Part 1 < Part 2

The continuation no one asked for!

Thus Jocasta Nu becomes the youngest chief librarian in at least two millennia.

While master Yoda will miss the leniency of earlier librarians, he is in fact an old and wise Jedi grandmaster, and will be fair and true in his assessments. He can still make a face about it, sometimes, however.

Do you think will see cal and merrin in live action, I hope so! 😍

I don't know! I do know lots of people want to see a live-action adaptation of the Mantis Crew, and I've even talked about making a Jedi fan film someday 👀

At the very least, Respawn (and Cam) are protective of Cal's journey and want to finish out their trilogy before potentially handing the character off to Lucasfilm. I also recognize games are a smaller niche which prevents the larger TV/film audience from meeting Cal and Merrin.

But (to plagiarize my own Twitter post) I'd argue we love Cal Kestis and the Jedi series BECAUSE of the medium, not in spite of it. Games/animation are powerful tools for storytelling and a perfect way to explore this side of Star Wars.

Respawn is creating some of my favorite work in the industry right now: it's full of love for this thing that is "Star Wars" and I'm not sure a show or movie could tell Cal's story any better - and the risk of watering him down to fit someone else's narrative feels disheartening. The cast of the Jedi games are AMAZING and do incredible work buutttttt these characters are created by the writers and artists first, and that's often who we lose when switching mediums.

But if Lucasfilm does greenlight a live-action project, I'll think of you :)

I will not let this continue.

I think the prequels should’ve made Owen Lars Anakin’s full brother. I think we should’ve had gruff 19/20 year old completely Force-null Owen in TPM and make the audience assume for a moment that that’s young Darth Vader, but nope, it’s the tiny blond Yippee boy who’s playing with droids.

I want to play with old Ben’s line about Uncle Owen in ANH “He thought (Anakin) should’ve stayed here, not gotten involved (in the clone wars)” as Owen urging Anakin to quit the Order in AOTC because a war is brewing in the Republic, telling him their mother sent Anakin away to be safe, and would never approve of him becoming a soldier.

Then Uncle Owen in OWK with that same dismissive attitude towards Obi-Wan but this time it’s not just protectiveness of Luke but also because he blames the Jedi for corrupting his little brother

[jedi-order-apologist]

Why wasn't the first one Tales of the Republic if the next one is Tales of the Empire? Seems like a mismatch to me. Tales of the Sith is the more direct foil, or Tales of the Inquisitors, maybe.

2nd STARWARS/DAEMON AU POST!!!!! This time with the CC's and the Disaster Lineage!

Obi-Wan: Maned Wolf (Kee-Ayt)

Anakin: Lion (maned female lioness) (Asieko)

Ahsoka: Gryfalcon (Tuex)

Cody: German Shepherd (Beskar)

Rex: Siberian Husky (Queen)

Wolffe: Wolfdog (Whitefang)

Fox: Doberman Pinscher (Vulpe)

Bly: American Akita (Lyra)

LORE TIME: first off! Jedi! So I thought a lot about how daemons and Jedi should work. I did end up deciding that Jedi GENERALLY have bird daemons (like the witches in His Dark Material), BUT not always. The Jedi having bird daemons is not a ‘All Force Sensitives Have Daemons Who Settle As Birds’ thing. It wouldn’t make sense in this AU since Force-sensitivity is a spectrum and at what level would someone have ‘enough’ force-sensitivity to have a daemon for certain become a bird? I didn’t like that narrative as much, it felt restrictive. So instead Jedi tend to have bird daemons, but not Force-Sensitives. Like all Jedi are force sensitive ( and have bird daemons) but not all Force-Sensitives are Jedi, make sense? This is because of how the Jedi raise children and teach them to interact with the force. Because of how Jedi are taught to view and use the force, their daemons tend to settle as birds! It’s ‘nurture’ over ‘nature’ thing. Which is why (in this AU at least) the Jedi don’t take in older children to train. Because they’ve already probably learned their own way to interact with the force (different from the Jedi teachings) and therefore will have a non-bird daemon! Hence Anakin having a lion daemon. “But what about Obi-Wan?��� (Well since Obi-Wan is one of my favorites I get to spice him up lol). He was originally very Jedi like (daemon wise) but after the whole Jedi Apprentice/Xanantos enslaving him/Melida-Daan war thing, he daemon ended up settling as a Maned Wolf! I imagine he was just about the age where his daemon would settle (usually 13-15, which is the same reason this is the age Jedi initiates are made padawans), so it was a surprise that his daemon so abruptly changed and settled. Most likely the effects of being so abruptly exposed to violence and war right out of being only use to the peace of the Jedi temple his whole life. 

