happy may the 4th! remember the true spirit of star wars - fight fascists, punch nazis and never give up hope.

and as always, free palestine.

The only person who has a worse time on Mandalore than Bo is Din and the two dingbats keep insisting on going back.

I would be overjoyed to know anything you want to tell me about the happiness AU because It Sounds Delightful

Oh it would be MY PLEASURE to share about it!! Thank you so much for asking, friend! Some fun facts for you

(edit: just so y'all know, none of this is actually published. If you have questions about why, feel free to ask me!)

Kanan, Hera, and the rest of the Ghost crew work finding Force sensitive children and bringing them into the Order

This is how they find Ezra, more or less. Chaos is involved

Obi-Wan and Satine are high key married, and have a kid. The Council doesn't know about this yet, but Obi-Wan is planning to retire once he's done training Leia

Kanan still gets blinded, but it involves Maul, a stolen ship, and lots of explosives

Ezra gets framed for murder one time

The Ghost crew meets Jyn and the rest of the Rogue One crew when Ezra and Jyn get captured by a group of slavers, and when both crews comes to rescue them, Jyn punches Kanan in the face cause she thinks he's one of the bad guys

There is a fic called the Mandalore Scandalore (can't take credit for the title, I found it on Pinterest somewhere) and the plot is pretty much just "how many people can I make wear Mandalorian armor also Anakin and Bo-Katan pick fights constantly. And Hera's the only brain cell"

I accidentally predicted Kanan working with the Bad Batch like a year before it actually happened and I'm way too proud of it

There's a scene where Hera goes to visit her family and takes Kanan with her. They're not in a relationship yet technically she just wants him to come with. That is not what her parents assume

[coruscant-clickbait]

thank you for everything, and may the force be with you.

[one-last-pickleback]

Din knows how to keep the spice alive in a relationship which is why he's always getting captured.

Claiming Obi-Wan was 15 on his year on the run on Mandalore feels like just another Scandalore cover-up attempt.

Star Wars and the Holonet

We all know the hilarity of Scandalore and Coruscant Clickbait but...

Can you guys imagine an AU timeline, where all our favorites are alive and everything is good and jolly? And the paparazzi is everywhere?

Like - the Jedi Council becoming masters of decpection, because seeing a Jedi out and about on Coruscant is worth so much? (Bonus if it's one of the Skywalker's or Ahsoka Tano or Mace Windu - he never leaves the Temple).

Anakin and Obi-Wan constantly trashing each other, selling the most ridiculous stories for credits. Their respective partners spending far too much time talking to news outlets and smoothing things over?

Everyone eagerly witnesses our favorite Senator and Jedi knight with their kiddos (which must have their faces blurred out, because Padmé will not have her children's image plastered all over the Galaxy). Photos of the two kissing in public quickly become worthless because they do it so frickin often

Obi-Wan and Satine, on the other hand, rarely hold hands in public. Photos of them being within ten centimeters of each other are worth a fortune.

Quinlan often adds fuel to outrageous rumors - whilst doing some ridiculous stunt. "Yep, Anakin and Obi are in love. Master Windu is really a Sith Lord. We keep our ancient texts on Mustafar. Darth Maul is immortal. There are Force-sensitive droids. The Clones are really Jedi younglings that were never chosen as padawans."

It becomes Galatic scandal when the Jedi remove the 'ban' on marriage. Also when Korkie says casually, "Yeah, Kenobi's my dad. Next question?" Now that's a fun one to explain to the Council.

There are tours of flagships, because everyone is so curious to see the ships that helped protect so many planets during the war. There are also interviews with very uncomfortable clone troopers - though Fives loves it and trolls everyone else. (Because he didn't die :)

When Leia becomes a Senator (she represents Tatooine) everyone is appalled how much of a temper she has. She looks like Padmé, yes - but she is certainly Anakin's daughter. Every guy she dates becomes newsworthy, especially when Han Solo comes into the picture and refuses to leave.

