#anti kenobi series

[aj-artjunkyard]

I think the prequels should’ve made Owen Lars Anakin’s full brother. I think we should’ve had gruff 19/20 year old completely Force-null Owen in TPM and make the audience assume for a moment that that’s young Darth Vader, but nope, it’s the tiny blond Yippee boy who’s playing with droids.

I want to play with old Ben’s line about Uncle Owen in ANH “He thought (Anakin) should’ve stayed here, not gotten involved (in the clone wars)��� as Owen urging Anakin to quit the Order in AOTC because a war is brewing in the Republic, telling him their mother sent Anakin away to be safe, and would never approve of him becoming a soldier.

Then Uncle Owen in OWK with that same dismissive attitude towards Obi-Wan but this time it’s not just protectiveness of Luke but also because he blames the Jedi for corrupting his little brother

A rant about Jedi Stans from an ex-Jedi fangirl

After some time I've had to reflect on my own behavior as well as my time in the pro Jedi fandom, I decided it's time to call this shit out. Some people take it really personal if someone criticized your favorite characters or their beliefs. Ironically, you all act more like the Sith than the Jedi with how obsessive you can be and insisting any criticism is equal to wanting genocide.

I'm going to start by saying I was in the pro jedi fandom for a few months. Truth be told, I was using it as an outlet for some of my anger issues with my hate towards Anakin, seeing him as similar to a lot of people I've had to deal with. Some of it was wanting more followers and fear of being disliked by the majority. I would pick fights with Anakin fans and was a bit of an asshole and I apologize for that. I still don't like him but no longer HATE him. Seeing how fandoms treat abuse victims who aren't perfect angels like Shinji Ikari or Lapis Lazuli has caused me to loosen up a bit. Many Jedi stans would probably hate those characters for not being “perfect” victims. In retrospect, this wasn't a good community for me. It was very puritanical and I often felt like I was wrong for enjoying media that went against the beliefs Jedi Stans put on a pedestal. Three of my favorite ships (Madohomu, Reishin and Hodaka x Hina) involve "burning the world for one person" and I felt like I couldn't talk about them without being a hypocrite. That and me agreeing less and less with Luca's beliefs pushed me to leave.

It's fine to enjoy a fictional character and defend them if you feel that they're being unfairly criticized. I've done it myself and have written essays defending my faves. The problem is that Jedi stans don't know when to stop. So many are quick to compare the Jedi to minority religions or marginalized groups as a shield against criticism, not recognizing how insulting that can be. Jewish, asian and aroace people are the ones normally used due to the Jedi beliefs being based off Eastern religions as well as Judaism as well as some aroace people identifying with the Jedi.

One thing I noticed about Jedi stans is their similarities to Jumblr which is full of religious chauvinism reworded to sound progressive. Many of them talk about how the Jedi shouldn't have to change their traditions with the times or to accommodate a few individuals like Anakin or Ahsoka. This can be similar to how a lot of people are quick to defend minority religions from outside criticism based on how they were treated by Christian colonists or missionaries. The problem is that this can veer right into ableist or queerphobic territory. You know who else believe that their religion shouldn't have to change with the times to accommodate people? Conservative Christians who hate being told to be affirming of LGBTQ people. Also, schools and parents/guardians do have a responsibility to accommodate kids with disabilities, mental health issues or trauma, even if it may be inconvenient or force you to bend the rules. Claiming they need to just suck it up is honestly disgusting.

This was all a big reason for why I left this garbage pit of a fandom. While there are some who hate the Jedi because they stan the empire or think people need 50s nuclear families to live fulfilling lives, not everyone does that. Believe it or not, some people have faced abuse and bigotry under Judaism and Buddhism. People can also criticize how Lucas presented their beliefs as some Buddhists think he didn't do a good job. Libsoftiktok is a vile transphobe, an Orthodox Jew and her beliefs are said to be fairly common in her community. Many people of color identify with the clones and dislike how even the nicer Jedi treated them. When Obi Wan told Anakin, "It's okay to have romantic feelings, but you must let them pass," that hits different for queer people who have been told similar things from "polite" homophobes. Some queer people do choose celibacy like Side B christians which is fine as long as they don't treat it as a moral failure to want a relationship. There are many neurodivergent people who don't like the Jedi beliefs as they hit close to home. Lucas may have not intended to come off as ableist but the Jedi did with their beliefs about negative emotions. To some people, platitudes like "just let go" aren't helpful and treating it as bad for not living up to those principles is gross.

