Star Wars Characters and Their Go-To Insults

Luke, to Yoda and Ben after learning they lied to him: I am more disappointed in you than I am in the creator of the unsalted pretzel.

Leia, to Han before ESB: I only take you everywhere with me so I don't have to kiss your ugly ass goodbye.

Han, to Leia: I'll never forget the time we met. I'll also never stop trying.

Vader: I do not consider you a vulture. I consider you something a vulture would eat.

Padme, to Vaderkin from the dead: Our kids must've gotten their brain from you. Obviously, I still have mine!

Veers, meeting any and every rebel: Your face is fine but we simply must put a bag over that personality.

Piett: *too tired/busy/desperate to not be Force Choked to insult* *sips caf/tea and gives the Annoyed Admiral Expression*

Luke, talking to Vader: “Please do not force-choke my boyfriend; he has a fragile organic windpipe.”

“Please do not slam-dunk my boyfriend; he has fragile organic bones.”

Imperial Family Drama

as we all know, Star Wars is basically just the Skywalkers messing up the galaxy with their family drama

we all know that Skywalker Stories ™ are infamous throughout the galaxy, whether they’re talking about Luke’s near-death tendencies, or Vader’s dramatic flare, or Leia’s fear-inducing stature

but a lesser known fact is that the Veers family is JUST AS BAD

General Veers (yes, the imperial general that killed a thousand rebels on Hoth, do keep up) has a rebel son. His wife died when he was working and he couldn’t stop it, and likely blames himself for her death. Because of this, he grew even more faithful to the Empire, though he loathed nepotism and many of the officers around him (except Piett, because that poor man is just exhaustion and stress personified)

On the Wookieepedia page, it says that his son, Zev, is his eldest born child. So I thought, gee, I wonder who the younger one was. Then, of course, I came up with this

Eliana ‘Ellie’ Veers, named after her mother, is a lesbian coffee monger with zero patience and no fucks to give. When alone in a room with her Imperial father and Rebel brother, she would most likely slap the two over the head and demand they get their acts together because she wants them to meet her girlfriend and poor Mara has NO NEED to listen to their annoying family drama

At the same time, though, she’s kind of the glue keeping her family together

She secretly talks to Zev when their father isn’t around, and will always listen to what he has to say. She knows where all the rebel bases are, and is aware of every bit of drama and gossip between the rebels. Vader was never able to track down Skywalker, but she could do it in a minute if she bothered to put her mind to it

That being said

She’s an Imperial

She thinks that some of the concepts and things surrounding the empire (slavery, inequality, etc) are awful, but believes that if made right, the Empire could bring peace to the galaxy. She’s not too politically active, and isn’t nearly as fear-inducing as Leia, but she Will Slap A Bitch if they hurt her family and friends

So the Veers family is like the Skywalkers, but without space magic

And don’t even get me STARTED on Piett’s family

Admiral Piett’s family is pretty much never spoken about in the Star Wars fandom, and because of this, my sick demented mind has come up with a few glorious headcanons: firstly, he has a sister who lives on Axxila and basically is like… not falling for his Nonsense

“I don’t care about your little ‘job’, Firmus, tell your idiot boss that if he chokes you, he’ll have me to answer to. I must give thanks where they are due, after all.” “Awfully rude of you to assume I have time for your self-destructive tendencies, brother dear. Go to bed, please, it’s far too late for you to test my patience.” “Do keep your little Imperial views to yourself, darling, some of us are above that.”

And his sister has three children. One daughter (Kaylinea Firma Piett, 27 years old) and two twin sons (Drafan and Jafan Piett, 8 years old)

Piett both loathes and loves being around said children, because when Skywalker is mentioned to Kaylinea, the girl merely shrugs and says, ‘I would hit that.’ Needless to say, he’s quite thankful that Lord Vader has never met his family

and that’s not all

His nephews are O B S E S S E D with Luke Skywalker

OBSESSED

They have toy X-Wings

They play Jedi

They made themselves mini lightsabers

It’s adorable

But quite frankly

If he gets ONE MORE EMAIL from his darling nephews asking if he’d just catch Skywalker already so they could meet him, his head might explode.

It’s bad enough to have Vader pressuring him

And the entire Imperial Navy following his lead

He didn’t want or need a couple wide eyed identical eight year olds begging if they could meet a g-ddamn terrorist

No thank you!

But of course, when there’s a spy on the Executor, Lord Vader has to personally go through every. single. email. account.

So Darth Vader

The second in command of the kriffing galaxy

Reads Piett’s emails to his nephews explaining why idolizing terrorists is a Bit Not Good

Between worrying for the (nonexistent) safety of his job and the thought that his 8 year old nephews could now, technically, be considered rebel sympathizers, Piett marvels at the fact that reading his nephews’ emails seemed to cheer Vader up

So while Piett was having a mental breakdown

Vader was enjoying the fact that Luke wasn’t even acknowledged as an Imperial Prince and there were children idolizing him

And Veers

ah. Veers!

