They also had their own slave army so they didn't just fail to end it, they enabled it.
Actually the Jedi could have ended slavery, they just chose not to hope this helps 😊

The grim reality of Andor really drives home the absolute thin margins of error that Kallus was dealing with off-screen in the first three seasons of Rebels. While we haven’t seen his pathway in the ISB or how he got recruited as an undercover operative, we got enough context clues from what we saw in Andor to know that this man did so much.
Kallus had intimate knowledge of how the Empire and the ISB worked. He is intelligent and capable, so he figured out how to play the Imperial game to get himself ahead in his career. And once he started asking questions, he knew how to operate within the system to ensure the sunrise he might never get to see.
The fact that it was Thrawn who figured out he was a Fulcrum agent means that Kallus was doing a damn good job. Thrawn just operates on a different level from everyone else in the Empire. Kallus likely knew that and figured out that he was on borrowed time once Thrawn showed up on the scene. But he still got up and did everything he could.
Kallus justifiably deserves his flowers. He got to see his sunrise.

I wish people realized that Mace and Qui-Gon were incredibly close, and perhaps shared one of the strongest bonds within the Order. Qui Gon didn't just love Obi-Wan, Dooku, and Anakin. He loved Mace so much that he entrusted him with a mission after his death.
Like the appreciation and respect they had for one another goes unnoticed

WIP 🚧 partially colored version of yesterday’s sketch. The Vanto family cookout is coming along nicely, I think.
I appreciate the irony of Thrawn wearing a white shirt even when out of uniform, but I tried different color combos on him and they just didn’t look right… turns out white is just his color LOL. Let’s just say that he’s wearing light colors for comfort, after all his Chiss biology wouldn’t mix well with Lysatran heat. XD (Thrawn wears long sleeved shirts to the beach send tweet.)

cultural differences are funny, because I can see Eli having the occasional young adult argument with his parents, and the Chiss just staring in horror as this young man blatantly disrespects his family in their eyes.
And it's not like Eli hates his parents, he just gets annoyed of them as most young adults do (no mom, i'm not going to come half across the universe to go to a family reunion. --No dad, I haven't found a partner yet. Yes, i'm eating--can i please call you back later--I'm not being short with you i'm just--okay bye you're both frustrating me.)
After the call, Aralani has to pull him in her office and explain how absurd it is to argue back and forth with one's family.

i wonder if there's a way to say that you don't necessarily dislike Rey, but you dislike the fact that her narrative is built off of racism and sidelining of characters of color. And while her story continues to be fleshed out, Poe, Finn, and Rose's stories have subpar, borderline offensive writing.
That we were baited with the fact that we would have a black Jedi, who's Jediness went to Rey and who's importance to Rey and the plot seemed to dwindle away.
I don't hate Rey, but I don't particularly care for her for the reasons above.

Sisters 🏳️‍⚧️
The humidity on Pabu makes Sister’s hair a hassle to wear loose so she’s often seen in two braids. Omega wants to match, but she’s never braided hair before.

twitter acknowledging that Anakin's physical and emotional assault of Padme is a very huge reason why she died is giving me life.

thinking of jyn repeatedly describing saw as kind and gentle and caring and compassionate in the rogue one novelization. thinking of how saw reaches out to wilmon so sincerely in the middle of his speech and how wilmon would not have become who he was by the end of the series without that. thinking of all the grief and weariness we see saw carry in rogue one… he’s often seen as either this goated legendary badass or as dangerously volatile but he actually retains so much space for softness and he expresses his feelings so openly and i love that so much about him. this post isn’t going anywhere i just think he’s wonderful.

lasty i'll say--if fans can like Kallus and Anakin, and forgive them for their crimes, folks should be able to like Saw. Him being one of the most hated characters makes little to no sense.

While these same people ignore what Tarkin did and happen to be Anakin fans.
i still don’t get why people don’t like saw gerrera. he’s like the best guy around

Thrawn because I really like exploring alien biology and i think it would be interesting to see his parents lowkey act like older southern folks when they find out their son knocked up someone. like "well Eli you gotta marry him now" or "Eli you gotta start thinking about your kid now instead of doing all of this crazy stuff in space."
this includes eggpreg. feel free to elaborate in the tags!

I am honestly impressed with the Codywan shippers. Ya'll made this ship up out of nothing - the boys barely spoke to each other other than to discuss military stuff in the first few seasons of TCW- and managed to get the writers to put in a scene of Obi-Wan majestically stopping Cody from being shot with his lightsaber in the final season, got the original writer of the Kenobi show to make a subplot about them, AND now they're touching each other on the anniversary poster when Obi-Wan's canon love interest is standing all by herself on the other side. Somebody at Lucasfilm definitely likes ya.
