Alderaan Seconds the Motion for a Vote of No Confidence in Chancellor Valorum

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace - Deleted Scene: Bail Organa of Alderaan 00:14
And just for fun, here's an edit of the previous shot, with the bluescreen background replaced with the Senate (and a hovercam droid thrown in).
Tumblr media
Bronze Age Star Wars (Ted) pointed out on Twitter that in the 2nd issue of the original 1977 Marvel adaptation of A New Hope, Princess Leia names her father "Bail Antilles" adding further confusion to this character's name and role. When Jimmy Smits was cast as Bail Organa in Episode II, the issue was finally laid to rest.

based off of this post, I now wanna write an au where Satine lives and joins the rebellion and Obi-Wan spends a decade or so wishing he could join the rebellion, but instead he has to stay in hiding and watch over Luke.
But then Satine sends a transmission that she needs his help, and she uses R2-D2 to do so because she knows it's a droid Obi-Wan would be familiar with, and Obi-Wan is not sure if he can leave Luke. He goes to check on Luke only to find that! Oh no! The Empire found his aunt and uncle and burned their house down! Fortunately, fourteen-year-old Luke was at Toche's station picking up power converters, so he didn't get destroyed with his aunt and uncle.
Obi-Wan then decides that Tatooine isn't safe for himself and Luke, so they join the Rebellion together.
The A plot of this fic would then be Obi-Wan Kenobi and Duchess Satine Kryze Actually Have a Chance At A Relationship And It's The Entire Rebellion's Favorite Point Of Gossip.
The B plot? Luke Skywalker being fourteen whole years old and becoming friends with Leia and Ezra and Sabine and later Wedge Antilles and the Shenanigans they get into, with Obi-Wan spending all his spare time trying to keep Luke from realizing he and Leia and Darth Vader are related.

Luke and Mara’s relationship is SO FUNNY. Literally everyone else is like: “What are you doing? Why are you concerned? Luke, she threatens to kill you every time you speak with each other, please-“
I love the Luke was so concerned when he sensed that Mara’s ship lost power in the second book. Han describes it as Luke acting like Mara is his best friend rather than the woman who has repeatedly threatened him with murder. And after it’s all over, he does save her! He gets them to pick her up and they take her to Coruscant to heal and none of that would have happened without Luke’s influence.
Luke is so fond of Mara, despite having met her all of three months ago. All of their interactions involve murder threats and dangerous situations, literally none of them have been postive interactions, but Luke is so pleased to see her! Just! All the time!
Luke agrees to break Karrde off of Thrawn’s ship because Mara asks (no further requesting necessary). Luke breaks Mara out of her house arrest on Coruscant because he wants her to go to Wayland with them. Luke defends Mara constantly whenever Han (very reasonably) questions whether or not they should trust her. Han and Mara and Luke himself all ask “What if this ends in Luke’s death?” and Luke’s answer is always “¯\ _(ツ)_/¯ Guess I’ll die then.”
(Luke is basically like “If I die, I die. The Force wills it.” I think he and Qui-Gon were soulmates-)
I like that Luke finds out about Mara’s past in the first book but only ever brings it up in the third. And Han is like “She was the EMPEROR’S HAND, and you didn’t think that was worth mentioning???” and Luke just: “The past is in the past.”
Leia and Mara also have a fun relationship though. Leia speaks to Mara for the first time and Mara, right as Leia is leaving, is like “I’m going to kill your brother. Did he tell you that?” and Leia just: “No, he didn’t mention that. May I ask why?”
Leia consistently is like “Well. Luke trusts this person. I trust her too.” Which is almost exactly like Wedge “Luke vouched for them so I trust them with my life” Antilles.
Leia 🤝 Wedge
“If Luke trusts them, I trust them.”
Leia is always like “I know you’ve said you want to kill my brother. But, from what he’s said, you had a lot of opportunities to kill him. And he’s still alive. Are you sure you want to kill him?”
And Mara is just like: “Shut up.”
Han is the only one who is like “I don’t think we should trust this person who wants to kill Luke” and Luke is always like “Why not?”
But really what gets me is the final scene SPOILERS when Luke gives Mara Anakin’s lightsaber. And I know Mara thinks it’s him not-so-subtly telling her that they can both move on from the past, but all I can see it as is Luke seeing Mara like he saw Anakin. He sees them both enslaved to the Emperor and brainwashed and hurting and he ultimately saves both of them. But, Anakin never got to use his lightsaber again, after he came back to the light. So, giving it to Mara, who was in a very similar situation as Vader was, is such a good way to honour Anakin’s memory and every time I think about it - two people manipulated by Palpatine who find their way back after years and years of abuse, both using the same lightsaber at opposite ends of their life - I kind of want to cry.
And maybe I’m looking too deeply into it, but I love this scene. I love Mara asking why Luke is giving it to her and Luke saying “I want you to have it.” I love Anakin’s lightsaber finally being used in the light again, I love it I love it I love it- I’m crying again

