satine would've married , or at least seriously dated , if she had the opportunity. regardless of her feelings for a certain person , they were not beholden to one another , & if there was an opportunity for a fling or even the prospect of a partner she would take it. there wasn't. rebuilding mandalore & raising korkie took up a good chunk of her twenties & when korkie was off to the academy death watch decided to make its appearance. she ... she would've loved to have a partner to share her burdens with , but by the time she could , there was nary a person she could trust since those she regarded as close allies wanted her dead. her final years were lonely , but she'd sacrifice any happiness if it meant her people would flourish.

Dar'Aliit: Chapter Sixteen - When all the Chips are Down (sneak peek)
19 BBY Illandin
Never show up to work drunk. Unless of course your work is supposed to be in a bar, and you're trying to fit into the naturally unruly crowd.
I sit down at the table and slam the bottle of gin in front of me. "Deal me in."
There's a whisper. I can see them all looking at my face. From my snooping, aka listening in while I drink—this place has good drinks—I can tell from first glance this "highly official game" the Republic wants me to participate in is really more like a back door type. You get in by being in the right place at the right time and having enough money.
A Clawdite leans in, his face morphing for larger fangs as he glares at me. "Whaddya want, clone?"
"I live here. I wanna play." I toss a couple of chips on the table. "What's the buy in?"
"Nothing a deserter could afford."
I lean forward, gripping the bottle like a weapon. "You sure?" I hiss back.
The Nemoidian to the right sighs. "Just let him play. Clones come in here all the time looking to lose money."
I get a parting hiss and the clawdite slinks back. He disguises himself as a human. His teeth shrink away. I can see his eyes, though. They're just like mine. He's mocking me.
"Buy in?" I ask again and take a swig of the gin before putting it back down. I have half a bottle left till I'm too slammed to think.
"Fifty."
I reach for my pocket.
The Clawdite corrects his companion. "Fifty thousand."
I pull out the chips anyway and toss them in. "There. Fifty," I pause to stare down my opponent, "Thousand."
There's a snarl. Two others sit around the table. One is a man who looks human but he likely isn't. Something about his eyes doesn't hit right. The last is a nervous looking Leyakian with his broad forehead and wide darting eyes.
I recline in my seat. A droid deals a hand. If these guys are playing for the stakes of separatist arms, they don't act like it. They might be expendable pawns just like me.
A short glance at my hand tells me everything I need to know. And after the first round, it's clear the Leyakian has a nervous tell. He flicks his cards when he's bluffing. The Clawdite has a bad habit of losing his concentration and letting his features relax when he's scared, and the Nemoidian, he's a pretty good bluffer.
I still beat them all hands down.
Krodyck, the Nemoidian, is my only real opponent here. General Nidor did put a pretty big emphasis on the fact this came from the Chancellor and if I lose, all that money is going straight into Separatist arms.
Nerves tell me to reach for the Gin. I reach for my next hand instead. Complete bantha crap. I fold early. Nothing gained, nothing lost. I down another quarter of the bottle. My cards aren't getting much better per round. I make a few hands win, but only narrowly.
Not in all my years have I played with hands this bad. Is this game rigged? I check for signs, but the droid is provided by the establishment. I have to assume it's fair.
Another bust. I'm going to lose. Blyn, the clawdite flashes me an extra toothy smile.
"Say, clone, how'd you get fifty-thousand to buy in with us?"
I look at my poor hand. "Played a few other guys out of their pockets. I like gambling."
"So much you'd leave the army?" Krodyck asks.
"Yeah."
"Hah, so you're just a sore loser then! Couldn't risk losing the war."
I side eye the Leyakian. His eyes are scanning his cards coolly. He's got a decent hand this round. These guys are getting way too personal as well.
Setting down my cards, I reach for my gin. "If you think I can't beat you all, then have a drink on me." I gesture to a Twi'leki waitress wandering past. She cocks a brow and whisks off to find drinks.
"I think you're lying about something," Blyn mutters. "Good gamblers are always good liars."
"And how many hands have I won against you?" I counter.
He laughs. "You're right, you'd make a terrible liar."
Krodyck himself chuckles. The waitress comes back with a round of bottles and issues them to the table. I grab my own.
"To beating the clone at Sabbac," I say and lift mine up.
I get a few laughs. "To beating the clone at Sabbac!" They toast in response.
It's a round of cheers. The bottles are drained and slammed back down. Another round is called for. The droid reminds us we should be playing the game.
"I fold!" Blyn mutters. He slams his hand on the table. The Leyakian stares at his cards more nervously now. The human dropped out ages ago.
"Call," whispers the Leyakian.
"Call." I stare him right in the eyes.
