Seduced to the Dark Side

The word 'seduce' was always so jarring in the original Star Wars trilogy. My siblings and I used to laugh our heads off imagining Palpatine slowly raising his black robes to expose his pale boney ankle Victorian Lady-styles and this being what convinces Vader to join him.

The Acolyte doesn't ever use the word 'seduce'. Osha says, "That's the path to the dark side". It's Star Wars canon now that they had to start describing it as 'seduced to the dark side' because of Osha and Qimir

I LOVE the fact that Osha and Qimir have haunted the narrative for THOUSANDS of years, causing the Jedi in 9+ movies/shows to be like « Careful, a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away a bad guy got the girl by tilting his head and speaking softly and making her soup and telling her it was okay to have feelings. He even went swimming...(lowers voice to a whisper) naked. Be afraid, be very afraid. Try to resist »

#Disney can cancel the show but they can't stop me from thinking about Osha and Qimir EVERY TIME someone in previous SW content says seduced #Oshamir lives on #the acolyte #renew the acolyte #star wars #osha x qimir #osha and qimir #oshamir #osha aniseya #qimir the stranger #a long long time #in a galaxy far far away #be afraid #be very afraid

Once upon a time

Everyone knows once upon a time, but did you know that countless cultures have their variation of how classic stories begin, and one one from Welsh is, "A long time ago," similar to a few others from other cultures that go, "A long long time ago."

But, some, like Lithuanian go: "Beyond nine seas, beyond nine lagoons," similar to the Czech, "Beyond seven mountain ranges, beyond seven rivers."

These are some variations from Arab texts: This happened or maybe it did not. The time is long past and much is forgot.

There was or there was not—is anything sure or certain but the greatness of Allah?—a king so powerful that man and Djinn bowed before him.

This is how many Hausa tales are begun “A story, a story. Let it go, let it come.”

And of course, we have one that is a combination and modern invention that has become part of media culture and storied greatness: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." <3

These are just some. But it's been among the most wonderful part of my research before I began putting down the first words for Tales of Tremaine. But the art of storytelling is one of the most human things there is. It's central to us, and it has passed long and far by tongue and time over lands and through cultures. Some beginnings are so similar to each other, some not so much.

But then you see the threads between them in the stories, the themes, tropes, archetypes, motifs. But the traditions span the world. They are old. They are cool. And they are beautiful.

And storytelling is one of the gifts that connects us all, like music, and other arts.
