7/26 - 8/1 ঌ | A Love Across Time

Hello friends, far and wide! It's official — Anidala Week 2026's theme is A Love Across Time. As we know, our favorite star-crossed lovers' wedding was introduced to us close to 25 years ago (which, how is that possible?), and their love has certainly transcended time! In keeping with the theme, the mods thought it was only fair to include prompts that span our canon Star Wars universe and the modern day.

Here is our official pictorial prompt calendar:

7/26 | Anidala Week Begins — Free Day 7/27 | 80s/90s/2000s / Fall of Jedi 7/28 | Medieval / Old Republic 7/29 | Victorian / High Republic 7/30 | Western / Age of Rebellion 7/31 | Futuristic / Rise of the First Order 8/01 | Anidala Week Ends — Free Day Celebration 8/02 | Raffle & Winner Announced and Contacted

In addition to seeing all the fun content Anidala Week 2026 will have, each entry (post) will count towards a raffle for two $25 Egift cards (VISA)!

Anidala Week is about creating all forms of ART for our favorite star-crossed lovers — so all forms of art are accepted! Whether it's illustrations, fics, edits, videos, or gifs— finished or a WIP, we want to see it posted and tagged so we can recognize your art! Be creative friends, and let your love for Anidala lead you! All eligible participants will be placed into our raffle, no matter the word count, no matter the media of choice.

Our new tag this year will be anidalaweek2026 — further details of how to make sure your entry will be valid are in our Carrd.

There's a much longer reminder of the canon universe timeline in the "keep reading" section, but we are so, so excited to announce this — we hope you love it, too!

Much love,

The Mod Team

For those who need a quick refresher on the Canon timeline (which would be mod shoobs, unfortunately), we've included this graphic and some reference points in case you're confused about what the in-universe time points mean. We've also included the Wookiepedia article pages as links in case you need an even closer look!

`ঔঌ. Day Two, 7/27 | Fall of Jedi (Linked to Republic Era)

Spans from 100 BBY to 19 BBY. Surrounds and centers on the Separatist Crisis, the Clone Wars, and the destruction of the Jedi Order through Order 66. For Movie reference, this is from Phantom Menace - Revenge of the Sith.

`ঔঌ. Day Three, 7/28 | Old Republic (The Sith Era)

Spans from 25,053 BBY (the founding of the Republic) to 1000 BBY (the Seventh Battle of Ruusan & End of New Sith Wars). Surrounds a period after the Great Galactic War, which forces the Galactic Republic & Sith Empire into a tense and fragile period of peace. Also includes the Birth of the Jedi & Republic, the Creation of the Sith, and the Rule of Two (For Sith). Game reference, these are Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I & II and Star Wars: The Old Republic, also the Disney non-canon Legends stories.

`ঔঌ. Day Four, 7/29 | High Republic

About 500 to 100 Years before the events of The Phantom Menace. Surrounds the golden age of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order, with huge exploration, innovation, and peaceful expansion. The major threats were the Nihil (space marauders) and the Nameless, which are force-devouring entities. Show references are the Acolyte, Young Jedi Adventures, and many Legends High Republic comics and Novels.

`ঔঌ. Day Five, 7/30 | Age of Rebellion

Spans from 5 BBY to 4 ABY (or 5ABY depending on the reference). Also known as the Rebellion Era — it surrounds the organization of the Rebel Alliance and the galactic war against the Empire. For Show Reference, this is Andor and Star Wars Rebels, and Movie reference, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Note: While technically this means Anakin has turned into Darth Vader in Canon, we will make an exception: any entries with Vaderdala on this specific day will be valid as long as you find a way to mix Anidala and Vaderdala. Please tag both if it's a fic entry!

`ঔঌ. Day Six, 7/31 | Rise of the First Order

Span from 34 ABY to 35 ABY. It chronicles the events of the Sequel Trilogy, where Imperial remnants turned into a dictatorship and put the galaxy into war. The First Order went public in 29 ABY, operating out of the Unknown Regions as a military junta guided by resurrected Palpatine.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns (especially if you're struggling with dates), please please please reach out to the mods! We are here for you guys, and are extremely excited to see what everyone comes up with.

There will be an extensive FAQ post on the blog before Anidala Week, covering all Egift card semantics, the qualifying rules, and a short reminder about our exception for Vaderdala entries on Day four, July 30th! May the Force be with you, Anidala Family — we will see you guys in about a month and a half!

PSA | Mod Shoobs (she/her (@shoobscantsleep) is in Central Standard Time (CST). Our Anidala Weeks Inbox is open, but if you're more comfortable doing it personally, reach out to her on Tumblr, TikTok, or Instagram!

Anidala Week 2026 Approaches!

Hello, hello, my Anidala family! I'm sorry that this is a touch late (I wanted to do this before June), but I'm so excited to announce that we will be having Summer Anidala Week 2026 SOON!

This post serves as a way to get you to fill out this Google FORM, which includes many, many things like DATES for our events. This includes:

The JULY Anidala week (which has a set theme)!

An OCTOBER Anidala Halloween Event!

Our DECEMBER Anidala Yuletide!

I (mod shoobs) would greatly appreciate it if you filled this out ASAP! I'm trying to make a nice little calendar with everything in place, and want to give you guys time to get content ready :)

Please keep reading below for more small details, but the most pressing matters are all in that link, so tap tap tap!

