Reasons For A Disaster Lineage Member To Pick* A Fight With God:

Reasons for a disaster lineage member to pick* a fight with God:

* a god/God picking the fight doesn’t count, Mortis

Yoda: He’s just been alive a very long time and sometimes he needs something fresh to have fun.

Dooku: He just died and is playing chess with some deity in order to avoid the shittiest afterlife.

Rael: He may be high and not realize that fighting God is the thing he is doing.

Qui-Gon: Philosophy debate that got out of hand.

Komari: Cult reasons.

Ventress: Is NOT fighting any gods, thank you very much.

Feemor: Qui-Gon put him up to it.

Xanatos: How Dare You

Obi-Wan: It happened while he was on Tatooine and honestly he doesn’t want to talk about it.

Anakin: When is he NOT down to fight a god? Multiple gods, even? He might be running on no sleep and the power of the Dark Side and also Sith Chemicals, OR he might be fifteen and on his eighth can of Space Red Bull while he works on an engineering thesis paper, OR he’s just been confronted with the inevitability of death again.

Ahsoka: Literally everything has gone to shit, her life and galaxy are in shambles, she has nothing left to lose, and Morai said to go for it.

Luke: He is not fighting any gods, he said No Thank You and left the room.

Drunken commanders discussing the best way to kill the chancellor

I know I've said this here before but I frequently view Anidala through the lens of WWII marriages. Situations where young soldiers got married after incredibly short courtships, because they were so uncomfortably aware of their own mortality.

There are a lot of war marraiges with the same angle,but WWII is the one that comes to mind due to a specific video I've seen, along with Revolutionary War I guess.

(Similarly to viewing Cliegg/Shmi through the lens of frontier marriages)

Anakin's logic process to me is:

I just lost my arm and very easily could have lost my life. So many of the Jedi did lose their lives. I could die at any moment.

I love Padme and I want to marry her. I do not want to die before I can marry her.

I cannot marry her publicly, because I may have to leave the Jedi, and there are thousands of lives relying on me to remain a Jedi.

If I remain in the war without being a Jedi, I will be less effective.

I cannot wait until after the war to get married and leave the Jedi, because I might be dead by then.

Let's elope.

I don't use this justification in every fic but it's the one that makes the most sense to me.

Keep the Jedi Out of It

With input from @atagotiak (Tia), @gelpenss (Gel), and @thisarenotarealblog (Doc).

Standard initial premise: Clones take over the Republic after Fox kills Palpatine.

Fun AU Twist: in order to keep people from trying to fuck over the Jedi, and also as a backup because they trust the Jedi to at least try to save them after the initial hubbub goes down, and also as a bit of a vindication for those who don’t like their Jedi… the clones arrest all the Jedi and just keep them in the brigs etc. until they figure out how to break the news to the galaxy that Palpatine was a bigger problem than previously anticipated.

“Why did the Jedi not stop you?” “Great question! We arrested them.” “…all of them?” “Yes.” “On what grounds?” “On ‘they would have stopped us from killing the Chancellor’ grounds.”

“The Jedi couldn’t stop you from arresting them?” “We just kind of told them ‘here, hold this’ and then put the force cuffs on. It was really easy, actually, they trust us way too much, it’s kinda scary. A few of them passed out without the Force to keep them awake and the medics got pissed they hadn’t been sleeping.” “…you’re saying you did this for their own good?” “No, we did it so we could kill the Chancellor.”
