Sith Obi-Wan

Star Wars and Obi-Wan

AU I will probably never write: the clone wars happen earlier than in canon, making Anakin a padawan for its whole duration. When Palpatine starts Order 66, Obi-Wan is still alone on Utapau, having left his sulking 19-year-old padawan back at the Temple as a mild punishment after another display of bad temper and rash decisions.

He then spends the next few years of his life alone in hiding, thinking that his decision killed his dear padawan and that their last words to each other were sharp and bitter.

[jediknobi]

'AU I will probably never write', I said as I put my clown shoes on and wrote the damn thing anyway, so here's 4k about their reunion after 10 years apart. Anakin cries. Obi-Wan cannot believe his padawan got older. There is a well-deserved hug ✨

[jediknobi]

guess who published chapter 2 after 3 years!!!

[jediknobi]

I rly wish we got to see more detective obiwan in the prequels tbh 😞

we should've got more you're right!!! but they could've fixed this lack with more Obi-wan and Quinlan buddy cop stuff in tcw

(commission info // tip jar!)

Last minutes before a mission.

people like to write sith obi-wan as like some cool suave charismatic mastermind manipulator but actually I think some people should try making sith obi-wan a mad scientist. he turned evil because of his insatiable thirst for knowledge and he's diving into forbidden tomes and experimenting with sith alchemy on live subjects and writing extremely rigorous notes while complaining about how slipshod previous sith scholars have been about documenting their work.

he has basically no stakes in taking over the galaxy and the war is really inconvenient for him and he's a huge problem for both sides because he keeps kidnapping people to do horrible (and frequently lethal) experiments on them and he also kidnapped a whole bunch of clones because he's Way Too Interested in how they were created and trained which is overall a very weird experience for all of them

I think whoever evil obi-wan's mentor was can be the first person he experimented on. that would be fun :)

[jessepinwheel]

also while I'm thinking about evil mad scientist obi-wan I think he would have also done tons of experiments on his own body, so the reason why he won't die even though Literally Everyone on both sides of the war is trying to take him out is because he's more sith abomination and cybernetic implants and scar tissue than his original body at this point. he keeps it covered up most of the time because for some reason his test subjects start getting upset otherwise

also also, repeat test subjects (kidnapping victims). he just grabs them off the battlefield and does some fun little body modifications or sith rituals to them and then releases them again for 'field test data' to kidnap again at a later time so he can collect the new data. the changes seem generally helpful in some way but nobody knows if there isn't something else going on and obviously it is very disconcerting to not know what is going on with your own body. I imagine this comes with some kind of tracking band or implant (if you are fun it could be a collar), like when wildlife scientists tag animals, and nobody can figure out how to remove it without killing the patient

he would love the brain worms. imagine him holding anakin down and this time he *is* going to find out if it goes in through the nose or the mouth

[muffinlance]

He releases Plo Koon with a red band and suddenly. This dad-shaped high councilor is the MOST FUCKABLE SENTIENT in the universe. Commander Wolf is banging on Sithi-Wan's door begging him to please reverse the effects, please, there's only so many nights he can stand guard at his Jedi's door against The Populace

And Sithi-Wan, who's been deep in a research binge and only now coming up for air, goes Hmmmm? But the band wasn't even part of the experiment. FASCINATING.

Order 66 AU where Palpatine made one (1) fatal mistake and that was putting the Jedi into the military to whittle them down before his big damn triumph. You know. Like canon. Except that friendship is magic and love overcomes all odds and the Jedi have been right down there in the trenches saving clones, sharing their joys and griefs, and dying for them, while what's Palpatine and the Senate done for them lately, hm?

Palpatine: Execute Order 66!

Cody: . . . Yes my lord.

Cody: Welp guess we're Separatists.

Obi-Wan: We're what.

Cody: I presume you'll be taking control of the droid armies now?

Obi-Wan: What.

Cody: Or is the plan for Generals Windu or Yoda to handle that?

Obi-Wan: ... what....

Cody: Gotta say, sir, you should've done this years ago. The infiltration plot didn't need to go this long.

Obi-Wan: Infil--?

Cody: At least the rest of the war should take about a week without having to answer to the Republic's politicians.

Obi-Wan: . . . Hello, Force? It's me, Obi-Wan. I have a few questions...

[adiduck]

Okay no I cannot stop laughing hear me out.

So like. TECHNICALLY the order doesn't NECESSARILY specify how the clones should REACT to the news that the Jedi are traitors and there is now a kill order on sight. Like. The expected response is HEAVILY IMPLIED obviously, but if you were to go with the letter, all it TECHNICALLY says is the Jedi and everyone helping them is a traitor.

SO if you are more loyal to the Jedi than the Republic, your decision is probably not that difficult!

Which leaves Palpatine sitting in his office, cackling gleefully, preparing to go to the Senate and declare the Jedi traitors and their victory secure, and meanwhile he just ordered his ENTIRE army to defect.

THIS IS SO FUNNY.

JO. YOUR MIND!!!

[joisbishmyoga]

So I decided to draw it.

[batsyl]

When you've had enough of that wannabe-Sith following you around.

