Behind the scenes pic I've never seen before. Look at this guy cheesing!!

If Dooku had stayed a Jedi he really would've been the peepaw of all time (don't challenge him to a duel) (don't let him talk politics at dinner) (don't ask about Galidraan)

#i like how even as a sith he knows he's got that grandfatherly charm going for him #the whole way he behaves in aotc. like he's just someone's sprightly opa and not a soon-to-be dictator <3 #count dooku

force sensitive!din is cool, but imagine how funny the reverse would be. force negative!din. his very presence is actively hostile to the force. jedi can’t track him because he simply does not show up on their radars. you try to force throw him and he just stands there like 🧍🏻‍♂️. being around him as a force sensitive person is like entering a cellular dead zone. there are no signals going in or out. grogu’s rapid force development happens because being around din and then leaving with luke was the jedi equivalent of rock lee removing his ankle weights and beating gaara’s ass. if the force is a telephone wire, din is the fucking boulder stapled to it. his very presence causes a vacuum in the force that the universe tries to correct by throwing more force at it, which is why the man suddenly can’t walk without running into a jedi these days. force negative!din, y’all.

#as always my favorite hc’s are just me asking myself what’s the stupidest way i can interpret canon #Luke is drawn to Din the way a star cruiser with a buster warp drive is drawn into a black hole #what a terrifying yet exhilarating feeling — and then din is just 🧍🏻‍♂️ the most flat guy in the galaxy. Sith Lords want to be him; Jedi wan #to kill him; Luke wants to be in him; Din just wants to go home and play baby shark with his son #the Mandalorian #din djarin #Mandalorian meta #Star Wars meta #dinluke #anadin fic. #force negative!din

NOT to cheapen a beautiful and very emotional scene but I love that Vader just tossed Sidious over a safety railing. You’re so right king he DOSEN’T deserve a climactic 10-minute lightsaber-force-lava-showdown-duel like Obi-Wan did

#this was the final duel that had been prophesied for CENTURIES #I don’t think any ghost Jedi would be ‘disappointed’ in the way it played out considering the context #BUT. if any prequel-era character found out that Anakin would one day defeat the dark by chucking a Sith Lord down an energy well #they’d be like. Yeh. Yeah that tracks #considering the sheer amount of power and skill Anakin possesses I just think it’s funny #star wars #anakin skywalker #Darth Vader #Darth Sidious #sheev palpatine #rotj #return of the Jedi #obi wan kenobi #obi-wan Kenobi

[merrysithmas]

when ppl see this & this, directed by the same person, and think the narrative is "anakin is evil" not "anakin is a steward of the balance, a force demi god, as was foretold on Mortis" 😂

#anakin skywalker #ahsoka #not my gifs #if you havent seen TCW i really feel like stock in your anakin opinion is p low #you need to watch it to get a full picture of his journey and his purpose in the galaxy #he was good and evil #he is quite literally a demi god #he is always and will always be both #his ultimate struggle was wrestling with that and failing it in life bc he couldnt accept it #he was a slave to the destiny the force created him for #he was a slave to the sith #he was a servant of the jedi #he is quintessenially never truly free #he hated and loved the jedi in equal measure #he never loved the sith #he is balanced but OF THE FORCE #he was manipulated by the dark side but he is MADE OF THE FORCE #therefore he will always stand for the force the jedi way and the light #which is why he is a forceghost #star wars #u all know how i get when i put my stanakin shoes on #anyway the ogt and prequels are buddhist allegories and anakin isnt beholden to western concepts of morality in that sense as a character #in a mythic literary epic sense #also obviously he isnt human either #which is a big ring-a-ling

On the note of the snippet I posted. Ultimately what makes me go batshit insane about the Sith is that it's truly not about the magic of it all. It's about people being hurt and hurting others in turn.

What it is to become a Sith is to enmesh yourself, forever, in pain. It's at the very forefront of the doctrine, but even ignoring the mentality of it, on the basest level it is about physical and emotional pain. In agreeing to be an apprentice, you're agreeing to years of torture. You're agreeing to anything your master chooses to subject you to; they themselves have suffered as you have and they're chomping at the bit to inflict it upon you too. They have convinced themselves this pain has made them strong, but it has only made them vindictive.

Becoming a Sith is not about becoming powerful. It's about surviving the sheer horror of the training itself and convincing yourself survival is the same as control, that it's the same as power. It's about taking the seething, burning hatred you feel for the person who has tortured you and passing it onto your student, and repeating this for centuries. It's about licking your own wounds, not only the physical but those of centuries of disgraced Sith before you, hiding in the shadiest corners of the galaxy with no one but the person you hate most and believe you owe everything to.

