#clone wars gambit series

[comebackali]

i am once again thinking about taria damsin and anakin's category 5 meltdown in the middle of the street once he realizes she and obi wan were lovers once

[comebackali]

#i mean.#there's a scene in rots novelization specifically where yoda & windu#confront him about his attachment to anakin#it's also not the only novel where that very much happens#but he's their fave nepo baby so he gets a slap on the wrist😂#because they always trust him to do his duty (via @unlovedanimals)

fr fr reminds me off this post by @elivanto about this OTHER post by @obiwanspadme about this part in clone wars gambit siege

I can’t get over how funny it is that ‘the Council distrusted Obi-Wan’ and ‘the Council felt he was tOo aTtAchED’ and ‘they still had misgivings over him being a Jedi because of his childhood in JA’ and ‘they didn’t like that he was taught by Qui-Gon’ are like, actual fanons, that exist in the fandom, that are semi-regularly seen in fics. 

They PUT HIM on the Council. He basically becomes one of the ‘top three’ with Mace and Yoda despite being the youngest. There isn’t a single Jedi that we ever see in the movies or TCW who dislikes Obi-Wan lmao. He’s the Force’s gift to the Order. The Council spends the whole RotS novelization like: 🥰🥰🥰 and “have you seen our (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*✲ﾟ*｡⋆ ✨son✨”

“i felt YOU. what happened?”

[intermundia]

Hey Will!

You seem to be very well-versed in the Star Wars books, and I was wondering if you could recommend essential reading as regards Obi-Wan and Anakin’s relationship (or character studies of them in general)? We all know about the ROTS novelization, but I was wondering what else you would recommend?

Any other prequel era book recs would be welcomed as well!

📖 = book 💥 = comic 🔰 = YA 📙 = legends 📕 = quasi-canon (novelizations only canon when they line up with the films) 📗 = canon 💙 = favorite or essential imho

this list is not at all comprehensive, but merely the ones that i have found to be good sources for both/either characters as i've explored the lore over time!! they are not all of equal credibility, with legends and YA novels being less vivid in the mind than the canon ones. i'm listing so many because i like so many, but this is hopefully not intimidating as much as it is a full buffet for you to choose from!!!

also: 💙 Darth Plagueis 💙 it's not about the Team, but it is a phenomenal worldbuilding book for the prequels in general

<!--also also: the tv shows and movies are the most important sources for the characters, more important than the written word: the prequel films and the original trilogy, the clone wars movie, the kenobi show, the 2008 clone wars tv show, some rebels, (and then the legends 2003 clone wars tv show) are best sources for them. it’s a lot to watch but it's the most accurate representation of who they are!--->

[sensoryseekinganakin]

I took the RAADS-R Autism Assessment as Anakin, basing my answers to each question on textual evidence from Clone Wars Gambit, Jedi Quest, Rogue Planet, and the Star Wars prequel trilogy, as well as what I have read of the RotS novelization and Labyrinth of Evil. 

Please keep in mind that my interpretations of the scenes I used as evidence are probably affected by my own personal biases and the fact that I have autism too, so I’m not claiming that any of this is how the stories/dialogue were meant to be interpreted. It’s just for fun! In fact, if anyone interpreted these things differently I would love to know!

Anakin’s results:

Total score: 188 Language: 17 Social relatedness: 83 Sensory/motor: 51 Circumscribed interests: 37

Language

I based my interpretation of Anakin’s language almost entirely on his speech patterns in the prequel trilogy. Anakin’s tone and cadence are uneven unless he’s repeating back something someone else has said. He often has trouble controlling his volume or the speed of his talking. In Rogue Planet, Obi-Wan thinks "Anakin could become both expressive and imitative whenever he felt excited or ill at ease." 

His manner of communicating is up-front and honest, even when others don’t want to hear it. In the beginning of Attack of the Clones, he makes Padmé uncomfortable with his advances and does not notice until she comments on it. When she makes it clear that she is uncomfortable, he still wants to understand why. 

Social relatedness

Anakin has the ability to work well in groups when he is in control, but ultimately, he is an outsider aside from a few special people. Even then, his interest in the people who he chooses to spend his time with is specific and possessive. In the beginning of Jedi Quest, Obi-Wan worries that fourteen year old Anakin has no friends. He has trouble relating to others his age at the temple. Obi-Wan spends the rest of the series worrying about the ways Anakin interacts with the friends he makes and ultimately loses. 

Anakin’s concept of relationships is self-serving and one sided. He pined for Padmé for ten years without seeing her, obsessed with a concept of her in his mind that he formed when he was nine years old. He sees himself in others, but has trouble relating to how they feel unless he can put their feelings into his own perspective. In Rogue Planet, he has several moments of extreme empathy for both Ke Daiv and Sekot when he realizes that their experiences have been similar to his. Even if their similarities aren’t exact, when he’s able to project his own trauma onto theirs he’s able to relate to them and interact with them more easily.

