I used to enjoy his character as a tragic villain, but his fans and certain SW creators- (*cough* Felony *cough*) have woobified him so much that now I hate him out of spite lmao

I love Hayden, though! He’s done amazing work!

Hey fellow Star wars nerds!

What's your thoughts on Anakin Skywalker?

[jedi-enthusiast]

What's your opinion on Yoda?

The Fan Base opinion of him seems to split between ¹ Gremlin troublemaker, ² Wise grandfatherly-being and ³ Paranoid, stuck-in-his-ways bastard.

I'll admit to leaning more in the direction of 1) & 2). I can't say I've ever truly understood number 3).

Honestly, I love Yoda and I don’t much understand #3 either, but I assume it’s just that Yoda is old and in a position of power within the order (on the council) so people just immediately—for no reason—assume that he must be evil and corrupt and stagnant- (even though part of Jedi culture is literally embracing change???).

Personally I see him as a mix of #1 and #2.

He’s like that chill grandfather that’ll occasionally give you some pretty solid advice that seems all wise and sage, but then five minutes later your mom is yelling at him because he was teaching your younger cousins to say “fuck.”

I just love him and I think he needs to be appreciated more, he doesn’t deserve the hate.

Do you think that all the bowls, cups, and plates in the Jedi Temple are broken pieces put back together with space Kintsugi? I mean, Kintsugi is a Japanese art form that embraces change, and a lot of Jedi Ideals are based on Buddhism. In fact, the basic concept for ANH was somewhat based on Samurai movies. And I think it’s something the Jedi would do, taking a broken dish that anyone else would discard, and putting it back together with space Kintsugi.

ooooh I love this idea! lowkey might include it in bcc now that I think of it lol

Also consider: the Jedi intentionally breaking things like their dishes as a cultural practice during transitional moments in their lives or times where they have to practice letting go—almost like a meditative ritual.

Like a padawan being Knighted, so both them and their master break the cups they use most often and then trade pieces with each other and remake the cups—a representation of both of them transitioning into new periods in their lives, the changes that they’ve both experienced as an effect of being in each other’s lives, and a reminder that their master/padawan will still always be with them.

Or at a funeral, the Jedi each break one vase/plate/cup/etc. and then use one piece per Jedi to make a mosaic or an art piece to be burned on the pyre with them—an act of grief yes, perhaps an outlet for anger, but overall a show of LOVE for their fellow Jedi who has now become one with the Force.

It goes along with my HC that the Jedi are big on reusing and restoring things like clothes, furniture, lightsaber parts, even exchanging PLANTS, etc. because it helps them embrace change while also being a gentle reminder of their community and culture.

I just love the Jedi so much <33

Hello! You requested questions and I just happened to rewatch the Clone Wars Micro series last night and had forgotten the ceremony in which Anakin is Jedi Knighted. (The Jedi Council held their lightsabers upright in the dark then Yoda did a take on medieval knighthood to refresh anyone's memory.) Does this ceremony appear in any other Star Wars media or do you have an opinion about it? Thank you!

As far as I'm aware, a specific ceremony like what happens in TCW doesn't happen in any other SW media (at least not in what I'm familiar with, which is Disney + Lucas Canon, I have like...zero knowledge on Legends).

We don't get a whole lot of info on what actually happens during the "Knighting" process---we know that it's a test of readiness and skill of some sort, since there are multiple mentions of a "trial" or "great trial" of some sort, but we don't ever really get told what that's supposed to be. We know that someone going through a particularly difficult challenge is seen as fulfilling said trial, since Obi-Wan was Knighted after defeating Maul and Anakin was Knighted after trying to rescue Obi-Wan and protecting Padme on Geonosis, however I think that those situations are likely outliers given that they happen in a kind-of wartime context.*

Given what we're shown and told about the Jedi and their culture, I think a more normal "trial" before someone's Knighting would kind-of be like what we see on Ilum during "The Gathering" episode and what we see Ezra go through when getting his kyber crystal.

