#best is if obiwan finds out it was Ahsoka

[tennessoui]

When playmaker!Ahsoka calls the cops on OWK after his lil murder, does she expect him to actually serve time in prison?

not at all I think that’s a miscalculation on ahsoka’s part! she wants him to feel scared and she wants to needle at him, so she places an anonymous tip, but she doesn’t think qui-gon would go through with a prison sentence because that’s his son…..but she just doesn’t know qui-gon jinn well enough it seems

….which all sort of backfires on her because she’s pretty worried that someone’s gonna trace the anonymous tip back to her and then who knows what anakin might do? nothing lenient or good that’s for sure

[cyaino]

Omg I pulled an all nighter reading your fic, it’s SO good!? I remember reading through the first chapter thinking how amazingly floored I was, then I was completely sucked in entirely. Oh the comforts of my bed, a day off from work/school, enjoying an amazing Star Wars fic is the best way to re-energize.

I love love this fic so so much: How you fleshed out different characters that I could tell apart their traits for who they are—you giving each character their own spot light to shine and balancing out their interactions with other characters��it makes the world feel more lived in and lively: Obiwan being a sweetheart, Ahsoka being her silly self, even making more OCs up with Emma!!!, etc., how there’s actual support for/from other women characters (makes me so sad whenever anakin fics paint Padmé as just an obstacle), the writing style is such a wonderful mix of gorgeous, serious tone settings and also humor (I can’t count how many times I giggled and kicked my feet with what transpired), and I just LOVE the first few chapters so much with the plot of language barrier. I think it’s such a compelling story arc where the characterization is only through physical movements and tone; forced to be in the same helpless state as the Reader being confused about the newness of it all—the misunderstandings, the desperation finding different methods to communicate, body language/facial expressions. SO SO GOOD!!! AND YOU STILL PORTRAYED THEM SO WELL!!!

The plot is so interesting too with how much mystery shrouds—I came up already with so many theories of why things are happening/how they’ll end (really hyping myself up for Anakin/Padmé/Reader endgame); I won’t add it though cause this ask is already so long/don’t wanna accidentally spoil newcomers T_T but I love when fics work out storylines in a multidimensional way with it’s varying complexities of “what is going on…”

Chpt 12 was so beautiful too with how you described the setting of the foliage and lighting, ooooh I am living within your fic!!

I can’t wait to see more of your future chapters and where you’ll lead the story—I’m so so excited (for more horrors Reader will face LMAO) 💗

Btw! Do you have any fav Star Wars x Reader fic recs (LOL recs autocorrected to Rex’s)

AAAAAA omg i had to read this like four times cos i kept getting flustered, thank you for such lovely long messages <3 I always come back to these when I'm feeling lost while writing

It's hard to talk about without spoiling because I have so much planned out already, but it's so cool to see reactions as things develop. i need to write faster so I can babble about things that haven't been revealed yet

I'm particularly excited to develop the love triangle (more of a web tbh) and see people's reactions.

I'm so happy that the mystery is coming across too! It's so hard to balance the right amount of clues without being too vague or too forward ;; This is my first multi chapter fic, so I'm learning as I go, but it's been a lot of fun :D

Unfortunately I haven't been in the fandom very long, so I don't have any recs but i'll try to post about them when I do !

Again thank youu, sorry I take forever to respond, I'm a busy-adhd-bee but i appreciate it so much <3

My unpopular HP opinions are

I don't like Fred or George and thought they were generally more mean than funny

Ginny Weasley is a better written female character than Luna or Hermione

Ron isn't a monster or this huge asshole fandom makes him out to be

My unpopular SW opinions

PT/ Clone Wars Era is far more interesting and better conflict than OT

Clone Wars show didn't "save Anakin". They just turned him into Han Solo 2.0. I don't even really like Padme in that show either.

I don't find Obiwan attractive

Padme outfits in episode 1 were ugly. Episode 2 is top tier for her outfits

Thank you for the ask.

I have to disagree with the Fred and George part. I'm a bit of a prankster myself. And I do find their mischief quite entertaining. However, there were definitely times were they took it too far. The most obvious example being when they transformed Ron's Teddy into a spider, or when they made him take an unbreakable vow.

Ginny certainly had the potential to be a better written character than Hermione and Luna. However, she didn't get enough time to shine, so I wouldn't give her that title.

Ron is not an asshole at all. I think he is a quite realistic and great character. Him leaving Harry and Hermione in DH and him being upset with Harry in GoF was probably the two only major negative things that he did. In a series of seven books, that is not a lot. Yes, the impact of it was quite extreme, since he was Harry's best friend. And the narrator is from Harry's POV. But he was shown to have a degree of realism that many of the other characters lacked. Ron had some severe flaws, and he made mistakes. Hermione didn't really do that to the same extent, which is probably why many feel like Ron doesn't deserve her. But people seem to forget that he tried sacrificing himself for Harry twice. One within a year of knowing him at the age of eleven. And that is just one of the many examples as to why Ron was a great friend.

