"Now that we've saved Omega and all the other clones and children... What do you think about staying here forever and raising Omega and any children you want? The galaxy can handle it without us."

     "I understand we've already sent you out before, Padmé. But due to your connections, you're the only one to have a double place and only got discovered when the Chancellor got close enough. We can avoid that mistake again, but I'm curious to see how the war is going. These clones, they're people, I want to see how they are holding up."

     Padmé had fallen silent for a moment, there was a pain she remembered all too well when she had returned. But those were personal matters that she would rather not think about, it was true, her handmaidens were more than capable of taking her place, given it was for a short amount of time. "I'll have to discuss it with the others first. I don't desire to put anyone in a situation they do not wish to be in." Bail nodded in agreement.

     "Once you have your answer, please inform me. I will be quick to get you a ship to head out and simply observe."

     With that said, Padmé left his office and made way for her companions. She already knew what the answer would be, but she wanted them to know it would not be the same as the last time.

-------

     She had been silent since she had boarded the ship, her gaze was turned towards one of the nearby windows as she looked out into space. It truly was something beautiful, it was something temporary to keep her mind at ease as she would soon be entering hostile grounds where honestly- anything could happen. But this was for observation purposes of how the war this far end was affecting clones, as well as civilization caught in the crossfire- that evolution would give her an idea of exactly what they could do to attempt to aid the people.

     Time seemed to fly quickly, and as soon as they had taken off, they were already beginning to land. She stayed put for a moment longer until she heard the doors begin to open, only then did she stand and head towards the exit. Outside, a few troopers stood nearby waiting to begin the on-foot transport. "Right this way. " She nodded politely, pulling a hood over her to cover some of her face. The sounds of gunfire rang in the distance, and the sound and smell of war were prominent. She could feel a wave of anxiety wash over her, the last time she did a mission like this- she found herself fighting alongside the clones, and as thrilling as it had been, she did not wish to endure a life-threatening situation again.

     The Commander spoke little, his eyes alert and tired at the same. If anything he was focused on the task at hand, bringing her and a few other volunteers to a nearby village. And he had done so, successfully. It was upon arrival that something... no someone caught her attention. Her heart felt like it had leaped in her chest, was that... Anakin? She knew as a Jedi he was called out to places like this, but due to their missions to cross paths seemed so unlikely, and the lecture she could already hear of taking up this mission. Curiosity, it pulled at her until her strings gave in and Padmé found herself slipping away from the group to follow a familiar figure. When she approached close enough she decided to take a shot in the dark, looking off but speaking loudly enough for only him to hear,

     "Anakin?"

I just want to see them bond :’)

True 😂

(P.s ……..why do they both have to be so damn beautiful 🫠)

oHO the complete cross-section image of the jedi temple. the leftmost corner is cut-off in the actual book. it's not really anything new but i demand completion if the completion has already been achieved.

- christian a piccolo

the room of 1000 fountains is supposed to be seven storeys tall (the lake level is five) & the way the cross-section sets it up is that the arcade that goes around the entirety of the temple (as can be seen in the whole cross-section) is also seven storeys tall. which works. it works with how the main entrance is seen in the films.

Something something """canon""" age difference, modern AU where Rex actually is a decade younger than Anakin

And for Reasons, 34yo Anakin and 39yo Padme have decided to invite this Hot Young 24yo Who Just Exited The Military into their bed for a quick romp that turns into something of a longterm relationship that is sortakinda sugaring

………….just realized this makes Rex only [checks math] twelve or thirteen years older than the twins.

Which is very funny to me. These tweens are so unimpressed by the GI Bill college guy their parents are wooing. Is this supposed to be their new babysitter? A nanny? Wait, he's your boyfriend??? EW.

Such a weird age difference to have with your sorta stepkids

Novel A New Hope Vader is my favourite Vader (so far) because he Is Anakin, he is everything Anakin is set up to be. He is intimidating, he is overwhelming, standing next to him feels like standing next to a black hole, he is-

The biggest little shit in the entire galaxy.

