Star Wars Prequels - Tumblr Posts

You know this trope when a character has power that is so strong they actually sUCK AT USING IT PRECISELY……..

✨🌙  ART LOG ->  @404ama

when you’re only ten and nothing makes sense and your teacher/brother/dad goes and gets himself critically injured on a mission 

(it’s young obi-wan and even younger anakin angst hours)

part 2

During the prequels…

I think Sheev will be awake at 3 a.m. and he’ll call the Separatist’s Assassin Hotline to try and kill Padme Amidala because her death would help Anakin fall, but mostly because he’s bored and watching the assassins scramble to kill Padme (who might have unlocked immortality) is better than the opera. 

a modern look at the handmaidens

Padme is a model turned actor turned director.

Sabe is a circus performer turned stunt person turned motorcycle racer.

They met on a film set and became friends. Years later they meet at a gala and fall in love.

Happy Halloween👻

This is supposed to be Yan Dooku from The 212th Attack Battalion’s Guide to Staging Rescues but I guess he also passes as Thorin Oakenshield if he cut his hair. 

I don’t know if anyone else has talked about this but I’m watching the Hidden Enemy and I noticed that R2D2 and Rex (and the rest of the 501st) have the same colors. Did the 501st choose their color blue because of R2D2? Could R2D2 be their mascot? Could this represent Anakin’s light side. His lightsaber color, his droid, his men. He meets R2 around the same time he joins the order. When Anakin goes to the Temple to kill the Jedi, the 501st are with him in their blue. I’ve seen theory videos where he hasn’t hit the point of no return yet. There is still blue. After, there is no more blue and R2.

(Also what if the 501st and 212th represent R2D2 and C3PO. 501st is blue and chaos. C3PO is gold and order)

I need fanfiction about Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has two padawans, Y/N and Anakin who both have tendency to cause chaos, get in trouble or run away to do something very idiotic, the second Obi turns his back to them. Which every time leads to Obi reprimanding both of them after stopping and/or saving them or the others from them. Obi is like this tired single parent looking after two crackhead of a kids. Also Padme should be included, maybe like I put in the tags.

Could someone please write this?

Feel free to reblog and if someone knows who writes for this fandom or this type of stories, tell me.

B in "Obi" stands for binch.

Some Star Wars Things to Keep You Awake at Night

If ‘Amidala’ was Padme’s ‘Political Name’ and ‘Naberrie’ was her true surname and any person on Naboo serving in any Political Office used a Political name during their tenure in Public Office than does that mean that Palpatine isn’t the Emperor’s real surname and if it’s not than what IS his real surname?

In TESB Vader offers to finish Luke’s Force Training, overthrow the Emperor together, end the destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy. Fast-forward to RotJ and Vader tells Luke that the Emperor will show him the true nature of the Force and that the Emperor will be his Master from now on. Why the shift in thinking? Is he just saying words just in case the Emperor was watching them? Doesn’t Vader know about the Sith’s Rule of Two: one Master and one Apprentice? Wait, he would have to know since he’s been a Sith for 23ish years but if he’s saying that the Emperor will be Luke’s Master . . . .

Oh, I think I see now, he wanted Luke to live and having Luke replace him as the Sith Apprentice was the only solution he could find to keep his son, the child he thought was dead for 20 years, alive.

In the second Rush Clovis Arc Captain Typho had a medical droid called to tend to Clovis’s injuries and the medical droid put Clovis in contact with Dooku at Sidious’s request. Does this mean that ALL the medical droids in Padme’s building have hidden programs that have them report to Sidious? Is it just her medical droids? Did she get treated at any point in her pregnancy by a medical droid that would have reported her condition to Sidious? If so did he have the Droid tell her that there was just one? If things didn’t work out with Anakin was he going to take one of the twins and if Padme was alone and drugged she wouldn’t know possibly that there was two. Did Sidious have other Droids spying on Senators?

Dooku left the Order after TPM and Qui-Gon’s death but at some point Sidious reached out to him and converted him to the Dark Side BEFORE TPM as he was responsible for Sifo-Dyas death about the same time as TPM and ordering the Clone Army. How did Sidious meet Dooku and why did he convert him to his side and just how many other Jedi were converted to the side of the SIth, not just during the PT time frame, but in the decades and centuries before TPM?

Did these secretly evil Jedi recruit Barriss Offee to their cause? Barriss did mention she was hanging out with some Jedi that had a certain view on the War.  If so did they ask her to frame Ahsoka for the Temple Bombing?

If Maul hadn’t been killed on Naboo would Dooku have stayed in the Jedi Order and if so what role would he serve? Would he have voiced concerns about fighting in a galactic war? Would he have tried to divide the Jedi Order in two due to the war?

Or would Dooku have still left but Maul would have filled General Grievous’s shoes since Grievous possibly a replacement for Maul?

Melida/Daan: The Legend of Ben

Ben is among the oldest of all the young at 13.

At 13 he soothes the fevers of the littlest who have never had enough strength or food or love, he holds up buildings that should collapse and kill them all (yet he does not do so with his strength for he is scrawny like them, weak like them. He doesn’t even touch the wood) finds water sources that are impossible to see, shoots steady even when his hands shake (as if guided by something, as if he is not entirely himself but something other, something more).

He calls it the force, they call it Ben.

At 13 he becomes a legend.

Legends aren’t born, but made in the desperate tunnels full of dying children. They say he appeared one day from the sky, that when his elders left, he refused to. That he was not born on the bloody battlefields of hate, but that he stayed because he saw them, felt with them, heard their song. He stayed when the Jedi left.

The children see how he balanced Cersai and Nield (love and hate, peace and war, water and fire). They see how the three click into place, Melida and Daan and Other. They wonder if maybe there was always an empty spot between them, waiting to be filled. Wonder if that is how this war started. Wonder if between every Melida and every Daan there is a space for something Other.

