“You have the look of a woman in love. Who are they? Who has stolen my daughter’s heart?”

[morekills-moved]

it was strange to be back. yavin four    ——    the jedi academy    ——    that was home and so familiar. coruscant? it felt like a distant memory, so foreign to existence. it’s where she was raised, where her family resided, but it did not feel like hers anymore. even after all the challenges they faced like being kidnapped and manipulated by brakiss, it still felt better than being here.    “    the shadow academy,    ”    putting up a strong front, pretending like the events had no effect,    “    nothing happened. i’m fine.    ”    (    @mendshope    /    starter call.    )

Starter for mendshope

((OOC: @mendshope))

The Doctor walked out of his TARDIS and onto the space ship.  He was in a new part of space that he hadn’t been to often, in a very far away galaxy and he was fairly unfamilar with their ships, so he wanted to explore.  He found a vessel with one passenger and figured it would be worth exploring.  He could probably explore the ship without it ever being known he was there.  He wouldn’t interfere, just observe, or so he thought.  

However, almost as soon as he walked out, he turned a corner and a woman was there, staring at him, and pointing a gun or some kind of blaster at him.  “Why hello there,” the Doctor grinned as he raised his hands in surrender.  It wasn’t the first time he started an adventure by getting captured and probably wouldn’t be the last.

“I was informed if I wanted to join the Resistance I had to see the General first.” Luke said as he moved to stand before her. “I can’t say I’m as good of a pilot as I use to be, but I’m not washed up just yet.”

Anakin want’s his mothers to know he loves them very much & he’s very sorry for all the worry he puts them through

Padme:  All Skywalker children are grounded! Including Anakin!

Kylo: You can’t ground me, Nana! I’m 29 and living on my own!

Rey: I have a galaxy to save because someone *glares at Kylo* had to run off to the dark side to be like his grandfather!

Leia: I have a Resistance to lead!

Han: ... Am I still alive or what?

Luke: But!

Mara: *too busy sharpening knives at 3:00 AM*

Finn: Don’t be angry at me, please!

Poe: Can I have permission to go in an x-wing and blow something up?

Artoo: *droidspeak cursing*

Threepio: I’m sorry, my lady. I’ll power down now.

Ahsoka: Why am I included in this?

Anakin: What in the galaxy did I do?! *turns to Obi-Wan* Do something about this!

Obi-Wan: Oh no. I’m enjoying this far too much.

Qui-Gon: I love it when the family gets together.

some hcs for the twins being raised together on tatooine and/or alderaan / from @mendshope

▸▸ I love anything to do with the twins being raised together. My favourite is probably when the two of them are moved from place to place, never getting to settle in a single place. But I love the other ideas too.

Tatooine:

Leia and Luke dividing up chores on the farm in order to sneak into town. They can work so efficiently together when they try, Owen’s not sure how they manage to get everything done so quickly

The two of them being taught about other planets by Beru, making bets with each other about how many planets they’re going to visit someday. Who’s going to manage to get off Tatooine first

Leia is the one to tell Luke off when he gets involved in yet another dangerous race, then he gets told off by Owen too

Leia standing up for Luke when he’s bullied, she’s the intimidating sister

Alderaan:

It’s rare to see one without the other, they’re pretty much regarded as a ‘unit’. You can’t invite Leia somewhere without Luke tagging along and vice-versa

The two of them provide such balance when it comes to their political training. Bail’s not sure if Luke or Leia will become the senator, it feels like you can’t just have one

The two of them sharing stories and keeping promises they would never trust anybody else with: anything bad they’re done, their first crushes, everything. There are very few secrets kept between them

[becamealegend-a]

Because I’m in love with this fanart and the idea of Luke and Leia being raised together. I’m really digging them both being raised on the Lars moisture farm together on Tatooine. Here are my headcanons/thread wish list for this verse (which I’m calling v: new hopes on tatooine):

Leia never conformed to gender norms and pretty much does as much farm work as she does cooking. Luke does the same.

Luke and Leia both played with the toy ships Obi-Wan left for them at Shmi’s grave that Beru found

While unaware of their Force sensitivity, they had a natural Force Bond that formed in the womb and so without a full understanding they grew up being able to talk to each other telepathically

I see Leia sneaking out more to find Old Ben Kenobi

Both the twins wanted to leave Tatooine somehow

Leia was upset that Luke applied for the imperial academy because she was always more of a passionate rebel than Luke was

Artoo and Threepio become their droids after fleeing a rebel ship that was overtaken by the Empire above Tatooine. Artoo has the plans for the Death Star that were shoved into him by Bail Organa with instructions for Obi-Wan to deliver them to Brehe Organa

The twins are both upset when they learn their aunt and uncle died and they both decide to train under Obi-Wan to become Jedi like their father. 

Luke doesn’t trust Han when they first meet, probably because he’s going into slight protective older twin brother mode.

They temporarily shared their father’s lightsaber. After Obi-Wan is killed by Vader, Leia inherits Obi-Wan’s lightsaber.

Lets just face it. I see Luke being captured after getting somehow separated from the group by Vader. Vader senses that their is something about this boy, not only in how similar he looked to how Anakin did at around 19, but also how their Force signatures are basically the same since they are blood relatives. Luke doesn’t say anything about the Death Star plans and say he can tell Vader all about moisture farming, though.

Leia saves Luke from their father on the Death Star.

They both continue their training under Yoda.

Luke still loses his hand. Leia manages to make it out of Cloud City from the joint duel against her father in one piece, though.

They both take the news of Vader being their father differently. Luke shuts down, but I imagine Leia still powering on with the Rebellion.

Leia and Han still share love sparks.

❛ was it my fault that i got out of hand? ❜ / from leia ( @mendshope )

“We all control only our own actions, Leia– but if it helps, I do think they were provoking you intentionally.” 

[starsandthedyad]

I need more of an au where Anakin and Palpatine are resurrected and running around the time of episodes VII to IX. But like it sets off a chain resurrections so Obi-Wan comes back along with Padme and Qui-Gon and Yoda and others (Tarkin, etc.). Ani and Obi have forgiven each other and have gone back into being best bros and fighting together. Qui-Gon is following the beat of his own drum, as per usual, but is extremely helpful to the Resistance. Ani also keeps trying to find a time to challenge Poe to a race to see whose the better pilot. But then he also has to be serious and is nervous to talk to Leia. Meanwhile someone has to get Luke off that island. While Snoke and Kylo are just like “Jedi everywhere!” And Padme appears to drag her grandson back by his ears.

Force ghost!Anakin doesn’t know his children’s full names so whenever he has a need to use them, he just shouts all of the full names that he thinks Padme gave Luke and Leia. These names are Luke Qui-Gon Amidala Skywalker and Leia Shmi Amidala Skywalker.

‘  get  up .  we’re  going  to  save  the  world .  ’ / from leia (@mendshope)

Luke pulled his arm off his face.  His eyes were still bleary from sleep, and he blinked a few times to try to wake up enough to understand what was going on.  “The world?  Which one?”