Everyone tends to forget about Luke, though he's usually beside Anakin or Obi-Wan, quietly observing and only speaking when it is necessary. There's a video of Chancellor Mon Motha jumping and yelling at Luke, who was convinced to sneak up on her at a state dinner. No one knows who convinced him (it was Yoda).

Mara Jade and the Emporer's hand kids are eventually discovered, and it shakes the galaxy to the core. Sidious sympathizers drop significantly, escpially when Mara teams up with Luke and spreads the tales of her upbringing.

But there's a dark side too, because everyone is so intrigued by the Jedi and associates. They have virtually no privacy. So the Jedi counteract this, talking passionately about ending civil wars, tax reforms, women's/species rights, putting an end to slavery, breaking up sex trafficking. (Anakin and Aayla are the ones most passionate about the last topic, for obvious reasons. Depa, Shaak, and pretty much every female member of the Jedi Order are soon to follow.)

Tatooine is the first planet to be completely liberated.

A good chunk of Mandalorians realize they're Force Sensitive, and it's delicious irony when they come crawling to the Jedi for help.

Jedi outreach programs begin on Outer-Rim planets, providing education to those who would not have it otherwise. Former Separatist planets help with these, as they respected the Jedi and their education program (because Dooku always seemed so well-educated).

What else did I miss?

[one-last-pickleback]

Mom's minivan is more practical than Dad's 2 seater coupe.

i remember all the complaints about how din's n1 doesn't have enough room and clearly their solution was to have din ride around with bo in her sensible soccer mom suv.

Scandalore Drabble

So @forcearama 's Scandalore au is beautiful and I wrote this triple Drabble set in it. Planning on more to follow. Obi-Wan awoke contentedly, lying next to his wife. She was already awake as she tended to be on the mornings he had to leave early, which was, come to think of it, practically all of them. “Good morning dear,” she mumbled contentedly as he began to get up. “Good morning. I've got to be getting back to Anakin.” Satine sighs at the reminder. “When are you going to tell him?” “Soon, soon. But he’ll tell the Council and I can’t just leave them, not in the middle of a war.” “I know, darling. I'm just so tired of this.” “Me too.” Obi-Wan left the bedroom and walked down the hall to the room Korkie stayed in when he was here. He always stayed there when Obi-Wan had come to visit. He entered the boy's room, smiling when he saw the teenager sleeping contentedly. He brushed his hand over Korkie’s hair and smiled. “Dad…” Korkie mumbled in greeting. “I have to get back to the ship, Korkie. Good morning.” “G’d morning.” And with that Korkie drifted back to sleep. Obi-Wan quietly left the home, making sure no one saw him. A few people knew the truth, over the years of keeping it secret, but he’d prefer not to be seen by anyone as he left. He made it back to the ship, and headed through the hallways. Most of the clones were asleep at this time, and besides, if he were caught it wouldn't be as bad as it would be on the planet. He could simply explain he hadn’t been able to sleep and took a walk. He didn't notice Rex shaking his head at how obvious the general was being. But Rex wouldn't tell. General Kenobi was one of his generals, and he wouldn't ruin his life for him.

imagine a Clone Wars episode/arc where a criminal is hired to dig up dirt (real or imagined) on the Jedi so they're expelled or fall out of favor with the Chancellor or something but like the investigator/criminal gets inVeStEd "what do you MEAN Windu has never taken a day?? in his Jedi career?? someone teach this man SELF CARE" "what do you MEAN General Kenobi would have left the order for Satine Kryze??? and they haven't seen each other in over seven months?? do I NEED to wreak havoc on Mandalore so you can get thee to her, ginger-in-chief?" "what do you MEAN Yoda's apprentice fell to the dark side? what absolute madman does that to a liddle green bloke?" "I have a bad feeling about exposing any of General Skywalker's private life... as in... imperially bad feeling... I think he needs some blankets and maybe calming herbal teas" "boss I'm sorry Commander Tano has done nothing wrong in her life ever"

@asokatanos reblogged your post:  #anakin's letters are all basically tweet length #they're full of meaningless things and small reminds like #To The Esteemed Duke: you should wear armor more often. also pls buy more blue milk we're out #Obi wan takes to space snapchatting these letters and the whole of Jedidom loves reading them 

