star wars: the rise and fall of darth vader
THE FACT THAT TARKIN IS SO BATSHIT EVEN VADER THINKS HE'S FUCKING CRAZY IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT EVER - "vader had long suspected that grand moff tarkin was insane" LITERALLY SHUT UP
The fact that Vader is the voice of reason here is fucking bananas. How batshit you have to be to have Darth “You know what will solve this problem? Child murder ” Vader go “this guys nuts.”
I know padme’s friends were tired. oh so you’re marrying the hormonal teenage space monk who lives halfway across the galaxy that the you’ve seen a total of two months in the last ten years? are we sure this is love or do you just think he’s hot? bc you’re a queen turned senator and he’s emotionally stunted and in a cult. maybe we should at least wait until he cuts off that rat tail perchance?
You’re so right 😂
don't have time to draw something new for his special day so here's an old one reposted
I’ve heard from a lot of people that, when making a Star Wars OC, they get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of species and they have trouble choosing just one. So, at 3am about a week ago, I had the idea to put together a flowchart to help make that decision easier! I picked out 75 different species, both the well-known and the more obscure from both canon and legends, and grouped them by everything from the shape of their horns to the number of arms they have. I tried my best to have it be coherent and make sense, so hopefully there’s some use for it!
Links to info and (for some) videos showing off the species are below the cut. Some species have less than others to go off of, so I apologize in advance if I can’t find much. Hope this helps, though! :D
Keep reading
Since deciding species for Star Wars OCs is stupid hard (there’s just way to many to choose from), I made this to help narrow down some options! It’s not really fanart—or even very artsy, for that matter—but maybe someone will get some use out of it nonetheless! :D

obi-wan 99 problems amv
So my beta reader for the Big Fics is an astrophysicist, right. Who is currently also writing a hard sci-fi novel about the exploration of Phobos (more power to them, I cannot with the physics required for that, best I can do is soft sci-fi/fantasy and that reminds me I should finish that story).
Anyway I was bitching about how hard it is to come up with feasible planets in Star Wars because sometimes you need a new planet from scratch and sometimes you need to know more about a planet than the 'has jungles, is probably a moon technically' than Wookieepedia will give you, and they're like 'oh yeah I can do something about that'.
So they've written (in Matlab but they swear it will run as a .exe as well and I may be conscripted to embed it as a web tool at some point) a star system generator.
You input what you know about the planet (ecosystem, population, sun colour, does it have liquid water, does it have a moon or moons, is it a moon or moons, temperature averages, atmosphere, you get me) and it will give you the... everything else about the star system, in obedience to real-universe physics. And if you input nothing you get a randomly generated star system.
And I’m like oh I know people who will be into this with a vengeance, and they're not on Tumblr, so this is me seeing who exactly would be keen on, and I cannot stress this enough, a real-physics comprehensive star system generator.
It's still in the debugging phase (last error fixed: every planet wants to have a population of exactly 5000 regardless of other factors, turned out to be a missing equals sign somewhere), but I'm psyched for this and trying to gauge interest for how high a priority 'make this an accessible web tool' needs to be.

Happy May the Fourth! I added a second page to this comic from last year!
“And how do you plan to deal with this delay, Lord Vader?”
tbh I really don’t know how to headcanon obi-wan’s position in the empire if he was a sith. He would have more power over Vader (not necessarily by rank), that’s for sure.
“Throughout the tirade, the visitors had sat silently. Now Anakin’s hand strayed in the direction of his lightsaber. A hint of a smile from his Master was all that was necessary to still the movement. Not that Anakin cared particularly whether Ansion stayed in the Republic or not. The convoluted machinations of galactic politics were still a mystery to him. It was the insult to his Master that caused the anger to rise within him. Now he force himself to remain calm–because his Master wished that he be so.” –The Rising Storm by Alan Dean Foster
@intermundia‘s tags are correct:
actually the more i think about it the more I feel that that was an amazing line for maul. i dont like when stories frame the desire for revenge as inherently selfish, self destructive paths of rage (especially when the revenge clearly comes from a systemic lack of justice). First because of the parenthetical reason -- I personally am not against righteous anger and violence against an abuser as part of the process of healing. A theme like "there's no justice and nothing can be done to or about the person who hurt you, and if you seek to stop them, then there's actually something morally wrong with you and your anger, though initially empathetic, is actually a force equally as destructive as the initial harm. give up!" has been done to death (which is why I love the kdrama The Glory, but I digress).
