📡 TRANSMISSION INCOMING 📡

A preview of another beloved pilot, Shara Bey by @rackcty! 💥 Pre-Orders for Rebel, Rebel: Women of Star Wars open now until August 31st!

💥 ORDER HERE 💥

[bluntblade]

Of all Star Wars films, RotJ is particularly wild to watch with all the extended universe context. Somewhere near this goofiness with the Ewoks, Rex, Twilight Company, Inferno Squad and others are engaged in various savage running battles. Sinjir is killing Blevins. And just after this, Poe's mum will almost shoot Luke down. Wyll Lark is just offscreen here, watching Luke ceremoniously burn Vader and feeling deeply confused. Enjoy that celebration while you can, people of Theed City, because you'll be fighting to fend off Operation Cinder within a week. And last but not least, I wonder which of those huts the Damerons are fucking in?

[nkp1981]

In the comic "Shattered Empire" from 2015, Leia is piloting an N1 Starfighter from Naboo alongside Shara Bey (Poe Dameron's Mother) and Queen Soruna of Naboo to protect the planet from Operation Cinder.

The Force Tree

So…does anyone remember the branches of the Great Tree from the Jedi Temple being stolen back from the Empire by Luke and Shara Bey (Poe's mom) in the Shattered Empire comic? Did Lucasfilm/Story Group forget about that or did they change their minds about using it? I mean….I just thought that with Project Necromancer, the Empire wanting to clone Midiclorians or something like that, it'd be a good time to bring that up (I know- The Bad Batch takes place before Shattered Empire and before the OT, but still).

It just feels like an abandoned plot line.

I just can't help picturing (during Mando season 3) Kes and Poe whistling nonchalantly with their force tree in the background.

But if it doesn't have any…Force-giving powers, then why did the Emperor want to study it? And if it was useless, why didn't he just have those twigs thrown out?

Star Wars Pilots Tournament - Round 2B

Who's the better pilot?

Propaganda:

Shara Bey:

She is Poe’s mom and is the one that taught him everything he knows. She was a brilliant rebel pilot of an A-Wing and fought in several key battles, such as Endor, Naboo and Jakku

*marge simpson voice* i just think she's neat. WAIT SHE WAS A PODRACER. I THINK???? MAYBE???? idk if she was thats so fire (im not a shara expert) but she kept flying and being in the rebellion despite having an infant son (dedication we respect it), at one point she camped out on an active star destroyer after a mission gone wrong, just hiding for days and days. Also also she flies an A-wing so like... we appreciate that a wings are underrated

R2D2:

Has saved more than one skywalker from their own disastrous piloting

[bixels]

vague-posting about this here cuz i don't feel comfortable yapping about my su takes on twitter, but after everything that's happened the most interesting thing about the su fandom to me is that so many are 100% there for applying the "everyone can change and deserves a second chance" message to everyone, even the diamonds. except for one ☝️ she doesn't count. cuz she's dead.

Shattered Eagle: Fall of an Empire

Demo (322k WIP, 12/28/2024) | Forum | Ko-Fi

You are an advisor in a declining empire, beset by unrest, barbarians, and forces beyond your comprehension. Can you save the empire from doom?

Explore a fictional world inspired by the late Roman Empire.

Be male or female, cisgender or transgender, straight, gay, bisexual or asexual.

Serve the imperial family dutifully, or secure your own rise to power.

Choose from up to five careers, from a veteran of the legion to a shadowy spymaster.

Learn the secrets of sorcery or untangle the ancient mysteries behind the Empire.

Navigate the viper’s nest of imperial politics to find allies or paramours, including the empress herself, a cunning senator, a ruthless crime boss, a barbarian general, or a foreign prince.

SETTING SYNOPSIS

Through over five centuries of conquest, the Iudian Empire has come to rule the Inner Sea, becoming the most powerful realm in the known world.

From the western hills of Ezperia, the northern forests of Hevernica, the sophisticated cities of Attika, the eastern deserts of Midyan, and the southern rivers of Seyet, all fell before what the world calls the Iudian Sorceresses, the women who wield fire itself against their enemies. For it is indeed women who rule in Iudia, as ordained by the mother goddess Gaia herself.