I deleted the post, but a while back I made a post asking a popular pro jedi blogger their views on adoption since they claimed Anakin not viewing the Jedi as his "found family" was a moral failure. I found their response to be tone deaf and insulting. I responded in a decent way of course, but felt a bit judged and unhappy for wanting to know my birth mother. Adoptees are another set of people this fandom is insensitive and gross to. The Kenobi series I find insulting for that reason too, having Leia be a foil for Anakin and Obi Wan romanticize his recruitment as a child.

Jedi fans are also shitty to those with religious trauma and who faced abuse. Accusing anyone who criticizes the Jedi of projecting their issues with Christianity while simultaneously talking like conservatives as shown above. Tumblr in general has a weird habit of treating religion as if it’s either conservative evangelicalism, liberal reform Judaism and some vague pagan or eastern spirituality with little nuance. Some Jedi stans really come from a place of privilege. Claiming "they can just leave" is insulting to real religious abuse survivors who were raised with harmful beliefs like creationism or homophobia. I'm no antitheist but treating non christian religion as inherently progressive dismisses a lot of people's experiences.

Let's be real, the writing in this franchise was always a bit sloppy. Lucas's issue was wanting to simultaneously create both a black-and-white morality tale for kids based on the fairy tales and serials he grew up and a deep socio-political commentary about the Vietnam and Iraq wars which required some morally grey themes. Thus, along with his terrible dialogue that made the characters seem unlikable, is why the fandom is so divided over whether he intended people to agree with the prequel Jedi.

To wrap this up, I found the pro jedi fandom to be a terrible experience. It was a mix of faux progressivism mixed with fear of judgement for disagreeing. I ended up editing a post I made, and eventually deleted, comparing Yoda with Garnet from SU because I included a tiny bit of criticism and didn't want to get backlash. As long as it’s not gross or bigoted criticism of your favorite characters isn't the end of the world. People don't have to like George Lucas or his beliefs and put them on a pedestal. I feel like the fandom's worship of George comes in response to OT purists who claimed he "raped their childhoods" but there's fair criticism to be made. Just like how not everyone who criticizes Disney SW or any Disney media in general is an "anti woke" grifter. To the pro jedi fans reading this, here's a suggestion. Just block and ignore people, write an essay if you feel it's important, but don't act like an entitled bully if a blog or even a SW writer disagrees with the Jedi, interprets the story differently or criticizes your favorite characters.

Rewatched OWK and compared Reva and Osha/Mae – these characters and their actresses met hatred based on racism. Personally I can say I liked Reva and disliked Osha/Mae. And it has much to do with acting.

Frankly, I don’t understand why this rabid dislike of Reva? Moses Ingram is a good actress and her character is consistent in her motivations and actions. She has certain presence on-screen and interesting character development. It’s not her problem that she didn’t meet expectations of fanboys who wanted flashy lightsaber fights with no substance. On the contrary, Amandla Stenberg’s acting is atrocious – I didn’t see her in any other projects, but in ‘The Acolyte’ she was outright weak. She maintains the same blank expression through most of the scenes – in her both roles. There’s no difference between Osha and Mae – same mannerisms, same mimics, same general aura. Yes, the script was awful, and the directing is evidently lacking, but a really talented actor/actress can pull it off at least partially – like Lee Jung-jae or Manny Jacinto. Even while given less time and less depth of the characters, Charlie Barnett and Dafne Keen weren’t this level of bland and emotionless.

It doesn’t matter if Stenberg is non-binary or black, I have an impression that she’s just not that great of an actress to manage playing two complicated (in theory) characters at once. So the opinions about her bleak acting are justified, IMO.

