Summary:
What if Order 66 happened differently... but the Clone Wars ended on a somewhat sour note? But with a galaxy united? This series aims to explore that. Like I said earlier... I made another failed Order 66 AU.
starting sotr is like starting star wars prequels bc u know that everything has already happened and u can't do anything about it (u still hope that everything will be different)
I was today years old when I discovered that Obi-Wan Kenobi's name didn't mean "no one, child of no clan" in canon.
IT'S FANON. IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
According to Google...
(To my defense, I have watched the main 6 movies and nothing else. EVERYTHING else I know about Star Wars is from fanfiction.)
Obiwan AU
Okay, so when the Jedi find the clones and the clones are given up as property of the Jedi, the long necks concede legal right over them. But some of the clones are still children sized, right? So therefore the Jedi order have custody of them. But they still need to be trained into Soldiers so they stay on Kamino. But the Jedi still are their legal guardians so therefore they send a crèche master to watch over them. (Bonus if it is Obiwan because I have read Crèche master Fics with him and they are adorable). So the children clones now have more of a childhood and a parent figure. New shinies re coming to their battalions with stories about their childhoods that involve hugs and proper parenting. The older clones are baffled and soon begin to return to Kamino on their breaks to see for themselves. Soon the crèche master has a whole army as their family, demanding bedtime stories and hug as. Also, because of this new close relationship between the Jedi and the clones, the chips are discovered and order 66 never happens.
(Extra bonus points if this is Codywan. Or it could just be platonic 212th with Obiwan. I just want every clone to adopt this man. Someone please write this!!!)
It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn anything so I hope you like it🫶🏻
No because I am the niche. Or maybe the niche was made for me. Honestly, what am I even learning in college if I cannot even articulate this properly?
Anyway—I am obsessed with the Star Wars prequels and Squid Game, and when I say I have been thinking about this exact crossover too?? I am losing it. I need to write this immediately. They really do have so many parallels and both pairings make me want to sob 😭
In-ho as Anakin | Vader and Gi-hun as Padmé? The emotional devastation. The tragedy. The drama. And now I cannot stop thinking about who the rest of the cast would be in this AU. It is over for me. I have no choice but to write this.
this is so incredibly niche, but i don't even care anymore.
inhun and anidala, as couples and as separate people, have quite a few parallels, and i need to talk abt them.
the way that inho's front man outfit and the darth vader suit are similar. a mask hiding their faces, modifying their voices, making them seem unhuman with its features. the way that both suits set them apart from the other workers and the way they completely hide the person beneath it.
inho and anakin both being on the "right" side, a cop and a jedi. people who protect others, who should be a positive force in the world. but both the police and the jedi have a lot of problems in how they can intervene during certain situations.
both of them wanted to save their pregnant wives and both failed, with anakin believing both padmé and their child died, while inho's actually passed away.
they both have an older man who serves as a mentor and introduces them to the dark world they will soon be a driving force in (palpatine with the sith, and ilnam with the games). in both cases, anakin and inho are the successors when said mentors die.
anakin tried to recruit luke to the dark side, and inho tried to recruit junho to join the games.
padmé and gihun are both idealists who sacrificed their personal lives to make the world a better place. they are protectors and nurturers.
padmé accepts the role of senator because she needs to try to change the current status quo, and gihun pursues those who are being the games to bring them to justice for what they have done.
gihun watches as the man he loves becomes unhinged and cruel (sangwoo), and the same happens to padmé as she witnesses anakin's descent into madness. both plead with said men to turn back, and both almost die at the hands of these men.
padmé and gihun both thrive for justice and for those who harm others to be brought down, and they are both key players in trying to destitute a power-hungry leader (padmé creating the rebel alliance against palpatine and gihun leading the revolt against the front man).
and, finally, the speech anakin gives padmé in aotc:
From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again... I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you- I can't breath. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating... hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me... what can I do?- I will do anything you ask. ...If you are suffering as much as I am, please, tell me.
and later on, padmé's response:
I'm not afraid to die. I've been dying a little bit each day since you came back into my life. [...] I love you. [...] I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyway. I truly... deeply... love you and before we die I want you to know.
these are so inhun coded to me 😩
inho can't stop thinking about gihun after first seeing him yell at the cameras abt deok-su killing that player (for me, this was when inho's fascination with gihun began), and now that gihun is near him again, he can't breath, haunted by the friendship and camaraderie and love gihun handed him when he was "youngil".
and gihun loves inho, even as his life is being destroyed around him. he doesn't want to love him but he does, so much. he's not scared of dying, he's scared of his feelings for inho, of how much he loves this seemingly cruel man. and now gihun needs inho to know that everything gihun gave him was real.
Do you ever imagine that all your favorite characters, who have absolutely no connection to each other, just chill in your head when you’re not actively thinking about them?
For me, it’s like: Leonardo from the 2003 iteration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sam Winchester from Supernatural, and Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Star Wars prequels all sitting at a table sipping tea. And yes, they’re totally aware they’re in my head:
Leonardo: [staring at the mug in front of him] Is it just me, or does everything feel... jittery today?
Sam: [rubbing his temples] Oh, it’s not just you. I think she’s had, like, three cups of coffee already this morning.
Obi-Wan: [raising an eyebrow] Three cups? Amateur. During the Clone Wars, I once drank six cups in one briefing just to stay awake while Anakin explained his ‘perfect’ plan to flank a droid battalion. It wasn’t perfect. I ended up digging us out of a crater for three hours.
Leonardo: [sighing] No wonder I’ve been feeling like I should be training non-stop. The energy in here is buzzing.
