post war no order 66 au where the chips are discovered but they're still working on developing the brain surgery to remove them.
the clones decide to compare how many orders their commander's chips have received. rex and cody are tied for first with 10 each, and considering that most of the clones have 2 max it's a very high number. since the commands tend to be "fall in line"/"follow orders" it's seen that cody and rex are incredibly rebellious/independent clones (but they knew that already).
they're about to call the competition to a close when some guard shines pull a very confused fox into the room.
he's pushed to the front and has the scanner held to his head. there's arguing around the room. rule following fox? the guy who made their lives miserable while getting shore leave on courasant? he probably doesn't even have one!
and then the orders start rolling in. 10. 20. 50. 100. more and more and more appearing and the room is fucking silent. when did he even get the chance to get these orders given to him!?
the room is so quiet they can hear stone oh so quietly say "the chancellor..." and the creak of plastoid as fox's head snaps up. the most recent command still listed on screen.
you will forget that i am the one to give these commands.
oh. oh. the chancellor. he did this... he did everything.
it all makes sense now.
Another 2D Clone Wars Obi-Wan redraw bcs I never stop thinking about this look
Another 2D Clone Wars Obi-Wan redraw bcs I never stop thinking about this look
i think the only kind of codywan i find realistic enough to be interested in is GLACIAL slow burn. they take like three weeks to fit together like cogs made to turn each other and they spend the rest of the three years of the war so instinctually and comfortably in each others space that they forget they haven’t known each other for their entire lives. they act beyond like a married couple and neither one of them ever notices it whatsoever. everyone but them can see it.
obi wan calls cody dear all the time, is always getting him new foods and drinks to try, and even teaches him how to perform basic lightsaber moves since he ends up with the thing so often and might as well know how to use it if the need ever arises, and and neither of them thinks a thing of it. cody mentally catalogues and ranks all of obi wans favorite teas and how to make them, comes to be able to tell when obi wan needs food or rest or a medic and knows just what to say to get him to attend to it, and gets that godforsaken lightsaber clip on his belt and its just another day for them. and when people see all of this and point out that evidence is adding up to either one of them they both are completely genuine when they say, i have no idea what you’re talking about. no one else is doing these things with their general or marshal commander? laughable idea.
i think they would need that post war break in some form whether it follows order 66 or its an AU where it somehow is averted. i think they would need to be faced with the idea of living lives much further removed from each other to finally see it for themselves. and of course for so many reasons both of them would just bury it deep down in the absolute recesses of their heart and mind because it doesn’t matter, and it never has. and they would need to be literally forced back together to be able to address it. and things would have to be different. but once they do address it, it’s like… there’s no real nervousness. there’s hesitance, because once it’s said it can’t be unsaid, but. it’s just putting words to something that’s already there, that’s been there since the beginning. it just feels natural, not even like a next step, just… how it’s supposed to be. with each of them by the other’s side, whatever may come.
and i think it would work because i think they both truly would hold the other to their obligations and responsibilities. they love each other but they’re both level headed, especially with each other, so it follows that they are about each other, too. in the same way that it always had to be that anakin and padme would break the rules and put each other first when they shouldn’t and it causes problems, obi wan and cody both know that the other would be so irreversibly shattered and disappointed to be put over the greater good that they both keep their heads. their relationship is built on understanding and mutual respect for the way the other is committed to all those around them. there’s no jealousy, no possessiveness, no need to prove anything or have anything proven to them, because they’ve always come back to each other before and they always will if it’s right
And one more
I know it's pretty common to talk about the Coruscant Guard as not interacting with Jedi as much as other clones, but I had an idea today that will not let me go.
Corrie Guard and Temple Jedi (ie. creche masters, archivists, younglings)
Mutual understanding of how it feels for their duty to be their work on Coruscant while their people go into battle.
Jedi helping the Guard learn to navigate Coruscant because finding your way around a new city is already a learning curve. When it's a planet-size city that has to be navigated in 3D?
Jedi helping the Guard learn to conduct investigations (a completely different skillset from the combat training they were given).
The Guard sending evidence to the Temple to have it analyzed by the archives.
Jocasta and Fox. I think they'd get along.
The Guard helping the Jedi keep an eye on the Senate.
"Luke proved that attachment was a good thing and that the Jedi were all dogmatic and wrong"
is a take that fundamentally misunderstands both Luke as a character and the entire point behind Star Wars and the Jedi religion.
Luke didn't act out of attachment. If he did he would have killed Palpatine and Vader in a desperate attempt to save his friends.
Let's actually compare this to mister attachment aka Anakin, shall we.
