Dream Walker: Due to a bond between them, Obi-Wan frequently ends up sharing Ben's dreams. This becomes somewhat problematic when Ben has nightmares about the Clone Wars. After Night, this stops thanks to the soul bond between them being severed. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Despite being able to verify that Ben is a future version of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi Council still dismisses his claim that the Sith are alive. Ben is initially frustrated but admits to himself that in a similar situation he'd be equally skeptical. This attitude is called out by Quinlan when he gets a number of Ben's memories, bluntly telling Mace Windu that the problem isn't so much the Sith but that the Jedi refuse to listen. Around that point, partly thanks to the evidence of the Kenobi Report, their attitude shifts to "we don't believe it" to "we need proof to convince everybody else." In Night, Obi-Wan's reaction to seeing the Sleeper appear as a Humanoid Abomination in Ben's mindscape was to tell himself that he doesn't believe in gods. | |

Heroic BSoD | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1439161f | comment |
Following this, Obi-Wan has nightmares from his traumatizing experience with the Yam'rii. This leads to him having a Heroic BSoD in front of Ben. Unfortunately, the Jedi who witness Obi-Wan's breakdown incorrectly assume that it was caused by Ben's Training from Hell. It doesn't help that during the Tovarskl mission, Ben resorted to destroying Obi-Wan's mental shields in order to stop the Jedi from massacring the Kaleesh. This causes Adi Gallia and Master Tahl to confront Ben over his "abusive" treatment of his padawan. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: After Falling, Quinlan gets violent impulses, has the urge to lash out at others, and suffers from extreme mood swings. During his therapy session with Ni Hiella, Quinlan bemoans that he's not going to "get better" and will have to live with the darkness inside him for the rest of his life. This is all very reminiscent of a person struggling with a violent mental illness. | |

Boisterous Bruiser: Khagan Jai Sheelal, better known as General Grievous in Ben's timeline, instead ends up as a cheerful version of this after Obi-Wan negotiates the end of the Huk War and justice for the Kalee. Obi-Wan finds him friendly, but sometimes a bit (a lot) overwhelming, and Ben finds this both amusing and bemusing by turns. | |

Secretly Selfish | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_16bf5630 | comment |
Secretly Selfish: Ben starts to worry that he is this in Night. Obi-Wan's Armor-Piercing Question leads Ben to doubt himself as he realizes that he had several opportunities to help others, yet only intervened if he had something to gain. Case in point, Ben knew from day one that Master Ky Narec was stranded on Rattatak. Despite this, he waited three years before searching for him and only did so because he needed to find Ventress to use as a bargaining chip with the Nightsisters. He was also willing to let the Rattataki people be enslaved by Sinteen warlords and only took down the warlords because Narec and Ventress refused to leave until Rattatak was liberated. | |

Cool Old Guy | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_17501df2 | comment |
The fic really goes out of its way to show the impact the Clone Wars had on Obi-Wan. Ben Naasade's character shows more or less how Obi-Wan would have actually turned out following the events of Episode III. Rather than a Cool Old Master, you end up with someone who appears to be that (albeit in his mid-thirties to begin with), but who also happens to be a Shell-Shocked Veteran with deep-seated psychological scars underneath the thin facade. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Ben has a significant case of this and other unresolved issues regarding Qui-Gon Jinn (who he both loved and resented for his initial rejection and occasional regrets). Since it was with his timeline's version, this Qui-Gon is puzzled by how Ben blows hot and cold towards him, and is deeply troubled by (after Ben cryptically remarks that Qui-Gon reminds him of his old Master) Obi-Wan's observation that Ben's Master was probably "a great Jedi, but not a good man." This all left Ben with an obsessive drive to be the 'perfect' Jedi, per the Code, which ultimately broke both him and his relationship with Anakin, who became a Well Done Son Guy in his own right. As a result, he's much more flexible and gentler with Obi-Wan. Heartbreakingly, in Passage, Qui-Gon all but reveals this (after several hints across the series of his own issues with the very strict and dignified Master Dooku) when he says that in regard to his reluctance to push his boundaries (regarding his use of the Force after losing the ability to sense it, but also in general) comes not from fear of failure, but "disappointment and shame." | |

Master Swordsman | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_17a606bd | comment |
Master Swordsman: Given that he fought in the Clone Wars and has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of Grievous, Dooku, Maul, Ventress, and Vader, Ben is a master lightsaber duellist and easily outclasses most of the other Jedi in the past. During Ben's open challenge for temporary custody of his padawan, he won all but two fights out of a hundred duels—and neither one of those was fought with a lightsaber. Of every duellist seen, only Windu manages to beat Ben onscreen, in a spar set near the start of the series, and that by going all out, when Ben's more or less teasing him. It's also mentioned that Ben sparred with Dooku when he was in the Temple, and while the result was not stated, it was apparently magnificent to watch. Dooku, naturally, is a superb swordsman as a particular master of Makashi and his prowess is occasionally demonstrated as he starts to appear in the series. Obi-Wan spends a long time assuming that he's barely competent with a lightsaber, in part because Ben keeps teaching him Shii-Cho, which is the most basic form of them all, and refuses to let him train with other Padawans. As it turns out, this because he was invoking Achievements in Ignorance, teaching Obi-Wan techniques fit for seasoned Jedi Masters, and Obi-Wan ends up capable of mowing through multiple Senior Padawans, each with most of a decade of experience on him, and later on a par with most Knights before he even reaches the level of Senior Padawan. | |

Related Differently in the Adaptation: In Canon and Legends, Korkie Kryze was Satine’s nephew - though there was a lot of fan speculation otherwise. Here, in the original timeline, he was her son born out of a Teen Pregnancy caused by Obi-Wan/Ben. In the changed timeline, Korkie is a girl... born out of a Teen Pregnancy caused by Obi-Wan. | |

Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: In Remembrance: Part II, Ben explains to Mace Windu and Shaak Ti that he nudged Pong Krell towards the Dark Side to expose Krell's darker tendencies and have them dealt with. It quickly becomes clear to both Jedi Masters that Ben was more interested in beating and humiliating Krell. Shaak Ti points out that he could have alerted the Healers that Krell was vulnerable to the Dark Side and Mace can sense the sheer hatred that Ben holds against Krell. This makes Mace realize that Ben wanted Pong Krell to Fall and was motivated by vengeance for Krell's actions in the future. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1994ba0b | comment |
In Remembrance: Part II, Ben admits that he intentionally drove Pong Krell to the Dark Side by exploiting Krell's fear of losing in their sparring matches. Ben's intent was to have Krell eventually lose his temper and expose his vulnerability to the Dark Side. This succeeded too well, since Krell winds up going past the Rage Breaking Point and completely falls to the Dark Side in an effort to kill Ben. Part of the problem, it's noted, is that Ben was enjoying it a bit too much. | |

A Father to His Men | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_19d06ef7 | comment |
A Father to His Men: Ben was this to the clones in the 212th Battalion. He even took to calling them vod (Mandalorian term for "brother") and personally knew every trooper under his command. He holds a serious grudge against Pong Krell after the latter attempted to kill his men during the Umbara campaign, one he carries over into the new timeline—he challenges Krell time after time, knowing that he'll always accept, and always teases him with victory before beating him. He claims to be trying to tease out the Dark Side tendencies before Krell Falls in earnest ( which happens anyway), but others note that Ben was enjoying it too much and it was clearly personal. | |

Always Someone Better | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: Thanks to Ben, Obi-Wan eventually becomes one of the most talented and gifted padawans in the Jedi Order. It’s still not enough against a younger Darth Maul. When Obi-Wan finally encounters Maul for the first time, he’s no match for the Sith and only survives because he had Sian to back him up and buy time for Ben to arrive. | |

And This Is for... | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_19e41d8f | comment |
Nowhere else is this more clear than during the climax of Coronation, when Ben finally fights Darth Sidious in a no holds barred duel. Throughout the fight, Ben savors the fear in Sidious's eyes as he slowly overpowers him and finishes his mental And This Is for... speech with "This is for me". He then derives pleasure from Force-choking the Sith while watching him writhe around on the floor in pain. When Obi-Wan pleads with Ben to spare Palpatine's life and take him into custody, Ben feels anger at being "pulled away from a vengeance that is rightfully his to take." | |

Underestimating Badassery | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: When Ben challenges each of the Siniteen warlords terrorizing Rattatak to a gladiatorial duel, his first two opponents brush him off as an arrogant mercenary and don't even bother bringing weapons for their match. After Ben curb-stomps his first Siniteen, the next warlord still underestimates him and attributes his first victory to pure luck. Once the second warlord goes down, the two remaining start to treat him seriously. | |

Conditioned to Accept Horror | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1b465242 | comment |
Conditioned to Accept Horror: One of the reasons that Ben has trouble connecting with other Jedi is due to this trope. Because he spent years fighting in the Clone Wars, he's more used to harsh conditions compared to the Jedi in the past. On the one hand, it means that he's a ludicrously skilled duellist who flattens everyone who challenges him. On the other hand, he's twitchy, ruthless, and has a horrifying case of PTSD. | |

The Cameo: Chirrut ÃŽmwe and Baze Malbus from Rogue One, show up in Remembrance and Remembrance: Part II when Shmi and Shaak Ti visit Jedha to build Shmi's lightsaber. Garm Bel Iblis — one of the Rebel Alliance's leaders in the Legends continuity — appears as a senator negotiating for a trade deal between Corellia and Kalee that Obi-Wan is asked to mediate for in Remembrance: Part II. He returns in Tarot as part of Corellia’s delegation at the trade summit on Chandrila. Sha Koon, Plo Koon’s niece from Legends, appears in What is Sown watching Ben’s duel with Plo Koon. She also appears in Remembrance: Part III where she and her uncle discuss Shmi’s appointment to the Council of Reassignment. Kazdan Paratus briefly appears in Zodiac, where he's shown supervising Anakin and Jax as they ride on bumper cars that he built. Merrin, from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, appears in Night as a little girl in Mother Talzin's Nightsister clan. Additionally, Jaro Tapal has a minor appearance in Ripples as a member of a secret group formed by Yaddle to fight the Sith. Rav Bralor, Vhonte Tervho, and Kal Skirata from the Republic Commando series appear in one chapter of Sa Sarad where Ben assigns them the task of training Jango's army. | |

The Ghost: Darth Plagueis gets alluded to a few times by other characters. In Night, Komari offhandedly remarks how Dooku’s meeting with Senator Palpatine was interrupted by a "crusty old Muun from the Banking Guilds". Komari later tells Sian that she formed a friendship of sorts with Plagueis and is learning how to play Shah-tezh from him. Plagueis finally appears in the last chapter of Coronation when he abducts Ben with the intent of training him as his new apprentice after the death of Palpatine. | |

She also gives Tholme a tackle hug in Night just before Tholme and Quinlan follow Ben and Obi-Wan on their journey to Rattatak. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Ben has a tendency of keeping everyone else in the dark whenever he acts. This initially leads to many cases of Headbutting Heroes from Jedi who misunderstood the situation. In Ruin, Ben joins the Republic's delegation to Tovarskl, a Yam'rii colony world being invaded by the genocidal Kaleesh. From his knowledge of the future, Ben knows the Yam'rii are Villains With Good Publicity and that the Kaleesh are Good All Along. Since he didn't bother explaining this to the other Jedi before he left, this nearly leads to a case of Let's You and Him Fight between the Jedi and Kaleesh after the Yam'rii secretly imprison Ben and claim the Kaleesh killed him. Following this, Obi-Wan has nightmares from his traumatizing experience with the Yam'rii. This leads to him having a Heroic BSoD in front of Ben. Unfortunately, the Jedi who witness Obi-Wan's breakdown incorrectly assume that it was caused by Ben's Training from Hell. It doesn't help that during the Tovarskl mission, Ben resorted to destroying Obi-Wan's mental shields in order to stop the Jedi from massacring the Kaleesh. This causes Adi Gallia and Master Tahl to confront Ben over his "abusive" treatment of his padawan. Played with in Sa Sarad. Prior to joining Jango's army, Ben tries to avert this by leaving behind notes for Windu which inform him about how the Yinchorri attacked the Jedi Temple in Ben's timeline. However, Ben disguised his warnings as vague historical reports and was counting on Mace to be able to decipher them. Although Mace does figure out what the true meaning behind his notes, Ben failed to include how and when the Yinchorri would attack. Thus the only thing Windu can really do with this information is have security at the Temple tightened, something he was going to do anyway. Because of this, the Yinchorri successfully plant a bomb in the Temple which causes catastrophic damage. In Tarot, this costs Ben a major victory. While he warned Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon about the Sith and the need to take Maul alive, he neglected to tell Qui-Gon's padawan, Sian, any of this. So when Ben is on the verge of defeating Maul, Sian tries to "help" by going for the killing blow, unaware that Ben wanted Maul alive. Ben then has to draw his attention away from Maul to stop Sian, giving Maul the chance to escape. While Ben is initially furious with Sian, he quickly recognizes that Sian didn't fully understand the situation and was only trying to help. | |

