The easiest way to describe it is a musketeer one-shoulder cape. (Or a formal one-shoulder cape) The strap for it would slide under the sword strap so you can't see it.
The coloured gems are balls of yarn, (I can explain how that works if you like) They sit above the belt, like basically float in front of it. (using magic) - Hence the name weaver
(He uses those for 'everything', they each represent a member of the chain) (The one floating behind him for example is Sky's)
I am perfectly happy to infodump about this man if you would like me too he brings me joy

Ive never considered putting him in anything apart from his hero tunic. My man is a spirit guide, so takes aspects from all the chain members.
(The only thing i was thinking is possibly putting runes of some sort down his tunic but I never got around to amending the reference picture. so I really can't give you more than that.)
Weave is my squishy bean and I love him dearly.

heyyy margin I was wondering
for the sw high fantasy au, how are you planning to make the story go down? Will it be pretty similar to the movies, or will you be making any changes? Also, are you gonna be doing anything with all the crazy creatures found on every planet connect? Like, some of them are dragons and so on? Or there being different families all the creatures fit into? and finally, are you gonna include any ships that arenāt canon?
Ok thatās it XD
HI EVIE THANKS FOR CHECKING IN ON ME!!!
Okay SO. Let me answer these one at a time :D
(this is over a thousand words so it's going to be below the cut)
In terms of story, everything from the Prequels through the Original Trilogy is going to be pretty much the same. What I can tell you is that although I havenāt actually put that much thought into the Sequels yet, they are going to be markedly different from the current Disney canon in that they will combine elements from both the Disney canon and Legends, including Mara Jade and the other Organa-Solo kids (Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin as well as Ben) because they live rent-free in my mind.Ā
However, a few things in the Prequels especially are going to be markedly different because the way they are executed in canon doesnāt fit into a High Fantasy world, and Iāll put these as bulletpoints:
Kamino is going to be introduced very differently. While Dooku destroying all evidence of its existence works in canon, because itās in the outer rim and canon Star Wars is a digital, data-based world, in a fantasy setting it would be extremely difficult to cover up all the evidence of an entire island- especially in regards to its references (or lack thereof) in the Jedi Archives, because these would obviously now be a paper-and-pen, books and scrolls and tapestries library, instead of a digital archive where data can just be erased. (Though, the mental image of Dooku checking out all the books on Kamino and then burning them is very funny to me. Especially if Jocasta Nu walked in on him. āMaster Dookuā¦ what are you doing?ā āOh, nothing, dear Jocasta.ā *book makes a FWOOSH sound as it goes up in flames*) Instead, in the AU Kamino is an Atlantis-esque legend to the people of the Galactic Archipelago: in the days of the Old Republic, it was sunk in divine retribution for the unnatural genetic alchemy practiced by the Kaminoans. After leaving the Jedi, Dooku discovers that Kamino is, in fact, real, and that the Kaminoans preserved their ancient fortress undersea by way of a magic barrier. When Obi-Wan learns about the Kaminoan dart from Dex, his problem in looking for Kamino is now that no one takes him seriously because at every turn, itās dismissed as just a childrenās tale.
This isnāt necessarily a story thing, but the map is slightly different; the most obvious example of this is the changing of Mustafarās location, because it and Coruscant are part of the same chain of volcanic islands- Coruscant just happens to be dormant. In fact, Coruscantās underworld is built into the caldera of the volcano, because it hasnāt erupted since the early days of the Old Republic and is widely thought to be extinct.
C-3PO has his own new lore now. Heās the ghost of a knight- Sir Anthony Threepio, so I can keep it phonetically similar (C-3PO = Sir Threepio) and also give a little reference to Anthony Daniels- who died in a surprise pirate ambush on Tatooine centuries ago, and the stress he retains from the events surrounding his death has made him neurotically obsessed with being prepared for absolutely every possible situation. In life, he was also incredibly intelligent, and spoke almost every language in the Galactic Archipelago. When Anakin is a little boy, he meets and befriends Threepioās ghost, and, being the kind soul he is, offers to build him a suit of armor so Threepio can be in the world again. In gratitude, Threepio swears a knightly oath to serve Anakinās family for as long as he is able.