Veers was sitting in the corner, laughing his goddamn head off because thank the GODS his children weren’t involved with Skywalker in any regard

(They were. Zev and Luke were very close friends {or more, wink wink nudge nudge} and Ellie had met Luke once, too, when she rendezvoused with her brother on her birthday. Ellie had a selfie with Luke, and he even let her swish his lightsaber around.)

The Rebellion’s Grandma

Okay so

What if there was this one rebel

She’s an old, old lady

And sweet, but also mega badass

And she’s like... everyone’s friend

No one knows her name, and she doesn’t tell anyone, so people just call her the Grandma

She makes people sweaters for Christmas, and she’s basically the Molly Weasley of the Rebel Alliance

She also organizes parties for Halloween, lights a menorah for Hanukkah, and basically caters to any and all religions/belief systems/cultures of the rebels she knows

She’s incredibly old, but believes that everyone is equal—aliens, Wookiee’s, women, members of the LGBTQ+ community

So everyone likes her, because she’s known for being inclusive and kind

When the rebels are on Hoth, she gets a ton of wool from the tauntauns and just makes a million pairs of socks, because all the rebels value socks more than anything else

When you’re in the trenches, or if you get snow in your shoes, or anything like that

You could legit get frostbite and lose limbs

This happened to many rebels in the first few weeks of their inhabitance of Hoth, so Grandma went All In on the sock knitting

Everyone in the rebellion knows that she’s the reason moral is so high

Once an imperial tried to capture her

It did not go well

Now everyone in the Empire knows to Not Mess (TM) with the Grandma (even ‘Iron Max’, aka, General Veers, is terrified of her [but also hopeful that she’s there for his son, too, because Zevulon Veers is a rebel and Veers Sr. doesn’t even know if he’s alive, so if the Grandma is how everyone says she is, Veers hopes she’s helping his child too)

But everyone’s scared of her because she somehow beat the Imperial that attacked within an inch of his life with her cane, even though she’s older than Yoda

The Imperial was shaking afterwards, and reported that the woman was “vehemently reprimanding him for interrupting her cookie-baking” as she defended herself

A lot of rebels (Zevulon Veers, Ahsoka Tano, Luke Skywalker) who don’t have parental figures in their lives go to her

Because she always supports them, even when they’re wrong

And she knows EVERYTHING about EVERYONE because people always go to her to talk because she’s also like... the rebel therapist

She’s super zen and knits and bakes to keep herself calm and collected

She has infamous fruit filled cookies

Sometimes she puts booze in her snacks because she knows what Her Grandchildren need

And because she knows everything

She’s the first person Luke Skywalker turns to when he finds out about Vader

And so she makes him a blue sweater and a pair of gloves that year for his birthday

The sweater has the words “You Are Enough” stitched brightly on the outside

On the inner lining (she made it with double layers, because she knows Luke gets cold in space) it’s written ‘Sithspawn? So what?’

Luke wears it all the time and takes the gloves everywhere with him

Because even if his father is a Sith, even if he might never love Luke the way he deserves to be loved, even if he might have to kill his own father

He has a bomb ass Grandma in his corner

And the thing is

This is true for literally every rebel

The rebels with imperial parents

The rebels who were orphaned because of the Empire

The rebels who have supportive families, but can’t see them because of they’re half a galaxy apart

Every single rebel loves the Grandma

And eventually, Rogue Squadron wonders if there’s a Grandma for the Imperials

So they do some digging

And then they figure out that the Imperials don’t have a Grandma

So

In true rebel fashion

They gossip the hell out of that information and start ANOTHER movement

The Give Imps a Grandma Association. Aka, G.I.G.A.

(Wes Janson was the founder)

The associations catchphrase was “Because even Imperials deserve Grandma.”

And then, the interviews start

Luke Skywalker, Wedge Antilles, Han Solo, Wes Janson, and Hobbie Klivian interview each candidate vigorously, and take samples of their sewing skills and fruit filled cookies

High Command funds it, because who are they to tell Luke Skywalker (the kid that just got his HAND CHOPPED OFF for their cause) no

And so the interviews continue

And eventually they give up

Because no one is more grandma than the Grandma

So eventually they decide that they can send Imperials gifts from the Grandma, since they can’t give her up themselves

Admiral Piett gets an olive green sweater that says “Stressed but Blessed” in white cursive letters, and a matching green tea cozy

Vader gets a black knitted cape (and a small blue, left-hand glove that didn’t make sense to him at first, but when he finds a holopic of Luke in a blue sweater and glove over his right hand, it makes sense and makes him wonder at the same time)

General Veers also gets a sweater, but it’s a deep purple color with grey designs along the cuffs (grey and purple and Denons national colors [in my brain, at least])

Every single stormtrooper gets a blanket in their favorite colors, and a personalized note bundled up inside

The Imperials were in turmoil

They didn’t know who had made everything, just that they showed up in front of everyone’s quarters two days ago

