One of the most interesting things about coming back to the High Republic books is keeping in mind that the intention of these books via author commentary is to show the Jedi Order at their height (at least in Disney continuity), to write them as unquestionably compassionate and caring people, but when you actually get into the books, they're often written as coming off as detached to non-Jedi, there's actually a ton of people who dislike them, there's unresolved criticisms of them. And, in a way, it actually has delivered me pretty much the perfect silver platter I could have asked for. Here's what I mean: There's a passage in Out of the Shadows where two characters are discussing the Jedi they've been traveling with and one of them says they come off as detached, that they're not connected to the real people, that they never question themselves and think they have all the answers:

This is significant because the entire book is about Vernestra Rwoh feeling constantly unsure of herself and wondering what the right answer is. To the point that I don't even really have any snippets capped of it because I couldn't possibly choose from all the examples! And the rest of the commentary feels like it just kind of comes out of nowhere, to be honest. And this is about the High Republic Jedi. The golden, glowing, perfectly compassionate and kind Jedi these authors created to be the bestest era ever. Yet within their own pages, despite that we see this criticism doesn't really fit with who the Jedi are, this is how they come off--criticisms that are pretty much exactly the same as the ones leveled at the prequels Jedi. And then!! There's a conversation between Vernestra and Cohmac:

Christ, that could have practically been ripped right from the pages of a novel set during the prequels era! I have read novels where Obi-Wan and Bail discuss basically the same situation--the Jedi are aware that politicians are not always their friends and that they're being used, but that ultimately standing with the Republic is the best way they can see to help because people are dying at the hands of the Separatists. It's the exact same situation, that the Jedi of the High Republic are being drawn into politicians' schemes and they know that, but the purpose behind standing with the Republic--to save lives that are dying at the hands of the Nihil--is the most important thing to them, that saving lives is how they serve the Force, just as the prequels Jedi stood with the Republic despite all the flaws, because it was how they best saw a way to save lives, which was serving the Force. Of course they're conflicted about being drawn into politics and how they're being manipulated, but ultimately they believe in that they have to actually work with others in order to help others, that they see it as still the best path forward. And if critiques like this are being put into High Republic books and we're never really meant to question whether the Jedi care or are good people doing their best despite that the people of the galaxy do not always understand them, that Jedi are allowed to have flaws without that making them bad people, that being less than perfect doesn't mean they fucked up, then I could not have asked for a better silver platter to say that the prequels Jedi are in the exact same situation and are misunderstood in exactly the same way! Like, some of these High Republic Jedi are so perfectly kind and compassionate that they have literally no other personality to them, other than that they're in touch with the Force and part of the Jedi Order, and they still get hit with the same criticisms? Aha, okay, I see, it's not actually about how the Jedi could have been ~more in touch~ with common people, it's that Jedi Are Just Weird Because They're Literal Psychic Space Wizards With The Energy Of The Galaxy In Their Heads and the GFFA is not always kind to those who are a little Off. I unironically enjoy this because I'm fine with unreliable speakers and propaganda within a narrative and Star Wars has always been really clear that this is a story where half of the narration is lies lies lies and you need to see through it yourself.

my favorite genre is clones meeting jedi for the first time and dealing with weird force shit. the whole concept of space wizards/monks being military leaders is so funny when u think about it.

just imagine you're a soldier since birth. you're trained to be logical and strategic. then your commanding officer struts in with no armor like "okay we're doing this battle battle plan cuz it came to me in a dream last night!" or "be alert. i'm getting bad vibes." and u can't say anything bc it's ur commanding officer but ur internal monologue is just 'what the fuck what the fuck what the-'

But can Anakin Fall if he's not even a Jedi? Obi-Wan: ... Palpatine: ... Dooku: ... Anakin: seriously, guys, I'm not a space wizard, I don't even use the Force much, please stop talking about your weird religion. I read your pamphlet to be polite and to get Obi-Wan to put clothes on, but 'Darth Sidious' sounds like a name a 12 year old picked and if you try to elevator proselytize me one more time I am reporting you to the Senate Religious Freedom Committee.

lol this is very funny but in this case. yes. He can I guess I don’t know about Canon but I thought not all Sith were Jedi — I guess Fall is easier and more evocative to say than like…become a dark side of the Force user, but he’s too powerful in the Force to NOT Fall….obi-wan is a man on a mission and he does not fail his missions

That being said I can definitely see one of the last polls in this story being like “does he Fall: yes or no” because democracy 🤭

#asks #Democratic fic #attempts will be made to convert him #at the very least #otherwise I guess it may be up to y’all 🤔

Maybe I get upset about the prequels because I can really relate to Anakin.

Like, the gripping fear in your chest when you think of your loved ones dying, when you try to imagine a life without them and all you can feel is cold.

The idea that I’m too emotional. Other people aren’t getting upset over this, why am I? Am I weaker than other people? Why do I get so angry? Why do I get so sad?

Being unable to clear my mind when I want to. Seeing other people understand these so called “social norms” but having no idea what they mean. Being unable to read people’s faces, and so assuming the worst when they speak.

Being told that I was a gifted kid. I remember everyone praising me all the time. I could read big books and I could say big words and I could understand things that went right over the heads of my peers. My teachers never tried to teach me, they always viewed me as the easy kid. I grew complacent. I never learned to learn, and I got so frustrated when I didn’t understand things. When I spent an hour on math homework only to find out that I got all the problems wrong. And it felt like, I was supposed to be good. I was supposed to be easy. What happened?

What is it about me that makes me different from other people? Why am I treated as other? Why were other kids scared of me? Why don’t I understand the things they do? How come, when I think I understand, it turns out I learned the wrong thing entirely?

I don’t know, the way the Jedi council treats Anakin hits home to me, in a lot of ways. They always seem to be looking down on him, but expect him to be fine with it. They took a kid with attachment issues, attachment issues they were well aware of, and tried to make him stop having attachment issues by forcing it.

It’s like, why did you even give him the option to begin with? Why tell him he can train when you know his emotions are out of control? Why set him up for failure like that? Some things just don’t work for some people. I’ve had to learn that, and I had to learn that all by myself. They never gave Anakin an opportunity to learn that. They kept telling him to control his emotions and they kept telling him to do it on one specific way and it was clear that that way didn’t work for him. No matter how gifted a child is, if you continuously treat them as both a nuisance and a necessity, they will start to wonder why they’re broken.

And that’s my problem with the Jedi. It seems like such a one-size-fits-all type of thing. Like, if you’re too emotional or too scarred or too weird or too different, you can’t be part of it. And it isn’t physical differences, it’s all mental. If you don’t fit their ideal, they will tell you you can’t be a Jedi or they will try to make you fit in the mold.

I recognize that I’m projecting my own emotions onto a fictional series about laser swords and space wizards. But, I can’t help that. I can’t help seeing Anakin struggle and relate because I struggled in the same way. I can’t help but side with him, because they feel so cruel to me, specifically.

