#and what if HE CALLS HIM 'ANAKIN' THERE

[inquisitor-apologist]

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.

Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.

Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.

au where because palpatine is anakin’s confidante during his teenage years, he gets to hear all about the latest love of his life and how this relationship is The One, This Is It, Senator, Anakin Is Sure He Is In Love, only for the relationship to crash and burn a few weeks/months later, which results in dark! bad mood! anakin who swears to never see or speak to the temptress who played with his heart ever again

which gives sidious Ideas about how to most successfully ruin anakin’s relationship with obi-wan, aka the only thing really firmly keeping anakin in the light, so that he can twist anakin into Falling and becoming his sith apprentice.

after all it turns out that while obi-wan kenobi is damn near unkillable, he isn’t unfuckable (in the eyes of the vast majority of the galaxy.....anakin included)

and so palpatine becomes the number one obikin shipper, the og stan, the fan with a plan. he sets them up on countless dates and fancy dinners, gives them his opera house tickets, pays for them to be serenaded by the Coruscanti orchestra.....all because he thinks that once they get together it’ll be only a matter of time before they break up and then anakin will be so betrayed and distraught that he never talks to obi-wan again

but that....keeps not happening and palpatine just keeps bankrolling their dates at increasingly fancier and fancier places, all the while Anakin is in his In Love and Life Is Wonderful phase, Kenobi shyly thanks Palpatine for his kindness, and Sidious has to keep reminding himself that the happier and higher Skywalker feels the further he’ll Fall.......right? right???

I've decided the only valid answer to the question of "Could another Master have trained Anakin better/saved Anakin from Falling" is Jon Antilles.

This has absolutely nothing to do with any sort of personality differences between Jon Antilles and Obi-Wan or any belief that Jon Antilles would be a better teacher or has anything in particular in common with Anakin, and everything to do with the pure rage-fueled aneurysm that being Jon Antilles's Padawan would give to Palpatine as he tries to contact Anakin and is told for the 7th time now that Anakin and his Master were just declared dead again and no one's sure if it's stuck this time.

[jabba-the-fett]

Just some dead guys in the force.

Qui-gon, Plo Koon, and Obi-Wan are having tea and a discussion (they’re really gossiping)

Anakin is making fun of Luke for his life choices (they tracked in sand from tatooine)

Yoda is just hanging (maybe), meanwhile Jaro Tapal is maxing out the squat machine

[skyyworker]

anakin staining his clothes with grease, some of it ends up in his hair, some of it on his cheeks.

anakin stuffing random objects in his mouth while he’s fixing a droid because he only has two hands but he needs the bolts and screwdrivers of different sizes within reach.

anakin spending most of his days back at the temple locked in his room tinkering with droid parts or in the hangar making... adjustments to his ship.

anakin falling asleep on his most recent project and obi-wan gently moving him into a more comfortable position before covering him with a blanket.

anakin bringing his little projects on missions because he wants to test them on the field and being put off when, at times, they get blown up in the heat of the moment.

[furious-blueberry0]

"Leia has forgiven Anakin for what he has done" is probably the most bullshit statement I have ever read in my entire life.

You want to tell me that Leia Organa forgave the one who killed her parents and genocided her people right in fornt of her?

Why the hell would she do that? Only because Luke could forgive him doesn't mean that everyone should.

I love Anakin but he fucked up an entire galaxy, and Leia has more rights than anybody to fucking hate him till her death, and then whoop his ass when she becomes a Force ghost.

i watched a tik tok edit and now i’m thinking too hard about anakin and obi wan and it’s making me sad

Star Wars: Hidden Empire

So Palpatine is following Vader in one of his adventures, he´s excited like a kid in a sweet shop because there may be an ancient Sith trapped in the Fermata Cage and he could use their power.

Vader is looking at this like this is just another day on the job and isn´t nearly as excited to meet an ancient Sith who most probably will just try to kill both him and his master and then it will be his job to put the Sith back in the cage.

