#anakin is great

[jedi-starbird]

Palpatine: My boy, I'm afraid to report that Master Kenobi is very likely sleeping with your wife.

Anakin, who knows for a fact that Obi-Wan is sleeping with his Commander, a good chunk of Ghost company, the Organas and Quinlan Vos: ...where is he finding the fucking time???

Palpatine, oblivious: Oh I've heard from some very reliable sources that-

Anakin: *pulls out a spexcel spreadsheet, the 3rd System Army's shared spoogle calender and a calculator*

Anakin: Your Excellency. That's just. not logistically possible.

#palps thinks anakin is mad about the affair. anakin is mad at whoevers spreading affair rumors that aren't even mathematically plausible #i fucking love thinking up new ways this manipulation line backfires on palpatine it brings me great joy #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #palpatine #star wars

I remember you showing us, in your Rebel AU, Kanan being an Anakin Skywalker fanboy, but is Cal a fanboy too?

cal was canonically a huge nerd as a youngling so I feel it's a No (which only gets worse upon meeting ahsoka)

(commission info // kofi support!)

#cal knows he isn't great but at least he doesnt think war crimes are jedi techniques #cal kestis #ahsoka tano #anakin skywalker #star wars #my doods #thanks for the ask!

Don’t mind me, just losing my mind over the emotional robot arm imagery

#I already love when characters get robot limbs #but THIS ONE HAS EMOTION TO IT #LIKE SOOO MUCHH #AHHH I LOVE IT #so much focus was on the arm #like Star Wars honestly missed out with Anakin #he’s got a robot arm but was almost never mentioned #there was that scene with Luke and Vader in return of the Jedi tho #that was great #funny #meme #funny meme #nimona #ballister x ambrosius #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #goldenheart #over 1k

"Her master was Anakin Skywalker?" LMAOOOO LOOK AT HIS FACE THIS POOR MAN HAD WAR FLASHBACKS

Morgan has NO IDEA

#I bet Thrawn was ready to throw her out of the Chimaera after hearing that #He had flashbacks to his “adventure” with Anakin #“...her master was WHO?” #(also we lost such a great opportunity to reference the Alliances but eh) #star wars #ahsoka series #grand admiral thrawn #thrawn #anakin skywalker

“Anakin Skywalker was the best Jedi” uh no that was Mace Windu. Mace was the best Jedi.

#filoni please use your head. #even if you don’t agree with me that it’s mace. #we all know damn well anakin sucked at being a jedi. #that’s literally why he’s a Sith. #like you cannot fail being a Jedi harder than anakin did #if you wanted to say ‘force user’ ig that’s it’s own category and maybe I’ll open myself to a discussion on that #(lmao no I won’t I said what I said mace is the best) #but in terms of Jedi. he wasn’t that great lmao #meanwhile mace did everything he could to be a good person a good force user AND a good Jedi #I rest my case. #anakin skywalker #mace windu #Star Wars

I feel like An Anakin free from palpys influence, would take to being a parent like he does with most things.

Competent. But so very goofy.

Anakin leaves the jedi order and commits to being a the malewife to Padmè's chancellor.

You can often catch The Hero With No Fear walking around the senate rotunda baby talking at the twins. He's got them both in papoose. And about 5 different toys swirling around his head to distract the babies while he fishes out the perfect temperature bottles out of his bag because it's feeding time and hes not going to mess up their feeding schedule because it might cause issues with the nap schedule.

Dude trips over his feet and instead of catching himself with the force so none of them get hurt he just holds the babies in the air while he face plants right in front of padmè's office.

The first time he puts the twins in different papoose' after they can hold their own heads up he forgets he's got one of them on his back.

And spends a good 5 minutes freaking out in the living room before padmè tells him that he's got both babies and leia's just right there anakin oh my gods.

Leia takes a bit longer to walk than luke does and Anakin is losing his shit over all the parenting books. He's going stir crazy even though everyone tells him some babies walk later and it's ok.

Turns out Leia could walk as early as luke did but liked being held and carried everywhere 😌 and now he's just never letting her go.

#i love goofy anakin #i think more people should write him as competent but so very dumb #anakin skywalker #no i will not listen to your anakin is a bad parent talks #i think hed be a great dad #anidala #padmè amidala #star wars

Do you think the Jedi ever held bake sales?

