How did Obi-Wan not notice the thing with R2D2?? And what if he did?

Obi-Wan: We need to talk about your issues with attachment. Anakin: ::panicking, thinking Obi-Wan's found out about his marriage:: You had a relationship with Satine Kryze! Obi-Wan: … And Ki-Adi-Mundi is married. Jedi can have relationships, Anakin. We've talked about this. Anakin: … I think I would have remembered that.

[Many many past conversations: Obi-Wan: ::lecturing:: Attachment… the code… meditation. Anakin: ::busy tinkering:: Yes, yes, master. Whatever you say, master. Obi-Wan: This is fine. This absolutely will not come back to bite me in the ass later.]

Obi-Wan: Regardless, we need to talk about your attachment issues. Anakin: What issues? You just *said* marriage is okay. Obi-Wan: ::derailed:: What's that about marriage? Anakin: This isn't about me and Padme being married? Obi-Wan: … Obi-Wan: No. Anakin: This is about what I did when my mom died then, isn't it? Obi-Wan: … Anakin: ::getting defensive:: They deserved it! Tuskens are animals. Obi-Wan: ::rubbing his nose:: Anakin. Stop guessing. You're literally making this worse with every word out of your mouth. There happens to be a Tusken Jedi. You've *met* him. Anakin:: ::sheepish:: Oh. So, um, what's this about then? ::finally listening for the first time in the past three years:: Obi-Wan: I came here to talk to you about the salvage operation you ran to rescue R2D2. Anakin: ::puzzled:: Master? You ordered me to go on that mission. Obi-Wan: ::pinching his nose:: Anakin, you do realize that the mission would have been completely unnecessary had you just wiped the droid as per procedure? Anakin: But R2's my buddy. I wouldn't do that to him. Obi-Wan: You got all but two of the men who went with you killed in an attempt to rescue a droid! Anakin: So? I would have done the same for Padme. Or Ahsoka, Obi-Wan: … Obi-Wan: You see no issue in trading sentient lives for an inanimate object. That, Anakin is the very definition of attachment and why you either see a mind healer or go to Jedi jail. Anakin: What? You can't make me see a mind healer! Obi-Wan: You're right. Jedi Jail it is. Anakin: Noooo! I'm gonna tell my good friend the Chancellor on you! Obi-Wan: ::fed-up with everything and feeling both sassy and sarcastic:: Oh, and what's he going to do, order the clones to turn on us and massacre all the Jedi right down to the initiates in the creche? The Force: ::shouting:: YES!!! Obi-Wan:: ::facepalm:: That absolutely came back and bit me in the ass.

Later: Cody: You have a Jedi jail? Obi-Wan: No. Cody: Sir? Obi-Wan: Seemed like a safe bet. ::bitter: He obviously ignored everything else I tried to teach him. Cody: Jedi can marry? Obi-Wan: Yes. Cody: Jedi. As in you. Obi-Wan: As in... Cody: ::suddenly two inches closer:: Obi-Wan: ::squeaking:: Me? Cody: ::smoulders:: Obi-Wan: After the war. Chain of command. Would be inappropriate. Because reasons. Cody: I see.

Two days later: Fox: ::eyeing the assortment of munitions Cody's just laid on his desk, including, but not limited to, slug throwers, thermal detonators, a handful of droid poppers and a rotary cannon:: So you say that the chancellor's a direct threat to the military command of the GAR and that I get to kill him if I agree to mute my external audio pickup and follow your orders? Cody: Yes. Is there a problem? ::looms menacingly:: Fox: ::jumps up:: No takesies backsies! Thorn! Thire! It's Lifeday and Cody's just got us all a present!

~~~

Palps gets wrekt. The Corries have the Best. Day. Ever.

Cody and Obi-Wan swear the riduurok. No one is surprised.

The mind healers ending *building* a Jedi jail just so they don't have to listen to Anakin whine any longer. (R2D2 has the option of joining Anakin. Which, no. C3PO is welcome to that. R2D2 is having none of that shit. Time to head back to his original family -- the handmaidens of Naboo. Who will let him have a little murder. As a treat.)

rex doing his dramatic little identity reveal every time he meets someone. the way he flips the hood of his cloak back just screams "i used to work alongside a number of sassy jedi and boy did they loooove being all mysterious behind their droopy fucking robes"

he definitely picked that shit up from ahsoka who learned it from anakin who learned it from the one and only obi-wan kenobi. they're a lineage of drama queens.

I think it's interesting that - in order to make his "free-thinking Jedi" characters hold any semblance of rationality in their arguments - Dave Filoni needs to resort to artificially dehumanizing the other Jedi and painting them all with the same "we dogmatically worship protocol" brush.

He does this with Huyang in the recent Ahsoka episode.

"Lolz he's so narrow-minded, preachy and by-the-book, unable to think outside the box, just like the Jedi in the Prequels."