TL;DR - He has flaws, but was ultiamtely a great friend and a realistic character.

As movies, OT was better. But the storyline in the Prequels are second to none. In my very biased opinion, I can't remember a trilogy in cinematic history with as great of a storyline as the PT. The worldbuilding was incredible. I know LOTR is a big contender for that title, and rightfully so, but I'm going to give the edge to PT. There are so many side-stories in the PT era, so many interesting characters. And the political game is just (chef kiss sound).

Anakin's character didn't need saving. He just needed to be shown at a time that literally wasn't in the running for the worst time in his life prior to his fall. In AOTC he is an emotional mess due to his nightmares of his mother. In ROTS he is an emotional mess due to his nightmares of his wife. In TCW he still grieved for Shmi, but the majority of the show showed him being happy, or as happy as someone could be under those circumstances. Padmé was the major factor for that. Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and Rex contributed to that as well. So, I wouldn't say it was a different character, like many says, I would simply call it a different time in his life.

As a 100% straight man, I have only one thing to say about Obi-Wan Kenobi: SMASH.

I'm not an expert on dresses or female fashion sense. But I do prefer her outfits in AOTC to TPM. But like the part about Anakin. It is two very different points in her life. I liked most of her casual wear in TPM. I'm not a huge fan of her formal wear. I wouldn't go as far as to call it ugly. But it wasn't pretty, in my honest opinion.

This was fun. Please send me more.

[merrysithmas]

If Anakin actually embraced his demigod-ness what would he actually do? Like if he’s not doing Jedi stuff or something similar is he just chilling on some Force God planet until something requires his intervention? 

LOL hmmm... eat space grapes off the vine? swim shirtless through the pools of time? practice his Form V as a constellation in the sky?? cause blackouts with his rage? storms with his sadness? drought with his despair? sunshine with his wonder? run his fingers through the ebony hair of the fates, picking out the strands of his loved one's lives and uncoiling them just to gaze...

but honestly! If we go by The Mortis arc in TCW, The Father firsts tests Anakin to see if he is truly the Chosen One. He forces Anakin into a situation where his children, The Daughter and Son (who represent the Light and Dark), threaten the lives of Obiwan and Ahsoka. The two people most important to him (and another tick against the idea that Anakin & Padme had 100% genuine selfless love for each other).

The Father threatens Anakin with the death of either Ahsoka or Obiwan, and asks him to choose which Child's rage he will control- the Dark or Light.

Anakin, unwilling to choose between the two he loves most, LITERALLY moves the stars and heavens above him, shifting the sky from night to day and back again and pulls on his divine power to subdue both the Light and Dark, freeing both Obi and Ahsoka. It is my favorite scene in all of Star Wars.

After witnessing this, the Father is convinced of Anakin's birthright. He begs Anakin to take his place on Mortis... saying that he is growing too old and weary to watch over and control his children anymore, and that they will be thrown out of balance without his guidance.

It is much like the scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when Indiana is met by the ancient knight in the sacred temple who offers him his sword, utterly grateful to be relieved of duty... seeing this new Knight appear to take up his place as guard of all that is good and just.

That is what Anakin's job is.

To enact his balance of will on the Force-plane, not the mortal plane where mortals are unfit for it - where they can die and suffer the wrath of the gods in immediate and horrifying ways.

Anakin, who is adamant the Chosen One is a myth (out of self protection), tells The Father he cannot abandon his friends and must leave Mortis. This action is very much akin to Luke's when he leaves Dagobah to save Leia and Han and Yoda warns him not to go. Anakin is terrified to leave the mortal realm, unwilling to take on the responsibility, and deeply attached to humanity. He loves them.

The Father warns Anakin that should he leave Mortis he will forever regret it for the remainder of his days.

This can also be seen as a vague allusion to the chaos that turns out to be Luke and Leia, and the ultimate hardships of their lives. Perhaps had Anakin taken up The Father on his offer, and had been able to wrangle the The Daughter and Son into submission and balance, acting as a sentry who understood both the Forces of Dark & Light and the mortals of the Galaxy, then Anakin's own son and daughter (who share his blood and thus his immortal inheritence) would have happier, easier lives and even joined him on Mortis.

In truth, I think Anakin would be miserable and lonely on the plane of the Force Gods. Just as he is miserable and lonely on the mortal plane.

The Force did torture and torment him as a creation. He can be neither happy or totally content in either place. His human heart longs for his mortal friends, and his god soul longs for higher purpose.

