The 212th colors are endlessly fascinating to me, because it's clearly orange, but the fact that Obi-Wan is likely aware of Mandalorian color symbolism and the idea that he chose it and chose to call it gold? Like? What happened?

Palpatine: Master Kenobi, why are you so insistent on this color?

Obi-Wan, sweating: It's gold, it stands for vengeance in Mandalorian culture.

Palpatine: It's orange, though?

Obi-Wan, hoping Jango Fett's ghost doesn't slit his throat in his sleep for this: Mandalorians see color differently.

Palpatine, known racist old white man: Ah, I see, carry on.

Obi-Wan, to his troops fifteen minutes later: Listen, idk your relationship with Mandalorian culture, but this color? Orange means freedom. By death or in life, you will take your freedom eventually.

The 212th, who just fucking met him: ????

Obi-Wan: But if anyone asks it's gold and means vengeance and Mandalorian humans don't see color the same as other humans because of their Taung ancestry or something like that. This is very important because I just lied to the Supreme Chancellor's face about it lmao

can anyone remember if we actually see the scene, anywhere, where anakin tells obi-wan his mother is dead, or where it's referenced in any of the shows or movies if obi-wan even knows she's dead. my insane thought process of the evening is "obi-wan makes a poorly thought-out joke at some handwavey point during TCW about how they're so close to tatooine, anakin may well wave to his mother through the viewport, and anakin throws a fucking chair at his head" because, well, we all know obi-wan - a guy who, in the unfinished utapau arc, apparently told anakin "i will grant you mistakes were made" about anakin's padawan who got kicked out of the order to face the death penalty alone by the governing body obi-wan belongs to - is immensely and incredibly capable of saying the worst thing a guy could say at a given time. obi-wan's people skills step neatly over everyone he cares about, and it's notoriously bad with anakin, notably the guy obi-wan confessed his love to after hacking his limbs off, and when anakin's like "you're like a father to me" in AOTC obi-wan offers literally nothing but radio silence and an empty shot glass. obi-wan is extremely good at loving someone a lot and then unintentionally being kind of a dick, so i don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that obi-wan somehow finds that an appropriate thing to say, but i think his audible "oh no" after he dodges the chair anakin hurls at his head would be really good. i'm me, and i want it to end in dudes hugging and professing their familial love, but i want chair-throwing first

Kote’s House

Kote’s first house is a pathetic thing, and he is incurably proud of it. The twi’lek he purchased it from very evidently could not make up his mind what to do with a man that grinned while he haggled, but it was the first time Kote had haggled over a purchase of his very own. He had thoroughly enjoyed it.

The house is built for one being, and a compact being at that, but Kote doesn’t have much. Moving in is quick, and most of his efforts during the next few days after go into attempting ambitious repairs for things he doesn’t know the first thing about. 

His plumbing is an issue, he knows. Something is getting blocked up. Somehow while trying to fix the kitchen tumbler, his fresher spout explodes.

He hadn’t kept his new house a secret from anyone by any means, but it is still surprising when Fox barges in through his jamming front door. He finds Kote on the floor in his cramped kitchen while the fresher rains water in the adjacent room, laughing so hard and so crippled with delight that he can’t get up.

He tries to explain how wonderful it is —

“I-I have to fix my plumbing on my own, vod—”

—but judging by Fox’s single raised eyebrow he knows it doesn’t translate.

Fox, it turns out, is moving into the neighborhood. Kote doesn’t ask about the house Fox already has — the house he has visited, which is very nice and fancy — or point out that Fox’s contract there cannot possibly be up, which begs the question of why he’s here in Kote’s neighborhood — except that Kote already knows the answer to that question. So he doesn’t ask.

Fox doesn’t show him any grace or forbearance, though.

“Don’t even know how to fix a damn pipe, front lining show-off—” His brother snarls, but it is muffled; his top half had to go down beneath the floor they’d pried up to get at the plumbing issue.