Kodyck glances at his hand. Then he grabs his chips and shoves them in. "I'm tired of this, all in!"
"To winning!" Blyn urges the Leyakian on. He timidly pushes it all in.
They stare at me. I stare at my cards. I'm going to lose if they don't fold. I kick back, study the table, gulp down the last of my alcohol, and lay down my cards. The words bubble up without prompting. "To screwing over the kriffing Republic!" I grab all my chips. "All in."

4 BBY Illandin
"Wait a minute, you're banned from the Kiln?" Esho turns in shock. "You? Uncle Kian?"
I finish cleaning my blaster. "We don't discuss it."
"But this is Illandin! Half this place is run by clones and the most laid back people in the galaxy. How—"
I hold up my hand. "I said we don't talk about it."
"I was hearing good things about them too," Zur complains.
"They've got the best food and booze around," Esho gushes.
I know. They need to stop rubbing it in. "We can go drinking anywhere," I pipe up. "And we can get lunch on the way. We have a mission, remember?"
"Oh!" Esho hops up. She's still a little nervous around us, but I suppose we did just pull her off patrol duty and stick her in a highly classified black ops squad. She can handle it.
"We could join my uncles out at the farm and eat with them. Then you can meet my dad." She's looking at me.
"Why...not," I mutter. Surrounded by clones. Yes because I want to relive every reminder of my past. Why not?
"C'mon then." Esho's up. "I'll lead the way. We can get to the city after that and keep looking for your connection with Molto Shore. It won't take long, I promise." She turns to the others. "I'll probably be whatever we have on the farm, everyone good with that?"
I hear no complaints. I snap my blaster back together and stand up. "Everyone up," I order. "We're going to get lunch, then we'll hit up the city."
I get a few looks, but no one questions anything. Only Esho hangs back as they file out and she waits for me. She flashes me a secret grin. "Someday, you've got to tell me the story."
I side-eye her. "Never."

I really enjoy Star Wars but only from your perspective/takes do you have any fic you recommend your mind is a wonderful place to observe Star Wars much better than those movie should be
I still haven’t seen the movies lmao, and a lot of the fics I read aren’t necessarily the kind of thing I actually futz about with? But here are a few that mostly err on the side of comedic (I don’t have the energy to include disclaimers and warnings, so please check tags before you read anything):
Either outright comedies, or plot-heavy with significant comedic moments:
Untitled Soulmate Game - soulmate AU where the main plot device is that one morning a goose shows up and bothers you until you find your soulmate
Be Careful What You Sith For - Palpatine does A Sith Magic that results in everyone in the galaxy getting the name of their death (in the default timeline) written out on their arm. I... can’t remember if this is actually funny but there are certainly moments.
Sith Lord Swell - Luke and his students (Ben Solo is mid-teens) end up pre-TCW and... decide the best cover is to pretend they’re all Sith Lords. It’s all very silly and Luke goes in real hard on being a big ham, it’s great.
Wake the Storm - Mid-TCW Anakin swaps places with ANH Vader. His body comes with him. It’s all very confusing. I don’t remember how funny this one was, but.
Lies About Jedi - Cody uses a shiny trooper to guilt-trip Obi-Wan into taking a nap
Shining Bright Above You - chatfic clone hijinks
The Happening - yet more chatfic clones
GAR Requsitions - clones deal with bureaucratic nonsense
Soft Wars - TCW but, like, soft
Senator Obi-Wan AU - AU where Obi-Wan isn’t a Jedi, but insists on running into danger even more than Padme does
Old Man Luke - Sequels Luke ends up mid-TCW
Shifting Sands - Sequels Leia shows up on Tatooine a year pre-TPM, forcibly adopts herself into the Skywalker family. It’s not... technically a comedy, but there are a lot of satisfying “Why are you LIKE THIS” moments for everyone involved
Realign the Stars - time travel (Anakin, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, Cody, Rex) not primarily a comedy but there’s a lot of moments that are just like “Anakin won an entire moon and half of Tatooine by rigging the bets in a race” and that’s just. It’s choice.
An (Un)fortunate Haunting - Anakin is haunted by Vader’s ghost
The Corteous Art of Correspondence During A Galactic War as Performed Aptly by Certain Sith and Jedi - Rael Averross sends bitchy letters to Dooku during TCW
Bar Fights and Beaches - short and sweet, Anakin is very “dis mine” about his soldiers
Everyone is confused but R2-D2. - Vader finds out his children exist while on the Death Star, proceeds to cause problems
Din Djarin and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Time Travel Incident - Din Djarin time-travels to mid-TCW. Everyone assumes he’s a Mandalorian from so far in the past that the Jedi/Mando rivalry didn’t exist yet. He does not realize this, and accidentally keeps confirming their suspicions.
