Anakin Skywalker General Dating Headcannons

Synopsis - Anakin Skywalker dating headcannons.

Warnings - SFW & NSFW.

Word Count - 0.8k.

[Caffeinate Me]

SFW:

: ̗̀➛ Let’s be real here, you’re probably going to be Anakin’s (older) padawan. He’ll take you under his wing after Ahsoka leaves the Jedi Order, seeing tremendous value in your abilities.

: ̗̀➛ At first, Anakin only sees you as his padawan. But the more time he spends with you, the more he finds himself viewing you in a different light.

: ̗̀➛ Anakin finds himself wanting to train with you more often than he should. He wants to see how far you’ve come since you had started training with him. So, Anakin has you training in your spare time.

: ̗̀➛ When he’s not around you, Anakin finds himself thinking about you, wanting to make sure you’re okay. That’s when Anakin realises he’s falling in love with you. He’ll comm you often just to speak with you and ‘discuss the mission’ when in reality, he just wants to hear your voice.

: ̗̀➛ Anakin confesses his feelings to you after you almost die on a mission. The two of you are alone in the med-bay and he pulls you flush to his chest and with tears in his eyes he whispers to you, “I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you. I-I’m in love with you.”

: ̗̀➛ You’re shocked. You didn’t think Anakin would ever see you like that, not that you mind, you feel exactly the same way. “I’m okay Anakin,” you whisper in response, pulling away from the sweet embrace.

: ̗̀➛ Anakin wastes no time in pushing his lips to yours. His lips are soft and warm against your own chapped and dry ones. You sigh into the kiss and automatically kiss back, your eyes fluttering closed as your arms make their way around his neck.

: ̗̀➛ “I love you,” Anakin whispers into your lips.

: ̗̀➛ “I love you too Anakin,” you reply, a smile gracing your lips.

: ̗̀➛ From that day on Anakin never had you leave his side. If he went on a mission, you went on the mission with him. There were no ifs, ands or buts about it. The Jedi Council never dared separate you two again.

: ̗̀➛ Anakin would pull you into a secluded, dark corner or room and make-out with you both before and after missions or any time he was able to get you alone away from prying eyes.

: ̗̀➛ The 501st catch on quickly but don’t say anything to either of you. They notice the way Anakin looks at you from across the room, or the way his hand would ‘accidentally’ brush past yours when you were walking.

: ̗̀➛ Anakin stays in your quarters with you, sleeping in your bed and using your shower etc just so he doesn’t have to leave you.

: ̗̀➛ When the two of you get married, which is quite early on into your relationship, you swap lightsabers instead of rings as a symbol of your love for each other. Your lightsabers are extremely similar so it wouldn’t be so noticeable, but Anakin was willing to take the risk anyway.

NSFW:

: ̗̀➛ Anakin loves to have sex with you. It’s his favourite way to show you just how much he loves you.

: ̗̀➛ His favourite position is missionary. He loves being able to see your face when he fucks you and watches the way your face contorts in pleasure.

: ̗̀➛ Usually has sex with you in your bed on the Jedi Cruiser where the two of you can’t be interrupted, but isn’t opposed to having a quickie in the Jedi Temple if at all possible.

: ̗̀➛ Anakin loves sleepy morning sex, it’s probably his favourite. He wakes up pressing against you, cock erect and ready for you. He wakes you up with soft, open-mouthed kisses to your neck and climbs on top of you. You sleepily open your legs and invite him in, eyes fluttering open as you’re greeted with a hungry kiss.

: ̗̀➛ Anakin loves eating you out and would do it forever if you let him. He loves it when your thighs tighten around his head and you squirm as you cum on his face. Anakin still doesn’t stop eating you when you’ve cum, he likes to draw at least two orgasms from you before he’s ready to fuck you.

: ̗̀➛ When he’s particularly stressed from missions, Anakin will use sex as an outlet. His hands will wrap around your throat as he fucks you from behind, strangling you softly. You have a safe word for if it gets too much, but it never does. He never pushes past any of your boundaries no matter how pent up he gets.

: ̗̀➛ Never uses protection. He wants you to get pregnant.

: ̗̀➛ Anakin uses the force during sex sometimes. He uses it to keep your legs apart or to choke you when things are getting a little S&M. Don’t think you can try to escape him either, if you’re on the brink of an orgasm don’t squirm or he’ll keep you in place with the force as he goes down on you.

: ̗̀➛ Loves cock warming, especially in the coldness of space. You don’t have to move, just lay there with his cock inside you and fall asleep together. He’ll wake up in the morning still inside you and he realises just how lucky he is to have found somebody like you.

Are You Okay?

Pairing: Anakin x reader

Summary: An injury you kept secret spirals out of control as the time until you can see a doctor lengthens uncontrollably forcing you to come clean about its existence to Anakin.

Warnings: Nah not really

Word Count: 2.7K

A/N: Wrote this one a little while ago and wasn’t completely happy with it so I decided to spruce it up tonight and release it to the masses. Hope you enjoy!

You had to get to Ahsoka

That was your only thought in the moment.

You could see Anakin up ahead, light saber wiping quickly through the air as he deflected as many blaster shots as possible.

But it hadn’t been enough. Ahsoka had been hit and Anakin couldn’t go to her to help because you still needed his protection, you were still behind him on the ground.

On the ground?

You weren’t sure how you got to be here, last you remember you were just behind your friend deflecting the droids shots just as he is now. So how had you ended up five feet back in the dirt?

But ultimately that didn’t matter, Ahsoka needed you. So you scrambled up to your feet, using your arms to pull you up and forward towards the padawans body, because ultimately it didn’t matter what had happened, what mattered was what you could do now, what you needed to do now.

You all but collapsed beside Ahsoka’s form, hands immediately going to the side of her face trying desperately to wake her up, not daring to look at her wound.

The young padawan’s eyes barely cracked open, her features immediately drawing together in a wince as the weight of her injuries now doubt hit her. Nonetheless her hand slowly made it’s way up to yours, fingers wrapping softly around your wrist as she all but whispered “I’m okay”

You let a chuckle escape, nodding encouragingly “I’ll believe it when you’re on your feet”

With no further communication you put her arm around your neck, Ahsoka steadily putting more of her weight on your shoulders as you helped her come into a standing position.

“Anakin we have to move” You yelled up the battlefield towards the general, him giving you the briefest nod in response before slowly making his way across to the two of you still blocking as many shots as he could.

You must have been more tired than you thought, not fully expecting carrying Ahsoka back to the ship to take this much effort, as your left leg seemed to lag behind you, not responding as quickly as you were used to.

