Wish granted: There are no politicians on a desert shithole ruled by hutts.

Okay so it was definitely time for another clone trooper round-up.

Here's every clone trooper I have as earrings in my shop! Let me know if your fave isn't here, and I'll see what I can do! Shop is here.

'For one of the primary purposes of [the Clone Wars] was to brutalize the population of the galaxy... This war has to be more destructive, more chaotic, more disruptive, and more horrifying than they could have believed... Civilians had to die in huge numbers on besieged worlds. Property had to be destroyed. Economies had to collapse. Planets had to starve... Because when Palpatine was ready to bring about the end of the conflict, both populations had to be so desperate for that moment that they would gratefully embrace peace. They must be so grateful that they would not care about the price it came at or what was traded away to achieve it.'

anyway sound off. at what stage do ppl think Han figured out the Force was real. the boring answer is after seeing Obi-wan vanish but i think he could rationalise that away as his eyes playing tricks on him. what do we think.

[my-last-brain-cell-is-socrates]

Let me demonstrate my answer for you:

That's it. That's my answer. Endor.

Please just take a look at Han's face right after witnessing 3po float. The man just had his entire worldview blown to smithereens.

[whetstonefires]

that's so funny. that means he accepted Vader deflecting a blaster bolt with his hand as just something freaky government cyborgs can do, and stuck by Luke for multiple years as he tried to figure this Force stuff out, and just treated it like your friend getting really really into neopaganism to cope with a loss.

like yeah kid good job with the witching. i'm certain it will be more useful against your enemies than your sharpshooting. no i do not think your witchcraft is supplementing your aim but i'm not gonna argue about it.

[penny-anna]

yeah Luke was like 'I heard Ben Kenobi's voice in my head telling me how to blow up the Death Star :)' and Han was like 'kind of an unusual coping mechanism but I'm not gonna argue with him'

[davetheshady]

thanks to carbonite han not only misses learning about luke's training montage on dagobah, he's also half-blind during their whole escape on tatooine. luke's out there force-kicking henchmen with his gucci boots and doing flips and shit and han can't see a goddamn thing. now on endor luke's yeeting threepio with the power of his mind and han's just like 'the last time we hung out i had to stuff him in a tauntaun sleeping bag'.

thinking of the Jedi's self sufficiency , and specifically about how they sew their own clothes. And I have ideas floating in my head of Anakin using Padme's dress patterns to sew something for Sister, or during the war Obi-Wan making clothes for Cody when he's on shore leave.

Quinlan sewing fox toys for Fox.

Ahsoka's dresses making more sense as she gets older because she made them herself. And as ridiculous as it was, a tube top & skirt was the easiest combo a 14 year old could make.

(In a happier world, thinking about the Jedi teaching their clones how to sew after the war, because while the clones can sew it wasn't for aesthetic purposes. Just for survival. The Kaminoans never really taught them how.

And when the clones are eventually do make their own money, and are granted their rights, refusing gifts from the Jedi when they can and actually buying their work. Because it's good fucking work.)

Imagining hours where the Jedi will sit in silence and just sew and embroidery their work. Sew together, alone.

Sew blankets, sew clothes, sew dolls, sew every and anything. Embroidery when they're done.

Teach sewing as stress relief. Teach their troopers sewing as stress relief. Do it themselves.

And years after the Fall of the Jedi, their embroidery and clothing being put in museums, respected. years of handmade and handsewn art and clothing displayed for all to see.

"Jedi Cloak by Jedi Master Shaak-Ti" "Obi-Wan Kenobi's thimble" "Stuffed Animal for a youngling by Yoda" "Mace Windu's portable sewing kit" "Gift to a trooper by Plo Koon"

etc, things that make me sad

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

Imagine Anakin absolutely losing his mind as it’s explained to him that his marriage is literally illegal because of article whatever subsection b and it’s because 400 years ago there was an entrapment scheme and that’s why Padme is being sued by the republic

[other-peoples-coats]

Funniest possible set up for a fix it.

Padme dragged before the courts bc you had to know this was illegal there’s literally no way you didn’t know this was illegal. Naboo under a microscope bc the former queen/current senator married a jedi – and not even a real knight jedi at the time, a baby jedi!! – and is naboo trying to entrap the jedi order??? sources say: MAYBE!

Anakin, losing his mind and opening his mouth to cause more problems, says something – on live broadcast, beamed to every corner of the galaxy –about his good buddy the chancellor knowing and saying it was totally fine🤬🤬🥺🥺🥺.

