The jedi order is so glad that they get their own venators. So many of them would die by blowing up their own ship to kill the other jedi present.

The clones are BAFFLED. Nowhere in any of their training modules is it mentioned that the jedi are more territorial than a mythosaur.

Force users are intensely territorial and find it very challenging to spend time around other Force users without devolving into violence

only the very young and the elderly are able to tolerate living in the Temple full-time, and others visit only rarely to avoid viewing each other as threats; in fact, they are unable to stay in any one location too long, lest they grow overly attached and territorial over it and anyone who lives there, which is what led to the Old Republic-era Jedi claiming whole planets as fiefdoms

as Jedi younglings approach the age of becoming Padawans, they start to accidentally maim each other when they get startled or feel threatened, which is taken as a sign that they're ready to be apprenticed and away from the Temple and its high concentration of perceived rivals

Jedi manage to tolerate their Padawans by staking a claim on their one, singular, student

the Padawan is considered ready for Knighthood when their Master starts to perceive them as a threat

in contrast, the Sith seem positively sociable; this is not to say that they're any less territorial or that they enjoy each other's company, but that their philosophy views the act of avoiding conflict as an admission of fear and thus they all stick as close to each other as possible to show off how strong and unafraid of backstabbing they are

Obi-Wan was positively thrilled when Qui-Gon announced he was taking Anakin as his Padawan, because he's been increasingly less subtly trying to off Qui-Gon to prove his readiness for Knighthood and independence

he's similarly relieved ten years later when Anakin is Knighted very young, eager to finally get some space to himself despite his care for Anakin

but no, Anakin's been absorbing a little too much Sith philosophy from his good friend the Chancellor and wants to stay As Close As Possible

Obi-Wan thinks he deserves a Sainthood for tolerating this without resorting to murder

why do I only admire the people who bomb buildings with themselves inside?

codywan pirate au but the pirates aren't a well known terrifying crew of fierce warriors, theyre barely considered muggers by the naval forces.

They've never killed anyone, they save people being attacked by other pirates, they just want your money.

When navy General kenobi gets captured he asks them what they're doing wandering around the ocean and pirate captain Cody is like

Do you know just how many illegitimate children my father had? If I didn't become a pirate I wouldn't be able to feed them all. Especially since he has a legitimate son now and no longer provides money to the rest of us. That b*stard is a duke and my brothers are starving.

And obi wan is like

I'll pay your bills. It'll piss off my grandpa.

Dogpiling a lightsaber-weilding insectoid cyborg is... an interesting choice, troopers

Anakin is in a mafia, but not a mafia au.

During his junior padawan years he sneaks out to go podracing and winds up pit fighting on the recommendation of someone he doesn't know is in a crime syndicate

Somehow, "you're good at pit fighting, how do you feel about standing behind me and looking threatening during a few ... meetings"

Becomes

"You need me to send someone to tattooing? Oh to check on your mom. Sure thing"

And

"Your senatorial lady friend's Clone Rights Bill is facing strong pushback? Let me make a few calls."

Anakin never realizes that he has become the heir to a criminal empire.

Fic recs pls

A few months ago I found several different fics where din djarin accidentally time travels and becomes the Supreme chancellor in the process but now I can't find any of then and I want to reread them

Help :(

Just thinking about that time when Commander Wolffe was trying to bring Ahsoka in while she was on the run and had the help of Ventress...

Wolffe: Ah, yes, Asajj Ventress…the woman that took my eye…the person I despise most…I’m gonna go for it. I’m gonna take her down. If I come from behind and immobilize her arms then maybe I can-

Ventress: *proceeds to go feral*

Perhaps the only thing more disturbing than Jango Fett in phase II TCW animation style is Jango Fett in phase I TCW animation style

It’s a bit jarring

The bad batch 1x08 spoilers!!

regarding the end of the episode

THE SAME GODDAMN ENERGY

Protecting their vulnerable older brothers from Cad Bane🥲

Wait, what?

So you mean to tell me that Padmé had this conversation with Anakin, displaying this body language, and she hadn’t told him she was pregnant yet??

It’s so intimate- and her hand on her obvious baby bump-

But it’s definitely before she told him she was pregnant because she didn’t tell him until he got back to Coruscant from saving Chancellor Palpatine, which takes place in the Siege of Mandalore arc, after the Bad Batch arc.

Uhhhhh

Characters that had good intentions but fucked up methods

Morally grey

Why are people so against shipping Rexsoka??

