Comment on “Fixed” — A Star Wars tale

    Yup, it was about them. And as a Christian who considers sex to be sacred - and even though I understand that the vast majority of western society does not hold the same view - it was kinda hard to swallow.

    Yeah... Legends really is... a mixed bag, to put it nicely. Yeah my issue with many time travel stories is that they all make Anakin, Obi-Wan or even more Jedi or Shmi Mando??? Like, even Tano and Kenobi is kinda starting to do that :/ I mean, not that Mandalorian culture is wrong but why has everything got to be about them? It's not like they're even that big of a deal in the movies. (As in: they're never even named in the movies, nor do they appear in them because Jango and Boba weren't even really Mandalorians according to Pablo Hidalgo and TCW)

    "So yeah, a substantial part of Anakin's problems was his inability to really adapt to his new environment and his lack of ability to actually trust and reach out to the people who cared about him." - Yup. And of course those issues probably stem from slavery, but it's not things that weren't immediately noticeable and that the Jedi somehow failed to address. They're subtle, insidious character flaws that you can't just fix with more love, more cuddles and more leniency, as it's often proposed.

    Hehhhh, I'm not super Soft Wars. I'm not into Codywan, for one thing. If you want to see Anakin grow tho, definitely check out Ibelin's "Life and What Comes After" verse. There's even a bit about the Tuskens.

      May I recommend "Of Queens, Knights, and Pawns" by chancecraz, or if you want something prequel era, "Shifting Sands" by chancecraz and "Like Fire In Our Bones" by acuteneurosis. Leia is quite possibly the best time-traveling fixer ever, because:

      1. She doesn't know or care about the restrictions of the Jedi Order, and has no interest in being a Jedi. But even less interest in being a Sith.
      2. She is Not Impressed with Anakin Skywalker, but 100% invested in Making Him Fix His Own Shit. Similarly, she's squicked by Anakin's inept flirting with Padmé, but accepts it as a fact of life.
      3. She is good at many things, among them pissing people off. Even people on her side. But she's so freaking competent and inspiring!
      4. The Snark Side is strong with her. And she gets to disdainfully ask Dooku, "Aren't you a little short for a Sith Lord?"

      Have either you or Look For Miracles read the fic below it’s pretty funny...

      Chancellor Zilobist
      BoliTheSenate

      Summary:
      Commander Fox of the Coruscant Guard hates his job, or rather; he hates what Chancellor Palpatine turned his job into. He hates the unreasonable demands, the tons of paperwork and he hates having to forge Palpatines signature on a daily basis.
      So, when he sees an oportunity to appoint a new Chancellor, he takes it.

      And in Fox' opinion things have only improved so far, no matter what the other Commanders say.
