MST3K: Force Ghost Special

Summary:

Force Ghosts Anakin and Obi-Wan watch Luke Skywalker and the Jedi’s Revenge together. The holodrama sparks some rather…uncomfortable discussion between them.

OR: What Force Ghosts do for fun in the afterlife.

Notes:

I think this one is readable without knowing the content of Stover’s novel. It definitely helps, though! (Also: Nope, still not sorry.)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“Hey, Obi-Wan, whatcha watching?”

“Anakin, you’re blocking my view—”

Luke Skywalker and the Jedi’s Revenge? Seriously?”

“It’s interesting!”

“Alright, alright, don’t get so defensive. Let’s see it.”

“I really don’t think—”

“Obi-Wan.”

“You, err, you may not enjoy it.”

“Yeah, well, let me be the judge of—wait. What is this? They think I killed Palpatine because I was jealous of me?!”

“The holodrama suggests that Vader resented Palpatine’s formerly intimate relationship with Anakin, yes.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

“…”

“What is it.”

“What is what?”

“I know that look, Obi-Wan, and that look says—”

“Did you?”

“Did I what?”

“I—oh, nevermind.”

“Obi. Wan.”

“Well, Anakin, did you?”

“Did I what? Kill Palpatine? You should know! Why do you care, anyway?! You were the one who told my son to—oh. Oh-hooooo. I get it now. You’re jealous.”

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

“Yeah, you’re jealous!”

“I am not.”

“Are too.”

“These are not the droids you’re looking for—”

“Don’t change the subject. Yeah, I fucked him a few times.”

“Anakin, you—no—!”

“Oh, puh-leeze, spare me that scandalized tone. I’ve fucked you, too. More than a few times.”

“Yes, but—”

“And I’ll do it again. How’s ‘right now’ sound?”

“I—oh, very well.”

Notes:

FYI: Luke Skywalker and the Jedi’s Revenge is a kind of in-universe RPF and propaganda holo that features in Matthew Stover's novel, Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor. It portrays Palpatine as having so loved Anakin that he's decided he wants Anakin's son Luke to be his heir. Vader (who is not the same person as Anakin) kills Palpatine in a jealous rage, and then Luke kills Vader to avenge the death of Palpatine.
