The Protégé Chapter 32: Different Designs

Vader leaves, so naturally everything important happens at once.

It was in the middle of typing out the notice he was going to send Seralina—and a secret one on the side, that he intended to send Ananya now his comlink was mysteriously able to reach her—that he stood up. He'd been sitting for hours. He desperately needed to stretch his legs and had a pounding headache. There must have been something nasty in his food that morning as well; his stomach was contorted into knots, like when there was a sandstorm about to blow in.

His mother's living room was just across the hall. It was always kept cool and comfortable, and it was calming just wandering around between the chairs. The air was faintly scented with orange blossoms, which made him feel at home. Helped clear his head.

He sat down on one of the sofas and lay back, feeling the tension drain from his shoulders. How was he supposed to word this message? There was so much to say, to assure her of—

Someone approached and opened the door. Their mind was too shielded to be a servant.

Luke's eyes flew open and flashed to the door. The screen that hid the cloak rack from the rest of the room hid the intruder, but two white, humming beams of light illuminated their silhouette. They were tall, much taller than Luke, with two montrals.

He stood up. The person tilted their head back and stepped around the screen, scanning the room until their eyes landed on Luke. They smiled.

Luke said, "Ashla?"

I love "Ahsoka raises the Skywalker twins" AUs, so I had to make one of my own ofc.

Ahsoka promises Padmé she'll look after the kids, and raise young Leia and Luke on her own.

To everyone that doesn't know better, she's Ashla, who is looking after her late (adopted) brother's children.

Lemme know if you want more of this AU lemme know, idk if I'll share more abt it or not 🤷‍♀️

Table of Contents - >

(10 and 11 years after Return of the Jedi)

           Ashla stared numbly out the transparisteel glass of the Millennium Falcon as Nyx jumped the ship into hyperspace. It was strange to be back on this ship, but it felt good to be somewhere familiar again. She knew better than to be worried about her mom now, but she was tired of feeling guilty that her mom had to save her sorry butt. As if Ahsoka didn’t have enough to worry about, now she was causing her more trouble. One of these days she was going to get her killed, and that scared her. She bit her lip and glanced over at her uncle that she hadn’t seen for fifteen years. She’d been so lost in thought, she didn’t realize he was studying her. “What?”

​            “Nothing…” he looked away, brushing his long dark hair out of his eyes. He looked thinner than she remembered, and paler. Was he still drinking so much?

​            “Thank you for picking me up,” she said nervously, expecting him to be angry that he’d had to get involved with her again. She had no idea how her mom had found him and gotten here so fast, but she was grateful. “I don’t mean to cause you trouble.” He sighed and leaned his head back against the chair.

​            “You aren’t trouble, Ashla,” he murmured, closing his eyes. She wanted to ask him why that wasn’t what it felt like sometimes, but maybe it was better to let it go. She couldn’t remember the last time he was this quiet and not upset about something. She wondered what had changed since the last time she’d seen him. They’d kept in touch over the years, but not a lot was said about where they were or what they were doing. So the conversations were brief and sporadic. She’d missed him, despite knowing that he’d probably been happy to be rid of her after dropping her off at the enclave. “I’m sorry,” he said after awhile. “I should have taken better care of you.”

​            “Uncle Nyx…” tears welled up in her eyes and she hopped up to hug him. “You did take good care of me. I didn’t understand it before, but I do now. You were scared, and after what I’ve seen, I understand why.”

​            “But it was my job as your guardian to protect you and I didn’t,” he patted her awkwardly on the arm and she let go. She’d forgotten he wasn’t as openly affectionate as Rex had been. 

​            “You can’t blame yourself.”

​            “But I do.” He stared at his feet. “When your mother showed up on my doorstep, I liked her right away. She gave me a hard time, pressuring me into letting her stay while I got beat up by thugs looking for some money I owed them. I don’t remember what all happened, but when I came to, they were gone and Ahsoka was standing over me offering to help me up. I never did figure out how she got rid of them, since there weren’t any cops nearby, but I was too grateful to care. After seeing the way she fought that guy back there, well… I guess I finally have an answer. Now I feel pretty foolish for all my rants to her about how much I hated Jedi. Without her help, I think my business would have tanked. She pulled me out of a bad place, kept debt collectors off my back and helped out around the shop. I was nervous about the future when she told me she was pregnant, I had no idea what to expect. Dealing with kids was not my forte. She was so patient with me, she let me help take care of you even though I wasn’t your father and I guess I fell in love with you a bit quicker than I wanted to admit to anyone.” He fell silent for awhile. She kept hoping he’d continue, but he didn’t.