His truly is a tragic existence until he dies - where he can be in the afterlife, the magical Force Netherworld, with Obiwan. And we find out in TRoS Luke and Leia also become Force ghosts- and I like to believe Ahsoka, too, so all his children can be with him.

Which is to Anakin, finally the best of his both worlds.

But fr I picture Obiwan and Anakin in the force going on epic supernatural Quests and mulling over the fate of mortals with Anakin trolling people with visions and horrors to "test" their resolve and their preparation for their dark sides - taking on the role of the Ghost of Christmas Future but with far more trolling and he's like laughing to Obi-wan when he materializes home, Obi you should've seen his face when I showed up as his dead girlfriend...! or causing visions which swallow rotten people into the ground like the pits of Sith hells, causing them to wake in abject terror with an unseeable Anakin grinning over their beds wearing Force Sunglasses 😎

Ultimately, I think Anakin, as the Chosen One & master of the Dark Side in life, would take on the afterlife role of caring after and protecting those who are very strong in the light - he'd have a genuine affection for them and consider it his celestial duty to prepare them to face their Dark Sides in order to confront their balance, inner selves, and their capacity for destructive power. He'd want to protect them. That would be his primary patronage although he'd go about it in amusing and sometimes rather grim ways. He'd be very compassionate but brutal about it - a reflection of the extremes of his life, which is the source of his great wisdom.

As for Obi-wan I picture him tending a very cosmic garden planting strife for some, watering some happiness to bloom for others, watching well-deserved wishes take fruition as beautiful blossoming berries after many years of waiting for other certain souls... I picture him keeping a very endless, very eternal library with boundless tomes. Sitting in the sunlight, making careful notes in the margins of people's lives... little reminders or helpful suggestions, that turn up on the mortal plane as nagging feelings or sudden inspiration.

But ultimately they are in the Force having fun together and taking on missions in the Netherworld as they discover, even further, the unknowable reaches of the incredible Force.

Things Anakin would/wouldn’t do as a force ghost.

So I’m gonna go out on a lim here and say force ghosts can do stuff in the living world if it doesn’t affect or cause the future. Like he can knock a vase onto Hans foot but he can’t cause/end a war (because that’s op and what the holy shit?!?!)

Anyway, 1. He would never ever do anything that puts his children in harms way.

He’s been through a lot as Darth Vader, but that was ten years ago. He still won’t do anything that hurts Leia or Luke because (even though they love him) he did hurt them quite a bit through Vader.

Ok number 2! Cause. Chaos.

Ahsoka is back at the main New Republic (as in not at that planet, Din rescued her?) here she finds Rex and though his force ghost and her talked a lot on Corvus, now they plan to execute said ideals in the most chaotic way possible. Heheh ✨💥🧨

Task 3! Annoy Han and Leia and Din and Luke,

Anakin doesn’t exactly agree with Luke or Leias choices. (If you ship Mara x Luke, think of it has him dating… idk AN EX SITH?!?!?) (and if it’s SkySolo you’re after then think of it as sharing Han Solo and like- “he’s a smuggler Luke!!” “Was!!”)

If Han and Leia fight you best believe that he’s gonna take the side of his lil princess and possibly force-pull a chandelier on top of Han - or right in front of him so as to not kill him.

Din was a Mandalorian, literally trained to kill. What Anakin doesn’t know (or maybe a fact he simply chooses to ignore) is that Din would kriffing DIE for Luke, he loves him too much and would never ever let him down. But if Anakin finds them with his Dins hands on Lukes waist he’s either gonna:

A. Sigh and ignore them (unlikely babe.)

B. Or stand there until Luke gives him the metal middle finger and THEN (oh boy) THEN there’ll be HELL to pay!!

And Finally! 4

You best believe Anakins bisexual ass is gonna be spending time with both Obiwan and Padme, are either of them gonna know? Probably. He isn’t subtle.

[sirikenobi12]

Ok this became a whole damn book but please consider bearing with me lol.

I love Anakin Skywalker. He is possibly my favorite character in any story ever, I even relate to him a lot as someone who as bpd. People can make fun and use terms like "stanakin" and "uwukin" mockingly if they want - I AM a stanakin and I'm never gonna be ashamed of wholeheartedly loving my favorite characters. I don't always vibe with the greater Jedi fandom because of their condescending attitude towards Anakin fans - come on people, get excited about your faves and let people get excited about theirs! But I do love the Jedi themselves, all of them. The order, the council, the whole culture.

As an Anakin fan I think it kind of does his story a disservice to view the Jedi as hating him. Are there times when people in his life could have responded better to him? Yeah! No one is perfect. They could have been warmer in TPM and Yoda's advice in ROTS could have been better, and Anakin could have communicated more as an adult. But they undeniably cared about him and he about them. TCW gives us so much wonderful canon content to go on, but even if you look at just the movies though you can see that his relationship with the Jedi is mostly one of respect. Anakin doesn't always agree with the council, but he still respects them and looks up to them. The council recognizes that Anakin is reckless and emotional, but they also recognize that he's a skilled Jedi and general and they give him real responsibility because they trust he can handle it.

