Obi-Wan Kenobi is an introvert; though lucky enough to be surrounded by people he is always pleased to see he is, at his core, a private man who needs quiet solitude and to revel in his own space as regularly as possible to recharge after the long periods of constant company and communication life has forced him into.

He is also, a complete sucker for his Padawans.

Who did not get the memo.

---

General Obi-Wan Kenobi leant his head against the duratile of his small fresher shower and let the warmish water wash over him, over aching bones and dirty hair, dripping gently down his face washing the grime and pain of the battle down the drain.

It had been a hard one. A long, gruelling fight to save people who didn’t seem to realise they’d been saved.

What was the point? He just wanted to lie down and meditate and wait for tomorrow to start.

Thud.

He paused his rapidly spiralling thoughts and increasingly vigorous scrubbing at the shuffling and banging noises from his tiny cabin.

He rolled his eyes fondly. His former Padawan was not a quiet person.

“One minute, I’m in the shower!” He called, increasing the speed of his washing and reaching for the shampoo.

“Master?” he heard over the noise of the rapidly cooling water.

“I’m in the shower!” he called back, louder this time. Perhaps Anakin would put the kettle on whilst he waited? Or maybe even open a bottle of something-

“Hey Obi-Wan”

The Jedi Master was not particularly proud of the noise he made as the door swooshed open and he heard his former Padawan’s greeting much too close for comfort.

“GAAHNAKIN!” he all but shrieked, simultaneously dropping the sponge and banging his elbow on the wall. “Ow! Kark!” he yelped.

“Oh sorry” came the blasé response “Should’ve knocked” the young man admitted casually, and Obi-Wan heard the scrape of the fresher stool being moved over his thudding heartbeat.

“Anyway, was wondering if you might be up for a bit of sparring after dinner? I feel like Ahsok-“

“Anakin!” the irate Jedi Master barked, and finally popped his head tightly round the shower curtain, fixing his former student and former best friend with a furious glare through the suds slowly making their way into his eyes.

“What the blazes do you think you are doing?” he demanded. He looked down at the rest of the curtain, tightly held to the wall from his neck down. “I’m in the shower!” he said incredulously.

“Oh yeah but I just-“

“The shower!!” the composed Jedi Master all but shouted in disbelief, well aware his voice was getting slightly higher.

“Right…” the nonchalant young man was comfortably sitting on the stool, not a care for his poor Master’s dignity, or privacy.

For some reason baffling to Obi-Wan, he was looking at the irate older man with surprise.

“So do you want me to…?”

“GET. OUT.”

“Alright! Alright! Jeeze no need to be so touchy about it” Anakin straightened up, holding his hands up in surrender.

“Boundaries Padawan, for the love of Force, BOUNDARIES!”

The irritating, maddening Jedi Knight picked up the pace and opened the refresher door, barely managing to avoid the bar of soap aimed at his head as his Master punctuated his words with a projectile.

There was a beat of silence. Blessed silence. Until:

“So we’ll talk in a bit then?” Came through gloriously muffled through the door.

Obi-Wan once again rested his head on the wall, cursing himself, the Force and everything, as the water heater finally gave up and showered him with icy water.

“Yes, we’ll talk in a bit” he confirmed, sighing at the Universe and grabbing a towel.

---

“…Doing with your leave?”

Obi-Wan hadn’t realised he’d tuned his dear Commander out until he caught the end of his optimistic question.

“Oh I’m rather looking forward to a spot of relative peace and quiet I think” the tired Jedi Master replied, swinging his old canvas bag onto his shoulders and standing up as the transport docked at the Temple.

“Well you’ve earned it General” Woolley nodded at him with an encouraging smile.

Obi-Wan felt his smile turn just a touch more genuine and he turned to his men, waiting for him to depart.

“We all have” he said, as he turned to exit the transport.

The battle-weary Jedi closed his eyes, taking in the hustle and bustle of the Temple hanger, hanging back whilst the 501st transport docked behind him.

Sure enough, his smile was widening not five minutes later when Ahsoka bounced excitedly down the ramp, Anakin following behind with his characteristic confident smirk in place.

“Master Obi-Wan!”

His heart swelled as he suddenly found himself with the wind almost knocked out of him and a happy Torguta apparently trying to squeeze the life out of him.

