Obsessed with that old man

Dooku’s father beating his ass for being force sensitive and Cosinga Palpatine immediately picking up that Palpatine was different and hating him is so interesting. It’s just unfortunate that being force sensitive outside of being a Jedi or sith isn’t explored. It’s like that one good moment in the last Jedi when the kid uses the force to move the broom. Just makes me think of the kids growing up without the guidance the Jedi order provided.

Actually I can imagine the galaxy finding out Palpatine was force sensitive would have a really bad impact on the way they see force sensitives. Like they already hated the Jedi for the clone war, but imagine finding out the emperor was force sensitive on top of Vader being exposed as a former Jedi AND the poster boy of the war they already resented the Jedi over.

I think Luke’s small isolated attempt at restarting the Jedi order is pretty realistic. It would have failed at being in anyway as influential or accepted as the old order, and could even be used to maintain the jedi’s underdog status without just doing the empire again. It would have been a lot of fun to explore if they’d thought about it more instead of just retreading the same shit.

#I've always found the element of it being most noticeable in babies/toddlers but sort of fading without training interesting#cause you have to wonder if getting a negative response causes small children to repress it#and then it's like. if you blindfolded a baby their eyes wouldn't develop properly#is it like that#do they use the force when they're helpless babes and it's just as hard or easier than everything else they're trying to do#but it scares people. it scares their guardians. so it scares them#so they stop#and they learn to walk and speak and use their hands#and that doesn't scare anyone. so the connection to the force doesn't develop so much.#idk (tags via @ahsoka-in-a-hood )

i think if i were a jedi i would make it my life mission to make yoda angry. i would give anything to hear his little goblin voice mutter the words “thin fucking ice, you are on” and click his little cane on the ground. i would do anything. kick him as im walking and be like “oh sorry didnt see you there.” go with him to the market and try to buy him for four credits and say “oh my bad i thought you were a head of cabbage.” raise all the chairs in the jedi temple just an inch. catch him while he’s sleeping and paint his little nails and then be like “odd that someone caught you slippin master yoda. wonder who could have done that.” leave crumbs in his seat in the jedi council. i mean i would do anything

The fanon concept of Fox killing Palpatine in almost every fic, art or text post is hillarious because it really shows how many of us can empathize with some dude who wants to kill his boss. Only Fox’s boss is the incarnate of all things evil and not just some dude who needs to get his life together

No no listennnn it’s the way Obi-Wan drags out the first ‘a’ in Anakin’s name. It’s the way everyone else ignores the hyphen in Obi-Wan’s name and runs it all together but Anakin pronounces every syllable slowly and clearly. It’s how Anakin was the only constant in Obi-Wan’s life from the time Qui-Gon died, how he threw all of his energy into keeping Anakin safe and sheltered, because he’d already seen too many horrors as a slave. It’s about how Anakin went to Obi-Wan’s room every night for a year because he was afraid he would disappear like Qui-Gon and his mom, and Obi-Wan lost sleep because he doesn’t know how to swim. It’s how Anakin grumbled and complained about Obi-Wan’s teaching to others because his feelings were so muddled and confused and yet he would die for him in a heartbeat and thrived on his approval. How Anakin, hours after losing his mom horrifically and suddenly, threw himself into a battle with Count Dooku on Geonosis and lost his arm to save Obi-Wan because he couldn’t lose him too. How Obi-Wan tried to steer Anakin from attachment but in the process became irrevocably attached himself, admitting multiple times to loving Anakin, passing down the gift his own Master gave him for his birthday years ago that meant nothing to Obi-Wan when he got it but meant everything to Anakin because it was from Obi-Wan, holding onto Anakin’s lightsaber and cloak when all else of him was lost, taking care of his children because they were living pieces of him. It’s that they called each other and asked after the other constantly when they’re apart during the Clone Wars. It’s that Ahsoka was technically Anakin’s Padawan but they thought of her as theirs and she called them her parents to others. It’s the little things like Anakin modifying Obi-Wan’s R4 droid to look like his own R2 unit. It’s the big things like them being able to sense one another from lightyears away even after Anakin turns. It’s Obi-Wan willfully turning a blind eye to Anakin’s violations of the code because he wanted him to be happy more than he wanted him to be a good Jedi. Anakin still referring to him as “Master” even after their apprenticeship is over, to their last battle; Anakin wishing that Obi-Wan would stay with him in his time of need rather than go to fight General Grievous and end the war; that they were the greatest Jedi to live, at the end of the age of heroes, “the best for last” and they were so insanely, disgustingly, beyond attached despite the Code’s teachings on what made a Jedi good, and they were the best. They were the best because they were together. Because they were Kenobi and Skywalker and that became one name, the name of the Open Circle Fleet, name of the greatest duo the Jedi had ever seen. I consider almost nothing from the sequel trilogy canon EXCEPT for the force dyad because you can’t tell me they weren’t one and never even knew because that was just how they were. They just figured they matched each other’s freak too hard. That’s just them.
