sorry for the spoiler but…I just had to edit Caleb, it’s a relatively quick edit, but still, more effort than the animators did. I hate what they did to him.

Kanan and Fulcrum are twins.

Ahsoka Tano and Caleb Dume were not twins. They were born on different days three years apart and raised in different crèche clans. Caleb wrote his name in a grammar textbook beneath Ahsoka Tano with Sakshi Adelė and Olub Bolane between them.

But Caleb and Ahsoka died on the same day.

Caleb Dume died with Depa Billaba in the Kalleran snow. He was killed by blaster bolts that never touched him and was cremated in a pyre that burned only a padawan braid.

Ahsoka Tano died on a Venator above Mandalore with the click of a button and a “don’t make me regret this.” She was buried in a mass grave she dug herself.

Agent Fulcrum and Kanan Jarrus were born on the same day. They were both born in the snow. They swaddled themselves in tattered cloaks; their first cries were choked sobs. Tears froze to their cheeks. Around them, the Force wept at thousands of deaths and millions of minds robbed of their will.

the kanera subplot of rebels season 4 makes a lot more sense when you realize you're watching two people in their late twenties with little-to-no sex ed staring down a pregnancy scare in the middle of a war.

#kanan is physically 32 and emotionally stunted #hera just turned 28 #they have no reason to think twileks and humans can interbreed #we are watching it through the eyes of their adopted teenagers who have no idea what's going on #kanera #star wars rebels #kanan jarrus #hera syndulla #not kotor

Dare I point out that Nalini Krishan is exactly the right age to reprise her role as Barriss Offee opposite Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka?

I don’t know why everyone’s assuming Tales of the Jedi ep 6 decanonises/replaces the Ahsoka novel when we can collectively accept the much funnier headcanon that the part on the farm just takes place after Raada

Ahsoka when hiding out on a farming settlement going by Ashla while accidentally charming a local girl attracts Imperial attention and she has to fight an inquisitor a second time in like two months: damn it I really thought that would work this time

#i'm saying #reblog #not kotor #ahsoka tano #like okay the resolve version of events does read quite easily as the elevator pitch version of ahsoka ya #or maybe a traveling puppet show: 'hay bales fall and nearly crush a girl (boxes nearly crush girls) but ashla uses the force' #'there's a brother and sister and the brother is suspicious of ashla' #'she's on a farm when an inquisitor finds her but she kills him with his own lightsaber' #'bail organa gets more refugees' #on the other hand it is much funnier to me if tales of the jedi happens between thabeska and raada #ahsoka agrees to get back in the fight then has a panic attack and flees to raada #'what do you mean the imperial with the lightsaber wasn't just a random coincidence?' #'the empire's logo didn't tip you off?' #'i thought they were just being dramatic! what force user lets someone just grab their lightsaber from them?'

Relatedly, the Kanan comics also use the camaraderie between Caleb and Grey/Styles to, in just a few short scenes, portray the aftermath of Order 66 from the clones' perspective.

Commander Grey represses. He moves on, focuses on following orders, because if he doesn't think about Order 66 then he doesn't have to wrestle with how it happened, what it means.

Captain Styles on the other hand, stews in it. He can't question why he followed the order, so instead he focuses on what it led to. On the brothers who died at the end of a Jedi lightsaber.

While Grey moves towards remorse, Styles embraces anger. Caleb is the loose end, the only one left that can be held responsible--not just for the clones that died, but for the whole paradigm shift.

Really though, I want to break down why Kanan: The Last Padawan is the better Order 66 story than the version in TBB: Aftermath, and it starts with the fact that Dave Filoni seems to take the Legends!Luke Skywalker view of the Jedi where they shouldn't/don't kill.

Except at the end of the Clone Wars, it's important that they do. Whether that's a difference gained from war or not, they act. More to the point, it's important that Depa and Caleb kill when cornered.

More than the camaraderie and the color changes, the way the sequence plays out matters. In Kanan, when Depa tells Caleb to run, he doesn't. He freezes, and because of that delay the fight turns deadly. Because he froze watching his master cut down the first few clones, when he acts he must do the same.

He waited, and so when he ignited his lightsaber he had to kill with it. Caleb has killed only once before, and that guy was already going for a murder-suicide. The action is second-nature, but the act is not. The act is haunting. So of course when Depa tells him she'll be right behind him, he knows she's lying and he goes anyway. Obeying her last order, knowing it's her last order, blood on his hands.

That's what haunts Kanan Jarrus. That is why he hesitates to pick up his lightsaber, why he is so certain that anybody else should train Ezra over him. Not just that he watched her die, but that he let her. He was there and he froze and he tried and he killed and even still he failed.

Shaak Ti dies. This is inevitable: all living things eventually die, or pass into the Force depending on your point of view.

Shaak Ti dies in the Battle for Coruscant. Separatist ships open fire on an unsuspecting capital, and Shaak Ti--there between her station at Kamino--has one job: protect the Chancellor. She tries--by the Force, she tries. She fights off battle droids, MagnaGuards, General Grievous himself. It's not enough. She fails. Her lightsaber is added to Grievous's collection. What is the loss of a Jedi's weapon if not their soul? What is the loss of a soul if not death?

Shaak Ti dies on Kamino. It is a long death, one that stretches back from the moment Order 66 is executed, poisoning every moment that came before. Shaak Ti failed the clones--her clones, children who were given no choice in life and now have no choice in the death of the only family Shaak Ti has ever known. Shaak Ti dies as the first Jedi falls, as clone troopers' boots and blasters echo through the once-sacred Temple halls. Is there anything worse than knowing that you could have done more, had only you listened?

Shaak Ti dies on Felucia. As the clone troopers turn on their Jedi, Shaak Ti chooses to live. Chooses to lead an evacuation--no lightsaber, no plan, just younglings and padawans and too few ships. How many made it to orbit, let alone jumped to hyperspace, found somewhere safe to hide? She couldn't even remember if the ships had tracking beacons or not. She chooses exile, chooses to train a padawan as lost as she is, chooses to abandon save said padawan and fight the Sith assassin on her own. "The Sith always betray one another," she warns her killer. As she falls backwards into the Force, she wonders how many had thought the same of her.

Shaak Ti dies as the Jedi Temple falls. She feels it--the betrayal, the dark cloud of the Sith now a small moon blocking out the sun. Master Windu would call it a shatterpoint; to Shaak Ti it is simply the branching path of the Force. Life feels so long in the Force, failure so consuming. Instead of survival, she chooses preservation, uses her time to record a message as the Jedi experience their most desperate hour. A plea for hope. Then she waits, senses attuned, as the darkness grows. "What is it, Skywalker" she asks, but she already knows the answer: a dead Jedi.

Shaak Ti dies, as so many Jedi did, are doing, will do. The Force cries out in pain, a tearing it had not experienced for four thousand years. It almost sounds like applause.

Ahsoka Tano leaving the Jedi Order and immediately fumbling her way into three different gay fanfiction scenarios and remaining completely oblivious to the sexual tension really was the queer divorce arc of Disney Star Wars.
