Everything’s fine smooches

The Clone Wars + MCU quotes 6/? 🤍

Being a fan of Star Wars is a constant flip flop between fanatic emotional innvolvement and disheartening but unsurprised disappointment.

I LOVE THIS SCENE A LOT???  I mean, it’s super painful because it’s complicated for all of them–I understand why Anakin feels betrayed, because he takes everything so incredibly personally, that he has trouble parsing the difference between what Obi-Wan’s duty is versus Obi-Wan’s personal loyalty to him, that duty and saving lives might actually take precedence over that personal loyalty. Then you have Obi-Wan who understands that this is difficult, but he can put other people’s lives above personal loyalty, that it’s never that he didn’t care, but that he saw a situation where there was something more important than how Anakin would feel about this, no matter how much he cared about Anakin’s feelings, too. BUT IT’S ALSO A REALLY COOL LITTLE SCENE because Anakin is in full rage mode, wanting to kill the person who killed Obi-Wan, he’s ready to do some Serious Murder here and “Rako Hardeen” just absolutely wipes the floor with him.  Even when Anakin gets in a few hits, Obi-Wan flips him right back over and puts him to the ground. Which is fascinating–is Obi-Wan just that much better at hand-to-hand combat than Anakin?  Is it that he knows Anakin so well that he can mop the floor with him like this?  Is it that Anakin’s rage makes him sloppy and unfocused?  Probably some combination of all of the above? It always invites parallels to Mustafar for me, where Obi-Wan spends so much of the time not actually fighting back against Anakin so much as giving ground to try to give Anakin time to come to his senses.  That, part of what allows him to win there is that he knows Anakin so well that he beats him in that fight, that Anakin’s powers should make him at the peak of his entire life thus far (because, in so many ways, Vader may do more grand gestures, but George Lucas was always clear that Vader NEVER reached Anakin’s true potential), but Obi-Wan won that fight pretty thoroughly. Again, to some degree, Anakin’s rage and arrogance made him sloppy, that part of it is Obi-Wan is an incredibly disciplined Jedi who has mastered himself and his style, but a lot of it is just, yeah, holy shit, Obi-Wan is really fucking good. It also makes me think of Naboo, where Qui-Gon was a Jedi Master and still fell to Maul’s attacks, showing that Maul was indeed a powerful and well-trained fighter.  Yet, Obi-Wan still wins that fight as well, even when he probably uses the Force through anger and hurt and suffering (the dark side), he still is good enough and disciplined enough that he ultimately wipes the floor with Maul, too. It also makes me think of his fight against Maul and Savage at the same time, where they’ve both been established as incredibly dangerous fighters, they’ve both killed Jedi before, and Obi-Wan not only holds them both off at the same time, but he even does serious damage to them!

LOOK AT THIS SHIT, THAT’S THE HOTTEST THING EVER AND ALSO HOLY FUCK HOW DID HE NOT DIE, MUCH LESS COME OUT AHEAD IN THAT FIGHT!? A lot of it is about the context of the fights he gets into, but also just OBI-WAN KENOBI IS REALLY FUCKING GOOD IN A FIGHT. THIS IS A GUY WHO KNOWS HOW TO FUCKING MOVE. YOU ALWAYS WANT THIS GUY ON YOUR SIDE, HOLY SHIT.

Also after those 212th lunatics + Cody dogpiled General Fucking Grievous and somehow didn’t get killed, the story spread through the troops and soon it became a little game they would play in the barracks, break rooms or even at the training rooms.

It’s similar to tag, except one clone will scream in kenobi’s accent “hello there, [clone]!” It’s on. The clone whose name was called is now Grievous. And the clone who called them is now Obi-Wan.

The “grievous” clone will have to try and get to the cone that tagged him. All and any nearby clone HAS to dogpile him before he manages to reach their “general”.

There are bonus points if you do it at a most unexpected/inconvenient moment, like when people are getting their caff in the break room.

Or when everyone knows there’ll soon be a C.O. coming over to inspect them and the game must end as fast as possible so they can all be standing in attention and looking only mildly disheveled by the time he gets there.

Most of the time it is Boil who ends up groaning with pain under a pile of cheering vode while Waxer - who tagged him - laughs his ass off.

Hey! really love ur obi wan and ahsoka au. especially love the cody ahsoka interactions. It got me thinking tho, about order 66? would ahsoka have been on Utapau with obi? imagine the order coming through tho :( I just wanna make u sad with me now.