(Extra) The 3rd page of the post! Cody and Obi-Wan’s daemons! Beskar and Kee-Ayt! Even though in my doodles Beskar seems to be very grumpy and even hatful towards Kee-Ayt, DO NOT BE FOOLED. Beskar adores Kee-Ayt. Their relationship just mirrors how I headcanon Cody’s and Obi-Wan’s. Where they will harass and bitch at each other to hell and back. Sounding from the outsider’s POV like two people who hate each other. When in reality these two are joined at the hip and love each other. They just will never admit it because “we have reputations to uphold!’ (Anakin says “what reputation? the reputation that one of you would murder the other if it wasn’t for the fact the GAR would court marshal the other?”) But yeah, Beskar makes fun of Kee-Ayt’s long ass legs. The mini ‘comic’ is about how I imagine that since all the Clones’ daemons are dogs/canines, when they win a battles they have a ‘Victory Call’ where they all howl. Beskar offers for Kee-Ayt to join in, but Maned Wolves can’t howl. They do this thing called a Roar-Bark (look up a video it’s so loud). This is the first time Beskar hears Kee-Ayt roar-bark and it scared the shit out of her.

(Extra Extra) The 4th page of the post! This is mostly doodles of Rex, Anakin and Ashoka’s daemons (Queen, Asieko and Tuex). All three reflect the close relationship that Rex, Anakin and Ahsoka have. Hence Tuex nesting on Queen and Asieko trying to groom Queen (who doesn’t appreciate the rough lion tongue bath she’s getting). (In fact Asieko tries to groom Tuex and Kee-Ayt too, but Tuex is too small and Kee-Ayt just starts biting Asieko bcs she doesn’t appreciate the bath either lol). We also have Tuex dive bombing Asieko (a common occurrence whenever Anakin and Ahsoka bicker). Tuex also does this to literally anyone who slightly annoys him or Ahsoka. And lastly the little doodle of Rex and Queen screaming! Idk if you’ve ever seen videos of Huskies, but oh boy are they loud and dramatic. I think with all the stress and insanity Rex has to deal with leading the 501st, he and Queen often have therapy screaming sessions. They deserve to. 

(ALSO, I will be making follow up reblogs with lore/plot stuff for each individual character)

Mind Trick

cw:hypnosis,arousal

You and your friend are sitting on their couch, watching TV and unwinding after a very tiring day. You've both had a ton of work to worry about, and they think the best remedy for that exhaustion is to destress on the couch for a bit, then try out the trigger they gave you the previous day.

It was a Jedi Mind Trick suggestion, one that makes you mindlessly agree with them any time they wave their hand front of your face. You thought it was a very nerdy thing to use during a hypnosis session, but you'd be lying if you said you weren't curious of its effects.

You wanted to chill out for a bit, but there had to be a better way to do that. The TV was very boring. It was that dumb cooking show your friend always watches. You couldn't stand it, it was like watching paint dry.

"Can you please change the channel? You know how much I hate this show" , you asked, in a tired, grumpy tone.

They waved their hand.

"But you love this show, hun, you always have!"

Your previous opinion began to fade from your head, swiped away by the hand authoritavely swaying in front of you.

That.. that was true. It had always been that way. What were you complaining about? You loved to watch cooking shows! They offered a very relaxing, and informative experience, and suddenly it became impossible to take your eyes off the screen.

You continued watching with your friend for a while, excited with your newfound knowledge of how to prepare Steak au Poivre. It wasn't until both of you spent a little time relaxing your muscles that they suggested doing something else.

"Hm, I've chilled out enough. I'm in the mood for something.. diferent. Are you horny, dear?" They looked at you as they quizzed you on your arousal.

On one hand, you were a bit aroused, and it was the perfect way to destress. But on the other, you were pretty tired, and it was much easier to sit and watch the show. You needed a push, if your friend wanted this very lazy evening to end differently.

They waved their hand.

"You're incredibly aroused"

This time, you repeated their words, doing so without resistance. "I'm incredibly aroused" , you replied, the mindless tone of your voice quickly erasing your previous opinions.

That.. that was true. It had always been like that. Your tired expression morphed from sleepy to unfathomably horny. The thoughts that occupied your mind changed, from ones of curling up on the couch to sexual fantasies of your tist. Your mind grew aroused.

You began to absent-mindedly touch yourself. Nothing major, of course, but just enough to keep yourself worked up. Your friend watched your sudden shift in personality, content with how easy it was to make you agree with them.

They waved their hand.

"Your mind is extremely fuzzy"

"My mmind... fuzzy...", you replied, not even a tiny ammount of hesitation in your voice.

