#if I did it true obiwan style

Ngl I kinda wanna get the Obi-Wan mullet

[gospelofme]

Ramblings inspired by an earlier conversation

So I was thinking about the Bad Batch series and who all we may see in the show, besides Clone Force 99 obviously (even though I’m excited for more Echo!).

One handsome devil I hope we see is Rex, as well as Ahsoka. We know that Rex is hanging with Wolffe and Gregor in Rebels. We know that Wolffe followed Order 66 and we can assume Gregor did too (although more about him later). How did these three meet up? How were inhibitor chips removed? I have a feeling we may get some of these answers in The Bad Batch. Rex would be trying to save as many of his brothers as he can, but here is where he could run into issues. He can’t save all of them and some will be far too dedicated to their new roles. He had tried to sway Jesse in the finale, but was ultimately unsuccessful.

I brought up earlier that there is a lot of connection between The Umbara Arc and the finale of season 7. On Umbara, Fives sniffed out Krell as being a shifty bastard almost immediately. It’s possible that, since is an ARC Trooper, that he had heard more about the General than Rex had. Fives repeatedly tried to convince his Captain that something needed to be done. Even some of the other troopers noted it, Kix comparing Rex to Krell at one point. But Rex didn’t want to believe that a Jedi would intentionally try to harm them. That this was all a casualty of war. That this was a tough campaign with a new General who had a leadership style they weren’t used to. He even tried to justify Krell’s actions by bringing it back to him having effective strategies that get results. But Fives insisted something wasn’t right. It took Krell ordering the 501st and 212 against each other unknowingly. The incident crushed Rex, it made him question why his superior officer would do this. Why a Jedi would do this.

When Fives was being pursued through Coruscant and had demanded a chat with Rex and Anakin about the chips, the General and Captain had already been warned that Fives was crazy. He was cautious and Anakin did most of the talking. I don’t think he necessarily disbelieved what Fives was saying, but I think his doubt won over. The incident surrounding Fives’ death disturbed him to the point where he filed a report. One he knew would likely be ignored, but he felt like he needed to do it. Again, he wasn’t sure if he believed him then but he believed that Fives believed it was true. He was forced to face the fact that Fives had been right (“you should’ve listened to the ARC trooper! He was right, I was using you!”) when the chips were activated. He managed to fight it for a short time, warning Ahsoka in the process.

Twice Fives had warned him, twice he hadn’t wanted to believe what he was being told (for obvious reasons, you can’t fault him for that), and both times there were crushing consequences. That’s the Rex we’ll get if he appears in The Bad Batch. Not a broken one, but one who won’t ignore another warning. One intent on saving as many of his brothers as he can. Ahsoka would likely join him, as I don’t truly see them separating like they did in the novel. Not after surviving Order 66 together. But I see this as being a new challenge for him. He’ll have to come to terms that he can’t save all of his brothers. That he will have to shoot them. I’m sure he has thought about the ones that are still alive. Bly, Cody, Wolffe, among others. He knows that Cody is with Kenobi, and Kenobi went into hiding after Order 66. He probably assumes that Cody killed Obiwan.

Cody is another that could possibly show up. Being part of the Imperial Army now obviously. Idk if this is still canon or not, but he apparently been assigned to train the new recruits. He dealt with clones being phased out and birth-born humans replacing them. Cody became bitter and resented the birth-born troops due to them not being as efficient as clones. I am not sure if this is the route Disney will take with him. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he shows up as an antagonist. It would be interesting to see how Rex deals with him, since Cody essentially stands in the way of Rex saving and freeing clones. Cody would recognize Rex from a mile away and both know the others skill level.

Wolffe is an interesting one that could pop up too. From what I’ve read, he did follow Order 66 for a while, but it wasn’t him who ordered Plo shot down. That was Captain Jag. This makes me wonder where Wolffe was, since he was usually at Plo’s side. But it may have been as simple as him not being a pilot. He was probably on the planet, but on the ground. At some point after Order 66, he removed his chip. But we don’t know when or how or why. It’s possible this is explored in The Bad Batch.