[short-wooloo]

"Shin is simply a better character than Reva"

HOW!?

She has barely any characterization!

8 episodes and we know nothing about her!

And don't give me that "well 2nd season" crap! She's apparently a major character, we shouldn't have to wait 2-3 years for a second season to learn anything about her!

[thecleverqueer]

I’ve mentioned this before, but it bares repeating because it really bothers me…

Why can’t Obi-Wan and Ahsoka see Anakin and Vader as one person? Like, the cognitive dissonance of it all… and they do see Anakin and Vader as two separate people… somehow.

I THOUGHT Ahsoka got it. I thought she’d finally accepted that, but no… she’s still on her bullshit.

Your master was an asshole. A harbinger of doom. He damned the Galaxy. He performed multiple genocides, and personally slaughtered children. He did stand by you for a minute, yes, but ultimately, he attempted to murder you and would have if you didn’t have a god-bird that coaxed force sensitive teenagers into a space/ time portal to bail your ass out.

Maybe we need to stage an intervention between Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and the Tuskin Raiders so that they can tell their story. Oh. Right, they’re still dead.

[fanfictasia]

Thoughts on what Vader wanted with Obi-Wan in OWK

(For all Obi-Wan series haters, this isn’t for you.)

I had really high expectations for the Obi-Wan Series and they were all surpassed. It always felt to me that something was missing between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, because what Vader and Obi-Wan were saying to each other never really fit together, but I couldn’t figure out why. When Vader said “Obi-Wan once thought as you do” in Return of the Jedi, I could never figure out what he was talking about.

But the Obi-Wan series answered all my questions, especially on what Vader feels towards Obi-Wan.

I’ve seen a lot of people assuming Vader was trying to kill Obi-Wan, and some complaining about how Vader wasn’t being portrayed properly because he was being “stupid” sometimes when he should have realistically killed Obi-Wan. For some reason they’re automatically assuming that because Vader killed him in A New Hope, that means that’s what he always wanted to do.

The third episode showed very obviously that Vader does **not** want Obi-Wan dead. He could easily have killed him the fight if he wanted, or let him die in the fire, but he didn’t.

Vader very clearly wanted him alive. He put out that fire almost immediately and told the troopers to bring Obi-Wan to him. He told him “your pain is just beginning” so yeah, he obviously didn’t want him dead.

Repeatedly Vader talks about “destroying “ Obi-Wan and “breaking” him. That’s what Sith say when they want to make someone Fall.

Everything Vader is doing after that very much implies the same, too.

When Obi-Wan said “I will do what I must” implying that it was going to be a fight to the death, the way Vader was standing very much implied he was not happy. There were numerous points in their duel that Vader was clearly holding back, another obvious sign that he did **not** want to kill him.

He said “but you are still weak” which is how Sith always refer to the Light Side, before he threw him in that pit, and started burying him. Vader knows Obi-Wan well enough to know there’s no way he was going to die from that.

But doing that **did** work in making Obi-Wan very angry, and close to (if not actually) drawing on the Dark Side. Obi-Wan was drawing on his attachments to get out of that situation, and that is very Dark Side. Jedi are always supposed to be calm, and definitely never draw on their attachments to give them power.

Vader said that he killed Anakin, the same way he will “destroy” Obi-Wan. There’s nothing that can mean except that he wanted to turn him. That was how Vader “destroyed” Anakin, after all.

And from there, it’s pretty easy to see why Sidious was acting how he was in that final scene with Vader. He asked him if he was sure his feelings on the matter were clear, the exact same thing he asked Vader when he was obsessing over finding and turning Luke.

And he said “perhaps your feelings for your old master have left you weakened.” And that means he obviously knew that Vader still cared about Obi-Wan. Even if you could argue that he partly wanted to turn Obi-Wan out of revenge, it was also clearly for a similar reason that he did with Luke. As far as Sith are concerned, that’s kind of a Dark Side form of affection, after all. xD At least Vader’s when it comes to his family. So yeah, of course Sidious was very unhappy about that.

