In yet another edition of "I don't ship Obikin, but..."

Guys, that moment when they were holding hands while engaging in a full-on lightsaber fight? Like...actually holding hands. While beating each other with lightsabers. I just can't even with these two. Who put that in the fight choreography?

I don't have to ship it to acknowledge that Obikin shippers ain't wrong. These two have some kind of relationship, and whatever it is, it isn't normal.

Kamilah Sayeed Headcanons

Bloodbound’s back, which means Kamilah’s back, which means I’m back on my bullshit about Ptolemaic Egypt. So here are my random ideas about Kamilah’s backstory.

Her father is Ptolemy of Cyprus. This is how I came to this conclusion.

Her cousin is Cleopatra VII Philopator. Cousin is a broad ass term, but I think they’re first cousins.

Cleopatra’s father is Ptolemy XII Auletes.

His brother is Ptolemy of Cyprus who I couldn’t find that much information on aside from the fact that he was King of Cyprus for around 20 years.

More Facts About Kamilah

Her brother Lysimachus was named after Lysimachus, a Macedonian officer close to Alexander the Great who eventually marries into the Ptolemaic Dynasty.

She was not born Kamilah. 99% of the women in the Ptolemy family were named Berenice, Arsinoe, or Cleopatra. Kamilah was born Berenice (Βερενικη) which as far as I can tell means “bringing victory.” I don’t know Greek so I could be completely wrong though.

She probably changed her name to Kamilah around the time the Rashidun Caliphate showed up in Egypt in the 600s.

Putting it All Together

She and her twin brother are born to Ptolemy of Cyprus.

The twins leave Cyrpus at a very young age after the death of their father due to shenanigans involving Publius Clodius Pulcher (a motherfucker who deserves a post of his own) and pirates.

They are raised in the household of Ptolemy XII and have to deal with the clusterfuck of events that eventually leads to Cleopatra VII taking the throne.

Lysimachus and Kamilah co-rule Khent-abt, one of the 42 nomes or territories of Egypt.

Lysimachus is killed in a conflict involving other nomarchs and their territories, leaving Kamilah as sole ruler. 

Shenanigans involving Julius Ceaser and later Marc Antony and Octavian lead to the portrait fragment flashback where Kamilah is Turned by Gaius. If I can do math correctly, Kamilah is in her late thirties or early forties when she’s Turned.

You know the moment when I knew Obi-Wan had managed to heal? It wasn't the iconic soresu fighting stance (which was epic) or the sheer power of him blasting out of a pit of rocks and levitating hunks of stone all around him (which was just... whoa!). It wasn't even when Obi-Wan knelt beside Reva and prioritized showing compassion above all else (which was beautiful).

No, it was that moment with Leia when she asks him what he is going to do now, and he says, "I don't know. What do you think I should do?" And Leia, this adorable child, says, "I think you should sleep." And Obi-Wan laughs. Just laughs. Full-throated, unrestrained laughter. (see post here for beautiful gifs of this moment)

Obi-Wan has always been a character with a distinct sense of humor: sarcastic quips and dry wit and a wry grin. He's always using humor, no matter what the situation. He's all, "who is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him"? and "why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic lifeform?" and "you were right about one thing, master; the negotiations were short," and "not to worry, we're still flying half a ship." He's the master of sass and even in A New Hope, he basically has an amused grin on his face more than 50% of the time. But when he actually laughs, we usually get a subdued chuckle out of him, not this full laughter.

So it was the moment when it was crystal clear that he'd come back into the light, where there is joy and hope and laughter even in the darkest times. His connection to the light is obvious in the way he fights, in the way he hugs Leia and Bail with no restraint, in the new peace that settles on his shoulders, and most of all in his ability to finally laugh again, without a hint of bitterness in that laugh. It's been a long road for him and the galaxy is still a mess. But even now, Obi-Wan Kenobi stands in the light and he can laugh.

That's my Obi-Wan Kenobi. Right there. That's his whole character, from A New Hope through the prequels and now in this show.

In the darkness and when everything seems bleak, there is always light.

I know the entire SW fandom is freaking out about baby Leia and prickly, tired old man Obi-Wan. And for good reason! But can we talk about Kumail Nanjiani's character, Haja? Because he has now won the award for fastest journey from "I loathe this character and want to see him bloody on the floor" to "I love him and will protect him with my life."

