It used to bother me a little that Star Wars characters talked as if the Empire had been around forever (”before the dark times”, Obi-Wan says, exhausted) when the prequels tell us it’s only been about twenty years.

But since the inauguration, I get it.

Also, it’s been just over a month since the inauguration, and for Obi-Wan Kenobi it’s been around 228 months. No wonder the guy looks so fucking old.

Darth Vader: (On Twitter) Obi Wan is trying to spread lies and claim I am a “Master of Evil” and “More Machine than man”. Sad! Very dishonest Jedi living on a Terrible Sand Planet!

The pilots of Star Wars

ETA: How could I forget Rey! Edited to add her!

Empire Strikes Back (1980).

When you’re told to evacuate because the Galactic Empire just took over your city, you only have time to grab the essentials.

God, this guy is one of my favorite ridiculous EU characters along with Elan Sleazebaggano.

He was basically just a random extra with an ice cream maker, but they gave him an entire in-depth backstory about how he was a member of the Rebellion and that ice cream maker contained a lot of vital data and basically he single-handedly saved the Rebellion that day.

No really.

He has an action figure, of course, as does his ice cream maker computer datacore.

Fuck.

the star wars eu is a wild fucking ride

“After the Rebels’ victory, Hood decided to take it easy.” with a daily supply of fresh ice cream i guess

See, if Hood can get his own backstory and fame, TR-8R can come back too

is this cutthroat kitchen

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO POST ABOUT WILLROW HOOD WITHOUT MENTIONING THE RUN OF THE ICECREAM MAKERS?

Because Star Wars costuming groups cannot let things go.

This is the kind of canon I can get behind

There is a chain of ice cream stores run by Hood on Coruscant.

We’ve had Rogue One so…where is his movie?

ok so Leia was heading to Obi-wan before the Battle of Scarif, and before she ever knew she or anyone would have the plans. It wasn’t just a last resort, “vader’s bout to get us we gotta go somewhere” decision. the fact that she was going to Obi-wan is probably the reason she was with the rebels and not on Alderaan.

so think in the context that a) Bail was knowingly sending his daughter, who has the genes of one of the most powerful force users ever, to go get a Jedi, b) Bail knew that he was sending the biological child of Anakin to Anakin’s former master and friend, c) Obi-wan definitely would knows who Leia is, d) Bail knows that Obi-wan is keeping an eye on Luke.

I’m not saying Bail Organa knowingly sent his force sensitive daughter to the only fully trained Jedi he knew how to get in touch with and also her force sensitive brother, but Bail Organa knowingly sent his force sensitive daughter to the only fully trained Jedi he knew how to get in touch with and also her force sensitive brother. Because he and Mon Mothma decided things had gotten to this point.

Someone in the tags said “Bail didn’t send the plans to Obi-wan. Bail sent Leia.”

YES. The Death Star plans were a last minute bonus. Bail’s actual plans for dealing with the Empire and the Death Star was LEIA

I need more Baze and Chirrut origin stories asap please and thank you

if you’re angry that george lucas turned padme amidala into some tearful and pregnant plothole in revenge of the sith and cut out all mention of her founding the rebellion clap your hands
