You know one of the funniest things about Palpatine saying “I am all the Sith” is somewhere in the darkness thousands of Sith are saying “the fuck your are” and very much not helping him, just saying lol.
It’s even funnier if you’re well versed in The Old Republic- pre Darth Bane Sith culture lol

Imagine in episode 4, instead of just turning off the trash compactor, R2 set the death star to self destruct, while also changing the codes and stuff so they can’t stop it. Then when obi-wan is about to duke it out with darth vader, r2 tells obi wan to get on the ship or else he’ll tell luke and lelia the truth, obi wan legs it to the ship and they leave.
Hans all like “so, what do we do now? They’re going to kill us”
And r2 is like “b*tch don’t worry. Its going to explode in 3…2…1” then boom! The death star explodes and ends the 20 year war.

Clone wars hc
Been lurking on tumblr for a bit (while) and decided to throw my own clone wars hc cause the hyperfixation be hyper fixated (sorry for any spelling errors).
Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan are bffs - They both lose their robes and seem to flirt with anything that walks. meaning they have get togethers and give each other flirting advice.
Jocasta Nu and Admrial Yularen are BAMF, and are severly underrated. you don't get away with hurting someone they care about unpunished.
Rex's first thought of ashoka was "that's a child" followed by "that's a child on a battle field" and then "that's a child on a battle field with no clothes, what the kark".
One of the shinies from Monnk's battalion definitely asked Fisto (while high on pain meds) if he lactates and monnk and fisto lost their shit and couldn't stop laughing for 5 min straight.
Kix (and other medics by default) have tranq/hypo guns for any vode or jedi that try to leave med bay when on bed rest.
Fox and Amidala gossip and constantly talks shit about Palpatine
Kit Fisto Smile Supremacy, this man win's best smile, it never fails to cheer someone up.
Rex definitely twirls his guns before putting them in his holsters when he's done using them
Bly is obviously in love with Aayla, and he tries to hide it (and fails miserably) but he's so respectful about loving her and swooning, that Quinlan couldn't even give him a shovel talk.
the clones were absolutely baffled when they met the jedi's
Wolffe and Fox are twins, they might be at each others throats 90% of the time, but if you talk shit about the one of them, the other won't hesitate to beat your ass.
Monnk says the most off handed shit in a dead pan tone (ex. Monnk: well I'm not gonna live, laugh, love this. Fisto, laughing his ass off: I-I'm Sorry? Monnk: I'm just saying this is gonna be a bitch)
Plo Koon is Plo Buir, He's at least adopted the Wolf Pack and Ashoka
the 501st and Ashoka are siblings
Grey adopted Caleb Dume
The Iron Battalion/13th battalion took one look at Cal and immediately adopted him
Ponds isn't dead (cause fuck canon), he found Boba before his schemes could go off and made him a deal, He helps Boba plan the assassination attempts on Windu (he trust his general won't die, but he gave him more headaches) so there's no casualties, but slowly the attempts stop and now Boba just lives in the 91st venator's vents.
The first time Cody picked up Obi-Wan's lightsaber he thought it was so cool, and now he just wants to glue the damn thing into his hand
Hound spoils Grizzer, he absolutely adores the massif
Jesse make sure Kix is actually taking care of himself, and make sure he's not over working (and when necessary, he uses a hypo to make sure Kix sleeps, cause Kix will hold that over his head and pay him back for it)
Fox and Thorn are opposites but they are really close
The corrie guard has a list of all the good and bad senators
The most forms that Monnk and Cody (and occasionally Ponds) fill out are forms for more robes
Cody's name is Kote (but goes by Cody cause so many nat borns mispronounce it) and Obi-Wan randomly asked if that was his name, and Cody was just utterly shocked
After Umbara, Fox say a very traumatized trooper (it's Dogma) who is facing shitty consequences for doing the right thing and adopts him into the guard
After Kix woke up from his stasis and found artoo's (again, fuck canon) he would stay up on nights he couldn't sleep and watch videos of him and his vode from artoo's memory bank
Clones using their Jedi's lightsaber - Cody using Kenobi's lightsaber after he loses it for the millionth time, Rex using it to back ventress away from ashoka, Fox finding quinlan's in a dumpster (with quinlan in said dumpster)
Hound let's grizzer purposely tackle people when he can easily apprehend them because it's funny or because whoever he's chasing pissed him off and he's petty
