commission for @oleanderedits!

(commissions are open!)

My Imperial!Luke AU, for which this commission was done, has now been updated to ensure screen reader compatibility.

I have tested it with Pericles on Firefox, as well as Firefox's reader mode.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

About the Series:

Being primarily transcripts, articles, personal notes, interviews and observations about Imperial Prince Luke Skywalker, son of Lord Darth Vader, and first Heir to the Throne of the Galactic Empire founded by Emperor Sheev Palatine on Empire Day (Day 1 AFE), gathered in an attempt to document and understand his sudden and volcanic rise in popularity and position within the Galactic Empire in his earliest years as requested by the Royal Department of Historical Records.

The series is presented in a fractured, non-linear, epistolary style and has a custom work skin important for the formatting for screen-reader compatibility without compromising (too much) the visual formatting for people who don't use screen readers or reader mode.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980) Dir. Irvin Kershner

My favourite fucked up guy

Speedpaint under the cut as usual (crusty quality my bad)

Not exactly happy with how this turned out but I just need to get over it and move on to the next drawing

I want to read fics about the Temple being haunted as fuck, and giving Sidious and Vader hell after a few years of them getting settled into the building after O66.

The younglings are here for Revenge! Or at least they would be, but revenge is not the Jedi way, and also (more importantly) Skywalker just got electrocuted like eight times, and it just... it just kinda feels like kicking a dog that's already down.

So instead of yelling and screaming and crying, to guilt him and also keep him from sleeping, they just kind of... stand around in dark corners watching him. (This isn't much better in most cases, but Vader's already so fucked up and has terrible eyesight so he kind of just thinks he's hallucinating out of guilt. It's almost true.)

Meanwhile, older Jedi ghosts deal with Sidious, because he's more likely to know how to do an exorcism, and given how completely awful a Sith Exorcism must be, they'd rather the older ghosts go through it than the youngling ghosts.

I feel like the youngling ghosts just poke Vader with phantasm sticks a whole bunch. It's very 'are you still alive mister??? You look like crap,' and yes he does because he's in the fucking bacta tank and once got set on fire with all his limbs chopped off, he is in terrible shape and his boss tortures him for funsies and then does unhinged medical experiments on him for no reason.

Imagine your life being so terrible that the literal children you slaughtered, the children who trusted you and now know you're a monster, feel sorry for you because the amount of torture you deal with is just. It's kinda pathetic? Like. They were in the single digits and he killed them and they still feel sorry for him. His life sucks so much that they don't even try to properly haunt him, he's that bad at existing.

#tw child death #it’s not the jedi way sure but also they’re kids #it’s one thing and then another #and now this thing means they can do fun force tricks and they dont have to eat or sleep and can just play and goof #and sometimes they see this sad man who hurt them #and they think they should be angry #but hes already so miserable #and theres a cloud of grief around him thats complex and frightening to children who cant quite understand it #but its there and they cant think of ways to make him feel worse than he does #one day hes floating in the bacta tank after a fun bout of electrocution and experimentation and a particularly young ghost #starts talking to him #and Vader is out of it okay #so he just...tells the kid everything #how he tried to trade their lives for his child's and it didnt work #how his wife who he loved to obsession was lost and he knows its his own fault #bc he doesnt know how to love by halfs and he doesnt know how to hold onto all the grief and pain in him #theres just anger..a pool of it so big it drowns him #and hes so deep he cant even see that its despair #and this little kid listens and doesnt understand half of it but says #do you still want to tear the world down for what it did to you or are you just continuing how you started? #and there’s a proverb they learn about ruts in a road #about following a way because youve walked it so many times before or bc you're following the path laid out before you #and theres the story of a jedi who feels unease on the path #she follows it bc thats where those who feel the force are supposed to go #but she's not so certain #and one day she's so tired of going in circles on a path that seems to work for everyone else that she steps away from it #follows the pull of Force that feels right after so long of ignoring it #and the story ends with her saving somebody or something #but Anakin just remembers being 10 and hearing this story and thinking about pod racing and trusting his instincts more than anything else #and Vader wonders when he stopped trusting himself so badly that he couldn't be sure it was even himself he distrusted (via @the-pigeon-king)

I don't think Jocasta Nu gets enough credit for this moment where she purges the entire Jedi Archive data to keep the Empire from being able to access that trove of knowledge for their purposes:

It's just the valor of surviving Order 66, somehow, impossibly getting away, and yet still coming back into her gutted home-turned-tomb to do this excruciating, ultimate act of sacrifice. Destroying this last physical manifestation of her people's culture, identity, and her own life's work. It's such a Jedi moment: letting something deeply important go, not out of apathy or coldness, but to protect others.

Jocasta as a character is so defined by her exchange in AotC, telling Obi-Wan that if something isn't in the Jedi Archives, it doesn't exist. So many fans have interpreted that as to stand for the arrogance of the Jedi, not the pride in her life's work collecting and maintaining a resource as incredible and massive as the Jedi Archives. I think this act is even more powerful answer to those charges; far from Jocasta Nu being a posterchild for the Jedi doggedly clinging to an institution for the sake of itself, she's willing to throw all of that away in an instant if it means one less weapon for the Empire.

"Do you think after his father was going to kill him Isaac ever felt safe in his bed?

Do you think when his father took him out to plow the land if he ever wondered if his father was going to turn on him then?

Do you think when he saw a ram he was reminded that his life was worth that of a sheep?

Do you think every time he caught his reflection in the steel while sharpening his knife he wondered...

¿Why he was worth so little that his father couldn't even finish the job?"

This little guy arrived. What a wonderful gift to be given. When I played Jedi: Survivor and it had the Blaster Stance with the lightsaber, I couldn't help but feel like that was totally Luke's combat stance during the ESB era. Look at him go vroom-vroom and pew-pew.