​            “My mom said that even though leaving me behind was the hardest choice she ever had to make, she trusted you,” she smiled reassuringly at him. 

​            “I don’t know why. I badmouthed her old life, I badmouthed your father, I even badmouthed her…” 

          She reached out and squeezed his hand. “Jedi can sense things. She knew that in your heart you were a good person and that you’d take care of me as if I were your own, and you did.” She tried to sit back down but felt something inside her and she almost missed the seat. “Whoa.”

          “Are you alright?” he asked as she hunched back against the seat.

          “Yeah, I'm just tired." She stared straight ahead wondering if it meant what she thought it did. She shook it off, she'd been through a lot today and frankly, she didn't trust her senses right now. She hoped she’d be able to trust them again after what happened with Starkiller. "Nyx?”

          “Hmm?”

          “What changed? Why are you suddenly so… uh… nice?” She blushed realizing that probably wasn’t how she should have asked him what was going through his mind.

          “I guess I’m turning into an old softie,” he smirked at her and looked away.

          “Seriously, what gives? You’re acting weird.” She rolled her eyes.

          “Something your mother said before she jumped out…” she held her breath wondering if he’d actually tell her what that was.

          “Well? What?” she begged him to continue.

          “All these years I’ve stupidly believed that I’d gotten stuck raising you when that wasn’t at all what I thought I wanted to do. I resented her for the trouble it caused me. Meanwhile, she’d been wishing it was her that had you. That she’d gotten to be the one there and not me. The ironic part, I suppose… was that if your mother had been interested in being with me, I would have helped raise you anyways.” He looked up at her and she watched him curiously. “I don’t think she ever wanted me like that, mind you, but I kept hoping maybe she would if she saw what I did for you. Then seeing her again, wowee… it took my breath away.” His eyes widened, and he looked at her. “Don’t tell her I said that. I shouldn’t have said that.” He leapt to his feet and left the cockpit mumbling to himself and she stared after him confused. 

          She shook her head, smiling. So that was the main reason he’d put up with her for so long? He was still madly in love with her mother. It didn’t really surprise her to learn that. Everyone she’d ever talked to that had known her mother was enamored by her. And why shouldn’t they be? She was amazing! She was powerful, strong, soft, kind, brilliant... Ezra had admired her. Rex respected her and would do anything for her. Chewbacca had cared for her. Her father, who’d married a queen, had fallen in love with her. Ahsoka was just that type of person; you couldn’t help but love her. 

          She glanced down at her belly. She wasn't sure how she felt about sensing she could be pregnant. She thought she'd loved Galen. They'd definitely had chemistry, but after finding out who he really was... the idea that she was carrying his child made her nervous. She wanted to be a mother, at least she'd known for sure she did after making that deal with her own mom years ago. This was not how she’d imagined it, but maybe now that her mom was back from wherever she'd gone for so long, maybe they could finally be together. Maybe her mom would help her raise it. Although she hoped Ahsoka wouldn't be disappointed to find out Starkiller was the father. 

          Thinking about her mom reminded her that she’d just left her to fend for herself with dozens of crazy acolytes closing in around her and Starkiller intent on killing her. She tipped her head back, reaching into the force. “Mom? Are you still there?”

          “Of course, I am, love.” Ashla smiled the moment her mom’s voice came through. “It takes more than a raging maniac to bring me down. You should know that by now.”

          “I do, I do,” she laughed. Her mom sounded lighter, but still so serious. Like she knew something Ashla didn't. She didn’t know enough to understand the whole weight of what Starkiller had been trying to do to her, but the way her mom had reacted when she’d said they had dad’s helmet… Her mom had reacted in fear. It had crashed through her so strongly it had startled her. She’d never felt her mother afraid before. If she had been, she’d hid it well. Her mom had always known what to do, what to say. She seemed so sure of herself all the time, and Ashla wanted nothing more than to live up to that; to become that confident.

