Star Wars but Anakin finds out that the clones have slave chips implanted in their heads

That boy had so many bad experiences and loyalty & love for others was like, both his thing and also the thing that made him break away from the jedi, so like, imagine if he found out that his good friends were not only basically slaves in terms of being pressed into service, but also were literally able to be controlled? He would riot, and when Plo Koon found out that someone did this to his children troops?

Palpatine would not stand a chance against the combined might of Anakin “Protect my friends and family at the cost of the galaxy” Skywalker & General Dad. He would crumple & his empire would collapse before it began.

Just a random thought…

What if the long necks created twin clones as an experiment to minimize costs and to test if it enhances any stats? (It doesn’t, which is why they stopped the experiments at one point. There would be only a few handful twins that made it)

Idk why but I imagine Wolffe and Fox as twins that argue almost every second, but if you talk shit about one of the twins, the other one will go feral and bite you.

They both share the core values of duty, honor and vision (, to see the republic succeed and the vode grow). Which is why both are very protective of their brothers, especially the younger ones. Both are extremely good strategists looking for the best solutions.

Despite their similarities they tend to see almost everything differently. Wolffe concentrates more on what is, while Fox relies more on intuition (, which will later get tainted/ clouded by the dark side thanks to Palps).

This often results in unnecessary fights and arguments.

Yet in a real fight, on a battlefield, they always got each others backs and compliment each other. Wolffe is stronger and more aggressive in combat, while Fox is quicker and more agile. They are two soldiers of one soul. Inseparable, no matter how far away they are from each other. Their hearts beat in unison to a rythm only known to them.

Wolffe: Di'kut!

Fox: Shabuir!

Alpha-17: >:|

Alpha-17: I should cut their tongues out. Why the kriff are they fighting now?

Cody: *sighs* Well neither of them wants to play the role of the loser

Alpha-17: This is creative training. There is no loser... *growls *

Wolffe: I am older. You are the loser!

Fox: You are only older by ten milliseconds! We are from the same tube!

Wolffe: and yet i am not as ugly as you!

Fox: We have the same face, utreekov!

Wolffe: I got prettier eyes

Fox: *blood red eyes, different to the vode's dark eyes, sparkle as he looks down* I am the loser?

Wolffe: *gulps and shifts awkwardly with guilt * N-Nayc. I am…

Fox: Yes you are! *grins sly*

Wolffe: You kriffing shabuir!!!! *tackles Fox to the ground *

Alpha-17: I swear. I am surrounded by idiots

Cody: ???

Alpha-17: Don’t look at me like that, Kote. You are the worst of your batch. Where is my favorite?

Bly: I am here!

Alpha-17: I said my favorite

Ponds: hello?

Alpha-17: …

Rex: What’s going on here?

Alpha-17: There he is!

It’s a relief that we didn’t get footage of Palpatine’s years of grooming Dooku like we did Anakin because watching Palps try to flatter and ingratiate himself to this man who has cut himself off from everyone and everything he knows trying to girlboss his way into running a planet with zero training or ability and is an open festering pit of need? It just sounds like the most pathetic shitshow ever.  

On the other hand, can you imagine how personally annoying that was for Palpatine? Dooku, who is as lonely, self-important, and dramatic as Anakin but with a larger vocabulary and more lung capacity for complaining without stopping? Who hasn’t been told he’s a good boy by Yoda in a decade and now has a captive audience showering him with approval?  Palpatine: *making listening noises for two hours* …you’re SO right, yeah, yeah, that sounds…just… so.. uhh, intelligent Palpatine: *quietly strangling yet another Senate aide* …no, no I’m still here, friend, the comm connection must have blipped, go on! Palpatine: ….woooow, and what did Jenza say to that??

#palps with actual political experience watching Dooku with no experience absolutely run Serenno into the ground and smiling through it #meanwhile Dooku's like :D I'm getting a good grade :) #it just warms my heart to think about how irritating that era must have been for Sheev #sheev palpatine #count dooku

[karniss-bg3]

I would like to hear your thoughts about Larian giving Kar’niss female pedipalps?

Personally I feel like it was just another f you from Lolth

Alright so, this is a complicated and detail-heavy topic. For that reason I’ll be splitting this theory into two sections: Technical Aspects & Lore. There will be a TL;DR at the bottom.