Yoda is the ultimate menace (like srs palpitine hates his ass, but yoda -and everyone else- hates him even more)
Yoda still keeps in touch with Rys, Jek, and Thire (mainly Thire) after the treaty or smth
The Corrie found Quinlan Vos in a dumpster and now he won't stop bugging them (expecially Fox)
Fox is a walking encyclopedia of every republic laws, you do one minor thing wrong and he can quote every law you broke, word to word
A trooper (let's call him Sharks) from Fisto and Monnk's battalion can just get a group of sharks to gather around, at every planet, every time, without fail
Plo's disappointed dad sigh can make a separatist army fold into defeat
Kenobi absolutely loathes caf, he hates it with a passion
Each high ranking clone officer has to deal with something of their jedi - Cody has to deal with Kenobi flirting with seperatist and losing his lightsaber, Rex has to deal with his general constantly crashing ships, his batshit crazy plans and his general continuously using the force to throw him, Monnk has to deal with his general randomly "shedding" clothes, and all the clones have to deal with their generals and commanders not wearing armor (Except for Jaro Tapal, HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO WEARS ARMOR)
Corrie Guard can sleep standing up, very useful when guarding in the pods during senate meetings
The nice Senators (mainly Chuichi, Amidala, and Organa) and Vos very often get things for the Coruscant Guards, and whenever the guard see's the gifts they are baffled and bamboozled
Rex called dibs on Domino squad after the moon mission
Echo and Fives without hesitation took Tup and Dogma under their wing
Fives, Hardcase and Jesse started a prank war in the 501st that accidently evolved into a GAR wide prank war (with Coruscant being neutral ground, cause the guard doesn't need to deal with that shit, doesn't mean they don't help out)
Fox holds ALL the blackmail, and has multiple informants in every battalion, plus he has the power to withhold caf shipments
Fox also regularly reads his batchmates mission reports to mae sure their ok
The Corrie guard accidently adopted a stray tooka and a loth cat, now they're the guards emotional support animals
Rex keeps complaining about his brothers flirting with their jedi's that he didn't even realized that he third wheeled between Anakin and Padme that he joined their relationship
every mothers or fathers day without fail, shaak ti and plo koon always gets presents and gifts from their children (troopers and cadets.... and ashoka)
Coric is Kix's Ori'vod, he didn't admit it at first but Kix grew on him and well medics stay togeth
Coric purposely avoided being CMO of the 501st because they are hellions, Kix wanted to strangle him after he realized what being CMO of the 501st meant
Rex was on the 212th with Cody when Anakin was still a padawan
Rex hates evals, natural blonde plus Kamino is a recipe for hell. Also he was shocked at Skywalker being nonchalant about his hair, Anakin just though it made him cooler
That's all I have for now, if you see any you've seen before my bad, I honestly just typed the first that came to mind and kinda spiraled from there. I'm just now starting to interact with tumblr, so I might upload more and maybe even some art if I can stay focused long enough.

Fool's Journey
@fan-maddson
Leia moved with purpose, the book in her arms wrapped in cloth. She was on her way to one of the empty quarters where Fanndas, Luke, and Han should be waiting. The empire was winning and they had all lost so much already.
They’re only hope is to travel back in time and try to stop it from happening. They had to save Anakin Skywalker and stop Obiwan—the father of her and Luke—from becoming Vader. Palpitine was too strong and so was Vader.
She slipped inside and the door closed behind her. She saw her team around the table.
“This is all I could find but it gives us a start,” she explained, setting the book down.
She of course had no way of knowing that it wasn't Obiwan or Vader who was their father. She also had no way of knowing that doing this would ensure their birth in the past...but maybe it could still change their future.

Padme Amidalia asked AT LEAST once whether Anakin was into *her* or into her badassery. She was how he looked at Rex, decided it was both, and then proceeded to kick Palpatines ass in public for meeting with A 9 YEAR OLD boy when he was a senator.
Obi-Wan tells EVERY news station that asks that Palpitine KEPT ASKING until they HAD to say yes. Anakin reads it, thinking it’s about two different people and says that that ‘sleemo shouldn’t have EVER been granted access to a kid like that’!… a lot of things are put into perspective after that. Padme and Anakin bring Rex into their couple. Everyone is happy except Palpitine.

