#good god though obi-wan and vader. good fucking god

[masterkeynobi]

part iii

the tl;dr of my brain on this ep is just. SO. DARTH VADER, HUH.

i say this every episode but god it is deeply compelling how miserable and pathetic obi-wan is i'm sorry. jaded and hopeless and stumbling over his own lies — this was the Negotiator, this was The General Kenobi, this was a hero to millions and now he can't do anything but tremble and run

leia who is clever and bright but still so very young... so perceptive but so naive... i am thinking of anakin (who isn't thinking of anakin here, really) and of how at age ten he had seen and felt too much cruelty to wear this kind of innocence

(i'm sorry but they really dont make darksiders like they used to none of the little inquisitorial squad have remotely any kind of intimidation factor and i cant tell if this is a function of clunky acting (unfortunate) or clunky costume design + effects. in a similar vein i do kind of feel like a lot of the minor chars/extras are breaking my suspension of disbelief? idk the bland american accents + overly modern dialogue + heavy-handed empire loyalist narrative aren't doing much for me)

you know me you know i love a good metaphor. using the force, obi-wan says, is like turning on a light when you're scared of the dark, the feeling of safety that comes with that. thinking about how hesitant he was to use it to save leia last episode. he hasn't felt safe in a decade he's just been sitting here scared of the dark and wallowing in it.

deeply horrific and really funny (a combination continued through this ep) that vader's lair of doom & gloom is on fucking mustafar. something awful about both him and obi-wan spending a decade reliving their worst moments over and over, something awful about neither of them wanting to be where they are, something awful about neither of them being able to die ("you should have killed me when you had the chance")

this is vader at his peak, though. my god. it is so good and right that they don't defang him for this he IS a monster he IS a nightmare made flesh and the sound of his breathing should & does kick your heart rate up a notch

this is so fucking excellent im exulting in it in an awful way OF COURSE HE CAME HIMSELF. OF COURSE HE'S SNAPPING RANDOM PEOPLE'S NECKS TO LURE HIM OUT THIS IS PERSONAL THIS IS THE MOST PERSONAL AND HE KNOWS OBI-WAN INSIDE OUT (of course obi-wan almost collapsed the minute he stepped planetside)

of course obi-wan can't watch other people suffer for him but my god is it incredible to watch him almost shake apart . what have you become / i am what you made me IS ANYONE ELSE INSANE ABOUT THIS... I PERSONALLY AM INSANE ABOUT THIS...

obi-wan is — i cannot emphasize this enough — extremely pathetic this is not mustafar 2.0 this isn't a fight he can win. vader at his peak vs obi-wan who hasn't touched his saber in a decade, whose hand shakes igniting it, who turns tail and runs because he's fucking terrified

obi-wan has spent ten years mourning his brother. vader has spent the same ten years planning, meticulously, how exactly hes going to tear him apart. this is well-thought-out and cold this is slow revenge and the only reason obi-wan isn't fucking dead is because anakin isn't kind enough to make it quick

HE SET HIM ON FIRE. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET OVER THE FACT THAT HE SET HIM. ON FIRE. ANAKIN SKYWALKER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE GALAXY'S PETTIEST MOST DRAMATIC SON OF A BITCH . THIS IS SO FUCKED UP AND AWFUL AND ALSO REALLY FUCKING FUNNY TO ME I'M SORRY. HE SET HIM ON FIRE

i will say i am a little... [raised eyebrow emoji]... about how when tala set fires vader did nothing about it even though literally two minutes ago he put out his own fires with nothing but a wave of his hand. but i'm assuming, for now, that it's something like the thrill of the chase, that obi-wan has nowhere to run and knows he's being hunted, that anakin will get him again inevitably and it'll be worse. yum. delicious. i love star wars and have no feelings about it at all

final note i have been too vader-tunnel-vision to think too hard about the Path but quinlan vos my dearest i am glad to hear you're alive and theres something so . So. about him (& others! but especially him, who survived the purge) doing what jedi do, about him saving children. obi-wan you are not nearly as alone as you think.

wait i lied about that being the final note everyone look at live slug reaction to vader lightsaber ignition and everything that followed

#sree.txt #star wars #watching #kenobi 2022 #rotating the path in my brain like a microwave rest assured it's really something #good god though obi-wan and vader. good fucking god #this recap post ended up being more personal and less eloquent htan my prev ones but such is life i don't feel up to eloquence right now #post-vader brainrot is real #obi-wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #gabesreeisms

Tagged by @purgetrooperfox hoo hee

not tagging anyone but anyone is free to do this :)

“You’ve been starin’ down at your drink for like, ten minutes. The ice melted. Here, just take this one.” Sylv tapped the new glass and Fox glanced at the one between his hands— True to her words, the ice to his drink had melted to nothing.

“You two better not be breakin’ my shit in there, Enbo!"

“Dex is an old god," Sylv scoffed, holstering her blaster as she glanced at Nomi. "He can take care of himself. He knew the risks of staying.”

“You should get out soon, though, I have a feeling it's only going to get worse. We still don't know why the Clones flipped their lids and why the Senate declared the Jedi traitors.”

“How is it that we always end up in this predicament?” she complained, shaking her head a bit as they ran.

“If you forgot, you fucking dumbass, toxins have no effect on me,” she said simply with a roll of her eyes. “And that includes Dioxis."

“He’s dropped by the Clover before. Saccha doesn’t like him, neither does Ajina. I don’t think Charlotte does either, but that’s besides the point,” she hummed, pulling the silver lighter out from her coat pocket. “The point is he’s acting different than he usually would. Keep an eye out.”

“Betcha Eval gets off to watching shit like this then!” she hummed as she moved out of the way of another deadly spike.

“Let’s get out of here, Embabe,” she hummed, making him chuckle a bit. “What? I don’t want to end up like Onca and Kiara, the boss wives wouldn’t like that very much and I have things to do back at my place!”

“You’re just acting weird is all,” she hummed, brushing a bit of dust off of her coat. “Hey, Embo. Welcome to the party.”

“But it’s only a fifty-fifty shot,” Sylv chimed in, “Let’s hope your gamble is correct, if not we’re throwing you through and hoping your body hits the switch instead.”

“I’m a bartender, I help people. I have things to do and would like to be out of here quickly. This entire thing is a waste of time.”

“As soon as his precious emperor is gone, Vader’s like a rabid dog without a leash."

"White Clover is open to anyone, Republic or Separatist, Senator or Clone. As long as you don't cause problems, I don't care," Sylv said casually, as if she hadn't just stabbed the spot between Obi-Wan's fingers with the massive knife she had been using to cut fruit. "This is my Bar, my rules. Deal with it."

"Yeah well, Morrak listens, you don't. Therefore, he's my favorite between the four of you here."

Emilia's below the cut because I love her

“Depends on how mad you all make me,” she mused. “But I know as soon as we’re in the clear, I’m taking a small break. Heading out to Germany to check on Kimberly’s husband and family.”