The Spook: Ben Naasade is this to most of the other Jedi. Since he's a time-traveler, the Jedi obviously have no record of his existence and to many, he seems to have popped up out of nowhere. The natural assumption is that he's an ex-Jedi Shadow, though even they find him mysterious and disturbing. | |

Headbutting Heroes: Early on, Ben often finds himself being confronted by Master Tahl and Knight Adi Gallia, who disagree with Ben's teaching methods of Obi-Wan and constantly question his actions. This culminates in Ben's open challenge for temporary custody of Obi-Wan, which sees him duel both Tahl and Gallia... and over a hundred other knights over the course of the series, many of whom try their luck just to be the one who bet Ben Naasade. Ben being Ben, it turns out that he's exploiting this to get the Jedi to polish their sabre skills. | |

Mythology Gag | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: A lot of the Tatooine slave mythos in the series are taken directly from Fialleril's Double Agent Vader series. In True Colors, Ben mentions that a private mercenary organization called the Nova Guard was responsible for handling the security of Chandrila's medical supplies. The Nova Guard is an actual group from both the canon EU and Legends, having been featured in the RPG sourcebooks. In Lineage, a Death Watch member that Ben and Jango captures and interrogates is named Tam Saxon, a reference to the character Gar Saxon from the canon EU. In Chapter 21 of Coronation, just as Ben is about to finish off a disarmed Palpatine, Obi-Wan steps in and pleads with Ben to let the Sith live. The whole scene mirrors Anakin begging Mace Windu to not kill Palpatine in Revenge of the Sith. Unlike in that film, Ben actually does succeed in killing him here. | |

The Dreaded | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Palpatine/Darth Sidious is this for Ben. Ben knows that he stands no chance of beating Sidious in a straight-up fight and he admits to his holocron that he’s terrified of him. When Ben visits Bail and Breha, he comes close to telling them that Palpatine was responsible for trying to assassinate Obi-Wan but stops at the last second out of fear that Palpatine will find out somehow and target them as well. When he tries to discuss the subject of Sidious to his holocron, he enters a Thousand-Yard Stare and sits in silence for four hours. When he finally confronts Sidious at the end of Coronation, he finds to his surprise and vicious glee that since Sidious has not had three years of the galactic-scale horror of the Clone Wars to feed off, he's not by any means the powerhouse that he was in Ben's time. He's a frighteningly powerful Sith Lord, a true monster... but he isn't anything more than that. As a result, Ben beats him and kills him. On a more abstract level, he's also terrified of Sidious' master, precisely because a) he knows nothing about them, b) they'd have to be scary enough to control Sidious. The Anzat species are something of a bogeyman to the Jedi. They are a race of space vampires who feed on Force-sensitives. The first time that Bant encounters one, she is paralyzed by fear upon realizing exactly what she is dealing with. The Jedi in general, with outside perspectives such as Jango's showing how scary they can seem to non Force Sensitives. Ben is very aware of this, and points out to both Shmi (who's wondering about the rules of attachment) and Jango (who's exasperated about how the Jedi can be so terrifying one moment and so stupidly kind the next) that this is why the Jedi are so firmly The Fettered, because they know what they could be, and they're terrified of it. Hence attitudes to the Sith, who are not just Jedi off the leash, but far, far worse. | |

Hidden Depths: The normally strict Healer Ni Hiella is also an experienced player of sabacc, a skill she picked up from bartering for medical supplies in the Outer Rim. She also enjoys drinking, bringing three different types of liquor to the sabacc game that Ben hosts at the end of The Desert Storm. | |

Fantasy-Forbidding Father: During Ben's exile on Tatooine, he told a toddler Luke stories about the Jedi. This immediately led to Owen throwing him out, yelling that Luke will never become a Jedi, and forbidding Ben from ever visiting them again. Given that this was as the Empire was tightening its grip, and considering how Anakin turned out, this is a little more understandable than most examples. | |

Unequal Pairing: Discussed by Tholme and Shaak Ti after Shmi’s kiss with him. Tholme is understandably hesitant about entering a relationship with Shmi, given that a) she’s younger than him, b) she's still a Padawan while he's a Master, and c) she was a former slave to boot. Shaak Ti counters by pointing out that Shmi is a fully consenting adult and that it was only a kiss. | |

Combined with Satine and Bo-Katan's other sibling being Adapted Out, it is all but stated by Ben - who suspected it but did not think about it further - that the Korkie Kryze from canon wasn't Satine's nephew liked he claimed, but rather her and Obi-Wan's son. He reveals this, heartbroken, to Jango, who understandably suggests that they get phenomenally drunk. | |

After Obi-Wan demonstrates the new lightsaber form he created as part of Ben's test for Knighthood to the Jedi Council, Mace is so impressed that he decides to nominate Obi-Wan to be given the rank of Jedi Master. Obi-Wan refuses since he had just been made a Jedi Knight. As of Minding the Gap, Obi-Wan has had to turn down a promotion to Jedi Master on a monthly basis. | |

Power Of Hate: Shmi Skywalker is an unusually positive example of this. The abusive treatment she faced from her slavers made her hate them so much that she is determined to never be like them.

Lukka also qualifies. It brought Ben back as part of a long-term Batman Gambit to shape Obi-Wan into a Jedi who could train Anakin into who he needed to be, and is powerful enough that even the Sleeper won't risk crossing it, remarking that "there are consequences, even for the likes of me." However, it's more or less benevolent, and is surprisingly polite when it possesses Obi-Wan, only doing so because a) he'd walked out of his body, b) it thought that Ben and Obi-Wan were trying to get its attention, and it leaves without complaint Ben asks it to. | |

The Man Behind the Man: In Ben's Bad Future, Palpatine was the Big Bad who took over the galaxy and eradicated the Jedi Order. In the fic proper, he is The Man Behind the Man for many of the series' conflicts. On a more personal level, Ben sees Palpatine as the cataclysm for all his past failures and regrets. Even though this version is a Disc-One Final Boss who never evolves beyond his role as Plagueis' Dragon-in-Chief, his death still leaves an everlasting impact on the story, symbolizing the conclusion of Ben's character arc and signaling that nothing about the future is truly set in stone anymore. | |

Properly Paranoid: During the Haunting arc, Quinlan and Taria are assigned to investigate an illegal Death Stick operation in the Coruscant underworld. Obi-Wan is convinced that the Sith are responsible for this and tells Quinlan his suspicions. Taria finds the idea of the Sith peddling drugs on the Undercity's streets more than a little ridiculous (though she is careful not to directly express her opinions to him). Only, it turns out that he was right. The one behind the drug operation is none other than Komari Vosa, who had secretly aligned with the Sith and was using her Bando Gora cult to distribute Death Sticks amongst the Undercity's populace. | |

Double Meaning | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_3b4abb27 | comment |
Double Meaning: In Night, Obi-Wan experiences a Force vision in the Nightsisters' swamp where he encounters a mythosaur. This encounter is symbolic of Ben's failed relationship with Anakin. Obi-Wan is given a plush doll that suddenly transforms into a baby mythosaur. At first, Obi-Wan is affectionate towards the baby but becomes startled when the mythosaur rapidly grows up. As it grows, the mythosaur is clearly in pain, but Obi-Wan has no idea how to help it. This reflects how Ben was given Anakin as a padawan with no preparation and had no idea how to raise him. Like the mythosaur, Anakin had a very troubled life growing up and Ben didn't know how to help him. As an adult, the mythosaur turns aggressive and lashes out at everything around it. Obi-Wan doesn't want to hurt the creature and tries to calm it down to no avail. When the mythosaur tries to attack the Nightsisters' settlement, Obi-Wan finally resorts to using the Force against it. Likewise, when Anakin turned to the Dark Side, Ben didn't want to fight him and only relented after Anakin harmed Padmé. When the mythosaur starts sinking into the swamp, it panics and mutilated itself, all while Obi-Wan looks on in horror. This is a Continuity Nod to Revenge of the Sith, where Ben watches as Anakin is burnt alive by Mustafar's lava banks. The difference is that while Ben left Anakin to burn, Obi-Wan puts an end to the mythosaur's suffering with a Mercy Kill. This is made even more clear by the following conversation between Obi-Wan and Ghost!Anakin: | |

Feeling Their Age: From his debut, Ky Narec is shown to be well past his prime. His age has caused him to slow down and has made him weaker. He’s shown to struggle with physical feats that his padawan Asajj can pull off with ease. Ben's first attempt to teach Obi-Wan how to redirect lightning (something that he could do with ease early in the series) falls flat when he gets overwhelmed by the electricity and is left retching on the ground in pain. This is the first sign that Ben's age is starting to catch up with him. | |

O.C.

Here, she's characterized as being somewhat quirky, wanting to learn an unconventional form of lightsaber combat and writing holonovels about her peers in her spare time. Later on, however, she becomes more typically courageous, as in her fight with Maul. | |

Accidental Kidnapping: In Deception, Obi-Wan is knocked unconscious after being shot with a sniper rifle while acting as a bodyguard for Vas Yurik, who recently became the target of a dozen bounties. Rako Hardeen — the sniper and a Mandalorian bounty hunter — freaks out upon realizing that he just shot Obi-Wan Kenobi. Believing Obi-Wan to be dead and fearing retribution from Jango, he drags Obi-Wan's "corpse" aboard his starship and flies off with the intention of hiding the evidence in hopes that Jango never finds out. Of course, Obi-Wan is still alive, turning it into this trope. Obi-Wan actually uses this to his advantage and convinces Rako to help him by threatening to inform Jango about his actions. | |

The first time Asajj called Narec "master", he panicked (due to the meaning of the title from Asajj’s past as a slave) before realizing that it was her way of calling him "Papa". | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Because of Ben, Jango Fett becomes much more heroic compared to his canon self. He becomes one of Ben’s closest friends and even a pillar of support for him. He also mentors Obi-Wan and sides against the Sith rather than help them. However, on more than one occasion it is gently pointed out to him that he is still fundamentally the same man — just one now aware (and horrified by) how far he's willing to go to get revenge, pointed at the bad guys, and with several Morality Chains (Ben, Obi-Wan, and Satine). In Legends, Komari Vosa falls to the Dark Side and becomes the leader of the Bando Gora following her banishment from the Temple. Thanks to Ben and Obi-Wan convincing Dooku to take her back as his Padawan, Komari doesn't Fall and ends up becoming a Cool Big Sis for Sian. Chapter 9 of Mirage subverts this, as Lady Livion's POV shows that Komari is being drawn into the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis with the Jedi around her being none the wiser. Because Obi-Wan helped liberate the Kaleesh people, Qymaen Jai Sheelal (Grievous's past self) doesn't develop a hatred of the Jedi and ultimately becomes an enthusiastic ally to Obi-Wan. In Legends, Bruck Chun was a bully who joined Xanatos Du Crion and remained as a villain up to his death. Here, he ultimately rejects Du Crion and deeply regrets spying for him. He ends up joining the Temple Guard to atone for his actions. | |

It gets to the point where even Palpatine doesn't seem to have twigged to anywhere near his significance, instead opting to try and assassinate Obi-Wan (who rather accidentally thwarted several Sith plans) rather than Ben (who is far, far more dangerous). This is not always a good thing, as others are aware of this, and his therapist actually points out that Ben is so prone to doing this that he does it automatically to get what he wants. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The series ends on one. Ben has largely come to terms with his traumatic past and has successfully raised Obi-Wan into becoming a Jedi Knight. The Jedi Order as a whole are much better off than where they were before and many characters are given happier endings than their canon counterparts. Most importantly, Palpatine is exposed as a Sith and killed, ensuring that the Bad Future Ben came from will never take place. However, in the process of killing Palpatine, Ben gives in to his desire for vengeance and almost falls to the Dark Side. He is then kidnapped by Darth Plagueis, who intends to make him his next apprentice. Also, with Sidious dead and Ben missing, the Jedi have no more leads on the Sith and are back to square one in their investigation. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Most of Ben's Guilt Complex stems from his belief that the entire Clone Wars could have been prevented had he listened to Dooku's warning about Sidious at the start of the war. Ylar Kala points out that he was young and didn't have access to the same knowledge that he has now. | |

Shirtless Scene | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_4583a262 | comment |
After her first novel becomes an instant bestseller, Sian goes on to author an entire holonovella series which retells Ben and Obi-Wan's various adventures. Obi-Wan is especially mortified to discover that Sian had Padmé draw dramatic artwork for the books, artwork that depicts a red-haired teenage Jedi that is clearly himself with only the barest of cosmetic changes. It seems that the books are especially popular amongst teenage girls, hence why the cover art for the second holonovel features Obi-Wan shirtless. The next time Obi-Wan visits Satine, he's embarrassed to see a poster for Sian's novels hung up in her room. By Coronation, Sian's novels have become so popular that even Adi Gallia is shown listening to an audiobook adaptation in her spare time. | |

