Well, I did another thing. Don’t know if this is accurate, but I guess it is.

Enoch is my only character who ill concede to being unironically pretty, but they make up for it by being a perfect idiot
I just had a random thought: As long as a force-sensitive person's body is still present in the galaxy, their "presence" will remain with it until it is fully decomposed. This is why jedi burn their dead, so that their friends can live on in the force instead of decaying alongside their physical bodies. The Empire preserved Luminara's corpse because they knew that other jedi would sense her presence clinging to her body, therefore come to rescue her because they would think she was still alive.
That makes... a horrible amount of sense ghghghkgdhs.
Here’s the rest of batch 5!
Enjoy and thanks again for your patience!
Start of story
First half of batch 5
Star Wars (1977) Issue #89
Obi-Wan Kenobi finds himself back in the past somewhere during the Clone Wars.
And obviously he needs to make sure that Anakin doesn't Fall and go on his Grand Slaughter Adventure.
But Anakin is the most bantha-headed, stubborn, CONTRARY disaster in the galaxy. Obi-Wan just KNOWS that if he tries going at it straight on Anakin might Fall just out of sheer spite.
No. No. This requires some finesse.
Long story short, he gets his hands on some yellow contact lenses and begins playing the most intricate game of reverse psychology guerilla warfare in the history of the Republic.
(and would you look at that, "Sith" are allowed to make assassination attempts on Supreme Chancellors. How... convenient)
AU where Obi-Wan dies in a battle, leaving Anakin desolate. His friend, his mentor, the other half of his soul, his everything is gone and without him all the world around doesn't make sense anymore. What is the point of fighting if Obi-Wan isn't by his side? What is the point of clutching to the Light if the anchor that tethered him to the Order isn't there anymore? Only now Anakin realises that he was in love with him all along. Now, when there's nothing to be done about it. Now, when it's too late.
But.
Palpatine says that everything isn't lost yet - that death isn't irreversible like Jedi want him to believe, that there are certain Force techniques which allow to bring back life to the dead.
Anakin is so desperate to have his Obi-Wan back, that he will do everything to ressurect him. Everything. Even if the price of that will be murdering thousands of children.
Cody gets bitten by a werewolf sometime during the war, and can transform at will with no full moon requirement, effectively becoming himself as a very large dog
he and Obi-Wan conspire to keep this fact hidden, as they're very aware of the danger of the Kaminoans finding out and disappearing him into their labs
when Order 66 goes out, Cody has a split second to fight it
and, well. wolves aren't exactly good soldiers, and you can only sort of expect them to follow orders.
transformed, Cody runs straight to the General, but when he gets there, he realizes that he can't actually warn him of the danger, because he can't transform back to explain without the Order taking hold
but he can whine sadly and pull on Obi-Wan's ridiculous sleeves with his teeth until Obi-Wan gets the hint and lets him lead him away to safety in a stolen ship
they make the rendezvous with Bail and Yoda
(Bail: what's with the dog Obi-Wan?
Obi-Wan, sweating: it's, um, a service dog
Yoda: ...fake, that sounds, but okay)
and then Cody and Obi-Wan make the trip to the Temple to disable the beacon, with Cody fighting off his brothers as nonlethally as he can while Obi-Wan does his best to follow his lead
after they find the evidence of Anakin's betrayal and receive Yoda's assignment, Obi-Wan sobs into Cody's fur the whole flight to Padme's apartment, and then silently the whole flight out to Mustafar hidden aboard her ship
while Obi-Wan is busy fighting with Vader, Cody manages to drag Padme's unconscious body back aboard her ship, then sneaks back closer to the fighting just in time to see the end of the duel
(if he waits to act until Obi-Wan is just far enough to not notice when Anakin's screams cut out, well, that's his own business)
he follows Obi-Wan back to the ship and drapes himself across the man's lap the whole way to Polis Massa
after Padme's death and her children's birth, Cody demands that they keep at least one of the babies
(look at his puppy dog eyes. how can you so cruelly deprive him of tubies like this.)
so Luke grows up with his Uncle Ben and their very strange, very large dog, Cody
when they end up on the Death Star nearly two decades later, Cody materializes from wherever he'd been lurking on the station just in time to drag Obi-Wan to safety during his duel with the Grand Inquisitor
as soon as their bedraggled group arrives on Yavin, Rex shows up to eagerly greet his former General; Cody, while thrilled to see his brother alive, starts viciously growling at him as he approaches: he might not understand in detail how the chips work, but he knows what he experienced that day, and he's seen what his brothers have done since then
Obi-Wan explains the situation to the man from the Cody-approved distance of half the hangar away, how Cody transformed one day and has refused to turn back since, and Rex immediately expresses his confusion, asking if they haven't removed Cody's chip
(Cody: I assure you, I did NOT let anyone microchip me!)
following Rex's explanation, Cody rushes them all to the medbay to undergo surgery, leaving Obi-Wan to explain to Luke how their 'dog' is actually his other Uncle
while Obi-Wan and Cody are distracted desperately making out with each other in the medbay, Luke sneaks off to destroy the Death Star, setting them up to all live happily ever after
He’s the cutest stop it