Hey, so if you had to choose between madagascar boas, cave dwelling rat snakes, or anthill pythons to keep as a pet what would you pick? Ive been trying to narrow down what snake i want next and i can't narrow it down anymore, so basically im asking you to help pick lol
I actually have an antill python (her name is Myndie) and especially if you've never had the pleasure of owning an Antaresia python before, I totally lean in that direction. Anthill pythons are really fun and spunky and so fun to watch! My Myndie is always on the move and doing something. Honestly can't recommend them enough, especially if you like snakes who are active and easy to handle.
Ground boas are cool, and cave dwelling ratsnakes are so beautiful, but anthill pythons hold a special place in my heart and everyone I know who owns one absolutely adores them. Ground boas are great and cave dwelling ratsnakes are beautiful, but the ground boa will eat you out of house and home (not necessarily a bad thing) and beauty ratsnakes have a lot of attitude (still awesome snakes). This post is me doing my part for the "popularizing Antaresia pythons for non-Australian keepers" gang.

ik i said furry au but honestly i was thinking just straight up critters
i went for mostly canines because that's what i know about lol but i like your non-canine interpretations!
if i'm going a bit more out there wilson is a phiddipus johnsoni jumping spider. i like jumping spiders. they've got personality. they waggle their arms at you. phiddipus johnsoni has teal arms and a red booty but it's not dangerous and jumping spiders on the whole tend to be friendly to people. house would be a noble false widow- looks like a brown widow but is not nearly as dangerous (not pleasant but apart from bacteria risk, not going to kill you, kinda like a bee or a wasp sting if you're not allergic), because he actually is a decent person underneath all the cruel bastard facade. chase is a peacock spider! they're a type of jumping spider like phiddipus johnsoni but they're of a different genus (they're maratus volans) and they're really funky looking and they dance and they're australian. i think all of those are chase. thirteen is a striped lynx spider- they're similar to her in coloration and they've got spiky pedipalps on their legs! they look fearsome but to humans they pose little threat (the bite hurts but you'll be fine). foreman is some form of spider in the family trachelidae. they're kinda normal and if they bite you it'll hurt but nothing will happen and some of them have dapper markings just like foreman. cameron is an antilles pinktoe tarantula. really pretty. they're known to be shy but they also can throw their hair at you if they want to. so watch out. taub is a micropholcus fauroti (daddy long legs) because i think it's funny to have a him be a long-legged spider. cuddy is a black widow because i would be scared of her if i knew her in real life but she is so gorgeous. aaaaaand masters is a joro spider. they're very beautiful (vibrant blue and yellow bodies with black and orange legs) and very large (about palm-sized) but not dangerous and they're very docile.
i like bugs
-🎸
there are bugs indeed

