HIS TIME IS COMING
Didn’t they deliver (those forces that control your destiny) The certainty of dust?
To be absolutely honest, I wish that the whole Mandalore arc in Season Two of the Clone Wars had revealed that Obi-Wan and Satine were brother and sister, not old flames. It would make a lot more sense to me–given how they interact–and it would explain Satine’s sense of betrayal a lot better, especially given how important family is on Mandalore.
@sanerontheinside, @jhaernyl, @senator-organa, @the-last-hair-bender please discuss?
aaaah…. k - before I discuss anything, pls explain - ‘sense of betrayal’?
@doctorwithafryingpan Mandalorian!Obi-Wan is my lifeblood and my everything, please tell me more?
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who has barest memories of his parents. They gave him to the Temple when he was three. He remembers a girl with golden hair, alpine blue eyes and a smile that makes the stars shine.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who’s first response to a problem is HIT IT UNTIL IT GIVES UP! And is also his second and third. The eighth is to talk about it. (Qui-Gon tries to change that up. It only sort of works)
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who is savage and beautiful and deadly with any weapon because genetics can’t be controlled by Jedi training.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who still becomes a padawan through the same means, except he knows he’s from Mandalore and it’s in his blood to be fierce and strong and to never, ever give up.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who combines his fiery temper, the learned diplomacy of the Order and Qui-Gon with his devastating fighting skills, and is an absolute nightmare to anyone who tries to fight him.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who meets Satine at 16 and remembers.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who goes through his trials earlier because he’s fire and water and unstoppable.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who speaks with his sister who feels like she should know him but doesn’t because he’s everything she doesn’t want Mandalore to be anymore. He’s a bona fide warrior and he’s proud of it.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who goes with Qui-Gon to Naboo as a special favour for his Master. Who doesn’t let Qui-Gon over-rule or disregard him. Who throws himself out the fucking ship on Tatooine and wails on Maul for attacking his Master. Who meets Anakin and sees the same traits in Anakin as he does in himself and recognises that they’re not faults, but strengths. Who quietly adopts Anakin as brother. And not so quietly tells anyone who looks at Anakin with suspicion that he’ll fight them.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who does not go down against Maul and leaves Qui-Gon in the dust. Who battles this Sith to a standstill and keeps fucking fighting. Who takes cuts and slices and burns and kicks and just. Keeps. On. coming.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who still loses his Master but promises Anakin will be trained. Either as a Jedi or as a Mandalorian. Who flatly refuses to let the Order turn him aside. Who trains Anakin and treats him like a brother. Who introduces him to Satine who loves him.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan finding the Clone Army and literally. Losing. It. Because these are his brothers. Millions of them. Made for war. But still his brothers.
Mandalorian!Obi-Wan who the Clones adore because he is the Mandalore to them. He is their leader. And not even the fucking control chips can take that from them.
Obi-Wan isn’t a ‘Jedi’ to them. He isn’t a ‘threat’ no matter what Order Palpatine sets up.
To them, Obi-Wan is brother.
And they will kill for a brother. They will die for a brother.
“That wizard’s just a crazy old man.“
I gave you a specific order not to come!
okay I have to reblog this again b/c I just noticed in the second gif
Obi-Wan is talking to Cody, doin’ general stuff, both of ‘em standing there at attention like srs soldier types, and then
his head just fuckin’ whips around
he’s just like, “I sense that my former apprentice is about to get dragged, I must go forth and fulfill my destiny”
Actual Disney Princess Obi-Wan Kenobi
#this makes me so happy #every time obi wan befriends another animal in tcw I gain ten years on my life span #somewhere along the years mace had to sit down abruptly and think to himself #I can’t believe he’s WORSE than qui gon #‘qui gon and his pathetic life forms’ obi wan smiles to himself #blithely ignoring the trail of besotted toothy creatures and disreputable characters behind him #qui gon’s sparkly force ghost is so proud #listen I love obi wan and this one panel neatly sums up why #a man who makes many mistakes and keeps his inner self tucked away tightly #but a man with a lot of affection to give and a deep deep core of compassion #he may be dutiful to his bones but there’s love there #my favorite disney princess (via penultimatepanic)
Holy shit
Oh…damn…
.. My heart.
this proves that if you take away all the horrible dialogue, awkwardness, bad editing, and repulsive graphics from the prequels, they could have really been something worthwhile
Been alone since you were twenty-one, You haven’t laughed since January. (insp.)
In Episode 3, when Obi-Wan and Yoda had to fight their way into the Temple, I wonder if it bothered Obi-Wan to kill the clones.
Think about it.
These were guys from the 501st: who knows how many campaigns he’s served alongside them? How did he push that thought away? This is directly before he discovers the true depths of Anakin’s descent into darkness, was he scared for him even as he cut down clone after clone?