Not comedies but very good, mostly time ravel:
Living in Borrowed Time - Ahsoka & Rex do mental time-travel from their deaths to a day or so before their first meeting
wilder mind - Force-sensitive Rex!
Don't Look Back - shortly post-OT Leia gets physically transported back to just before AotC
Of Queens, Knights, and Pawns - Sequels Leia goes to sleep the night after Han dies and wakes up nineteen again, on the Death Star
Reprise - Ben Kenobi dies, wakes up physically thirty-five and several hundred stories below the Temple main floor, claims he’s 16yo Obi-Wan’s uncle, things spiral wildly in directions that make political sense but are also Very Odd if you want stations of the canon
Probability Matrices - Darth Vader dies, Ben’s ghost does A Thing, Anakin Skywalker wakes up a week before Qui-Gon arrives with almost forty years of memories he shouldn’t have. This series is like 50% therapy by volume so I love it. Din Djarin and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Time Travel Incident
The Dark Path Lit by Sun and Stars - Mental time-travel for Ben, de-aging and physical time travel for the OT trio. Feelsy.
The Desert Storm - Ben time travel, mostly serious, very long, good if you have a few weeks to waste (I admittedly took only a few days but binge-reading your weekends away is not recommended)
Double Agent Vader - a classic
into the desert - Anakin doesn’t go evil, fic is very heavily 
Well It Goes Like This - Anakin doesn’t Fall, but everything else mostly still happens as it did; he manages to save a handful of kids and escape O66

Jedi don't steal children. Ok. Anakin was a slave won in a rigged dice game but hey the Jedi can't be ethically held to getting Shmi out of slavery. Anakin grows up knowing his mother rots in slavery, but told to get over his constant, prophetic dreams of her death. The Tusken Massacre is all Anakin being Evil and the old Jedi are perfect (none of them know their mother's names).
Wow...there’s a lot to unpack here LOL
“Jedi don't steal children.”
To be fair, I don’t believe the Jedi steal children and, to be *really* honest, I’ve never seen anyone claim they did. I mean, there’s an actual ethical discussion about the Order’s recruitment procedures but this idea that the jedi are somewhat evil baby snatchers only exists in two places:
Canon: Some in-universe characters/cultures actually believe the Jedi Order steal babies.
Jedi hardcore fans claiming tumblr is overrun with Jedi haters who think the jedi are as evil as Palpatine. No middle ground. You either die a jedi stan or you live long enough to see yourself become a Jedi hater :P
When talking about the whole ‘baby snatcher’ thing, the discussion I’m interested in is the one about ethics and procedures. That’s what interests me. And when it comes to the jedi Order, it’s impossible to deny some of their procedures suffer from certain ethical shortcomings.
Look at it this way: imagine if your government passed a law that said a non-governmental, secretive, private funded organization had the legal right to access your newborn child and test them. In a world where parents throw actual tantrums at the suggestion of vaccinating their babies, can you imagine the shitshow that would happen if a similar law were even suggested right now? That’s what I’m talking about. If you look at the situation from a different perspective, considering the ethical and even cultural fallout of such procedures, it’s impossible not to think ‘hey, maybe there’s something wrong here’. that’s the nuance some people fail to grasp: it’s not about the jedi being evil, it’s about noticing some of their procedures needed improvement.
Tbh, I’m kind of tired of discussing the jedi because part of the fandom tends to completely mischaracterize the whole discussion. I’m too old to be constantly explaining that though I firmly believe shmi or the clones enslavement were unforgivable, I don’t hate everything and everyone connected to them. I’m tired of this fucked up tumblr mentality where you either love everything or hate everything, where you must be an anti or a stan.
Anyway, speaking of slavery:
“Anakin was a slave won in a rigged dice game but hey the Jedi can't be ethically held to getting Shmi out of slavery.”
Fuck yeah! It kills me how people are still trying to defend Shmi’s enslavement by claiming that trying to save her would’ve been unethical. I’m like…REALLY? It’s unethical for a sworn protector of the weak and abused to save a slave? this fucking fandom ¯\_(ツ)_/¯You know what else is unethical and an actual crime: child endangerment, like when you let a poor 9 years old kid subscribe to a known deadly race to save the *SHIP* of your wealthy, ADULT companions.
“Anakin grows up knowing his mother rots in slavery, but told to get over his constant, prophetic dreams of her death.”
Anakin is a whiny baby, I mean, who wouldn’t be okay with their only family being abused, enslaved, forced to work under two suns for a greedy, disgusting being on a desert planet? Anakin should just get over it. you know, let it go, man. Worrying about your mom is a pathway to evil and leaving people to rot in poverty, crime and slavery is how world peace is achieved. That’s why our real world is such a lovely, peaceful place filled with happy, healthy people…oh wait! Nevermind… -___-
The Tusken Massacre is all Anakin being Evil and the old Jedi are perfect (none of them know their mother's names).