My first reaction was being amused at the fact that Filoni had to resort to making the Jedi Order's ideals and rules be embodied by a literal machine for his anti-Jedi headcanon to start making sense.

But then I remembered: Huyang isn't just any droid.

In The Clone Wars, he had a sassy personality, he had a pep in his step, he had a sense of humor...

This character was human in his behavior, he was fun and whimsical.

But now he's been reduced to, I dunno, "Jedi C-3PO"? Basically?

"Ha! He's blunt and unsympathetic because he's a droid, but it's funny because the Jedi were the same, they were training themselves to be tactless, emotionless droids."

And Filoni does this with Mace Windu too, in Tales of the Jedi.

Mace, who brought a lightsaber to the throat of a planetary leader to defend the endangered Zillo Beast...

... and who went waaay past his mandate by mischievously sneaking around Bardottan authorities and breaking into the Queen's quarters because he felt something bad was afoot...

... was reduced to being an almost droid-like, rule-parotting, protocol purist who sticks to his instructions (and is implied to be willing to let a murder go unsolved so he can get a promotion).

I mentioned this at the end of my first post on Luke in The Last Jedi... while changes in personality do happen overtime and can be explained in-universe... if you don't show us that progression and evolution and just leave us without that context, that'll break the suspension of disbelief, for your audience.

Here, we have two characters with a different (almost caricatural) personality than the one they were originally shown to have.

Now... we could resort to headcanons, to make it all fit together.

We could justify Huyang's tone shift 'cause "Order 66 changed him". And we could make explanations about TotJ's Mace:

Being younger and thus more ambitious and a stickler for the rules, and only really becoming more flexible after getting his seat on the Council and gaining more maturity.

Being such a teacher's pet in the episode because we're seeing him through the eyes of a notorious unreliable narrator, Dooku.

There'd be nothing wrong with opting to go with either of those headcanons to cope with this. After all, Star Wars is meant to help you get creative.

But the problem I encounter is that:

Filoni has an anti-Jedi bias, so the above headcanons clearly wouldn't really track with his intended narrative.

We'd be jumping through hoops to extrapolate and fill in what is, essentially, inconsistent characterization, manufactured to make Ahsoka and Dooku shine under a better light.

And that sours whatever headcanon I come up with.

Edit: Also, yeah, as folks have been saying in the tags... wtf is "Jedi protocol"? The term isn't ever mentioned in the movies, I skimmed through dialog transcripts of TCW, never saw it there.

So it's almost as if - if Filoni wasn't draining characters like Mace and Huyang of all humanity and nuance - his point about "the Jedi were too detached and lost their way, but not free-thinkers like Qui-Gon, Dooku and Ahsoka" wouldn't really hold much water.

#I *will* acknowledge that part of this may also be that in a cartoon like TCW - characters with no moving facial features like Huyang...#... had to be more expressive in other ways; hence why he's so active in the cartoon; which may not translate well to live action.#Then again- look at how expressive and emotive that Hondo Ohnaka animatronic is at Galaxy's Edge.#And the fact remains that he went from a whimsical Mr. Ollivander type figure to... a droid with data on the Jedi...#... all so Ahsoka would seem more human and grounded by contrast #ahsoka series #ahsoka spoilers #ahsoka show #star wars ahsoka #huyang #tales of the jedi #totj #dooku #mace windu #ahsoka tano #star wars #dave filoni #disney plus

Anakin and Slavers

"His undoing is that he loveth too much"

George Lucas

One thing that I always liked about George´s work in relation to Anakin and slavery is how out of the left field he and Dave Filoni wrote Anakin´s relationship to the people who owned or saw him as a property at one point or another and yet it makes total sense for his character.

For example kid Anakin has no doubt that Slavery is horrible and at 9 he is actually working towards developing technology to help free his Mom, friends and himself from it. He hates with capital H the fact those people have control over the life and death of other people but at the same time he has great compassion and kindness which his mother helped nurture. This along with the fact that Watto was the only adult male figure who was around during his early chilldhood, this complicated his feelings towards slavers in a very tragic way.

Anakin feared Watto´s violence and didn´t for a moment doubt he would have been willing to sell off his mother or him if the customer got to a big enough price but at the same time he listens to his advice when he travels to the dune sea to do his work with the jawas and his pov is almost as important as his Mom´s, in the novelization of TPM Anakin remembers not to talk to strangers or to get close to Tuskens Raiders camps thanks to Watto´s advice.

So in Anakin´s mind, Watto is someone he fears but also someone he takes advice from, respects to a point, sometimes gets sassy to and actually listens to almost as a father figure BUT at the same time he has no doubt he would activate the killing chip if he tried to escape.

Pain/abuse/fear mixed with care/advice(sounds familiar?) Anakin knows slavery is awful but he can´t help but see Watto as a person because of who Anakin is, Annie is a kind and understanding person and to point may justify Watto as a "Man of bussines" and "Not as bad a other masters" "It could be worse" but he definitely doesn´t trust him in the same way he does his mother, she is blood, she is family. He and Mom are a team.They shared their secrets.