Val knelt on the floor of one of the overlooks in the temple, the whole room was filled with the golden late afternoon light. She was deep in meditation searching for any lights in the force, she’d been doing it for days looking for any whisper of another force sensitive, her men were Starting to get worried but Val felt she was very close.
In that moment Val found a light and quickly latched on
@jedi-mom
Striker sat low behind some crates with her eyes closed. She managed to escape the temple just four days ago. She was exhausted from running and evading her clone brethren. Where was Anakin? Why wasn't he here protecting her? Assuring her everything would be alright? For once, she felt scared and alone. But, that is what Sidious, Palpitine would want. She searched the force trying to find another within its vast void.
Finally, she found it and latched to it like a child hugging their parent after a nightmare. She recognized the light and glow. Val? Am I glad to see you?

Another Code, its sequel, Hotel Dusk, and Last Window are implied to take place in the same universe, but Another Code Recollection has dialogue that says Kyle Hyde is the name of a character in a novel and not a real person.
Tumblr media
Kyle Hyde is the main character of Hotel Dusk and Last Window, so that dialogue implies that the games are in-universe novels. In the original version of Another Code R there were cameos from several Hotel Dusk characters found in a photographer's house, I got to that point in Recollection
Tumblr media
and found that the cameos were still there. Top left, Jenny Smith
Tumblr media
and her father Dunning Smith
Tumblr media
Top right, Louis "Louie" DeNonno,
Tumblr media
and Martin Summer
Tumblr media
Bottom right is the captain from Another Code
Tumblr media
and Rosa Fox from Hotel Dusk, who is implied to be his wife.
Tumblr media
The bottom left photo is of Matthew Crusoe, his parents, and his sister, who are all from Another Code R and aren't cameos.
I'm not sure why they would keep the cameos while implying that they're fictional in-universe.
Formatting went off, asks do that,
Wonder what the odds the people that were making the in universe stories forgot to read the other stuff first.
Old school Star Wars EU stuff one of the rules for the authors was they had to keep characters the same in universe, if they'd died in one book you can't just bring them back.
Wish the more recent movies had stuck to that rule, then again we'd miss out on such oscar worthy lines as 'somehow palpitine survived'
Probably not a lot of different writers for the series though so might just be a boneheaded oversight for this one.

Scenes of the Bad Batch trailer that I think everyone sort-of ignored or at least didn't talk about much.
Tumblr media
Okay, so this. Rampart is aiming at someone obviously, and he looks pretty determined to shoot. Who I would think he most likely aiming at is Crosshair. Maybe one of the Bad Batch. And look in the background. I'm getting Cloud City vibes about this place.
Tumblr media
Omega and... Petro?? It looks a lot like him, but it might be someone else.
Tumblr media
This scene is only a few seconds long, but you can see Omega is watching just as Palpitine comes up. It might mean she is the only one watching this bc none of the other Bad Batch members are visible. How did she get in tho?
Tumblr media
This guy. Idk who or what he is, and he might just be a side character, or he has a huge roll in this season.
Tumblr media
Confusing. It is clearly a clone and droids... I was thinking it's possibly a flashback or something. Are they bringing droids back to a certain place?? There are several other scenes with droids.
Tumblr media
Again, Omega seems to be alone. Behind her are several droids with blasters. Maybe Omega is on a mission of her own..? To find something or rescue someone?
Tumblr media
Scorch (I think this is him) is probably going to have a little screen time. He looks rather.. discontent.
Tumblr media
Their going to Kashyyyk. Nothing else to say here.
Tumblr media
If you look reeeeaaly close, I'm positive these are young clones.
I think one of the main things that is going to happen in this season is gathering clones, as Echo even said, "There are others out there that need our help." He must mean young and/or lone clones such as the ones in the picture above. Also, in legends Cody was stationed on Kashyyyk after order 66. It may be that the Bad Batch find him there, or somehow get a signal from him.
The weird crab-like creatures look a lot like ones in the High Republic comics. They are actually called Vonduun crabs which are carnivorous crabs native to the remote planet Zav Alox.

I don’t know what is about Marko but when I think of him I think of Emperor Palpitine from Star Wars. Maybe it’s the fact that he also runs an evil empire, or that people keep trying to get rid of him and they can’t, or that he kind of looks like him, but I can’t separate the image in my mind.
