I love this stupid frog so so much, he just like me fr
✨💚 turgle 💚✨
Love the darth plagueis reveal because it’s 100% giving the energy of your roommate has a date over and you’re peeking out of your room to see if it’s safe to use the kitchen yet
Facebook user Kai Steele posted this in the SWC group; the Maul in the background was apparently an unexpected surprise. 😂😂😅
Cal Kestis’s Lightsaber
Cal’s lightsaber is cool. I know the reason for the stances is because video game, but character and story-wise it makes sense too.
The different stances give Cal increased adaptability for different situations. It plays into the whole “Survivors. We adapt.”message.
It also shows Cal’s natural combat prowess. No one taught him to wield these other stances, he figured it out on his own, building on a strong foundation from Jaro Tapal.
It’s also a great reminder of his scrapper days. Light sabers are notoriously difficult to build and modify, and for Cal to build such a complex weapon, it is clear how much Prauf taught him on Bracca.
Finally, I love what the double bladed saber represents for Cal. He builds it on Ilum after overcoming a moment of hopelessness. He takes the broken crystal and uses it to make a double bladed saber that can split apart. He adapts.
A lot of people comment that his double bladed stance feels really powerful compared to others, and I can’t help but wonder if that’s on purpose. Story-wise it makes the most sense for it to be the one he favors. Yes, he usually defaults to a standard saber in cut scenes but that’s the one he was trained on. He’s also had the double sided saber since the first game, meaning he’s had five years of training with it. He’s had the split sabers too, but he used them as a special attack within the double sided saber stance.
As much as I love Jedi Survivor, I don’t think the studio understands how crossguard sabers work. I understand having it be a heavy two-handed weapon because video game, but crossguard sabers aren’t from a custom emitter. When you bleed a crystal wrong you need vents to emit the excess energy. It’s nothing game breaking but I think it’s funny.
I’m sure that I am not the first one to come up with this headcanon, but I like to think that Cal changes his lightsaber color from its canonical blue to green after starting something with Merrin so he can match her magick. Because Cal is dorky like that.
Also, the lightsaber he uses technically isn’t his. It belonged to Jaro Tapal.
Anyway, thanks for my too-long meta analysis of me reading too deeply into things that probably only exist because of video game mechanics!
The Jedi Fallen Order recap is like:
Trilla: We seek a dangerous fugitive.
Then it hard cuts to a cute ginger with shaggy hair, freckles, and a poncho who has a little smile, a droid best friend, and who gave their lightsaber to a nightsister who was threatening him five minutes earlier.
Hypothetically, do you reckon that for the younglings that grew up in the Jedi Temple would do like ‘your mum’ jokes except instead it would be ‘your master’?
Like I can fully imagine a random youngling going up to their friend and telling a Your Master joke, and running away giggling menacingly
IMAGINE A YOUNGLING SAYING THAT TO LIKE OBI-WAN YODA OR ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER THOUGH
I feel like depending on which council member they’d tell it to, they’d either get a laugh or get banished from the order, there’s no inbetween
It would be so funny though
I’m thrilled about how Cal and Merrin’s relationship developed in Jedi: Survivor, so I was inspired to do fanart of the two of them, referenced off one of their shared moments in the new game.
(Side note: To view the art best, turn your screen brightness up. The piece ended up being pretty dark.)
Here’s a quick little digital art piece of my favorite SW droid BD-1 (aside for Chopper that is) in celebration of May the 4th.
There’s nothing much else to say except…May the Fourth be with you!
Got a comment on my last cartoony clone post, asking to see more green purple and yellow clones so that there would be a full rainbow and here's the three I went with. Glitch, Gree and the commander from Jaro Tapals battalion. There's no cannon name for that commander that i can find, is there a fannon name for him? lemme know if there is and ill add that to the tags.
I loved the left image Cameron posted on his Instagram. It reminded me so much of Jedi Survivor's photo mode that I just *had* to try and recreate it using in game mechanics only.
I did a lot of hunting to try and find places to get the red lighting close. Had some friends pick the ones I did they thought were closest.
So happy with how it came out... Cal style.
Here's Cam 🪞 Cal

Alright Jedi Survivor fandom time has passed I expect an awnser have we made a canon name for Cal and Merrin’s future Night sister/Jedi Daughter yet ?
SW - ALL TYPES OF LOVE WEEK
INFO
Star Wars: All Types of Love week is a fandom event of fancreations, lasting a week, that celebrates love in its many forms! Since we celebrate romantic love and familial love often, we thought it might be time to give an opportunity for other kinds of love to shine!