The first time Anakin saw Watto again after being freed, he was a Jedi with training, almost a knight and the first thing he does to the guy who beat him and his Mom some years ago is to ask him if he can help with the ship parts Watto is working on because he noticed Watto is struggling and his bussines is falling down compared to how it was when Anakin was a kid. When Watto noticed who Anakin was he didn´t reject him and accepted his congratulations but keep himself appart, hoping to learn about his mother whereabouts.

When Watto told Anakin he sold Shmi, Anakin doesn´t have a reaction, he takes Watto´s justification of "I am sorry Ani but bussines are bussines and anyway the person who bought her freed her and married her" Anakin doubts it´s as good a picture as Watto is talking about but he takes his justification and leaves.

When he meets Owen, Beru and Cliegg he sees they are indeed nice people and the reason for his mothers suffering is something completely different that they were not able to stop so he doesn´t blame them for her fate. When Anakin lost his mother it was only natural for him to seek a family, someone he could share how he really felt and his secrets, he could not be part of the Lars family but Padme was willing to love him so she became his new confirmed family, right along with Obi-Wan and Ahsoka but while he had to show himself different to them, he didn´t had to do that with Padme, just like he did with his mother.

In the clone wars Anakin shows again this complex view of slavers with Queen Miraj Scintel, the cartoon goes out of it´s way to show she looked at him as pretty property and he didn´t let her forget that and actually it was strongly suggested he may have been raped by her at some point to keep safe Obi-Wan, Rex, Ahsoka as well as the people they wanted to save while he got enough soldiers to stage their rescue. Anakin had a plan the whole time just as he did as a kid so he keep his cool even when he saw another slave choose suicide over keep being under the control of Scintel. Yet in the end when the Queen was killed by Count Dooku Anakin felt sorry for her, he could not help it.

So this mix of rejection/anger/hate/disgust towards slavers mixed with pity/understanding which is something that was part of what made Anakin a good person gets used agaisn´t him in his relationship with Palpatine.

He first shows himself as the father figure Anakin thought he could find in Qui-Gon before he died a better father figure than Watto had been, a father figure that didn´t reject this title like ObiWan did, Palpatine did this to get his trust as a young child and later young adult and then he showed himself as the real sith master he actually was, Palpatine knew that Anakin wasn´t a stranger to be treated as property by people who showed themselves as good advicers or somehow not as bad as others despite their actions. So Anakin´s initial compassion, kindness and understanding for people that abused him is played agaisn´t him to make him fall to the darkside and chain himself again to another worse master who didn´t just seek to use his skills and body but who wanted his soul as well.

And the same reasons why Anakin justified Watto at first when he was a young kid also applied to Palpatine, he may be a sith but he ran the Republic better than those corrupt politicians, he isn´t a perfect Emperor but in Padme´s absence he is better than the alternatives. He isn´t as bad as a master and anyway I deserve this because I fell to the darkside and nobody can come back from that, if he abuses me I got this coming because I choose this and he still teaches me the ways of the force, he rescued me from Mustafar when Obi-Wan left me to die and he didn´t have to, he is all I have left.

So once Anakin´s voice died down Vader was left with many reasons to say to Palpatine "What´s your bidding my master?" because in his mind master isn´t a word that contradicts father and Palpatine became his father in all but name, this makes George´s words about Anakin fatal flaw being the fact he loved too much make complete sense and it´s a tragedy.

okay but Ahsoka's face after Huyang asks her 'where are they going' and she genuinly says 'I don't know' with a smile plastered on her face, with all the cockiness of Anakin and the pure sassiness of Obi-Wan meanwhile being just honest and excited and feeling so light and herself and I love that moment so much, I feel hopeful, I love this series, this is peak Star Wars, you can't change my mind.

#ahsoka #ahsoka series #ahsoka spoilers #HUGE FUCKING SPOILER #I know that Thrawn is probably at arm's length now and shit's gonna hit the fan real quick #but I can't care less #my baby is finally getting her shit together and I'm genuinely happy to see it

Ok, so I was supposed to draw one small fanart, but I got carried away and created an au ^^''

Jedi cats Au

(Disaster lineage edition)

Yoda: Small green cat with tufts of white fur on his tail tip and across his spine. He loves being cuddled by the younglings as he tells them stories(basically their therapy, grandfather cat) and going on occasional trips to Dagobah for meditation (at least, that's his excuse). What he really does there is hunting frogs(he claims they're good for his bones) and camping out in the swamp(the whole trip traumatizing Dooku in the process).

