#Greer Sonnel

Star Wars Pilots Tournament - Round 1B

Who's the better pilot?

Propaganda:

Han Solo:

I mean he did the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs, I mean it’s Han Solo how much propaganda does an iconic character like Han Solo need

Greer Sonnel:

Greer was a racer who developed the disease bloodburn, which causes serious fevers to those who fly out in space and had to end her racing career early. After this she became Leia's personal assistant, flying her places on occasion. when an investigation reveals the First Order and that corruption may well prevent the New Republic from acting to confront them, Greer decides to use her skills to fight for the good of the galaxy even though it'll send her to any early grave with her condition. Her dedication despite knowing it'll cost her life and cause her pain, not because she's backed against a wall but because she believes the cause is worth it and because putting aside flying is taking away part of her, so instead she'll give all she has for the people of the galaxy... she's cool as hell

If they did anything involving stuff from Bloodline, I think I might short-circuit. It was my 1st SW book back in 2016 & has been my go-to book to reread ever since. And I agree, there is a sad lack of content for a lot of characters from this book. I absolutely adore older Leia (as Senator & General of the Resistance, both) & the fact that Senator Casterfo actually survived Bloodline as we learned in my 2nd-favorite SW book, Resistance Reborn, just makes me wish we'd see him in a comic or SOMETHING.

If anyone from Disney is watching, I’d really like Bloodline or Leia, Princess of Alderaan made into an animated series, preferably with the Galaxy of Adventures art style.

My ideas for the voice actors of characters of Bloodline would be:

-Rinnrivin played by Werner Herzog (he’s just creepy enough to be admirable and he’s got that Tarkin on crack vibe)

-Ransolm Casterfo by Peter Serafinowicz (You probably know him as Lord Covington from Parks and Rec. Smart, young, and definitely the sort of dude to geek out over Empire stuff)

-Greer Sonnel by Lauryn McClain (she’d just be mwah *chefs kiss*)

-Lady Carise by Tress MacNeille (Need I say more about the voice legend Tress?)

-Joph Seastriker by Jake Johnson (as close to Poe Dameron as I could get without it flat out being Oscar Isaac).

As for Leia and Han, that’s tricky. I really think Claudia did a good job of voicing her in the audiobook, but perhaps that role might be better suited for Billie Lourd, if she’d want to. Han’s a toss up.

Kylo Ren..and where he came from

Okay, I’ve been reading an  article on how abuse shapes a person...I was reading about Emily Bronte’s infamous anti hero Heathcliff, but here we have some fascinating quotes which could also apply to Kylo.

the hero could be a victim or a perpetrator or both, and how does abuse affect his personality and attitudes towards himself and the society he lives in. Besides, the victim may develop anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder, and may suffer permanent physical or emotional damage and that of course will make a deep scar in the hero’s psyche which will turn him into either an angel or a devil. 

Now, obsessed fans such as those on the JCF, despise those who love Adam’s conflicted ‘villain’ for many reasons, one being they see his unhappy childhood and the subsequent events that caused Ben’s ‘fall’ as ‘demonising’ the OT cast. I have said repeatedly on this site why it doesn’t, so I don’t need to go into detail of why I believe that, but what I want to explore here is how their very human mistakes led to their son/nephew being essentially driven into the arms of a predator who had been waiting in the wings since his birth.

This is one interesting comment (statement by the WHO in 1999):

Child abuse or maltreatment constitutes all forms of physical and/or emotional ill treatment, sexual abuse, neglect or negligent treatment or commercial or other exploitation, resulting in actual or potential harm to the child’s health, survival, development or dignity in the context of a relationship of responsibility, trust or power.

Han, Leia and Luke never physically abused Ben. But the above article states that abuse isn’t always physical or sexual. It can be psychological. And sadly, Ben suffered more than a hint of psychological abuse from his family. The TLJ novelisation mentions how he overheard his parents talking about his ‘potential’ for darkness. Han himself said there was always ‘too much Vader’ in him. Leia chose her career as an escape from her worries, Han spent his time enjoying himself on the Falcon; both spent far too much time with Poe Dameron, or Greer Sonnel, whilst ignoring his own child. And as we all know...he was sent to train with Luke at a very young age, despite having no choice in the matter.

Snoke naturally fed his insecurities about whether or not his family wanted him - and Luke’s fatal mistake the night the temple burned was what truly sealed Ben’s fate. He fled to Snoke who had cultivated his need for a ‘father figure’, and as we saw both in TLJ and the Kylo Ren stand alone comic, Snoke was physically abusive to him, as well as psychological.

Snoke turned Ben to the dark side, but his family set him upon that path, by allowing the scars of their experience with Vader to affect how they saw their child and nephew. Ironically TROS, which tried to satisfy obsessive OT character fans, only made them seem ten times worse than TFA and TROS...instead of coming across as damaged humans who loved their child and nephew but were scarred by their past, TROS made both Luke AND Leia into unfeeling icons rather than human beings, who happily accepted yet another unfeeling icon as a replacement for their broken damaged ‘blood heir’. Ben never enjoyed what Rey did, a blessing from Luke and lots of hugs plus one on one training from his mother. 

Instead, he was cast aside, ignored and forgotten, having to rely on a made up memory of his father to ‘do the right thing’ and save the ‘more important’ person - the girl his family had chosen as his substitute and almost killed him.

Ultimately, like Bronte’s Heathcliff, Ben Solo never stood a chance. Like Heathcliff, there could be no happy ending for him.

 He was unwanted from the very beginning.

Bloodline | Claudia Gray | 2016 | Disney Canon

Part 48

Greer said, “We’re ready to do whatever you need done, Your Highness. If you’re planning on—on leaving Hosnian Prime, maybe traveling to rendezvous with Captain Solo in the Theron system, just say the word.”

[fortes-fortuna-iogurtum]

really don’t know WHY there isn’t more Joph/Greer fic on ao3, like they’re both such great characters literally begging to be written more often and yet there’s still only 5 works in their tag

[elise-nic]

Why does everyone think that Poe has a family history of Bloodburn? The only character I know who was diagnosed with it was Greer Sonnel who is of no relation to Poe. Do people think she's his mother because those time lines super don't match up.

Also I checked and Greer Sonnel is the only one whose listed on the wookiepedia as having had blood burn.

Personally, I love Greer Sonnel from Bloodline, and I’d love to see her have a film cameo in EPIX.

Fun fact, "One Less Day" by Rob Thomas makes me think of Greer Sonnel that is all
