finally, I have watched "Jedi Night" in Japanese.

It went on air several months ago.

But I didn"t have the courage to watch it even though I knew how things come out.

Now I need more courage to watch "DUME".

I just don't want to see Hera get hurt.

[sumira04]

Hey, I was doing just fine, then I remembered, Kanan fucking Jarrus died.

Still not over his death, reblog if you agree

[sumira04]

Considering her distressed words (“Why did I wait so long to tell him?”), it seems as if it must have happened before “The Occupation”. But I think it was the right thing for her to do-to conceive their son on Lothal. It somehow feels very natural, as if it was preordained.

[sumira04]

I've just recognized this.

He sacrificed himself not only for three people of his family.

He saved another one, who had a strong, personal connection with him.

His son.

May I cry?

[sumira04]

…Could he see her at last?

It is a beautiful episode.

I'm grateful for seeing it.

But

I don’t think I can get over this.

[sumira04]

I have just watched SW TLJ.

It was so much fun beyond words.

And SWR season4 will start this evening in our country!

I can't wait to watch kanera scenes translated into J apanese.

I am extremely happy.

[sumira04]

kanan is scarily attractive for an animated character,,, reblog if agree

[sumira04]

I'm so jealous.

It's not easy to get them in my county…

Don’t talk to me or my Jedi sons ever again.

When Hera Calls Kanan 'Love'

I’ve honestly been a little surprised this week by the wide variety of reactions to Hera calling Kanan ‘Love’ in the Rebels season three finale.

This is my take:

Kanan and Hera’s canon relationship status is established from their very first scene together in the pilot, in which Hera calls Kanan—you guessed it, 'Love.’

Hera continues to call Kanan 'Love’ or 'Dear’ repeatedly throughout the first season of the show as our heroes fight the Empire around their home base of Lothal and beyond. But then the season ends and so do the terms of endearment, vanishing entirely from her lips until we reach “Zero Hour.” (And we all collectively groaned “Whhhyyyyyyy????”)

This is where I think it gets interesting and says so much about Hera’s character. The real key, to me, is what happens at the end of season 1: the Ghost crew joins the Phoenix Squadron/greater rebellion—a move which was, first and foremost, Hera’s idea. And she quickly becomes a ranking member of the military group.

Suddenly, they are no longer just the space family roaming about solo anymore, they are part of something larger, and their missions, rather than being personal, are now professional, even when they are not with the rest of the fleet. Since before A New Dawn, Hera has been, is, and always will be devoted to and driven by her larger goals in life, and she quickly embraces the professionalism of her new role.

Thus, because we nearly always see Kanan and Hera in the company of others and on a mission, 'dear’ and 'love’ vanish from her public vocabulary. If you happened to work with your significant other (especially in a highly structured or professional environment), you wouldn’t call them 'babe’, hubby’, 'wifey’, etc. at work either.

Over the course of the next two seasons, Hera’s professionalism continues; she grows as a leader and her sense of command expands, until we reach the crisis of “Zero Hour.” The imperial bombardment rains down on Chopper Base, and we watch Hera’s expression shift from confidence/hope to a visceral fear/terror. Before the bombardment, she tells Kanan “You need to get back to base immediately"—a command, an order, properly phrased and neutral. But afterwards (and in front of General Dodonna, no less) that shifts to: "Now please, come home, Love.”

In the face of their mutual near death experiences, Hera drops her professional guard and for a single moment, they are just them. She’s Hera, and Kanan’s the man she loves, whose safety matters more than anything else in the galaxy. The moment is both minuscule and enormous. It’s just one slip, but it reassures us—it tells us that no matter where they go, what they do, or who they work with, Kanan and Hera are still Kanan and Hera.

Their private life may be private, but they are still as in love and devoted as ever. And this is beautiful to me.

I also want to note that her admission isn’t a weakness, in any way. Just a little while later, when Thrawn threatens Kanan to try to get Hera to surrender (certainly inferring the nature of their relationship himself), she stands as strong as ever.

Tough as durasteel and always in love with her Jedi, that’s my girl.

yes! "Tsubaki Sanjuro"! It's a legendary scene in Japanese film history.

The final duel between Obi-Wan and Maul...

Is explicitly noted in the Recon as a tribute to Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai, which George Lucas frequently pays tribute to in his SW films. There was an infamous duel sequence where emphasis was placed on build-up when the actual clash transpires within only milliseconds.

But I also think of another Kurosawa film, Sanjuro.

