#Star Wars and...

What do you think Qui-Gon thought of Satine?

Hmmm... I think he thought of her as idealistic, given the fact Satine's father was a warlord and she was a Mandalorian pressing for peace. Mandalore hadn't seen peace in decades, and definitely in no one's lifetime (maybe Yoda's, but doubtful). Probably didn't agree with her political views for the most part, as he's seen the absolute best and worst of humanity over his five decades at that point.

But I think he probably enjoyed her banter and quick wit, and her ability to keep Obi-Wan from being a total hoe hothead.

I imagine that the times the trio were together, they probably discussed their respective cultures a ton. I can definitely see Satine being a history nerd - I mean canonically, she was studying on Coruscant when the civil war broke out on Mandalore (I don't have the exact source off the top of my head, someone help!) I personally think it's extremely important to have multiple perspectives of history, especially for a politician.

Jedi and Mandalorians have a long, intertwined history and I could see the trio overall really challenging each other's beliefs about their respective cultures. We already see that Satine is more than happy to share her voice, and that definitely came from an early age.

Sidenote - for Obi-Wan and Satine to develop the relationship they did, I believe that Qui-Gon was often gone for long periods of time during the Year on the Run, perhaps gathering allies or infiltrating various political factions, etc.

I didn’t do the cosplay just for the meme….

Flying to Italy and finding the exact field to recreate the picnic scene was pretty amazing. The costume took me a month to make 😮‍💨 it was so nice to shoot it in THE field!!

Edit: thank you guys SO MUCH for all the love on this cosplay! If you’d like to donate to support future cosplays, I’ve created a ko-fi account here! 💖 donate

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.

U can watch Star Wars so many times and it doesn’t prepare u for how dumb Star Wars is. For one thing I think we gloss over how kenobi (who has definitely been at the club. Please.) describes the mos eisley cantina as the worst most villainous place ever and then u get inside and it’s a pack of muppets vaping

what if instead of being under the impression that Darth Vader killed his father someone told Luke that Vader killed his mother and then Luke hit him w that accusation in the middle of their confrontation and Vader just started crying

Watching Star Wars was a mistake. For years I’ve derived so much pleasure from seeing discourse on my timeline that’s like “it’s actually a pretty good writing choice that Glimbo Knutts manipulated the imbledimbians in the force to make Darth Freeble his personal jedi froogler. It gives the original trilogy more depth” and not knowing what the fuck anybody is talking about. But now I do and it’s ruined. I understand what you freak ass dorks are saying and it isn’t fun anymore. Glimbo Knutts making Darth Freeble his jedi froogler DOES give the original trilogy more depth. This sucks man
