May The Fourth 2023

Back after missing a year! 

My blanket DNW: nominated character death, grapic/explicit/sexual violence, cruelty/death to animals and children

TREATS WELCOMED

 

My general preferences are here, but here is the modified version of my Star Wars preferences:

So, I'm a Star Wars fan who's a little sad that the Extended Universe got handwaved away - I really loved Timothy Zahn and Michael Stackpole, and my requests reflect that.  I am a Legends girl at heart, and you can’t go wrong if you write me something that belongs in either a Timothy Zahn book or Stackpole’s Rogue Squadron books.

However, I'm also a Star Wars fan who thought Rogue One totally and completely rocked it out of the park. Loved it loved it loved it!

Please don't refer to anything that happened after the godawful Vector Prime and switch to Del Rey.

I'm also not a very active Star Wars fan.

I enjoyed the sequels (although that like is dwindling more every time I see a stupid handwave plot post) but didn’t LOVE them, especially after the ridiculously evident fact that they DIDN’T HAVE A PLAN.

I love the original three.

I am NOT a fan of the prequels.  I wanted to like them, but I just couldn’t get past Phantom Menace and the stupidity of traveling around with young Obi-Wan Kenobi and falling for Anakin.   I’m not familiar with the animated SW shows, and my ignoring the sequels means I also missed all the “Jedi don’t have emotional attachments” which maybe should have gone down as a bad idea. 

I’m not currently familiar with The Mandalorian other than Baby Yoda memes.  I enjoyed Kenobi, have not watched Andor.

I did enjoy the zaniness of the Star Wars Lego Holiday special, so feel free to play off that.

My heart is with the original 3 (and Rogue One, now that it exists) and the "waved away" Extended Universe.  The more they make me feel like it requires me to do homework, the less interested I am.

I'm also not really a Luke fan. Give me Han and Wedge any day of the week. And maybe Ben Kenobi.  Or an AU where Biggs Darklighter becomes the most famous pilot from Tatooine.  And maybe find some way to make Rey a Kenobi descendant…?  I really wanted her to be a Kenobi descendant.

On all my requests, I'm TOTALLY and completely fine with the idea of the characters being in a tapcafe or cantina or bar telling stories about "that one time" - or having encounters in bars.

I like "what-if" AUs, but not "Star Wars: The Dorms".

Please feel free to mix and match my requests.  If you figure out some way to work them all in, I guarantee you I will enjoy it!

Also, after watching some of the original Thundercats, I think it is obvious: Jaga is a Jedi Master.  Feel free to run with this.

My overall DNW are extreme/explicit/sexual violence, nominated character death, cruelty to children/animals.

On to my requests!

 

 

 

Corran Horn & Mirax Terrik & Wedge Antilles & Han Solo

Corran Horn/Mirax Terrik

Corran Horn & Mara Jade

Corran Horn & Nejaa Halcyon

 

The Corellian requests:

I'd love to see Corran getting a force ghost visit from his grandfather.

I'm always down for Corran/Mirax and their relationship. (Combining them with Han/Leia could be very fun. Maybe some diplomatic event that gets steadily less boring? Corellia related? Mirax and Han swapping stories?)

I love Mirax and Corran, especially when she takes him down a few notches.

Wedge & Corran & Mirax & Han: Corellia Forever! The most epic smuggling job ever - or the stories in the bar later. Hijinks ensue. Rogue Squadron timeline or later. Maybe Booster and/or Leia are included?

Corran & Mara Jade: Working together or against each other? Rogue Squadron timeline? Working behind the scenes to keep Luke out of trouble?

I like these all equally.

 

So this is my Corellia/Corran Horn request.  Yes I know he’s a pain in the ass, but I do love him (especially if people take him down a peg or two).  I love the idea that all the Corellians could be drinking buddies, and I am 100% here for the idea that Corellians may have a higher percentage of people who use the Force on a subconscious level but think they’re just lucky.  Never tell them the odds. 

