Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983) #4

[triscribeaucollection]

New post pointing to my original book for anyone who wanders over from AO3 this month:

"Ash and ice, hang it all," Crant growled. "Mentras, I need you to hold onto this for me." She bent over to yank the folded parchment from her boot, and shoved it into the goblin's hands before he had time to protest.

"Whoa, wait, hold on! What are you going to do?" His voice went up in pitched as he watched her take several steps back.

"Something incredibly stupid."

(There are too few moments when we get to witness someone make a life-changing decision. Because, perhaps, there are too few moments when such a thing occurs...)

Never have i felt rage worse than when i learned carrie fisher was sent to a fat farm, on the demand of fox studio executivess who put it as condition to have her cast cause they insisted on someone thinner (hi casting practices are deeply evil in fatphobic transphobic and racist ways- and that has only mildly improved since the fucking 70s) prior to filming a new hope, to lose 10 pounds, which was far from an exceptional practice in the film industry at the time. And lucas told it in the film bonuses with no shame or apology, they even interviewed carrie about it as if that was some fun anecdote-fuck lucasfilm all the way off for that. And to this day dieting for roles in blockbusters still is the norm (remember that anecdote of her telling john boyega to go break his diet and eat an energy bar from her fridge on the set of the sequels 30 years later ? we progress so fucking slowly)

In general Hollywood obsession/morbid fascination with actors modifying their weight to unhealthy degrees for roles sucks and so does the way journalism and the audience feed the mythos and reward those movies with press and promo about it (still haunted by that star trek press tour where benebitch cabbagepatch was asked continously about dieting for a scene not even in the movie, meanwhile the female actress who had a gratuitous scene in underwear it was just a normal thing, hello gender inequality). anyways as soon as i hear an actor had to diet i lose interest in ever paying for the media. no movie or series is worth the human suffering and its prevalence is yet another symptom of the dishonesty of art under capitalism

i thought i had the prequels on dvd but i only have the original trilogy

[nomaishuttle]

like the thing is this and kfp3 arent Bad movies (shrek 3 literally was dontcare talk 2 the hand) theyre just like. idk. annoying sequels

[petrichorium]

Reboots/adaptations that just unapologetically do their own thing instead of being bogged down by imitating what came before will always be better than the alternative imo

we did not fulfill the prophecy -- main character comps

doli lin is like if shigure sohma and bruno madrigal were distilled into one man with depression and so much chronic pain

loreleaf is like if you smushed zuko thelastairbender and thara celehar together and spritzed him with legolas-scented perfume

jatatyla is like if you put nimona and morgana bbcmerlin in a soup pot and added a tablespoon of megara disneyshercules and just a pinch of deadpool

marou is like if you crossed a rainbow with a sunflower and the shimmer of moonlight on a garden pond and then gave him nice hair :)

okay, so I think maybe reading too much fic has affected how I approach actual books, but only specifically when they're star wars books that deal with the star wars main characters, bc I'm reading bloodlines rn (by Claudia Gray) which is about Leia and I am enjoying it! but for some reason reading Official, Totally Canon Leia feels weird even though it's objectively not

[silasplaskett]

i havent watched the first season either, so this is more of a general question!! would you recommend shadow and bone to someone who hasnt read any of the books and knows nothing about the universe?

i think its a good show no matter if u have read any of the books or not, especially since i havent read the series thats arguably more important to understanding the show and i enjoyed that part of the plot a lot. the characters are very engaging and the setting/worldbuilding is super cool (to me at least) and u can also find non-spoiler descriptions of the magic system, important characters, and maps and such on the grishaverse website to get a feel for whats going on if u want

got some Legoooo

[supremeprince-bensolo]

do you read daisy';s inteview about tlj and tros in variety?

I can’t believe they asked her this tbh...

It’s a pretty neutral answer. Like.. what else could she say in response? She’s an actor and has to follow the script that is given to her, and really it doesn’t matter what she thinks.

Though I would love to know what she really thinks, I don’t think we’ll ever know. We know what the fandom is like... they’ll twist her words and cause so much drama so it’s smart to give an answer like this.

[adaptations-polls]

Which version of this do you prefer?

[starboundsingularities]

anyone know a good aa4 playthrough to watch i need to experience it again buti don’t want to play it again because i have to use someone else’s computer

[spinsterssister]

i just finished mass effect andromeda and wow. what a ride. i’ve spent the past 4 months playing all of the mass effect games and damn, i get it, i get why everyone loves these games so much, i’ve had the best time. i already miss this universe and i can definitely see myself going back and playing the og trilogy again
