STARKILLERS SUIT IS BADASS!!!

[aj-artjunkyard]

I think even funnier than Anakin being a Big War Hero is if he was like. The Temple’s resident tech guy. Cal or Kanan find out who Darth Vader is and they’re like ‘the guy who reset my password???’

[incorrectskywalkers]

Fallen Order AU where Cere is killed and Cal is taken by Darth Vader with the intention of making him an Inquisitor. But when Cal’s psychometric abilities are revealed, Vader has a different plan in mind, one that causes certain truths and revelations to come to light. Cal didn’t know what he was getting into when he showed Vader what he saw through those echoes, but he really didn’t sign up to accompany said Sith Lord while he went through a midlife crisis.

Essentially, Vader finds out the truth about how Palpatine lied to him and how Padmé really died and also the fact that he has twins out there somewhere and decides “fuck palpatine” and drags a bewildered Cal - who becomes his unofficial apprentice of sorts - with him as he plots a way to take the emperor down and also, find his kids.

Also a Darth Vader redemption of sorts. He’s still a pretty shitty guy at the start and his whole reason for wanting to kill the Emperor is solely to avenge Padmé. He also has some murderous intent towards Obi-Wan for hiding his children from him and also, leaving him to burn. He’s in the mindset of believing that he wasn’t at fault and blames others for everything that happened, including his actions. But gets a hard wakeup call from Cal when he shows him just how shitty things are and what the Empire, what he has done and finally thinks “oh, I’m the problem” and from then on his slow redemption starts as he sets out on attempting to repair the damage done as he starts back on the rocky path towards the light. He also trains Cal, who at first goes “fuck that and fuck you” but eventually the two become a duo. Like Vader and Starkiller if Vader was going through a crisis, stumbling through a path of redemption and Starkiller was his tired, annoyed, unofficial apprentice who was unwillingly dragged along for the ride.

You might be cool, but you'll never be as cool as Ezra Bridger riding a star whale into battle.

I think Vader took it as a challenge...

Darth Sidious & Count Dooku on Star Wars: Darth Vader #46 Master & Apprentice Variant Cover by Phil Noto

[gibbertyflibbet]

sins of the master

just trying things

[dathomirdumpsterfire]

odd tho, that right at the finish line to the revenge of the sith (a thousand years in the making) sheev would send maul to fight some jedi on naboo, right? when by all means he got the result he wanted from the jedi 'winning' that conflict. big risk of discovery innit?

unless that wasn't about the planet at all. unless sheev wanted maul to fight qui-gon, specifically. ya know, sith historically love pitting apprentices against each other...

...and qui-gon was all about the prophecy of the chosen one, right?

and like, there's only a few canon sith, versus a metric ton of jedi. fifty thousand or something?

cool.

... what did everyone think 'balance' meant?

yeah so, what IF qui-gon knew what kind of monster anakin was going to become.

what IF qui-gon was another sith apprentice.

what if that duel was 'who gets to train anakin' and either way the jedi lose?

lil ani, destined to bring balance to the force? well. he did. in a manner of speaking.

anyhoo. sith qui-gon au, amirite?

This is like, the most basic level of analysis but I just realized the other day that Luke inherits Anakin’s lightsaber as he learns that his father used to be a Jedi Knight, and then loses it (involving a great deal of pain and mild dismembering) when he learns the (more objective) truth about Vader.

After a long time of not drawing at all, I'm back on my bullsh!t.

I have a weird fascination towards goatees as a facial feature (damn you Megamind!!!) and now I want young Obi Wan to have one too.

Closeups down there

Weirdly enough I haven't read any fanfiction about Obi Wan and Maul even if they are one of my fav ships. It's also the first time I draw this ship to this extent (I didn't count the doodles that are stored who know where)!

I also keep thinking about an AU where Maul grew up having Mace Windu as his master and becoming a great Jedi. He deserved better. At least he slays in The Clone Wars lmao.

So yeah enjoy the Jedi!AU Maul x Obi Wan [with a (in my opinion, sexy) goatee]

Edit: I fucking noticed NOW that Maul's tattoos palette is different from one panel to another. My apologies, I'll do better next time.

some incorrect quotes based on this au (where cal ends up being dragged along for vader's slow, unsteady redemption post jedi fallen order when he finds out the truth about palpatine's lies and padme's true fate via cal's pyschometry)

~~~

Cal: If you kill me, my teeth only have a two percent drop rate.

Vader: ...What?

Cal: Good luck.

~~~

Cal: Did you have to stab them?

Vader: You weren’t there. You didn’t hear what they said to me.

Cal: What did they say?

Vader: "What are you going to do, stab me?"

Cal:

~~~

Cal, trying to lighten the mood: Hey, how do you ask a glass of water what it’s doing?

Vader: A glass of water is an inanimate object. Therefore, it's incapable of having a thought process or understanding basic human language.

Cal:

Cal: Water you doing?

~~~

Cal: Stop lying, stop manipulating, stop murdering, just be nicer!

Vader:

~~~

Vader: Enough! How dare you mock me in such a manner!?

Cal: Well. How would you like me to mock you? I take requests.

~~~

Vader: Pardon the intrusion, but-

Cal: On this moment or just my life in general?

~~~

Vader: I prevented a murder today.

Cal: Really? How’d you do that?

Vader: Self control.

~~~

Vader: I have come to the realization that bottling up negative emotions is harmful and that you shouldn't do it.

Cal: I know, that's why I bottle up all my emotions, both positive and negative, so it cancels out.

Vader:

Vader: Do you take constructive criticism?

Cal: I only take cash or credit.

~~~

Vader: You have an oddly sincere sense of humility.

Cal: I prefer the term self-loathing, actually.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY ECKSTEIN!

[snowyhobbit]

I'm so happy for Ahsoka because she's finally go what she's been craving for years: closure.

Whilst she had (presumably) heard about Anakin's redemption in his final moments from Luke, it didn't do anything to heal her own residual trauma from that relationship. Arguably, Ahsoka and Anakin have a lot more history than he had with Luke and yet Luke got that feeling of closure whilst simultaneously denying it to Ahsoka. She had to move forward knowing that the last memory she has of her former master is him trying to kill her on Malachor.

This damages most of her relationships going forward as she tries to reconcile with the idea that Anakins legacy is death and destruction. It's why she pushes Sabine away and refuses to train Grogu - she's terrified of one day being in Obi-Wan's position having to face a padawan who has fallen into darkness.

But now Anakin has finally shown Ahsoka that his legacy isn't just fighting for the sake of fighting - it's choosing to live, choosing the light and finding balance between what you want to hold onto from the past and what you want to carry with you in the future.

In the closing moments of the episode, it just seems as though Ahsoka has had a weight lifted from her shoulders and she can finally properly heal from her past.

Me about Obi-Wan: Obi-Wan would NEVER go dark in canon, it goes against the entire point of his character within the story if he does, and if anyone DOES try to have Obi-Wan go dark, they clearly just don't understand his character or they hate the character he was written to be.

Me about Ahsoka: That bitch should've gone dark 10 years ago, stop trying to make her a Paragon of Light, she's had one foot in the Dark since at least Mortis if not earlier, make her fall, punt her off the cliff to do it if you have to!