          So if her mother was afraid of this, she was too. This was bigger than she thought. She stared out the transparisteel glass and tried to relax, but a deep sense of foreboding settled inside her. They’d dismantled the Empire before, they could face this threat too, right?

 ---

          "I need to, uh, meditate," Luke looked away nervously after Leia went to check on her son. Ahsoka watched him tiredly for a moment but didn't move. Seeing him in person after so long was strange. He was almost a spitting image of Anakin, but she could see Padmé’s softness in him. Life and responsibility had been thrust at him with such force it was amazing he was standing so strongly in the light. This was the child that had tipped the balance in his father and brought him back to her. If only he knew how much that meant to her. Maybe someday she would tell him. Or maybe not. Well Padmé, your children turned out just fine. I think you’d be proud. I just wish after what we’ve all been through, that things were getting better not worse. I promise I’ll try to help them as best I can.

          "Master Yoda. Master Kenobi. Anakin… If you're there, we need a word," she said aloud, crossing her arms in front of her.

          "Oh right... I forgot you… wait..." Luke didn't get to finish his thought as the three force ghosts appeared in the room.

          "It's good to see you again, Ahsoka."

          "I wish it was under better circumstances," she brushed off Obi wan's words, not in the mood for false pleasantries. She paced back and forth as she recited everything she possibly could about what she'd learned on Taris, without of course, mentioning that Ashla was her daughter. She tried to ignore the way Anakin watched her carefully. The others were distracted by the words she'd said, but he’d always been in tune with more than that. He knew something else troubled her and she wasn't ready to say what.

          Once they were deep in conversation about the information she'd delivered, she slipped out and made her way to her daughter's room. She sat down on the bed and dropped her face in her hands, sighing deeply. It wasn't long before she felt Anakin join her. She should have known he'd follow her here. Didn’t he have bigger things to worry about? This was about his family after all.

          "I sense there's something else that's bothering you about this." He sat next to her on the bed.

          "That's because there is," she sighed again. She was too tired to cry now, she just felt numb. Why couldn't the dark side stop needing to rule the galaxy for five minutes?

          "Talk to me, Snips." He reached for her hand and she let him take it. At least the flicker of electricity she felt gave her hope she wasn't too far gone.

          "Starkiller said that they were trying to resurrect Darth Vader. I don't know if that's possible, but I have a feeling that if they manage it, you're not going to come back to life as this. You'll be something twisted and dark; and possibly worse than before. I can't lose you again, Anakin. My heart can't take it. I'm getting too old for this." She wished she could lean her head down on his shoulder or fold herself in his arms, but even though he sometimes felt solid, she knew she'd only go right through him. Which would be considerably less satisfying. She was capable of curling up in a ball all by herself, doing it with him there would only exaggerate the pain.

          "You won't lose me, Ahsoka."

          "You don't know that.” She threw her other hand up in frustration. “I'm tired of fighting. It's all I've ever done. Every time I think I could lay down my lightsabers and walk away, something else happens."

          "You don't have to get involved in it. This isn’t your fight. You've warned Leia, you've warned Luke. Let them worry about it now. You've done more than anyone can ask of you," he smiled reassuringly at her, but he didn't understand. He didn't know the whole truth. It wasn't that simple. Their fight was her fight, because she had a daughter that also belonged to him. They might not be her blood, but they were still her family in a way.

          "I can't stop, Anakin. I have too much to fight for."

          "This is about more than losing me, isn't it?" He tipped her chin back.

          "Yes."

          "Tell me."

          "I can't, Anakin. Someday I will, I promise, but I'm not ready yet." Her eyes burned with the millions of tears she'd already shed over this. Why couldn't she just tell him about their daughter? Why did she hold it back now? She had nothing to lose... and yet, it felt like she had everything to lose...

          "Ahsoka..." he was interrupted by Luke's call from the hallway.

          "Dad?"

          "Go, your son needs you," she breathed, gesturing to the door.

          "What about you?" he looked back at her sadly.