“But I've lost people under my care. It’s not a good feeling when so many wounded are pouring in. But I didn’t have time to stop, it was only after the fighting had ended that I could process it. Dazed and not totally there for me, I think I cried sometime in that time span."

“It’s not like we can do anything about it, though,” she told them, waving her hand in a dismissive gesture. “Big wigs decided it all. If you’re that cautious then come meet him when he lands.”

“Standing around, König?” Emilia asked, tone flat and as dry as the desert they were in.

Emilia looked back at the door, before shrugging. "Door's broken. Truck's broken. We're working on it."

"I used a dose of horse tranq because thats what it takes to get Grinch down. Don't tell Sandman."

"Look, I'm not even 141, I got my boys to take care of and some British SAS to hunt down, here's more tranq syringes, and now I'm leaving forever," Sturgeon huffed, handing Roach a case that was likely full of the said tranquilizers.

"Alright, I'm done here. Someone tell Nocte not to look for me if he needs something," Emilia said, handing her pack over to Seowoo "I'm walking into the woods and if I'm not back before nightfall, I have fallen into a quagmire and died. Goodbye."

"The 141 went where? Jesus, why am I not surprised that Price ended up in a Gulag... not our problem, though, Overlord just sent over new orders for us."

"I never pinned you for a coward, and yet here you are, crawling back to the people who thought you were dead because you ran away."

"Oh feel free to tell Nightingale about the bullet in your arm, just get ready to head back home because he will be removing that arm from your body. It's your choice."

"Pack it up, boys. Lee's taking us all to wafflehouse as soon as we're boots back on US soil. And I know Sandman hates wafflehouse."

"Some days, I wonder, if I should've asked those bastards to just shoot me in the skull instead of assuming I'd bleed out and die," Emilia sighed, setting her drink down as she sat. "Because watching this soap-opera? Worse than death."

"Hey, props to the 141 for being forced to watch all this shit up close, but that's as far as I'm gonna give it. Because if I see those two acting like lovesick puppies, I'm gonna take Ghost's balaclava and puke in it."

"Did I just give you the little blue pills with the imprints K 85 on them? Because if so, see you later space cowboy. Enjoy that nap.”

“Get her inside” leaves her on the fucking ramp

He’s so cute look at him. I love you Jacen. I hope you know nothing but love in your future. I hope your brother and sister return. I hope—

UH NEW BUNKS IN THE GHOST??

Oh that’s not the ghost. Thank god

That’s all we’re going to see if rex though isn’t it.

We’re not going to see old rex

We’re not…

I want Temuera Morrison on screen. Like. Physically. I don’t just want his voice.

Why is this so hard to ask?!

Awww Jacen playing w chopper 😭

Jacen: I know ur fuckin pawning me off…. It’s working tho.

NO LIGHTSABER FOR JACEN?!

WHY NOT

Since when is ahsoka fucking psychometric tho like. God I hate that random jedi just gain random powers that aren’t theirs

Like psychometry isn’t a common power

goddddd

HERA DOESNT HAVE TO LOSE ANOTHER CHILD TODAY you can see and hear her relief Ughhh I’m feeling things

UH?!

CHOPPERS RIGHT. UH OH.

are they gonna arrest hera or smthn SKFJSK I’d like to see them try. Hera did more for the rebellion than anyone fucking else.

I’d kill them myself if they touched her

O H?!

Purrgil

OOP

Guess it’s killing time.

Hera defense squad: population of one. Me. But I’m a big one.

Hera and the purrgil again. Hera and the purrgil. She has much to feel about them. They took her son. They’ve killed her friends in the past. Now her daughter went down their trail.

And now… she follows the purrgil.

OKAY BUT AGAIN

AHSOKA SHOW SUCKS LOOK AT WHAT THEY FID TO MY PURRGIL

Why are they GREY >:((((

Where’s my pretty blues and yellows and purples

Hooray white ahsoka robes tho. Forgot to say that but. A little too late with the robes. a little too late with my comment. It fits

This Carson guy is doing his best

Where’s Wedge

WHERES FENN RAU

Where’s old rex :(

“You’re not gonna believe me” wow why do we need that line. Disney Writing fr. Good god.

“HOW THE WHALES TOOK EZRA AND THE BAD GUYS FAR, FAR AWAY” !!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAH 😭😭😭😭😭

Jonah and the Whale vibes. Wait no. NEMO VIBES?!

I wish… I wish that hera got to go with. To reunite with her son.

I know why she didn’t though. I get it. But still. Would’ve been… something.

Powering up…

“May the force be with you” hera 😭

And… they’re gone.

Overall:

I do have to say, I'm REALLY peeved they only gave Temuera Morrison ONE LINE of dialogue for this. like THATS the best they could do? No. NOt enough. Bring in Old Rex. Bring him in. Now. I'm not okay with just this. I'm happy we saw him, but that's not enough. Disney fucking owes Temuera Morrison and they fucking owe Boba fans. the LE A S T they could do is this. Fuck you disney.

BUT on a positive note.

OH MY GOD THE ANAKIN AHSOKA FIGHT IS GOING TO FUCK ME UP FOREVER. that fight, the TotA fight, and the OWK fight... yeah. I'm screwed up for life.

[ocd-kenobi]

Hi, the posture Obi-Wan anon here! Sorry for sending you so many pictures, I’m just really fascinated by your explanation. Thank you for doing this!

Hello!!!! Thanks for coming back! Seriously, I’m always happy to go on and on about this. I love this quartet of pain, thank you. 

1. As open/slutty/flirty as he gets! He’s finally close to getting what he wanted! Finally close to his happy ending, so he lets himself loose. This pose echoes the first Phantom Menace pose I analyzed yesterday, BUT with some important differences. His pelvis is tucked under in this picture, which makes me think he’s just fucking exhausted. It’s also how a lot of us tend to stand when our back hurts, even though it usually makes it worse. It’s ALSO a very UNGUARDED way to stand, because your core and back are in no way ready for quick strong movement. Or maybe he’s just letting the importance of his cocked hip (so flirty!) and limp wrist (sending so many signals please pick them up Anakin) override any other sense of his body. His chest is still caved and his shoulders are still rolled forward, so the openness doesn’t seem natural, but it’s like he’s making an effort to open up his body language. (Also, god, just, to be honest, every picture of Obi-Wan OR Ewan McGregor in/around this movie makes my shoulders ache in sympathy because they just look plain sore. So many duels.)

