Star Wars: How The Prequel Trilogy Mirrored And Rhymed The Original

May you fight the good fight!

(Arcane x Star Wars)

Polycule but it’s just two people in a romantic relationship with each other and their third who’s pretty obviously aroace but also somehow so deeply intertwined in their lives that it’d just be wrong to not count them as involved. Is this anything.

To any suicidal followers I may have: This is a sign to not kill yourself. You are loved and the world is special because you are in it. Keep holding on.

-PLEASE REBLOG THIS YOU MAYBE ARE SAVING SOMEONES LIFE

You are special and amazing , If you need to talk or some help send me a dm and I will talk to you.

❤️💛💚💙💜🖤🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

I know so many people are hurting right now. I know so many people are struggling with all sorts of aspects of emotional onslaught S8 left them with. I get it. I do, and I am so sorry you are struggling right now. I wish I could speak some magical words or take some magical actions that would resolve your pain, but sadly I can’t.

All I can offer you are these words. Words which I’ve taken so deeply to heart.

For my~~~

Allurance Shippers: You loved this ship and created this ship before it was canon. You can still love and create this ship. It’s OK to be devastated. It’s OK to feel slighted and betrayed, but what’s not OK is stopping your creations. Turn your pain into beauty. Keep shipping. Keep creating. Nothing stopped you before, nothing should stop you now.

Sheith Shippers: I love you all. I know you feel betrayed at the moment. So many events led you to believe that Sheith could really be canon, you were misguided and disserviced. Your anger and pain is justified, but do not stop creating. You shipped Sheith with no canon proof of its existence. You grasped onto small moments and turned them into beautiful stories and art. The lack of canon Sheith prior to S8 did not stop you from creating before, it should not stop you now.

Allura Stans: I am so sorry for your loss. We’ve all felt this so deeply, but canon does not direct your creations. Keep writing. Keep drawing. Keep Allura alive through your creations. It’s the least she deserves. Don’t give up on her.

Shiro Stans: Shiro has suffered since the beginning. If you feel his ending was stifled and dishonest, it’s ok. Shiro has always deserved better. The most wonderful thing is that you can create a better world for him. Do not stop creating him. He can live happily, in whatever way you feel he best deserves, through your work.

And to everyone else that is feeling betrayed, misguided or is hurting in any way from S8, for whatever reason. Just remember to be safe. Remember to take care of yourself both mentally and physically. Remember to not give up. Remember to keep creating. Our fandom does not need to be filled with hate and anguish right now. We may not be able to change canon, but we can create whatever we want.

And always, always remember: Patience Yields Focus.

I love you all.

Keep the Jedi Out of It

With input from @atagotiak (Tia), @gelpenss (Gel), and @thisarenotarealblog (Doc).

Standard initial premise: Clones take over the Republic after Fox kills Palpatine.

Fun AU Twist: in order to keep people from trying to fuck over the Jedi, and also as a backup because they trust the Jedi to at least try to save them after the initial hubbub goes down, and also as a bit of a vindication for those who don't like their Jedi... the clones arrest all the Jedi and just keep them in the brigs etc. until they figure out how to break the news to the galaxy that Palpatine was a bigger problem than previously anticipated.

"Why did the Jedi not stop you?" "Great question! We arrested them." "...all of them?" "Yes." "On what grounds?" "On 'they would have stopped us from killing the Chancellor' grounds."

"The Jedi couldn't stop you from arresting them?" "We just kind of told them 'here, hold this' and then put the force cuffs on. It was really easy, actually, they trust us way too much, it's kinda scary. A few of them passed out without the Force to keep them awake and the medics got pissed they hadn't been sleeping." "...you're saying you did this for their own good?" "No, we did it so we could kill the Chancellor."

Tia:

Anakin would def be upset. What would the other jedi be like? Mostly exasperated? I imagine a few would be like “well I guess I’m stuck here. I’m gonna have a nap”

Doc:

Obiwan finds a corner he likes and conks out in 5 minutes with the power of long experience

Gel:

At least one or more of the Jedi is like. WEIRDLY zen about it. Like “yeah if he arrested me there’s DEFINITELY a good reason and they’ll all tell me eventually”

Like the reason O66 worked in large part was that the Jedi trusted the clones, which means that you could easily argue that without even murder-of-said-Jedi on the mind, it would be even easier to just. Trick them.