Sensory/motor

Anakin has excellent fine motor skills, shown by his mastery of mechanics. Both his motor skills and sensory perceptions are intensified by his connection to the Force. 

“Is it possible you see nothing more than the tensions of approaching adulthood?” Mace asked. “No!” Anakin cried. “I see… too much, too much.” “Too much what?” “I burn like a sun inside!” The boy’s voice rang out in the chamber like a bell.

Particularly in Clone Wars Gambit and Rogue Planet, Anakin is thrown off and frustrated when his surroundings are too loud and too bright if they’re outside of a controlled environment that he enjoys. He is easily overwhelmed, but in battle, especially in a ship, he’s able to zero in his focus on the aspects of the scenario that he enjoys to overcome it. 

He frequently exhibits stimming (the repetitive performance of certain physical movements or vocalizations, as a form of behavior by persons with autism or other neurodevelopmental conditions) behaviors. Throughout Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith he can be seen picking objects up to turn over in his hands, tinkering with electronics, and rocking when sitting and standing in situations that are distressing to him. 

He’s described stimming in Rogue Planet as he’s taking in the sights and sounds of the new environment around him, often holding his hands out in front of himself and turning them over. 

He gave a small shiver, then he, also, rubbed his palms on his tunic, held them out, and looked around. 

One of Anakin’s most iconic and most heavily criticized lines in Attack of the Clones is his description of how he understands the world through sensory details: “I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.”

Circumscribed interests

Anakin has intense defined interests in mechanics, often stating that he relates to machines and understands them better than he does with other people. In Clone Wars Gambit: Siege, he uses his special knowledge and connection to machines to rework a storm shield into one that can keep out battle droids. As early as nine years old, in The Phantom Menace, he was already building a podracer of his own, and by age twelve in Rogue Planet he still had that knack for machines and racing, which he used to modify a pair of racing wings to participate in a garbage pit race. In Attack of the Clones, after the death of his mother, he immediately goes back to working with machines to cope. When Padmé tries to talk to him he gets upset and sidetracks back to that interest.

“I brought you something. Are you hungry?” "The shifter broke. Life seems so much simpler when you’re fixing things. I’m good at fixing things. Always was. But I couldn’t… Why’d she have to die? Why couldn’t I save her? I know I could have!”

His interests are zeroed in, and when he wants to talk about them, he has trouble sensing that others don’t want to hear it. 

Obi-Wan let these words sit between them for some seconds before asking, blandly enough, “What does the ship mean to you?” “A ship that tunes itself to a need for speed... Wow!” Anakin said. “For me, that would be the perfect friend.” “That’s what I thought,” Obi-Wan said.

When he’s fixated on one point, it’s hard for him to see the bigger picture, no matter how many times those round him try to remind him of it. This is a trait that follows him throughout the entirety of his life. 

Total score

With a total score of 188, Anakin falls between "very strong evidence for autism" and the maximum possible score an autistic person can quire on the RAADS-R scale. For comparison, the mean score of autistic people is 130, and the minimum score at which autism is considered is 65. At 90, autism is considered highly likely. I also took the assessment with Obi-Wan in mind, drawing from the same sources as well as Jedi Apprentice, and scored 74, with the most focus in his results being in circumscribed interests and social relatedness. 

So many traits that Anakin’s character is criticized for are autistic traits, whether his writers made him that way intentionally or not. I think Hayden Christensen’s portrayal of him was genius and so heartfelt when viewed through this lens. Even when it isn’t being called autism, it’s clear when people recognize a collection of autism traits and characterize a character based on their perception of those traits. Anakin is an amazing case of unintentional autism representation, and the hatred and biases people have toward his character are often based on his autistic traits.

#i cant stop thinking about that ‘oh you thought i was dangerous :(‘ post#bitch ? you are

i simply think every time obi-wan hurt anakins feelings he deserved it. in fact i believe he should have done it more.

[padawanlost]

Warning, long message.

Hi, so this isn't really a question. I just wanted to thank you. I've been checking your posts for a bit and because of you I decided to give a try to the Clone Wars Karen Miller novels. Wouldn't have done it other wise. Honestly I didn't enjoy Wild Space much. Felt like there was some sporadic brightness between a lot of stuff that bored me. The interactions between Obi-Wan and Bail didn't really made it for me. Gambit though. I'm right now in chapter 9 of Stealth and I'm loving everything. It's exactly what I wanted the way I wanted it. So many good moments so far. So many good interactions. So many nice paragraphs of inisght into both Anakin and Obi-Wan.

