Skywalker Twins - Tumblr Posts
I’m Luke Skywalker, I’m here to rescue you!
TFA Countdown
Day 29 - Favourite Cast Relationship: Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill
Okay so I may have spent the greater part of the day thinking about this instead of studying but like image:
The Skywalker twins are born earlier in the war & despite the fact that they are all deeply involved in the war Padme + Anakin + Obi Wan (because lets be real he’s parent #3) decide they are going to use paid babysitters as little as possible and have the twins with them as much as possible.
It becomes quickly (and semi-reluctantly) accepted by everyone that Padme and Obi Wan will have a twin or two swaddled against their chests during meetings.
Padme debates policies on the Senate floor with Luke asleep in a sling.
Obi Wan helps organize troop movements with Leia held in one arm, the other hand and just a touch of the Force to keep her entertained.
Anakin quickly masters the art of moving around ships to repair/enhance with Leia strapped to his chest and Luke his back.
It becomes a common sight to see Ahsoka walking through the halls of the Jedi Temple or the Senate Building with one of the children taking them to one of their parents because “Obi Wan was helping teach the younglings and they got fussy” or “Anakin and I have been sent on an impromptu mission and he’s finishing preparations”.
R2-D2 learns that if you rock the carrier they are in the human infants will stop its screeching.
Half the clones have at some point one of them unceremoniously shoved into their hands with the order of “keep them safe and get them out of here” because a situation has suddenly and unexpectedly erupted into violence and their parent/s are about to run into the fray.
Bail Organa has a small supply of baby toys/a spare set of clothes in his office for occasions where something has come up and Padme needs to go NOW and “would you mind? Just until Obi Wan can get here from the temple?”
There are even times where Mace ends up with one of them in his custody. He spends the time informing them of all the traits of their parents they are not to inherit, starting with “having children with Senators in the middle of a war”
I think I could go on forever but just the Skywalker twins ending up with like 100 unintentional non-blood aunt/uncles because there is a war going on & their parents are determined to use as little hired help as possible (so instead all their friends end up being roped into it)
An amusing series of thoughts popped into my head while reading some Star Wars AO3 content.
Luke likely felt Leia's labor pains. No amount of shielding was going to keep her projections at bay.
Heck, he probably felt all of her cravings, discomforts, and mood swings.
Just picture Han coming home one afternoon to find the twins on the couch, each with their own pint of ice cream and sobbing over a sentimental chewing gum commercial (oddly specific, yes, but I couldn't help but borrow from my own pregnancy meltdowns).
I think I may have found my next topic...
We need an animated series about Luke and Leia in the aftermath of the Return of the Jedi where they learn how to be siblings