          "I'll be okay." At least she hoped she would be. He hesitated a moment longer and then left her sitting there alone. Ashla was safe; she was with Nyx. She was out of Starkiller's grasp. She'd be okay now. But she'd just found out her daughter was pregnant, and it felt like history was repeating itself. Only this time around, it was far worse than before, and somehow the stakes felt so much higher.

          She scoured the room for any of Ashla's belongings she'd left behind, put them in her bag and left Devoran behind her. It was time to confer with Morai and learn everything she possibly could about these acolytes. Morai had told her something very disturbing on Taris; she wasn't the only one that had escaped Mortis in a new form. Her brother; the Son... Ren… was still alive, and he might be the one behind all this. Which meant, this wasn't just a small-time cult with delusions of grandeur. It was a far bigger threat than any of them were ready to face. He'd had far too many years to build it before being discovered. Why hadn’t she connected the dots before?

 ---

             “What’s the matter?” Ashla studied the faraway look her uncle got as he held her newborn child. The fallen walker they’d made home in the middle of the desert on Jakku was… well it would do for now. It was private. It was far from everything, and after the Empire’s horrible defeat here, it was the last place anybody would think to look for them. Hopefully…

           “Nothing. I was just remembering what it was like to hold you for the first time. I delivered you too, you know. It’s come full circle I guess,” he smiled at her and brushed his jet-black hair back out of his eyes.

           “You delivered me?” she laughed, sitting up on the bed. She wished her mom was here right now, but as usual Ahsoka had far more pressing matters to attend to. She wondered how Luke was doing. If they’d been able to help Ben. Her mom had told her not to worry about it, but she did. For the second time she’d been taken away from her brother; her family. Just when she’d thought things were finally looking up. She’d locked away her mother’s lightsabers and sworn that she wasn’t going to do anything that could draw attention to them here. But if this child ended up being a force user, she wanted it to learn too. She’d have to worry about that when it got older.

           “Well obviously I didn’t do the work, but I caught you when you came out. Don’t sound so surprised!” Nyx had chosen to stay with her for awhile after they’d found this place. She was grateful to not be alone. He’d changed a lot in fifteen years. He didn’t drink anymore, but he still liked to gamble too much. She got the impression that he was trying to make it up to her mother for all the years he’d resented her. She didn’t care why he stayed, she was just glad he did. He came around and handed the little girl to her. “So, what are you going to name it?”

           She was instantly in love with the infant in her arms. She thought about what her mom had said about how she got her own name. Then she remembered what Ezra had said to her; about how she lit up the room like her mother, and for the first time, she fully understood how something so amazing and good could be born of darkness; as though the sun had finally peeked out from behind the clouds. She smiled, unable to hold in the joy she felt. “Rey. Her name is Rey.”

Epilogue - >

[ayyponine]

I had the chance to borrow some star wars books and these are some highlights of that

[exceptionally-minded]

I deduced that my followers enjoy the ramblings of loquacious bibliophiles, so I've decided to share my live-tweeted Kenobi III reactions here instead of my personal blog. Spoiler warning should be obvious.

I'm still very focused on how Reva / Moses' character will be treated and am happy to see Vader respecting Reva in Vader's way.

"How does the Force work" "not like that" feels like a reference to Ep. 7 "That's not how the Force works!" - Han

Obi-Wan describing it as turning on the light is a beautiful visual and honestly reminds me to meditate more often.

I also keep recalling portions of text from Clone Wars: Wild Space and would like to again recommend that literature.

I don't mind the voiceovers from previous films but if it continues much longer I will feel it's a bit... indulgent

Mapuzo hasn't been mentioned before which I conclude from its limited Wookiepedia chronicling - edit - it was apparently mentioned in a game.

Obi's hallucination of ROTS Ani reminds me of Ezra's visions of Maul.  How sweet for Leia to ground Obi - it echoes of the "sins of the father" question that haunts ROTJ.

Reva is the smartest and most awesome Inquisitor. Why is everyone still sleeping on that. Oh yeah, because the Empire is inherently corrupt and doesn't actually value talent.  Just loyalty.

"Father, aren't you going to say hello?"

Ewan: DOES NOT SAY HELLO THERE

Obi sitting in his same spot on a transport in his same robes doing his same arm pose... he "cannot help what he is."

