this post is going around and all it really makes me want is ANH!Ben being around and frustrating and confusing AotC/tCW/RotS!Obi-Wan

he could also be a force ghost (when he became more powerful than vader could imagine, he never realized that would mean breaking the time-space continuum) that either no one else but Obi-Wan could see, or actually be there but hiding from everyone else but Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan also has to hide his presence from the others, I mean

just imagine neat Obi-Wan having to deal with this scattered desert-mad old version of him who no longer has a lot of care for this ‘civilized’ mess, trying to lead him around to realizing sidious is the sith lord, also getting cripplingly sad about anakin

also obi-wan had no idea his vagueness was so frustrating until he had to put up with it himself

Master Obi-Wan: Just tell me who the Sith Lord is so we can stop him.

Old Ben: It is someone you already know, though not as well as you think.

Master Obi-Wan: *holds back a sigh* I know a lot of people. Can you be a little more specific?

Old Ben: It is someone in a position of power.

Master Obi-Wan: That doesn’t rule out nearly as many of the people that I know as you might think!

Old Ben: Oh yes, I remember. Well, he is orchestrating this whole blasted war.

Master Obi-Wan: ARGH.

Anakin shows up(can’t see Old Ben): Obi-Wan? What’s wrong?

Master Obi-Wan: Nothing, Anakin. I’m just realizing how obtuse I can be sometimes.

Anakin: *grinning* Oh yeah?

Old Ben: *gets cripplingly sad, can’t take his eyes off of Anakin, is useless for the rest of the hour*

#LMAO #longer than the hour probably #the next three days to a week #i mean honsetly no one in this time is prepared to face sidious for various reasons #so time for a rocky training montage but #i love it #also ben not remembering just how many friends he lost OwO #how long has it been since it was just him and the bantha (via @themikeymonster)

Oh, a rocky training montage! Obi-Wan running himself, Anakin and the 212th and the 501st through drills trying to get them all prepared to take on Sidious.

And Old Ben in the corner being both sadly nostalgic but also screaming because his warnings just made his younger self surround himself even more with all the people who made to turn against him and train them to be even better fighters than before.

#tbh old ben’s reactions to his friends would probably be pretty disturbing #like you can guess how horribly a person died based on how sad old ben is #obi wan becomes even more of a helicopter parent #or helicopter master
#bc whatever happened to anakin must’ve been horrifying #and he Can’t Have That (via @ialreadyreadthatfanfic)

So true. They’re probably walking through the Temple and Old Ben’s very somber and sad look makes Obi-Wan jump to the worst case scenario conclusion: that the Temple fell and all the Jedi died (he’s not wrong). During a Council meeting, he’s distracted by how Old Ben keeps staring at everyone in the room like he never expected to see them again. (Except for Yoda, who as far as Old Ben knows, is still alive in the future and living in Dagobah.)

But yeah, Obi-Wan basically starts keeping Anakin at his side at all times because he gets worried that something terrible will happen to Anakin while he’s away from him. Anakin obviously dies, given Old Ben’s reaction to him. And it must have happened while Obi-Wan was separated from him because if he was there, there’s no way Obi-Wan would have let him get killed, not unless he himself was severely crippled and couldn’t save him. And as Old Ben is still in one piece, that must not have been what happened.

So Obi-Wan accompanies Anakin everywhere: to see Padme in her apartments (hilarious because the two of them are still trying to hide their relationship from him),  to visit Palpatine (creepy; why is Anakin friends with this guy). He manufactures excuses to bring Anakin to Council meetings or to call him in for part of the meetings (”why can’t you just debrief me on your own like you usually do?” Anakin complains. “This was a tougher mission than usual, I think the whole Council should hear about it from you,” Obi-Wan says. OR, the Council starts debating something and Obi-Wan says, “You know what, I think we should consult Anakin on this. He’s got some expertise in this field. Let’s call him in.” Councilors: “??? Okay, I guess, if you really think that will be helpful….”)

Well, after a while idk if Anakin would be all that bothered about trying to hide his relationship with Padme from Obi-Wan.

The constant attention of his Master is slightly irritating, but mostly validating. 

Because, in this scenario, the other masters are probably side-eyeing Obi-Wan as overly attached to his former Padawan. 

They’re trying to be subtly reproachful, because in every other aspect Obi-Wan is the perfect Jedi, and nobody really wants to kick him off the Council, he’s incredibly competent. But if he drags Skywalker into a Council meeting to consult on a minor matter again…

Of course, the subtle reproach goes right over Obi-Wan’s head, since he’s 24/7 in Danger Mode, looking over his shoulder for the Sith, constantly checking on Anakin and updating training schedule for their battalions.

Do you think Bodhi Rook is religious?? I can’t make up my mind.

notbecauseofvictories:

The Empire is a prideful god. It will permit no higher authority than itself, no greater power than its armies, no eternity but its reign. (Those who might suggest otherwise are heretics, and are dealt with as idolaters must.) A militant kind of monotheism; there are no gods, there is no Force, there is just the Empire. There is only the Empire.

Bodhi had an aunt who—well, he was never entirely clear what, except that mother and father had stopped talking about her the same time the holo of the Emperor went up over the mantle. (His mother had cried in her room for weeks, and when Bodhi thinks of it he still tastes the charcoal of burnt rice, the awful tension of whispered arguments happening in other rooms.) But it had something to do with the clear, bright crystals she had sent them, because Bodhi’s father had gone room by room and scooped them up, shoved them in a box. Buried it under the floorboards.

No one was allowed to play Jedi and Separatists anymore. At least not where an adult would see, would go grey and gather all of them together in a tight circle, to say in a quiet voice, you can’t, don’t, stop.

(There are no Jedi anymore. There were never any Jedi. The Jedi never existed. How does the old adage go? The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them—)

Shykeli was thrown out of flight academy for meditating in secret. The administration had found ‘Jedi propaganda’ in her things, though they’d never really explained what that was, or what it meant. If the Force isn’t real, Cregha had said thoughtfully, why are they so scared of people venerating it?

Cregha was reassigned to skiffs soon after. Bodhi missed xir.

But after Galen gives him the message, Galen cups Bodhi’s face, tucks Bodhi’s hair behind his ears. Galen says, May the Force be with you.

“My auntie had—she gave us crystals like that,” Bodhi blurts out in Jyn’s vague direction, because he’s had may the force may the force looping through his head for a standard week; he can’t figure out why it won’t stop.

Jyn glances at him sidelong, still playing with the bright, clear crystal on the cord around her neck. It catches artificial light like something not artificial at all, more real than anything Bodhi has seen. 

“It’s a kyber crystal,” Chirrut says into the awkward silence. “A conduit of the Force. Your aunt must have been a believer.”

“My father hid them,” Bodhi says absently. (may the force may the force…) “He didn’t want us attracting attention.”

“Smart man,” Baze offers, and then they are all silent again, waiting for Cassian to return.

(This is what Bodhi Rook thinks of in his last moments: of crystals, and the Force invisible but omnipresent; of being smart versus being good, and sending a message out into space, not knowing if anyone is listening.

His last words are for Galen. His last thoughts are for the aunt he did not know. If perhaps—)
