There’s a rumor going around that one can reanimate deceased Stormtroopers by wrapping red tape around their armor. This is a lie. One cannot tape Stormtroopers back together. Any hologram footage saying otherwise is false.

The Night Troopers are only a threat because the studio forbids lopping off limbs Ahsoka, Ezra and Sabine obstinately refuse to use their lightsabers - weapons which in-universe can cut through almost anything - to mutilate these clearly undead soldiers, instead opting for mild slashes and stabs.

AKA, if the lightsaber hadn't been reduced to being a glowing baseball bat our heroes weren't acting like morons, these zombies wouldn't be a threat.

(And a "the magic made them more durable" argument doesn't hold because they were already not cutting any of these troopers to shreds when they were still alive.)

I had a chat with my brother about the fight with the night troopers in ahsoka and he pointed something out to me

It's really stupid how the characters just avoid dismembering and/or decapitating the troopers, because that's how you're supposed to stop zombies, you go for the heads and/or render them immobile

"Ha ha zombie! I slashed you across the chest! What're you gonna do now? OW! FUCK! THEY'RE BITING ME!"

It's pretty obvious that going forward all disposable minion bad guys in SW will have to be droids because disney won't let up on their "no cutting people up" internal rule, because apparently we can't even hack apart the undead, but what's the point of zombies if you can't dismember them without a thought? Zombies remove the ethical concerns of mass slaughtering bad guy minions

Y'know say what you will about it, but Rey and Kylo vs the Praetorian guards actually felt brutal in the way lightsaber combat should be, people got thrown in an electric shredder, the top half of one guy's head was cut off, throats were slit, a lightsaber was shoved into someone's face, and when Rey/Kylo stabbed a guy they really drove the saber in, like rewatch it, you clearly see them putting effort to drive their sabers through the guards

I’ve got some new Ahsoka series earrings in stock for y’all, including WolfWren! More Ahsoka series earrings coming soon, but in the mean time these are available here. 💜💜💜

How is this franchise able to keep making its own version(s) of the undead so damn scary?

I mean seriously, y'all remember those Geonosian zombies from season two of The Clone Wars? Those things traumatized me as a kid!

Thank You Ahsoka final episode for confirming the troopers were actual live people who'd survived a brutal decade in exile and were still choosing to stand and survive. That's so much more interesting than everyone being propped up by magic. It wasn't surprising that we'd see zombie troopers have a fight [and get destroyed because of course that's their fate], but at least they were shown turning into them. And that it wasn't the whole crew - just a core group of volunteers. Which is better than people being forced into such a transformation. Thrawn wouldn't stand for that happening to his people.

Ahsoka episode 8 was the perfect Halloween primer 🧟‍♂️

tumblr avatars - Ahsoka series spoilers

128x128 avatars for tumblr - the individual avatars that you can snag are behind the cut! (Because tumblr's ability to display pictures is ridiculous.)

I might do some blog headers next because I'm in a photopea kind of mood. :D

if i was an exiled stormtrooper held together by dark magic and you were my turtle boyfriend would you hold my decaying body? would you mend my broken armor? would you cry when my grand admiral took me away? would you finally understand the yearning in my eyes when i looked at the distant light of my galaxy? knowing those stars were where i was now? would you know that i returned to my galaxy but never from exile, not without you?