Neutrality Backlash: Duke Adonai Kryze, Mandalore's acting ruler, is dealing with this dilemma as his moderate stance makes him a punching bag for extremists on both sides of the aisle. On one hand, he's fighting a war against the Evil Reactionary Death Watch, who seek to return Mandalore to its Glory Days as savage conquerors. On the other side are the New Mandalorians, Actual Pacifist radicals that want to erase all of Mandalore's culture, who undermine his rule through mass protests and (incorrectly) blame him for starting the war. | |

Hearing the locals on Tatooine say that Gardulla is coming for a visit is what tips Ben off that he’s somehow in the past. | |

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_4bc2a19c | comment |
Villain Forgot to Level Grind: This is how Ben is able to defeat Darth Sidious in Coronation. Since the Clone Wars hadn’t happened yet, Sidious had yet to feed off the galaxy-wide suffering caused by the conflict and the Light Side's presence in the galaxy wasn't being smothered by years of galactic war. This means that Sidious was much weaker than his future counterpart. Meanwhile, Ben has a lifetime of experience fighting the Sith and had spent the past seven years growing in power through constant training. As a result, Ben is actually stronger than Sidious at this point and he overpowers the Sith Lord with surprising ease. | |

Shock and Awe | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_4c798fd5 | comment |
Shock and Awe: The Jedi have their own version of Force lightning called Emerald Lightning. Unlike Sith lightning, which draws upon the desire to inflict pain, Emerald Lightning is generated when a Force-user accepts pain and focuses it outward in an electrical blast. This technique is normally reserved for Kel Dorian Jedi, such as Plo Koon, whose homeworld sees electrical storms on a normal basis. Ben is able to redirect lightning, a skill which he picked up on Tatooine from the lightning storms caused by the static from the planet's sandstorms. He later teaches Obi-Wan to do it. | |

Trauma Button | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_4e9fe57d | comment |
Trauma Button: Ben has several due to his Dark and Troubled Past. A lot of Ben's trauma is centered around General Grievous. In Ruin, while lying on the ground after being wounded by the Yam'rii, Ben almost panics when he sees Jai Sheelal (Grievous's past self). The idea of being vulnerable and weak with his future Arch-Enemy standing above him nearly triggers him. In Remembrance, after Pong Krell stabs Ben with his lightsaber, Ben's injuries cause him to hallucinate his attacker as Grievous. This triggers Ben into using the Dark Side to nearly kill Krell by attempting a Literal Disarming. In Remembrance: Part II, Ben vehemently refuses to allow the Healers to implant him with artificial organs due to the process reminding him of Grievous's cyborg nature and having a nightmare of transforming into Grievous. At the beginning of Fever, hearing a transmission warning everyone to stay away from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant causes Ben to have a brief panic attack, as it reminds him of the transmission he sent out during Order 66. In Tarot, Ben nearly relives one of the worst moments of his life. He and Qui-Gon duel against Darth Maul and he is once again helpless as Maul impales Qui-Gon with his lightsaber. He finally breaks down into tears when Obi-Wan is able to heal Qui-Gon since it causes Ben to see himself as a failure because he couldn't save his master in his original timeline. | |

Liar Revealed | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_4ee61c1f | comment |
Liar Revealed: Discussed in Chapter 8 of Mirage. One of Ben's greatest fears is that Obi-Wan and Shmi will stop loving him once they learn the truth about his identity. Shmi’s reaction when Ben confides his fears to her is simultaneously tearjerking and heartwarming. She actually believes him when he says that knowing his secret might make her hate him and finds herself unable to offer forgiveness for whatever Ben is hiding from her. Instead, she assures him that she’s willing to wait until he feels he’s ready to tell her the truth, while privately hoping that he never does. Eventually, she tells him that she doesn't care about who he was and what he did, instead that she (platonically) loves the man he is now. As for Obi-Wan, he's mostly baffled, but comes to terms with it remarkably quickly. | |

Broad Strokes: The series takes this approach in regards to the original timeline. Events from both Canon and Legends are often directly referenced, with elements from both being used throughout the story. However, the author still takes certain liberties with minor details from both Canon and Legends. A good example of this is in Night, which features the Sleeper, a character taken directly from the canon novel Dark Disciple. However, the events of that novel itself (including Ventress' death) are given the discontinuity treatment as Ben remembers briefly running into Ventress during his exile on Tatooine. | |

Actual Pacifist | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_557a31ce | comment |
The New Mandalorians deconstruct Actual Pacifists. Given that the Mandalorians are by and large a Proud Warrior Race in the middle of a Civil War, the New Mandalorians' refusal to contribute to the war effort makes them The Load for their allies. Also, because they see any act of violence as evil, they oppose their own allies just as much as their enemies, further weakening Mandalore's already unstable government. Finally, it’s pointed out that while pacifism is a noble principle, it only works if the other side is honorable enough to not strike down an unarmed opponent. Seeing as how the "other side" is the Death Watch, the New Mandalorians’ ideals end up coming across as both ignorant and naïve. | |

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_56c55ed8 | comment |
I Am Not Left-Handed: During Ben's open challenge for custody of his padawan, it soon becomes clear that he's intentionally holding back since he always wins the matches despite only appearing to be slightly more skilled than his opponents. When Qui-Gon Jinn decides to take up the challenge, Ben — thanks to his issues with Qui-Gon from the original timeline — doesn't hold back and defeats him almost immediately. | |

Power Incontinence | |

Power Incontinence: During Shmi's pregnancy, she experiences mood swings which she then projects onto other people using the Force. It's mostly harmless, and sometimes hilarious. | |

Achievements in Ignorance | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_57b74bd4 | comment |
Obi-Wan spends a long time assuming that he's barely competent with a lightsaber, in part because Ben keeps teaching him Shii-Cho, which is the most basic form of them all, and refuses to let him train with other Padawans. As it turns out, this because he was invoking Achievements in Ignorance, teaching Obi-Wan techniques fit for seasoned Jedi Masters, and Obi-Wan ends up capable of mowing through multiple Senior Padawans, each with most of a decade of experience on him, and later on a par with most Knights before he even reaches the level of Senior Padawan. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Much to Ben’s anger, the Senate didn't consider the clone troopers to be living beings; part of the reason why the Jedi took command was to protect the clones, who had little-to-no rights and would have been used as slaves regardless. The reason for Cody's status as an Almighty Janitor was because he was banned from having a high rank due to being a clone. | |

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_57c78f8e | comment |
Hijacked Destiny: Sian unknowingly steals Obi-Wan's destiny as Maul's Arch-Enemy by being the one to cut off his limbs and get him excommunicated from the Sith in retaliation for nearly killing Qui-Gon. Unlike most examples of this trope, Ben is relieved to learn that Obi-Wan will never have to deal with becoming the target of Maul's undying vengeance. | |

Opportunistic Bastard | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_5a371c8f | comment |
Opportunistic Bastard: When Hondo is asked by Ben for the location of Rattatak, Hondo convinces Ben to allow him and his crew to tag along. Upon arriving at Rattatak, Hondo wastes no time raiding the other pirates in the area and stealing their ships. Then, after Ben asks him to attack the Siniteen warlords, Hondo deliberately makes an unreasonable demand and pretends to leave when Ben turns him down. This forces Ben to resort to Challenging the Chief, causing all of the warlords to leave their strongholds to answer his challenge. With the warlords now distracted, Hondo uses the opportunity to attack each of the now undefended strongholds and seize the Siniteen warlords' hoarded wealth for himself, effectively making him the new ruler of Rattatak. Even though the Jedi pressure Hondo into abdicating his new throne, he still walks away with a horde of treasure and a fleet of stolen starships. | |

Central Theme: Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil. The horrors of slavery are shown through the experiences of various characters. Shmi's entire worldview is shaped by her life as a slave. Ben still has scars from the Zygerrian slave camps. Most of Tatooine is suffering under the brutal reign of the Hutt Cartel. The Kaleesh were enslaved by the Yam'rii and had their eggs eaten as delicacies. When Ben first found Jango, he had been Made a Slave aboard a spice freighter. The Rattataki had their whole planet taken over by Siniteen slavers. The Nightbrothers are treated as slaves and second-class citizens by the Nightsisters. And the list just goes on and on... | |

My Secret Pregnancy: At the start of Ripples, Ben and Obi-Wan discover that Shmi is pregnant and is trying to keep it a secret until she’s Knighted. It quite quickly becomes an Open Secret, however, and a source of fascination for the younglings (particularly non-mammalian ones), as well as a cause for a lot of very attentive Padawans, Knights, even Masters. Satine is revealed to be pregnant and doing her absolute best to hide it in Mirage, in part because she's 18 and under a lot of pressure, in part because the father is Obi-Wan. | |

Lost Technology: In The Desert Storm, Ben identifies bacta as a form of lost technology. The substance itself was around for eons, but the system that produced it had stopped exporting it after the Jedi’s last war with the Sith nearly saw it run out. Hence why bacta is initially unavailable when Ben travels to the past. It stops being lost technology later in the series after Thyferra resumes exporting it. | |

Help Mistaken for Attack: In Fever, after Aayla gets infected with Temple's Bane, Quinlan uses the Dark Side to purge the virus from her body. This creates a brief misunderstanding with the other Jedi, who hear Aayla's screaming and—sensing the Dark Side—assume Quinlan is attacking her. Obi-Wan uses emergency Nightsister healing on Qui-Gon Jinn, but Jinn instinctively tries to resist having his body destroyed and remade, which contributes to it only partially working. He survives, but loses his ability to sense the Force. | |

Meaningful Echo: When Ben first accepted Obi-Wan as his padawan, he gave Obi-Wan a speech where he admits that while he won't be the type of master Obi-Wan wants, he will teach him the skills he needs for the future. Later in Night, Ben enters a minor Heroic BSoD in response to Obi-Wan's Armor-Piercing Question and tells Obi-Wan that he deserves a better master than himself. Obi-Wan responds by echoing Ben's previous speech to reassure him that he's better than he thinks he is. While speaking with the mirror entity in Night, Ben is asked: "What are you made for?". Ben's answer is a Call-Back to when Anakin asked him a similar question in Labyrinth of Evil. | |

The Jedi in general, with outside perspectives such as Jango's showing how scary they can seem to non Force Sensitives. Ben is very aware of this, and points out to both Shmi (who's wondering about the rules of attachment) and Jango (who's exasperated about how the Jedi can be so terrifying one moment and so stupidly kind the next) that this is why the Jedi are so firmly The Fettered, because they know what they could be, and they're terrified of it. Hence attitudes to the Sith, who are not just Jedi off the leash, but far, far worse. | |

Fighting in the Clone Wars has made Ben this. Aside from being Covered in Scars, his bones have numerous fracture lines, his DNA and RNA are severely damaged, his blood has trace amounts of toxic elements, and he has numerous synthetic organs, and he snarks "oh, good, there's enough of me left to identify after all" when a DNA test reveals that he's a 79% match for Obi-Wan. Healer Ni Hiella describes him as a "sock drawer in a trash compactor". He eventually has to have multiple organs grown and replaced, based on samples of Obi-Wan's DNA because Ben's is just too corrupted. | |

The Shrink: Ylar Kala is a Soul Healer (the Jedi’s version of a shrink) who has Ben as her patient after his TSR is identified. She’s both patient and open-minded when talking with Ben about his past traumas, and does her best given the circumstances to help him recover. | |

Disc-One Final Boss | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_6de71c57 | comment |
Disc-One Final Boss: In a shocking twist, Palpatine/Darth Sidious turns out to be this in the Coronation arc. He spends over twenty stories pulling the strings behind every major conflict and seems ready to take the stage as the Big Bad by the end of Act I... only for Ben to expose him as a Sith during Padmé's coronation and after a truly vicious duel, decapitate him with his lightsaber. Immediately after his death, we discover the identity of the true Big Bad: Darth Plagueis. | |

My Greatest Failure | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_6ee10e0 | comment |
My Greatest Failure: Out of the many regrets that Ben has about his previous life, his greatest regret was not killing Anakin on Mustafar, mostly because it would have been a Mercy Kill. Mirage explores this further. By leaving Anakin to burn, Ben essentially abandoned Anakin to a life as an enslaved killing machine for Palpatine. This is why Ben believes Shmi will hate him if he tells her the truth about himself. She would never forgive him for making her son into a slave. | |

Culture Clash: In Ripples, Ben remembers a Noodle Incident where Ahsoka (a carnivore) horked down a piece of raw meat in front of Anakin, Ben, and their troops, much to their collective horror. In Mandalorian culture, fourteen is considered the age of adulthood. This leads to Ben and Jango arguing in Sa Sarad when Ben refuses to allow any Child Soldiers to enlist in Jango's army. | |

