#obi wan thoughts

[wowifinallywatched]

The room is dark.

Stormtroopers either side, guarding the little princess that is much more powerful than anyone suspected.

Until suddenly a blue light is sheathed and attacks before they can come to terms with what is happening.

Obi-Wan has an immaculate entrance and kicks their ass in the dark.

That's it. That's the post.

Got inspired, made something, hope you enjoy.

Pretty accurate if I do say so myself.

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.

quick codywan sketch before bed 🦶🏻

Kenobi series where everything is the same except Cody is there helping Obi-Wan cause he just happened to show up after Bail called. They have to think of a cover story which goes smth like:

Obi-Wan: “We need a cover story. We’re farmers from Tawl, you’re my brother and we’re looking for our niece who was kidnapped.”

Cody: “That would never work, we look nothing alike.”

Obi-Wan: “Do you have a better idea?”

Cody: “Yes, we are parents looking for our lost daughter. Much more believable.”

Obi-Wan: “We’re married?”

Cody: “We’re married. Now start acting like it, my love.”

So, anyway, I've come back to ramble about Obikin after all. I just got this gif back on my dash and I have thoughts about it

This gif.

I'm obsessed with it actually. We got both Anakin and Obi-Wan sopping wet. Obi-Wan's hair is the most disheveled we've ever seen. Not while he's doing flips and avoiding death no no. But now. Alone with Anakin. In a glorified pool.

I know they made out in the water. I know it. Obi-Wan's hair is like that cause Anakin gripped it to kiss him.

And talking about Anakin? He's flirting outrageously. Look at him. He's smiling so coyly, eyes twinkling, basically egging Obi-Wan to "come get him". Him looking down at Obi-Wan? Pure sexual innuendo. And Obi-Wan immediately looking around just to check he can follow Anakin to fuck continue their mission?? He wants his boy so badly I just know it. The face Anakin made while he lifted himself up is probably the same he does while he rides Obi-Wan's cock.

Obsessed, I tell you.

Saw a screencap from Perfect Blue and I wanted to draw it with Obi-Wan

Smth about bloody feral obi-wan contrasted with the in-universe propaganda of him...

Ref under the cut

The “Jod Na Nawood is Obi Wan’s son” theory is funny cause that would mean Anakin Skywalker’s children are the seemingly put together Jedi figures and Obi Wan’s kid is the dumbass menace to society

Can I be honest for a second and say that one of my biggest fanfiction pet peeves is when someone will write their character or the reader insert as someone who should in theory be really badass (for example a Jedi or a Mandalorian, or an Avenger, or a soldier/fighter in general) and then make them really weak and basically not be able to handle themselves at all? Like come on realistically these mfs should be able to kill someone. Maybe this is just me being a girl who isn't girly, but I just want a character like this who can actually defend themselves and doesn't cry and need to be picked up by their s/o all the time.

my piece for @thecodywanzine! thanks to the mods who let me go completely ham and cheese on this bad boy. this one's about living longer than you ever expected and not knowing what to do with it

[riyo-soka]

The Organas and the Lars family are all well aware that the children they’re raising each have a sibling somewhere in the far reaches of the galaxy. They can never say anything, since Luke and Leia would be in grave danger if the truth of their heritage were to get out, but sometimes the twins’ adoptive families can’t help but think about the other child that they will never know.

Breha notices her daughter’s title causes her to struggle with finding companions her own age and wonders if that loneliness might have been lessened had the twins never been separated. Sometimes, she imagines taking Leia’s brother by the hand and introducing him to the people of Alderaan as a beloved member of the Organa family just like his sister.

Beru starts stitching a family tree -a tradition among slaves and former slaves on Tatooine, meant to bring together families that were separated by slavery- but struggles to finish it when she realizes it’s too dangerous to include her niece. After the war, Luke and Leia create their own, and Leia displays her connection to the Lars family line like a badge of honour.

Bail is always concerned about Luke’s wellbeing somewhere in the back of his mind. The Lars family are supposed to be good, hardworking people, but even under Obi-Wan’s protection, Tatooine is a hostile place to live: especially compared to a temperate core world planet like Alderaan. Since he is unable to directly intervene so far out in Hutt Space, his contacts within the rebellion are occasionally tasked with checking in on the state of things in and around Tatooine’s settlements. On the occasions where Owen and Beru found themselves struggling to put food on the table, an off-world traveller would soon arrive offering to pay handsomely for something like mechanical help or a ride to Anchorhead.

Owen tries not to dwell on what-if scenarios and focus on keeping his nephew safe, but raising a force sensitive child -much less a force sensitive child of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala- is stressful on the best of days. When people in town murmur under their breath about how odd the Lars boy is, he worries. Both that the empire will take the whispering about Luke being odd seriously, and that the little girl Obi-Wan told them about when he arrived with baby Luke hidden under his cloak might be put in danger by those same whispers.
