#lando calrissian one shot

ST5 POTENTIAL SPOILERS!!!

GUYS I FOUND THIS ON REDDIT AND ACTUALLY IT'S QUITE INTERESTING

ST5 Leaks/Fleaks

Gen Plot

Season picks up briefly where we left off in 1986 before jumping into either late 1987 or early 1988. The season is contained entirely in apocalyptic Hawkins. Things with the government are shaky. Owens doesn't appear in the beginning of the season and it's unclear if he's returning, but Ellen Stinson is the new Owens. Hawkins is like a combination of the UD and Kamchatka.

Labyrinths/Mazes being important to both the supernatural plot and the interpersonal relationships. They're inherently linked.

Two songs to be featured are 'Listen to Your Heart' and 'Alone,' both of which were apparently foreshadowed in a previous conversation between Hopper and Joyce, similar to how Hopper's "I'm the puppet, you're the master" to Joyce in S3 basically foreshadowed Eddie's 'Master of Puppets' in S4.

S1 and 2 scenes being referenced are "Nancy and Mike's conversation in the bathtub" and "Hopper + Lando Calrissian"

Lots of importance in COLOR CODING and blocking from the final shot of S4, and a good chunk is told in the costuming—like passing the torch from one character to another as their arcs overlap. For example, Hopper and Will share the "am I the curse and therefore putting my loved ones at risk by being near them?" sentiment for S5, therefore their wardrobe in the final shot of S4 is similar. Joyce/Jonathan and Nancy/Mike's costuming also similar for the same reason, whereas Eleven stands out because she's the first one coming into her own this season. The white for her represents shedding of false skins.

Character duos this season will be primarily dressed in colors of blue/green and yellow/red.

There's lots of symbolism and foreshadowing for every character in S5 from the moment Will touches his neck in the last sequence of S4.

S4 focused on themes of lies and miscommunication, and everyone is going to have to work through these lies before they can defeat Vecna.

Murray and Argyle are both back. Dimitri and Yuri don't seem to be in the beginning of the season.

One thing left unresolved with the Russian plot. Something important will happen involving the machine and the green liquid from the Starcourt bunker. Reference of Dustin vowing to die with Steve when they initially discovered it.

Hopper, Joyce, Mike, Will, and El had to be away from Hawkins, otherwise Vecna wouldn't have won.

An important death that they're nervous about given the reception to Eddie (not Joyce or Jonathan—see details below).

Eleven

We'll see her unlike we've seen her before. A badass who doesn't take shit from anyone. Not a Monster, not a Hero, Jane. Think: adult El could be headed for a Charles Xavier type role.

Erica, Lucas, and El will share scenes together.

El has significant blocking and development with many characters this season.

Max, Eleven & Max

The "kaleidoscope of colors" from a script the writers posted makes a feature in both the scene where young El remembers her mother's love in order to defeat Henry in the lab, as well as the scene where El revives Max. This is significant because it's the first time we see El using her powers on someone in a non-violent way.

El was able to revive Max because of she, herself, being revived in the bunker by Brenner and Co. It's a show, don't tell moment from the writers.

Max getting Vecna'd was foreshadowed in the beginning of 2x01.

Will, Henry/Vecna, The UD

Filming was supposed to commence mid-June, but Noah and Jamie were set to begin in May due to more complicated costuming. Will is going to require heavy prosthetics at some point.

Will's character design is blocked in three stages. The more the UD bleeds into Hawkins, the more connected to it he feels. The gates being open will physically influence him, especially when he's not as mentally strong.

He's kind of like "the card up Vecna's sleeve."

It appears they want to confuse the audience about Will.

Will wrestling with his own morality

Henry/Will mirrors. Will will sympathize with Henry because, unlike El, he knows how and what Henry thinks, and he can feel him.

Vecna and Will are very similar, but the difference is Will is made stronger by love not hate. They will play into that duality.

Vecna was nerfed in S4 compared to how we see him in S5. He'll be much stronger.

At the beginning, he'll be taking a hiatus while he plans how to divide and conquer now that everyone's back together in Hawkins.

Soteria will be the key to saving Will. If they want Will to be untraceable to Henry, they'll have to insert it into his neck and it'll be painful. Vecna not having access to Will fucks up his ability to leave the UD.

Byler/Mileven Triangle

Apparently, it's complicated and up in the air as of now.

Mike dealing with guilt this season. He feels guilty/responsibility for El. He feels stuck in a loop that keeps him from a truth he's scared to face.

Will and Mike to spend a good chunk of the season together based on character designs and blocking.

