Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker ↳ in Star Wars: A New Hope

I love this frame right after Vader throws his lightsaber. It looks like he got trapped in his own cape and is stumbling forward.

fanfiction was such a good idea. like put those guys in situations

Blorbo.

luke talking with his mouth full, pulling a gun on the jedi grand master, and getting mad at him for eating his food like “that’s my dinner!! >:(!!” are some of my favorite luke moments forever

Oscar Isaac, Mark Hamill, and Gary Fisher

okay i swear i will be normal following this one last utterly insane observation

but "vader is unexpectedly confronted with thing from his past" being immediately followed by "the motherfucker holds it directly to his face so that he may stare at it forlornly" is, while emotional, ludicrously funny. i want to invent ways this could be a running thing. he finds rex's old helmet somehow and just bonks his face to it. finds a crashed jedi starfighter and bangs his forehead into to signify emotional distress. if he'd discovered luke was his son while luke was physically present, do you think he just would have lifted luke in the air and bumped helmet-to-forehead while luke screamed bloody murder, or is that just way too out there? genuine commentary only, please, this is a serious discussion about serious things.

Luke roared in toward Mara’s X-wing, which closed toward him, their combined speed causing the numbers on the snubfighter’s range meter to scroll too fast to read.

As they reached the point where Luke could almost see his wife’s face, a point at which most pilots would be unable to react in time to save themselves, Mara dived, flashing mere meters beneath Luke’s X-wing…and revealing the attack fighter tailing her.

The attack fighter’s pilot tried to vector out of Luke’s way. He succeeded. He didn’t succeed in dodging Luke’s lasers. Red flashes converged on the cockpit, and suddenly the fighter was a cloud of smoke and shrapnel. Luke flew through it, pieces of attack fighter fuselage bouncing off his deflectors and scraping off his hull. He emerged into blue sky on the other side.

The maneuver was called the Corellian Slip. Fighter pilot legend had it that the maneuver had been developed here, by the madmen and madwomen who flew for this system. Luke shook his head, a little saddened by the irony.

On his sensor board, he saw Mara looping around to return to his wingmate position. The latest detachment of attack fighters was down to two viable starfighters—and now, realizing the depletion of their numbers, they suddenly veered off, leaving the dogfight. Nine Jedi X-wings, increasingly battered but all still in fighting condition, remained.

sorry for complaining about star wars. i will not change.

Time-travel AU where Vader is sent some forty years back, in Gardulla's Palace, just in time to see his mother with a two years old Anakin be punished because Anakin was too loud.

Vader murdering the Hutt and all that willingly served her and Freeing the slaves without much of a plan. Shmi deciding that since the murderous Sith Lord is so protective of her, she might as well use it for good.

Vader Freeing Tatooine of slavery and spice over a mere few years and finding himself ruling the planet while being all "shit that wasn't part of the plan". He brings his idea for "peace, freedom and justice" to life which... sort of work there because people are used to dictators, but also some of his ideas *are* good.

Is it technically a dictatorship? Yes, definitely. Do the people care? No, not at all. There aren't any tax too high for them to pay, and no threat of being sold into slavery. Death by strangulation is a low risk if you just mind your business, and even then if Lady Skywalker is nearby you'll just have a good scare and maybe pee yourself as a result.

Is the Senate irate because suddenly Tatooine wants nothing to do with them and plenty find refuge there? Sure. They try to send the Jedi to do their dirty work and dispose of the dictator, but the preliminary researched showed that a majority of the population is fine with things as they are.

(The native population of Tuskens had some troubles but eventually, Vader agrees to stay out the Dune Sea, and they stop attacking settlers. Neither is too happy about that but they maintain the status quo.)

Also Tatooine now has a fleet of scrappy starfighters, but the pilots are complete nutcases.

The Jedi elect not to touch Tatooine with a ten-feet pole. A Sith Lord, you say? Sith Lords don't listen to former slaves scolding them, nor do they teach the basics of piloting to promising young pilots. Besides, the Sith are extincts. Everyone knows that.

(Chancellor Palpatine, once elected, tries to get to Tatooine again. Lord Vader has a freak-out at the sight of him, calls him "Master" in *that* tone once and Palpatine gets torn to pieces by the good people of Tatooine. Lord Vader might be a dictator, but dammit, he's *theirs*.)

um Luke when-
