An Alliance Forged
Jedi Knight, Ahsoka Tano has been captured by the Fett gang, a notorious group of bounty hunters she's been chasing down for years. But it turns out, the brig of their ship might be exactly where she needs to be.
Set in an AU where Jango escaped with the clones before the Battle of Geonosis. His actions threw a wrench in Palps' plans and the "Clone Wars" became a cold war with minor unofficial skirmishes between jedi and separatist forces. In the meantime, the Fett family has been trying to find ways to take down Palpatine but have been thwarted by Jedi along the way, particularly one Obi-Wan Kenobi and his chaotic lineage.
"So, padawan Tano-"
"It's Knight now, actually."
"Right," Rex sighed impatiently, "Knight Tano then, do we have a deal?"
The Jetii crossed her arms and leaned back, regarding him suspiciously, "You realize that you're asking me to assist a horde of criminal bounty hunters who've been an absolute skank in the scudpie for three years, in the assassination of the head of the Republic which I've sworn to protect, committing not only murder, but treason as well?
"I'm asking you to help me to execute a Sith Lord who's been playing you and the rest of the galaxy like a game of sabaccc since this whole war started!" he returned with such earnestness in his honey brown eyes that it was frightening.
"And you expect me to believe you?" she prodded him.
"Would you still be here if you didn't?"
The Lady Tano's heart skipped a beat.
"Fair point," she sighed resignedly and subsequently deactivated the energy shield which until then had acted as a cell door, "Alright Rexter-"
"It's Rex."
She waved her hand dismissively, "You've got yourself a jedi." And by ways of proving it, the two clasped each other's wrists in a hearty handshake.
"Now tell me," she inquired, as they set off down the hall at an easy pace, "You have one jedi on your side, but how are you planning on getting past the rest?"
"Already got that covered," he said, and winking mischievously at her, "My brothers and I will take care of it."
The jetii nodded thoughtfully, counting up in her head the dozen or so armor-clad figures they'd passed in their short walk toward the bridge.
"How many brothers do you have?" she finally asked, as they approached the elevator and at least 10 more spilled past them. She'd known there were many Fetts, but even in her worst confrontations with them, she'd never seen so many in one place.
"I'd say a million or so," he answered truthfully and got a mirthful sense of satisfaction in the way her eyes went wide as saucers while the elevator door closed behind them
HAPPY SPIDER-MAN DAY!!!!
(freshman year Peter and Gwen because they make me happy)
So, I finished reading the first book in the Bounty Hunter Wars and...
I enjoyed the plot, but not the writing, if that makes any sense. The idea of destabilizing the bounty hunter's guild drew me in, and the mystery of the dancing girl from Jabba's palace absolutely kept me reading. She and her interactions with Boba Fett were the most interesting part of the book.
The writing, however, is the exact opposite of the "show don't tell" rule. There is so much inner monologuing by at least three different characters (Xizor, Boba, and Bossk's father) about how ruthless they are; however we don't actually see much of this in practice. The book's length could have been halved if there weren't at least two of these monologues every chapter, or perhaps they could have been replaced with other characters observing this self-described ruthless, cold, or calculating behavior.
I'm excited to keep reading, but I hope the writing gets better. I read Karen Traviss's books and she sets a pretty high bar .
I'm getting pretty sick of reading about how cold and emotionless Boba Fett is. If he has to remind himself this many times, maybe he needs to do some serious self examination.

there are also a lot of traits that get very broadly assigned to a species, not as necessarily a common cultural thing but an inherent instinct or skill set. This makes sense when it comes to actual instincts and senses, such a special powers that might be useful in a fight. But segments like "it had taken some doing, plus prying and digging with various tools improvised from stiff, sharp pointed pieces of wire. But those were the sorts of skills that Twi males were born with." Just come across as weird and vague.
This is gonna be more of a personal documentation for me, but I do want to post my thoughts as I read. The first one being that while I understand that Trandoshans are ruthless, the author does not have to hammer that home to me every other paragraph. Especially not by implying that all Trandoshans are inherently evil and biologically incapable of valuing sentient life. Unless your villain is a psychopath serial killer, having him have no regard for any life, not even his own son's makes me question what his motive is in the first place, or why he follows any rules.
So, I just started reading the Bounty Hunter Wars, and while I am totally hooked on the mystery, I have to say, the writing is really putting me off

BTVS s07e02 "Beneath You"
Buffy, "Do not start by saying you're sorry"
And oh let me tell you that is a hard thing to hear and actually do (not apologize) when you gravely hurt someone.
And Spike listens. And this episode only just starts to show that he changes that he is not going to force his presence on Buffy. But if she wants him there then he will be there. Spike, "I'm just a guy who can lend a hand, if you'll let me."

I think Ezra should be Finn's Jedi master: he would appreciate the genius of the gunsaber.
HE SO WOULD YOU'RE RIGHT

So, a while back I was watching Frequency (2000) and I had this idea for a Star Wars AU
Takes place during Luke's training with Yoda on Dagobah
Luke discovers force cave on his own where he's able to talk to Anakin through time
Luke thinks Vader killed Anakin + doesn't know how his mom died
First Contact: no info exchanged, but Luke is fascinated by the thought that he may be communicating with other surviving Jedi, potentially a whole surviving order like what Anakin describes
Luke asks Obi-Wan who explains that there was an order, but describes Order 66 + Downfall
Luke asks Yoda about the Clone Wars + his father and mother but Yoda is reluctant to answer. Luke then appeals to ghost Obi-Wan who gives him a slightly modified version of the story with several true details.
"Chancellor Palpatine gave Order 66 and ensnared your father. When your mother, Senator Amidala arrived to beg for his life, Darth Vader murdered the both of them."
During Luke's second encounter in the cave, he tries to warn Anakin
"Listen to me- listen to me! Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord and he's luring you into a trap. If you had just-"
"Listen, I don't know who you are, but Chancelor Palpatine is a good man-"
"What about Mom?"
"What are you-"
"Padme Amidala, something happened to her, Vader or the Emperor-"
"No!"
"Listen to me-"
"You stay away from her!"
The connection is lost, and Luke goes back to training. Yoda can sense that his mind is troubled.
Luke's words echo through Anakin's thoughts as he sits beside Palpatine at the Opera. He accuses Palpatine and a fight ensues. Palpatine gets away, and in the future Padme is still dead.
Luke and Anakin shift their focus figuring out who Darth Vader is and how to stop him

Almost finished with my custom painted Mara Jade, but the face didn't come out as well as I would have liked. Any suggestions?
My Friend the Star Pilot
Chapter 4: The Solution
His uncle was going to kill him, that much Ben was certain of as he shoved his pack full of- he wasn’t sure what. It didn’t matter. His voices were saying things he couldn’t understand. They sounded like the man he’d seen in the holocrons, but he knew it couldn’t be his grandfather.
Sensing something, Ben whirled and the eerie glow of his uncle’s saber pierced the darkness. The world around him swam in green.
“Wake up,” Luke said.
Before he knew what he was doing, he’d ignited his own saber.
He ran his uncle through.