Unlike Anisoka, there is no canonical evidence that points to Ahsoka and Rex having a sibling bond.

In The Clone Wars season 7, which was released in 2020, which is fairly recent, Ahsoka’s relationships with Anakin and Rex were both DEFINED in HER WORDS. When asked where she learned how to fight, she replied with “my older brother taught me.” So she thinks of Anakin, her master, as a brother, however, when she is speaking with Rex before Order 66 she tells him that “The Republic couldn’t have asked for better soldiers, nor I a better friend.” She said herself that she thinks of him as a friend!!

I believe that since she thinks of Anakin as a brother, shipping Anisoka is kinda weird (but you do you). But, because she thinks of Rex as a friend, I think shipping Rexsoka is perfectly normal. Many ships are merely friendships, so what makes this one any different?

Anyone that claims that Rexsoka is gross because they are basically siblings has only fanon headcannons as evidence. Often times, fan’s interpretations get spread until it’s different from the canon material. This ship is a prime example and it shouldn’t be shunned for this reason.

HOWEVER, since Ahsoka is technically still a teenager throughout The Clone Wars, I think shipping their older selves is more appropriate and the sexualization of TCW!Ahsoka is disgusting.

In conclusion, if you block people or are rude to people that ship Rexsoka, please don’t, you’re overreacting, and you may want to go home and rethink your life.

Rex hadn’t connected the dots when he had learned of the infamous Dark Lord of the Sith, Vader, serving the Emperor. He hadn’t connected the dots when Ezra returned from Malachor without his blaster-saber, guiding his then blind master, with Ahsoka nowhere in sight. He hadn’t connected the dots upon seeing the blond haired, blue eyed Jedi named Skywalker wielding his former general’s blue-bladed lightsaber.

It wasn’t until after the Battle of Endor, when the Darth Star II had been destroyed, fireworks lit the sky with resonating booms, the remaining Rebels cheered and celebrated with their Ewok allies, the Empire was as good as gone, and Skywalker had returned in an Imperial ship, carrying Darth Vader’s body with tears in his eyes, did Rex connect the dots.

Darth Vader was his beloved former Jedi General of the 501st Clone Battalion, Anakin Skywalker.

For 25 years, Rex had believed that Anakin had been killed by the blasters of his brothers upon the declaration of Order 66. Perhaps he had survived long enough to have been struck down by the Emperor or Inquisitors he had heard so much about from his newer Jedi leadership. He had never imagined that his general and friend was capable of such terrible things.

Despite his disbelief, nothing would change. His general was dead and Rex would never fight beside him again.

Remembering the countless battles and near-death experiences they had shared, Rex watched from afar as Anakin’s body burned on the pyre. Luke sensed his presence and caught the salute Rex threw his way, only to realize it wasn’t for him, but for his father.

After he had reunited with his friends and celebrated their victory, Luke still couldn’t shake the older clone trooper from his thoughts. Curiously, Luke had asked Obi-wan who the old clone trooper was and how he knew his father. His mentor’s brief explanation prompted him to greet the soldier and introduce himself.

They talked long into the night. Luke had asked Rex about what his father was like during the war. Rex had told him about the Battle of Christophsis and how Anakin became a master to Ahsoka Tano, the liberation of the Togruta from Zygerrian slavers, the countless planets spared from the cruelty of the Separatist’s droid army and influence, and how he would cover for Anakin’s comms to Padmé. He told Luke about his mother and his father, how much they had loved one another, and how far they went to protect one another.

Luke finally felt at peace upon hearing about his parents. He had been reassured that his father was a good person, beyond the expectations the Jedi order demanded from him. He had sensed the good in his father while he still held the name Vader, but hearing it from his father’s old friend was the proof he needed. Rex had told him the things Obi-wan wouldn’t, but it was exactly what he needed to hear, and for that he was grateful.

I am literally bawling my eyes out right now imagining Rex joining the rebellion before A New Hope.

Does he instantly see Padmé in Luke’s kind eyes? Or perhaps in Leia’s strength and leadership, Rex sees echos of Anakin.

Does he tell them who he is? Or was he too afraid? Afraid he’s wrong, afraid he’s just seeing ghosts. Or perhaps he’s afraid he’s right.

And Leia and Luke sit next to each other at briefings, and Rex swears he’s on Coruscant again, playing lookout for Padmé and Anakin. And maybe Leia laughs at one of Luke’s corny farm boy jokes, and she calls him Skyguy-

And suddenly the room is full of smoke and he’s on the battlefield for the Republic again, listening to Anakin and Ahsoka argue.