R2-D2 (and, actually, all astromechs) ALSO has his own lore. Astromech Gnomes are a race that lives far below the surface of the Galactic Archipelago, and have for so long that sunlight is actually toxic to them. They are gifted with a masterful knowledge of machinery- an art lost to the rest of the Archipelago- and can build and/or fix almost anything, including ships. In addition, because they live in near-total darkness, they have an excellent internal compass, so they often work as navigators. However, because they can only ply their trades on the surface, and sunlight will kill them, they use their mechanical genius to build themselves small dome-like suits from which they can safely practice their craft without endangering themselves. In addition, they can understand but cannot speak basic, due to the fact that they have avian-like mouth structures and can only speak in whistles and chirps.Ā
On a similar note, letās talk about Battle Droids. Iāll try to breeze through this pretty quickly. Regular Battle Droids are necromanced skeletons (General Grievous is an ancient, undead Lich Warlord and necromances all of them), Super Battle Droids are centaur-esque automatons (in the classic sense, like in Greek and Roman mythology), and Droidekas Iā¦ havenāt actually figured out yet (if you have any ideas let me know!).Ā
Creatures! Well, obviously I just talked about Astromechs and Battle Droids. But yes, I have thought about this! I have a few ideas which I actually came up with while I was designing Padmeās area outfit from Attack of the Clones, and then obviously Iāve been thinking about the alien races that are too bizarre to just put into my system of āThere Are Many And Diverse Human Cultures In The Galactic Archipelagoā. And anyway, this is a fantasy world, we need fantasy creatures. Iāll put these in bulletpoints, too. In regards to all of these, Iām trying to keep their in-canon appearances as much as possible while just amping up the fantasy vibe, so- for example- Admiral Ackbar will still look like Admiral Ackbar, but with lobster legs. And such.
Nexu are manticore-esque
Acklays are something like a Cockatrice
The Rhino Thing whose name I can never remember? The thing Anakin fights? Thatās a Tarasque now.
The Aquatic races are all types of merfolk: Nautolans are your classic mermaids, and still have their head tentacles (for reference, Iāll upload a picture of Heroforge!Kit Fisto at the end of this list); Mon Calamari are crustacean-legged; Quarren are squid-people; and the other fish-people (like the one who steals Ahsokaās lightsabers in that one episode) are. Well. Theyāre fish mermaids.Ā
Heroforge!Kit Fisto:
Thisspiasians are like Nagas, but with four arms.Ā
Besalisks are centaurs. But with four arms. (Thereās a lot of four-armed creatures in star wars.)
Yoda is a delightful little imp-creature.Ā
Kaminoans are. Well. Kaminoans. I think theyāre weird enough to just leave alone.
Geonosians are malicious insect-like pixies (in the classic sense)
Darth Maul specifically is a Drider- a spider-legs person. The Clone Wars writers were cowards (affectionate), but I am not, so he keeps the spider legs.
If you have any more ideas for creatures to fantasy-ify, Iād LOVE to hear them!
Ships. Both in the boat sense and the romance sense. But I suspect youāre talking about the romance sense here :) So hereās the thing, most of my Star Wars ships are. Already canon. (A few I think might just be widely-accepted fanon, but that could just be because Iām not quite done with TCW and I havenāt started TBB yet, so that remains to be seen). HOWEVER. There is, in fact, Mara Jade, and as she is no longer Disney canon, I think itās safe to say that she and Luke are no longer canon, so yes, there will be at least ONE non-canonical ship in this AU- that being the aforementioned Luke and Mara Jade. There might be others, which I will get back to you on upon completion of TCW and TBB. (Oh, and thereās also pre-Sith Dooku and Jocasta Nu, because old people in love is near and dear to my heart, and I donāt know if this counts as non-canon or not, but that will be at least briefly touched upon.)
I hope you found this enjoyable and enlightening. And also, you know me, if you have any follow-ups, I will be DELIGHTED to scream about those with you :D
