yes there's a lot of things to criticize about Star Wars but one thing i will always love it for is being so unabashedly tragic
i'm sure it's been said before, but one of the main things i think powers the SW fandom (fics in particular) is the (in)evitability of it all
time travel fix-its are one of the most popular sub-categories of fics that i've seen (for the prequels at least) but i see it much more rarely in other fandoms. i know each fandom has their own niches that they dig into but star wars fic writers took one look at this decades long story of people who were doomed from the start and said 'not in my house bitch'
and i'm never tired of it, because there's so many places where just one different action could have changed the story entirely, but didn't
was it over the moment Palpatine succeeded in feeding Anakin's fears and his distrust toward the Jedi? the moment the Sith gained control of the senate? what about when the war started, when the Jedi were made generals of men designed to be their executioners? what about when Dooku left the order? when Qui-Gon Jinn died, leaving barely-knighted Obi Wan Kenobi to raise a child he had no idea how to care for? when the Jedi massacred the Mandalorians at Galidraan, leaving Jango Fett primed (hah) for revenge? when Palpatine, and thus the Sith, first gained influence? when the Jedi were tied to the Republic, all the way back at the Ruusan Reformation?
there are so many little moments that turn into this huge web of cause and effect when you take a step back. and in canon, these characters are dooming themselves while we watch, but what reason do they have to do anything different? they don't know they're in a tragedy - its dramatic irony at its goddamn finest
but there's this thing about decisions: for it to be a choice, there has to be another option. and our heroes make their mistakes because that's what they do, while we aren't privy to that other option, leaving that little what-if. it's a favorite human pastime, to think about what might have been.
we start at episode 4, though, fourty or so years after what you could arguably call the start, and find ourselves watching the dominoes fall in place throughout 1, 2, and 3.
and we can hate the choices, hate the tragedy, hate what happened to our beloved characters, but we knew. we had the luxury of knowing.
it's a love story, it's political intrique, it's sci-fi at its finest, and they were dead from the start.

Girls girls girls
First recap was ok, but I'm in the mood to draw characters and I wanted to do a proper lineup/height charts (and then promptly drew maul in heels and Padmé on tiptoe..... I am a genius)
[COMMISSIONS]
[PART 1] - [PART 2] - [PART 3]
Rambling below vvv
It's always so temping to dress maul in white, and I once again caved kflodkd
Also ! I always draw her pre tpm, because it's a) the time in her life when I see her wear silly/'extravagant' outfits the most (can't really do that when you're a half dead giant spider eating rats in a garbage world fkldodi and after *that* I don't think her spirit is really into accessorizing and wearing cute fits- still a slut tho) and b) mechanical limbs are hard to draw and a pain to render (one day I will draw her old I swear !)- but ! All this to say : she stay "small" even after getting bisected ! The bones are staying in the pussy !! Let her be short, then a spider, then short once again but this time with cool metal legs :)
I usually draw Padme all serious, but she can't be all business like when frolicking in a field with her dumbass girlfriend and I think drawing her silly healed a bit of my soul <3 (also took liberties with the yellow dress design- wanted to make it a bit my own and I kind of hate the original faded yellow ngl)
For Obiwan and Anakin, I wanted them in civilian clothing because Jedi outfits are a bit boring (for what I'm doing here)- but I also wanted to stay in the same color scheme as their Jedi's outfit (and I ended up swaping them because I wanted to see obiwan dressed in black kxkdldk). I am very proud of Obiwan's outfit !! I think it fits her, while staying relatively in character :D and next to her you get no rizz butch anakin :)))
I'm having a lot of fun making these :D even if this rendering style takes so fucking long- next up is either Palpatine, Vader, Dooku, boba fett or leia, han, lando, chewie (and maybe luke, we'll see)
PS : I have never watched the 3D clone war show, this is mostly based on the movies :)
#maul really is my muse kfldkdkn I always end up drawing her in flamboyant outfits and have so much fun doing it#and then I have to dress Anakin and oh god what do I do-#being fem presenting means I have easier time coming up with fem outifits-#more masculine ones are harder for me but that's why I'm practicing !!#star wars sapphic au#anakin skywalker#obi wan kenobi#padme amidala#darth maul#anidala#obimaul#lesbian#star wars#star wars fanart#star wars prequels#art#my art#digital art#fanart

Obi-Wan loved working with the little ones, they were so sweet and full of curiosity in the force, not to mention that they were as cute as could be and that went double for little Grogu. He wished Master Yoda would requisition a hover pod for the child so he didnt have to struggle to keep up with everyone, but Master Yoda said it was good for him, it kept his little legs in shape. Something he would need as he matured and grew into a jedi, "So tell me my little green friend, how are you fitting in around here." Obi-Wan asked making conversation with his little charge for the day.
@universeofmuses continued from here
Grogu giggled when Obi-Wan used the force to levitate him along with him. He couldn’t resist raising his little hands, pretending he was flying. He observed their surroundings with interest, it was fun for him to see it all from a different height for a change.