Rex was uncomfortable about arresting Anakin for "Palpatine's his friend and he'll hate me" reasons so Kix just arrested both of them himself. They don't tell Anakin what's going on even when he grills Rex in their shared cell. Anakin's under the impression this is a 'you haven't been taking care of yourself' medic arrest.

Ahsoka had to share a cell with Yularen and they played cards because Ahsoka wanted to work on her Sabacc-without-Force-Cheating skills.

Some of the arrested Jedi have tea parties with the clones who arrested them. Mostly I'm imagining this as being Mundi. Bacara is off handling Various Things and the shinies put in place to guard Ki-Adi while the Coruscant problem is handled just sit down and have some tea with him while he teaches them Jedi philosophy, because Mundi strikes me as very "grandpa tells you stories to try and relate to the youth and he's not great at it but he sure is trying to be a good grandpa, and he's a bit out of the loop but he's putting in the effort, he got you some of those Pokey-mans you like for the holidays and everything."

"It's been three days, are you going to tell me why this was all necessary?" "Chancellor's a Sith Lord." "WHAT?" "It's fine, Fox killed him, but we couldn't have the Jedi stopping us, or like... getting accused of organizing it. So we just arrested, uh... everyone over the age of three?"

Tia:

Im just imagining Depa in a cell, sometime before the assassination is done: Grey: yeah so we’re killing Palpatine, for uh. Reasons. Depa: well I feel like I should disapprove, but….

Gel:

Anakin is spinning conspiracies about mind control because why else would they do this and the clones are just like. 😬“well yes but actually no”

Cody: No hard feelings but we do need Fox to do the plan. Chancellor's evil. Obi-Wan, not at all convincingly, especially after the explanation: Oh no... the Chancellor... whatever shall I do... Cody: ...do I even need to put you in cuffs? Obi-Wan: For the sake of protocol, yes.

Doc:

Ponds: we're going to kill the chancellor Mace, who got pressured to give the chancellor access to a 10-year old: legally, I cannot endorse this.

"We arrested the Jedi." "...and they LET you?" "Yeah, they assumed it was for a plan, which it was, but they assumed it was 'we're being watched by Separatists, play along' reasons and not, you know, killing the Chancellor."

Bly: General Secura, you're under arrest. Aayla: Wh--On what charges? Bly: Uh.... it's a sex thing? Aayla: ..............sure, why not.

Monnk: General Fisto, you're under arrest. Kit: Why? Monnk: ....reasons. Kit: ........yeah, okay.

Nobody even bothers to tell Shaak Ti, she's so far away that she can't do anything and really they just. Don't tell her she has a long-distance call coming in.

The only Jedi that don't just get arrested with zero fuss are the ones that are in active battle zones far enough away that it's not worth the deaths that would follow, Anakin, and 'I don't trust clones' types like Krell.

And the ones in-Temple, which is admittedly a lot, but we're going to ignore that and say the clones just triggered a reactive shut-down protocol that had metal going over windows and stuff.

Yes!!!! Yes to all of this!!!!!❤️💛💚💙🖤 Rvepited Sa!!!!

So I just now got the chance to finish s8 and I haven’t fully had time to process it but honestly my initial reaction is that I don’t hate it?? Like yeah I’m sad the show ended and I 100% cried over Allura but I’m not like mad? Which is probably a super controversial thing but idk I just wasn’t mad about it. Sad definitely but I think her sacrifice was done really well and I’m at peace with it? And I really do love the open ending with room for the fans to make what they want. So nope not mad.

I think I pretty much feel that way too, friend! I 100% understand why people are upset and disappointed, and I am open to literally any interpretation of this show. You are all valid!!! I can see the faults and I’m not going to say it was anything groundbreaking, but I enjoyed watching it. Sad but okay, is what I’m gonna go with. I’ve always been a forward-facing kind of person so I think I’d just rather take what I was given and expand on it in my own way to make it work for me than to get angry about it. I do feel like this show suffered from trying to please everyone and in the end pleased no one, so an open ending was honestly more than I could hope for. I’ve already got so many ideas. And nothing can debunk them now, the future is OURS, ahahahaha.