The only time not trusting him is ever discussed is in regards to Palpatine, who is he is close friends with. They can trust him as a person and still know it's best to not trust him in regards to this specific mission because it's too personal.

They didn't make him a Jedi Knight and give him a major responsibility as a leader in a galactic war because they hated him and didn't trust him. And this is still just the movies!

In TCW we see him using their first names and they let him which indicates closeness not formality, we see Anakin and Yoda banter and tease each other, we see freaking Mace Windu and Anakin banter! In one of my favorite early arcs of the show, the Holocron Heist/Children of the Force arc, we see Anakin meditating with Yoda, Mace, and ObiWan to find the children. Not another master or member of the council, but Anakin. Same for when Mace, ObiWan, and Anakin use a Jedi mind trick in unison shortly after that. They trust him for all of these things. They give him a padawan because they believe he's ready for it and that he and Ahsoka can learn from each other. Training another Jedi is a huge responsibility and one of the biggest indicators of how capable they view him. They compliment how Ahsoka grows under Anakin's teachings all the time.

Anakin loved being a Jedi and he loved the other Jedi. They loved him too. The problem was that he had so much rage and pain and trauma - and yeah, I think the Jedi could have helped more but I also know that to get help you have to open yourself which he couldn't do - and that Palpatine took advantage of it at every opportunity. He manipulated Anakin's insecurity and fears about not belonging or being good enough. He flat out lied to Anakin about the council multiple times (for example telling him they were furious about his rescue mission of Plo Koon when we literally saw that they were not). Palpatine fostered a resentment and divide between them that otherwise would not have been there.

I don't know if Anakin would have remained a Jedi or left to be with Padme openly, but without Palpatine's influence everything would have been different. Without Anakin Palpatine still would have had his plan for destroying the Jedi, but without Palpatine manipulations pushing him off the edge I don't think Anakin would have fallen.

Anakin is still responsible for the choices he made, terrible choices that destroyed himself and everything he ever loved. The Jedi were part of what he loved.

That's why he's such a tragic and wonderful character. He was a hero and a victim and villain. Diminishing his relationship with the Jedi, as a Jedi himself, diminishes that story.

I agree with your point, absolutely (I do disagree on a couple of your examples, but not the point you were trying to make so I'll leave them alone).

I think fandom as a whole could be better to one another, I know for myself I never even ever remotely thought of separating Anakin from the Jedi, I always thought the tragedy of his story was that they were a team/family - it wasn't until I started getting attacked by rabid Anakin fans on ANY post that I labeled as "pro Jedi" (even if Anakin wasn't a part of the post).

I think both sides are becoming needlessly defensive against the other. I do feel like I'm a broken record, but even though I'm pro Jedi Council I still love Anakin Skywalker (it is possible to love both) - he's an amazing character. He's also an amazing Jedi and friend and that's what makes his fall so tragic!! If he killed the Jedi simply because the Jedi were "mean" to him and he never really loved them, well that just robs Anakin of his redemption arc. I 100% agree with you on that point. I feel like SW fandom has bought into this Jedi were bad narrative based on a couple of terrible YouTube videos who did it just for clicks and it's really sad. It's like somehow Palpatine has driven a wedge between fans of Anakin and fans of the Jedi, when we all should be on the same team. We all need to remember:

[obiwanobi]

Sith!Anakin and Sith!ObiWan save the galaxy by killing their master and decided they rather fuck across the galaxy than rule it. Because paperwork. Also they want to raise Ahsoka to reign down havoc, not hurt her.

Oh, I love that, but then you threw Ahsoka into it and my mind immediately went to “this child is going to soften them enough to turn them into (almost) good people because I said so” (it got a bit longer than I thought, so most of it is under the cut!): 

So, Sith!Anakin and Sith!Obi-Wan teamed up to kill their respective masters, (who were fighting a war against each other to control the galaxy) and therefore inherited an Empire. They’re good Sith, they’ve been trained properly, so of course they’re going to kill each other, because everyone knows there can only be one Sith Lord alive!

But... not right now. Ruling a galaxy is difficult, and having someone at your side for the messy transition between governments makes things a bit easier. Plus, Obi-Wan is good at making the law and Anakin at enforcing it, and the sex is pretty great, so it works. Once everything is settled and running smoothly, they will kill each other, and the one left can get the Empire they wanted for him alone. So, really, they have everything figured out. 

Except that. 