Spared by the Adaptation | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: Master Tahl survives her doomed mission from Legends after Ben advises Yoda to have Qui-Gon accompany her. Ronderu lij Kummar, Grievous's Lost Lenore in Legends, is spared from her original death on Kalee as a result of Ben's scheming and accompanied Jai Sheelal to Tovarskl. She later becomes part of a Ruling Couple alongside Jai Sheelal. Unlike in canon, Ventress survived the Clone Wars in Ben's original timeline. The last time Ben saw her, she was still working as a bounty hunter — though she passed up the chance for the galaxy's biggest bounty (him), buying him a drink as he bought one for her, before they went their separate ways. Master Ky Narec, Ventress's master whose death drove her to the Dark Side, is rescued by Ben and Obi-Wan early on, preventing his canonical death. Because Shmi Skywalker was taken to Coruscant to become a Jedi, she is never killed by the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine. Qui-Gon Jinn survives his duel with Darth Maul thanks to Obi-Wan Kenobi using Nightsister magic to heal his wound but in doing so he loses his connection to the Force. Captain Rozess survives the Yinchorri's attack on the Jedi Temple, albeit heavily injured. Because Ben killed Palpatine before he was able to overthrow his master, Darth Plagueis outlives his apprentice and replaces Sidious as the main antagonist. | |

Jedi are not meant to be soldiers. At the start of the Clone Wars, most Jedi had never seen sustained combat on a galactic scale before. They were given no time to prepare and knew nothing about running a military. The first few battles went exactly as you'd expect, with the clones getting massacred in droves due to the Jedi's inexperienced leadership. It was actually the clone commanders who were responsible for the Republic's victories, yet they never received any credit due to the Senate's Fantastic Racism. Even when the Jedi eventually did get their act together, all the strategies and tactics they used were taught to them by the clones. | |

Friend to All Children | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_75538142 | comment |
Friend to All Children: Ben, consistently, to the point where it's considered one of his most redeeming features even by Jedi who find him terrifying and/or judgemental. He dotes on Anakin, and later Jax and frequently visits the creches, with Quinlan noting that it's practically the one time that he ever feels even close to at peace. When Ben and Obi-Wan go on a Search for a new Jedi youngling to his and Obi-Wan's homeworld, the candidate they find (who gets renamed Beru Ka'ra) is a six-month-old baby girl and Obi-Wan, who chose her, notes that he can sense his oh-so-stoic Master instantly turn to goo the moment she smiles at them. | |

Better the Devil You Know | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_76cde6e | comment |
Better the Devil You Know: Basically the reason Ben doesn't do anything about Palpatine/Sidious as soon as he arrives in the past; without knowing more details about Sidious' Sith Master, he's reluctant to move against the known Sith Lord too soon in case it jeopardizes his future knowledge, whereas leaving Palpatine where he is allows Ben to wait for the right moment to act. It's also worth noting that he sees Palpatine as bad enough, and is a little terrified at the thought of someone scary enough that Palpatine would obey them. | |

For Want of a Nail | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want Of A Nail: As a result of Ben's interference with the past, numerous events diverge from canon. This is also why Ben is hesitant to reveal anything about the future to the Council. Ben's first act upon finding himself in the past was to free Shmi and Anakin from Gardulla the Hutt and bring them both to the Jedi Temple. This leads to Shmi becoming a Jedi herself with Shaak Ti taking her as a padawan. During her Jedi training, Shmi falls in love with Master Tholme and later becomes pregnant with their child, adding another Skywalker to the family. Since Anakin was freed from slavery at an earlier age and had his mother to support him, he doesn't grow up with the same emotional issues he had in canon. Also, since Anakin was brought to the Temple at a younger age, he has an easier time adjusting and making friends with the other younglings. One of these younglings, Jax Pavan, becomes Anakin's Best Friend and later his adopted brother. Because Ben and Obi-Wan help Qymaen Jai Sheelal (General Grievous' past self) liberate his people, Sheelal never develops a hatred for Jedi nor does Kalee experience starvation. Instead, the Kaleesh people become allies with the Jedi, and Kalee later forms a close partnership with Corellia. Since Ronderu lij Kummar was Spared by the Adaptation, Jai Sheelal didn't experience the tragedy that transformed him into his "Grievous" persona. As a result, Sheelal was in a more reasonable mood than his Legends counterpart and was more open to negotiating a compromise with Obi-Wan. Hilariously, they end up in an Odd Friendship, which distinctly bemuses Ben. Ben being the one to free Jango Fett from his enslavement by spice smugglers leads to Jango becoming Obi-Wan's mentor for a month. Jango later "rescues" Bo-Katan from the Death Watch and adopts her as his daughter with the intention of training her as his successor. Ben assigning Obi-Wan to research every Jedi temple leads to Obi-Wan's discovery that the Jedi Order is slowly dying. This is later made public with the Kenobi Report and is the start of a series of major reforms the Jedi Order undertakes. Adults are allowed to join the Order, Jedi masters are permitted to take more than one Padawan learner, and the Jedi Order eventually breaks away from the Republic as a whole and becomes an independent organization. As of chapter 10 of Mirage, Satine is pregnant. By Obi-Wan. In Coronation, Ben kills Palpatine on Naboo leaving Darth Plagueis as the only Sith Lord in the galaxy and the one who will become the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. It also means that Ben will unwittingly become Plagueis' new apprentice. | |

When Lukka picks up the Nightsisters' book itself, the pages become completely blank and Ben can sense that the book's entity is just as scared of Lukka as he is. | |

Shell-Shocked Veteran: Ben has PTSD from his time in the Clone Wars. While he's fine for the most part, he is prone to having flashbacks, experiences panic attacks, and frequently suffers from nightmares about the war, and when he hits a particular stress point it's apparent to anyone familiar with 'TSR' that he's got it bad. Once this becomes public knowledge among the Jedi, he's actually seen in a more sympathetic light, as it explains much of his behavior. | |

Chessmaster Sidekick: Ben is this to the Jedi as a whole. Despite being responsible for all the Jedi Order's major changes — such as the Kenobi Report and the Skywalker Initiative — Ben stays hidden on the sidelines while individuals such as Obi-Wan and Adi Gallia are publicly seen at the forefront. Only the Jedi Council, Fay, and Obi-Wan (eventually) really know his full role — and even Obi-Wan's missing a few pieces, like Ben's true identity — and even then, as Mace irritably observes, Ben's still steadily manipulating them from the shadows. | |

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Remembrance: Part II, Ben admits that he intentionally drove Pong Krell to the Dark Side by exploiting Krell's fear of losing in their sparring matches. Ben's intent was to have Krell eventually lose his temper and expose his vulnerability to the Dark Side. This succeeded too well, since Krell winds up going past the Rage Breaking Point and completely falls to the Dark Side in an effort to kill Ben. Part of the problem, it's noted, is that Ben was enjoying it a bit too much. After Ben is captured by the Death Watch, Jango has their underground base destroyed... only to then learn from a younger Pre Vizla that the base he just blew up was where Ben was being imprisoned, and Ben is now trapped under deep rubble. In Tarot, Sian's attempt to help Ben fight Maul results in Maul escaping and Ben losing his leg in the process. | |

Sudden Downer Ending | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_8124e7a6 | comment |
Sudden Downer Ending: The series ends with Ben having exposed Palpatine as a Sith and killed him. Then, as he is recovering from his wounds in Naboo's hospital, Darth Plagueis abducts him with the intention of training Ben to become Sidious' replacement. | |

Entertainingly Wrong | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_81c4faa3 | comment |
Entertainingly Wrong: Master Tahl initially believes that the reason Ben gives Obi-Wan such Training from Hell was because Obi-Wan became a Padawan later than most and Ben is trying to accelerate his Padawan's training to catch up with the rest. Queen Breha comes to the conclusion that Ben is Obi-Wan's father upon seeing the clear resemblance between the two, leading to a lot of bafflement on Obi-Wan's part when Breha and Bail start treating him not just as their friend's Padawan, but his son. Jango Fett also comes to suspect the same thing until Ben reveals the truth, as do a lot of other Mandalorians, and think they just can't say because of the Jedi's rules about attachment. Ben's attitude is it's "one absurdity to cover another". Obi-Wan's is unclear. At the end of Minding the Gap, Adi Gallia also comes to the same assumption after finally noticing the unmistakable resemblance between Ben, Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan's daughter Korkie. Likewise, when Healer Essja Chias discovers that Ben and Obi-Wan share the same DNA, he assumes they are Long Lost Siblings. Because there is no record of Ben's existence, many Jedi assume that he's a former Shadow. Since this is simpler than the truth, Ben decides to roll with it. | |

Logical Weakness | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_83641c73 | comment |
Logical Weakness: In Night, Ben fights four Siniteen warlords in a series of gladiatorial duels. Due to the large brains of the Siniteen species, all of the warlords are capable of predicting Ben's moves, effectively giving them Combat Clairvoyance. Ben beats three of them by simply moving faster than they can react. | |

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_853b7948 | comment |
Ambiguously Evil: It's unclear whose side Lady Livion is truly on. Given her past, it's highly unlikely she would ever truly align with the Sith, but it's also apparent that her alliance with the Jedi is nothing more than a means to an end. Even back in The Desert Storm series, she kept her discovery that Komari was being corrupted by Plagueis a secret from the other Jedi. The Master's Project reveals that she has been hiding her true strength and isn't as powerless as the Jedi believe. She also aided in Komari's escape by knocking out the Temple Guards chasing her. When Komari asks why she helped her, Livion cryptically replies that she believes Komari can lead her to a person of great interest to her. | |

Broken Pedestal: The Jedi Council becomes one to Ben after he travels into the past. When Ben tries to warn the Council about the Sith's return, the Council's Head-in-the-Sand Management and Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering behavior causes Ben to nearly storm out of the room. Personally experiencing the failings of the Jedi's teachings has caused Ben to lose the reverence he once held for the Jedi Code, preferring the Old Code, prefaced with, "Passion, yet Serenity." | |

Ideal Hero | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_869c31aa | comment |
Obi-Wan Kenobi's characterization as the Ideal Hero gets deconstructed. In both Canon and Legends, Obi-Wan was constantly held up by the Jedi as an embodiment of everything a Jedi should strive to be. Here, we learn that Obi-Wan's status as "the perfect Jedi" is a facade he constructed because he Desperately Craves Affection. Qui-Gon's initial rejection of Obi-Wan caused the latter to develop deep insecurities that turned him into a "Well Done, Son" Guy towards the Jedi Council. His characterization of an Ideal Hero was just his desire for approval getting cranked up to eleven. This was also the source of Anakin's resentment towards Obi-Wan, as he became envious that Obi-Wan was constantly being heaped praise upon by the Council, while he was being alienated by them. | |

Following the events of the Remembrance trilogy, Quinlan Vos discovers Ben's true identity after using his Psychometry on Ben's old lightsaber, though it's unclear whether he remembers after his mind is cleansed in Night. After the Council discovers that Ben suffers from TSR (what they call PTSD in-universe) they assign a Soul Healer to him. The Healer, Ylar Kala, is told the truth about Ben in order to properly give him therapy. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
Black-and-Gray Morality: The Huk War in Ruin is an example of this. The Yam'rii are unquestionably evil, being cannibalistic conquerors who enslaved the Kaleesh, wiped out several other innocent species, and were openly backed by the Trade Federation (and the Sith by extension). The Kaleesh represent the gray morality, as they were victims of the Yam'rii's cruelty and have every right to seek justice. They then wound up taking their revenge too far and engaged in a genocide of the whole Yam'rii species. However, the Kaleesh's leaders turned out to be Reasonable Authority Figures who were happy to negotiate once they were promised that the Yam'rii would be punished by the Republic. | |

That Man Is Dead: Ben calls himself "Naasade",note pronounced nah-sah-day Mandalorian for "nobody", in reference to how his past is gone and he has effectively appeared out of nowhere in the new timeline. It's eventually confirmed that due to his influence, Obi-Wan will not grow up to be like him, so he really is cut off from his own history. | |

Fantastic Fighting Style | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_88d16ae9 | comment |
Fantastic Fighting Style: The Jedi make use of a variety of lightsaber forms, each with its various strengths and weaknesses. Interestingly, Sian wants to master Makashi, Form II (which is basically fencing), with a reverse-grip (and a few Ataru, Form IV, twists). Her grandmaster, Yan Dooku, the master of Makashi, grudgingly notes that she is not terrible. From Dooku, this is high praise. As part of his test for Knighthood, Ben has Obi-Wan create his own lightsaber form. | |