For reintroduction purposes, I wanted to cover who our MODS are, just in case you have any questions:

𖤓˚࿔ | Mod Shoobs (she/her | @shoobscantsleep)

I am one of the main administrators of Anidala Weeks, so I handle everything boring, such as dates, times, FAQs, and responding to DMs. I also handle our AO3 collections, account, and tags. I'm probably the easiest person to go to for quick information, as I have it all on my handy-dandy computer, but I have a very loud brain, so give me about 24-48 hours on those DMs, friends! I promise that I will do my best to get back to you — I'm just running around all the time with work.

Only one thing has changed: I am no longer on Twitter for mental health purposes and have deleted the app (I'm under @/sunleashed over there.) I will do my best to get on there if I absolutely have to, but do me a solid and reach out on Tumblr, Instagram, or TikTok - all of my handles are @shoobscantsleep :)

𖤓˚࿔ | Mod J (Any pronouns | @calamitousvader or @anakincoded)

J is our other main administrator of Anidala Weeks, and they also handle many of our duties like reposting, letting shoobs know that information has slipped through the cracks, and helping out with polling for information, etc. They absolutely can answer many of the same questions that shoobs can, and have many more ways to contact shoobs if, for whatever reason, she goes AWOL.

The Tumblr contacts are listed above, but J is also on Twitter (@/sundragonheart), so give them a ring over there if that's easiest for you!

˚⋆𓇼˚⊹ 𖦹 ⁺｡°˚⋆𓇼˚⊹ 𖦹 ⁺｡°˚⋆𓇼˚⊹ 𖦹 ⁺｡°˚⋆𓇼˚⊹ 𖦹 ⁺｡°˚⋆𓇼˚⊹ 𖦹 ⁺｡°˚⋆𓇼˚⊹ 𖦹 ⁺｡°

I always do a big information post about two days after posts like this, with DATE and PROMPT Announcements, and I intend to do that again! I'm an announcement-heavy kind of person: there will always be a post a few days before any Anidala event with the general FAQS. As always, please please please reach out with any questions, concerns, or comments.

Our inbox is open, and I'm going to log into the blog every morning and night to check in (mod shoobs is in Central Standard Time (CST)). If, for whatever reason, you can't find shoobs on all three of her accounts (Tumblr, TikTok, Instagram) and are concerned, reach out to mod J — they have like, fourteen ways to contact me on my cellphone and I'm sure that it will reach me :)

We are super super excited, and may the Force be with you, my friends! Happy Summer Anidala Week 2026!

X-FILES x ANIDALA | officially decided to add on to my x-files anidala fic series for anidala week 2026 and couldn't be more excited :))

[shoobscantsleep]

the mother of the rebellion for mother’s day felt fitting

[shoobscantsleep]

may the fourth be with you, my friends !!

[shoobscantsleep]

and then i turn off the tv and they live happily ever after

[shoobscantsleep]

smallville anidala au come back to me… perhaps as… a fic for anidala week… come back to me

[shoobscantsleep]

hopping on here before i start anidalaweek prep to share how luke’s unwavering faith in the good of the galaxy, and anakin, was mirror image of the mother he never got to meet

[shoobscantsleep]

because the sand line was always a metaphor for how anakin felt about himself and then how he felt around padmé.

[shoobscantsleep]

"You're here for me."

"Yes, I am here for you. To me, there is no difference between this city and a city back in Maine, except that it's louder, more expensive, and less maintained."

- chapter two of wanderlust is up :))

[shoobscantsleep]

“Out of all the people she could’ve traveled with for two…maybe three months if they really stretched it, and she hoped that they did, she didn’t expect Anakin Skywalker to be the one who would step into a car with her.”

-

chapter one of my new anidala fic, wanderlust, is live <3

[shoobscantsleep]

in a wistful summer close to a month before padmé naberrie’s birthday, she flees her small town of naboo for the first time in her life to go on a cross country roadtrip with an estranged acquaintance. needless to say, they travel through more than just physical mountains.

—

posted this on twitter a day or two ago but thought some people might like it up here too (with some yammering typical of shoobs, of course :))

a new anidala au!!! feeling that new fic tingle… it’s a different fic but the vision is SO strong. yearning, adolescence, growing together while simultaneously fighting against one another— anyway.

i’m unrusting my angst hand that hasn’t been used since my jiara fic days — my tags haven’t had a hurt/comfort in a long time and it’s about to make its return ;)

[shoobscantsleep]

responding to my full inbox on a03 for the first time in months and i apologize to my favorite peeps for blowing up ur inboxes. this has been my public warning (and an announcement that i WILL respond even if it’s months later)

[shoobscantsleep]

“But this is where my beautiful, amazing, experimentalist Padmé Naberrie—”

“Skywalker-Naberrie.” His eyes fluttered shut in that way they always did when he was turned on, and she pressed her lips together.

“I’m sorry, Skywalker-Naberrie, draws the line.” She almost forgot why she wasn’t turned on anymore, and he laughed. “Out of everything, it was a Senator roleplay.”

or: Padmé is trying to think of a way to give Anakin a creative Life Day gift after being the perfect husband the entire year. Thankfully, when the twins are away, she thinks that she can pull something off.

-

happy secret santa, @aliemboyfriend !!! i was SO excited to get to work on this for you, and i hope this 18+ fic The Senator and Her Roleplay is everything you hoped to get :))