The tusken massacre was an inexcusable, cruel action that no one should ever consider right. I mean, there’s a difference between understanding why Anakin acted that way and believing Anakin’s actions were righteous. I don’t believe the Jedi should be considered responsible for any of Anakin’s actions that night but I think we can look at the event as a symptom of a larger problem.
Responsibility is tricky, especially when your political/social duty is so ingrained in your own identity. I don’t blame the Jedi Order for *Anakin’s* actions because they were not directly responsible for those particular actions. However, they were responsible for Anakin himself, especially considering he was still a padawan. I mean, if the kid you taking care of kills someone on your watch you’re at least partly responsible. To put it simply, if a cop slaughters someone the entire Police Force should be put under a microscope. Not because they are ‘evil’ but because these kinds of events are usually a symptom of a systemic problem, especially when we are talking about recurring events (like padawans and jedi masters going dark side).
I don’t know believe we should go ‘oh tusken massacre was the jedi’s fault’ but we do have to recognize that Anakin’s ability to slaughter an entire community and get away it without any real repercussion shows their system was flawed. If we remember they had suspicions something had gone terribly wrong on Tatooine the situation becomes even more dire.
They suspected a member of their order had done *something* he shouldn’t have but somehow there was no investigation, no reports, no repercussions. That’s unethical and probably illegal behavior. People try to excuse it as the jedi being busy with the war but that’s like saying we shouldn’t investigate cops killing innocents because there’s a pandemic going on. It’s cruel. Not only it dehumanizes the victims and diminishes their suffering, it’s a behavior unbecoming of a group who exists to protect people from these very crimes.
Again, this is not about blaming everything on the jedi or ‘hating’ them. It’s about recognizing the situations where they could’ve done better.

MEGGY’S DESTINY REVIEW
With an epic journey and the tragic loss of a possible friend if such events didn’t unfold under her belt, our favorite squid humanoid (minus the squid part) fulfills a promise to her long-gone rival in this coming-of-age YouTube video which is not only a feature short-film but a step forward for this family of mentally-challenged paisanos. Howdy everyone, SuperWarrior here and welcome to this review of SMG4’s first ever movie (or special extended episode depending how you look at it), “Meggy’s Destiny”. Let’s just say we are in for a TREAT today, and before we begin I must advise you: This review is SPOILER-HEAVY, so if you haven’t seen this movie yet GO WATCH IT then come back here once you’re DONE. I’m already throwing this out there, I HIGHLY recommend watching this video if you’re an SMG4 fan or very interested in these kinds of stories. Are you done? Well then grab your Ink Bois and buckle-up, you’re in for a RIDE.
「昨年は大変でした」 “Last Year Was Rough”
To start off the synopsis, our adventure begins with Meggy resting in her bed telling us her backstory on how she was introduced into the SMG4 universe, met Mario for the first time, and reminiscing the dozens of journeys they and her new friends went on together. But her past year came with a price. All thanks to the SMG4 gang’s anime-related hijinks, a spiraling lead of events caused the casualty of Meggy’s bitter rival, Desti. When the two cephalopods were held captive at Francis’s Ink Prison, she discovered her enemy never truly despised her at all and was only looking forward to her humiliation when it came to competition. During the octo’s funeral, Meggy in her new form vows to finally win a Splatfest tournament in her honor. Just imagine if Desti was a much bigger character, Final Hours would’ve had an even bigger impact on the series than it already left. Months have passed since the group’s biggest misadventure yet and the final tournament is right around the corner.
「マルーナーズベイで相手を守れ!」“Keep Opponents at Marooner’s Bay!”
It’s the next day and the Splatsquad is finishing up training for tomorrow. Mario, Luigi, Meggy, and Tari are about to hone their Turf War skills one last time with the rest of the SMG4 group cheering them on in the bleachers. The team successfully completes their exercise as their friends congratulate and wish them luck for the big day. Professor E. Gadd suggests if they want to be victorious, they’ll have to use his latest inventions or as he calls them Ink Bois to even the score since none of them can hide in and slide across ink. Meggy gets a surfboard, Luigi uses a roller chair, Tari obtains a keyboard, and Mario owns a… lawnmower. Meggy refuses to use her gadget because of her pride and confidence, claiming that the advantage is personally insulting. The squad begins another round with their new devices by battling each other, she manages to survive until Tari knocks her out. Everyone cheers (besides Meggy) for the humanoid cyborg and they all go to the former Inkling’s apartment for a wrap-up party. During the celebration, Axol checks up on her but Meggy hides her concerns about losing saying she’s just fine. Then Mario offers her a game of Pin The Tail On Boopkins of all people (ok, not sure what he did to make this a thing) and she happily accepts.
