Rex: I sleep with a blaster under my pillow.

Anakin: I sleep with my lightsaber.

Obi Wan: Both of you are pathetic.

Anakin: Oh yeah? What do you sleep with?

Obi Wan: Cody.

*Gossiping after their respective mission briefs*

Good morning to everyone except the people who don’t love our live action captain and who won’t let us enjoy this moment

[commander-fox-enthusiasts]

Just enjoy

part two to this post about senator anakin, but i'm trying to organise those thoughts cohesively (key word being trying)

he'd wear some kind of krayt dragon inspired mask. probably dark and broody vis à vis anakin skywalker, so probably black and matte, but still. i'm talking wavy horns and shit, super dope. it also makes him intimidating for the other senators so they're assuming he's some high and mighty rebel/warlord (and not all of 19 years of hormonal and generational rage)

rivals to friends to lovers anidala. that one political debate scene in the field from attack of the clones but turned up to 100. that is all

palpatine would definitely see the tension between padmé and anakin and use it to try to isolate the guy by having them spend plenty of time around each other. he's probably anticipating that they'll butt heads too much and that the "lovely and welcoming senator from naboo" will set a poor example for the rest of the senate and have him come to palpatine for support or just leave entirely - palpy's plans have thus far relied on this absolute unit in the force to have stayed in the outer rim >:( - but it ends up being a major backfire because then they fall in love.

on that note, since anakin's shadowing padmé, he's also shadowing her jedi protectors. them being one obi-wan kenobi and his new padawan ahsoka tano. one would think that obi-wan would be wary of this bizarre stranger and ahsoka would love his forthright and brazen nature, but it ended up being the opposite. obi-wan was endeared to him, finding the bluntness (which would come across as rude) as refreshing among politicians. it helps that obi-wan defended anakin from an assassination attempt in the dead of night and was the first person on coruscant to see him without his mask. Ahsoka finds him abbrasive and annoying, but will eventually come around.

anakin has some seriously awesome power in this au, probably more than shown in canon purely because he doesn't have the safety precautions as in canon. he practiced his power in the dead tatooine desert and exercised it on slavers, so when he yoinks another would-be assassin's ship out of the sky with the force, lets just say the jedi were surprised.

anakin still loves rex. the clones are so cool in his opinion and he adores hanging with the 501st. fives loves him dearly because "captain, this senator just doesn't give a kriff. like, at all. can we keep him?"

@crossover15 kofi requested Anakin introducing the twins to the 501st!!

(kofi requests are open!)

I’m never gonna finish this dumb fucking sketch but i still think it’s funny. It’s canon to me that Anakin does the “if i run and leap at obiwan he will almost certainly catch me in his arms” thing well into adulthood

Hold on here because now there's more

Another reason to ship rexanidala/Rexwalker: canonically Anakin marries a literal queen. “Rex” means “king” in Latin. Anakin was made for royalty

Rex: Is… Is that meant to be on fire? Anakin: No… not really. Rex: Are you going to do something about it? Anakin: Hm… nah.

Okay this episode of Ahsoka was incredible and broke me so many times and I’m so happy that Dave let us finally see live action Clone Wars. Ahsoka was so freaking young in the Clone War and I forget that with how cocky and mature she is in the show. They freaking nailed Anakin and Ahsoka’s dynamic in live action and I love it. Anakin actually teaching her in live action was great, especially since it’s clear that he wasn’t quite sure how to teach this child yet and he’s still figuring it out and trying to connect with her while still fighting a war. Anakin never wanted a padawan and hadn’t prepared himself to be a teacher at first, he was figuring it out as he went and they showed that perfectly. The designs of Anakin in his clone war armor and Ahsoka’s young design were all 👌. Live action Rex was almost everything; if only Temuera’s face could have been seen. Young Ahsoka’s actress nailed the role, especially the older Ahsoka of the Siege of Mandalore (that armcross, though). Anakin and Ahsoka’s duel(s) had so freaking much to unpack that I’ll need ages before I can even try; the choreography was phenomenal and they once again nailed Anakin’s style. They mentioned Leia and she’s just as defiant against the New Republic bureaucracy bullshit as she should be, doing all she can to help Hera from afar and that’s fucking awesome. It also implies that either Luke knows about the situation and has a valid reason to be elsewhere or they didn’t call him because he is busy rebuilding the Jedi and the Republic military knows this (and it eases the MCU phase 2 “why aren’t they just calling the Avengers” vibes I’ve been getting for weeks). And I’m just rambling because I loved it so much and I want to gush before reality hits again.

I’ve edited this post several times as stuff keeps popping up.
