More.. eldritch... slightly off skywalkers
Luke picking up on random thoughts by passerbys on the street too easily. Leia going up to a rando in a charity gala and going, your wife is gonna divorce you in 5 years. The twins' force signatures are so intertwined that any new jedi who meet them get confused - the eye sees two people but the force says one person.
Them being able to see the galaxy through the force - the twins keep slipping into a half-force half-irl world. Leia's like, everything is glowing. Luke's like I can literally see the strings of fate connecting all people. People leave trails of memories. They keep having to snap out of peering into 'what could have been' to look at what actually is happening.
Both of them being fucked in the medical sense because their blood type is rare and they're one quarter the force so the blood still has a chance of getting rejected.
Vader suffering doubly after mustafar because he became less human. His humanity that anchored him from floating away into the force is gone now - he has trouble distinguishing what's real and what's imagination and what's a memory. Time is meaningless and he cannot sleep because he knows that a happy dream will be the last straw

I see your haunted Coruscant and I raise you: tired dad Anakin (eldritch) explaining to exasperated wife Padmé (unhinged chaos magnet masquerading as a complacent mother) that no, he's not worried about their children whom they've neither seen nor heard from in minutes? Months? Days, Anakin, because the Force loves them so dearly and anyway they are ancient beings (five years old) full of wanderlust and memory and anyway kids need their adventures don't they? Besides he knows where to find them should the need arise. He's never seen their hideout (core of the planet) but if he followed the dark into the ground and asked the locals who haven't seen the sun what stalks the streets when it's quiet, and if he followed the sound of laughter from a place he cannot name and shadows shift when he slips between breathless forgotten avenues and buildings soar where there is no sky and the shadows move, the shadows are not alive but stay away from death, if he followed the taste of decomposed memories he's sure he could reach out to the space where touch has no feel and he would find his children there, drifting like songbirds on a whisper of unlit sun, pouring from one lonely abandoned rusted over coruscanti skeleton to the next. And he's sure pretty sure he could bring them home in time for dinner. Would she want that? Yes Anakin, tell them we're having pizza.

Favourite Eldritch Vader | Anakin lines I've written:
"Take off your mask," Luke ordered. "I will look into the eyes of my father's killer as he dies." “I wear no mask," said Vader. 
— The Sith in Yellow
“Sometimes I have dreams….” Anakin swallowed. “Dreams I swallow stars.”
— The Right Hand of Justice
“Ha,” said Luke. “Then all I have to do to defeat you is not be afraid of you.” Vader tilted his helmet directly at him. A bolt of fear tore right through him. Luke felt cold, like he was being eaten alive by the cave-eel, drowned by the dianoga, and flying down the Death Star trench all at once. He dug his fingers into Vader’s steel arms, gasping. “Good luck with that,” Vader replied.
— Skeptics of the Force
“Is that your spare armour?” quipped Han. “Looks pretty uncomfortable to me.” “That armour isn’t for me,” replied Vader. “It is for Luke.” “What?” gasped Leia. “It’ll kill him.” “No,” said Vader. “Not as long as he remains in his true form.”

Broke: Anakin’s father is the Force
Woke: Shmi is the father and mother and infinite creation and existence of the galaxy and beyond
qui gon: who was anakin’s father?
shmi, the living embodiment of the Living Force, formed out of sand and bones and prayers of the weary and wandering, whose heartbeat is earthquakes and whose blood is lava, who formed anakin from blue fire and the black oil of the core of planets so she wouldn’t be alone in and could fulfill her destiny of reincarnated godhood: father???

The best fics are the ones that recognize that although Luke Skywalker may APPEAR on the outside to be a normal friendly twink who happens to have cool powers, especially when contrasted with such ship partners as Boba or Din or even Han, he is arguably the scariest person alive in the galaxy around the prequel era. AND, crucially, he is also a fundamentally weird guy. This man was homeschooled on a rural farm his entire life and then apprenticed to a swamp gremlin who showed him how to tap into the cosmic power of the universe. He blew up the death star age 19, killing approx 2 million-ish Imperials. He is a vortex of Force power that can communicate with the ghosts of dead Jedi. He’s staring into the distance and mumbling to himself and doing Yoda aphorisms and casually pulling out the “yeah I could crush that guy into a paste with my mind (:” and nobody around him knows what to do with that. I think he is a character who has very little frame of reference for how a Jedi or a person in general is supposed to act and there is some thing about him that is by necessity really fucking weird and a little scary but he’s so nice that it can throw you off the scent a little bit. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