Inspired by the Ancient Greek Philosophers and their seven kinds of love, we aim to showcase those different, less celebrated loves. Rooting for the little guys!
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
No sign-up, nothing. Just create!!!
Post during the appropriate week and you’re good!
We welcome any kind of creation, as long as it is truly yours. Even old posts being reblogged is fine! Old creations deserve as much love as new ones.
Fanfics, fanarts, moodboards, fanvids, fancomics, banners, playlists… An epic fic or a 100 word drabble, an amazing painting or a stick figures funny scene- we love it all!!
WHEN TO POST
Wednesday 7th of February, 00h00 PST, to Wednesday 14th of February, 23h59 PST.
HOW TO POST
Post under the tag SWATOLW during the week the event is running. Add the tag of the type of love you are representing.
Be sure to @ us so we can appreciate what you’ve made and put it in the round-up!
WHAT TO POST
Star Wars characters, places, animals, games… Be it from the movies, the novels, the comics, the shows like The Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, Andor or even your own OC, the important parts are:
It must be from the Star Wars fandom
It must be about Love and that love must be not romantic or familial
To get a better idea of what we mean by that, you can read more about the seven types of love here. In short, we want to give a chance to shine to:
Love of Friends #philia
Love of Strangers #agape
Love of Partners #pragma
Love of Players #ludus
Love of Self #philautia
You can post about any of these, at any time of the week. There isn’t a day assigned to each type. The point is to create without pressure and celebrate all the types of love we don’t often focus on! The more of these you depict, the more we will love you for it!
QUESTIONS
“I love my two clones who are bffs, but they are clones. Does their love count as familial?”
Well, the truth rather depends on your point of view how you present it.
Pairs like Fives and Echo, and Rex and Cody, are usually understood in canon and fandom to be family. They can be friends too, but we’d prefer to focus on other pairs for this event. Post another time. We’re sure people will love it.
Alpha-17 and Cody have a cross-generational friendship? As long as the way their relationship is described/shown isn’t the dynamic of big brother & younger brother, or father figure & son figure, it’s good!
Want to show off Waxer & Boil being two peas in a pod? We would love that! As long as it isn’t a ship or they, the characters, don’t feel like the other is kin in the way we understand it.
“I want to show my two Mandalorians who are Partners In Bounty Hunting, but they are from the same clan. Does this work?”
No. I’m sorry, but it does not. We consider clan to be the SW equivalent of immediate family, a close circle, so it’s not the right event for this. But it does work if they are just from the same house or faction!
“Can I do two Jedi who are teammates and lovers?”
You can show any characters (two, three, four…) having a relationship that is sexual and based on love. As long as that love is not romantic.
If what moves your Jedi is the sense of purpose found in duty, the common love for the Light and the wider galaxy, the playfulness and affection shared between bed partners, these feelings can be as big as the moon, and it is still fine!
That is the whole point!
Feelings can be enormous and serious and important and still not be romantic or familial.
But if it’s shown or implied that the relationship is romantic/familial or turning so at some point, that is not what our event is focused on.
We know people are a bit tired from the holidays and that Valentine’s Day is a period often rich with events, which is why we put these conditions so it can be as low-pressure as possible. The point is to rejoice in all the breadth and the richness of the human sentient experience of love. In the love of Star Wars. And in the love of this community.
Be civil and show goodwill to participants and spectators. Be kind. YKINMKATO. Go crazy! Be creative! Have fun!
Love!

"You're a Jedi. I know what you're capable of. And what you're not." STAR WARS JEDI: SURVIVOR (2023)
Okay hear me out, but I was thinking about something cause they referenced fallen order again. I was thinking what if the reason we never see the bad batch in rebels is because the squad and Omega join the Hidden Path?
I think it would be really cool if the batch spent their days helping other force sensitives and Jedi escape the purge. I know this idea has basically zero backing in fact other than Quinlan later joins the hidden path, but I mean come on it’s right there. It is the perfect explanation for why they are nowhere to be seen later and it means we can see them in other content.
Ventress is working for the path. After the Tantiss rebellion inevitably fails the surviving clones work for the hidden path for some reason Rex and Wolffe and Gregor don’t and boom bang boom you have some great potential stories to tell in the future not to mention the crossover potential in Jedi 3. It’s right there. I kinda love this idea. But I am 100% not getting my hopes up.
These love birds got to dress up and go to a ball (they are lowkey on a mission in my head)
Calmerrin dance?