During that episode we see the younglings face difficult, but ultimately harmless, challenges that test their skills, flaws, and fears. Ilum tests them to figure out if they're ready to receive a kyber crystal (and therefore a lightsaber) and all the responsibility that comes with that, as well as their ability to apply what they've been taught to their situation---things like selflessness, bravery, determination, and kindness.

And when we see Ezra get his kyber crystal in Rebels, he goes through a very similar process. The Jedi Temple tests him but it specifically tests his ability to let go, to not have attachments, to be able to deal with loss---which is something that we see Ezra struggle with throughout the show. The Temple shows him very real things that could happen, notably Kanan dying and Ezra being hurt (emotionally) by the Ghost crew, as a way to see his reaction and how he deals with pain, anger, and grief---basically testing to see if he can handle those things, or if he's going to turn to the Dark Side the first time things get bad.

The episode culminates, and Ezra is finally given his crystal, when he shows that he can deal with those negative emotions and practice let go in a healthy way---when he proves that he's ready for the responsibility of being a Jedi.

Personally, I think a normal "trial" would probably include the Council evaluating said padawan and sending them on a mission tailored to their weaknesses and faults as a way to test said weaknesses and faults, either alone or with a knight/master whose job is SPECIFICALLY to just sit there and watch: no interference unless things get to a point where it’s a disaster and clear that the padawan can’t handle it.

The ACTUAL Knighting ceremony, though, I like to think there’s a small personal ceremony—like the one we see with Anakin—but then in peace time there’s a larger ceremony each quarter, to celebrate all the new knights and the passing of the torch: they have been taught and now it is their turn to teach- (with the obvious caveat that they’re always still learning, growing, etc.).

I also think it’d be really cool if the Jedi had specific robes for their Knighting ceremonies, more intricate and colorful than their usual outfits with details that represent different challenges they’ve faced, missions they’ve been on, their specific focuses, etc. but that’s just me wanting an excuse to see the Jedi in fancy robes lol

----------

*With Obi-Wan being Knighted after defeating Maul and not Falling after his master's death, I think that is 100% an outlier because like...how many padawans are facing a Sith after a thousand years of their "extinction" and I doubt a lot of padawans watch their masters get murdered right in front of them, given that they've had peace for hundreds of years at this point.

And with Anakin I also think it's an outlier since his Knighting literally happened right after a war had started. I think that Anakin wasn't really ready to be Knighted, as shown by...literally everything in AotC, but the Jedi were stuck between a rock and a hard place because a war just started and they need everyone that can to help fight the fascists and protect democracy and innocent civilians. I think it was a case of "he's rough around the edges, sure, but we trust him and he gets most of it, and we don't have the time right now to smooth things out like we would usually want to before Knighting someone" so they chose to Knight him then instead of waiting. So, again, an outlier.

I don’t know what ships you’re into, but a series that hits a bunch of different ships and has a ton of angst AND fluff AND is pro-jedi is Not This Crude Matter by thebitterbeast

That’s my main rec if you’re looking for something *centered* around being pro-jedi, but if you like the codywan ship then I have a lot more recs that are pro-jedi <3

I have finally gotten back into Star wars after taking a couple of years hiatus! However I find myself lacking people to yap to about it. If anyone has any recommendations for any prequel era, Jedi friendly Star wars servers please let me know!

[jedi-enthusiast]

I mean, I wasn’t really offended so much as I was tired tbh

Like I said, you can believe whatever! I don’t care, have your fun! If viewing SW through a “both sides sucked” lens makes it fun for you, have at it! There’s tons of blogs and fics and stuff dedicated to that you can have fun with!

I’m just coming from a place of- “my blog is dedicated to loving the Jedi and throughout this blog’s runtime I have dealt with an incredible amount of people coming onto MY BLOG to talk about how they DONT like the jedi.”

So when you reblogged one of my posts with an add-on of “they both sucked,” even if it was a joke, my first reaction is less likely to be “haha funny” and more likely to be “this again???”

