“My father was good,’ Leia thought, but in her mind she pictured Bail Organa, not Darth Vader. Thinking of Bail made her think of Breha, her mother. Of her home. Of everything she lost.”
-The Princess and the Scoundrel

Boba, the most poetic bitch in the west: Love is an open trap door, and Djarin, I’m a rancor waiting at the bottom to tear you apart.
Din, a Very Literal Autistic: …FENNEC HES THREATENING ME-
Boba: Wait-
Fennec: *cackling while watching Din grab Grogu and run out the door*
Boba: …not as good at that as I used to be :/
Fennec: Please keep doing what you’re doing it’s SO entertaining to me.

Obi-Wan reached out, then hesitated. He felt a strong urge not to wake the boy, to let him sleep like this forever, to forever anticipate a great adventure, forever dream of personal triumph and joy. This feeling held too much sentiment and weakness to be allowed, but he allowed it nevertheless. This must be how a father feels, looking down on his son, worried about an uncertain future, Obi-Wan thought. I would hate to see him fail. But I would hate far more to lose this boy. I would almost rather freeze time here, and freeze myself with it, than face that.

“She’d half stumbled to his side and gingerly wrapped an arm around him, led him toward the maintenance turbolift. Somehow she’d carried his weight.
“Do you think,” he’d asked, “anybody’s listening?”
He hadn’t been able to raise an arm, to point skyward after her transmission, but she’d seemed to understand.
“I do,” she’d said, soft and—to his ears—earnest. “Someone’s out there.””
—Rogue One Novelisation by Alexander Freed

Someone was sobbing. After a moment, Anakin realized oh. It’s me. And then, his knees were buckling and he was heading for the ground. Obi-Wan caught him.
“It’s alright, I’ve got you.” He let Obi-Wan take his full weight because he was too tired not to.

You loved her. You will always love her. You could never will her death. Never. But you remember... You remember all of it. You remember the dragon that you brought Vader forth from your heart to slay. You remember the cold venom in Vader’s blood. You remember the furnace of Vader’s fury, and the black hatred of seizing her throat to silence her lying mouth- And there is one blazing moment in which you understand that there was no dragon. That there was no Vader. That there was only you. Anakin Skywalker. That it was all you. Is you. Only you. You did it. You killed her. You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself... It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the Sith- Because now your self is all you ever will have.

Force Ghost Anakin: *sitting with Din and FG Obi-Wan and Grogu in Boba’s palace while they discuss Grogu’s training going forward*
Boba: *comes in, pauses, is completely unsurprised to see any of this, sits next to Din* Hey, Skywalker. I got a really fucked up question.
Force Ghost Obi-Wan: 👁️👄👁️
Force Ghost Anakin: Okay?
Boba: It’s like. Super messed up.
Force Ghost Anakin: I hope you realize I spend about twenty years with Tag and Bink, it’s likely I’ve already heard it.
Boba: Awesome. So, what does lava feel like?
Force Ghost Anakin: :/
Din: ??????
Grogu: 👁️👄👁️
Force Ghost Obi-Wan: 👁️👄👁️
Boba: Cause, see, like, the sarlacc was… let’s say… tingly. Felt like my skin was sparkly. I never wanted to ask when you were Vader, it’s just now that I know how sparkly acid is, I’m wondering if Lava is as soft as it looks.
Force Ghost Anakin: …I was right, Tag and Bink have asked me that before. I threw them out the airlock, idk how they survived that one. Um, I was already on fire /from/ the lava by the time it actually touched me cause it was rising, so I know what fire feels like, but that’s not as impressive. Feels like… like fire…
Boba: Cool. I thought that might be the case. I guess I’ll have to suffer.
Din: …Navarro was a lava type planet…
Everyone: ?????
Din: Yeah. I met a guy who’s touched lava. He said it was like a non-Newtonian fluid. But. He can’t repeat the experiment. So. Um, an unchallenged conclusion?
Boba: …oh my god… this is why we keep you around. You got great stories.
Din: Thanks.