Yet, the Empire is not without troubles, and her glory days seem past her. Crippling civil wars, endemic corruption and ceaseless invasion have all contributed to the woes of the once great Empire.

Threats old and new rear their heads in times such as these. A resurgent Pharia, the Empire’s old eastern rival, threatens to seize the eastern provinces. Civil unrest has escalated in the capital of the capital, the flames fanned by an increasingly bold criminal underground.

The greatest danger may come from the north, however. Beyond the cold barbarian lands comes a enemy you have only heard rumor of, the Witch King of the Ongi. It is said the warrior rides at the head of a massive host, wielding great magic that has united all the tribes of the far steppe together out of fear of his power. He has called a holy war against the Empire, claiming it as a nation of demons to be cleansed from the earth.

Will you hold the Empire steady in her time of crisis, claw your way to power, or seek to solve ancient mysteries? The fate of Iudia is in your hands.

MAJOR CHARACTERS

Empress Julia Vitallia Hevernica (48F)

A harsh woman who forced the Empire back together with blood and steel, Julia has reigned as Empress for a decade. She is a strong military leader and a pious woman, who frequently prays to the Goddess for guidance. She is cruel towards her enemies, but possesses a certain pragmatic streak, and has invested much of her authority in you so that you might govern the Empire while she wages war.

Consul Consentia Plinia Dorica (54F)

The leader of the now-sidelined Senate, the ancient legislature of grandiose aristocrats which once governed the Empire alone, Consentia is bent on advocating for what she sees as the fundamental rights of the public and restoring the power of the old Republic. She is a passionate orator and the wealthiest woman in the Empire, barring the Empress herself, and has struck a deal with the crime lord Ceto in order to gain the support of the masses for her reforms.

Tribune Ceto Vera (38F)

Coming up from the poorest slums of the capital, Ceto is the Empire’s most notorious crime lord, ruling the streets by both spreading out her ill-gotten gains to the people and making brutal examples out of those who refuse to acknowledge her authority. Lately, she has entered politics and become a staunch advocate for the rights of the common people, forming an uneasy alliance with the Consul to push back against the ever encroaching imperial autocracy.

Legate Antonius Lethungius/Amalrik Wulfhid (40M)

Born to an imperial mother who named him Antonius and a barbarian father who named him Amalrik, the Legate is a man caught between two bitterly opposed worlds. A skilled and charismatic general, he has won the steadfast loyalty of the Empire's barbarian auxiliaries with his victories on the field of battle, yet his true loyalties remain unknown. Is he a dutiful man of the Empire, or a proud, unbowed barbarian?

Prince Darius of Pharia (33M)

Darius, third son of the great King of Kings, serves in the imperial capital as the ambassador and hostage from the eastern realm of Pharia, the Empire’s oldest and most powerful rival. Over the past decade and half, however, Darius has become more than a mere captive, having established great wealth and influence in the capital with his charm and wit, and is now a major power player in his own right.

HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND

[galacticwildfire]

One of my favourite ever comics.

We see Leia on Naboo, which is heartwrenching in itself, defending it without even knowing she should have been born and raised there. We see her force sensitivity and dare I say a dash of psychometry in the scene when she enters the hanger on Naboo and senses Darth Maul having been there. I just love this comic for so many reasons, seeing Leia flying and truly exhibiting that everything Luke inherited from Anakin so did she, she just chose to follow Bail and Padme's path politically. She's flying an N1 starighter, this whole comic is a massive call back to the Trade Federations invasion and I love it. Then there's Leia and Shara's conversation mid battle and the fact she would later be the one to write the condolence letter to Kes and Poe and their interactions are a beautiful set up to the sequels with Leia and Poe's relationship, I also love in another comic Leia lecturing Kes about the chain of command. Everything about these comics and specifically this edition is so beautifully and brilliantly written and I hope so badly we do get a comic of Leia discovering who her mother was and exploring her connections to the Naberrie family and actually learning about Padmé from the handmaidens (if they survive the Darth Vader 2020 comics) since in legends she did know her cousin Pooja since they were senators together and she shared her memories of Padmé and Anakin with Leia.

In the comic "Shattered Empire" from 2015, Leia is piloting an N1 Starfighter from Naboo alongside Shara Bey (Poe Dameron's Mother) and Queen Soruna of Naboo to protect the planet from Operation Cinder.