“Hi Master”

Anakin waited patiently for Ahsoka to let the older man go, and when she turned her hug for her Grandmaster into a deep bow for a senior council member, Anakin leaned in and grasped his friends forearms in greeting, before doing the same.

Obi-Wan gave a shallower bow of his own to them both with a wide grin.

“It is so good to see you my Padawans” he said warmly, giving his Grandpadawan a wink as Anakin opened his mouth to give a familiar retort.

“Not your Pada-“

“Ahsoka dear please do stop growing, you’re making me feel old” he interrupted the traditional refrain from his former Padawan

“You are old” Anakin grinned at him and clapped him on the shoulder. “Come on Snips, lets dump our stuff before de-brief.” He instructed, picking up his and his own Padawan’s packs and falling into step with his Master, heading towards the Temple main.

“Uh, Skyguy, you er…you know, remember about that thing?” Ahsoka asked slightly breathlessly as she strode next to the two older Jedi with a tilt of her head in reminder.

Obi-Wan quirked an eyebrow. Since leaving their shared flat to embark on life as a Knight, and then moving Ahsoka in, the tales of Anakin’s living situation had periodically horrified or amused his old Master.

Anakin stopped in his tracks, grimacing.

“Oh kark”

“Language – What’s wrong?” Obi-Wan asked, the reprimand automatically exiting his mouth almost subconsciously.

“Er…”

The Master’s eyes narrowed as the other man dithered sheepishly.

“Our flat’s being fumigated” Ahsoka chirped cheerfully, prompting a grimace from her Master.

Obi-Wan stared at them for a very long moment.

“I don’t think I want to know” he decided, turning around and continuing to walk down the corridor and away from his Padawan’s nonsense.

“So what’s the plan Skyguy?” he heard Ahsoka ask innocently as the pair again sprung into life and followed after him.

“Right just let me think”

“Hey, we can just stay with Master Obi-Wan!”

Master Obi-Wan ground to a screeching halt.

He hoped he managed to cover the mildly alarmed noise he inadvertently made. Turning back to them both he was greeted with enthusiastic nodding and a big grin from his energetic Grandpadawan, and large pleading eyes from his fully grown idiot best friend.

“Yeah c’mon it’ll be so much fun!” Ahsoka was clearly warming to the idea. “We can make Kenobi Surprise, and watch the racing, and play Sabacc!” she suggested excitedly.

“I..well…” Obi-Wan didn’t know quite what to say in the face of such delight.

“Would that be OK Obi-Wan? Just for a bit” Anakin met his eyes reluctantly, genuinely asking permission.

The tired and slightly battered Master took a deep breath in through his nose. There really was only one answer.

He smiled.

“Of course, I’d be delighted to have you both” he said, patting his friend on the arm and chuckling as Ahsoka punched the air.

“Aw yeah this is gonna be awesome!”

Peace and quiet was overrated anyway.

---

‘Conference room, ASAP.’

Obi-Wan looked up from his book and his tea when the chirp of the commlink disrupted his medic-mandated fifteen-minute break. He was now to take one every three hours and as much as he was loathe to admit it, they were doing wonders for his productivity and inner calm.

Except when he received emergency summons, obviously.

His stomach dropped as he read Anakin’s message again and scenarios instantly began filling his head.

New orders? An attack? He didn’t hear any sirens, so they weren’t being ambushed thank the Force. But really anything could be happening, and here he was ‘taking a break’!

Cursing he clumsily tugged on his boots, running fingers through his hair whilst simultaneously pulling on his belt.

He made it to the Negotiator’s conference room in record time, barely waiting for the doors to open before rushing inside.

Where he came to a sudden, confused stop.

“Oh hey Master”

“Hi Master Obi-Wan”

There in the main conference room, sat Anakin and Ahsoka. Both with their eyes fixed on a holoscreen showing some kind of learning module and sharing a bowl of Ahsoka’s favourite cured meat chunks. They would have made a rather cute scene under different circumstances.

“What?” Obi-Wan asked, bewildered, the wind rapidly leaving his sails.

This is not look like an emergency.

“Are you alright Master?” Ahsoka asked, eyes widening in concern her Grandmaster’s flustered and harried state.

“Anakin, you sent me a message?” he demanded, fixing his former student with a piercing look.

“Oh uh…yeah I mean, we were just talking about Force Theory. Thought you might have some ideas.” Anakin answered, wearily looking at his confused Master.

