i kept having this amusing thought of Big Boi adam driver having to shove himself between his identical suits to record whatever TROS line ever since that news came out.

Thought about Lando wanting Ben to have his blaster “in case his dad wasn’t around and he was in trouble” and GOD FUCK OW

This is so fucking tragic. Imagine if Ben had gone to Lando instead of Snoke?? Like just shown up and been like “I need a place to stay” and of course Lando would give his little starfighter somewhere to lie low, even if Ben won’t tell him why. Lando asks every once in a while if Ben wants to call his parents but he never pushes anything. Ben eventually breaks down and explains what happened and Lando is confused obviously but the kid’s never been a liar and he doesn’t understand this Force stuff anyway.

He calls up Han and tells him Ben is ok and that there was a misunderstanding but it’s not his place to tell. Han fucking books it across the galaxy to talk to his son, cause at this point all hes got to go on is that Luke is gone and the temple is gone and he finally knows where his kid is.

Ben explains everything to Han. EVERYTHING and Han doesn’t know shit about the Force but this is his SON so he says fuck it come with me and they go off and start smuggling together. Han let’s Leia know Ben is ok and that it wasn’t his fault but that he needs to get away from stuff for a while. And because Han loves his son, he calls up old favors and friends even if it makes him owe a few more debts and he gathers all the info he can about this “snoke” mother fucker and once he knows where the bitch is he tells Leia.

She contacts some less than law abiding friends from their rebel days and a squadron of fighters drops a couple bombs on Snokes house and the voices in Bens head go silent. Palpatine isn’t in this au cause I want my boy to have some peace ffs

They find Luke eventually and there’s a lot of bad blood but tentatively those wounds begin to heal.

And after a while everyone is happy and nothing hurts. And then the Falcon gets stolen and taken to the middle of ass fuck nowhere Jakku and Ben tags along reluctantly to help his dad get it back. He’s not sure why but he just feels like he should be there

People who guested on Sesame Street or The Muppet Show often mentioned this phenomenon in interviews. 

I’m reminded of a possibly apocryphal story where a talk show was doing a Kermit the Frog guest spot, and the sound technicians couldn’t figure out why the audio pickup was so terrible - until they realised that they’d unthinkingly attached the wireless mic to the puppet rather than the voice actor.