If Anakin was in a position where some guy (for example Dooku) was responsible for Padmé, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Rex etc. being in current life threatening danger, he would have killed that man and anyone who stood in his way. If there was another guy claiming to be his father that might have thrown him off for a bit but in pure rage and terror of what might happen to the people he loves he would have 10000% killed him, father or not (he literally tries to kill his surrogate father / brother out of attachment and greed and later succeeds IN THE MOVIES).
Luke however chooses AGAINST acting out of attachment. He doesn't let his fear for his loved ones control him. The literal moment he crashes out and eventually almost kills Vader is when Vader mentions Leia. His attachment to her led him to react with rage in a desperate attempt to protect her but then he realizes that that's WRONG. That he's playing into Palpatine's hands and giving himself over to the dark side, so he stops. He chooses not to become what Anakin let himself be turned into.
Luke's motivation for saving Vader is not attachment - it's compassion.
Attachment is to act on behalf of yourself. Attachment is choosing your own feelings over what the people you love would want. Attachment is sacrificing everything your wife stood for, choking her to unconsciousness because she doesn't react the way you want her to and trying to kill your own brother out of greed and jealousy. Attachment is selfish love - love that is about YOU and not the people around you.
Compassion is SELFESS love. Compassion is choosing others over yourself. Compassion is valuing the ideals and wants of the people you love - not just wanting to keep them by your side at all cost. Compassion is tossing away your lightsaber and letting yourself get tortured and almost killed because you REFUSE to act out of attachment and let anyone be hurt but yourself. Compassion is also to sacrifice yourself to save your child even though it gains you neither a better future nor him staying in your life.
Luke's compassion motivated Anakin to act out of compassion as well. That's what the movie is about, guys.
TIL “Yankee Doodle” was written by the British to mock americans. “Doodle” is thought to come from the German “dödel”, meaning “fool” or “simpleton” and “macaroni,” a flamboyantly stylish type of dress, painting the Yankees as morons who thought placing a feather in one’s cap made them a “dandy.”
via reddit.com
so you’re telling me that “stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni” would be like saying “wrote a G on his belt and called it gucci”
that’s…a pretty good analogy actually
US moron came to town
Hunting for some coochie
Wrote a G up on his belt
And this bitch called it Gucci
Seeing my notifications get flooded with this every July 4th is the only thing I respect about America
Trooper: Fox! You put my brother in jail. Stand up. Fox, sighing over his drink: I can't deal with this today... Trooper: I said stand up! Fox, groaning: Thorn... Thorn: Finally. Thorn stands up and knocks the trooper out in one punch. Thorn: That di'kut was so annoying. Trooper: Commander Fox! A few months ago, you locked me up for two weeks. Two weeks. Fox, barely listening: Sounds like you did something pretty bad then... Trooper: Listen to me, asshole. Fox, raising a brow: Are you sure you want to talk to me like that? Trooper: That lockup ruined my life, so I'm going to make your life a living-- Fox, smirking: Thire. Thire, stepping between them: Whatever torture you imagined for Commander Fox is going to look like frolicking through a field compared to what I'm going to do to you. Trooper, stepping back: I-I-- Thire: I've had men crying in puddles of their own urine for less than what you just did. Trooper: S-sorry! Fox, chuckling: Keep going. That didn't sound sincere enough for me. Thire: Gladly. Corrie: Commander Fox! I can't stand this anymore! You and your commanders expect too much of us! In my old battalion-- Fox, snorting: They didn't teach you any discipline. It must be hard to have expectations put on you now. Corrie: That's banthashit! They just treated us like-- Stone: Commander Fox? Fox, stepping aside: Be my guest. Stone: Out in the battlefield, their focus is to keep you battle ready. On Coruscant, our focus is to keep you alive. The less you stand out, the less likely it is someone will be able to recognize you, the less likely you are to be decommissioned for the tiniest transgression against a civilian or a senator. Corrie: It's too much! In my old battalion-- Fox, typing on his datapad: I'll be looking into his old battalion after I make the transfer... Corrie: Transfer? Fox: Done. Stone, smirking: You're mine now. Corrie: Y-yours? Fox: Have fun learning some discipline. I'll have fun telling your old marshal commander how you think you can talk to me. Corrie: W-wait! Stone: You better remember how to shut your mouth before I give you a refresher course. Trooper, throwing his helmet down beside Fox: Stand up, prick. Fox, around a mouthful of his dinner: Hound. Hound, standing up: Guess I'm the prick now. Cody, watching Hound tackle the trooper: Force...He's as feral as you are... Fox: All of my men are ready to step in for me when I've had a hard day. I don't know if that makes them feral. Trooper: OW! WHO BITES DURING A FIGHT!? Cody, looking at Fox: ...I can name one person... Fox, to the trooper: His name is Hound. What did you expect?