That was true. Your mind could barely keep a coherent thought inside your head. You began to drool your thoughts away as you touched yourself, the only noises escaping your mouth being giggles and moans. You were too dizzy to care about not being understood.

They waved their hand.

"You are really needy. You need me to tell you what to do. What to think."

"N..needyyy....", your voice trailed off, unable to repeat anymore.

That was true. You got closer to them, still touching yourself as you looked into their eyes. Your moans turned into a chorus of needy words, your mind looping the same fantasies of being blanked by your dear pal. You were begging. You had to beg.

"Pleaseee uusee meee,, nneed uu to tell me whhat ddoo.. wahhat too thinkk.. pleasepleasepleasepleaseepleasee"

"Aww, good toy!", your tist responded, a smile forming on their face as they watched your pretty head break from the pleasure.

They waved their hand.

"You're blank."

That was true. You were blank. Your mind suddenly stopped, no longer thinking anything. You froze in place, awaiting commands. You needed to be told what to do. What to think. And your tist had some great ideas~

"I am blank.", you mindlessly replied.

And just like that, with a few waves of a hand, you were gone.

Hi! I think you've mentioned finding canon!Obi-Wan a fascinating character and that a lot of people miss a lot of stuff about him, can you expand on what your favourite parts of his character are or what you like to explore in him?

Tbh 'fascinating' is probably vastly overstating things - he's never going to be my favorite, but I like the canon version of him a lot more than the fanon version that's so common. I also definitely think people...mh. Flanderize isn't quite the right word, since it's not just his canon traits that get exaggerated, but. woobified, basically. Fandom very clearly tries to fit him into a certain mold, and I just personally don't think it really fits.

To me, Obi-Wan is sharp and fairly aggressive once he's encountered something/someone in his way. He's stubborn and a bastard and competitive, and he fits in just as well with Bane and the rest of the bounty hunters in that arc as he does with the other members of the Jedi Council. He's also self-assured and humble but not in any way shy or retiring. He can be very grumpy when things don't go his way, and he's snarky, almost cutting, even with allies. He's ruthless when it's necessary, and overprotective of the people around him, and he has a tendency to be morose and pessimistic when things go wrong, though he always keeps going anyway. He thinks he knows how people are going to act and can be too set in his beliefs about others, and he's kind but he's not exactly gentle.

Just - I think he's so much more interesting than a lot of fandom gives him credit for. And I am aware that fandom tends to make complex characters more one-dimensional, but god, Obi-Wan gets it so bad.

Also, if I hear one more person call him a twink I'm going to end up on the news.

my two favorite people – pedro pascal.

requested! thank you. ♡ content: Pedro Pascal x wife!actress!reader, Bella Ramsey + reader friendship, set life, cozy/cute behind-the-scenes moment, supportive trio energy, soft Pedro being husband goals.

---

It was raining on set. Not a pretty rain — an annoying, misty, bone-chilling kind that made everything damp and muddy and grumpy. You were standing beside video village in a coat three sizes too big, hood up, arms crossed, trying to keep your teeth from chattering between takes.

Pedro spotted you first.

“Oh no,” he said under his breath, handing off his prop rifle before crossing the set. “You’ve got your cold face on.”

“I’m fine,” you said through a tight-lipped smile. “Just—British rain is different.”

He cupped your face with warm, gloved hands. “You’re freezing.”

“I told you this shoot was cursed,” Bella said, materializing beside you like a chaos goblin. “I said it the second we got out of the van. Look at her. She’s suffering.”

“I’m not suffering,” you protested.

“She’s suffering,” Pedro confirmed, dramatically wrapping his arms around you from behind and pulling you into his chest. “Emergency snuggle protocol activated.”

Bella snorted. “That coat makes you look like a sexy bag of laundry.”

“I take that as a compliment,” you muttered into Pedro’s scarf.

Pedro kissed the side of your head, rubbing your arms. “Want me to bring you tea?”

“No, I want this weather deleted.”

“I’ll talk to the director. Maybe I can do a scene where Joel builds a dome around the Earth.”

Bella grinned. “Make it canon.”

---

Later, the three of you sat under a heater during a break — you in Pedro’s lap, Bella wrapped in a blanket like a cursed Jedi.

“I think we should all just move into a big house together after this,” Bella said, sipping cocoa. “You two can be domestic and annoyingly in love, and I’ll just exist in your kitchen like a raccoon roommate.”

Pedro raised his mug. “Deal.”

You smiled, sleepily nestled into your husband’s neck. “Only if you take the guest room and not our bed this time.”