Part of it is how they speak. They don’t explain things. They don’t give a reason for why they’re doing stuff. They had to have realized that Anakin’s main issues stemmed from not being informed. It seemed like they just expected him to know, and I, the audience, don’t even understand what or why or how the Jedi council makes decisions.

This isn’t everyone’s experience with the prequel movies. I understand that. And it’s completely fine to have a different experience. It’s fine to think that the Jedi didn’t do anything wrong. It’s a movie. Everyone will interpret it based on their own experiences.

This is just me exploring why I feel so upset by the Jedi. Because I do feel upset. I feel upset when they lie and when they deflect and when they treat Anakin like he should just automatically know everything. I was treated like that for years and years, by adults who were supposed to be teaching and guiding me. Those adults were supposed to help me. And all they did, in the end, was hurt me. They made me feel different and weird and broken. And I can’t help but feel like that’s how Anakin feels by the end of the trilogy.

The scene on Tatooine, where he’s tinkering with droids and he says that it used to comfort him. It struck a chord with me. He’s trying so hard to release his emotions, but he doesn’t know how to or he just plain can’t. And that makes him feel broken. And I know what that feels like.

Hey, I’ve been reading your “She Said The Word” AU religiously (I am sorry that I didn’t comment much on More Than Blood and I wish I had, but let me tell you I was eagerly reading all of it and was so incredibly happy when a new chapter came out) and I LOVE EVERY WORD, but I’m not here to write an entire novel. I’m here to say thank you for Lily Bo in particular. Lily resonates with me so, so much in every stage of her life. Her feelings, her triumphs, her struggles, her chaotic energy and how that affects her life, her trauma, her feelings toward her family, all of that is so relatable to me that it feels like I could have written her. What I wanted to thank you for, specifically, is her relationship with Tiana. It’s not a main focus and it didn’t last for very long, and of course her exact sexuality is not stated, but I am l a lesbian and that little bit of representation with a character that had already given me so much means the absolute world to me.

Maybe this doesn’t make a lot of sense and this whole thing about being grateful for a fanfic character’s love interest is weird, but I like to tell people when they’ve made me happy, and you have made me so much more than “happy” can sufficiently describe, that I sent this to you. Vor entye, ner vod.

Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Of all the characters I have added to the canon cast of characters in this AU, Lily seems to be the one that truly touches people the deepest. And I love it, and I get it.

It could be so easy to write a boring one sided family who is always 100% perfect together, but that would be so disingenuous and unrealistic. Lily, particularly, suffered trauma that literally NO ONE should suffer through at 13, and you just don't simply bounce back to normal after that. She should have baggage and issues, even if she has doting, loving supportive parents, siblings who want the best for her, and extended family (including many wonderful friends of the family from Jedi to Wrens) who think the world of her.

And as for Lily and Tiana, I'm glad you loved their bright but short little love affair (and I've also been really relieved no one has been mad that it WAS short! I have a lot of thoughts on why I did that but that's neither here nor there). Beyond my trite "no one is really 100% straight in a GFFA because sexuality and gender identity aren't issues in a world with space wizards," I do think representation MATTERS. And I think making it no big deal within the story is important, too. Lily falls for a girl, Korkie loves a man, Tol'ket talks of his first true love being a Twi'lek boy, and Bo all but admits to having been in love with Ursa. But these things are talked about easily. Without judgement or bigotry. Even though Korkie hides his love, it's only because of poor Aled's anxiety of not being worthy of a Kryze than the fact that they are gay.

Essentially, I might write a lot of angst and trauma, but I also write, in a way, a world I wish WE had.

I don't know what is in store for Lily, love wise. But I am so happy her brief little love affair made you happy. She deserves to be happy, and I think Tiana was a big catalyst in helping her start down a path that would get her there. Which just goes to show that not all meaningful relationships have to be deep and long romances like her parents.

Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble on about my girl and her family and my musings about why I write what I write. I never get tired of talking about them.

#she said the word #she said the word au #more than blood #lily bo kryze #fic writing

Tis the season and I’m bored so here’s a fun thing I noticed on my last Star Wars rewatch.

For background, I usually just watch the Lucas stuff, so episodes 1-6. I do so in a modified “Machete” Order (4-5,1-3,6) because treating the prequels as an extended flashback to explain the whole “I am your father” revelation works really well and the themes of Sith are reinforced well by Jedi. If you haven’t tried it like that give it a whirl, it’ll change your life. (Episode 1 is technically skippable but I didn’t this time).

Anyway I make it to Return of the Jedi and it’s the opening scene. And, as I’m watching it with someone, I’m about to open my mouth and make the joke that I’m sure everyone thinks of. Palpaptine is slithering next to Darth Vader looking like this:

How is no one in the room thinking something like "Are we the baddies.gif?" You know...true believers and hostages to fascism aside. I go to make the joke but I stop dead in my tracks, instead I just go, unprompted "Oh my GOD....THAT'S WHY!!" Because it finally fucking hit me

Let's remember that I JUST watched Revenge of the Sith and it's also worth noting that I have been watching the movies in this particular order for longer than some of you reading this have been alive. This is all to say that I totally should've put this together sooner but I want to share this feeling with some of you out there who may have been like me.

What slapped me in the face that day was George Lucas had answered that particular question. I was just being too much of a cool kid to see it. See, a little more background, I had always disliked an aspect of this scene:

I always thought it was stupid that Mace Windu melts Palpatine with the force lightning. It always struck me as too much. I thought of it the same way I thought of C-3PO and Chewbacca being included in the prequels, another example of George rushing to get the stuff people recognize into the movies he was dog paddling his way through. "Why couldn't he just get old and gross because it's been 20 years and he's evil?" was basically how I would frame it...because I was an idiot. At the very least, I was not really aware of what backslides into fascism look like, which is not a problem I had in America in 2022.

See it all comes together in THIS scene:

youtube

GEORGE HAS PALPATINE USE THE BURNS TO JUSTIFY ORDER 66. Here I was thinking it made everyone in the galaxy look like a dumdum because he's clearly just an evil wizard now. No, he wasn't making Palpatine Hitler in this moment. He was making him John fucking McCain (McCain wasn't a fascist per say he was just a war hero who used that to launch himself into politics). In this moment he’s using the truth, another really fun thing I noticed is that Palpatine (almost) never lies, to play on people’s sympathies and patriotism. They just GIVE HIM the power that he wanted because he rallied them behind a common enemy. In this scene he’s doing what all authoritarian strongmen do, he’s creating a mythology about himself to sell to people and he’s using the truth, or a twisted version of it, to do it. It’s fucking brilliant.

So that brings me back to the deck of the Death Star. The way I read the scene is completely different now. He's not this weird slithering space wizard, he's a fucking war hero. Every step he takes is a show of strength in the face of the enemies of the Empire. Everyone in that room would be filled with either fear for their life or a deep sense of pride in their Emperor. If George had actually come up with any of the prequels ahead of time he would have showed an officer tearing up at the Emperors bravery. Because by now we’d have a room full of guys who only know the myth.

