the real reason Jedi wear very large robes is because they are so touch starved (ᶜᵘᶻ ᵗʰᵉʸ ʷᵒⁿᵗ ᶠᵘᶜᵏⁱⁿᵍ ʰᵘᵍ ᵉᵃᶜʰ ᵒᵗʰᵉʳ) that they constantly need comfort blankets to cope with extensive stress and trauma.
jedi are just constant blanket burritos

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.
Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.
Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.

Jedi-era Dooku is just such a fairy tale trope Disney princess. His evil father hates him and tries to feed him to the wolves because he's born with magic powers. He gets adopted by a cartoon troll wizard. He lives as a servant (of democracy) but is secretly royalty. He has a cast of little animal friends. Okay, his animal friends are convors and dragons and Rael and Qui-Gon, but they love him

k'atinii bal k'edeemi // resist and bite
***
an absolutely GIGANTIC thank you to @amikoroyaiart for taking on this commission of my Mando OC Ayala Ger'Mana and my Imperial OC Commodore Corran Raandall a few months back. I remain absolutely in love with it. It is perfect and exactly how I pictured the scene.
I was originally going to wait to post this art when I finally got around to writing the fic that this scene comes from, but life is so incredibly busy and stressful right now. I have no idea when I'll have the time to write it, and I fear that waiting until things calm down might lead to it never being posted.
Bug me about the fic every few weeks or so.
Anyway, please see bonus happy Ayala art also by @amikoroyaiart 💖

wish i knew what to do with this helpless frustration i feel every time i see people vilify the jedi for their way of life when the person doing the vilification doesn't even understand them properly. it's one thing to criticize and dislike them if you have an accurate picture of who they were and what they're trying to do vs. hating them because you straight up don't understand them at all 😭

How exactly were the separatists canonically right??
I can’t believe I had to read that in a comment section.
The CIS is canonically not good. Which we see in literally the entire prequels. They’re lead by a Sith Lord, who is apprentice to an even bigger and badder Sith Lord, who is playing both sides of the war. Just because of that scene between Dooku and Obi-Wan people seem to think that Dooku was good and right. He's still actively working for Palpatine, you guys realize that right?? He's still corrupted, greedy for more power and has fallen prey to the dark side. He still wants to rise to the top and have things be his way, as all Sith do. He's not good, he’s trying to have Obi-Wan join him and when that fails, he wants to kill him. And he’s certainly not trying to help and save people. He has an entire droid army that he wants to use to attack the people of the republic. We get a glimpse of the plans for the Death Star during aotc. He doesn’t care wether people end up enslaved or dead. He's one of the villains in this story. Why are people taking the villains word for it?? Like what??
He has Grievous as one of his generals and hopefully we can all agree that he’s bad as well. Or is that up for debate, too? The clones and the chips? Working with Jango Fett? Separatists and Zygerria? Ventress? Ring any bells?
Nowhere in canon does it seem like the separatists are doing the right thing. Not once do the movies even give off that vibe.
The separatists are not the actual good guys. Which is what canon is very obviously telling us.
The republic and the senate started becoming more and more corrupt (funny how that starts happening while Palpatine is senator and slowly climbing up the ranks), but that doesn’t mean the republic was big bad. They were a democracy. And it was working very well for a really long time, prior to certain Sith Lords getting involved.
I don’t think people understand the severity of the dark side and of Palpatine's machinations and also his ability to use whatever situation he comes across in his favor. But that’s certainly not the Jedi's fault. These peaceful and mindful space monks were doing their best and doing what’s right regarding whatever situation was thrown at them. You can blame the senate and the politicians and the trade federation for becoming greedy and corrupt. But funny how I only ever hear people blaming the Jedi for things that were out of their control and most of the time not even in their playing field, and not the people who carry actual responsibilities within the senate and work in politics.
The Jedi were pretty much the only ones who stayed away from corruption and greed and did what’s right. Had some of the politicians done the same and took a page out of the Jedi's book, maybe things could have ended less horrendously. But then again that’s not the story GL wanted to tell and point out.
All I’m saying is, can we just point fingers at the actual people at fault? The corrupted and greedy people? The canonically portrayed as evil people? The ones that killed innocent people? Who orchestrated a genocide? Would that be too much to ask?

