’s wooden walking stick.

Yoda harrumphed and his eyes rested a moment longer than absolutely necessary, on Anakin. Then, he shook his head and resumed walking, leaving Anakin to stare after him. 

“You should meditate about what I said,” whispered Obi-Wan, before he followed after the old Jedi Master and Anakin was left behind more confused than ever before.

Hi me again! Any headcanons regarding the preffered lightsaber style of Plo Koon and Bultar? What made you headcanon she and Agen were creche mates?

I’m kinda shit at saber styles, but here we gooo!

- Plo Koon’s canon style is Form V: Shien but he is well versed in Ataru.

- According to Legends, he beat Yoda in a duel and so I consider that canon.

- Onto other things, I certainly headcanon that Plo is well versed in Djem So along with Shien because of they share the same form category

- he’s also well versed in Jar’kai and Niman, but not as much as both forms of V and Ataru. 

- In the heat of battle, though, he’s known to just abandon forms and punch someone out if he needs to because for as ‘Typical Jedi’ looking as he is, sometimes you just gotta punch someone.

- He and Cin commonly duel when Plo’s dirtside and Cin’s not busy

- On that one, one of the most well-whispered duels of that year had been between the two of them because no one expected a duel to last an hour with neither giving an inch

- As for Bultar, she doesn’t have a canonical saber form but her first master, Micah’s, preferred form was Jar’kai and so he taught her that alongside Niman, but I don’t think it would be her preferred form.

- Taking that into account, lets look at her other skills: Bultar is also proficient in unarmed combat and canonically (legends) speaking, Bultar knows and excelled in a unique fighting style that blended Teräs Käsi and the Verdanaian "Sliding Hands"

- The wiki simply states: “When fighting an opponent, Swan would remain still and entice her foe to attack. She would then strike forward with awesome speed, blurring her complex routine of moves into a whirl of motion” and “a fluid and acrobatic combat style. In combat, she would use her lightsaber to block attacks while seeking an opportunity to disarm her foe. She would then rain punches and kicks on her unarmed opponent until they surrendered. Her methods in lightsaber combat were greatly influenced by her profound interest in martial arts”

- Thus, I feel she would also lean heavily on Ataru, but she definitely knows and can use Niman and Jar’Kai because of Micah, and maybe she picked up some Shien from Plo? Who knows.

- Honestly, though, Bultar forgets she has her lightsaber sometimes and just punches her enemies and it freaks Banks out so much, please help him.

What made you headcanon she and Agen were creche mates?

Honestly, it was just an idea that the two would be the funniest fucking side-character duo.

- Agen is very much the “fight first, ask later” type of person while Bultar is more willing to negotiate— but when action needed to be taken, both of them feel that further discussion is a waste of time.

- So my thought process was “haha, wouldn’t it be funny if Agen had a friend who was just as willing to fight as he was but more reigned in and also was the sane man to his more violent antics?”

- And Bultar being the “hoe don’t do it. [agen blows something up] oh my god” to Agen was just very funny to me when I decided to do it. I actually have a lot of headcanons pertaining to the Jedi and their ages, but that can be for another time.

- Also Bultar’s actress, Mimi Daraphet, looked similar in age to Tux Akindoyeni, who was Agen’s actor. This is just going by the AotC though— since it’s next to impossible to find stuff on Daraphet and Akindoyeni outside of star wars

- so logically, that means Agen’s also agemates/crèchemates with Lissarkh. Because I personally headcanon that she and Bultar are the same age. So yes, Plo was (even though it's not allowed in canon fuck that noise) training two Padawans at once.

- And then for the heck of it, I threw in Sha (Plo’s niece) and Voolvif Monn (because I love him, and Agen and Voolvif had a friendship moment in the outer rim in the 2003 series)

- So yeah, the five of them are the chaos crèche crew because I thought it would be funny. And it was. Is. To me at least.
