Did you know...?
I just found out that Anakin is the son of Darth Sidious WTF.
I originally thought that Sidious saw Anakin's potential and that's why he took notice of him, but now knowing that he's his son makes a lot of sense to me
Honestly I’m f*cked up, but it makes a lot of sense to me now.
Thank you. I'm shocked.
See sometimes I cry about the fall of the Jedi order. and sometimes I wonder how the hell they even lasted that long.
Example one: the Zillo beast
Because this is the logical train of thought: there’s a giant monster who wants to kill everyone, let’s kill him or put him back in the hole.
But noooo. The Jedi council was smoking something good that day and thought: There’s a giant monster that wants to kill everyone. Maybe we should kill it… nahhhh let’s bring it back to the capital so we can maximize damages. Hopefully it eats the chancellor.
I love the clone wars trio bc I see them all as different commentaries on the Jedi of the time.
Obi Wan is what the Jedi were.
Anakin is what the Jedi preached against.
Ahsoka is what the Jedi should aspire to be.
Obi Wan had the best of intentions: he wanted to save Anakin, to save Satine, to save Ahsoka. But in the end he failed due to Sith scheming. He was set up to fail, wether it be his dead master or the intergalactic war he was forced to fight in. And in the end Anakin did fall from the light, Satine was killed in Maul's quest for revenge, and Ahsoka walked away. He was a well-intentioned man with a good heart who was ultimately set up to fail by the Sith.
Anakin too wanted safety for his loved ones, but he took it to far. Instead of prioritizing those people, their wants and needs, he prioritized the way they made him felt. Instead of selfless love, he loved selfishly, which is exactlaly what the Jedi are against. They're not against love, they're against attachment. Anakin couldn't let go of Ahsoka: it corroded his faith in the Jedi, sowed seeds of resentment. He couldn't accept that Padme or Obi Wan didn't agree with his vision, because if they don't make him feel good, then they no longer love him. Anakin was a kind boy twisted by the Sith and his misguided attachment to others.
Ahsoka falls into a similar category as Obi Wan, except for one detial. She walked away. She recognized that the Jedi were unintentionally loosing themselves in war. And even through she was a spectacular warrior, a talented commander, she recognized that it wasn't supposed to be her job. She was able to let go of her attachment to Anakin and the 501st. She was a product of her masters and friends, of Obi Wan, Anakin, Padme, and all the others who influenced her growth. And even in the end, when her world fell, she still acted with compassion and understanding, which is exactly what a Jedi should be. Despite her discomfort with the twisted meaning of the title, Ahsoka embodied the fundamental traits of a Jedi. Not flawless, but an empathetic peacekeeper capable of embracing love and rejecting attachment.
Idk if I'm articulating it right, but the general idea is there.
So I was watching the Wrong Jedi arc (yes I cried, yes i hate myself, yes I hate Dave Filoni) and I got an idea.
What if the Jedi trusted Ahsoka? Bc despite what some people seem to think, they weren't evil monsters. The Jedi were just trying their best.
Anyway, I think that it would change the story a lot. One of the main reasons Anakin Skywalker, mister main character, fell, is because he had lost both his padawan and his faith in the Jedi council. So if Ahsoka not only stays around, but the Jedi trust and support them, maybe Anakin doesn't loose faith. Maybe Palpatine dies in a tragic elevator accident that definitely didn't have anything to do with Fox.
I have so many ideas for this AU, but the main one is just how Ahsoka can grow without Order 66 completely wrecking her life.. How she can turn from an annoying youngling to the one of the wisest and most powerful Knights. But most importantly, she gets her brothers, she gets her masters, she gets her family, and she gets to be Auntie Ahsoka.
This is all just an excuse to give Ahsoka a happy ending :)
LMAO GET THAT MOTHERFUCKER MACE!!!
Mace will do

The Star Wars Good Parent’s Guide (Part I, Part II)
Anon asked for papa Palpatine giving child Maul a festive present, so I had to make a comic. Think of this as a super jolly AU where the Sith aren’t complete creeps. (I guess Maul’s present is getting a somewhat normal childhood?)

(P.S. I couldn’t imagine adult Maul wearing the hat - so I drew papa Palpatine amusing himself by dressing up his tiny apprentice all fancy.)
