Anonymous asked: Could you do some aro edits for Hondo Ohnaka from the Clone Wars?
Who needs romantic attraction when you could have profit?
@fandomshateaspecs is working on getting #aromantic trending for 9/14-15/19. Send in your arospec headcanons for Star Wars characters, and I’ll do my best to get some icons/lockscreens/headers made and posted when I can! Specify which type of edit(s) you want please, or you’ll probably get something random.
The Star Wars shows really increase the rewatchability of the films cause the extra context just adds so much to them. For example seeing Maul get cut in half with the knowledge that he survives and ends up as a crazy spider hobo on a junkyard planet for the next 12 years is fucking hilarious. Watching Vader’s confusion over Obi-wan disappearing as he dies with the knowledge that just 3 years prior he fought Ahsoka who ALSO vanished into thin air, albeit for completely different reasons, so basically every time Vader fights one of his ex-friends they end up just sorta proofing out of it. The fact that A New Hope was NOT the first time Obi-wan found an unconscious teenage boy and his astromech in the middle of the desert. The fact that Grievous pulled the “hello there” move on Obi-wan a full 2 years before rots meaning Obi-wan waited TWO YEARS for the perfect opportunity to do it back to him. The fact that Ezra Bridger happened to run into almost every major character from the original trilogy before the events of those movies actually happened. The fact that Anakin and Boba Fett actually first met not during tesb but rather during the Clone Wars when Boba was like 11 and got arrested for blowing up a cruiser to get revenge on Mace. The fact that Hondo was alive all the way from before episode 1 all the way to the sequel era like seriously how long is his lifespan cause that’s a timeline of over 60 years and his appearance barely ever changed. The Star Wars shows are a gift.
I have a very spicy and galaxy-brained take that none of you are prepared for but I’m gonna say it anyway.
To clarify: In Star Wars: the Clone Wars season 1 episodes 11 and 12 “Dooku Captured” and “The Gungan General” (2009), Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi meet Hondo Ohnaka for the first time when they, along with Count Dooku, are captured and held for ransom by him. This establishes the dynamic between Anakin, Obi-Wan and Hondo. Later, in season 5 episode 5 “Tipping Points” (2012), the conclusion to the Onderon story arc, since the Jedi and the Republic cannot directly interfere with the Onderon Rebellion, Anakin pays Hondo to deliver heavy weapons to the Onderon rebels so that the rebels will get the reinforcements they need but Republic will have plausible deniability, so overall Hondo has a small but very impactful role in the Onderon arc. The Onderon arc is crucial to the backstory and overall character arc of Saw Gerrera, who eventually becomes a huge pain in the Empire’s ass, but most notably raises and trains Jyn Erso, who then goes on to lead the mission to steal the plans for the first Death Star. In addition, Dooku later sends Grievous to destroy Hondo’s stronghold to get payback which is the beginning of how Hondo eventually loses his crew, which results in him eventually meeting Ezra Bridger, thus getting involved with the Rebellion, and in Star Wars: Rebels season 3 episodes 1 and 2 “Steps Into Shadow Parts 1 and 2″ (2017), Hondo informs the growing Rebellion of some old Republic Y-Wings in the possession of the Empire and helps them steal the Y-Wings before the Empire dismantles them. Those Y-Wings later become a key part of the Rebel Alliance fleet, and are the SAME Y-Wings used during the battle against the first Death Star. In conclusion, if Hondo Ohnaka had not decided to hold two Jedi and a Sith Lord hostage to make a quick million that one time, then the Death Star would never have been destroyed.
I hope Bo Katan just keeps showing up once or twice a decade to be like “shit, I lost Mandalore. Again. But this time for REAL I am going to reclaim it, yep, that’s it, just gotta find the Darksaber and I will DEFINITELY be all set. Seventeenth time’s the charm!”

Hondo:I’m sick and tired of being called ‘mortal’ like, you don’t know that. Neither do I. I have never died even ONCE. Nothing has been proven yet. Stop making assumptions. It’s rude.