[padmestrilogy]

star wars is so fuckign stupid. i genuinely disagree with this storytelling choice because i think a key part of vader's character + psychological purgatory is he never gets that closure of going back and enacting harm against his enslavers, the only real retribution he does is killing palpatine. but i can't say "killing watto negatively impacts vaders arc" without sounding insane . can i

[grumfy]

Some people, he thought, are drawn to the light as surely as flowers that bend toward a sun.

[braham-is-bi]

Yall are so desperate for the Sith to be grey morality instead of just the straight up villains theyre constantly shown to be and it shows

[communiquesfromm]

#i get that the sith code (IN THEORY) resonates with people On Here bc of the whole breaking your chains bit#but in practice that freedom is only for the people with the strength to dominate others#the line is ‘THROUGH VICTORY my chains are broken’#so it’s actually saying ‘you can be free as long as you Win’ which is very social darwinist and shitty#and also heavily implies that the defeated don’t deserve freedom#which flows right into sidious’ ‘long have sith empires been built upon the backs of slaves’ line in tcw#the sith are evil. period. end of discussion.#i am once again begging the star wars fanbase to engage in critical thinking (via @evaceratops​

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

Jedi neutrality in TPM comes not at all from not taking sides. They get there and pick a side in under five minutes. They are 100% team Naboo. No, their neutrality, and their cultural moral authority, comes from not having a stake in this fight. They're not mixed up in the trade federation. They don't have personal ties with the Naboo. They don't stand to benefit or to lose from the success of either party. They can just show up and say, hey, just decided you guys suck. And no one can accuse them of being secretly married to the Naboo queen or having offshore investments in the Lake country, or whatever completely hypothetical thing a person might have going on that would hypothetically compromise that neutrality

[scrimplications]

tired of jedi characters comparing their relationship to their master with a parent-child dynamic. they dont KNOW that dynamic!

give me more jedi comparing a non-jedi's familial relationship to that of an apprentice and a master - at least that would make sense!

jedi going "yeah, an adult who guides and protects you and you're supposed to listen to them? yeah thats a master- oh, your mom is like that too? neat :)"

more jedi not really understanding non-jedi family dynamics. more jedi being horrified at the concept of someone being rejected or mistreated by their parent, because "why did they choose to have you then???"

there's a lot of interesting parallels between master-padawan dynamics and parental/familial dynamics. i just want to see more of the comparison going the other way.

[furious-blueberry0-deactivated2]

Padawan braids should be far more decorated I don't care

I want them to have beads and bows and jewels and rings and bells and-

I want them to scream culture, to scream tradition, to scream history!!!

[furious-blueberry0-deactivated2]

Eheheheeh here is my redesign for the Padawan braid!

Oh and the bells aren’t actual bells, they make no sound, they are called bells due to an old tradition no longer in use

And if anyone wants to use this idea, or some aspects of it, DO IT!!! Use this concept however you like!! Go and create your own braids!!!!!!!!

I’ll never quite get over just how integrated kids are into daily Jedi life and the implications of that.

Dooku’s Temple "job" for years seems to have been “teaching lightsaber preschool.” Sifo-Dyas, the guy with the scary doom visions? Oh yeah, they have him working with infants, bringing babies to the Temple as a Seeker. Jocasta Nu is constantly depicted interacting with the younger generation of Jedi, teaching, helping, or mentoring. In TCW, she knows all the Padawans on sight. 

There’s just something really ordinary and charming to me about this. Sure, Dooku is a terrifying 2m of spider limbs in a robe, but he’s still going down on one sinister knee to check out the little crying kid who got a finger crunched by one of those wooden training swords. How many of the TCW-era Jedi were once babies who played with Sifo-Dyas’s hair loopies or cuddled on his chest as he pointed his T-6 back toward the Temple after another successful Seeking mission? (Space is, after all, cold. 🥺) You just know Jocasta is in very reluctant possession of knowledge of every single teen Padawan drama, crush, or breakup. She tries to stay out of it, but she’s broken up fights and pulled particulars into her office for tea and a gentle lecture on the inherent self-destructiveness of gossip. 

And these are not “just some” Jedi - they are all combat trained, politically important, at the top of their rank and even each sit on the Council at some point in their lives. The Jedi Order really went “super powerful space wizards with laser swords, yeah, but they should also all definitely know how to change a diaper." 

[transitranger327]

First day of Master Dooku’s lightsaber class, probably:

Dooku: this is the lightsaber, the weapon of a Jedi. It is not clumsy or random, it is an elegant and precise tool. It is your life. You will learn how to use it to protect the weak and antagonize the strong.

Youngling: master dooku, will we learn how to make it go fwoosh fwoosh?

Dooku: yes child, you will learn how to make it go fwoosh fwoosh

Created an AU where Obi Wan adopts the twins and takes them to hide out Tatooine with him. He’s a tired dad and the twins are menaces. There’s a lot of sadness and drama to be found but for now let’s enjoy the cute, sweet family stuff. (Feel free to send asks if you want!)

Officially this is called the Obi Dad AU! Thank you to the person who put it in the tags (and for the kind words)

[penny-anna]

what if instead of being under the impression that Darth Vader killed his father someone told Luke that Vader killed his mother and then Luke hit him w that accusation in the middle of their confrontation and Vader just started crying
