Star Wars Hot Take

tw: opinion (/hj)

Anakin’s line about hating sand is one of the greatest lines in Attack of the Clones but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation.

[skygirlstars]

every time someone says “Anakin wouldn’t have turned to the dark side if Ahsoka hadn’t left the Order” an angel loses its wings

filoni stans just don't quit huh?

"people are mad sabine has force powers because it's badly hidden misogyny-"

oh here we go again as if many people haven't already explained in depth how she's been character assassinated.

heads up everyone, if we don't like filoni's stupid ass decisions and contrived writing it must always be because of sexism, racism and whichever excuse stans use to deflect criticism. this is what happens when we spoil their fun. some of them are sounding like last jedi stans who screamed misogyny and racism when fans rightfully pointed out the badly written script, the way kylo almost took over rey's story and the way poc were mistreated. love how they yell sexism while glossing over how filoni made ahsoka's importance all about a man in this show.

sabine was already a good character in rebels without needing to be force sensitive. she had her own cultural identity as a mandalorian. guess none of that matters now, she gets to follow a rote padawan story that makes no sense for her and wasn't even properly developed. all because filoni is far up his own ass about his special mando jedi ocs while disrespecting established jedi characters. good lord, i'm glad this season is over.

NO THEY DO NOT ANON!!!! And that’s the thing that drives me crazy about Feloni Stan’s is I think his project promote bad behavior. There is so much racism and sexism in these projects that everyone is more than happy to turn a blind eye too. I, on the other hand, cannot condone any of it and I refuse to make excuses for it and I will say exactly what’s on my mind even if others are afraid to because this is ridiculous. There are so many talented writers and minds out there who can continue the Star Wars legacy without going low and create inspiring content that can generate hope in future generations to come but nope we’re still gonna keep ignorant people in high places and produce more crap.

And yes Sabine should have stayed true to who she was. There was no need for this Jedi nonsense.

Star wars fans hate Star wars.

People are so cynical about newer star wars stuff that they can't even see the good parts.

For example, the sequels. They're fun. They might not be the best, but they're fun. People drag them for having clunky dialogue, as if star wars ever had 'good' dialogue. The franchise has always been rough around the edges, that's what makes it so fun.

I will die on this hill.

post christmas star wars hot take

(i can bet you someone has said this already) rey shouldn’t have been the jedi. finn all along. better character, i personally couldn’t stand rey. she was very unlikeable for me. sure her thing with kylo was cute but come on. the story line with finn being a storm trooper (maybe could have added some suspicion in with kylo bc he could sense his presence or something within the force) and then he escapes and trains and is basically a huge fuck you to the first order

finn is such a sweet character that i liked a lot, he deserved more than he received in those movies

then again if rey wasn’t the jedi then we wouldn’t have gotten that ridiculously necessary scene of kylo in the pants

…anyways

also she’s not a skywalker she’s a palpatine

happy holidays! (sorry not sorry)

it's Neeku Vozo just autistic or is he just anoying as fuck

So i'm n ep 2 of 'star wars resistance' and i have to say... don't know if i can keep watching this show .

The alien character (Neeku Vozo) it's extremly abalist ? like idk if it was on prpouse or not that he is so hevely autsitic coded (like it can't be just an accident ) And he acts so wierd , he clearly can't read social clues but it's only use in a really fucked up comedy way .

Like eve whn a character straight up told to hs face thtas "i'm not the beast piot " he just ramdoly doesn't get it ? . I undrstand thtas it probaly just bc hes an alien and shit but stil. no one in thta writers room sayd anything ? IDK as an autistic indivdual watching this show i just felt really ocuard and unconftrable , maybe the show progrses idk i might give it a shot some day but not now. it's really cringed me

fuck this man , he looks like a fag to >:O

Dear people who claim to be the "non toxic star wars Fandom" : YOU BECAME THE VERY THING YOU SWORE TO DESTROY. You overcorrected and took "non toxic" to just mean: "shill". It's good that you defend the sequels and the newer content from bad faith criticism that's rooted in misogyny and racism, but the lines are getting blurred, and day by day you're silencing ANY criticism of Star Wars, even actual criticism. We aren't the people who attacked the actors on social media or complain about "wokeness", some of us love this franchise just as much as yoi do and want to talk about it and discuss it.This is starting to look like simping for a brand/corporation instead of earnestly trying to help people enjoy things and that's, in fact, B A D

We can let people enjoy things AND let them critique things.

I actually like The Force Awakens

But none of the other sequel trilogy movies. I had the fortune of reading Before The Awakening, a book that's sorta a prologue to the movie, and so I feel like I have a better time on rewatches because it explains who the trooper who dies in the beginning is, and why Rey can fly a spaceship with no actual training. Not a fan of needing to read a book to understand a movie/game(HELLO NEIGHBOR) but in this case the book definitely enhanced my experience.

