OH MY GOD THIS ACTUALLY MADE MORE SENSE
Ok but to have Baylan say that Sabine’s family on Mandalore died “because your master didn’t trust you” is an insane thing for them to drop and never pick up again. I am so fascinated. We know now that Sabine’s family died in the purge of Mandalore, and Baylan is obviously picking things from Sabine’s head to use against her in this episode, so it’s more that he’s picking up how Sabine feels than what exactly happened. So how did Sabine reach the stage where she has connected her family’s deaths to how she feels regarding how much her master trusts and believes in her?

One thing I find eternally amusing is that if I say the statement "Discounting the toxic crybabys, most people who were mad about what Luke became in the sequels are the older generations who grew up with the OG trilogy and spent 30 years headcanoning him as their perfect special uwu boy"... I can group people in the area into age brackets based on how annoyed they get at the statement... Bonus points if the phrase "but the EU/books!" is spoken.
#'the books ain't canon babyyyyy and they never have been'#but also the younger folks even if they don't agree will kinda... consider it at least#the older folks IMMEDIATELY bristle and get defensive#not even toxic just like... i'm challenging their beliefs and they feel that...#i'm friends with some of the guys... they're good guys...#just... funny how consistent it is...#and i know it's not an argument i'll ever convince them of...#but as someone who has been in multiple fandoms with 1 million year hiatuses...#it's so easy for fanon to start getting mainstreamed as canon...#which that coupled with the EU is exactly what happened with Luke#dude ain't perfect and the fight against the dark side is a constant struggle#a lot of the people who get defensive just think it's a fight Luke has permanently won#and the sequels said otherwise#sequels ain't perfect but i'm not mad about what they did to Luke#if yoda can go chill on dagobah for 20 years... luke can go chill on ahch-to#anyways#star wars#my rambles

Obsessed!Luke who always knows where you are due to him reaching out to you with the force. It brings him a sense of peace to know where you are, and being able to tell if you're in distress or not. He will gladly use his training to keep a tab on you.
Obsessed!Luke not knowing why you have such control over him but you do. He'd get on his knees and crawl across the hot sands of tatooine, swim through the swamps of dagobah if you so much as hinted to wanting it. Luke will come to you with decisions that have no need involving you but he'd never wish to do something that you don't agree with.
Obsessed!Luke telling you of his parentage and what he's had to do because of it to get a glimpse of pity. He doesn't care if it makes him look weak, the way you coo over him with care after hearing what he did. How strong he is and how much courage that had to have taken. He'll play it up, tears welling in his precious eyes when he mentions his father, just to get a simple kiss on the cheek.
Obsessed!Luke grows anxious when he sees you talking to han for too long, having to insert himself into your conversation. It's not you, oh no, not his dear starlight, it's han. He knows han would steal you away, wanting you all to himself like the selfish man he knows him to be. Luke needs you to live, needs you to survive. You've become his home, how could he go on without you?

anyway today in things that I wasn't supposed to get out of one of my psych lectures but did anyway:
i'm taking a personality class and we started off talking about psychoanalytic theories of personality (Freudian, Jungian, etc) because they've laid a lot of the foundation for our modern theories and the terminology has found its way into the layperson's lexicon etc BUT while we were talking about the Jungian theory of the shadow (the dark park of yourself that you must confront in order to become fully individuated, according to Jung), my professor talked about how this concept is something that is embedded into some of our oldest myths and tropes, and as an example he played the clip from esb where Luke confronts the vision-Vader on dagobah and kills him only to find out that it's himself, etc.
but it just made me think. like OF COURSE the dark side isn't actually a part of the force. the force is just the force. it's not going to corrupt you or magically twist your personality. the power it offers might give more opportunity to do/become evil or whatever, but the dark side is just the dark side of YOURSELF. you give in to those selfish, greedy, rage-filled impulses and that's what leads you to become corrupt. that's why you start using it twisted and taboo ways, not the other way around. it's so blindingly obvious and yet I don't think I ever fully thought about this way before. the reason the dark side seems to turn you into everything you hate is just because it's everything you hate most about yourself.

