i love alpha 17 but what i find funny is the "caring older brother" fanon because in the comics he's literally

A strange alien doctor stands near the unconscious body of Padme Amidala. “It appears she has lost the will to live.” A older man with a limp hobbles closer with the aid of a cane. “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” says Dr. Gregory House.

Oh, she was so proud of her Padawan - she was.

I'm still not over this game 😩

remember that one star wars comic where obi-wan tells anakin about his unhinged weapon ideas from his childhood

inspo for this shitpost

One day Luke is going to be out in the galaxy at a random dive bar, and someone is going to recognize him from Tatooine.

Not from the endless Jedi shit, not from Jabba the hut killing. They're gonna see Luke and go "Oh! That's Luke Skywalker, the best damn water vapor repair guy in the town!"

They'll get to talking about life- how Luke has this kid that he sometimes raises, how he's trying to build a safe school, how he's doing research on said school so he can do it right. He's not gonna half ass it when he's gonna have all these creatures looking up to him.

The neighbor will ask about if Luke had settled down yet. "No, but I have a family." He'll answer questions if asked but Tatooine Folk don't ask deep ones.

The neighbor will ask about flying. Luke will grin and talk about the last asteroid field he 'safely' went around. The neighbor will ask if him and Darklighter ever found one another. They both drink to the boy who lives with the stars now.

Yet it's time for the neighbor to go home. They give a small good bye and turn to head out.

Before they do they look at Luke and go "Owen and Beru would be proud of the man you became, Skywalker."

For a moment Luke looks at them, shocked. Then a smile to rival the twins sons will blaze across the Lars boys face.

The neighbor will not know the reason beyond the compliment; that this is the first person to mention Luke's family in the decade they've been dead. He's never had someone tell him this before.

girl help why is animation

yeah I hope the acolyte has similar writing to andor and has a meaningful and well executed plot instead of just fan-service eye candy- HOLY SMOKES THATS LIKE SEVEN LIGHTSABERS

A gentle reminder that Tatooine is not part of the Republic.

Jedi have no authority on Tatooine

Republic has no authority on Tatooine

Republic system didn't fail the people of Tatooine, because people of Tatooine don't live within the Republic's system

Yes, Republic is flawed, yes it's horrible a planet is controlled by gangsters. But membership in the Republic is completely voluntary. To act against rulers of another planet is an act of war. To absorb a planet without it willingly applying is not what freedom and democracy stand for.

Tatooine is messed up because of the Hutts, not because of the Republic or the Jedi.

Qui-Gon talking about Anakin not having been born in the Republic.

One way or another, they're getting a varactyl...

Everyone's always worried about the Disaster Lineage being a bad influence on the Shatterpoint, as if Kanan didn't turn into a wolf and Ezra didn't have a gunsaber. Influence goes both ways.

The best fics are the ones that recognize that although Luke Skywalker may APPEAR on the outside to be a normal friendly twink who happens to have cool powers, especially when contrasted with such ship partners as Boba or Din or even Han, he is arguably the scariest person alive in the galaxy around the prequel era. AND, crucially, he is also a fundamentally weird guy. This man was homeschooled on a rural farm his entire life and then apprenticed to a swamp gremlin who showed him how to tap into the cosmic power of the universe. He blew up the death star age 19, killing approx 2 million-ish Imperials. He is a vortex of Force power that can communicate with the ghosts of dead Jedi. He’s staring into the distance and mumbling to himself and doing Yoda aphorisms and casually pulling out the “yeah I could crush that guy into a paste with my mind (:” and nobody around him knows what to do with that. I think he is a character who has very little frame of reference for how a Jedi or a person in general is supposed to act and there is some thing about him that is by necessity really fucking weird and a little scary but he’s so nice that it can throw you off the scent a little bit. Thanks for coming to my TED talk
