Title: Oh Anakin

Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: one image
Characters/Pairing: Ahsoka Tano & Anakin Skywalker | Darth Vader
Warnings/Notes: Body Horror
Creator's Summary: “Oh, Anakin….”

In an AU where Ahsoka infiltrated Vader’s castle to see for herself what he has become beneath the machines and the cape.

Reasons for reccing: This is a fantastic and emotionally devastating piece of art that depicts Ahsoka looking at Anakin’s burned body within a bacta tank.

Title: Kylo Ren & Rey 【 You have Compassion for her 】
Creator: [youtube.com profile] inspired-destiny
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size:
Characters/Pairing: Kylo Ren/Rey
Warnings/Notes: TFA-era, Music is “Crazy in Love” by Sofia Karlberg
Creator's Summary: His mask off, Ren replied with what seemed to be usual assurance. No one else would have sensed a difference. Snoke did.

"You have compassion for her." - Snoke
"No -Never. Compassion? For the enemy of the Order?" - Kylo Ren
"I perceive the problem. It isn't her strength that is making you fail. It's your weakness." - Snoke

"Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is central to a Jedi’s life, so you might say we’re encouraged to love.” - Anakin to Padme

Reasons for reccing: This is one of the classic Reylo fanvids that was created after TFA. It’s so good and perfectly captures this sense of the mysterious connection that Rey and Ben have for one another as they’re drawn towards one another by a force they don’t yet understand (that we, the fans, didn’t quite understand yet either). This vid is just so good and a must watch Reylo vid.

Title: In Fire
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] dehautdesert
Rating: Explicit
Word Count/Length/Size: 104670+ (ongoing)
Characters/Pairing: Anakin/Obi-Wan, Anakin & Luke
Warnings/Notes: Alternate Universe - Silent Hill Fusion, Survival Horror, Psychological Horror, Implied/Referenced Rape/Non-con, Mind Rape, dark themes, Gore, Slow Burn

Creator's Summary: When Darth Maul escapes from custody on Mandalore, Anakin and Obi-Wan race straight from their recent victory to attempt to intercept him, resulting in a firefight over a mysterious planet and both their vessels crashing outside of a town the local authorities dare not go near.

With Obi-Wan gravely injured in the fight, Anakin must venture into the settlement alone to search for parts to repair their ship. But this town, it appears, was once a Sith stronghold, and the longer Anakin spends there the more it twists into a world of someone's nightmarish delusions brought to life. Monsters roam the streets, great chasms line the roads and more than half the doors he tries are locked. His only allies are a mysterious boy who was stranded here searching for his father...

... and Obi-Wan?

Reasons for reccing: This fic perfectly captures the Star Wars universe while also maintaining all of Silent Hill's usual tropes. If you're a fan of horror I'd say it's a good choice.

Title: The Tatooine Cycle
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] Fialleril
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 12,634 words | 5 works
Characters/Pairing: Shmi Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Kitster Banai, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa
Warnings/Notes: Canonical Slavery
Creator's Summary: A connected series of fics that place Tatooine at the bright center of the universe, and focus in particular on the lives, beliefs, struggles, world views, and stories of the slave characters. In part an effort to reintroduce the issue of slavery as something central to the narrative and to the characters' conceptions of themselves, as well as an effort to prioritize the stories of non-Jedi, non-Core world characters.

Reasons for reccing: This is a really great little series that delves deep into Tatooine's culture, the culture of slavery--centering it as a struggle in ways that the films didn’t, and mythology that dits nicely into the Star Wars universe while still creating something new and unique. All of the characters are really well written and their struggles are emotional and impactful.

Warnings/Notes:
Creator's Summary: A mashup of Darth Revan's Theme and Bastila Shan's theme since they were lovers.

Characters/Pairing: Darth Malak, Darth Revan
Warnings/Notes: None
Creator's Summary: Finally finished this one.

Reasons for reccing: Wow, wow, wow! This is one of my favorite pieces of KOTOR fanart and it's hard for me to explain why. It has this cinematic quality to it and it looks like a cool poster--I’d love to have something like this framed and on my wall. I love how it uses color with the red and black. Simply put, this is an epic art piece depicting the Star Forge, Malak, and Revan and his minions.

Title: Lightsaber Development!
Creator: the Hacksmith
Word Count/Length/Size: Currently 10 videos of about 6 to 20 minutes length
Warnings/Notes: Expensive and Dangerous Science; Do Not Try This At Home
Creator's Summary: See how we've developed the world's first real life LIGHTSABER!

Reasons for reccing: These guys are awesome! They’re developing real life lightsabers, or rather proto sabers, which in Legends canon included power backs that powered the lightsaber before the power source was eventually compacted to be included inside the lightsaber hilt. They explain the science very simply and they explore their building process of the sabers in a way that is very exciting and interesting. Their latest plasma saber is in particular really cool and I love the hilt design.

Sorry for the quality, you know why it is like this. Maybe I will update when the DVD comes out.

Reasons for reccing: This vid has some of the most phenomenal video editing I have ever seen in fandom. The way the creator transitions the scenes and matches the edits to the musical beat is utterly phenomenal.

Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 3 images
Characters/Pairing: Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rey
Warnings/Notes: TROS Spoilers
Creator's Summary:
I could have shown you all the scars at the start,
but that was always the most difficult part.
See, I’m in love with how your soul’s a mix of chaos and art
and how you never try to keep ‘em apart.

I wrote some words and then I stared at my feet;
became a coward when I needed to speak.
I guess love took on a different kind of meaning for me.
So, when I go, just know it kills me to leave.


Reasons for reccing: Really solid editing and quote choice that slams you in the feels

Word Count/Length/Size: 6 panels
Characters/Pairing: Bastila Shan, Darth Malak, Revan (Unmasked OC)
Warnings/Notes: Spoilers for end of KOTOR, Final Battle
Creator's Summary: N/A

Reasons for reccing: Everything about this art is just *chef’s kiss* The facial expressions of the characters are phenomenal and completely enraptured you in the moment and the backgrounds are intense. The comic takes the style of the game cut scenes which makes it fit very neatly into canon and reminds me of playing the game and going through these moments. And the writing in the comic is very haunting.

Title: At The Helm
Creator: [tumblr.com profile] jaybendt
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: one image
Characters/Pairing: Kylo Ren, Finn, Rey
Warnings/Notes: -
Creator's Summary: A totally self indulgent fanart piece because I’ve been obsessed with the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie. Featuring Kylo Ren, Finn and Rey’s respective props.

Reasons for reccing: The Force Awakens sets up this idea of the past and the trauma it inflicts on the future generations and that theme carries through to varying degrees throughout the sequel trilogy. And I think the way the past affects the future can best be seen in these three characters with Kylo holding onto Vader’s helmet, Finn being a stormtrooper, and Rey carrying around an old Rebel pilot helmet. This is a really great piece that highlights that theme and how it carries through with these three characters.