Every time he shows up in the RBR garage

so something something something of a one shot i will probably do, rather than the epic i kinda shat out, something something something. warning for mention os dehumanization, palpitine being fucking creepy, references to harm to a child via force lightning, child soldiers, etc - standard star wars things :) biggest tw is ... not beta'd. at all.
“Aren’t you curious?”  
Mara raises her brow but says nothing. The mess hall is busy enough and while farm-boy is still regarded with a sense of awe among everyone, the two could find respite in both getting lost in the crowd of people so they can talk without being overheard too much. Skywalker, for all his near status as a modern-day legend, has mastered shielding enough to appear unassuming if he wants; as for Mara, well, the ex-child assassin wouldn’t have been good at what she did if she didn’t know how to blend into the crowd.  
She doesn’t want to delve too deep into why she feels a sense of camaraderie with Skywalker who, by all intents and purposes, she had tried to kill not very long ago. Which resulted in her capture which resulted in … well, she isn’t quite a defector, or at least not one by choice originally, but she isn’t Imperial.  
She will never be that again. She will never be a number again. She isn’t quite sure of who she is, or what she is, but she knows she’s more than just a means to an end.  
Aren’t you just a means to an end here, my dear? A voice that sounds too much like him creeps in her head. You are a monster and always will be … my beautiful little monster.  
“Mara?” 
Skywalker gives her a look. He’s patient, too kind to her, and it makes her skin itch. Sometimes Mara isn’t certain if Skywalker pities her or genuinely wants to see her. Neither makes her feel comfortable, but she hopes it isn’t pity. She doesn’t think she could stomach pity. Not when the mind healer the Alliance High Council forces her to see twice a week when she’s on the base radiates pity when they speak. “You’re not going to let me brood over stale ration bars by myself, are you?”  
Skywalker’s smile is kind.  
Why the kriff does he have to be so kind?  
Stupid farm-boy.  
“No.” He answers, good-naturedly, even biting off a piece of his own ration bar. He winces because the only person who eats ration bars without complaint is Organa but chews it all the same. “I was just wondering, well, aren’t you curious? The emperor is dead,” yes, she may not be his hand anymore, but that doesn’t mean she can’t wince as an almost visceral pain lance in her heart. She may have been a means to an end to him, but to Mara he everything. “The war will be over soon. Wouldn’t you want to know where you come from?” 
Mara knows where she comes from. She comes from Nur. She comes from darkness and loneliness, and the smell of blood and rot filled her lungs before she knew how to read. She comes from long, skeletal claws combing through her hair as she’d sit in front of the man who promised to make her his child in truth if only she’d do what he’d tell her to the letter, weaving stories of how special she was and how she’d make him so proud. Mara comes from the same hands that shot lightning because someone saw her slit a Moff's throat when she ought to have been much cleverer in her attempt, and that at fourteen she should curb her impulses.  
The last one made her black out and wake up in the private imperial med center. To her credit, she never made that mistake again.  
She understands what Skywalker is asking, though; he’s recently found a sister, Organa, and he thinks that because she’s an orphan she longs for the same things he longs for. Home. Family.  
Never forget you are only two-hundred-twelve, the Grand Inquisitor had reminded her when she left Nur for Coruscant. She had been only eleven years old and hand-picked by the emperor himself. She could feel the envy and the hate drip from the man with every single syllable. She would be above him, a little child, and he hated it. Hated her for it. Mara had relished it something splendid.  
Numbers are no one. Numbers don’t have families. Numbers are discarded. 
“Not really.” Skywalker gives her a look, but he doesn’t say anything more. The conversation is over for now.

Watching Revenge of the sith to enjoy the  team of Obi-Wan and Anakin in the begining . The  opening of them flying ,so fucking close together . To the chaos  of rescuing  Palpitine and the General Grievous  part .
Will always a be one of the reason I love this movie .,So far more than the others. Made me also think how similar Padme and Obi -Wan is . Kenobi is the female verision of Padme and vice versa .

STAR WARS: SAVING THE CHOSEN ONE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Please note I have messed with the timeline a bit. Pong Krell was executed in season 5 of Star wars: the clone wars. Please understand that any changes are so I better interact with the universe.