Quick Sidebar: What's funny but not terribly surprising is this detail has been basically memory holed within the myriad of new material since the buyout. Credit where it's due, stuff like Andor and The Bad Batch have been doing a pretty good job of illustrating why people wouldn't be having the best time living under The Empire. But even Andor is falling into the trap of painting the people who operate under that regime as either under duress and secretly gumming up the works or just cartoonishly evil middle management bullies who love being in charge. This isn't wrong, but there's a missing component isn't there? Where are the MAGA hats in the Star Wars universe? Where are just the normal people, the small business owners, the farmers whatever who are just 100% bought in? I'm not saying there should be a series about this or whatever but it would be a fun detail if there were people who believed what Palpatine told them to believe about the Jedi instead of just skipping to the part where they are just an urban myth.

Think of all the rich, real world parallels you could draw! Maybe in a world where we didn't fuck up the notion of younger actors playing legacy characters we could have got a Leia story about how her Force sensitivity wasn't hidden but repressed because Jedi were despised and sent to re-education camps that they never return from. I can't think of any useful real life analog for parents having to worry about hard liners turning their force sensitive children over to the Inquisitors because they've bought into the line that Jedi are evil, can you? Either way I digress. End Sidebar

I was an idiot not to put this together sooner. But I was mostly an idiot for being so hard on George. We all were. The prequels weren't perfect, they aren't even very good, but what they are way more thoughtful and interesting than we gave them credit for at the time.

May the Force Be With You.

If this gets even one like next year I'll tell you guys how I would have fixed Episode IX.

#star wars #may the force be with you #may the 4th be with you #palpatine #are we the baddies #film #george lucas #return of the jedi #revenge of the sith #We should have been nicer to George

This for @ankahikoibaat or whoever. Your take is garbage and so I’m gonna address it point by point.

I’m a very blunt and hyperbolic person but I ain’t tryna be rude to you, OP, i just think that you really taking Star Wars more seriously than it is with this one.

Let me say that I’m not y’all I look at the Jedi order the same way I look at Stand users from jojos bizarre adventure. I don’t consider the Jedi to be some special religion.

They’re mfs with powers and so idgaf about they fake ass no deity headass “religion”. Mfs who followed my man’s Dio Brando had more religious credibility than the space magicians

Considering how canon is in Star Wars, I think that all of it is far game. Star Wars doesn’t have a consistent canon. So people can pull from it inconsistently. Y’all say “Star Wars is folklore” to justify the weird canon bullshit then get mad when people treat it like folklore.

However, one thing that remains clear is that the Jedi just let the worst criminal organization have the time of they life without even killing them all off and taking control of the syndicate.

There are no hutt aligned force users. There’s no excuse for this.

If giorno did it than the Jedi can too.

Imo them not ending the Hutts’ shit is why they’re an immoral and almost evil entity. Like there’s no excuse. They have the entire resources of the government.

Again, Giorno Giovanna would NEVER

Like I said, I don’t think the Jedi are a religion. They’re just some bitches in with power who don’t do shit with it even though they claim to have some moral righteousness.

The Jedi have no gods. No culture. No traditions. No customs. They’re space x men so if you have that amount of power then you being a useless ass bitch becomes evil by apathy.

They’re a religion when it comes to not doing shit but suddenly stop being when they want to take over the republic.

They have to mediate and be closer to the force so they can’t spend the weekend wiping out a criminal syndicate but they have all the time in the world to do a religious coup.

The sith are evil but at least bitches proactive and not lazy as fuck until it’s time to overthrow the current government leader

I mean yeah who’s saying otherwise?

Look outside of mfs clowning the Jedi I’ve never seen a mf who doesn’t fuck with the sith iconically. And even then, I wouldn’t get all pissy about it.

Like imagine being morally hurt because somebody likes La Squadra more than Bucci Gang.

It’s fictional. These are space x men.

Why do y’all always conflate the space wizards with Buddhist? Shit is so insulting that you think your rock moving space bitches is remotely similar to a real religion.

This shit is so far removed from reality. Unless you really fucking detached.

No one who isn’t yall views the Jedi as a religion, inspired or not. Bitches kinda just see them as superheroes or some shit.

If I was a Buddhist I would mad as fuck that you think my religious leaders and ideology is on the same level as the space wizards with the green immortal gremlin

If you think that then please get some help. Shit goofy as hell.

The word replacing arguments are non arguments.

I could say “replace ‘Dio Brando’ in the phrase ‘Dio Brando is evil’ with ‘all women’ and youre regurgitating misogynistic talking points. Congrats’

Like no shit yeah if you replace a word or phrase then it has a different meaning?

No offense to Op but this an remedial ass argument. Try harder next time

At the end of the day, Star Wars is fiction.

With fiction, emotional connection and likability is more important than morality in the story is. These are fictional characters, so if they kill a bitch you don’t care about, it’s not a big deal because who cares?

I don’t cry when I intentionally run over a npc in gta. I won’t cry when one fictional characters fucks up another one because it’s fake.

Again, maybe I’m just not hypersentive nor have I ever felt a real emotional connection to any Star Wars character because they’re not relatable.

Like I wouldn’t say that someone is promoting gang activity because they play saints row or like Scarface, so why would say that a bitch who likes the Empire is supporting fascism?

Majority people can emotionally and mentally separate reality from fiction. It’s why somebody can play CoD but not do the shit shown in CoD.

Like being real, Dio Brando in Stardust Crusaders and Phantom Blood is more evil than the Empire is.

I don’t give a fuck if some random ass planet is blown up or they mean to ET aliens. I don’t know these bitches. I don’t know anybody from Alderaan so I ain’t getting emotionally wreck because a fake planet is blown up by a fake battleship in a fake universe.

But a bitch cares if Kakyoin and Jonathan Joestar is killed. A bitch still lowkey mourning Jonathan Joestar’s death when I see his death scene. Why? Because I give a fuck about them.

Bitch like me be giggling watching the order 66 scene. Because I personally love watching fictional characters I don’t care about get owned. Plo Koon’s starship nosediving? Funny.

Why? He a fictional character he have no soul or humanity. His actor is fine and living good. Real people and fictional characters don’t have remotely the same amount of worth to me

But there a real momentary pang in my heart when I think of Leone Abbacchio and Narancia Ghirga’s death because I don’t have an connection with the Jedi order as viewer, I been with those two mfs since the start of the Part of JoJo.

Yeah, they voice actors good but shit dawg I can’t believe those characters who I liked went out like that

Conclusion

To end this, I think this entire argument is stupid. I don’t really connect to the Jedi.

I like sith more because they act like jojo villains. they have wild powers, act flamboyant and extra, and wear goody outfits. That shit is the closest to jojo I can get in Star Wars.

But even then, like I don’t care that much.