Like I said, I’m not mad at all and you’re free to have fun with SW however you want! I’d just personally prefer it if people kept their anti-jedi/jedi critical stuff off of my posts, because I clearly don’t agree and it’s honestly just annoying at this point lol

The funniest thing about Star Wars is that the fandom looked at the peaceful warrior monks whose whole thing is being selfless and practicing emotional self-control, and decided that they were an abusive death cult...while simultaneously looking at the actual abusive death cult and going- "oh yeah, these guys Allow Love™️ and are 100% found family" -even though being abusive towards and murdering your loved ones and your fellow Sith is literally the main requirement for being one alongside being a shit person and committing atrocities

Palpatine murdered his entire family, abused literally every apprentice he had, and then committed multiple genocides and dragged the galaxy into a dark age of fear and pain

Maul murdered a ton of people, literally took every chance he could to ruin Obi-Wan's life and kill those close to him, abused Savage while "training" him, and kidnapped and manipulated a child to try and take him on as an apprentice while also trying to murder his family

Dooku helped orchestrate the plot that eventually got his padawan killed, attempted to kill his padawan's padawan, cut off the arm of his padawan's padawan's padawan, tried to enslave the galaxy and murder his family- (the Order) -and abused both Ventress and Savage while they were under his tutelage

Ventress abused Savage and forced him to murder his brother, took part in trying to enslave the galaxy, killed tons of innocents, and then tried to murder her former master in his sleep

Anakin's path to the Dark Side is literally marked by him doing worse things and more of them especially to those close to him, his Fall culminates in him murdering- (or attempting to murder) -his wife and unborn children as well as him trying to kill his brother/father figure and committing two genocides at once, he plunges the galaxy into a dark age, then continues to commit atrocities, also tries to kill his padawan a lot, tortured his daughter, and cut off his son's hand

...

So tell me again how these people are the- "uwu found family" -trope and are So Great because They Allow Love, because...idk, I'm not seeing it

[jedi-enthusiast]

Look man, I don't know. There are a lot of fascist fuckwits trying their best to ruin everything for everyone right now. There have often been a lot of fascist fuckwits trying to ruin everything for everyone. Not to downplay the pain and trauma we're all feeling at having to struggle through this particular go-round when the future looks especially dark, but it's not exactly a new thing in human history. Alas.

There are still many, many people telling the fascist fuckwits to eat shit. There are still long green spring evenings and slow golden summer afternoons and winter nights and autumn leaves. There are still coffee shops and weird little bookstores and small businesses on sidewalks lined with flowered trees. There are still sunrises and sunsets and blue skies and ocean shores and mountains. Oh yes, there are still mountains, which I have an especial fondness for. High up there in thin air, you can see forever.

There are still Gay People In Your Phone and texts and in-jokes. There are your blorbos. There is still fic and fanart. There are still books and music and games and art. There is a lot of art. Even with the AI beast trying to gobble and commercialize everything, there's still art! There are still people who think using your own brain to do things is important! There are still universities and publishing houses and other places where it's our job to think about things that matter!

There is still work that feels fulfilling to do. There are still constant little moments of quiet and beauty and rest. There are still jaw-dropping pictures of nebulae and galaxies and the great immensity of space, as we continue to learn things we never knew before. And amid all those stars, there is still a tiny, beautiful, and vulnerable blue planet which we only get to live on for a very short time, and there are still kids who are counting on us to make sure they get to inherit it in some kind of recognizable form. There is still the weird fact that when you give someone a hug and sit with them for a while and tell them over and over that it will be okay, it actually feels like it might be okay. I think that all means something.

Doomerism is really easy right now. I get it. I honestly 100% do. But I also don't see any point whatsoever in throwing up our hands and letting said fascist fuckwits gleefully terrify us into submission and make us live in fear and act like they're the Actual Meaning of the World (they are not). They suck so incredibly hard, but they're also so small and so stupid and so ultimately insignificant. They will not define this particular moment if we don't let them, and if we stick around to make sure they don't. Fuck 'em. I believe in you.

Courage, etc.

How it feels to be Jewish online

[jedi-enthusiast]

I saw this somewhere else on here, can’t remember who it was, but-

“Leftists will say they’ll firebomb a Walmart and then firebomb a synagogue” -or, in this case, a Jewish man’s home on the first day of Passover.