It's so weird seeing people make the claim that Obi-Wan like... genuinely sees Anakin and Vader as two different people and claiming that Ahsoka and Obi-Wan are reacting to him in the same way.
Set aside the Kenobi show for a second and just look at the OT and it's pretty clear that when he's separating Anakin and Vader that he's doing so for LUKE'S sake, not his own. HE knows Anakin and Vader are the same person, you can see him improvising how to discuss this with Luke without giving that away AS IT HAPPENS. But he knows Luke does deserve to know about Anakin if he wants to, and he knows that Luke both deserves and needs to know the truth about Darth Vader and the part Obi-Wan played in it if Luke is going to start training now. But he also knows Luke ISN'T READY to hear that his father is a monstrous Sith Lord who betrayed everybody. And he's right. Luke isn't ready. He's not ready three years later, either. Luke MANAGES, but he wasn't truly ready to hear the truth on Bespin any more than he was on Tatooine.
And once he and Luke discuss the truth on Dagobah, there's absolutely no attempt to actually discuss Anakin and Vader as two separate people. He defends the lie with the "from a certain point of view" line, sure, but that's mostly him just saying "nothing I said was actually a lie, just a modified truth." He's being a little facetious here, too. But it's not him attempting to genuinely convince Luke that Anakin and Vader ARE two separate people.
And unlike Ahsoka, who appears to be legitimately deciding to just pretend Darth Vader never existed and Anakin never did anything wrong in his life ever, Obi-Wan DOES recognize it. That's the whole POINT of discussing Darth Vader with Luke, too. That's the whole point of admitting that Vader was OBI-WAN'S student when he absolutely did not have to tell Luke that at all. He knows exactly what Anakin's done and is perfectly capable of actually acknowledging it both to himself and out loud, to the point of being able to recognize his own part in the story too, he's just protecting Luke from that realization for the time being. Because Obi-Wan, of all people, knows how hard it can be to come to terms with what Anakin chose to become, and is sparing Luke from having to go through that until it's either absolutely necessary or until Luke's had more time to prepare for how to react to it.
But Ahsoka NEVER recognizes what Anakin's done. She doesn't discuss BOTH of them, she doesn't call "Vader" a traitor at any point. She never uses Vader to talk to Sabine about the choices she's making, or talks about her feelings about Vader's betrayal of the Jedi. She ONLY discusses Anakin and how great Anakin was. There's never any REAL acknowledgment, either internally or externally, that she knows what Anakin's done and become. Aside from the flickers in the vision, which could've been Anakin trying to FORCE her to acknowledge it if we interpret it as it actually being Anakin himself rather than just Ahsoka's fears made manifest. There's nothing like "He might've made choices I didn't agree with later, but he was a good master when I knew him" to show that she CAN see both sides of it. NOTHING. Even if she USED to acknowledge it before, perhaps, she's choosing not to anymore. She's choosing to act like Vader just never happened because she can't cope if she does. She HAS to only acknowledge Anakin as she knew him and act like Anakin just died a Jedi and never did anything wrong ever in his life or she'll SHATTER.
That's NOT what Obi-Wan's doing, at all.
Even if we take the Kenobi show into account, Obi-Wan's choice to say "My friend is truly dead" is out of acknowledgment of Anakin's own statements. It's pretty CLEARLY metaphorical, it's Obi-Wan recognizing that Anakin is beyond saving, that Anakin is making a choice to be THIS and nothing Obi-Wan can say or do will change that. He's choosing to grieve the person he loved rather than clinging to this idea that Anakin might change. Anakin's made his choice and all Obi-Wan can do now is move on and let him go. But he DOES know it's Anakin, he DOES acknowledge that it's Anakin. He can't do anything else, he's literally staring at Anakin's face as he says it. That line is him telling Anakin that he's washing his hands of him from now on. It's a "Fine, if you want to pretend that Anakin is dead, I'll let you, but that means I'm done with you now and you can't manipulate me through that relationship anymore."
One of these is a healthy way to handle the situation and the other is uh. Not. I'll let you take your guess as to which is which.

first of all hii u r so funny and i love ur blog and art sm!
i was wondering what r ur thoughts on luke getting turned on by pain? cuz when i saw him whimpering during his training on dagobah and destroyed by the end of esb, something shifted inside me.
i’m FOAMING at the mouth at the thought of him shivering while his pitiful blue eyes are begging for more.. AND also i will stand by the fact that, though he may appear vanilla-ish, he’s the freakiest man in bed
hello anon!! i think ive finished grieving the work i lost when i first wrote this and my things refreshed but anyway ty for the advocacy, here we go again
nsfw under cut ☆˚⊹ (vague themes of masochism)
first off, literally yes i love your mind we are two in one
secondly, i think that luke would absolutely be the kind to look all nice and gentle, and maybe he is in the beginning but as he warms up to you he likes to let you go a bit rougher.
maybe pinning him or his hands down so that he can't touch you or himself, possibly a bit of hair pulling just to rip quick little whimpers from him everytime his head snaps back.
if he really wants to get into it, either because he's so drunk on the current moment or he just needs more, he'll let you scratch at him, bite at him, letting you leave your marks wherever you please
i think he enjoys the secretive signatures of how desperately you really wanted him.
if we're into a more submissive luke, he'd most definitely stare up at you with those wide puppy eyes as you mix his pain and his pleasure, his body trembling as he moans out in a vague confusion of sensation.
his little mumbling self only able to get out soft pleas and whines as he reaches for you, maybe the softest glint of tears in his eyes,,
pulling and grabbing at him hard enough to leave bruises and vague markings, just making him sore enough to physically remember everything you did the day before.
i also remember reading this one fic a few years back — i don't remember what it was called, so if you can find it pls tell me i rlly liked it… — where luke was comfortable enough to let you use force lightning when jerking him off.
not too much, of course, but just a vague buzz to send shocks down his cock and up his spine, a familiar adrenaline rushing through his body while you console him.
unless of course, you'd like to verbally demean him…
#sorry this isn't the longest i swear i had more when i first wrote it maybe i'll update if i remember#also don't flame this i'm. somewhat tired i've been traveling#limeposting#nsft#luke skywalker x reader#luke skywalker smut#luke skywalker

