Obi-Wan holds out the longest because he will be DAMNED if some untrained, showoff civilian idiot foisted on him by politicians belongs in HIS systems army, some naive kid that will put his men in danger and he'll have to babysit, and even though he's heard of Anakin vaguely he pretends to be absolutely clueless (Anakin whomst??? never heard of her). Anakin's tendency to not follow orders specifically infuriates him but over time he realizes that Anakin's life has been the furthest thing from the cushy privilege he imagined, and that he truly does want to help people and make a difference, and that he truly is a mind-blowing pilot (almost TOO good... hmmm...) and they're thrown into a horrible situation in battle one day and save each other's lives and almost by accident they are best friends before Obi-Wan realizes anything has happened

Ahsoka has merch, but so do many of the clones. For some reason, most battalions have at least a few troopers that avidly follow podracing. Obi-wan thinks that Anakin looks vaguely familiar before realizing that whenever he does bunk inspections, Anakin's face is plastered all over the barracks. The 212th has never had a higher number of troopers trying to join than it does when word gets out that Anakin Skywalker (*the* Anakin Skywalker!) is a pilot
so fuck whatever canon has going on, i want THIS au ONLY