「レース・トゥ・ザ・フィニッシュ!」 “Race To The FINish!”
Now it’s the first day of the Splatfest and the team arrives at Deca Tower preparing for the opening round. Meggy hallucinates seeing Desti nearby, making Tari worried but Meggy once again says she’s fine. The Squid Sisters (presumably Off The Hook is on vacation) announce the beginning of the tournament and explain the rules of the round: A race in the SPLATstacle Course as a test of agility and skill and any fighting during this round will result in disqualification, whoever makes it within 20 minutes advances to the second round. Splatoon purists, it’s time for your lesson in universal lore facts. For those of you who were wondering, the tournament shown in this movie is NOT based on any event from the game series. This Splatfest is primarily original for the sake of the story as Callie and Marie said it themselves: it’s apparently the last ever tournament due to them being less cost-effective (likely since interest in Splatoon died down after Chaos vs. Order) and they’ve decided to do something different to make it special (unless they ever get proper funding again). I do not make the rules, nor do the writers. This series is not meant to follow any canon video game lore since this interpretation of the Splatoon universe is different from the official just like the Mario one. And to those who think humans cannot be in Inkopolis since they don’t exist anymore, a little game called Super Smash Bros. Ultimate already kinda threw that rule out the window. Anyway before the race starts, the team is abruptly introduced to their new rivals, Team Killer Ink. The two briefly have a back-and-forth as expected from typical rivalries like this, then all competitors stand at the start and the race begins. Everyone races to the finish while beating the following obstacles: sliding down rails, avoiding buzzsaws, shooting Zapfish dolls at hoops, avoiding water sprinklers (which is a given for the Splatsquad), climbing a tower which Meggy manages to do with a lava butt-bounce, and long jumping a huge gap towards the goal. Our heroes run into trouble with the last obstacle thanks to the Killer Ink’s leader pushing Meggy off, but the team successfully rescues her with 30 seconds remaining. Later that day, Meggy walks around frustrated about her rivals teasing her for being human and she tries to calm down with an order of ice cream. However, Crusty Sean notices her and explains that his food truck has a strict “no humans” policy. Then she travels to other shops which also happen to have the same sign from earlier. Yeah, I’m not one to reference real-life history but someone needs to tell this side of Inkopolis that it’s not 1965 (or in this case 2015) anymore. This might be the most confusing part of the video as everyone refusing to serve Meggy doesn’t make sense even for this universe. If she was able to live in Inkopolis after becoming human, why is this a thing NOW? Didn’t she help save the town with her friends? But it turns out this sequence might’ve been a dream all along as Meggy sees her past self. She tells her that she is nothing without her old abilities and she only won the round because of her friends’ help. But Human Meggy claims she’s capable on her own especially without the surfboard, her Inkling self leaves, and she wakes up.
「スクワイドラン」 “Squidward Run”
The second day of Splatfest is here and Meggy throws away her gadget as Axol oversees her entering the tower. Later on, the Squid Sisters introduce the second round which is attacking an army of Squidwards. First team to 100 and wins and advances to the finals but attacking teammates will cost 10 points. The battle begins as the four teams scramble to earn the winning score. Everything seems well until Meggy struggles to keep up with her team. Nearing 100 points, Mario spots a cannonball of Squidwards and the Ink Brigade team wins the match (not Killer Ink, this is a different team). The Splatsquad is shocked to have lost resulting in Meggy breaking down crying. She regrets throwing away the board as it would’ve helped them out to win and she runs away. Mario grows suspicious of the Brigade’s victory and proceeds to investigate.
「メギーの絶望」 “Meggy’s Despair”
That night, Meggy is depressed about her failure thinking about letting Desti down. She exclaims “Don’t be sad”, but it turns out to be Axol looking over to cheer her up. He hands her the surfboard she trashed earlier, saying that the professor upgraded his Inkweaver and is willing to test both of them out. They both spray and slide down the building which cheers Meggy up missing what it felt like having those abilities. Meanwhile back at the stage, Mario, Luigi, and Tari search for clues about the rigged match. Mario trips on something, and it happens to be a switch behind some plants. He activates it revealing a cannon that shoots out Squidward clones, and it turns out that the winning team had cheated and the three rush to tell the news. Back to Meggy and Axol as the two finish their fun, she is enlightened but still complains about the board since it reminds her of her past. Axol explains that the device does not take away from her personality or shows sign of weakness, despite being one the best manga artists out there he relies on his trusty pen to unlock his true potential. What really matters is being yourself and the advantage is nothing to be ashamed of. Meggy agrees but she wishes he had told her before they lost the tournament. SUDDENLY the Squid Sisters barge in to tell her the good news: The Splatsquad is back in the Splatfest. Thanks to the trio’s detective work (which Mario desperately wants all the credit for), the Ink Brigade has been disqualified for tampering with the arena and her team can compete in the finals. Everyone is ecstatic, especially Meggy since she is relieved to have one last chance to fulfill her promise.