“Oh, so it’s definitely an attempt by naboo to entrap the jedi order and/or claim ownership of them and/or do any of the other things we have that law to prevent huh” says literally everyone in the galaxy, “chancellor palpatine 💯 wants to Rule The Galaxy Forever and is going to extort the Jedi to do it”

which. yes, but also, no.

something something, investigations into everything naboo has ever touched, something something, hey, chancellor, why the fuck do you have a red lightsaber in your desk actually??

[absolxguardian]

IRL, the people who preform marriages have a duty of care to make sure that the marriages they officiate are permitted (they’re adults, they consent, they’re not too related). Which means the random guy who officiated the marriage is also getting dragged into this shit. He’s a priest from an obscure religion who normally isn’t called upon to officiate weddings. This stuff probably didn’t even occur to him when he signed the datawork C3PO presented to him. (In Legends their marriage wasn’t filed with the apporiate authorities. Them not being legally married is the most likely scenario, but where’s the fun in that).

Speaking of historical reasons to keep Jedi from marrying, one of those is presented in Legends with the Jedi Covanent. There’s a bunch of stuff, but one aspect are Jedi using future sight to play the space stock market. Let’s introduce that to this scenario and say afterwards the Republic makes a law against the Jedi owning financial assets (think private property in the leftist sense of personal vs private vs public. This also addresses another problem of the Jedi Covanent). If the Order invests any of their budget because that’s what they need to do to keep the lights on, it’s managed in trust by a non-Force sensitive employee of the Republic. (Government agencies normally don’t have investments, but if the Jedi Order is more like a non-profit government corporation then they might.)

Now Padme has her name on some of the Naberrie family investments, some shares in businesses- that kind of thing. The Naboo aristocracy aren’t what they once were, and have to use modern/galactic financial tools to maintain their wealth and lifestyle. But there’s no pre-nup for her and Anakin’s marriage, which means her portions are common property. The Republic version of the SEC is going to Get His Ass for future-vision trading (listen it’s hard trying to be a regulatory body during the neo-liberal hell that is the fall of the Republic, they need an easy win). So in addition to everything else going on, Anakin is being investigated for securities fraud.

Ahsoka is a young ambush predator, and does not handle the 'hurry up and wait' pace of life between battles well at all

so Rex develops a game for her:

Rex will discreetly tag one of the troopers with the equivalent of a space kick me sign on the back, and Ahsoka then has to isolate them from the herd and pounce

not only does this serve as Enrichment in his Commander's Enclosure, it's also a good test of his men's situational awareness

not to mention, it's a good mechanism for a little petty revenge every now and then

he'll occasionally also 'loan her out' to Wolffe or Cody as a chance to stress-test their own troopers' level of vigilance (and give Torrent a break from her reign of terror)

[clonesuperiority]

I'd like to think that Ahsoka and Anakin would occasionally train with their troopers. Probably not, but the thought is nice 😔

Aslo: I kind of like the idea of some clones (hardcase in this case) being a bit more chubby :3

Bonus of headcanon body tattoos for Jesse, Hardcase and Kix 😊

just a lil child soldier ........

og pic + tweet i saw that shot this image into my brain

[moltengoldveins]

What? oh it’s nothing just the crippling grief of watching a nineteen year old abuse victim with a barely-functioning support system and a manipulative father figure try his absolute hardest to give the child he was unwillingly saddled with something resembling childhood by making war a game. Because he doesn’t have any other ideas. It’s just the slow horror of her wonder and innocence dimming over time. It’s just how her childishness was portrayed not as the good and right nature of her age, but a liability on the battlefield. Not only that, but her childhood personality was actively loathed by us, the fans watching, because it was annoying. Have you ever met a fourteen year old who wasn’t annoying? It’s the dawning realization that none of us liked Ahsoka much until she’d had her innocence seared out by blaster fire. It’s the shame of knowing that we saw her slow painful slide into loss and suffering as growth, as development into something more palatable, less bothersome, more mature for her age. Because it’s fiction, and fiction doesn’t need to be realistic, just entertaining, and we’d never look at a Real Kid that way. It’s just the knowledge that anakin was a slave with a slave mother until he was nine, and at nine spoke with the gravity and wry wit of someone who has witnessed hell. It’s that he was married with a child at nineteen, crouched in the dirt bloody as bombs shot overhead and his little sister tried not to cry in his arms and his men died without hope beside him, and would stay that way for three years.

They stop keeping score a few seasons in. I don’t remember when. They stop because it wouldn’t work anymore, it wouldn’t be funny. We wouldn’t find it funny. Games can’t make war fun when you aren't a child.

these both look like you walked in on a private conversation and they want you to leave. it evokes SOME kind of emotion in me