Sidious my favorite Star Wars character and each time I see him die I be laughing because the dumbass bitch deserved it

Op, I’m really not tryna be rude to you with this but please understand that you’re taking Star Wars too seriously.

What fictional side in a fake story somebody like have little bearing on their morality and worldviews. I really think you should detach from Star Wars and get back in touch with reality because Star Wars isn’t deep.

The thing about Star Wars is that it's philosophically founded on the idea that at the very least once you have become a particular kind of space knight wizard, having normal emotions about things and/or doing any kind of fucking is a slippery slope that will eventually give you a weird skin condition and yellow eyes and make you a fascist who can choke people with telekinesis, and while it's understandable that this a holdover from the kinds of martial religious traditions George Lucas was attempting to evoke with the Jedi in the first place, the big problem that the franchise runs into is that this and/or the terrestrial philosophical equivalents are in reality not actually true at all no matter how much various conservative religious traditions want them to be.

And Star Wars knows this but is powerless to do anything about it which is why the franchise is at its worst and starts getting really weird like it's experiencing a floating point rounding error whenever it is time to actually explain or depict what the fuck having a normal love life/strong emotions and being filled with evil shadow magic that makes you shoot lightning from your hands actually have to do with each other.

#It's not an answerable question because the answer is 'fucking nothing'#The recklessness that can result from experiencing and being unable to manage strong emotions does not lead to being mentally corrupted #In any way that avoidance of the emotions would actually fix #And so Star Wars' explanation is always 'it's just kinda something that magically happens to you as a sort of metaphysical punishment'#Which is weird and dumb and narratively unsatisfying.

So I was thinking about the whole "is Jaster a good parent or just good in comparison to context" conundrum and various "Jaster adopts a character" stuff.

I slid sideways into "via time travel and typical shenanigans, Jango is accidentally adopted by Obi-Wan."

Possibly Jango forces the issue and Obi-Wan has no idea what's going on. He just. Has this kid now.

I want to say he's stressed late-twenties and has literal tween Anakin with him. They just landed in the Fett Farm Fight and Obi-Wan was like "???? I see Kyr'tsad so I guess I know who the bad guys are?"

He's not trying to kill people, because killing people without getting the scope of the situation is how you get things like Grievous. Unfortunately, a few people are trying to kill him, and one person definitely tries to kill Anakin, and Obi-Wan has to Defend His Boy.

Jango just goes "!!!!! You protect your kid, so I shall also be your kid."

His parents are already dead and he's very angry about that, but this weird confused Jedi just killed the Death Watch commando who killed Jango's parents, and the SECOND the fighting was over the Jedi started FUSSING over his kid, and Anakin is trying to put on a brave face and Jango is also trying to put on a brave face but he's several years younger and also just watched his parents die so he kinda starts crying on Obi-Wan and then refuses to let go and now.

Now Obi-Wan is this kid's dad, somehow. And the kid is Jango Fett. And the year is wrong.

And Anakin's looking at him for Answers and Obi-Wan does not have those answers and everything's a mess and Obi-Wan might also start crying oh fuck oh god oh no.

Obi-Wan: Oh hell I need to get back to the Jedi and-- Jaster: No, no, you're with us now. Obi-Wan: NO???? Jaster: Do you WANT to lead Kyr'tsad back to your Order? They've already got a fight with us, we don't have a choice of avoiding the battles when they're directly targeting our people, but the Jedi aren't involved... yet. Obi-Wan: [internal screaming]

HE JUST WANTS TO GO HOME BUT HE'S BEEN FORCIBLY REVERSE-ADOPTED BY THE TINY VERSION OF AN INFAMOUS BOUNTY-HUNTER-SLASH-JEDI-KILLER AND POLITICALLY-CO-OPTED-SLASH-REVERSE-UNO-STOLEN BY THE TRUE MANDALORIANS

Anakin's never had to share a parent-figure before. The jealousy is STRESSFUL and Obi-Wan has to try to channel this into "maybe I can awaken Anakin's latent big brother instincts, if he has any" which works but is then stressful for OTHER reasons, and these reasons include both of the kids biting people, sometimes each other but mostly people they deem to be Threats.

I think Jaster views Obi-Wan as like. A Neat Trick. Imagine being a middle-aged revolutionary with an army and someone plops a grad student space wizard with an angry middle schooler in your general sphere of influence. The grad student is overwhelmed and trying to keep two children from crying and the only things that calm him down are tea, lightsaber forms, and paperwork.

The guy can do space magic but no, he's calming down by filling out paperwork.

...I guess Obi-Wan accidentally railroads himself into being Jaster's intern???