THIS IS IT THAT'S THE BASTARD!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!
There was a post I read several yrs ago before I had a tumblr about the Force as an eldritch entity, and Anakin being a child of the Force is too. He looks mostly like a little boy but well, there are somethings you just can’t hide. Even from people who aren’t Force sensitive because sometimes there are strong emotions and not everyone knows what’s happening, but everyone knows its something. Luke and Leia are little bit eldritch too, if there’s such a thing as “a little bit eldritch” and Han’s reaction to that is basically “huh okay.”
It was wonderful and I want to reread it and like it now that I have Tumblr, because it was The Post that inspired me to do a lot more eldritch/uncanny valley things with several of my characters, and I can’t fucking find it.
If this rings any bells for anyone could you please let me know?

Eldritch tentacle monster luke and leia when. You know like... the force part of the twins manifesting as a lovecraftian horror monster.. obiwan locking the twins' true nature away but it worming its way out as they grow up
A still fresh and somewhat untrained luke gets surrounded by stromtroopers and thinks he's dead for sure but suddenly he's waking up unhurt, in the middle of carnage. He doesn't remember anything but the security footage shows a tentaclish sludge bubbling out of him to devour the troopers whole.
Luke starts exhibiting unsettling behavior the more he starts to rely on his tentacle side. He starts to eat weird things, which people dismissed at first bc tatooine farmer but eyebrows are raised at luke eyeing rotten meat hungrily. He keeps yelling at top of cliffs swearing that he can hear something in the echo etc
Also this is very important, sludge!luke is very polite. It doesn't seem like the tentacle monsterified luke remembers anything nor has a sense of self, it just looks like it operates on instinct, but it's very nice to kids and even tries to pick up admiral piett's cap for him. He's just very nice if you can get over the chilling horror that pierces through you just at the sight of it.

Luke read once that in any relationship, romantic or platonic, it's important to keep conversation lively and interesting, so Luke likes to share little tidbits he picked up on his adventures, with his riduur.
Luke: Hey Love, wanna hear a cool fact?
Din: Sure.
Luke: The Dagobah silt toad is larger than the largest bird native to Naboo!
Din: That's very interesting, Cyar'ika. You should tell Grogu at dinner.
Luke: I will! Wanna hear another one?
Din: Go ahead, sweetheart.
Luke: Stars are haunted.
Din: Okay. I have follow up questions.

Hear me out. Eldritch Luke Skywalker. I know this isn't a new thing, but there ISN'T ENOUGH of it. And I'm not talking about 'scary tentacle monster' eldrich (although I love it too and I think its super cool), I'm talking more of a 'I can tear through your mind like paper and blow up planets with minimal effort but I won't because I'm nice and have moral values' eldritch.

#I also like the mental image of Luke being like#‘‘yeah that’s normal stuff any Jedi can figure out’’#and Ahsoka or some other poor schmuck who was a Jedi being like#‘‘n. no. that’s not normal. or easy. or even possible what the fuck’’
I’ve seen a good amount of ideas about Eldritch Force Cryptid Anakin Skywalker. Which is great! He is canonically 1/2 Force, and I love seeing the silly and terrifying effects that might have! But. Y’see. The Twins are both 1/4 Force. And they have no idea what’s possible. For instance.
Leia knows that the Force can be used to absorb blaster fire the way Vader did at Cloud City. Luke knows that the only limits put upon the Force are the ones the user put there. What if some Imperial fuckface put together a third Death Star, say, 3-5 years after RotJ? And decided that the first target would be Hosnian Prime (or whatever the capital of the New Republic is at that point), and waited until Like was there visiting Leia, so as to take out the biggest political and practical issues at the same time? So Highest Grand Moff His Imperial Fuckface pops out of hyperspace at just the right moment, DS3 all charged up, and fires at Hosnian Prime. And he waits the half minute it takes for the beam to destroy the planet. And he waits. And he waits. And the beam is gone but the planet is not. And standing right where the beam should have hit are the Skywalker twins, who absorbed the entirety of the beam because nobody told them they couldn’t.
Idk I just think it’d be neat

Want so badly for any full-potential Anakins to be the same size as Vader, if not bigger.
Obsessed with the idea that he just keeps growing, that by the time he’s in his late twenties he’s over seven foot tall.
Full-potential Anakin being the size of the Mortis gods and having the same distinct aura of other, so much so that they have to scratch out the ‘human’ in his med-file (they were never fully sure of that one anyways)