That much is obvious anyway from Vader calling for Obi-Wan at the end when he left him again. I’ve seen some people claim he was “screaming his name out of hatred” and by the way, that literally makes no sense. There was so absolutely no hatred in his tone. He sounded **broken**. If that were true, why didn’t he say “Kenobi?” Also WHO WASTES THEIR BREATH SCREAMING IN HATRED WHEN THEY CAN HARDLY BREATH?

And of course after Vader had to immediately tell Sidious that “Kenobi means nothing” and stop looking for him if he didn’t want to face the consequences.

That pretty much answers why Vader killed Obi-Wan in A New Hope. He knew he couldn’t turn Obi-Wan anymore and he knew when they met again, one of them was going to come out dead. From Vader’s point of view, Obi-Wan already made it abundantly clear that he didn’t consider Vader even worth his time enough to kill.

And for the record, I think it was just plain too painful for him watch Obi-Wan walk away for a third time.

The Obi-Wan Series also really explains why Vader seemed more numb and resigned when they fought each other in A New Hope, instead of angry, which just doesn’t seem very likely if this is the first time they’ve seen each other since Mustafar. That never made sense to me, even before. In the end, Vader did try to escape Sidious, so he went to the only other person he could fathom calling master, and we all know how that turned out. No wonder he seemed so robotic and just blinding following orders by ANH. He didn’t have any hopes beyond Sidious, until he heard about Luke again, and that “spark” you could say, of resistance, was back again.

Hoping and praying that the whole whitewashed ass batch dies and Disney actually lets the clones look like Temuera Morrison

[kyliafanfiction]

The thing is, Andor may be great.

But since the people praising it to the skies are the same people who thought Kenobi sucked, their taste in media is very suspect, at least in terms of us liking similar things.

[short-wooloo]

Y'know, this also explains why certain folk looooove ahsoka but hate Kenobi

It's the same thing as what I talked about in my post on why some people are so rabid about their hatred for Reva

They're stanakins

Kenobi is a show that calls Anakin the fuck out, it's blunt about who Anakin is and what he's done, the major characters of the show (Obi-Wan, Reva, Leia) are all people who have/will have been hurt by him or been a firsthand witness to Anakin's atrocities

Kenobi doesn't pull its punches, the show doesn't deny that Anakin was once good, but it makes it clear that he is not anymore

Ahsoka does not do that, it desperately skirts around the ugliness

Look I'm not necessarily saying there's a super deep meaning to this, but the Ahsoka show is one of the first ones at this point NOT to have an Order 66 flashback in it somewhere. The Kenobi show obviously had several, TBB started the entire thing on Order 66, Grogu's flashbacks first happened in TBOBF and then made their way into The Mandalorian later as well, and even Jedi: Fallen Order had an entire Order 66 sequence.

I know Ahsoka obviously had her own Order 66 two parter back in TCW season 7, but the fact that this was a show centered on a Jedi who survived Order 66 and is one of the first to actually NEVER touch on Order 66 feels notable.

Ahsoka is dealing with her feelings about Anakin and that betrayal and they showed us the SIEGE OF MANDALORE, but not Order 66 and her struggle to survive on the ship and the realization that the clones were mind controlled and the devastation of having to bury everyone they could find? How is that NOT relevant to the discussion at hand and the things she is feeling? What was the point of showing the Siege of Mandalore when Anakin isn't even AT that battle and has nothing to do with it and the only relevance it had was "You're a soldier now" which would be just as true in some of her battles on the venator during Order 66, except that the reason she's fighting for her life is because Anakin made a choice that explicitly put her in danger.

Like I said, I don't know that it got left out FOR A REASON in one of the shows it would've been most relevant to show it in, but it does feel like it leaves a very noticeable absence.

