#with caleb as the inquisitor

[acesofspade]

pov: you are caleb widogast and cannot even focus on the crimes you've been accused of communicating because your accuser is pretty:

This Drow had silvery-white curls styled in a coif, the undersides shaved down to a scant inch. That drew attention to the rather sharp point of their ears, which were adorned in delicate silver jewelry that hung from the lobes like shooting stars. Their cheekbones were high and defined, making them look dramatic. Their eyes, hyper-critical and analyzing everything about Caleb, were a violet-blue shade, a striking contrast to the cool indigo tone of their skin. They had a fractal design, all sharp lines and angles, seemingly tattooed over their right eye, approximately the size of Caleb’s hand. It reminded him of an Elven Valaslin, a metallic silver against the Drow’s skin.

“Beauregard,” the Drow spoke, a delicate hand of caster’s fingers appearing from underneath their cloak that reached over to their companion, as if to block her from stepping forward. They had a lovely voice, melodic and calm, with an Orlesian accent; it would make sense. After the Exalted Marches on the Dales, the Drow had avenged their kin by overthrowing the Orlesian Emperor and taking control of Halamshiral, returning it into the care of the Elves. The Emperor had been replaced by the Bright Queen, a terrifyingly competent and powerful ruler.

“Likely story,” Beauregard scoffed, turning to the Drow. “Essek, I’m headed to the forward camp to talk to the chancellor. You deal with him,” she said, turning to leave the cells. Essek. The beautiful Drow’s name was Essek. Something about the name stirred something in Caleb’s chest, but he shoved it away for later as Essek guided Caleb to his feet and led him outside. 

He scanned the area around him, spotting a mage’s staff nestled amongst the rubble just as more demons appeared. Caleb dove for the staff, picking it up as Essek produced their own staff from somewhere under the cloak. Essek’s staff was stunning, even more beautiful than the Drow themself, which was an achievement. The shaft was made of braided deep purple wood, from the Vermaloc trees that grew in certain areas of the Deep Roads. The grip was simple black leather, wrapped around six inches of the shaft near the balancing point of the staff, allowing Essek greater control of their movements. Atop the staff sat a strange dodecahedron made of a combination of Nevarrite and Serault glass, seemingly filled with swirling purple and blue magic. The blade affixed to the end of the staff consisted of three prongs, one twisted one down the centre and two curved blades on either side pointing inwards. The blade was made of matching Nevarrite, adding an extra six inches to the length of the staff. It must have cost quite a lot of money, though with the quality of Esseks’ clothing, it was nothing to them to pay for a good staff. Caleb was envious; he wasn’t sure when the last time he’d actually owned a staff was. It was easier to pass himself off as a beggar if he didn’t carry a staff, so he had to rely on staffless casting if he found himself in a position where he needed magic. Even having an Acolyte staff was a step up for Caleb, a focus for the magic bubbling under his skin.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDIE PRINZE JR!!!

[imaginative-joy]

A collection of random Jedi Survivor sketches because this game has consumed my life and sketchbook.

Imagine bby Cal and Kanan/Caleb both being little Ahsoka fanboys

Cal in an Imperial officer suit > Inquisitor Cal

That whole Nova Garron segment is so stressful... but I couldn't help but think of this when Cal was walking around in disguise XD

The love of Cal's life after Merrin is bacta spray

Ezra, answering the phone: Hello?

The Grand Inquisitor: We have your father.

Ezra: ...Yeah you must have the wrong number, my dad’s dead.

Grand Inquisitor: Oh my bad, have a good night.

Ezra: You too.

Ezra:

Ezra, calling back: WAIT DO YOU MEAN KANAN-

[sadmages]

you know what if dreadwolf doesnt have a war table maybe it'll be good

[sunnyxjarrus]

Little angry finally on the finale of season one of rebels (I say as though I haven’t seen it a million times already) and the inquisitor is talking about how Kanan ran and says “how would your crew feel if they knew their leader was a coward”(paraphrasing but the words in color are direct quotes) and it’s so stupid because Kanan was 14 a literal child and he followed orders from his master

[peashooter-908]

“Billaba's emphasis was always on form three, which you favor to a ridiculous degree. Clearly, you were a poor student.”

honestly I like rebels more now after rewatching it.

[movietimegirl]

It's crazy that so many events happened during Order 66 when looking back.

Stay The Black- Chapter Seventeen: The Devil's Garden Part Two

"The others shield their eyes but Cal stares straight at you, eyes wide. He rises slowly to his feet and no one notices because thank the Living Force, the lift is moving, though it chugs and stalls slowly at first. Cal steps off the side, drawn to you like an insect.

You’ve become a force of nature, a great equalizer that reduces everything around you to ash. A force that is quickly spreading from one side of the massive cavern to the other, toward the elevator shaft where your friends and allies are making their escape.

Looking up at you with solemn wonder, Cal hears his own voice in his head, echoed from the past. “I want to see the fire inside you grow and consume everything. Absolutely everything. I want to get burned up in it.”