It’s been an entire week since I shoved a bunch of STAR WARS fic recs at everyone, but I’m back with more because this fandom is amazing and ones that are some real doozies, like, I inhaled some of this fic and absolutely needed to scream about it. Whether it’s time travel fic (so many good time travel recs holy crap) or throwing two random characters together (time traveling Cal as Obi-Wan’s padawan, I never knew I needed that in my life!) or good character pieces for those who deserve it (Mace Windu my beloved) or some absolutely feral Obi-Wan and Anakin dynamics or peeling back Anakin Skywalker’s character like an onion until you see all the fascinating complexity underneath or Jedi Order worldbuilding (I love those weird psychic space wizards so much), there’s a little something for everyone here, I hope. One thing I will always appreciate about this fandom is that, whatever else you might say about it, there are some tremendously talented people writing fic that makes me fall in love with the characters all over again, who bring comfort with their writing when we’re having a bad day or bad week, who brighten up the world just by being in it and sharing their crafts with us, who make my world better just by being there. People who love these silly characters from our shows just as much as I do and are having some fun out there and giving me a whole lot of feelings and even the occasional sexy times fic to make the day just that much more fun to get through. I may say this every time, but it always remains true, this list is just banger after banger for me, every one of these made my brain light up with joy or fizziness because it was so good and punched me right in the feelings or the fun, fritzing out my thoughts place, to the point that I cannot believe I have 45+ of them for just this one set! And I’ll have that same amount to do again next time! There are so many in my to-write-recs for pile! Because this fandom is just nuts with how amazing it is and I love everyone in this bar for it. STAR WARS FIC RECS: PREQUELS RECS: ✦ Unexpected Awakening (The Rewrite) by Rhiw, obi-wan & qui-gon & bruck & feemor & jaster & dooku & rael & cast, time travel, 127.9k wip The life of General Kenobi is cut short at the hands of his Padawan, but the sight that greets his eyes upon awakening is not that of blinding light of the Force, but the Jedi Temple he knew when he was still a youth. As he struggles to understand the path laid out before him, Obi-Wan unwittingly captures the attention of a singularly unusual Temple Guard, and that of a reluctant Qui-Gon Jinn. ✦ Crazy Centaxday by Killbothtwins, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka & cody & padme & mace & palpatine & cast, body swap, 4.8k Anakin and Obi-Wan are having an… out of body experience. Unfortunately, no one seems to be noticing. Fortunately, the Team’s weird shenanigans might be enough to save the galaxy in the end. Just why are Skywalker and Kenobi acting so out of character? ✦ A Jedi’s Cloak by ImperialKatwala, obi-wan & anakin & qui-gon & cody & rex & cast, 6.4k Or: Jedi cloaks are weird. Here’s a series of events showing why they’re made that way. ✦ a distant fire is burning by e_va, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka & cal & cody & cast, time travel, 32.9k wip Cal Kestis can move backwards in time (kinda-sorta-not really), and his confrontation with Darth Vader in the Fortress Inquisitorius plays out a lot differently. Fixing the timeline while stuck in his 10-year-old body will be quite the task, but Cal is up to it. He has to be. (Obi-Wan, Anakin, and the clone troopers have no idea what to make of Kenobi’s weird new padawan. At least the kid fits in, though.) ✦ all in mail, never clinking by calika, obi-wan & ahsoka, 2.9k Of course, it’s only after she’s been thoroughly humbled by the deceptively slippery rocks and swallowed what feels like half the stream that her grandmaster, having arrived unnoticed, deigns to speak. ✦ Saving People Counts as Revenge, Right? by ImperialKatwala, dooku & obi-wan & anakin, time travel, 4.3k wip Count Dooku of Serenno is an intelligent man. His methods may be a bit severe, and he may not be allowed true freedom to plan campaigns in the war he helped create, but he has always had an eye for strategy. Moving the pieces around the board and plotting out where they will need to be next. So, when he opens his eyes after Anakin Skywalker cut his head off, he knows to take a moment to assess what’s going on. ✦ eat well; be well by gingerbeer, rainsoaked_benevolence (oceans_bluem), obi-wan & ahsoka & mace & yoda & shaak & feemor & depa & quinlan & aayla & kanan & jedi cast, 18.6k Or, Obi-Wan and his (almost full) family gathers to drink tea. ✦ Garberwool by Blue_Sunshine, obi-wan & anakin, 1k Or: Old Ben Kenobi has a question. Young Obi-Wan Kenobi has a vision. And Darth Vader is left with… a robe. ✦ mazarine by maragny, anakin/aayla, NSFW, 3.6k Anakin and Aayla take advantage of finally being on the same planet as each other. ✦ a soul that’s born in cold and rain/knows sunlight by Killbothtwins, obi-wan & qui-gon & anakin & cast, time travel, 43.4k Obi-Wan Kenobi travels back in time to fix things. He also annoys a lot of people. ✦ Patterns Form and Feel Important (It Overwhelms the Nervous System) by ImperialKatwala, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka & cody & cast, 8.6k Obi-Wan and his Padawans have been captured. Obi-Wan has been betrayed. Obi-Wan is dead. Obi-Wan is fighting his Padawan. Obi-Wan is being forced to turn on the people he loves. Obi-Wan is locked up and barely holding onto consciousness. All of these things are true. And yet only one of them is real. ✦ from the wild winds around you by gingerbeer, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka & cast, 2.3k Or, the Mortis arc goes a little bit sideways. (It’s fine. Don’t worry.) ✦ Creché Duty by sadieadlersimp (ethantorchiomybeloved), anakin & grogu & cast, 1.3k Anakin Skywalker gets put in charge of the toddlers while Yoda attends an emergency council meeting. Surely the Chosen One can handle a few toddlers, no? (Spoiler alert, he can’t.) ✦ On Hugs and Warm Blankets by moonlightpadawan, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka & cast, 1.3k [or: Anakin’s reaction to pain meds leaves him acting overly affectionate.] ✦ Lightsaber Lesson by AdaliaK, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka, 3.1k Anakin and Ahsoka’s relationship goes through some growing pains when Anakin disciplines Ahsoka by taking away her lightsaber. Obi-Wan is an amused bystander. ✦ Last Rites by Siri_Kenobi12, obi-wan & ahsoka & mace & cast, 3k “I’m so sorry Ahsoka.” He said after a moment with a slight tremble in his voice. “I know from experience how it feels to have someone you love die in your arms. To feel them take their last breath…” Obi-Wan is back from the dead, he tries to help his Grand-Padawan through her grief. ✦ deep cuts by gigglesandfreckles, anakin & satine (referenced obi-wan/satine), 3.8k [or: anakin ends up on a mission with satine, things are tense.] ✦ How to Train your Droid by hellowkatey, obi-wan & anakin & ahsoka & rex, 2.9k A bored and michevious Anakin Skywalker is a recipe for something to go awry. After all, reprograming Artoo’s language core is a great idea for a prank… but it turns out, Artoo has a lot to say. OBI-WAN/ANAKIN RECS: ✦ Electric Love by thedeadparrot, obi-wan/darth vader, NSFW, 3.4k Vader stepped forward, deeper into the cell, and reached out one hand. It pressed against Obi-Wan’s tunic, clean metal meeting dirty fabric. Vader’s suit only had the most rudimentary of sensors – he preferred to use the Force over his physical hands. But this was Obi-Wan Kenobi offered up for him, and nothing less than physical touch would do. ✦ Redolent of you by Himboskywalker, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, omegaverse, undercover mission, 15.5k wip Anakin and Obi-Wan are sent on an undercover operation as an alpha and omega bonded pair in the middle of the Clone Wars. Someone on Cantonica is funneling credits to the Separatists, and it’s going to take infiltrating a top secret alpha-supremacist group of Core elites to find out who’s upping the financial ante of the entire war. This act of espionage is going to require some class A play at antiquated alpha and omega dynamics, only problem is Anakin has never submitted in his life and it’s certainly not within his nature,or so Obi-Wan thinks. ✦ tender like a bruise by stardies, obi-wan/anakin & cast, NSFW, omegaverse, 15k wip In a stroke of desperation, Obi-wan mates Anakin Skywalker by force on the fiery planet of Mustafar to stop his Fall and save his life. Taken back to Coruscant and imprisoned, Anakin feels the senate’s pressure for justice, and Obi-wan, his mate and former mentor, is determined to give him another chance. ✦ Neutron star collision by thedunesea, obi-wan/anakin & cast, NSFW, 113k wip In the aftermath of Order 66, Anakin Skywalker’s miraculous survival after his confrontation with the new Sith Apprentice Darth Vader ignites a sparkle of hope in the remaining Jedi, in the fledgling rebellion and, above all, in his former Master, who thought he had lost everything to darkness. But darkness is generous, and it is patient. ✦ How to Save a Galactic Republic Without Really Trying by Sharp_Tongue, obi-wan/anakin & mace & quinlan & cast, nsfw, time travel, 23.9k After defeating Vader on a barren, nameless moon, Obi-Wan had let go of the past. But the past hadn’t let go of him. ✦ Heal Me, My Darling by wasureneba, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 12.4k Anakin gets sick. Obi-Wan takes care of him. For two weeks. Alone. ✦ Suckerpunch by intermundia, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 13.6k In this universe, Obi-Wan goes to check on Anakin about Clovis after Anakin’s violent altercation with his rival, instead of before, and everything changes. Padmé has already kicked him out for scaring her, and he’s in a crisis of loneliness and grief. He breaks down, and Obi-Wan is there to pick up the pieces, even if the weight of Anakin’s crimes is too heavy to imagine. ✦ Slow Learner by Is0lde, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, 12.6k Four times Anakin tried to fit Obi-Wan’s big dick inside him and one time he managed it. ✦ Hold Fast by Ripki, obi-wan/anakin & padme & cast, nsfw, time travel, 41.4k The Republic and the Jedi Order have fallen, people everywhere facing a dark future. His world shattered, Obi-Wan tries to change the fate of the whole galaxy – and not least because he cannot let go of the man he loves. But will Anakin hinder or help him? ✦ Baby, It’s Halloween (And We Can Be Anything) by secretsolarsystem, obi-wan/anakin & cast, NSFW, modern au, 5.3k Anakin goes to his office’s annual Halloween party, looking hot as hell and fully intending to get drunk with his work friends. He can hardly enjoy himself, though, seeing as his work crush never comes to the office parties. ✦ For He, too, is King by MayMeows, obi-wan/anakin & padme & cast, NSFW, historical au, 7.7k “I am here to present myself to the man who now calls himself King of my people.” ✦ pure uncomplicated love by TheSopherfly, obi-wan/anakin & cast, NSFW, modern au, 4.2k Hours before he’s due to arrive at Open Circle Studios’ annual celebration, screen actor Anakin Skywalker finds out that his ex, Obi-Wan Kenobi, will be in attendance. Anakin wishes he could be angry—but all he wants is for Obi-Wan to take him back. ✦ Fever by dirkygoodness, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, nyanakin, 3.5k Obi-Wan wakes up to a cuddly (Ny)Anakin and is met with something he isn’t expecting.

