"Over a decade after its release, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) still stands out as George Lucas’s summative and most masterful artistic statement. I use the word “summative” deliberately, because Sith incorporates a broad cinematic heritage, and also draws from Lucas’s own interests in narrative/illustrative art, architecture, world religion and mythology, anthropology, philosophy, pedagogy, and even race-car driving. In finding a tonally and visually radical common ground for these fixations, the film also addresses and subverts the director’s own oeuvre; and, as has always been the case with Star Wars, Sith contends with the poles of past and future, searching for (and sometimes grappling with) the space between. Of course, the Star Wars saga has always been anachronistic, employing science fiction iconography while also pulling famously from Joseph Campbell’s theory of monomythic commonalities in world narratives; the original film, released in 1977, also acted as a gateway to a commercial future, opening the floodgates (along with Steven Spielberg’s Jaws [1975]) for a new kind of American blockbuster cinema. However, while Lucas and Spielberg offered auteurist statements on genre that were also fortunate enough to generate mass appeal, the majority of big-budget fare has since become studio-incubated and sanctioned by market control groups, resulting in films that are often devoid of passion for cinematic language. Ironically and sadly enough, this can certainly be said of J. J. Abrams’s insipid The Force Awakens (2015), a reactionary attempt to conserve a falsely utopic view of the saga’s origins."

Non-Hazbin Hotel characters that are better than Alastor: The Sequel

NOTE: I made "Non-Hazbin Hotel characters that are better than Alastor: The Sequel" because I got more characters that I have on the list.

Hehehe, Alastor is gonna get solo'd by everyone!

Thoughts on reylo? i see a lot of zutara shippers also ship them

I do not care for the ship. I don't like Kelvin Remy, and I didn't buy the chemistry between him and Rey. Also, the similarities between Kipper Rye and Zuko are very surfacy to me. I think he's a lot closer to Finn than Krusty Reach.

I wrote about why TFA made no sense and why it was inherently destructive to the meaning of the saga all the way back in 2016, long before the rest of the fake-sequels were released.

It’s easy to blame TLJ, since it was terrible, but I do want to stake a claim to “TFA threw the OT trio under the bus and positioned OT heroes as failures in need of redemption”. I think that element was always poison and without a thorough explanation/justification as the core of the trilogy, excitement would always wear off and disappointment would always creep in.

I dont know who made the template for this meme, i found it on google.

I am probably the only person in this fandom (on DA at least) that doesn't ship these two. I guess its due to my own apathy towards cc x cc ships in general or my Oc ship with optimus. I know people ship them because they want optinus to save blackarachnia or she gets redemed amd changed back to elita but the show made it clear she doesnt WANT to be saved. Hell, she evengot WORSE when she decided to mutate Wasp who was an innocent bystander. That and she hates optimus - ironically more than sentinel when it was his idea to go to archa 7 - despite him risking his neck to still help her. She has no problem taking adavntage of his longering feelings for her.

Optimus isnt without flaws. He's pretty blinded by compassion and the past, almost as if hes loving a shadow. I wished there were more scenes where he stands up to her. I dont like how fans put pressure on him to redeem her when she's GROWN woman who CHOOSES to be evil.

Thats not a good relationship. Even if she was suddenly cured she'd probably still hate him because she cant help herself. Honestly i think the best route is for him to realize that they cant go back and move on with his life, and for blackarachnia to live on her own - and without him shielding her from the consequences of her actions. I want Optimus to find someone who's honest& accepts him. someone isnt a manipulative, self victimizing witch. Someone like me 🤭

Of course if you ship it that's totally fine! But this is MY opinion on the ship and why i personally dont like it.

I'll never get over how dirty they did Leia in the Sequels.This woman lost EVERYTHING when she was 19. She was tortured in the cruellest ways possible by having to watch as Tarkin blew up her entire home planet in front of her. Gone. Her people,her family,her friends,her culture.She managed to escape, spend 4 years fighting the empire and after it's fall she learns that the monster who tortured her and her friends and slaughtered them like pigs is actually her biological father.

