mr L is the equivalent to the dance scene from spiderman 3 and we should start treating him as such

-don’t tag as ship-

So that video with the montage of Obi-Wan 'sneaking' around the Death Star just. Man.

What always gets me is that he isn't even particularly sneaking, he's just wandering around looking confidently lost and just a touch confused. He could just say he's an elderly man looking for the bathroom; his son ranks highly here and brought him along for whatever reason, and he got turned around looking for room his son got him.

Tatooine aged him enough that he could convincingly claim dementia.

He just. He just wanders around. He's barely hiding. I know it's the Force but he's just VIBING. He looks like he barely cares if anyone spots him! He looks like he's almost supposed to be there. Like he didn't see a security cordon and wandered into the employees-only section of a museum, but it's not even the humidity-controlled storage of priceless artifacts, it's the security breakroom. That's the level of out-of-place energy he's exuding. Innocently not quite right.

The Stormtroopers could literally just. Look at each other. Like. Yeah he's probably not some important guy's somewhat addled father, but what if this is like. Tarkin's dad or something. What if they arrest this guy and it's a Moff's dad. Tarkin could get away with bringing his father to the Death Star despite security concerns. What if that's what's going on?

(Joke's on you, troopers, that's Vader's dad.)

More fics where Ben Kenobi gets spotted by a squad on patrol, and just asks if anyone could lead him to the wash closet, letting someone guide him by the arm as if he really is just a nursing home escapee, and then knocks out the trooper and escapes once they've turned the corner and gotten away from the others.

In a different world,

Han Solo is a sleeper agent working for the empire. Just before the battle of endor he rearranges the attack so he can neutralize the team, and leaves Luke.

Why does it look like they’re on a date?

Cody gets bitten by a werewolf sometime during the war, and can transform at will with no full moon requirement, effectively becoming himself as a very large dog

he and Obi-Wan conspire to keep this fact hidden, as they're very aware of the danger of the Kaminoans finding out and disappearing him into their labs

when Order 66 goes out, Cody has a split second to fight it

and, well. wolves aren't exactly good soldiers, and you can only sort of expect them to follow orders.

transformed, Cody runs straight to the General, but when he gets there, he realizes that he can't actually warn him of the danger, because he can't transform back to explain without the Order taking hold

but he can whine sadly and pull on Obi-Wan's ridiculous sleeves with his teeth until Obi-Wan gets the hint and lets him lead him away to safety in a stolen ship

they make the rendezvous with Bail and Yoda

(Bail: what's with the dog Obi-Wan?

Obi-Wan, sweating: it's, um, a service dog

Yoda: ...fake, that sounds, but okay)

and then Cody and Obi-Wan make the trip to the Temple to disable the beacon, with Cody fighting off his brothers as nonlethally as he can while Obi-Wan does his best to follow his lead

after they find the evidence of Anakin's betrayal and receive Yoda's assignment, Obi-Wan sobs into Cody's fur the whole flight to Padme's apartment, and then silently the whole flight out to Mustafar hidden aboard her ship

while Obi-Wan is busy fighting with Vader, Cody manages to drag Padme's unconscious body back aboard her ship, then sneaks back closer to the fighting just in time to see the end of the duel

(if he waits to act until Obi-Wan is just far enough to not notice when Anakin's screams cut out, well, that's his own business)

he follows Obi-Wan back to the ship and drapes himself across the man's lap the whole way to Polis Massa

after Padme's death and her children's birth, Cody demands that they keep at least one of the babies

(look at his puppy dog eyes. how can you so cruelly deprive him of tubies like this.)

so Luke grows up with his Uncle Ben and their very strange, very large dog, Cody

when they end up on the Death Star nearly two decades later, Cody materializes from wherever he'd been lurking on the station just in time to drag Obi-Wan to safety during his duel with the Grand Inquisitor

as soon as their bedraggled group arrives on Yavin, Rex shows up to eagerly greet his former General; Cody, while thrilled to see his brother alive, starts viciously growling at him as he approaches: he might not understand in detail how the chips work, but he knows what he experienced that day, and he's seen what his brothers have done since then

Obi-Wan explains the situation to the man from the Cody-approved distance of half the hangar away, how Cody transformed one day and has refused to turn back since, and Rex immediately expresses his confusion, asking if they haven't removed Cody's chip

(Cody: I assure you, I did NOT let anyone microchip me!)

following Rex's explanation, Cody rushes them all to the medbay to undergo surgery, leaving Obi-Wan to explain to Luke how their 'dog' is actually his other Uncle

while Obi-Wan and Cody are distracted desperately making out with each other in the medbay, Luke sneaks off to destroy the Death Star, setting them up to all live happily ever after