So, Favreau came out today and said that Grogu was training with Luke for two years and every response I’ve seen has been “the fuck he did not” because it absolutely is not conveyed within the episode and doesn’t feel like two years and I am baffled at this choice because okay look. This is apparently two years into their time together, I can understand some awkwardness still, not all people get along and it’s clear that Grogu’s heart isn’t really in this. But what you’re telling me is that it took Luke Skywalker two years to bring up Yoda’s name? It took Luke two years to break out the training remote to help Grogu? You’re telling me that Grogu, at the beginning of the episode, was already two years into his training with Luke and had barely made much progress, until just now? Further, what gets me is: The things Luke uses to teach Grogu in this episode are all things that are from the beginning of his training. The blaster remote that Obi-Wan used on him was the very, very first thing he ever used to open himself up to the Force and using his senses through it. The time he spent on Dagobah may have been up to a couple of months, but the comment Luke repeats from Yoda, “Size matters not.” is something that was a foundation of his understanding of the Force, not something you break out mid-way through training someone. Setting aside that there’s no indication of that kind of passage of time in the episode itself, it’s a baffling choice because all of this feels like training Luke would start with, like what have they been DOING for those two years, if not starting with training remotes or Luke talking about Yoda? Luke himself didn’t start with two years of nothing but meditation, I guess you could bend over backwards to make the case that Grogu was so traumatized, Luke felt he had to back up even further than his own starting point, and do two years of meditation before Grogu was ready to move on to where Luke started, but none of that is conveyed in the episode.

Luke Skywalker who was bullied and called “wormie” and had a tense relationship with Owen and was lonely af, but who worked his ass off on the farm and was nice to people and dropped everything to help a stranger in need simply because they were in need anyway.
Luke Skywalker who was frustrated and impatient and chomping at the bit, but who took deep breaths and heard his mentors out but still did what felt right to him and went to save his friends even though he knew he was putting himself in danger by leaving before his training was done because they were his friends and he had to help them, there was no other option in his mind.
Luke Skywalker who lost the shining knight image of his father, his hand, his trust in his mentors, and his sense of identity all in one blow, but still went to the window to comfort Leia as Lando and Chewie left to look for Han anyway.
Luke Skywalker who had clearly learned a lot and become very powerful all on his own and blew up a crime lord’s palace to save his friends, but who went back to Dagobah to complete his training anyway because he thought “there’s always room to improve.”
Luke Skywalker who laughs at tiny teddy bears trying to arrest him and just hands his lightsaber over to them and is just chilling, absorbing everything while he’s tied up and pulling some harmless Force tricks while still perpetuating the idea that C-3PO is a god cuz it’s just too damn funny and he won’t be the one to shatter the Ewoks sense of how the galaxy works.
Luke Skywalker who comforts his sister even as he goes off to fight Vader and maybe die in the attempt (remember his line to the emperor “soon I’ll be dead and you with me,” man really thought he wouldn’t be coming back).
Luke Skywalker who was willing to cart Vader off with him to likely some remote corner of the galaxy and make up a plan as he went cuz he still loves his father and always believed he would come back to the light and just wanted a chance to be a real family.
Luke Skywalker who trusts in not only the Force, but connection, attachments, and himself.
This is my Luke Skywalker.

Do you know where Yoda is in your Anakin-raises-Leia au?
Is he still chilling on Dagobah, with occasional visits from the X-many greats grandkids?
Did he see Anakin, Ahsoka, and (later) Obi-Wan trying to raise a baby and think Absolutely Not, they need Adult Supervision?
Did he choose to stay near Luke like OT Obi, but as a mysterious bog gremlin instead of sand wizard? is he punking any imperials that try to enter - think Shrek vibes
Is he taking advantage of the Vader free universe to go around looking for their lost padawans?
did he immediately retire to a vacation world, leaving saving the universe in his lineages' hands as he sips space piña coladas and watches the sun set?
Is he doing a mix of everything?
yeah he's pissed off to dagobah as per usual!! so yeah shrek vibes but on dagobah not naboo ): really not much difference, though Anakin and Leia do (carefully) visit a few times to get Jedi guidance or whatever! but yeah just bc vader isn't here doesn't mean yoda's 1. safe or 2. in a mental state to be a jedi after losing so many ppl he taught ): lad's in his depressed swamp boy summer
#tbh he probably EXTRA leaves n says 'into exile I must go. be my problem a child raised by Anakin will not be'#then anakin shows up anyway like uhhh master yoda idk how to teach leia /: shes too good at the mental force whats up w that#anakin (6'2) @ leia (5'1 as an adult): hey we're going to meet this little green guy he's gonna explain how to be okay with being short#'and teach you how to be a jedi i guess'#thanks for the ask!#skywalkers apart au

headcanon time
so, the extent of luke skywalkers lightsaber training was that one time on the falcon with obi wan, right? and three years later, he's shown to be keeping up with one of the best duelists in the galaxy in darth vader. how did he get there? so, since its established that he trained with yoda for like, weeks on dagobah, my theory is that yoda still has his lightsaber and lightsaber combat was an intense part of the training that we just didnt see onscreen. also, yoda would use ghost obi wan as a mannequin to show where on the human body is the best place to stab with a lightsaber. for being one of the most powerful jedi at one point as well as a top 5 duelist in the galaxy, after 22 years being a training dummy aint that bad