Eldritch Everyone
I have read fantastic stories where Obi Wan/ the Jedi are Eldritch creatures and other stories where the Clones are Eldritch, because of Kaminoan experiments. Let's merge the two with a twist. 
The twist is they are different types of eldritch beings who do not know the other is Eldritch. 
As always disregard any established lore that contradicts this. 
With the clones it is because of Kaminoan experimentation. It will never be quite clear what the Kamnioan’s were trying to do…or if they accomplished their goal. But the Kaminoan experiments on the Clones (with the exception of Boba Fett) genome connected with…something beyond. Something they had no idea what to account for. 
For the Eldritch Clones I am taking heavy inspiration from the incomparable Quarra’s The Force of my Love.  The Clones are a hivemind, existing paradoxically as part of the hive and individually all at once.  Their forms are nigh on indestructible and mutable, meaning they can shapeshift (they, in fact, make the choice to keep Jango Fett’s face and shape as their ‘main form’-partially due to spite, partially because the Kaminoans expect it). They are able to travel instantaneously to any clone that is part of the Hivemind(by contrast this instantaneous travel is limited to only to other members of the hivemind).  Unlike Quarra’s clones they cannot tell the difference between Sith and Jedi(for reasons that will be elaborated on later). They have eidetic memory which, combined with the hive mind, means that what one knows all of them know and none of them ever forget.  This version of the clones have no particular connection to Mandalorian culture, nor any other culture, save perhaps the Jedi (The propaganda that they are created for the Jedi still exists and frankly pales in comparison to how awesome the Jedi actually are). 
The Jedi are Eldritch through their connection to the Force, which is sentient (by certain definitions) but so utterly alien to anything on the mortal plane that there is no direct comparison. Now it needs to be made clear from the first that it is not just Force sensitivity that makes one Eldritch, the connection to the Force is just not strong enough.  There are additional rituals that the Jedi, and the Sith of Old, go through to become what could be considered Avatars of the Force (specifically the Light Side for the Jedi). These rituals were passed down from before the split between Sith and Jedi.
I say Sith of Old here, because Bane, in creating his rule of two, did away with many of those rituals (never realizing their worth) because several of them required more than 2 participants.  There are three rituals in particular that apply here. First is a ritual to allow oneself to fill completely with the Force (making themselves, for a lack of better terminology, larger than their mortal forms), which Bane kept as he believed it simply made one more powerful (and could be accomplished alone). The second ritual, also one that Bane kept, helped to hide the Banite Sith from the Jedi(it also disguised what was happening to the Banite Sith due to the first ritual, even from themselves), though that had always been a side effect of the ritual, not its intended purpose; this ritual is the reason that the Clones cannot sense Jedi and Sith seperately. The third ritual makes one a conduit of the Force (letting the Force pass through oneself) which Bane did away with. It is important here because mortal beings are not meant to be filled to the brim with the Force, without the release valve of the second ritual it causes them to rot from the inside out.   This is important because by the old definition of Sith, the Force Cult that has dedicated themselves to being the Avatars of the Dark Side of the Force, there has not been a Sith since Darth Bane (barring one exception) and why the Banite Sith tend to rot while still living, the longer they are immersed in the Dark Side.  Dooku did not rot because he had done the rituals as a Jedi, though he had not dedicated himself specifically to the Dark, so he never took on the title of True Sith. Ventress, through her training with Ky Narec, had also completed most of the Jedi rituals, meaning she was not a Sith but as closer to it than Palpatine. It was actually Maul who, in growing up submerged in the Dark like he had been, accidentally completed a version of the lost second ritual, and became a True Sith in the old meaning of the word. 
These rituals are meant to immerse a Force Sensitive in the Force itself, giving the connection more strength than it would have otherwise.  The Force abilities that we see the Jedi, and the Sith use, are because of the Rituals and why those that do not go through either version have much subtler/weaker abilities. It also means that the Jedi (and the Sith of old+Maul) give off the eerie impression that, no matter the size or species, they are somehow so much larger than they appear. That there is something beneath their skin trying to get out. Also being plugged directly into Force in the way that they are skews the way they view reality.   It can be hard for the Jedi to connect with beings that are not at least a little Force Sensitive and the Jedi care deeply, but sometimes cannot see what the actual problem is (saying ‘there is no death there is only the force’ is not meant to be a trite saying nor do many of the Jedi quite understand why it is not as comforting as they think it is).
