ok i've had thoughts before about obi-wan going to stewjon post fall of the republic and recuperating/maybe even raising luke surrounded by a kenobi clan who hides him from the empire but what if like.

what if darth vader goes to stewjon post fall of the republic (& mustafar). he thinks maybe obi-wan could have possibly gone there because hey, it's his home planet and vader destroyed his other home. but he doesn't find kenobi. or he does--just not the right one. instead he finds like a whole clan of kenobis and none of them are an exact match for his old master who he despises, but obi-wan's third brother has his eyes, and his second uncle twice removed has hands that are just as rough as obi-wan's, and obi-wan's father, who is an old man now, has the same laugh.

and vader keeps going back to stewjon and the kenobis. once every year at least. ostensibly it's to ensure that obi-wan kenobi does not make contact or come to stewjon.

but it's just like. kenobi therapy. vader needs exposure to a kenobi every 6-12 months for his mental wellbeing, otherwise people will die.

sometimes he finds himself just sitting and staring at old man kenobi, obi-wan's blood father, and he's like. oh. that's what you would have looked like at that age. if i were still by your side to see you. if i had not taken away all your reasons to grow laughter lines.

(meanwhile obi-wan kenobi is across the galaxy on anakin's homeworld planet, all alone and wrinkling under the two suns, because when he'd lost his home to the empire, he'd run to the only other home he'd ever known: what remains of his padawan)
