WHAT IF ANAKIN NEVER REMOVED REX FROM THE SYSTEM AFTER ORDER 66

Like, Anakin might not know that Rex defected. He promoted Appo but technically Appo’s still second in command of the 501st, under Rex (Rex is still listed as a Captain because Anakin is really really fucking awful at paperwork). And then when Rex doesn’t show up, the obvious conclusion is that he’s dead, but Anakin still doesn’t let him get listed as MIA or KIA because that’s HIS CAPTAIN, dammit, and he’s lost Ahsoka, Padme, Obi-Wan, and literally everything else he ever cared about, he doesn’t want to face having lost Rex, too. And he works better with Rex than with anyone else (mostly because Rex has become accustomed to his bullshit and is Very Good at taking Anakin’s spectacularly stupid nonsense and Making It Work), and really he can’t picture leading the 501st with anyone OTHER than Rex at his side.

And then Rex keeps not coming back. But Vader still doesn’t remove him from the system. For years and years. And eventually everyone stops mentioning it to him because they tend to get force-murdered if they do. 

So long story short, Rebels-era Rex is technically the commanding officer of Vader’s Fist, and the system still recognizes his codes and lets him in, and technically if he walked up to any stormtrooper while wearing his old helmet, the networks would recognize him and tell the stormtrooper that’s your CO. So if Rex realized this, he could just waltz in and take control of the most feared stormtrooper legion in the galaxy and as long as Vader wasn’t around, no one would stop him (they’d all be very confused, but they wouldn’t stop him). And maybe vader walks up at this point like “what the hell is going on here” and sees Rex and is just like “REX there you are where the FUCK have you been?” and Rex is like “uuuhhhh i had engine trouble on the way back from Mandalore” and it’s been 20 years but Vader knows how shitty Rex is at piloting and really anything involving flying and ships so he’s like “sounds legit”

Two separate people commented on every chapter of WDID, and folks if you’re reading this, you absolutely made my day 🥺

Alright, so I might have been slightly obsessed with Cody since he went from stoic professional to spin-kicking a droid within the first 5 minutes of the pilot movie.

I’m not sorry.

Glitch was supposed to be a throwaway character but now I’m Attached™️ and in the process of making him a whole squad.

Empire-controlled Kamino is a lot stricter than in the Jedi days, no hair cuts, no tattoos, so when he’s busted out he absolutely goes wild. At one point Waxer has to intervene because he’s fried his hair from bleaching and re-dying it too many times (as a medic he should know better but...), so he settles on shaving different patterns into the side.

Jedi Master Mace Windu and his padawan, Depa Billaba.

Order 66 AU where Palpatine made one (1) fatal mistake and that was putting the Jedi into the military to whittle them down before his big damn triumph. You know. Like canon. Except that friendship is magic and love overcomes all odds and the Jedi have been right down there in the trenches saving clones, sharing their joys and griefs, and dying for them, while what's Palpatine and the Senate done for them lately, hm?

Palpatine: Execute Order 66!

Cody: . . . Yes my lord.

Cody: Welp guess we're Separatists.

Obi-Wan: We're what.

Cody: I presume you'll be taking control of the droid armies now?

Obi-Wan: What.

Cody: Or is the plan for Generals Windu or Yoda to handle that?

Obi-Wan: ... what....

Cody: Gotta say, sir, you should've done this years ago. The infiltration plot didn't need to go this long.

Obi-Wan: Infil--?

Cody: At least the rest of the war should take about a week without having to answer to the Republic's politicians.

Obi-Wan: . . . Hello, Force? It's me, Obi-Wan. I have a few questions...

TBH!!!!!!!!! Curse You!!!!!
