The Sequel Trilogy Is About 'Right Now'

I’ve been reading a book called “The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire,” which is written like an in-universe historical book about the Empire in Star Wars, and how it operated and functioned as a political system. It’s written by an actual WW2 historian, so he is able to make it feel extremely authentic and borrows info about Nazi Germany and the Holocaust to highlight the similarities.

The really compelling part, though, is how it then touches on the First Order, and it drives home what I really think was the heart of the sequel trilogy that many don’t want to appreciate yet: the FO is a metaphor for the resilience of fascist ideology and how it can’t just be magically killed by taking out a Fuhrer or Emperor: it’s an entire philosophy that seduces ignorant and greedy people and, just like in the real world, the New Republic was naive to think they had conquered Imperialism and won ‘happily ever after.' That arrogance led to fascism being allowed to rebuild its strength in the shadows, and manipulate the system from within, to create the conditions for them to take over again when the world/galaxy was most vulnerable.

This is what the sequels are about: the need to remain vigilant against these ideologies, and if you fail to stop it returning like Luke did, then our best hope is for the next generation to rise up to the plate and ensure our forefathers’ sacrifices are not in vain. I think we will look back on these films and see them as far more thematically relevant than we gave credit for.

Below is a passage that I found particularly moving:

We are, right this second, facing down a similar moment as a civilization here in America: can we all come together and say in one voice “NO,” like the galaxy did to Palpatine? I have little hope left, but I want to be proven wrong.

In conclusion: the sequel trilogy is smarter than you think, the writers were trying to say something with meaning, and Rise of Skywalker could use more credit for the revolutionary messages it actually contains.

Every time I watch The Last Skywalker, I hope I might actually like it this time. But, no. It never gets better. As disappointing as the first time I saw it.

This episode is on season 7, at the height of the war with the Dominion. This is what made TV good.

Greater Krayt Dragon VS Mythosaur

Went into this planning a quick doodle and well… that’s not what happened here lol Anyways enjoy!

It was fun paring Mythos up against something a fair bit bigger than her. Most things she gets to play with are so small

I'm also just thinking about how people's frustration with The Bear this season in general and not just with SydCarmy is so indicative of how little people understand about story writing.

I got my BA in fiction writing which doesn't make me the world's leading expert or anything but I know enough to know that The Bear is exceptionally well-written and most of the complaints about this season stem from not knowing anything about writing a story.

And on top of this, the same people who don't know anything about writing a story are used to consuming really bad stories because right now, we're in one of the worst eras of television and honestly, writing in general, ever.

Because right now there's no expectation or requirement for a show or book to be well-written before production or publication. There's no requirement for it to actually be good, or for it to even make any sense at the writing level. All that matters is that people will watch it or read it and since people can't tell the difference between good writing and bad writing and largely aren't watching or reading for that reason anyway, who cares?

It's just an endless cycle.

Audiences don't recognize nor want good writing > Producers and publishers don't require nor pursue good writing > Writers that ultimately become successful can't nor need to write well > And the cycle starts over.

And because people are so used to bad writing, and can’t tell the difference between good and bad writing, and don’t want good writing anyway, when a show like The Bear comes around, a show that doesn’t hold their hand and explain everything to them or doesn’t spoon-feed them exactly what they want, a show that isn’t going to sacrifice the narrative through-line just to cut to the romantic chase - people are not only confused but pissed.

And then the most frustrating part of all this is that people then come to the conclusion the writer’s are bad at writing.

It is so bleak to be an aspiring writer right now, I swear.