I’m also totally down for you poking some gentle fun at CorSec Corran Horn being a little twitchy at being surrounded by the Corellian Rogues Gallery, even if he is involved with/married to one.

And I didn’t nominate Corran/Erisi  but if you wanted to maybe work in some nightmare/AU where Corran has to get away from her.  In this specific case I am A-OK with Erisi being a nominated character death.

 

 

Wedge Antilles/Leia Organa

Wedge Antilles & Leia Organa

Gavin Darklighter & Biggs Darklighter

Pash Cracken & Wedge Antilles

Wes Janson/Mon Mothma

 

Wedge & Leia - I'd love to see more of this relationship, especially as it is portrayed in the Legends book. Or if you want to take it to TLJ, that would also be acceptable. In this scenario only, I am okay with a Wedge death but it better be a blaze of glory saving someone.

Wedge/Leia - I think a fling could have happened, a little stress relief...

I'm okay with killing Wedge off in the Wedge & Leia scenario, but it better be glorious and heroic. I really miss him in the newer movies. Keep Wedge/Leia in the X-Wing or original series timeframe.

I love love love Wedge Antilles. I'd love something set during original movies, X-Wing books or maybe a look at what he's doing in Last Jedi (or why he's NOT doing anything). I like Poe, but he's no Wedge Antilles…

I have a great affection for Biggs as well, and would love to see him and Gavin hanging out (maybe include Wedge). Or maybe Biggs lives and becomes the most famous pilot a planet called Tatooine ever produced....

Feel free to have any of these ganging up on RS-era Luke somehow.

I admit to a preference for the Wedge of the Rogue Squadron books, with the sly humor and him as the Commander of the Rogues (and their craziness). Maybe an AU where Biggs is in there with him? You could keep Gavin around as well.

For Wedge and Pash, I love their interactions in the X-Wing books.

Wes/Mon Mothma - I saw this suggested, then drew it out for a round of LBD and now I want to know some more...

 

Not really much to add besides WHERE ARE ALL THE PILOTS in the later movies?  I like Poe, but he’s no Wedge Antilles.  Also not opposed to you dragging in the rest of the Rogues for comic relief.  Leia is gone when Wedge finally makes his appearance, but you could do something with that, him remembering her.

For Wedge and Pash, the whole bit where they’re undercover at the museum and Pask is talking about getting his father a souvenir?  That’s peak of what I would like.

 

 

Teneniel Djo/Luke Skywalker

Mara Jade & Teneniel Djo

 

Just don't put Teneniel in the fridge like they do later in the series. I loved young Teneniel and was super disapointed to see what they did to her.

Mara interacting with Teneniel could be fun.

 

So I am totally down for a Legends/ST fusion.  I love the idea that Mara and Luke could help fend off the total disaster the sequels open us on.  I also love the idea of Mara Jade and Rey linking up.  I’ve written a take on this for a previous MayTheFourth, feel free to check out.

I love Teneniel with Luke (maybe not a permanent thing) and think she and Mara Jade could team up to give Luke quite the headache.  Or maybe Mara has an adventure on Dathomir?

 

 

Lyra Erso & Jyn Erso

Tala Durith & Jyn Erso

Cassian Andor/Jyn Erso

Cassian Andor & Wedge Antilles

 

I love Lyra & Jyn (obviously a fan of Every/Someone lives) and I am IN for Lyra lives.

Tala Durith and Jyn could be interesting (or Lyra - WHY didn't I think of that?)

I love Cassian/Jyn.

Cassian and Wedge could also be interesting, in a post R1 setup.

Dear Yoda Letter http://desertvixen.dreamwidth.org/790062.html

 

Lyra and Jyn escape and join the Rebellion?  I’m here for it. Involving Tala (another candidate for Not Dying) would be awesome as well.

 

Cassian/Jyn – I ship it, and would love to see more of them in a Not Everyone Dies scenario (or Everyone Lives is good too!). Wedge and Cassian or Jyn or Tala would be fun to see,