Technical Aspects

Kar’niss is a complex model and I imagine the rigging on him was wild. To my understanding his walking animation was done by hand which makes sense. His torso could be motion captured but the arachnid portions needed to be moved in engine. The best time to witness the separation is if you play music for him as a bard. His torso will bob and sway the same as the rest of the NPCs but his legs stay perfectly stationary. I do get a kick out of the idea of the Larian devs trying to put a tiny motion capture suit on a spider but alas.

I bring this up because the pedipalps add an extra layer of complication that the devs didn’t really need. In fact the concept art for driders doesn’t include them at all which suggests they weren’t part of the original design. A lot changed from concept art to the final version it seems. He used to have extra arms, his legs were longer, and his facial features were more twisted. His skin was also darker but it was either changed because he is a Szarkai or because his skin tone blended too heavily with the color of the chitin.

This would align with a lot of the concept art from D&D. There are many examples of driders without pedipalps, both male and female.

All that said, when it comes to the technical aspects, I have a theory as to why the original and final designs were so vastly different: Time. Kar’niss is one of the more detailed models in the game and even the final version didn’t turn out perfect. If you look closely at where his torso attaches to the spider body you can see some model tearing when he turns at certain angels, as well as what I refer to as “tubing”. I’ve seen this in a few games and it’s where limbs or portions of a body thin out to an impossible degree and they look like a squeezed out tube of toothpaste. This could be due to improper skeleton models, broken seams or rigging but as I don’t work in the industry those are my best guesses.

When you have a strict budget and time limit sometimes a development team has to cut some fat. They didn’t have the time to add in the extra arms, super long limbs or highly detailed face model. Perhaps they looked at the final design and weren’t satisfied with the lack of monster features. Thus, the pedipalps were introduced. But since drider are canonically sexless they designed the palps in such a way that they were made for battle; hence the sharp barb present at the tip of each. They are located face level for most races which make them perfect eye gougers or maybe they use them to subdue prey. Palps are also used to “taste” in most spider species and he could likely use them to discern if prey is edible or not.

“Pedipalps contain sensitive chemical detectors and function as taste and smell organs, supplementing those on the legs”

As for why they are female in design the simplest answer I have is that it was an oversight. If they were already scrambling to finish the model then they were likely going for the path of least resistance. Male pedipalps would’ve required a bit more work and either they didn’t think that much about it or chose the easiest design to model. I know about the Kar’niss is trans theory and I’ll be touching on that in the next section.

Lore

Anyone who has followed me for a while knows I’ve discussed drider lore a lot here so I’ll try to be a bit more brief in this section. Drider are meant to be sexless as Lolth didn’t wish for them to reproduce and rise up against Her. If Larian’s design of the palps were with intent then I believe we’re looking at Jurassic Park situation here. Maybe Lolth’s manner of birth control was to make all spider bodies female regardless of the gender of the drow who is changed. It would also align with the Matriarchal society drow come from as well as Lolth choosing to make driders in “Her image”. So yes, a “fuck you” from Lolth would be accurate in this case. The issue I run into is that Kar’niss is the only drider model in-game and so I have nothing to compare him to. I don’t know if all driders in this universe look the same or if there would’ve been a difference between females and males. It leaves it all up to pure speculation, sad to say.

There is a theory that’s been around for a while now that Kar’niss is transgender. While I think it’s a perfectly fine theory I don’t necessarily agree with it. It’s not because I’d be against him being trans, it’s more that I can’t find enough evidence to support it. For starters if he is trans, is he a trans man or a trans woman? We’ve learned that Kar’niss is a female name according to drow naming conventions and of course his palps suggest a female body. The name can be explained as an act of defiance as it is stated that if a man takes on a womans name they are considered troublemakers. If he is a trans woman, why would he ever allow himself to be misgendered?

There are several NPCs that refer to him as “he” and Kar’niss never once barks at them. It’s not as if he’s shy and in fact he’s proven to have quite the temper. He no longer follows nor worships Lolth and he’s under the protection of the Absolute, a cult that allegedly loves and accepts him. Why hide himself as a trans woman under these conditions? Especially in a game that is very progressive in terms of character creation and pronoun usage.

If he is a trans man then the spider body becomes a moot point. Did he transition before the drider transformation or did Lolth change his sex but slap on the female spider body as a way to mock him? Is that why he was changed? I imagine in a drow society where being a woman is a big deal having one that wanted to become a male, a lesser, would be the talk of the Underdark. I’m sure it’s worse for men who want to be women as that could be seen as “rising above their station”. It’s hard to say as modern day gender identity isn’t really addressed in drow lore.