Did he recognize the differences in the paint jobs, see familiar faces as helmets flew off, remember jokes they’d told as he beheaded this one, remember the time that one saved his life even as the life is draining from those signature golden eyes?
Did their faces haunt him in the quiet of the desert, in the loneliness of the Wastes? Did he see their faces 5, 10, and 20 years after their deaths?
I think he did.
Thank you, you evil being.
Now I’m thinking about Obi-wan having nightmares, seeing their faces, and hearing their voices. Seeing the happy times, and then flashing to their bloody corpses.
Going about his daily business, and seeing something that reminds him of RexHardcaseEchoFivesJesseKix. His throat closes up and he struggles to breathe.
Not being able to stomach food, because all he can hear is various troopers getting excited at food, no matter how bad it is, because at least it isn’t rations.
Sitting in the (mos eisley) cantina, and staring at the glass in front of him, thinking of 79s and how the troopers would meet up to celebratemournhavefun.
A helmet comes off and he knows that face, knows that tattoo, but that’s not a friend anymore, and his heart breaks even as he strikes a deadly blow, and Kix falls under his saber.
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU8eL2CjzHw I’m listening to this and IT HURTS MORE, SO SUFFER WITH ME)
Okay, let’s go.
Some days he can’t bring himself to move, he just curls up and screams into the force, begging someone to help. But nobody does.
Some days he thinks he can see them, tinkering with machinery, or washing the dishes. But when he turns to look properly, they’re gone.
And later, if the vaporators are running more smoothly than usual, or if the sink is empty, he doesn’t think about it too much.
You brought this on yourself.
Obi-Wan raises bantha on Tattooine. The ones he buys have names already. The ones that are born into the herd he names after the clones he killed on the temple steps.
And after he runs out of names, he gives them the names of his own clones, the 212th lives on. He’s made sure of it.
He writes their names in stone, builds up mounds of rocks out in the desert, lays headstones out.
It takes him a few long years, but when he’s done he has a graveyard. The clones that died under his command before Anakin fell. The clones he killed after. The ones who have names and the ones who were still only numbers when they died.
He remembers all of them. Grieves for all of them. Even Cody.
#you have no idea what you’ve walked into #i wasn’t in a good place the last few days #now i’m ready to battle #there’s a reason i’m darth lucifero’s apprentice (via @the-last-hair-bender)
Oh that’s awful. I’m sorry! *sends positive vibes*
(please don’t fight me, i’m smol and angry, but I am very fragile.)
Okayy, ouchie. Good! But if it doesn’t make me dog-whine, then it ain’t good enough.
Sometimes he sits out in the middle of the Graveyard, and weeps for all these children, who grew up too fast and died before their time. He cries for the years and experiences stolen from them.
Sometimes he stays the night, and begs for forgiveness that he does not deserve. But desperately wants.
Sometimes he doesn’t have the energy to drag himself back from these visits, and collapses before he reaches the Hut. Sometimes he does it on purpose, hoping some Tusken Raiders will come across his prone body.
Sometimes he dreams, of what could have been, or what had been. And wakes up crying for a time that will never be again.
Sometimes he relives those awful memories, cutting down the men he had fought with, the men he had once called brothers, and if he wakes up screaming, then who is going to tell?
And if there are times he examines his blaster a little too closely, or stares down a steep desert cliff for too long, then no-one has to know.
@the-last-hair-bender @little-miss-no-one Listen up you two, how dare you do this to me when I was minding my own business??? Reading my mind and shit
@little-miss-no-one has been picking on me for the last couple days. I’m just starting to fight back is all.
Also.
He meditates in the graveyard, it’s peaceful there. Quiet. And yet he feels like he’s surrounded by loved ones.
Oh…… And when Qui Gonn’s force ghost shows up. He brings a couple of friends and Obi-Wan has the worst night he’s had since he arrived on Tattooine when his own men ask him for forgiveness.
He thought they’d betrayed him. Had let anger fester in his heart.
And then they tell him that Cody is still alive. Is working for Vader, training new troopers. That he missed on purpose.
Obi-Wan doesn’t remember much after that, but when he comes back to his own mind everything he owns has been destroyed. Ripped apart by his own two hands.
Because that’s what he’s always done. Tarnished everything he touches.
“Because that’s what he’s always done. Tarnished everything he touches.”
LEE
WHAT THE FUCK
(i mean Im pretty sure I’ve said similar shit before too)
BUT WHAT THE FUCK
HOW DARE
ITS TOO EARLY FOR THIS
@LITTLE-MISS-NO-ONE HAS BEEN BULLYING ME WITH SADNESS FOR DAYS. THIS IS ME GETTING BACK AT HER OKAY. I’M SORRY IF ANYONE ELSE GETS CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE.
