Imperial High Prince Skywalker and Darth Amidala

Another early draft of cover art that caro and I have been working on since we finished posting ‘warrior’. <3 These two are only one part of the final cover, so I wanted to share a higher-quality version.

(Sidenote: I’m absolutely in love with the way Phil Noto draws these two. For reference, here are links to both originals.)

Currently obsessed with the Force memory block from Eclipse... AU where Luke willingly agreed to have one placed, for some reason or other? (I may or may not be morbidly curious at all the ways it could fuck up his identity once the block gets removed)

Here we go!

Luke is trying to live a good life, working in a team with Han and Chewie, with no memory of what came before. But when a shadow stalks him and threatens all that he's built with them, he has to confront what exactly it was that he ran away from.

“You took a while getting here,” she observed. “Considering the implicit threat.”

“I didn’t get an implicit threat,” Luke said, ignoring the fact that somehow he’d known what was going to happen, the moment he sensed her blood-slick presence following him across the rooftops. His hands didn’t shake on his blasters. He was used to showdowns—just not showdowns quite this intense. “And I was being careful.”

She laughed under her breath. “You’re a reckless bastard,” she said. “You’ve never been careful a day in your life.” She sounded like Han, a comparison that briefly seemed so absurd that Luke had to huff a laugh himself. She raised her eyebrows but seemed… pleased… by the sound.

Her gaze flicked up and down him: his blasters, his castoff clothes from Han, his too-small boots that pinched his feet even as he stood there. “Look at you.” He didn’t appreciate her tone: it was half-sneer, half-tease. She had all the intimacy of a childhood bully. “A smuggler, scampering through Hutt Space. Is this what you chose?”

“I didn’t exactly have much of a choice,” he said carefully.

Her tone flattened into something as smooth and sharp as glass. “You had every choice.”

Some of you are too afraid to admit this but we all know Star Wars works best when it goes full soap opera

STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH CAME OUT 19 YEARS AGO!!

[incorrectstarwarsquotess]

Anakin: We need to stop leaving the Younglings around the Jedi Elders. I asked Ahsoka how old she’s turning and she said, “if the Force allows me to see it, 7 in June.”

New/Updated ‘Warrior’ Cover Art - Chapter 4: Family

At long last! This latest retroactive chapter cover art has taken me longer than I anticipated, mostly due to a persistent injury/ailment I’ve been grappling with over the past month since we posted the final chapter. (Though I did share an in-progress preview pic a little while back.) Mild expectation spoilers for that chapter ahead!

Technically, Chapter 4 was the second time I ever posted cover art alongside a chapter of ‘warrior’, though making the cover art chapter-specific didn’t come until later. At the time, I figured I’d make a new ‘warrior’ cover every few chapters for the fic writ large. That changed around Ch 6, and it’s been a neat process to go back and fill in the gaps, or to focus in on the actual chapter contents in a more zoomed-in way.  For comparison, here’s the original cover art posted with the chapter:

With the new/updated/chapter-specific cover art, I wanted to narrow in on what ended up being one of the most memorable/thematic scenes in that particular section of the story: the holocall with Han and Chewie in Leia’s chambers. (A scene that, perhaps interestingly, wasn’t in the original early 2/3 draft of the fic, but was instead added in because I NEEDED it to exist so bad before it felt like the story could proceed to its conclusion. 

Visually, Din is reduced to being seen through a screen -- much like he is in the chapter, when Luke spies in on him and Grogu by way of security footage, hearts in his eyes and utterly uncaring of the fact that Din wouldn’t appreciate the invasion of privacy. A Mandalorian conceptualized as tamed in some base sense -- but also, somehow, taming.

I honestly fucking love how the picture of the twins turned out. Both originals are drawn by Phil Noto, and holy fuck can that man draw these two in a way that just. SPEAKS TO ME. (Here are both originals.) In particular, it feels wonderful to be able to ‘see’ Leia from this universe; I’m so wildly grateful at the fantastic base art to work from. 

Thanks to @universeinorbit​ for their continued incredible beta skills (including ART beta skills, incredible job recolouring/resketching Leia’s clothes so that she’s consistent with how she’s dressed in the chapter), and to @lovey-dovey-and-sad​ for her great feedback during the cover art creation process. Big thanks also to all readers, commenters, and supporters of the story -- it truly means the world!

I see your Padme as a force ghost in her flowing funeral gown with flowers in her hair and i raise you, force ghost Padme in her hospital gown.

Since early childhood Padme has always been painted and decorated and a lot of that comes from Naboo’s culture. But as someone else put it, there’s an intense kind of body horror in a 14 year old girl repeatedly having to change outfits and put on heavy makeup and wigs while her entire planet is under seige.

For that to continue into death feels unfair to her. Let her be in her bloody hospital gown with sweat plastering her hair to her forehead and red swollen eyes, tear tracks down her cheeks. Let her not have to maintain her image after fucking dying. Let her be angry and bitter and want people, want her husband to see her pain.

Let Vader look at his wife’s ghost and see that although she didn’t die directly by his hand, she still suffered and she’s not trying to hide it from anyone.

[betyoudidntcatchthat]

friendly reminder this is anakin skywalker talking to his wife’s best friend, one of only 3 people present (bail, obi wan, yoda) at the birth of his children and the death of his wife, and the eventual father of his daughter

also, he will watch as this man’s planet blows up while bail organa is on the planet…while restraining his daughter

[fellthemarvelous]

You ever think about the fact that part of the reason the Rebellion was able to take off was because the 212th and 501st didn't do their due diligence during Order 66?

The 212th didn't actually bother to check if Obi-Wan was dead because "no one could have survived that fall".

The 501st allowed Bail Organa to run off after witnessing them murder a Jedi youngling instead of killing him. Jedi sympathizers were supposed to be executed on sight just like the Jedi, and Bail was the Jedi's strongest ally in the Senate.

Not to mention, the 332nd Company all died without successfully killing Ahsoka because Rex disobeyed Order 66 and they were able to survive with each other's help.

Obi-Wan spent the rest of his life watching over Luke from afar and Bail adopted Leia. Ahsoka became Fulcrum and operated as an informant for the Rebellion. Captain Rex was part of the strike team that liberated Lothal and part of the Endor strike team that helped destroy Death Star 2.

Not sure if this has been asked or not, but how would canon Luke and Leia react to meeting your au versions of them?

omg I'VE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE AN INTO THE LUKE-AND-LEIA-VERSE FOR AGES thank you for kicking me into doing it
