rrrgh hes just so cool man i love embo

i miss these two :( scene redraw practice yippee :3

Posting this before I convince myself not to.

Got a couple of stories bouncing around in the back of my head, decided to finally put one down and see how felt...

[See rant below]

SO

Basically, Krell orders the decommission of Rex before his death because he loathes the man for (inserts many reasons) . The order doesn't go through until after his death, but Rex still gets snatched away to Kamino. They decide not to decommission him, but recondition him instead because he has so many skills and such promising performance.

Insert this new lil ARC, just doin his thing with amazing success rates, but he's super introverted and quiet. Fives starts hanging around him, trying to open the new kid up (as he does). Eventually he finds out just who the new kid with the funky scarring is.

Chaos, angst and feels ensue.

May the Fourth Be With You 2024 (NEXT)

Had to give a call back to how it all began.

Go check out a great fic about de-aged clones by Fulcrum55!

Bonus:

OG Post

Welp, that was a good practice in shading. :D

Important sequel

De-aged clones my beloved

Now time to figure out how to shade...

A continuation of THIS :]

The reason why the empire kept Cody around was because he was a WiFi booster change my mind

Me when I realized wrecker is a alpha clone

Think about it, the alpha bred troopers were the most successful troopers and the first batch created however their flaw was how independent they were and their lack of care and or compassion for the Jedi and republic, they were also much more on the aggressive side. They were taller and bulkier than our standard regs.

Wrecker is an genetically modified clone, as we’ve never heard him specifically be called enhanced like the others. Wrecker in comparison with the comics (as we don’t see them on screen) is the exact size of an alpha bred clone and when u watch his mannerisms when his chip activates and compare it to the temperament and actions of the alpha troopers and they are the same. It’s very possible that the kaminoians attempted to recreate the alpha coding (as of how successful they were) but attempted to mend the independent mind set and short temper but instead of a compliant alpha trooper we got wrecker.

Everyone watching book of boba

Those tuskens beat the spice traders

Everyone who knows the pikes and clone wars

The tuskens were cool while they lasted

I would like to introduce one of my many clone trooper OCs:

This is CT-4782 “SwoopDeWoop”

Everyone calls him Swoop though because his they think his full name is fucking stupid.

Here’s some fun facts!

A member of the 501st

He’s a jet trooper

He’s petty and always knocking things over like a cat

He steals and pulls pranks for attention

He’s aroace

Quotes (used from a random quote generator):

Swoop: If you don't stop talking, I'm going to jump out of that window.

Rex: ...We're on the ground floor.

Swoop: I know but I want a dramatic exit.

——————

Rex: We need a plan to beat them.

Swoop: Okay, listen up. First, we fill their shoes with wet cat food.

Rex:

Swoop: Judge me all you want, I get results.

I used a clone creator website to make the armor; I can post the link if anyone wants it

This what I’ve been saying

Make a fucking show about clone medic kix the pirate

Part of the 501st legion's Clastartes, Alad is a high ranking clastartes and part of the required cataphractii guard for their jedi general, Anakin Skywalker. Wearing cataphractii Commando armor, Alad wields a terrifying Grevious Claw and a single hand Heavy Boltblaster. Alad is silent, deadly, and has faced various foes in service of the Republic.

Yup yup! Each Jedi general in this au have a group of cataphractii guards and this is a member of Anakin Skywalker's. Having a very small bit of Naboo-inspired decor and demeanor, these lads are just as unorthodox as their general lol.

Ah yes. I come out of stasis to yeet you... the Clastartes! (name is still a work in progress htf does one mix CLONE TROOPERS with ADEPTUS ASTARTES?) Essentially, they're my take on a 40k Star Was Crossover. Pls take this with a grain of silliness. This is all in good fun.

Any type of Astartes Armor

Dreadnoughts are voluntary services and come in all Frames

Weapons are called Bolt Blasters (Heavy Boltblaster for example)

Geneseed is derived from their Jedi Generals

Jedi’s personality and culture rubs off on the Clastartes

Clastartes make up about ⅓ of every Clone Trooper force

Clastartes are made from an early cadet

Grown Clones can’t become Clastartes due to the enhanced aging

Clastartes organs and modifications slow down aging and shut down the Inhibitor chips

Honor Guards are built for each Jedi General

Coruscant Guard are more connected to the Jedi due to the rules of the Geneseed, thus are connected to Cin Drallig

Order 66 fails solely because of the Clastartes, who stop the Jedi Massacre all over the galaxy and at the Temple. 

Palpatine is butchered by the Clastartes 501st and Coruscant Guard 

Wild Space includes planets/characters from 40k (because I said so)

The Inquisitors are a mix of what they are in 40k as well as Star Wars

Other species from other franchises could make an appearance (Halo, 40k, Predators, Xenomorphs, etc etc)

Republic does its own “Great Crusade”

Battle Droids are converted into security forces

Dreadnoughts are essentially mobile bacta-tanks

Clastartes that become force sensitive are trained by their generals

Star Wars Templates made by XVelken and Madskillz793 on Deviantart (struggled to find them for some fucking reason dear god) Warhammer Templates made by Games Workshop

What If: Transformers were Star Wars Characters?