They get along scarily well. So well that a year passes, and they’re still honouring their arrangement. They share a bedroom now, (”I’m only moving in because it’s convenient, I can’t keep passing by officers on my way to my room half-naked every morning”) everyone, except them, considers them a couple, (”I don’t think Kenobi heard a word of my speech about the pipe project.” “Of course he didn’t, Skywalker is supposed to come back after a month in the Outer Rim, the only thing he paid attention to was his comlink”) and they completely overlook the killing part of their plan (”I feel like I’m forgetting something.” “Force Obi-Wan, if you made another cup of tea when there are already three cold ones on the table, I swear— Leave your paperwork and just come to bed!”) 

And then one day, Anakin comes home with his own cape bundled up around something in his arms, but it’s his (almost) sheepish expression that stops Obi-Wan from greeting him with his usual kiss. “I said no pet,” he says when the head of a little Togruta girl peeks out from the cloth. But at this point, Darth Vader, feared Sith Lord who still has the blood of his enemies on his boots, is already too far into his “I've only had her for a day and a half but if anything happened to her I would kill everyone and then myself”, so Obi-Wan can only sigh and remind him that he will not feed her when Anakin is gone.

(It’s a lie.)

(The first time Anakin has to leave without her, he comms Obi-Wan every half hour to ask about the pet, and if she’s alright, and if she has eaten yet, and can Obi-Wan please send him a holo of her. It’s a hassle to go find her every time, so Obi-Wan just starts carrying her around. It turns out that the pet isn’t such a burden, and Obi-Wan finds himself praising her in front of his incompetent advisors, because the child is definitely smarter than them.) 

Once they realise she can use the Force, (”Anakin, you never noticed she’s Force-sensitive?” “No!” “Then why did you take her?” “I don’t know! She was looking at me with her big eyes and tugging on my cape, and she babbled at m— oh gods, do you think she mind-tricked me?” “Why do I even— Did you mind-trick this idiot, my darling? Did you? You’re such a good girl, of course you did! We’ll have your favourite dessert tonight.”) they’re absolutely thrilled, because clearly, she’s perfect. And she’s going to be the best Sith. 

But then comes the realisation that she needs to be trained to become a Sith. They both remember very well how their training went, how Anakin almost got consumed by too much rage and anger, how lashing out resulted in hours of force-lightning, how losing his mother got him a simple “good, you won’t have any weak attachment now” from his master. How Obi-Wan had to repress all of his opinions and emotions, how it made him cold and ruthless for so long, how he was never good enough. 

How what makes them happy today isn’t thanks to any of that. 

They look at each other. They look at their precious little girl happily levitating her stuffed lothcat. They look at each other again.

They don’t need words to promise they won’t put her through it too.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/8044198/chapters/18425083 - a series of short chapters that pretty much consist of ahsoka claiming her family, from calling anakin dad, obiwan gramps, padme mum, satine, grandma, etc. Amusing.

So, are we going to talk about the fact that Ahsoka is the only character in the universe that is capable of taking care of herself?

This final season of Clone Wars has brought to my attention how much Ahsoka has grown from the shiny Padawan to a capable general of the republic. Her time away from the order has not made her heart harden, but she is able to openly care and has become stronger because of it.

The arc with the Martez sisters (the most annoying part of season 7) just showcased to me how incredible she has become, and I found myself yelling at the screen multiple times, “Just get out of Ahsoka’s way so she can actually get some stuff done!” If the Martez sisters would get out of her way she would have been able to deal with the whole situation in about two seconds (well, she wouldn’t be in that situation in the first place, but she is Anakins padawan so trouble usually finds her)

This got me thinking, what makes her this way? The answer is pretty clear. Her masters were The Hero with No Fear, Anakin Skywalker, and The Negotiator, Obiwan Kenobi. She was able to obtain the best parts of both masters. She is fearless like Anakin, but she is also controlled like Obiwan. She was able to absorb the best parts of both masters without taking on their greatest character flaws.

Where Ahsoka is able to balance those two thing independently, Anakin and Obiwan need each other to balance each other out. Without Obiwans calming presence Anakin becomes reckless, but without Anakin, Obiwan can be controlled by logic, and forget to feel.

I have loved Ahsoka from the beginning and shall always be my favorite character, and this final season of Clone Wars and just furthered my respect for her.

Bethany’s thoughts

So I’ve been thinking a lot about really cool lightsaber fights. And how cool it would be to have an epic lightsaber fight in the Mandalorian.

But that got me thinking about two fights in particular:

Maul vs Obiwan

and

Maul vs Ahsoka

....because Maul, Ahsoka, and Obiwan.

Anyways...I got to thinking, “ya know, Maul probably could’ve won those fights if he had better control over what makes him a Sith...his anger and impulsive behavior.”