We first meet Haja and he's a low-life con-man. Worse, he is taking everything that the Jedi represented and everything that Obi-Wan stood for and using it for his own selfish, petty purposes. I loathed him on sight. It's a personal affront to Obi-Wan, but also to those of us as fans who have admired the ideals of the Jedi. I wanted Obi-Wan to beat his ass and was hoping Haja would get killed off quickly. How dare he make a mockery of the Jedi ideals of compassion and self-sacrifice, and twist it into greedy self-serving pettiness. How fucking dare he do that and force Obi-Wan, who has lost everything, to see that his entire life as a Jedi is viewed as nothing more than a joke and a means of manipulation? Yeah, Obi-Wan, you can beat this guy to a pulp, and I won't judge you one bit for it.

But then, by the end of the episode.... it's a complete 180 degree turnaround. He shows up and says he will help Obi-Wan. He says, implicitly, that he respects and believes in Obi-Wan. We are finally seeing that there are people in the SW universe who saw the Jedi as heroes. Haja is a fan, like us. And so his attempts at playing "fake Jedi" for his cons are cast in a different light. How many of us as kids used to pretend we were Jedi and wish for Jedi powers? How many of us (like Ewan McGregor, who has been "one of us" all along) have waved our hand in front of an automatic door just for the private moment of pretending that we used the Force? Suddenly, Haja's fakery is transformed from an affront to something relatable and almost sweet.

And then he drops the deal-closing line: "you're not alone, Obi-Wan."

And that's it. I have now adopted Haja and I will love him forever. He is proof that there are people, who must have watched the Jedi from a distance for years, who still remember the Jedi and still respect them. Not everyone in the SW universe is a Han Solo, who knows nothing about the Jedi and thinks they are fake. The Jedi helped millions of people, they were the public face of the clone wars. They can't have just been forgotten so quickly. That's always bothered me. It never made sense that the Jedi were so prominent, and 20 years later they are totally forgotten or regarded as some ancient myth. And now we see that they were never forgotten. People like Han Solo and Rey might be clueless. Others might have bought into Imperial propaganda. But Haja and people like him have never forgotten; they have tried to keep the ideals and the legend of the Jedi alive in what little ways they can.

And now Haja offers Obi-Wan the respect and faith that he needs just when he needs it. And even more than that, he calls him Obi-Wan. Not "Master" (as the doomed young Jedi from the previous episode did). Not "Kenobi," as most of the inquisitors do. Not even "General Kenobi," which would make sense for anyone who had followed the clone wars (and is also how Leia refers to Obi-Wan in her infamous message from Episode IV). No, Haja calls him Obi-Wan. It's personal to him. He uses his first name, the same way people with celebrities who they follow or admire. Haja knows who Obi-Wan is, who he was, and in using his first name, he treats him like a person rather than a figurehead or a representative of the Jedi Order. And even though Obi-Wan isn't willing to accept it yet, Haja offers what comfort he can: "you're not alone, Obi-Wan."

Well-played, SW team. I've never gone from loathing to loving a character so quickly in my life.

Now if you pull the rug out from under me and turn Haja into a double-agent or if (as is more likely) you kill him off, I will not be responsible for my actions!

I just love Bail and Breha Organa, and I would watch an entire series with them. I was so scared we wouldn't see them again, and then that last scene on Alderaan... It was perfect. The way Obi-Wan walked out of the ship looking more like himself than he has in literal years. And Bail could see it instantly. He saw it with one look, and unlike the last time they met, when he had to beg Obi-Wan for his help and tell Obi-Wan some hard truths, Bail just looked at Obi-Wan and reached out to hug his old friend with so much warmth and not a second's hesitation. He's always respected and cared for Obi-Wan, even in Part I of this series, when Obi-Wan was at his lowest point. And now that Obi-Wan stands in front of him, with his old grin and confidence firmly in place, Bail reaches out instantly in welcome and just... hugs him. It's so warm and Obi-Wan melts into it for a second.

And Breha... Oh, Breha! She reaches out to Obi-Wan, a man she probably only knows from Bail's description and a holocall, and offers him as much warmth as she knows he would feel comfortable with. Not to mention Breha's relationship with Leia! They are perfect! Breha is fond and affectionate, even when exasperated with Leia's antics. And just like Brail, she has this glee in nurturing Leia's rebellious streak. Breha's conspiratorial smile with Leia when she says "I approve" of the holster--so beautiful!

Leia has so much of Anakin and Padme in her... but Bail and Breha are there too. They are the parents who taught her to be the best version of herself and who loved her wholeheartedly. No one could have loved Leia more.

I just love the Organa family, y'all. We don't deserve them, but I'm so grateful for every second we got to see of them.