I feel like Anakin is a very "I love you" and horny drunk.
It's Obi-Wan's turn to try and beat him off with a stick...
Usually it's the other way around.

Setting loose the bunnies.
My at times overactive mind and crazy muse love to let plot bunnies loose in my brain (often at the most inconvenient times). Many times it's just a single image, an idea or a scene and admittedly, I love it. It gives me the opportunity to play with plot ideas, twists and little stories, occupying my brain with something positive. But I also get frustrated because so many of them never become anything more than that, plot bunnies that I collect but rarely share because I'm possessive about them, even though I know full well that I will most likely never write them. Any way, a dear friend (looking at you @barmadumet) suggested I ‘let them loose’ and see if they can find life on their own, that maybe there were others who could be inspired by them, which I admittedly would love. Developing and playing with plots is truly one of my greatest joys and I wish I could find more people willing to play this game with me. So I'm going to do just that, share some of my plot bunnies by writing a short outline and then setting them loose in the hope that they might run wild and free, and if I'm really lucky inspire others. I would of course love to help develop, or just plot play, and if anyone would like to take up an idea then please let me know so I can cheer you on. Below is a list of some very short plot ideas, and if anyone is interested in knowing more about what they might entail, or just want to tell me about what ideas they give you, if any, drop me a message.
Other more detailed plot bunnies will get their own post, so keep an eye out for #setting loose the bunnies. Have fun, plot freely, wildly and without inhibition.
* To have one last day with you. This one is a bit sad, as it is Obi-Wan dreaming about what he would do if he had just one last day with Anakin. It is inspired by Nik & Jay - En Dag Tilbage * Ghost Ship. In a big galaxy, there must be some abandoned ships, space stations and other deserted places floating around. This one is definitely Halloween themed, and I have both the movie Ghost Ship and the first Alien movie in my mind when I think of this bunny. * Padawan mayham. Time travel is always fun to play with, and there's a particular joy in sending our boys back and forth in time in an attempt to fix something, but this craziness takes it even further. So now imagine that shortly after Obi-Wan takes Anakin as his Padawan, a thirteen year old version of himself shows up but he's not alone, a lanky young version of Qui-Gon is with him, followed by a scowling young Jedi who has an uncanny resemblance to Count Dooku, but most mysterious is the young man who has no idea where he is and looks startlingly similar to Anakin. * Impossible love. AUs are entertaining and fun to play with, but this one is just a tiny idea, partly inspired by LOTR. Elf prince Obi-Wan falls for human warrior Anakin, knowing that their love is impossible. * The boy and the ghosts. This is a sad story with the potential to become a deep, long and convoluted story, but it could possibly also taken another, more humorous direction. Anyway, both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan die on Naboo, and little Ani disappears, taken by Maul and Sidious. However, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's tries to look after him as Force ghosts. * Seeking comfort. My muse came up with this idea of the disaster lineage having a tradition of seeking comfort in each other's beds. They are all part of an unusual lineage and loved each other even after they fall apart, there IS a special bond. It began with Dooku and Qui-Gon (not sure how) and ends (maybe) with Anakin and Ahsoka seeking comfort during the war before everything goes to hell. This one I think has the potential to be sweet fluff, or hot shameless smut possibly heartbreaking hurt/comfort, so take your pick. * The Pact. There's this ancient pact between the Sith and Jedi that dictates that in every generation, or for every hundred years, a couple from each order will be selected and united to keep the peace, working together to maintain the balance. * R2D2 knows all the secrets. This is canon in my opinion, R2 really knows ALL the secrets. This little droid has been there all along so it makes sense. But get this, what if Luke, after inheriting it, discovers that in its memory there are recordings of intimate moments between Anakin, Padmé and Obi-Wan? My naughty muse imagined him getting inspired and sharing some steamy moments himself with a certain princess (unaware that she's his sister) a snarky good-hearted scoundrel. * First kiss. Soul mats are a wonderfully cheesy theme, and can be so sugar sweet, devastating or deliciously complicated. So what if it's not until the first kiss that a soul mate is revealed. Then imagine that a master and padawan only realize they are soul mates the moment the master is mortally wounded... But then it is later revealed that the young boy with incredible potential they found on a desert planet is their third soul mate (because I make the rules and of course you can have more than one soul mate)