But yeah, sure, the left isn’t full of antisemites/s

You know when the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion was fire bombed on the first night of passover I knew, I hoped I was wrong, but I knew on a gut level that it was because Shapiro was a JEWISH Democrat.

[jedi-enthusiast]

What i think a huge issue with most goyim when it comes to the Shoah is that they don't grasp that an entire world was destroyed in the Shoah, and not even just in the "every person is as valuable as the world' sense.

Yiddish language, for instance- there were Yiddish theaters, coffeehouses, political parties.. all destroyed. The Shoah was an apocalypse.

"Shocking antisemitism from members of the school board, teachers union and public at Pajaro Valley USD meeting on Ethnic Studies...

Near the end of the meeting, Board Member Gabriel Medina engages in a truly shocking rant against members of the Jewish community:

“you only show up to meetings when it’s beneficial for you, so you can tell Brown people who they are…the lies that you spewed here tonight were insane…if you want to continue to be segregationists like you have in the past…”

"Trustee Flynn was “confused” because she saw “no antisemitism” in CRE. But she says:

I’ve been a little taken aback by is the lack of acknowledgement of the economic power historically held by the Jewish community that the community of black and brown people don’t have..there is that economic power that really does exist and there also is that presentation power - the privilege that comes from presenting as right, and that is real."

"She then accuses the Jewish community of not using their privilege and power to “move things forward”

...

“I want to remind this Board and future Boards that attempts to ignore and/or silence members of this community will no longer be met with passivity…attacks from people who want to preserve their privilege and power.”

This is one of the best examples of left wing antisemitism I've ever seen.

“Dayenu” means it would have been enough.

But for Jews this year, it never seems to be.

If we had only suffered global antisemitism—Dayenu.

If we had only endured the war in Gaza—Dayenu.

If we had only faced terror, kidnappings, rapes, massacres, attacks from seven fronts—Dayenu.

But we’ve suffered it all.

This Passover, as we sing Dayenu, we remember:

We have had enough.

Enough hate. Enough silence. Enough pain. Enough holding our people hostage.

And still—we survive. We sing. We demand the world see our humanity.

There are two reasons why LARPing leftists got mad at liberals saying “if Hillary/Kamala won, we’d be at brunch right now.”

1. It acknowledges the truth that reality is better, less stressful, and more stable under Democrats, which the “both sides are the same!!!” liars can’t handle

2. They use this to complain that liberals unplug and get complacent under Democrats instead of constantly protesting. But the thing is that this criticism rings extremely hollow when liberals stayed active and engaged under Biden while leftists did nothing but lie about his administration and openly root for the return of Trump to punish Democrats, and in general, the only people who actually took far-right fascism seriously over the past 10 years have been liberals, who were relentlessly mocked for protesting with pink hats, for obsessively keeping up with current events, and begging people to stop the serial rapist in the White House, all while the Cool Kid Bloggers sat back and constantly screamed excuses for why they refused to vote against fascism and somehow didn’t sound like Fox News watchers by aggressively downplaying how bad Trump is and laughing at liberals with “oRanGE maN BaD.” Like ok we’ve had many years now to know for a fact that when fascism knocks at your door, you won’t leave your bedroom or stop enabling the GOP by relentlessly ratfucking the opposition party, no matter how bad things get, so. Liberals go to brunch in between voting and protesting while leftists eat DoorDash in their rooms while poasting lol

“why are jews so mad about stuff that happened hundreds of years ago” it’s because the timeline of antisemitism on wikipedia looks like this:

some centuries have their own separate articles. here’s the decade leading up to the creation of the term “anti-semitism” from the nineteenth century article:

so like. i think anyone with a brain can understand why jews are pissed off. and if your knee jerk reaction to learning about the history of is to ask “what did the jews do?” nothing. the convenient lie is that jews have been persecuted throughout the centuries because of some inherent malignancy or evil disposition. the truth is more simple: people hate jews. and the truth is also more complex: people would rather believe jews are worth hating than confront the shame they themselves feel upon learning about the long history of antisemitic violence around the world. and the longer that shame exists, the more corrosive it becomes.

and what do human beings do when they feel ashamed? they project that feeling onto others. they may even blame the source of that shame, even if that source wasn’t the cause. rinse and repeat. it’s a very, very old cycle. just like how antisemitism is a very, very old cycle. not sure what the exact point of this post is, but i would love to stop seeing goyim dismiss jewish anger and trauma and grief for five minutes.

