If You're Still Taking Writing Requests, How About "this Is You Thinking Rationally?" For The Star Wars

If you're still taking writing requests, how about "this is you thinking rationally?" for the Star Wars fandom?

Absolutely. Sweetness 😊 thank you for being my first request.

          The siege is going fine, okay? Maybe their initial push had a higher casualty count then expected, and sure Obi-Wan’s reinforcements weren’t going to come for another several days. But Anakin isn’t worried. He has no reason to be worried, because everything is going fine. “Sir we lost the nineteenth battalion.” Rex reported. Dammit! Okay maybe things weren’t so ‘fine’ after all. In truth the plan was for his invasion force to have taken double as much ground has they have by now. They need to gain control of the valley and surrounding mountains or else Obi-Wan won’t have anywhere to land his ships. Anakin was loosing men to quickly, the droid opposition was heavier than he expected. “Hold position, Rex. We can’t back down now.” Not that they could back down, since the 501st legion was dropped here with no retreat plan. In other words they have no way off the planet. Anakin was wracking his brain to figure out how they were gonna win this. The valley was essentially a basin surrounded by midsize mountains. If certain choke points on the mountain range is held by republic forces they will have a highly defensible position to land the 212th legion and continue their ground assault. But the problem was these choke points were under droid control, which meant that Anakin and his men were sitting ducks fighting up hill. If only he could get the high ground… Anakin ducked behind cover to give himself a moments rest, he was getting tired. And his Padawan was almost certainly more so. “Master, do you have another plan? Because I don’t think this one is working.” Anakin knew Ahsoka was using a snippy tone to disguise her anxiety but Anakin couldn’t help but snap back. “Not unless the coke points move about two clicks behind us!” As soon as the words left his mouth Anakin had an idea. Why can’t he move the choke points them selves further down the mountains? And Anakin had an idea of how to do it. “Rex! Contact Admiral Yularen. Tell him I need four precision bombardments.” “Uhhh… right away sir.” Rex answered hesitantly, and started to retreat back down the mountain to make the call. Ahsoka, on the other hand whirled around with her eyes wider than tea saucers. “What? Are you insane?” She demanded. “Think about it rationally Snips. We can’t move any farther up the mountains, so we’re going to get rid of the rest of the mountain. Ashoka gawked. Her jaw opened and closed rapidly. But Anakin didn’t bother waiting for her to find her words. “Fives, Echo, Hardcase! You boys are with Rex. You’re gonna make a run around the enemy and place beacons for precision strikes three clicks past each choke point.” “Have you told him that, sir?” Echo asked over the blaster fire. “You can tell him.” Anakin answered. “This is ‘rational’ to you?” Anakin grinned at his young Padawan, she had only been assigned to him for a month now she had much to learn. Apparently his winning smile was not enough reassurance for her. Rex was coming back up the hill with a new back pack, which probably had the beacons in them. “Rex, are you sure this is a good idea?” She asked the captain, looking for reassurance.” Rex tossed the back pack to Fives. “ I trust the General.” “That did not answer my question.” Anakin decided to interrupt there. “Rex I need you to go with Fives, Hardcase, and Echo. They’ll fill you in.” Rex saluted and hustled off. 

           The 501st held out for another hour and a half before the bombardment began. Eight republic warships fired with computer precision at each beacon causing a chain reaction in the mountains. The other side of the mountains avalanched taking the choke points with them, creating new choke points behind Anakin’s men. The clones whooped and cheered. Ahsoka still seemed utterly stunned when it worked. Anakin decided to personally commemorate the clones who placed the beacons himself. Rex has earned himself some early shore leave. When Obi-WAN and his reinforcements arrived he looked at the mountains surrounding the valley and frowned. “I thought they’d be taller...” Anakin pretended not to hear him.