The BASIS I guess?: The Clone Army is massive, with hundreds of legions and units. But so do the Separatists. So secret legions are nothing new… but these two are definitely something else…

Old memories

Not a friend!

NOT A FRIEND!!!

first time drawing clone armour think it went alright

the sillies, your honour?

drew this a while ago and never posted it, so here

Sometimes, Fives looks at Tup and can’t help but remember someone else in his place…

*Not Shipart*

These are the only three flaws I will concede, when it comes to the Jedi during the Prequels.

“They got lax/complacent.”

Yeah*. If you listen to the director’s commentary, George Lucas states the scene in AOTC with Jocasta Nu is there to indicate how unprepared the Jedi were before the Sith’s plan. They thought they were secure and ready but they were not and it turns out humble restaurant owners like Dex know things they don't.

*HOWEVER: Who wouldn’t be complacent, in times of peace?

The Sith were thought to be extinct and Dooku was once a Jedi, a revered one at that. Nobody could have suspected he’d betray the Order that raised him and loved him.

Nobody could've suspected that he'd abuse of their trust and delete a system from the Archives using the credentials of his best friend who he'd had assassinated. That's a verrrry specific scenario, and expecting them to be prepared for that is unreasonable.

"They should've sensed something!" Well, by this point in time, everything surrounding the Jedi was tainted by the Dark Side, which clouded everything. So on the one hand, this situation granted Sidious the gift of foresight and allowed them to always be one step ahead, and on the other, it caused the Jedi to be stuck trekking ahead in a fog, unsure of what the next move would be.

“They were politically-inept.”

Yes**. That’s how the Sith ran circles around the Jedi. They figured “there’s only two of us, if we march into the Temple we’ll get slaughtered, but wait, the Jedi serve the Senate and the Senate is run by politicians… what if we become the politicians? Then we can destroy the Jedi and the principles from the inside!”

**HOWEVER: The Jedi were politically-inept by choice.

After all, their function isn’t setting policy but carrying it out. They’re not politicians, they’re diplomats and as such they're not allowed to get involved in the political process.

But if they were... they still wouldn't. Because power corrupts, and if you let the space monks (who already have magical powers) have political power too, then that will lead to a very dark place.

The Jedi knew that if they tried to play politics, they’ll lose because they have neither the ruthlessness nor the status to do it well, so they make it a point of never going anywhere near it.

Unfortunately, that leaves them open to situations where the Senate or Palpatine corner them into doing something they really don’t wanna do.

It's how they were forced to expel Ahsoka, how they lost the favor of the citizens and it's how Dooku, then the Emperor, framed them as power-hungry sorcerers with his propaganda.

“The war made them hypocrites.”

Sure***. The Jedi were meant to be diplomats, not soldiers. By waging war instead of keeping the peace, they’ve compromised on their values.

***HOWEVER: The Jedi know this and they’re not happy about it at all.

Firstly, because they were forced into this situation by the Senate and Palpatine, who drafted them into service.

Secondly, because they know they’re essentially moving ahead blindly and playing right into the Sith Lord’s hand by fighting this war he orchestrated.

But finally, it’s that they know that not joining would’ve been worse. Sticking by their principles would’ve resulted in the enslavement and genocide of many populations. Sometimes, the spirit of the rules must be prioritized over the letter. Either do nothing and be true to your principles, or go against them but save lives.

It’s a bad choice to make, but not as bad as not making one.

It's a bad choice, but it's motivated by a desire to do some good and it did. They saved countless lives (sometimes at the cost of their own) and inspired countless more to form the Rebellion, later on.

So... three flaws.

But they all come with asterisks. There’s a reasonable (sometimes, even admirable) justification for each of them.

I’m pointing these out because a lot of people seem to conflate “the Jedi were flawed” with “the Jedi were at fault” when talking about their own demise. And the answer to that is:

No.

The Jedi were not at fault. Everybody else was.

The Senate was at fault for growing corrupt and self-serving.

Big Corp for their never ending greed.

The Separatists for being so blind and naive as to think Big Corp would tooootally value their principles and absolutely not commit war crimes every chance they get.

The Sith for being the mass-murdering egotistical assholes who started this whole mess.

And the citizens of the galaxy for not taking up arms in the face of blatant injustice.

Sometimes bad people win.

That doesn't always mean the good guys are at fault. Sometimes, the bad guys are just… better at the game. Mostly because they see it as a game, and the good guys don't.

Luckily, 20 years later, most of the above faults were rectified by the Rebellion, which was led by the best of the Senate, and composed of Separatist remnants and brave citizens of the galaxy.

Good Maulning

Kind of a mix of his TCW Crimson Dawn robe and Mandalore robe (the length is the difference; i like him in longer robes, even tho i like robo legs too).

Maul Arc but Feral is there

Clone Wars AU: what if’s, featuring “what if everyone lived and outmaneuvered Order 66 and Cody and Rex became, like, space cowboys, among other things”