Nevertheless you pushed through, making your way towards the ship, albeit slower than anticipated.

As soon as you were safe behind cover Anakin was on Ahsoka’s other side taking some of her weight off of you sending you a quick look that asked if you were okay.

“I’m good” You panted out happily handing off Ahsoka to her master “you go”

Anakin didn’t need to be told twice, his hands going beneath her knees immediately allowing him to pick her up swiftly and whisk her off to the medical droid.

You barely made it to the nearest seat before collapsing. Your heartbeat pounding in your head as physical exhaustion hit you like it had never done before.

You leaned over and put your head in your hands, elbows going to your knees as you tried your best to slow your breathing, deep breaths in and out slowly driving your heart rate down.

That’s when the pain first hit.

It didn’t start as much, little more than a prick in your side though it quickly grew, radiating out from your left side like fire until you were clenching your jaw to keep from crying out, clawing desperately at your cloak to move it out of the way.

Raw flesh revealed itself beneath the large cloak, burned flesh and blood seeping into the cloth of your robes around it.

It needed to be cleaned and patched but luckily it looked like nothing worse than a graze in your side, it could wait until you got back to Coruscant. Right now Ahsoka got priority when it came to the medical droids time.

As if on que you felt Anakin’s pretense as he started coming your way from the hallway. With a deep breath you straightened your posture and wrapped your cloak tightly around yourself, trying your best to act as if everything was fine.

The Jedi sat right beside you, his knee softly bumping yours before hesitantly resting alongside it just barely touching. A small gesture you usually pathetically relished though right now all you could focus on was the pain in your side.

“Is Ahsoka going to be okay?” You asked, almost proud at how normal your voice sounded.

“Yeah” Anakin breathed out, running a nervous hand through his hair “droid says she’s just got to sleep it off”

“Good” You nodded in response, leaning back further against the chair, hand balling your cloak in its fist as you fought down the pain, desperately trying to focus on any other body part.

“I wanted to-uh-“ Anakin stuttered, hesitantly sitting up straighter and making eye contact with you “I wanted to thank you for what you did for Ahsoka”

You shook your head dismissively, not thinking anything of it “of course I’d get her out, she’d do the same for me”

“Still” Anakin persisted, softly placing a hand on your knee, drawing your gaze back to his “Thank you Y/N”

You paused, eyes dancing briefly back and forth between his before responding, he seemed so genuine in this moment, a seriousness in his voice you hardly ever heard from him. You’d saved his own life countless times at this point and yet he never seemed as grateful as he did now “You’re welcome Ani”

The tips of mouth quirked up at the nickname, taking one moment to relish staring into your eyes before his small smile dropped from his face, his eyebrows scrunching together in concentration. “Y/N are you okay?”

Immediately you were tearing your gaze from his, pulling your body away as you tightened the grip on your cloak, mentally scolding yourself for letting the wall built between you and Anakin in this moment fall “Yeah I’m fine”

Anakin, however, didn’t seem convinced. He opened his mouth to no doubt press further before Rex’s familiar voice echoed on his com “General you’re going to want to see this”

Anakin let out a heavy sigh at the sound, his eyes all but begging you to tell him. Instead, you just shook your head “I’m good” You forced out a small chuckle, ignoring the pain it caused to flare up in your ribs “Go ahead general”

He seemed to ease slightly at your laugh, nodding softly before getting up and heading towards the bridge. Thus leaving you the perfect opportunity to all but collapse in your seat. The pain finally fully catching up to you.

Quietly you swore under your breath as you doubled over, doing everything to just focus on your breathing. You just had to make it back to Coruscant.

As if the universe had a sense of humor, at that precise moment the entire ship suddenly shook violently. You were falling forward onto your face faster than you could get your arms to respond, your chin making painful contact with the metal floor.

You pushed yourself up slightly to roll onto your back, doing your best to minimize any more injury to your side.

The sound of footsteps approached you quickly though you couldn’t bring yourself to care at this point. Wanting nothing more than a nap at that moment.

“Y/N come on we have to go” Came Anakin’s panicked whisper.

You just groaned in response, shutting your eyes but doing nothing else to move.

“Y/N” Anakin hissed, tugging you hand to try and pull you to your feet.

You did everything to try and fight the grimace from your face as Anakin pulled you up but know you did a poor job of hiding it as he ushered you quickly down a hallway.

You followed him blindly, barely paying attention to anything as he yanked you into a small closet and shut the door quickly behind you.

The closet was almost uncomfortably small, just enough room to allow you to not be standing on top of Anakin but you couldn’t focus on that now. Couldn’t focus on anything but your pain, anything other than the fact that the wound was quickly getting bigger than something you could control yourself.

“Okay what is going on with you?” Anakin hissed quietly.

“Nothing” the answer was out of your mouth before you could even think of doing something other than lie.

Anakin, however, wasn’t having it. Crossing his arms he gave you a stern, disapproving look as he stared down at you “No not nothing quit lying to me clearly something is wrong”

“Anakin I’m fine-“

You barely got the words out before he was firing back “Quit saying you’re fine when you’re clearly not. The ship is clearly in trouble and I can’t” he paused for a second, “I can’t focus on that unless I know that you’re okay. Really okay”

You glared back up at him, the expression of raw emotion taking you off guard for a second, but just a second. You tried to push everything down, all the pain and guilt rising within you, and push past Anakin out the door. Beneath your touch, however, the door refused to move.

“We’re locked in” Anakin responded in an almost smug tone “so you might as well tell me”

You stared up at him quietly resigning yourself to your fate. Because ultimately, he was right, you were stuck, you couldn’t hide it any longer. But more than anything else you were scared. You hated that you were scared, that a shot that wasn’t even a direct hit could affect you so, that in this moment what you craved more than anything else was comfort from a friend, or maybe from Anakin in specific, someone to tell you that you were going to be okay because with each passing moment you were starting to believe it less and less.

So before you could talk yourself out of it you lifted your robe out of the way, exposing the raw flesh to the air eliciting a soft hiss from yourself.

Anakin’s whole body froze at the sight of it. You could practically feel yourself shrinking from underneath his piercing gaze.

“What is that?” his voice came out in a slow growl only making you shrink farther.

“Ani it’s nothing” You tried to pull the cloak back around you but his hand shot out to stop you, tentative fingers reaching out to softly touch the exposed skin around the wound earning hisses in pain from you.

His eyes broke from your wound for this first time, his gaze snapping to yours a mix of hurt and anger playing in his eyes “It’s not nothing Y/N!”

