Hey I recognize that quote! It’s from Good Omens!
Luke Skywalker: What was it the Jedi said that got everybody so upset?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Be kind to each other
Han Solo: Oh yeah that'll do it
I just finished The Last Jedi.
And I choose to ignore canon and instead imagine Luke living a happy retired life with his Mandalorian husband and green space gremlin son, thank you very much.
Snippet from chapter 2 of Of Bolts and Bucket Hearts
“Mom, this is Din, my sahe’as, my boyfriend.” Luke said.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Padmé said. “Please take good care of my son. He means everything to me.”
“I noticed you speaking huesmic, were you a slave?” Din asked as they walked.
Padmé laughed. “No I was a queen and senator, but I married his father. He, Nia, and Beru taught me.” She said.
Din nearly tripped. Luke, actually tripped, luckily Din managed to grab him just in time to stop him from face planting into the ground. Luke flashed a grateful smile as he steadied himself against Din.
“You were a queen?” Luke asked. “Aunt Ru only mentioned you being a senator.”
“I was elected queen of Naboo when I was four teen. I ran for two terms. The people wanted to vote for me to stay in power for longer, but I refused. It wasn’t how things were done. After that I became a senator.” Padmé explained. “They insisted I keep the name Amidala instead of going back to Naberrie though. If things had been different I would have taken your father’s last name when we married. But, he was a Jedi and forbidden from marrying, so we had to do it in secret.”
She shook her head. “I haven’t been a Naberrie, Amidala, or Skywalker in a very long time though. All of them were too risky to use. When this war is over I’ll go back to my name, but for now call me Veré.” She said.
“Of course mam.” Din said.
“What name will you use?” Luke asked. “Naberrie or Skywalker?”
“I was thinking Naberrie-Skywalker.” Padmé said.
“Padmé Naberrie-Skywalker. I like it.” Luke said.
Din smiled as Luke and Padmé talked. It was good to see the mother and son catching up. It was like they’d only been separated a few months and not eighteen years. Like Luke had simply moved out and come to visit instead of a first meeting.
Happiness Will Come To You.
I'm imagining afterglow Luke and omg he's so sweet and beautiful 🥺
anon, i’m gonna do you one better: imagine it’s the very first time you’re seeing him like this. the “grand finale” has occurred, you’re both lying there staring at the ceiling and panting as though you just tried outrunning a herd of fathiers. it was messy, it was clumsy, and it might have ended just a little too soon-but you loved every second of it. you can hardly believe it happened-with him. and as you look over to gauge his reaction, it seems luke can’t either.
he roughly runs a hand through his hair, blinking rapidly, and starts giggling. it’s the sort of giggle that spills out like a gush of spring water, almost effortless and full of ebullient joy. he cracks a toothy grin. “…wow,” he says somewhat hoarsely, cheeks a healthy shade of pink. “that was…” briefly he covers his face with both hands, searching for a word that apparently doesn’t materialize. “wow.”
“yeah,” you agree, turning on your side to really drink him in. luke mirrors your movements, forming his bent arm into a makeshift pillow. the gazes lock, hold, and you let your eyes travel along the body that’s no longer a mystery. in a little while, when you return to your quarters and your lonely bunk, you’ll ruminate on the exact taste of his salty sweat; the veins in his magnificent large hands; the wild, desperate look in his eyes as you fumbled with each other’s clothes; the sounds he’d made during the act, those shaky breaths and whimpers, the low moans and pleading that sent shock waves right to your center.
but for now, this is enough. to lie together companionably and enjoy the afterglow of it all, bask in the warmth of luke’s slightly tanned skin and the affectionate way he studies you. “you alright?” he asks, snuggling a bit closer.
“oh, i’m fine,” you hum, leaning in so that your noses practically touch.
“was it good?”
“you were wonderful. really.”
maker, he’s beautiful when he smiles. “so were you.” quick as hyperspace he plants a kiss on your parted lips. “really.”
shaking your head, you chase after the promise of another anointing from that sweet mouth and insist “luke, you’re too nice to me.”
he happily gives it to you and replies, “this is ‘being too nice,’ huh? well…i guess i’ll just have to keep doing it until you believe you deserve it. you free tomorrow night?”
you frame his impish face between your palms and bestow loud, smacking kisses on every part until he’s laughing and squirming against you. sometimes it still feels like a dream, his choosing you. “i think my schedule just magically cleared up.”
