I like the idea that Jocasta is one of the teachers for the Jedi kids before they become Padawans.

Is nice that I found and read KTLP because I now love Depa, bby Caleb, and Grey, Styles, Stance, also Janus Kasmir is cool, and Tai are Sammo are cute.

It also has a lot of Jedi Philosophy, and a bit of worldbuilding, and the most heartbreaking Order 66 plot twist.

hey uhh this is probably a really annoying question but what do you think of kanan/inquisitor?

… No. Maaaaybe Kanan/Seventh Sister for the lols (since the actors are married) but otherwise, NOT my thing. 

Also, beyond crack ships and pre-Rebels ships, I really struggle to ship Kanan with anyone but Hera. I do headcanon that Kanan had a little school boy crush on Sammo while he was at the Temple, but nothing really beyond that.

Caleb Dume, Sammo Quid, & Tai Uzuma - Kanan: The Last Padawan

[prepare4trouble]

Hello! Would you like to write a story about Tai, Sammo and Caleb planning their futures? What they would like to do, who they would like to be, when they grow up? ...Of course when people plan, God laughs...

I didn’t stick to this request as well as I wanted to, but I don’t think I did too badly.  And if you’re wondering, the scene I posted the other day precedes this, they’ve just come straight from there.

“Well done, Caleb,” Tai said as they entered the common room area.  “Way to break the unspoken rule.”

Caleb flopped into a chair.  It had been an accident, but there was no denying that they all ended up with extra training because of him.  “I already said sorry,” he said.  “But, y’know, for a rule that’s supposed to be unspoken, you do seem to talk about it a lot.”

Sammo laughed.  “He’s got a point, Tai.  Nobody even knew that it was an unspoken rule ’til you started telling us all.”

Tai folded her arms and glared at them both.  “Fine, maybe it’s not an unspoken rule, but it’s just good sense.  If you’re going to say you’re bored, don’t do it while Master Yoda is around.  And especially don’t do it while you’re with other people, or you’ll all be given something to do.”

“I didn’t know Yoda was there,” Caleb protested.  “I’m not an idiot.”

Sammo shook his head.  “You could’ve fooled me,” he said.

Caleb narrowed his eyes at both of them, then let it go.  “Whatever,” he said.  “We’ll see who’s an idiot when we face the initiate trials next month and I pass easily, get snapped up by some master and whisked away to fight in the war as a padawan.”

Tai rolled her eyes.  “You do know that passing the trials doesn’t guarantee anything, don’t you?” she told him.  “It’s not like there’s a dozen masters eagerly watching us, hoping to snap up a padawan at the first opportunity.”

“It only takes one,” Caleb said.

Tai sighed.  “Yeah, look, don’t take this the wrong way Caleb, but the two of us will definitely be chosen before you.  Even if someone did want you, they’d probably have to wait a few years before you were allowed out, nobody’s going to put a kid your age on the battlefield.”

Caleb scowled.  “Hey, I’m not that much younger than you!”

“Anyway, last I heard,” she continued, “the Republic was winning the war, starting to take back more and more territory from the Separatists.  I bet peace’ll be declared any day.”

Caleb groaned internally and barely resisted the urge to throw something at his friend.  It wasn’t true.  Or at least, he didn’t think it was true.  It sounded like it could be, though.  “Don’t say that,” he said.

“What?  You want it to go on forever?”

Of course he didn’t, and he knew exactly how selfish he was being, but it wasn’t like him hoping for something would make it happen.   “Not forever,” he said, “Just long enough.  I just want the chance to have a bit of excitement.”

“Hey, you should be careful making wishes like that,” Sammo told him.

Caleb folded his arms and glared.  “Why?  Don’t pretend you’re not hoping for the same thing, Sammo Quid.”

“But I’m not saying it, that’s the difference.  The Force has a way of misinterpreting those kinds of wishes.  Remember the Master that wished for peace and quiet, and then lost his hearing.”

“You’re kidding, right?”  Caleb laughed, not sure whether his friend actually believed the story, or whether he was just trying to make a point.  “That’s a tale they tell the younglings so they don’t think the Force is going to magically solve everything for them,” he told him.  “It didn’t really happen.”

“How do you know?”

Caleb shrugged.  “I asked,” he said.

“Why am I not surprised?”  Sammo rolled his eyes and shook his head.

“Well, wishes aside,” Tai said with a smirk, “I’m sure you’ll get over not getting to fight.  And don’t worry, Sammo and I will tell you such great stories you’ll feel like you were there.”

Caleb glared at her, but didn’t give her the satisfaction of a response.

“Padawans never used to go off to war, you know.” she continued.  “The occasional battle, sure, but back before the Separatists got their dumb ideas, we’d have been sitting around imagining a future filled with following a master around, doing diplomacy and peacekeeping.  Just think, that’s going to be you.”

It was going to be all of them.  The war would end soon, the Republic would win, and things would return to the way they had been before.  And that wasn’t a bad thing at all.  Peace was what he wanted; how could it not be?  He just wanted the chance to fight first.

“We still are peacekeeping,” Sammo said.

Caleb shook his head.  “Not really.  It’s war, it can’t be peacekeeping if there isn’t peace.  It’s more like… peace-restoring.”

Tai considered that, then nodded.  “Fair point, maybe you’re not as much of an idiot as I thought,” she conceded.

“Whatever it is we’re doing out there,” Caleb said, “I’m going to be a part of it, so they’d better not restore the peace before I get my chance.”

Sammo shook his head.  “For the record,” he said, “before Tai decides to point it out; wishing to prolong the war is another thing you shouldn’t do when Master Yoda is around.”

Caleb rolled his eyes.  “Yeah, thanks for that,” he said.

“Know what’d be funny?” Tai asked.  “Caleb finally gets chosen as a padawan, heads on out for his first mission, and peace is declared while they’re en-route.”

“Hilarious.  Know what’d be even funnier?” Caleb shot back.  “You get chosen as a padawan.  By Master Yoda!”