“Shhh” You quickly tried to shush him as his voice rose louder than he anticipated, your hands rising to cover his mouth instinctively though he swatted them away without a second thought.

“It’s not nothing” He repeated in a whisper yell, an anxious hand running through his hair as he started to pace in the incredibly small space. “How could you say this is nothing? You were shot”

“It’s just a graze” You quickly defended yourself though soon shut down as you saw the glare he sent your way.

“It doesn’t matter” He sighed, pausing his pace “we need to get you to medical”

“I don’t need to go to medical we need to get control of the ship again” You countered though Anakin just shook his head “we have no chance of getting there unless we get control of the ship again”

Anakin didn’t respond to that, simply leaned against the wall and closed his eyes in thought. At least it seemed for now he’d dropped the subject, turned to focus on the more pressing issue at hand, the ship no longer under his control.

“I asked you twice if you were okay”

Apparently not.

“You had to help Ahsoka” You shrugged.

“This isn’t about Ahsoka” Anakin sighed back. “I asked if you were okay and you thought what? That you’d just deal with it yourself?”

“I mean” You sighed back, sliding down the wall into a sitting position “Yes? I really didn’t think It was this bad”

“I just-“ Anakin stuttered back, matching your position as he slid down the wall next to you, clearly trying his best to push down his anger in the moment, clearly recognizing that what you needed right now was not just medical attention. After considering it for a moment he softly pulled your head to rest on his shoulder “I need you to know that that doesn’t matter”

You straightened back up to make eye contact with him, giving him a puzzled look.

“When I ask if you’re okay” He continued slowly “I really want to know. I don’t care if you think it’s a small thing, or I’m busy, or you think you can handle it on your own. I need to know if you’re really okay”

You couldn’t do anything but nod, a familiar lump growing at the base of your throat as you put your head back on his shoulder, your voice coming out shakier than you would like “yeah okay”

“So are you?” He asked pointedly “are you okay?”

And despite your best efforts a tear slipped down your cheek. Because you felt guilty for lying, because you could still feel your wound bleeding, because you couldn’t hold it in any longer. “No. No I’m not”

Anakin pressed a soft kiss to the crown of your head “Don’t worry” he assured you “I’ve got you”

“It wasn’t supposed to get this bad” you cried softly into his shoulder, trying your best to shush your words into his robes “I didn’t even know I’d been hit at first then all of a sudden we were hiding in a closet as our ship was stolen out from under neath us”

“I know” Anakin whispered softly into your hair, a comforting hand brushing up and down your back as your tears started to subside “just promise me you’ll say something next time. I want to be there for you, I want to really make sure you’re okay.” He paushed briefly in thought “no matter how busy I am your well being is never a burden on me okay?”

“Okay” you repeated softly with a hiccup.

“I need to hear you say it sweetheart”

And you couldn’t fight the heat from rising to your cheeks at the nickname, just as Anakin knew it would “my well being is never a burden to you”

“Good” you could hear the smug smile in his voice prompting an eye roll from you “now we just need to get out of here and get you to med bay”

You shook your head, sitting up straighter with a wince “Ahsoka’s there I can wait till Coruscant”

Anakin was quick to cut you off “You’re still bleeding Y/N you need to see the medical droid, Ahsoka’s just got to sleep it off at this point”

You opened your mouth to object again but closed it with one glare from Anakin, knowing you weren’t winning this one. “Okay how do we get control of the ship again”

“We’re going to have to make our way to the bridge and hope R2 has fixed the hyperdrive” Anakin spoke softly and seriously, nervous eyes going to your injured side “be honest, can you fight?”

With a dejected sigh you shook your head “I don’t think I can even stand at this point, I’ll stay-“

Anakin cut you off again quickly “I’m not leaving you behind don’t be ridiculous” he ran an anxious hand through his hair “I’ll help you to the bridge and if we find a blaster on the way you’ll use it in whatever hand you can”

“I’ll be dead weight you can just-“

“I’m not leaving you” his voice was hard as he stared at you with determined eyes “end of discussion”

“fine” you replied with a huff, a small part of you slightly relieved at that admittedly “how do we get out of this closet?”

At this he sent you a sly smirk, raising his communicator to his mouth and whispering “R2 buddy you there?”

Happy beeping sounded back through the speakers and you couldn’t help but return the grin Anakin sent your way.

You were going to be fine.

platonic headcanons or scenario for yandere Anakin Skywalker? if you write for him of course. i really enjoy your works! especially Bonds (for personal reasons •w•)

Eeee! My first Star Wars ask! You have no idea how excited I am for this, omg. Also Bonds is one of my personal faves to write as well!

Warnings: manipulation,over-protectiveness,themes of obsession,some implied stalking. Reader is barely trained force sensitive and Anakin has taken a self-proclaimed mentor/older brother role despite them not being a Jedi. Lots of Force stuff, because I love inserting my headcanons.

“Okay, now, I want you to try it with this.”

A comm link is passed to you, and you can see the wear and tear the device had been put through. Chips in the metal, the thin veneer of paint flaking off, a scorch mark on the side.

You take it, your fingers curling around the smooth metal. Anakin is leaning forward, practically hunched over your shared project, and you divert your focus from the Jedi Knight to the comm link in your hands.

“Why do I have to do this again?” You complain tiredly, turning it over in your hands. The metal catches on the calluses of your skin, and you hear Anakin huff.

“Because it’s important. Now try, come on.”

He nudged you with a shoulder, and you nod, breathing in.

It takes so much effort to expand the sense you’ve always had past your own body. Anakin called it the Force, but you just knew it as something you had always had and always known. If it wasn’t for Anakin, and the new tricks and tips he was teaching you, you might have never known that your sense of knowing was anything other than another sense.

The comm wasn’t alive. It didn’t react to the Force the way living things did. Didn’t buzz with it’s own energy. But something in your chest nudges at the internal components, and you suck in a breath.

“It’s.. it’s a wire? Maybe? It feels.. burnt?”

He beams.

That’s best way to describe it. With your senses extended like this, you don’t just see him, but you feel the way he lights up. His sun bright aura (he called it a Force Presence) popped and sizzled, pride flickering across it with a sense of glee.

Your head spins, the surge of foreign emotions making your mind struggle to keep up, and just as quickly as it happened, it draws back, and Anakin looks alarmed.

“Woah, easy! Are you alright?” He leans forward, a hand on your shoulder and you realize you were panting. His eyebrows furrow, and he lifts the other hand, pressing it to your forehead. It’s warm, but you feel how your brow was beaded with sweat. “You must have over-exerted yourself, come on, let’s take a break.”