I consider the sequels Disney fanfiction, but I do enjoy watching them, I just wouldn’t pick the sequels over the prequels or original trilogy.
And I am refering to all of star wars and not just select parts of it. Even if you have issues with parts of it, you still enjoy it.
Thank you @alliskywalkergrayson and everyone who got me to 10 reblogs!
Okay so has anyone done like a DinLuke Anastasia AU? Because honestly I was listening to the Anastasia Broadway soundtrack (again) instead of my usual DinLuke playlist and like all I can think is this au.
Like Padmé and Anakin are King and Queen of Naboo, with the royal twins Luke and Leia. Don’s parents are servants who moved to Naboo from Aq Ventina and got jobs in the palace. Din is like only a few years older than Luke in this as opposed to their cannon age gap. Because of this they often hang out (I doubt Padmé or Anakin would have issue with him being friends with the hired helps kid just given who they are) Luke is Din’s best friend, but Luke’s beat friend is forever and always his twin sister Leia, though Din is a close second. Both have a crush on each other, but neither voice it.
Then when Luke is eleven and Din is like fourteen, not quite a full on revolution but enough people are unhappy with things that a group of them Storm the palace and kill Anakin and Padmé. Leia escapes with Bail Organa and is adopted by him, but Luke isn’t as lucky. Din helps him into the servants quarters, but Luke drops the music box his mom had made when he and Leia were babies. Din goes back for it, but witnesses his parents being executed for refusing to give up the twins location causing him to black out and stay separated from Luke. Luke meanwhile escapes, but falls down a hill and hits his head losing his memories. The next day a kind old lady finds him and offers to help him find somewhere to stay.
“What’s your name child?”
“I think it’s Lu…. Lu… Luka?”
“Very well Luka, let’s find you somewhere warm for the night”
Fast forward ten years, things have gotten worse, Luke is struggling to find and keep a job, Din WAS a Mandalorian, but they aren’t very welcome around Naboo anymore after one of them was involved with the murder of the King and Queen and disappearance of the Prince. He has Grogu still, but he’s a human in this au because I say so. He’s mute and likely the Star Wars equivalent of a nonverbal autistic. Grogu doesn’t like the helmet much either, he doesn’t like not seeing his dad’s face, so the helmet (and the rest of the armor) goes.
Greef and Cara come up with the plan to fool Leia, who is offering a reward for anyone who can return her brother to her. (She knows he’s alive because she can sense him in the force) Din wants no part in it, but is struggling with money and affording to care for Grogu and the amount of money offered, even split between them, would be life changing. So he, reluctantly, goes along.
The group eventually meet Luke, hoping to get off world and find his family, and agree he looks just like the missing prince (no duh). Greef and Cara are elated that Luke has no memories and just wants to find his family meaning no extra split in the reward. Din on the other hand feels bad for taking advantage of someone who looks just like his best friend. Luke for his part, recognizes Din, but can’t figure out how he knows him, or how he knows his name.
The group begins making plans to leave Naboo. Din is left with Luke and Grogu. Luke asks Din if they could have met when they were kids because he feels like he’s met him before. Din confesses he was very close to the prince before he went missing and how he was his best friend. Luke asks if he believes he’s really the prince and Din admits he doesn’t know. He doesn’t want to believe his best friend would have forgotten him. Luke reminds him that he can’t remember anyone or anything from before he was eleven. (Cue in my dreams sequence) Luke accidentally floats some things making Din believe he might just be the prince. (Force users are rare and even rarer would be someone who looks so similar to Luke with force sensitivity)
After months of traveling via shuttles (no one has a ship) Din, feeling guilty eventually confesses everything to Luke, who he’s started falling in love with. Luke confronts Greef and Cara about using him to get a reward and trying to con someone who is just looking for her brother. Luke agrees to continue with them, but only to see if Leia is his sister and as he doesn’t trust Greef or Cara anymore he doesn’t want to see them afterwards. Din promises to help Luke find his family if Leia isn’t his sister and the two end up spending the night together.
Meanwhile Bail convinces Leia to give up the search, at least temporarily for her sake.
Stuff happens, Luke and Leia reunite, Luke gets his memory back, Din realizes Luka and Luke are the same person when talking with Luke results in him remembering the time Luke convinced his parents to let Din ride in the parade with them. Someone tries to kill Luke and Leia, Din stops them. Din and Luke get together, Luke adopts Grogu and the three decide to live a quiet life though Luke remains close to Leia.
I might have to write this actually.
