Writing real world AUs for SW is the biggest exercise in suspending ur disbelief because of those NAMES.

Obi-Wan? Yeah that's just Ben now regardless of what stage of life he's in. Dooku? Sorry you must mean signore Serenno. Legend has it he's some sort of Italian. Qui-Gon Jinn? Um. Uhhh. He was born to hippie parents in the 70s that's why. Yeah I know that's kinda fucked up. Don't ask about Ben's last name btw

#this is worse if you're writing something historical btw #currently chewing on my old west codywan horror cattle drive fic and. yeah #obi-wan is just ben #cody and rex are just names americans can plausibly have thank god #dooku is a british descendant of italian nobility which is funny bc it's kinda close to christipher lee's actual situation lmao #the way sw characters just be obtaining ethnic backgrounds based on their names as soon as you put them in a regular earth setting .... help
