“Leia looked up at him with a fierce grin, sparkling eyes, and high color blazing on her cheeks, and Han thought again, for the tenth or hundredth–maybe thousandth–time, that the Princess of Alderaan really was never more beautiful than when she was knocking the Sithspit out of somebody.” — Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor (via joelle-rose) -
This, then, is Obi-Wan and Anakin. They are closer than friends. Closer than brothers. Though Obi-Wan is sixteen standard years Anakin’s elder, they have become men together. Neither can imagine life without the other. The war has forged their two lives into one.
Together, they are unstoppable. Unbeatable. They are the ultimate go-to guys of the Jedi Order. When the Good Guys absolutely, positively have to win, the call goes out. Obi-Wan and Anakin always answer.
Whether Obi-Wan’s legendary cleverness might beat Anakin’s raw power, straight up, no rules, is the subject of schoolyard fistfights, créche-pool wriggle-matches and pod-chamber stinkwars across the Republic. These struggles always ends, somehow, with the combatants of both sides admitting it doesn’t matter.
Anakin and Obi-Wan would never fight each other. They couldn’t. They’re a team. They’re the team.
And both of them are sure they always will be.

Rumor mill: Stover continuing Imperial Commando? -
Blade to blade, they were identical. After thousands of hours in lightsaber sparring, they knew each other better than brothers, more intimately than lovers; they were complementary halves of a single warrior.
In every exchange, Obi-Wan gave ground. It was his way. And he knew that to strike Anakin down would burn his own heart to ash. [x]
Confession. I’ve only read this book once. Not because it was bad, but because it absolutely destroyed me.
This book is flat-out amazing. One of the few Star Wars books I’d actually give someone who’s never read a Star Wars book.

Favorite Quote (Part 1):
The dark is generous, and it is patient. It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt.
The dark can be patient, because the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout.
The rain will come and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them life.
The dark’s patience is infinite.
Eventually, even stars burn out. […]
The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins- but in the heart of its strength lies weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
Love is more than a candle.
Love can ignite the stars.