Despite what the haters like to say, Obi-Wan and Yoda weren’t lying to Luke regarding his father. Metaphorically speaking, Vader did kill Anakin when he fell to the Dark Side. And they had good reason as to why they had to tell him like that, as Luke was a young, brash and reckless young man. Who knows how Luke would have reacted if the truth was presented will all the facts?
I think we do know how he'd react to being told the truth before he was ready actually.
I think you could make a solid argument that Obi-Wan and Yoda are obscuring the truth from Luke and definitely intentionally allowing him to come to incorrect conclusions, which you COULD categorize as lying depending on your definition of it. It is at the very least a white lie or a lie by omission.
For me, though, I don't care if they lied. The motivation behind it and the intended impact on Luke is what's important to me. Obi-Wan and Yoda are trying to PROTECT Luke as best as they can and keeping the information about his father from him until they feel like he's emotionally ready to handle it is one of the ways they are doing that.
I'd also argue there's not TONS of time in which they could've told him this particular truth. Obi-Wan doesn't appear to have really had many interactions with Luke on Tatooine prior to when the story begins and they're immediately distracted by R2-D2 showing up with a message from Leia asking Obi-Wan to come to Alderaan and then Owen and Beru are murdered. Obi-Wan has bigger fish to fry than dealing with the emotional fallout of bombarding Luke with the information about Vader being his father and he is arguably ALREADY dealing with Luke being kind-of emotional due to the recent loss of his family. Why would he add to that when he's got so much else on his plate?
And then he dies pretty quickly after that and we don't really have any indication that he is able to really communicate much with Luke between when he speaks to him at the Death Star and when he shows up on Hoth (I have to assume he'd have sent Luke to Yoda WAY earlier if he had been able to speak to Luke within this time period, what benefit would there be to waiting several years to get Luke to Yoda?). He also only seems to be able to speak or appear for a few SECONDS at a time, so even if Obi-Wan HAD appeared to Luke prior to Hoth, would it be reasonable for Obi-Wan to show up and be like "yo Luke, Vader is your father, peace out" and then be unable to actually explain any of it or support Luke in the aftermath of that revelation?
And once he's on Dagobah, Yoda is immediately distracted with trying to TRAIN Luke and he already believes Luke is too old to begin this kind of training and too stubborn to handle being a Jedi, but he's willing to give Luke his best chance anyway. Why would he drop a bombshell on Luke like that and potentially undo any good he's managed to achieve with him in the few weeks since they'd met? Yoda is constantly evaluating Luke and declaring that he's not truly ready during the time on Dagobah, including when Luke gives up on removing the X-wing from the swamp and when he goes into the cave with a weapon despite Yoda's warning not to. Yoda is trying to give Luke his best chance at becoming a Jedi despite Luke's inherent disadvantages, throwing the information about Vader at him early is just going to throw an additional wrench into that goal. And it wasn't actually YODA who wanted Luke to be a Jedi, LUKE is the one asking this of Yoda. This is LUKE'S goal that Yoda is trying to help him achieve, so why would it be a bad thing for Yoda to do his best to ensure that it happens?
And then Luke runs off to Bespin and discovers the truth and nearly gives up entirely in reaction to it because he WASN'T READY and everybody knew it.
So where in that time period would it have been appropriate to tell Luke about his father? Where in that time would Luke have been able to handle that particular revelation well? At BEST you could argue that Yoda could have told Luke when he arrived on Dagobah, right at the beginning of his training, but this would probably throw that training way off course in order to help Luke manage that information rather than starting Luke off with the basics as a way to work him up to being able to hear that truth. Luke can't even believe that it's possible to lift an X-wing and that belief is such a basic core part of being a Jedi. Without that, there's no way for Luke to manage anything more advanced, like discovering your father is an evil Sith Lord.
TL;DR Obi-Wan and Yoda aren't given tons of time to tell Luke this and they made the best choices they could in order to help Luke become the Jedi he wants to be, even if that meant lying to him about something he wasn't ready to process.

I was rewatching The Empire Strikes Back and a thought crossed my mind when I noticed Yoda’s behaviour toward Luke. We’re all so used to see Yoda as the one who knows, the one that is strong, that can come out on top no matter what because of his experience and strong connection to the Force, but during TESB you can clearly see that he is in distress, you can feel a certain disappointment. The moment he meets Luke can be seen as a culmination of a long, painful, and frustrating life experience. Yoda isn't just a Jedi Master, he's someone who witnessed the decline of the Republic and the fall of the Jedi Order, to which he dedicated his long life. His defeat led him to isolation on Dagobah, a place far removed both physically and emotionally from the world he once knew. In that isolation, he may have nurtured hopes of redemption, of a final reckoning, but the weight of his mistakes and failures must have burdened him deeply, and I think we all tend to overlook this. When Luke arrives, he's not just any student to Yoda, he's the last hope, possibly the last Jedi. But Luke isn't the malleable child Yoda was probably used to training. He's a young man, full of doubts, impatient, and most of all, shaped by his own personal experiences, not as easily molded as a novice in the Order would be. Yoda's frustration is palpable. He knows Luke's potential, but he also has to contend with his rigidity, his impatience, and his lack of self-confidence. Yoda has to reinvent himself as a teacher, adapting his lessons to this new reality. He must convince Luke that the Force isn't just about physical abilities or combat but a philosophy, a worldview that requires faith and trust. This might be why Yoda starts with humor, to destabilize Luke and try to break through his resistance, making him realize that he needs to let go of expectations and preconceived ideas to truly learn. Additionally, Yoda himself is aware of the risk: Luke could fail, just like Anakin did before him, and this only amplifies the pressure. His frustration isn’t just that of a teacher watching a student struggle to understand, but also that of a person who, in order to save the future, must once again confront the mistakes of the past.