☆ about me ☆

hii, i’m bells!

thought it was about time i made an introduction.

i’m 21, a capricorn sun, leo moon, cancer rising (astrology freak), my ethnicity is a little complicated but i’ll put it as half british and half portuguese. i can speak english and portuguese fluently and have a half-decent grasp of spanish. i’ve lived in the uk for most of my life. sexuality: no labels.

i’d say i’m new to tumblr as this is the first time in my life i’m actually using it regularly, i think I’ve got the hang of it now. i feel so at home on here and i love having new mutuals hehe. feel free to message about literally anything (save me from the “singles in your area looking for-” dms, i beg).

☆ interests ☆

i love writing and reading, fanfic, music and film, generally just immersing myself in other worlds tbh. kisses to pinterest, ao3 and wattpad. tumblr now too i guess.

seemingly never ending harry potter obsession. marauders era, hogwarts legacy era, etc. slytherin girly. i was part of hptok at its peak in like 2020/2021, my page was basically dedicated to it. it was so much fun.

also star wars, specifically the hayden christensen trilogy, but i love the ogs too and i thinkmy favourite spin-offs are the mandalorian and obi-wan kenobi. if i ever get married it will be at lake como, idc how many times it's been done. i was at one of the filming locations last summer (theed palace) and almost crying like a little biatch.

i like video games too (mostly play on switch), but i’m very picky when it comes to finding ones i actually like, then I will rack up hours on it like there's no tomorrow… we love hyperfixation over here. love love love stardew valley, animal crossing and games along those lines but atm i’ve been doing my rounds on the resident evil games (re2 og, re4 remake, re6, down bad for leon kennedy) and also hogwarts legacy, i’ve finished most of it, i just have to complete my field guide now (desperately want to replay for the sebastian quests, also the new mod stuff is so cool!).

music wise, i listen to lots of different stuff, constantly go through phases, but for my all timers, aka can quote their discography from start to finish, i’d probably say lana del rey, radiohead, the weeknd and nirvana. recently it’s been lots of david bowie, queen, beabadoobee, portishead, fleetwood mac, the beatles… i could go on.

always open to recommendations for songs, playlists, films, series, games, books, fanfics, or anything, i love it all.

☆ onto the topic of shifting... ☆

i am happy to announce i am free from the shackles of “shift-tok”. if yk, yk. 

i’ll take this as a chance to ask nicely for any antis to please, please, not interact from here on out. thank you.

so, i initially found out about shifting on hptok 2020 (huge surprise ik) and so obviously i wanted to go to hogwarts. like??

needless to say i got caught up in all the tiktok misinformation, blatant lies, complicated asf methods, self explanatory. sorry younger-me. i could explain more but all in all i was too impatient and clueless, didn't really know what i was doing at all, eventually got bored, busy with school, and assumed everyone was lying (a few were, it seems).

 i completely forgot about it all after that until i came across a shifting post on reddit a few weeks ago. my tiktok fyp started filling with shifting/manifestation videos too right after. i was coincidentally in between a rewatch of the harry potter films at this point too. you know where this is going. i started seeing tiktoks from smaller creators just answering people’s questions about shifting, and it was all so different from all the stuff i’d heard years ago, spoken about in a completely different way, which just made so much sense to me and was so intriguing. i decided to delve into it all once again. it was those same creators who also would mention tumblr, and i, who had just joined tumblr for writing related stuff not long ago, decided to start searching up things related to shifting.

 i eventually came across some great accounts and information, stories of experiences, motivation, help. i started reading “journeys out of the body” by robert monroe too, so interesting, btw, and have since began my own shifting/exploring consciousness journey (i try to be careful what words i use for things, for lots of reasons, and i understand everyone might use different terms, reminder that i haven’t been on here for that long). it’s been amazing so far. 