“Yeah do you think you’d use the Living Force or the Unifying Force to breathe in Space? Theoretically.” Ahsoka asked imploringly.

Obi-Wan stared at them both.

“What?” he asked again, less sharp and now genuinely baffled at the randomness of the question.

“Yeah it just seemed like something you would know about” Anakin answered casually, about to turn back to the holoscreen. Apparently “helping” Ahsoka with her Force Philosophy module.

“I don’t…”

The Jedi Master summoned the words, and the strength, for the conversation.

“You said it was urgent?” he said weakly, still rather discombobulated by the jarring change of pace.

Anakin looked at him surprised.

“Oh no I just meant you should come here when you can, you know, as soon as it’s possible.” He explained casually.

Obi-Wan stared at him, resisting the urge to run a hand through his hair.

“You said ASAP!” he ground out.

“Yeah, ‘as soon as it’s possible’!” the young man said defensively “not like, right now!”

This time Obi-Wan did run a hand through his hair, taking a very long deep breath.

“Unbelievable! Anakin I just dropped everything, I was in the middle of-“ he faltered. “You can’t do that!” he snapped.

Ahsoka was now looking at him worriedly.

“Sorry Master Obi-Wan, we didn’t mean it.” She said contritely and seemed to dither in the face of her Grandmaster’s displeasure.

She pulled the chair beside her out from under the table.

“…you wanna join?” she asked, timidly.

“Yeah sorry Master, didn’t mean to make you panic” Anakin joined in, the tiniest of tiny smirks tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“I didn’t panic” Obi-Wan muttered, well aware how sulkily it sounded.

“C’mon Master, take a seat. You really need to relax” he instructed cockily.

Obi-Wan nearly hit him.

But he took the offered seat all the same. He was here now, after all.

I had one of the best and most memorable experiences of my life last weekend meeting Ashley Eckstein. She's been an inspiration to me for quite a while, and she was extraordinarily kind to me and all the fans who came to see her at ICCC Nashville.

She takes so much time with each individual that they wait to see her for very long, but she makes it worth waiting. She stayed after closing to ensure that everyone who wanted to meet her had the chance to. This meant a lot to me as it was my first convention after trying many times to go to one. My mom and sisters were with me, and she asked for each of our names and spoke to each of us individually. She said she loved how Star Wars can bring families together.

I was able to tell her how much I appreciated what she has brought to the fandom, especially as a young girl growing up in a fandom that was not always friendly to them. I was happy just to talk to her, but she voluntarily gave me a hug and took a picture with me, and I will never, ever forget that kindness. It inspires me even more.

Open starter: Ahsoka’s auction

With the success of Order 66, and Operation Nightfall, almost all Jedi had been eliminated from the galaxy. Those that survived were hunted relentlessly, and those that ended up captured...

"Lot 665! A Jedi in chains!" The auctioneer called to the crowd. Ahsoka being raised up to the stage. Her fate to be sold like so many of her fellow female Jedi. "Ahsoka Tanno. The former apprentice of Anakin Skywalker. Some of you may remember her as the one who bombed the Jedi Temple. So, the bidding starts at 250,000 credits!"

“The Mandalorian” S2 is a power fantasy with mini Star Wars trailers

The term “Plot armor” is often used by readers and viewers to describe the myriad of ways writers keep their heroes away from any real danger no matter what choices or actions they make in the narrative. It’s typically a derisive phrase for the way a writer’s hero seems to escape death no matter what is thrown at him for the sole purpose of moving the plot forward.

In Disney+’s “The Mandalorian” this term takes a far more literal description in the form of our main anti-hero, played by Pedro Pascal, in his beskar armor which seems to be, by all accounts the most indestructible material in the galaxy far, far away.

(I mean, it still looks really cool too, of course.)

The result of this narrative decision in this series is that action scenes often don’t have real tension to them. In another series you might be able to reasonably believe the hero might be in danger with blaster fire shooting all around them but with beskar it’s almost comically not the case at all. Stormtroopers fire laser blast after laser blast at The Mando and each time they bounce harmlessly off him as if he were fucking Superman. It makes scenes feel devoid of stakes and danger no matter what situation they are in.

The show thus becomes a power fantasy, as action scenes serve as extended highlight reels for the Mando. Where season 1 of the show mitigated the power of the Mando’s plot armor by putting him more often in situations where his beskar alone wasn’t enough to save the day, season 2 goes mostly full power fantasy as The Mando rarely runs into a situation he can’t just quite literally walk through.