Soldier vs. Warrior | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_8930448 | comment |
Soldier vs. Warrior: This is the initial problem that Ben and Jango face while training their Mandalorian army in Sa Sarad — the Mando'ade are peerless commandoes and work very well in small groups, but they're not very good at working together on an institutional level as a military, whereas the Death Watch's brutal Drill Sergeant Nasty training has resulted in soldiers who work together. Ben takes steps to resolve this, including enforcing a limited mixing of units rather than just ordering them by clan (if nothing else, different clans specialise in different things), and recruiting the men and women who in his timeline trained the GAR. | |

Go Mad from the Revelation | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_89b8822f | comment |
Go Mad from the Revelation: It's hinted on more than one occasion that Ben's extraordinary understanding of the Force comes from spending several years on the edge of insanity on Tatooine. He eventually manages to replicate the results with Obi-Wan, but without Obi-Wan going insane. Quinlan ends up falling to the Dark Side after he uses his Psychometry on Ben's old lightsaber and gets overwhelmed by Ben's memories from the future. No one is entirely surprised, even when it's assumed that it's 'just' Ben, as it's pointed out to Tholme that there is a very big difference between what a teenager like Quinlan can handle and a man like Ben. And as Ben explains, "he's got more than just the shade of me rattling around in there", as Quinlan experiences a Loss of Identity, his memories getting merged with the memories of his future self, Ben, Anakin, Ahsoka, Ventress, and Maul. Once they're sealed off, he manages much more easily, and eventually, they're erased on Dathomir, though he retains both a loose link to the Dark Side and a vague awareness of what he lost from some of the conversations he remembers. | |

Cerebus Retcon: Qui-Gon's Last Request in The Phantom Menace gets treated with this. The fact that Qui-Gon spent his dying moments talking about how important Anakin was instead of telling Obi-Wan how proud he was of him is something that Ben never really got over. Ahsoka fighting in the Clone Wars is made darker when the reader is reminded that she was fourteen at the time. Looking back, Ben has a My God, What Have I Done? moment since he basically enlisted a Child Soldier. | |

Creepy Good: Ben, again. He scares the crap out of the vast majority of Jedi—and, indeed, the vast majority of everyone. Bant outright states early on, "Obi-Wan, your Master is terrifying." For some, this is part of his outrageous appeal (to the point where Sian Jeisel writes cheap holo-novel romances based on Ben's thinly-veiled exploits). For others, this is a cause of mistrust, because they find him legitimately terrifying, and not entirely without reason. | |

Sex Equals Love: Completely averted and openly defied. Word of God states that there is a world of difference between physical attraction, sexual intimacy, and romantic interest. During his exile, Ben slept with Bail and was even offered to be part of a threesome with Bail and Breha. Bail did this solely as a way to comfort Ben and there was never any actual romance between them. Jango eventually sleeps with Ben in Sa Sarad, but this was more about deep trust rather than romantic love. | |

Since only Jedi are permitted to wield lightsabers, any Jedi who happened upon Hondo would assume that his lightsaber was stolen and that the pirate killed the previous owner. | |

Wham Episode | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_8e20979 | comment |
The whole climax of the Coronation arc is, without question, the biggest Wham Episode to date in the series. Obi-Wan and Sian learn that Senator Palpatine is the Sith Lord responsible for destroying the Jedi Order in the Bad Future Ben came from. After an entire series of build-up, Ben exposes Palpatine's true nature as a Sith during Padmé's coronation and engages him in a duel that gets publicly broadcasted to the entire galaxy. The most shocking moment comes in Chapter 21, where Ben kills Palpatine. Finally, it turns out that Palpatine is not the Big Bad of the series. That distinction instead goes to his master Darth Plagueis, who has Ben kidnapped from the hospital with the intention of making him Palpatine's replacement. | |

Invincible Villain: As always, the Sith are one throughout the series. Despite Ben's best efforts and his knowledge of the future, he's only inconvenienced the Sith's Grand Plan. Even with the knowledge that Palpatine is a Sith Lord, Ben is unable to do anything about him and can't even warn the other Jedi without risking the Senate turning against them. When Ben finally exposes Palpatine as a Sith to the public and executes him, he almost immediately discovers that Palpatine's master Plagueis was still alive, meaning that killing Palpatine did nothing to stop the Sith's actual plans and all Ben accomplished was revealing his existence to Plagueis and get himself abducted. | |

Since Anakin was freed from slavery at an earlier age and had his mother to support him, he doesn't grow up with the same emotional issues he had in canon.

Unscrupulous Hero | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_90328f91 | comment |
Unscrupulous Hero: In Coronation, Ben resorts to using extremely unethical and illegal methods in order to finally defeat Palpatine. Fed up with the Jedi's inability to find any solid evidence that would allow them to legally arrest Palpatine, Ben decides to take the law into his own hands and illegally arrests Palpatine during Padmé's coronation under the false pretenses of having been authorized to do so by the Republic. He then pressures Palpatine into revealing his Force powers by subtly threatening to kill him once they are alone, and then uses Force illusions to make it seem as though Palpatine attacked first, justifying Ben's use of violent force against the Senator. After defeating the Sith in a duel, Ben Force-chokes Palpatine before decapitating him while ignoring his attempts to surrender. | |

Demonic Possession: A semi-benevolent version in Mirage, Obi-Wan has his body temporarily taken over by Lukka after accidentally entering a trance during meditation, with the possessor explaining that he could only do it because Obi-Wan strayed so far from his body, and departs without complaint. | |

Guilt-Free Extermination War | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_91c651a1 | comment |
Guilt-Free Extermination War: Downplayed. The reptilian Kaleesh, under the leadership of Qymaen Jai Sheelal, are engaged in one against the insectoid Yam'rii, because the Yam'rii had previously enslaved the Kaleesh for generations and treated Kaleesh eggs as a delicacy. While their cause is portrayed as righteous, and the Yam'rii are severely punished (being stripped of colony worlds — which they had in fact conquered after exterminating the inhabitants), fleet, and fleet building technology, the Kaleesh are made to hold back from outright genocide. | |

Secret Chaser | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_9218bf79 | comment |
Secret Chaser: Quinlan becomes one in Remembrance. He breaks into Obi-Wan and Ben's quarters in order to find out more about Ben's past, and finds Ben's old lightsaber. The one he used during the Clone Wars. The one everybody and their apprentice picked up at some point. Since Quinlan is a very gifted teenage psychometric, this ends very badly. Master Mierme Unill and Padawan Taria Damsin are introduced as these, having come from the Corellian Jedi Temple to investigate the cause of the Jedi Order's recent reforms. By the end of Deliverance, Shaak Ti convinces them to stop digging for information, partly by nudging them in the right direction, partly by warning them that if she notices, Ben will notice and given that Obi-Wan is involved, he will not be pleased — and more to the point, if they're not discreet enough for Ben, they're not discreet enough for those he is after. | |

Revenge | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_92f674e5 | comment |
Revenge: As the series goes on, it tragically becomes apparent that Ben is primarily driven by his desire for revenge against the Sith as well as anyone else he deems responsible for destroying his life. Ben humiliated and beat Pong Krell with the intention of making him Fall to the Dark Side, ruining the latter's life as payback for the way his future self treated the clone troopers Ben left under his command. During his fight with a younger Darth Maul, Ben uses his desire for revenge against canon!Maul to fuel his attacks and takes satisfaction from seeing him in pain. Sian sensed that all Ben wanted to do was hurt Maul and one of the first feelings Ben had when Sian interfered in their duel was bitter resentment at the idea of having his Vengeance Denied. Nowhere else is this more clear than during the climax of Coronation, when Ben finally fights Darth Sidious in a no holds barred duel. Throughout the fight, Ben savors the fear in Sidious's eyes as he slowly overpowers him and finishes his mental And This Is for... speech with "This is for me". He then derives pleasure from Force-choking the Sith while watching him writhe around on the floor in pain. When Obi-Wan pleads with Ben to spare Palpatine's life and take him into custody, Ben feels anger at being "pulled away from a vengeance that is rightfully his to take." | |

Faux Affably Evil: Darth Plagueis addresses Ben as "Master Jedi" and speaks with a polite tone while fondly recounting how he drove Palpatine to the Dark Side by financially ruining his family and forcing him to murder his wife. He keeps up this facade of politeness even as he explains to Ben how he intends to make him Fall by subjecting him to solitary confinement. It's mentioned in The Master's Project that even while he's psychologically torturing Ben, Plagueis still occasionally treats him to fine dining and plays Shah-tezh with him. | |

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_96fbeaf | comment |
There Are No Therapists: Averted. They exist but Ben never got around to seeing one during the Clone Wars since he was deemed "too critical to the war effort to keep off the front lines". When the Council learns of Ben's TSR, they immediately assign him a Soul Healer (the Jedi's equivalent of a therapist). When said Soul Healer finds out that reasoning, she's horrified. This gets lampshaded in Ripples. During Ben's therapy session with Ylar Klar, he recounts the events of The Phantom Menace, leading Klar to comment that both he and Anakin definitely should have gotten therapy after what they had gone through. | |

During Ben's challenge for custody of his padawan, he holds back just enough to give off the impression that he's only slightly better than his opponent. When Qui-Gon decides to challenge Ben, Obi-Wan is shocked when Ben doesn't hold back and curb-stomps Qui-Gon almost instantly. This is what makes Obi-Wan realize that something is troubling his master. | |

Rewatch Bonus | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_97926168 | comment |
Rewatch Bonus: Everything about the scene in Tarot where Komari offhandedly tells Sian about her friendly visits with Hego Damask and playing the game Shah-tezh with him takes a whole new meaning once it's revealed that she was actually allied with the Sith from the very beginning. Rather than Plagueis using their meetings to slowly nudge her into the Dark Side like Livion assumed, Komari was already a willing servant of the Sith. Her learning to play Shah-tezh from Plagueis actually foreshadows her true nature as a Sith acolyte since the game was also favored by Palpatine in the canon EU. | |

Crippling Overspecialization: Shaak Ti notes that Shmi's awareness of other beings through the Force and her knowledge of mechanics is on the level of a Master, but her fine control and awareness of how to use it to actually heal others or move other objects has basically atrophied by comparison, speculating that Shmi depended so much on the other aspects of the Force for most of her life that she's never explored other areas. | |

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: Despite their influence and central role in the story, the Sith themselves barely appear at all since the series takes place years before the Naboo crisis. Most of Ben's efforts are geared towards reforming the Jedi Order and depriving the Sith of their future pawns. Any time the Sith do choose to get involved, it's through proxies such as the Trade Federation, the Senate, and Temple's Bane, the sole exceptions being Palpatine sabotaging Obi-Wan's lightsaber and Maul being dispatched to assassinate Adonai Kryze, among others. Ben internally notes that this is largely because of the Sith's obsessive devotion to their own discretion — hence why Obi-Wan didn't just vanish one day when they had the option to try and Make It Look Like an Accident. | |

False Friend | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_9b7de69c | comment |
False Friend: Komari Vosa turns out to have been this to Dooku and the rest of the Jedi. She was never sincere in returning to the Light Side and only became Dooku's Padawan again because she wanted to string him along into believing that he could redeem her, just to make him suffer with the realization that he failed. She secretly relishes being the leader of the Bando Gora and her "rescue" by Dooku and Jango was unwanted, with Dooku being unable to tell how Fallen she truly was due to a combination of her being in a drugged state and Dooku letting his own guilt cloud his judgement. This is played with a little as Komari genuinely has grown fond of Sian and her fear of being rejected by Dooku a second time shows that a part of her still pines for his approval. | |

Took a Level in Badass: As a result of Ben's training, Obi-Wan goes from a mediocre padawan to a prodigy capable of defeating senior padawans in a duel. Shmi also takes a level in badass after being trained by Shaak Ti. Ben himself also grows significantly more powerful than canon!Obi-Wan over the course of the series. Aside from continuing to hone his skills in lightsaber combat, he also acquires new Force powers like emerald lightning and Nightsister magick. As of Coronation, Ben has become stronger than Palpatine and he describes overpowering the latter to be easier than he expected. | |

Foreshadowing | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Satine’s pregnancy was hinted at in Tarot when Jango mentions to Ben how Satine and Bo-Katan have been quietly arguing with each other and that they’ve been hiding something from him. In Chapter 2 of Minding the Gap, Fay explains how even being in the mere presence of a Sith is "emotionally and spiritually and psychologically" dangerous for a Jedi since the Darkness radiating off a Sith can easily leech through into a Jedi, twisting their emotions and severely impairing their judgment. In Chapter 16 of Coronation, we see this happen to Ben as he spends more time near Palpatine during Padmé's coronation. As all the stress and frustration from failing to find any evidence that Palpatine is a Sith piles up, a single whisper from the Dark Side is all it takes to push Ben past the Rage Breaking Point as he impulsively decides to do away with the subterfuge and directly confront Palpatine in the middle of a crowded ballroom. | |

