this is so niche but I believe I've just peaked
I just realized if Howzer had not helped the Syndullas escape in TBB season 1 "Rescue on Ryloth", there may not have been a Rebels storyline or team with Hera, Kanan and the rest. And then there wouldn't have been a family to find and guide Ezra, and Thrawn would have not been taken out as long as he was. The early Rebellion may not have had enough talented people to get it going. It's always neat how one man's valiant actions change the course of history in ways he could never have predicted. Howzer really is a pivotal clone even if he doesn't get a lot of screen time.
I can’t with him
#he was insane for this
PEDRO PASCAL on Jimmy Kimmel Live! | March 24, 2025
When the Bad Batch first shows up in The Clone Wars, Kix and Jesse are discussing their success rate, and one of them says “it’s not that they win, it’s how they win that concerns me.”
At first I remember thinking he meant they did things that were morally questionable. Very shortly we find out that he actually means they’re fucking crazy
#this should be cannon
If there is a lesbian in the room, Obi-Wan automatically defers to them. He knows his place.
Cody [being raised a clone] sees this and thinks it's just customary. See someone giving off major lesbian vibes in the force according to Obi-Wan, or they just have a carabiner? That's boss lady, you listen to her. And the other clones obviously look to Cody, so they just end up with a big squad of lesbian following clones.
so the dominant Jango Gene is fatherhood huh
A fun fact about me besides my love of Star Wars is that I love musicals. I have no musical talent whatsoever, but I still like the idea of writing musicals. And in the last few days I’ve had a rather silly idea of taking Revenge of the Sith and framing it as a musical, that idea eventually morphed into a musical set during the Clone Wars, but from the perspective of Mace Windu.
Mace is an often misunderstood character, especially from people who never read legends. And I thought this would be a fun idea for me to just have some fun with this. So, I got to writing an opening song for this, though as I said I’m not a songwriter by any means, but if anyone really wants me to continue let me know.
Link to song.
Chapter 2: A Leader
Chapter 3: A Daughter
[The musical begins, the sounds of blaster fire, vague battlefield orders heard, sounds of struggle as smoke fills the screen, intercut with lights of lightsabers and blasters. Three young padawans followed by clones enter. The padawans desperate and feeling overwhelmed sing].
Padawan #1 Come on my Jedi Can’t you see? We must hold the line For if we fall, the people die.
Padawan #2 There’s too many We’re surrounded
Padawan #3 There’s too many of them.
Padawan #1 Hold the line!
Padawan #2: We need another plan.
[Clones Fall and a Jedi does as well. A chorus begins to be heard humming. This chorus of Jedi will frequently return, they’ll act as a sort of Greek Chorus]
Jedi Chorus: So many fall So many die The young and brightest of our order In the name of peace and a republic That does not care.
Padawan #3
Retreat! We must retreat
Jedi Chorus: Untrained for war Untrained for this Meant for peace, but what is peace? Have we lost our way.
[A clone Commander appears, he runs to the eldest of the padawans.]
Clone Commander: The droids have broken our lines, Commander, what are your orders?
[The Padawan hesitates, and the clone grows more desperate.]
Clone Commander: What are your orders?!
[Suddenly a commanding voice sounds out.]
Mace Windu: Hold the line, Commander. Hold the line! (To the Padawans) Young ones, courage now—this is not the time to falter.
[The smoke clears slightly as Mace Windu strides into view, his purple lightsaber igniting with a resolute hum.]
Jedi Chorus: Master Windu, champion of the Jedi… Master Windu, where justice and courage lie… Master Windu, the shield against despair, Master Windu, a light in shadows’ lair.
Mace Windu:
Listen, young ones, the storm is here, But a Jedi stands, we do not fear. The galaxy turns in endless strife, Yet we are the shield, the blade of life.
Feel the Force, let it guide, Hold to the light, don’t run, don’t hide. Even in darkness, hope will rise, For the Jedi endure where chaos dies.
[The Padawans, emboldened by Mace’s presence, sing with renewed strength, echoing his confidence.]
Eldest Padawan: Come on, let’s do this!
Other Padawans: Master Windu, we follow— For the Republic, we fight, fight, fight!