Then possessed Aphra appears, trapped by a spirit seeking revenge against the Sith and Vader is like, I guess this may as well happen.

Time to use one of his unused powers, the one who allows him to deposses people with the force:

Vader´s life is just like this and he stopped trying to make sense of it a long time ago. He must really like Aphra, I don´t think this is what Palpatine meant when he told Vader to deal with it but he is taking some creative licenses in the wording of his master.

"we thought he was here to help us" why don't i just kill myself

Allow me to scream at you with Star Wars au fic ideas:

Alexsandr Kallus is Padme Amidala’s little brother

Pros:

Related to Anakin Skywalker through marriage and witnesses insane feats of the Jedi and develops brotherly bond with soon-to-be Darth Vader

Also gains friendships and connections with Kenobi, Ahsoka, Rex (imagine the reunion on Yavin), etc

Goes through villain arc after learning of his sister’s death. In complete denial that his brother-in-law murdered his sister. (In this au Anakin’s actions directly killed her, childbirth aside) Convinced there were other forces at play

Joins the Imperial Academy in part because the Empire wanted Alderaan to give them a royal-of-sorts for their army and the publicity — but also to investigate his sister’s death (kinda gets sucked into the whole “bring order to the galaxy” thing tho and gets side-tracked from his sister’s murder)

After Bahyrn, investigates further and learns Anakin didn’t die on Mustafar. He became you-know-who. (cue Kallus’ identity crisis because how could he not recognize Anakin while working together bringing order to the galaxy)

Becomes Fulcrum, gains substantial stress, constantly fearful of having to face his former brother figure again, finally makes it to Yavin

But then of course he gets kidnapped by the Empire. Thrawn and Vader are extremely interested into why such a powerful agent would be at odds with his loyalties —

Kallus decides he’s dying within 24 hours, might as well make them memorable, and immediately reveals his connection to Vader within seconds of interrogation

(Cue stunned Vader breaths swishhhh swoooo swishhhhh sw — )

Thrawn going “pardon?”

Vader going “Thrawn gtfo”

Intense family reunion comprising of Vader in denial that his brother-in-law is alive and Kallus eating this up (if he lives, no one’s going to believe him when he says he made a Sith Lord speechless, but Maker he’s having fun with it)

Vader leaving in a rush, still in denial that his little brother-in-law is alive and a rebel, just confused enough to miss the Ghost crew coming in to rescue Kallus

Kallus is rescued. Makes last stand against Vader. Kallus Convinces Vader to let them go and Vader agrees

(Then Kallus has to explain to the Ghost Crew what in Ashla that was about. Revelations aside. Carry on now. Maybe some more plot later. Vader has identity crisis)

Cons:

None

How did I miss the archivist padawan post??? I love it so much!! I want to see what sort of ill-fated groveling Obi-Wan resorts to before realizing he gets account access back automatically. And how long it takes for Anakin to lock his account again just to make him talk to him again. And then they both get dragged in front of Yoda and Master Nu for "disrupting the archives" and "important research, ask Obi-Wan to do I did" and "impressionable younglings, there are. Get a room, you should"

theres definitely a moment where archivist padawan anakin definitely antagonizes obi-wan into snapping and saying that he's very much considering Falling and this time he gets it on camera/as a recording which he takes to the council because he is obviously a very concerned padawan who is very concerned with doing the right thing

and he suggests that maybe if knight kenobi must continue to do this very important dark side research, anakin should be there to supervise him....for safety and stuff..... (anakin's suggesting this with his hands behind his back, rocking on his heels, blinking big blue innocent eyes up at the council)

that way obi-wan can't stop talking to him even when he gets his systems access back lol

[sukugo]

anakin hates being tall bc it means he’s not at “accidentally burying his face in obi-wan’s chest” height

[thebirdandhersong]

Just started TLJ for fun because it was a Long Day and I wanted some form of distraction that didn't involve the current Ghost Crew kinda high stakes episode I was halfway through and I must say..... this is so strange to me