  The force watched in despair. The planet was devastated from the battle between the two force users. Rocks with marks from lightsabers layed scattered from being hurled as weapons to distract the opponent and create an opening. Finally, the blue lightsaber of the graying redhead struck across the helmet of the sith. The redhead man, once known as Obi-Wan Kenobi, was shocked yet relieved to see the burnt and scar face of his Former padawan. The sith that was on his knees struggling to breathe was sith lord Darth Vader or as he was known years ago, Anakin Skywalker Jedi knight, the hero with no fear, the hero of tomorrow, chosen one who was supposed to destroy the sith and bring balance to the force.
The force itself watched, saddened by the turn of events that occurred years ago that the force was powerless to stop. The force watched as Palpatine killed Kit Fisto and two other members of the Jedi consul. It watched as Mace Windu and Papatine dueled until the Jedi had the sith down for the count until Anakin came and chopped Mace’s hand off thus allowing the sith to kill the Jedi. The force watched as Anakin was forced to join the sith to save his wife. It watches as the sith issued order sixty six and began the Jedi purge.
The force watched as the chosen one lost the duel with his former master. And it watched as Anakin Skywalker lost his wife and his unborn child. It watched as Padme Amadalia died of a broken heart after she gave birth to the twins Luke and Leah Skywalkwer. It watched as the twins were separated and the remaining Jedi went into hiding. But, the force always focused on the former chosen one. Yes, Qui-Gon Jinn had been right all those years ago. And the force was saddened by how far Anakin had fallen. The force could have intervened at any time it wanted to but it held out hope that Anakin would turn back to the light. But, those hopes never came to fruition.
The force watched with regret as Obi-Wan walked to his former padawan and brother. The blue blade of the lightsaber that Anakin knew so well raised above him and the fallen Jedi knew it was the end. He looked deep into Obi-Wan’s eyes, this caught the old Jedi off guard. The former Jedi had a sad smile on his burnt lips. “I’m sorry Obi-Wan. I’m sorry for everything. Go ahead, it’s okay master. I’ll see Padme again.” as he spoke the sith’s eyes reverted back to their blue color. The red haired Jedi smiled back just as sadly tears forming in his aged eyes. “You’re forgiven my padawan.” The emotion in Obi-Wan’s voice was thick as he began to bring the saber down.
The force decided enough was enough and froze time around the galaxy. The blue blade froze as did everything else. The force knew Anakin was the only one who COULD end Palpitine’s rineg of terror and bring balance. But, it was too late. The second the force unfroze time the blade would go down on Anakin’s neck, killing him. The force knew that even if it could intervene here it wouldn’t matter. Anakin was more machine than man now and would be no match to Darth Sidious. The force knew the only option was to change history to prevent the fall of the republic. But, then the question was how to keep Anakin from falling. The force pondered this until it recalled another of its favorites. A young human boy that was a Jedi at the time. He was a Padawan without a master at the time. Ah yes, the force recalled young sixteen year old Justin Bush. a very talented Jedi but he fell as well. Now he wasn’t known as Justin Bush but rather as the first brother. The more the force thought of it it made sense. Rewind time and send a message to Yoda to assign Justin as Anakin’s first padawan left the Jedi order thus perhaps stopping Anakin’s fall to the darkside. The force smiled as it watched as time started to rewind. This could save the galaxy and give happiness to two who deserved it the most.
21 BBY (season 5 of Star wars the clone wars) Justin POV
I sighed as I stared into the mirror of the fresher in my room that was in the apartment I share with my Master, Pong Krell. I did not like what I saw in the mirror. Not one bit. Bruises, marks, cuts and scars were what met my brown eyes. All of which were inflicted by my “master”. My skin was more scared than what it should be for a fourteen year old that hasn't seen a day of this war. It was the same thing since I was assigned to Master Krell when I was thirteen. A year ago. A year of abuse and harsh training. Master Krell was one of the prominent generals in the clone wars yet, he never took me into battle. He always cited my autism. But I knew that was a bunch of bantha shit. He just didn’t want to risk anyone finding out about my abuse. I used to wear sleeveless robes that showed my toned, freckled arms. But now I wear sleeves to hide the cuts and marks. I hardly talked to any of my friends anymore. Well, except Cal. Cal is like a little brother and has yet to find a master despite him being the best of his group.