「あなたに勝利を約束しました」 “Promised You a Victory”
Back to her dream, Meggy makes a deal with her past form to use the Ink Boi and she evaporates into particles floating in the breeze. Then Desti shows up asking her how it feels to fulfill her dream, but she says it’s not about winning and is doing this for her. Desti smiles and knows she will win. Then it’s the third day and final round at Walleye Warehouse, where the Turf War begins with Splatsquad against Killer Ink. Poetically as Callie says, it ends where it all began this time with standard rules. The match starts and the heat is on between the competitors resulting in some cool tricks from the Squad team. As time gets closer to zero, tension builds up when three of our heros get splattered and it’s down to Meggy. But through her skill and determination she knocks out three opponents with a triple-combo kill buying her time. The Killer Ink leader tries to escape and she chases after her. Nowhere in her sights, the leader surprise-attacks Meggy and looks up getting mocked and then hallucinates Desti as if she was right in front of her. Meggy exclaims she’s only getting started. Using the surfboard, she throws her Splattershot at her, kicks her own weapon and knocks her out. 15 seconds left and the Squad spray as much of the warehouse as they can. Time is UP, and silence looms over the arena when the score is tallied (I wonder if Judd and Li’l Judd are there). And the winner is…. TEAM SPLATSQUAD. Everyone cheers and Meggy has finally made her vow to win for Desti with tears of joy. The SMG4 crew congratulates their friends and Bob declares another party back at the apartment to celebrate the wondrous occasion. But E. Gadd shouts for a thank you for his inventions.
「何でもいい!」 “No Matter What!”
Back at Meggy’s home everyone is gleefully partying the evening away and she is finally proud to have completed her momentous task and thanks Axol for his help. Meggy goes outside to the rooftop viewing the sunset and Desti’s spirit appears. She asks what she’ll do now, Meggy replies with what she meant about her friends but Desti explains all she saw was her constant training and mourning her loss and she needs to move on. Meggy responds saying that it’s been difficult to forget so she makes it easier with a hug. Desti thanks her for keeping the promise and they both say goodbye. She fades away into the sky and Meggy is comforted knowing she achieved closure. Overhearing Mario playing Pin the Tail again, she rushes back to her room to play with her friends as the camera shifts to the sunset concluding the film.
「涙ぐましい、間抜けな、楽しい映画」 “A Tear-jerking, Goofy and Fun Film”
I love this movie A LOT and the positive reception is well-deserved. Luke, Kevin, all of you guys down at Glitch Productions, FANTASTIC work for bringing justice by finishing what the Anime Arc left off. I have nothing but true praise for this masterpiece which we’ll finally go over. The editing is well done especially during certain scenes along with the video’s overall tone make it close to the feeling of a feature-length movie. I know, 40 minutes doesn’t necessarily count as the arcs do a better job satisfying length but it holds the record for being the longest SMG4 video ever. Characters are spot-on with Meggy having the starring role to boot. The comedy is par for the course like the usual SMG4 video, but I’m glad it doesn’t clash with the overall story and serves its purpose for a good laugh as it usually does. And there are memorable moments such as Meggy crossing paths with her Inkling self, Axol helping her and my most favorite part, the ending when Desti hugs her and says goodbye. That’s powerful AND beautiful. But nothing is ever really perfect as my only problem is that there isn’t much of a bump in quality with the visuals like how most shows upgrade their art style when they’re turned into movies. I don’t think the whole thing falls apart because of it, I just wanted to know what the video would look like had it looked as good as the poster, but looks aren’t everything if you have a great plot to back it up. Maybe someday Garry’s Mod 2 will be released and the next movie will look even better than this one also becoming the new standard for future videos, who knows. If you’re confused or don’t agree on why I love the current state of the channel, it’s because we would like to see them at their true potential. By the looks of it, they might be taking baby steps or they might not be far off soon enough. Meta Runner and Glitch Productions were made from their ambition and hard work and is pretty commendable from their background of making videos initially for fun, and this movie may as well be the bridge for things to come. Whatever happens, I wish all of these people the best of luck. With all that said, I’m giving Meggy’s Destiny a perfect 10/10 and nothing else needs to be spoken.