Will telling El that Mike won't like being lied to comes back with the painting. During a pre-time jump scene in 5x01, while everyone's together plotting how to defeat Vecna and brainstorming how to save Max, Mike brings up the painting El commissioned for a D&D analogy. Will has to pull Mike aside and confess he lied about El commissioning the painting. Mike gets angry, because he doesn't know about Will's feelings and feels embarrassed that Will thought he was that pathetic he needed to be given a pep talk. Their own version of a "fight you can't come back from." Immediately after their fight, we get the time skip.

Mike's character motivations are unclear and seem to be kept under wraps. After the time jump, he and El won't be talking as much because he's keeping the details about Will's painting from her. She's gonna ask what's wrong between him and Will, and he lies/is very vague.

Joyce, Hopper, Jopper

Joyce feels immense guilt/responsible over Bob's death since she's the one that asked him to help in S2, which is why she pushed Hopper away at first.

Hopper has a secret from S1 that was never addressed, and it comes back to haunt him.

Joyce sustains an injury in S5 that is reminiscent of the way someone was injured in S3, but it isn't critical and she'll be okay.

Jopper are the most established couple after the time jump. Lots of bickering still, but Hopper trusts Joyce more than he ever has.

Jonathan, Nancy, Jancy

So far, does not seem like a breakup is happening.

Jonathan's still lying about the college letter and distant because of it, and Nancy thinks he's not as into the relationship and that there might be someone else. She confronts him, which leads to a talk. She's touched by the lengths he would go to try and protect her and any of their future children even from himself.

A moment where we're led to believe Jonathan dies but doesn't, like Hopper in S3.

Hopper-Byers Family

These five characters slowly unraveling their arcs together and have always been closely linked. Their perfect endings are together.

We see the family combining, especially in relation to El.

Joyce gets to witness Hopper being paternal and tender towards the boys.

Scenes with Joyce, Jonathan, and Will

Hopper being back lifts a weight off Jonathan's shoulders.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, now time to shine.

''(...) sentiment for S5, therefore their wardrobe in the final shot of S4 is similar. Joyce/Jonathan and Nancy/Mike's costuming also similar for the same reason, (...)''

Okay. How did we see Nancy in S4? Confused. Confused with the love triangle between Jonathan, her and Steve. Jonathan is her actual boyfriend. And Steve is her posible love interest again.

So, putting this in byler language: Nancy = Mike Jonathan = Eleven Will = Steve

If Mike's and Nancy's character's clothing is important at this point of the time line and that means they feel similar feelings, this could mean that byler has a chance. BUT then we read this: ''(...) He (Mike) feels stuck in a loop that keeps him from a truth he's scared to face.'' And

''Mike's character motivations are unclear and seem to be kept under wraps.''

THIS LITERALLY MEANS BYLER. FOR REAL. Like byler could be endgame. Also, remember Eleven's injury in S3? Do you remember the leak of a shoe covered in blood?

It's Joyce. ALSO YOU CAN READ THAT WE'LL HAVE SCENES BEFORE THE TIME JUMP. And here it comes. Look at this freaking hair:

Does this look more like this

or this?

The season 4 bowl cut right? So maybe this is right in some part? I dont know. But that could make sense why Will is wearing Mike's pants, because his clothes were in California by that moment. But i really do think that the pic that was leaked a few days ago is before the time jump.

Im so late with this info haha :) but i kinda think some things here make sense. Even if this is too well explained to be a leak.

SABEZRA DAY 2024

Prompt: Speaking Love Language/Free

@sabezraweek

*My AU; Ezra looks to communicate his feelings in a way Sabine will instantly understand.  If only his sources of guidance weren’t butting heads.*

“This right?”

“Almost.  It needs a bit more of a curve around…here.”

“That’s exactly where you pointed last time.”

“And it’s not right yet.”

“Why didn’t you say so before?”

“Do you want my help or not?”

“I’m seriously starting to wonder if I do!”

Throwing up his hands, Ezra marched away from the work bench, resisting the urge to smack the other man in the mouth.  He had been working on this for the past week, every second of his precious little spare time dedicated to making it perfect.  When preparing a gift for the woman you love, you naturally feel compelled to make sure it is just that.  On paper, consulting someone familiar with the designs you are tying to replicate would be an ideal situation.

In practice, the fact that the only one available is the brother of the object of your affection, a brother who seems to relish in being as annoying as possible, makes the situation a bit more complicated.

Tristan laughed at Ezra’s dramatic distress.  “If it makes you feel any better, it’s a lot closer than it was when you started.”

“Yeah?” Ezra replied sharply, “Well maybe, next time, get the big details right on correction #1, not #17.”