If you wanna read it, it's "Before the Awakening" by Greg Rucka, could be nostalgia clouds but I remember it being really good and rereading it a few times.

I don't care what the hatman says I firmly believe Ahsoka is not describing Anakin as anything other than the most cringefail jedi ever.

When she finds out Anakin is Darth Vader? The same Vader she's been fighting against for a decade? The same Vader who's crimes she's had a front row seat for in the rebellion? Who killed all the friends and family she grew up with and is now also killing the new friends and family she's managed to scrape together in the ashes of everything she ever knew? Who puppets around the 501st, her and Rex's brothers, the men who trusted him with their lives, as nothing more than mindless murderers? Ohoho she wants him dead sooo bad. She takes 3 business days to process then comes back with full murderous rage unlocked. She's outside his evil lair banging pots and pans together telling him to square the fuck up, Master. Her Cain instinct is fully activated. Move outta the way old man, Ahsoka's going to do what she must and she's actually going to follow through with her words.

Obi-Wan's got the cornerstone on depression, Ahsoka's got rage covered, together they almost form one healthy grief response. (I'm imagining them both living at the same rebel base post O66 and the twins going between them for wildly contrasting takes on their dad lmao)

[comebackali]

Obi-wan immediately after he and Siri rescue Ferus from being kidnapped: Why doesn't Ferus smile at me when I walk in a room like Anakin does? Why doesn't Ferus tease me and make snarky quips like Anakin does? I miss Anakin so much, I need to find him right now immediately, I sure do hate being separated from him.

UM...GUYS?

ABOUT THAT...

IMPERIAL COMMANDER FROM THE TRAILER...

I HOPE I'M DREAMING IT, I HOPE I'M DREAMING IT, IT'S A HOT TAKE BUT I HOPE I'M REALLY DREAMING IT, PLEASE

EDIT: Ok I just had a look at the clone assassin armor as others have pointed out and yes it definitely does not specifically imply that this character is Tech based solely on the armor design 😆 however I am still worried about how they pinpointed Pabu 😳 there are so many possibilities!

[indistinctchatt3r]

Sol and Jecki have the dynamic of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan if Qui-Gon mildly cared about the code and/or the wellbeing of children

Jetii's 500 Follower Celebration

Hello there! I'm so grateful for all the love I've received since joining the TCW/TBB fandom a few months ago, and to celebrate my follower milestone, I'm temporarily reopening my requests. 💙

I tend to write a lot, and I put a lot of time into everything I post, so the window to submit an ask will be relatively brief to give me enough space to work.

Request List | Masterlist

The Rules:

Pick a number from this NSFW list or create your own prompt (SFW or NSFW)

Pick any clone from TCW or TBB (even if I haven’t written them before)

Mind my request guidelines and please let me know if your request is NSFW or SFW

Submit your request to my inbox between September 16 – September 26

Reblog the request when you see it's posted! Reblogging a post is the best way to support creators and ensure that they keep creating, even if it's just a blind reblog.

Multiple requests are allowed, requests with multiple prompts are allowed. Feel free to add as much or as little detail as you want in addition to the prompt. Also open to writing sequels to any of my existing works if you’re into that sort of thing!

Since this is a follower celebration, you should be following me and have interacted with at least one of my works in the past. I will check. I'm allowing anon requests for now, but it is easier for me if I can DM you about it if I have questions.

No guarantees on how long it’ll actually take me to fulfill your request or if I’ll be able to fulfill it at all. Sometimes it takes days and sometimes months, inspiration is a cruel and fickle mistress. I reserve the right to delete your request if I’m not vibing with it or it doesn’t follow my guidelines.

All fics will be added to a separate masterlist, and I’ll be posting a request queue soon so there’s some visibility. Happy requesting! 🤞

One day, I’m gonna snap and write the essay about how Anakin was a good person right up until he made the choice to Fall in RotS and how that’s the whole reason why the tragedy of the PT is so effective, because us viewers are truly rooting for him, hoping against hope that he’ll do the good deeds that we know he’s capable of, right until the very end. Reading him as a shitty person from the very start, constantly abusing the people in his life, is both contradictory to the great pains that canon takes to display his genuine accomplishments AND imo a really boring way to view the trilogy. I’m less interested in the story of an asshole becoming a bigger asshole than I am in the story of a good person with flaws that were deliberately exploited by the Manifestation Of Evil until his willpower broke.

(Tempted to insert into the essay the fact that both Anakin’s selfishness/possessiveness and his anger are symptoms of his actual fatal character flaw, not the flaws itself, which is a direct product of his childhood, but idk if this fandom is ready for that.)
