Star Wars headcanons that just ✨make sense✨ PART 3!

IT’S HERE Y’ALL!!! I’m doing another one because I have an ~obsession~ 🙃

It takes Rex a really long time to make the transition from calling Anakin by only “Sir” or “General” to his actual name. He’s a creature of habit and Cody finds it adorable.

Cody on the other hand easily made the switch to calling Obi-Wan and the other Jedi by their names.

Obi-Wan has two left feet. Not many people actually know this. Obi-Wan hates this about himself and is really embarrassed about it but Lionel finds it endearing

Rex has ✨freckles✨ and they’re absolutely precious

Fives and Echo would both do anything to hear an embarrassing story about Anakin or Rex. Lionel has plenty of examples for the former and is a little too eager to share them

I think about Padmé and swimming so fucking much it’s actually my Roman Empire. She has a swimmer’s build, not skinny at all, she’s all muscle under those flowy dresses and is very strong for her size. Anakin thinks this is incredibly hot.

Ken-Té gives T’a’ffi little kisses between his montrals. Once the Forbidden Triad adopted Toza, ‘Té started doing the same to her 🥹

Lionel started off as the tallest of the OG Chaos Trio, and ended up the shortest. They are not happy about this at all.

Ahsoka and Rex are FUCKING 👏 BESTIES 👏 and no one can convince me otherwise. They absolutely confide in each other about their respective crushes - something they won’t talk about with ANYONE else (for good reason ofc, but you get my point, their level of trust is that high)

Cody can make pretty much any outfit work, the man is ✨GORGEOUS✨ in everything and he knows it

Lionel and Obi-Wan have five Tookas

Ahsoka not only got taller after Barriss left her but she also got a hell of a lot stronger too. The transition from seeing ‘Soka as a relatively skinny girl about the same height as her to a 6’4” New Order Jedi built like a brick shithouse gave Barriss whiplash but in the best way possible, she LOVED IT

I headcanon that Togrutas in general are just built tall and muscular, T’a’ffi would absolutely be considered a Bear🏳️‍🌈 if he was human

It was actually Obi who wanted to have kids first, meanwhile Nelli was the hesitant one - they’d spent most of their childhood looking after their little siblings so they were understandably looking for a break from that responsibility

Cody and Padmé both had Lionel and Obi-Wan figured out before even they themselves realized that the pining was mutual. Padmé would seek out Cody during any events Obi-Wan was invited to and gossip about it with him when Obi wasn’t looking

Obi-Wan is a giggly mess when he’s drunk and it’s fucking adorable

After joining Anakin’s Order and becoming a Knight, Ahsoka took on a young Mirialan named Ralaince as a Padawan because they reminded her of Barriss 🥺

Once the war ended, Cody and Rex travelled the galaxy together for a bit, just experiencing the beauty of each planet they visited without worrying about the next battle that would destroy all of it. It was very cathartic and healing for both of them

Anakin chose to wear dark colored robes because he has mild sensory issues and lighter colors kind of hurt his eyes in direct sunlight. Also burgundy is his favourite color 😊

When she became Supreme Chancellor of the Republic, Padmé founded a program to help properly educate the children of the Lower Levels of Coruscant and to mitigate the extreme poverty of the Coruscant Underworld. Lionel cried of joy when they learned of this.

Lionel occasionally gets phantom shocks as a side effect Palpatine’s Force Lightning attack. They also startle more easily than they used to, experience near-constant tremors, are much more sensitive to touch, and occasionally seem to have mildly psychic premonitions, despite still testing negative for Force-sensitivity

Barriss sometimes uses Ahsoka’s lekku as pillows

Lionel insisted on doing a photoshoot when Benjamina and Jinn both got their lightsabers

Obi-Wan has always loved the name Ben/Benjamin - thus, when they had their first child, Lionel modified the name to Benjamina so they could use it for their baby girl

Rex and Ahsoka do the Star Wars universe’s equivalent of Tik Tok dances. They’re both really good at them

I went on a tiny bit of a rant not too long ago (read: like 20 minutes ago) about Echo having vitiligo and I stand by that, I like it, it’s going in the headcanon folder

I’ve talked about Anakin being autistic but that headcanon fits for Cody to me as well. Also Obi-Wan

Anakin also has ADHD

I know in canon the little marks on Mirialan’s faces are called “tattoos” but I like to think of them as freckles because the idea of diamond shaped freckles is kind of adorable to me 🥹

Anakin and Padmé do the fruit-floating thing they did in AOTC every time they have breakfast alone together

Ken-Té is Anakin’s favourite person to do lightsaber training with and continues to practice with him even after he left the Order

In which Han-bisexual-Solo tries flirting with the entire Junior Chaos Trio, and is largely unsuccessful

[sammys-magical-au]

Leia, jealous of how much time Luke spends with Din even though she has Han: WHAT, IS THE BOUNTY HUNTER HIS NEW BEST FRIEND NOW?!