2. You mean the entire half a movie where he stands completely curled in on himself and strokes his beard just to keep himself from throwing up for ten minutes longer? His comfort-seeking posture of hugging his arms close to his chest and fidgeting? The happy medium of a deeply insecure person who has figured out a way to stand in a way that can be passed off as reasonably professional? His ten-year retreat into the internal starts as soon as he sees that holo-recording, and it starts in his body language. Whatever openness he was working up toward allowing for himself at the end of the war gets locked back down in an exaggeration of his habitual guardedness. EXCEPT:

3. This beautiful, vulnerable surrender. This whole awful fight is an exposure for him, a willful admission of all his flaws, including of course the fact that he can’t even finish the job on his own. Idk it’s such a “come back to me” pose. And again, his stance is not strong at all in this photo, he is not braced for impact, his chest is not guarded. He’s not worried about losing this fight; he has the high ground he wouldn’t stand like that for a second if he was anxious about that. But the fatigue and pleading in the limp, open arms pose suggests a plea to stop fighting, not a show of dominance (which I think it would look like if he, say, was standing up straight or held his arms at a harder angle.) Anyways, good de-escalation body language. Good try, buddy. Good try.

4. Him!! My fave rickety old man on his secret rendez-vous! Very interesting to think about. What stands out to me is that this is a moment of him gathering himself and preparing for combat with an old lover opponent. I mean he holds himself with this sort of anticipation once he senses Vader’s presence that he doesn’t have on Tatooine or on the Falcon, where he is more relaxed. But what is interesting is that what he manages to gather here is an echo of propriety, not of strength. Perhaps because he has lost his strength, but can tap into the propriety if he needs to. His back straightens, his shoulders are held back and open (though they seem muscularly uneven from years of living like a normal person). He has his saber at the ready, no longer able to trust his quick reflexes like he was on Mustafar. He may not be braced for impact but he has the appearance of someone who is grounded and emotionally ready for death impact, at least. Weirdly, this is maybe the show of dominance not present in the Mustafar picture, because he has already decided how he is going to win and he does, this time, want to make a statement about it to Anakin, because he’s playing the long, long con of getting him back since pleading didn’t work.

Eyes of the Chimera liveblog

Okay, dramatic eagle in the moonlight, and now a fish...

Oh? Oh, showing the mutant car from the last ep right at the start of- OH THAT'S SO CLEVER WAIT I LOVE THAT, SPEED DEMON EXLODING MADE MORE MUTANTS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

ALWAYS A BOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP THIS INTRO SONG IS A NEVER-SKIP

Oh god Donnie put a metal contraption on April's head an attached JUMPER CABEL CLAMPS OH SHIT HE'S GONE FROM EGULAR SCIENTIST TO MAD SCIENTIST IN THE MONTHS OF LEO'S COMA

He was not this wild with his experiments before, oh dear- oh good it failed but didn't shock her

GIVE MIKEY A TIARA RIGHT NOW

Donnie stop messing with Kraang shit, please.

Oh this is a very cliché psychic test.

Usually I'd side with Mikey here, but no, it is annoying, Even if this wasn't a test of Psychic Powers and was just a game, he'd be spoiling it. There there Mikey, sometimes the Dark ADHD wins with me too.

DONNIE EW DON'T EYEBROW WIGGLE- WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT WORM EFFECT WHAT THE FUCK WORM DONNIE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Leo no. RAPH NO

Raph what do you mean "Casey anyway"? That kid's a fucking powerhouse of a human.

OH FUCK HIS LEG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CAREFUL ON THAT FUCKING LEG LEO

Oooooh okay Grief Expressed As Rage For His new Disability, interesting. Liking this Leo Arc.

OH SHIT DONNIE ACTIVATED HER SUPER SAYAN MODE

DONNIE IF YOU BLAME MIKEY BY DEFAULT AGAIN I WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN LIKE DARTH VADER DID OBI-WAN

Oh, she has telekinesis now, OH SHE'S BLIND FUCK

Awwww. When Donnie isn't being weird and creepy about his crush he's so sweet and gentle and supportive. I wish they just had it left at that without the other stuff.

OH SHE'S SEEING THROUGH THE BIRD'S EYES

RAPH AND CASEY FRIENDSHIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP SPARINGGGGGGGGGGG

Hey don't- don't leave the blind girl alone with no support or method of discerning her surroundings?

DAMN DONNIE YOU GOT SOME SICK AIR- OH MIKEY GOT A GOOD PUNCH- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT HIT LEO'S LEG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Oh shit! Is this episode gonna be April and Leo bonding over being disabled?

IS DONNIE GOING TO GET EATEN AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!

Awwwww "Your pain, your pain!" Casey honey I love you so much.

Oh Casey honey oh your poor head-

MIKEY NEVER TELL THE ANTAGONISTIC FORCE TO "LET YOU DOWN" HONEY YOU WATCH AND READ HORROR STUFF YOU KNOW THIS

So is the Chimera itself going to eat them, or has it reproduced asexually and wants to feed it's children? Hmm, look like it just caught them for itself, that's good

DONNIE AND CASEY TEAMUP TIME WHOOOOOOOOOO BASH THAT THING'S HEAD WITH YOUR STICKS MY BOYS YES

It IS Leo and April bonding over new disabilities! I know this doesn't last, it'd be nice though if they both had long-lasting effects from all of this and learned to deal with it together. April being partially blind, maybe she can see light differences to tell when somethings near but no real shapes or details (I forget what form of blindness causes that). Leo having his bad leg and having to adapt his fighting and movement styles to respect his new limitations. I'd like that.

Oh, poor April. I like her, she's not always written perfectly but I like her.

"We can take this thing!" "Not on it's turf!" Ahhhhh okay another clear indicator of why this ship exists: balancing each other out.

OH SHIT THEY FELL DOWN A HOLE THEY'RE IN UNDERTALE NOW WHERE'S SANS

DONNIE ALMOST DIED SHIT THANK YOU FOR SAVING HIM MIKEY

Leo I get that you're upset over your slow progress, but... you can't be a liability to your team, if your team is dead.

Casey and Donnie both are right, safe from the monster, not safe from like, Starvation. Now is that water below them just weirdly animated, or is it mutagened?

MIKEY AND DONNIE NO oh they're okay phew

Ooooooh okay it's a hot spring/geyser, got it got it.

Pfffft everyone forgot their grappling hooks. Okay let me think of why: Mikey used his to get to the top of a super tall tree earlier and forgot to get it back when he was called back to the house, Donnie used his to grab and pull stuff around his lab since there's no buildings to use it on out here and thus his mind now defaults it to a Lab Tool, and Casey forgot his because he has five million other weapons and tools he grabs every time he suits up and sometimes it's a little overwhelming and things are forgotten.

Raph has a point, their odds of Kidnapped By Giant Mutant are very high. At the same time, this means everyone should have extra gear, not just one piece, so you should be carrying two hooks instead of just one, Raph.

HEY YEAH WHY IS IT ALWAYS ON DONNIE, RAPH?!?!?!?!?! DON'T SPECIFICALLY POINT HIM OUT WITH THE "PREPARED FOR ANYTHING" COMMENT HE'S UNDER ENOUGH PRESSURE AS IT IS TO DO LITERALLY EVERY OTHER FUCKING THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"You're the scientist!" RAPH THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE'S INFALLIBLE AND BESIDES SCIENTISTS ARE KNOWN FOR BEING A LITTLE WILDIN'

God this thing is nasty.