Dooku: Huge white cat with brittle yellow eyes and spiked-up fur. He doesn't change much in his cat form, but when he does, he spends most of his time sunning himself on the council chairs(you can't blame him, cats can't resist such a good sunning spot), skulks around the temple corridors looking elegant and graceful, and steals sith holocrons out of nowhere so he could 'study' them(they were later confiscated and thrown out of the temple when Qui found out). He never lets anybody pet him except for Sifo, Jocasta, Qui, and sometimes Yoda(his adoptive father figure), or Obi-wan(his grandson whom he's secretly proud of)

Qui-Gon: Greyish brown cat with long silky fur and leaf-green eyes. He mostly hangs out on the temple's huge tree or goes on trips to Lothal to have tea with Loth-cats and wolves. (The Loth-cats kind of worship him as their 'god', and the wolves invite him and his apprentice for night strolls and 'singing to the moon' meetings)

He also randomly adopts kittens(padawans; in this case, Obi-wan, Anakin, and recently Ahsoka)

Obi-wan: Small auburn cat with darker splotches and grey-blue eyes. He's smaller than his apprentice but twice the sassiness. Cody loves to cuddle him and stroke his soft fur for hours while talking about how his day went(Obi doesn't mind^^). As a kitten, he constantly kept Qui company while he studied at night(at least that's what he says when Qui complains about his student/son being annoyingly cute and knocking over his mug of tea on purpose every five minutes).

Anakin: Brown tabby emo with sky-blue eyes. He hates sand, is very chaotic in many ways, and has a talent for annoying Obi(he actually passes down his 'abilities' to Ahsoka, who becomes more like her master). He also holds a record of being the most troublesome padawan in existence.

Despite all this, Padme finds him adorable (he often sneaks out of the temple in his cat form to meet his gf), but Obi-wan and Ahsoka know better(sure, he's nice and charming, yet can also be pretty stupid and reckless).

Ahsoka: Sleek, lithe, orange cat with white tail and blue stripes. Her Lekku still exists in her cat form as well as her facial markings(the Lekku are used to communicate with other cats or Jedi, and also play an important part in balancing their bodies while they leap agily or pelt across obstacles at high speed).

Toruguti cats have very short, smooth fur on their bodies(the pelts are mostly an orangish hue, with blue stripes appearing on the back of their flanks as they get older), but their tails are often white, bushy and flecked with blue stripes.

She's one of the 501'th's favorites because she often hangs out with Rex and the clones(sharing stories, playing games... etc)(the clones especially love placing random things on her head until she moves). As her species are carnivores, she has an instinct for hunting small animals(sometimes leaving her half-dead prey on Anakin's desk like the cheeky adorable prankster she is).

I might upload some headcanons and designs btw

Have a nice day ^^

😭 NOT OBI CUB LOOKIN LIKE A LIL LIPN CUB PLZZZZZZ😭

Lil baby man who looks like an infant permanently no wonder he wants a beard so bad in human form.

Soka’s Lekku is so cute and I love how pissy Ani is. They’re all precious to me. Swamp kitty Yoda is so perfect.

People will talk about how Anakin taught Ahsoka how to be good in a fight

But they won't talk about how Plo taught her subtlety

Or how Aayla taught her discipline

Or how Yoda taught her about the Force

Or how Padme taught her about politics

Or how Obi-Wan taught her about being a sassy bisexual

Or how Ahsoka figured out how to communicate with lightsaber crystals to the point of being able to purge them of the dark side, a feat not even Anakin knew about

Ahsoka is just. !!!!!! making me so happy.

(spoilers ahead by the way)

Star Wars Rebels is finally getting the love it deserves. you can feel it pouring out from every second of the episodes released so far, and it’s so incredibly refreshing. there are so many tiny details that they really didn’t have to put in, but they DID. I’m so used to no one besides a few friends irl and my lovely mutuals appreciating this show. I’m used to there being near-zero merch for it being sold, besides by small independent shops (my beloved). but now people KNOW THEIR NAMES. they’re learning who these incredible characters are, and it’s just. so delightful.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead absolutely NAILS her role as Hera—the quiet confidence and air of command. the understanding and care in her eyes. her every expression is ON POINT, and her dialogue is *chef’s kiss*. she even stands like Hera—her posture is identical to hers! kriff, even her EYE COLOR is correct!!!

NATASHA LIU BORDIZZO. looks EXACTLY like Sabine and knocks it out of the park portraying her! the amount of attitude she displays is SO our angsty sassy Mando girl. the way she’s so frustrated with the way Ahsoka’s been acting and doesn’t try to hide that. the way she completely refuses to follow anyone’s orders. SO SABINE.

Ahsoka!! I was a little nervous, because live action Ahsoka has been so different from the Snips we know in terms of lack of spunkiness—but I noticed that her EXPRESSIONS are so snarky and Ahsoka-y throughout these two episodes, and I’m really happy about it!!!

also Ahsoka and Hera are BEST FRIENDS AND I’VE BEEN THEORIZING THIS AND WANTING THIS AND NOW THEY’RE FACETIMING ALL THE TIME AND I LOVE IT.