“I didn’t correct it that many times.”  Tristan protested.

Ezra rolled his eyes.  “Wanna bet?  I’ve been keeping track.”

“What’s all the commotion?”

Turning to the new voice, Ezra saw three men walking into the rec room.  One of them, garbed in a pilot’s fighter jacket, was only familiar to Ezra by reputation.  The other two, a second Mandalorian in blue armor and an officer with a dashing cape across his shoulders, were far better known.

“Hey, Lando, Rau.” Ezra greeted his friends.  He turned to the other two.  “Lt. Janson, right?”

“That’s me, sir.” The pilot responded with a light salute.

“At ease, at ease.”  He turned back to Lando.  “Not much.  Tristan’s just being difficult.”

“For the love of-“

“Relax, Tristan,” Fenn Rau reprimanded the younger Mandalorian.  “You should know better than to be baited by his teasing by now.”  Rau turned to the bench.  “Ah,” he realized, “still working on this little pet project for Sabine?”

“If I meet Master Wren’s exceptional standards,” Ezra flamboyantly gestured to a pouting Tristan, “it should be done soon.”  He held up his work for the others to see.  “What do you guys think?” he asked.

Lando nodded.  “Not bad.  Though I think working on it out here in the open might be risky.  In my experience, the best gifts come with an element of surprise.”

Rau groaned.  “Really, Calrissian?”

“Just giving him some pointers.”

Janson snorted loudly.  “From you?  That’s rich.”

“Like you’re one to talk,” Tristan shot back.  “Wasn’t it that Mirialan on Onderon that you scared off by eight parsecs?”

Janson’s face went red.  “it was one time, Wren, one-“

“Okay, enough.”  Ezra cut in before an argument about Wes Janson’s love life could break out.  “And to answer your question, Lando, don’t worry.  Everyone in this room is sworn to secrecy.”  He turned to the far side to the man in commando fatigues watching a holodrama.  “Isn’t that right, Dameron?”

Dameron paused his show and raised a hand.  “Silent as the grave, Commander!”

Sadly, Ezra’s attempt to avert conflagration were futile.  Janson regained a measure of his flair and turned to the commando.  “Oh,” he said in a slow, sarcastic tone.  “So he rejects our sage advise, but turns to you?”

Dameron got up at the challenge.  “He doesn’t ask anything.  If he did, though, I’d happily offer him tips.”

“Oh, so you’re an expert on romance?”

“Well, considering I’m the only one in this room who’s married, yeah, I’d say I am.”

“So what?  I’d actually be able to-“

“He didn’t want Calrissian’s schmoozing tips,” Rau cut in, “why would he want yours?”

“Schmoozing?” Lando blurted out in mild offense.  “I’ll have you know-“

“Oh, give it a rest.”

“I don’t see you adding anything, Wren.”

“Maybe because I don’t have anything to compensate for.”

“Why you little-!”

Whatever the conversation had turned to was thankfully muffled once Ezra slid the door to the rec room shut.  He considered putting the project on himself for a little extra filtering.

“Romantic advise isn’t that helpful tonight, is it?”

Turning around with a jolt, Ezra instinctively hid his gift behind his back, but relaxed when he saw the Twi’lek standing there.  He let out an exasperated breath.  “You have no idea.”

“You’d be surprised.” Hera grinned.  She turned to look at what Ezra was holding.  “So that’s what you’ve been slipping out to work on.”

Ezra nodded and looked down at it.  “I wanted to do something up her own alley, you know?  Show her how I feel in a way she can understand the best.”

Hera looked at the gift.  “I think it’s beautiful.”  She smiled warmly.  “Sabine’s going to love it.”

“You sure?”

Hera shook her head and placed a hand on his shoulder.  “Positive.  Besides,” she murmured as she walked off, “it’s not like she can’t already read you like a datapad.”

“Huh?”

“You’ll see.”

Ezra just shrugged.

XX

A few hours later, there was a knock on the door to Sabine’s cabin.  Setting her airbrush down, she walked over to answer.  She was greeted by the sight of her smiling boyfriend, who was holding a hastily wrapped mass in his hands.

“Hey.”

“Hey,” she answered brightly.  She gestured to the package.  “What’s that?”

“Let me in and I’ll show you.”

“Hmmm,” Sabine mused, “I don’t know.  Strange men coming to my door bearing unexpected gifts.  I think my mother warned me about such things.”

Ezra’s face warmed a bit.  “Strange? Lady Wren, I must protest.”

Sabine let out a laugh.  “Come on, get in here.”

Regaining his composure, Ezra smiled and strode into Sabine’s quarters, the door closing behind him.  The two sat on her bunk and Ezra passed her the present.

