The fucking tragedy that is literally all of Obi Wan's relationships, platonic and romantic.
Qui Gon: He was basically raised by this man for fucks sake and he had to hold him as he died. That's so fucking tragic holy shit do I need to say more.
Anakin: HE FUCKING RAISED THIS FUCKING DUMBASS. He raised him and cared for him and he had to fucking fight him in the end. He let himself get struck down by him. He finally got to see the real Anakin when he died and gave a smile despite fucking everything. Don't TOUCH ME I'm CRYING.
Cody: HE FOUGHT WITH THIS MAN FOR HOW MANY GODDAMN YEARS??? I DON'T FUCKING KNOW. A LOT. HE TRUSTED HIM. HE CARED. and in the end he was nearly blown up because of some stupid evil old guy. Shut UP I'm crying imagine how fucking sad he was when he heard his commander give the order. Shut up shut up shUT-
Satine: YOUNG LOVE THAT LINGERED DESPITE EVERYTHING. HE COULDN'T ASK HER TO ABANDON EVERYTHING AND SHE COULDN'T DO THAT FOR HIM. HE HELD HER AS SHE DIED. DID YOU SEE THE FUCKING SADNESS IN HIS EYES IN THAT SCENE. SHUT UP. OH AND THeir young love so they were young. Young and stupid. Young and probably full of hope and not yet absolutely plagued by absolutely everything that goddamn universe threw at them. They trust each other so much. They respect each other so much. It hurts. Shakespeare is fucking jealous of what these two have.
Luke: HIS FUCKING GRANDSON BASICALLY. The fucking pauses before he answered oh my god go look up a video on YouTube called "Obi Wan has PTSD" because it shows the things I cannot write in words. THE WAY FACT THAT HE HELD THE FUCKING KID WHEN HE WAS A BABY he held him when he was a baby and now he's giving him a lightsaber and has accidentally sent him to war. You cannot tell me it's Obi Wan's fault because it's not like R2 was looking for Luke he was looking for Obi Wan! OH YEAH AND THEN HE FUCKING DIED IN FRONT OF THE KID. don't touch me. do not.
Maul: This mf has taken so much from this poor sad Jedi and you know what he does when he's dying? He holds him. Just as tenderly as he did to the people he loved. He never fucking lashes out in absolute fucking fury. He doesn't make it worse. No. He doesn't let Maul die alone and hated. I'm fucking sobbing I could NEVER. I could never.