Ben: not gonna get into whatever’s happening there-

Han, wrestling Grogu: IT’S BITING ME! IT’S BITING ME CHEWIE!!

Ben: or THAT-

[sammys-magical-au]

Leia: I love you!

Han: I know.

Luke: Din, I love you.

Din: I love you too.

Ben: what is goING ON??! GUYS?!?!

[sammys-magical-au]

Din: I need advice on how to ask this boy out-

Han: I got it! Roses are red, violets are blue, p.s. my bed has room for two!

Din: OH MY GOD NO-

Ben, singing loudly: TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR, WE CAN DO IT IN A CAR!

Din: STOP IT!

[sammys-magical-au]

Ben, to Leia: I don’t understand what’s up with you and Luke and BOYS. I don’t get it, what’s so great about them? What’re you acting crazy for? I-

Ben: *sees Lando, a boy who is also a girl*

Ben: … shit.

[sammys-magical-au]

Obi-Wan: sometimes I feel like a failure.

Lionel: what?? Don’t be ridiculous, Sugar! You’re a powerful Jedi, a Grandmaster of the New Order, you turned your first Padawan back from the Dark Side and your second is on the path to being a member of the Council as well, and your third is already a great and formidable warrior at 14 years old, plus, you have two children who are both strong in the Force thanks to your encouragement of their abilities, and a beautiful young spouse who just brought you your favourite pastries. You’re far from a failure.

Obi-Wan: I’m not sure if I count 40 as “young���-

Lionel: I’m 39, Obi-Wan. Let’s be clear on that. 39.

[sammys-magical-au]

*the kids exploring Palpatine’s old abandoned office at the senate building, which has just been sealed off and left untouched for years*

Ben, poking Palpatine’s skull with her lightsaber: so we find this fucking skull here. It has a FULL set of teeth.

Leia: and Luke here-

Ben, pointing her lightsaber at Luke: and this dumbass goes; “yA tHinK iT’s A bIrD?!?!”

[sammys-magical-au]

Han: so which one of you is older?

Luke: we’re twins, it doesn’t really-

Leia: it’s me.

Luke: SHUT UP LEIA THERE’S BARELY TWO MINUTES BETWEEN US-

Ben: see what you’ve done, flyboy?

[sammys-magical-au]

Luke: would you slap your best friend for a million dollars?

Ben: I would roundhouse kick you in the face for nothing.

Luke, tearing up: I’m your best friend?

Random Star Wars headcanons that just ✨make sense✨ - PART 2!

Bc I’ve thought up MORE since the last post!! And to be honest, I’ll probably have more STILL after this one! I AM MENTALLY UNWELL!!!!

Anakin is probably one of the weirdest people to sleep next to. Anyone who’s slept in the same room with him knows this. Not only does he sleeptalk during Force dreams (he says some pretty cryptic shit when that happens) and occasionally thrash around like he’s fighting for his life, but he usually sleeps with his blanket pulled up over his head and his feet sticking out at the bottom. Mans sleeps like a corpse in the morgue. It is, quite honestly, rather disturbing to see. Obi-Wan nearly had a heart attack the first time he went to wake Anakin up and saw him sleeping like that.

Lionel is a nickname person, and usually likes to come up with their own nicknames for people (hence they call Anakin “Kenni” instead of “Ani”), thus they started calling Padmé “Paddi”, which she found somewhat annoying at first (even more so when Anakin started teasingly calling her that as well) but later found more endearing. Nel has an entire plethora of nicknames for Obi-Wan, ranging from easily explainable ones like “Obi” or “Sugar”, to ones that absolutely no one wants to know the reasoning behind.

Additionally, Lionel has a few other nicknames for Anakin that they use occasionally. “Desert-Boy” is a go-to, for obvious reasons, and “Grumpy” or “Pouty-Pants” is reserved for whenever Anakin makes That Face (you know the one)

Since I established in the last post that Padmé sleeptalks, and I mentioned earlier that Anakin does as well, I’m imagining how hilarious it would be if they did it at the same time. Anakin mumbles something like “T̵h̶e̵ ̶s̶k̴y̷ ̷s̶h̵a̷l̷l̸ ̸s̶p̵l̴i̵t̸ ̶i̷n̶ ̵t̷w̴o̷ ̸a̴n̶d̸ ̵t̶e̵a̶r̶s̷ ̶o̷f̶ ̶b̴l̵o̷o̷d̷ ̸w̴i̵l̷l̵ ̴r̶a̴i̶n̴ ̵u̸p̶o̷n̸ ̶u̶s̷ ̵a̵l̴l̷” and then Padmé will respond like “I dunno, I’ll have to check my schedule to see if I’m free that day. I’ll let you know tomorrow”. Meanwhile Lionel, who was woken up by their talking, is absolutely dying trying not to wake them (or Obi-Wan) up with their laughter, and probably recording it to show Ahsoka and Barriss later.