Oh god, April is gonna eat Leo, shit. OH APRIL'S LOSING IT OH NO

Okay good she's back.

Leo honey it's called adrenaline from almost being eaten. Pick that crutch back up right now young man.

YAY THEY CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION! MIKEY AND DONNIE TEAM-UP SOLUTION HOURS!

WHOOOO AND CASEY HELPED TOO!!!!!!!!!

Oh Casey, careful sweetie- OH NO RAPH NOOOOOOOOO THE ROPE GOT SNAPPED

NO MIKEY'S BUTT GOT BOILED- pfffft "sweet little turtle tush" Mikey what

LEO APRIL DID YOU TWO CLIMB A FUCKING- THEY'RE CLIMBING A FUCKING MOUNTAIN WHAT THE FUCK LEOOOOOOOOO THE ADRENALINE IS GOING TO WEAR OFF AND YOU'LL BE FUCKED

I'm right on top of us is a very funny phrase

OH HIS LEG- whoa what in the Narnia is this music

Oh, Mikey baby, you tried

OH THEY'RE UNDERWATER NOW OH LEO STABBED IT OH SHIT

ARE WE IN A FUCKED UP VERSION OF HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON NOW?!?!?!?!?!

LEO YOUR LEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN WILL EXPLO- THEY'RE USING IT AS A LIVING LADDER?!?!?!?!?!

DONNIE DON'T SHOVE CASEY YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FRIENDS NOW

Oh no an Avalanche LET'S ALL SCREAM ABOUT IT

YAY LEO AND APRIL FRIENDS THEY LIKE NEVER INTERACT THIS IS NICE

Sith Obi-wan Kenobi is the most lethal of the enemies, not because he is powerful on the force like Sidius or Vader, but because he has charm, he makes allies, his control over his own power is precise, deadly precise, he has the Jedi training integrated on his body and (depending on how far in his life he is and how canon you want to count his life of absolute misery during his padawanship) years upon years of experience that not many in the galaxy can say that they have and much less survive out of it, he was set on a pad of Infinite Sadness, and he took it, made his feelings fester and grow until one day he decided that he was done, his Fall was a surprise to everyone but himself

I love this song See, THIS is why I like the Sith Obi-Wan AU idea. I think Obi-Wan has a lot of motivation not to fall, but I also think he has a lot of potential points in his life where he could if the wrong thing happened at the wrong time. And if he did, everyone would be fucked, because ALL THESE REASONS.

I love thinking about things like always-a-Sith!Obi-Wan as a general leading the Separatists, I've read a couple good fics like that, but I also like imagining that conversation between Obi-Wan and Dooku going very differently in Attack of the Clones. If Obi-Wan was just a little more tired, or frustrated, if Dooku had focused all his attention on his grandpadawan and taken the sympathetic tack instead of dangling (true) intel because he knew Obi-Wan would never believe it...I don't know, it's a fun what-if to consider.

Throws this at the Cal Kestis Kenobi crew!

Hiii I’m Obi-Anon!! About the Anakin god thingy is just because he is son of the Force but you are right is closer to the anti-Christ or straight up Eldrich anomaly lol

Honestly would love to see more fics or art with Anakin as an eldritch manifestation of the Force while he's a little kid, although neither Shmi nor Obi-Wan deserves him being all creepy.

It would be very funny though if his Force powers started manifesting really hard for a short time when he was a little kid. Floating a couple inches off the floor instead of walking until Shmi asks him to stop, things like that. Just doesn't mention this to Obi-Wan or any of the other Jedi because he assumes everyone goes through the "floating instead of walking" phase.

I'm not even watching the tags, but the posts I've seen on my dash from the sudden Goncharov fandom seem to be encapsulating all the essential elements:

Posts doing deep-dive analyses into cinematography, costuming, characterization, music, and other aspects of this piece of forgotten cinema

Artistic gifsets and fanart and fics

The Ship Wars

This feels like if Christopher Guest had made a mockumentary about a Tumblr Movie Fandom.

My #1 post of 2022

Cal Kestis is Obi-wan’s son, I just know it he was to be!! What other redhead is there that can look so similar to pawadan Obi?! Or is the lack of sleep finally catching up with me?!

Look

Look

"Cal Kestis is Obi-Wan's son" is my favorite Star War conspiracy theory. The timing works out perfectly if Obi-Wan had a delightful evening with a lovely woman on whatever planet he and Qui-Gon visited before Naboo. And no shade to those who love them but I really don't care much at all about Satine or Korkie or especially Korkie's parentage

At this point unless they disprove it in canon I'm just embracing the madness that is Cal Kestis Kenobi.

Part 6 of my Kenobi Breakdown - Spoilers under the cut!

I genuinely think this episode is a masterpiece. This show is the a fantastic mix of the original and prequel trilogies, and the darker, modern Star Wars TV shows we have come to love.

God I never talk about the title screen but it invokes some serious emotion in me

Fuck HIM UP REVA

Don’t fuck HIM up Reva

The swishy cape I’ll never shut up about the swishy cape

General brain is kicking in yet again - I missed General Kenobi so much

Leia is so wonderful as always, always looking out for people

LUKE!!!

I love Obi-Wan so so much I don’t talk about him enough in his own show. He is everything the Jedi should be

Oho Beru is not taking shit what a woman

THEYRE GONNA FIGHT OHMY GOD

Haja my love

Responsible Uncle Obi-Wan followed instantly by Realistic Uncle Obi-Wan. We love to see it

Ewan McGregor stop that right now (I’m kidding, don’t ever stop, you’re a damn treasure)

“It’s about you and him” isn’t it always

Shut your bitch ass up inquisitor egghead

“I’m not afraid” okay bby but I am

Aww man he has Lola - and his smile… gets me every time

Ohoho the mist, the breathing, the wind, THE WIDE SHOTS

He will do what he must, fucking… FUCK WHAT “THEN YOU WILL DIE” THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEYRE DOING TO US

God the sound the of the lightsaber growing more intense as the camera moves forward god that’s… there are literal pieces of art in this show

And then there’s this chaos

Owen has cat energy, no I don’t take criticism

The blue and red lighting on his helmet my god

OH NO HE HAS THE HIGH GROUND

Well fuck

God everything he says is so Anakin I’m

He doesn’t want to kill him why wouldn’t he check to see if he’s really dead he doesn’t really want this

“HE IS MY OWN” OWEN LARS WHAT A MAN

BERU

God bby Luke and Leia go through some shit

Not the memories again no thank you!!