I know so many people have said this already and in much more coherent ways than I can but the way luke was depicted in tbobf (and im not just talking about the uncanny valley cgi… why did they not just recast him orz) makes me so frustrated even now. Especially now. Maybe i’m just a delusional dinluker but i really really believe that luke skywalker needed to be in the mandalorian season3.
I cannot believe luke skywalker would make grogu choose between his dad and becoming a jedi. It is just so explicitly ooc for him. I’m reading the destiny path comic right now and there are so many pages that show luke struggling with the worry that he can’t be a Jedi because he can’t let go of his attachments to his friends. and i know this is a core theme of luke as a character, it’s not new, but the comic is just so explicit about it and goes into depth in a way that it doesn’t have time to explore on screen
It explores luke’s worry about disappointing yoda when he left dagobah to go help leia and han in cloud city, and how he feels about ben and yoda refusing to talk to him anymore or help him through the force because he didn’t make his jedi training a priority above everything and everyone else, like a Selfless Jedi should. and grogu goes through the literal exact same thing. and luke reacts in the exact same way yoda and ben did to him?
In the comic, the radio silence from his teachers eats at him so badly and adds to the struggle he’s going through after finding out Vader is his father and losing his hand. He feels abandoned and afraid and, even though these feelings lead him to realise he can make his own way as a jedi, I just don’t think he’d inflict the same thing on grogu. Even if i were to look at it from a perspective of luke being forced to make his own way without his teachers made him a stronger jedi - so maybe he’s doing the same for grogu?
After all, I know grogu is such a young child so I also understand the series tries to come at it from the angle of respecting a child’s wants and needs, not forcing him to commit to training if he doesn’t want to. But I just don’t understand why luke couldn’t join grogu every now and then. Teach him some jedi stuff on the weekends. They make it seem like luke has nothing better to do anyways, he’s got droids building his school for him and seems to spend his days entirely with grogu anyway. If he went back to tatooine with grogu at the end of tbobf, i just think there would have been so much to explore between luke and literally any of the characters. din and boba specifically of course but if that led to luke in mando s3 there could’ve been so much potential.
Perhaps they just needed a reason for a big emotional scene for grogu to choose his path and his destiny. Perhaps they couldn’t put luke skywalker in the show too much for fear of throwing off the sequels. There’s the argument that luke already had his screen time and, trust me, I also hate the re-usual of existing characters to the point where they’re wringed out of any substance and have been so fleshed-out and developed it’s almost grotesque to force them to stay in the show any longer. but star wars doesnt have a problem with that for so many other characters anyway.
I just wanted to see grogu growing up to be both a Mandalorian and a Jedi. It would’ve been so perfect with the Mand’alor Din storyline too. Grogu, the son of the Ruler of Mandalore and the student of the strongest Jedi in the galaxy, the start of a new generation and so much foundation to explore between Mandalorians and Jedi!!!!!!!

A/N: Hello lovelies,
It's been a while since I have posted. Life has been one blow after another. Good news is that my mother is doing very well. I had COVID for two weeks almost, thankfully it wasn't too bad, but it did drain me quite a bit.
I don't write poly-ships, but I hope I did this request justice; also it's not necessarily a Jedi reader, but a reader who is force sensitive.
Thank you to the lovely @firstofficerwiggles for beta reading.