I need a fixit fic where Tala lives and she continues working with the path while seving as the network's only connection to Obi-Wan, periodically visiting him on Tatooine to check in and get advice on strategy and pass on intel. I need her to respect that he stays on Tatooine while he tries to help her and the path in any way he can from a distance. And they have this bittersweet relationship that continues for years until eventually he receives word that she died rescuing some Force-sensitive children. And he's sad, but he also knows she has saved and inspired so many people.

Look... I ship it, okay? I never ship Obi-Wan with anyone. But I ship it so hard.

Please someone write this fic. Don't make me write it myself. Somebody... anybody? I'll take any variety on it. I just want Obi-Wan/Tala fic so I can cry over it. 😭

Me all the way through the first two episodes of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series: Obi-Wan, you know, I love you, but you really are a bit rusty at this fighting stuff. Come on, my man, we know you can do better than that. You're a badass! You just gotta get back in the groove. You can do it!

Me at the end of episode two, jaw on the floor: wait, wait, wait... Obi-Wan hasn't used the Force in TEN YEARS! Like... at all? Has he even TOUCHED the Force?! OMG, this was all tired, scrappy, force-less normal guy Obi-Wan for two whole episodes. Like... what the hell? Obi-Wan, you idiot, Qui-Gon can't talk to you if you cut yourself off from the Force! Oh, that poor man... he cut himself off from the Force, from the thing that has been the most important foundation in his life.

I was just thinking yesterday about how the two major "twists" in the Obi-Wan Kenobi show so far are actually... super obvious (and I don't mean that in a bad way). But SW fans have taken so much for granted, and we always (ever since the original trilogy) have had more knowledge than the characters. We knew that Anakin would fall and the Empire would rise and all of that. So we assumed that we knew how everything was going to play out. And those assumptions meant that we didn't see the obvious twists heading our way... which is why they worked.

(spoilers through the fifth episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi)

Twist 1: Obi-Wan doesn't know Anakin survived Mustafar and that Vader is still out there.

This really should be obvious. But SW fans (myself included) are dense. We have always made assumptions based on what we knew, forgetting how little we actually knew. I think this was part of why so many people disliked the prequels. They has made assumptions about how those events would play out, and then they didn't play out according to the fans' preconceived assumptions.

But in this case... we all knew that Anakin survived Mustafar, so we assumed that Obi-Wan knew that as well. But of course he didn't know that! How could he have known that? There was no reason to think that Anakin could have survived those injuries! As far as Obi-Wan knew, Anakin and Padme were both dead; Luke and Leia were orphans, and Yoda and Obi-Wan wanted to hide them from Palpatine. And remembering that puts everything in a different perspective. It's not as foolish to leave Luke with his biological family because Palpatine wouldn't likely look there for a child he didn't know existed. And as far as we know, Palpatine knows little to nothing about Owen Lars. So... no problem, here! It's a reasonable plan to leave an orphan with his family in the Outer Rim. And by the time Obi-Wan knows that Anakin/Vader is alive, Luke has been with his family for ten years. It would be irresponsible to take him away from his family now.

I was a little thrown off because in Legends, Obi-Wan found out that Vader survived something like a few months after Order 66. He saw Imperial propaganda in a bar and realized that the dark figure who is called Vader is obviously Anakin (or something along those lines... it's been years since I read that book obviously). So I assumed that Obi-Wan knew by now... but there was no support for that assumption, and this makes more sense. So as shocking as this twist was, it makes complete sense and it's perfect.

Twist 2: Reva isn't loyal to Vader... she's plotting to kill him because she knows he is Anakin, the man who killed her Jedi family and betrayed them all.

So the set-up with the younglings in the temple, at the beginning of the first episode, made it easy to deduce that Reva was a Jedi youngling who somehow survived Order 66. And once you've made that connection, it should be simple to deduce that Reva knows Anakin is Vader because she saw Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker when she was a child. And it should be obvious that when she saw Anakin in the temple that day, she would think Anakin was in the temple to save her. We literally have another child who says exactly this in Episode III. The very first images we saw of Order 66 back in the film included a Jedi child who was hiding from clones and then came out of hiding when he saw Anakin. We have this little child asking Anakin for help, looking to him as a teacher and a leader. "Master Skywalker, what do we do?" This tiny child wants Anakin to tell them how to save themselves, and instead, Vader murders him. Of course any child who saw Anakin as a savior and then saw him murder every person she'd known would end up feeling betrayed. Anakin did betray Reva and every other Jedi, children and adults, who lived in the temple. He should have protected those children and he didn't.

