You know what? I’m tired of phrasing it any more nicely than this:Â
If you think the premeditated and near-complete destruction of an entire groupe of people and the hunting down of any survivors and sympathizers (including children and the elderly) by stormtroopers was meant to be a commentary on the people who got exterminated rather than the guys commanding the stormtroopers, you are, in fact, not thinking.Â
you're owen lars. your father has fallen in love with a woman and she's enslaved. you and your father aren't rich, but eventually you manage to free her. this one woman. one woman on a planet full of injustices.
you're owen lars. the woman you call mom had another child once. it doesn't make her love you less, but she talks about him in a way that makes it clear that she loved him, too. he's off to be a jedi now and she's very proud.
you're owen lars. your mother's been kidnapped and you have to assume the worst. a man and a woman step into your home and the man announces himself to be that kid who went off to become a jedi. he knows you less than you know him and before anything else can happen, he takes off to bring back his mother, a feat you think is impossible.
you're owen lars. anakin skywalker brings your mom's corpse to your doorstep. her funeral is interrupted by a message of utmost galactic importance.
you're owen lars. your brother is dead. you never saw him again after that first time. there is another jedi on your doorstep, with a baby in his arm and you know what it means and you can't bring yourself to face him as he hands your nephew off to your wife.
you're owen lars. obi-wan ben kenobi is a pain in the ass. he was more your brother's brother than you ever were and he doesn't understand your particular kind of grief, is drowning in his own. you don't even know the full story and kenobi will never tell you all of it. but you have a child to care for so you tell him off and get back to work.
you're owen lars. you didn't know your brother, but you know your nephew and your nephew wants out of this place as soon as possible. you know he won't be safe out there but in the end you're helpless to stop him. and you know the stories, you remember the one time you met him, the days your mother died. and you do this for her and you do this for your father and you do this for your brother and you do this for your nephew.
you're owen lars. your last act is to protect your brother's child. your child.
You're Owen Lars. You unknowingly raised a child to be the spitting image of his father's better nature while ensuring he was never hurt by the things that created his father's darker half. Your child saves the lives of billions, redeems your brother, and brings him back from the abyss that by all rights should have consumed him. You were and are a dilligent, loving, caring father, and for that you have saved the galaxy.
fanfiction is getting less interaction, people barely reblog anymore, role players are getting pushed out of fandom, ai generated slop winning art contests
START ENGAGING IN THINGS YOU LOVE BEFORE IT DISAPPEARS!
STOP. BEING. A. CONSUMER. START. ENGAGING. IN. THE. PLAY.
Anakin: Look at my new padawan Ahsoka
Obi-wan, the entire clone army and the fandom:
Amakenna script. Numbers are in huttese because if you are to buy yourself you have to know how much you are worth, and whatever symbols were used previously, you have to know based off depur.
Friendly reminder that when fanfics talk about Anakin's slavery, and sometimes mention that by killing the Jedi children in the temple he saved them from a life of slavery, it's not a writer's imagination, it's real. Margaret Garner was a black slave who preferred to kill her daughter rather than have her live as a slave and there are apparently many stories like that that we don't know about.
Anakin didn't pretend to save this children from slavery, he just killed potential ennemies. The kid were free
New Amavikka god just dropped. And I am so ficking obsessed with this idea. Like yes, the personification of the night, goddess of secrets and safety. Bringer of community for the night is when people can safely gather. The one that hides escapes and carries little freedoms of her own. I’m screeching rn.
anyway, expect more ramblings about Nittu in the future. Am a little obsessed
Idea: Force Ghosts change with what… shall we say version of the person you’re getting - from their point of view.
Luke sees Old Ben because that’s how Obi-Wan sees himself in that moment, he’s Old Ben talking to Luke with all the wisdom he’s gained over the decades.