And he says nothing. He can’t. How would he even begin to explain? What words could even begin to describe how much it all hurts.

And he’s older now. And he’s tired.

But he swore to himself he would look after the 501st. But the boys are gone. And Ahsoka is gone. And Anakin is gone.

But his shadow remains. Two shadows.

And that’s enough to hold onto.

So quietly. He looks after the twins.

Every mission. He signs up first. Every briefing, he finds a seat somewhere behind the Twins. From Hoth to Endor he follows. Never accepting a mission too far away from wherever they are.

But he can never find the courage to talk to them.

Because Leias big brown eyes look a little too much like Padmé’s. And Luke has his fathers blue blade at his side, and he wears it with pride.

But I like to think, as the sun sets on Endor, and the Ewoks sing songs and dance,

Luke sits himself near the lonely soldier who lingers far from the crowd and says

“I’m Luke. Ben said you knew my father.”

i can’t believe lucasfilm & co. really just said, “oh yeah so we’re not actually gonna mention it in tcw but kix decided to investigate the order 66 plot after what happened to fives, and then got captured by the separatists because he knew too much. but before he could be transported to dooku his ship crashed and he was stuck in cold storage for 50 years before finally being found, long after all his brothers were already dead. so now he’s the last clone in existence.” and then just. ONLY EVER TALK ABOUT IT IN PERIPHERAL PIECES OF STAR WARS MEDIA.

LIKE ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

I agree, but I think for storytelling purposes, it was meant to be that way. It was meant to show the audience that the republic was failing and becoming corrupt, which lead to its demise.

Everything from Palpatine’s extended term limit, corrupt senators, the creation and use of the clone army, countless war crimes, the death of innocent civilians and creatures, and the Jedi order losing their way and choosing to fight in the Clone War was to help aid this narrative.

It was genius on Palpatine’s part. When you think about it, Pong Krell, Maul, the Zygerrian Queen, Barriss Offee, Trace and Rafa, Ventress, Slick, and Fives were absolutely right about the Republic’s corruptness and it’s imminent downfall. The Republic was evil, and that’s why it became the Empire. The Empire had to rise from something, and this was what George Lucas chose.

I am so frustrated rn with the people that try and make it seem like Jedi loved the clones, with maybe the exception of Plo, and maybe Shaak. The Jedi cared about the WAR, NOT their MEN. Men that trusted them, had feelings, emotions. Men that, like slick, even ended up betraying the order because hey! This life is fucked and why should we be slaves??? They may be programmed and a clone of another man, but that doesn't make them less of a person! Less of a breathing creature that deserves to make their own decisions.

You can say what you want, but they were enslaved. You saw from jedi as bad as Pong Krell, to as mild as Yoda, Anakin, or even Obi-Wan that they didn't care. Ping-Pong-Dong turned them against each other, ignoring the mission on umbara just to destroy the clones.

Anakin, as @nibeul mentioned in an absolute stellar post, fucking let a whole group of men die for a fucking R2 unit. Who tf does that? I get it, he's had R2 forever, but he killed those men! And people still stand up for him.

Obi-Wan and Yoda?? Fucking JOKES. They didn't even try to spare them. They slaughtered those men with zero remorse even if they couldn't control themselves! They were in a trance, they had a fucking chip for gods sake! How are they going to fight that? I know some could, like Rex, but not all can.

Plo was the only one that actually just let it all go .down and happen, sparing his men, his bros, even if they were in "the wrong." (Because is there really a right and a wrong in this war?? both sides suck ass in their own ways.) He was said to be the best pilot ever, right below anakin even, I think. And he didn't even attempt to fly off or fight back. He didn't want to be the reason his men died, blood on his hands. Or at least that’s how I see it.

I know this is random but FUCK, Jedi puss me off. They aren't right at all, the clones deserved better tbfh. Like honestly, if it weren't for the fact slick got some of his brothers killed, I wouldn't have blamed the guy. I would have tried to leave the order and free my brothers if I was in that situation. I would have left, because you know what, with all those men you could overthrow them. Get new fucking soldiers, not men that don't even know what happiness outside of the war is.

OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED WHO KID LOKI AND ALLIGATOR LOKI REMIND ME OF😭😭

It’s Boba Fett and Bossk—

Just a boy and his reptile friend😭😭
