“I thought you said you’d never have a Padawan, sir …,” Rex said at last.
“Someone must have fouled up the flimsi.” As soon as the battalion was relieved, Anakin would pack Ahsoka off to the Temple again. “I don’t have a Padawan. I can’t have a Padawan. There’s normally at least some discussion about this kind of thing first.”
Ahsoka stepped in front of him. “I’m still here, Skyguy. Stop talking about me as if I’m not.”
“Skyguy.” Rex took off his helmet and laughed. “Skyguy …”
Anakin wasn’t in the mood. He fixed Ahsoka with a don’t-mess-with-me look. “What did you call me? Look, don’t get snippy with me, youngling. You’re not even old enough to be a Padawan.”
“I’m not a youngling,” she said. “I’m fourteen.”
Rex kept a straight face. “I’m ten,” he said, “but I’m tall for my age.”
So I was at Barnes n noble and came across this book called “on the frontlines” (?) It’s about all the major battles of the Star Wars universe told from the perspective of individuals. I was shocked when I turned to this page. it was hella expensive so I quickly took a photo of this page. Get ready for feels you guys…
What happened to Tup is one of the saddest stories in TCW. So naturally I wanted to dive in to it a bit! The dynamic between Fives and Tup is also really heartbreaking, and it showcases a lot of Fives’ quirks and tendencies for physical expression.
I will cover some of what happened in the inhibitor chip arc, so be forewarned.
At first, Fives is rough with Tup, as he usually is when messing with his brothers
but he keeps an eye on Tup throughout the next battle.
Fives reacts to Tup aiming his blaster
and tries to prevent it from happening
but of course, he’s too late (notice how Fives is the only trooper to DROP EVERYTHING in the middle of the battle to restrain Tup).
Despite Tup executing a Jedi in cold-blood, Fives isn’t frustrated like Rex or flummoxed like Kix – he’s terrified for his brother.
