OMG It’s Done
I’ve finally finished Darth Vader’s Castle as seen in Rogue One.
Tumblr media
(The angle just casually distorting my Jedi Temple over there, like why????)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah so, this took me a while, even though it’s a tutorial, it’s a big build. Also, there’s a lot of repetition that grates on the nerves a little, so I did it in stages to not go completely insane lol.
It’s not on a mountain or anything, but I did a little terraforming around it. I might have gone overboard with lava rivers on the ground, but hey, what’s a fortress on Mustafar without a lot of lava?
I don’t know if the interior will ever get done, I am trying to work on the interior of the Jedi Temple anyway, so that’s a priority as far as inside goes.

HOW DO YOU HUMANIZE A SITH LORD? REMOVE HIS ARMOR AND PLACE HIM IN A BACTA TANK.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on film stills of the Darth Vader/bacta tank scene from "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" (2016), directed by Gareth Edwards. Cinematography by Greig Fraser -- visual FX by ILM.
"I'm jealous of moments like in "Empire Strikes Back" where you see the back of [Vader’s] head and you just go, "oh my God, that is so cool," and wanted to try and find something like that in our film. [The bacta tank scene] was actually a Chris Cunningham-inspired thing of the idea of being in milk [like in the Björk music video] "All Is Full Of Love." He’s really a burns victim, and it’s not going to be fun for him when he’s not in the suit – he’s going to be uncomfortable. I love the idea of showing that he’s vulnerable as well. Vader’s very, very bad, and so you try and just glimpse something of him that gives him some humanity, or it makes you empathize with him. Just seeing those scars and realizing that he’s, you know, an amputee, and just reminding you of that before he does all his stuff, it makes you torn, I think. He’s just such a rich character, in so many ways."
-- GARETH EDWARDS (writer/director) on "humanizing" Darth Vader in Rogue One's "bacta tank" scene

Vader: Good morning. As you begin your day, remember that violence is always an option and often the answer. Obi-Wan: Vader: Obi-Wan: ...Please, go back to bed.

So like everybody else, I’m obsessed with the Jedi Survivor trailer, and there’s a lot to be dissected and analyzed, but the one thing that stands out most to me is:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cere Junda.
While Cal mostly just looks like Cal but older, Cere’s manner of dress has completely changed. She shaved her head, she’s wearing these intricate grey robes, and she has body paint or tattoos that are totally new to her. But their styling is familiar.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now this is a big leap for a Jedi character to be looking into Dathomiri magick, but we have to remember that Cere hasn’t been a Jedi for a LONG time. Though she reconnects with the force and uses a lightsaber when she infiltrates Fortress Inquisitorius, she’s still struggling with the dark side, and she’s fighting with bleeding crystals.
Tumblr media
She even KNIGHTS CAL with a red lightsaber - an act that would mean literally nothing out of the ordinary in Legends, where the red color is simply the Sith’s preferred Aesthetic, but with current Kyber lore, a “Jedi” being able to effectively fight with a red blade is indicative of them not only feeling the Dark Side, but actively using it.
We’ve seen plenty of other characters step away from the Jedi Code for a number of reasons. Some became Sith, some follow the Force in their own way, and some cut themselves off from the Force. But we saw one character choose a very distinct path:
Tumblr media
Taron Malicos embraced the Dark Side, but not through Sith teachings or simple dark side practice. He chose Magick and stole the knowledge of the Nightsisters as his own. I think, maybe fear, that Cere has chosen a similar path. Obviously she’s not appropriating the culture like Taron did - she’s most likely come to Merrin and asked to be taught in her peoples ways. I think Cere has given up fighting the Dark Side, and has chosen Magick as a means of trying to control it without letting it corrupt her as it would the Sith, and as it did her apprentice. Will this work? Probably not. I think this path will wedge a wall between her and Cal and lead to a lot of family drama. I have no idea how this will play out, but if this is the direction they’re taking the character, I’m extremely excited to see where it leads.

