sometimes i think to myself that anakin might have wound up way happier if he'd been put in the exploration corps instead of the temple.
#anakin skywalker#star wars#exploration corps#exploracorps#why aren't there tags for them#au where anakin gets to see all the stars and doesn't end up destroying the galaxy in the process#yeah sure the temple's rejection would sting at first but he's nine#he'd get over it#he'd still get to learn how to use the force#just probably in secret and unconventionally#and he'd get to reminisce about the people he cares about without being constantly berated about it#because he isn't a jedi padawan so he doesn't have to deal with all their emotionally repressed bullshit#he'd be with people who could understand not living up to the temple's expectations#and who wouldn't force him into a mold he wasn't meant for#he'd get to be himself#i want to write this now#exploracorps anakin au