There is a trans woman in Baldur's Gate 3 that the player meets during Shadowheart’s storyline. It can be easy to miss as her past isn’t revealed unless Shadowheart consumes the noblestalk Tav picks up in the Underdark. This is an excerpt from Nocturne’s journal.

“I am Nocturne. I think as her. I see her when I look in the mirror. I can't remember the last time someone called me by the wrong name - Shadowheart has been swift to gently correct slips of the tongue, and even swifter in challenging those who'd use my forsworn name in malice. I'm lucky to have her as a friend. “

While it seems she had trouble in the beginning, those under Shar came to accept her in time as far as I can tell. With this we can at least say that Larian has no issues adding in trans characters but Kar’niss doesn’t receive this treatment. Another thing to note is that Nocturne is voiced by a trans woman, Abigail Thorn. Where as Kar’niss is voiced by, what I assume to be, a cisgender male. In my mind if Larian would take that much time and care for accuracy wouldn’t they do the same for Kar’niss?

With all of that said if people have the headcanon that Kar’niss is trans that is a-okay, I have no issues with that or any other character! It’s simply a theory I don’t personally subscribe to because the elements don’t line up well enough for me. But hey if they ever expand on his story and he is trans that’d be cool. I don’t know if there is a trans man elsewhere in-game so it’d be nice to see that representation there.

Phew, that was far longer than I anticipated but I hope I covered the topic well enough as it has been debated quite a bit in the fandom. Once again I want to express that I believe folks are allowed to write and draw these characters how they see fit. It’s fantasy fun folks, go wild and enjoy your faves as you desire.

TL;DR: I think the female pedipalps are a technical oversight and were only added in to give Kar’niss a more monstrous appearance or to round out his design. I don’t believe he is trans due to the lack of evidence to support the theory. If Lolth had any bearing on the spider body it was likely to prevent reproduction or in an effort to make driders in her image. Overall, the pedipalps are more up to interpretation than hard evidence.

[stealingpotatoes]

can we get a rundown on the anakin-raises-leia au? i’m totally in love with (read: obsessed with) it but i missed most of the context and i’m so curious!

are they coparenting? was it a parent trap style agreement to split the twins? is it temporary, until the war ends? who decided who gets which twin? did mustafar just never happen?

the answers to ur questions in short are: not really, arguably, absolutely, i did, and no!

in longer, the main thing you need to know for context is it's an Anakin-doesn't-turn-to-the-darkside-but-Palps-still-succeeds AU!

Anakin chooses not to try save Palpatine from the Jedi council and instead goes to Padmé's to angst abt the fact he might be losing her -- only to feel a very solid Other loss in the Force and see the temple up in flames ): he tries to go help but gets his shit kicked enough he leaves when Bail shows up

obi-wan and yoda both return to coruscant, obi-wan shows up to Padmé's to ask her hey do you know where Anakin is??? except Padmé's not there either bc after Sidious made his Big Speech anidala realised Anakin's totally a fugitive so they decided to Leave

i'm not 100% on what happens around here (lbr we all know my focus is the kids) but i'm currently thinking they nearly get caught or smthn, fight happens (??), Obi-wan gets there just in time to help thanks to Dormé snitching -- and Padmé goes into labour w the shock/stress

whatever exactly happens, Obi-Wan is there when they get Padmé to a medical station and the normal rots ending group unite. Padmé gives birth (keeping her will to live) and a question hangs heavy in the air: what are they supposed to do with the twins?

Anidala are too caught up in the joy of being parents to think about it, but they're quickly and forcibly snapped out of that when the Survivors all have a chat like canon. Yoda's the (brave) one to say they need to be apart because their force signatures would be too strong together and in the dire case Palps finds them, he could NOT take both. He's probs initially like they shouldnt even be kept w you two, Anakin's too powerful himself and Padmé you're too visible (while I imagine Bail and Obi-wan know their respective besties and are like king they are NOT gonna take that well)

and theyre right! Padmé, fresh out of like three of the top ten most harrowing experiences of her life, is like stfu u little green bitch im not losing my kids. but after some convincing she sees the need for her to remain in the senate and anakin's need to fight/run. she knows they can't fight the empire effectively together and she knows it's too dangerous to put the twins together. both parents want more than ANYTHING to be with their kids -- but they also don't want their kids growing up in a galaxy eaten by tyranny or being stolen by palps.