I'm learning a lot from him. There's a lot to learn from this show.

Ezra, the Counselor

Ezra and Sabine’s dialogue in “Trials of the Darksaber” has received a very mixed reaction from the community, and understandably so. The first real character-building moment we’ve seen between these two since Season 2, their talk unleashes a torrent of emotions pent up since the unresolved revelations of Sabine’s family history in “Mandalorian Supercommandos.” While not perfect, Ezra’s approach to the situation reflects his innate talent for connection and conflict resolution.

1) He gives Sabine space.

Different people have different needs when it comes to handling emotional stress and trauma. As fiercely independent and frustrated as Sabine is, Ezra likely recognized that trying to draw closer would only inflame tensions in the moment. Instead, gives her plenty of room to physically and emotionally maneuver, giving her the ability to talk on her terms.

2) He builds a common understanding.

Ezra’s a smart kid; he knows that the confrontation during sparring practice is just the symptom of a bigger concern. However, instead of pressing her on the underlying issue, Ezra relates to Sabine with his own previous frustrations in training. Doing so, he demonstrates he’s her peer, giving her the ability to open up to him further.

3) He listens.

After initiating the conversation, he lets Sabine direct where it goes. Other than demonstrating active listening by asking her to clarify her statements, he allows her to take her time going as deep into the situation as she wants, all the while keeping his own opinions and thoughts sidelined.

4) He doesn’t oversimplify the situation.

As Sabine begins to unpack the weight of her family’s rejection, Ezra avoids a common pitfall: he doesn’t attempt to draw equivalence between his own experiences and hers. Saying “I understand” might seem like a positive affirmation, but he recognizes that he can’t empathize with Sabine’s family history because he hasn’t truly lived it himself. Alternatively, he expresses sympathy towards Sabine’s situation - and leaves it at that. 

5) He gives her the hard truth.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Stay with me for one second.

Ezra’s parting words were not phrased well, but were a critical point that Sabine needed to hear. In the process of getting to the crux of her struggle, Sabine begins “spiraling” - locked into a paralyzing cycle of self-doubt and negativity that leaves her unable to confront the issue or take any action other than mentally destroying herself. Ezra breaks into this cycle by injecting a fact that she is overlooking: there is still the opportunity to take action. Doing so, he guides Sabine towards making her own decision on what to do about the situation, rather than trying to project his own ideas of what she “ought” to do.

Ezra may not have done everything right, but demonstrates genuine care and concern for his family and for Sabine’s welfare. Most importantly, his approach continues to empower Sabine as a person, demonstrating her own resiliency and strength of character. In all, the scene is one of my favorite demonstrations of Ezra’s growing maturity as a member of his new family.

Yes. it is. The storyline is awesome.

Madoka Magica is such a great show, man.

[sumira04]

When I heard her name called and saw it on the subtitles in the movie, I pumped my fists. She is alive at the time. But what has become of her family? Still with her? or … I am worried about them.

[sumira04]

I am happy now.

The season 3 SWR is starting today. I will finally be able to hear their voices in Japanese. And I've got a ticket of Rogue One just now ! It starts at 1:30AM on 16 December, in our country. So it's quite early. I guess it's one of the earliest showtimes in the world. Actually the MX4D and IMAX versions start at 0:00AM, but I don't like them. I prefer 2D. it's so exciting!

[sumira04]

In the book The Jedi Path it is shown that Aksoka has had the book before and has written comments in it. Also in picture three I believe it says “The Prophecy of the Chosen One”. Then in the fourth I believe it says “fulcrum”. It could be a possibility that Ahsoka chose to call herself (and other important peoples) Fulcrum. It could be because Ahsoka knew that her Master was the Chosen One and she chose the name because it has meaning to her Master. This is just a theory but let me know if you agree!

same

Can anybody tell me what is is about this show that makes me act like a 12 year old fangirl?

[sumira04]

For the love of God and all the Star Wars (Rebels) Fandom, PLEASE let the Ghost Crew either

-appear in Rogue One, no matter if the whole team, a single character or just a damned half-second-image of the Ghost

-be mentioned in Rogue One, either by the name “Ghost crew”, “lothal rebels”, “Spectres” oder a real one

-have a connection to a storythread 

-just one small tiny reference

-please

-PLEASE

Because I’ll be damned it the Ghost crew won’t be alive at that time and honestly, they are so IMPORTANT to the rebellion and it would be such a shame if Disney would miss this great opportunity to tie the movies to the animated universe in this way