LEIA AND LUKE ARE HIS STRENGTH OH

There goes the SCORE

Obi-Wan going BEAST MODE OKAY I DIG IT

Oh no THERE goes the score

Fuck it’s so tragic oh my god

OH NOOO NOT THE AHSOKA HELMET SLASH OBIWAN YOU DONT WANT TO SEE THIS

Told ya

“Anakin…”

Oh

Oh no

Fuck this

God the transition from blue lighting to red over their faces oh man

You can’t do the kenobi maul scream man don’t try it

God he gave it a good shot tho damn

She won’t do it man she can’t become everything she’s been fighting against

Once again Star Wars shows us that revenge is not worth all you lose in pursuit of it

Yes give Reva the redemption arc she deserves please and thank you

Again I will be singing Moses Ingrams praises

I love how Star Wars puts such weight on the importance of choices - we decide who we become, we don’t have to be ruled by our past

Shit man we’re back in it okay

Does he just have like… a bunch of spare helmets lying around?

Oh wow palps looks weird

OOH THE VADER THEME HELLO

Alderaan, my love

The blaster holster oh

The LEIA OUTFIT

SUPPORTIVE MUM YES WE LOVE TO SEE IT

BAIL ILY

Ahah she goes straight for Lola

BAIL AND OBI-WAN HUG YES BEST BROS

His LAUGH god yes please go to bed you’ve earned it

The way he speaks about Anakin and Padmé

Yes you will see him again… briefly

No one knows how to respond to “may the force be with you” what do you even say to that man

Give him the toy dude Owen’s chilled out a bit now

Where’s he going though why’s he packing up like that

LUKE come meet your other uncle!!

Yeah he gets to be a boy ‘til he’s nineteen and then it all goes to shit

YES HE WANTS TO MEET HIM LOOK AT HOS SOFT LIL FACE

“HELLO THERE” IM DEAD

God look at him on his space camel wheres he off to huh

Obi-Wan Part V

I thought yesterday was Wednesday, and nearly looked for the new episode before realizing it was Tuesday. Then today, I forgot it was Wednesday and almost got spoiled before remembering to watch this episode.

Oh Anakin. Young Ani. Oh my sweet child. I never thought in my entire LIFE that I’d actually be happy to see the stupid Jedi rattail braid. But I’m happy to see it on Ani. I’ve literally forgotten for like 3 episodes now to check who is voicing Vader. Ok good they DID get back James Earl Jones. Yeah ok get all the people out now please please please. “He hasn’t the patience for a siege.” “How do you know?” Because the boy once dived out of a moving speeder. For some reason my brain was like “Imagine if we see Captain Phasma.” but I realized this is still 50+ years before we reach the sequels. “You trust me? I trust her.” People trusting Leia. I’m emotional. More Leia and Grogu parallels. Bail’s devotion to the Skywalker twins. He’s not sure if Leia and Obi-Wan are safe, so he’s planning at the very least to protect Luke if he can’t save his own adopted daughter. Guys help me. Help. I’m really emotional. Yay I was right!! I was right about Reva being a youngling! “I thought he was here to help us.” God that’s the worst part. When that kid comes out and says “Master Skywalker?” Fuck. For lack of better word, fuck. She played dead and hid with the other dead bodies. No wonder they put a warning before the episode.

Hey America. If we have to put warnings before sci-fi fantasy shows because the horrible thing that happens in the show is too close to things that happen in real life, then maybe, just maybe, THE COUNTRY HAS A PROBLEM.

“You’re not serving him, are you? You’re hunting him.” YES YES YES THANK GOD YES. I mean I don’t want Ani to be killed and I know he won’t be, but still YESSS. “Where were you while he was killing my friends?” Riding a lizard and battling a cyborg with 4 arms. “He was your Padawan.” Oof that guilt. No not Tala. No lightsaber? “You’re not bringing him to me, I’m bring him to you.” Ah so that’s his weaponless plan. Yeah I have feeling Obi-Wan’s just gonna let Reva fail while he escapes. OH MY GOD THE SPLIT SECOND OF REALIZATION THEN JUST HOLDING THE SHIP COMPLETELY WITH THE FORCE. OH MY GOD. Seriously, I forget how scary Vader is sometimes. He really is Space Jesus powerful. WOW. JUST TEARING IT UP. DOUBLE WOW. A SECOND SHIP. Yeah this was not gonna work out for Reva. God I love the spinning saber though. Was that double-wield moment a reference to Asokha? I’m hurting. She’s so flashy and he’s barely trying. So he knew she was a youngling. But did he know at the time when he stabbed her that she was still alive, and he chose to just let her die rather than ensure she was dead? That’d be ironic since Obi-Wan would do that to him only a few hours later on... god I’m so sleep deprived. The lava planet. You’d think he wouldn’t make the same mistake twice though, stabbing her and leaving her to die. Also I thought he’d pull a Count Dooku and use both sabers to cut off her head. That would have been fun and more efficient. Oh nooo. Earlier when they were talking through the door I was like “Reva knows about Ani, but she still doesn’t know these kids are his kids... right?” And she just found Bail’s communicator, so she’s gonna know now isn’t she? Yep. Great. Reva my girl please don’t. And there’s little baby Luke. Let the boy be please.

While checking IMDB to make sure it was James voicing Vader, I saw the Part V was so far the highest rated episode. I see why. There was a lot of pain. And a lot of realizations.

But GOD I hate when life parallels the sci-fi I’m watching. Stranger Things and Obi-Wan needing warnings. And when I rewatched Torchwood: Children of Earth in 2018 I accidentally coincided the rewatch with the first revelations of Drumpf’s family separation policies. Ugh. It’s not fun when sci-fi is this realistic.

I’m sad about Tala though. But I’m glad I got to see my girl Indira in this show.

[rapha-reads]

Star Wars brain rot is a complicated thing. Aka I'm having way too many feels about the Prequels and I need to vent them out.

Last week with my sisters and my mother, we found a diary I had when I was 12. In it, I was already talking about how I like imagining what happens after a story ends, or re-imagining how it happens, and notably I talked about how much I loved Star Wars. 16 years ago already the Galaxy Far Far Away had invaded my brain.

But the thing is, your Star Wars opinions at 12 are not the same as your SW opinions at 16, at 20, at 26. (the same is also true for Lord of The Rings, by the way)

I used to swear only by the Original Trilogy, though, hopeless (a)romantic that I am, I would rewatch Attack of the Clones fervently (for Anidala, in case that wasn't clear), and stay away from Revenge of the Sith because I couldn't handle Anakin's Fall. I just love Ani, okay, and seeing in excruciating details how we went from the adorable blond head of The Phantom Menace to Lord "Choke Me Daddy" Vader of A New Hope, that's a bit distressing. Even if you love the Originals. It's hard to reconcile the two - a bit like Anakin/Vader can't see his two sides as the same person too.

Then Rogue One came out, and man, oh, man, how I was obsessed with this one. It was my main fandom (because at that point, I had a virtual map of fandom space and a guide to fandom life, which I didn't have at 12) for many, many months.

I didn't... think... of anything else besides the good ol' "Skywalker Family Drama, now in technicolour in every theater of this universe and the next!". Silly me.

I'm finally catching up on The Clone Wars and oh gods the Prequels are actually, genuinely amazing (no I'm not taking any criticism) and TCW is making me feel too much ? And maybe the real tragedy all along wasn't Anakin and Obi-Wan, but every single person -kriffed- sorry fucked by the Force, starting with the Clones (the clones!!!!!) and the actual Jedi ???!!!! I'm having a lot of Mando'a, Tattooine slave and Naboo cultures feels.