Luke wiped the sweat from his face as he ran through his drills, he couldn’t help but think back to his time on Dagobah, running through that humid and dense forest with Yoda on his back. The jokes his old master would share with him, the conversations they would have, and the wisdom he could impart.
Now, he was alone.
Sure he had his twin sister, Han, Chewie, and R2 but it wasn’t the same. They didn’t understand the responsibility of becoming a Jedi, and Leia all but decided she didn’t want this life. She wanted to raise a family with Han.
A family.
His eyes focused on the stars overhead as he lay down on the grassy field, the breeze cooling his body, as he wondered what would happen if he did have a family.
Someone to love.
Who was he kidding, it would be a pipe dream. Who would he even have a family with?
It’s not like he couldn’t find some random person to start a family with, but he didn’t want just someone he could pick up at a bar. He wanted to have a deeper connection. Someone who would understand the responsibility of being with a Jedi, and the issues a long distance relationship could have.
Family.
That one word kept him up unsettled. Not because of the responsibility but because of you.
He tried to push you out of his mind, clearing his thoughts so he could focus on his meditation, however now whenever he mediated and that word kept popping up, there was one face he saw. It was yours, and all the firsts you two had shared.
His heart began to ache when he thought of the last time he saw you.
The music from the Ewok’s impromptu party still filled the night air, he looked around to find you, he hadn’t seen you since he told Leia he was turning himself in to the Empire, only to walk right into you waiting on the next catwalk.
You tried to stop him, told him you’d overheard his conversation with Leia, that he was crazy and out of his mind for going to face Vader. He did his best to reassure you, but you weren’t hearing it. He did the only thing he could think of, he leaned in and gently kissed your cheek lingering for a few seconds longer than necessary. It was the sure fire way of making sure you stopped talking, he’d used once or twice to win an argument between the two of you. As you stood there, tears in your eyes, he wished you the best and left you standing as tears streamed down your face.
He spent a good portion of the night trying to find you, and now that he had found you standing away from the party, looking out into the forest of Endor, all the words in that moment flew out of his mind as he remember the first time you two kissed.
Turned out it was both your first kiss, you were both clumsy and awkward, however, it was special. A special moment that started the both of you through a journey of friendship and love that neither of you had expected.
You looked beautiful, standing there with a drink in your hand, your eyes shined even though they seemed lost and sad. He was glad he made it back. He didn’t want to have any regrets about leaving things the way they had before he went to meet Vader, but he also knew things might never be the same between the two of you.
He took a deep breath, calming down his racing heart, taking one step towards you, “I’m surprised you’re here” Luke’s voice called over, he could see how you flinched at hearing his voice, “I thought you would’ve been having a drinking contest with Chewie by now.”
You simply hummed an acknowledgement not bothering to turn to look at him.
He ran his hand through his hair, letting out a sigh, he could sense your annoyance at having him stand beside you. He leaned on the balcony doing his best to keep his distance without looking like he was keeping his distance, he just needed to appear casual “Still mad at me?”
Your hand clenched around the mug that contained some obscure liquor the Ewok’s made, it wasn’t the tastiest thing but it certainly had a kick, you took a sip trying to calm the annoyance in your heart. Taking in a deep breath, you closed your eyes and exhaled doing your best to let your frustration go. ���Let me ask you, what would you do if it had been me?”
“But it wasn’t you”
You squeezed the mug, “So because it wasn’t me, I have no right to feel anything?”
“That’s not what I said”
“Then what did you mean? I’m asking you to put yourself in my shoes, my friend … my partner or someone I thought loved me, goes to sacrifice himself, and the last thing you said to me was ‘I’m glad you’re my friend.’ Then you walked away. You didn’t turn back, you didn’t falter, you just left. If it had been me, wouldn’t you still be mad at me?”
Luke rubbed the back of his neck, “Yeah, I probably would be” he felt bad for leaving you standing there, “If there had been another way to save Vader, if it was possible for me to do it any other way, don’t you think I would’ve tried?” He looked over to you, hoping you’d understand his predicament.
A defeated sigh left you, you knew how much saving Vader meant to Luke. It was his father after all, what would you do for your family?
“I’m sorry. I know, I shouldn’t hold it against you. I know what you went through with Vader, and how much it meant for you to save him, it’s just …” You ran your hand down your face, “It just … you scared me. I thought I’d never see you again.” Tears began to well-up, “Do you know how much I love you?”
Luke stepped closer to you, resting his hand on your elbow, turning you to face him, “I know how much you care for me; it’s because I had your support I was able to do what I needed” his hand cupped your cheek, “I appreciate you more than you can possibly imagine.”
“Appreciate?” You clarified, as you stepped away from him, “You appreciate me?” You felt a nervousness rising, as your stomach fluttered, you could feel your heart breaking, “You don’t love me, do you?”
Maker how he wished he didn’t have to have this conversation, how he wished thing didn’t have to be this way.
“I … I'm the last Jedi, and with that comes a responsibility. If things were different, if I wasn’t my father’s child, if …” Luke took in a shaky breath, as he stepped closer to you again, “If I had the freedom to say what is pressing on my heart to say, what you are wanting to hear …” his hand caressed your cheek, “However, I can’t tell you what you want to hear. It’d be unfair and cruel, especially since I’m not able to give you the life you want. It’s my responsibility to train the future generations, to pass on the knowledge I have gained.”
You couldn’t believe what you were hearing, “What are you trying to say?”
His hand dropped to his side, as he took a minute to steady his nerves, he closed his eyes using the force to give him the strength of what he needed to do. He took in a deep breath before looking into your eyes, as resolve settled within his heart.
“We need to be honest about our future”
“Our future?”
“We’re heading in different directions, love. I can’t …” he cleared his throat, forcing the words to come out, “I'm not able to dedicate myself you. I am a Jedi Knight, like my father before me, my will is the will of the force, and you deserve someone who will focus on you completely”
“I don’t care what you think I deserve, I want you.” He could see how your mind was racing a million miles a minute to keep this from happening, “I can … I can help with training. I can provide support. I … I can’t …” your bottom lip started to tremble, as your eyes welled up, “I can’t walk away from you. I can’t …”
Luke wiped the tears that had slipped down your cheek, “I’m sorry. I wished things were different, but I can’t turn my back on the legacy that has been placed before me.”
You took another step back, you closed your eyes steading your nerves as much as possible, “I understand.” You did your best to fight back the tears, you were sure he could hear your heart breaking, “I know you’ll do an amazing job. I wish you all the best.”
His eyes opened as the rocks floating around him plummeted to the floor, maker how he regretted walking away from you. The next day you had left without so much as a goodbye, he didn’t blame you, after all it was his fault for making you leave.
Now, however, all he really wanted, was to see you again, to tell you he did love you. He never stopped loving you. Walking away, was the hardest and most painful thing he had to do.
He realized his mistake, especially after Grogu decided to go back to his Mandalorian, to have his family.