so they made the hardest goddamn decision of their lives and each take a twin (probably chosen on "anakin thought the baby'd be a girl/padme thought it'd be a boy" or smthn) and after some time planning their next moves, Padmé and Anakin are forced to go their separate ways to save the galaxy for and with their kids ): knowing the better they fight, the sooner they free the galaxy from the empire's clutches, the sooner they can reunite and be a family

#won't lie i've never actually seen the parent trap. i know of it and ik the premise but ive never seen it loll #this is basically the 'half a fix it but also i accept rots is meant to be a tragedy ig' au lol #skywalkers apart au #the skywalker-amidalas are fighting for FAMILY very fast n furious core of them #thanks for the ask!

[clonemando]

alrigth so plz ignore this if you don't like the prompt-

but imagine the 501st in a Order 66 fix-it AU where the empire never happened and eyeryone lived dealing with Jedi younglings looking at them like they hung the stars. (listen, those kids already idolized Anakin to some extend so there is solid reason to believe that they ALSO idolized these super cool clone guys who are super strong and go on super cool adventures to defend the galaxy)

This was a really fun prompt and I could probably write about this forever but here's a little something that was spawned from your prompt. In this AU Palps is murdered off screen and the Jedi added the Clones to the order under a new branch.

Rex sighed as he carefully made his way through the temple searching for Fives. He knew that letting his ARCs loose for even a minute was asking for trouble but Cody had invited him out and now they were citizens, they had rights and their own bank accounts through the Jedi order, which meant they could buy things. He couldn't say no to drinks and shopping and complaining about their new safe jobs in the Jedi Security Force. Well safer anyway. Nothing would ever be 100% safe when it came to the Jedi.

The point was, now he was sober and needed Fives' to finish his own forms from their last mission so he could do his own work but his ARC was nowhere to be found in the new Clone wing of the temple. He had asked around and been told that a group of younglings had kidnapped Fives and dragged him away to their clan dorms which had led him all over the temple now.

"Trooper Fives is it really true you fought off the Sith lord all by yourself?" A little voice asked excitedly as Rex walked in and Fives grinned.

"I heard he stole the Sith Lord's lightsaber and stabbed him with it so hard the Sith EXPLODED!" Another youngling added and Rex snorted causing them all to look up at him.

"Are you lying to the Jedi cadets Fives?" He asked crossing his arms as all the kids gasped and immediately abandoned their current perches crawling over Fives to come surround Rex.

"You're Captain Rex aren't you? You're the the coolest trooper in all the GAR! We had a whole test about you!" One said making Rex's cheeks burn.

"He's not a Captain anymore dummy! He got promoted to a Commander after Knight Skywalker left the order to marry Senator Amidala after the war ended." Another cut in and Rex raised his hands.

"I'm not either anymore cadets, the war is over. We all retired those positions." He pointed out to hopefully stop the argument from starting.

"Yeah, he's Knight Rex now. When the Order accepted the clones into the ranks, we were given positions just like the ones you use. Do you still want to hear about how we defeated the evil Sith Lord?" Fives added giving Rex a bright grin that made Rex roll his eyes.

"Fives didn't kill the Sith, though he was there. Fox killed the Sith with help from Masters Windu, Kenobi, Koon and many others. However Fox is grumpy and hates being bothered so he made up the story that Fives killed Palpatine to keep from being in the spotlight." Rex told them and a few pouted nearly as hard as Fives was now pouting at him.

"But then why would you tell us that? Wouldn't that be giving away his secret?" One of the younglings asked and Rex nodded.

"You all have grown up together haven't you? Fox is my big brother. I have a job as his little brother to annoy him as much as possible... so I suggest you all go ask him to tell you the true story of that night and tell him that Rex sent you." He said with a wink that made them all giggle and run off to go try to find Fox.

"I'm only not mad at you for stealing my fan club because Fox is going to be livid at you now." Fives said picking himself up and Rex chuckled.

"You have green clan still sending us drawings of you with all of them from when you saved them from that rogue cleaning droid, you don't need another fan club. Now come on Knight Fives... our new positions means you have paperwork that needs to be done." He pointed out and Fives whined but let Rex drag him back toward the Clone quarters.