And we know that Reva feels like she is "owed" something and that she thinks protecting one's family is the most important thing--she tells Owen as much in the first episode, the same episode where we saw her as a child with her Jedi teacher and her Jedi siblings. Of course she knows Anakin is Vader. And of course she blames him for the murder of everyone she's ever known! How was this not obvious?! But the setup leads us to follow all of our own assumptions that inquisitors are just wanna-be Sith apprentices and they must all be competing for Vader's attention. Because they are bad and that's what Dark Siders are like. We were deceived by our own assumptions until suddenly the twist literally "twists" those assumptions into a slightly different shape that makes perfect sense.

This is exactly how plot twists should work. They should be unexpected, but make complete sense after they are revealed.

And for the record, a bunch of the so-called "plot holes" or "continuity errors" the perpetually angry SW fans are complaining about are also just "twists" that defy fandom assumptions that have been made...without evidence. We assumed that Obi-Wan and Vader never met between the duel on Mustafar and the duel in A New Hope. We assumed Leia knew nothing about Obi-Wan and had never met him. We assumed Obi-Wan never left Tatooine and that he'd spent two whole decades faithfully communing with the Force and learning from Qui-Gon. But dude... NONE OF THOSE THINGS WERE EVER STATED! People inferred, people read between the lines, people interpreted this line or that line to imply this. But all of those assumptions... just assumptions.

And some of them don't actually make a lot of sense, except that we've accepted them for so long that we forgot they don't make tons of narrative sense. Obi-Wan wasn't totally convinced that Anakin was beyond redemption in Episode III. But he's 200% convinced that Anakin can't be saved, that Vader can't be saved, and that Vader and Anakin aren't even the same person anymore, by the time we get to Episodes IV and V. That's a big shift in perspective with no explanation for how Obi-Wan arrived at that conclusion. We all assumed that Leia trusted Obi-Wan implicitly because Bail Organa told her to, which... fair. But that assumption doesn't preclude her having other reasons to trust Obi-Wan (and reasons that explain why she doesn't even pause for a second when Luke uses the name "Ben Kenobi" instead of "Obi-Wan Kenobi"). We all assumed that Qui-Gon could talk to Obi-Wan immediately in order to teach him the "mysteries of Force ghost-ness." But honestly, that never made sense and felt tacked on at the end of Episode III. How did Qui-Gon learn these secrets? His body didn't disappear the way Yoda's and Obi-Wan's did when they "passed on." They disappeared and then could appear as ghosts. But Qui-Gon? Nope! And Yoda never explained how Obi-Wan was supposed to "train with Qui-Gon," at least not that we saw. We just assumed it would happen easily. But showing that it is not easy, that Obi-Wan isn't sure how to connect to Qui-Gon, and that he has lost faith in the Force makes so much more sense! And honestly, whatever this ghost-training involves, it should be difficult! Otherwise every single Jedi would have the ability to be a Force ghost, whereas that was clearly not the norm in the Jedi Order. It clearly wasn't normal to hear the voice of your dead master. Obi-Wan didn't think it was possible. Yoda didn't know it was possible. We are all used to it because we've seen Luke interact with the ghosts of his dead teachers since 1977! So we assumed, yeah, that's a thing that Jedi do. But it isn't normally. And it must be difficult. And of course Obi-Wan hasn't mastered that when he's only halfway through his exile.

So all I'm saying here is... the twists are totally logical and well executed. Most of these "continuity errors" aren't really errors, and SW fans are just clowning themselves because we've all accepted our own headcanons as canon for twenty to forty years, and it's a long-standing tradition for SW fans to freak the fuck out when they find out their assumptions/headcanons were never true and they were just making shit up all the time (which is not to say that George Lucas and now Disney are not also making shit up as they go along... but really, fandom headcanons are not more valid... except when it comes to the sequel trilogy... in that case, everyone's headcanons, including JJ Abrams, are all equally valid. Because let's be honest... what even was that fever dream except the crazy headcanon of two fans who didn't talk to each other enough to get their stories straight?).

Just when I thought Vader's sheer menace couldn't make me gasp and yell "HOLY SHIT" at my laptop any more than I already have with this show... he Force pulls a whole kriffing ship. I mean... a SHIP!

Vader has now made me jump twice, literally gasp out loud multiple times, and say "holy shit, holy shit, holy shit" more times than I thought possible.

He's scarier than he's ever been on film. He's more menacing than he's ever been on film. And he's more unhinged and powerful than he's ever been on film.