BOTH OF YOU!!!!! TO YOUR ROOMS!!!!! IN THE CORNER!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!
GIVING YOU BOTH A SERIOUS TIME-OUT!!!! NO MORE WRITING THIS SHIT FOR AT LEAST A MONTH!!!!
You guys are in horrible, horrible trouble and are so fucking grounded.
@little-miss-no-one STARTED IT OKAY. I’M DEFENDING MYSELF.
STILL GROUNDED. BOTH OF YOU
Why. Just, why. I thought I was okay, then I reread it after i got back aboveground. I WAS CRYING ON THE TRAIN TO WORK. AND THEN I COME BACK TO THIS.
You’re also an awesome person, but this was TOO MUCH. I know what she did, I’ve been listening to the play-by-play but—-
You’re both awesome people, but sad chicken and Obi-torture (which is sad and horrifying but canonical, infinite sadness and all) and and and we all needed to feel okay and this hurts. Ouch, good ouch, sometimes, but aargh.
*cackles* Imma gonna add to it ;)
Obi-wan stared at the destruction through unseeing eyes, body slack in horror.
His men had betrayed him. No they hadn’t. Yes they had. No they hadn’t.
They had these inhibitor chips in their heads, forcing them to become flesh droids. No not droids, robots.
He couldn’t comprehend it. They had been forced to try and kill him?
A voice in the back of his mind whispered “They should have done their job”.
No. Cody needed him, “there will be time later”. No shut up!
The clones had been even more of a slave army than he had originally thought.
Sidious truly was a monster.

RE: robots. Droids in star wars have a level of sentience, like look at R2-D2 or the separatist droids.
But I like to think that before droids there were robots that just did their jobs, nothing else. (and I also like to think that only the Jedi, and maybe sith, remember them. Cause its been that long)
Do you guys see what I mean? Do you? THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS!!! SO RUDE!
YOU ARE GROUNDED!
YOU STARTED IT
there is more?
WHY MUST YOU BREAK MY HEART SO???
JUST YOU WAIT @meabhair IMMA GONNA ADD TO IT AGAIN LATER
FINE, WHATEVER
*sits in a corner with a sketch pad and starts chewing pencils*
BE LIKE THAT
*waits for angst and woe to land*
So it’s only short but…
All the memories he had tried so hard to repress, came rushing forth with new realisations colouring them ugly shades.
His men…His brothers had been used by a sith for kriffing entertainment.
His vision began to swim, and bile rose up his throat. He couldn’t concentrate on anything but the blood on his hands, the blood of the innocent men he had killed to save himself.
He didn’t know when he began running, just that he did.

That’s all I got *shrugs*
If there is a misspell or grammer flub, please message me and let me know!
*pained noises*
i’m back with sith obi wan~ ready to do some damage as always sith obi-wan inspired by amazing ‘wicked thing’ by even more amazing @imaginaryanon
It occurred to [Obi-Wan] then, with a clarity that was startling, given the dark side hurricane howling through him, that Yoda was wrong about the dangers of attachment. Or at least that he wasn’t altogether right.
It was true that attachment could weaken a Jedi’s resolve. But it could also strengthen it … as he was strengthened now by his love for Qui-Gon, and Anakin. Without them he would have failed long before this moment.
And so, leaning on them, he continued to fight.

This is where I die
‘star wars’ aesthetics → Obi-Wan Kenobi.
— Easy! We’re in a bit of a situation. — Did I miss something?

Obi-Wan frowned at [Padme]. “Following a direct order from the Jedi Council is never wrong, Senator. Disobeying an order, that is the error.”
“Qui-Gon disregarded the Council quite often,” she retorted. “He told me so, on Tatooine. He said it was the height of folly to substitute someone else’s judgment for your own, when you’re the person best placed to decide.” Picking up her cup again, she took a small sip of tea. “I’d be very surprised if he never gave you the same advice, Obi-Wan.”
His eyes blanked. His expression froze. “I have not come here to discuss Qui-Gon Jinn.”
She couldn’t help shivering, his voice was so cold. This was the Obi-Wan who could reduce Anakin to chastened silence. Almost to tears. But I won’t be intimidated. He has no right to chastise me.
—Wild Space by Karen Miller
Damn, Padme, way to get him where it hurts. And holy shit, Obi-Wan, please don’t make Anakin cry?
The Dark Side has aged Obi-wan well. Like fine wine. Patience with power can do that. Despite having all this power at his finger tips, the great Negotiator is smart and cunning with his use of it, just as he is with anything else. Such as the way he plays with the neck of his shirt, a subtle and yet powerful invitation to draw you in closer just how he wants you.
Oh mama.