A Rogue One Everybody Lives AU where Chirrut and Baze end up seeing Sabine on a rebel base one day where she's trying to train with Ezra's lightsaber and just... not doing well. She knew how to use the Darksaber and she'd used Ezra's lightsaber to beat Gar Saxon, but something was just... different this time. Not quite as easy, and she's not sure why. Chirrut can tell she's struggling and, being Chirrut, immediately decides to go over and help. I like to think that both Chirrut and Baze would've probably trained other Guardians in combat sometimes, so this isn't exactly new to them.
Chirrut tells her to stop using the lightsaber for a while and has her go back to using a staff. When she keeps struggling and starts complaining, he forces her to wear a blindfold or a mask or something and she complains that she can't see. Chirrut responds with a totally shocked "Really? I hadn't realized." Sabine is rightly mollified by the gentle reminder.
Chirrut isn't gentle with her, but he's not harsh, either. He doesn't let her get away with being a brat, nor does Baze. He pushes her, refuses to let her wallow in her own feelings for too long. He asks her how old she is once after she gets snippy and when she tells him that she's in her twenties, he tells her he thought she was a teenager and when she responds with an indignant "I'm not a child!" he tells her to stop acting like one.
But he doesn't dismiss her, either. He refuses to just walk away from her or let her walk away from herself. He wasn't a Jedi, he's not Force sensitive, but he's learned to trust in the Force and believe in it. He knew the Jedi, he understood them, and he held similar beliefs and practices from his life as a Guardian. He can tell that Sabine is struggling with some emotion that she's refusing to face and, like Kanan before him, he knows she won't get anywhere until she acknowledges it and overcomes it. He knows she's better than this, knows she can rise above this struggle.
Eventually he gets her to admit that she's still grieving Ezra, still feeling guilty that she was the one who saw him leave to sacrifice himself and chose to distract the others so he could go, still scared that she won't be able to live up to the example he set and the responsibilities he left her with. Only once she's let it all out does he finally let her use the lightsaber again, and this time it doesn't feel quite as heavy. This time it feels more like she remembers it felt when she used it to defeat Gar Saxon so long ago.
And then Baze finds Luke Skywalker and brings him along because he's the only person around who also owns a lightsaber and can spar with Sabine. Sabine beats his ass because poor Luke has gotten next to zero training in how to use it and Sabine now has the chance to pass along some of what she's learned, both from Chirrut and Kanan before him. She doesn't just pass on lightsaber tricks either, she tries to pass on things she heard Kanan teach Ezra, sayings he would repeat every so often to bolster Ezra's confidence, the things he taught HER about facing her fears.
She also conveniently remembers an exercise Kanan had them do with Ezra where they threw fruit at him that Ezra had to block while standing on top of a moving ship and Chirrut and Baze think this is an EXCELLENT idea and are very happy to help set this exercise up for Luke. Luke is perhaps less enthused about it.
Sabine manages to remember Kanan saying "do or do not, there is no try" to Ezra but not knowing what it means and how she and Zeb thought that this was HILARIOUS and it became something of an inside joke between them (they never heard Kanan explain it better once he figured it out), so she passes it on to Luke who also doesn't get it. But then Luke goes to Dagobah and meets Yoda who tells him exactly this and Luke exclaims "Did every Jedi just go around saying this without knowing what it meant?" Yoda probably thwaps him with his cane for that. A few years later, he sees Sabine again after the Empire falls and he tells her that he finally figured out what it means. Sabine asks him to explain it and he tells her it's something everybody has to figure out for themselves. She nearly throttles him. Chirrut and Baze reveal that they knew what it meant the whole time but thought it was funny to watch the two of them struggle over it. Luke and Sabine form a truce immediately in response.
#star wars#rogue one#sabine wren#chirrut imwe#baze malbus#luke skywalker#inspired by some tags i saw on a post about sabine asking how she can fight if she can't see#even though she was literally taught how to use a lightsaber by a blind man#so i decided to give her another blind tutor just for the sheer hilarity of how chirrut would respond to that complaint#master chirrut au