“You’re normally really against breaks?” You joke, but your voice cracks and makes your head pound.

“Normally, you don’t have Force Exhaustion.” He snorts, easing the comm link out of your grip.

“That’s what that is?”

“Mhm. I didn’t mean to push you so far.”

The statement burns in your chest.

You knew, obviously, that Anakin was used to helping his Padawan, Ahsoka. She had years of experience on you, more skill and ability, and it showed. Simple tasks that she could do with her eyes closed took you hours to even begin to understand, much less the weeks of practice you had endured in order to even turn it into a useful skill.

There's a gentle nudge against your mind, the only real way to describe it, and when you look to your left, Anakin is giving you that stern frown, the one that you knew meant he was more than aware of your thoughts on the matter.

"Stop being so hard on yourself."

"How did you even..?"

"You're pretty predictable, young one." He sends you a sort of half grin, before adding. "Also, your shields are really weak right now, so you're projecting your emotions all over the place."

You groan, and he snorts, helping you stand. Of course your mental shields were down.

"This Jedi stuff is so ridiculous, oh my god."

"Wait until I teach you how to use a Force Push. You're gonna feel like you've pulled muscles you didn't even know you had." The crooked grin he sends you makes you huff, and he helps you sit in the soft chair. You wonder how he ever managed to make so much time for you, how he managed to come visit so often when you knew the war and his duties as a Jedi came first and kept him away so often.

"Not that I don't appreciate it, but... why are you doing all of this? You don't exactly have to help me."

He goes silent. The crooked grin is gone, replaced by a look you can't quite decipher. It's sharp, intense. Blue eyes bore into like he's trying to pick apart exactly why you asked him, like he's trying to understand. His brows slant down, in that stern, angry way they did was he was thinking hard but not actually angry, and you swallow.

"You remember how we first met?" He asks, and you nod.

"The pirates, yeah."

"You remember what you did?"

Not really. Well, you did, but you no idea how you had been able to convince the pirate to leave you alone. You had been pinned down and panicked, and even though Anakin had told you, several times, that you had used the Force to convince the man to release you, you had never been able to replicate it, despite trying.

"Yeah. I remember."

"Good. That was.. dangerous. An untrained Force Sensitive, using a Suggestion? You're lucky you didn't get hurt, or pass out, from pushing yourself too far." For a single, alarming second, there's a spark of rage behind his eyes, at his next words. "Or that the wrong person hadn't realized and made you a target."

You swallow.

You were aware, what happened to Force Sensitives that weren't Jedi. Some went insane, some lived normal lives, some were targeted by Hutts and pirates, some were found and killed.

Some became Sith.

"Oh."

"Yeah. I figured, well, I have the skills, may as well teach them to someone who could use them. Especially given how you lived on the streets for a while." He shrugs, the intensity gone, and gives you a half smile. "Now come on, you need to get some food and water in you, and you can take a nap."

A nap sounded... really good, actually. It would help the pulsing migraine in the back of your head, and you could catch up on some sleep you so desperately needed.

So you let Anakin press a plate into your hands, and let him slide a glass of water in front of you, and when he closes the door to your room behind you and dims the lights, you curl into your blanket, closing your eyes.

Sleep comes easy, and you rest, content.

𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐲'𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: the more important things could wait till morning. for now, it’s only you and him and the sky.

𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: ezra bridger x fem!reader

𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 930

𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭: none

The sky was so vast, it made you feel so small. But somehow, you were okay with that.

Yeah, you were small compared to the rest of the galaxy. You had no idea how far out the expanse of space went, and you didn't really want to find out, but you had a tiny part of the galaxy to yourself that night.

Well, to yourself and Ezra.

Your head rested on his chest, curled against his side as his arm draped across your side. You held your breath slightly so you could breathe in sync with him, the action reminding you that the two of you were there. You and him were alive, despite everything.

It felt like not too long ago that you had nearly died for the umpteenth time. Such was the life of a rebel, you supposed. Though it was perilous, what else was there? Lie down and accept defeat? No, that wasn’t an option. Especially not after all you’ve lost to the Empire.

Someday, the Empire would burn.

You shifted to lie on your back beside him and gazed up at the stars surrounding Lothal. The two moons glinted up above. The air was chill against your skin. Ezra turned his face to you, staring at your profile for who knows how long before he spoke up with a question.

“What’s wrong?”

Had your thoughts been so clearly displayed on your expression, or did he just know you well enough to tell? You preferred to think it was the latter and hoped to the stars that you weren’t that easy to read to everyone else. The only person—in this galaxy or the next—you wanted to be transparent to was the boy lying there with you.

You let out a sigh, and there was a weight to it that you didn’t like. “It’s nothing.”

He leaned up on his elbows, lopsided grin everpresent on his face. You lolled your head to stare up and admire his blue, blue eyes. “Tell me.”

The fragility of his voice, whispered into space, was enough to have you caving. “I had a dream. A bad one.” You paused, gaze unfocused. “Very bad.”

Ezra tensed at your side, drawing your eyes back to him quickly. You didn’t want to worry him, not when these visions had just started appearing as just that: terrible visions. “Don’t worry about it.”

But he’d taken your hand in his before you even got all the words out, his thumb tracing circles on your skin. “Tell me, please. Holding it in never helped me. Made it worse, actually.”

You knew that. You knew that better than anyone, being one of the only people on the Ghost crew to have truly seen how much Ahsoka’s death really affected Ezra. It’d been around a year since, and he was getting better, what with the Sith holocron out of reach and a good level of communication set between him and Kanan, but you remembered how close he’d been to snapping.

So you told him exactly what your dream said.

“We were there,” you started, allowing Ezra’s hand to guide you to sit up and face him. “On Lothal. It was… burning. Not entirely… but something was definitely on fire.”

He kept holding your hand even though it shook in his grasp. “You were there, right in front of me… and he was there.”

“Maul?” Ezra asked, first reflex, but you shook your head.

“No.” You didn’t even want to speak his name. “Thrawn.”

“He—he was there, and then you weren’t.” You bit down on your lip. “It was so—so confusing. I saw so many things all at once, and then you were gone, Ezra. He took you from me.”

As tears began to glint in your donwcast eyes, Ezra ached with you. The assurance that this was just a nightmare grew and then died on his tongue; sometimes, he hated being in tune with the Force, espically when he could feel it revolving around you, your words resonating with the tensity of the weight all around him.