also also I’m so normal over how Hera and Sabine have matching leather jackets it’s sO CUTE

#I just #I fell off my chair and went into hysterics when Hera came on screen #I am so obsessed with this show #ahsoka spoilers #star wars #star wars rebels #hera syndulla #swr #ezra bridger #sabine wren #ahsoka tano

I've been rethinking about the Ahsoka serie for a while and I realized that I'm not really the biggest fan of it...

But since I don't like to spread too much negativity on things I otherwise enjoyed I decided to make a checklist of the things I liked about it:

Sabine's haircutting scene as a parallel to Kanan's one, both of them prepering to save the people they love

Sabine using Ezra's lightsaber was cool, even though I would have prefered her not being a Force sensitive

CAPTAIN CARSON TEVA!

Lothal and the mural

MY GENOCIDAL BOY CHOPPER!!!!

MY SASSY BOY HUYANG!!!!!!!

THE GOLDEN BOY HIMSELF C3PO!!!!!!!!!

I love Star Wars droids, okay? okay

Little Jacen, and the scene where he heard Ahsoka and Anakin's duel

ALSO HIS PAULDRON, A MINI VERSION OF KANAN'S!!!

Hera basically telling the senator to fuck off and let her do her job

How Shin's grey palette is in direct contrast to Sabine's explosion of colours.

Baylan Skoll's journey to the Mortis gods (apparentely)

The whole WBW sequence

I cried at that, two times

Ahsoka going to take the clone's hand

Anakin with the Darth Vader flashes

How it took this sequence to make me realize how much PTSD Ahsoka must have from the war and everything that happened after

Ariana Greenblatt as young Ahsoka

The way they retconned the atrocious tube top

The way her Akul theet Headress looked. I never liked how it was in TCW

AHSOKA THE WHITE!!!

THE PURGILL'S SEQUENCE!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..."

THE CRAB PEOPLE

Ezra aka Space Moses

The Great Mothers

"For the Empire" "... for Dathomir"

Morgan and Ashoka's duel

ANAKIN'S FORCE GHOST

Ok, imagine the Disaster Lineage all end up being sent to the same place, pulled from their respective time periods.

Three groups:

1. early point DL: we’re talking young Padawan Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Ashoka, (As in Tales of Jedi, Ep 1, and CW movie) Dooku as from Tales of Jedi pre-murder, beginning of ANH Luke and Leia, Jakku scrapper Rey, and idk pre-ep 1 Yoda.

2. Mid-point DL: this is Ep. 5 Yoda, Ep 3 Dooku, Ep 1 Qui-Gon, Season 6 (pre-temple bombing) CW Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ashoka, soon after Ep 6. Luke and Leia, and idk. Ep. 9-ish Rey?

3. End-point DL: this is force ghost Yoda, Dooku from when he was about to die, force ghost Qui-Gon, Old Ben Kenobi, Ep 6. redeemed Darth Vader, old Ahsoka the white, Old Sassy Uncle Luke, Ep 8. Leia, and idk 52 yr old grandmaster Rey cause f*** it.

This assumes that they are all in a decent state and not going to die, won’t immediately attack each other and will probably talk (somewhat) reasonably, and the force ghosts are temporarily given a physical form again.

Let’s assume that after they interact, they each are sent back to their time period, and can act on this information. Each group is a separate scenario btw.

Also, sorry for the poor formatting, I’m a little dumb and new to tumblr.

And yes, I know it would be a complete and mess and the interactions would get insane

“You’re meaning to tell me that you’re my son, and I turn evil, and I fight my best friend/father figure and apprentice, and then I get redeemed at the last second and get blown up in a giant fiery explosion in a planet destroying space station? Wow, well that’s one hell of a life. Im gonna go be angsty in the corner now.”

“Who is this sassy, lost child?” (Points to Ahsoka)

“I feel like I’m missing something here. Am I even supposed to be here?” (Rey)

“Confusing, this is…”

Edit: sorry, I forgot Leia and scuffed up some time travel shenanigans.

Things I love about Ahsoka Ep. 7: Dreams and Madness

Anakin making holo-recordings for Ahsoka.

All I see is Anakin making video diaries and tutorials for his little sister. We hadn’t hear him say it, but he absolutely loves her and cares a lot for her. The question now is, how the hell did she get hold of those holo-recordings? Also, we need to see all 20 of them. I also think she had probs shown it to Luke and Leia at some point.

Leia saves Hera.

Of course, Leia would save everyone’s ass from trouble. It has always been her thing. C-3PO's timing was perfect. Also, Senator Xiono can go fuck himself. Chopper ready to throw hands at a senator is icing on the cake. And if they translate what he said, the entire thing would probably be bleeped out.

Huyang is an Obi-Wan Kenobi droid version.

Huyang complaining about Ahsoka’s reckless actions is so funny to me, honestly. In a way, she's being the Anakin to Huyang, being that Voice-of-Reason Obi-Wan persona to contradict to.