And enjoy himself as he does. ✦ Hooked on You by whohatessand, obi-wan/anakin & padme & bail, NSFW, modern au, infidelity, 5.2k With his wife’s approaching senatorial election, Anakin Skywalker tries desperately to be the perfect husband she needs. Little does Padmé know, her husband has been sleeping with her campaign manager, Obi-Wan Kenobi, for quite a while now. ✦ The Same Cloth (in foreign stars) by Himboskywalker, obi-wan/anakin & dooku & quinlan & cody & rex, NSFW, historical au, 11.1k wip Welcome to 18th century Scotland, the only thing Anakin likes here is Obi-Wan Kenobi in a kilt. ✦ such selfish prayers (and i can’t get enough) by decideophobia, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, ~1k He keeps taking whatever Anakin offers him: takes it with possessive hands, a greedy heart and a gluttonous soul, and the dying embers of a guilty conscience. ✦ sail through the deep, the dark of space by treescape, obi-wan/anakin, NSFW, space pirates au, 2.7k They slipped in and out with the Empire none the wiser.

Talk It Out | SWTCW

Pairing: Captain Rex x OC

Words: 2.7k

Warning: Nothing really.

Series: Part 1 | Part 2 (You’re here!)

A/N: Hello everyone! Here’s chapter 2 of my Captain Rex series. Not really proud of this piece. Never been good in describing serious scenes, but I did my best! I’ve been working on and off with it, and I might as well finish it now that I have the time for it. Anyways, hope you like it! And there will be a Chapter 3!

Taycora twirled her wrench in her hand, lost deep in her thoughts. It’s been 2 weeks since her date with Rex, and he was acting strange.

The day after the date, Taycora had crossed his path near the barracks, and she casually greeted him, doing her best not to blush or stutter too much. But he was stiff as a board and greeted her far too formally. He used her work title in their greeting. She can’t recall the last time he has done that.

Taycora thought that maybe he was nervous or embarrassed after their date, especially her kissing his cheek. But she didn’t expect him to act so differently. And it wasn’t just Rex acting strange.

Echo and Kix have always been the formal ones within the group, but they appeared hesitant and awkward around her. As if they were being careful with their words.

With Fives and Jesse, her suspicions were completely enforced. The boys who are the most talkative and open, were now nervous. Practically skittish, looking for ways to leave her presence.

Did our date go that bad that even the others are avoiding me? She thought to herself but she quickly dismissed it. No, of course not. If that was true, then why would Rex ask me on another date? But then...why is he acting like we just met?

“Is everything okay?”

Taycora jumped at the voice, the wrench flying out of her hands. She struggled to catch it, but it ultimately bounced off her foot and onto the ground. “Poodoo!” She hissed at the pain, rubbing the spot until the pain subsided. “No, Anakin. Everything is not okay.” She growled.

“I can tell. I felt your emotions all the way from my quarters,” he said before gently placing a hand on her shoulder. “What’s worrying you?”

Looking around her, noticing all the clones around in the hangar. Leaving somewhere private may raise suspicion, and it may start rumors about the Jedi. Which is not a good thing. Sighing, Taycora answered in Huttese, noticing the look of discontent on her brother’s face. But she continued to speak.

“It’s Rex and the boys. They’re acting weird around me. Too formal and jumpy. I don’t know why though. I’m starting to think that Rex might not have enjoyed our date.” Her voice lightly trembled at the last part, her hand nervously tugging at her overalls.

“Well, I can tell you without a doubt that Rex had a great time with you,” Anakin replied, begrudgingly speaking in Huttese. Taycora was glad that her brother took the hint, not wanting the nearby clones listening in to their conversation. “I think it’s my fault for his behavior.”

Taycora blinked in confusion, her eyebrows knitting together. “What do you mean?”

Anakin groaned, rubbing the back of his neck. “I ah...told them that you were my sister.”

“Dank farrik, Anakin! What were you thinking?!” Taycora yelled in rage, her voice echoing through the hangar. She didn’t care if she caught the attention of the clones. “I’ve kept our relationship a secret because of this!” She shouted in Huttese, still mindful of not letting the clones know what they were saying.

“It was slip of the tongue! I’m sorry. I was just happy that you two had such a great time on your date that I let it slip,” Anakin’s eyebrow knitted, feeling guilty. He lightly placed his hand on her shoulder before speaking. “Look, I really am sorry. Let me fix this. Wh---hey, I’m serious,” he playfully nudged Taycora after seeing her skeptical expression.

“Alright, great space wizard. How are you going to fix this?” Taycora asked, crossing her arms with a raised eyebrow.

“Oh, I have an idea in mind,” Anakin smugly answered with a smirk. “Leave everything to me.”

--------------------------

Captain Rex was walking through the Resolute, datapad in hand. The 501st were being sent to a planet to provide supplies such as food, tools and needed repairs after suffering a natural disaster. It was a change of pace compared to being constantly thrown from one battlefield to another.