And then decades later when she finally had the time to deal with all this trauma some dipshit reveals her family secret forcing her to retire as Chancellor, her son turns into a cringy edgelord that kills his father and everything she worked for is in shambles as said cringelord blows up the entire system with the senate on it terrorizing the galaxy with his discount empire.

She is still a general but all she really does is sit there with all the other characters the producers forgot until she dies and it somehow convinces kyle ren that he's good again.

I’m never gonna ask “why do people ship them” because I know why— but really. Reylo is soooooo bad. He literally kidnapped and tortured her, and she was terrified of him

SW rant of the day

You should NOT have to retcon an ENTIRE SAGA in order to make one idiotic little film ‘make sense.’  

If the story of the film in question does not flow logically as a continuation of the main saga as it is, and  if, in order to make it appear to do so you have to shoehorn it in via tie-in material, then that right there is probably a big sign that, you know...it’s not the story that needs to be, or even *should* be, told. 

[theweeklydiscourse]

Could you imagine if someone said something like “ATLA would’ve been a better show if Zuko was tempted towards joining team Avatar and fighting to end the war but instead chose to pursue evil and staunchly rejected any chance of redemption . Wouldn’t it be so compelling if after the Crossroads of Destiny, Zuko just became more evil? Yeah, I mean fully embracing fire nation nationalism and becoming like his father. I would love it if the narrative presented us with the possibility of his redemption only for it to subvert those expectations and have him begin and end as an ontologically evil villain who remains static for all three seasons. What an amazing character arc that would be.”

This is what “Ben Solo should never have been redeemed” discourse sounds like to me. I know people have their interpretations, but I am genuinely so baffled by the idea that his character would’ve been improved if they had done what is essentially a retread of Anakin’s arc in the prequels. It’s complete and utter nonsense and I’m so annoyed by all of the people talking about that idea as if it’s SOOOOOO DEEP when in reality it’s probably the shallowest storyline you could come up with.

mel & jayce were friends with benefits who clearly cared for one another & found solace through hard times in each another, but were ultimately only involved for a couple of weeks at most, & I'm tired of pretending that it's any deeper than that

[as8bakwthesage]

“Oh bUt TfA BuMbLeBeE iS iN tHe MilItArY” logic doesn’t apply when in the US, there have been countless cases of minors joining the military in history. Child soldiers exist outside of the USA and Autobot society isn’t exactly healthy about its militarisation. Autobots literally take young bots in order to put them into military training first and foremost.

You cannot tell me that child soldiers don’t exist, you fucking morons.

Non-Hazbin Hotel characters that are better than Alastor: The Finale

NOTE: I got more characters on the list for the finale!

Oh he's toast, he's very toast!

We're 10 days away before Christmas starts and I schedule a post on that day. Can't tell you what it is because it will spoil the surprise.

That is the end of the Non-Hazbin Hotel characters that are better than Alastor trilogy.

Rogue One/Sequel Trilogy Salt

'A New Hope' is the story of a boy who grows up in a tranquil home and dreams of joining a war. What if we have the story of a girl who grows up in a war and dreams of returning to the tranquillity of home?

Gareth Edwards

This quote is evidence that Jyn Erso was written to be a foil to Luke Skywalker. Before Rogue One came out, I and a bunch of other fans were speculating Jyn to be Luke's wife and Rey's mom (due to the resemblance to Rey, the speculation about Rey being Luke's daughter, and the parallels between Jyn and Luke (and between Jyn and Mara Jade, Luke's Legends wife, to the point where it seemed like Jyn might become the Disney canon version of Mara)). Even after the film came out, I was still hoping for Jyn to pull a Phil Coulson for that, particularly with that kyber crystal necklace she had.

Years later, after Lucasfilm has mangled up Rey's origins along with the latter two sequels, I haven't completely given up on that idea, but it's been barely on my mind, and I've been torn between that and Jyn's relationship with Cassian Andor. But now, reading that quote has stirred up my feelings towards the former (and from what I've been recently reading about Cassian, he's kind of old for her anyway). It seems like a great opportunity that Lucasfilm has wasted.
