(Part 2 of Anakin and Ahsoka’s arrest)
Anakin, on the phone: Hey, can I borrow 5000 credits?
Obi-Wan: Why the fuck do you need 5000 credits?
Anakin: An escape room.
Obi-Wan: What kind of escape room costs 5000 credits?!
Anakin:
Anakin: Jail.
Anakin: Would you slap your best friend for a million credits?
Rex: I would roundhouse kick you in the face for free.
Anakin, tearing up: I'm your best friend.
Galaxy: *Imploding and/or Exploding*
Obi-Wan: Not my circus, not my monkeys. Not my -
Some combination of Anakin and/or Padme and/or Ahsoka and/or The Twins: *anywhere near the chaos, and presumably the cause*
Obi-Wan: Oh... My circus, my monkeys! My circus, my monkeys!
Anakin: I think I’m coming down with something, I’ve been feeling nauseous lately.
Ahsoka: Maybe you’re pregnant.
Anakin:
Ahsoka:
Anakin: I don’t know who’s the bigger idiot right now, you because you suggested it, or me because I just had a heart attack.
did a little paintover of an old design i did for a zine back in 2021 :) gonna make stickers of this soon!
Current working theory on why Rex hesitated and Cody didn’t during O66 is that Ashoka’s status of technically-not-a-Jedi allowed Rex a moment of, like, cognitive dissonance whereas Obi-Wan is one of the Jedi-est Jedi to ever Jedi
Do you love the color of Tatooine?
(I have no idea what color Tatooine is to you. my phone and my laptop display completely different hues)
so we know that Anakin taught Ahsoka how to hold her own against the clones in a fight which ultimately ended up saving her life right?
Well I raise you: Captain Rex didn't get formal pilot training (as mentioned in the Umbara Arc -> Krell: "Are your men pilots now?" Rex:"My men may not be pilots,..." doesn't directly say that Rex isn't trained, but would be a logical assumption, seeing as I don't think the Kaminoans would waste resources training a Captain who won't be piloting as a pilot) BUT Anakin taught him, which is why he can get on that ship and fly through the debris and save Ahsoka.
Anakin prepared both of them in such a way that they survived order 66.
