I’m not getting back into Star Wars per se but I really do need some fics. My history got deleted a few years ago and therefore so did most of my favorite Star Wars fics.

Can someone recommend some?

Preferably gen, definitely PRO JEDI and Obi-Wan is my favorite.

[qui-gun-jinn]

This started off as "oh haha yeah, i can find a few"

It grew into me going through like seven pages of my bookmarked fics and grabbing for anything that might fit your desires

Not sure if you care if they are complete or not, i know some people don't read fics unless they are complete, but I am not one of them lol. I did mark them with whether they were complete or not and I'm trying to add a bit of info without spoiling anything, and I'm also including the rating

The first two on the list are my absolute favorites fics that I immediately thought of when I saw your request. Outside of that, there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to the order. There is a whole lot of variety, so I hope theres at least a couple you like.

[stars-kenobi]

love is stored in the jedi

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

proshippers are so sexy actually. I love people who don't harass other people over fictional characters

[superbrieflightstudentlove]

Padmé Amidala vs Leia Organa

Padmé and Leia are often treated as “the same archetype” when in reality they are moral opposites wearing similar costumes.

A side-by-side autopsy

1. Moral authority vs moral responsibility

Padmé

Positions herself as the voice of conscience

Assumes moral clarity is self-evident

Frames disagreement as moral failure

Believes intentions matter more than outcomes

Crucially:

Exempts herself from her own standards

Believes love creates a private moral jurisdiction

When Anakin confesses mass murder:

She soothes

She rationalizes

She keeps the secret

That is moral abdication, not compassion.

Leia

Does not assume moral infallibility

Understands leadership as burden, not righteousness

Treats morality as something that must survive pressure

When someone crosses a line:

She confronts them

She demands accountability

She does not protect them from consequences

Leia’s ethics are:

“If I excuse this for you, I excuse it for everyone.”

That’s actual integrity.

2. Relationship to power

Padmé

Grew up with institutional power

Trusts systems even as they decay

Believes persuasion will always prevail

Is blind to how power warps intimacy

With Anakin:

Treats his power as emotional reassurance

Minimizes its danger

Separates “personal” from “political” when it benefits her

This is how authoritarians get normalized.

Leia

Grew up under imperial violence

Learned early that power lies, corrupts, and seduces

Never confuses personal loyalty with political judgment

With Han / Luke:

Never cedes moral agency

Never allows power to excuse behavior

Never lets love override the mission

Leia understands:

Love without limits becomes tyranny.

3. Attachment style (this is the big one)

Padmé — anxious-enabling attachment

Bonds through emotional intensity

Feels needed when stabilizing others

Confuses loyalty with silence

Sacrifices boundaries to preserve intimacy

Her love says:

“I will protect you from the world.”

Which is poison when the person is the threat.

Leia — secure-confrontational attachment

Bonds through shared struggle and trust

Allows conflict without fear of abandonment

Sets boundaries even when it hurts

Accepts separation if values diverge

Her love says:

“I will stand with you — but I won’t lie for you.”

That’s adult love.

4. Reaction to trauma in partners

Padmé

Responds to Anakin’s trauma by absorbing it

Becomes his emotional regulator

Enables regression

Avoids destabilizing confrontation

This creates:

dependency

escalation

isolation from corrective forces

She becomes his emotional narcotic.

Leia

Acknowledges trauma without surrendering agency

Encourages resilience, not dependence

Allows others to struggle without rescuing them

With Han:

She does not chase him when he runs

She does not beg him to stay

She lets him choose growth

That’s why he actually grows.

5. Their impact on the men they love

Padmé → Anakin

Reinforces his worst fears

Validates secrecy

Shields him from accountability

Deepens his isolation

She unintentionally:

makes his fall easier.

Leia → Luke / Han

Challenges assumptions

Demands clarity

Forces moral articulation

Refuses emotional shortcuts

She unintentionally:

makes them better.

6. The ultimate test: what happens when love conflicts with morality?

Padmé

Chooses love. Every time.