He paused his reading when he read the list of repairs, frowning deeply. Taycora has been on his mind since their date, his heart beating fast and his emotions a mess. He couldn’t believe that she and Anakin were related. But Anakin isn’t a Devaronian. He’s all human. Does that mean each sibling has separate fathers? Does that also mean that Anakin was a slave?

Rex had so many questions, so many conflicting emotions that his first instinct was to keep his distance from Taycora. Even then, he knew that he shouldn’t give her lies as excuses just to get away from her. It wasn’t right and instead, he should seek answers and talk to her. But he just couldn’t. He’s mad at her, but not at the same time.

There has to be a reason for her secrecy, Rex thought before accidentally bumping someone around the corner. “Commander Tano! My apologies, I wasn’t paying attention.”

“It’s okay, Rex. Actually, Anakin was looking for you,” Ahsoka grinned. Rex raised an eyebrow in confusion. “He has?”

“Yup. Follow me!” Ahsoka turned around, a smirk on her face as she led the way. Without question, Rex followed, keeping up behind her.

The walk between them was quiet, Rex following without a second thought. After a couple of turns, Rex thought to ask why the General wanted to talk to him. He was lost in his thought that he didn’t realize that they weren’t heading towards the bridge. They then made another turn and Rex recognized a specific door, and they were getting closer to it.

“Ahsoka...” Rex said questioningly. Suddenly, the door next to them opened, revealing Anakin. Rex then felt a familiar sensation before feeling himself flying through the air. The clone softly landed on his back, inside another room. “Sorry, Rex. You’ll thank us later!” Anakin smiled before waving his hand, the door closing.

Rex jumped to his feet, racing to the door, only to realize that it was locked. He witnessed Anakin doing this before, locking and unlocking doors with the Force. He knew that there was no getting out until the Jedi said so.

“By the way, this was not my idea.” Turning around, Rex spotted Taycora sitting on her bed. “You and I both know that once Anakin sets his mind on something, there’s no changing it.”

“Yeah, I know all too well,” he hummed in agreement. Taycora and Rex stared at each other, his face unreadable because he was wearing his helmet. It made her more nervous. She hated Anakin’s idea of shoving and locking Rex in a room with her. She knew that it wouldn’t sit well with Rex, and maybe make the situation worse. But what else was there to do? Well, there’s no turning back now. What’s done is done.

“Rex, we need to talk,” Taycora patted the spot next to her, a sheepish smile on her face. The captain was still for a few seconds before joining her. He removed his helmet, placing it next to him on the bed. “I know why you’ve been avoiding me. Anakin told you about us. About us being siblings,” she finally looked at him, too nervous to do so before.

There were conflicting emotions on the clone’s face, still making it difficult to read what’s going through his mind. Which made it harder to face him. It would have been easier talking to him with the helmet on, she gulped. “I just want to know why you didn’t tell me. You must have a reason,” Rex said, facing her.

“I-I do have my reasons. Really, I do.” Taycora stuttered nervously. She let out a sigh, licked her lips before continuing. “Anakin’s my baby brother. He has achieved so much, and I’m proud of him. I really am, but he has cast a large shadow over me.” She sadly laughed at the last part. “I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you about me and Anakin. I just...I didn’t want you to treat me differently.” Taycora mumbled the last, tightly gripping her overalls.

Rex watched Taycora, how anxious and perhaps even scared after answering his question. He softly frowned before sighing. “I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have avoided you like that. No doubt I hurt your feelings, and I'm sorry. I was just stunned, and I didn't know what to do. I should have talked to you though."

"It's okay. Wouldn't be the first time someone acted how you did. Others reacted worse. It's one reason I stay quiet about it. Anakin is the most popular Jedi to talk about, especially when the war started. I heard all of his stories while I settled on Coruscant. I could have told everyone that I was related to him, but who would believe me? Plus, as famous he was getting, I could have become a target. That's another reason why I stayed quiet.”

Rex silently watched Taycora with a small frown. To be so close to her brother, yet still so far. It was must have been torture. Being on a new planet too, all alone with no one to turn to, it must have been terrifying. “When did you and the General reunite?” Rex asked, his body shifting so he was facing her better.

“Anakin and Obi-Wan were going to get some lunch at a nearby diner, but they heard that a disturbance was happening at my job. They raced there to find me armed with a knife, keeping a thief from escaping with stolen credits,” Taycora sheepishly laughed, recalling that memory. “I must have looked like a madman because Anakin aimed his lightsaber at me. My boss and coworkers saved me from being skewered by him.”

Taycora recalled what happened, remembering the heat of the lightsaber near her face, her coworkers yelling that she was a worker.

“I think it would be best to lay down our weapons and listen to what the young ladies have to say, Anakin.” The bearded Jedi said, the young Padawan obeying and the lightsaber retracting.

Taycora’s grip loosens, the knife clattering onto the ground. She stared wide-eyed at the younger Jedi, her mouth agape. “A..Anakin?” She whispered, her voice trembling. “Is that really you?”

The younger Jedi looked at her with confusion written on his face. But after a few seconds of staring at each other, something clicked between them. Anakin rushed over to Taycora, the girl doing the same and both tackled each other in a tight embrace.

“Sister!” Anakin cried as the girl wept. “My brother!” They found themselves on their knees, pressed against the cold floor, wiping each other’s tears off. They couldn’t believe that they found each other.

“I knew that my brother was on Coruscant, I just didn’t know how to make contact. The temple is off-limits to regular folks, and who would believe a half-Devaronian being related to the great Anakin Skywalker? All I could do is hope that one day, we would happen to meet somewhere on the planet.”

“I’m glad that you two are together again,” Rex smiled and Taycora happily returned it before speaking. “After that, Anakin helped me get into engineering, and the rest you already know. And here we are,” she chuckled weakly. “Now you know my reasoning.”

Rex nods his head, shifting his weight, more comfortable now. “Thank you for telling me everything.”

“I’m just sorry that I agreed to Anakin’s plan. Forcing pushing you and stuff,” she sheepishly laughed. “I’m getting used to being pushed and tossed around,” Rex shrugged before chuckling after a few seconds of silence. “For a moment, I thought you fancied the General,” Rex admitted, laughing at Taycora’s expression. “Ew! Gross! Why would you think that?” She asked.

“Well, you’re always teasing him. Calling him nicknames and playfully bumping his shoulders. Even Commander Tano was becoming suspicious,” the clone answered and Taycora teasingly smirked at him. “If I didn’t know any better, I would say that you were jealous,” she grinned.

Rex blushed before looking away. “Well, maybe a little,” he embarrassingly muttered. Taycora was surprised to hear this confession from him. Rex was jealous? She wondered how long the clone captain felt that way, and what other emotions he had towards her.

“Then I hope you don’t mind your brothers snickering behind your back with all the teasing I have planned for you now,” Taycora went to lay her hand on his before reconsidering. “unless...if me being a Skywalker changes anything---”

“No no no! I don’t want anything to change between us,” Rex almost panicked, cupping her hand between his gloved ones. “I know the way I acted was wrong. I was confused, angry, and...I’m sorry. Skywalker or not, you are you and I still want to be friends.”

