Okay it’s been weeks but I can NOT get over how the final Clone Wars arc started with Obi-Wan saving Cody, then Anakin comes and saves the both of them.
Knowing what happens a week later...
I had to pause it and take a second to get myself together because MY HEART.
Headcanon that when the clone troopers were made into stormtroopers after Order 66, they purposefully missed their shots because it was the most they could do to fight against the influence of the chips, which is what gave stormtroopers the reputation of being bad shots.
Purge Trooper Cody finally finds Obi-wan on Tatooine and is about to Take the Shot til he sees obi chug caf straight from the caf maker and not go to bed for the following 25 hours and cody jusr motherhens himself out of the chips control with sheer willpower to get that dumbass to Sleep
this is so funny, like
purge trooper cody has a simple mission on tatooine and randomly sees obi-wan buying a plum or something at the market and goes full !!! gotta follow him
so he follows him to his hut and observes him for a while just to see obi-wan never ever going near is bed, eating junk and swallowing liters of coffee in a span of minutes and listen, cody could have killed him right there and then but he still has a minimum of honor so he can't just shoot a dehydrated idiot man who's in absolutely no condition to fight, so naturally he has to enter the hut and passive-aggressively cook that man a soup
obi-wan has no idea what's going on but he's vibing
the clones think that anakins the wild one and obi wans calm and a bit uptight. until one day, when a bored anakin decides to prank obi wan. something stupid, like putting glue on his space spoon. the clones are mortified. but the next day obi wan mimics a krayt dragon to wake up (scare the shit out of) anakin. a prank war begins and it escalates rapidly. by the end, anakins hair is green and sparkly, obi wans beard is shaved off, and the 212th and 501st now understand: they’re both idiots
the new clones assigned to the 212th always say “wow general kenobi is so calm and collected, so reasonable, it’s almost soothing to be with him, what a great general to have” and then after two days general kenobi arrives in the mess deck half-clothed in pink and missing parts of his beard while shouting “gentlemen we are murdering someone today, I hope you’re all ready for a little treason” and the shinies are all “???” but Cody only sighs and says “general please we talked about this, we can’t kill general skywalker, please do it in your own free time if you really need to”
Jesse is telling a funny story and Kix is making faces behind his shoulder to go with it, so yeah, Hardcase is dying. Even the harsher trainings hadn't made his abs hurt as much.
Mandalorian version of Cinderella where the Cinderella figure is a little foundling who was taken in by a noble clan but only for appearances, they're actually mean to them and don't bother training and outfitting them the way they absolutely morally should, but they're plucky and persistent and learn everything they can by observing and practising alone, and then one day there's an announcement of a grand fighting tournament in honour of the new Mandalore, and everyone's very excited and sprucing up their armour for the occasion and the foundling asks if maybe they could go and they get cruelly laughed at and told that of course they can't go, they have no family and therefore they have no armour
so the foundling is left behind while they all go off to have fun
but THEN the Fairy Armourer appears and says "You SHALL go to the tournament!"
and like
picks up a bucket and it magically becomes a beskar helmet
completely outfits them with transformed household objects and sends them on their way with the standard time limit warning, in this case until sunset
they go to the tournament and it is wonderful and they WIN FIGHTS and catch the Mandalore's eye and get invited up to spar with them!
and it's a Very Romantic Fight but just as they've got the Mandalore pinned down they realise the golden light of sunset is shining off their beskar and they have to scram
so they're running off and they trip and lose a shoe and just keep going and that's all the Mandalore finds
and fortunately the Mandalore was a bounty hunter before ascending the throne so they quickly hunt down the mysterious and beautiful stranger without having to ask a lot of randoms to try on a shoe, and they live happily ever after!
Glitch was supposed to be a throwaway character but now I’m Attached™️ and in the process of making him a whole squad.
Empire-controlled Kamino is a lot stricter than in the Jedi days, no hair cuts, no tattoos, so when he’s busted out he absolutely goes wild. At one point Waxer has to intervene because he’s fried his hair from bleaching and re-dying it too many times (as a medic he should know better but...), so he settles on shaving different patterns into the side.
[Image ID: A digital painting of Star Wars: The Clone Wars character, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody. They’re facing the viewer, walking together on the right side of the canvas, on a rainy Coruscant day. Obi-Wan is in his season 7 Jedi outfit, and Cody is wearing a grey naval officer uniform, often referred to as “dress greys” by fandom. He’s carrying the cap, and both he and Obi-Wan are holding Obi-Wan’s large, outer Jedi robe over their heads to shelter from the rain. Their faces are turned toward each other while they walk. A wide Coruscant sidewalk with tall buildings on the right side diminishes into the distance behind them. Streetlamps line the sidewalk, and on the left the sidewalk drops off to reveal another level below. A small foot bridge crosses the gap, going off the canvas, toward another sidewalk and more buildings. Several lanes of speeder traffic trail off to the same vanishing point as the buildings and sidewalk, and a few other pedestrians walk or run through the rain. The scene is mostly blue-green and grey, but the lamps cast warm orange light on the nearby figures. End ID.]
Cody and Obi-Wan got caught in the rain while walking back from some undoubtedly boring diplomatic engagement.
This takes place in the Reconstruction Corps AU, some time after That’s not how it happened. This is how it happened, but before Orbital Decay. Ugh, they’re so in love, I hate them. :)

I just finished re-reading A Star to Steer By for the fourth (fifth? maybe?) time and I just had to draw Ahsoka and Host Echo.
Of course they had to be in Ahsoka’s signature pose 😁