I eat alone. I train alone. I study alone. I am alone. My Master has isolated me from the rest of the Jedi order. I feel an anger bubble up in my very being as I can’t take my eyes off of my body. The only part that remains undamaged is my face. Well, on the outside. But, no one can deny how my eyes are more heavy, having lost their shine long ago. I wanted to punch the mirror that showed me what I’d become. A shell of a padawan who was too scared to reveal his abuse to the Jedi counsel. I was glad my “master” had gone on a mission with the five hundred and first. It gave me some time to heal but not a lot.
The entire temple was somber. It was only a month after Asoka Tanno left the order. And I couldn’t exactly blame her. The Jedi bent to the pressure of the senate and expelled Asoka. It turned out that Barris Offree was the one who blew the hanger up. I didn’t know either of them well but they were always nice to me. Barris wasn’t the only one who had lost faith in the Jedi. I was starting too and I knew it must have been the same for Anakin Skywalker. I knew he was of course. He was the hero with no fear and the chosen one. I knew he was accepted into the order at nine. I also knew that he blamed the counsel for the death of his mother. And I also knew he blamed the counsel for bowing to the senate. And to be honest? I don’t blame him.
I was pulled out of my musing by a knock at the apartment door. It must have been the droid with the mail. I didn’t bother to put my tunic on as it was a droid and was programmed to not report anything we didn’t want it too. As I approached the door I didn’t notice the force signature on the other side of the door. I really wish I had some damn caf. I opened the door expecting to see the mail droid but instead I saw Master Obi-wan Kenobi. The fellow redhead’s eyes widened slightly before going back to normal.
“Good morning Padawan Bush, I was here to inform you the Jedi council wished to speak with you, but it appears that a trip to the healers is in order afterwards.” The famed negotiator of the Jedi order said taking in every mark, burse, cut and scar on my body. My face flushed with embarrassment as I looked down while summoning my tunic from my room with the force. “Master Kenobi, I wasn’t expecting you this morning.” The amused smirk that appeared on the council member’s face didn’t quite reach his eyes.
“I can see that. Now, you can do your tunic on the way to the council’s chamber. There's an urgent matter we must discuss with you.” And with that the redhead started to walk leaving me to stumble after him. As I walked I did my tunic tight as Master Kenobi had seen my abuse and I would already be forced into a trip to the healers. I didn’t need to expose my abuse. “Master” Krell would kill me. And no, I don’t mean that figuratively. As we walked towards the tower that housed the Jedi council’s chamber I didn’t notice Master Obi-Wan communicating through his bond with the rest of the Council. The ride in the turbolift was calm if not slow. I felt waves of calm dousing the fire of my nerves.
I had always been told that my emotions in the force were like an explosion. That I had an aura about me that made people want to protect me and soothe me when I’m in distress. The turbolift doors open revealing a long hall to a single door. I remember being down this hall when I was four, when I was first brought to the temple after my parents died. I remembered being carried in a padawan's arms as I tried to stop my sobs. I remember him rubbing circles on my back. I remember the words of comfort he whispered in my ear. I remember him wiping the blood from the cut in the middle of my eyebrow. I remember so much of him but I don’t remember his name.
I was brought to the present by Master Obi-Wan’s voice. “Padawan, Wait out here while I inform the Council of your arrival.” I nodded as he walked into the Council chamber. The second the doors slid closed I felt a feeling of dread fill me. something was wrong. I just knew it. Something had changed but I Didn’t know what. I also knew Master Kenobi would most likely mention my injuries and I knew that I couldn’t try to lie. I wanted to. But, the force told me to do so would be stupid. I played with my padawan braid as I waited for the doors to the Jedi council to open. Sometimes I wish I had been sent to the service corps. At least there I would have never incurred the abuse I had. The doors to the chamber opened.  It felt as though the Force was making me walk into the chamber but I did so all the same.
As I walked in I couldn’t help but notice that only half the council was prescient. Oppo Rancisis, Yoda, Adi Gallia, Eeth Koth, Mace Windu, Plo Koon, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto were the ones present. I could feel each council member’s eyes on me, as if staring into my soul. Each Member’s eyes were filled with different emotions. Sadness, Pity, understanding, distrust and many others. But, I kept what little calm I could muster as I prepared to answer the council’s questions.