Time to erase the Originals and let Anakin be happy. And Sithspit, DECHIP THE CLONES AND GIVE THEM RIGHTS NOW.

This rant was brought to you by "Rapha is experiencing emotional issues the size of a Star Destroyer, please stand by while ze works through them"

Just finished Literature Devil's video on the Obi-Wan/Vader ROTS fight and oh my GOD I used to like this guy. How does he not get any of it.

First he starts off misunderstanding the sand quote but we're used to that, whatever, not everyone has a brain, sure. He could have made an effort but this isn't what the video is about.

One of the things that absolutely struck me and I'm surprised someone would say that on the internet in front of thousands of people because that's like admitting to no reading comprehension whatsoever is that - he says a good scene goes from one of the main core emotions, glad, sad, mad or afraid to another one and preferably switches in the middle, otherwise it's boring and hollow. Okay yeah. But he says the scene starts with us feeling sad that Vader turned to the dark side and only switches at the end with us feeling happy that Obi-Wan won, and - there's my problem. In what world do you think we're supposed to feel happy about the outcome of that fight?? These two guys, closer than brothers, more intimate than lovers, two halves of a single warrior, had to fight each other and one of them maims the other one and you think we're supposed to be happy that Obi-Wan won?? Nobody's happy about this! Not Vader who lost the rest of his limbs and won't really know happiness anymore, not Obi-Wan who just dismembered his best friend/brother/other half, and not the audience because this is a fucking tragedy!! What the fuck. How do you misread the scene that bad. And he says it a few times! Like what sir. What the fuck. It's pretty obvious this is sad and it sucks. But apparently Mr Literature Devil sees Obi-Wan's devastated face and hears "I loved you" and goes "ah yes I'm so happy he won :)" ???

Tied to that but he also says that the only moment where the course of the battle changes is the end, and that that makes the rest feel flat. His fix-it fanfic version of the fight includes Obi-Wan attacking Vader more aggressively, with switches from him dominating the fight (which we once again are supposed to be feeling happy about for some reason) and then Vader having the upper hand, but then Obi-Wan is coming out on top again and he ends up cuting the rest of Vader's limbs. And ?? Obi-Wan wouldn't dude do you understand the character or what. Only one of those men is trying to kill the other here. Obi-Wan isn't for real trying to kill his other half, he's being the patient boyfriend waiting for his girlfriend to get tired so they can hug and talk it out. He wouldn't feint to cut Vader's limbs or whatever, this is the other half to his warrior.

Gotta say though he suggests Vader gloating about beating Obi-Wan before he's truly beaten, right before he feints and cuts of his arm, which is just what happens in that Obi-Wan Kenobi flashback so yeah that checks out, and also that there should have been a moment of calm in the middle for Obi-Wan to meditate a little like Qui-Gon does in TPM, which would have been like poetry and rhymed, and I can't say that's terrible either. Like I much prefer those two suggestions to the rest. Would it be appropriate, especially the meditation, I'm not certain, but it doesn't immediately jump to my fave as being a shit idea, so hey.

(also he really is just writing fanfiction and pretending like it's correcting canon or whatever, get down your high horse and join us on AO3 instead of thinking you're better than everyone??)

#anyway yeah lots of feelings about star wars on this fine day #used to like that guy's 'rey is a mary sue' videos a few years back #i had my anti-sjw period when i was a kid what do you want me to say #i got better though #but yeah #the bad fanfic presented as Genuine Correction That Would Be Better gets to me sooo bad #like dudes. you're not better just because you don't post your fanfic on ao3 #it's not because the cringe fix-it goes in someone's yt comments that it's not cringe fix-it #and we love cringe fix-it here! we love people having ideas and being creative even if the ideas aren't always our cup of tea! #but stop thinking you're better than the rest of us when you're doing the exact same #kind of surprised things jumped at me during that video though #cause usually i suck at media analysis unless you guide me through it #but the happy thing just jumped out to me #ANYWAY #wow i have a ramble tag now #star wars

Obi Wan Kenobi Ep 2 Live Thoughts, Spoilers ahead

OH my heart is aching, a clone (looks like 501st as well, which means he probs recognises Obi-Wan)

Obi doesn't even know about the chips and he still gave money to the clone

There's always a Jedi who helps people

oooo he's a fake jedi (also omg it's kumail nanjiani) but I'm worried. It looks like he "helps" force sensitives to safety but is he actually sending them to safety?

Sassy Obi is back and he's annoyed

Okay the fake jedi actually does help people but obviously also swindles them

oooo thats a zabrak

damn obi has still got it and he's still throwing out those cocky one liners

see some of the suspense is taken out of this whole predicament considering we know they all survive till ANH

Leia is always expecting an army to rescue her, she knows what she deserves

Sassy Obi meet Sassy Leia, if anakin hadn't fucked up so badly, you would have been an iconic duo

Listen obvs don't want Reva to catch obi but the grand inquisitor screwing her over is not cool

Also I legit have no idea how they thought his whole "least of us" speech to Reva wasn't yikes

Obi's little sigh of "ugh how annoying" when he realises the bounty hunters are looking for him is peak Obi

Obi buying gloves for Leia 🥺🥺🥺

Leia is so unbothered, she's just like make me float

OMG SHES DOING THE PEOPLE READING THING ON OBI

Obi totally smirked at her doing that, he's secretly proud

I like this little power struggle going on between Reva and TGI

Also all the best villains are obsessed with Obi Wan

Obi Wan just cannot be the bad guy can he, he's like "Good" and then asked about her little droid

Your father is a very old friend has a very sad double meaning there, he protects Leia out of loyalty to Bail AND Anakin

Reva why you doing parkour right now

Also Obi Wan genuinely drawing attention to himself to keep Leia safe

OMG OBI WAN USING THE FORCE TO MAKE LEIA FLOAT

It did look like it was a strain on him though, I feel like he legit hasn't used the force at all in 10 years

HE REMEMBERED HIS NAME

Haja may be a scoundrel but he is a jedi supporter so it makes him okay in my book

You're not alone OBI-WAN. He called him OBI WAN

Haja trying to buy Obi some time 🥺🥺🥺

Leia REMINDS HIM OF SOMEONE 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Leia my precious child I'm so glad you grow up to become one of my favourite characters

Obi Wan could have been such a good uncle to the skywalker twins if only Anakin hasn't messed up

HOW DID HE NOT KNOW???????? OH GOD OBI WAN FINDING OUT IS HEART BREAKING

SHE KILLED HIM?? That doesnt make sense, TGI is still alive during rebels which is another five years from now? unless it's a different one to this one?