How much senate gossip do you think Anakin was privy to. Two of his most trusted people were politicians and he spent enough time around them to want to betray his entire religion for them he had to know some dirty secrets

I like to think some of his ‘meetings’ with Palpatine were just straight up gossip sessions bc Palps wanted to prove that he was the only person Anakin should trust bc he noticed this awful behaviour and was renouncing it

Imagine Bail going over to Padmé’s to drop something off and going “oh btw,,,” and spilling the tea on some opposing Senator who did something scandalous and Anakin’s listening in while shirtless and stuffed in the wardrobe like 👀

When confronted about it he’ll be all “Jedi don’t believe in gossip” or whatever but he’s a terrible Jedi and knowing more than other people/being let in on secrets is like crack to him

The senate wasn’t completely dissolved until 0BBY do you think there were times when an officer would hand Darth Vader a report from Senator Whats-His-Face and Vader would pause and think “was that the guy who cheated on his wife with one of the cleaning staff”

[dumpster-fire-deluxe]

Imagine if one of Palpatine's opponents tried to discredit him by causing a scandal but every time it fails it gets more unhinged

Drugging the wine to make Palps appear drunk in public but he uses his Sith whatever to keep a clear head

Tapping his office but Palps leaks them information he wants to have spread, so it ends up serving him

(Hiring someone to) go undercover as an intern and trying to seduce Palpy, but all they get out of it is tea & biscuits, during which they receive life advice that helps them face their childhood wounds and they end up sobbing and thanking him

Making Palps end up in a nightclub somewhere, but he's such a sweet grandpa that all the drunk young people just treat him like their new bestie and it becomes a campaign success which wins him support from younger demographics

I was thinking about what if in RoTS during the one scene where Obi-Wan says another happy landing it wasn't and Palpatine actually died in that crash what could've been?!

Like the chancellor is now dead and in the aftermath they are going through his office or something and stumble across his very evil Sith plans

This is obviously some sorta crack fic but IMAGINE!!!

ah I love the AUs where for some reason Palpatine dies on the Invisible Hand

(favorite I’ve seen I think is Anakin drops him down the elevator because it’s obi-wan or Palpatine and that’s not really a hard choice)

But you know what I love the idea of Palpatine dying in the crash like was anyone wearing seatbelts?? Palps gets thrown through the window, he gets crushed by a bit of the ship, etc etc

Palpatine AND obi-wan get knocked out and anakin accidentally uses Palpatine’s life energy to save obi-wan because he’s willing to do anything and he accidentally drains Palps, but it’s like this dark mass of Force so obi-wan wakes up a lil bit evil like a feral cat, hissing and spitting and everyone is like anakin what did you do!!

and anakin is like !! I don’t know!!!

but eventually they figure out it was all Palpatine’s dark side powers and that he was the sith and hopefully obi-wan’s body will process all that dark energy and be back to normal but until then he’s like the Jedis’ pet sith, treated like an evil and grouchy house cat

#asks #sithy obi-wan: give me all your attention and talk with me and give me hugs #anakin: really ?? :D #sithy obi-wan: no i changed my mind don’t touch me >:( #sithy obi-wan: wait come back >:( #sithy Obi-wan (lounging on anakin & hissing at Padmé): don’t you dare #Padmé: anakin is this the new normal im not sure this is sustainable for us #anakin (sorta into it): um idk maybe ? he’s working through it

a collection of funny brainstorming doodles

first one is thinking a little bit about kkariko writing/symbology. atm, i'm focusing on rrikrik's cultural background, as kkariko are generally pretty diverse and live widespread on their home planet, which has resulted in a huge spectrum of cultural diversity. as for writing specifically, i was thinking that kkariko would probably find it best to use their "palps" to perform delicate dexterious tasks such as writing as they would have be more flexible than the exoskeleton coverings on their feet. for this script, i was thinking about a kkariko wrapping their palps in a soaked cloth and making long swooping marks on the page with them.

also thinking about the way kkariko and ki move. kkariko have four pairs of legs and for balance it would be better if they walked on two. however, i think they can run on all four pairs and stand up on one pair when threatening. their big long tail probably prevents them toppling over. as for ki... i haven't done as much thought. bipedal species are kinda tough because there's always the fear of just defaulting to human gait. i wanted ki to have super long arms and "fingers" though, so decided to give them a transitional gait for now. also look at soh's cute little tail. the off-model soh is really bad tho. but it shows the size comparision between the twos.

kkariko coloration. they have two main pigments on their bodies - one blue/gray and one pink. rika (their home planet) is very metal-rich and the metals which kkariko eat go to their shells, which take on different tones dependent on their diet. i was thinking about how these shell colors would interact with their base pigmentation as well as the effects of oxidization, as rika also has an oxygen rich atmosphere. i imagine that shells showing off rare metals and low levels of oxidization are a huge status symbol. for rrikrik, their diet is very varied in metals and they don't tend to have the luxury of staying inside, so their shell is patchy and covered in rust.

