Darth Sidious - Blog Posts
Did you know...?
I just found out that Anakin is the son of Darth Sidious WTF.
I originally thought that Sidious saw Anakin's potential and that's why he took notice of him, but now knowing that he's his son makes a lot of sense to me
Honestly I’m f*cked up, but it makes a lot of sense to me now.
Thank you. I'm shocked.
See sometimes I cry about the fall of the Jedi order. and sometimes I wonder how the hell they even lasted that long.
Example one: the Zillo beast
Because this is the logical train of thought: there’s a giant monster who wants to kill everyone, let’s kill him or put him back in the hole.
But noooo. The Jedi council was smoking something good that day and thought: There’s a giant monster that wants to kill everyone. Maybe we should kill it… nahhhh let’s bring it back to the capital so we can maximize damages. Hopefully it eats the chancellor.
I love the clone wars trio bc I see them all as different commentaries on the Jedi of the time.
Obi Wan is what the Jedi were.
Anakin is what the Jedi preached against.
Ahsoka is what the Jedi should aspire to be.
Obi Wan had the best of intentions: he wanted to save Anakin, to save Satine, to save Ahsoka. But in the end he failed due to Sith scheming. He was set up to fail, wether it be his dead master or the intergalactic war he was forced to fight in. And in the end Anakin did fall from the light, Satine was killed in Maul's quest for revenge, and Ahsoka walked away. He was a well-intentioned man with a good heart who was ultimately set up to fail by the Sith.
Anakin too wanted safety for his loved ones, but he took it to far. Instead of prioritizing those people, their wants and needs, he prioritized the way they made him felt. Instead of selfless love, he loved selfishly, which is exactlaly what the Jedi are against. They're not against love, they're against attachment. Anakin couldn't let go of Ahsoka: it corroded his faith in the Jedi, sowed seeds of resentment. He couldn't accept that Padme or Obi Wan didn't agree with his vision, because if they don't make him feel good, then they no longer love him. Anakin was a kind boy twisted by the Sith and his misguided attachment to others.
Ahsoka falls into a similar category as Obi Wan, except for one detial. She walked away. She recognized that the Jedi were unintentionally loosing themselves in war. And even through she was a spectacular warrior, a talented commander, she recognized that it wasn't supposed to be her job. She was able to let go of her attachment to Anakin and the 501st. She was a product of her masters and friends, of Obi Wan, Anakin, Padme, and all the others who influenced her growth. And even in the end, when her world fell, she still acted with compassion and understanding, which is exactly what a Jedi should be. Despite her discomfort with the twisted meaning of the title, Ahsoka embodied the fundamental traits of a Jedi. Not flawless, but an empathetic peacekeeper capable of embracing love and rejecting attachment.
Idk if I'm articulating it right, but the general idea is there.
So I was watching the Wrong Jedi arc (yes I cried, yes i hate myself, yes I hate Dave Filoni) and I got an idea.
What if the Jedi trusted Ahsoka? Bc despite what some people seem to think, they weren't evil monsters. The Jedi were just trying their best.
Anyway, I think that it would change the story a lot. One of the main reasons Anakin Skywalker, mister main character, fell, is because he had lost both his padawan and his faith in the Jedi council. So if Ahsoka not only stays around, but the Jedi trust and support them, maybe Anakin doesn't loose faith. Maybe Palpatine dies in a tragic elevator accident that definitely didn't have anything to do with Fox.
I have so many ideas for this AU, but the main one is just how Ahsoka can grow without Order 66 completely wrecking her life.. How she can turn from an annoying youngling to the one of the wisest and most powerful Knights. But most importantly, she gets her brothers, she gets her masters, she gets her family, and she gets to be Auntie Ahsoka.
This is all just an excuse to give Ahsoka a happy ending :)
LMAO GET THAT MOTHERFUCKER MACE!!!
Mace will do
what have i done
The Star Wars Good Parent’s Guide (Part I, Part II)
Anon asked for papa Palpatine giving child Maul a festive present, so I had to make a comic. Think of this as a super jolly AU where the Sith aren’t complete creeps. (I guess Maul’s present is getting a somewhat normal childhood?)

December 2: Darth Maul + Santa hat
Today’s prompt suggested by: drunkdarthplagueis and starwarssithlord
(P.S. I couldn’t imagine adult Maul wearing the hat - so I drew papa Palpatine amusing himself by dressing up his tiny apprentice all fancy.)
Drew this scene of painting Judith Beheading Holofernes Caravaggio (1598) as alternative revenge of the with ending
Thoughts ? I feel like I can’t get the faces right yet. Gotta practice more.