“Go on,” he said.  “Open it.”

Normal, Sabine would have been happy to play hard to get.  Even all these years later, that light teasing they engaged in hadn’t faded away.  Experience often allowed one to see things others would not be able to perceive so easily, and the two of them had a knack for wrapping their earnest remarks in layers of sass, a little puzzle to piece through.  Now though, her curiosity got the better of her.  She quickly tore the flimsi off in one swipe.

Her eyes widened at the sight before her.  It was a shoretrooper helmet, but decidedly non-regulation.  The tan helm was now a vivid magenta, with blue markings along the jowels and orange stripes across the nose.  The forehead was adorned with a pair of purple arches, with a bright green spot right in the middle.  It took only a few seconds for her to recognize the markings.  The Nite-Owl, just as what her own helmet bore.  And looking closer at the blue markings, she saw them clearly.  The jaig eyes, the mark of honor for courage.  A little stylized and not in the traditional place, but jaig eyes all the same.

“Wow,” she said in genuine wonder.  Ezra wasn’t exactly the artist type, yet she could see dedication a parsec away.  He had clearly gone the extra mile to do something in her own style.  Not quite as complex as her own work, but the care he had placed into this was undeniable.  “This is…Ezra this is amazing!”

“Thanks,” he said as he placed a hand behind his head in a bashful look.  “The helmet came from that mission to Valo a couple months back.  I asked Tristan about how to do the symbols right, though the hard part was finding the right shades of paint.”

Sabine’s eyes snapped back to the helmet at that last word.  Paint.  Color.  Ezra wouldn’t have chosen just anything.  Taking a careful look at the gift, she began to unpack what she saw.

In Mandalorian tradition, certain colors held significant meaning.  Many warriors were known to paint their armor with specific colors to represent their chosen undertakings and causes.  While Sabine had never been picky enough to stick to one hue for a mission, she knew the significance of these shades by heart.  She checked off what she saw.

Blue jaig eyes on the sides.  A green center to the Nite Owl.  The orange nose stripes.  The pink and purple base.

Blue, for reliability.  Someone who you could always count on come hell or high water.

Green, for duty.  For a person driven to uphold whatever they believed in and see it through to the end.

Orange, for a lust for life.  Someone who treasured every day, every experience, and everyone they shared it with.

Purple and pink had no explicit meaning to Mandalorians.  But they didn’t need one.  Those colors spoke of something more specific.  Someone more specific.  Someone who considered those colors her personal favorites.  Someone who exemplified all the other colors on the helmet, yet was something all her own.  Someone the creator of this masterpiece loved above all else.

Ezra had been babbling on about his ongoing work for the past minute, but the deep kiss she quickly pulled him into shut him up.  No other words were needed.  He could tell exactly what she was thinking.

[seth-shitposts]

an idea i'm throwing out there for anyone lmao

I'm working on another one-shot atm but i was just thinking and I dont think i've seen something along these lines anywhere? (but if there is a fic or something of this that already exists, i'm begging yall to please throw it my way, i need this in my life)

So we all know how in s1 of rebels with the Lando episode, Kanan and Ezra were being very jealous about Calrissian flirting with Hera and Sabine (and Zeb was very entertained by this). And I would just find it funny if there were something like that, maybe between s3&4, of Lando shamelessly flirting with Kallus (and now both Kanan and Ezra poke fun at Zeb's jealousy). And Zeb gets quite upset over it.

I need this and i need it a thousand different ways please-

[howdidthisevenhappenanyway]

my agenda is to normalise alienfucking in the gffa to the point where it’s just fucking

no one is pure human, so it’s just a case of what kind of weird genitals you have rather than having to worry about people finding it weird that you have horns on your dick from your zabrak ancestor

sex safety is a whole different ballgame (heh), with different prophylactic shields that are adaptable, considering you don’t know who you’ll pick up and what they’re going to have going on down there.

quinlan, as a frequent flier with complex needs due to psychometry has an actual forcefield for his downstairs mixup powered by a kyber crystal (that he keeps in his belly button ring) which also hooks up to his prosthetic dick when he wants to bring that out to play. Obi-Wan prefers the spray on ‘bio shield’, because it’s more subtle to simply carry a canister and refills in his robes and obi, and it doesn’t vibrate weirdly (he is also more sensitive to kyber crystals talking to him, and he does not want to hear kyber chatter during sex).

quinlan fucked mas amedda once but he regretted that decision ever since (he’s hot as sin but at what cost?!)

mij gilamar’s beautiful dead wife (rip) was a wooky

luminara unduli has a queerplatonic relationship with a droid who works in the archives

lando calrissian has fucked han, luke, leia and chewbacca (and max rebo!)

plo koon is considered one of the sexiest jedi and consistently gets asked to pose in calendars, along with oppo rancisis, whose tail has a cult following

this is gffa where the peli motto lifestyle is the norm, if you get what I’m saying. it’s very important to me that you understand

Heyyy~ For the ask game: B D E J R X with the choosen ship of yours <3

mwah <3 also this ask game has made me realise that I don't actually know what rarepairs are in my fandoms LOL but this one is for Han and Lando!