Like they’re a religious order, they’re monks and all, and I know I’m thinking of the typical Church bake sale and they probably didn’t do those but…

Can you imagine Anakin and Ahsoka going to extreme lengths to outdo each other, Obi-Wan claiming he’s going to stay out of it - something happens so both Anakin and Ahsoka’s bakes get ruined, probably because of their own hijinks, and Obi-Wan then waltzes in and wins?

Can you imagine Yoda trying to get some Coruscant folks to buy his deep fried frogs on a stick?

Can you imagine pre-fall!Dooku stressing over intricate pipe work and making a cake worthy of a Bake Off finale?

Can you imagine Barriss and Luminara collaborating together on a dish, silently judging Ahsoka and Anakin’s shenanigans?

Sometimes I just remember that oh right it's apparently a slightly controversial opinion that I think if Palpatine hadn't been involved at all that Anakin could've been perfectly happy and fulfilled with the Jedi.

Like just from rots we see Anakin want to follow Jedi ideals, to seek advice and even help from the very Jedi that fandom loves to act like he hates and who hate him in return, and we see the Jedi around him actually have a lot of respect for him! But every time he makes progress Palpatine is whispering in his ear and pulling out the stitches and re-opening the wounds, making it near impossible for him to actually grow as a Jedi and instead he grows closer to Falling. Not to mention the war, which was orchestrated in part to actively challenge the Jedi's morals and make them make bad and questionable choices.

Plenty of Legends canon and even current canon in things like the marvel comics show Anakin actively wrestling and considering Jedi philosophy, the pros and cons, and working through all his trauma and trying to figure out what's right for him and what the Jedi code actually means. People act like he only ever does lightsaber training and that he never picked up a book in his entire padawanship (which not only is just not how the Jedi Order works from what we see but honestly is just a boring take on the character imo).

Like, I just don't think that Anakin is actually incompatible with the Jedi Order! I think he could've thrived there if he wasn't being actively sabotaged and also had more time.

#anakin skywalker #jedi positive #pro jedi #anyway i also dont think that the jedi order is incompatible with romance just that anakin has trauma about #his interpersonal attachments and that he didnt get a great teaching on it in canon bc obi wan needs therapy #nd so never really discussed it with anakin #which is not necessarily a shot at obi wan i just think that entire lineage has communication issues lmao #like obi wan has both trauma and oin legends actual healthy relationships and exes he no longer dates #who were jedi! #but like he doesnt actually discuss this with anakin? #and tbh thats the most canon to me lmao obi wan just doesnt realize he needs to talk about it or maybe how? #anakin #sw meta #sorta lmao #jedi order

Y’know. Anakin was a real asshole in Ahsoka’s hallucination.

Like. She mentions something about what she’ll be able to teach her padawan one day, since all she’s being taught is how to be a soldier, and Anakin’s like “teaching’s not all it’s cracked up to be”

And like. Asshole move. And Ahsoka rightfully calls him out on it. And he goes on the whole “uuuh I was joking. Lighten up.” Literally a complete jackass.

But beyond how he answered the question, it’s a valid complaint Ahsoka is bringing up! Anakin’s teaching her how to live or die. But Ahsoka wants to be taught how to be a jedi.

What happens after the war is over (order 66 never happens) and she now has to navigate a galaxy without a war? The Jedi take teaching very seriously there’s no greater honor than teaching a padawan. And she’s not being accurately taught, so she will not be able to pass anything on to the next generation.

But Anakin brushes it aside because he simply does not respect her or her wishes. Like. He never wanted a padawan, despite teaching being foundational to the Jedi. And he only took ahsoka in because he started to like her and became attached to her. He doesn’t care about jedi legacy, not really. So he brushes her comment off with a joke.

But in the rest of the vision… idk it didn’t feel like we were supposed view Anakin as entirely wrong here. He wasn’t in the right, he was definitely channeling Vader and being an ass, but he was basically the reason Ahsoka survived the fall, right? Bc he was making her choose life? When Ahsoka wins against him it’s sort of like she’s both learned his lesson and moved beyond him. And then for the rest of the season he’s only talked about in positive ways.