His eyes scoured you for answers, wondering why you of all people would have to endure a vision of such heartbreak. What was worse was that you didn’t even realize any of it. It was unfair.

His hand found rest on the side of your face, his thumb wiping away the one tear to escape. “Hey, hey. I’m not going anywhere.” Shoving away the Force in one mental swoop, the air fell calm. “It was just a nightmare.”

You didn’t catch his lie, as he feared you would. Instead, you leaned into his touch with half lided eyes, the late night finally getting to you. Ezra just about melted at the sight of you. He guided you closer into his arms and reclined back onto the grass, cradling you against him as your sniffling died down.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he mumbled into your hair, as if he were challenging fate itself. Visions weren’t set in stone, he reminded himself. They were unreliable. The Force could be wrong.

Setting the worries aside for another day, Ezra began to rub soothing circles on your back, his eyes fluttering shut as the sound of crickets rose above the labour of your breathing.

The galaxy was very, very vast, and Ezra was very, very small in comparison. But you were in his arms, and that was all the galaxy he needed right then. In the morning, he would deal with Thrawn, Lothal, the Rebellion, the Empire—all of it.

Right now, he wanted for nothing but you.

OK SO HEADCANNON TIME

Maul was re-alived by the Son. Just like Ahsoka was re-alived by the Daughter.

So we know this for Ahsoka because it's done right in front of you and we have the bird and all that jazz. "In plain light," so to speak.

BUT what happened to the Son at the fall of Mortis? Well if you look at it carefully they're immortal beings that aren't exactly bound by space and time. So the Son being pretty damn powerful but probably not as much as the Father. He decides to live on in a dark sider. So... Who's desperate enough, emo enough, and stupid enough to accept the literal embodiment of evil?

Our boy Maul.

It explains a lot about him. It gives a pretty neat Watsonian explanation for his change in voice, it explains why Sidious literally never thinks of him again and is kinda surprised that Maul's alive, and it even explains his weird behavior in Rebels (again a Watsonian explaination). His voice changes because it's literally the Son's voice. Sidious genuinely thinks he died because, well... He did. And his seemingly erratic behavior and split motivations would fit pretty neatly with two different souls fighting for dominance in one body. It even gives a little insight into how Maul was able to "see" more than the average force user even more so than just having the context of his abuser taking over the galaxy.

But we don't see this right? Well... In line with the "light/dark" dichotomy that star wars loves. The reveal of Maul's possession isn't as straight forward or "hidden in the dark." (Yeah it's simple but *sighs* Star Wars) But we DO see it. We see it with the repetition of "the chains are the easy part. It's what goes on in here is hard," by the Son on Mortis as he talks to Ahsoka and by Mauk when he see him on Lotho Minor. We also hear it in his voice. These choices made by the animators were not mistakes in this sense.

We also can see how this plays out in Maul's general inability to draw from the light side even while not being a Sith just like Ahsoka has a general inability to draw from the dark side even while not being a Jedi. For the both of them, they're more or less fixed in their alignments. It explains how no matter how hard Maul tries to do the ultimately right thing by seeking to destroy Sidious, he's never going to experience the connection that comes from being in the light. It's just like no matter how much she despairs that she'll fall to the dark side, Ahsoka never really does (okay I gotta say Warsonian a third time cos I will lose my shit if I say what I really think).

So what does this mean for the narrative? For those two specifically, I think they're a little less in line with the idea "you can choose to be good or bad" and little more "wouldn't it be fucked up if you were possessed by the literal embodiment of evil/good and didn't even HAVE a choice no matter how hard you tried?" And you get some deep thing about free will and moralizing about how great it is. Cos if there's anything Star Wars loves to do it's moralize about things!

So that's just my take on them and I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks this, bit I'd love to hear from your frens. Take care!

-♥️-

granmaul

I love this, and I'm going to throw in a devil's advocate "Doylist" thought for the hell of it: Witwer voices both the Son and Maul and has a really good grasp on the lore. I think we can feel his influence in both characters' acting, and those similarities may be deliberate choices in their design so those echoes become apparent when looking closely at the execution:

The Son of Dathomir and the Son of Mortis.

I'm particularly fond of your headcanon because I think there are mirrors between the architects (the Celestials, assuming the Mortis Gods were part of that ancient race -- I like to think so but unconfirmed in canon afaik) and the fruits of their efforts, no matter how far they've fallen from the tree.

Thoughts, frens?

Darth Maul is alive truthers, speak up or forever hold your peace.

Okay but (Ahsoka spoilers under the cut):

I LOVE the clarification that the force sensitive/not force sensitive dichotomy we tend to imagine in fanon is just not how it works. The Force binds the galaxy together, it’s present in everything. Luminous beings, and all that. It’s like the magic in Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell; it exists, and almost anyone can learn to manipulate it, but some people have more of an aptitude than others and most people aren’t going to learn how. Heck, it’s like making visual art or music in the real world. Most anyone can learn to create art of some kind, but it’s a lot of hard work, some people have more of a natural aptitude than others, and I imagine that in the Star Wars universe you have a lot of people assuming that they can’t use the force ever because they weren’t floating rocks at the age of five, the same way a lot of people assume that they can’t ever draw because they currently don’t know how. But then you’ll also have people, like Sabine, or like a friend of my sister’s (who had negative artistic talent starting out but eventually landed a job as a board artist at Laika), who are stubborn and throw themselves into it anyway.

And I love how this tracks with there being other force traditions in the galaxy that weren’t as focused on just training those who had an obvious aptitude for the force at a young age, and how it’s a bit of a rejection of the Sith tendency to always be trying to recruit candidates with a lot of raw power. AND it makes even more sense of why Palpatine went out of his way to wipe out cultures that had other force traditions (you know, besides the whole hatred thing he had going on). Like the Lasat; Lasan had a force tradition well outside that of the Jedi, and Zeb was 100% using the force in a traditional Lasat way to navigate the ghost through that star cluster in Rebels even though that show never gave us any other indication that he was force sensitive, and now it makes sense why. Or Baze, Chirrut, and the Guardians of the Whills. Or the Nightsisters. It always kind of struck me as odd that basically every Dathomirin woman we met was apparently force sensitive, but no—at this point, I think it was just that they had a tradition of teaching all the girls from a young age, regardless of talent. And all of them were wiped out, kids who showed any obvious talent for the force were rounded up, because Palpatine wanted to consolidate his power and make everyone else too afraid to use it, or to believe it was impossible for them to do so.