“So that’s what they had you doing all these years.” Kote says, because he really is in a criminally good mood. He barely ducks the foot-long pipe Fox throws at his head, feeling giddy.

He makes dinner that night in thanks. Fox stays, ostensibly because now that he’s fixed the fresher he intends to use it, because his new house isn’t hooked up properly yet to all the supply lines and power grids. 

They choke on homemade tiingilar (vode-style; Kote can’t pretend at the real thing yet) so heavily spiced it’s got grit to it that sticks between the teeth. It’s disgusting, but Cody had bought fifteen different spices and while usually he likes to keep his approach to the unknown more cautious, more methodical, he couldn’t think of anything he wanted to do more than use them all at once for the first time. 

Wolffe joins them not long after; brings a few others along by recommending the apartment he picks out, so that soon most of the complex is taken up by vode, Kote hears, but he doesn’t visit yet. Everyone’s too busy coming over to his house, it seems; filling up his kitchen and asking why he hasn’t fixed the trash disposal yet, why he doesn’t have a couch, doesn’t he know they’re all the rage among civilized folk?

Kote fixes the trash disposal with Rex, who is better at it than he is but says it’s only due to Skywalker’s influence on managing all things mechanical. 

“How is Skywalker?” Kote asks, and gets more than he bargained for over the next hour. At first he’s a bit off-put, because he’s trying to get dinner sorted again and he’s not been very fond of Skywalker at the best of times, but Rex is snorting out a story and laughing and it’s contagious, so Kote just resigns himself and settles in to enjoy.

Skywalker has little ones, now. Obi-Wan is the only one that can get them to sleep. Ahsoka is distressed; she knows better, but every instinct in her is apparently in agony over the little ones’ inability to eat meat yet. She obsesses over nutrients in their diet — which, given what tiny natborn humans primarily ingest in the early stages, makes for some slightly awkward conversations.

Rex helps with dinner afterward, and they take turns being incredulous over natborn baby facts, shoving around one another in the tiny, uncomfortable kitchen.

“What’s your next project?” Rex asks at one point, glancing sidelong with a cheeky look, and Kote levels his vegetable knife at him (he’s got a vegetable knife. Specifically for vegetables. It’s a very new concept). 

“I make everyone’s dinner on Tuangsdays.” He says. “I’m productive.”

Rex’s sharp-toothed grin turns thoughtful. “Yeah” He says. “Everyone loves coming here, you know. You could be the new 79’s.”

Kote knows. He plans and plots, and puts more work into researching recipes than he’s put into any research whatsoever in months. It feels a bit like coming out of a shore leave; his thoughts quicken and his excitement grows. He hunts down a market. He brings a bag. He shops, bargains, and returns victorious.

He sends out a few comms., and can’t help but shake his head and grin at how different the responses are. 

What a marvelous idea, Cody. His general — ex-general — says.

Yus pls, Ahsoka sends back, with some sort of strange tooka vidclip that dances with wiggly gyrations Kote can only assume indicate excitement.

Where is your house, Anakin says, blunt and to the point, and Kote can appreciate that. 

He sends the address. He cooks all day. The sun sets, and Fox and Wolffe arrive, already bickering, Rex trailing behind with a long-suffering look sent to Kote, begging commiseration.

“Ugh, don’t you ever stop smiling, now?” He gripes when Kote just grins at him. 

“Nope,” Kote says, unrepentantly.

He leaves the soup on the stove, simmering, and takes his cup of caf to the window. He leans on it, breathing in cool air, and just listens — listens to the squabbling as Wolffe gets on Fox’s case for not washing Kote’s dishes correctly the last time they visited. Hears the soft thumps of Rex sneaking into the cramped room Kote has set aside for plants and the sole pet he has; a pastel goullian, fins swaying ever so gently, permanent scowl in place. Thinks he catches, distantly, the sound of his remaining three guests (Padme couldn’t attend, and had made him feel very awkward by how thoughtfully she apologized for it) plodding up the hill. 

“Cody!” Ahsoka cries, coming into view and waving. 