Whatever else this show is.. it is Star Wars at peak levels of Vader villainy

[khentkawes]

That scene in part iii of Obi-Wan Kenobi, where Obi-Wan and Vader meet for the first time--where Obi-Wan asks "what have you become?" and Vader says, "I am what you made me"-- was so perfect, and on the one hand, you can see that Anakin is literally scarred from the duel on Mustafar, and yes... Obi-Wan did that. His response makes sense. Anakin absolutely holds Obi-Wan responsible for his injuries and this horrific life he must be living right now. But (and this is my major takeaway)...

Dammit, Anakin! Just once in your life can you take responsibility for just one of your own actions! Just one!

You made choices. Lots of choices! And most of them were bad choices! You had other choices available. You could have stayed at the temple like Master Windu told you to, or you could have helped Windu kill Palpatine instead of maiming Windu. You could have told Yoda or Obi-Wan that your visions/dreams were of Padme's death specifically. You could have fessed up to your marriage and left the order if necessary (instead of always trying to have your cake and eat it too). You could have said, "no, I won't murder Jedi children." You could have backed down, fled, walked away, instead of fighting Obi-Wan on Mustafar. You could have walked away or just let Obi-Wan leave the planet instead of attempting that flip-over-his-head-and-slash-him-in-half move you tried on Obi-Wan when he had the higher ground. He told you not to try it. What did you expect him to do? Stand there and let you kill him the same way he killed Maul in episode one? (or "mortally wounded Maul, I suppose). Because that is what you were trying to do. What did you think would happen?! You could have done something else in that moment... anything else!

Did Obi-Wan maim you and leave you to die? Yeah. Was that the right choice? Sure as hell doesn't look like it was right now. But one bad choice from Obi-Wan doesn't mean that all of your choices--your choices, Anakin--didn't matter. Your choices turned you into this. It's time to take some responsibility for at least one of those dumbass choices. You wanted it all... and that turned you into this monster. Time to face the consequences of your shitty choices. You were a traumatized child, yes. But you made these choices that turned you into a monster, a walking nightmare.

You did this, Anakin. You choose to become this, when at any given point, you could have turned away.

Obi-Wan is right to ask, "What have you become?" What indeed?

Okay, but seeing Obi-Wan Kenobi take out a handful fo stormtroopers like it was nothing and then, when the hallway is clear, spin the lightsaber around his hand before bringing it back to guard... perfect. I cheered!

But also... that move is so hot.

He really has no business being that hot. My teenage crush on Obi-Wan Kenobi is back full force (pun intended).

I know that Indira Varma said that they decided not to make Tala a love interest for Obi-Wan. And I think that was completely the correct call! It's better for the writing. Less of a cliche. Allows them both to focus on their respective "missions." So I agree, no romance was the correct writing choice to tell the best story in this series.

But fanfic writers... please please tell me y'all are working on some Obi-Wan/Tala fics. I need it! I know what I just said, but I want good writing in the show and the whole gamut of possible and self indulgent writing in my fanfic. Which means bring on the Obi-Wan/Tala fics!

Also the Obi-Wan/Haja fics. Because I could still go for that, and I'm bummed that Haja hasn't turned up since part 3.

You know what the real problem is with adulthood? I was raised to believe that life was episodic television. You know, the case-of-the-week/mission-of-the-week style of tv from the 90s and nearly 2000s. Every week in my childhood, the Enterprise encountered a new alien race or a new problem and then at the end of the day, Data solved the problem or Picard negotiated a treaty with the aliens, or Dr. Crusher found a cure for the alien diseease... and then they went home to the ship and flew off to their next destination. Or SG-1 went on an off-world mission, got into trouble, and then Sam Carter and/or Daniel Jackson got them out of trouble, the problem was resolved and they went home. Or Sherlock (substitute any other mystery-solving detective/doctor/fake-psychic/what have you) faces a mystery and after hyjinks and twists, the mystery is solved, all is resolved, and the mystery-solvers go home to Bakers-street or wherever.

No one told me that life is not episodic tv. The new problem doesn't politely wait until you've resolved the previous problem. There's always multiple problems that just keep piling up! And more often than not, issues are never resolved! We just get more issues on top of issues.

Why can't my life be episodic? I want my issues to politely resolve one at a time. Why are all the problems coming at me all at once?!

Obi-Wan Kenobi part V

It's amazing how the last scene of this episode made me terrified for a character who I know beyond a doubt will live through five more movies after this (or at least 3... I'm still in denial about everything beyond that). Like... obviously he'll be fine but I'm still nervous nonetheless. Guess that's what the vicious unhinged walking nightmare of Vader has done to me.