I liked that talk they had in the Archives so much. Anakin expressing his worry for Ahsoka, Rex and his soldiers while not really wanting to express it fearing Obi-Wan will give him another lecture about attachment and then Obi-Wan admitting to Anakin that knowing him has made him a better Jedi, and after that regretting that he should've said that earlier because there should be a place for praise too and not just for lectures.

And then on their way to Bail's house, Anakin mentioning his mom and how he built 3PO to apolgize to her when he was late... Ah, it's so good. Wish The Clone Wars show had more moments like this.

I love that show, it's what made me a fan of Star Wars and their banter there is wonderful. But honestly, that little moment in Stealh was honestly better than any funny moment or sassy line that those two have in the show (not saying those moments between them aren't good or their relationship isn't well portrayed. Just saying this stuff in the novel is more of my thing)

This novel is so good. So underrated. 100 % an obligatory reading for anyone who calls themselves and Obi-Wan and/or Anakin fan.

I'm just so glad this novel is allowing Obi-Wan to be so human and Anakin so... Vulnerable.

It's like Padme says. He takes it personal. He feels responsible. He wants to fix everything that's broken. That shit gives me life lol.

I like the badass cool Anakin from The Clone Wars but the real man behind General Skywalker, the real person behind the Hero With No Fear facade it's more interesting and relatable.

So yeah, thank you!

You’re welcome! It makes me so happy discovering some of the awesome content the EU has to offer. And let me tell you, Karen Miller is one of the very best when it comes to writing prequel Era, specially Padmé, Ahsoka, Anakin and Obi-wan. She’s not as ….dramatic…as Stover but oh boy she’s written some of the most beautiful moments in star wars.

And the Gambit Series is a must-read! #chefskiss

[teagrl]

For anyone into Dark Empire (and Mara!), this is required reading!

Dark Empire fyi is the Legends comic series where Palpatine comes back through clones (lolz) and Luke turns in his quest for knowledge.

I know I've been thinking about DE a great deal (it's a pet timeline). I've always said LOVE the concept of DE and hate its execution. These set of fics unpack canon ("canon," lol I see you all, I see you Zahn, and your haterade, too) and make the psychological landscape of Luke way more intelligible. I love the twists, love the action, adore the character beats and the UST (omg). Please go shower the writer with comments and encourage her to gift us the finale when she can!

[emma-dennehy-presents]

Chewed through Rebels season 1 already. I love this series so much. Its fetch. Like its not without early series hiccups but compared to The Clone Wars its a much smoother S1 for rewatches. I cant believe so many people gave this show so much hate for not being The Clone Wars. (Im pretty sure I have to put myself among that number.)

The Ghost crew is so fucking endearing, and the series runs the gambit of emotions that it makes me experience. The slapstick needs to find its footing at first, but I think it does so relatively swiftly and it starts giving me some genuine laughs pretty early on. I love watching Kanan and Ezra grow together, as Jedi. Chopper, Zeb, and Sabine are some of my favorite crewmates in Star Wars. I want Hera to be my mom, or my husband, or both? I dont totally know but AHHHHHHHH!!!1!! HERA, I LOVE YOU!!1! ♥｡:.ﾟヽ(ಥ∀ಥ)ﾉﾟ.:｡♥

Seeing The Grand Inquisitor in this really lowers my opinion of his appearance in Kenobi. This is not shade to Rubert Friend. Its more the look. He just doesnt look like a Pau'an when you compare him to his animated self or the glory of Bruce Spence in Ep3 RotS. More forehead, like at least 50% more, plz.

Im already upset theres only 4 seasons, and Im not even half way through. (ง ͠ಥ_ಥ)ง

[ocd-kenobi]

I’m not sure if you’ve answered this, but what Star Wars novels do you recommend that have a good amount of obikin content?

The only books I really recommend that have Obikin content are Rogue Planet, Stover's ROTS novelization, the entire Jedi Quest series by Jude Watson, and probably the Clone Wars Gambit Stealth/Siege duo.

There are other books that have Obikin content that I don't necessarily recommend as books, but they are there for mining content if you wish--especially Brotherhood and maybe Ahsoka.

Then there are books I recommend as books that have implied/future Obikin content which is enough for me, but may not be enough for other people--including Kenobi (post-Anakin) and Master & Apprentice (pre-Anakin) and Johnston's the Queen's Peril series (they are both there but it is very much centered around Padme and her lesbian handmaidens.)

reading the clone wars gambit series and thinking about the fact that the reason anakin continues to throw himself head first into danger, the reason he risks life and limb in increasingly violent confrontations during the war, is because he believes that if the prophecy is true, if he really is the chosen one, then it's his destiny to bring balance to the force, and the universe simply will not let him die before that destiny has been fulfilled