this is like my most hit tweet of all time

C-3PO and R2-D2 are a severely underrated ship and that makes me sad, so here's a list of some things that I love about them:
-Bickering old married couple vibes
-Just how much they genuinely do love eachother despite how different they are
-Whenever Threepio puts his hand on Artoo's head or shoulder
-How happy they are to see eachother again in the Jawa Sandcrawler
-The "Hang on tight Artoo you've got to come back" and then the "You wouldn't want my life to get boring would you" bit in A New Hope
-When Artoo is badly damaged and Threepio is pleading with everyone to fix him. This is after they've been bickering the entire movie and now Threepio, notoriously selfish as he can be, is desperately offering up his own parts to save him
-That part in The Empire Strikes back where they're all preparing to flee the base on Hoff and Threepio runs over to Artoo and tells him to take care of Luke, but the bit that gets me is how softly he then adds "And do take care of yourself"
-Threepio gets so excited at the thought of Artoo being in Cloud City that he wanders off from the group because he thinks he hears him (and subsequently gets blown up RIP)
-After getting back to the ship on Cloud City, when they're in the middle of being pursued by the Empire, the VERY first thing Artoo does is start on putting Threepio back together. I just find it sweet because everyone else was too preoccupied to bother with him, (shoutout to Chewbacca for at least trying) but Artoo immediately goes to help him the first chance he gets. You get the sense that he's had to repair Threepio a lot, which is probably true and also very wholesome.
-Which reminds me of a similar scene in the prequels where Artoo appears out of nowhere in the middle of this huge battle and reattaches Threepio's head.
-That part in the droid torture chamber thing. Threepio is being taken away and shouts "Artoo don't leave me!" and upon seeing this Artoo proceeds to cuss out the droid that had him taken away lol
-I was gonna say all the times they rescue eachother but let's be real it's just Artoo saving Threepio.
-Artoo's little chuckle when everyone finds out that the ewoks see Threepio as a god
-When Luke uses the force to make Threepio float and Threepio calls out to Artoo for help, (like he'd be able to do anything even if he wasn't tied up lol). He's just too used to Artoo saving his dumbass lmao.
-I haven't watched much of the prequels but the first time they meet is adorable. Artoo is just like 'you're naked' and then they hang out for the remainder of Artoo's stay on Tatooine
-Double wedding at the end of Attack of the Clones (I'm kidding but the moment is still cute)
-That one time in the droids cartoon where Threepio is ready to physically attack this bigass robot because he thought it killed Artoo
-Then the moment afterwards when he sees that Artoo is alive and basically throws himself at him in a hug. "You foolish, wreckless... wonderfully brave little unit." 🥺
-The comic where Artoo hijacked a ship, flew to where Threepio was being held captive and went on a stormtrooper killing spree all by himself, just to save Threepio (because nobody else thought sending out a rescue party to save a droid was worth it 😤).
There's gotta be some more moments but I've only seen the original trilogy and bits and pieces of other Star Wars media here and there.
EDIT: I've remembered a few other moments so here we go
-When Luke is flying to Cloud City to save his friends Artoo says something to him and Luke replies with "No 3PO's with them". So he presumably said something along the lines of 'What about Threepio? or 'Did they leave Threepio behind?' or maybe he was asking if Luke could sense if Threepio was okay. I just love how they add little details like that. They didn't need to include it at all but it's moments like this that really flesh them out as characters by showing how much they worry about eachother.
-In Attack of the Clones, when Threepio is on that conveyor belt thing in the droid factory, instead of worrying about his own safety he's like 'Hmm. I wonder what happened to poor little R2'. Like boy you've got bigger problems right now, not to mention the fact that Artoo pushed you off the edge in the first place lmao
-Lego Star Wars: Droid Tales has quite a few moments. The whole plot is Threepio trying to find and rescue a kidnapped Artoo (the tables have turned for once omg!) And he's so determined to save him it's so cute.
-Lego Artoo carries around a copy of Threepio's memory with him.
-Lego Threepio pulls a photo of Artoo out of nowhere then proceeds to gaze longingly at it, lamenting over whether he'll ever see him again.
-Admiral Ackbar is reminiscing over his stolen ship the same time Threepio is trying to talk about Artoo, so Threepio goes 'A ship is just a machine. A droid is a person...' and idk I just love the way he says it.
-There's a flashback to the end of the Empire Strikes back and Threepio is like 'R2 I thought you were lost for good. I am so happy to see you again!' And he's so excited it's so cute.
Currently rewatching The Clone Wars and I’m tickled by how much C3PO reminds me of Aziraphale — then I realized C3PO and R2D2 are kinda a perfect Ineffable pair
3PO says he hates trouble but loves being rescued. He has a posh British accent and often sounds worried. R2 is a sassy little guy using he/him pronouns despite having an amorphous gender. His “eye” is glowing red and covered by a dark lens. They pretend-hate each other but they’re best friends. They both process every language and aren’t human, but 3PO speaking Huttese sounds like Aziraphale speaking French. They both save the entire universe multiple times.
C’mon…tell me this isn’t them:

