Post Zygerrian arc angst because
[and it won't be the last]
He's so unfazed the guards are kinda worried.
[tip jar!]
Also the bonus:
They really put Ahsoka in the Arabian cultural appropriation slave outfit AND gave us a thigh shot. Whose decision was this? Like Ahsoka was my sapphic awakening but cmon she like 15 at the moment.
If Rex was part of the retrieving Han planning
Rex: Your plan to rescue Captain Solo...well, it’s a Skywalker plan so it might just work. But what if you get captured?
Luke: R2 can hide my lightsaber and shoot it to me if I need it
Rex: ...That’s a bad idea
Luke: No, no, R2 said he’s done it before
Rex: *looks at R2* Oh?
Rex: And did he tell you what happened last time?
R2: *beeps nervously*
Just wanted your opinion on the zygerrian arc I'm not sure if these was discussed before here, I feel like these arc could have been improved on. Like Anakin in the episode how his introducing himself to the queen giving Ahsoka as a slave and then flirting with her wooing her in the process.
I don't believe that, Anakin "I don't like sand" Skywalker shouldn't be able to whisper sweet nothing into a slave queen ear and woo her it's not in his character and especially his nature. These fic I found had a better idea of how the arc should have played out.

In a comic it did Anakin better where he pulled Ahsoka to the side and told her up straight the dangers she's putting herself in and trying to convince her to back out of it, which she doesn't and they go along with the plan with Ahsoka trying to make the situation lighter joked about how she's still able to call him master as a slave and Anakin replying seriously "Thats not funny". Which makes me want to see his transition of the word master to a more healthier (?) one towards Obi Wan.
I feel like if Anakin still played the role he wouldn't have flirted with the queen, she's everything he hates. He'll obligates her attention/presence for the sake of the mission but he will not bring himself to play along with her attraction. Specking of, the Queen can still have an attraction to Anakin because his pretty but we could go further where she likes Anakin because he has spirit and she wants to break that.
We learn that she doesn't like damaging goods and she prefer mentally breaking them into obedience, and that's what she wants to do to Anakin. Where at first she likes him because his pretty but when it was reveled that his a jedi she's more interested in him because of it, breaking a jedi spirit and making him her servant would be a big power play to her.
..... Which is not making me think now of how she will never have that title to him because he already has a master who didn't train him say it but earned it, not with fear or defeat but with love and respect. Sorry these was long I feel very strongly about these 🤣. I hope your having a good day!!
hmmm ok i don't really have an opinion on the zygerrian arc....it's something i've only seen once, like a year ago, and it's not something i tend to think about
i know a ton of people act like this is just so out of character for anakin and it feels like a betrayal of his past and his principles, but tbh....i think that's at least a bit of the point?
maybe i'm just reading the arc with too much good faith, but it honestly sort of feels like anakin's deception arc. not in a 'he's lying and hurting those he loves' way, but in a 'war can strip us of our principles if we're not careful. when we do everything we think is necessary to win, we may become more monstrous than we thought ourselves capable of' way.
like i mean obviously, the real monster is the queen, but anakin, who was a slave himself, does flirt with her. does try to stay in her good graces. and it's for the greater good. he isn't doing it for anything but the greater good and information and a shit ton of lives.
but i think people really hate this arc, and i can totally see why it makes people uncomfortable---i really don't think all of the writers' choices are thought through, especially ahsoka's role in it from the audience's perspective---but. but. i also sort of can see what they were aiming for with this arc.
war and espionage make strangers of us all. sometimes you do something that you know that your five-year-old self would never forgive you for, but you have to keep going because you have to believe you know more than your five-year-old self.
The Slave Arc
Um...just to preface, this does take place AFTER UMBARA...CHRONOLOGICALLY, THIS COULD'VE BEEN THE DAY AFTER REX RETURNS, OR THE WEEK AFTER, WHO KNOWS, AND THAT MAKES THIS SO MUCH WORSE. I HATE ARCS LIKE THESE THAT HAVE A LOT OF CONSEQUENCES THAT JUST GETS FORGOTTEN BECAUSE, SHOW.
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING AFTER REX AND HIS MEN WERE TREATED LIKE DISPOSABLES...ONLY TO THEN BE THROWN INTO MORE AGGRESSIVE SLAVERY...
AND NOTHING GETS MENTIONED ABOUT HOW THE CLONES ARE SLAVES OF THE REPUBLIC.
I KNOW I HAVE ISSUES AS WELL WITH YOU ALL ABOUT HOW ANAKIN JUST KINDA BRUSHES THIS OFF
BUT THE CLONES...
ALL OF THEIR LIVES BRED INTO THE MILITARY [SLAVERY]
Well hello there, in one of the asks you mentioned you were working on a genderbending thing about obi wan's looks getting him into trouble. How is that going? That seem very interesting to me. Could you maybe give me some clues information about it? Even if you gave up on writing it ı would still love to hear what you had planned to do. Pretty please?
Oh….. yes….
…… I did say that at some point, didn’t I :)
Hahaha!! Hello there to you! Thank you so much for the Ask.
I had forgotten all about this project! I had to go in the way-back time machine to access these memories LOL.
But you’re in luck because I actually wrote notes and outlines for some of my ideas!!
The idea was gender-bending in regards to how women are often hyper-sexualized in pop culture, or how a woman’s level of attractiveness plays into the kind of character she portray. That was the impetus for the fics anyway.
In truth, it doesn’t have to be a gender related issue. The idea I had really was more about what it feels like to be preyed upon because of your looks. People make snap judgements about us based on our appearance, so I wanted to explore how it would be to make Kenobi’s good looks a liability rather than an asset.
My favorite idea was a short fic about Obi-Wan and Quinlan as Padawans. On a mission they end up getting separated from their Masters and get taken prisoner by some kind of villain. Quinlan is loud and flippant and built like a brick shit house, whereas Kenobi is refined and lithe and attractive. Their captors make snap judgements: they assume Quinlan is tough and Obi-Wan is weak, and they think they can use Kenobi to break Voss. Turns out, as we all know, Obi-Wan is a lot tougher than he looks and Quinlan isn’t only a pile of muscles. There’s a lot more to them than what’s on the surface.
Some of the stories were just meant to be funny. For example, Yoda has to stop assigning Padawans to Obi-Wan because they just fall in love with Kenobi and lose all ability to concentrate when he’s in the room.
I thought it would be fun to see how Obi-Wan became aware of his good looks–he grows out of being a gawky teenager and realizes he’s a grown man who can actively charm people. He can get people to work with him; it helps him become a better diplomat. But it can be a liability as well because it draws unwanted attention, like… What if the Zygerrian queen thinks he is too handsome to send to Kadavo and she keeps him instead of Anakin? Just little ideas like that :)
Some of these ideas I wrote down aren’t half bad. I haven’t written anything since New Years Eve. My life is very draining and my creativity has been at an all time low. But maybe that will change and I’ll be inspired to write something short and sweet. Thanks for the inspiration, my friend!! And thanks for reaching out ❤❤❤