B - What's your favorite thing about this ship?

They simply annoy the ever-living fuck out of each other constantly. Like you can absolutely see them arguing with each other as foreplay, My Cousin Vinny style. They're both that 'scoundrel with a heart of gold' sort of type of character and I simpy love that in a ship.

Also they have history! Such history! And I love when you can have an 'old friend' dynamic like Magneto and Prof X. Also I really need Han to know that Lando's full name is *checks notes* Landonis Balthazar Calrissian. Who did that.

Bickering like an old married couple, constantly tricking each other, the custody arguments over the Falcon are legendary, they bring up so many past misbehaviours to one-up each other, but at the end of the day... they're stealing from each others' hotel rooms and leaving a note signed with a "be better next time <3", and I love that for them.

D- Is this ship an OTP or do you also multiship these characters with other people? If the latter, is it your favorite of the multiships? Why or why not?

I don't ship Lando with anyone else. But alas Han/Lando cannot beat Han/Leia... I simply love Leia too much.

E - Do you have any favorite headcanons for this ship?

Whenever they hook up, they steal the Falcon from each other. It's just an expected thing at this point.

Lando is a snacker and keeps getting crumbs in the bed and Han is ready to stab him every time because food! goes! in! the! kitchen!

They have matching tattoos. Yes they were drunk. No neither of them have ever looked into getting it removed. (They're tramp stamps of the Falcon.)

Lando always brings champagne to their hookups even if he doesn't have any notice. It lowkey annoys Han because where does he even get it from???

They always go to the same hotel and never have use the same name or credit card. The desk staff is all well aware of what's happening and think they're funny.

Han showed up with a beard once and Lando reflexively shot at him.

Han likes flipping poker chips in the air when he's bored. It drives Lando nuts because Han uses the metal chips that are shiny and catch Lando's eye and distract him.

Once they accidentally set a hotel room on fire by knocking over a table with candles on it. They both say the other did it on purpose.

They always go halves on dinner/date costs while snarking at each other the whole time about freeloading and handouts and sugar daddies. They've confused so many waiters.

J - What kind of dynamic(s) does this ship have or do you imagine it would have (friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, slow burn, mutual pining, A fell first B fell harder, etc.)?

Oh this is absolutely enemies to lovers LOL Plus some slow burn, I think... they're snarky and eyefucking but they don't realise it's what they're doing for... a while. Everyone else does, it's fine, and are so deeply annoyed with them. They're both the kind of people who flirt with everyone so it's a while before they realise they're serious about each other and not just angling for a one night stand like they would be with anyone else.

R - Are there any songs you associate with this ship?

Ooh! Yes! For more general vibes, I looove Always Gold by Radical Face. And they said you were the crooked kind / And that you'd never have no worth / But you were always gold to me

Devil's Backbone by The Civil Wars - Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not / He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got

Baby by Bishop Briggs - My baby's misunderstood / How could something so bad look so damn good / Yeah he's still my baby / Yeah he's fuckin' crazy but he's still my baby

After the whole 'sold Han out to Vader' thing, you have the sad love song called Never Love An Anchor. With this heart of mine that's guilty, not remorseful / There is love that doesn't have a place to rest

Minefields by Faouzia & John Legend - Maybe I'm just a fool / I still belong with you / Anywhere you, anywhere you are / These minefields that I walk through / What I risk to be close to you

Also, while not a song, there's a poem with the line: I do not want to see him go up in flames the way all heroes end up martyrs. And hm. Yeah.

X - What are their primary love languages and how do they prefer to express their love for each other?

Is 'annoying each other' a love language? Acts of disservice, perhaps? Jokes aside I think they share gift-giving and words of affirmation and neither of them will admit it. They have an inordinate amount of trinkets, however. Mutual praise kink, woo!

Starring, Lando Calrissian!

Oh god, I don't even know who to tag here... do what you want with this post.