SOMETIMES WHEN I LOOK AT LUMA I SEE HER MOTHERS FACE

NO NO NO NO I CANT CRY ALREADY THEY CANT DO THIS ITS OUTRAGOUS ITS UNFAIR

Ahhhh Leia's wondering about her parents - first of all, she's SO STRONG with the Force - second of all, what wonderful foreshadowing for the Star Wars: Bloodlines novel.

Leia and Obi-Wan can already communicate with each other through glances.  I like how she is confident that he is trustworthy even though she still knows he's not being completely honest with her.  An interesting distinction, to be sure.

A friend pointed out last night that they did a great job not spoiling her role here.  The trailer made it look like it would be all about Luke and thus far it is NOT and I am NOT complaining.  MORE LEIA

20:02 I need a gif of Tech saying "Oh good, a probe droid."

Action hero Obi-Wan has entered the chat!!! The dramatic head raise.  Deadeye shot.  SO Uncivilised.

The way she runs toward him in her little green Endor-foreshadowing jacket like a human Grogu to Mando

Knowing Aurebesh is such a problem because now I have to pause this all the kriffing time...

Leia introducing herself to the droid and introducing her droid to the droid because droids ARE life forms and obviously her parents would because blah blah blah you already know. 

"You're not the first Jedi to come through here" EXCUSE ME MA'AM IM ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT

Jedi Order symbol scratched onto the wall Leia and Lola are looking at.  Cant really make out the Aurebesh name because its so scratchy... wait, wait, I've got a signal coming in... LR_E.  Best I've got.  Was really hoping for a major easter egg like "Ashla."

Oh kriff there's actually a ton of names... I don't have time for this, someone else on the internet can do it

I SPOKE TOO SOON!!! QUINLAN KRIFFING VOS YES YES YES PLEASE GET MY GUY BACK INTO LIVE ACTION!!!!

This droid's lower limbs look like clone armor from the back..

Oh no, I was right... again.  You know that shot from the trailer that we thought was an armored clone's butt?  Yeah it was the loader droid from the safehouse 😦 Damn I am so disappointed right now.

Shit I didn't think we'd see Vader so soon.  Can you imagine how CONFUSING it would be for Obi?  Like wtf IS THAT

Ooh I did not miss how Reva was startled by Vader's callousness toward the civvies.

Echoing in my head: Vader's "I sense a presence... once I haven't felt since...." from Ep IV

When Jedi say "I'll be right behind you" they literally NEVER MEAN THAT.  See: Kanan Jarrus, etc.

Okay very interested to see how they're going to manage the transition between Ep 3 and Ep 4 lightsaber duel style.

I recall on Mustafar that Obi-Wan KNEW Anakin was his equal, so he utilized Anakin's hubris against him by manipulating him to make stupid decisions, coaxing him onto dangerous platforms, even - I know - the high ground.  And I'm seeing that here too, he's looking around his environment for an advantage, whereas Vader is just stalking him down.

Oh no, Obi-Wan released some fog for Vader to walk through.  Anakin just haaaaaaaates that 😉

"I am what you made me" ugh, I mean, I expected that, but that's pathetic.  Own your mistakes, Anakin.  You're angry with yourself.

Damn that was brutal, not like it was unexpected but good gracious I could not watch the fire scene.  Tala is great but their escape was too easy.  Droid is great.  Reva supremacy.  The end.  Can't wait for next week.  QUINLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I didn’t know I needed this until I saw it.

That’s a lie. I’ve known all along.

A few days later on the Slave 1:

Boba Fett: Hey Din, there’s some twink on the holo messager for you.

Din: The Jedi? Is something wrong? Is he sick? Is he misbehaving? Are you having trouble getting him to sleep? The trick is...

Luke: No, he’s fine. It’s just, with all the confusion and emotion, we forgot to exchange contact information. I thought you’d like regular reports on his progress. You’re lucky I was able to...

Din: You mean, we can keep in touch? I can keep being part of his life?

Luke: Of course, did you think... Oh no! I’m so sorry! I thought you knew. No wonder you were so devastated. I feel so bad now. No, you can totally keep in touch. In fact, he’s been asking to call you since the day you parted. We can set up a regular schedule if you want.

Din: But, the first Jedi we found said his attatchment to me was a bad thing.