Obiwan probably still would’ve been a challenge for him, since Qui-gon Jinn trained and him all. But Obiwan was still a padawan then himself. But I think Padawan Obiwan was more impulsive than Master Obiwan, so perhaps that’s why he was a good match for Maul. Maul’s impulsive behavior evened out the rest of his skill level so that Kenobi had a chance. In the end, it was Maul’s overconfidence that did him in.

Now, I think by rights Ahsoka should’ve lost the battle with Maul. Not to say that she’d be killed, since I get the impression Maul would’ve tried again to turn her to his side after what he saw in his vision came to pass. He knew she’d be emotionally vulnerable after that betrayal.

But once again, I think it was Maul’s anger that got the better of him. He was angry at Ahsoka for not joining him, he was angry at her direct disagreement regarding his vision (she’s yet another person who is failing to see the truth), and he is angry at the betrayal by Sidious. Now, don’t get me wrong. That fight was still cool AF, but I think if Maul had had better control of his anger, he’d have bested Ahsoka. She is very well trained, and trained by the best, but let’s not forget she left the Temple before she had completed training AND who knows how much lightsaber experience she’s had since leaving. She’d want to stay under the radar, so she probably didn’t use them much. So she went into the fight probably a little rusty.

But the very thing that makes Maul a Sith and to his ultimate downfall, was the very thing that helped her get the upper hand. Maul’s anger.

For a Sith to wield it, I think it’s more than just “being angry”. It’s controlling that anger, that powerful emotion, and using it to fuel the fire inside them. If it’s controlled and used properly, it could make someone unstoppable.

A parallel that I realized came from Avatar: The Last Airbender. When Zuko let go of his anger, he couldn’t firebend as well if at all sometimes. That’s because he was using said anger to fuel his skill. He had to find something else to use as fuel, another emotion that was equally as powerful.

The Sith and Jedi are very much alike in that both require control to be successful. A Sith can be powerful in the Force, but sloppy because he or she lacks control of those emotions. Wildly swung lightsabers and impulsive choices will ultimately lead to a Sith’s downfall. Now a Sith who is in control of his or her emotions and knows how to use them properly is a huge threat to a Jedi.

Anyways, that’s just what I was thinking about that....

[justherejusttherejusteverywhere]

The close keep telling stories of him xD he will never live it down xD

I'm pretty sure there is a betting pool between the Jedi what mess Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka will get into next xD

Ahww that's adorable. Yes. Like some sweets or just nice things ~

My best guess is that it will be set after ROTS, maybe somewhere on Tattooine?

I MEAN. YOU LEFT THAT KID TRAUMATIZED, WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED HE IS TRYING TO KILL YOU MACE?

Well that's touched in the Republic Commando books (old canon, idk what's canon for that anymore and the details might be a bit fuzzy) but back then it was like that: Boba was specifically made for Hangings part of the payment and was unaltered and he and the clones never really got along. Zam and Jango were pretty close, but Zam got killed before. On the RC books some of Jango's old bounty hunter partners/whatever try to find him but can't

But it would be adorable if he got adopted by the clones "He is mine now" "HE TRIED TO KILL ME PONDS" "HE IS MINE NOW" xD and he got kinda adopted by Aura on TCW? But she is not the best influence xD

Years from then he will be hanging out at a bar where a group of clones is only to hear thos story drunkenly shared for laughs. He wants to die then and there from embarrassment cause they didn't forget like he hoped.

Oh absolutely! They all know it's coming but bets are on the scale of it, the amount of damage, the risk and stupidity of a plan used!

I'm loving all the focus Tattoonie is getting lately tbh! I love when more lore gets expanded on (one of downsides to CW when they summarize an event for episode and just focus on the fighting more so then more on planet, etc)

RIGHT?! LIKE THSI SHOULD NOT BE A REMOTELY SURPRISE. then him not doing anything until hostages was shown and like, clones died in thag crash Boba cause, but you dont care if it repeats???? I just, no!

Oh man, gotta love when multiple sources of shows conflict on canon and stuff is all confusing XD. Oooo, I definitely can see that with Boba and clones not getting along. I'm sure there was some fear of being replaced by a better clone/being same as them/need to be better but theres always another clone better at him in something plus clones conflicted with Boba being the Choosen One/how Boba was likely told he was more then clones or never be like them/jealous general of Boba's spot and more! Plus if they are aged faster then him too, that's a whole another issue of perhaps seeing friends get old while your stuck young longer? ((And man later on after Jangos death I am SURE seeing his dads face everywhere does not help omfg))

Just like, clones are guards watching him in a cell when he is being ready to be taken to council after captur and Boba's having a nightmare that ends up with him accidentally calling a clone Buir in a daze and it was at that moment the clone guards had a 'oh. Oh fuck, we are adopting him, arent we?' Moment Lol