What would they have done with all the bodies of the Jedi who died on Geonosis?
There were 187 of them. Seems like too many to take back with them for funerals on Coruscant.
Did they build the funeral pyres right there in the arena? Above the bloody sand? As the red sun of Geonosis set, was there a great pillar of smoke, that all saw, and all fell silent at? Did the clones stand guard above them, and around them—protective rings of an honour guard, tall and straight in the shadows of the coliseum, silent, watching, learning?
And the clones who died? There were thousands. Did the Jedi ask, what their custom was, only for the clones to respond that it didn't matter? Did they quote the Kaminoans: "In water you are born, in fire you die, your bodies seed the stars"? Did the Jedi glance at each other, and nod, and quietly begin leading the clones in building their own funeral pyres? I wonder if they questioned the clones stripping the bodies of all weapons or armor that could be reused.
But in the end it was all the same light, all the same smoke. Mingled together into the night sky.
Did Obi-Wan and Anakin and Padmé all stand together, with their bacta patches and pain-blockers, silent as stone while the orange light flickered over their faces? Obi-Wan with the silver tongue, and not a word to say. Anakin half-blind between the ache in his body and the ache in his heart and the ache in the Force, which were all one and the same, only feeling Padmé's hand in his, and Obi-Wan's arm braced around his waist. And Padmé, torn between fear and defiance, despair at war with her hope, because her nightmares are alive, and she wants both protection and to protect, so she holds Anakin’s hand, and sets her jaw, and holds her eyes open until they burn.
Maybe that was what it was like.

It’s very hard to take care of a newborn. Especially when their mother just died and you think you killed their father.

One day, Bail Organa receives an ominous message on a communicator that had been agreed upon never to be used for anything other than emergencies.
Urgent: Shadows converge on our binary suns. Eclipse imminent for one. Halt essential. Aid required swiftly.
For seven years doom had crept around the corners of Bail's conscious awarenes; always whispering, always taunting, always fearing. Somehow he is still illprepared for it to suddenly coil around his throat.
His shirt collar feels infinitesimally tighter. Bail takes a breath, he holds it, he releases it.
"Bail? Is something wrong?"
Time to lay all his cards on the table. He nods, shakes his head, then pauses. Yes something is indeed wrong, but it's nothing he can divulge any details on, despite being on his own fleet.
"Take your ship to these coordinates and do everything you can to retrieve and protect what will be placed in your care. It's of utmost importance. Do you understand?" he says, placing the communicator with its entered coordinates into Ahsoka Tanos' outstretched hand.
Fulcrum doesn't even hesitate. She nods. This is a mission like any other as far as she is aware. Nothing she's learned indicates any connection to Ahsoka Tano.
Yet.

crossover AU idea: star wars× hunger games
The Republic has fallen, and the Jedi have been eradicated. In order to maintain control, the Empire needs to find a way to keep force sensitive children from becoming too powerful, and keep the planets of the Empire under control.
To do this, the empire maintains a list of all force sensitive children in the Empire. Every year, a lottery is drawn for two champions from each planet, to be taken to an artifically constructed arena to fight to the death. Most of these children have no training in the force, as doing so would be punishible by death for not only the child, but everyone involved. The winners are taken away from their families forever, to be trained in the dark side of the force by the Sith emperor and his apprentice, Lord Vader. The champions become soldiers, and the Empire finds a certain joy in breaking them down until nothing but anger and fear remains.
For years, the Empire has subjugated countless planets, revelling in the continued murders of these children and extermination of the Jedi. But secretly, on the remote outer rim planet Tattooine, a young boy named Luke Skywalker has been learning about the Force from his old friend, a recluse named Ben Kenobi. When the unthinkable happens, and Luke's name is drawn, he prepares to head to the Capitol of the Empire to fight for his life, and the lives of everyone he loves. But what will happen to luke when he learns his father, the great champion Anakin Skywalker, may not only still be alive, but may be someone he will have to defeat in order to survive?

obikin au where obi-wan is a writer and anakin is the main character in every novel he writes. everyone is a fan of anakin skywalker, the ruthless pirate who hides a heart of gold and shows it only to his beloved who he only sees once a year; everyone is in love with ani sky, the secret service agent who is desperately in love with his boss and is the only reason he hasn't left a job he despises. everyone cried when the chosen one was forced to let his one true love die because the fate of the universe demanded it so.
obi-wan has become a household name writing about anakin, making millions with every book he sells. no matter what, people seem to love anakin in any form and shape he takes and obi-wan has made a fortune of that love.
but what people doesn't know is that, hidden in obi-wan's house, deep where no one can find him, anakin is an actual muse, one qui-gon (obi-wan's mentor and father figure) kidnaped years ago and entrapped in his house after a writer's block nearly drove him to ruin.
(or an obikin au based on calliope's episode of sandman)
#obikin#obikin au#anakin skywalker x obi-wan kenobi#anakin x obi-wan#anakin skywalker#obi-wan kenobi#muse au#anakin can’t be normal about obi-wan#so he’s not entirely ‘trapped’ against his will

Obi-wan smiled warmly at the little green creature, he loved working with younglings the best, the older padawans from his experience were always predisposed to some sort of attitude and or stubbornness, not that he was thinking of his former Padawan.
At Grogu’s chime of confirmation Obi-wan chuckled lightly and used the force to levitate the little green creature gently and led the way to one of the terraces, it was a beautiful day and what he had in mind for training today would be perfect for being outside.
To Ben from Grogu: “ You scared me. ” @alongtimeago
“I’m terribly sorry, my young friend, I assure you it wasnt my intention.” Obi-Wan apologized to the little jedi youngling. “Now, how are you doing today? Are you ready for today’s lesson?” he asked Grogu ready to work with the little jedi.