(i may have straight up searched shifting realities on google the other day. curiosity got the best of me. it was bad. don’t do it.)

to not mislead anyone, no, i haven’t actually had a full experience in my specific “dr” yet. however it’s only been a small amount of time and i’ve already had lots of different types of sensations and experiences that i’ve never had before and it’s all so beautiful and interesting to me. i definitely view things a lot differently than i did before. i have shiftblr to thank for it.

i adore finding new shifter blogs and reading everything on them, so if i’m giving stalker behaviour it just means i’m loving your stuff or you're all over my feed. 

idk what i’m even going to post about yet, if or when i do. maybe i’ll write a bit into my “journey” so far, any experiences or how and what i do to get into certain states, about my dr, or stuff i’m just nerdy about in general. 

fyi just because i write does not mean i will always use any grammatical skills at all when writing for blog. sorry ;)

if you ever have any questions i’ll love you forever i will answer as best as i can.

this wasn’t all that exciting but i just wanted a little intro because i’m always blank on my socials. 

 thanks for reading !!

THE MAIDEN AND THE DROWNING BOY is a House of the Dragon canon divergent fix-it trilogy with a HEA. Meshing both show and book canon, the story asks the question: How do you stop the cycles of abuse and generational trauma? In this universe, Aegon marries the youngest daughter of Lyonel Strong, the Lady Abrogail, who has grown up alongside him and his siblings. The story begins with the run up to their marriage in 125 AC, and follows Aegon and Abrogail as they figure out who they are and who they are together in the Riverlands, along with Aemond and Helaena in King's Landing, and to the dawn of the Dance of Dragons. Except the ending of the song is different this time.

pairings: aegon ii targaryen x oc, eventual jacaerys x helaena, other canon ships mentioned, other pairings to be announced warnings: suicidal ideation, sexual shame and purity pushing, canon typical violence, canon typical attitudes, unpacking of previously stated sexual shame/purity for both male and female characters

This is not an anti/pro team black or green fic. I continue to do my best to approach all sides with nuance. There will be no bashing, nor will I accept any in the comments.

I don’t understand people shitting on ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ and ‘The Book of Boba Fett’. Loved both series. I found them quite exciting – both were interesting (rewatched recently), lovely character development, good acting. I don’t even have a lot of qualms with the plots. Yes, probably pacing should’ve been better, but in general – very positive impression from both series. Unlike from ‘Ahsoka’ when absolutely fine characters from previous projects become unlikable as people (looking at Ahsoka ‘attachments are ok and Jedi kinda suck, only I’m perfect’ Tano and Sabine ‘fuck everything and everyone – I nullify Ezra’s sacrifice, and also I act like an insolent moody teenager at my 30s’ Wren), and as a whole, I found ‘Ahsoka’ boring. ‘The Acolyte’ – notorious for disjointed actions, flip-flopping motivations and shitting on previously established almost 45-year-old canon.

‘OWK’ features authentic Star Wars atmosphere. It was captivating to follow Obi-Wan’s change, same as Reva’s and Leia’s. I was touched by the moment with Darth Vader’s broken mask when we see Anakin’s face peeking out of it and his voice teetering on edge of Anakin’s natural and Vader’s mechanical, showing that we shouldn’t distinguish these two (as Disney loves now) – they’re one. Almost shed a tear at Jedi symbol scribblings on walls – representation that for lots of common citizens Jedi are still a symbol of hope (that, as we know, will come). Owen and Beru, Bail and Breha – caring and loving parents for their respective nephew and daughter. Obi-Wan coming back from his depression and finding hope again, relieving his heart of burden of smth that wasn’t his fault. Agrh, lovely.

‘TBOBF’ shares Star-Wars’y Tatooinian atmosphere with ‘OWK’ – except episodes of ‘The Mandalorian’. Frankly, I felt put off by a sudden change in color scheme – from warm sandy to cold metallic (ep.5-6). I really think the creatives should have focused on Boba alone – tell more about his relationships with his new associates and with the town citizens, could’ve touched slavery problem (if he did anything with it, I’d love if he did), how he holds his business. Also instead of following Mando (who has his own series!!!) I’d enjoy talking more about Boba’s past, his relationship with his father’s legacy and how he feels about leaving it behind, if he identifies himself as a Mandalorian or a Tusken or his own thing, how he feels about his clone ancestry… Lots of interesting themes to explore. I loved his character development, I adore that he’s not depicted as this heartless hunter from the books. Also he should’ve been given more agency in his ruling (the bigger part is done by Fennec). But still – I rewatch his episodes with pleasure.