[judgementdaysunshine]

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a one shot for Boba Fett where when he comes back to take over Jabba's place, he finds that the person he was seeing before he fell into the pit, has a daughter? (Adopted or his, whichever you prefer)

Of course! I did detour a bit ♥️

You'll be my foundling

Pairing: Boba Fett x Adopted Daughter Reader

Description: When Boba goes to help the empire gain back Jabba's palace he finds that the woman he fell in love with has a child who he takes under his wing

He never really knew what love was with anyone in a romantic intimate way until he met you who taught him that everyone deserved to have someone with them and to love them for who they are no matter what. The two fell in love and despite Vader warning both of you where it would lead you both defied his words staying with each other and remaining loyal to the empire while you secretly protected and raised your daughter away from the empire without anyone even boba knowing about her. You decided the night before everyone was to go in order to reclaim Jabba's palace that you bring your daughter with you and to tell boba the truth having extra blasters in your leg buckle and in your daughter's bag if somehow need be necessary no matter how you didn't want to think of your daughter at a young age having to harm someone. You sneak your daughter into the palace and as soon as you see boba he follows you into a private room seeing you eating with your daughter who wasn't more than 10 making him concerned waiting outside for you to come out "You brought her... to a battle where people are going to die and you bring a child!" you turn with tears in your eyes "I am not leaving my daughter alone and definitely not where anyone knows where I live to harm her" you stare at each other before he pulls you into a hug squeezing him tightly "Promise me if you're still here after the battle and I'm not and somehow she is still here take her with you". After he reluctantly promises you tell your daughter not to leave the room in the palace no matter what before she falls asleep looking at her one last time turning to boba and the two of you leave to fight Luke Skywalker and his friends to keep Jabba's palace under empire control fighting between Leia Organa and Lando Calrissian while boba deals with a blinded Han Solo before you hear a scream seeing boba right next to the sarlacc pit making your heart stop. You manage to get him back up escaping before the ship you were on blows up going back to Jabba's palace to get your daughter hiding an unconscious boba finding her awake reading across the room getting her and going back to a now awake boba going to leave until all of a sudden you hear a familiar voice as boba and your daughter get on his ship "You're needed here and I need your help". You turn around seeing vader hoping that he didn't see your daughter and that he will let you leave with boba without any type of agreement or argument "Lord vader I have to make sure that the people I care about are safe and not under rebellion control" you stare at each other staying quiet seeing a tired boba waiting for you and watching the interaction "You have a child to protect...I can feel your worry" your eyes widen and pray to force that he doesn't know that she is on boba's ship "The child will be fine with the bounty hunter while you help them you can join them you're the only true loyal ally I have left" you nod with tears in your eyes turning to boba who only nods. While vader walks away giving you privacy you hug your daughter telling her you love her and telling boba to protect her leading to him taking off his helmet holding you and in a loving kiss holding his face before you meet vader and watch as boba leaves following vader going with him and Palpatine to take luke skywalker. Your daughter was sitting in the passenger seat beside boba while boba drove "Did my mom leave me?..." he looks over at her turning autopilot on and hugging her while she cried telling her that the three of you will be together and starting over as a family far away from the empire where no one knows who you are and you couldn't be judged for making a mistake and your daughter couldn't be judged because of it.

Favorite moment in each Star Wars movie?

I've been loving these questions lately! Not sure if you're all the same anon or multiple folks, but regardless, I really appreciate them.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

I mean, how can it not be the Duel of the Fates? The music! The ridiculous but fun as hell acrobatic choreography! The drama! I love the Prequel Trilogy when it feels the most operatic and that's definitely the case here.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Attack of the Clone is my least favorite live action Star Wars film. I think it has some great ideas, but it was rough in 2002 and visually it looks uglier with each passing year. That being said, I still find the arena battle on Geonosis to be fun as hell. There's just something special about throwing these Jedi, droids, flying termite people, giant alien monsters, Mandalorian bounty hunters, and eventually drop ships of clone troopers up against each other in a dusty coliseum that scratches a very special fantasy action itch.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Ian McDiarmid's delightfully evil performance in Revenge of the Sith is one of my favorite things in all of Star Wars and his triumphant speech that fully transforms the Republic into the fascist Galactic Empire is incredible. Add in John Williams's tragic choral score and Padme Amidala's tearful admittance of democracy's defeat at the hands of authoritarianism and you have movie magic and what might be my favorite moment from the Prequel Trilogy.