Luke sees Young Anakin Skywalker because that’s how Anakin sees himself. He’s no longer Vader, but once again the little-bit-broken Knight he was during the Clone Wars, he still made horrible mistakes, even then, and he can’t erase the pain he’s brought (see, the Sand People slaughter them, and the whole Vader thing), but not completely fallen. He’s redeemed. There’s once again Light.
Idk I like the idea that something happens and Luke, Din, Grogu, and Boba all end up seeing teenager Obi-Wan. Fresh from the Clan Wars, stolen Beskar’gam, snarling and spitting mad. I think that’d be fun. Or seeing Kenobi Show era Ben meeting Leia again.
Luke and Leia seeing their father as an awkward Padawan, snarking at Obi-Wan. Anakin apologizing to Ahsoka, telling her his Fall wasn’t her fault, it was never her fault, he doesn’t blame her for leaving, she was always so bright and he’s so proud of her.
It’s still them, they’ve got all their memories up until their deaths, but people are multifaceted and trauma is trauma and the form a Force Ghost is in is directly related to how the past affects them.
tusken luke skywalker is such a fucking god tier au to me. obviously he still has the same parents etc BUT a’sharad hett is with obi-wan and is like. uh. maybe we should NOT simply dump him with his relatives. you know the ones vader has literally spoken to in person before? yeah those. and obi-wan’s like well okay then what do you think we should do and a’sharad goes “tuskens.” so they take him to a tusken tribe near owen and beru and a’sharad’s like listen up guys how would you like a new kid and they’re like oh hell yeah new kid. and owen and beru are still around, luke still knows them and stuff but he’s like. tusken.
This would be so interesting because he would get raised on Tusken cultural mores and also Tusken cultural memory, which means he probably does know a whole collective of Tusken people were essentially genocided something like three or four years before he was born, and it wasn't Darth Vader then, it was a guy carrying a lightsaber.
And then, of course, he meets Obi-Wan and gets the lightsaber so when he sees it he freaks the fuck out because, you know, cultural death icon, and Obi-wan is all "wtf" so Luke has to explain this to him and he's like "wtF???" because, like, he knows that Jedi don't do that so it's him and Luke now backtracking their way through a bunch of carefully preserved oral histories and a whole slew of rumours until they arrive at the time and place, which is, of course, a nexus near Owen and Beru Lars, who are super duper awkward about it, and while they don't know for a fact what happened, they definitely have enough dark suspicions that they just don't want to talk about it and find out that it's true.
But, you know, a mystical hermit and a Tusken have now shown up and their doorstep demanding answers and they really don't want any trouble, so they kind of reluctantly tell what they do know, and who was involved.
And then Obi-Wan turns and marches out into the desert without a word and somehow, Luke isn't sure how, just keeps walking until he finds the place, the ruins, barely extant in the shifting sands anymore.
"This is where," Obi-Wan breathed. "This was where he fell into Darkness. Right here, and so early. And I never saw it. I was blinded."
So Luke, who has been shadowing Obi-Wan all day and is getting increasingly worried about things like dehydration asks. "Who was he?"
And then Obi-Wan kneels down in the sand and say in a grim voice. "My student. My brother. Your father. In case you are wondering, that darkness in the air, that bleeds and screams? That's what you need to avoid."
Luke digests this silently.
Then he says "What an absolute bastard. Glad I'm not in that family anymore. I am a Tusken by rite, oath and deed."
Obi-Wan can admit, he has to kind of agree.
Boba and Omega weren't allowed to meet in canon because Omega would have destroyed him with her drip, the power of friendship, and also her laser bow
Boba: how the kriff are we even related
Omega: *ready to heal her brother’s trauma of seeing their father die through the power of found family* You see when a cloner takes two chromosomes…
You know? I don't think Kyber is actually that hard to make.
Like... the physical Crystal part.
I think, much like Force Sensitives? It's the luminous soul quality that makes the difference between True Kyber and just... rock. You can TOTALLY make Kyber CRYSTAL. Make a LOT of it, probably. The machines totally exsist to MAKE lab grown stones. But what you NEED?
