Accidentally mentioned to coworker I used to write. I meant to only say “I used to write” but it came out as “I used to write fanfiction” and she suddenly was very interested in my stuff. I told her that fanfics are like writing in a diary. If she was some anon on the internet it would be fine, but in person? I have a reputation to uphold.

-glances at my desk with figures of the bad batch, 501st, droids, pops, advice books from various Star Wars characters, two different bad batch wallpapers on each monitor, my slack profile name set to CT-1409-

Yeah. Reputation. Very strong. I’m definitely a 31 year old adult that spends their adult money on adult-responsible things.

“Oh my god you’re a writer? Can I read your stuff?”

Star Wars Kid was a critical juncture of the early web, and we chose the timeline where the web is a tool for mockery and bullying, instead of shutting that behaviour down in 2003 and blacklisting any "comedian" who considered him fodder for jokes.

Regular people can perhaps be understood though not justified for not realising how big the audience was they were mocking someone in front of; talk show hosts have no such excuse.

POV ur Commandant Sobeck watching the citadel's camera feed

[grilledsquids]

delighted to listen to a nine year old discussing his thoughts on star wars. his dad’s been introducing him to the movies in release-date order, and they’re now halfway through The Force Awakens. here are his hot takes:

- best movie: phantom menace. qui gon and obi wan and yoda and anakin are all really cool.

- worst movie: return of the jedi. it took too long to save han solo; jabba is gross to look at and slave leia was weird to watch, ‘and they call it PG!’

- best characters: luke skywalker. anakin skywalker is second-best because he becomes darth vader. (this was very disappointing to discover)

- best villain: darth vader (even if he’s anakin). but dooku was also very good. palpatine is ugly.

- favorite jedi: yoda.

- biggest complaint: it would be better if anakin wasn’t darth vader. and, why did they kill padme? she would be a better vader. they should bring back anakin for the new movies. no, not as a ghost, just bring him back.

a single mom padmé idea that’s been living in my brain lately

[ note: the clothing inspiration for these designs were taken from bedouin, tuareg, iranian, and saudi arabian references, as well as the original tatooinian designs + padmé’s nieces in the aotc cut scenes. i wanted my version of tatooine to more accurately reflect what desert cultures look like in the real world and just be more practical in general ]

deeply fascinated by these kids living in a peaceful suburbia on a seemingly equally peaceful planet, which is surrounded by something called the barrier, which makes the night sky look green and is thick enough that it obscures the stars, and so when they get up to space and see how many stars there are, they have no idea space actually looked like that. and then they travel through hyperspace for the first time and it understandably freaks them the fuck out. there is definitely something weird about this planet they live on, and i am all for the real horror story being this suburban bubble they live in that wants to shield its citizens from the wider galaxy.

After seeing your headcannons for the merrical kids, I’m curious about why BD-1 is not allowed to babysit?

The JA books and subsequent woobification of padawan Obi-Wan have people overlooking a key fact, which is the innate ability of all 14 yr olds to immediately lock onto your deepest insecurities and fucking eviscerate you. You look at TCW Obi-Wan's bitchiness and tell me he did not have this ability but dialled up to 11 cause he's also a psychic force-sensitive.

I fully believe padawan Obi-Wan was terrorising Qui-Gon, the reason that man's always running ahead and leaving his padawan behind is because he's avoiding having to explain his life choices to the galaxy's most judgemental teenager. Initiate Obi-Wan is aggressive, padawan Obi-Wan is passive-aggressive.

So like, y'all know that popular Star Wars fic trope of Time Traveling Obi-Wan Kenobi where he dies and then wakes up in his 11ish year old body back in the Jedi Temple? You know how usually he wakes up, has a few minutes/hours of confusion, and then goes about trying to act like he was at age 11 while slowly fixing everything wrong with the Jedi Order? Personally I think he would not do that.

I think that Ben "Lived As A Wizard Hermit For Two Decades On Tattooine, Left, And Then Died Immediately" Kenobi would wake up as an eleven-year-old, have a panic attack, attack the nearest adult Jedi while accusing them of Doing Weird Sith Shit To His Brain, fucking flee, only then realize he has time traveled, steal someone's ship, go flying out of the temple to god knows where, continue panicking, crash into a random moon while distracted, nearly die, build a survival camp out of his broken ass ship and eat whatever bugs he can find, get kidnapped by pirates, overthrow said pirates, steal their ship, and then very calmly return to the Jedi temple like nothing happened.

Then and only then do I think he would start trying to act like a normal human person (while also dodging questions such as "what the fuck was that" and "where were you" and "is that a pirate's ship?"), except he'd be bad at it due to having lived as an Insane Wizard Desert Hermit for the past twenty years who has experienced enough trauma and time that he doesn't super well remember the details of his childhood, what with all of the wars and death and wars and such.

His acting convinces nobody, but nobody is sure what exactly to do about All Of That so he's for the most part left alone (after very vehemently refusing sptherapy), all the way up until he catches a glimpse of palpatine out of the corner of his eye and then its On Sight
