#or is it funnier if they're strongly paralleled but have never actually run into eachother

[malaismere]

because i do nothing but talk about aus im never gonna actually write, star wars + vox machina

they’re all in the rebellion, vex+vax are a senator’s bastard kids who ran off to fight the empire, and percy’s an engineer, and pike’s a rebellion doctor who recruited grog and scanlan who are on the same vibe as han and chewie

and keyleth? is a jedi.

well, keyleth isn’t a jedi, keyeth is a youngling who somehow managed to survive the whole murder thing and ended up going home. so she’s been living with the ashari in the middle of nowhere where they all at least kind of viewed her as a chosen one who’d take down the empire. she doesn’t have a lightsaber but she has a strong connection through the force to other life and uses it to fight and maybe also has force lightning? its what she deserves. 

the main plot is their mission: free whitestone from its empire appointed overseers, the briarwoods, to get a crucial hold on the valuable mining materials there, hopefully before the empire has a chance to give them back up. 

of course, it ends up getting spilled that they assumed power by killing percy’s parents and that’s lowkey why hes in the rebellion (this either comes out pre-mission or after percy has sneaked aboard to join them even though he should be staying at base)

the briarwoods aren’t just imps tho. they serve a rival sith - darth vecna - and have gained access to an old jedi turned sith temple underneath the city for eeevil.

which may or may not be tied into the last secret, which is, percy is totally force sensitive, none of them find out until they’re down at the temple, and he hates every single bit of it. 

like. you know percy’s whole hating magic thing? but how he uses it anyways? that’s percy and being a jedi, except keyleth is teaching him how to meditate and they end up bonding and going even more besties than they are in canon but also he complains every minute of it.

#critical role #critical role au #star wars au #au blogging #look keyleth as a feral force user just vibes #she is one with the forest and all within #and also shoots murder lightning #other force-users: oh i will use my cool sword and fight with it #keyleth: nah i'm just going to use primal powers and Fuck Everything Up #its. what. she. deserves. #i am very uncertain whether this is supposed to be alongside canon #or in place of canon #i feel scanlan+grog would have a rivalry with han+chewie #or is it funnier if they're strongly paralleled but have never actually run into eachother? #like. everyone else sees the comparisons but they meet and are like ??? #yet another jedi to be in the rebellion and not train luke #at the very least i think kiki would be keeping the jedi thing lowkey #and percy ain't talking about it #i would say vax+vex are luke+leia but like #i would never split them up #and they work better as both being kind of leia
