❝ he said i could get right by myself. he said i could make it right. if i was brave enough and listened to what was in my heart ❞
Welcome friends! With the end of the year rapidly approaching, as well as the 2nd anniversary of Rogue One being released in cinemas, we figure it’s a good time to celebrate one of the key characters in the film – an Imperial who puts everything on the line to follow his heart, and defect in order to give the Rebels a chance against the Death Star.
We are of course, talking about Bodhi Rook
Starting Saturday December 1st (Riz Ahmed’s birthday) and lasting through December 8th, we will be celebrating all things Bodhi. His bravery, courage, heart and spirit. Everything that we love about this character. Any and all types of media are welcome – from fanfiction, to art, to mixes and more!
So mark your calendars, and spread the word! Starting now, and lasting through the week will be taking suggestions via ask or submission to this blog for each day’s themes. On the 16th, we will start voting for themes and will announce the schedule after the closing ends on the 19th.
November 8 – 15th: Theme submissions
November 16th – 19th: Theme voting

During the event, we will be tracking the tags #bodhirookweek2018, #bodhiweek2018. Rules and further information can be found here.
Any questions or comments can be directed to our ask. Thank you, and we hope you’ll celebrate with us!
Reblogging reminder that we’re still taking prompts!!
I see all your posts about Cassian and/or Jyn appearing in the Han Solo movie and raise you Han taking classes at the Imperial Flight Academy with Bodhi Rook.
It’s a cool book. I haven’t read through it yet, but it’s got a lot of Stormtrooper behind the scenes history.
One part I did read is the section on a Star Wars comic from 1983 called “The Stormtrooper Alliance” that had stayed with me as a kid and is one of the reasons I was excited to have an ex Stormtrooper hero in the sequels. In it, Leia is rescued by a Stormtrooper from Alderaan who had once been a servant to The Organas. This was when Stormtroopers signed up or were conscripts. It brought up class issues and showed that for some troopers, the Imperial Army meant they could take care of their families. I was stunned by the realization that they weren’t just mindless minions, and that it took a certain level of privilege to be able to fight for The Rebellion, which was volunteer in every sense.
Point being, it explores a lot of interesting stories across all Star Wars media.
The character reminds me of Bodhi, who also probably started working for the Empire for economic reasons. Stormtroopers, like other rank-and-file people in the Empire and later FO, raise a whole bunch of interesting issues like class, agency, responsibility, and complicity.
I wonder if defections like these were why the FO opted for abduction and brainwashing over hiring/conscription. Joke was on them, though…