Maybe you thought he was joking. "

Rebels Season 1 Rewatch

Let's start off with Rebels being an awesome show. It was a major part of my life ever since I was 14 (which was when Season 3 came out), and I remember actively checking the library website daily when Season 4 came out, desperate to reserve it or get on the waitlist for it as early as possible. It was the first show I was immensely invested in, and as such it holds a special place in my heart. So, I decided to (FINALLY) rewatch it after all these years, and wow am I not disappointed

I've always defended Season 1, saying it's not as bad as people say. Sure, it's got a lot of issues, and it's definitely not the best Rebels has to offer, but it's at least good. I think I underappreciated it last time I watched it though. The show is clumsy, but only because it fails to balance being a kids show with being a deep show with complex themes like the Clone Wars did. Each individual episode was good, everything built up to a satisfying finale, and characters were fleshed out really well. I can't really complain too much about it because quite frankly, it's only fault is experimenting and trying to be something amazing

But, there are two changes I would make to Season 1 if I got to redo it. And it's worth noting that neither would change the overarching plotline, and most episodes would remain as-is, they're more minor changes that would've had a much stronger impact

Ezra Isn't Kanan's First Padawan

This is the biggest change I would make. Kanan has renewed hope by the start of Season 1, and he's fighting hard, so it would've been cool if we had the show hinting at a former padawan prior to Ezra. In Episode 10 "Path of the Jedi" when Yoda and Kanan talk, have Kanan admit he's scared of failing Ezra like he failed his other padawan. Leave the other padawan's fate ambiguous of course, so you could potentially bring them back. Likely as an Inquisitor for the Ahsoka show so that you don't have to use an animated suit of Inquisitor armor. This would add so much depth to Kanan's pain and trauma, and it would add a lot of gravity to Ezra's training for older audiences, but for kids it would just be a cool fun fact about Kanan's past

2. Kanan Taps Into The Dark Side

In Episode 15, we get the finale, "Fire Across the Galaxy". Ezra saves Kanan, and the two end up facing off against the Grand Inquisitor. This is an epic Star Wars battle, and it shows off the Grand Inquisitor's power, as he defends against opponents on either side of him. He gives Ezra his iconic cheek scars and knocks him off the platform. Ezra's fine, of course, but Kanan (and maybe a couple of audience members? But that's a stretch lol) believes Ezra was killed.

K: "That was a mistake." GI: "Why? Because you have no one else to die for you?" K: "No, because I have nothing left to fear."

EPIC leadup to Kanan tapping into the Dark Side, but instead the show squanders their opportunity. Kanan is stronger than ever in the Light Side, and instead of the Grand Inquisitor being killed in a fair fight at his full power, he's killed by his own failure to recognize the flaw in his lightsaber design. It feels unsatisfying when rewatching it. I wish Kanan tapped into the Dark Side, calling upon it for power, and using it to destroy the Grand Inquisitor. I wish Ezra witnessed that, and saw the darkness within Kanan, yet still chose to learn from him. It could be a cautionary tale for Ezra, who now understands what the Dark Side is, and in early Season 3 when Ezra taps into the Dark Side himself, and when he talks to Kanan about it, have him say something like "I understand why you used it. It makes sense now" or something

Conclusion

Rebels Season 1 is amazing and heavily underrated, but it fails to balance it's themes efficiently, which pushes more mature audiences away and damages the show way more than it should

If you have yet to watch Rebels Season 1, please give it a chance, and continue on to the end of Season 4

[allanalightwood]

i'm gonna be honest w/ y'all. i didn't know that kanan jarrus was caleb dume when i started rebels (which was like three days ago). like- the only reason i found out was because i was scrolling through instagram and there was a list of the jedi that survived order 66. and there was a picture of kanan, and under that was his name: caleb dume. so like i started that episode where the inquisitor said that kanan trained under jedi master depa billaba and then like mind blown. LIKE WOAH. WHAT

[aaeeart]

okay so it WAS a little ambitious to think I could finish this in a day. two will do 😖

I was rewatching Fire Across The Galaxy and wanted to join in on the Kanan whump.

This can be both a canon compliant missing scene from the ep and part of the Inquisitor!Kanan AU, fits right in in both <3 interpret as you wish!

[stealthetrees]

Time travel au where all the Jedi wake up in Attack of the Clones after dying. The ones that died sooner just walk it off like it’s a weird dream. Everyone who died in order 66 is confused but maybe it’s a vision? Most of the inquisitors either panic or run to the nearest mind healer and burst into tears or trauma dump. Caleb Dume/Kanan is absolutely convinced he’s dead and this is the after life and no one can convince him otherwise. Obi-wan Kenobi sees smol Anakin and goes ‘shit just keeps happening huh’.

Ashoka Tano is disturbingly wise and knowledgeable for a youngling. Cal Kestis jumps up from class, yells “not today satan” stabs his crechemaster and jumps out the window (he thinks he got caught by the empire and drugged or something), he steals a ship and makes it all the way to Bogano and picks up BD-1 before Cordova find him getting his ass beat by local wildlife and drags him back to Coruscant. Cere is doing her best to comfort Jaro Tapal but he’s not reassured that Cal jumps out of windows all the time.

Plo Koon and Shaak Ti are scheming to get their sons back. Anakin is busy having a breakdown. Grogu just keeps asking for his Buir. Yoda, always ready for drama, let’s Caleb tell him all about his life and his family, asks what his padawan would want him to do. Caleb thinks about this for a minute and nods to himself. He builds a pipe bomb and duct tapes it to the bottom of Palpatines chair. And steals all the credits stashed in his desk.

[incorrect-jedi]

The Grand Inquisitor: *talking about Ezra* Is that your kid?

Kanan: No, that would be weird.

Grand Inquisitor: It’s weirder if it’s not your kid.

[sadmages]

Cannot believe I won a very hard fight first try only for gale to die permanently and emit his little toxic death farts, instantly killing anyone who tried to revive him, thus killing the whole party. What a guy
