I got quite a few asks for Fox, and what better way to draw our lad than using Palps as a skateboard across the senate room? Yeah… Sorry!

Anakin Assists the Jedi Council While On Medical Leave

AU brainstormed primarily by @atagotiak, @gelpenss, and myself.

Basically, a fix-it based in Anakin getting a peek into the daily life on the Council early, and accidentally Figuring Some Shit Out along the way, mostly because Palps Fucks Up.

a quick summary of star wars:

Supreme Emperor Obi-Wan Kenobi (part 2)

For a second you could hear a pin drop in the senate. It was as if the entire galaxy stood still. Then all of the senators started shouting at once. Supreme Emperor Obi-Wan Kenobi paid them no attention.

Supreme Emperor Obiwan Kenobi

Palpatine’s victory was far more a political victory than one of the Force, which is sort of fascinating to think about if you try to frame it as the Sith “evolved”, like they evolved away from the Force and into political machinations, into becoming almost literal avatars of systemic injustice and I think it’s a fair point to say that you can’t really fight that with magic space wizard psychic powers, but that you have to meet them on a political level, as much as you can.  Or at least until the point of the Empire, then you have to just tear the system down and start over, but the Republic at least still had hope of becoming better.  Which is why putting it on the Jedi, to defeat Palpatine through their Force-specific powers was never really going to work, the Jedi’s role in the galaxy wasn’t and shouldn’t be as a primarily political entity.  The Republic failed because the Senate supported Palpatine as a politician, not because he was an evil psychic wizard.  The Republic’s failure was on the people who failed to hold their leaders accountable or stand up to fight for themselves when the Separatists were invading and enslaving worlds.  The Republic fell because of politics, not because of the Force.

#star wars#fall of the republic#yeah pretty much#‘so this is how liberty dies. with thunderous applause.’ (via @noirsongbird) Yes!!!  That is precisely what Padme’s iconic line shows!!!  Her delivery of that is aimed straight at the Senate cheering on Palpatine creating a dictatorship, one that has precisely zero to do with the Jedi (other than using them as a scapegoat), that liberty died through politics.  If this was supposed to be about the Jedi’s failure, she would have said, “So this is how liberty dies, when our heroes fail us.”  Instead, no!  She says this right at the Senators all cheering for their new Emperor, because Palpatine’s victory was by and large not one of the Force, but one of political machinations.

And one final addition–this isn’t to say that the Jedi are absolved all responsibility, of course they had a responsibility to hold their elected leaders accountable, just as everyone else in the galaxy did, that they were part of the galaxy, they were just as obligated as everyone else to do their part. The point I’m getting at, though, is that Palpatine’s victory was done far more through politics (and Padme’s iconic line supports that), that he could have achieved basically the same exact things if he weren’t Force-sensitive at all, and considering his victory in that light and “how do you fight that kind of thing?”, the answer isn’t “with magic powers!” but with “the GFFA public getting its shit together and actually holding their leaders accountable”. Can you make the argument that Mace killing Palpatine would have solved the problem?  Eh, sort of.  Mace did try to go there to arrest him, but the thing was that Palpatine was right, he was the Senate, he couldn’t be stopped without a massive change to the system that was clearly not going to happen, so would killing him with space wizard powers have stopped the evil?  Sort of, I guess?  But Palpatine’s machinations were based on political shit that was already there, killing him would allow for a chance at healing, but it’s not like Palpatine was the source of the Senate’s greed.  They were already like that when he got there.  His death would not have been the end of that.  Only holding those elected officials in the Senate accountable would be the end of that corruption, not anything to do with space wizard powers.

Whenever I’m reading a fic and it’s talking about a Jedi/Sith who’s feeling a MAJOR POWER SURGE in the force it’s always described as like… a rush of endorphins and manic delight… but tbh??? Hot take… but this should be a ‘I can hear sideways through time’ moment of insanity and more people should write it like that

So what you’re saying is I can have a Jedi be like “I have vibrated into the 4th dimension and I can taste the color purple. Now hush, the midichlorians are reading poetry to me again”

TBH I imagine that would be a very valid thing for Ahsoka to say after she’s been force zapped, but Anakin just sorta blinks and goes ‘did everything just taste purple for a second there?’

But Obi-Wan, delightful Obi-Wan, who survives off caffeine and spite, barely feels more that the insane urge to giggle and he WONT TELL ANYONE WHAT HE FINDS FUNNY AND ITS PISSING EVERYONE ELSE OFF CAUSE THEY WANT IN ON THE JOKE TOO

But also, consider:

Ahsoka: *twitchy right eye* The midichlorians are reading poetry in Master Yoda’s voice and I think I can taste it.

Anakin: Whats it taste like?

Ahsoka: Swamp.

Obi-Wan: *quoting Shrek in his head* *wont stop giggling but also won’t tell anyone why he’s giggling*

I mean?? Adrenaline surges can be Interesting, but the force rushing through you like that isn’t the same thing as adrenaline. It’s like downing 6 Red Bull’s in five minutes with a hit of cocaine.

I wonder how aware they are that some weird Force shenanigans are happening. While I love the idea that they would have no idea it’s happening until it’s over and done with, I also find it hilarious that they could be like “the walls are speaking to me and Obi-wan’s giggling like crazy, the Force must messing with the power switches again.” Maybe some combination of both even. Ahsoka could be sitting there in class one day while Master Yoda reads poetry and spend the entire time wondering if it’s really him or the midichlorians.

Omfg that’s lol af, Yoda would read poetry to the class (with the added funsies of reading it in his own words for Extra Confusion) just because he knows he was the star of one of her weird force hudu moments to mess with her. She’s been disassociating for two whole hours now she ain’t know what real anymore. Someone asked her if she was okay she asked them if she was dreaming. People are concerned.

Just imagine all the clones reacting to their Jedi acting like the cat that got into the nip tho??? Would they film it??? Would one of them end up patting Obi-Wan on the head only for him to basically crawl into their lap and demand to be pet??? Only the clones know and they’ll take that secret with them to the grave.

Omg… I am in love with this. I can totally see it as every Jedi just having a good drug trip. But imagine Sith having a bad one, like hangovers or something. Or it’s twice as good. Like Maul smelling pink or something. It’s that good.

TBH? Okay so I don’t really think the force discriminates from light to dark?? So it would give the same trips to the dark users as the light ones???

So, with that in mind: this would be an AU where until the war happened, these occurrences were thought of as rare, so they been happening like once a week, and it’s been seen as weird, so the crux of the war is happening, every Sith and Jedi in one area, and suddenly weird force hoodoo happens, and the MOST effected out of everyone in the entire area is the chancellor????? So, the clones (aka: the only sober bitches in the room) take the chance to take everyone that’s NOT a Jedi into custody, as is usual when force hoodoo happens (while Commander Cody and Captain Rex are personally dealing with a meowing Jedi Master and a Jedi Dumbass who’s begging people for ‘just one bug to spare, for I have not eaten in years’) and all come to the conclusion that Palpatine is a Sith Lord and compile a list of reasons to kill him real dead by the time the Jedi are feeling normal again, and then that is what they do. The end.

“Here you go,” the clones say, throwing a babbling Sheev at the Jedi Council’s feet. “While you were high on the Force, we caught your sith lord for you. You’re welcome. Also, here’s a list we compiled of why Sheev Palpatine is a very bad man and should be kept far away from all clones and Jedi at all times :)”

(Also I love the fact that this became a fix-it au)
