#For Want of a Skywalker

the sequence of events I am currently experiencing:
1) realize I’m super behind on duty bound
2) start to catch up
3) go back a lil further than the last chap I put in the bookmarks bc I couldn’t remember what was happening
4) got to an italicized line (ie vader) & became curious about if we ever see the whole thing all at once/couldn’t remember
5) opened up parts 1 & 2 (entire work, but that’s just my default) to search the “I owe you” phrase via find selection on page
6) realized how long it’s been since I read part 1
7) started a full reread of part 1 (though honestly idk if it was consciously intentional)
8) etc etc etc anyways I just got to leia returning the lightsaber to the temple and I FORGOT ABOUT OBILEIA. BAHAHAHA I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THEM. AND I LOVE THEM ALL OVER AGAIN. THEY’VE LITERALLY INTERACTED FOR .5 SECONDS AT THIS POINT IN THE NARRATIVE IDEC IM SO IN
(anyways, thanks for writing the DLBverse, I adore it, I adore your writing in general (I also just read for want of a skywalker for the first time yesterday and loved it), I hope you’re having a fantastic day!)
Ah, the reread cycle. A dangerous realm to enter. I'm glad you're having a lot of fun with it. :) And I'm so glad you liked For Want of a Skywalker. I'm pretty proud of how that one turned out.

Ah yes, the "evil" family.
I thought it would be even more funny if it was Luke, of all people, the one who wanted to watch Bloodbath in the Black Moon of the Dragon System.

The man he faced was everything Obi-Wan had devoted his life to destroying: Murderer. Traitor. Fallen Jedi. Lord of the Sith. And here, and now, despite it all… Obi-Wan still loved him. - Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Stover

Luke compels people with the force a few times but Din never notices it's a force thing, he just thinks it's common sense that people do whatever Luke wants if he smiles a little and speaks softly

Dunno rereading things, had a thought. for your third times a charm, Jee is a really, really fun character that adds perspective and distance to everything going on along with the hey how important all this nonsense is. Good Job. Nice choice of perspective. Im curious how difficult you find that having perspectives of characters that directly interact in the same space. for dont look back, we get Leia, Anakin, Obiwan and Padme pretty regularly and each perspective IN each other sight and actions
Not gonna lie, point of view can be killer, and I feel like I've grown a lot the last few years as I've worked on it pretty carefully. Jee's characterization was definitely helped by me writing all of For Want of Skywalker first. He's got a lot of similar vibes to Piett, being a professional who just want to do his job, but works for One of Those kind of people. In a really bad situation.
Don't Look Back has been tricky because when I lived in the delusional wonderland where the story was going to have one single part and be finished in about 200K words (yes, my beta is still laughing at me), I was determined to have it be told exclusively from Leia's POV, with a hint of Anakin at some points where Leia couldn't be around. I still keep the POVs pretty limited because I think some of the tension in the story is held by not showing you things from Dooku or Palpatine or even Bail's POV. I've had to extend the POVs in Blood of Our Father and Duty Bound because it just wasn't plausible to move certain plots along while limiting things to only Leia and Anakin. Also, I wanted to give Padmé more agency to act, and it's a lot easier to show her growth from inside her own head. Especially by hanging around her while Leia isn't there.
My general rule has been, as often as possible, keep it to a "Skywalker" POV, with Obi-Wan and Padmé making honorary membership. That's really going to break containment here at the end of Duty Bound, and at the start of the next arc. But I'm still working on keeping the list of POV characters as narrow as possible.

Aka, Anakin has a very ill-timed ~realization~
This is my contribution for Sub Anakin Fest [@anakinfest], which I actually didn’t sign up for but decided to butt in on anyway! As such, this doesn’t correspond to any prompts :)

HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN - OBI-WAN KENOBI BEHIND THE SCENES
"I was so excited to get to do the bacta tank scenes. I had to be completely submerged in water holding my breath. For a few weeks leading up to it I got to work with a great dive coach, and he would teach me different breathing techniques. I think my longest breath holds were around two and a half minutes. It was surprisingly peaceful in there." [x]

best scene in the prequels is when anakin and padme have just landed on naboo & padme goes “hmm being a childqueen might’ve fucked me up a bit” and anakin, former 9yo slave separated from his mom, confronted for perhaps the first time with the idea that childhood trauma effects you later in life, goes “nuh uh”
