after the war ends, Obi-Wan desperately wants to quit the Council, but Mace keeps rejecting his resignations
so Obi-Wan decides to take matters into his own hands: if he can’t resign formally, he’s going to get himself kicked off
he starts by showing up to Council meetings intoxicated, and wearing increasingly outrageous (and frequently revealing) clothing
when his own efforts fail to get any reaction out of Mace, he recruits outside assistance
he sends Anakin wearing a fake beard and mustache to attend as him (which has the side benefit of convincing Anakin that he never, ever, wants anything to do with the Council)
Cody attends wearing Obi-Wan’s clothes and lightsaber, but making no other attempt to disguise himself
Quinlan breaks in during a meeting, makes out with Obi-Wan for two minutes straight, then smashes through a window to make his daring escape
Ahsoka does her best Hondo impression and shows up to kidnap Obi-Wan in the middle of a session, with Rex and the Bad Batch (in their normal, full armor) as her dastardly pirate crew
and while certain members of the Council are outraged, Obi-Wan still can’t even get Mace to consider his resignation
of course, Mace isn’t going to tell Obi-Wan that his efforts have backfired: this is the most entertainment Mace has had in YEARS, he’s wasn’t letting Obi-Wan quit before he started this, and now at least half the reason is that he wants to see what Obi-Wan’ll try next

It’s so much fun to imagine this scenario with all of your favorite fanfic AUs.
APPARENTLY ANAKIN HAS HAD ENOUGH TANTRUMS THAT HE IMMEDIATELY KNOWS “TAKE A SEAT, YOUNG SKYWALKER” MEANS “GO TO YOUR DESK AND COLOR OUT YOUR FEELINGS UNTIL YOU CALM DOWN” (BECAUSE HE IMMEDIATELY DOES IT AND IS COLORING THE ENTIRE MEETING) AND LEGO STAR WARS IS THE ONLY STAR WARS I WILL ACCEPT ANYMORE
The Funniest Possible Star War: an AU where the Kaminoans get wise just a LITTLE earlier.
Like. Instead of waiting until the inhibitor chips are activated and the Empire is already ascendant to realize that the Galactic Empire absolutely will not allow there to be a planet that mass-produces clone armies for the highest bidder, they have this realization BEFORE Order 66 goes out.
AU where the Kaminoan government looks at their position, looks at the likely fallout, and weighs their futures under a Galactic Empire to whom they are a threat that has outlived its usefulness VS a grateful but still slow-moving Republic, with all its factions and legalities intact, its social mores primarily unchanged….its army filled with thinking, feeling men to whom Kamino is their homeworld and who are in control of their free will and thus capable of refusing orders that strike at their own hearts…its main enemy in the form of the Separatist Alliance neutralized but not utterly annihilated, ripe for both sides being played against the middle…
And quietly, about six weeks before Knightfall, without telling anyone, just…..deactivates the chips. Sends out a pulse via comm channel designed to fry or alter them. Remote killswitch. Something like that.
So Palpatine like. He’s WON. He’s TRIUMPHANT. He kills the Jedi strike team, gets Anakin to kill Mace Windu, names his new apprentice Vader, has him swear allegiance, sends him to wipe out the Jedi, goes all “COMMANDER CODEEEE”
“exEcUtE oRDeR SIxtY sIx”
and
nothing
happens.
Cody politely asks for clarification because that’s not a term in the GAR manual, sir, apologies. Long pause. Cody equally politely apologizes and explains that he’s in a pitched battle, sir, but I’m sure the General will contact you when we’ve taken the planet.
[Palpatine voice] “Hwat.”
He hits the next button on his carefully-curated Order 66 contact booklet for the high-priority targets he wants taken out before the general transmission so they don’t get any warning. He sits impatiently through the tinkly elevator music.
“COMMANDER REX EXECUTE ORDER 66″
Rex blinks, explains he’s not familiar with that code, sir, but Rex is a little less polite than Cody due to long-term exposure to Anakin Skywalker, and has the presence of mind to also point out that the Supreme Chancellor isn’t even technically IN the GAR chain of command, he’s a CIVILIAN leader, what’s going on–
Palpatine hangs up on him.
Okay, fine, whatever. Annoying but not unsurpassable, those two were ALWAYS an irritant, their clone commanders must have done something to the chips, it WAS a clone from Skywalker’s battalion who nearly discovered them after all. He’ll take out the rest of the Council and the all-call general transmission will take out the rest of the Order, he can deal with the treacherous 501-B and 212th later–
Shaak Ti’s clone commander asks in abject bewilderment how the Supreme Chancellor even gothis personal comm number. He’s not even on duty. It’s 3am. Half the Council’s clones don’t even respond. Those that do just promise to have their Jedi call back about this Order 66 thing when they’re available.
He sends the general transmission with significantly less gravitas than originally planned.
Heimmediatelystarts getting confused email notifications. Unduli sends a TEXT from some random rank-and-file clone’s comms politely reminding him that she was present for the most recent strategy meeting and there was no operation codenamed Order 66, and reminds him coolly to respect the chain of command. Depa Billaba’s commander not only calls back but actually GETS HER ON COMMS to ask if she knows the term. They patch her padawan into the call to puzzle it out. The padawan asks Palpatine what happened to his face. He sits through three full minutes of playful banter before screaming and cutting the line.
Anakin gets downstairs to kick off Knightfall. The 501st blinks at their orders, exchange long looks, agree wholeheartedly, and stun him in the back the moment he turns around before dragging his ass to the Temple medical wing.

GBN Daily Drop: The Empire Strikes “Black” with Lando Calrissian 42 Years Ago, Making Sci-Fi Film History (LISTEN)
by Lori Lakin Hutcherson (@lakinhutcherson) History was made 42 years ago in May 1980 when the burgeoning Star Wars franchise added the character of Lando Calrissian to its universe played by 1970s heartthrob Billy Dee Williams. To read about it and see links to sources, read on. To hear about it, press PLAY:
It’s been awhile since I posted Randy Martinez’s work. Enjoy these cards, especially the last one, haha, because I didn’t even know I had it until I went through some folders on my laptop. :P
Also, this is like the third time I’ve posted the top card, I try to never repeat my posts, but this post just didn’t look as nice without it.
Here, as I promised you, the detailed list who will explain to you which Disney Characters will play the SW roles!
First all, I decided to named my mashup: Star Quacks, because “Star Ducks” already exists, and “Duck Wars” it’s the title of an existing videogame.
Also I decided to mixed some names (like Goldie+Padmé= Paldie, Drake+Han=Dran, ecc.), and to readapt the others (like Ludwig Von Drake+Obi Wan Kenobi= Obi Von Drake, Flintheart+Palpatine= Sheev Flintheart, ecc.).
Instead of massacring the Jedi and clones at the Temple of Eedit on Devaron, Savage Opress is captured, frozen in carbonite, and brought to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. But what can the Jedi do to counteract the Nightsisters’ magical hold on him?