Oooh man, when she first shown I had a 'Aw, he got an new adoptive mom' before it turned into 'Wait a damn second, weewooweewoo vibes are kicking off, UNHAND THE CHILD, MA'AM'. I was really hoping there would have been more talk between Boba and the three captured or least with the clones, maybe as a closure or something else before she came back and took hom to front to be away from the captives? Also Hondo having a 'I ain't touching this AT ALL.' And she being his ex, plus that respect to Jango when he got Boba to tell location :')

Also, Oh man Bossk had my heart. I wont lie, I searched for next Boba episodes and skipped to simply watch the two prison ones (bald and beardless Obiwan is Cursed TM and I NEVER want to see it again). And just Bossk having stayed by Boba's side and have his back???? :')

I was asked by @grasswatcher for fics that explore STAR WARS’ Jedi culture and this is one of those subjects that’s dearest to my heart, because I constantly crave more exploration of what it must be like to be a Level 100 Space Psychic in touch with an ancient, unfathomable energy field that creates feedback loops in your head and connects you to all living things and can overwhelm you so easily if you don’t have your shit together, just as much as I want to know about Jedi traditions and Jedi artwork and Jedi philosophy and Jedi stories and Jedi language and all of it.

As I have no other place to vent this not fic here you go. Okay so Star Wars modern au meaning no Jedi order bullshit and lineages are family lines. Obiwan son of Qui-Gon is 23 after he’s just finish his poly sci degree. He is thriving until his dad get him involved in a mess peace’s out with shim now Obiwan has to raise his nine year old brother. Grandpa dooku is too busy and gramps yoda is too old. Anyway this is mostly about obiwan being a secret slut while pretending to be wholesome 1/2

(2/?) wholesome dad to Anikin. Ani is under the impression for year that obiwan has a tone of close friends he has sleep overs with. The illusion is broken when one of his highschool friends regonizes obiwan from their sibling/cousins grinder hook ups. (Padme, rex whoever) Quinlan give much shit for his slutty ways while raising a totally not his fault kid. To be clear Quinlan wouldn’t give him as much shit if he was actually raising and oops baby and not his fathers bastard(?)

Okay, let’s shift a few things to streamline this:

I can’t imagine Shmi would peace out with Qui-Gon unless there was like. Significant nonsense going on? So I’m going to say that Anakin came to whatever modern Coruscant is on some kind of children’s study visa and Shmi stayed behind in whatever the Tatooine equivalent is. He was going to stay with Qui-Gon for the study abroad program, but:

Qui-Gon got invited to give some kind of botanical bioengineering speech overseas, and then got arrested for ??? reasons. I’m going to say there was nude environmentalist protesting going on.

Anakin’s visa got... weird. Tatooine entered a period of civil conflict so nobody can fly from Coruscant to Tatooine, so he can’t go home, and Obi-Wan panicked and signed on to have temporary custody after the visa expires because obviously Qui-Gon’s going to be home soon, right? RIGHT?

Dooku is on House Arrest on the other side of the city (Serreno Neighborhood) and it’s okay to leave Anakin at his house for a few hours here and there but actually living there is. Um. Well, the feds would get involved.

Yoda is at an old folk’s home in the same town as Obi-Wan’s university (he’s doing grad school) that he regularly escapes from via the windows and Obi-Wan is going to commit a murder on instinct the next time he walks into his kitchen at 5AM to find Yoda sitting there in the dark. He’s going to throw something. Shapeless quiet horrors in the wee hours aren’t comforting, great-grandfather!

Anakin’s new best friend is the toddler next door, Ahsoka (Plo Koon’s foster daughter), because she likes to wander into the garage where Anakin’s working on Cool Science Things to ask questions about things she doesn’t understand. Given that she’s four, there’s a lot that she doesn’t understand.

[tammbienn]

So what would happen after Han-Vader’s Best Friend-Solo ends up on the falcon? I could see Vader not even realizing han helped in the escape and being even more furious that ObiWans new apprentice stole the only imperial he tolerates.

What better maiden post to smash a wine bottle against as it sets sail for the great Tumblr blue than this! Thanks for the first ever ask on this blog!

I’m gonna answer this similar to how I would write notes in a WIP (it usually goes notes-first draft-refined draft-draft I share with beta readers if I have any-posted chapter):

Vader doesn’t realize Han has left until the initial chaos of the Falcon squad has died down. Would he have noticed Han getting half-led half-dragged by their resident prisoner Princess? Possibly, if Obi-Wan hadn’t been there. His presence both physically and in the Force (I always like to think that Obi-Wan was purposefully screaming I’M HERE in the Force, tugging on the threadbare remains of his former bond with Anakin, so that ALL of Vader’s attention would be on him whether Vader wants it to or not) It takes a fair amount of time, since searching to make sure there are none left on the something as big as the Death Star takes time and organization. Sure, a sliver of worry creeps into his head when Han doesn’t immediately answer his summons, but like with most emotions he shoves it down, saves it for later, let’s it fuel him to be extra pissed off if he finds any other rebels scurrying around like rats.