Sam: [grinning slightly] Hey, at least she’s somewhat productive when caffeinated. Sometimes it’s just doomscrolling and procrastination.
Obi-Wan: [calmly setting his cup down] Perhaps we should find a way to encourage her to hydrate. Tea, perhaps?
Sam: [shrugging] We can try, but she won’t listen to me about drinking water. Dean’s been yelling at her from somewhere in the subconscious for years.
Leonardo: Maybe if we say it’ll help her focus on writing, she’ll actually consider it.
Obi-Wan: [thoughtfully] A clever suggestion. But I suspect we may be at the mercy of her next coffee run regardless.
If I’m right about this. I’m going to blow up
Edit: it was fake but ah well
Children who managed to get out of the temple and into safe places by margine, carrying a baby in their arms or clutching another younger child to themselves. Children who learned to fight and protect, not for their people as a whole, but for the baby or smaller child in their arms. Children who made themselves into swords and shields for the younger, more scared, smaller children they barely managed to save.
Having BIG™ feelings about how most of the Jedi that survived Order 66 were literal children.
Children whose brothers turned on them, and whose parental figures were ripped from them for reasons that they would never understand. Children who didn't know how to live in a galaxy who accepted them, much less one that didn't. Children who had to shed the identity they'd had longer than they could remember just to survive. Children who watched as their people were labeled terrorists and the things they held sacred were desecrated to the purpose of hurting the people they were made to protect.
Children who had to pick up the (often literal) sword of those who'd come before them to protect innocents and hold onto what scraps of their culture that were left. That, to their limited knowledge, believed themselves to be the very last of their kind. Children who bore the weight of bringing justice to the deaths of thousands of their kin, not through revenge, but through the restoration of peace. Who in the fight towards peace, had to once again become weapons instead of peacemakers.
Of them training padawans when they were technically still padawans themselves. Who had to teach what broken pieces of their culture that they could still remember, because they were still learners when they stopped learning. Who taught in the middle of surviving in a galaxy that was out to get them on all sides. Whose padawans never got the chance to go to Ilum, or see the Temple on Coruscant, or bond with other padawans, or any other experience that should've been theirs by birthright.
If I think about it for too long my brain stops working and I cry.
Was supposed to be a warmup but eh…
Stars Wars Fanon Overtime
So I was thinking a lot about how Star Wars fanon must have changed overtime right? like New Hope came out in the late 70s and Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi in the early 80s. I can't help but wonder what people thought of these characters when the movies were first coming out. Like before Anakin and Vader were revealed to be the same person what did people think happened between Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Vader? What did people think happened during the Clone Wars. How did people think the empire came about.
And then when the Vader/Anakin twist did happen how did that change/impact the narrative people had come up with at the time. How did they reinterpret Anakin/Vader and Obi-Wan's relationship. What did they think the Jedi Order was like? What was the theories they held about how the force worked? After it was reveled that Leia and Luke were twins how did the story fans crafted within their communities change?
How did people think Anakin fell to the the dark side? What do they think were the triggers to the change? What was pre-prequel Anakin Skywalker like?
Padme's name or backstory isn't even revealed until the prequels! How did fans fill in the gaps? What were the names she was commonly given? What did they think she looked like? What was her personality like? How did they think she and Anakin fell in love? When did they think it happened? What were the common ways she died (if they thought she was dead)?
So I guess what I'm asking is if there are any old school Star Wars fans on this hellsite please tell me!
One of the things that I don't understand in Star Wars is the way they handle blockades. Like in s3 of Rebels when Thrawn attacks Atollon
I've never understood why they don't just go around the planet??? Like, there's no imperials there???
Like, surely they all would've been able to escape that way? There's no way that there's only one hyperspace lane to get off planet, and it's not like their goal was to travel directly to Yavin IV either. They could also travel to the other side on the surface of the planet too if space travel isn't an option.
Am I just dumb? Is it explained why they can't do that and I'm just an idiot?

Why have I never seen seen this show before
went to see rots last night and what a fun experience! my mom and i didn’t get to see it in theaters when it first came out, so it was new to both of us. seeing padme, my favorite character, on the big screen while dressed as her was such a great feeling, as was being surrounded by fellow nerds.
girls don’t want flowers, girls want queen/senator amidala’s wardrobe
i am very specifically talking about this dress (for those who can’t see the image it’s the dress she wears on the flight back to naboo, and during qui-gon’s funeral). it’s dramatic, it’s gorgeous, and i will be making myself a wearable version in the future.
Robins Lost Files
Day 1
This is my first Journal entry on my newly gifted recorded journal! My parents got me this for my birthday today so I had to use it, I showed my friends at the academy I attended and they were so excited, we played with it a few times but ending up losing the file sadly.
There wasn’t that much to talk about since I mostly put the drama on my diary, which I accidentally dropped it in one of our trash burners in the kitchen the day before I got this, I don’t remember all of it sadly but of some rumor of a bad Jedi in Coruscant??
To my future self if you ever find this recording again, hope it brings a laugh in the future files to be recorded!

What Is Star Wars To You?
Hey, everybody!!!! I'm working on a rewrite of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and I'm trying to get lots of people's thoughts on what Star Wars is to them and what really makes Star Wars *Star Wars*, ya know?
I'm really curious, because for me, most of Disney's Star Wars content has really just not felt like Star Wars. I really did not like the sequel trilogy or most of the live action shows, but I absolutely adore TCW, TBB, and Andor, because they all really hit whatever it is that is Star Wars to me.
Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts!! Also, no hate to anyone who does love the sequel trilogy or other Disney Star Wars content, I would love to hear what it is about it that makes you love it and makes it feel like Star Wars to you!