caught up
Ha so i managed to watch all the episodes of the new Witcher season this weekend, so now i can -- let's be real I wasn't avoiding spoilers before, but like, I've read the books right, it's like, there's only so much they can do to surprise me. (below discussion is not in-depth or spoilery, more general and I don't have a ton of time so not meant to be anything profound)
I see they've taken Cahir's character in a delicious other direction-- book!Cahir is a dutiful young fanatic whose youth and relative inexperience is kind of critical to his character (and kind of parallels Ciri's contemporary journey, as she goes from being an idealistic child through all the things she goes through, he also is humbled and shamed and loses his idealism and his fanaticism gets a layer of tarnished desperation and then he finds his humanity etc-- chefkiss), but the Netflix version is an older, more deeply-committed fanatic, more intimately and personally tied to the ruler he serves so faithfully. They've also done some worldbuilding for Emhyr's missing years that I think is very interesting. It's funny, Cahir's actor is too old (but a great actor), and Emhyr's is too young, they've tried to age him up but he's like. Well he's like thirty. It hits weird. But, television, that's how television is.
I was using my sister's television since i had the house to myself, and could not figure out how to get subtitles on, so any of the lines that were whisper-growled-- that is to say almost all of them-- were largely unintelligible to me. But many of the ones I could make out were also just-- word salad, pretty things strung together for the vibe, so I don't feel like I missed out. You just had to get the gist, and sometimes it was an incredibly impactful book line that they crammed in there kind of unearned, but if you recognized it you could imbue it with the correct meaning yourself. This is not really a criticism. The whole thing was so rushed because they had to cover like 20 episodes' worth of material in eight, so it was just cruising on vibes and did so I think admirably, conveying a lot of worldbuilding complexity without having really a moment to get into it, and shorthanding character development in snappy one-liners that were pretty effective if you just. Suspended disbelief about literally any kind of logistics.
I did like some of the details they did choose to give us. Cool themes with Ciri, which I think convey the entire message of the book extremely well. And like-- when she's exposed to a bunch of sunlight, they showed her suffering with sunburn. That's a great grounding little bit of detail, even if it went away by the next scene because there wasn't time-- such a good detail, really eloquently conveyed by the framing and the actress and the props.
It's like.... an incredibly abbreviated art form, where they're doing grand gestures of vibes to get the story across.
Absolutely perfect for fanfic, LOL. There's really no well thought out detail to contradict so you've got a largely blank canvas. I also have deep regret that I don't think I can retcon my fic Keira into the Keira from Netflix who was both hot and had like, the perfect earthy practical personality, fuck she's good. Relatedly I loved the detail of how in the books Margarita Laux-Antilles was described as the most beautiful women in the world, and they cast a fat Black woman to play her, an absolutely gorgeous fat Black woman, and there in every scene of the sorceresses being beautiful were several fat women being beautiful too. It's something, ok.
I kept being like "omg woman hot" as i was watching, which was funny. I was by myself though, so it was fine, no one was there to witness my incoherence except the discord channels i kept typing into the wrong ones of.
one tiny sort of spoilery bit: i loved the delicious scene with Ciri confronting Cahir, but it was so rushed it was awkward, instead of showing us much they just had to have Cahir say it, and it was-- well the vibes were fucking delicious, but the execution kind of clumsy. But as I don't plan to rewatch, have zero fear that in my head I will rebuild this myself into something absolutely fucking perfect and id-tastic. Alas that we lost the book vibe where she clearly hadn't really realized he was a person until she knocked his helmet off and saw his stupefyingly blue eyes etc., and his terror and such, but i'm just gonna go ahead and fold that back in there in my mental recreation of it, don't worry. LOL if it worked for you as shot I Do Not Blame You.
oh also i'm in love with Philippa and now i feel bad i was so careless with her in my fic. Maybe I need to give her a bit more depth. I used her game characterization, I admit it, and Netflix did so well by her I'm sort of ashamed I didn't think of her like that.

OC Introduction - Isla Tinero-Antilles
Tumblr media
MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU, DAY ONE: I'm One with the Force, and the Force is with Me
Taking to the skies to fly into battle with resistance fighters, wielding a lightsaber to avenge a friend that been harmed, or breaking an oath to protect those who can't protect themselves; May fourth is a day to honor the light side characters who can and cannot utilize the Force. Highlight their journey(s), their role(s) in the grand scheme of things, the impact(s) they've created on themselves and everyone around them, etc.
Born in 6BBY to Wedge Antilles and Mala Tinero, Isla's life was marred by tragedy from a young age when her mother, maternal grandfather, and several other relatives were killed by the Empire, Isla herself only surviving because Mala managed to hide her in an underground safe house. Nonetheless it was still twelve hours before anyone found her as they had to dig through the rubble to get to her, - this incident served as the final catalyst for Wedge to join the Rebellion, taking his daughter with him, though for her own safety she ended up smuggled to an Outer Rim world while he fought for the Alliance.
As a result, Isla didn't see much of her father, but she supported the Rebellion and was always frustrated that she couldn't do more to help, though she was determined that once she became a teenager she would find a way to help. But thankfully the main fighting ended before this and Isla rejoiced when the second Death Star was destroyed and the Emperor killed and she was able to reunite with her dad, and after the treaty was signed, she and Wedge settled on Hosnian Prime, and she was able to enjoy peace for the first time in her life. But she was still unsettled, the Corellian wanderlust still very much present, and she wanted to go out and explore the galaxy any way she could - eventually, years later, following in her father's footsteps and becoming a pilot, though she had no plans to become a fighter, instead just wanting to see the universe for herself.
This all changed when the First Order started making waves - although the New Republic didn't consider them a threat, Isla knew this could escalate, and signed up to join the Defense Fleet. A few years later tragedy struck her life again when Ben Solo turned Dark and slaughtered most of Luke Skywalker's Jedi students, and Mara, Nellith, and Reyana - people Isla knew and loved, people she considered family - were apparently killed as well. It was clear that the First Order was far more dangerous than anyone had realised and Isla - incensed at the lack of action from the New Republic - became part of the Resistance alongside her stepbrother Temmin Wexley, and by 34BBY holds the rank of Commander, having led multiple missions against the rising tyranny in the galaxy.
But the biggest threat is yet to come - and it won't be long before Isla comes face to face with the ghosts of her past...