ANAKIN

THAT ENDING THOUGH, MY HEART

Amazing second episode. How did Obi not know though??? Vader is legit second in command of the empire and has been for 10 years

#star wars #obi wan kenobi #v makes a post #v watches x

[oflgtfol]

Yeah I definitely have to agree. I like seeing Obi-Wan struggle with everything and trying to give up his Jedi past but otherwise he is just kinda there, we knew who he was and what happens to him so I can’t imagine there being much that’s gonna happen besides maybe something with Reva. I really wouldn’t have any feelings either if they put a Vader confrontation in the show though I get why people might like it better if there wasn’t I guess. I do like though that at least the stories not all revolving around luke so far. And yeah pm same about the other characters, I like luke han and leia as a trio but not so much just as characters on their own. Also right Anakin was clearly violent from the start but for some reason people act like it makes sense for padme to not have been any the wiser. The flashbacks at the start of Obi-Wan with her just repeating there’s still good in him was not a fun line to remember lol. Also when Obi-Wan was talking about how Leia reminded him of someone I literally thought he meant Anakin at first, then Ashoka before I thought of Padme 😅 Little Leia seems like she can instantly figure people about I wouldn’t say the same for her. (Here’s the mando link, its not the best footage but it’s the only ones I’ve seen https://youtu.be/aRPfPT_8x4k)

yeah while i don't care about obi-wan i do think this series is very interesting for exploring his character in between the PT and OT. i think pretty much everyone had already figured what kind of mental state he was in during that time but it's still great to actually see it. i kinda wish it was more introspective and character-driven than action-driven, but so far from the first two episodes at least, it's striking an okay balance between the action and the introspection.

i really wanna see a vader confrontation because. well. as much as i hate anakin, i like vader? as a character at least, obv not as a person. i guess because as anakin, he's never punished for his crimes or even seen as BAD, he's continuously rewarded or at least just never acknowledged for them. but as vader he is very obviously A Bad Guy Who Commits Atrocities, like that's very much integral to who vader is, and so it's sort of a great relief to see it be so undeniable when as anakin it's always denied!

but i actually don;t know if there will be a confrontation? it's been nearly a year since the one (1) time i ever watched the OT so i can't remember the line exactly but didnt they say in ANH that obi-wan and vader hadn't met since mustafar? so if i'm not mistaken then for continuity reasons they probably wont meet. which sucks. i wanna see obi-wan at his absolute fucking worst, this absolute shell of a man with nothing left to live for, come face to face with the monster his studentbrotherson became. IF I AM MISTAKEN THOUGH, and them meeting in showbi wan IS possible, then like, is that the reason why obi-wan shifts from "anakin is alive" to "anakin died on mustafar / darth vader is not the man i once loved" cuz if so then that's GREAT. i may not care about obi-wan and i may actively dislike anakin/vader but GOD i love me some narrative drama and fucked up relationships. i'm metaphorically munching on popcorn as i type this

and yes showbi wan featuring more leia than luke is such a breath of relief to me. i adore little leia so much and it's so great seeing her be focused on for once, both in general and also because by god disney has been milking luke's appearances in sw media lately so badly

and ZOMG thank u for the link <3 idk how i feel about how plot heavy s3 is gonna be from the looks of things but im excited anyway i think <3

Hi there! Your Obi-Wan/Anakin fics, especially your sith Obi-Wan and Pretty Bird, are some of my favorite fics for that ship ever for some of the reasons that were mentioned over the past couple days. Namely I find it refreshing for Obi-Wan to be the one mostly doing the perusing and doing what it takes to be with Anakin. You mentioned you have read some good fics with a similar dynamic that were AU and Cannon. I’m wondering if you have any fic recs??? Even if they are outside of that dynamic I’d love recs but since you mentioned you read a few good ones I thought I would ask 🙂

Hey!!! I am about ten days late, but I'm finally getting around to really answering this. These are fics I can remember off the top of my head where Obi-Wan pursues Anakin/does what it takes to be with Anakin.

There's only 8 here which I'm bitter about because I know I'm forgetting so many good ones I've read and genuinely enjoyed but my AO3 history is literally 640 pages so. So. If anyone has any good recs that fall under this category, please send them in!!

Also if you haven't already read these stories and you like them, remember to leave kudos and comments!!

1. Open Circle (rated M) by Calyss. Oh god, this fic? I absolutely love it and it's on my To Rerereread List immediiately. It features a Sith!Obi-Wan who will stop at nothing to have Anakin by his side again. I love Anakin's POV in this as well, because he swings so believably from wanting to be with Obi-Wan to feeling guilty because clearly everything Obi-Wan is dong is because of the Dark Side and he should try to save him. A scene that still makes me laugh is the scene where Obi-Wan is massaging Anakin's shoulders and Anakin to himself is like, 'wow the Dark Side is getting very inventive/really taking this seduction thing seriously'. Also I do like what the author does with the Jedi Council and Padmé's character, because the main narrators are Obi-Wan and Anakin here, and both are biased to extreme ends which very, very comes through at different parts of the fic. I would say it's not a kind story to the Jedi, the Republic, or Padmé, but it is a great story for obikin if you like reading them just absolutely obsessed with each other.

2. The World Undone (rated M) by lilyconrad. Also on my Rerereread List and has been for weeks now. I am low-key obsessed with this story. It's a Sith!Obi-Wan (again), who pursues and eventually wins over a Jedi Anakin. There's so much intricate plot weaving and world building here that I don't actually want to say anything else in case you haven't read it? But you should. You. Should. Everything about it just pulled me in, and I love Obi-Wan's genuine love and affection for Anakin in this fic. It's also. Not super kind to the Jedi, but it has Ahsoka in it!!! And I love Ahsoka. So.

3. Burning Down The House (rated M) by goretier. This is only about 13k, but I absolutely love what they have so far. If we're talking Canon AUs, I think I love Senator!Obi-Wan almost as much as Sith!Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan here is much more confident in his sexuality (ok he's a bit of a whore) and Anakin is at turns blushing and lustful.

4. Speak Easy (rated E) by @unpheenix. Okay, I am so excited for this fic that I'm including it now. It's got 2 chapters and you better enjoy the hell out of them because they're absolutely amazing. It's a possessive!Obi-Wan, set in a modern AU but historical modern? They're not aliens, they're bootleggers, basically. Anyway. Please. It's great.

5. Negotiation (rated E) by Glare. I am not going to pretend this fic is for everyone, it's definitely not so please decide for yourself because this is definitely dark stuff. It's a modern AU, where Obi-Wan is a serial killer who is obsessed with Anakin and kidnaps him to a cabin in the woods. There's absolutely no rape/non-con, but there's definitely a lot of stockholm syndrome going on, so I really advise looking at the tags and the summary and maybe even scrolling down a bit to see if that's something you're comfy with!

6. Parrots, Parkour, Pirates, Punk, and Perfect Strangers (rated T) by Ghost_Owl. This is a one-shot that's very light-hearted and cute, which means I loved it! I'm not sure how well it fits the theme of this list, except that Obi-Wan decides Anakin is cute enough to try and impress with some casual parkour. Super cute modern AU!