(“Aim for his armor, men! That’s his weak point!”)

This isn’t to say the season wasn’t without its high moments or even that it wasn’t enjoyable plenty of times but the series’ devotion to fan servicey action and callbacks to “Hey remember ____” makes it a fairly shallow story. At least for myself.

Season 2 of “The Mandalorian” continues the story of Din and his small Yoda-like companion, The Child (later known officially as Grogu), as he looks to complete a quest to return the burgeoning Force wielder to the Jedi. As he seeks to reunite The Child with the ancient Order, he encounters other Mandalorians who are on a quest to retake Mandalore and right on their tail is the nefarious Grand Moff Gideon who is still bent on capturing Grogu for whatever it is he has planned for the Empire.

Let me start this review by saying power fantasies aren’t inherently bad to watch or read. They can be good, cathartic junk food for the soul and can also be compelling, artistic, or even deeply metaphorical in their own way. A movie series like “John Wick” for instance is a power fantasy that aims to reinvent the wheel in action film-making with Keanu Reeves performing perhaps the best gun kata of all-time onscreen. Another film like Paul Verhoueven’s “Total Recall” can satirize the power fantasy to show how ridiculous it is in concept.

So, making your hero an unstoppable killing machine isn’t necessarily always a bad thing if used properly.

(Seriously, this is one of the smartest action films ever made. Don’t @ me.)

Now that that’s established, however, “The Mandalorian” season 2, despite some strong moments here and there, is a power fantasy that lacks these elements for a more interesting narrative. If you believe killing dozens of stormtroopers onscreen while never suffering so much as a scratch for eight episodes equals compelling storytelling then boy does Disney have a series for you.

Through the first four-ish episodes, the new season is mostly just fine and even quite enjoyable. We have the Mando getting a fun side quest with Timothy Olyphant on Tatooine where they get to wrangle a sand worm in a callback to the Westerns that inspired much of the franchise’s aesthetic. The Mando gets to escort a frog lady to her home planet to give birth to some tadpoles and they run into some actual danger in this episode in the form of kyrnknas/space spiders. And we get the return of Bo Katan from Dave Filoni’s “Clone Wars” and “Rebels” cartoon series, with Katee Sackhoff herself reprising the role in a fun Mandalorian team-up episode.

(I’m just so happy to see my girl, Starbuck, again more than anything honestly ;_;)

But the wheels started officially falling off for me in the next episode.

Episode 5 marked the live-action debut of fan favorite Ahsoka Tano, played by Rosario Dawson, and she meets the Mando by getting the jump on him with her lightsabers. In virtually any other situation we have been told lightsabers can cut through virtually anything. Now, beskar has been shown to be plenty durable throughout the series so far but lightsabers? Surely not.

Well…

It is an overall good episode despite this but it marked the point for me where I badly wanted The Mando to just go the rest of the series without it. Obviously, the writers aren’t going to actually kill our hero, afterall The Mouse needs more money and he can’t have it unless we get 50 more Mandalorian episodes and spin-offs, but at some point I gotta feel like there’s a possibility at least that our hero might actually die or at least is in danger. It is actually super funny to me each time The Mando ducks or seeks cover in a shootout when I know, and the viewer damn well knows, he can literally walk right into the middle of it and shoot all these motherfuckers at his own leisure cause his actual plot armor is the stuff of adamantium and vibranium combined.

Episode 5 is mostly good though, it’s a nice callback to old school samurai flicks and for an old fan like myself it was enough to ignore beskar again saving the Mando’s ass.

(This was cool...This...was...cool.)

If episode 5 marked the point in which the wheels began to come off though, episode 6 is where the show really spun out into the ditch for me. Perhaps, this series worst episode, personally, episode 6 reintroduces fan favorite and series inspiration Boba Fett back officially into the fold and the result was perhaps the most self-indulgent entry of the series.

(I mean, it was directed by Robert Rodriguez so...)

Boba arrives to demand his beskar from The Mando who promptly tells him “no” before they are ambushed by a platoon of stormtroopers. Alongside Ming-Na Wen’s Fennec Shand, the three do battle with the stormtroopers with ridiculous ease. I’m aware that stormtroopers exist to be on the highlight reel of our heroes in this franchise and have a long history of not being able to hit the broad side of a bantha but again, I can only watch these guys die by the dozens onscreen over and over again while our heroes get away without suffering even a bruise before it starts feeling boring and repetitive.