Also, force sensitive clones FORCE sensitive CLONESforcesensitiveclonesforcesensitiveCLONES Clones establishing their own force tradition outside the Jedi pllleeeaaassssseeee I need it

Came back to share my sketches. Well, I wonder how I can be in a creative stagnation for whole months, and then do something in just half an hour. Is this my super power (」°ロ°)」? Okay, actually I didn't do much to think so seriously. I have a couple of sketches with these two. Ahsoka, just a portrait. The rest are sketches for the composition and possible storyboarding of the comic. Yes, I'm still working on it, when I finish some of this, I'll share what I've done all this time. There are a lot of sketches and even finished pages, which I ended up throwing into the "CUT CONTENT" box. Why is it all there? Because I didn't like it. But what I have now emerges, I definitely like it. I'm kind of fickle. ha-ha ┬┴┬┴┤( ͡° ͜ʖ├┬┴┬┴... I draw on paper so often now…academic drawing will drive me to my grave.

Feels like he's under something...Mom's magic is probably like living away from her, and then suddenly find out that she started selling weed. Sorry, it's just that for some reason I constantly start making memes out of random things. And I can't resist the urge to light up some of the characters' eyes.

Maybe during Ezra and Sabine's fight with Shin in the AU --- that moment when she Force pushes him into a pod... the Wolfwalker comes out! Then we get an entire wolf fight between the three! Though Ezra might have a ton of questions for Sabine XD

Ezra: Hold up! She's a wolfwalker, too?!

Sabine: Okay, I may or may not have bit her--- it was self-defense, damnit!!

On today's episode of Dammit Sabine lmao

Actually so glad Shin and Baylan are in the game now bc that means someday I do get to draw a wolf fight scene, that's gonna be fun! I doubt I'll incorporate that particular scene from Ahsoka but it will happen!

Shin would scamper off the moment Ezra transformed though, he's more than twice her size. One of these days I really ought to make a size reference chart actually.

Poor Sabine is gonna be so tired of being the littlest wolf. She is so done with these Jedi wolves 2 to 5 times her size. She can't wait to go home to beat up Zeb and roughhouse with Jacen.

Her and Shin will be playfighting (once they eventually win her over) but Shin is a lot bigger and does not care about playing nice. She'll just beat up Sabine until she finally yelps and Ezra has to come rescue her. Ezra’s like haha I'm the big sibling now. Loser. (For a while he's a bit protective of Sabine whenever Shin’s around after he found out about the stabbing lol)

Ahsoka Series, But Kaeden Is There, And She's Super Cryptic This Time

Spoilers for Ahsoka Episode 5

Hera, seeing Kaeden chilling in the middle of a weird rock formation chilling on her phone with the space birb Sabine drew on her armor once: What happened? What's going on? Where's Ahsoka? And where's Sabine?!

Kaeden, not even looking up: Jedi Force bullshit stuff happened, it'll all make sense in a bit.

Hera: Do you... Know what happened?

Kaeden: yeah but I'd rather explain it once and I don't know all the details.

Jacen: can I pet the bird?

...

Jacen: I hear someone fighting in the ocean! Maybe Ahsoka's out there!

Kaeden, still chilling: damn, sounds like a pretty intense therapy session.

Jacen: ???

...

*Hera ordering extra searches once Jacen tells her the stuff*

Carlson: what?

Kaeden: Jacen's a little Jedi, his dad was a Jedi too, just go with it.

...

*Ahsoka wakes up and sees Kaeden reading a book with two piles of books next to her*

Ahsoka, sighing: how many books have you read?

Kaeden: Four.

Ahsoka, flopping back down onto her bed: a whole twenty-four hours and I'm still exhausted.

Kaeden, smirking: Guess that's what you get when you avoid therapy or any kind of emotional healing for twenty something years.

Ahsoka: oh shut up

*then they kiss cause they love each other*

...

*Kaeden, explaining the situation*

Kaeden: okay, while Ahsoka was off getting some therapy and emotional healing slammed into her by the Force itself, Baylan manipulated Sabien into giving him the map and they got the coordinates and they took Sabine with them. I think she is coming back with a Jedi girlfriend.

Jacen, very excited: I get a new aunt?!

Kaeden: Yes, I like your attitude about this.

...

*Shin sees Sabine's sketch book open*

Shin: Why are you drawing me so much?

Sabine: 😳

...

*Ahsoka the white happens*

Kaeden: damn, you look good~😏

Ahsoka: not in front of Jacen, Kae😉

...

Carlson to New Republic people, reading from notes Kaeden gave him: so they are going to ride the purgil and find out what the Imperial remnants are up to out there, and Kaeden Larte says "Fuck the whole Senate except for Organa and kinda Mon Mothma but not entirely, get a better hold on your senate, the Empire isn't dead idiots"

NR Fleet: ...

*Ahsoka goes out to talk with the purgil*

Kaeden, to Morai: told you it'd be the whales, you owe me fifty credits

Morai: *annoyed divine birb sounds*

Bonus, Omega(from bad batch) x Miara Larte!:

Miara: I haven't heard from Kaeden in a while, you think she's okay?

Omega, doing some space magic practice: Probably? I can check real quick.

*does space magic*

Omega: Mia honey, your sister's in a purgil.

Miara, sighing: do we gotta get involved?

Omega: maybe? I kinda wanna ride a space whale.

Miara: alright let's go, I was getting a little bored anyway.

*Omega and Miara suit up in Mandalorian armor and call up a space whale with nightsister magic to take them to where the action is*

That's it. I enjoy a good cryptic slightly chaotic Kaeden, being married to Ahsoka comes with that.

Also Nightsister Omega is one of my favorite things so I shoved it in here.

Be back Wednesday for part 4!

२ (2)

The second time you see him, you’re sitting with Sonia in the otherwise empty cantina on The Resolute, drawing up some blueprints for Ahsoka’s starfighter. The young Togruta came to you seeking guidance on how to mend some engine problems ("Anakin refused to help me"), but after a thorough analysis, you found many more issues. And knowing Ahsoka’s itch to get back into the field, you promised you would fix everything up to be as good as new and were rewarded with one of the brightest smiles in the universe and a Thanks Astro! I owe you one!

Despite being trained as a biomedical engineer, you were more often than not placed with the astronautical engineers thanks to your knack of picking up skills extremely quickly. As one of the younger engineers in the GAR, it’s easy for you to jump from one specialization to the next with no difficulty, especially since you enjoy your work.

Thanks to your successful astroengineering projects, you quickly caught General Skywalker’s and Admiral Yularen’s eye as a good addition to the 501st. And soon enough, you were dubbed as Astro.

