In an effort to procrastinate writing in my fics... I've been designing cute Star Wars stuffed animals 😅 to be fair tho, these will be canon in my fic :3
Have you ever heard of squishmallows? They're these really cozy, fluffy, squishy stuffed animals that are so soothing and ✨heavenly✨ to snuggle up with 😌
underrated bit of legends comics lore is that qui-gon apparently smelled exactly as bad as you might imagine a crunchy granola weed uncle who only has one change of clothes and is fine sleeping in a ditch would smell. it was so bad the council reminisced about his musk fondly after he died. the idea of dooku and obi-wan, arguably two of the more urbane and well groomed characters in star wars had him for apprentice and master is tremendous. obi-wan's grunge era on tatooine was just another way of being closer to his memory lol
The numerous decoms of their batch means that no one has to risk the attention of the Kaminoans by sitting next to him. They will share his pod later, promising to remember him. Eventually he’ll be shared between batches as a cautionary tale and one of pride. It’s a cold comfort but it’s a comfort all the same.
That is why he startles when a larger clone drops onto the table across from him. It’s a CC, and they’re never allowed over with the CTs. They’ve passed in the hallways as they march along to the next tasks and later, once the CTs have enough training to be useful, they will send the CTs out into battle sims.
But right now, despite all sense to the contrary, there is a CC sitting across from 7567 and it is smiling—not a kind smile either, like 7567 sometimes sees shared between his batchmates behind their trainer’s backs. It’s a sharp slash that shows off a threatening number of teeth and a promise of blood.
“You’ve been requisitioned, verd’ika.”
A cold pit opens at the base of 7567’s abdomen and he feels himself collapsing in on it like a black hole. He doesn’t know what that means but he does know that it’s new. New things happening to him is never good. He licks his bottom lip and swallows hard. “Sir?”
“New orders.” The CC, 1010 the tattoo just below the hinge of his jaw denotes, leans in with a fierce expression. “Every CC batch is getting an ad. Do what you’re told and you won’t be decommed. Tayli’bac?”
“I don’t…” 7567’s breath hitches. He doesn’t understand what the CC is saying and he doesn’t know what it wants. “Tallyback?”
Some of the tension eases around CC-1010’s eyes. “Tayli’bac. Understand?”
“Yessir.” 7567 says, because he does now. He draws his brows together just the slightest bit and purses his lips in annoyance as he takes his last bite. “I know how to follow orders, sir.”
if ur saying George Lucas thought thru the ramifications of all of his choices... u know that ain't true lol like SW is not "good" sci-fi (it's not even "good" literature) like how does Tatooine support all that mega fauna? They 100% did shit just bcuz it looked cool and came up with a flimsy explanation later. George cared so much about ish looking cool that he remade them with CGI and made everyone buy a new VHS boxset. Since when has any SW writer cared about physics or biology or even narrative consistency? This ain't Ursula K. Le Guin lol just sayin
two arguments here, distilled over many a long hike with my wife, during which we picked apart star wars, because we're nerds:
1. yeah george lucas did a lot of shit that was ???? at best, but very rarely was it to the detriment of his own narrative, unlike much of current star wars, which contradicts and backtracks and retcons itself constantly, mostly because one writer wants to do something cool and doesn't give a shit about what's been established before. (for example, the differences between the force awakens and the last jedi, which were so wide that they pretty much schismed the sequel trilogy.)
2. Wookieepedia is compiled OBSESSIVELY by fans, for free, and is available to literally everyone with an internet connection, also for free, so I have less patience with current star wars projects that can't get the details of their own universe straight than I do for star wars in the 1970s and 1980s, when you had to, like, idk, put it all on a typewriter and get it bound at kinko's