Summary: By an old Republic law, all members of the Jedi High Council are senators in the Galactic Senate, and can thus be voted in as chancellor. A Senator from a less prominent planet has had enough of Chancellor Palpatine's incompetence and calls for a Vote of No-Confidence and the installation of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. This one action becomes the catalyst that changes the direction of the galaxy. (or: “Obi-Wan’s Life Gets Worse. Though It’s Not As Bad As It Could’ve Been”.

131k words, rated T, still in progress!

https://archiveofourown.org/series/1266236

I highly recommend everyone read this and give @stonefreeak some love, the fic is so hilarious and emotional and just really really good!

You can find a more detailed (and highly spoilery!!) summary below the cut.

I don't have a tag list for Star Wars content yet - lmk if you want to be pinged when I post more! I regularly share fic recs and occasionally write some shorter fics myself as well.

More Star Wars Recs By Me • My Star Wars

~~~ continue reading ~~~

I always write summaries to wips and stuff I want to continue reading some other time, so I won't struggle with mixing up fics and half-remembered plotlines... Because this one is so long, I've run out of summary space on my bookmark, so I thought I'd transfer it to this post!

If you're also starting to read it and might not finish it in one go, or want to keep up with future updates, I recommend y'all's save this post so you can check what you already know :D

Ft: many characters, and written in different POVs

From Canon: Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padmé, Ahsoka, Bail, Mace, Yoda, Vokara, Quinlan, Dooku, Palpatine, probably others too

Ha'han-ash: the new vice chancellor working with Obi-Wan

Senator Mandai: from a pacifist species that can't be influenced by the Force, the one who called the vote of no confidence on Palpatine

La: killer & friend of the assassin Palpatine murdered, works with Quinlan to figure out who killed her

Part 1:

Shortfic, <1k, G, no warnings apply

POV Padawan Anakin Skywalker

Anakin has a nightmare about red and rage and betrayal and crawls into Obi-Wan's bed even though he thinks he's too old for this and worries Obi-Wan will refuse him. He feels safe with Obi-Wan.

Part 2:

2k ficlet, rated T, no warnings apply

POV Obi-Wan during the Clone wars

Anti clone sentiment is widespread during the Clone Wars

Jedi still take 'regular' missions next to their duties as Generals, if it's urgent enough at least

During a mission to save slave kids during the clone wars, there is a bomb threat, and it ends with Obi-Wan being photographed topless and saving two young children (he gave most of his clothes to the kids), and turns into a sexyman holonet sensation! Anakin and Ahsoka think it's hilarious. Obi-Wan just wants to forget all about it.

Part 3:

128k WIP, rated T, Graphic Violence

POV Alternating

Clone Wars + canon-divergent future

Chapter 1-20

A senator (Mandai) from a species that can't be influenced by the force calls for:

- a vote of no confidence on Palpatine

- to install a neutral Chancellor: Master Kenobi

Both pass. Obi-Wan feels horrible about it all and the sudden changes and new responsibilities, but he'll do his duty and try his best to weed out corruption and end the war.

~

Obi-Wan then starts an investigation into Palpatine. Anakin is mad but can't deny the findings.

Ten worlds rejoin the republic.

There are several attempts on Obi-Wan's life.

~

The Chancellor's rooms have several strange and possibly sithly artifacts. Obi-Wan remembers Dooku talking about the Sith in the Senate.

Palpatine POV we can see him seeking Obi-Wan's death.

Dooku has discarded Palpatine as no longer useful.

C21-40

Palpatine turns Anakin against OW by making him think OW is neglecting the war by staying on Coruscant.

~

OW finds altered Jedi mission briefings in Palpatine's files, often altered to request OW specifically. The Jedi investigate. Bail and Padmé and handmaiden Ellé help by looking for the originals.

Palpatine is mad. "Out of the ten star systems that are working to rejoin the Republic, 4 of them are from missions Palpatine himself set up for Kenobi to go on; out of the 135 worlds that set off the Vote of No-Confidence, 56 were worlds Kenobi might never have visited if Palpatine hadn’t altered the mission specifications."