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_9f970427 | comment |
Secret-Keeper: Initially, only the Jedi High Council knows the truth about Ben. However, over the course of the series, several individuals also discover that Ben is from the future. Following the events of the Remembrance trilogy, Quinlan Vos discovers Ben's true identity after using his Psychometry on Ben's old lightsaber, though it's unclear whether he remembers after his mind is cleansed in Night. After the Council discovers that Ben suffers from TSR (what they call PTSD in-universe) they assign a Soul Healer to him. The Healer, Ylar Kala, is told the truth about Ben in order to properly give him therapy. Master Fay finds out Ben's secret after sensing her future self's Force presence from Ben. Sian Jeisel is initially a Secret Secret-Keeper until Night. She figures out that Ben is from the future after seeing how Ben is familiar with Xanatos Du Crion despite the latter claiming to have never met Ben. She also figures out that Qui-Gon was originally Ben's master based on how well Ben knows him — and his palpable issues with him, combined with the occasional uncomfortable remark that Qui-Gon reminds him very much of his Master. As of Sa Sarad, Jango Fett is also added to the small list of people who know Ben's secret. Sha’me, Bo-Katan, and later Jango are amongst the few who know that Satine is pregnant. | |

More Deadly Than the Male: Out of all the warlords that Ben fights in Night, the lone female of the group ends up being the hardest to beat. Unlike the others, she doesn’t underestimate Ben and uses a mace rather than fight unarmed like Ben’s previous opponents, and while she's the smallest of the group, she's far better at actually using her mass to her advantage. Tellingly, she inflicts the most damage onto Ben out of all four warlords. | |

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_a3515d6 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Like Palpatine, Darth Plagueis is an elderly Sith Lord who disguises his true nature in public. Whereas Palpatine was a popular senator who used his good reputation to his advantage, Plagueis prefers to slink in the background while keeping a much lower profile. Outside his public persona, Palpatine was a cackling, incredibly hammy psychopath who took a perverse pleasure in inflicting pain and reveled in being Drunk on the Dark Side. In contrast, Plagueis is unemotional to the point where it's uncanny and almost always speaks with a veneer of politeness. While Palpatine (or at least his future self) orchestrated nearly every tragic event in Ben's backstory and is viewed by Ben as his arch-enemy, Plagueis is someone whom Ben shares no prior personal connection with and knows very little about. Furthermore, Palpatine barely acknowledged Ben's existence whereas Plagueis almost immediately became intrigued by Ben and attempted to coerce him into becoming his new apprentice. | |

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_a54c2273 | comment |
Dented Iron: Fighting in the Clone Wars has made Ben this. Aside from being Covered in Scars, his bones have numerous fracture lines, his DNA and RNA are severely damaged, his blood has trace amounts of toxic elements, and he has numerous synthetic organs, and he snarks "oh, good, there's enough of me left to identify after all" when a DNA test reveals that he's a 79% match for Obi-Wan. Healer Ni Hiella describes him as a "sock drawer in a trash compactor". He eventually has to have multiple organs grown and replaced, based on samples of Obi-Wan's DNA because Ben's is just too corrupted. Following Sidious' assassination attempt, Obi-Wan's wrist is severely damaged and he has to wear a brace for the remainder of the series and deals with recurring pains. Due to a combination of old age, being stranded on a primitive jungle planet with no access to modern medicine, and physical stress from constantly fighting pirates, Master Ky Narec is this when we finally meet him. When first introduced, he's doesn't have the same endurance or energy as his padawan Asajj. | |

Ascended Extra | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: A lot of minor characters from Legends and Canon are given expanded roles. Jax Pavan was a relatively obscure character from Legends. Here, he becomes Anakin's Best Friend and eventually his adopted brother. Adi Gallia becomes one of the Council's leading members and becomes the public face of the Jedi Order's efforts to undo the damage done by the Sith conspiracy. Sian Jeisel becomes Qui-Gon's padawan in Obi-Wan's place and eventually becomes a Secret-Keeper for Ben. Serra Keto, a boss from the Revenge of the Sith video game, is featured as a tertiary character in Ripples and Sa Sarad. Master Fay goes from being a One-Shot Character in the Legends continuity to a recurring character and is eventually promoted to being Ben's love interest. In both Canon and Legends, Darth Plagueis is Palpatine's former master who he killed and usurped in his backstory. Here, instead of simply being an unseen Predecessor Villain, Plagueis plays a more active role as the series' true Big Bad after Palpatine is killed by Ben. | |

Imagination-Based Superpower: Building "Force Structures" revolves around trusting and expecting the universe to be in the shape you want it to be.

During his fight with a younger Darth Maul, Ben uses his desire for revenge against canon!Maul to fuel his attacks and takes satisfaction from seeing him in pain.

Separated by a Common Language: The first time that Master Tholme rescued a young Aayla Secura from slavery and brought her to the Temple, Aayla was scared of Tholme because the people around her addressed Tholme as “Master�. To the Jedi, “Master� is the title used to indicate experience, wisdom, and seniority. To Aayla, the term “master� was associated with the cruel slavemasters she had been enslaved to. Anakin eventually helps clear up the misunderstanding by stomping on Tholme’s foot and getting no reaction beyond puzzled surprise, showing that he wasn’t like Aayla’s previous owner. | |

Adaptational Jerkass: In this storyline, Dooku disowned Komari Vosa and expelled her from the Order after she called him out for his actions on Galidraan. This is in contrast to the Legends continuity, where he disowned her when he realized she had an inappropriate attraction to him (inappropriate both because he was her Master and old enough to be her grandfather) and was trying to find her a new Master when she left the Order of her own volition. | |

Odd Friendship: In the original timeline, Ben (then General Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Jai Sheelal (then General Grievous) were arch-enemies, and Ben — who ultimately killed Grievous — is still haunted by nightmares of him. Here, Lij Kummar is Spared by the Adaptation, and Ben's efforts to prevent the tragedies that turned Jai Sheelal into Grievous have the entirely perverse result of young Obi-Wan becoming a Kalee national hero, and having multiple children (including one of Jai Sheelal's) named after him. Ben finds this both oddly amusing and deeply bemusing at the same time. Serra Keto (a Jedi Padawan) forms one with Mavi Var'de (a Force-sensitive Mandalorian girl) in Sa Sarad. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Ben explains to Shmi that this isn't necessarily the case for Jedi, regarding the rules of attachment, but it is a risk — not because love is corrupting, but because of what people might do for love, or out of desperation. Who wouldn't kill for those they love, steal to feed them, etcetera? And considering how powerful the Jedi are capable of being, and how much power the Dark Side offers in that regard, it's very easy to go from 'best intentions' to 'fully fledged monster' very quickly. Shmi admits that he has a point, remarking that the Jedi fear what they could be, and notes that if Ben had only been able to free one of them, she'd have let him take Anakin for that reason. | |

The fanfic also deconstructs Obi-Wan's Fatal Flaw as a Principles Zealot. Similar to the previous example, Obi-Wan's strict adherence toward the Jedi Code came as the result of being a Yes-Man driven by a fear of rejection. He actually can see the bigger picture and is well aware that the Jedi's teachings can sometimes be wrong. However, he still supported all of the Council's decisions, even when he knew they were wrong. | |

Chekhov's Skill: During Ben's spar with Plo Koon in What is Sown, Plo Koon demonstrates the ability to generate Emerald lightning. In Remembrance, Plo Koon explains to Ben the basics behind the technique. This ability proves to be extremely useful in Lineage, when Ben generates a storm of Emerald lightning in order to save his Padawan from being executed by the Death Watch. In Night, Obi-Wan's sand exercise comes in very handy when he and Ben are about to be fired upon in a gladiatorial arena. He and Ben use the Force to create a massive sandstorm that not only absorbs all the blaster bolts but completely demolishes the arena itself in the process. | |

Both Master Narec and Asajj refuse to follow Ben until he helps liberate the people of Rattatak from the warlords’ tyrannical reign. Sa Sarad features a Big Bad Ensemble between three arc villains. Tor Vizsla, the leader of Death Watch, is waging war against Jango Fett and House Kryze. Xanatos Du Crion is plotting against the Jedi Order using the data given to him by Bruck, and the Yinchorri are staging an uprising that the Jedi are sent to quash. | |

A True Story in My Universe | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_ae475b01 | comment |
A True Story in My Universe: In Sa Sarad, Sian begins to write a holonovel based off Ben's life with his nature as a time traveler even being a major plot point. Upon reading her draft, Bultar (believing the bit about time travel to be something Sian made up) questions whether it's appropriate to publish the novel given the "creative liberties" Sian took with a Jedi Master's personal life. After her first novel becomes an instant bestseller, Sian goes on to author an entire holonovella series which retells Ben and Obi-Wan's various adventures. Obi-Wan is especially mortified to discover that Sian had Padmé draw dramatic artwork for the books, artwork that depicts a red-haired teenage Jedi that is clearly himself with only the barest of cosmetic changes. It seems that the books are especially popular amongst teenage girls, hence why the cover art for the second holonovel features Obi-Wan shirtless. The next time Obi-Wan visits Satine, he's embarrassed to see a poster for Sian's novels hung up in her room. By Coronation, Sian's novels have become so popular that even Adi Gallia is shown listening to an audiobook adaptation in her spare time. | |

Of course, Obi-Wan has repeatedly resisted being appointed to the Council, and this new position, created just for Obi-Wan, entails researching and devising new rules for the Order regarding marriage. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: Early in the series, Quinlan finds himself intrigued by Obi-Wan's enigmatic new master and becomes determined to learn more about Ben's past. He gets his wish granted in the worst possible way at the end of Remembrance, where he uses his psychometry on Ben's first lightsaber and absorbs all of Ben's most traumatic memories, causing him to fall to the Dark Side. Thanks to Ben and Obi-Wan's (in)famous exploits, Padawan Serra Keto becomes a huge fan of Mandalorian culture and badgers Ben to show her what it's like to be a Mandalorian warrior. At the beginning of Sa Sarad, her wish gets granted when she finds herself on the run with Ben, Obi-Wan, and Satine after witnessing Duke Kryze's assassination. | |

Selective Obliviousness: The Jedi Council is this in regards to the Sith. Ben notes that the problem is that they don't want the Sith to return and for many, it would be much simpler to pretend that the Sith were still gone. Over time, they come to accept it, and mostly just hold out for proof to definitively convince the rest of the Order. | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_b1346878 | comment |
In Mirage, Lady Livion criticizes Obi-Wan for feeling guilty about accidentally removing Qui-Gon's Force sensitivity, rather than just being grateful that he was able to prevent Qui-Gon from dying. Obi-Wan counters by pointing out that some would consider being Force blind to be a Fate Worse than Death. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: This gets taken advantage of three times during Ben's open challenge for temporary custody of Obi-Wan. It was never stated that the fights had to be one-on-one. One bout has five knights unsuccessfully attempt to gang up on Ben, who finds it almost adorable — as in, he takes one out almost immediately with his sabre, then beats the crap out of the rest with his bare hands. Since there was no rule saying that you had to fight with lightsabers, Ni Hiella defeats Ben by knocking him out with a sedative. Lastly, there was no written rule that the challenger needed to be a Jedi. Jango Fett becomes Obi-Wan's mentor after beating Ben in a street brawl. Sian is surprised to see Quinlan at her door, but Obi-Wan assures her that he had permission to escort Quinlan back to his quarters. | |

Reflexive Response: In The Desert Storm, Ben instinctively shoves Obi-Wan behind him and takes out his lightsaber when Master Tahl calls out his name while his back was turned. Ben is mortified when he realizes that he nearly cut down Tahl for no reason other than surprising him. During his time on Tatooine, Ben taught himself to redirect the lightning from the planet's electrical storms. When Plo Koon shoots Emerald Lightning at Ben during their sparring match, he instinctively absorbs the attack, only to then remember that he's inside a crowded arena and has nowhere to safely release the Force lightning to. | |

Future Me Scares Me: Played With. Obi-Wan doesn’t know that Ben is his future self, but the Council does and they are uncomfortable with just how different Ben is from his past self. Later, Obi-Wan emphasizes that while he deeply respects his Master and loves him dearly, he does not want to turn out like him. Ben, for his part, is perfectly fine with this, as he absolutely does not want Obi-Wan turning out like him, and is both upset and embarrassed that he hadn't made this clear before. | |

Used to Be a Sweet Kid | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_be0ad6b7 | comment |
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: In-Universe example with the attitude of the Jedi Council, and most others who know, about Ben's true origins. After all, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a hard-working young Initiate/Padawan, with a kind heart that he wears on his sleeve, no pretensions or secrets to him, and the potential to be an exemplary Jedi. Ben Naasade is very secretive, both passively and actively manipulative, a terrifyingly driven master warrior who's unnaturally at home on the battlefield, suffering from horrifying PTSD on his good days and is probably best described by Windu's internal monologue as "a half-mad time-travelling hermit", with an attitude to morality that can kindly be described as 'pragmatic', an eerie understanding of the Force, far too great a knowledge about everyone from Initiates to Masters for anyone's comfort, and a deeply unnerving streak of cold-blooded ruthlessness. As one of them says plainly, "I never imagined we could lose Obi-Wan Kenobi so badly." Sian Jeisel, a friend of Obi-Wan's who figures it out through their mutual connection to Qui-Gon Jinn, observes that there's barely fragments of the boy she knows in Ben. Another In-Universe example when Ben meets a younger Asajj Ventress. He finds it heartbreaking to see that the Sith assassin he fought during the Clone Wars used to be a happy girl with a loving father. | |

