Neutron star collision

Chapters: 32/33

Epilogue, part 1 - Emotion, yet peace (click here)

“I knew about the wedding,” Anakin said. “I read it on the Holo. It’s funny, actually, she’s always despised his books.” He stared into the green wine in his glass, his eyes glazed over by memory. “I’m glad she’s going to have another child. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to give up the twins. She always wanted to have babies.”

Obi-Wan leaned back a little. “What about you? Were the twins… planned?”

Anakin’s head jerked up. “What? No, of course not. A secret marriage in the middle of a galactic war, and you think I got her pregnant on purpose? No, it was an accident. Why do you ask?”

“No reason,” Obi-Wan said, almost instinctively, then frowned. “No, that’s not true. It’s just… I’ve wondered, Anakin. Is this the life you would choose? You are a free man now. If you wanted — a family, children. You are still young.”

Anakin glanced up at him for a moment, then looked at the fire. He was striking, half his face bathed in silver starlight, the other warmed by the flames.

“Why are you asking me if I want to betray my vows?” he asked, his voice very soft.

“None of them are binding for life,” Obi-Wan said, equally quiet. “Only for as long as you are a Jedi.”

“But that’s the point, Obi-Wan,” Anakin said, meeting his gaze. “I am a Jedi. It’s not something that can change. It’s who I am, even before I am Anakin Skywalker.”

When two neutron stars orbit each other closely, they spiral inward as time passes due to gravitational radiation. When the two neutron stars meet, their merger leads to the formation of either a more massive neutron star, or a black hole.

Anakin Skywalker died during Order 66; this is all Obi-Wan Kenobi knows until a gravely wounded Anakin lands on the ship where the survivors are trying to regroup. The dark side clings to his former Padawan, and what happened in the Temple remains uncertain. When faced with a truth more terrible than he could have ever imagined, Obi-Wan chooses Anakin, even in his darkness. He cannot lose him twice. But darkness is generous, and it is patient.

Qui-Gon would have called it the will of the Force, but Obi-Wan thought it was just damn rotten luck that had turned his first mission with his new Padawan into a near disaster.

Two months after Qui-Gon's death, Obi-Wan learns what it really means to teach by example.

32 BBY - To'San, Mid Rim. Two months after the Battle of Naboo

Obi-Wan passed one hand through his hair, and found himself once again startled by the soft strands that were growing out of his Padawan cut.

He glanced back at the dejected column under his care, his eyes instinctively going to his padawan - his padawan, Force protect him.

Two rows behind him, Anakin was a perfect image of Jedi composure, marching with his chin high and his shoulders square as he led the Consul’s youngest daughter by the hand. Obi-Wan couldn’t help the quirk of his lips at the contrast with the sheer misery he was radiating in the Force.

After five days of this wretched trudge across To-San’s rugged mountains, Obi-Wan could hardly blame him.

this would technically be a Vaderwan picture. Which is a favorite prompt of mine. The first heartbreak of mine.

This one I will frame when I can! It will look so pretty in a painted black wood frame!

Tagged by @obikns, thank you!

rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or however many you like)

Anakin gave him [Greedo] the finger, which earned him a raised eyebrow from Obi-Wan, and strode towards Jabba’s dais with his chin high, ignoring the staring crowd.

hey I saw your tag on the anidala post with the quote about attachment and possession being forbidden but compassion being essential and i was wondering what your thoughts were on what the jedi actually believe. is anakin just coping bc he wants to marry padme or do you think his quote is actually what the jedi believe? what are the rules for jedi? in your opinion could a jedi be in a serious romantic relationship without violating the code?

Attachment is forbidden. Possession is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is essential to a Jedi's life. So you might say, that we are encouraged to love.

i do think that quote is what the jedi actually believe. In my opinion (which is pretty limited, im no star wars expert) i dont think the jedi were ever really supposed to be seen as that restrictive. Jedi relationships of all colors are non-traditional. The jedi 'family' structure is completely foreign to anything we see in our world, and all other Jedi besides Anakin seem extremely content within it. Anakin's flaw is not love, its possession. He wants to possess Padme, and he wants to possess Obi-wan, in ways that are unhealthy. I do not believe the Jedi were ever intended in these movies to come off as conservative finger-waggers who forbid healthy human relationships. But there is a reason Jedi aren't shown as married with children, not because it's 'bad' to do, it's just not their way of life. I'm only looking at the movies here, because I think the EU and canon stuff really does its own thing and has really warped the initial intent of the code.

Here is what I think the movies ACTUALLY want to show and fail to make super clear:

love is not inherently possessive

anakin is possessive

the jedi order forbids possessive love, because it is unhealthy

the jedi order has become too rigid, but not abusively so

compassionate and unconditional love, like what Luke showed to vader, is what the Jedi strive for, allow, and embody

Now, do I think the movies execute all of this very well? Fuck no. George Lucas constantly writes himself into corners that create really weird implications about the jedi that just go unaddressed. George wanted a forbidden love story that the audience can empathize with, so the jedi have to forbid that love, ergo making the Jedi look like bad guys. Anakin has to be both young in TPM to be traumatized by losing his mother, but he also needs to be ostracized by the entire jedi order, so let's just have the jedi be cradle robbers and hope nobody thinks too hard about it so Anakin is 'too old' to get the full Jedi experience. The fact that the jedi take force-sensitive children and forbid certain kinds of love has really weird implications and reflections on the skywalker family that i really do not think was intentional. George Lucas says over and over again that the Jedi are the moral good guys and I just can't imagine he ever wanted us to think of them as emotionally stunted homewreckers.

A lot of Star Wars discourse honestly boils down to 'people who accept George Lucas's intent over fully analyzing the text' vs 'people who don't acknowledge George Lucas's intent and look at the world as depicted'. I was talking to a friend the other day who watched all of the prequels with me who had absolutely no idea Anakin was traumatized by his slave background. Not because that's not true, or wasn't intended by the narrative, but just because it is literally not shown well in the movies.

I think a jedi could absolutely be in a serious romantic relationship without violating the code. But it would look absolutely nothing like what we think of as a romantic relationship, you (and the authors) probably wouldn't even call it that. Like a romantic relationship for a jedi would have to completely forgo things like marriage, exclusivity, monogamy, the tunnel-vision obsession of love, prioritizing your nuclear family over your jedi family, etc. etc. It would have to be a relationship with all our amatonormative ideas completely stripped away, if that makes any sense. I don't think that aspect of the code was ever thought about in this way, but I think it fits with what was intended originally by the movies.

My mind is now so obikin-coded that I can't even distinguish actual sw fanart anymore: every twink with longish hair is Anakin and every smug looking or soppy wet bearded guy is Obi-Wan