Luke: Yeah, my Master tried to tell me that too and I disobeyed him directly. But then I went on to save the galaxy and he let an evil empire grow under his nose, so... wait, did you say you found another Jedi?

Din: ... I see... *sniffle* excuse me one moment. *runs off to cry in private*

Boba Fett: ... We literally just got him to stop crying.

Luke: My apologies. I should have been more clear.

Boba: ... Don’t I know you from somewhere?

Luke: .... 😰uh... when Grogu’s dad coming back?

Prologue from my Rexsoka!AU Star Wars original trilogy (Ahsoka POV)

Imagine Ahsoka being Luke Skywalker's nanny

After escaping an Inquisitor of the Empire, Ahsoka went into hiding on Tatooine in 18 B.Y. under the name of Ashla.

While looking for a job, she saved Beru Lars from scoundrels on the streets of Mos Eisley.

For thanking Ahsoka for rescuing her, Beru offered her a job which consists of being a nanny for a only child while her and her husband Owen Lars go to work on their farm. Beru explained to Ahsoka she was originally in town for finding someone who is willing to accept to take care of their nephew during the day.

She also precises to the torgruta she will also have a home for rent next to theirs.

Ahsoka stayed at the Lars' residence for a few days before coming to a decision about Beru's offer for the job.

Of course she met the child in question and (by the force !) she was awestruck and anxious about that peculiar situation.

She was considering leaving the planet because of her memories of her missing master Anakin Skywalker.

But she finally changed her mind and decided to stay watching over little Luke Skywalker.

Because that was Anakin would have wanted for Luke, to be watched over and be protected by her Snips.

Ahsoka will feel unconditional love for her "nephew".

"Koh-toh-yah, little Luke."

"Koh-toh-yah, Ashla."

During the first years of Luke's childhood, Ahsoka became a motherly figure (besides Beru) to him. She played with him; teached him mechanics, reading and some culture about the galaxy and the species which inhabit it.

She also lectured him some wisdom from her experiences about being a Jedi and after being expelled from the Temple.

But, she did not mention being a former jedi to Luke. She will tell him later when he'll be old enough.

Ahsoka was always around when Luke was hurt or had some injuries, she will wipe his tears away, kiss his bruises and also hug him and telling him he is safe.

Every night before going to bed, Ahsoka will tell little Luke bedtime stories. Especially about the Clone Wars, his father Anakin and Captain Rex (without really mentioning the past war - or rarely, the angsty and its bloody details).

Once - wanting to playing heroes like the bedtimes stories Ahsoka told him, he found in her Ashla home a helmet ( he did not know it belonged to Captain Rex).

The helmet was Ahsoka's only remembrance of Rex after he disappeared.

Luke decided to borrow it for playing.

When Ahsoka saw him with Rex's helmet, she started to crying.

Luke has immediately apologized to her, he never wanted to disappoint her. He also started having tears.

Instead of being upset, Ahsoka hugged little Luke and told him stories about the owner of the helmet. About her captain, her best friend and her hero.

She sometimes dreams about Rex (or was she also having visions about him?).

Is he still alive ?

It's happened to Ahsoka travelling to another planet for personal affairs. She always came back on Tatooine with souvenirs for Luke.

Once, she brought him a kyber cristal from Lothal (which many years later, Luke will use it for his own lightsaber).

She learnt during her travels the truth about Anakin's fate and about Obi-Wan surviving Order 66.

After her discoveries, she will be determined more than ever to protecting Luke from Darth Vader but also from the Jedi training.

Until the day she'll meet again R2-D2 and C-3PO on Tatooine looking for Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Because the Rebellion needs help.

She learns that Princess Leia and Captain Rex are being hostages by the Empire.

Rex is alive ! He survived!

Be still my beating heart !

She feels her captain again in the Force.

Ahsoka, Luke, Obi-Wan, former and new friends will come to rescue Leia and Rex.

She secretly hopes Rex is okay and can wait to introduce her "nephew" to him.

Don't worry Rex, I'm coming to save you.