No one remembers how the war started, only that it did. Maybe there used to be a third faction, maybe something other (something more, something Ben) and when it died or left there was nothing left to bridge the Melida and the Daan.

Ben is sure as the earth, light as the air (only because they cannot hear him cry at night). He is a contradiction. He says strange things and does the impossible. Sometimes he glows with something else (something more).

He is remembered as the one who stayed (no one will say where he went). He is remembered as the Other between all Melida and all Daan.

There is an empty seat in every house. An empty seat in the Trivumate, waiting to be filled. Outside historians call it the Absent Third Phenomena— they are not sure why it is (they do not want to dig deeper, dig into the bloody history, tear their secrets and traditions and culture from the rotting bodies of child soldiers. they do not want to know). In Melida/Daan there is a word that is untranslatable that describes it, A’Benui. It is sacred. It is told to every child too young to remember the sewers, told by every Young that was touched by Ben (his something other).

(The Melida-Daan don’t know this, but somewhere else in the galaxy Obi-Wan Kenobi leads his second army of child soldiers and wonders if he was meant for anything else. Wonders if they see the cracks and uncertainty and self loathing; the first ones hadn’t. He wonders if they would be ashamed of him now, fighting, bleeding, warring, killing even now. Wonders if he will ever know peace or if he will always be a false legend made from blood and tears and a need to believe.)

Satine on her way to commit cultural genocide

Before Qui-Gon Jinn died, he used Ataru and had passed down his mastery to his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Ataru which relies on acrobatics, offense, quick movements, and unpredictability. Ataru which lacks defense, which Qui-Gon Jinn does using.

After Naboo, Obi-Wan Kenobi switches from the lightsaber form Ataru to Soresu.

Soresu is the Endurance form. It is an unpopular form amongst younglings because it is pure defense. They don’t understand how they can win using it. They’re right. You can’t win using Soresu, that’s not why it was made.

It is the form of survival, not winning. It is meant for the user to endure suffering, endless suffering and still stand. A Soresu master will never be struck down for lack of defense.

Obi-Wan Kenobi refuses to leave his Padawan masterless.

Maul is an absolute icon and here’s why:

He’s like a cockroach, he just won’t die. Partly due to him being a Zabrack, but also because the man ran on spite. Bisected and fell to your presumed death? Walk it off bc you still have people to kill. He lived into the Rebels series??? Iconic

He fought against the Jedi yeah, but he ended up fighting the empire. Not bc he had a moral code, but just bc he had personal beef with palpatine.

He was extremely obsessed with Kenobi, which is relatable.

All of his speeches about how the republic was dead and it couldn’t be saved, that there was no republic left were absolutely correct.

Count Dooku is a Shithead, but not for the reason you think:

So count Dooku was Qui-Gon Jinn’s master, but they were estranged because of very different personalities and outlooks, but Jinn was still his kid, so he very obviously cared for him

In fact, Qui-Gon’s death was the catalyst for Dooku leaving the order bc he had lots of critiques of the Jedi order (overly political, ineffective, hypocritical, not true to the code), but after Qui-gon died he was like “why bother?”

Which is my problem. Like sir, your grandchild is still perfectly alive and desperately in need of your help. His master is dead and he now has a traumatized child to raise while extremely traumatized himself. Qui-gon is dead, BUT YOUR GRANDCHILD IS RIGHT THERE?!?

No, instead of belong obi wan and offering support, he just dips

I love that no one knows what color Obi-Wan Kenobi’s hair is. Is it blonde, brown, ginger, somewhere in between?? No one knows, not even Disney.

Nobody made Anakin Skywalker fall.

He had a horrible life, yes. He grew up a slave, his mom died, the man who freed him died, the Jedi Council initially rejected him, Palpatine groomed him, Ashoka left the order, Obi-wan faked his death, he participated in a civil war.

All of this is absolutely horrible, traumatizing stuff and he no doubt had depression, raging bpd, and C-PTSD. However, none of that was an excuse commit multiple genocides, kill children, commit countless war crimes, choke out his pregnant wife, enforce galaxy wide tyranny, blow up a planet, and cut his sons hand off.

You don’t kill billions of people because you have untreated and unacknowledged trauma. You do it because you choose to.

He was a grown man. He could have gotten mental help, could’ve left the Jedi, could’ve rejected Palpatine, could have accepted the help of his loved ones (Obi-Wan and Padme). He could’ve have made different choices.

This isn’t an Anakin hate post though. He had good qualities. He was brave and loyal and clever and he loved deeply. But even before he became Darth Vader we saw that he was also cruel and selfish and arrogant. He told Padme that he didn’t believe in democracy. Anakin felt if everybody would just let him run things, then everything would be better. And that really is the center of his character. If Obi-Wan, if Padme, if the Jedi, had just let him run things and stop undermining and regulating him than he could fix everything.

He truly believed that everybody else was the problem not him. Additionally, his loyalty and deep love for others more often than not was unhealthy. He killed all the Tusken Raiders for his mother and killed the Jedi for Padme. His only moral compass was his loved ones and he was angry when they didn’t love him in the same way. Didn’t understand why they would be upset when he did it for them. Didn’t understand why they wouldn’t do the same for him.

At the heart of his character is Darth Vader. Anakin Skywalker didn’t become him, he was always him. That’s why I believe that even if he had a different master, if his mother hadn’t died, if the war hadn’t happened, and even if he didn’t fall in love with Padme that he would’ve fallen anyways. Those event exacerbated his issues, but they didn’t cause his selfishness or cruelty or narcissism.

He was a vivacious young boy, but he was a selfish, selfish boy.