You canNOT convince me that he didn’t say half his lines with a shit-eating smirk. He is awful to be around, he is the worst person to ever exist, he is SO annoying.

And Novel Vader is so Anakin because the book can give us details the movie can’t. The book gives us the author’s choice of wording, the way the author intended the scenes to be, and Vader is such a little shit almost constantly but my FAVOURITE will always be when Tagge talks back to him about the Force, saying it isn’t as powerful or scary as he makes it out to be and Vader just-

“I find,” Vader ventured mildly, “this lack of faith to be disturbing.”

-the WORD CHOICE. The fucking WORDS chosen.

“Ventured”??? “Mildly”??? He is CHOKING this man!!! This man is DYING!! He is being such a little shit right now, this is it. This is the Him, this is Anakin Skywalker right here. He is using unnecessary force and being a bitch about it and there will never be anything that so perfectly encapsulates Anakin Skywalker than this fucking scene in this fucking novel.

On the topic and as a brief aside, the novel is what makes me think that Leia was planned to be Vader’s kid, or at least a narrative mirror to Vader, right from the start. She is also such an Anakin.

“Darth Vader… I should have known. Only you would be so bold— and so stupid.”

She just… also. Encapsulates Anakin. Like. Yeah. Yeah, this is what he could have been. He could have been a terrifying figure that people rallied behind. He is loyal to the death, as is Leia. She spits on Darth Vader while he’s having her dragged away. She mocks him to his face. This is the character that the Anakin Skywalker of future movies mimics. Her passion, her anger, her being a little shit and insisting throughout everything that it WAS a diplomatic vessel and they WERE on a diplomatic mission.

Leia is the first character to face down Vader in this novel and not show fear. She is the first character who refuses to submit in the face of the scariest guy in the galaxy. She continues to refuse to submit. She’s just. A great fucking liar.

Leia puts all her trust, her very life and the sake of the entire rebellion she’s fighting for, in a droid. An astromech droid. She begs for them to take the droid further, not for them to find her. She’s willing to die, and she trusts her death will not be in vain because she trusts a droid.

And that, if nothing else, is all the proof needed that Leia is what Anakin could have been.

@older-skywalker said: It was bad, all of it was bad, the wounds on his body, the plan Tech made, everything was bad… The bad batch got separated during the ambushed but Lexus and his Sargent Hunter they found a gave and Lexus laid on the cold ground groaning in pain "H-Hunter… You… You have to find the others..leave.. Leave me here" he groans in pain.

"With all due respect, General, but shut up. There's no way I'm leaving you alone."

Knowing how reckless Skywalker could be, Hunter always carried bacta patches with him. And they always came in handy when Skywalker got himself into a terrible state. Hunter pulled out bacta patches and covered all the general's wounds with them. His heart sank in pain every time he heard the groans of his general.

"There. You're good as new now. We just have to wait for the others to find us. It won't take long."

Rex has to Jedisit Obi-Wan for a day and makes him a nice and healthy meal and puts him down for a nap around Obi-Wan’s seventh attempt at getting caff while Obi-Wan is like ‘??????’ About absolutely everything. Rex thinks he’s a very well behaved and sorta stupid Jedi.

Cody Jedisits for Anakin and Ahsoka and goes through the SpaceBucks drive through to get them pupcups and let’s them crash on too much sugar after a few hours of annoying him. They are having the time of their little lives. Cody can babysit these idiots anytime.

[tennessoui]

what about some sort of buddy cop, same age, enemies to lovers au where obi-wan is a jedi and anakin is a coruscanti detective and they literally hate each other and have no respect for the other (obi-wan thinks anakin is a waste of the coruscant budget and a jedi wannabe; anakin thinks obi-wan is a pretentious space monk asshole)

(anakin has personally arrested obi-wan for speeding three times, drinking in public spaces 4 times -- the public space was a bar btw -- and indecent public exposure once. that last one was, tbh, fair cause obi-wan had his dick out in an alley way lol)