Solo: A Star Wars Story

I have the least opinions about Solo: A Star Wars Story of any Star Wars film. It's a solidly fine film that does little to impress or offend for most of its run time. The one area where I really feel the movie spark to life though is the first meeting between Donald Glover's Lando Calrissian and Alden Ehnrenreich's Han Solo over a game of Sabacc. Both actors bring such a fun spark to these characters that feels original but still connected to the long shadow of their original counterparts. It's also the best directed sequence in the film and maybe the only moment that leans into the space crime comedy that Solo seemed desperate to achieve.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

This is maybe an odd choice, but I love the first scene of Rogue One. I find most of this spin off film to be a little bit impersonal and sterile until we get to the big explosive (and admittedly fun) finale, but the opening confrontation between Orson Krennic and Galen Erso is really great. Gareth Edwards shoots it all with a grounded naturalism that feels tense and eerie in a way Star Wars films rarely are and Madds Mikkelson and Ben Mendehlson have such strong, dramatic chemistry. It's a moment that communicates so much about the relationship between these two men with so little and is really the storytelling high point of the film.

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

It's honestly a testament to how great the last half hour of A New Hope is that despite the fact that I've seen this movie likely more than any other movie in existence, I still find myself on the edge of my seat. Even thinking about the final stretch of Luke flying his X-Wing down the Empire's trench while Vader gains ever closer and closer still gives me chills. I cannot imagine the cheers that must have erupted in theaters across the world in the summer of 1977 when Han makes his surprise last minute rescue. It's just incredible film making on every level and I don't know if it'll ever be surpassed.

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Picking a favorite moment in The Empire Strikes Back is such a hard task, but I keep finding myself going back to the brilliant confrontation between Luke and Vader in Cloud City. Not only is it a beautifully shot and choreographed lightsaber duel, but it contains some of the most influential and emotionally devastating character beats in the saga. It's another instance of absolutely peak Star Wars.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Even with the beyond silly "NO!" dubbed over in the recent releases of Return of the Jedi, Vader's final rejection of Palpatine to rescue his son is still one of the moments of saga that can move me to tears despite having seen it dozens of times. There's just such incredible catharsis in this final reconciliation between father and son and it closes the best arc of the Original Trilogy off in such satisfying faction.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

I wholeheartedly think that the first thirty minutes or so of The Force Awakens are absolutely masterful filmmaking and arguably the best work of JJ Abrams's directorial career. While the opening battle sequence does a wonderful job of introducing some of the movie's cast, it's really Rey's mostly wordless introduction that felt instantly spellbinding and still wows me to this day. In several gorgeous minutes we learn so much about this lonely woman who scavengers to survive in the wreckage of classic franchise iconography (one of the Sequel Trilogy's many beautifully meta moments) and John Williams's crafts what is easily one of the best Star Wars themes of all time with a tinkling of wonder and mystery.

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

Like The Empire Strikes Back, picking a single moment that's my favorite in The Last Jedi is incredibly difficult. While there are undeniably rough patches, The Last Jedi has an abundance of absolutely iconic Star Wars scenes. I mean: Paige Tico's sacrifice; the throne room confrontation with Kylo, Rey, and Snoke; Luke and Yoda's discussion about the meaning of the legacy of the Jedi; the Holdo maneuver, Leia and Luke's reunion, the ending shot of Broom Boy. There's so many beats that I find myself wowed by over half a decade after the movie first premiered. But, my favorite has to be Kylo and Luke's Kurosawa inspired duel on the salt plains of Crait. I love the tense, minimalist choreography and stellar performances by Adam Driver and Mark Hamill, but I love the ending reveal the most. It completes Luke's wonderfully complex character arc in truly beautiful fashion.

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

It's absolutely the Force Flash Duel. Little competition. Yes, this movie is a mess and it fails to meet imost of its emotional, thematic, or mythological goals, but I think the evolution of Rey and Kylo's connection in the Force expanding into a confrontation that literally spills across space and time is such a smart and inventive idea and to me it feels like the most creatively successful moment in the film. Also it's the only time in the whole trilogy that we see Kylo duel with his mask on? Which feels important even if I'm not sure why.

[one-desperate-duros]

*Shriv responds quickly to @fel-vinks, the other Duros sounding just as panicky as Shriv feels, throwing out the most obvious answer he can think of.* You got any stim shots lying around, pal?!

“I don’t exactly work with dying people!”

Dyin-

Dying?!

Are you saying dying because I said dying, or is @inferno-commander actually dying?! Tell me right now what's going o-

*Iden speaks up at this point, scolding Shriv as per usual.

"I didn't lie, Suurgav. I withheld a few things because I know how emotional you can get, and fretting does no good."*

Who's emotional?! I'm not emotional! Do I sound emotional? You're the one who is over there trying to-

"You're gonna be fine. We just have to meet at the rendezvous point."

I am fine! You're the one who isn't fine! And we're here already! So hurry up!