Less of a headcanon and more of a fact I guess? In part two of my au (Fifteen Years, coming soon-ish, probably, hopefully), Luke and Leia are 14, Ben is 12, Han is 16 and Din is 17. Not sure what age I’d have Grogu being at this point since it’d be set in a different time period, but let’s say he’s at least 30 (bc that’s still a baby for his species)

Din found Grogu a lot earlier in this au as well and still had the Dad Instict take over immediately. Upon meeting Ben & the twins’ parents he shamelessly tells these Actual Adults that Grogu is his son and they’re all like “you’re not even 18 yet????”. I’m envisioning Young Din being a lot like Ballister with Nimona - you’d think he’s a lot older than he is based on looks and how he acts but in reality he’s barely an adult at all and his child is actually older than him by several decades.

And speaking of meeting the twins’ parents; I know some people think Anakin would ironically love Din immediately (as opposed to not liking Han), but I personally don’t think he’d be overly thrilled over Luke’s first real boyfriend either. He definitely warms up to Din a lot faster, but he’s the kinda dad who believes NO ONE is good enough for his daughter OR his son, however Din’s “I love you too, Luke” beats Han’s “I know” any day 🤣

Ahsoka is incredibly affectionate with Barriss. For the first few months after rescuing her and sorting out all their issues, she was practically glued to Barriss at all times. Everyone else thought this was absolutely adorable. Barriss still doesn’t know how to feel about it and gets incredibly flustered whenever Ahsoka acts that way around her (read: all the damn time).

I mentioned in the last post that Lionel and Obi didn’t initially like Han either but then backpedaled with another post bc I realized Lionel would actually more likely warm up to Han pretty fast, and now I think Lionel would absolutely take over as Young Han’s parent and end up roping Obi-Wan into it whether he likes it or not. At first Han is like “I don’t need a damn parental figure” but eventually leans into it and lets himself be loved by this incredibly weird little family that has Claimed him as theirs.

By the way Ben would absolutely love having Han as an adopted older brother. So she can torment him ofc.

Also Ben is the shortest of all the kiddos, by a lot. Makes sense because she’s the youngest but even compared to Luke and Leia there’s still an incredible height difference. The twins sort of got evened out with Anakin’s Tol Genes vs Padmé’s Smol Genes, meanwhile Ben got stuck with Nel and Obi being pretty much the same height and despite both of them being “average” she still ended up Tiny. She is not happy about this at all.

I intend to write a short fic about this one in particular, since it never really got sorted out in TLOLS, but I would imagine Lionel wouldn’t really care that much about Anakin’s whole “not just the men but the women and the children too” thing. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t condone brutally murdering an entire population, but they admittedly have less of a moral compass than Anakin and would be like “well they tortured your mother to the brink of death and then left her to succumb to her injuries so valid tbh, I’d do the same if they did that to my mom” and Anakin would be like “I murdered fucking all of them??? Even the ones that weren’t involved at all??????” and Lionel goes like

“What do you want me to do? You know I’m down for murder anytime, how’s this different?” “NEL.”

I can’t remember how much detail I went into on the last headcanon post, but I’m too lazy to check. I know for sure I talked about Padmé being a good swimmer & loving the water, and may have mentioned Anakin not liking water much (?), but I came up with the Even More Hilarious Idea of Padmé being the only one out of herself, Ani, Nel, and Obi-Wan who actually enjoys swimming, while the other three all have a fear of water to some extent. I’m imagining Padmé in the water near the Varykino Lake House like “come in! It’s lovely :)” and Anakin, Lionel, and Obi-Wan all huddled on the shore like “… No.”

Ahsoka on the other hand would probably dive right in headfirst, no second thoughts about it, like “HELL YEAH WE NEVER HAD OCEANS ON CORUSCANT!!!” and Barriss glances up from the book she’s reading in a beach chair several feet away (bc she too wouldn’t dare go near the water) like “Ahsoka, this is a lake, not an ocean” and Ahsoka just shouts “EVEN BETTER!!!!!”

Although I can see Ahsoka eventually coaxing Barriss into the water in one way or another - meaning: picking Barriss up and making her sit on her shoulders as she wades in until the water touches Barriss’ toes and she straight up screeches like a banshee. Long story short, Barriss was not amused by this idea and Ahsoka learned her lesson about how NOT to get her girlfriend into the water the hard way.