Once that’s done, they check the bodies. Usually, Imperial dead are quickly and cleanly disposed of, but Vader makes a point of checking every. Single. One. Just waiting for the moment when he discovers something else has been taken from him. Then he’s like ‘Wait, no. I don’t care about Solo that much. Nope’ but we all know otherwise.

I expect that the chance to check security feeds might have been swept under the rug since the Rebels attack like the very next day, but I’m sure there’s one or two officers that despise Han enough to be like ‘I saw him leave on PURPOSE.’ which is only partially true. Han never intended to leave. He was kinda just dragged into it. How Vader reacts to that? Or, even better, how he reacts if Sidious gets word of it first? ‘Capture him, but bring him to me alive’ and then he sends out the bounty hunters. Yay!

Meanwhile, bouncing to Han’s POV, he’s basically a prisoner and everyone else on the ship is deciding what to do with him. Luke is advocating for immediate shoving out of an airlock (I like Luke being more than little Mr. Naive Peaceful Farmboy. Let him get a bit of Anakin in him. Let him get mad); Leia is being surprisingly diplomatic about it (let her be Ms. Peaceful Princess for once, who shows that, oh yeah, she’s trained for this sort of things), saying that this Imperial helped her escape and they should at the very least take him back to the Rebels for interrogation. “Great,” says Han from where he’s cuffed on the couch. “Could I maybe just get the airlock?” Lando is just trying to stay out of it. Chewie is too, until he finally goes back there and is like “OH IT’S THAT IMPERIAL THAT SAVED ME ONE TIME” and is promptly on Team Leia regarding not immediately killing him.

Should probably mention that Han still has Ahsoka’s old lightsaber (that Darth Vader picked up at the end of TCW, and in this AU ended up giving to Han because it’s just fun symbolically. Also it let’s Han have a lightsaber) and has it promptly taken away from him. Haven’t decided whether Leia or Luke will take it yet, but one of them does.

The Rebels aren’t aware yet that Han is basically Vader’s right hand dude. Things are bound to get hairy once they do. Plus! Do Boba and Han have a history in this AU? Have they met before? Find out next time on Dragonball Z!

Clone wars: episode 10 seconds before disaster

I like you can tell Maul is nervous when talking about Sidious, both in tone and in expression. Also I am pretty sure I saw the hologram of that scarred villain guy from Solo(finally got around to watching it a couple weeks ago)

Also there is a moment where a couple of the clones have their guns raised at Ahsoka before they realize who she is. FORESHADOWING!

Ah yes, Anakin killed Dooku we are getting pretty close. Also it does look they have a sense of the idea that Sidious is manipulating both sides, sort of ties in to the later arcs of the 6th season.

And of course Palpatine has gone past his term limit, no doubt justifying that by the fact they are at war. Yeah Ahsoka knows right off that Anakin isn’t going to be happy about the spying on Palpatine thing. Though really Obiwan, trying to get someone wronged by said Jedi council to convince Anakin of said council’s trustworthiness is not the best plan :/

Poor Jessie :( . Maul is in the throne room on the throne with a bound Jessie which immediatly brought to mind the scene where it was Obi-Wan, Satine and Maul from the earlier season. Thankfully Maul lets Jessie go (did he find out about the Order 66 trigger or was he trying to do a show of good faith thing?).

Also sorry, but uh Jessie looks kind of hot bound up on his knees. Not gonna lie.

Momentary horniness aside, the animation in the throne room is super pretty. And Darth Maul wanted to kill Anakin so Sidious would lose his apprentice. Classic Maul pettiness. Sadly while Maul is speaking truthfully most of the time this episode, he is also a Sith so he has a hard time being believed.

He straight up pulls a “we are not so different after all, join me” on Ahsoka. While it is obvious that she is not going to accept, I have to admit the idea of Maul and Ahsoka teaming up to fight Sidious sounds pretty sick. I have been wondering what a theoretical team up between the two of them would look like ever since that episode in Rebels where they, Kanan and Ezra breifly united to fight the Inquisitors before Maul of course fucked THAT over. Ah, well I hope there are fanfics where we get to see that team up.

Their fight is pretty awesome. It was even cooler to find out later that it was choreographed in real life too via mo-cap. Is that some “Duel of the Fates” theme I hear sneaking into the music? Also Maul’s twist to avoid Ahsoka’s lightsaber when she was pulling it toward her was fucking neat.

And as traditional for a star wars media, there is a fight on a very narrow precarious surface with no hand rails. Maul ends up captured which I knew he would because I saw the episode summary for next week.

Next week is probably going to be Order 66 or at least the start of it. Next episode is going to HURT.