Back to the main points. Self destruction can and does happen of course, but I also like when the person seeking revenge is thinking about other potential victims and trying to stop further abuses from happening, as Maul says in the latest episode. Now there's a protective, selfless layer to the vengeance that makes it more nuanced than what we typically get. We also get an added layer of friction -- Maul has now hurt a lot of people in order to protect others. He's been trying to groom another child (Devon) essentially in order to stop children from getting groomed and abused. He's continuing the cycle of violence even if he's fighting/tells himself he's fighting to stop it.
Maul’s continual BEGGING for an apprentice is the funniest fucking thing. He is on his hands and knees swearing he’ll feed and water and walk it and meanwhile the force is like “no you’re not responsible enough yet”
Because of how Anakin was frustrated in my head there is this kiss, no one will tell me otherwise.
the fact that “the vibes here are rancid” is a power that the jedi actually have is insane to me
can you imagine being a normal dude and you’re getting help from this jedi, and this jedi dude’s like “head’s up, the next five minutes have the worst vibes imaginable” and you’re like “why?” and the jedi dude’s like “inscrutable cosmic power told me so, doesn’t get more specific than that”
like all these weird little men in weird little robes with glowy swords do is meditate because they have sorcerer-induced anxiety. yoda’s always fucking meditating on his little pillow because he has to figure out if he’s nauseous because the arcane will of all life itself is speaking through his midichlorians to warn him or if he just ate a bad burrito for lunch. the force is constantly dunking on these weird little men and telling them “something bad’s going to happen” and never explaining what’s going to happen. do you sense bad vibes because your washing machine is about to break and flood your apartment, or because the government you serve is about to turn into a dictatorship and mow your ass like grass? that’s for you to figure out
mace windu has Double Anxiety because every now and then he gets a pop-up that tells him when he is making a Significant Visual Novel Protag Choice
The Force: This Action Will Have Consequences!
Windu, downing three space ambien: great
I think that “Anakin was a slave child who was groomed by Palpatine and raised by someone who wasn’t ready to take on a child, thereby leaving him in a social limbo state where he’s surrounded by people but only has a few close confidants, with the one he trusts the most actively trying to take advantage of him”
and
“Anakin was taught right from wrong from a young age, first by his mother and then by Kenobi, but any time he was presented with a choice, actively CHOSE WRONG EVERY SINGLE TIME”
are two sentences that can, should, and MUST coexist to fully understand Anakin Skywalker as a character
Sorry I spaced out I was remembering how SW Novels!Obi-Wan is canonically familiar with the sight of Anakin’s butt and canonically took it upon himself to smack said butt during a public sparring session and canonically holds some measure of resentment towards Anakin’s wife and canonically confesses his love for Anakin to everyone but Anakin and canonically refers to him in his own internal monologue as “quite beautiful” and as his “beautiful friend” and canonically takes note of how Anakin’s neck blushes when he’s worked up and has canonically said the words “every good boy deserves a treat” to Anakin and I was wondering what all that was for
crazy how anakin and obi-wan go through this incredibly tragic arc where they were both doomed from the beginning and destroy each other and suffer for decades and then almost as a footnote they get THE happiest ending in all of star wars?? like they’re canonically together in the force forever and their happy ending is 100% undiluted and unmitigated?? and there’s no indication anything will ever disrupt that?? hello?
Thinking about how Luke basically saves the galaxy with heartfelt diplomacy, and Leia gets to strangle a Tatooine crime lord to death with a giant chain, and given their respective backgrounds probably no one would have correctly guessed which of them would go on to do which deed.
