zombeesknees:shorelle:star wars pirate AU a.k.a. “pirates of the kessel run: curse of the millenium pearl”so I was listening to Davy Jones’ theme for hours, and went “hey this reminds me of a sad, nautical mash-up of Across the Stars and the Imperial March”… then “hey, Anakin/Vader is basically Davy Jones, Captain of the Flying Dutchman Executor” and then this AU spawned in my brain. and He’s A Pirate = the Force theme and Two Hornpipes (Tortuga) = the Star Wars Cantina?? the parallels are based more on personalities/roles, ignore family relations :Palso I just wanted to try completely reversing the environment of the Anakin vs Obi-Wan final duel… (not that typhoons and giant space kraken are much of an improvement, ahaha)#look at thing! #thing so good! #i’m kind of in love with the parallels between leia and elizabeth #who were both highborn into privilege and tore themselves open and radicalized and rejected all that privilege #in favour of open rebellion in their own ways; becoming fugitives and exiles and fighters (and finally rulers) #which is what we’ve always loved about space stories; they have that same unbound nature as seafaring tales of ol #old #that idea of a world where rebels have the whole wide universe/ocean to run away into and become what they must/want to become -- source link