She softly sighed in relief, smiling at the clone. “Thanks, Rex. I’m glad to hear that.” Taycora noticed that Rex was still holding her hand before softly grasping one, nervously biting her lower lip. “But Rex, I...I want to be more than friends.” The Captain sharply inhaled, eyes going wide and shoulders tense. “I know that we started on the wrong foot with my secrets, but I want to try again. Only if you want to,” she shyly looked back at him, her cheeks darkly colored.

Taycora felt like her heart was going to explode, feeling it beating at an alarming pace. Was she being too forward? Did she jump the gun and move things too quickly? Even though Rex said that he doesn’t want things to change between them, does he still want to date?

The wheels in her head must have been visible because Rex lightly chuckled and gently cupped her cheek. She saw a comforting smile on his face and slowly relaxed, leaning into his hand that was so warm and large. His heart fluttered in utter bliss at the sight before him. Rex leaned forward, pressing his lips on her forehead in a tender kiss. “I still plan to take you on another date, remember?”

“Yeah, I remember! And I’m definitely going to take you back to the arcade. I still have room for more plush toys.” Taycora giggled and Rex laughed, the two smiled at each other with joy and love reflected in their eyes.

The situation between them had been resolved in a positive manner, the two grateful for it. Then a loud knocking was heard at the door, startling the two of them. “You two done making up already?” Anakin called out to them from the other side.

Taycore laughed, shaking her head. “Yes, Kenny! We’re all good!” She looked back at Rex before getting up. “C’mon. I still need to explain everything to others.”

“And I’ll be there to help,” Rex got to his feet. He took her hand in his, Taycora looking up at him before smiling, lacing their fingers together. They knocked on the door and a few seconds later, Anakin had unlocked the door. “Told you my plan would work.” He smirked at his sister.

“What are you talking about? I did all the work. All you did was push Rex and locked the two of us up,” she huffed before walking passed him, still holding Rex’s hand.

“You’re welcome!” Anakin sarcastically called out to them.

---------------------------------------------

Later that day, and after explaining everything to the others, Taycora went to visit her brother at his room. The Jedi was at his desk, putting away his datapad for the day. “You talked to the others?”

“Yup. And no doubt the rest of the 501st will know that we’re siblings,” Taycora answered as she picked up one of his trinkets.

Anakin hummed before stretching his arms up. “Well! All’s well that ends well,” he groaned before sighing after lowering his arms. Then, he felt two arms wrapping around from behind him and a light kiss on his head.

“Thank you, baby bro. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gone out with Rex in the first place,” Taycora told Anakin, hugging him. Anakin smiled, placing his hand on her arm. “Any time, big sis.” He then winced before exclaiming “Ouch!”

Taycora had punched his arm, purposely hitting him where he wasn’t covered in armor. “And that’s for putting me and Rex through all this drama,” she huffed while crossing her arms.

“Hey, that’s what younger siblings are for,” he smirked at her. Taycora rolled her eyes but had a smile on her face before ruffling his brown locks. “Still love you,” she said.

“Love you too,” Anakin replied, watching her leave with a happy bounce in her steps.

still haven't slept so brain is still on full "brr dumb ster wers" ideas BUT

IMAGINE WITH ME: Anakin in fact, DOES leave the Order either post the Hardeen arc or the Ahsoka leaves episodes, right?

Granted he's married to a relatively popular and famous and probably wealthy core politician. And there's probably some weird nebulous merch out there with his face/name on it due to his relative fame that he probably has some variation of rights to know as a private citizen, but that's going to be wrapped up in law suits and all and not immediately viable, but he's married!! He's a free man!! He basically adopted his padawan without his wife's prior consent!

He would like to contribute to the house hold!!!

Granted, also, Anakin-the-arm-candy-house-husband, Anakin the trophy bride, is very very tasty and I applaud anyone and everyone who subscribes to this ideal to sally forth and enjoy yourselves.

But let's be frank, it'd be five minutes at a political party of some sort for someone to say something snarky and backhanded about Padme for Ani's immediate reaction to be to put whoever opened their mouth in the hospital.

Not very good arm-candy if said trophy is busting kneecaps in your honor. Flattering? Yes. Useful to further your political nominally pacifist goals? Mmmmm not reeeeally.

SO, in the effort of Anakin Making Himself Useful and Being Good and Therefore Deserving of Love and Affection (please. please. get some therapy by all the little gods. please.) Anakin comes up with Immediate Plans for Funding to both: a) provide monetary compensation to his household for his many short comings, b) provide funding for Lawyers both Copyright and Legal to defend both his name as a citizen of the Republic and also TO GET THE CLONES RIGHTS AS SENTIENCE, WHICH IS ALSO WEIRDLY A COPYRIGHT ISSUE, WHICH ANAKIN FIRMLY AND LOUDLY DISAGREES WITH How does he do this you may ask? Well Merchandise, of course, that he and His Team (being him, Ahsoka sometimes, Ventress weirdly enough, and C3PO), control the production and sale of.

First piece of merch they create for distribution? ....Hero with No Fear Calendar of the Month. Like a Firefighters Fundraising Calendar, but with Young Saucy Former Jedi Anakin Skywalker.

Needless to say it makes bank. There's a weirdly intimate space magazine article talking about his history and how he had to "relearn ownership of himself and his body" once leaving the order. It's essentially a fluff piece but the accompanying photos are soft lit shots of him in delicate silken robes and mussed hair, long bare legs splayed out on the couch, space lace collar of the robe falling just so over his décolletage.

(Ventress takes surprisingly tasteful photos, for a former Sith apprentice.)

It's Scandal, Sex, and Senate Sanctions from the word go!!!

Anakin Skywalker, Space Wizard turned SpOnly Fans for Lawsuits.

((Padme is already pregnant at this point and if she wasn't she is now fuck you canon timeline, so they were planning on retiring to Naboo anyway once she neared her due date, and honestly if she's gonna go out, Padme's going out with a bang!))

(((Bail Organa: please do not actually go out with a bang, do not get assassinated because your very attractive young bride keeps poking the trade federation and the anti-clone people in the eyes directly. can I get at least 20 copies of the calendar for Breha's staff?)))

#shut up perry #i need a star wars tag #star wars #anakin skywalker #the council is Very Done with anakin #Obi Wan is on clean up pr duty #which would be more successful if either of his lineage were willing to answer his calls #Mace Windu breaks into Padme's apartment from her windows with a stolen speeder to throw the pile of 48 signed joint motion files at Ani #and that's only the first wave #bc Anakin's not the only one that had weirdly invasive holodramas name him personally #so it was easier to cc the order and the council into the actions to make sure all parties receive equal and fair compensation #mace is very tempted to have both Anakin and his legal team Jedi arrested for being deeply annoying