#alien species #oc #xenobiology #speculative biology #alien biology #kkariko tag #ki tag #sci fi #now you know that rrikrik doesnt take care of their shell and thats why its covered in patterns #i had a much better drawing of rrikrik soh AND a human but i havent finished it yet

someone who claims to communicate with the dead in order to discover what is going to happen in the future

so. dead people, huh? familiar. (yes I remember the mandalorian, but still … there were a lot of closed “caskets” aside from the main one which would likely be Palps’ clone? Could those be clones that were used for experimenting on the project and potentially failed?)

let’s assume Dee wasn’t exaggerating and genuinely meant in the article that Tech had actually sacrificed himself — I can’t imagine a universe in which Hemlock located Tech’s body, an advanced, genetically enhanced clone trooper, and did not use him for his bizarre experimentations.

If Tech is genuinely dead and now the show really comes up with a plot regarding “dead people”, I don’t believe it’ll be the last we see of Tech. He may not be the character we’ve grown to know and love, but I can’t imagine him not being present either.

That and the fact that NO ONE in the show has mentioned the huge elephant in the room, merely loosely referred to it. Does Crosshair even know Tech’s dead? Did Omega address it?

TBB S3E3:

THE ASSASSIN. THE ASSASSIN. SIR, ARE YOU TECH.

Shittt, Hemlock saw them taking Omega's DNA, they can't get rid of it now.

Ooh, the Palpatine episode.

Not Nala Se begging Omega to escape 😭

This is definitely the escape episde, right? Right?? That will be so embarrassing with Palpatine there lmfao.

"Forget your assignments and get some rest." Ayy, perfect.

Ian McDiarmid will never not be iconic as Palpatine. All these years, and he's still just as good as the first time he played him.

OMEGA, WHY WOULD YOU KICK THAT POOR LITTLE MOUSE DROID 😭

Crosshair: Out of all the bad habits she had to inherit, why was it improvisation?

Lmaoo, he locked up the guards.

Oof, right, extra stormtroopers out and about.

Noooo, his hands shaking are a result of the experiments 😭

Imagine stealing the Emperor's shuttle. Now that would be fucking hilarious. But the crashed one is definitely smarter.

Kinda scary that Palpatine was working on Project Necromancer this early on.

Rip hound droid 2.0

Emerie, go away.

Well, at least he only stunned her.

Facility is definitely not secure, Palps.

You know, somehow I thought he'd stay longer.

Those ray shields so close together like the ones in TPM. 👀

All things considered, Crosshair is taking this well.

What if. What if Batcher dies protecting Cross and Omega from the other lurcas?

Hemlock knows. He fucking knows.

Ayyy, klaxons my beloved. Except for when they're waking me up in the morning.

Well, that ain't a lurca. I think I know what killed the stormtroops in episode one. At least it'll distract the lurcas for a while.

How has Emerie not scanned Omega's DNA yet? It's been like, hours.

Something, something, Crosshair being the one with hope when Omega thinks all is lost.

They way they fondly talked about Tech making her memorize all the plans. Of course he'd have her memorize them. 😭 I miss him.

BATCHER! Ayyy, nice timing.

Oooh, the way that commando's visor went dark when his head hit the wall. Nice touch.

Those stormtroopers really just stopped and stood there right in front of the canons lmao. Clones would never.

Ayyy, they're taking Batcher with 'em.

Kinda knew Omega's DNA would be the one they needed. That sucks.

The sudden fear in Hemlock's voice when he realized they actually really shouldn't kill Omega 😂

I think I know where Fennec comes in play, now. Hemlock's gonna hire here, isn't he? And Bane. And who knows who else.