It’s interesting how much blame people will lay and how varying it is. How opposite. The Jedi didn’t give him special treatment because of his power/status. The Jedi didn’t treat him normal like one of their own. Obi-Wan was too critical. Obi-Wan didn’t pay enough attention to him. The Jedi didn’t allow Anakin to have friends/acquaintances outside of the Order. The Jedi allowed him to be friends with Palpatine. Obi-Wan didn’t save Anakin on Mustafar. Obi-Wan didn’t kill Anakin on Mustafar. Literally everywhere one turns, not only does the blame lay at someone else’s feet aside from Anakin Skywalker, but apparently there is no right answer either. Even if you could place any blame on someone else for his choices, either way it’s a two headed snake. It’s never been enough for people.
Star Wars is a lot of things. It’s about a lot of things. Family, hope, compassion, forgiveness, redemption, tragedy, war, peace, the goodness in people. But all in all, it’s about choices.
Star Wars is about choices. People make choices in these stories and they aren’t generally forced into any of them. It’s about agency, the ability to make those choices and owning up to them. And guess what? Anakin made the choices he did without anyone forcing him to do them. He made those choices knowing exactly what he was doing and exactly how wrong it was.
And the point is, that people allow him to make those choices. They can’t make them for him. He has to make those choices. And he doesn’t want to.
Anakin doesn’t want to make choices.
But in the end, of every episode, every movie, every defining moment, he makes a choice anyways. And until the end, none of them come out the way he wants them too.
Because he wants both, he wants it all. He doesn’t want to choose.

did you just create an AU in the tags that I'm obsessed with again? *surprised pikachu face* I just can't get it out of my head that yes, Anakin is now being seen with a random senator but eventually obi-wan just starts crashing those public outings and now everyone is wondering if the senator is cheating on anakin with obi-wan or something like that
(in reference to these tags about some sort of "bearding" au:
#but also thinking about it#i can see a gffa au where anakin has to have a beard#because there are just so many rumors that obikin are togethre#and people are up in arms about it because he was his teacher!!! and the age difference!!!! power dynamics!!!!#(obikin are not together)#so the council asks anakin to be seen on the arm of some woman or another to prove that he isn't into obi-wan#but secretly anakin is VERY into obi-wan#and secretly obi-wan is really sort of bothered by anakin being seen on some senator's arm#(not padmé though sorry)#though obi-wan doesn't quite know why#(he does but he's like 12 steps from admitting it)#obikin#did i create an au in the tags yeah. yeah i did.#people forget that's how the couples counseling au started lol )
nooo omg obi-wan starts crashing the get-togethers even the "romantic opera" dates and he talks the entire time and anakin, who is in love with obi-wan and only agreed to this bearding thing because he feels guilty that his feelings for obi-wan may jeopardize the man's public standing, can't help but turn to listen to everything and a space pap snags a photo of anakin contorting his body unnaturally to tilt around this random senator to listen to Obi-Wan talk.
and later when asked about the pictures, anakin is like 'um he was talking about the jedi code....'
but everyone is making up wild theories about threesomes and infidelity and someone asks obi-wan at a press conference to address the rumors that he has invited himself into bed with his former padawan and the senator and immediately obi-wan is like 'hah! like i'd share him if i had him!' and then immediately (x2) is like 'wait sorry i meant to say someone like him' but the damage is done.

I have concluded that the difference between "original" Star Wars (before 1999 and the prequels) and "new" Star Wars (everything since Disney scrapped the Expanded Universe) is angst.
When I was devouring every Star Wars book I could get my hands on in the late 90s, Star Wars was fun. I particularly liked the Corellian Trilogy, the X-Wing books, and the Young Jedi Knights series. Yes, characters died or got their arms cut off or whatever, but most of the books were fun adventures, and Han and Leia were happily married with three kids. I was never worried that any of my favorite characters wouldn't survive the story.
Now, everything I see for Star Wars seems to be sad and angsty. :( Don't get me wrong, it looks like incredibly well-done angst! I was impressed just by the gifs I saw of Andor, and a friend keeps putting Anakin meta on my dash that goes in detail about the tragedy of his story and how it affected Padme, Obi-Wan, Ashoka, etc. But I am an emotional sponge who doesn't need more sadness in my life, so gifs and meta are about as deep as I'm willing to get into the new universe.
I can't imagine I'm the first to make this observation and I guess I don't really have a point, but I'm fascinated by how different my '90s Star Wars fandom is/was compared to what I see now on tumblr. It's effectively a completely different story now, with only the original trilogy in common between the two. Even the medium is different; I can't fathom what it would have been like if we'd had a Star Wars TV show back then, let alone multiple interconnected ones. (The Ewoks and Droids cartoons don't count.) But I do wish Han and Leia still got a (close to) happily ever after.