Thrawn’s mini-heart attack when he finds out who Ahsoka’s master was.

Thrawn, externally: *pokerface*

Thrawn, internally: What? No. That togruta bitch was trained by Anakin fucking Skywalker?! Omfg, this changes things.

So, a little background, Thrawn had always admired Anakin Skywalker and had worked alongside him since the clone wars, then as Darth Vader during the empire era. And to put it on modern terms, Thrawn was his biggest fan. He knows how powerful Anakin was and what he was capable of doing. So knowing that Anakin taught Ahsoka is information that could either make him or break him.

Ezra’s reaction to Sabine telling her about Ahsoka taking her as her padawan.

His reaction is the most Ezra thing ever. Obviously, he didn't expected Ahsoka to take on Sabine as her padawan considering she isn't force-sensitive. And Ezra is literally all of us when when we first watched the show, btw.

Ahsoka and Sabine’s Force bond.

It’s natural for the master and padawan to have a bond through the Force, regardless if jedi or sith. But with Sabine’s lack of force-sensitivity, this was something I did not expect. But nevertheless, I’m extremely happy about it.

Ezra and Sabine’s chaotic sibling energy.

We all know Ezra and Sabine go way back. They’ve been friends for a long time, they radiate chaotic sibling energy (sorry, sabezra/ezrabine shippers), even to the point of arguing while fighting for their lives. It's good to see that some things haven't changed.

Ahsoka and Ezra’s hug.

The last time these two met each other was in the World between Worlds, after Ezra saved Ahsoka from Darth Vader. Ahsoka had promised to find him when they get of there. But then again, they were at different points in time and Ezra disappeared with Thrawn to another galaxy. That makes this hug much more heartfelt and meaningful.

Ahsoka Tano of the Disaster Lineage™

• Unpredictable

• Reckless

• Purposely coming in late just to make a dramatic grand entrance and/or exit

• Never runs out of sassy comebacks when talking to the enemy

• Annoying the crap out of the people around them

• Has the signature troublemaker smirk 😏

• Expert lightsaber duelist

• Not following the no-attachment-rule

• Having good friendship with their padawans

Yep, she checks all the boxes and just further cements herself as part of the infamous Disaster Lineage™. Not to mention that she's indirectly teaching Sabine the same stuff. I can already hear Force Ghost Anakin cheering her on.

There are a lot of loose ends to tie in the season finale. Let's hope they'll give us an epic one and an interesting plotline for season 2.

Want to write the silliest, most self-indulgent thing ever and it will just be Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, maybe throw in Luke and Leia to really make it overly obvious how indulgent this is, just hanging out, but all of them are like… seventeen.

Like, the chaos, right??? All of them being the same age at the same time and it’s a fucking nightmare and they would be so insufferable and I kinda want to make them even younger, maybe like fifteen. Twelve. Ten. Eight. Five. Just, I want Force Shenanigans tm to make these specific characters all pop into existence at the same time at the same age.

I admittedly don’t know how Qui-Gon acted as a padawan in canon, and I honestly don’t even know if he’s ever even been shown as a padawan, but I love imagining Padawan Qui-Gon. Look at how he is as an adult! He would be so much worse! The Council is over there, taking deep breaths and counting to ten, telling themselves “Younglings are like this. He’ll grow out of it. He will grow out of this phase, this is all just a phase, a phase he will grow out of, please, Force, let this be temporary-“ but he doesn’t grow out of it!

I like to imagine he can get away with so much because he was even worse, somehow, as a padawan, and Yoda is just thinking “Did not set anything on fire, on purpose, this time, at least. Well you did, Qui-Gon. The good work you must keep up.” I also really, really, REALLY like the part in Cloak of Darkness that says Qui-Gon’s go-to excuse for his own behaviour is “I can’t help it. I was made this way. The Force wills it, I can’t change.” It is so fucking funny and I think Qui-Gon probably started saying “the Force wills it” at ten when he snuck puppies into the dorms or something.

Obi-Wan as a padawan is just so, how to put this, sassy? But like, he is also so nervous, he is so nervous so much of the time and he reminds me of a kitten, I love him. He’s an absolute nightmare on the opposite end of the spectrum from everyone else. I think he follows all of the rules and I think he refuses to turn in reports if he finds a typo and I think he is the type of padawan who only sasses when overwhelmed with relief to be alive (which happens unfortunately very often). He just wants a pat on the head and to be told he did good, please.

I probably should have done more research before I started this idea but oh well— Anakin as a padawan is probably a strange mixture of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. Because as a teenager and preteen, he almost definitely goes through the phase most kids go through earlier in life, where he pushes his boundaries to see what he can and can’t do. He was thrust out of Tatooine and into a whole new environment and he probably spent at least a year waiting for someone to be cruel to him, and when they weren’t, he began pushing his limits more and more. And because his master is Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan is somehow the most patient but tired man in the history of the galaxy, Anakin pushes his limits and does something bad and then almost immediately feels guilty.