Bella: 👀

Pedro: 😳

You: 😌

“Uncalled for,” Pedro muttered, but kissed you anyway.

Bella rolled her eyes. “God, I’m surrounded by love. Disgusting.”

But she was smiling.

A Lasat, a grumpy droid, a smuggler, and -deep breath- Darth Vader's son, Darth Vader's daughter, Darth Vader's droid, the droid Darth Vader built, a Wookiee who saved Darth Vader's padawan, Darth Vader's master, Darth Vader's grandmaster, Darth Vader's padawan, Darth Vader's wife, Darth Vader's favorite clone captain, a Jedi who fought Darth Vader, a rebel pilot whose father fought alongside Darth Vader's master, a Mandalorian whose mother fought alongside Darth Vader's padawan, a padawan who fought Darth Vader and met Darth Vader's master on Darth Vader's home planet, Darth Vader's padawan again, Darth Vader before he was Darth Vader, and Darth Vader 🤣🤣🤣

✨ The Mysterious Holographer! 😎🤌🤌

Alpha-17 is a dangerous man! 👀 If his mission is taking the best holopics, he‘ll succeed 🫡 Nobody is safe, no excuses! 😳 He even got the latest awesome shit holopad from GAR goods!

The reason why he’s the man to succeed this challenging mission, because he’s most likely the only one of the GAR that is actually able to force convince superiors like the grumpy Marshal Commander Fox and growling Commander Wolffe into a Commander Squad group holopic despite them being gothic styled! 😎✨

The conspiracy around the Mysterious Holographer is revealing now and you‘ll find a little gift and the reason for this collab under the gallery of Alpha‘s so far holoshots! 👀

✨ Holoframed conspiracy artworks

A neat gallery scroll with links to the original post and artist’s tags 😎 Also featuring the shiny CT-9075 and Alpha-17 as narrators in the ALT-texts 📖

Being the best of the best of the best (and having more fun than he would ever admit) means also that Alpha-17 uses the holopad like his weapons – fast and unerring! 🎯 He takes snapshots in the very moment when needed and will absolutely indulge the most fun and silly ones in the quiet of his office after the GAR Goth Night!

The following link leads to a shared Google file with a free-to-use transparent holopic frame artwork in DIN A4 size and neat printable quality (300 ppi), that I drew based on the design of the group holopic of Cody, Rex and the Domino Twins! 🤩🫶 I‘d love to be tagged, but no pressure – it’s a gift 💝

The reason for all of this 🥰

Marshal Commander Fox at the GAR Goth Night by @ghostymarni

The reason for this conspiracy is the person who started GAR Goth Night: Marni 👏🎉

She casually dropped this goth Commander Fox and didn't realise we'd go completely crazy over him and the concept of a goth-themed GAR event.

When more and more clones and OCs started to join in, none of us could have imagined how popular the night would get! We wanted to add some more mystery and gothspiracy to add some plot to the night, to show our appreciation to Marni, for her amazing ability to design and gothify anything Star Wars related! 🖤✨🌹⛓️🦇✨

Marni, thank you for hyping us up and getting this off the ground! 🤩 This wouldn't have been possible without you! This one's for you! 🫶

[its-a-full-galaxy]

"And leave you to cut your way in with your light saber?" Darius asked as the Jedi tumble in, palming the door closed behind him. "No, I like my ship in one piece, thanks."

He shook his head and rested a hand on his belt. What was it with Jedi and just dropping in whenever they felt like it? Did his buir have this problem in the early days?

He tapped a panel on his bracer, checking the feed from his ship's sensors and looked at Kenobi. He didn't quite have a good sense of the area yet, the clones looking like storm troopers and the droids being foreign to him and all. Still, he wanted to keep an eye on things just in case someone decided to pull something.

"You're lucky my buir was fond of jedi," he muttered, locking the ship door as a precaution. "But if you've brought trouble to my door, General, I'm throwing you out to deal with it. I'm not doing proxy work unless I'm paid."

With a huff and shake of his head, the Mando made his way back to down the slim passage between the back entrance and the cockpit, a few doors to either side sporting a set of small rooms for rest and storage. He paused and looked back at the jedi. "What were you running from anyway?"

@its-a-full-galaxy cont. pspsps

"Oh, stars. I can't believe you actually opened the door." And without a gun, no less! Truly the most baffling Mandalorian he'd ever met; perhaps his clan never told him he wasn't supposed to trust Jedi (Obi-Wan didn't feel he'd done anything to prove he was particularly trustworthy).

