The Umbara episode of @letitrainathousandflames’ “it’s all a TV show” Clone Wars AU got me thinking about Actual Nice Guy Krell, who just plays a villain on TV but in reality is a very supportive and gentle man (because I love it when actors who play villains turn out to be really sweet people). To do the kind of intense acting that happened in Umbara, you have to have so much trust in your fellow actors, you have to feel safe with them. So here’s Rex and Krell and Dogma, still in costume and goofing off between takes while the crew resets. (Bonus really shitty star warsy filmmaking equipment and Umbara props in the background.)
Also bonus “why do I always draw so small” size reference, mostly to berate myself for murdering my eyes.
Thank you all for the ideas! (Except the mouse droid okay that was totally me, I demand credit for that one.) There are lots of good ones I didn’t get to, but I ran out of drawing steam. I’m still addicted to tiny clones though, so I’ll keep them safe for next time -u-
MORE ITTY BITTY CLONES o/ This time with something resembling chronology. Don’t expect that to last, though; I’m having too much fun doing random vignettes and mix’n’matching who’s little or not.
MORE TINY CLONES. Now with 50% more disregard for consistency vis a vis who’s little and who’s not, and also for when this takes place. I like having them in tiny armor (hopefully on the right people this time…) but there’s also something to be said for the hilarity of them poofing down and leaving their clothes behind, hence the last one.
Shutout to blackhunter666 for reminding me that the shrinking trope exists and is amazing 😀
Fives: okay we’ll scan the room. Dogma, you sit by the counter and look innocent.
Dogma: what?! Why can’t I join the investigation?!
Fives: because your our vod’ika and shit may get dangerous. Sit there and wait for us.
Echo: we’ll be back soon, don’t worry.
-20 minutes and a loud, messy bar brawl later, Fives and Echo get to the counter sporting a cut on the forehead and lip and a number of bruises-
Fives: well… took us a while but they spat the info. We have a lead to where we can find grievous.
Dogma, sipping a drink with a lemon slice and a tiny umbrella with a straw and handing a card to Echo: no need, I found his hideout
Fives, grabbing Echo’s hand to look at the card: you WHAT?!
Dogma, finishing his drink and fidgeting with the tiny umbrella: uh, while you two were throwing punches and screaming, a woman called me handsome and paid me a drink and while we were mindlessly chatting she let slip that she’s doing some bodyguard job to a four-armed coughing robot man and I really doubt there are two of those.
Echo: hm. Nice.
Fives: *scoffing in jealousy* the most unbelievable part of all of this is someone calling you handsome.
Dogma: *pressing his palms together*
Dogma: *exhaling*
Dogma: we have,,,literally,,,the same damn face,,,
I remembered that one episode where Palpatine is plotting to kidnap force sensitive babies and Biker Clone Bois were the most blessed concept I’ve ever thought of. In this AU, the jedi are the police and they don’t quite approve the clone’s vigilante-ish agenda, but Anakin is Rex’s former boss (Rex quit the force) and he does his best to keep Rex’s men out of trouble, even if sometimes they kick someone’s teeth in for trying to break their restraining order.
Fives’ shirt shows a droid’s head crossed over by an X (in this AU, it’s actually the biker helmet used by the Droids, a gang that kidnaps children) and the writing over and under says Droid Killer). I do hope you appreciate the effort I’ve put on Fives’ chains, Dogma’s tattoo and on the pins holding Hardcase’s sexy shredded shirt together.
The whole AU idea was inspired, of course, by BACA – Bikers Against Child Abuse,
a super cool group of bikers that helps provide resources and protection to children who
face abuse. Their work is amazing and you should definitly check it out.