Irony: Due to Obi-Wan's role in ending the Huk War, Jai Sheelal develops a deep respect for him to the point where he names his children after Obi-Wan, and the two form a very Odd Friendship. This is extremely ironic considering that Sheelal is the past version of General Grievous, one of Obi-Wan's most dangerous enemies and who Ben still has nightmares of. Ben is both amused and bemused by this. | |

Seers: Qymaen Jai Sheelal (Grievous, in the original timeline) reveals in his POV section that he's got a dash of ability as a seer—a possible allusion to how the blood of Sifo-Dyas, a Jedi Seer, was used to revive him in canon—which helped him find his wife. It also gives him the enigmatic message of, "this man is my death, this man is my life", regarding Ben. Considering that Ben killed him in the original timeline, and arranged matters so that he would never become Grievous in this timeline, it seems pretty bang on. | |

The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: After Quinlan is put into a coma from the injuries he sustained while fending off a Bando Gora assassin, Aayla sneaks into his hospital room in the middle of the night after sensing that he was in danger. Upon entering the room, she's relieved to find Siri standing over Quinlan's body and calls out to her... only to then realize that the woman isn't Siri, but Komari, who was trying to assassinate Quinlan in his sleep. | |

Internal Reveal | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_c5ccf60f | comment |
Internal Reveal: During the two year time skip between Coronation and Haunting, the Jedi Council finally made it public that the Sith were alive and likely behind Ben's disappearance. This gets a mixed response from the rest of the Order. Half of them cautiously accept the claims but remain skeptical since they had grown up being taught that the Sith were extinct. The other half (mostly those who've always distrusted or disliked Ben) sided with the Senate and assume that the Council is merely trying to cover up the fact that Ben murdered an innocent senator, fell to the Dark Side, and went on the run to avoid facing justice. Chapter 18 has Quinlan discover Komari Vosa was the leader of the Bando Gora after using his psychometry on one of their assassins sent by Komari to kill him. Chapter 21 sees Aayla, Che, and Bant also make the same discovery when Komari tries to kill Quinlan while he's hospitalized and reveals her Sith-yellow eyes. | |

Rage Breaking Point | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_c819533b | comment |
In Chapter 2 of Minding the Gap, Fay explains how even being in the mere presence of a Sith is "emotionally and spiritually and psychologically" dangerous for a Jedi since the Darkness radiating off a Sith can easily leech through into a Jedi, twisting their emotions and severely impairing their judgment. In Chapter 16 of Coronation, we see this happen to Ben as he spends more time near Palpatine during Padmé's coronation. As all the stress and frustration from failing to find any evidence that Palpatine is a Sith piles up, a single whisper from the Dark Side is all it takes to push Ben past the Rage Breaking Point as he impulsively decides to do away with the subterfuge and directly confront Palpatine in the middle of a crowded ballroom. | |

It Can Think | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_c95d04f2 | comment |
The Sleeper is a tentacled monster living in the Water of Life, which is the source of Dathomir's power. It's fully sentient, impossibly ancient, manifests as a giant horned Nightsister covered in flames, can enter a person's mind, has knowledge of the future, and is strong enough to sever the Force bond between Ben and Obi-Wan. The Sleeper also possesses Resurrective Immortality, having already been killed many times by Nightsisters as a Rite of Passage, and feeds off of Dathomir's Life Energy to survive. In addition, the Sleeper is familiar with other powerful Force entities, including the one responsible for Ben's time travel. | |

Crippling the Competition | |

Crippling the Competition: Ben notes that Sidious basically did this in his time as every apprentice he ever taught was limited in some way, ranging from Maul just being an assassin ignorant of the more subtle abilities of the Sith to Vader's artificial limbs crippling his own Force potential. Ben basically observes that Sidious demonstrated only lip service towards the Rule of Two, ensuring that he would remain in power rather than raise an apprentice who would surpass him. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: During the time he spent as a prisoner of the Death Watch, Ben hallucinates a conversation with Anakin Skywalker in his canon appearance. However, "Anakin" in this scene has mismatched eyes (one's a Sith yellow, while the other is his normal eye color) indicating that he's the same being that Obi-Wan encountered as a Force illusion on Dathomir. This raises the question of whether Ben was just going crazy from solitary confinement or if he had been visited by some sort of Force entity — given how Ben got his extraordinary understanding of the Force, the two are not mutually exclusive. | |

We ARE Struggling Together | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_cbdd9a55 | comment |
We ARE Struggling Together: This is the problem that Jango and Ben are having to deal with in Sa Sarad. When Ben takes part in Jango Fett's war against the Death Watch, he is made a general and is placed in charge of overseeing the training for Jango's warriors. Due to Ben's Jedi past, almost none of Jango's warriors respect him and Ben even muses that many of them are probably thinking of ways to kill him in an "accident". It's just as worse amongst the Mandalorians themselves, as Jango's army is a mixing pot consisting of warriors from dozens of different clans, many of whom have long-running feuds with each other. Mercifully, it gets better over time, as Ben proves he's as Mandalorian as anyone else, he's Crazy and Awesome — with emphasis on the 'crazy', even by Mandalorian standards — and that he's genuinely a very good commander. | |

Non-Action Guy: Despite having some training in martial arts, Vas Yurik insists that he is no combatant and his true passion instead lies in acting. Since Echani culture values combat to the point where it's said to be their primary form of communication, this earned him much disdain on his homeworld and made him the target of bullying from his family members. | |

Outside-Context Problem: Ben Naasade gradually becomes one for the Sith. The Sith are completely blindsided by the arrival of a time traveller who has full knowledge of their plans. Furthering Ben's nature as an OCP is the fact that the Sith are only barely aware that he even exists since other Jedi are always given credit for his accomplishments — something he's very careful to ensure. | |

Misery Builds Character: Mandalore has a philosophy that can be summed up with this line: "As flowers are grown by rain, so is the soul grown by war." While Mace disagrees with this way of thinking, Ben counters that some things can only truly be understood by experiencing it yourself, and remarks that Mandalore's philosophy is less about death, more an embrace of life, which Mace at least understands (especially in the context of Ben himself). This also serves as the Tag Line for Sa Sarad. | |

Wax On, Wax Off: As part of his training under Ben, Obi-Wan has to use the Force to lift individual grains of sand while keeping track of each grain. This enables Obi-Wan to later lift numerous boulders with the Force by simply imagining them as grains of sand. Later on, in Mirage, it helps him to gain a whole new understanding of the Force, based on the true meaning of the phrase, "I am one with the Force, the Force is with me". | |

Cassandra Truth | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: Even when presented with proof that Ben is an older Obi-Wan from the future, the Jedi Council is still unwilling to believe his claim that the Sith have returned. After his initial fury, Ben grudgingly admits to himself that he can understand their skepticism, and eventually they shift positions from "this isn't happening" to "we need to find proof." Obi-Wan has difficulty convincing people that the rumors about Ben's abusive nature aren't true. Most of Ben's accusers believe that Obi-Wan's trying to cover for his master due to his previous insecurities. Eventually, they come round, partly thanks to Obi-Wan demonstrating just how competent Ben's Training from Hell has made him, and other students taking part in a training session or two and reluctantly admitting that Ben is a hard taskmaster, but a great teacher. | |

Anti-Villain: Ben is technically a Sith Apprentice, and business-like enough in that capacity, providing chillingly accurate and clinical comment about the Sith grand plan. However, the really chilling part is how much he hasn't changed - he plainly hates it and is looking for a way out, whether via a conventional escape or a casket, to the point where he muses that Plagueis immediately moves Komari on when it becomes clear that she's jealous. Plagueis has enough trouble preventing Ben from killing himself without having to worry about assassination attempts too. | |

Bruck Chun falls under the influence of Xanatos Du Crion and becomes his apprentice, resulting in the Jedi Temple being bombed. Duke Adonai Kryze is still assassinated, forcing Obi-Wan and his master to take Satine into hiding. This time, he's killed by the Sith during his speech at a political conference. Unlike Legends, Satine is there to witness Adonai's death, and he dies as she holds him in her arms. Obi-Wan becomes Satine’s protector while she’s in hiding during the Great Clan Wars and falls in love with her. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Master Tahl confronts Ben for the harsh training that Obi-Wan is put through. At the beginning of Ruin, both Adi Gallia and Tahl criticize Ben for bringing Obi-Wan on a mission to a planet in the middle of a violent genocide. In True Colors, Jango Fett calls out Ben for bringing a thirteen-year-old Obi-Wan with him on a dangerous mission against spice smugglers (the Super-Commando Code bans combat for anyone under 14). Ben retorts that it wasn't supposed to be dangerous, and as soon as it became dangerous, he sent Obi-Wan to hide in the vents. Obi-Wan was just (un)lucky enough to fall out of the vents head-first into an epic amount of spice, right in front of Fett. In Mirage, Lady Livion criticizes Obi-Wan for feeling guilty about accidentally removing Qui-Gon's Force sensitivity, rather than just being grateful that he was able to prevent Qui-Gon from dying. Obi-Wan counters by pointing out that some would consider being Force blind to be a Fate Worse than Death. | |

Absence of Evidence: Basically what Ben relies on when he accuses Palpatine of crimes in public; while he knows that Palpatine has taken care to hide his role in any potential criminal activities, Ben chooses crimes, such as Maul's murders, where Palpatine can't definitively prove that he wasn't involved, so the suspicion alone will be a problem for him. | |

Action Hero | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_dae62ef5 | comment |
Obi-Wan Kenobi's Action Hero status during the Clone Wars gets deconstructed when Healer Hiella's examination shows the extent of the damage that Ben's past adventures have left on his body. Aside from being Covered in Scars from the countless scrapes he's been in, Ben's entire skeletal system is riddled with fracture lines due to breaking his bones so often. It turns out that being regularly involved in life-or-death situations isn't good for one's physical health. | |

Contrived Coincidence: In True Colors. During an investigation of missing medical supplies, Ben and Obi-Wan end up on a frigate run by spice smugglers. One of the ship's slave workers is none other than Jango Fett, who Ben frees. After they seize control of the spice frigate, it comes under attack from pirates who just happen to be led by a younger Hondo Ohnaka. Ben even lampshades how the Force loves its ironies. | |

Always with You: Happens twice to Ben in Chapter 58 of Sa Sarad. The first example is when Ben hallucinates a conversation with Commander Cody in his cell. "Cody" assures Ben that he and his troops will always be with him. It then becomes a tearjerker as Ben remembers that Cody no longer exists and the conversation ends with Ben sadly responding "you aren't here either". This is then followed by a hallucination of a Clone Wars-era Anakin Skywalker, who comforts Ben and says this before disappearing: | |

Affectionate Nickname: After adopting Bo-Katan, Jango starts calling her by the nickname Tukran’ika (Mandalorian for "Little Hellcat") in part because of how difficult she is to work with. Bo-Katan is initially uncertain whether he means it as an affectionate nickname or as an insult (though knowing Jango, it's likely both). Ky Narec addresses his Padawan Asajj with the moniker "Little One". It’s also an indirect way for him to refer to her as his daughter. | |

Didn't See That Coming | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_dfa40c1b | comment |
Didn't See That Coming: When Ben killed Palpatine in Coronation, he was acting under the assumption that Palpatine was the Sith Master and that the Sith's Grand Plan would die with him. He is totally blindsided by the discovery that Palpatine was still the apprentice while Darth Plagueis was the real master. The fact that Ben never once considered this is a little surprising given that this was the very reason he originally didn't try to take down Palpatine at the start of the series. Though given his encounter with Maul in Tarot, it's likely that he assumed Palpatine had already usurped his master by then and was training Maul to be his successor. | |

Alone with the Psycho | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_dfe687c9 | comment |
Alone with the Psycho: The first half of Chapter 21 sees Aayla in this situation with Komari Vosa after catching the latter trying to kill a comatose Quinlan. Aayla is a fourteen-year-old Padawan facing off against an adult darksider that outclasses her completely. She's alone and no one else knows where she is since she snuck out of her quarters in the middle of the night. Komari is also holding her lightsaber directly over Quinlan's body, the unspoken threat being that she will kill him if Aayla tries to fight or scream for help. Aayla is told that if she hands over her lightsaber and allows herself to be "put to sleep", then no one will be harmed. Aayla pretends to comply with Komari's demands and tricks her into leaving Quinlan's side. Once Quinlan is no longer in range of Komari's lightsaber, Aayla proceeds to grab Quinlan's lightsaber and immediately attacks Komari while screaming into the Force, alerting Bant and Che to what's happening. | |