Mace Windu (Inner Monologue): Meant to be a leader, meant to be a warrior, But they don’t see my doubts—my barrier. Could have ended this war before it began, Had my sword at the ready, but I had doubt… I’m just a man.
We must fight, change our role, But all of this war—it takes its toll. I see them fall, I see them die, My brothers, my sisters—hear their cry.
Jedi Chorus: Master Windu, guide us, lead us… Master Windu, hear us, teach us… Master Windu, show us what a Jedi can be, Master Windu, the strength of us is he.
[Mace Windu fights back, uses his lightsaber to lead and destroy battle droids as he gives orders the music grows quiet signifying that we are listening to his inner thoughts.]
Mace Windu: Jedi, follow my lead The republic will not fall, this is our creed Fight for the light, fight not for peace We fight for justice, this war will cease.
Padawans and Clones (chorus): Hold the line, hold the light, In the shadow of war, we fight, fight, fight! For justice, for hope, for the galaxy’s flame, We’ll endure, we’ll prevail, we’ll honor the name!
Master Windu, guide us, lead us… Master Windu, hear us, teach us… Master Windu, show us what a Jedi can be, Master Windu, the strength of us is he.
[The scene ends with Mace Windu standing strong, his purple lightsaber cutting through the haze, the battlefield momentarily stilled as the music fades into silence. The Jedi Chorus lingers as if carried on the wind.]

"He feels like my long lost home."
Shoutout to @lornaka for the sweet helmet art. Find other dividers like these here.
Tup - Tries to take you somewhere neat to see fireworks, holding your hand and glancing at you sheepishly every now and then, but gets lost along the way. Is simultaneously frustrated at himself and nervous at what you’ll think of him until you pull him into a side alleyway to show him some fireworks of your own. 😎
Jesse - Is so delighted to be spending the evening with you that he nearly gets into three different fights with troopers at the bar because he's just so dang excited. Dances your ass off then takes you out for street food, where he does get in a fight with a handsy vendor. Gives you the best kiss of your life at midnight. 🥴
Fives - Tells you to wear a disguise. Dies laughing when you show up and he is wearing a simple poncho while you have donned a huge fake mustache. Sneaks you both onto a large cargo freighter that is scheduled to depart from Coruscant a bit before 00:00, so that as it’s slowly lifting into the sky, you get a bird’s eye view of the fireworks all around you. Of course, he now needs to figure out how to get you both off the ship without being caught. 🥸
-=-=-=-=-=[SORRY BABES, no Corrie dividers!!]=-=-=-=-=-
Fox - Shows up at your apartment in sweatpants and cracks up at the side of you as you open the door, as you are in sweatpants as well, even though you both had said you were going to “go celebrate” together. But you both knew exactly what you meant by “celebrate”, and you watch crappy holofilms while snuggling on the couch, dozing off until the sound of fireworks rouses you. You gaze blearily out the window, watching the flashing colors as you’re nestled into his arms, then you both drift back to sleep after a feeble “whoo!” 😴
Howzer - Dresses to the nines to take you out to dinner but feels awkwardly self-conscious about it until you distract him by coaxing him into sharing stories about his squad, which light him up immediately. Then he’s got nothing but soft admiration for you, insists on two desserts, and walks you to your front door to finish the evening with a tender kiss. Comes running back to knock on your door about 10 minutes later when he realizes it’s just now midnight and “he kissed you too soon.” The oversight is quickly remedied. 🤭
Hardcase - Finds out where they're setting the fireworks off from and sneaks you in. You both tuck in a tiny little corner between a huge metal structure that holds the firework launchers, and when they start going off, it's so loud that you can't help but squeal. Hardcase also yells in delight, catching the attention of nearby employees, and suddenly pretends he's escorting you off the premises after you'd been discovered sneaking into the area. 😂
Gregor - Grabs some wraps at a food truck and takes you to some random little park where a galactic Mariachi band (they exist, ok?) is playing sweet beats. Dances with zero shame, with and without you. Drags you up a nearby hill to see fireworks and produces a bottle of champagne seemingly out of nowhere. Forgot glasses though, so you take swigs out of the bottle and choke on the bubbles and foam. Spins and dips you at midnight and finishes with the sweetest kiss.
Tag List?! Are y'all even here anymore!? 😂