"Most people barricade it when they hear my voice," he barged in with all the grace someone could have while inviting themselves inside another person's ship. Obi-Wan loathed the impoliteness of dropping by unexpected—made even worse by his urgency and the even worse guests Darius would have should he have been spotted—and he most certainly owed the man a gift. Or just a healthy bribe.

"But no worries!" The words were spoken between heavy breaths, his lungs still recovering from what appeared to be either a very intense run or a very prolonged panic attack. "I haven't brought any seppies to your door, I'm not that cruel."

[ririright]

Could you possibly do Hayden x younger and very short reader?

❤︎ Height Differences and Playful Teasing

He constantly uses you as an armrest, leaning on your head with a smug grin.

“Comfortable down there, sweetheart?”

He loves picking you up effortlessly, especially when you try to reach something on a high shelf.

“Need a lift, tiny?”

❤︎ Always Bending Down for Kisses

He leans down to kiss you, wrapping an arm around your waist to pull you up on your toes.

If you try to pout, he’ll dramatically bend even lower. “This better?”

❤︎ Picks You Up Like You Weigh Nothing

Will casually scoop you up and carry you to bed when you fall asleep on the couch.

Sometimes he carries you over his shoulder, just to hear you squeal.

❤︎ Teases You About Your Baby Face

“You’re gonna get carded at the movies again, aren’t you?”

Always has to insist you’re his wife because people think you’re younger than you are.

Loves gently cupping your cheeks, grinning.

“I get the prettiest baby face wife in the world.”

❤︎ A Little Jealous of Other Young Guys

He’s confident, but if he catches some younger guy looking at you, he’ll immediately pull you close.

“You good, sweetheart? Or should I remind you who’s the lucky guy here?”

Sometimes, he’ll smirk and lean down to kiss you in front of them.

❤︎ He’s Always Trying to Teach You Things (And Secretly Loves It)

Whether it’s showing you how to use the Bobcat or teaching you to wield a lightsaber, he’s your favorite teacher.

He loves watching you focus, the way your eyes light up when you get it right.

“Look at you, my little Jedi in training.”

❤︎ Wraps You Up in Bear Hugs

Loves engulfing you in his arms, pressing his face against your hair.

If you ever feel upset, he’ll just pick you up and sit you on his lap, holding you close.

When you two watch movies, he pulls you against his chest, basically using himself as a blanket.

❤︎ Gets a Kick Out of Your Feisty Side

If you try to stand on your tiptoes and poke his chest during an argument, he’ll just smile.

“You’re adorable when you’re all worked up.”

Sometimes you’ll try to be sassy, and he’ll just lean down,

“You wanna say that again, shorty?”

❤︎ Always Puts You First (Even When You Argue)

If you’re mad at him, he’ll lean down, trying to catch your eye with a teasing grin.

“C’mon, short stuff, don’t be mad. I’ll make it up to you.”

He’s quick to apologize, pulling you into his arms even when you’re trying to stay grumpy.

❤︎ Loves Showing Off His Strength for You

Carries heavy bags with ease, glancing over just to make sure you’re impressed.

Will show off by lifting you up without warning, making you squeal.

If you try to out-stubborn him with something, he’ll just pick you up and carry you off.

“We’ll talk when you calm down, babe.”

❤︎ Knows You Use Your Size to Your Advantage

If you want cuddles, you’ll just snuggle into his chest, and he melts.

You’ll hide behind him in crowds or if something scares you, and he always turns protective.

Loves it when you try to be sneaky, like stealing snacks—“Oh, where’s my cookie? Must be a tiny thief in the house.”

❤︎ Secretly Loves Feeling Like the “Older Guy”

Will sometimes make fun of his “old man” habits, like needing his reading glasses or saying his back hurts.

Loves when you tell him he’s handsome, like he’s still got it.

“You think I’m a silver fox already, sweetheart?” (He’s not even graying yet.)

❤︎ Calls You Sweet Nicknames

“Shortcake,” “Peanut,” “Tiny Dancer.”

If you’re mad, he’ll go overboard.

“Oh, don’t be mad, little firecracker.”

Loves how small your hands look in his and will hold them up to his just to tease.

❤︎ Gets a Bit Insecure About the Age Gap

If you bring up something you love from your childhood that he doesn’t know, he’ll joke, “Guess I’m ancient, huh?”

You’ll catch him checking himself out in the mirror, and he’ll give you a sheepish smile.

“You’re not gonna trade me in for a younger model, are you?” (He’s only half-joking.)

But You Always Reassure Him

Whenever you tell him he’s hot or touch his chest, he gets that smug, boyish grin.

“Yeah? Still got it?”

When you cuddle against him, he feels like the luckiest man alive, your head against his chest, his arms wrapped around you.