I am absolutely fucking crying at this scene--imagine being Mas Amedda or Sly Moore, like you're caught in the room in a power struggle between WALKING NIGHTMARE DARTH VADER and the EVEN MORE POWERFUL PURE EVIL EMPEROR, you don't know what kind of shit is going to go down, because the nightmare cyborg with a death wish just tried to kill the Emperor and was thwarted, so he's going to be pissed, and he does NOT have any self-control when he's pissed, he's the kind who'll take the punishment after killing someone rather than just Not Killing Someone, and you are RIGHT THERE IN HIS PATH, while the Emperor over there is LAUGHING at your discomfort, like, don't worry! I'm beyond his reach and you're too insignificant for him to notice! despite that the Emperor himself JUST NOTICED YOU, and you can't even think too many bad thoughts because they're both EVIL PSYCHIC SPACE WIZARDS WHO CAN READ YOUR MIND and you just. Like. Have to keep going in to work with these dudes. This is your life now.
#Sheev makes himself laugh and that's all that's important
Realising that, from a certain point of view:
Ventress is Anakin's lineage great-aunt, but he's also her lineage uncle.
Anakin is both Sidious' apprentice and his great-great-grand-apprentice. Or step-great-great-grand-apprentice?
Dooku is both Anakin's great-grandmaster and his lineage brother.
Savage is Dooku's apprentice and his lineage nephew.
Savage is both Anakin's lineage nephew and his lineage great-uncle.
Ventress is both Yoda's and Sidious' grand-apprentice.
Luke is Ahsoka's adoptive nephew, and her lineage uncle, and her lineage great-great-great uncle?
Luke is also Dooku's lineage brother.
And Ventress' lineage uncle.
Anakin is Luke's father, his lineage brother (sort of in two ways?), and his lineage great-great-nephew. Oh, and his lineage great-great uncle, in a way (Anakin = Sith lineage brother to Dooku, who's Luke's Jedi great-grandmaster, in addition to being his Jedi lineage brother).
I think all of this makes Padmé pretty much everybody's in-law???
And it might require a bit of a stretch, but I'm pretty sure there are also multiple ways for Maul to be Obi-Wan's lineage relative?
STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS (2008-2020) 5.16 • "The Lawless"
“Maul we have to cut your ear off to support Trump shithead”
reallll, anakin should have accountability for his major (MAJOR) life fuck ups but like if it took a while for mace and kenobi to clock something was suspicious .... how the fuck do you expect anyone else to (least of all, a CHILD!!!!!)
I know it’s super popular in SW fandom to clown on Anakin for ever trusting Palpatine in ROTS, and I’ll never defend it as a reasonable decision, but I think a lot of the criticisms of Anakin during this moment miss some crucial points.
The first is that when Anakin started meeting with Palpatine, he was twelve. It was with the Jedi’s full knowledge and permission. Of course, Palpatine is out to manipulate Anakin, but Anakin has no reason to think he can’t trust Palpatine. After all, the Jedi are his guardians, and they’re responsible for keeping him safe. Why wouldn’t Anakin trust Palpatine when Palpatine starts positioning himself as more sympathetic and understanding of Anakin’s differences than the rest of the Jedi? As far as Anakin knows, Palpatine is a trustworthy person who the Jedi approve of, and he has no reason to be on his guard in this situation. Which is exactly what Palpatine wants Anakin to believe, and then he has a decade to sink his claws into Anakin.
The second is by the time the Jedi are asking Anakin to spy on Palpatine, Anakin has already lost several important people in his life. The Jedi Council has already driven Ahsoka away by choosing politics over standing with her, and Shmi is dead in part because Anakin couldn’t go to her when he was having nightmares about her dying in agony every night. Now he’s having the same nightmares about Padme, who he’s not even supposed to be married to, and he’s also expected to spy on Palpatine, the dude who as far as he knows, has always been nice to him. Anakin has lost two out of the five people he loves the most because of the Jedi, and he’s at risk of losing two more. I don’t think this justifies his later actions, but I can see where he’s coming from. And so does Palpatine, and he’s able to use his knowledge of Anakin’s fears against both him and the Jedi.
Finally, I see a lot of fans acting as though Jedi were constantly warning Anakin for years that he couldn’t trust Palpatine, and Anakin ignored them. That’s not actually what happened. Mace Windu trusted Palpatine completely at the beginning of the war, so much so that he agreed with Palpatine to allow Padawans on the battlefield. At the beginning of Matthew Stover’s ROTS, it’s outright stated that multiple Jedi have come to Obi-Wan throughout the years with concerns about Anakin’s relationship with Palpatine, but Obi-Wan doesn’t take them seriously. Later, when Mace tells Obi-Wan that they need to start spying on Palpatine to monitor his accumulation of power, Obi-Wan is stunned, because he’s always seen Palpatine as their ally, and not someone to be wary of.
Blame Anakin for his bad decisions all you want. But don’t blame him for hanging out with a guy who the Jedi allowed to have access to him since he was a kid.
Hey Y’all! I am back!! If you were wondering why I was MIA for so long, I blame this piece, but here it is finally!
It started out as me going “huh I think it would be fun to make a “family tree” with Padawans and Masters” ...and then it just kept getting bigger and bigger....somebody please help these people they’re all connected and they’ve all got issues....
Anyways! I hope you enjoy it!
