#Star Wars children’s books

[jakeperalta]

just saw the hunger games on a "fake dating booktok books" list alongside romance novels.... I am begging people to start categorising books by genre or mood again

#how are you putting a book about children being forced to murder each other in the same category as the star wars fanfiction romance 😭 #talking

Cody: What are you reading? Obi-wan: It’s about a boy who is hearing voices so he has to go to hell wi- Anakin: A CHILDREN’S BOOK! Obi-wan: Yes it’s a children’s book.

enemies to lovers is so difficult to accomplish because we don't really have a modern gauge for how shitty someone is allowed to treat you and still get together with them so we have rivals to lovers where someone is slightly mean to someone once or they were competing academically or worse there was a misunderstanding which is BORING. vs the opposite extreme where its like oh hey I know that two months ago you were a genocidal dictator how's that going? oh you've changed? interesting. i'm incredibly dtf btw. and that always feels a little awkward because it's never that they killed like six people, it's always that they blew up a planet. y'all tryna fuck the guy who hunted your people? his best friend killed your mom and you're hopping on that? wild. but then again it IS more interesting than dating the guy who accidentally hit your car six years ago and forgot to apologize because he was running his mom to the hospital

#and i say this as someone who tried to write enemies to lovers. that shit is fucking rough #enemies to lovers #book tropes #bookblr #tropes #writing tropes #writing #books #i'll tag a few egregious examples #reylo #helnik #serpent and dove #i will say that i like helnik I just think it's CRAZY that hunted person x person hunting is an actual genre trope #children of blood and bone #star wars

Thinkin bout Cryptid Luke…

A few ideas I have…

Luke in Legends’ continuity rebuilt the Jedi Order, but in Disney’s continuity, he did not. And while I strongly dislike Disney’s version of Old Luke, I do like the idea in my head of a lone Jedi operating without any Order (which is not what Disney’s Luke is, so I guess there’s nothing really there…)

Like, in the days of the Old Republic, you had to ask the Jedi for help. The Jedi sometimes stumbled on problems, yes, but they mostly responded to cries for help.

Luke doesn’t have that option. Yes, he can respond when a Force Sensitive calls for help with magic rocks, but for the most part, he is just wandering. He is going where the Force guides him. He is just… not there, blink, there.

I like the idea that things go to shit, Luke shows up in his ominous black hood, Luke solves the problem, then Luke vanishes as quickly as he came, with no trace he was ever there.

However, side idea: Luke travels with his motley crew of children. But, THEY are ALSO crypids!

Like, you are a citizen of some planet. You are just standing on a corner, waiting for a space bus, looking at a space newspaper, and you glance up and see an ominously cloaked figure standing on the opposite side of the street. You cannot make out any features. It is dark out, and he is standing beneath a space streetlight, but all the light does is cast his face further into shadow.

Quickly, you look back down, hoping that the ominous shape across the street hasn’t noticed you. You feel a chill run down your spine. You sneak a glance back up, only to find that there is another black-cloaked figure, standing right beside the first. It is half the first’s height, but it’s also cloaked in darkness.

You look down again. You hear a noise, like moving fabric, and look back up, worried the pair is approaching, only to find another small, ominous shape has joined the first two beneath the space streetlight. You can’t bring yourself to look away, and so watch as another black-cloaked figure emerges from behind the tallest one, the first one.

Finally, the shape moves as though inclining its head. You feel your heart begin to race as it slowly turns to face you, and the streetlights finally illuminate a mouth. A mouth that is baring a smile full of sharp teeth, right towards you.

A space bus suddenly drives past, blocking your view for only a second. But, as the bus passes, the four shapes are gone. Vanished without a trace. The streetlight goes out. You decide that you should never smoke death sticks again, despite the fact that you have never smoked a single death stick in your entire life.

(Luke was going to the grocery store with his children. He was just trying to wait for them to catch up, since he got lost in thought trying to figure out how many vegetables to get. He noticed that the person across the street seemed scared, and so tried to smile reassuringly, but there was a noise in a back alley that he and his three students darted over to check out. It’s a cat. The four of them are very pleased.)

Or, I like to think that there’s a rumour that if you say “Skywalker” in an Imperial base, Luke Skywalker will show up and destroy the place. Most of the Stormtroopers and older people are like “psh, yeah right. Jedi can’t hear their name across the galaxy.”

But, slowly but surely, the whispers of Skywalker’s name are dying out. Because he. Keeps. On. Appearing. Right after anyone says his name, even if it’s in a whisper.

(Luke just so happened to be in the area. It was the will of the Force ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯ )

There are so many options for Cryptid Luke! So! Many! Options! This man does not know how to enter a conversation like a normal person, he just appears from the shadows and scares people. Most of the galaxy think he’s just a myth created by the New Republic and the Empire. The leftover Jedi themselves think that he’s just a myth made up by the New Republic and the Empire. Nobody believes he exists aside from the people who have seen him, but even they are half convinced that they made him up.

I just would like Luke to randomly show up, kill some Imperials, scare some other Imperials, adopt another child, then go home. It’s my ideal.

#star wars #luke skywalker #cryptid luke #star wars original trilogy #you know how he is in the mandalorian #not in book of boba fett #i have not seen bobf #but i like ominous hood luke #who shows up and looks cool #then is like #aw sweet a baby i will care for it as though i myself delivered it #and vanishes again #the children show back up sometimes #and explain that jedi ing wasn’t for them #so master skywalker sent them back with his babysitter robot #the inane ramblings of a madman #i want him to be unhinged like his father and obi wan and qui gon and yoda and ahsoka before him

Behold, a smattering of quotes from Star Wars books that I think about all too often: sad edition

I think about “but cruelty to Han…no.” All too often it’s destroying me.

Books are “The Truce at Bakura” by Kathy Tyers (AN EXCELLENT READ) and “Children of the Jedi” by Barbara Hambly which I have not finished yet.

I didn’t even include all of the instances of Han and Leia internally mourning happy farm boy Luke.

#the legends books mean to end me #Han and Leia always worry about each other and never about themselves #it’s devastating #star wars #han solo #leia organa #leia skywalker #han and leia #star wars legends #the truce at Bakura #children of the jedi

Master Dooku makes cool pies. They are not just some regular cool pies; they are so cool that everyone in the galaxy wants to have a bite.

----

It was supposed to be a tiny picture about inviting Xanatos to the May 4th party. But now it's like... well, perhaps it will turn into a real short story sometime. xD I wonder what's so cool about this pie.

I’m rewatching Mandalorian and wow I love how this show de-villified the Tusken raiders/sand people.

They’re still portrayed as a brutal group, and their attacks and killings aren’t ignored, but The Mandalorian gives them layers that were never shown in the movies. We get to see them conduct trade, protect each other, and struggle with the more dangerous aspects of the desert. They have a rich history. They have their own sign language. They have pet dogs. And suddenly they seem like people instead of monsters.

It’s a great reminder that just because you can’t see someone’s face, doesn’t mean they don’t have one. Which I guess is fitting for a show with a main character whose face is always hidden.