It only gets worse once Boba actually puts on his armor. In a sequence that I would describe as “gratuitously” fan servicey, Boba wastes just about every last stormtrooper in this scene culminating with him destroying their two get-away vehicles in a single shot with a rocket. Considering he was killing them with ease just moments before with nothing more than a battle club and a bathrobe, it seemed almost hilariously needless that he donned his iconic armor.

youtube

(It would be tempting to say the stormtroopers fought as ineptly as the Putty Patrol here but even the Power Rangers have struggled a few times against these guys...)

I get that Boba is really important to a lot of fans, based on their perceptions of him in the original trilogy and subsequent books and graphic novels that came out in the following years, but here’s a hot take; this series didn’t need him in it. Maybe they didn’t need to keep him rotting in the Sarlacc Pit but this episode, alongside Ahsoka Tano’s feels more like marketing choices for the story rather than narrative ones. I’ll concede that there is a bit more substance to having Ahsoka there to commune with Grogu but their additions to the plot don’t actually show much of anything about the Mando outside physically helping him in a fight.

The way they tease, in both cases, stories that exist outside the internal narrative between Ahsoka’s search for Admiral Thrawn and Boba taking over Jabba’s palace at the end of the final episode, it feels like Disney threw in mini trailers for fans to nibble on at the expense of telling the Mando’s own story and letting it stand on its own like the first season.

The choice to have these characters shoved into this season again appears to be market driven not narrative. Once more, I get that these characters are important personally to many fans, but the appearance of these characters alone DO NOT equal good storytelling.

(Me when a fan tells me “But Boba was such a badass in *obscurely titled EU book that a handful of general audiences have read*! He deserves this moment!”)

The final episode of the season is truly encapsulating of all these issues “The Mandalorian” has, however. Moff Gideon, played by the always sharp Giancarlo Esposito, has Grogu imprisoned aboard his ship. The Mando and his friends plan a rescue mission to save him and, just like nearly every episode before, it is stupidly easy for our protagonists.

The crew of five, again, walk through every Imperial on the ship. I don’t mean this metaphorically by the way, I mean this literally as Cara, Fennec, Bo Katan and Koshka Reeves (played by WWE’s Sasha Banks) without a single moment of real adversity just blast through every stormtrooper on the ship and never get hit once in the process.

A good action scene needs an element of danger, a sense that our hero might actually not come out of this alive even though we all know they will. An action scene without this has no tension and without tension it becomes booooooooring.

(Even John fucking Wick is capable of bleeding, guys...)

The finale had a chance, however, to add real stakes and danger to the scene in the form of this season’s new enemy; The Dark Troopers. These Imperial battle droids were foreshadowed as these super soldiers at the end of episode 4 and seemed to be billed as a real dangerous match for our heroes to faceup against. When the Mando finally gets himself face to face with one he finds they are not as easy to kill as the nameless stormtroopers from before. To see The Mando briefly face real adversity for a change snapped me out of my cynical mood so sharply for a moment I thought I had turned on another series by accident.

But of course, danger never lasts long in this series as The Mando’s armor again saves him first from getting pummeled to death by the droid’s super fists then he uses his plot spear, cause of course he has one of those too, to finish the job.

Danger over.

Moff Gideon doesn’t fair much better in this episode. This villain who had been built up for two seasons as this calculative monster gets stopped rather easily with Mando and his friends barely breaking a sweat. This character feels wasted because of this, even though I’m sure Giancarlo Esposito will return in the next season. He just feels about as much like a pushover as the nameless stormtroopers in this series.

The episode had one more chance though to show these Dark Troopers meant business toward the end as we found the heroes cornered on the command deck with nowhere to run and a dozen of these droids ready to blast and pound them into the floorboards. But help arrives in the form of a Deus X-Wing Machina.

Without having to face even one Dark Trooper, Luke fucking Skywalker arrives on the ship and kills every droid without breaking a sweat. It plays as inspiring in the moment but again I just found myself bored and irritated. A chance to see the series heroes actually use their wits and show their creativity in a moment of true danger thwarted to please fan boys.

I get that Grogu called out to him in episode 6 but creatively this felt like an extremley lazy way to solve the heroes’ dilemna.

(“Hello my name is Jedi. I enjoy doing...*computes script* Jedi things.”)