Is a FORCE WELL. A Nexus.
Some DEEP pit of power to soak it in.
For a long, LONG time. Like the change of carbon to diamond. Crystals turn to Kyber. And? THATS why there are TESTS at Kyber mines. Because that's just what HAPPENS at concentrations of Force welling.
This one? Just happens to be mineral rich. Instead of... like? Up a tree.
But? That totally MEANS? You could, in theory? Seed Nexus points! All throughout the galaxy! HEAVILY. Especially if you worried the Natural mines might become compromised.
After all? You may not live to rest in the shade of the tree you plant, but SOMEONE will. And that still matters. Setting up Kyber development or caches, for generations to come. For children you'll never meet. Like planting STARS.
No matter HOW hard the Sith search, they'll never find ALL of them. So there will still be LIGHT. Waiting to be found.
Bet you could hide Jedi philosophy too. With it all. God only knows, the SITH riddled the stars with their damn temples and junk. Why NOT spread the light? Carve it into everything corner? Here! Have a kyber, some jedi teachings, and love from the past. I believe in you!
Just a quite bit of work. Found fucking EVERYWHERE. After the fall.
Impossible to censor. Impossible to erase. Copied and copied until their tale is endless, known to all. Just? How very JEDI? To fuck over the Sith? Not with violence. Oh no. But with gifts to the future. Lessons for children to come. Love and compassion. And, of course, believing in the Force.

""Padawan" means "learner,” suggesting a deep philosophical foundation, encouraging Jedi to continually strive to learn and understand. A Padawan studies not only facts and information, but also the ideas of fluidity and flexibility, and the act of learning itself so as to be open to understanding. Some Jedi scholars consider "Padawan" to be a state of mind rather than a title. Many a Knight has found themself revisiting the path of the Padawan to recover the balance they lost or never really had in the first place." "Most non-Jedi do not realize that the title of Padawan represents the idea of learning and the many paths to learning. Knights and even Masters sometimes "become” Padawans again in order to get back to basics. To "open your mind as if a Padawan" means to rid oneself of preconceived notions or biases and to see things in a fresh, perhaps innocent, light. Although it is a metaphorical lesson, a few have taken this idea literally. All initiates hear the story of the Jedi Master Val Isa, who repeatedly took on the title of Padawan, often testing the patience of her Knights with annoying, “obvious” questions, only to come across a hidden wisdom, enlightening them both." [Star Wars: Rise of the Separatists] GOD THE PREQUELS SECTION OF THIS BOOK HAS SOME ABSOLUTE GEMS OF WORLDBUILDING.
Okay so you know how kids are really good at blurting out your insecurities? And you know how one of the signs of a force child is them being uncannily knowing about people? What I'm saying is imagine some master having just the worst fucking day and going to the crech because sometimes you just gotta color with some kids. And just being read to fith by some well meaning kid in front of the entire next generation of jedi. This happens twice a week.
Jedi who know they’re focusing on an insecurity with their mind healer but just can’t for the life of them figure out what it is they’re insecure about go to the Crèche to take advantage of this.
the jedi adopting children: the name your parents gave you is important, and it's what you'll be called throughout your life. here are some outfits from your homeworld if you want them. if it matters to your people that you be taught by one of them, your master will be from the same species as you. you can go to your planet for major traditions and rites of passages as you grow up.
the empire, ripping babies from the arms of their mothers: hey newly nameless infant, mind if we sand down your horns and gouge out your eye so you'll look more human? here's the black outfit.
time travel AU where everyone who got killed by darth vader gets sent back in time
just a bunch of jedi including younglings, a handful of rebels who pissed him off enough, padmé and sabé, a bunch of imps, and a whole tribe of tuscans waking up together after being choked out or cut up by laser sword
I can’t figure out when would be funniest for them to arrive
Do you think Jedi younglings also had to memorize random anatomy facts? Like the midichlorian is the powerhouse of the force type facts?
