The Clone Wars: 7.03 On the Wings of Keeradaks

[reynaberrieorgana]

A more balanced review of Queen's Peril. There are still criticisms but they seem to come from genuine analysis of the book's narrative structure.

[reynaberrieorgana]

It's so unfair that this random guy got an advance copy of the book and hates everything about it.

[reynaberrieorgana]

Both Dillard and Owens are Black. This is big news after the Sequel Trilogy’s cowardly failure to prioritize its Black co-protagonist. 

[reynaberrieorgana]

Why do you think Palpatine mentored Padme? She turned out to be too good and too bold and messed up his plans at least once, but before that, why did he choose her instead of a puppet or someone incompetent to rule Naboo? Or someone who would be willing to do backdoor dealings, not necessarily corrupt but willing to use the shadier side of politics?

I think it started because she was very talented, and had a lot of potential. She was also very young when their relationship started. It wasn’t unreasonable for him to think he could corrupt her as she grew up. Palpatine is a walking shit head, but the man recognizes talent when he sees it. Plus, as the Trade Federation showed, even if you are the bad guy, you want clever and competent people on your side. So they can adapt when things go sideways on them, instead of calling you every five minutes to ask you what to do when the slightest thing goes wrong.

By the time he realized that she was never going to bend, or be shaped into what he needed, publicly it was a bit too late to withdraw from the relationship. Not without a damn good reason, which she frustratingly kept refusing to give to him. Then she did give him one, but her marriage to Anakin was something he was using to manipulate him, so making that public would solve the problem of her, but create a new one when Anakin was thrown out of the Order.

Also, I think by that point, some of it was ego. No one who was seen as being his protege was ever going to be called incompetent.

STAR WARS: DARTH VADER #4 | Cover by Inhyuk Lee

WHO HUNTS THE HUNTER?   • DARTH VADER continues his terrifying quest for vengeance against everyone who hid the existence of his son from him.   • But on NABOO, the DARK LORD OF THE SITH faces a deadly new challenge as his focus turns from LUKE to PADMÉ, the wife of the man Vader used to be.   • And what secrets lie in the tomb of PADMÉ AMIDALA?

[reynaberrieorgana]

Leia never used the Skywalker name bc she was a fucking Organa so if Rey was truly adopting her Jedi masters’ legacy she’d say she was Rey Skywalker Organa but these films are made by men who named Kylo “Ben Solo” despite Solo being a name assigned by the Empire that Han would never want to keep and Leia would never pass to her son so...Disney I just want to talk about how you hate women, Latinos, and adoptees, that’s all bitch

Hello Finnrey Friday family!

It’s been about a month since Episode IX, and you’ve all been so patiently waiting for an announcement from us regarding where we’re going from now on.

As you all know, the trilogy has come to an end. A strange mix of relief, disbelief and sadness has struck us here at Finnrey Fridays, as we’re sure it has for you guys, too. Things definitely haven’t been ideal for our franchise, to put it very lightly. And in the fandom itself, things have never been easy, and we feel so honoured to have been able to keep this going through everything SW has thrown at us, thanks to your continued support. It’s been a ride, and we’ve been on it together.

However, we realized that we, and others, aren’t quite ready to let go of Finnrey completely, despite what has come to pass for our franchise. We were never involved solely for what canon would portray; we loved these two characters and their potential, their deep connection to each other and the blatant chemistry they’ve always had. We loved the potential for Finnrey, and we know that you still do, too.

So, on that note, we do have some bittersweet news. Finnrey Fridays will no longer be a weekly event as it has been for all these years. But fear not! We aren’t technically going anywhere—this blog will remain active, becoming Finnrey Forever, reblogging all Finnrey-positive content on to the blog, 7 days a week. We won’t be doing weekly Finnrey Fridays, but we’ll still be here—here for Finnrey for as long as you guys make your wonderful content! And who knows, maybe in the future with enough interest we will have another prompt-themed event.

We are going to be tracking the #FinnreyFridays tag as usual, and now the #FinnreyForever tag, and reblogging content on to our blog when we see it. We will also be watching the #Finnrey tag.

Feel free to still @ the blog in any of your Finnrey posts on any day of the week—you can even use some of our old themes as inspiration whenever you like and we will pop it in the theme’s tag on the blog.

We will be adding some new features to our tagging systems.

We will be tagging: #TFAera, #TLJera, #TRoSera, #TRoSAU, and #AU. That way, if any of you wish to avoid things from *ahem* certain points in the story, you can blacklist or just have a look at the tags before clicking a link, fic, etc.

Our URL will be remaining the same. We want to pay homage to our dear Finnrey Fridays, so if you do @ us in your posts, don’t worry, we are still @Finnreyfridays.

Thank you all so much for your continued support over the years, and though things are changing just a little bit, we hope you will stick around with us!

As always, our ask is open for any questions, comments or concerns.

All our love and gratitude,

Mods Em, Andie and El

I am so tired of reylos acting as though their fandom is completely pure when so many of them pull shit like this. This is just a small portion of the fucked up tweets I've seen about John Boyega, and they are all recent. They have taken his comment and spun it into an entire narrative where he is a predator who is obsessed with Daisy Ridley. At this point, I'm over explaining why this entire thing is so completely racist and fucked up. If you don't see how it's racist to paint a black man as predatory towards a white women with absolutely no evidence, and despite their very great friendship, then there is no hope for you and you need to fuck off. This is a small portion of the reason people hate reylos, and it has nothing to do with their bullshit claims of misogyny. Fans of color, specifically black fans, have had to deal with bullshit like this since the beginning of the sequel trilogies. Being called out on your racism doesn't make you a victim

Naomi Ackie about Jannah and Finn

“One thing she can comfortably talk about is Jannah’s bond with Finn, which might come across as romantic to plenty of viewers. That’s the intent, Ackie says.

“I felt like it was maybe a dating kind of vibe,” Ackie says of the characters’ relationship, adding that she and Boyega would “try and push it on set” to see how far much they could toy with their characters’ chemistry.

“There is an energy, I think,” Ackie said.“Also, like, we need to see Finn with someone, man! This man’s been bandied around. He needs to be loving on someone.”

Naomi about Jannah and Lando:

“Speaking of Lando, there were early theories that Jannah was going to be revealed as his daughter, which turns out to not be the case. Ackie understands why people gravitated toward the theory, even while she laughs at it.

“The theme of Star Wars is always trying to find family… abandoned children who don’t know who their parents are and I think that’s partially that,” she says. “But, obviously, again, does every white person who’s in a film get connected to another person in a film? Probably not. I think if anything, it goes to show that there’s probably not enough people of color in these films so that they can just wander around not being connected.””