This season wasn’t all bad. It certainly had nice production value that made each alien world pop and beautiful to look at. Every actor and actress played their parts expertly well, with what they were given, and made for interesting characters at times. There are also nice homages to both Western and Samurai cinema throughout the season that fans of both will appreciate. And Pedro Pascal is just so good on his own, especially in tender moments with Grogu, that you forget that his character is kind of a Gary Stu.

But the main crux of the issue here that I’m trying to get across is the reason you need to remove the plot armor of your heroes is not just because action scenes need tension and stakes, it’s that when faced with danger these scenes reveal who these characters are. I used to believe that the reason Mandalorians and Jedi had such a fierce rivalry in the lore despite the obvious advantages of wielding the Force was because these famed bounty hunters were just that fucking good at killing. That despite being, on paper, normal people they had great martial prowess, athletic skill, and the tactical wit to outsmart people who can literally sense their feelings. But now with beskar and the way this series is written, it appears the Mandalorians were challenging warriors just because they happened to harness the most OP armor building material in the galaxy.

It makes you wonder how the fuck they were conquered to begin with…

(Maybe they just needed more knee rockets...)

This takes away from the mysticism of the Mandalorians for me. It makes The Mando less interesting to me in the way he fights. Yea he can shoot really good too but really it’s the armor that makes him the fighter that he is and I find that kind of boring. We occasionally get this character to remove the armor during the series, including a whole episode that was easily one of the best of the season, and in every case he’s more interesting once the helmet comes off. I get that fans hold a lot of reverence for that armor, yea it still looks really cool, but making it this impenetrable super material doesn’t add anything to the story.

If anything, it takes away from it.

(Plus how could you not love Pedro Pascal when he’s out of armor? uWu)

I wouldn’t go as far as to say I hate season 2, even though I spent 2000 plus words just now lambasting it but I guess I just want to say I am unimpressed more than anything. I feel like I’ve seen better Star Wars be it in the movies, cartoons, books, video games, etc and I’ve certainly seen better action in the franchise as well.

Considering fan reaction so far appears to be overwhelmingly positive, I am definitely in the minority here and you are welcome to enjoy this series as much as you want in spite of how unimpressed I am with the season. But considering all I have seen of this fandom the last few years, regarding complaints about fan service (“Rogue One”), easily defeated/underdeveloped bad guys (“The Last Jedi”), and Mary Sues (The sequel trilogy in general), I have to ask again what is it actually that fans like or don’t like about new entries in the franchise? It’s not that there isn’t valid criticisms there and “The Mandalorian” is enjoyable in sincere ways too but it has many of the issues I hear commonly said of more divisive entries in the Disneyverse. So why does it get a pass?

I’ve been told it’s not worth my energy to talk too derisively about the fans in one of my earlier write-ups, so I’ll leave it at that but it does make me wonder.

(“Rogue One” admittedly has a simarily self-indulgent action sequence though haha...)

Season 2 of “The Mandalorian” isn’t the worst piece of Star Wars media ever created, far from it, and for most part its solid enjoyable Saturday morning cartoon theater but if the series wants to really take steps to become more compelling in the future it might be good to stop bubble wrapping their heroes in plot armor. Literally.

Until then this is the way…I guess…

Me getting ready for the backlash...

Jedi General Anakin Skywalker rubbed his hands together in anticipation, focussed intently on the holoscreen in front of the small crowd in the mess hall. Temporarily turned into a viewing lounge for the Boonta Eve Classic, being broadcast via a shaky and (probably) less-than-legitimate signal straight from Tattooine to The Resolute.

It was a big deal race, apparently. And this year Generals Skywalker and Kenobi had decided to involve their troops in their annual tradition of watching the race together, and shouting at the screen.

“Ropo’s going to make it this time, I can feel it! Three wins already this season, it’s in the bag.”

“I don’t know, I wouldn’t count Mandip out just yet. She’s been steadily getting faster, one mistake on Ropo’s part and it’s hers.”

“Master, may I remind you I’m the podracing expert, having actually done it before? I’m telling you, it’ll be Ropo.”

“Oh please I’ve spent the fifteen years watching and hearing about it. I lost an entire room to podracing posters and books. I am now just as expert as you my overconfident friend.”

The troops looked bemusedly at each other as Commander Tano shook her head disparagingly.

