I'm pretty sure it's fanon; it's not part of the Jedi Apprentice books which are what deal with Obi-Wan's childhood the most - Qui-Gon had more visions in that series than Obi-Wan did.

I have a Star Wars canon-versus-fanon question, an area that seems to have become a specialty of yours: Do you know where the portrayal of Obi-Wan being prone to visions, particularly as a child, comes from? I frequently see it in fics. I know it's not in the Clone Wars show, and I don't remember it from the movies (though I haven't seen the prequels in a long time), so now I'm wondering if it's from somewhere in Star Wars Legends or if it's fanon.

Hm... I know that in at least one canon he "remembered" a brother named Owen, that was later clarified to be visions of the future on Tatooine. I think @gffa is more likely to know the Facts on Obi-Wan's childhood abilities.

STAR WARS WEEK 2024 DAY 4: I HAVE SPOKEN - FAVOURITE QUOTE

— Matthew Stover, Revenge of the Sith Novelisation

Puppets get no second chance; pull that string, they gotta dance

Palpatine told Fives something of the truth after he made Shaak Ti and Nala Se leave the room. Of course, that was only to manipulate him. Written for Lyrical Titles Album Challenge - Song: "Taunting Cobras" - Savatage - Handful of Rain and Gen Prompt Bingo - Prompt: "Episode Tags and Missing Scenes"

I'd say Happy Star Wars Day, but the only one having a good time in this fic is Palpatine.

Fives’ vision was fuzzy, and his thoughts too. He’d been drugged, of that much he was certain. With what, he didn’t know, but it didn’t matter. He wasn’t going to spare any mental energy to trying to work it out when it was taking everything he had just to keep focus. He repeated the words under his breath, a constant reminder of everything that had happened, everything that he was working to uncover and put a stop to. He wouldn’t let the Kaminoans’ drugs prevent him from convincing the Chancellor of everything that was at stake.

He struggled against the influence of the drugs, even as his vision swam. But that was undoubtedly the Chancellor in front of Fives, so he pulled what thoughts he could together, slippery and drifting as they were, and tried to explain the conspiracy he had uncovered.

His head pounded, and even though he managed the words, he couldn’t put them together right. Not enough to convince anyone.

But the Chancellor was willing to hear him out, and maybe it would be easier without everyone there. Well, Fives would’ve preferred that General Shaak Ti stay, but he couldn’t figure out how to phrase the request respectfully enough in front of the Chancellor, who had ordered everyone out in the first place, so she left too.

And Fives was left alone, with the Chancellor, a handful of the Coruscant Guard, and the Chancellor’s own security forces.

“Sir,” he tried again, “I don’t...I don’t know if it’s a Separatist plot. But the Kaminoans are definitely hiding something, and I don’t know who else would want to...to compromise us, except the Separatists.”

“Who indeed?” Palpatine said, with a smile that seemed to Fives...off. Indulgent, perhaps, like he was only humoring him.

Jedi June 2024

A creative fandom event dedicated to appreciating the Jedi, taking place during the entire month of June! Each week will feature two prompts, around which people can create fanwork (of any kind – fic, art, cosplay, edits, anything you can think of) or meta focusing on the Jedi and the Jedi Order. All eras and continuities are welcome; OCs, established characters, doesn’t matter – it just needs to be about appreciating the Jedi!

Rules:

If you are participating, please tag your work/meta with #jedi june and/or @ this blog so that I will see it and reblog it here. All work must be your own. Feel free to crosspost it off-site.

This is an appreciation event, focusing on what we love and enjoy about the Jedi – not what we don’t. This is not the place to air your grievances with the Code, take potshots at the Council, prop certain Jedi/certain eras of Jedi up at the expense of others, or disparage the Jedi Order or their philosophy (including the concept of non-attachment) and way of life in any way. You are free to do that on your own time if that’s your thing, but it has no place within this event.

AUs and crossovers are allowed, with caveats: again, the purpose of this event is to appreciate the Jedi as Jedi, so sticking your favorite Jedi characters in something like a modern AU or making them all Sith or Mandalorian is not really within the spirit of this event. However, AUs such as making a non-Jedi character a Jedi, having a character survive their canon death, giving a character a different teacher or padawan, or killing Palpatine off-screen in an unspecified yet embarrassing and painful manner, would all be perfectly fine. Use your best judgement to determine whether an AU fits the spirit of the event or not.

Ships are allowed as long as they’re not between a child and adult, and following the above rules.

Please tag any spoilers up to two weeks after the relevant content has aired.

Following the prompts is encouraged, but not required. Any sort of pro-Jedi content is encouraged all year month long, and if tagged (and following the rules), will be reblogged.

We also have an AO3 collection!

Prompts:

Week 1 (June 2 - 8):

Prompt 1: Fun/Joy

Prompt 2: Comfort

Week 2 (June 9 - 15):

Prompt 1: Advice/Inspiration

Prompt 2: Balance

Week 3 (June 16 - 22):

Prompt 1: Art/Music

Prompt 2: Peace

Week 4 (June 23 - 29):

Prompt 1: Non-attachment/Letting go

Prompt 2: Cross-lineage mentorship

Bonus (any time):

Prompt 1: Eyes Closed/Trust in the Force

Prompt 2: Animal Friendship

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! I hope you will have fun participating!

Edge of Dawn

Padmé wakes up alone with her thoughts and her fears. Written for Gen Prompt Bingo - Prompt: "Early Morning" and StarWars100 - Prompt: "Outer Rim" and Adventuring April - Prompt: d20: 19 - "matutine"

Read on AO3

It was still dark when Padmé woke, or as dark as it ever got on Coruscant. Too early to begin preparing for the day, but too late to fall back asleep, especially with the baby restless and kicking.

That left Padmé restless herself, alone with the thoughts she could push away when surrounded by others. It had been so long since Anakin had been there when she woke up, and Padmé desperately wished for his company, for him to hold her, away from everything, away from the ever-growing threats to democracy, away from the consequences that would come when the baby was born.

But Anakin was off fighting in the besieged Outer Rim, and had been for several long months.

And, Padmé feared, would be for several long months more. She had a growing dread that he would not return in time for the birth that he did not even know to anticipate, and she would have to face it, and the aftermath, without him.

She looked to the horizon, as though her will alone would draw him out of it, back home to her. But all she saw was the brief first light of dawn, quickly hidden behind clouds.