(obi-wan has literally stalked this asshole coruscanti cop off planet before and arrested him in his capacity as Jedi Knight for not using his turn signal when changing hyperspace lanes (once), for podracing betting (3 times), and for possession of a galacticly banned substance (twice))

it's not that they're obsessed with each other, it's just that something keeps forcing them together in the wildest, most unpredictable situations, and it's annoying as hell because they're completely fed up with each other

then the senate moves to have a new task force stood up to solve a series of Force-related crimes in the Coruscanti underworld. the task force would include a representative from the Jedi Temple and one from the Coruscanti guards, obviously. and really, obi-wan and anakin are the perfect choices! they're both highly intelligent, dedicated, trustworthy, and incorruptible.

if only they'd stop trying to push each other off the 51st story of coruscant and actually put their heads together to solve the crime

No one does the voices in the story quite like Uncle Obi.

Enjoy!

anakin and aayla childhood friends? Yes

If The Acolyte had gotten a second season, I feel like they would have revealed that the soul Mae and Osha share will become Anakin's after their story reached its planned conclusion.

It can't be an accident that Mae and Osha were so similar to Anakin, but just a little off because they were born wrong. Osha's struggle with autonomy and self-worth, paired with Mae's unhealthy attachment issues feel like pieces Anakin.

Sure it could be coincidence, or even the writers playing with previous dynamics, but they kept hitting us over the head that Osha and Mae were raised to believe that they SHOULD be one person. That they were born of the Force, but were born wrong because their existence was not of the Force's will. And the only way they for them to be right is to be one, but to truly be one they should have been born by the Force's will, and the only one who fits that description is Anakin!

The show was probably going to conclude at their deaths in a way that harkens Anakin's birth.

So, Your Child is Force Sensitive:

it’s a book written during the prequel era by some mommy blogger on a random planet. she’s got a set of force sensitive twin boys and she compiled her blog posts into a book all about raising force sensitives and choosing not to give them to the jedi temple.

the book is not super well known, it only ever sold maybe a few hundred copies, but it’s honestly really detailed. this lady did her research, but still is able to give her outside perspectives as a force null. she talks all about being pregnant with force sensitives, the babies special needs as empaths, the choice to raise them herself, interactions between force sensitives being raised together, the developmental checkpoints that are different from force nulls, and even how to deal with your moody and powerful force sensitive teens.

the book also talks a bit about jedi ideology and family structures (to help parents make the decision of whether to give the kid to the jedi or not) (it took her so long and so many space emails to the jedi to do that research)

the jedi themselves, however, are not too big of fans of this book because they think it’s probably for the best for force sensitive kids to be raised in the temple (and in some ways it is), but this mommy blogger advocates that with the right, caring parents and the right knowledge, force sensitive kids can do just fine being raised at home (and she’s also kinda right)

anyway, the book stays unpopular all the way up until order 66. then the book gets super-duper banned with all the rest of the reputable information on force sensitive people and the jedi. the mommy blogger stops posting. her and her now adult children drop off the map. her small (but devoted) following has no idea if they’re ok or even alive, but they go to great lengths to erase all of her personal information off the holonet if they can.

the galaxy keeps turning, and the mommy blogger stays missing, but sometimes her book (the few copies not destroyed) will end up in the hands of people who need it. people like bail and breha organa, owen and beru lars, kanan jarrus and hera syndulla, and even eventually din djarin.

even luke skywalker gets himself a copy when he’s suddenly responsible for having his own little force school. (at one point, din is reading the chapter on letting go of your kids when they leave the nest, while luke is simultaneously reading the chapter on how to calm an inconsolable youngling)

a lot of the research into how the jedi work and their ideologies are actually way more accurate, relevant, and recent than any of luke’s other ancient jedi texts, so that’s how luke’s jedi order rebuilding efforts become mostly built on one chapter of a book written by a middle-aged, force null, mother of two.

this mommy blogger may have started her blog just to document her journey in raising her twins, but she ended up writing a book that would help raise a generation of force sensitive children who had no jedi temple to turn to. her honest care spread farther than she could have imagined.

still, nobody could find out where she and her twins went, even after the fall of the empire when it was safe.