That’s all for my review everyone, I really hope all of you enjoyed it and the film as much as I did because SMG4 DEFINITELY pulled it off. Most of my friends love it and wish them the best too. So thank you guys so much for watching and once again thank you Luke and your friends for giving us something special after all these years, please keep it up don’t let yourselves down. See you guys later and we’ll meet again for more reviews and reactions and peace out!

kitty cat? All of you you don't have to say Anakin Skywalker if you reply ITS OBVIOUS YOUR TALKING ABOUT HIM!

Ryan Bramble When someone goes to the darkside they usually have a trumatic experience pre-darkside. Like anakin getting most of his body destroyed and losing his lover and the opportunity to raise his children. That obviously broke him. To use the darkside you have to have some rage or sadness since that is what it feeds off.

Connor Schultz We all should know that by now. When someone goes dark side, some how, some way, for some stupid reason the person that you once was isn't.... For some reason.

acephantom903 If the republic never collapsed (which it might have with the droid armies still on patrol because half of the separatist leaders were not captured on Utapau) then there wouldn't have been the break off military group which would have allowed Snoke to get power in the unknown regions. That and he would have had the full jedi council who would have chased him down upon his first contact with the known galaxy. This is ignoring what Snoke may or may not be according to the leaks. If he is what the leaks suggest, that would only make Snoke stronger and more dangerous possibly killing the Skywalker twins before episode 4 to 6. 7-9 could still theoretically happen but things would be very different.

DANIEL M I don't think so, like he said, sometime, in the future, one of Anakin descendents might fall into the dark side, so, the films would happen, but they would be much different
Tumblr media
Jonah Wilson True but Ben Solo wouldn't be influenced to the dark side because Darth Vader would have never existed, the first order would have no ground to build on and no resistance would be needed to counter them. Different story entirely.
Tumblr media
João Farias The original trilogy could be about how Luke turns to the Dark SIde (as it was intended to happen, maybe motivated by Sidious Force Ghost) in movie IV, killing Anakin and making Yoda fled. Movie V could be about Leia + Force Ghosts x Luke and VI could be about the defeat of Luke and the final reveal of Snoke, plotting everthing from scratch.
Tumblr media
Rachel Morris And about the objections on how Snoke would gain power.... Man... He is a millennial dark side vampire. He would find a way....

MandoG  I believe it is incredibly rare for force ghosts to exist and they can only exist if the person passed the test of the Wills meaning they can embrace both their own light and darkness but chose the light. Here is the whole article in the canon wiki So these were our first list of some of the best star wars fanfiction and we hope you guys liked this fanfic collection.

許進曾 if palpatine is dead than how will snoke got so many star destroyer and star killer base, those are empires weapon the super laser is constructed to be a bigger scale on the death star Bouncin Well....Vader took over the empire but he's strong and is pre-suit. If you played the game Revenge of the Sith alternate ending. So, 4-6 happens but pre-suit Vader as the new Emperor. Max217 Don't you think that the separatist movement would survive if Grievous made it clear to the galaxy that he is still alive? Once the droid army was shutdown, the people of the CIS were still alive but had no motivation to fight with all their leaders dead. But if Grievous were to show up the war would still continue and they would have a general that could lead them once again. king274 he didnt exactly care for the CIS he just hated the enemies of the CIS. So I doubt the remnants of the CIS would be the first people he'd be looking for. DJ Panda Gaming The prequel movies where made to show the easy corruption of a government and how it manipulated. The separatist army was a basic fake front to start a war, without the current conflict of war, Lord sidious would have never won the power of the people in his efforts to end the FAKE WAR. Reguardless of grevious death, the separatist leaders were being moved to mustafar, a different planet perfect for hiding murder. For all we know sidious sent them their for his plan of having his apprentice eliminate them and grevious would have been safe seeing how he was never mentioned to go with them, however obiwan surprised him by abusing him after the meeting roiking2740 stop that's the thing palpatine were supplying them money to construct the droids in thr first place some cunt actually we learn from the second episode that dooku has gathered a large group of supporting long with their own banking clans that would donate to building a Droid army, along with the abundant resources available on genenosis SkiddyGaming but palpatine hold the majority and not to mention his death at episode 3 so I'm sure most of them dropped out Intrepid Explorer Lol, Abusing. Yeah I guess Obi showing up just standing there and showing off that Grievous couldn't quickly kill the intruder was abusing. Then prying open and shooting between his chest plates was more abuse. AEM reviews it was the only way if the a genetic modified clone who was trained to kill jedi wasn't able to kill grievous the who could the rebellion wouldn't they were to weak at the time and not to mention out skilled So these were some of the best Star Wars Rebels fanfiction in 2020 that you will come