Yes, Anakin set the kitchens on fire because he was mad at someone. Yes, Anakin is also sobbing because he feels so guilty about it. The two co-exist.

We know how Ahsoka is as a padawan. She’s adorable and very skilled, if not a bit cocky at times. She’s overzealous and she pushes herself to reach upper limits because her master is the fucking Chosen One and that’s gotta put some pressure on you.

Luke and Leia, of course, were not padawans. Not ever, really, when you think about it. Like yeah, Luke went through a crash course, but he was basically handed a lightsaber and told “Congrats, you’re a Jedi Knight now, have fun.” Leia was kind of sort of trained by Luke, but in Legends’ continuity she never really learned all that much because she had a lot of pressure on her as a leader and in current contintuity Disney seems to have entirely forgotten that Leia could be a badass general and trained to wield a lightsaber, both at the same time.

All this to say, Luke and Leia are the odd ones out, both because they know even less about Jedi than Anakin does and because they aren’t Padawans.

Luke is a strange case, and maybe I’m reading his character wrong, but he seems to put things being fair above other motivations, especially when he’s younger. He isn’t obsessed with rules, like Obi-Wan, but he doesn’t really go out of his way to break them, either. Like, he didn’t stray too far away from the Lars’ homestead. He hung out with his friends only occasionally and worked on the homestead a lot. When Owen tells him he can’t leave Tatooine, Luke is disappointed but he tells Obi-Wan that he can’t leave because Owen needs him (and in the best (deleted) scene ever created, he tells Biggs that he can’t leave his uncle and aunt alone while they still need him, no matter how much he wants to). Luke is a rule follower, somehow? Despite being Luke Skywalker, he follows rules more often than not, and isn’t that weird???

Leia acts like an unholy mixture of her mother and father, where she sasses people and is disrespectful in a chipper tone and she definitely bit at least one person as a child, no one can convince me she didn’t. In Legends’ continuity, the book Heir to the Empire explains that people used to mistake Leia’s friend Winter for the “real” Princess Leia Organa. Which, they say it’s because Winter is very regal in bearing, but I can only imagine that it was also because Leia was definitely the type of kid to wander in covered in mud and offer no explanation whatsoever. (I like Leia being a bit feral, okay??? She is already so weird. She finds out Luke is her brother and her first thought is “we can hide you from the Empire forever, Luke, forever and ever” and in Heir of Darkness she’s upset because Luke is upset and there’s nothing she can do to help him because he won’t tell her what’s wrong but also Han is gone and Leia’s first response to loneliness is to get pissed that Han left in the first place. Leia lied to Tarkin’s face in front of Darth fucking Vader and she spoke back to Darth fucking Vader and she absolutely screams at Han during the first movie for being stupid and I’m telling you, Leia is the feral one. Leia Organa, Princess of Alderaan, the one who everyone expects to be refined and regal, is the feral twin, you can’t change my mind it’s canon-)

So, imagining Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, Luke, and Leia, all being in the same spot at the same time, all being like sixteen. And I want to make it the Jedi High Council’s problem because I enjoy making things the Jedi High Council’s problem :)

Qui-Gon would absolutely convince Anakin and Leia to do something stupid with him. Obi-Wan would definitely be trying to be the mature one while also fighting the urge to follow everything Qui-Gon says (he likes Qui-Gon, and Qui-Gon may have led him astray many times, but surely Qui-Gon won’t again, righf???). Ahsoka would be off in the corner wondering why this is her life. Luke is sitting next to her asking her questions because he’s hoenstly curious, but instead of being about the way she looks or anything, Luke is like “Do you think they have lakes here? I’ve never seen a lake. Fountains??? What’s a fountain? Can I see one-? A thoUSAND!!!!??? :D”

Shaak Ti and Plo Koon are living their best lives. Plo Koon gets to spend time with Ahsoka again, and you cannot tell me he wouldn’t be utterly charmed by a young Leia who asks things very politely and stiffly one second and then kicks someone in the shin the next second. Shaak Ti is over there like “I should have stolen you from Dooku, Qui-Gon, and you from Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and you from Obi-Wan, Anakin, and you from, who did you say your teacher was, again?” Luke: “Ms. Apel, she teaches Survival School. She let me sneak in a womp rat and only looked a bit weirded out when I ate it :)” and Anakin, immediately: “You went to Survival School? What was it like?” And Shaak Ti just smiles while Luke explains and pats his head and thinks “I should figure out how to return as a Force Ghost…”

(btw I’m not one hundred percent sure, but the only time school on Tatooine is mentioned, in my memory, is in the 1976 novel and it was specifically called Survival School and I will not get over the idea of Luke being the one out of all of these padawans who inexplicably knows how to hogtie someone and/or survive alone for three weeks in the desert with no supplies, which is what they teach at Survival School, I can only assume)

Mostly just want Qui-Gon zoning out and Luke zoning out next to him. Leia and Ahsoka bonding over girly things, you know, like dresses and cute boys and cute girls and sharp sticks and big rocks and that cool lizard; girl stuff. Anakin is nervous but trying not to show it and so he’s sticking to Obi-Wan, but this just makes Obi-Wan nervous, and Obi-Wan’s fight or flight instincts are going to kick in at any second, so Anakin gets more riled up, which riles up Obi-Wan more, which riles up Anakin more, which-

Basically, I want the whole story to end with Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, Luke, and Leia all standing in front of the Council. Qui-Gon is holding an armful of puppies. Obi-Wan is very tired and his sleeve is still on fire despite the fact that Anakin shoved him into a fountain and he wishes he ignored Qui-Gon. Anakin is soaking wet and trying to look angry instead of guilty. Ahsoka is hiding more puppies behind her back. Luke is zoning out, probably thinking about geometry or something, and he is covered in dirt and does not seem to notice. Leia is also covered in dirt, but she glares at anyone who looks at her or Luke for too long and is starting to growl whenever someone makes eye contact with Anakin and Anakin flinches.

