Reading SKYWALKER: A FAMILY AT WAR, and honestly, we gotta give kudos to Kristin Baver. This very impressively tied many threads together, and makes the oftentimes chaotic, sloppy writing of all these movies/ancillary media feel like a sensible, profound and internally consistent epic narrative. That shit is HARD. Good job, girl.

Now, yes, this is a book based on the Disney canon, and thus reflects the Filoni-fied Star Wars... but again, with Baver's writing, somehow it all makes a lot of sense, and I can't deny that when laid out like this... the modern reinterpretation of Lucas' films tells a compelling alternate story.

It makes me think about how, like I've said before, I don't think Filoni-fied Star Wars is actually 'bad.' That interpretation of the story works very well as a different perspective on the saga. But it's not at all compatible with how George actually intended it, and it just rankles every single time that modern Lucasfilm trots out the 'we love George soooooo much and we're honoring his vision' PR line with these modern stories that are trying to sneakily rewrite history, to change the context of the first six episodes to cater to popular hot takes.

Got my hands on Kristin Baver’s newly published Star Wars 100 Objects and, oh boy, am I going to have fun with this! The last line of the first paragraph here for the entry on Padme’s wedding veil suggesting how they might have officially registered their marriage is so intriguing!

Got a great new book today, Star Wars: 100 Objects by Kristin Baver, and there was even a page about Nemik’s manifesto!

Here’s what the book had to say, some of which I believe is new information:

“Saw Gerrera is often considered the first leader of the Rebel cause. Before the fall of the Republic, this violent Onderonian extremist rose up against his homeworld's government, who had joined the Separatist faction. Yet he was not the true architect of the Rebel Alliance, which involved unifying many factions fighting for the same goal under one banner.

That position may be said to belong to a young idealist named Karis Nemik who, in the pages of what would effectively become the Rebel manifesto, set down his thoughts on the oppressive Imperial machine.

It remains one of the precious few documents that guided and helped to motivate scattered rebel cells during the early days of the Alliance.

‘The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it," Nemik wrote. "That is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine.’ The manifesto is effectively a blueprint for dismantling Palatine's Empire.

After making the acquaintance of a mysterious mercenary named Clem, Nemik came to believe that hired guns might play an important part in a plot to overthrow the Emperor. ‘Weapons are tools; those that use them are by extension functional assets that we must use to our best advantage,’ he wrote.

‘The Empire has no moral boundaries. Why should we not take hold of every chance we can? Let them see how an insurgency adapts.’

Sometimes referred to as The Trail of Political Consciousness, Nemik's untitled work exemplifies the intellectual climate that fostered the Rebel revolt to restore democracy. The manifesto espoused freedom, independence, and justice. It is also credited with helping to inspire Cassian Andor to join the growing unrest. Without Nemik's writings, Andor might never have gone on to work on the frontlines of the turmoil. He became a crucial member of Rebel intelligence, an adept spy dedicated to the Alliance and willing to sacrifice his life for freedom.”

we really don’t give the disney star wars books enough credit.

padme and sabe? super sapphic now. you love to see it.

ahsoka? e.k. says here, have some demisexual rep. as a treat. also, girls.

obi wan? padawan giving us textbook asexuality, right down to the sheer ?????? panic every ace has while they try to figure out if they like everyone or no one or just very certain people under very certain circumstances and obi did this without crying which honestly makes him better than me.

and then you got claudia gray and kristin baver just out here declaring the jedi aren’t allowed to bone at all. seriously. leave room for the force. the myth of consensual jedi sex. except for you, rael averross, you’re doing amazing sweetie.

The Art of Star Wars: The High Republic (Volume II) 

[bonnettsbooks]

9/21/23 Open 6-9p. No open containers, please.

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."

I can't help but wonder what tale was told by Huyang in 'Ahsoka' episode 6, but the cue surely sent viewers of a certain age right back to 1977.

Kristin Baver's "Skywalker–A Family at War" (2021) is a sort of biography or history book chronicling the iconic "Star Wars" family. Study. There may be a test.