Even when:

democracy is dying

children are being slaughtered

her partner is unraveling

Her silence becomes complicity.

Leia

Chooses morality. Every time.

Even when:

it costs her happiness

it isolates her

it breaks her heart

Her loyalty is to principles first — then people.

Final diagnosis

Padmé is not evil. She is morally complacent under intimacy.

Leia is not cold. She is ethically anchored under pressure.

Padmé believes love justifies exception. Leia believes love must survive scrutiny.

And that’s why:

Padmé helps create Darth Vader

Leia helps create Luke Skywalker

Same lineage. Radically different outcomes.

All my homies love Mace Windu, nobody could ever convince me to hate Mace Windu, coolest Jedi out there, Mace Windu please come save me from this fandom

[angelseraphines]

something very interesting about the fight on mustafar is that anakin tried to use the same move on obi-wan that obi-wan used during the duel of the fates.

after obi-wan kenobi got up after falling from the ledge, darth maul had the high ground but obi-wan managed to leap high over him and take maul down, and he was successful in winning the duel. obi-wan was not even a jedi knight during this time, but a padawan.

in contrast to the duel of the fates, during the fight on mustafar, obi-wan kenobi had the high ground and warned anakin to surrender because of this advantage. anakin ignored him and tried to do what obi-wan did during the duel of the fates, leap over him and take him down, only he failed and obi-wan defeated him.

essentially what i am trying to say is that obi-wan kenobi is the goat and (in my opinion) the best jedi in star wars!! the chosen one couldn’t even do something that obi-wan kenobi did as a padawan so!!

[thatsthewrongwallcraig]

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

[antianakin]

People are SLEEPING on the most interesting Leia & Padme comparisons because there's so much focus on Leia being "like Anakin" because she gets annoyed sometimes and Padme being this perfect moral beacon of truth and justice despite all of her very canonical lies and cover-ups and obstructing of justice.

If Luke is the Jedi that Anakin should've been, then Leia is the LEADER that Padme should've been.

Padme is a hypocrite, proclaiming that all people deserve basic decency and the right to safety, but at the same time allowing Anakin to get away with a mass murder with no consequences by covering it up.

Leia doesn't even let Han get away with being a little bit of an asshole, there's no way she'd let him get away with mass murder. She holds everyone around her to a higher standard, believing in the best of them but also but refusing to accept excuses for cowardice and selfishness.

Padme talks so much about wanting the war to end, but then allows one of the opposition's biggest generals go free just to get Anakin back because she cares about him, causing the war to continue to go on for even longer.

Leia lets Luke sacrifice himself because she knows it's possibly the only way they might have a victory and beat the Empire, even though she knows what he is to her and loves him. She knows what has to be done and respects the choice Luke is making and would never condemn their efforts just to keep him with her.

Padme's story parallels Anakin's, she devolves as the narrative goes on, until she's barely a shell of the person she used to be. That strength and moral clarity she showed as a Queen is entirely gone, leaving only a scared woman pleading with a murderer to come back to her.

Leia's story parallels Luke's, she gains more and more strength and clarity as the narrative moves forward. The bossy young woman we first met has become a confident rebel leader who knows she doesn't have to harden her heart to be strong.

[threebea]

Jedi: teach emotional regulation, responsibility to their power, and a duty to help others.

Politicians: sell out democracy, allow a genocide. Applaud for a dictator.

The Jedi teachings are so corrupt! It's their fault entirely that the Republic fell!

[short-wooloo]

Jedi teachings: work for thousands of years, very few fall to the dark side relative to the rest of the population

"There's something intrinsically wrong with Jedi teachings which causes so many to turn to the dark side!"

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

A common argument against the Jedi is how they "take in children young so they are easily indoctrinated, that's why they refused Anakin!"

But the argument falls apart the moment you hold it under a bit of scrutinity.

