We know that Jabba the Hutt canonically knew who Anakin was. He even met him, in the TCW movie when he and Ahsoka returned his son. So Jabba probably saw an overdramatic, Chanel-boots-wearing, cloak-donning Jedi Knight who claimed to be called "Skywalker" and was like .... oh lmfao this makes sense
One time my dad came to family dinner all excited “you know that show Sherlock? I hear fans are writing whole new stories for it online”
And in perfect unison my sister and I yelled “DAD NO!” So vehemently he stopped in his tracks.
Then a look of dawning comprehension on his face.
“Oh, this is like Kirk and Spock, isn’t it”
And I died right then and there.
My mom was into fanfic back when it was still all in handmade zines passed back and forth in-person. My mother is the one who first told me what fanfic was. My mother used to print her favorite fics out on our home printer and stick them on the shelf to read again later. My mom had an Ao3 account before I'd ever heard of Ao3.
Fanfic is not some new millennial/gen z thing that nobody over 35 knows about. It's really not that weird for middle-aged folks and elders to be into it. The folks who were writing Spirk fic in the 60s are, like. Still around.
Yes they are. And some of them have given me actual money to write for them!
It's an amazing world we live in. :)
My dad has an Ao3 account. I don’t know what his preferred fandoms are. The only reason he knows mine is because I talk about them, but he doesn’t ask me for links.
I first ran into fanfiction at Star Trek conventions waaaay back in the 1970s (when I was in college). It was an odd mixture of shock and joy to find out that other people were creating brand new stories. The revelation that I wasn't alone in doing was validating in a way that's hard to describe. To this day, places like Ao3 still fill me with wonder at the depth of creativity our passions produce. Of all the things to come out of the internet, fanfiction archives is one of the best.

I think an underappreciated element of Leia's character is that even after days or weeks of ruthless interrogation interspersed with torture, she still had the presence of mind to identify a feature of the Stormtrooper who barged into her cell that she could mock.
I couldn't have been the only person that thought they were a thing from the pilot right?