Gregor could come in to play as well. However, the bro was essentially blown up in the episode he was in. He is in Rebels, so we know he lives, but he’s obviously suffered heavy mental trauma. Whether this is related to the explosion or not, we don’t know. For all we know, there was an error in removing his chip. It looked like was over the frontal lobe which is responsible for a lot of stuff. Gregor’s chip could’ve been damaged in the explosion.

So Rex getting Wolffe (very formidable fighter) and Gregor (a Commando Captain) would be very hard tasks. Both officers wouldn’t be just hanging around. Like Cody, they’d likely be in charge of troops. It would require help to get them, subdue them, and remove their chips. Help from perhaps Clone Force 99? The guys who helped him recover Echo. Rex attempting to save Cody would be fascinating to watch honestly. Perhaps him fighting his brother, trying to subdue him, only to realize Cody is too far gone and is fighting back just as fiercely, and aiming to kill.

I would think Vader would make an appearance as well. It would be interesting to see if any of the clones recognize his fighting style. Both Echo and Cody have been around Anakin long enough to know his style of fighting. I don’t think Rex ever figured out Vader was Anakin, as that was a closely guarded secret. Ahsoka knew, but she never saw Rex again after her fight with Vader. However, it’s possible Rex knew if he’s seen Vader fight. He would know Anakin’s style of fighting better than anyone. I don’t think that part would change, unless Vader decides to learn a new style of combat in the minutes before he carries out Order 66.

Of course, maybe none of this will happen and it strictly focuses on Clone Force 99.

[inkognito97]

Obiwan is injured after Naboo and Quigon doesn't know. He finds out with a bang

Qui-Gon awoke alone and in a little bit of pain. At first, he didn’t know what happened, but then he remembered Naboo and their fight with the Sith. He remembered being impaled by a blood red blade and then he remembered only pain for a while, great agonising pain. After a while of only remembering pain, something else came to the forefront of his mind. Obi-Wan, his Padawan had been there too. And he had told his Padawan to train the boy, Anakin, the Chosen One.

But where was Obi-Wan? Surely he hadn’t hurt his Padawan THAT much, Obi-Wan had understood his true intentions, hadn’t he? Qui-Gon suddenly was not so sure anymore. He gritted his teeth. He couldn’t do anything about it now, the healers had made sure of that. At least he guessed that it had been the healers who had restrained him and cuffed him to his bed and injected him with Force suppressors. The long haired Jedi knew that he had a history with the medbay and the healers, but this was just utterly ridiculous.

It was later, much later when FINALLY a healer deemed it necessary to look after him. The completely shocked and maybe even frightened face of the young male was priceless however. He had even dropped the datapad he had been reading from, when his eyes had met with the Jedi Master’s. Before Qui-Gon could say anything however, the young male had vanished again, only to return with Vokara Che, head healer and apparently not amused by the fact that Qui-Gon had NOT been supervised like she had ordered. Otherwise they would have noticed his awakening much sooner. The past couldn’t be changed however and the female healer had quickly regained her usual Jedi serenity, but not until giving the young male a piece of her mind. After witnessing this, Qui-Gon had not dared to speak up, but eventually he had to. His curiosity got the better of him.

“Forgive me, Master Che, but what news can you give me about my Padawan and the young Skywalker?” he asked while she opened the restraints and took the IV needles from his arms.Her clever eyes darted to his face and there was something in them, that caused a bad feeling in the bearded Jedi’s gut.“I fear this is something you should see for yourself. Can you stand?” He slightly wondered how long he had been in this state for her to even ask this. He had expected, with such a serious injury, that he wouldn’t be allowed to walk for months. Then again, perhaps it had already been months, without him realizing. He didn’t dare to ask though.“I don’t know,” he answered honestly instead. It turned out that he COULD stand, but not without assistance. “This should work well enough,” Master Che nodded her head. “Just so there won’t be any future misunderstandings, if it hadn’t been for Master Yoda, I wouldn’t allow you this much freedom.”“Understood,” he grumbled, “And the restraints?” “For our own protections… You were under the impression that we were your Sith opponent,” she said. She didn’t need to add the reason for the Force suppressor, it was clear that it was very much the same one. Qui-Gon was just grateful that the latter was already wearing off.

