    Summary

    Old Ben Kenobi abides by Owen’s wishes and doesn’t teach Luke to use the Force.

    But he accidentally ends up teaching other things, starting with Mon Calamari legends, and moving on through the languages, histories, and cardgames of the galaxy. The Jedi, after all, taught so much more than just how to swing a lightsaber, or even their own philosophies.

    Luke loves to learn. He soaks up information like a sponge, and makes brilliant deductions, but sometimes those leaps of logic might be… a little bit off. Like when he decides that Ben is obviously Mandalorian.

    Summary

    An unnatural storm in 1815 throws a British regency-era naval expedition, and the troops they carry, into the world of Westeros at the outbreak of the War of Five Kings, trapping them in a life-or-death struggle to survive, and find their way home. Written as a thought experiment - how would an early 19th century military and political force change Westeros? How would Westeros change them?

    Summary

    On an industrial world shaped by the Clone Wars, Kurtze Mac joins the Imperial Navy to escape the life his father had chosen for him. At Prefsbelt Naval Academy, he becomes part of an elite unit trained for missions that leave no trace.

    They are efficient. They are loyal. And they are already breaking the rules.

    As their reputation grows, so does the cost of their success—until the system they serve begins to turn inward.

    Because in the Empire, mistakes are punished. But competence can be worse.

    Summary

    “In my experience, there is no such thing as luck.”

    A small series of Star Wars meta-posts centered around the question what we can learn about the force, if we take Obi-Wan by his word and assume that Lucas placed every plot point and narrative development in his movies on purpose. In this case the force functions as an in-universe explanation for a morality led movie-narrative. Which means the force becomes equal to the will of the artist who punishes the characters for what is considered wrong and rewards them for actions considered right.

    What the force considers right and wrong, through, is one of the most wildly speculated about questions in the fandom. The following is my contribution to this discussion.