" I'm gonna disconnect, Dio needs charging, don't worry about us, just be at those coordinates in the next forty minutes and we can get back to work. Versio out."

Wait, Iden-

" I knew you could do it and find her. Thank you. "

*Shriv barely hears the general, or notices the pat.

The comm call ends, leaving Shriv rumbling softly in irritation, gloved fingers gripping at the edge of the console as he means to turn and face @man-with-a-big-cape, though he is interrupted by another message coming from @black-squadron-commander that makes him furrow his brow, suddenly not in the mood for jokes.

"Shriv, seems like every time we talk, you just happen to bring up my wonderful … assets… If I didn’t know you any better I’d think you were trying to woo me. Good thing I do know better."

He shoots back a direct line immediately, hoping to catch Dameron and @freelance-combat-medic before they make another jump.*

You caught me, *he says dryly,* Listen-

"To answer your question, yes, we are hyperspace capable and are altering course from Freedom Station to Iden's location as I speak. Black Leader out."

Wait, Poe! Damn it! Versio is en route to Freedom Station, as should be you! I have spoken with her, and she has recommended setting up a bacta tank, which I have taken the liberty of doing! Quit karkin' goofin' off and turn your ship back around!

*Finally, he addresses Lando, sighing deeply as he tries to calm his anger and his nerves, catching the tail end of his conversation with Fel.*

Stay for awhile...? We don't even -

*Then, Calrissian relays his own message to Poe before strolling to the viewport, content to wait it out as that is all he is able to do.

Shriv stands at attention suddenly, informing the general of his departure.* I'm headed to the hangar. I'm waiting on that ship. I want to be the first one there to greet our new guest apparently, and I plan to make sure Iden gets to medbay alive.

*He turns on his heel, walking out he door and down the corridor towards the lift*

A Surprise Find

Ben Solo X Aria Lyons (OC) (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy)

Ben and Aria run into trouble while looking for parts.

Warnings:

     Ben Solo was, if anything, his father’s son.  And this was no more evident than with his knowledge of ships.  Not only could he pilot with the best of them, but he was also a very skilled mechanic.  Of course, he had to be; a good mechanic was hard to come by in the galaxy.  Sure there were good mechanics on any planet, but a real good one, one that wouldn’t rip you off, now that was a hard thing to find.  So as a result, most pilots, including Ben and his father Han, made sure they knew how to maintain and repair their ship.

     Most recently, Ben’s beloved ship, the Millennium Falcon, had a broken bathroom door that needed to be replaced and the only place one was available was at a junkyard on Bracca, one of several junk planets.

     “Are you sure this place has the door,” Aria, Ben’s longtime bondmate asked as they walked among the rows of beat-up ships and other vehicles.

     “It should,” Ben replied.  “I mean, if this place doesn’t, I sure as hell don’t know where we’d find it.”

     That made Aria chuckle.  He was right.  A simple door should be easy enough to find.  Of course, by most standards, the Falcon was a relic, a hunk of junk.  Ben’s father, the famed pilot Han Solo, had flown it longer than Ben had been alive, having won it from his friend Lando Calrissian years ago.  The ship had survived countless attacks, meteor showers, and the like so the fact that the door to the captain’s quarters broke by Ben falling onto the control panel and breaking it was ironic, albeit embarrassing.

     The couple continued to wander around in relative silence, looking for the right size door.  It was starting to feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack.  Ben hopped up on the hood of a scrapped tie-fighter and looked at the landscape.  He spotted a cargo ship near a dirt pile.

     “I think I found one!” he called out to Aria.  He hopped down and made his way to the ship.  He made his way up the ramp and into the main area.  Ben walked around the interior and soon found exactly what he was looking for.  “Bingo.”

     As he examined the metal door, a small hum was heard from the other side.  Ben paused at that.  They must have left a generator on, he figured.

     He went to open the panel when the door swung open.  A tiny brown blob shot out from the other side and hit Ben in his chest making him scream in shock.

     “What happened?” Aria asked as she ran up.  She smiled at what she saw.  “Aww look, it’s a porg.”

     “The fuck is a porg doing here?” Ben asked as he sat up.  The tiny bird made a sound and hopped into his lap.  It grabbed the hem of Ben’s vest in his mouth and tugged on it.

     “Maybe he escaped,” Aria mused as she petted the bird.  The porg made a happy chirping sound and nuzzled against her hand.  He nibbled on her fingers.  “Aww, you must be hungry.”

     She picked the porg up.  “Come on, let’s get you some fish jerky.”

     “Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Ben called after her.

     Aria didn’t answer.

     Ben shook his head and smiled.  He had a feeling they may have a new pet, whether he wanted it or not.