History Repeats | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_e003c829 | comment |
History Repeats: In Tarot, Ben once again finds himself duelling a younger Darth Maul alongside Qui-Gon and being forced to watch as Maul impales Qui-Gon with his lightsaber. Fortunately, Obi-Wan saves Qui-Gon's life using the magick he learned from the Nightsisters. Unfortunately, Maul still escapes because of Sian's Unwanted Assistance (also partly because Ben's a little too interested in making him suffer) — though since he ends up on Dathomir, largely dismembered, that's not much of an escape. After several books of hinting, it's eventually revealed in Passage that Ben's scars and unresolved issues with Qui-Gon (in his timeline) are paralleled by Qui-Gon's own issues resulting from his time with his Master, Dooku. While they're noted to have some friction, it's laid bare when Qui-Gon finally reveals why he's so reluctant to push the envelope after the loss of his ability to sense the Force, and, indeed, in general. It is not, as even Ben assumed, a fear of failure. It's not the effort, but the vulnerability — a fear of "disappointment and shame." For someone raised by a taskmaster as rigidly dignified and demanding as Dooku, it is both understandable and heartbreaking, explaining so many of this Qui-Gon's issues with Sian, and the original Qui-Gon's issues with Ben/Ben's issues with Qui-Gon. | |

Decon-Recon Switch | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_e0113647 | comment |
Decon-Recon Switch: The fic starts out by deconstructing Training from Hell by showing how the grueling training that Ben puts his Padawan through on a daily basis regularly leaves him bruised and exhausted to the point where he can barely walk. This is quickly noticed by Obi-Wan's friends, who start to worry about him and pass on their concerns to their masters. This leads to Ben getting a bad rep as a mentor with many Jedi viewing his training to be a form a child abuse and some even going as far as to demand that Obi-Wan be removed from Ben's tutelage entirely. This then gets reconstructed as people realize that Ben is pushing Obi-Wan as far as he can go and no further, that the training is actually working spectacularly well, and that there's a reason he's pushing Obi-Wan. | |

Thousand-Yard Stare | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_e11e88b6 | comment |
Palpatine/Darth Sidious is this for Ben. Ben knows that he stands no chance of beating Sidious in a straight-up fight and he admits to his holocron that he’s terrified of him. When Ben visits Bail and Breha, he comes close to telling them that Palpatine was responsible for trying to assassinate Obi-Wan but stops at the last second out of fear that Palpatine will find out somehow and target them as well. When he tries to discuss the subject of Sidious to his holocron, he enters a Thousand-Yard Stare and sits in silence for four hours. When he finally confronts Sidious at the end of Coronation, he finds to his surprise and vicious glee that since Sidious has not had three years of the galactic-scale horror of the Clone Wars to feed off, he's not by any means the powerhouse that he was in Ben's time. He's a frighteningly powerful Sith Lord, a true monster... but he isn't anything more than that. As a result, Ben beats him and kills him. | |

Deconstruction Fic | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_e6b8db89 | comment |
Deconstruction Fic: The series deconstructs many aspects of the Clone Wars by expanding upon the Fridge Horror moments and depicts it as if it actually happened in Real Life, rather than in a cartoon for kids. Obi-Wan Kenobi's Action Hero status during the Clone Wars gets deconstructed when Healer Hiella's examination shows the extent of the damage that Ben's past adventures have left on his body. Aside from being Covered in Scars from the countless scrapes he's been in, Ben's entire skeletal system is riddled with fracture lines due to breaking his bones so often. It turns out that being regularly involved in life-or-death situations isn't good for one's physical health. In Sa Sarad, Ben finally acknowledges the clone troopers for what they truly were: child slave soldiers. The average clone trooper was six years old chronologically and they were forced to fight with little choice in the matter. Why did the Jedi accept command of the clone army? To protect the clones, who had no rights in a government that saw them as subhuman Cannon Fodder. Jedi are not meant to be soldiers. At the start of the Clone Wars, most Jedi had never seen sustained combat on a galactic scale before. They were given no time to prepare and knew nothing about running a military. The first few battles went exactly as you'd expect, with the clones getting massacred in droves due to the Jedi's inexperienced leadership. It was actually the clone commanders who were responsible for the Republic's victories, yet they never received any credit due to the Senate's Fantastic Racism. Even when the Jedi eventually did get their act together, all the strategies and tactics they used were taught to them by the clones. The Jedi padawans were little more than glorified Child Soldiers who were tossed into the middle of the battlefield and saw the horrors of war firsthand. This was especially horrific considering that the reason many parents give up their children is because of the Jedi's promise to keep them safe. The fic really goes out of its way to show the impact the Clone Wars had on Obi-Wan. Ben Naasade's character shows more or less how Obi-Wan would have actually turned out following the events of Episode III. Rather than a Cool Old Master, you end up with someone who appears to be that (albeit in his mid-thirties to begin with), but who also happens to be a Shell-Shocked Veteran with deep-seated psychological scars underneath the thin facade. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: Harshly defied in Remembrance. After Quinlan falls to the Dark Side, he notes how in the past, the Jedi would treat fallen Padawans by taking away their memories of the Fall. Ben, remembering how erasing Anakin's memories of Mortis turned out, takes Quinlan's side and refuses to allow the Council to make him forget. Defied in Night. After Sian lets it slip that she knows Ben's true identity, he briefly panics before taking her straight to Master Yaddle. Sian asks if they are going to erase her memories, only for Ben to dismiss that idea since she had deduced the truth by herself and would likely figure it out again if her memories were wiped. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: During Ben's challenge for custody of his padawan, he holds back just enough to give off the impression that he's only slightly better than his opponent. When Qui-Gon decides to challenge Ben, Obi-Wan is shocked when Ben doesn't hold back and curb-stomps Qui-Gon almost instantly. This is what makes Obi-Wan realize that something is troubling his master. Upon being introduced to Ben, Mother Talzin can sense that something is off about him. This is serious enough for her to immediately lose her composure and go from being dismissive towards Ben to nearly hostile. When the Yinchorri are about to bomb the Jedi Temple, the normally Elective Mute Jax runs towards Shmi in terror and screams "Mom!". | |

Deconstructed Character Archetype: Obi-Wan Kenobi's characterization as the Ideal Hero gets deconstructed. In both Canon and Legends, Obi-Wan was constantly held up by the Jedi as an embodiment of everything a Jedi should strive to be. Here, we learn that Obi-Wan's status as "the perfect Jedi" is a facade he constructed because he Desperately Craves Affection. Qui-Gon's initial rejection of Obi-Wan caused the latter to develop deep insecurities that turned him into a "Well Done, Son" Guy towards the Jedi Council. His characterization of an Ideal Hero was just his desire for approval getting cranked up to eleven. This was also the source of Anakin's resentment towards Obi-Wan, as he became envious that Obi-Wan was constantly being heaped praise upon by the Council, while he was being alienated by them. The fanfic also deconstructs Obi-Wan's Fatal Flaw as a Principles Zealot. Similar to the previous example, Obi-Wan's strict adherence toward the Jedi Code came as the result of being a Yes-Man driven by a fear of rejection. He actually can see the bigger picture and is well aware that the Jedi's teachings can sometimes be wrong. However, he still supported all of the Council's decisions, even when he knew they were wrong. The New Mandalorians deconstruct Actual Pacifists. Given that the Mandalorians are by and large a Proud Warrior Race in the middle of a Civil War, the New Mandalorians' refusal to contribute to the war effort makes them The Load for their allies. Also, because they see any act of violence as evil, they oppose their own allies just as much as their enemies, further weakening Mandalore's already unstable government. Finally, it’s pointed out that while pacifism is a noble principle, it only works if the other side is honorable enough to not strike down an unarmed opponent. Seeing as how the "other side" is the Death Watch, the New Mandalorians’ ideals end up coming across as both ignorant and naïve. | |

Evil-Detecting Baby: Downplayed with Jax, who's four years old. He's able to tell that Pong Krell is corrupted by the Dark Side and is only pretending to get better. Due to his age, no one really takes his concern seriously except for Anakin, until both insist — when they do, the Jedi explain that they have actually picked up on it and are keeping a close eye on it. | |

Locked Out of the Loop: Shaak Ti is the only Jedi Councilor to not know about Ben's nature as a time traveller, due to not being present when he told the Council. Yaddle decides to keep her out of the loop in order to get an outsider's perspective. Ben is prone to keeping important or relevant information a secret from the Jedi Council, much to the Council's frustration — especially when he uses it to manipulate them. | |

Ain't No Rule: Under the Skywalker Initiative, Masters can take more than one Padawan at a time, in order to get more Jedi into the Order. And then Plo Koon takes five Dathomiri Nightbrothers as padawans at the same time. The only reason he didn't get six is that the sixth Nightbrother was snatched up by one of the temple's healers. For reference, the expected way that the "More than one Padawan" thing was supposed to work was "Get a new Padawan when your current one is older and needs your help less." | |

Platonic Declaration of Love: In Night, Obi-Wan makes one to Ben out of gratitude for everything Ben has done for him. Given that Ben is a future version of Obi-Wan, he's both touched and amused by Obi-Wan's confession. During the Sa Sarad arc, Ben acknowledges that he loved Cody and the rest of the clone troopers after being prodded by Jango. | |

You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You: Since the Jedi Council dismissed Ben's warnings about the Sith, he believes that they would do the same to anything else he might say.

When Yurik inherits an antique from one of the Echani women he used to act as arm candy for, it becomes a scandal on Eshan and leads to him becoming the target of a dozen bounties. | |

Love Makes You Evil | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_f788b2c5 | comment |
Love Makes You Evil: Ben explains to Shmi that this isn't necessarily the case for Jedi, regarding the rules of attachment, but it is a risk — not because love is corrupting, but because of what people might do for love, or out of desperation. Who wouldn't kill for those they love, steal to feed them, etcetera? And considering how powerful the Jedi are capable of being, and how much power the Dark Side offers in that regard, it's very easy to go from 'best intentions' to 'fully fledged monster' very quickly. Shmi admits that he has a point, remarking that the Jedi fear what they could be, and notes that if Ben had only been able to free one of them, she'd have let him take Anakin for that reason. Lady Livion was originally a Jedi Knight who was part of a Battle Couple alongside her wife Palma. Palma’s death left Livion grief-stricken and drove her to the Dark Side. | |

Cool Big Sis | |
The Desert Storm (Fanfic) / int_f8600b | comment |
In Legends, Komari Vosa falls to the Dark Side and becomes the leader of the Bando Gora following her banishment from the Temple. Thanks to Ben and Obi-Wan convincing Dooku to take her back as his Padawan, Komari doesn't Fall and ends up becoming a Cool Big Sis for Sian. Chapter 9 of Mirage subverts this, as Lady Livion's POV shows that Komari is being drawn into the Dark Side by Darth Plagueis with the Jedi around her being none the wiser. | |

Attack Hello: When Obi-Wan returns to Mandalore in Minding the Gap, he is welcomed by Bo-Katan who greets him with a forearm clasp before abruptly stepping back and decking him across the face so hard that she breaks his nose. When Obi-Wan asks her why she punched him, her only response is that he'll "figure it out". The reason she punched him was because he unknowingly impregnated her sister Satine during the Sa Sarad arc. | |

Alternate Universe Fic: Aside from changes caused by time travel, there are several alterations from both Canon and Legends. In Ben's original timeline, Ventress never died and was still active as a bounty hunter after the Clone Wars had ended. Ronderu lij Kummar wasn't killed on Kalee during the Huk War like her Legends counterpart and instead survived long enough to accompany Jai Sheelal to Torvaskl. In Legends, Obi-Wan was Childhood Friends with Taria and they grew up together during their early years in the Jedi Temple. Here, Taria was raised in the Corellian Jedi Temple and she meets Obi-Wan for the first time as teenagers in Deliverance. In Ben's timeline, the Great Clan Wars of Mandalore were started by the assassination of Adonai Kryze, as opposed to Kryze's death happening during the wars like in Legends. | |

Innocently Insensitive: After Ben issues his open challenge for custody of Obi-Wan, Yoda asks Ben if he believes he could beat him. Ben’s casual assurance that Yoda could “win the moment [he] wanted to� actually saddens Yoda since he had been waiting to pass away from old age (as he's already well beyond his people's standard lifespan) and didn’t know that he still had a few decades left to live. Ben quickly realizes his mistake and apologizes, telling Yoda that he's got time left. In Remembrance: Part II, Mace’s attempt to protect Obi-Wan from scrutiny by pressuring him into answering the Council’s questions about Ben comes across as this to Obi-Wan since it shows that the Council has already decided that Ben is dangerous and believes that Obi-Wan needs to be protected from him. | |