~

Obi-Wan is exhausted. Cody, Yoda and others are worried about him and look after him, forcing him to take some time to rest and sleep.

~

Senators are not used to Jedi chancellors who can't get bribed. He (anonymously so he can't refuse them) gets a lot of plants.

~

Anakin learns from Padmé that Obi-Wan has been deliberately kept from him and sent on dangerous missions, and has a panic attack.

OW and Anakin talk it all out.

Anakin keeps the investigation from Palpatine despite still trusting him and thinking someone else must be behind it.

C41-60

The Jedi High Council doesn't schedule anything on days Obi-Wan is supposed to attend council sessions so he at least gets a free day from time to time

~

Palpatine hires new assassins, they're supposed to make it look like OW is just collateral.

The bomb nearly kills him, his clone guard and several senators, does kill two senators, but OW protects those closest to him from the blast. He is impaled by debris and hears force ghost Qui-Gon while waiting for help to arrive, telling him to hang in there. He's taken to the healing halls in critical state.

Anakin is given the choice to continue his mission or return to coruscant. He chooses to go home, for Ahsoka, despite thinking it might be a test that he is failing.

Someone tries to have Palpatine reinstated as Chancellor while OW is out of commission, but it fails.

Dooku has feelings about Obi-Wan almost dying that he'd rather not have.

Palpatine killed the hired assassin after the bombing, but she managed to shoot and injured him as well as send a distress signal. Quinlan, undercover as a bounty hunter, investigates with one of the assassin's friends, La, who figures out that he's a jedi.

They find the body and Quinlan figures out the Sith Lord killed her.

C61-70

Quinlan and La think they can identify the Sith Lord by the nanobots from the assassin's gun if they just happen to come across him.

~

Palpatine does some voodoo doll style blood magic on OWK to kill him from afar while he's still in medical.

Vocara Che (with Rig Neema, Plo Koon, Yoda, Mace Windu) fights against the darkness and saves him.

Palpatine plans Order 66.

Anakin is shocked that Master Che lives together and seems to be dating Knight Rig and that Mace is friends with them.

~

The Jedi realize Anakin's padawanship was sabotaged through more than just OW being sent away, his therapist was probably murdered on a mission when he was 12.

Padme realizes Palpatine has been manipulating her and Anakin for a long time.

Padme loved Anakin but thinks they never should have married, hates the need for secrecy.

~

Obi-Wan wakes.

C71-80

Obi-Wan recovers and goes back to work.

Senators are being investigated and arrested.

Palpatine talks Anakin into believing that a dictatorship would be better than democracy because of the slow bureaucracy in the Senate.

~

Plo Koon reports that the forces of the CIS seem to struggle without (Palpatine's) Intel about strategies of the Republic. Obi-Wan suspects Palpatine as the former spy but doesn't yet tell the council as he has no proof yet.

Obi-Wan tells Shaak Tii to investigate the Clone Chips.

~

"Dooku snarls at the latest news. Slowly but surely his hold of the separatist worlds is slipping. Many have already left, and once the Republic proved that they would be reasonable during peace talks—there is no doubt in Dooku’s mind that that is entirely because of Kenobi—even more saw it as their chance to return to an improved Republic. The winds are shifting, the trajectory of the corrupt Republic is changing, unjust laws are being brought back to the Senate floor and retracted. Somehow... Somehow Obi-Wan Kenobi has managed to turn the Republic from a cesspool of corruption to a place that is slowly but surely starting to try and drag itself out of the mud."

Dooku also has nostalgic feelings about Qui-Gon, wishes he could see how far Obi-Wan has made it.

Obi-Wan meanwhile wonders whether there is still a chance to get Dooku to return to the light and the Republic.

C81+

Charges against Palpatine and Mas Amedda will go to court.
