I think I found a color scheme I like. Originally, I was aiming for a dramatic sunset but it wasn‘t working with the composition. Doesn‘t matter all that much, anyhow. Although, now poor Cody has to pick himself up in the dark. Oh well.. Obviously still a WIP, but now that I know the first panel works out I feel a bit more encouraged to do the rest of the chapter. Obviously, I still need to colour details and shadows/ lights but the main thing is down. Any thoughts? I‘d love to hear what everyone is thinking :D

Here‘s a short few sentences from the first chapter as I wrote it down in my first draft:

Slowly, as his vision cleared, the world around him came back into focus. Not that there was much to see. A wasteland to begin with, what was left of the barren landscape was scattered and broken; machinery of war, weapons, bodies. Soldiers of the Empire next to rebels. All silent and dead. Resting, now, against what little fauna the planet had left. Not far from him another trooper lay, motionless and with a blackened hole in his chest plate. One arm extended towards him, as if the trooper had reached for him. Cody turned away from the sight, even if he could not yet escape the horrendous stench of death, and concentrated on the horizon instead.

One night on the Negotiator after hearing Obi-Wan’s most recent attempt at a plan:

Cody: Little gods, give me patience.

Obi-Wan: I think you mean 'give me strength'.

Cody: If the gods gave me strength, you'd be dead.

Whenever Cody arrives it's like: the most competent man who takes no shit, takes initiative but also takes orders well just walked into the room. And his tits bounce. #needhim.

Codywan HC: Codywan never get married

My hot take is that Obi-wan and Cody never get married. NOT because they don't love each other or because of legal issues, but simply because culturally, marriage isn't really a thing to them and doesn't add anything to their relationship that they don't already have.

Cody is a clone and obviously raised without marriage ever even being a possibility. Jedi, as a whole, don't marry (this is getting into personal interpretations of Jedi culture but in my mind eschewing marriage is more of a symbolic gesture towards non-attachment. It does not mean that Jedi don't have dedicated long-term romantic partners).

Therefore, I think that neither of them would consider marriage to be important because it's not like marriage will somehow legitimize their love for each other more than being long-term partners.

In a no O66 AU, marriage doesn't seriously benefit them legally anyway. Obi-wan, as a Jedi, doesn't have public or private assets and money in his bank account would probably just be given to the temple upon his death. Cody might own property. But out of respect for Obi-wan being a Jedi, he would hand his assets to his brothers upon his death. (I also wouldn't be surprised if in a galaxy that's likely host to millions of cultures, estate and family law is a bit more generalized because marriage and family structure is different on every world and there's just no way to fit every single one into a single default family or marriage structure.)

In a post-O66 AU, they'd probably just fall into a sorta common law marriage, where people just assume they're married because they live together (they're not, but if it helps their cover story they won't fight it). But it's not like they can go out and get a marriage certificate. And most importantly, they're part of cultures that the empire are actively trying to wipe out. It's probably more important than ever for them to hold onto what little bit of their respective cultures they still have. There's not many people alive that they know of that they can celebrate a marriage with anyway.

Cody HC: Cody is good at speaking

Speaking and charisma is a deliberate skill, not a personality trait. A lot of people noted that in TBB Cody employs negotiation tactics on the mission to Desix and he probably learned them from watching Obi-wan. I'd actually take this a step further and say that Cody didn't just learn, but was deliberately taught. Cody was a) a Marshall Commander and b) deployed with Obi-wan, who is a diplomat, a public figure in the GAR and Jedi Order, and highly charismatic himself.

Relating to being a Marshall Commander, Cody is constantly in meetings and was trained on Kamino on how to effectively and clearly communicate plans and answer questions. He only got faster and better at this during the war when he would have back-to-back meetings and had to deliver orders during high-stress situations.

Relating to being deployed with Obi-wan, I'm willing to bet Obi-wan actually drilled Cody in speech and debate for Obi-wan's diplomacy missions and PR trained Cody for interviews and press releases. Cody probably regularly accompanied Obi-wan to events surrounding diplomacy and PR so he had a lot of opportunities to observe and practice. He also probably just talks a lot with Obi-wan and learned how to be charismatic and witty just from these conversations.