Kote’s cheeks have stopped aching from all the smiling he’s gotten used to, so it’s easy to let another through.

This may be a silly question but do you know if regular swords (like a long sword type weapon) exists in Star Wars. Like I know shot guns basically exist and are just called slugthrowers. Googling isn’t giving me a good answer and you seem to know a lot of Star Wars lore stuff so I was wondering if you might know the answer to this.

It’s not a silly question! Here’s a few canon blades. There’s most likely more options out there. I think the closest to what you’d be looking for would be the beskad or duskblade? I added a few other blades in there just for fun. Hopefully this helps.

Jedi Rebel Obi-Wan Kenobi | 3/3 thrones

Anakin Skywalker 1/3

Padmé Amidala 2/3

Trusted ally of the 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐥 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, Obi-Wan is a Jedi of an Order now destroyed at the hands of Emperor Palpatine. He has had to sacrifice and come to terms that everything he believed in no longer exists. Obi-Wan 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏 for falling (after Palpatine k*lled the younglings in front of Anakin) and accepted him; in return Anakin agreed to 𝑛𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑎 𝐽𝑒𝑑𝑖 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛, only the natural instinct of the Force.

At present Obi-Wan is the only one with a blue lightsaber

And that's all, guys!! My last drawing about this series of thrones (I loved drawing Obi-Wan's outfit 'cause it's the "most different", he even has a 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐝𝐢 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐭! 👀

Please show love with a reblog 🙏

if disney came out with a mini series solely focusing on the Clones (this time around) it would be so popular... Imagine episodes of just Rex and Cody going on a mission or featuring how Cody got his scar or if the command batch is as close as fans wish they were. Wolffe's fight with Ventress. Fox leading a squad of new shiny guards around the Senate and showing exit ways to use in emergency situations. Gree and his first encounter with an alien animal species. Bly after his first successful mission on Felucia...

Imagine 40 minute long episodes of Clone Trooper Bliss. It would be so popular. Sigh.

considering that canonically we know anakin is a robotics nerd with 1 friend (who he calls Dad by mistake at least once a week) and 0 rizz, i’m very enamoured by the fact that in any NO66 Good End AU, all of the jedi would be so confused that HE was the one with the secret wife. i have a scene in my head where a couple council members, let’s say depa and mace, are chilling gossiping and depa says “omg GUESS who’s secretly married” and mace names every single member of the order living and dead before guessing anakin

ONLY ONE IS CANON. PLEASE READ THE QUESTION.

* For the purposes of this poll, both Legends and Disney qualify as canon.

Don't give away the answer before the poll ends! I'll reblog with an explanation once it's done.

disaster lineage AU by @rochenn where Dooku never left and trains Obi-wan instead

inspired by this post

[ID: a digital painting of Obi-wan kenobi and Dooku standing calmly in front of a sage green background about five years before the prequel trilogy. Dooku is standing on the left, looking down at toddler Anakin Skywalker who is fast asleep in Obi-wan's arms, wrapped in what seems to be his cloak. Dooku is wearing purplish robes, with a Jedi brooch, in a silky material and a pleated floor length skirt. Obi-wan is wearing cool beige pleated robes and wide leg pants. All around Dooku's head there are arrows and white text reading in almost random order: "Baby!!! Toddler? Babytoddler? Padawan has a baby? but padawan IS a baby! I'm grandpa? I'm Grandpa! How? When? he was only gone six months tho? He's only twenty! Did we have the talk? Confused af. Happy too... bc cute. but what?!!" On the other side of his head there's an arrow that reads: "sabacc face of a wild space smuggler". Obi-wan is talking. Over his head there is a speech bubble that reads: "*The most boring mission report of the last three millennia; vastly understated *" Below there is smaller text reading: "knows exactly what dooku is thinking; too queer for this shit / waiting for him to cave / shmi is waiting laughing at him from behind dooku" below that there is an arrow that leads to anakin which reads: "4yo anakin dead to the world after chip surgery" end ID]