Concepts in case Disney randomly decides to put me in charge of a new Disney Infinity Star Wars line

Okay so obviously in terms of additional playable characters we need CLONES. The most logical options here are Rex, Cody, and the Bad Batch, including Omega. But what if we would go one step further and also add Fives? I dunno I just think he’s earned it ;-; And maybe Rebels-Era Wolffe and Gregor, cause old clones can be just as fierce

Speaking of Rebels era: it’s a deep disgrace that Hera isn’t a playable character yet, so of course she should be first choice. Additional characters that deserve to get a figure are Kallus and Thrawn, because both of them are simply awesome and both visually and in play appealing enough to get their own figures. The Grand Inquisitor could also be added

Additional Jedi: Mace Windu, Plo Koon, Shaak Ti and Kit Fisto

From the live action series and Rogue One: Din Djarin, Cassion Andor, Jyn Erso, Fennec Shand. I will literally die if Grogu becomes a playable character, imagine the cuteness overload

DROIDS DESERVE TO BE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS TOO!!! Obviously C-3PO and R2-D2, but I’d like to see BB-8, Chopper and K-2S0 as well

I don’t really have anyone from the sequel era because I’ve only seen those movies once, but I would vote for Klaud if only for the meme potential of recreating live slug reaction moments

Additional Clone Wars era characters: Cad Bane, Hondo, Dooku, Ventress, Padmé (in a travel outfit), Grievous, perhaps Bail Organa? Senators deserve more love and I dunno it just seems hilarious to me that you perform his special move and it’s just him pulling out a soapbox and holding an oration

Chancellor Palpatine as a playable character lol. Imagine playing as Palps and getting killed by Grievous, what a twist that would be

Lando Calrissian as a playable character, because he’s awesome and come on he was pretty much the only POC in the original trilogy, if anyone deserves to be a playable character it’s him

Playsets: a The Mandalorian/The Book Of Boba Fett playset, a Rebels playset, a Bad Batch playset. And of course additional ones for the trilogies and The Clone Wars are welcome as well

Circular power discs that change appearance: a disc for Chancellor Friendpatine that turns him into the Emperor, one for Echo that gives him back his ARC armour, one for Padmé that turns her into Queen Amidala, one for Kallus that gives him his Rebellion outfit, one for Ahsoka that turns her into her (post-)Rebels era self including the white lightsabers, one for Obi-Wan that turns him into his older Episode IV version. And maybe one for Din that removes his helmet 👀👀👀

Purple hexagonal power discs: featuring locations such as Coruscant, Tatooine, Hoth, Dagobah, Kamino, Scarif, and Lothal

Orange hexagonal power discs: featuring an AT-AT, an Imperial speeder bike, a Star Destroyer, a Separatist tank, the Ghost, etc.

All your AUs are like dopamine and crack straight to the brain that make the imagination go wheeeeeee! So I'm blaming you for this latest thought bubble and handing it entirely over to you should you feel inspired:

Naboo has very convoluted laws to essentially allow child labour considering the age of their politicians, and the wider Republic legislation has a headache of a computerised system to integrate those laws more or less automatically within the wider galactic system when approved. Like, laws on Naboos are recognised by the Republic as applying on Naboo, but they can also apply on the wider Republic if given permission by the Chancellor. Palps takes advantage of one about children legally allowed to do paperwork for their family because Enrichment! Education! Learning Politics and Civic Duty! (As long as they are "kids" and not "full active mini-adults" like Padmé as Queen) And that's how the automated system permits Fox to do all the Chancellor's paperwork: he's been adopted Fox Palpatine, and as a Nabooan 12yo he is Learning and Helping his Family.

Fox finds this out under layers of obfuscating code.

He also finds out that Palps manipulation to get this all autorised under the radar grandfathered in another law Padmé had put in to allow family reunions and automatic citizenship on the Freedom Trail.

Fox takes all this info, recognises the GAR and Guard as his siblings, goes to the public and sues the hell out of Palps for child-abuse, abandonement, endangerement, murder, etc. You have millions of little Palpatines you are putting on the front lines every day and ordering decommissionings and that is NOT permitted in the Nabooan law. Also you owe childcare monies.

It's a bad day to be named Sheev, it's an excellent day for Bail and Padmé to get the Chancellor out of office or at least suspended. The only hiccup is that whoever wants to be the SO of the caffeine crazy wreck that is Fox will have to wait at least another 2 years or get in trouble because-he-has-to-legally-be-a-kid-until-they-all-get-citizenship-and-a-paycheck

Thats all i have and it's going to bounce around my head for ages 😅

neat