Oh no, I’m participating in Star Wars discourse.
Uh, so there’s a post floating around that I’m not reblogging mainly because it’s just this person’s headcanon and, whatever, people can have headcanons, but the main points they make in the midst of talking about their headcanon that I’ll be addressing are:
Leia and Han getting married and having kids is the most boring thing you can do with Leia
Leia should be a Jedi like every other dang Skywalker because somehow continuing an assumed dynasty isn’t the most boring choice you can make for her
Leia is more cut out to handle lack of attachment than Luke which we know because of her lack of response to Alderaan being destroyed
Leia and Han shouldn’t get married or even be around each other much because Han is a wandering soul and needs to travel and go places
Leia never expresses a desire for marriage or children in the OT, so removing these things won’t contradict George Lucas’ canon
And, look, these are just…missing the point of the character growth that occurs in these two during the OT.
(there's just a whole-ass essay below the cut if anyone cares to read about the many thoughts I have on Leia Organa and Han Solo.)
So, I'm not saying existing or past canon/EU has done it right, but I disagree with the statement that having them marry and live kind of basic lives is the most boring choice. If that's all there was to it, sure, but those two choices by themselves show a monumental amount of character growth for both Leia and Han. (I mean, frankly, I think "Skywalker = Jedi every time no matter what" is a pretty boring choice storytelling wise, but I also think the Jedi on the whole are incredibly boring characters, so, uh...I'm biased.)
Leia was never going to live a quiet life even if Alderaan hadn't been destroyed. Like, she did not have that option, period. She would have either remained in politics or taken over as queen, may or may not have had to marry for political reasons, and may or may not have been involved with the Rebellion. Her life was chaos starting as a teen and she had no reason to believe she wouldn't die living a hectic and chaotic life.
And then she loses everything. This isn't emphasized in the movies obviously because they are fun family romps and not gritty dramas, but, good night, in a single second, she loses every family member, nearly every person she knows, every place she finds most familiar and comfortable, everything and to top it all off, the guilt that it's happened because of her unwillingness to give up the Alliance will probably always be there. She was tortured, they lost lives in battle, and, yeah, they destroy the Death Star, but at the end of that day, literally all she has left is the Alliance and those three pilots who managed to unlock her cell door without too much trouble.
I don't know about you, but I'd be straight-up shut down emotionally at that point. Like, I don't think PTSD even covers what Leia probably has going on in her head. And I think that's kind of what we see in ESB (I know the filmmakers weren’t thinking in terms of PTSD, but there are still hints of it there regardless). She's angry, she's afraid of losing people (she's obviously pissed Han is leaving after he said he'd stay, but also, there's a scene that was cut -- a good move in my opinion because the dialogue is beyond dramatic and Carrie seems out of it, but it stands that this was the intended source of Leia’s frustration -- where Luke is telling Leia he's leaving the Alliance for Dagobah and she is extremely upset that both he and Han are leaving, goes on a whole rant about how she should know better than to trust anyone but herself, etc.), and when she finally lets Han in, she promptly loses him and nearly loses Luke.
And then the events of ROTJ happen and she finds out that the man who tortured her, who stood idly by while her entire planet was destroyed, who tortured the man she loves and handed him off to the space mob to be murdered, who cut off her brother's hand and nearly allowed him to die, who has terrorized the Galaxy in general, that guy is her bio dad. And that guy is the entire reason she's Force-sensitive.
Leia stopping her Jedi training in the new canon was for a dumb reason, I agree there. Leia not wanting anything to do with the thing that, from her point of view, nearly ruined her life and the lives of those she loves about a thousand times over...I dunno, I think that's way more interesting than her just going, "Ope, I'm a Skywalker! You know what that means! Gotta be a Jedi!" And as far as her being more of a natural at it...do we know that Leia is better at healthy non-attachment than Luke? Like, any response to a planet being destroyed could easily just be a trauma response. Is shutting down like that good, actually? Or is it just going to cause problems down the road, Anakin-style?
I don't know, I just think that after living through all of that as well as a freaking war, girly might want a quiet life -- that she gets to choose -- with a husband -- who she gets to choose -- and kids -- who she gets to raise without the threat of the Empire or her nightmare of a biological father looming over their lives. And the very fact that she's able to open herself up to that sort of love and affection when the fear that it might all be ripped away from her is likely ever-present is a big deal. Her having kids knowing they'll likely be Force-sensitive even though that aspect of her biology terrifies her is a big deal. And as far as her not expressing a desire for marriage and kids in the OT...I mean, Leia isn't given the opportunity to express her desire for much in the OT, let's be real (she also never expresses a desire to become a Jedi in the OT either. We can't use what Leia didn't express in the OT to dictate whether she wants or doesn't want something is what I'm saying). They're at war. She's a military leader. She probably can't even hazard wishing for anything beyond waking up the next day. But that's not to say she didn't want such things or grow to want such things once she felt it was safe to do so. We literally don't know, but I don't think the absence of that expressed desire is indicative of anything.
As far as Han goes, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure in every iteration of his story, his itchy feet weren't like...a part of his personality. He had a highly traumatic childhood that left him with few options and ended up living a transient lifestyle out of necessity. He actually seems remarkably easy to keep around if you don't treat him like garbage. I mean, he's given exactly one day of friendship, and he sticks around with the Rebellion for three years before some run-in with a bounty hunter makes him realize he needs to take care of his debt with Jabba. He's not leaving just for funsies or because he's bored or just really needs to be a smuggler again...and he seems legitimately sad have to leave when he's not busy getting pissed at Leia for not having the emotional response he wants her to have (first half of ESB Han is being a big ol' baby and I'm perfectly fine admitting that). And what character growth to see Han "I'm in it for the money" Solo learn to care for his friends, learn to support a cause, learn to love Leia when he's spent so much of his life unattached. Han making boring life choices is indicative of character growth and learning to care about others more than himself. What a lovely thing for this man to learn.
The call for Leia and Han to remain living separate lives but still committed to one another kind of demands that they move backward in character growth in my opinion. We have two people who are in rough places due, by and large, to trauma, who eventually open up to one another and seem better for it and then they...just go back to what they were doing before except they occasionally see each other? Why would they want that? They've grown as people, they've won a dang war, and they're finally able to live somewhat securely. Why wouldn't they want to live basic lives when they were denied the privilege of such choices for so long? And how is them making choices based on their love for another person — love that they had a heck of a time coming to terms with — boring?