Palestine is Ruining the Left

I've taken this from Reddit because I've found it an interesting read, I did not write this myself, a user named u/ u/TooLittleNuance did. Feel free to reply and engage in converation.

I'm an Israeli-American leftist who has been active in American and Israeli politics for a number of years now. I have always advocated for human rights, equity, and self-determination for Palestinians who are oppressed(to different extents) under Israel, a nation that commits itself to Jewish domination of institutions. I always voted and campaigned for progressive Democrats and I assisted with the Israeli Meretz party from abroad. This is why I think the current Palestinian-sympathetic movement is ruining the left:

Abandonment of Pragmatism - Just like the 2020 George Floyd protests("Defund the Police"), the Western left has completely embraced a suicidal strategy of idealistic radicalism. Many of those on the left insist the solution to the conflict is a one-state solution consisting of Palestine "from the River to the Sea". Unfortunately, they've appropriated the Palestinian mythology in their ambitions to magically destroy Israel and the ideology of Zionism by BDS somehow or supporting Palestinian "armed struggle". It doesn't take a lot of thought to see how both of those methods are incredibly ineffective and immoral to advocate for and implement. So, instead of a pragmatic approach, like empowering the Israeli left through donations and advocacy, supporting a reasonable solution(two-state or one-state under Israel), or calling for the ultimate humanitarian end to the war of a unilateral Hamas surrender, the Western left insists on a dream scenario that will never happen. This is the most egregious behavior of the left and it's their most common mistake(i.e. Vietnam). This is due to the fact that Palestinians, especially in Gaza, are suffering under disproportionate Israeli force with no Western movement to realistically end it. In fact, these Western leftists, due to these tactics, are assisting in empowering and legitimizing the far-right of Israel. They are the perfect strawman to turn people off to the left in Israel, which, in turn, results in a lengthened Palestinian suffering.

Maximalism - There's a tendency on the left to outcompete each other in radicalism. It's not catchy or sexy to say "The war tactics that Israel uses are disproportionate and don't consider enough of the humanitarian cost", it has to be "genocide" or "ethnic cleansing" in order to provoke an emotional reaction from uneducated Westerners. It's not "the security policy of Hafradah has resulted in reduced human rights of Palestinians compared to Israelis", it has to be "Apartheid"(with the only legal precedent being South Africa). These maximalist statements immeasurably hurt the movement for true progress on Palestinian human rights. It results in a boy-who-cried-wolf situation: If Israel decides to transfer the entire Gazan population to the Sinai, what is that called? A "genocide"? Due to the present labeling of the war, nobody will believe it. What if Israel permanently transfers or kills 100,000 Palestinian civilians? 200,000? 1 million? What will that be called? How can it get worse than "genocide"? This Maximalist rhetoric is not only inaccurate, but it's incredibly damaging to describe the proportionate extent of Palestinian suffering, which is vital to any movement that faithfully advocates for an upliftment of Palestinian life and identity.