Vader's Fortress
Today's the dayyy! I posted the first chapter of Vader's Fortress to Wattpad! (Starting to put it on AO3 now!)
Since there are two prologues, one for Anakin and one for our MC, I went ahead and posted both of them! Here's Anakin's introduction into this SW parallel universe! It's a short one, enjoy!
And you can find the story here!
Tumblr media
Anakin Skywalker was dead. He died with Padmé. With the Jedi. With the Republic. In his place was...me.
Darth Vader.
When Obi-Wan Kenobi turned his back on me, I gathered the last of my strength and dragged myself two, maybe three meters. According to Darth Sidious, if I had not done this, I would have caught aflame. I'd be unrecognizable—that is, if I survived at all.
I did not believe him. Didn't believe I saved myself.
I still needed the suit. It kept me alive, so long as I did not go long without it. I lost my left leg and my one real hand. The leg had melted, and I felt everything. Sometimes I still did. Multiple organs were damaged.
I still had pain. Saved myself?
No. I saved nothing.
Twelve hours. Max. That was how much time I could safely go without the suit or a special bacta chamber.
I tried to push it, of course. The longest I lasted was eleven hours and thirty-seven minutes before I could no longer breathe, my lungs unable to continue on their own. It felt as if they were collapsing.
At first, I despised the suit. Uncomfortable. Hot. Clunky. Restrictive.
Until I started realizing my strength within it—and my weakness outside it.
After recovering, I spent the first few weeks doing my master's bidding. Each task seemed to require more recovery, starting with Jedi Master Kirak Infil'a for his lightsaber.
I killed the self-exiled Jedi and bled his kyber crystal. I met the Inquisitors and put the 'Grand' Inquisitor in his place. I put in endless orders to the Kuat Drive Yards.
I bowed. Constantly. Palpatine had me on my knees each time we met, and then on my back in agony. Force lightning—worse than I remembered.
Not that it mattered. I deserved every moment of pain, every second of misery.
Why? Because I killed Padmé. My wife. The mother of my unborn child.
I don't know the details, the how or the when. It doesn't matter.
She is dead. And she took me with her. Whatever remained in this broken organic form...it was but a shell, fit only to hold the rage. There was no room for anything else.
I was a masochist. Proven by the red planet coming into view before me: Mustafar. The planet where I lost everything.
This was my second visit since Kenobi left me to die. Palpatine was rapidly building his palace over the fallen Jedi Temple, but Coruscant would never be my home. I needed a sanctuary, and I knew just where to build it.
I didn't know what I wanted, but I was beginning to know the dark side. And it was there on Mustafar.
So, maybe I enjoyed the pain. Maybe I simply felt I deserved it. Honestly, I didn't bother looking too deeply. At anything.
Skipping the cracked landing pad, I lowered my newly modified Actis starfighter to a patch of dried, cooled magma next to the wrecked mining facility. As the ship began to quiet, the sounds of the planet grew louder.
The pop of lava. The swoosh of high winds. Even a far-off roar of some hungry, pissed-off beast.
Eventually, I stalked off the ramp, only to be bombarded with heat, even in my suit. I pulled my hood over my helmet because, as always, I felt like I was being watched. Friend or foe was no longer a question I asked—everyone was an enemy.
I worked my way up a ridge just above the old mining complex until I found a spot that provided a complete view of the surrounding lands. The destruction from my duel with Obi-Wan was beginning to look like a part of the planet as the lava took the area back.
My mask let out two quiet beeps. I shifted to the direction it indicated and waited three full seconds before the reading came up.
A camera eye was following me from the complex walls.
Curious. There wasn't supposed to be anything in this area, not for miles. Nothing else was happening in the ruins, though there was another camera further down on the opposite side.
I shifted slowly, taking in every angle, working in a circle. My back was to the mining complex when I saw it: the very top of a permacrete entry, the kinds the Techno Union used all over Mustafar. I couldn't see the building beyond it, but I recalled a science laboratory being the closest facility.
There was too much distance to get any readings from it. I knew it was unlikely I would find anything there. It was probably Palpatine watching me.
And yet...There was a pull to the place. It didn't feel like the dark side. Nothing was calling out to me. It wasn't a nudge in the Force. No, it felt more real, as if my physical body was being gently tugged toward it.
But my body was my enemy, too. It was barely my own. So as my body felt the need to cooly approach the place, I treated it as I would any other unknown risk.
I took control and approached on my terms.

Looks out spire and realises exactly how close I built Vader’s Castle to the Jedi Temple. Serious error in judgement there.
Tumblr media
To the right you can also see the start of the First Order hangar where I will put all small transport builds. That belong to the First Order, obviously. The Imperial one is behind that mountain in front of us and the Republic one is on the other side of the Temple.
And off to the left you can juuuuuust see the lanterns on the ground that are inside the Death Star’s shadow.
Whoops.