What animals do you have all in all?
A 5ft leucitic ball python, two Mediterranean house geckos I caught at the place I work, 13(?) blue feigning death beetles, an Asian forest scorpion, a Brazilian jewel, an Antilles pinktoe, a Brazilian black, a Trinidad dwarf, a pink zebra, Chilean flame, Chilean rose, an Arizona blonde, and a curly hair tarantula— a Turkish velvet spider, uhh. I think that’s it? I had a wild bunny for a very short period of time but it passed away despite my best efforts. They’re hard to raise bc of their dietary needs, and even with rabbit milk and cecotropes and seeming to thrive it just died one night. And that’s it! For now…

VERSES UPDATE: 2/?
HIGH / OLD REPUBLIC ERA : Shadows Reach.
what is it?
a verse taking where Obi-Wan is a Shadow during the High Republic or any time before
Obi-Wan Kenobi is an unknown figure to the public and an only slightly lesser unknown to the Jedi Order itself. His padawanship started very early at the age of eight and the majority of it was spent in the far reaches of the galaxy. Obi-Wan had a very traditional teacher who taught him Jedi have no place in the political heart of the government and was thusly raised in rural communities and undeveloped/developing planets. This background makes him very attuned to the Living Force and he is an expert working with plant life and establishing connections with various animals. During his senior padawan years, it became clear Obi-Wan was not at the best at interacting with strangers (or even his fellow Jedi) due to his isolated upbringing and instead of learning to socialize like a normal person, he uses his strong connection to the Living Force to pick up emotional cues and states of mind to cheat his way through conversations. It makes him a fairly good negotiator, but far from the best people-person the Jedi have to offer. Obi-Wan holds a strange position and he is something between a Jedi Shadow, a Finder, and a Wayseeker. His combination of reading people and being an unknown individual makes him a perfect candidate for infiltration and spy assignments. For the most part, he creates his own work and stops trouble whereever he finds it. The Jedi Order considers him to be a secret weapon and don't like pointing him at people lest they have to. He has several established aliases, but his two most notable are a bounty hunter and a member of one of Stewjon's noble families. His bounty hunter alias is Ginger and no one has ever seen his face. As Ginger was his first alias, he is the most flushed out and has the longest and most traceable background. Ginger was born out of a necessity to gain credibility among different groups and to handle more unsavory jobs that he doesn't want traced back to the Jedi. His second alias has no false name. He is Obi-Wan Kenobi, the second born son to the House of Kenobi on the planet Stewjon. Legally, he is married and has a spouse, but they rarely interact and each keep separate lives. Obi-Wan's spouse actually has a different spouse of their own (though the marriage is kept secret so no one thinks it's an affair) and Obi-Wan only returns to Stewjon when a job requires it. Obi-Wan still spends most of his time in the outer rim, dressed more like a spacer than a Jedi, and usually acts on his own. His lifestyle is not conducive to raising a padawan, but he still has a soft spot for younglings and would consider taking one if the time was right.
tldr: Wobi is a Jedi Super Spy who operates in the outer rim/wild space. He doesn't have a padawan because his work is often too dangerous and he has the galaxy's shadiest connections possible.
when will i be using it?
for high republic muses
or pre high republic muses
more notes:
he wears black and gold, it's very goth
a lot of people have no idea he's a jedi, including other jedi
he's kind of like a proto jon antilles
he likes joking about being married