The one thing Ahsoka regretted about not rescuing Barriss sooner was that she didn’t get to see the twins and Ben as babies. However she made up for this by showing Barriss the hundreds - perhaps thousands - of pictures she took of them as babies, bc well, the girl has permanent baby fever and loves kids, and she loves her nieces and nephew with her whole heart. Barriss just sits there with a wonderfully contented smile and says nothing as Ahsoka rambles on about each and every photo, meanwhile Luke, Leia, and Ben are all yelling “AUNTIE SOKA, YOU’RE EMBARRASSING US!!!”

Oh, and the first time Barriss got referred to as “Auntie Barriss” by the kids, she cried. Hysterically. She was literally so happy that these kids saw her as family. Ahsoka had no idea what to do about it so she just ran around wringing her hands and asking what’s wrong meanwhile Barriss Cannot Speak from crying of joy. 🥺

Ben, on the verge of tears: Dad, am I ugly?

Obi-Wan: what nonsense! I’m looking at you right now, you’re the most beautiful girl in the world!

Anakin, barging into the room: Obi-Wan, am I ugly?

Obi-Wan, not even batting an eyelash: very much

[sammys-magical-au]

Han: what the hell is that?

Luke, holding Grogu: it’s a baby we found in the trash.

Han: well put it back, it doesn’t belong to you.

Ben: we’re not gonna put it back!

Han: well give it to the Hutts, get it outta here, it’s bad for business!

[sammys-magical-au]

Luke: Uncle Obi!!! Ben called me the B-word!!!!

Ben: “motherfucker” doesn’t start with a B.

[sammys-magical-au]

It’s 7 pm so that means it’s time for fluffy Star Wars au thoughts :3

The twins & Ben have started lightsaber training and so Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka are having them practice via small face-offs with each other in the rolling hills and fields of Naboo.

Leia is absolutely dominating the competition and Ben isn’t far behind her, and seeing that Luke is getting a little discouraged (since Ani would do anything for his little boy), Anakin asks him and Ben to step out for a moment before taking their place and demonstrating a few strategies Luke could use to gain the upper hand.

Ben, being the little instigator she is, immediately starts taunting Anakin and saying her dad could do way better, to which Anakin smirks at Obi-Wan and says “oh, could he? Let’s put that theory to the test, then.”

Ahsoka tries to remind Anakin that they’re supposed to be training the kids, but Obi-Wan has already silently stood up from the grass and Anakin’s smirk has grown into that signature taunting grin so at this point Ahsoka knows it’s already pointless. Obi-Wan politely asks Leia to sit back down for a minute so he and her father can show them what a lightsaber battle really looks like, and Leia just rolls her eyes dramatically, already so fed up with her dad and uncle’s bullshit.

Anakin and Obi-Wan’s so-called “practice” duel starts to get pretty intense, and the kids are starting to get a little nervous the two might hurt each other, but one look at Ahsoka’s face is enough to ease their minds. Meanwhile Anakin and Obi-Wan are reliving the days back on Coruscant, training in the Jedi Temple, giving it their all while being careful not to hurt each other (even though it looks like they’re trying to kill each other).

But then suddenly Anakin charges at Obi-Wan and slams into him a little harder than he meant to, Obi-Wan loses his footing and Anakin’s momentum causes them both to go tumbling through the grass.

Now Ahsoka is genuinely worried that one of them might be hurt, and immediately jumps up to make sure they’re alright with the kids following her, only for them to discover that both Anakin and Obi-Wan are lying in the grass, completely unharmed and laughing so hard they’re in tears over how stupid what just happened was (and just because they’re both happy to be alive and safe).

Ahsoka just stares at them for a moment before smiling and shaking her head at their antics, while the kids are scrambling over them as they’re still concerned about whether or not they’re alright.

Let’s just say training ended early that day, and there was a lot of explaining that had to be done to Padmé and Lionel about grass-stained robes…

[sammys-magical-au]

Leia: Han… I love you.

Han: … I know…

Ben, randomly popping up on the other side of the room: WOW.

Leia, whipping around faster than Anakin when someone mentions sand: BEN!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!

Jinn, popping up beside Ben: we followed you guys. Duh.

Leia: well we didn’t WANT to be followed!

Jinn: why? You guys makin’ out?

Leia: SHUT UP JINN.

Ben: can we go back to the fact that Han just responded to a love confession with “I know”?

Jinn: well it’s not like Renny and Papa were open with their feelings as soon as this, but… that was grim.

Leia: BOTH OF YOU. OUT. NOW.

Ben: why? What are you doing that we can’t be here for?

Leia: BENJAMINA.

Jinn: ooh, she used your full name. Too bad she’s not our parent.

Leia: I will tell Uncle Obi-Wan and Auncle Nelli that you two followed us here if you don’t leave right now, I’m serious.

Ben: but they know we’re on Bespin. They’re here with us. They brought us here to look for you guys.

Leia: *infuriated silence*

Jinn: should we have led with that?

Ben: nah. It’s funnier this way.