Normalization of Bigotry - Explicit or latent Jew-Hatred is being increasingly embraced by radical sections of the Western left. Tropes such as "Zionist"(a euphemism for "Jew" for many) control of governments or blood libel. Wishing "Death to Zionists" or equating them with Nazis is, in most cases, latent Jew-Hatred. Regardless of your thoughts on the definition of Zionism(there is no definition, it is a meaningless term), it's clear that many believe that "Zionists" are just uppity Jews. Of course, this is genuinely believed by a small portion of the left. However, a substantial part of Western leftists has repeatedly failed to condemn this Jew-Hatred and to stop mirroring the language of these latent or explicit Jew-Haters. This is 1000x worse in the case of Israelis. For Western leftists, it's normal to call Israelis "colonizers", "demons", "rapists", and "child-murderers" on their social media without repercussion or introspective irony. As somebody belonging to the Israeli nationality, I have been desensitized to the insane amount of bigotry from those that I formerly respected. However, many Israelis or Jews aren't as depersonalized as I am, and they definitely take the bigotry to heart. What do you think results from that? Usually, a vote for Likud(Netanyahu's Party) or a donation to AIPAC. Thus, propagating a cycle of bigotry and continuing the suffering of Palestinians.

Propaganda - This war has sparked the largest disinformation campaigns in human history. Multiple state entities (Israel, U.S., Russia, Iran, Qatar) and numerous private entities are pumping out loads of propaganda in order to manipulate uneducated Westerners into supporting their interests. Since October 7th, known Russian disinformation propagator, Jackson Hinkle, has skyrocketed in followers due to his ability to mislead Western leftists on the war. I have seen an unfathomable amount of reposts from Al Jazeera and MiddleEastEye, known Qatari state propaganda and major propagates of misinformation. I have always appreciated the value of institutional skepticism that embodied many of the historical and academic leftist leaders. However, right now, those values are completely thrown out in favor of Russia or Iran's geopolitical advocacy of "everything the West does is bad". The previous three points of behavior are certainly emboldened by the paid disinformation and bots that propagate anti-Western sentiment to destabilize Western democracy. Meanwhile, the basic interests of Palestinian civilians are left unregarded while these state operatives kill their only lifeline.

Reactionary Resurgence - One of the main factors that attracted me to the left was its rejection of reactionary ideology(the establishment of traditional institutions from the past). For Israelis and Palestinians, reactionary rhetoric is normalized and encouraged in many cases. However, this reactionary ideology that has plagued those who share my nationality has spread to Western leftists in their advocacy for Palestine. Western leftists constantly appropriate the far-right and reactionary talking points that many radicalized Palestinians spout. An example would be the insistence on the exclusive indigeneity of Palestine from the River to the Sea, which abandons the progressive values of anti-nationalism and intersectionality. Another example would be the appropriation of Palestinian Martyrdom, in which many of them embraced the idea that human life can be inherently reduced to a political or national cause by their manner of death. This is a clear rejection of the values of individualism, secularism, and anti-nationalism.

Historical Negligence - Those who are even a little bit informed on the Israel-Palestinian Conflict understand that the conflict is too complex to be treated as a soccer match of Israelis vs. Palestinians. Many Israeli and Palestinian leaders set roadblocks to an equitable peace, while many others progressed the conflict to a more positive state. Even more than the historical complexity of this conflict, evaluating the moral complexity requires a graduate degree in a relevant field with hundreds of hours of research. I typically advise not to trust anybody's commentary of the conflict with any less credibility than the previous sentence. However, the Western left has instead decided to follow the historical and moral analysis of demagogues. There's constantly factually wrong or misleading historical information on many of these Palestinian-sympathetic accounts. An example is the map of a "disappearing Palestine" that millions have reposted, a blatantly misleading map meant to depict "Zionist colonization", meanwhile, neglecting the historical borders of the conflict. There are many other forms of historical negligence that they commonly employ that are extremely damaging for understanding the conflict.

In conclusion, Western leftists are keeping up with the Western traditions of white saviorism and interfering with this particular trendy foreign conflict. I could have written a few more grievances that I have of the Western left(including the embracement of far-right Islamist groups) but I wanted to keep the post relatively short. In several months, Western leftists will forget about the Gazans suffering under the disproportional force of the IDF. Nobody will self-criticize the ideas or tactics that they engaged in, meanwhile, the Israeli left-wing and reliable non-Hamas Palestinian advocacy organizations are left in the dust by an ineffective white-savior-esqe Western movement. Not only that but due to all of these factors making the left look like lunatics, Biden and the Democrats are being affected in the polling, which may result in Trump being elected, a terrible outcome for Palestinians.
