a nap and a snickers bar would have solved all of anakin’s problems but instead he chugged five monster energy drinks, blocked obi wan’s number, and let himself be bamboozled by the dark side

Facebook user Kai Steele posted this in the SWC group; the Maul in the background was apparently an unexpected surprise. 😂😂😅

Kid Anakin is so cute🥺🥺

What do you think?👇🏻👇🏻

Meanwhile Darth Vader and Boba Fett:

Thank you @somestorythoughts for expanding 😂

I saw someone saying how Cody would comb the deserts of Tatooine to find Obi-Wan after going AWOL in The Bad Batch. Somehow, this was the first image that popped into my head:

Please, someone with artistic talent (not me) make fanart of this.

To balance all the stories where Vader force suggests Luke to sleep I think there should be one where Luke has space narcolepsy(tm) and Vader has to keep force suggesting him awake for crucial points in the narrative. In this fic I will-

Ezra and Fulcrum’s Wacky Adventure

Ezra’s attempt to save Ahsoka on Malachor by fucking around with space-time goes wonky, and the two of them end up in the first year of TCW… with Vader in pursuit.

“You’re Ahsoka… from the future?”

“Sure am, Skyguy.”

“And that’s your padawan.”

“A friend’s padawan. His master died recently, and I’m keeping an eye on him until we figure something out.”

“Right, right… and, uh, mister tall, Dark, and horrifying?”

“Oh, that’s future you.”

“…”

“Yeah, Palpatine’s a Sith Lord and he’s been grooming you for a decade. Shit’s fucked. Anyway, get ready to jump, Vader’s gaining on us.”

I just have this mental image of hyper-competent “I am no Jedi” Fulcrum leading 20yo Anakin and angstiest ever Ezra on a merry ride called “avoid Vader before he kills us all.”

Was supposed to be a warmup but eh…

"Part of [creating the Obi-Wan Kenobi series] was interfacing with George. Early on, there was a conversation had with George over his thoughts were, and whether or not honestly he would balk at the whole concept of 'we're taking Obi-Wan and Vader again and we're doing this [storyline]'. And he was a hundred percent supportive. And I've heard tell that it's been one of his favorite things that's come out of Star Wars, because he recognizes so much of what he did in the prequels basically brought forward and celebrated." --Pablo Hidalgo, Full of Sith podcast #VINDICAAAAAATIOOOOONNNN #THE OBI-WAN KENOBI SERIES NAILED BEING AN EXTENSION OF THE PREQUELS #FROM THE AESTHETIC DETAILS OF FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY TO THE THEMES OF THESE CHARACTERS #THAT SHOW UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT #AND I'M GOING TO STAPLE THIS TO EVERYONE'S DOOR OUT OF SHEER GLEE THAT GEORGE LUCAS AGREES

the way vader absolves obi-wan’s guilt over killing anakin but at the cost of really rubbing in the fact that every last piece of anakin is truly dead and gone