Yoda: “Happened, what did?”

Qui-Gon: “:)”

Mace: “Qui-Gon.”

Qui-Gon: “:D”

Everyone: “Qui-Gon, please, tell us you didn’t-“

Qui-Gon: “I can’t lie to you, Masters, nor do I wish to. I can’t help what I did, Masters, the Force willed it.”

Everyone, including Obi-Wan: groans

Luke: “Can we name one of the dogs after my other dog?”

Qui-Gon, immediately: “Yes, of course. What was your dog’s name?”

Luke: “Fido.”

Everyone: “That’s a pretty normal name, I guess-“

Luke: “It’s short for Fighter Jet T-56.”

Qui-Gon: “Lovely name.”

Luke: :D

Qui-Gon: :D

Everyone else: “Oh no.”

And yeah, that’s my idea, to put it simply: Chaos Incarnate, Padawan Edition

Hey! I found your blog the other day because I was salty and looking through fandom opinions to make myself even saltier. You said something about Ahsoka that made me stop dead. I had to read it several times just to be sure and even then I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was alone in not liking Ahsoka - this entire fandom is set on making her out to be this ✨Super Awesome Special Best Girl Who Does Everything Right All The Time✨ and those are literally the only opinions you hear about her. But right from her introduction I didn’t like her. That’s a rant for another time, but I’m just going to leave it at how I’m so confused by her personality. She grew up in the Temple, right? So why is she so Rebellious™️? Why does she wear a crop top and mini skirt? Why’s she so sassy and rude to people? That’s not normal Padawan behaviour no matter what anyone says. They were just trying to find a marketable character for a children’s show and gave her the personality of every Nickelodeon American Teen Protagonist!

Welcome to the fold, new sibling. Have some candy, we like to share here in the Ahsoka Haters Club. >o<

I think you hit the mark on focusing on making her ~relatable to the Youths~ in her intro more than making sense for her character/how a real teenager would act. (Sabine and Ezra felt much more natural to me in that aspect.) I also think part of the issue is something soooo many female characters are forced into - male-dominated fandoms like this tend to be hostile to women (see: Ahsoka's debut period, Rey, Rose, Cara Dune before those types realized the actress was One Of Them, the Kotor fans who are intensely against female Revan or sexualize Mission, etc) so the creator(s) go overboard in trying to make them appealing to that particular loud section of fandom. So Ahsoka wears age- and character-inappropriate clothes*, she's snarky and sassy and "one of the guys." And in this rare case, it worked. She was eventually assimilated. Notice how she's replaced Padme in 99% of official and fandom merch? Padme, a character who is reduced to "sadness" or "fashion icon" (neither as easy to box up and tie with a neat Girlboss bow despite her demonstrated political activism and combat prowess) aka has actual character traits and flaws, reacts to things in a not-always-appealing-to-fandom way but in a way that makes sense for her character, is written to be multifaceted and not just designed to appeal to the common majority? Huh.

(Leia's "she's not a princess anymore she's a general" thing also felt that same way to me and rubbed me the wrong way, but Leia largely escaped Girlbossification because she was already a fully realized character in her own right, and also being created before the internet-style fandom probably helped.)

*Apparently we can lay that at the feet of George "there is no underwear in space" Lucas though. Once Filoni took over Ahsoka started wearing MUCH better outfits. Credit where it's due. (Ripping off Gandalf for your shitty oc still sucks though, let's be clear. But contrast her Rebels and TCW S7 looks with her tube top or cocktail dress for example. And as someone who had boobs about Ahsoka's size at her age, a tube top wouldn't cut it for marching band let alone lightsaber combat. Her first look was AWFUL.)

#if you don't have anything nice to say about ahsoka come sit by me lmao #anti ahsoka #anti ahsoka tano #anon #asks
