Yeah you’ve seen the Twin Suns, but what about the three moons?

Happy Star Wars Day! Enjoy one of my favorite ship in all of existence: two grown men and a baby that happens to be older than them <3
May the Force be with you! <3
[ID: A digital drawing of Boba Fett, Din Djarin and Grogu from Star Wars. Boba and Din stand in front of each other, looking at one another with Grogu being held by Din between them. They look at each other and Boba has his arm up, hovering over Din’s elbow. The suns are setting behind the viewer making everything, especially Din’s armor, glow pink. Tatooine’s three moons rise behind them from the sand dunes, one for each of them and, gold lines reminiscent of old star maps mark the sky. End ID]

May the fourth be with you
*Look, we’re only going to talk about the original Star Wars films. No I don’t care that they are technically parts IV, V, and VI. I really don’t. Also please note that Crusaders aren’t actually the good guys in the story of the Crusades.

Original Catchy Slogan:
Star Wars: May the Force Be With You
Crusades:Deus Vult
Intervention as a result of a direct request

Old dude acting as mentor/instigator/quote originator
Star Wars: Obi Wan Kenobi
Crusades: Pope Urban II
Rag-tag army of true believers
Star Wars: The Rebels

May the 4th be with you!

I don’t know what to expect from the anime-inspired Star Wars show that’s coming, but that’s how I imagine Hux will look like if he should appear. Because in every medium, that is not the movies, he looks like a potato version.

Guys we as a fandom really need to make better use of carbonite as a plot device
This fandom is full of time travel fix it AUs but none of them move forward!! Literally just freeze ur character of choice for a few decades and BOOM!
You can have clone troopers fighting the 1st order. Ahsoka dating Rey. Windu smacking Crylo Ren. So many possibilities.
Dibs on Obi-Wan tho!! My plan is to have Hondo freeze him as a joke but then the empire happens so he throws a tablecloth over him for like 2 decades and sort of forgets about it until he meets Ezra or Luke or someone and he’s like “y'know speaking of Jedi…”
So you’ve got a weakened and carbon-blind Obi-Wan in his late 30s suddenly leading the rebellion because none of these people have any actual galactic military experience (undoubtedly why Palpatine had 2 proxy armies, so that there would be no effective military resistance after he killed all the Jedi and brainwashed the clones). The galaxy went to utter shit just a few weeks after he’d been frozen, the Jedi are dead, Ahsoka’s off on a vision quest, Yoda’s living in a mud hut, the chancellor is a power-mad dictator and also a Sith, and this is somehow ALL Anakin’s fault.
So Obi-Wan has to lead a ragtag group of rebels, train a princess and a farm boy (who act disconcertingly familiar), dodge various bounty hunters who want the bounty of the century (including Boba Fett), deal with an elderly Hondo Ohnaka, contend with being a living legend who’s the galaxy’s only hope, and smack some sense into his idiot padawan.
Bonus for fun: Obi-Wan saves Alderaan and sees Bail again and asks if he’d been frozen in carbonite too. He’s barely aged a day! Bail has to explain that he just has a better skincare routine.
Bonus for angst: there’s a very determined storm trooper trying to hunt him down. There’s nothing familiar left in his Force signature, just a single-minded determination to follow orders, but the battered armor he wears looks like it’s been scraped of an orange sunburst.
Bonus for crack: once it’s all over and done he gets hunted down by ANOTHER famous bounty hunter who dangles Yoda’s grandchild in his face and demands that he train him.
These are all really great ideas!
