#to quote palpatine

I've been spending some quality time with Photoshop, because I (we) need logos for, ahem, Sauron Appreciation Society and Human Halbrand Defense Squad.

This is not, final, just the first draft (and just in case, the picture is from Adobe Stock, I can't draw something like this), but I am not happy with it yet. I feel like I need to redraw the picture - the Eye has a weird shape, for example (I can draw a bit, and reworking an existing one is easier than coming up with my own). And maybe I should ditch the background, or at least the clouds. Huh.

I am interested in any ideas for improvement you might have; and also - if you have an idea for the Human Halbrand Defense Squad, I'm all ears! Hammer and anvil, maybe?

Anakin being so unhinged he's no longer connected to the doorframe + bonus:

Padme: *comms Cody* Hey.

Cody: Hey.

Padme: Is your husband missing his eyebrows, too?

Cody: Yeah. He won’t tell me why. I think he got too close to one of Anakin’s experiments.

Padme: Yeah. Mine is crying that his precious curls got singed.

Cody: Amazing. Thanks for the info, I’m going to go hide his tea.

Padme: Fair. Good luck.

"The visual script [of Revenge of the Sith] shows the moment where 'burnt' Anakin is rescued by the Emperor—whose gesture echoes that of Obi-Wan touching Luke's forehead in Episode IV."

So the sheer number of allusions between Lucas's work on the prequels and the original trilogy is so satisfying to me. His whole philosophy of "it's like poetry, it rhymes," influenced the prequels on both a macro- and micro- scale. From mirroring themes and large structural choices, to tiny visual beats like this. The prequels are in open dialogue with the originals, and imho it's different from how the Force Awakens recycled and reused story beats, it's not mere reference out of nostalgia. It's very intentional and the meaningful connections that improve both sides of the conversation by virtue of the link.

Commander Fox: Alright, who broke my favourite mug?

Cody: It wasn't me.

Rex: I would never do that.

Wolffe: it was probably Cody.

A little while later...

Fox: I broke it. I saw Emperor Palpatine using it, and so I immediately destroyed it.

I'm rewatching The Clone Wars, just finished "Clone Cadets."

Shaak Ti observes "The one they call 'Echo' never adapts to the situation," and she's right at that point; but I couldn't help but immediately think of (insert "Spongebob Hmm" meme)...

(Okay, the above was a little shaky, but he recovered very nicely...)

Add in Hunter and Crosshair both being all "Echo will come through" and "Relax, Echo's on it" and I'm just LOOK AT MY BOY!!!!! 🥹😍❤️

Palpatine: Would you guys be there for me if I was going through something?

Bail: Nope.

Dooku: No, absolutely not.

Yoda: Hope it sucks, I do, whatever you’re going through.

Maul: I hope it emotionally scars you for the rest of your life.

Mace Windu: I hope you reach out to me so I can ignore you.

Fox: I can’t wait to go to your funeral knowing that I could have changed that outcome.

[incorrectclonewarsquotes]

Shiny Thire: Commander, can the Chancellor sign this bill.

Fox, shaking his head: Listen shiny, you'll have to learn to forge that musty meat bag's signature. If you sign it from the start, you'll be able to sign whatever you want, and those bureaucrats we'll never know. Too busy kissing ass to give a flying kriff.

Shiny Thire pulls out a pen: Like so?

Fox: You'll make a fine guard on this polished turd

Cody: *pinching the bridge of his nose* General, I /know/ you know how to use a blaster-

Obi-Wan: *guiltily* yes.

Cody: I have even seen you use them in practice with the men-

Obi-Wan: correct.

Cody: And yet. You threw it.

Obi-Wan: …yes.

Cody: …why did you throw it?

Obi-Wan: Well. You see-

Cody: oh god-

Obi-Wan: Palpatine was a Sith. He expected a lot of things from that fight. Maybe he expected to turn my sweet baby Anakin-

Cody: Ew-

Obi-Wan: -on us and use him, maybe he expected me to come at him with a saber, maybe he expected me to shoot him.

Cody: So you didn’t think he’d expect you to throw a blaster. You couldn’t have even chosen a granade?

Obi-Wan: Listen. He could have thrown one back at us. The force said throw the blaster and grab my sweet baby Padawan out of dodge and let Fox knife him. It worked!

Cody: Force give me patience so I don’t strangle my ven’riduur-

Obi-Wan: *perks up* So we’re still engaged?

Cody: You aren’t getting rid of me that fast, dikut.

Commander Fox: Excellent halloween costume, your majesty. I can see each disgusting wrinkle from here, and those revolting yellow teeth. Wow, Who ever did your makeup is talented. Emperor Palpatine, in tears: I'm not wearing a halloween costume... Commander Fox: that's rough buddy. Oh well, try not to scare any kids.