across the internet and We hope you guys enjoyed reading it. Star Wars The Clone Wars Fanfiction  Because of the popularity of the Star Wars Franchise, the media producers expanded the series into many film parts, tv series, video games, and theme park attraction making room for many star wars fanfiction lemon lovers to be a part of the never-ending fan base. Elderon f he managed to get the word out, I think it would undermine Order 66. Many clones would likely still obey, but there were plenty among them who trusted the Jedi and viewed them as friends. Rex would believe Fives, and I feel Cody would have been the first clone he'd have reached out to Fallen Knight Tylen That's a little difficult to be sure of. He was worried at first about the truth being spread by Fives, but he had things set up to prevent that from happening. So if Fives had been successful in spreading the word, his priority would be trying to regain command over the clones. And there are several ways he could go about doing this. Runsonhappiness But once the words out the words out. So even if he regains control over the clones the soon the entire galaxy will find out he's a sith. The republic would be split into civil war either way. Worlds would start succeeding and possibly a third faction forms in the clone wars. The real question is if it's all revealed would the sepertist fallow Dooku knowing that he was working for Sidious who was leading the republic. john smith make a good point, though Dooku does have Grievous to enforce order. If anyone disagrees with him, he can have Grievous deal with them. And let's face it, the Separatist leaders don't have a lot of courage. Vince Lumontad But here's the thing it only takes one smart courageous person to start a civil war. Plus their own civilian populist would start revolting. And who knows how Grievous himself would react hearing how everything was rigged from the beginning. Brian Anakin would have been allowed to reach his peak (on par with yoda) maybe not by the time all of that takes place but he would surely be stronger with the force than he was as Vader which is scary southparkstudio  ask the Geonosian to build the republic a droid amry and the cis buy clone from Kamin Sergio Torres Maybe the droids built by the Republic would be of far better quality, or not. It would still be interesting to see how the Republic would build their droids and what kind of cloning templates the Separatists would use. Calvin Matthews Without the Clones leading the conflict being called The Clone Wars honestly it probably would have been called the First Galactic Civil War because technically that's what the Clone Wars was, a civil war between the Republic and the Confederates. Majin Taolf I think that would be the name of it if the republic won. But if the seperatists won it would have been something ells in my opinion. Star wars the clone wars is 2008 computer-animated television series. we have many Star wars the clone wars fanfiction lovers reading this Star Wars Fanfiction updates. Star Wars Fanfiction Crossover Very few people know this that star wars fanfiction media series holds a Genius world Record of the "Most Successful Film Merchandise franchise" that makes another reason on the list why most people are interested in Star Wars Fanfiction Crossover collection and Star wars Lemon Fanfiction Collection. Sau 13 Well there are many other games and films with cool ships. Whe hawe Stargate, Warhammer, Sarship Troopers, Starcraft even Warframe joined now. I cant say the Predator mothership because it doesn't really have competition. 🤔 Illutian Kade ya a sequel would be neat hopefully they add more from mass effect besides just the Normandy and reapers they for got about a lot of ships you got to see in the battle for the citadel in mass effect 1 LudBud How about the Cylons are invading Earth and have the BSG arrive with other Battlestars from other realities to stop them. I like the Warhammer 40K universe too. Realist Dude May the emperor s light ve spreadacross the stars... By my Duty The Galaxy will belong to the righteous... By my action the Imperial Navy shall be honoured And remembred upon Holy Terra! FOR THE EMPEROR OF MANKIND AND FOR THE BATTLEFLEET GOTHIC!!!!!!! Babur Dombay it is more likley that Klingons and the covenant would Team up. The Empire would destroy them instead becoming Allies The Reapers would try to kill all of them due there idealogy that if a Race become to advanced they will eridicate them James Cassidy Its missing one certain Imperium. Tho if they did come across them, the Imperium of Man might just accuse them of heresy cuz of their advanced AIs and droid. CP i had this "problem" once the UNCS started sending ships against the Galactic empire, they stormed some of my systems because it were between their frontiers,MY GAME GOT OUT OF HAND AFTERWARDS (the two went against me for attacking their ships on my territory) Fate Weaver I managed to drag a friend of mine into a war he had no chance of winning. Up until this point, I'd been the UN to his Iraq. Giving him Humanitarian Aid, supplying him with advice on how to unfuck his economy (Only for him to refuck ten minutes later) and even helping him in his wars. I ended up picking a fight I couldn't possibly win due to forgetting that this faction had a defensive pact with one of the Galactic superpowers. Told my friend, who was relatively new to the game as this was his second session ever, that if he joined the war we'd both be able to win. My ulterior motive, though, was literally just to use him as a distraction until I could sue for a white peace. He fell for it and, upon getting my peace, I revealed to him that he'd been played like a fiddle. Man I love that game.