At the beginning of the Clone Wars, both the Jedi and the Clones hide their eldritch nature from each other. Both groups had experienced how showing their nature to the wrong people can break minds and they had no wish to hurt the other. 
The first sign that something was…strange was how in sync both groups were.  The Jedi marveled that the clones never cringed at the sight of them (and that which moved under their skin when they lost focus). The Clones were ecstatic that the Jedi never questioned when they had knowledge they should not have, nor the few occasions when multiple clones spoke from the same mouth.  
Nat born officers would make comments, not directly but meant to be overheard, how the Jedi Padawans grew more ‘other’ every time they visited the Temple on Coruscant. The clones would only stare blankly, to them it seemed like the Padawans were simply growing into themselves. 
Various Jedi and clones began to fall into love (Familial, romantic, sexual, platonic, and other).  It is Depa Billaba and Gray who first confess, and in confessing reveal their respective natures (Depa is the one who made the first move-as soon as the Clones knew of the Jedi’s nature they each sought out their Jedi).
The main reason that Jedi do not get in romantic relationships with non Force Sensitives (and Padme has no Force Sensitivity) is that theri nature pushes them to connect at the deepest level they can with their loved ones.  This can mentally damage non Force Sensitives.
For Obi Wan, if Cody had not confessed, Obi Wan never would have.  He had tried, before, to have romantic relationships with non force sensitives. A few times he had even managed to deny his own nature until the relationship dissolved naturally (Obi Wan, like most Jedi could be…odd, even when trying to fit in). It had become clear through his life that it just was not worth the pain to act on those kinds of feelings.  The knowledge that Cody could bond with him fully, was interested in him both romantically and sexually was a joy. Obi Wan was not even off put that by dating on clone, he was in affect dating all of the clones at once (who were also dating other Jedi)
Sometimes the Clones and Jedi switched partners. For instance Mace Windu, who was primarily dating Ponds, loved the Theater, which Ponds was ambivalent about but Bly also loved the theater (which Aayla actively disliked). So Bly and Mace had a standing monthly date night to a variety of theaters all over the galaxy, and at least once a year end up acting in a performance. Or how Fox was one of the only Clones that was not bored stupid at the Anniversary Ball, a pretentious event of a small but rich mid rim planet to celebrate the ratifying of a treaty, that Obi Wan is required to go to every year (even the years he was actively at war). So Fox is Obi Wan’s date, while Cody and Vos (who primarily dated the Coruscant Guard), would use the night to break up some kind of ring(slavery, drugs, smuggling, etc.)
Rex found that he fit neatly into Padme and Anakin’s relationship, somehow providing a stabilizing influence on their bond.  Padme and Anakin had bonded after the first battle of Geonosis but it was a case of Anakin being young and stupid and reckless, and Padme not actually understanding what Anakin was talking about when he tried to explain the risks (She thought he was saying that it might hurt her, and she was reassuring him that she trust him to be careful. He thought she was saying that she knew about the risks and was Force Sensitive enough to not be harmed).  There was already some damage done to  Padme’s mind (mostly in terms of willpower, personality, and impulse control) by the time Rex joined the bond, and not all of it was correctable, but most was. 
It is not the Jedi and the Clones that disrupt Palpatine’s plans (though the chips never worked, so eventually they would have). It was Dooku, Ventress, and Maul. Maul was the first True Sith, though it was accidental, in almost 1000 years. Dooku knew what it meant to be Jedi/Sith in the original sense and could tell that Palpatine did not. Ventress, like Dooku, had gone through the Jedi versions of the rituals (those rituals may have been passed down since before the split, but time had caused a bit of difference).  Because Palpatine has the deeper connection to the Force but not release valve, for lack of a better term, he is more immediately powerful but in the long run is doing far more damage to himself than he realizes.  Sometime before Maul would have gone after Satine, he encounters Ventress, who recognizes him as an actual Sith and brings him to Dooku. 
These three decide that they are going to destroy Palpatine (for being a Pretended Sith) and rebuild the actual Sith Order with the full Sith rituals. Maul is a bit surprised to realize that he, by himself, is more than a match for Palpatine (Since this was the man that had tormented him since childhood; he always had the picture that Palptine was bigger than life). Dooku then publishes all of the wrong doings he knew of from Palpatine’s entire circle-CIS and Republic alike- (and he knew about 80% of what was eventually uncovered). Then all three of them fuck off to Morriban to begin their research into resurrecting the Sith Order. 
The Jedi Order and the Clones collectively decide to let them, on the basis that at least they know where the three Sith are and it keeps them busy.