#some cheeky padawan (it was totally ahsoka but she'll never admit to it) PUBLISHES them #space twitter is born - 140 character limit like anakin's longest letter #the space twitter logo is house kryze-kenobi's coat of arms #padme and satine are off getting drunk together and lamenting about their Most Extra husbands #bail organa joins them for several of these soirees #anakin and obi wan are not invited

AHSOKA STARTING SPACE TWITTER IN THE WAKE OF SCANDALORE. Obi’s marriage and dukedom being responsible for space twitter is the Most accurate!! 

ofc obi’s honorary husband bail gets invited. every time him and breha are on Alderaan being Happy and Enjoying A Well-Deserved Vacation, obi wan pops up on the holos with another new scandal, and Bail is suddenly drowning in 40392 space emails bc he’s one of the v few politicians obi listens to. 

Bail’s twitter is like. god tier re: follower count. All he does is subtweet about how Trying (but ultimately v v fun) his friendship with obi is 

[one-last-pickleback]

Leia and Han were such a toxic horrible couple. They fought all the time. They barely supported each other. They didn't last because of it and yet people idealize that couple.

Anakin and Padme... Yikes. He was obsessed with her and it wasn't love at the end.

Star Wars not having a healthy love shown was one of its worst characteristics and such a sign of bad writing. A galaxy that vast and no one has a healthy love? I really appreciate how low key Din and Bo are and how they are partners first. They support each other. And other than Din getting captured every 5 seconds like the damsel he is they aren't a cliche couple. It's very Leslie and Ben from Parks and Rec vs the volatile (and unhealthy) relationship of Ross and Rachel. It's a healthy love, of people who aren't perfect but are trying to be better and have a love to help them along the way.

If it's not your kind of ship that's fine, but it doesn't deserve the hate.

The Mandalorian: Gives actually good written relationship that doesn't fall into cliché tropes and instead promotes good values such as your companion shouldn't be your everything, but they should make you better person than you already were on your own; Is a slow burn with development over not one but two seasons, the characters are rich in backstory, going through their redemption arcs, and who they are now is an effect of the guilt they carried for decades. This all makes them one of the best writing partners (romantic or not) in modern live action Star Wars.

DinBo haters in DinBo tag: This is the worst writing I've ever seen because I projected that Din is ace/gay/hates her/is her brother/cousin and Bo-Katan is lesbian/his sister/Grogu's wine aunt/terrorist/whatever.

Just go out and touch grass, y'all chronically online.

Oh!! Mandalore Scandalore (*chuckles*) for the ask game!!

Oh you're probably gonna like this one!! Okay so it's set in this Order 66 didn't happen series that I will never publish (I'm writing it for fun and my friend who I lost a bet with) where Kanan and Hera are working together (with the whole Ghost Crew of course) to find Force sensitive children!

But anyways Hera and Sabine go to Mandalorian because they've heard a rumor that there's a Force sensitive child there (hmmm who could it be what a mystery it all is). However, they get there just as Gar Saxon is making an attempt to steal the throne. Chaos ensues, and Sabine and Hera barely escape, with the help of Bo Katan and the Protectors

However, they lose contact with Kanan, and he is NOT too happy about that. So he, Ezra, and Zeb sneak onto Mandalore, with the help of Hondo Ohnaka, and kinda end up helping Bo Katan rescue her sister and reclaim their throne

It's basically like a happiness au mashup of Heroes of Mandalore, Trials of the Darksaber, Legacy of Mandalore, and my own weird ideas. There's some background Kanera, background Sabezra, and of course there's some Obitine! Oh, and Bofenn. And Anakin Skywalker getting bossed around by Hera Syndulla. And Obi Wan getting Mandalorian armor/befriending the Children of the Watch

[coruscant-clickbait]

lives were changed

[one-last-pickleback]

The slowburn wasn't Din/Bo it was Din finally claiming Grogu as his kid.

[coruscant-clickbait]