“–and then we went out to this cute bakery for jogancreams–which, by the way, were to die for–and the waiter messed up our order, but it was okay since we had some time to spare thanks to you, my dear friend. You letting us out early was so worth it. Astro, you’re the best,” Sonia gushes as you shovel another spoonful of food into your mouth, only half listening to her as your stylus glides across the surface of your datapad.

“Yup, the best, that’s me, the one and only,” you chuckle. You bite the inside of your cheek as you look over your designs before shaking your head and erasing a few things here and there, deciding to redraw.

“Oh! I forgot to tell you that before we went to get pastries, Prauf–” Sonia abruptly stops short. The abrupt lack of chatter pulls your full attention as you look up at your friend in confusion.

“Sonia? What happened? You look like you’ve seen a Jawa,” you raise an eyebrow as you stifle a laugh at the surprised look on her face.

“May I join you two lovely people?” a smooth voice asks. You whip around to find a clone–Echo, you remind yourself–standing behind you with a kind smile and a twinkle in his eyes.

Sonia looks between you and Echo so rapidly that you think her eyeballs are about to roll right of their sockets. Then, something washes over her face, and you’re not quite sure what to make of the emotion, or even how to interpret it. But before you can even process what’s happening, Sonia unexpectedly stands up, gathering her bag and gestures to Echo to take her seat.

“Wha–”

“I just remembered I have to–uh–meet up with someone! W-With Prauf, yeah, I told him I’d meet him at his barracks.” Sonia rushes out to explain, already halfway across the mess as you stare at her retreating figure dumbfoundedly. “Bye Astro! Talk to you later babe,” Sonia waves to you and in a flourish, your friend is gone.

You blink in confusion. You turn back around, food and work temporarily forgotten as you face Echo. He’s set his helmet down next to your various datapads, all scattered around the table.

“She seems nice,” Echo smiles politely and you huff out a laugh.

“Yeah, she’s something alright,” you shake your head, amused. You pick up your stylus and continue where you left off. You’re not quite sure why Echo is here. Today is a rest day for the crew and the soldiers alike. Almost everyone is partying it up at the makeshift bar created in the cafeteria on the other side of the ship. There is a reason you made the trek to the opposite side of the party.

“So, your name’s Astro?”

Surprised, you look back up at him. He heard that?

You nod, then shake your head, making Echo snigger.

“Yes or no? Which one is it?”

“Hmm, both I guess? I repair a lot of the GAR spaceships, and that requires astroengineering knowledge, so everyone just calls me Astro for short,” you explain before providing your real name. Echo nods in understanding.

“It’s pretty. Both names are,” he clarifies. You suddenly find your blueprints to be the most interesting thing in the world.

“Thanks,” is what your short-circuited brain comes up with. Frankly, melting into the ground sounds like a great idea at the moment.

But Echo breezes past it so effortlessly that you can’t help but follow his lead. Something about his calm demeanor and whiter-than-snow smile makes you relax despite the tension in your shoulders.

“Of course. So, what are you working on that’s so important that you’re missing the party? Fives really misses you, you know,” he gestures to your array of designs and your attention is pulled back down to your work as you laugh.

“I’m sure he does. But I told Ahso-Commander Tano that I’d work on her starfighter. She didn’t give me a deadline or anything, but you know as well as I do that every single person in this legion will jump at the chance to get into the fight,” you replied affectionately. Even though it’s absolute hell in keeping up with your repairs and reports as head engineer, you wouldn’t have it any other way. If anything, it’s nice to be useful and surrounded by support.

Echo lets out a snicker. “You’re right about that. But everyone needs rest, and I’m sure Commander Tano would want you to have some too. You’re always fixing things–maybe take a break instead?” he offers, wiggling his eyebrows. You do your absolute best to not to roll your eyes, but ultimately fail. This idiot.

You tap the stylus against your temple, pretending to think deeply about his clearly very serious offer.

“It’s a tempting deal…”

Echo’s face lights up.

“But it’s not for me.”

It falls. You hate the way your stomach twists.

“Not for you?” he echoes incredulously. It’s sharp–pierces straight through your skull and down into your heart like an out-of-tune piano. You’re not sure what to make of the situation, hands awkwardly curled into loose fists and resting on the table, the tray of food next to you long forgotten.

You recover. “Yeah. Not for me.”

Echo studies you for a moment. The pin-drop silence of the cantina makes the tension simmer in the air. Some recovery.

But Echo breaks with it with as much ease as shooting his blaster, smoothly moving from one statement to the other. You don’t know how he does it.

“Wait till I tell Fives. He’s going to practically drag you there the second he hears.” The challenge hiding underneath Echo’s smirk gets you back on track.

“You do know that I outrank you both, right? I’m head engineer of the entire ship,” you point out defensively, your eyes crinkling playfully.

He shrugs, leaning back in the chair with a surprising amount of confidence–much more than you expected. “Ehh, just technicalities. Nothing stops Fives when he’s on a mission, not even General Skywalker.”

You let out a laugh at that. “If anything, I’m sure he’s the one who encourages Fives.” Echo nods very seriously in agreement.

A comfortable quiet falls, coexisting with the both of you. It’s warm and soft–familiar, even. You direct your attention back to the starfighter blueprints, sketching over the lines you’ve already drawn absentmindedly. You watch as they become darker with every stroke.

“Have you thought about adding some couplings on the side?” Echo’s voice jolts you out of your light daydream.

“Coup-oh, for the hyperspace ring?” You’re taken off guard by his suggestion, not realizing he was analysing one of your datapad blueprints while you sketched. It’s genius. Guess he wasn’t lying when he said he was better than I thought he would be.

Echo continues. “It looks like there are some engine issues, which could potentially affect the turboboost in the fighter. Even if you fix that though, something could go wrong. So say the engine is damaged but you add couplings–”

“–and then supplement it with sonic clamps and cover it all with connecting shafts for protection, it would allow for the fighter to latch on and power up the hyperdrive ring faster with less need for power! Echo, you’re amazing!” you finish, beaming at him as you scribble the idea down next to your design giddily. Not only did it solve one of your most glaring issues, it went as far as solving a future issue.

Echo grins cockily. “What can I say, I am the brains of the whole operation.”

You giggle at his bold claim, shaking your head in amusement as you finish up a quick design sketch. Echo watches you do so, and when you’re done, he clears his throat.

He stands up then and you have a strange urge to pull him right back down again. Your hands remain frozen as you stare up at him.

Echo gives you a bright smile and you blink. “Well, now that that’s done, will you accompany me to the absolutely despicable bar that all of our friends are getting completely wasted at?”