7. My Anankē (rated E) by @intermundia. OOF. I'm including this here because I think it kind of fits, as Obi-Wan in this is very much interested in keeping Anakin with him (in a healthy way, which is a first for this list maybe?). I absolutely love everything in this story and would wait on more with my dying breath of course, but every chapter is pretty stand-alone. It's a modern!AU, with Obi-Wan as a professor and Anakin as a student--but they wait to get together until the very last moment, which is just torture to the audience (me) to read because the author does so well building up the tension and anticipation.

8. to touch the light, darkest (rated E) by @treescape. This series is so new and absolutely amazing and dirty and great. Highly recommended. Definitely mostly porn. Obi-Wan fucks Vader back to the light. Yeah. Yeah. It's great. I think it falls under this category because Obi-Wan is pretty possessive here, even though he is technically Vader's captive. It's just. Damn!!

back on my w: two worlds bullshit but also make it star wars and obi-wan and anakin angst, because in typical caroline fashion, i’ve wondered about like. au? au. like, lowkey a canon divergence but also not a canon divergence au, i don’t really know how to describe it, but it’s really fucking meta--

anyways. thoughts under the cut, because i don’t want to burden anyone with ‘caroline what are you talking about why don’t you just write/don’t you have things to do’ shhhHHHHhh at this point i’m just a miserable pile of half-written docs and ideas but let me word-vomit for a second  (but also please do indulge me in this because i need to scream and i lowkey am into this idea but also i have too many things to write but also)

okay, so i’ve already rambled a bit about w: two worlds, but basically, the actual kdrama’s premise is that a young woman accidentally is dragged into the world of the comic/webtoon her father writes--essentially, this young woman saves the comic protagonist’s life, and she keeps accidentally slipping into the world, and it’s just. it’s so fucking meta and so fucking good and so fucking smart, and even though i think this is the kind of story that you.....can’t really mimic just because of how fucking smart and unique it is, it still got me thinking about star wars but make it “w” and uh--

disclaimer: i don’t think i’d ever actually write this because it would be so niche and also so incredibly convoluted, idk man i’m just kinda going off here: 

- so, the events of rots do happen. (note how i said that this is still slight canon-divergence au but also not? yeah, it’s about to get super complicated) 

- and of course, at this point, the galaxy like....no one except like obi-wan and yoda and bail actually know that darth vader is anakin, right? i think that’s what the situation is? 

- anyways, i think that’s where the story picks up: obi-wan’s in the middle-of-nowhere tatooine, and no one knows where/what the fuck happened to anakin skywalker, but we know that anakin skywalker was a pretty well-respected/public figure (because war propagandaaaaa) 

- anyways, thinking about obi-wan kenobi coming into town one day and realizing that people are shadily passing around a data pad to look at hey, this story just updated!!! this story just updated, and obi-wan realizes that there’s a rebelling artist somewhere out in the galaxy making comics about a young man who just so happens to Look Like and Act Like and also is named Anakin Skywalker, except he’s not a jedi, he’s just a regular guy making an honest living in the galaxy (and also on the hunt to avenge his friends’ and his family’s mysterious deaths) 

- i know, really fucking meta at this point 

- things are harmless enough: obi-wan tries to ignore this comic’s existence (if anything, he’s a little insulted by it because how dare you use his face and his name and turn it into...whatever this is), but like. 

- the thing is, grief is a funny thing, and sometimes you start to look for your person everywhere. 

- so obi-wan winds up reading along. he reads, and sometimes he thinks that things are a little too eerie--like, apparently, obi-wan is one of the people who was mysteriously killed / anakin’s mom was mysteriously killed / the dialogue is way too fucking real-- 

- anyways, the comic updates one day: obi-wan sees that the author has somehow decided to basically almost kill off anakin--bleeding out in the middle of nowhere, and obi-wan just watches and it’s painful because this isn’t actually anakin, this is just a comic character-- 

- and that’s when obi-wan gets pulled in. 

- obi-wan kenobi--our obi-wan kenobi--staring at this anakin skywalker-but-not-really-anakin-skywalker, who is bleeding out at his feet-- 

- obi-wan saves anakin’s life because what else is he gonna do, it doesn’t matter if this guy is a comic book character or not--he’s still going to save this person who has his best friend’s face 

- obi-wan gets transported back into his world. he looks down at the comic to find a drawing of himself saving the comic-anakin and promptly freaks tf out because that just happened why did that happen how the fuck did that happen 

- anyways, lots of other things happen. obi-wan now sometimes gets randomly pulled into this comic, and the comic-anakin skywalker is freaking out a little too because he’s like “you look exactly like my best friend, only my best friend was murdered”. and our obi-wan’s just like “yeah. i know the feeling--” 

- meanwhile, somewhere on the other side of the galaxy, imagine darth vader/anakin walking past a bunch of stormtroopers/former clone troopers and discovering this comic (lol this is kinda funny but also kinda not, because vader’s going to be like “find this artist and kill them”) 

- but who is the artist? who is the author? do we know? (we do not. at least, not right away.) 

- but anyways, back to obi-wan and comic-anakin: holy shit, okay, it seems like i’m getting a little invested now oh no, but anyways, in the comic, obi-wan still meets others: he meets a comic-padme (who is Not Married to comic anakin but there’s obviously some flirting there), and he meets a comic-ahsoka and a comic-rex, and it’s utterly painful for obi-wan because. because in this world. in this world, things are kind of okay. 

- comic-anakin still doesn’t know where obi-wan’s come from though--comic-anakin doesn’t know that he’s just a comic character. (which makes for Bad Realizations later.) 

- uh now there are other details i want to work out and an Actual Storyline in the process here in this what started as a joke to now what is turning into a brainstorm, but like-- 

- the actual plot? idk probably something to do with comic-anakin slowly realizing that he is. actually. just some grieving author’s fantasy / darth vader in real-time tracking down obi-wan and whoever tf is writing this comic / obi-wan constantly being yanked into this world against his will. 

- angst? so much angst. 

- just thinking about how our obi-wan decides to help comic-anakin.....comic-anakin being like “who are you?” / obi-wan: “me? i’m someone who wants you to have a happy ending. at least in this life. in this world.” / comic-anakin: ??? 

- kind of a bittersweet ending ngl-- 

- comic-anakin learns the truth: everything, from the fact that he. he is but someone’s imagination, to the fact that obi-wan comes from the Real World and that the Anakin Skywalker of the Real World turns into a villain/is the real killer of everyone he’s ever loved. 

- sad. so sad. 

- but ends with comic-anakin giving our obi-wan one last hug. (”i’m sorry that you never got to save your anakin.” / obi-wan trying really, really, really hard not to cry because a part of him doesn’t want to leave this world. this world where everyone’s safe and alive, but he has to go. in the end, he always has to go.) 

- as obi-wan leaves, comic-anakin smiles at him. (”i’m someone who’s rooting for you to have a happy ending.”) 

- anyways. uh. oh god.