“In here,” the head healer said and she motioned with her hand to a closed door. From inside two voices could be heard, but not enough to be understood or identified.The taller male leaned heavily on his walking stick. The short walk had tired him out more than expected. He just prayed that the green troll would never see him like this. On the other hand, perhaps he could take his sweet revenge for all the bruised shins he had received from the Grandmaster of the Order.“Thank you,” he replied. Vokara Che bowed her head and then left, probably to look after other patients or to simply give him some privacy.Whatever it was, it didn’t matter to Qui-Gon. He took a deep breath and eventually opened the door silently. He war greeted by the most precious sight.

The room’s two occupants did not notice him, they were too fixed on each other. Obi-Wan sat upright in his hospital bed, blanket covering him from the hip down. Anakin was sitting in one of those uncomfortable chairs and his brows were furrowed. His tongue peeked out between his lips and his eyed were fixed on the small ball between the two males. The ball trembled a moment, but remained in the air.“Very good,” Obi-Wan praised. Only now did Qui-Gon notice the missing braid and the longer hair. It almost reached him to his shoulders. There was also a bit stubble on his face.“I’m ready,” the blonde said very slowly. He had a braid now and wasn’t the braiding style awfully familiar?A small smile graced the ginger haired man’s features and then Qui-Gon felt him sent a tiny Force wave towards the small ball.Again the round object trembled, this time much stronger. It almost fell to the bed, but Anakin saved it, just in time. Then Obi-Wan raised his hand, palm facing up. Anakin maneuvered the ball into his outstretched hand and then there was silence between them.Slow realisation appeared on the young Skywalker’s face. It was quickly replaced by a huge grin and a gleeful expression. “I did it! I finally did it!” the young Padawan exclaimed excited and then literally flung himself into the other male’s arms. “Thank you Master!”“This was your doing, Padawan. I merely helped you to understand it.”Qui-Gon must have made a small noise, probably a surprised gasp, because the two younger Jedi in the room turned to him in surprise and in shock.“Master Qui-Gon,” Anakin was the first to find his voice again. He pushed himself out of the embrace, but remained in the ginger haired Jedi’s lap. Obi-Wan did not seem to mind.“Anakin,” the tall male smiled, but then turned his attention to his former Padawan, “Obi-Wan,” he didn’t know what to say.Blue-green eyes closed for a moment. “It is good to see you finally fully awake and aware of it,” the Knight said, his smile was blinding. A huge mountain was lifted off of Qui-Gon’s shoulders. So his former apprentice HAD understood the true intentions behind his often stupid actions.“Of course I understood, you just wanted to help Anakin,” Qui-Gon had not realized that the bond between Obi-Wan and him still existed. “It still hurt though… in the beginning.”“And I am terrible sorry for that,” this was the complete truth.“I know and I would forgive you, were there anything to forgive,” the ginger haired Knight replied. He leaned back against his pillow, when Anakin leaned more against his chest.“You should sit down Master Qui-Gon, your legs are trembling,” the blonde Padawan cut in. He motioned to the chair he had been occupying.“If it doesn’t bother you Obi-Wan, to hold your Padawan a little longer.”The air around Anakin shifted and Obi-Wan’s blue-green eyes saddened. “It’s not like I feel him, so…” he trailed off.The long haired man had slumped in the chair at this point, glad to relax his trembling legs. “What do you mean?”“Has nobody told you?” “No,” Qui-Gon had no idea what was going on. Out of instinct he reached out and took on of his former Padawan’s hands in his own. It immediately tightened around his larger hand, seeking comfort.The ginger haired Knight sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. He averted concerned midnight blue eyes and rested his chin on blonde spikes. “I have no feelings in my legs anymore, I am paralyzed from the hips down.”Qui-Gon swallowed heavily. “How bad?”Obi-Wan shrugged, still averting his gaze, “The healer still have one or two tests and another special method, but it is most likely permanent… At least I do not need help relieving myself, thank the Force for small mercies.”“But… How?” words were not easily coming to the Master’s mind. “The Sith…” He sighed, it was not easy for Obi-Wan to explain. He took comfort in the knowledge that it was his old Master he was talking to and that his dear Padawan was sending comfort and love over their bond. “After you went down.. I had to fight him alone. He landed a good hit on me… on my back. The healers don’t know how I have done this, me neither to be honest. They guess it must have been the adrenaline and the Force that kept me going until I was able to stabilize you, afterwards… well, Anakin found me, found US then.”“Tell him how I got you out there,” the young Padawan chuckled.“Be careful that I don’t get YOU out of here,” Obi-Wan retorted.“As if,” the blonde nestled closer to his Master, he loved hearing the man tell stories.“Insolent brat,” the Knight said, but with fondness in his voice and sparkling eyes.“How did he get us out?” After the highly amusing exchange between the new Master-Padawan-Team right in front of him, Qui-Gon wanted to know.Obi-Wan then continued the hilarious tale of embarrassing moments he (and Qui-Gon) had to suffer since their little adventure on Naboo.