With a twinkle in his eye and a gloved hand being held out to you, you can’t help but accept. Maybe a break really could do you some good.

You place your hand in his.

“I’d love to.”

(“How did you know where I was, anyway?” “Oh, I have my ways, Astro. I have my ways.”)

please consider reblogging! it really helps me and is super encouraging ^_^

Matt Lanter & James Arnold Taylor at Star Wars Celebration 2023 Day 2

youtube

livestream timestamp: 02:54:50-03:07:10

What is a quote from the show that's less quotable but more haunting, because it was difficult to get out in the moment?

ML: Well, it's not difficult to get out necessarily, but Anakin says something like, and it may not be verbatim, but something like "I realize, more than you know, I realize what it's like, wanting to leave the Order." [note: "I understand, more than you realize, I understand wanting to walk away from the Order." final words to Ahsoka in 5.20 The Wrong Jedi] and that says so much to me. It's something that we never really see Anakin kind of voiced that, he's sort of handcuffed, he felt chained, and he sort of voiced that to Ahsoka. It was such an intimate moment, I love that moment.

JAT: [Obi-wan voice] "It takes strength to resist the Dark Side. Only the weak embrace it." [5.16 The Lawless] That episode was haunting for me. We would get the scripts when we walked into the room. I did not know - spoiler alert! I think at Star Wars Celebration it's okay to say - In Season 5, Satine, I did not know what was gonna happen. So... when Obi-wan says "Satine..." under his breath, those are little ad-libs, those are moments that would just happen because it was heart-wrenching to be there and to be a part of that. Those moments are haunting, because I also think Obi-wan is a true believer. He wanted to see if he could save Darth Maul. He really believed there was a chance, with Ventress or with any of these people that he could maybe, save them. Or any of these people [points to Matt] "You were my brother!"

ML: "I hate you!"

JAT: "Get over it." [laughs]

full recap:

How have years of experience working with both George Lucas & Dave Filoni changed your perspective on Star Wars?

ML: every time we go in recording, Dave would sit there and talk half an hour at least. It's amazing we got work done. He would sit there and talk about Star Wars, where the character were, and share storytelling which he learnt from George. It's a pretty cool moment

JAT: It was those moments where we were recording an episode, and he's through the glass and he's on the phone, and then he hangs up the phone, he says, "OK George just said..." and I'm like "Wait a second, George George?" "Yes." It was so great to watch that, see what he's taken from the Master and made so wonderfully now with everything he's doing.

ML: I feel like I've learnt a lot about character, from Dave.

JAT: and Sketch! He's a great artist. Dave would sketch characters as we're going, so he would draw little Ahsokas for Ashley and things and give them to her. Now she's gotta hold on to them, they're worth a fortune for now I'm sure.

Fave moment making TCW?

ML: some of my fave are moments like this! we're all on stage, we're celebrating TCW and Star Wars in general, travelling with these guys, be up at the ranch. Truthfully, seeing the joy it brings on people's faces, people come up to us and just talk about - "it was my childhood" or some traumatic event but TCW got them through. Those are the little meaningful things that you don't forget. So along with enjoying it, it brings people thorugh tough times. Those are the really, really cool things to hear.

JAT: I would wholeheartedly agree with what Matt says. It's a life-changing experience to be a part of it. I saw Star Wars- I'm the old man in the room now- I saw Star Wars when I was 7yo in a driving movie theater and it changed my life, never thought one day I get to be old Obi-wan. Now I think I'm one of the only peole, if not the only person here, that was actually in the first Clone Wars. So you see those 20 years, Clone Wars 20 [logos], that's because the micro series of Clone Wars, and I was Obi-wan in that, and that was the first time I got to play Obi-wan.

What are you most proud of as your part of the legacy for these characters, that are just larger than life in the Star Wars galaxy?

ML: I think that in TCW, we got to see Anakin a little different than we did in the films. George and Dave wanted to take the Clone Wars time to sort of expand the character of Anakin and make him a hero that we really really loved, so when he falls, and becomes Darth Vader, I feel like it's that much more sad. It's so much more tragic because you rooted for this guy, you cared for him and it also adds more to his story as to why he turned: the loss of Ahsoka, which is something we didn't know about. All of that, it's been such a joy to just add to that character, making him so much more rich than he already was.

JAT: Yeah, I totally agreed. Hayden and Matt complemented so much on this character of Anakin Skywalker and they bring so much to it. I'm honoured to work with this guy on a regular basis, he's an amazing actor, a wonderful friend. We live near each other, he actually lives on a hill now, just so he can say "I have the high ground! [Matt echoes]" It's not fair!

ML: It's true, "I have the high ground."

JAT: And I would say for me, bringing the sass to Obi-wan Kenobi has been the funnest. Yes, I love that too.

What is a quote from the show that's less quotable but more haunting, because it was difficult to get out in the moment?

ML: "I hate you!"

JAT: "Get over it." [laughs]

Anything you want to say to people who has been with TCW/these stories/your characters from the start?

JAT: Thank you all. You all saved Clone Wars. All of you. [stands up] [ML: Yeah, absolutely.] You all saved Clone Wars. We love you. We truly love you and thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

ML: You guys embrace The Clone Wars, and now we've got 7 spectacular seasons of Star Wars content that just adds to the saga, and makes it so much more rich. To be a part of that and feel the love from you guys, the warmth, it's pretty amazing. It's great to celebrate TCW on its anniversary and Star Wars in general. It's amazing to be here.

[host reminiscing SDCC 10th anniversary panel]

JAT: We never thought that it would come back, truly. None of us did. So it was truly fantastic to see that panel. The explosion from everybody there was fantastic.

How emotional was it for you to come back and step into those roles again?

ML: For me, people ask me this all the time, "What was it like to come back?", but I feel like I never really put Anakin down. We were always doing video games, special little projects here and there. And also honestly, Anakin is a part of me. We've been doing now for 15... 17...

JAT: 17 years, because we started 2 years prior to it coming out.

ML: So I mean, I had a Star Wars wedding. Shoutout to my wife, if you're watching back in the States. It's a part of me now, and it's always has been, so I never really let it go. But it was great to come back and be in the booth with these guys, for sure.

JAT: We were in the same studio that we recorded originally, so it was very magical. I remember the last time we did was Ashley and myself, and Dee, and Matt. And Dave goes, "We got it the first time, let's just do it again because it's fun to watch you guys," so we did it like 2 or 3 more times, and that was the energy of it. 'Cause we're really just a family. We truly are a family and we just love being a part of it all.