And like. That one line ahsoka said was really powerful in relation to the entire point of the show. What does she have to pass onto her own padawan (Sabine) if she wasn’t properly trained herself? That is, perhaps, the only valid plot question asked in the entire show. And it doesn’t get an answer. It’s never even brought up again.

#I have now learned Dave filoni wrote the entire series #so I am able to say now with absolute positivity that he’s a shit writer #I had been blaming the issues that the writers went on strike for #but no it’s just filoni being a terrible writer I guess? #I mean. none of the character issues are ever really resolved #we have no reason to believe ahsoka is ready to be a master now #we have no real understanding of WHY Sabine unlocked her force powers and shit (not how it works but whatever) #Sabine never learns her lesson about letting thrawn come back #Ahsoka doesn’t get anything really resolved with Anakin #she just acts like he was never Vader and that he was a great master #when we SEE in her vision he was not #idk it’s like every character plot point was dropped #nothing happened in the first half of the show #the dark side girl had a half rebellion but we got no emotion or background from her #it was just… a pointless show #nothing was accomplished #star wars #anti ahsoka #anti anakin skywalker

au where obi-wan is a divorce lawyer and anakin has a very bad habit of getting drunk and getting married, so they see a lot of each other over the years but then obi-wan’s long term relationship ends (he proposed, she said no), so he goes and gets drunk as one does and just happens to pick the same bar as anakin

and honestly he’d take it a little bit personally if anakin DIDN’T want to marry him two drinks in. getting drunk and marrying strangers is practically anakin’s thing, and obi-wan is just drunkenly relieved someone wants to marry him. sure, not his long term girlfriend, but SOMEONE.

the problem comes when anakin doesn’t want to divorce him the morning after

#Kit’s silly lil AUs #obikin #anakin’s thought process: if he has a husband on the books he won’t be able to get married to anyone else #which is great because he’s honestly exhausted #and wants to make life changes #he’s just a romantic who no one really wants. it’s fine. he’s fine. he’s totally fine. #he just keeps getting wedding invitations and it’s gutting #maybe there’s this bitch from college and she invited him #to her wedding #and he thinks he could totally #upstage her subtly if he shows up with a smoking hot husband #anakin would be pleasantly surprised that obi-wan remembers him when they meet at the bar #obi-wan points out he doesn’t usually get a lot of repeat customers

Thoughts and prayers for Thrawn who is unknowingly about to get himself involved in the worst game show ever, “You think Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice has you stressed out? Wait until you meet his kids!”💫

#the skywalkers are the ‘unstoppable force’ to thrawns ‘immovable object’ #because he can and will plan for everything #but skywalkers are literal forces of nature #it’s like predicting a hurricane #you can do it to a great degree of accuracy #but there’s a small margin for error that may or may not lead to widespread destruction #thrawn can’t know what they’re capable of #because no skywalker knows what they’re able to do until they do it #thrawn #grand admiral thrawn #luke skywalker #anakin skywalker #leia organa

I love (hate) how Dark Disciple Clone Wars arc & the book acknowledged Asajj's character and depth like once or twice then called it a day. They did not care for her other than that, she was only there to uplift Quinlan's character the rest of it

Now this. This right here. It could've been everything. This is probably my favorite moment from that godawful arc/book. But nooooo a moment later Quinlan shows up and ruins my life like every time and Asajj almost dies 2 times because ofc

#“It's a great pity that out paths have never crossed before” #and #“such a pity you and i” #the main tcw trio and asajj parallels will always ruin me emotionally #btw this post is a half formed thought so idk if it makes any sense or says anything really #the clone wars #tcw #sw #star wars #asajj ventress #ventress #sith #dooku #count dooku #not tagging this as quinlan bc it's just me hating on him in dark disciple #dark disciple #ok ok do you ever think about how asajj mirrors at some point in her lore each of the tcw trio #ahsoka and her part is literally stated in tcw #she's the sith apprentice to anakin's jedi apprentice in og cw and she has a lot of the same backstoy as him in canon #and in the republic comics and in general she has a lot of the same role as obi-wan #idk how to explain that last one but yeah it drives me crazy #also also i love thinking about dooku as asajj's fucked up father figure #but the way he really did want to train her as his apprentice and eventually overthrow palps is like #so painful #and yeah he told her in dark disciple he didn't really but do I look like I care #daily asajj thought of the day