At some point during the Knight’s story on his time in the medbay, the young Padawan succumbed to sleep. Most likely due to the relaxed atmosphere and the constant stroking of Obi-Wan’s free hand, the one Qui-Gon did not still held in his own, through his short hair.A gentle tug brought the ginger haired male’s attention to his former Master. Qui-Gon’s eyes were sad, “How are you feeling, dear one?”“I don’t know,” he took a shaky breath, “it’s still… I still cannot quite believe it. I don’t WANT to believe it.”The older male got up on shaky legs and seated himself next to his former Padawan, so that he could put his arm around the younger man’s shoulders. Obi-Wan immediately leaned into him. “We will figure something out.”The ginger haired Knight nodded. It wasn’t alright and it probably wouldn’t be for some time. Obi-Wan was still in denial, only on the way to acceptance, then again, the healers were not finished with him yet either. Qui-Gon however was in shock, even though he didn’t let it show, not in front of his former Padawan. Guilt gnawed in his mind. Had he listened to Obi-Wan and had he not been too proud to wait for help, they probably wouldn’t be in this mess. “Don’t dwell on the past Master,” an accented voice spoke up.“Wise words, my former Padawan,” Qui-Gon chuckled fondly. He had not expected his own words to be thrown back at him. Still, he silently wished that their rolls were reversed. He had lived most of his life, but Obi-Wan’s had barely started. It pained the older Jedi to think of the possibility that his action loving brat might not be able to dance and fly with his lightsaber again. It pained to even have to face the possibility that his son in all but blood would never be without any form of assistance in his life anymore. It would be impossible for him to go on missions alone as well.“You are thinking again,” the accented voice grumbled.“I am planning on requesting a permanent partnership. Anakin could benefit from two Masters, one unofficial one with a lot of experience and one official one with new and fresh ideas. Also… I don’t want to let go just yet.”Obi-Wan chuckled, “I like the idea, this way I can make sure that you stay out of trouble.”“Excuse me?” the long haired man asked scandalized. Obi-Wan started outright laughing at that, it was a wonder that the young Skywalker did not wake up.Still, if there was even the tiniest chance of recovery, Qui-Gon would hope and he would be at Obi-Wan’s side till the very end, no matter what he would chose. He owned him at least that much. He would hope and he would not give up on his former Padawan. Obi-Wan had never given up on him after all. And perhaps, just perhaps, the Force was listening to his prayers…
