Okay but Haja is such a good twist.
Because we're set up with: ah, here is the comic relief bad guy. He's faking being a Jedi, he's scamming people. Oh ho he had the Jedi right in front of him he could have been rich!
But nope. Yes he's taking credits, but he is helping the mother and child get off world.
And he doesn't set up Obi-Wan when he tells him about a ship.
He literally goes in front of an Inquisitor playing Jedi.
Usually characters like this are set up as cowards, but he's not.
In fact when Obi-Wan holds him up I'm pretty sure the reason he helps isn't the blaster on his chest but Obi-Wan telling him there's a girl who's kidnapped.
He's using the Jedi as a symbol of hope to draw people to him because he does seem to want to help, but he's not selfless he probably needs credits to run his operation.
The Show has shown us Obi-Wan is at rock bottom and the universe has kicked him in the face, but he keeps meeting people who are so brave, who help him inadvertently like the girl who gives him spice, and overtly like Haja.
Obi-Wan can't be Obi-Wan Kenobi for the universe right now.
So others have to be Obi-Wan Kenobi. Others have to be brave and stick out their necks and help people.
Like yes, we had our sad Obi-Wan in the desert moment. Loved that.
Now we're getting Obi-Wan with hope restored.
But to do that he has to let go of his attachment to the past. To his grief and guilt and Anakin.
if mor was a girls girl she'd have yanked Cassian back and scolded him for bothering Nesta so much. idc if they're worst enemies or whatever but if I see a girl getting harassed by some guy after she verbally said to leave her alone, ESPECIALLY if it was my guy friend, I'd be putting his ass in his place for bothering her like ew why are u letting this man harass a girl when u were the subject of male harassment. girl ur an embarrassment to feminism and solidarity
I'm thinking about the Jedi and Anakin, like you do, and it just cracks me up so much to see any variation of 'they always looked at him with suspicion, like they were waiting for him to mess up.'
Sure, in TPM they're unsure about him because Qui-Gon is dropping a nine year old with a lot of previous issues onto their laps and telling them they really should give him a laser sword and train him in the ways of the supernatural universe bending empathic powers that let you blow things up with your mind and that go haywire if you're emotionally unbalanced. Nobody's thrilled about the prospect.
But after that, honestly, the only Jedi who can ever be said to look at Anakin somewhat like that is Mace, which can be forgiven because 1) the man is Stressed and the people he doesn't expect to mess up are far and few in between, and 2) he and Anakin still have a rather cordial relationship overall, even if they aren't bffs.
But Luminara? Constantly smiles at Anakin. Jocasta? Same. Aayla? Calls him Master Skywalker (respectful, considering they're the same rank in the Order, if maybe not in the Army), is very caring and nice to him. Shaak Ti? Never changes that soft expression of hers. Adi? Big smirk when he shows off, like "aw, would you look at this kid." Plo? You can't even tell how he looks at people. Kit? Biggest grin. Even Piell? He's a grumpy bastard but he's not judgmental. Ki-Adi? Yeah, I guess it does happen once in a while - but he does it with Yoda as well they think he might be under attack from the Dark Side, so really it's him having a suspicious nature, not him targeting Anakin specifically. Seriously, Obi-Wan is more critical of Anakin than Ki-Adi is, and Obi-Wan has an Anakin-shaped blind spot in his soul.
Speaking of Obi-Wan - when he leaves for Utapau in RotS, he has the sparkly eyes of someone so overflowing with love that the gravitational pull of his affection for Anakin is warping the very light around them both.
Jedi freaking like Anakin is what I'm saying.
Just a small cafe on Corustant that sells bubble tea, but this place stand out from the others by sticker like"support the boys in white" or "not just soldiers" on the door. Also they always have "special offers" . These drinks are made to match the colors of different battalions or legions. Usually the drinks are white and the balls have different colors, but they add some syrup to make it taste more original. Sometimes they draw some symbol of these boys with the syrup. Wolfpack symbol was the hardest.
Part of the price of the drinks goes to the clone support organizations.
There is also a very decent discount for all boys in white.
In addition, there is an option when someone buys a drink in advance. It has a name but I don't remember it. But it's like
someone buys 5 some drinks, but seller just written it down and late five boys in white can get these 5 drinks free. The first time it happened, the boys were nearly to crying.
There, as in Starbucks, they write the name of the buyer on the cup. Clones are happy of that. The moment when boys hear their name is especially significant, because it comfirms they really have name one more time .
It is that rare moment when they can feel themselves like just people, not soldiers.
Nesta being treated like a feral, uncontrollable thing when:
a) Azriel attacks Eris at the high lord meeting and tortures people for a living
b) Feyre attacks Beron and - inadvertently - the lady of autumn at the meeting
c) Cassian is banned from a whole court and slaughtered a whole village when he was angry
d) Rhys worked with a tyrant for 50 years
e) Mor and Amren had a fight that destroyed a mountain
Windu: ‘Anakin is cute’ ‘Anakin is an amazing Jedi’ blah blah
Windu: Anakin is a whore and that’s it.
“Ahsoka Tano. Youngest of three, parents long gone, raised mostly by her brothers. Last year of high school, varsity lacrosse, uh… no priors, just some traffic violations.”
“Any idea what she was doing near the crime scene?”
“Victim was a friend of hers, looks like.”
“Can we question her?”
“She refuses to talk without one of her brothers. She’s a minor, so it’s probably easier to wait on them.”
“How old?”
“The younger is mid-twenties, but I doubt he’s coming. Looks like he’s on the other side of the country, has toddlers, that sort of thing. The elder is about an hour and a half away, teaches biology at a community college. He is also twenty-one years her senior, so I’m guessing he’s more of a parent than a sibling, and he’s the one she called. Said he’s on his way.”
“Bit of a gap, there. Adopted, or were the parents just taking their time, do you think?”
“Um… anyway, I heard he’s bringing his ex-wife. A lawyer, apparently.”
“Still on good enough terms? Fancy that. Well, see if you can set up a rapport before the brother arrives. I’ll see what we have on the lawyer.”
“She’s a partner at Kryze & Organa, sir. She’s Kryze.”
“…well, I’ll do what I can to prepare.”
elucien never had a bad track "mine. you are mine and i am yours. mate" BANGER. "his name is lucien" SLAPS. "don't just leave her on the damned floor" SEXY. and don't even get me STARTED on "i can hear your heart beating through the stone. can you hear mine?"
Just a ton of fandom things Star Wars, ACOTAR, HP, Marauders, LOTR, anything I might be into at the moment