Imagine Rex being Princess Leia's captain and bodyguard : x

Kenobi general thoughts:

I don’t actually hate it. The show is just as I expected: average. One thing (possibly the only thing) I find refershing is finally some thematic costuming, for example, Leia’s colours in the first episode and Obi-wan’s evolving robes. The set design is rather lackluster given the congenital insufficiency of the Volume and a live-action TV budget. They don’t or can’t do that ‘(habitat) planet’ anymore and gives each one a unique landscape a la character. I suppose Daiyu had all the budget but a sufficiently-not-discount-Coscuant couldn’t excite me personally less (hometown pride).

Another thing to praise is they held back on the cameos. At least this time I feel all the callbacks actually make sense instead of just being Easter eggs. I guess with baby Luke and Leia and a entire show surrounding legacy characters you don’t really need to get more cameo-savvy. I love the Quinlan callback effectively coveys his fate and faith in dialogue over an appearance, sets an example for ‘em all. The choreography callback to the Mustafar duel references the same characters’ past— that's shown in the same season! instead of something to read in spinoff #16. Jabiim is disappointing, but kind enough of them to include, even just for symbolism. That said though, I bet a Hondo appearance will help with the criticism, and a minor Fulcrum/Ashla reference would be really niceb(pretty sure the Vader-Ahsoka lightsaber parallels aren’t intentional—oh wait they carbon-copied Twilight of the Apprentice).

The plot holes are very hard to ignore, but they did get the Anakin-Obi-wan relationship right. I’m glad that part of the fandom is fed. but you could almost argue Part IV is a waste in abandoning the trauma recovering in favour for an action-packed heist? I just feel like in struggling to balance between action (mainstream/casual fans) and emotion (meta/rcharacter fans), it fell short on both ends and left me wondering all the time, in every direction, it could’ve went further.

I maintain my judgement the story is better suited for a tigher-paced, higher-budget (in aliens! and set design!) film. Either way the auidence will have less reflex time to drag at your plot holes.

My verdict is, it is a very niche show. Those who’d like it will love it and those that hate it despise it. Mean enough, you can call it a fanfic. But then all these ideas about Obi-wan’s guilt and Anakin’s obsession and what not, aren’t they already explored, if not better, in fanfiction? Isn’t it old news to the supposed target audience? In that sense I don’t see how exceptional the execution of this show is save for Ewan and Hayden’s performance and ‘canonictiy’. But as long as they are happy, I’m not complaining. I’m not as invested in these two characters so I need more time for it to sink in.

This once again sparks the question looming over modern Star Wars: Who do you create for, and How to tell a story already bookended?

okay while i may defend most of the criticisms against the season 2 finale,,,,, just why did din take his helmet off in front of everyone??? like i get doing it in front of grogu, they’re a clan of two, father & son (as said by the armorer herself) but taking that helmet off with luke skywalker right in front din to the point he can see his face and moff gideon, cara dune, fennec shand , koska reeves, and bo kataan behind him?? couldn’t he just simply ask for a minute of privacy?? like i feel that would be more realistic for his character??

“could you please give us a minute”

they all leave and it’s just the two of them. they say their goodbyes, we can still get that heartfelt moment in the show, and then din puts his helmet back on and walks out to where everyone is and then gives grogu to luke like??? it could’ve been that easy and way much more in character

Rebels headcanon/fic I’m never gonna write am I

Hera wants Jacon to learn the way of the Force so he can feel close to his father, but she doesn't want him to learn the Jedi way coz it seams kinda problematic to her. Also she knew Luke as this cocky little pilot back in the rebellion and isn’t totally on board with just leaving her kid with him. 

(Also I think the idea of Luke failing to keep any students at his temple is just funny.)

I love the idea of Zeb being force sensitive, and I like to think that all Lasat are. It only really works if they’re happy though, so thats why Zeb was able to navigate the cluster with his families support, but lost his first fight with Kallus who really beat him down mentally before hand. 

So, Hera sends Jacon to Lira San so he can learn the way of the Ashla instead. She can focus on her New Republic duties and Jacon goes to live with his Uncle’s Zeb and Kallus. 

I just love learning all the different Jedi alternatives, and I think it would be cool to see a character who had fully trained in one. (Or maybe Cal Kestis and Merrin set up a temple in wild space and Jacon goes there) 

I’ve been working on this for ages, but I really need to bounce ideas off people and I’m struggling with some of the characters :(