George Lucas' statements aside (I understand there are people that don't consider them canon and I don't need them to prove my point), there are two people (in canon, I don't know about Legends) the Jedi refused to train because they were too old: Luke and Anakin Skywalker.

Luke and Anakin are tested by the Masters (well, only Yoda is there to test Luke but you get the point), which they wouldn't do if age was an immediate disqualifier.

Anakin fails said test spectaculary. He doesn't answer questions, says things that while technically true are not what the Council is asking about ("cold, sir") and deflects and gets defensive ("what does that have to do with anything?!"). Considering being mindful of one's feelings is a basic Jedi teaching, this doesn't paint Anakin's future as a Jedi in a good light. Anakin's reaction is perfectly understandable, yes, but that's irrelevant, he is not qualified to be a Jedi (which by no means makes little nine year old Ani a bad person). Considering what happens in the future *gestures to ROTS, Order 66 and the future Inquisitors*, I think they are spot on: Anakin isn't Jedi material (again, nothing wrong with that, long as he doesn't go become a Jedi Knight).

Luke, however, passes, if just barely. He's impatient and there are many things he needs to work on if he truly wants to be a Jedi, his upbringing (being raised exclusively by parents/auncles instead of a community) works against him, but he does show some promise.

And guess what happens?

The Jedi train both of them anyways.

[short-wooloo]

On a related note, I've seen people use Luke along with Ezra and Rey as proof that the Jedi are wrong and you can train older people, and this just misses the point

1. It's not that you can't train older people, rather it is that doing so is both more difficult (that's what Yoda means by saying Luke must unlearn what he has learned, Force training is mentally intensive and its harder for an adult who's mind is already been molded by life) and dangerous, they are more susceptible to the dark sides temptations, as seen by how Luke, Ezra, and Rey all really struggled to resist

2. Force sensitivity past early childhood is rare, the Force is like a muscle, without practice and cultivation from training it will either plateau or fade, the fact that those 3 are still so powerful in the Force at older ages (with Luke and Rey's reason for such being that they are descendants from exceptionally powerful Force sensitives) is highly unusual, which brings me to-

3. Those 3 are exceptions in many ways, the prior point being the most obvious one, but also in the fact that they didn't end up falling to the dark side (by all accounts this is what typically seems to happen to those trained in the Force at older ages), but also in the circumstances where they were trained, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Kanan, and Luke did not have the luxury of training Luke, Ezra, and Rey from early ages in communities of safe controlled environments, they were desperate with limited options and time, they had to make do, cut corners, and hope above all that things could work out

[lieutenant-teach]

Why exactly was the Jedi Order ‘deeply flawed’? Specify, please. What were its real flaws? Give me examples that haven’t debunked million times before by other people. Not ‘too close to the Republic/Senate’ (because it worked for a thousand of years, it’s not Jedi’s fault that the Senate has become greedy). Not ‘children-stealers’ (they’re not). Not ‘slave-owners of the clone army’ (they’re not, clones belonged to the Senate). Not ‘they forbid attachments’ (‘attachment’ doesn’t mean ‘love’ in SW, it means ‘unhealthy possessiveness’ ). Not ‘they don’t stop slavery/other evil in the galaxy’ (1. They’re too few for that anyway. 2. Isn’t it the Senate’s job? Why no one blames the Senate with the same fervor?). Not ‘they didn’t help Anakin with his mental health’ (they did, but you cannot help a person who doesn’t want to apply your help).

[stagbeetleboy]

I don’t think Yoda x Palpatine is really a crackship. Two guys that canonically hate each other and interact frequently is like classic ship material.

You just think it’s a crackship bc they’re ugly. In reality it’s old man yaoi that you’re simply not enlightened enough to understand. Ignoring the problematic age gap.

[interdimensionalhellscapeportal]

"Want this, I should not."

Sidious cackled. "Because it is a perversion of your precious Light, my dear?"

Yoda harrumphed. "Because cradle robbing it is. Light and Dark, little to do with it have they."

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

I am not a Jedi apologist, because the Jedi have nothing to apologize for.