Got emotional thinking about jedi lineages.
Like. Maybe Ahsoka ties her obis in double knots because that’s how Anakin taught her. He told her it helped them stay on better.
But Anakin does it because that’s how Obi-Wan helped him, the first time he wore the robes that seemed impossibly heavy, with the weight of his new life.
But Obi-Wan only tied it like that because he had seen Qui-Gon do the same, and had desperately wanted to be perfect, so copied his master.
But Qui-Gon only did it out of habit- of all the rules of decorum that Dooku taught him that he ignored, the obi knot had stuck.
But Dooku had been trained by the greatest master of them all, so assumed however Yoda tied his robes was the most correct.
But maybe that is all because, centuries ago, a master whose name the rest of them will never know, taught his tiny padawan to double knot his obis, because they just never fit right.
And Ahsoka will never know that she got this from a jedi who lived in a totally different world from her, who she never knew and would never know her, but the legacies are there, no matter how small. And I bet every lineage has a handful of them.
I just… the jedi leave behind their blood ancestors, but they still have things running in their families.
Clones speaking Mando’a
Pretty soon most of the clones figured out that they could say things in Mando’a if they didn’t want their jedi to know (e.g.: complaining about their recent missions, gossiping about the Jedi, etc)
*in the Coruscant clone barracks mess hall*
Waxer *in Mando’a*: “oh my stars, why do the jedi just throw themselves around so recklessly?”
Cody *also in Mando’a*: “seriously, i have to work so hard keeping Obi Wan from jumping in to stop every fight he sees. It’s so tiring.”
Rex: “at least your Jedi stays with you, half the time i don’t even know where Anakin and Ahsoka are, let alone what they are doing.”
Cody: “yes, but they have each other. Obi Wan tried to fistfight a commando droid after he lost his lightsaber. Its an absolute nightmare trying to keep him from dying.”
Obi wan, who has been standing behind them the entire time *in perfect Mando’a*: “really Cody, it’s rather rude to speak ill of someone in a different language, i expected better from you.”
Cody *pales rapidly*: “…”
Rex *shaking from barely contained laughter*
Can you imagine if Qui-Gon lived and Anakin and Obi-Wan were actually brother-padawans without any of the Master-apprentice-father figure baggage? They would be absolute menaces.*
- Young Anakin develops a habit of sitting on Obi-Wan when he wants to bug him. This is funny when he's 11 but much more threatening and hilarious at 21
- Obi-Wan refuses to cooperate with medical during the Clone wars and full grown General Knight Skywalker just sits on him saying something like "stop being so stubborn, don't make me call Qui-Gon on your short ass" (Anakin will use their height difference against Obi-Wan at any opportunity)
- "Don't make me call Qui-Gon" is how they keep each other in line. It works on both of them no matter how old. Qui-Gon isn't sure how to take this but he thinks it's positive
- on the flip side, they'll both do something stupid and follow up with "not a word to Qui-Gon"
- The absolute blatant disrespect goes both ways. Other Jedi are shocked when the serene unflappable Master Kenobi casually calls the Chosen One Himself 'ten kinds of a spice addled idiot' and flicks him when anakin is being annoying
- Obi-Wan is in a council meeting and he misses a call from Anakin, somehow the message plays out loud and it's just "pick up your comm nerf herder"
- on a softer side, Anakin sometimes stays over at Obi-Wan's knight quarters when things are tense with Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan knows what it's like being 'too angry/too emotional/too old' to be a 'proper' padawan, and he knows what it's like being apprenticed to the well-meaning disaster that is Qui-Gon, so he can offer support that both helps Anakin feel better and keeps him out of Skeevy Sheevy's claws
- Qui-Gon also needs a lot more recuperating after being shish kabobed, so Obi-Wan takes over some of Anakin's basic training. He still insists he doesn't like Anakin at this point even while gently guiding him through katas and motherhenning him about eating vegetables
Idk these are just some things off the top of my head but I would kill for this dynamic
*you know, more than the are in Canon.
Master and Apprentice or The Disaster Lineage
I drew the middle two at the start of the year, inspired by the Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest novels. For Tales of the Jedi I decided to bookend them with Dooku and Qui-gon and Anakin and Ahsoka.
Artists note: I decided to depict Obi-Wan using Qui-Gons lightsaber as I like to think he used it for a few years before building a new hilt, in remembrance of his master.
May the force be with you 💫
(Happy Star Wars Day!)
Luminous beings we are, not this crude matter.