I CAN’T EVEN GIF THIS SCENE, IT’S TOO MUCH.  The intensity of it, the absolute badass fight scene, contrasted against how sad this fight is. It’s truly a successor to the Mustafar fight from Revenge of the Sith, which is a fight that none other in Star Wars has yet to beat when it comes to dramatics and emotional impact going hand in hand. We have these two just flinging each other around, Obi-Wan and Vader know each other intimately, they weave and twist around each other all throughout the fight, even ten years later when they’ve both been so worn down or twisted by their time separated, they still know each other.  They are still surprisingly evenly matched.  They still are each others’ vulnerabilities. No one can fight each other like these two fight each other. The fight was incredible, it was epic, and yet the core remains these moments. This is the heart of the fight, of their relationship, of the series. One of absolute and utter sorrow. These two are larger than life, incredibly iconic characters, it would be so easy to get lost in how epic they are and how incredible this fight was.  Obi-Wan was flinging him around like a rag doll!  Vader was destroying the ground right under their feet!  Obi-Wan lifted approximately five hundred rocks to fling at him!  Vader crashed down on him like a tidal wave!  Obi-Wan slammed into him until he literally took Vader apart! But that’s not the heart of the fight.  This is.  The pain, the loss, the tragedy, the sorrow of what Anakin had become.  Obi-Wan so desperately wants Anakin to come back, to see his old friend again, there is no question that he would help Anakin Skywalker back to the light.  He reaches out with compassion when he sees Vader’s face, “I’m sorry.  I’m sorry, Anakin.  For all of it.”  He sees Vader and it breaks his heart, he cries for this broken man, he would do whatever he could to help set it right. Again, this could have been a badass moment where Vader leans into epic, undiluted rage.  But the dark side isn’t just rage.  it’s also fear.  And pain.  And suffering.  That cutting Vader open to see the core of him isn’t just going to show us something cool and awesome, but someone sad.  Someone lost in the dark.  Someone suffering and afraid.  Someone who says, “I am what remains.” as a lamentation of what he has become just as much as a vow. When Obi-Wan cries for the death of his friend, we understand that some part of him still hoped, so desperately, that his friend would return.  For years he couldn’t let go because Anakin’s death haunted him, he couldn’t live without the guilt and loss and suffering of having lost Anakin.  But then Anakin is alive.  And he’s done terrible things, but Obi-Wan can’t want him deal, Obi-Wan still loves him, some part of Obi-Wan is still holding on, because he wants his friend to come back. But seeing Vader’s face, seeing that he knows this is the way of pain and suffering, but he’s choosing it anyway, Obi-Wan has to let go.  His friend is truly dead.  And it’s a loss.  For all that this was an incredible battle between two powerful Force users who know each other intimately, the scene ends on loss and one letting go, while the other still clings to their pain. We cannot help but remember Anakin Skywalker, the brilliant and shining young man that we all loved, that Obi-Wan loved so much.  We cannot help but think of their parting on Mustafar, where Obi-Wan won the fight previously as well, that that too was an epic battle that ended in sorrow.  Anakin flinging hateful words at him, but Obi-Wan only had tears and “I loved you.” for him. This scene is the successor to that moment on Mustafar.  “I’m so sorry.  For all of it.  My friend is truly dead.  Goodbye, Darth.” and Obi-Wan still can’t kill him, even when maybe he should, but he has to let go, this cannot consume him anymore.  He walked away on Mustafar, thinking he’d killed Anakin, but taking the weight of it with him.  This time, he walks away knowing Vader lives, but leaving the weight behind with him. For Obi-Wan, this is the completion of the circle of letting go.  He’ll still offer Vader one more chance on the Death Star, will hold his weapon up instead of in position, will let Vader make the choice, will give him one more piece of advice in a warning, but it is here that Obi-Wan lets go of the weight in his soul that was holding on to Anakin Skywalker. And all of it is a tragedy, Darth Vader is terrifying, we see him do impossibly brutal and terrible things, but when you cut him open, he is weak, he is miserable, and he keeps himself prisoner in the dark despite that he knows what it’s doing to him.  And it’s so sad.  None of us should ever want to be Darth Vader, no matter how cool he can sometimes be. Because, at his core, he is nothing but fear, misery, pain, and suffering.

Much like Darth Vader, I too have an unhealthy obsession with Obi-Wan Kenobi. I mean have you seen him

imagine being darth vader waiting LITERALLY twenty years to kill obi wan kenobi. revenge is one of the few things keeping you going. your time finally comes when your old master boards the death star. and instead of putting up a proper fight he lets you strike him down and has the audacity to disappear into thin air leaving only his fucking robes! how utterly unsatisfying. obi wan knew what he was doing. that lil smirk said it all. he asked himself, am I the drama? why yes! and poofed out of existence

I'm watching obi wan kenobi with my dad, and he was talking about how the stakes are low because you know they all survive but then he said,"You know Darth Vader isn't going to find Obi Wan"

And I-

Dramatic.

Obi-Wan calling Anakin "Dearheart" or "Dear one" in fanfictions is something I live for

Eeth Koth's daughter and the Grand Inquisitor holding her biological father's lightsaber

Eeth Koth's daughter as a grown up

This is my version of Eeth Koth's daughter and how she would have grown. We only saw her as baby in the Darth Vader comics but even today we don't know her fate. Most probably she was raised by the inquisitors and indoctrinated by their beliefs but after the fall of the Empire she realized that she was manipulated and used as a weapon. She joined a more peaceful life as a Jedi after learning about her father's story and the old jedi order.

How to describe Star Wars movies in few words:

Padmé: I believe there is still good in him.

Luke: I believe there is still good in him.

Rey: I believe there is still good in him.