“Overconfident? Well fine, care to make it interesting?”

There was a collective intake of breath. Commander Cody looked like he couldn’t decide weather to tell them off or not.

There was a glint in General Kenobi’s eye.

“Always. Stakes?”

General Skwalker paused for a moment, thinking.

A shinny slowly raised his hand in suggestion before it was quickly slapped back down with a curse by a worried Captain.

A smile was forming on the younger General’s face.

“Loser has to answer his comm with his full titles for a week.”

Several relieved smiles broke out. Easy! That was positively tame compared to five-hundred push ups or a 30 minute handstand.

Though General Kenobi frowned.

“No that’s not fair, my titles are way more pretentious than yours” He paused, letting out a surprisingly evil smile “You have to do yours, but you have to add you’re the chosen one” he said, barely holding in a laugh.

General Skywalker made a face. But stuck out his hand all the same.

“Deal.”

“Excellent.”

“I actually think Mosslov is going to win you know” Commander Tano piped up. There was an awkward silence as both her Master’s turned to her with varying pitying looks.

“…Sure, I mean she might?”

“Of course that’s always a possibility. Anything can happen”

The Commander rolled her eyes and folded her arms with a huff.

Ninety minutes later and she was singing a verydifferent tune. And dancing in victory.

“I can’t believe it, she just came out of nowhere!”

“Oh my gods Ahsoka. How did you know? What were the odds?”

“Well obviously you guys aren’t as expert as you thought.” The teenager was holding none of her smugness back. She stood in front of her despairing Masters. “Sooo technically since both of you lost that means…”

“No way”

“It doesn’t – doesn’t count”

The Commander looked around at the surrounding troops, raising her eyebrows in a plea for back up.

“I believe it does actually Sirs”

“Respectfully Generals I agree”

The identical glares levelled at Commanders Rex and Cody were nothing short of impressive. But with the help of Commander Tano’s huge smile they remained steadfast where lesser men would have faltered.

At that moment, a very familiar chirping sound filled the air.

General Skywalker pulled out his com and flipped it open, an action born of pure muscle memory he did a hundred times a day.

“Skywalker”

The air seemed to freeze as his eyes widened and he realised what he’d done. He scowled at his student.

“I’m - I’m a Jedi Knight and a General.”

General Kenobi cleared his throat pointedly.

The unfortunate man visibly clenched his teeth.

“And the chosen one.” He ground out to several muffled guffaws.

There was silence whilst they were unable to hear what the other person was saying before Skywalker cleared his throat awkwardly and cringed.

“Yep I’m just…really proud of it.”

He had to leave the room to be heard over the laughter.

It was going to be a fun week.

----

Chirp chirp

All nearby activity stopped, and the sound of his communicator going off was met with a loud sigh from General Kenobi.

“High General Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Commander of the Third Systems Army. How may I help?”

His confident and professional tone was rather undercut by the fact that the tips of his ears were turning pink.

He closed the communicator shortly afterwards .

“He’s always thought I’m a twit anyway” he said with a sheepish shrug.

----

Chirp chirp

“Jedi Knight and General Anakin Skywalker, I’m The Chosen One what can I do for you?”

General Kenobi got a vicious elbow in the ribs for his snort.

“…”

“No it just means…never mind. I’ll get right on it.”

----

Chirp chirp

“Jedi Master and High General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Commander of the Third Systems Army. How may I help?

“…”

“Yes I just thought…thought I’d like to remind you?”

----

Chirp chirp

“Hello this is The Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight and General. What do you need?”

“…”

“Hello? Is anyone there? Oh they must have been cut off”

----

Chirp chirp

All the bridge Clones turned as one, eagerly awaiting another bought of awkwardness for their C.Os, only to be disappointed when Commander Tano fished her communicator out of her belt.

“Tano”

“…”

“Yes Master they’re both right here”

She grinned and gestured at her two Masters, putting the call on speaker. General Kenobi grimaced and shook his head as he complied.

“Hello yes this is High General and Commander of the Third Systems Army, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi”

“And The Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight and General.” General Skywalker was making strangling motions at his beloved student.

There was a long, pregnant moment of silence on the other end of the call, before a heavy sigh came through.

“You two are so weird.” The flat, unimpressed voice of Mace Windu declared.

The Generals looked at each other. General Kenobi shrugged at his friend as the other man started smiling.

“Yes Master” they responded in unison.
