Ahsoka series wishlist:
Picks up where the Rebels Epilogue ends but set after TBOBF
Finding Ezra isn’t in the finale and he gets a good amount of screentime throughout the season
Redeemed Thrawn (I believe that he does whatever is in his and Csilla’s best interest. The Empire probably thinks he’s dead, not that Palpatine was happy with him the last time they spoke immediately before the Purgill incident. If anything, I think Ezra saved Thrawn’s life and Thrawn probably knows it)
ELI VANTO (with a southern accent!!!)
Chiss vs Grysk conflict and Ezra possibly helping Thrawn
Ghost Crew reunion (hopefully with Zeb and Kallus as well)
Force-sensitive Sabine trained by Ahsoka to use Ezra’s lightsaber (there’s a lot of evidence to support Sabine being force-sensitive: being a descendant of Tarre Vizsla, the Darksaber finding its way to her, her being able to defeat Kanan in a duel when she tapped into her emotions, the force theme playing during her fight with Gar Saxon, Ezra leaving his lightsaber to her and “counting on her”, the loth wolves following her in the Rebels epilogue, etc.)
Force ghost Anakin visiting Ahsoka
Live-action Rex (and hopefully not just for a death scene)
Chopper and Jacen being best friends🥲
Vader using the word “inertial” to sound smart in front of Thrawn is one of the funniest things I think I’ve ever seen Vader do (and he literally turned Cal Kestis’ double bladed lightsaber around to stab him)

Star Wars: Thrawn: Alliances (2018) pg. 187
Do you think Anakin/Vader ever smiled under his mask? As dramatic as he was, I feel like he probably found humor in situations (albeit likely morbid). I've read hundreds of fanfics about Vader, but I'm wondering if there are any canonical instances.
I'll be the first to admit that I've not read *every* SW book, canon or otherwise - so please feel free to enlighten me! Though nicely, please?
Still not normal about this almost two years later.
Okay but the humanity and kindness and empathy to Anakin’s line “I am not your failure,Obi-Wan.” There is so very little good in him,and we have seen it so deeply buried beneath an ocean of hatred and blinding pain. But I am so stuck on this line in particular,the entreaty and wavering earnestness to his voice as he bids Obi-Wan to not blame himself. This is the only real humanity we see in him until Luke,this small moment of Anakin so clearly shining through. It is not Vader’s pain in his voice,it is Anakin’s. We see the yellow recede from his eyes and the rounded, desperation to them as he says the words. It’s such a curious thing,that as much pain and misery he wanted to inflict on Obi-Wan,in this he did not want him to shoulder the blame. This line better than anything in Star Wars so perfectly illustrates that Anakin knows what he did,and he knows what choice he makes every single day. He killed the light within Anakin Skywalker,not Obi-Wan or anyone else. I killed Anakin Skywalker.
"High Risk Red" for the glow of Vader's lightsaber made me laugh out loud. Bit of an understatement.






STAR WARS WEEK ★
@swsource star wars week: day 3 – i'll try spin-offs! – favorite non-skywalker saga media [template]
Star Wars AU where instead of lightsabers the Jedi have folding chairs strapped to their backs at all times. Used exactly the same way as they would use lightsabers.

Darth Vader by Anato Finnstark
i know that this was probably meant to be funny, but this just made me really sad. vader really was fucked over by the emperor. it's fucking scary and tragic that he genuinely loves the emperor because he's all he has.
how do you think luke would factor into this plan with leia? personally, i think it'd be funny if he declared luke emperor, and leia just flashbacks to that time he told her that taxation was stupid.
How do you think Darth Vader would react to Palpatine dying before he turned back to the light? Whether randomly (probably the most funny option, old man falls, breaks his hip, dies of complication) or an alternate ending to ROTJ where Luke doesn't go to Vader and they remain on Endor as Death Star Jr. blows up, I think he would lose it tbh
i've actually always wanted to write something about this because it's fascinating to me the levels of Ungood vader's brain achieves when he has nothing left; in my horribly self-indulgent visions, vader senses palpatine's death and essentially shuts down entirely for a period of time because his brain genuinely cannot process it. the executor shuttles back to coruscant and vader hasn't said a word. he's shuttled through the motions of actually having to fulfill that formerly mostly ceremonial role of heir to the empire, mostly at the behest of tarkin, who i wanted to toy with as someone who might see this as an opportunity to have someone he finds easy to manipulate on the throne. this is about when that inability to comprehend what's happening snaps and vader goes essentially ballistic, and falling to his default move when he's gone ballistic, he murders everyone in the jedi-temple-turned-imperial-palace, barricades himself inside with palpatine's corpse, and tries to entreat the Dark Powers into reanimating palpatine. essentially the imperial powers that are still alive spend weeks trying to figure out how to get in the palace and subdue vader, because, you know, he's the emperor technically and empires are stupid.
in my Grand Vision TM, vader's terror at the idea of a life without even his master - and all of the reality warping he's attempting to do with his evil wizard magic - begins to have a profound and disturbing effect on the palace and the area surrounding it, coruscant's weather, even the citizens surrounding it. it is genuinely like Magic Nuclear Meltdown, except vader is totally unaware that he's bending reality around his stupid broken brain, and kind of begins to completely fucking lose it as the architecture of the palace warps impossibly under magic onslaught. the hallways become winding and press in closer and mold grows in the walls, the wood rots, the stone erodes, the lights break and fizzle, rooms shift and bend impossibly until the world narrows to the one room palpatine's corpse is in. insert disturbing Wrongness Imagery like portraits beginning to lose their subjects, decorative trees leaking blood instead of sap, any animals in the nearby area spontaneously mutating, deforming, etc. people having waking nightmares about burning alive or being locked in what feels like a coffin, etc. everything goes very wrong essentially. i haven't figured out how i'd plan on ending such an idea, but probably i'd want to find a way to introduce obi-wan into the narrative and either have him finally deliver on killing vader or trying to rehabilitate him or..... something. i just think obi-wan would be fun.

Afternoon peeps, for today's motivation is Kylo Ren! He says "I will fulfill our Destiny". Now go and br the man you're destined to be and finish the "work that you started" 😂