Admiral Piett was worried they were contaminated

Oddly enough, it was General Veers who made everyone keep their gifts

It had made his troops happy, had boosted morale, and General Veers would never hesitate to be an advocate for his soldiers’ needs

So everyone kept the gifts

Every now and then, officers would catch a glimpse of blue fabric poking out of Vader’s belt compartment

if you went to fetch General Veers from his quarters, you would find the man resting in his purple sweater

Piett would frequently sip tea from a cup shrouded in a green knit tea cozy

They loved their gifts

But still, no one knew how they had gotten onto the Executor

Not even the Rebels knew

‘It had to have been the powers of the Grandma,’ they would decode years later

Because there was no power in the universe, not even the Force, that outweighed the power of the Grandma

Luke's Introduction to Any Imperial Ever

Vader: I know that a lot of you are very angry at Luke because he destroyed the Death Star and is a rebel

Vader: However

Vader: If any of you hurts him in any way emotionally

Vader: Or taunts him

Vader: Or makes fun of his height or his hopeless love for the Light Side--

Luke: Uh... okay! Thanks, Father.

Things Not To Think About

-Anakin Skywalker before he REALLY became Vader, struggling to cope with the suit

-Not knowing how to speak to make people take him seriously

-Slowly beginning to hate the galaxy more and more because he felt so powerless under Palpatine’s reign

-Feeling like a slave

-Having panic attacks and/or PTSD in front of his troops when he feels seriously taken advantage of

-The stormtroopers not knowing how to handle it and calling him crazy when he’s having a breakdown (they are NOT his old troopers, this isn’t the REAL 501st squadron, he needs Rex and Cody and he CAN’T--)

-Him forcechoking them because of it

-Slowly making a habit of it

-Realizing that it was impossible to have any allies in the galaxy

-Seeing Ahsoka and just HURTING because WHY WEREN’T YOU THERE, I NEEDED YOU AND YOU WEREN’T THERE, I WOULDN’T BE IN THE SUIT IF IT WASN’T FOR YOU, YOU COULD’VE STOPPED ME, WHY DID YOU LEAVE

-Then meeting Firmus Piett, aka the Admiral, who ended up being the closest thing he had to an ally/trusted worker

-Piett being his best worker, Vader trusting him, Piett even trusting Vader, even though he’s a Super Scary Sith, he’s a good leader, and Piett would follow him through an asteroid field

-But even Piett failed him, when they couldn’t get Luke at Bespin, and he was so overwhelmed with self-hatred after cutting his son’s--his SON’S--hand off and so overwhelmed with disappointment after being rejected by the ONE person who could ever possibly love him again that all he could do was walk away

-How walking away and not choking the Admiral ultimately started him back down the path towards the light side, because even though he was hurting, he forgave the Admiral for his failures, something he had never done before

-How at some point during the fight with Palpatine on the second Death Star he felt all of his troops, including Piett, die on the Executor when it crashed

-How that, combined with the thought of his son in pain made him realize what he had to do

-Seeing Piett and all those he hurt and scared in the afterlife and apologizing

-Piett being a good man and accepting it, but never truly forgiving Vader for forcing him to watch Ozzel die, to watch Needa die, to watch the some of the crew of the Executor die in the asteroid field

-Realizing it was all because of Luke

-That Vader killed people and allowed his crew to die because of family drama

-Piett, the only person Vader nearly considered an ally throughout his adult life, not being able to cope being around the Sith because of everything

-The hurt and angst surrounding their near-friendship

-Piett practically hating Luke, Vader sensing it, and understanding it, but loathing it and hating Piett because of it

-The relationships and friendships Vader had in his past life still being super shaky and not secure

-Vader wishing he had someone, anyone, that could be there for him

-Padme forgave, but didn’t forget. The Jedi still think he’s dark. Obi-Wan understanding, but still not being what he needed

-Vader being entirely alone, in life and in death, because of the manipulations and anger of Darth Sidious

Me, an introvert: online friends???? FRIENDS?????

Having friends on tumblr is really great. I often refer to you guys in real life as “my friend from england/autralia/california/new york” and it makes people think I’m very well traveled when really I’ve just spent a lot of time on the Internet.

Luke, walking into his house: hello, people who don’t live here.

Anakin: in our defense...

Yoda: out of Doritos, we were

I need a ‘what we do in the shadows’ style mockumentary of the force ghosts all crashing in Luke’s apartment.

Highlights include

Anakin binge watching soap operas while eating ice-cream and yelling at the screen

Qui-Gon trying to introduce kale into the house

Obi-wan and Anakin still having the argument about Cato Neimoidia (along with many other arguments)

Luke coming out to his family, there are hugs and the next day Anakin is walking around with an ‘I love my gay son’ t-shirt and buys a giant rainbow flag (Luke acts embarrassed but loves it really)

Obi-Wan making a chores chart, which no one follows

There are family meetings, where nothing really ends up being solved
