Anakin looking up at future Ahsoka: Ah, okay no I get it now. I see what you were talking about
Obi-Wan: So you'll be sorry for rubbing it in my face that you're taller than me?
Anakin, with a wide grin: What? No! Now there are TWO of us taller than you!
Obi-Wan: I should have joined Dooku when he asked
YOU'RE RIGHT screw the time travel au tho, this can happen in every fix-it au ever as well
more peak tier anakin behavior (and also an unfathomably incredible choice by stover to include) is anakin not noticing that palpatine was trying to imply obi-wan was fucking his wife, because he assumed that if obi-wan WAS fucking a senator, it would be a man, and it's enough to rouse him from his exhausted, annoyed haze into sitting up, because they need to go find this man Right Now. brilliant. iconic. 10/10 content and prose. god bless this book
