Young Jedi are probably briefed on force scepticism before they go out into the world but it wouldn’t surprise me if clone education didn’t bother to cover that. They learn about force abilities as a fact of life, get deployed and witness it from the jedi command, and then at some point maybe step into a bar somewhere and meet some civilian who swears up and down that the force is a myth and jedi are frauds. Like meeting a flat-earther when you never knew there was such a thing

Just another Tuesday on Coruscant I guess

[lightsaber-dorphin]

Got tired of how she is treated by the fandom, so I stopped everything to draw her.

[lightsaber-dorphin]

I think that in pursuit of the "Ahsoka is going to time travel to fuck your dad" gag I pull in Mando stuff, I need to do an Ahsoka/Jaster tt fic

I need her to be Jango's step-mom. Or adoptive mom.

Depends on if she gets Jaster's attention before or after he adopts Jango lmao

Just thinking about if the Specters had found Grogu.

Something very cool to me about Star Wars that’s also a complete accident is the way space in the OT feels so much darker and emptier than in the prequels. Obviously it’s just a result of Lucas getting the green light to do whatever he wanted and sacrificing structure for tons of world building, but it does really make the prequels feel more full of life than the OT.

You see Tatooine and Naboo and Coruscant in the prequels, Kamino and Geonosis and Utapau and Mustafar. Obi-Wan and Anakin throw out random names of planets three times a movie, coupled with a quip about something that happened there. There’s a whole, thriving galaxy out there that feels immediate because the characters know it, because they’ve been there and they remember it. And then… the OT. Luke has never left Tatooine. When he does, the first planet he sees is a smoking ruin. Dantooine, that Leia mentions, is abandoned. Han hasn’t touched his home planet of Corellia in years. Hoth is hidden and desolate. Dagobah is home only to one person. Bespin is out of the way, and also the only place Han, Leia, and Chewie have to go. The galaxy is cut off in the OT—darker and emptier. And it’s a total accident, but… it works anyways. The Empire has risen. The galaxy is splintered. Everyone is alone.

you know what though…Vader had no implicit reason to dislike the remaining clones in the galaxy, unlike a lot of the rest of the empire. in his mind, they were still his men. they helped him rid the galaxy of the Jedi (in his twisted mind he was ok with it being against their will as long as it served his, which is 😬) but imagine…

When Vader goes back for the 501st after the events of order 66 and revenge of the sith, Rex is absolutely no where to be found. He never returns from his mission on Mandalore. Neither does ahsoka.

We see at the end of the clone wars that Vader must’ve conducted some kind of search for them. That’s why he turns up on the moon where their ship crashed. In Ahsoka’s case, we should probably assume he was trying to hunt her down like the rest of the Jedi.

But in Rex’s case….Vader has no reason to suspect he would’ve “turned against him.” And now imagine him showing up on that moon and seeing the bodies of Torrent company buried in the snow, their helmets serving as grave markers for someone to mourn the loss of their individual lives. And Rex’s helmet just isn’t there.

Vader has to assume that Rex is the one who lived to bury his brothers.

And Vader very well might have spent the next hmm idk 30 years or so of his remaining life searching for maybe the only person that, in his mind, never betrayed him and was never his enemy (as far as he knew.)

And after hopelessly spending all that time looking for his clone captain he settles for continuously hiring Boba Fett because he is the closest Vader could ever come to hearing his last remaining friend’s voice again.

jurassic park but star wars and mythosaurs

No but what's funny about the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, is that the entire time Vader is hunting Obi-Wan, he's so fucking FIXATED on Obi-Wan to even discover he's also hunting his own daughter.

[lightsaber-dorphin]

One thing that I think gets overlooked about Obi-Wan’s withered Force use is that it’s not just a physical issue, it’s not just that he has to practice like a runner needs to do warm up exercises first, but that it’s about his emotional state.  That he’s reeling from Anakin being alive, from his brutal fight with Vader, the physical pain that this most precious person deliberately inflicted on him with glee, all of that on top of that his family is still mostly dead and the few that are out there, he’ll probably never see again, he still can’t openly practice his faith. But when the moment comes that Leia’s life is in danger?  That is when we see Obi-Wan Kenobi step up his game.  His lightsaber form is rusty, but he deflects those shots.  His footwork is getting more solid.  He holds back the entire ocean because her life is in danger. This is what a Jedi can do, because they are focused on other people, rather than the attachment to their grief.  When Obi-Wan is forced to shed all that pain and trauma, even just for a moment, that is when he can literally hold back the entire ocean pressing down on the cracking glass.  When it’s for someone else’s sake, everything starts snapping back into place and he remembers the moves, we can see him get better and better and better. Because that’s how a Jedi works, they can move mountains and hold back the ocean when they’re protecting someone, when it’s not about themselves, it’s about the selflessness that is the core of how the light side of the Force works.

you'd better not know how dangerous they are.

[lightsaber-dorphin]

see i dont think obi-wan ever knew abt the anidala marriage, like yeah he figured they were in a relationship but i dont think he even entertained the idea of the two of them having the sheer AUDACITY to make their illegal relationship lawfully binding. like, leaving 0 wiggle room there, straight to the "whats the most attachment to another person that i can profess without donating both my kidneys and how do i make sure it leaves documented proof". but if he did learn abt it, i think stages of grief there would range from "he was 19!!! thats too young!!" to "i didnt know about it!!" to "they didnt even invite me" to "i wish i could have been there for him in this important life step" to "i should have been the best man" to "wait who WAS the best man" to "ARTOO??? you let artoo be the best man???" and itd hurt more than mustafar precisely bc how do you even begin to cope with the fact that your best friend might like his war criminal ps5 more than you. its one thing to take that L to padme. sure u raised that kid but he cant help his terminal heterosexuality. its very much a whole nother thing when the second L hits the kenobi in the form of a sentient trashcan