The Sith are fundamentally pathetic, fundamentally impotent, fundamentally miserable, and it simply cannot be extricated from the mess of it all

#at the end of the day i truly can't help but feel bad for them #because damn. get some help. break that cycle. i believe in you #can you tell i've spent WAY too long thinking about the scene in which palpatine is tortured by plagueis and going Oh. #So that's not a palpatine thing huh. that's just a sith thing #personal #star wars #star wars meta #star wars analysis #palpatine #sheev palpatine #sw palpatine #palpatine star wars #star wars palpatine #darth plagueis #darth vader #count dooku #darth maul #sw sith #star wars sith #sith #the force #fandom: star wars #type: meta

okay hear me out...

fan made visual novel where the reader is the new chancellor of the republic after sidious dies under mysterious circumstances. (*coughitwasyoucough*) all the various jedi and sith are alive. the clone wars continue. multiple endings, morality system, dating options. 🤓

(art credit: photomanip of imperial throne and maul from comics, cleaned up and spliced together with a ui.)

#renpy is not hard to make visual novels in #it would just need a writing team and an art team #maybe like 6-8 people total #star wars #sith #darth maul #chancellor of the republic #Coruscant #tcw #clone wars #the clone wars #commander fox #would get so much screen time #do you use the clones? ... you know the codes.... #do you have the jedi? or destroy them on your path to power? #do you unite the sith into a new order? #do you haul anakin back to mortis and sit him down? #or do you fall in love with him #and have padme assasinated to get her out of your way? #... or is it padme your heart desires? #hmmmmmm

Ghost Anakin

Can we please take a moment and appreciate that Legends and Disney-Canon's Force Ghost Anakin confronted member of his family (Cade Skywalker) and/or friend (Ahsoka) when they were in trouble and he decided to show up to them as a Jedi to pass the warning/advice

but when they weren't willing to listen, he changed into Vader

to trash them as the Sith Lord

I don’t know why he is like that but I bow respectfully to his ghost’s communication skills.

#star wars #anakin skywalker #darth vader #look i may not like in special way disney sw canon but i appreciate what they did with anakin in ahsoka tv series #any source that acknowledge anakin's duality of jedi and sith #light and dark #makes me happy #also yeah the gifs from ahsoka may not be here in chronogical order but hush

[sendpseuds]

Same age knights AU where Obi-Wan is pretty sure Anakin is being groomed by a Sith Lord, even though they’ve been extinct for millennia and no one believes him.

He tries to warn his friend [well, they’re more frienamies but Obi-Wan’s not just going to let Skywalker fall to the dark side] but, unsurprisingly, Anakin doesn’t believe him. He calls Obi-Wan’s warning a pathetic jealous trick and “what do you know about the Sith anyway?”

Fine. Obi-Wan will learn everything there is to know about the Sith if it means he can stop this idiot from becoming an even bigger pain in the ass than he already is. He’ll learn their ways, confirm his suspicions, collect his evidence—

But there’s a problem.

The more Obi-Wan learns, the more sense it makes.

All he’d meant to do was prevent Anakin Skywalker’s fall.

He certainly hadn’t meant to trigger his own.

#always thinking about sith!obiwan #I just love the idea of him nerding his way to the dark side #what a fucking loser #sith obi wan #obi wan kenobi #I desperately need a sith one shot idea #I just know that’s what my brain needs #I’ll just be here waiting

Happy revenge of the sixth (and belated may the fourth!!)

My Feemor proposal

A popular headcanon for Feemor is that he's a Jedi Shadow. Shadows are spies and basically detectives. Feemor's lineage has a reputation for being eccentric, infamous, and finding trouble everywhere they go. So, walk with me here, Feemor's an eccentric, famous, blonde detective.

This is Feemor.

#i can't stop giggling over this #sure feemor gets hints from the force but that's not admissible in court so he has to do it the regular way and he's damn good at it #feemor figuring out palpatine is the sith master and his Grand Evil Plan like “it's so dumb it's brilliant!” “NO! it's just dumb.” #many space tweets have been made going #“was anyone going to tell me that galaxy famous detective Feemor is not only a Jedi but brother to a High General AND grandson of DOOKU??” #sound off on who you think should be the phillip to his blanc i personally think it should be a famous space actor ala hugh grant #yeah i think benoit blanc is married to real life actor hugh grant phillip's just his middle name #feemor #star wars