We all know that Hoth was a simmering mess of hormones and stress and I would pay good money for a soap opera about them. Here are some things which Definitely Happened:
- There’s a betting pool going on who takes Luke’s virginity. The favourites are Han and Leia, but Wedge Antilles has pretty good odds, and there’s a small contingent of aliens who are convinced it will be Chewie (after all, who could resist that Wookie musk? Headcanon: most alien races consider humans soft and gross. Most alien races find Wookies absurdly attractive. Han Solo isn’t the ladykiller; Chewie is.)
- Leia and Han scream at each other in every corner of the base. Everyone is desperate for them to fuck. They do not. The sexual tension is so thick that it could be cut into blocks and sold as wall insulation. More than once they are ‘accidentally’ locked in a supply cupboard in the vain hope that claustrophobia will act as the catalyst that enables their frustration to spark into true love – or at least nasty raunchy cupboard sex. It does not. All that happens is that the offender has legally changed their name to escape the Wrath of Organa.
- Someone paints a shirtless Han Solo on their X Wing. Leia is furious. Han is delighted: both at the highly flattering portrait (he has an eight-pack, he is shredded) and at Leia’s fury (you’re jealous princess/no I am not/you’re jealous, hey I can pose like that for you if you –). Hoth’s winter had nothing on the chilly silence that followed that suggestion.
- Luke and Leia both have very graphic dreams about Han Solo. Han Solo has very graphic dreams about the twins – individually, together, he’s thirty fucking years old, why is his brain doing this to him.(Later on they will, individually, realise that due to Luke and Leia’s Force-bond they probably created a circle of Han Solo Sex Dreams: Leia had them, so Luke sensed her lust for Han which intensified his own lust for Han, which led to Luke having Han Solo sex dreams, which led to Leia lusting – and so on, and so on. For the sake of their sanity, they never share this revelation which each other.)
- Luke is SO COLD. All the time. WHY DOES NO ONE APPRECIATE HOW COLD HE IS. He comes from a desert world. Of course he’s cold! What is all this white stuff? It was pretty for the first fve seconds but holy fucking Force it is so cold it burns and what the hell is going on with that? He bundles himself up in so many layers that he waddles rather than walks. Fearsome Last of the Jedi indeed.
- Luke tapes a knife to a cleaning droid (disc-shaped things that swish around the base, sucking up dirt) and names it Stabby. Why, says Leia. Luke, the boy from Tatooine, shining and happy despite everything says why not. Why not indeed. Stabby is very fond of chasing Han. Han wants desperately to shoot the fucking thing– but then he sees big-eyed Luke and sharp-toothed Leia cooing over it and, well. A little bit of light stabbing is nothing, compared to those two smiling.
STABBY THE SPACE ROOMBA!
I am torn between wanting Stabby to be grabbed and evacuated along with the Rebels and make it to the next base, and wanting Stabby to get Vader.
Compromise: shortly after losing the Millennium Falcon, Vader, storming through the Rebel base, is startled to feel a sudden jolt of pain from the artificial sensors on his left leg prosthetic: a sharp sensation on his ankle. Surprised, because he sensed no threat–is the limb malfunctioning?–he looks down, and there is a cleaning droid with a knife taped to it, a little painted-on Rebel lieutenant’s insignia, and the word STABBY written on it.
He stares down at it, completely and utterly taken aback for the first time in over a decade. Fearlessly, it chitters back at him, sounding very triumphant.
He picks it up.
Off in the fractal weirdness of hyperspace, Rebels on several ships are surprised to find an update on Stabby’s kill-update feed, and then thoroughly shocked at the accompanying image: the upward-pointing camera has captured an image of Darth Vader staring down at the droid.
It’s the fastest news ever to travel through the Rebel grapevine, the mix of triumph and loss that is, they are certain, Stabby’s heroic last stand.
Until a day later, when the thing updates again, this time showing an extremely confused Imperial officer. And another, and another, and another, day after day.
They cancel the funeral.
Vader hasn’t done much just for the fun of it in two decades. Watching Imperial officers swear and clutch their ankles as a cleaning drone with a knife taped to it, an Imperial emblem, lieutenant’s insignia, and the word STABBY painted on it, bumps into them and then chatters triumphantly, he’s figured he’s earned.
STABBY FIC! STABBY STARWARS FIC! YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY!
But do they send in a rescue unit to reclaim their most honorable POW?
no, the rebels are all too happy to have vader backing one of their most valuable psychological weapons. stabby’s antics are invaluable for their ability to escalate tension within imperial ranks, and vader’s personal amusement means stabby will get to keep running his miniature interference mission for a long time to come

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS
STABBY LIVESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Grand Moff Tarkin limps into Vader’s quarters. Again. “Lord Vader, enough of this.”
“I have altered the droid; pray I do not alter it any further.”
(If there’s one thing young Anakin Skywalker can appreciate, it’s a hot-rodded maintenance droid, c’mon.)

VADER PUTS A LIGHTSABRE ON STABBY
HE CALLS IT HIS APPRENTICE
MY SON WILL NOT TURN TO THE DARKSIDE BUT MY SON’S STABBY SON WILL
Stabby is eventually recovered and given a medal after the defeat of the Emperor, but his poor little chassis is too badly damaged by then to even hold onto the knife anymore. His internal mechanism is removed and upgraded, and then the Master Droid Tech charged with fixing him casts around for a new casing to put him in.
“Hey!” calls a teenaged Poe Dameron, walking into the Droid repair shop. “I got this decommissioned BB-8 chassis they said to bring in here. It needs a new owner. Captain said I can have it if I can find a new mechanism for it.”
The Master Droid Tech looks at Stabby, then at the BB-8 chassis, then back at Stabby. Stabby turns his unsheathed ocular sensor to Poe and beeps adoringly. (This is a common if relatively new reaction to Poe Dameron, who has just graduated from his Awkward Stage.)
“Yeah, I got one for you right here,” the Tech says, grinning.
(big thanks to @platinumvampyr for making the Stabby fanart!)
I would die for stabby
Is this it? Is this the Origin?
Holy motherforking shirtballs this is easily my favorite hoth headcanon and I absolutely adore this as an explanation for BB8
