I'd love to read your approach on a Modern-AU Obi-Wan. What does he do for work? And also, as you're in law, do u think in a modern AU Obi-Wan'd be a lawyer? if so, what branch of law he would specialize in?
Have had this sitting on my drafts for a while now but the love hypothesis news got me thinking about it so much, so here we go 💘
I don’t think he’d be a lawyer😭 but if he was, he’d be a scholar. I do see him in academia (flowers for spring, groundbreaking!) so I wrote a few HC 🤎
Modern AU Obi-wan head cannons.
Obi-wan is a scholar, works at a University teaching & doing research.
He lives nearby and drives an electric car.
Does not live in a big main city, but a smaller, less chaotic, but still chic city.
He, almost exclusively, listens to Jazz & Blues, but the rock music that kid Skywalker plays has been getting in his head lately.
If he’s in social sciences, he’d be closer to be a sociologist or international studies than litigation.
Though if you really wanted him to be a lawyer he would probably be a prosecutor. And a very uptight one; everything by the book and all.
Total environmental advocator, gets it from his former advisor, Qui-Gon Jin, PhD.
He is the hot teacher and he knows it. Secretly enjoys making students and colleagues blush, but gets really shy when it’s the other way around.
One time a student wrote their number on a test and he gasped—loudly—in the middle of the room, during an exam.
He loves to sneak in the astronomy building to take a look through the telescope. Big fan of the universe.
If you try to kiss him in campus he gets shy and looks everywhere around. Not because it’s wrong or he is ashamed, but because he thinks he should be a moral authority for students.
His office is filled with plants and books.
He smells woodsy and musky. (Im shitty describing smells)
Even if you’re in campus, he is always touching you; hand holding, arm around your shoulders, hand on your knee. That man’s love language is physical touch.
He, of course, has some slutty little glasses.
