I don't wanna hear shit, Luuke and Luuuke are sane and cool compared to...

The Suncrusher

Literally that thing makes me rabid with fury.

It makes me so angry I won't include a picture of it.

Merely speaking its name might haunt me and keep me from sleep tonight.

people in the star wars fandom: the sequels are so dumb and stupid i miss the eu, which was badass and cool and not stupid

More brainstorming of packing as much of my AU stuff into the same continuity as I can has led to the concept of a JAT rewrite, in which Kyp would still have to destroy Carida (despite the Suncrusher itself not being a thing), at least because his character later on wouldn't be very recognizable if not for that.

And it occurred to me that if the destruction of Carida's academies was enough of a strategic advantage for the New Republic, them going along with Luke's assertion that Kyp should live and work to redeem himself could be tied into some interesting political commentary about expediency vs justice or something like that.

Rose sat on the end of the large bed she shared with Finn. She held the pregnancy test in her hands— it was a positive. She was having Finn's child.

She loved him, and he her, but they'd never discussed having children. She had no idea how he would react. She hadn't ever put much thought into it for herself— but now, raced with the prospect, Rose liked it. She wanted to bring new life into the world, wanted to show the world a blend of her and Finn.

Rose rubbed her crescent moon necklace. Bringing life into the world was sacred in the Church of the Confined Crescent. It was an act of adding to the Force.

She set down the pregnancy test and heard the small ping alert made when the door to the Coruscanti apartment opened. She got to her feet and hurried out to see Finn hang his jacket on a peg on in the entryway.

"I have news," she said quickly. Rose was never one for formalities or pleasantries. They were a waste of oxygen, in her opinion.

"Well, hello to you, too, Rosie," Finn said, an amused smile on his face as he ducked down to kiss his wife on the cheek. "Missed you too. Had a good day at work? Me too."

Rose couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sorry. Hi, Finn. I missed you. I had a good day at work— you? Excellent. Now for the news—it's big."

"Did you make a breakthrough with Project Suncrusher?" Finn asked.

"Not exactly," Rose said. It suddenly felt hard to say the words, like they just couldn't come out of her mouth. "Finn, I'm pregnant. I'm having your child."

Finn's eyes widened. "That is big."

"Is something wrong?" Rose asked.

"No, no," Finn assured her quickly, and he embraced her. "I want to be a father."

Rose wrapped her arms around him, relieved that he was happy. "I knew we hadn't talked about it yet, and I didn't know if you wanted one—"

"I want to be a father," Finn repeated, his eyes sparkling with delight. "And I know you'll make a great mother."

Something about his face fell.

"There's something you're not telling me," Rose accused, stepping back.

Fear clouded Finn's face. "The Imperial Remnant is still out there, and there's been rumors, Rosie."

"Of what?"

"They're taking children again," Finn said. "There's been cases of kids being stolen."

"You're afraid they'll take ours," Rose finished. "Finn. . . I'm so sorry."

"I still want to have kids," Finn said. "I'm just afraid."

Over the years, Finn had grown more open about his myriad of fears. Rose knew just how to handle them. Brew a pot of hot chocolate, Luke Skywalker's special recipe, and sit down and plan for dealing with it. Every plan would have a contingency, every contingency would have a contingency. Rose kept a special datapad for these plans, right under her underwear in that drawer.

Finn and Rose, without saying another word, agreed to do so again with a single nod. Rose went to their bedroom and retrieved the datapad while Finn brewed the hot chocolate himself.

Rose picked up the pregnancy test. It indicated that their unborn child would be a girl.

If Finn wouldn't mind, she wanted to name their child Paige. It could be a middle name or a first, Rose didn't care— but she wanted her sister who had joined the Force in years prior to be remembered through her niece.

1920s:

"Childs restaurant menus listed calorie counts of dishes and added a “V” for vitamins beside any food that was particularly healthy. For breakfast, diners ordered Quaker Oats, containing “protein, carbohydrates, laxative ‘bulk’ and vitamines, plus toasty creamy deliciousness”; they doused their lunchtime steaks with “Snider’s, the vitamin catsup” while drinking Suncrush orange juice containing “all the vitamines and fruit salts so necessary to well-being.” Following an aggressive advertising campaign by the Fleischmann’s company, they sprinkled yeast into their ice cream sodas to counter “intestinal fermentation,” “unsightly skin infections,” and “civilization’s curse,” i.e., constipation. Even sugar was considered a health food, because it would give you the energy to survive the rest of the afternoon in the stenographers’ pool.

The 1920s marked the first decade in which science-based concepts of nutrition had an appreciable impact on American food habits. This was particularly true in cities, whose inhabitants had far more exposure to mass media, and mass advertising, than farm families. Up until World War I, most urban and rural Americans based their diet on tradition—if it was good enough for their parents, it was good enough for them—and on what foods were available in local farms and markets."

