Anakin: Master, you can’t just-

Obi-Wan: Yes I can, Anakin Skywalker! She didn’t even ask for your hand before stealing you away like some barbaric queen of old, defiling you in secret without my blessing. It’s just insulting.

Anakin: ...um... so she... hmmm... what would you have said if she asked for my hand?

Obi-Wan: The same thing any other Old Guard Master like myself would have done; given her as task of great importance. If she survived, she would have earned the right to love you as you both wish.

Padme: *deciding to play along* ...what sorta task?

Anakin: *gasp* Padme, you can’t do that! Nothing dangerous!

Obi-Wan: Oh, the most dangerous of all tasks.

Anakin: Obi-Wan, no!

Padme: I can handle it.

Anakin: *is precious dumb baby* :(

Obi-Wan: Steal Chancellor Palpatine’s Correlian brandy from his office.

Anakin: ...??? *fully thinks that Palps would laugh it off and hand it to her if she even asked*

Padme: Done. *heads off*

One hour later

Padme: *busting into Obi-Wan’s apartment in a panic with Bail Organa and Mon Mothma* YALL WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT I JUST FOUND OUT HOLY SHIT WE NEED TO CALL THE JEDI COUNCIL-

10 years later

Obi-Wan: And that, my dears, is how your mother won your fathers hand in marriage and saved the republic by ending a war.

Luke: *plays with ship*

Leia: *braiding Luke’s hair* Mom did good. I will do better when I ask for my husband’s hand.

The "Din and Luke first meet on Tatooine" AU is a classic one, but what if it was right before Return of the Jedi instead?

"If you want to hurt a padawan, make sure the Master is no longer around" (paraphrasing) might be a fanon line, but honestly it's so peak. 10/10

You can't tell me his eyes don't glow in the dark

The premise for DM is that some kid has an amnesiac ancient egyptian ghost haunting him and various billionaires are going to try to divest him of his jewellery. What DM is about is platonic devotion, staying true to your friends, the all encompassing power of love, and the eventual burden of moving on from death. This entire thing is painted in the aesthetics of 90's punk and visual kei.

The premise for GX is a kid attends card game high school and goes on wacky adventures. What GX is about is growing up, about seeing the world get more and more dark as you get older until you don't think you are the same person anymore, and having to hold onto the things that make you you. The later seasons draw heavy inspiration from lovecraftian cosmic horror.

The premise for 5Ds is a street punk has to team up with new friends and old enemies to fight on behalf of ancient south american space gods. What 5Ds is about is classism, and tools of oppression in a hi-tech futuristic society that is literally powered by magic. The visual language ping pongs between classic cyberpunk grunge and ultra sleek hypermodern.

The premise for Zexal is a different kid with a different amnesiac ghost that lives inside his necklace team up to find his memories. What Zexal is about is human connection, about reaching out a hand into the dark, about not being alone, and the pointlessness of war. This entire thing is themed with elements of the christian bible.

The premise for Arc-V is a theatre kid who travels the worlds spreading cheer and smiles with his circus performances. What Arc-V is about is child soldiers, and indoctrination into the military industrial complex, and the emotional dissonance that forms between events of trauma and day-to-day survival. One of the characters is inexplicably a traditional japanese shinobi.

The premise for VRAINS is a depressed highschooler cybercrime-ing his way through the internet so he can find answers to why he was kidnapped and tortured when he was 8. What VRAINS is about is the future of corporate greed, about healing, about what makes a consciousness, and the poisoning power of hate. A solid 50% of the story is just really good goofs on modern internet culture.

The Once and Future Kings

Ahsoka is positive that Yoda is trying to punish her but in actual fact the masters are just trying to contain all the crazy to one single lineage and hoping it doesn't all go to hell