“Young one, Good to see you, it is.” Master Yoda greeted me with a smile and his ears poking upwards. Master Yoda had always been one of my favorite Jedi masters around the temple as he and I had a special bond. I was the only autistic Jedi in the order and had a lot of issues with conitrateing and being able to keep my emotions under wrapps.  Yoda had taken me under his wing to avoid any issues as I grew older. I sometimes think he would have taken me as his padawan had the war not happened.
“It’s nice to see you as well Master Yoda.” I said with a smile and a bow of respect. It felt relaxed when Master Yoda spoke to me, as though he knew my nerves and was trying to keep me calm. Unfortunately, someone had to shatter this. “Padawan, we don’t have time for the pleasantries. We have received troubling reports about your master and we have questions.” Master Windu said with contempt in his voice. He always disliked me. It always bothered me but I kept my calm.
“What Master Windu means,” Master Obi-Wan said with a slight glare at Master Windu. “Is that some disturbing events have occurred that involved your Master. And as his Padawan we have some questions for you.” Ah, Master Obi-Wan, ever the diplomat but the way they phrased it only increased the pit in my stomach. “Masters, may I ask what events have occurred? And how Is my Master involved?” I felt the feeling in my stomach grow as the council shared a look. “Padawan, I’m sorry to inform you but your Master was killed in a possible mutiny and-” I don’t hear the rest of Master Kenobi’s sentence after the first part. I was shocked. Master Krell was dead? He was Killed by a clone? He Couldn’t hurt me anymore? Did he hurt the Clones like he did me? It was a lot. And I couldn’t focus, I could feel myself start to get overwhelmed. I could hear someone calling my name but it felt as though they were in a forcefield. I barely saw someone stand in front of me. I couldn’t process all the information that had just been thrown at me. I could feel My panic spiral until Someone placed a hand on my shoulder.
“Justin, You’re okay. You need to match my breathing.” Master Kenobi told me in a calm voice. It took me a bit but I did manage to calm down. “I take It you didn’t know of your Master’s plan to abuse the clones?” Master Obi-Wan asked me softly and I could Only nod shyly at the question. “Did your master abuse you as well?” Was his follow up. I nodded again as my voice kept failing me. He hovered his hand around my tunic as if asking for permission to remove my tunic. I tensed but I gave him a nod. As Master Kenobi undid my tunic I heard gasps from the rest of the council as they saw the marks, bruises and scars on my torso. I felt ashamed and looked at the floor. I felt the looks bare into me and I felt embarrassed. I wanted to disappear and get away from the pity. I heard Yoda walk closer to me as I heard his walking stick. “Your fault, it was not. Abuse you, your master did. Obi-Wan, take him to the healing halls, you will. Wait for his new master with him, you will.” Yoda said softly but with an authoritative tone. I saw Obi-Wan nod and he warped my tunic around me to cover my abuse.
I layed on the bed in the healing halls as still as I could per the healer’s orders as I described my abuse to Obi-Wan for an official report for the chancellor to read. I was in a private room as all of the patent rooms were. I felt stuipd describing every injury to Obi-Wan. Despite Obi-Wan’s reassurances I felt like I let Krell abuse me. I was describing the burns on my shoulder when the door to my room slid open. “Ah Anakin. I’m glad you came to meet your new padawan.” Obi-Wan said and I could practically hear the knowing smirk in the redhead’s voice. I looked up from my lap to see my new master. I looked up to see Anakin Skywalker. I saw the frustrated look on his face turn into a look of sympathy.
“Hello there young one. It seems you've been through a lot. But, I’ll help you. I promise as your master I’ll protect you.” And I don’t know if it was because he was the hero with no fear or if it was because he was the chosen one, but I believed him and felt safe for the first time in a year. And I missed that feeling. But, I felt the force telling me it would all be okay.

Prisoners of Situations
@scarredbookworm
Anakin tried desperately to hold onto the person he once was. Palpitine wanted him to be Vader. But he hated the persona and all that came with it. Anakin was good, dammit. But he was trapped.
Never would he ever have believed that the Jedi denying him would lead him to this point. He had wanted to just go back to his life and take it as it comes. But then Palpatine had come for him. And all had been lost from then.
He had been naive and young and now he was wiser for it. He hated the empire and would do anything to escape.
