One of my big breaks with star wars canon is that I fully think that, even with hyperlanes, they should need several weeks to get from the outer rim to Coruscant. I will write that trip as taking Forever unless people are using restricted tech (military) or breaking the law (Han Solo).

Disembodied Dialogue:

“Are you okay?”

“I am many things, but okay is not one of them. It is, in fact, so far from being one of them that quite frankly I can’t actually remember what ‘okay’ feels like.”

One of the funniest ways to reveal a character is trans is "oh yeah, this is from back when I still thought I was a girl, lol."

Idk why, I just love the framingof the agab being a silly little mistake or childhood fantasy, like thinking Santa is real or that you CAN live on just candy forever

"Oh yeah, I thought I was a dude for the longest time. Wild, right?"

Trying to wrangle a timeline for the Kryze sisters that actually fits what we've been told about Bo-Katan being in between Anakin and Ahsoka in age, and the only solution I've got, at least for this specific fic, is that Bo was born at least three years after both of their parents were dead

And like, this is Star Wars, there's a way to make it happen, but still!

(Yes I could have made Bo older but it's too late now.)

Hey how far apart do we think the Jedi Temple and the Senate are?

NOT in terms of time. Specifically in terms of distance. Miles or kilometers.

The thing is. There are certain fics of mine where if you comment to disagree, I WILL argue back with multiple paragraphs because it's my field of interest

My trade-and-industry systems obsession is not having it. I do not spend my free time gleefully consuming videos on agricultural trade routes to be told that multiple planets can survive on RAIDING without a sizeable non-military force acting as a breadbasket domestically, what the FUCK are you on about

I'm too logistics-pilled for this

I've been thinking about a derivative fic I want to write and

I think?

I need to make Satine poisonous?

Ngl I'm very happy with my excuse for Obi-Wan knowing jackshit about Galidraan in Smile for the Camera. Like yes, there's the classic "he was thirteen, so not exactly getting reports on missions, on Melidaan around that time, and more focused on recovery from trauma and malnutrition than on gossip or even public announcements about it."

But! Phindar. Obi-Wan got a partial memory wipe that year. Easy way to miss things.

And yes, he might have learned about it from Mandalorians during the Year on the Run, that would be a great time and reason for him to learn about it... but you just KNOW he got multiple concussions without proper medical care while living hand to mouth with Satine.

The man's memory is full of holes and unfortunately those holes are peppered over the exact times one might have learned about Mandalorian politics and the Senate using Jedi as a weapon through misinformation.

Just one of these excuses is decent enough, but all three? Even Jango can't get mad about it. The fuck was Obi-Wan supposed to do?