Criatura Artefato

Darius took the datapad, looking it over with interest as he grinned behind his helmet, appreciating the praise before getting to business. He scrolled through the data pad's contents, taking in every clue he could as he stroked the chin of his helmet.

The bounty was sizeable, showing how much trouble this shapeshifter had been for these Sith.

"A Clawdite, huh? Well, you're in luck," he said, making no effort to hide the smile in his voice. "You've chosen one of the few bounty hunters in the universe who can see through a clawdite disguise. Esverran Scourmen are uniquely adept at sussing out skin-deep imposters like Clawdites, and as a former Scourman, I think I can help you."

He paused at her description of what they stole and frowned deeply.

"What kind of weapon are we talking about here?" he asked slowly. "Are we talking about a bioweapon? A miniature death star? A suncrusher? What exactly are we dealing with? I mean, not to be that guy, but if someone's stolen the personal super weapon of a Sith, I'd like to know its parameters so I don't end up disintegrated like one of Boba Fett's marks. Beskar's good against a lot of things, but even Beskar doesn't make you invincible."

“what did you do, wake up this morning and say “today i’m going to ruin a man’s life”?” — Darius

His question did cause full lips to pull into a surprised smile. "It's not even noon yet and I've already ruined your life? I'm on a roll."

Working with Mandalorians wasn't something Talon did very often. There was a mutual distrust, though there was something different about this one. He was clearly not as vary of her as he should be and surprisingly respectful. It also helped that both of them had a similar sense of humour.

"All I want is for you to support me on that hunt. The mark will see me and keep running," she pointed out. Which would be smart of the mark but irritate her to no end, considering the species was a shapeshifter and Talon had already wasted days chasing them.

"It would be much faster if we work together and you'll be rewarded of course. I don't even care for the bounty." She was just following her Master's order and had no interest in riches or valuables. Her Master provided. All Talon wanted was the glory and the praise.

There was a challenge in her sulfur eyes. "Unless you think you don't have what it takes to hunt a shapeshifter? It's one of the hardest hunts after all."

Guess who forgot what the Starkiller Base was and for a wild moment thought they were keeping everything the same but just naming it after the protag from The Force Unleashed

if you try to tell me that stuff from the Star Wars books "isn't canon anymore" since Disney bought it and said none of this stuff counts, you get like, idk,,,,blown up by the Suncrusher or something. I do not give a single fucking shit what Disney billionaires say happens in Star Wars. Their shitty racist fucking movies designed to pander to self-hating misogynists do not fucking erase the decades of hundreds of books that exist lofl.

you think I give a shit if Disney billionaires say Mara Jade isn't canon anymore???? you think I give a shit if they try to say that fucking Jaina and Jacen aren't canon any more??? Really?? Do you even understand how stories work???

“A Starcutter?”

It sounded about right, at least, nothing else sounded better. Ren started pacing, her little cape rippling behind her as she turned. She knew Halcandrans could be a toss up when trying to get help, and suns knew what they were like here.

“So we have limited options then?”

It was strange, being offered help by the gremlin man. And they were starting to ask questions. Very well then.

“He, refers to my ship. You see, Suncrushers can have a degree of sentience, and mine just happens to be at a level that rivals being a living person. The only thing he lacks is kindness. That being said, he was the one that orchestrated this, undoubtedly. He certainly had the means to, anyway.”

She stops, holding her open hands out in front of Solah in a shoulderless shrug. It all sounded like madness, but really, they hadn’t chucked her in the loony bin yet. Still, she tried to keep it sounding logical.

“I can only assume he’s done something similar to the rest of my crew.”

Oh that sounds good.

Starter For @salesmeh

It was warm here, pleasant.

Her ears twitched at the warmth. At least, that’s what Ren thought until she stuck her tongue out. Immediately she was awake, the taste of heat and dirt and brimestone ruining her nap. At least, a nap is what she thought it was. Right now she’s realizing this nap wasn’t of her own volition. And she already knew what, well, who was behind it.

“No good hunk of junk…”

Her words dissolve into a mumbled stream of grumbling as she finally got off the ground she was on. She wasn’t sure she should have though. Turns out the ground she was on was a ledge, over a rather large, rather hot, river of lava. Too small for anyone other than her too, which was good and bad. It meant she didn’t know where everyone else was. Getting off the ledge wasn’t going to be easy either, the cliff she was on was more of a complete drop off, the only blemish on the stone was her little ledge.

“Thanks buddy. Thanks.”

She says to nobody, scowling at the leisure flow of magma below. Backing away from the edge, she starts looking for some means of getting away from the lava. Magic wouldn’t help here, there weren’t any plants here, and she couldn’t really float away either. She could only go so high off the ground.

She was stuck, like a cat in a tree.
