Another thing I love about The Clone Wars is that it actually shows Obi-Wan’s darker side at times.
Warden Agruss is undeniably a bastard - even so, the way Obi-Wan smiles when he turns to Rex is definitely something that doesn’t exactly fit the Jedi Code.
Also, this? Damn. Damnnnnn. We know Obi-Wan is one of the most powerful Jedi in the Order, yet we rarely see him use the Force in a way like this. It’s far more aggressive than the abilities we’ve seen him using.
And here, just for a moment, we see Obi-Wan giving way to his rage. You can see it in his movements - they’re wider, more aggressive, less balanced than the traditional Soresu we’re used to seeing. Maul mentions it explicitly: “Your rage has unbalanced you. That is not the Jedi way, is it?”
In conclusion, damn.
Headcanon that when the clone troopers were made into stormtroopers after Order 66, they purposefully missed their shots because it was the most they could do to fight against the influence of the chips, which is what gave stormtroopers the reputation of being bad shots.
Mandalorian version of Cinderella where the Cinderella figure is a little foundling who was taken in by a noble clan but only for appearances, they're actually mean to them and don't bother training and outfitting them the way they absolutely morally should, but they're plucky and persistent and learn everything they can by observing and practising alone, and then one day there's an announcement of a grand fighting tournament in honour of the new Mandalore, and everyone's very excited and sprucing up their armour for the occasion and the foundling asks if maybe they could go and they get cruelly laughed at and told that of course they can't go, they have no family and therefore they have no armour
so the foundling is left behind while they all go off to have fun
but THEN the Fairy Armourer appears and says "You SHALL go to the tournament!"
and like
picks up a bucket and it magically becomes a beskar helmet
completely outfits them with transformed household objects and sends them on their way with the standard time limit warning, in this case until sunset
they go to the tournament and it is wonderful and they WIN FIGHTS and catch the Mandalore's eye and get invited up to spar with them!
and it's a Very Romantic Fight but just as they've got the Mandalore pinned down they realise the golden light of sunset is shining off their beskar and they have to scram
so they're running off and they trip and lose a shoe and just keep going and that's all the Mandalore finds
and fortunately the Mandalore was a bounty hunter before ascending the throne so they quickly hunt down the mysterious and beautiful stranger without having to ask a lot of randoms to try on a shoe, and they live happily ever after!
All right folks! Chapter 5 of What’s Done is Done, “Reunion” is up now!
I just had to draw this scene, I couldn’t get it out of my head.
ok i had to post this sepperately too, based on this post by @keldabekush
i like that mando knows many languages and is respectful to other people but also he does kill people for money. he has a strong moral compass but no one really knows where its pointing
Day 2 of @commandercodyweek is here! The theme is Origins, and I picked the prompt of learning why Cody has a jetpack instead of a pauldron or kama.
[Image ID: A three panel comic of Commander Cody and Alpha-17 from Star Wars. The first panel is Cody examining an ARC pauldron in 212th gold, glancing at 17 and asking, “You’ve worked with Kenobi, 17 – what will I need?” Over Cody’s shoulder, arms crossed, Alpha replies, “The patience of a kriffing saint.”
The second panel is a screencap of Obi-Wan Kenobi hurling himself out a window from Attack of the Clones. Alpha-17 is drawn in the corner, recalling that incident with a haunted look.
The third panel, Alpha adds, “And a jet pack. Good luck, Kote.” He is holding a jet pack in his hands. Cody is turned to give him a concerned frown, lowering the pauldron in his own hands. End ID.]
I feel like we always see parents who are 100% super supportive allies, or parents who are horrible and cruel. At least in media or in the most popular stories. But I feel like that ignores just how many people have parents where you just have no idea? And even if you think they’ll accept you on a surface level, you don’t know if they have a breaking point. Especially if you need to go on hrt, or request they change the way they think about and refer to you. Sure they’re liberal and all, or centrists, or “tolerant”, but how far does that stretch?
I think most closeted LGBT+ kids live like this, wading around in the grey area. I’d like it of more of us knew that was normal, I’d like if we talked about it more.
