#star wars kid

[continuants]

Hi! We saw you yesterday in the Star Wars kid documentary! How was that experience for you? :)

oh omg! thank you for watching it - it was an incredible experience. I got to the space and got to meet Ghyslain, who was incredibly warm and nice. We did the general interview about the internet history side of it first, and Ghyslain watched and took some notes/prepped some questions for our 1:1. That was one of the most powerful conversations I'd had in a long time - being able to really get in the weeds about how internet culture has changed over the years from someone who was on a very different side of it. seeing how our experiences were similar and so, so different. we got really deep and laughed at the end bc we both agreed it felt like a really good therapy session.

so much of the work i do is a step or two removed from the people making content/affected by the internet differently and it felt really good to have this moment to reflect and explore meaning with him.

ps here's the link to the film, but it looks like it's no longer avail in the US. below is a clip from my interview tho ->

Star Wars Kid was a critical juncture of the early web, and we chose the timeline where the web is a tool for mockery and bullying, instead of shutting that behaviour down in 2003 and blacklisting any "comedian" who considered him fodder for jokes.

Regular people can perhaps be understood though not justified for not realising how big the audience was they were mocking someone in front of; talk show hosts have no such excuse.

This is in my mind the first time either of them bring up marriage or weddings, Obi-Wan comes out of nowhere with it and Cody just rolls with it

delighted to listen to a nine year old discussing his thoughts on star wars. his dad’s been introducing him to the movies in release-date order, and they’re now halfway through The Force Awakens. here are his hot takes:

- best movie: phantom menace. qui gon and obi wan and yoda and anakin are all really cool.

- worst movie: return of the jedi. it took too long to save han solo; jabba is gross to look at and slave leia was weird to watch, ‘and they call it PG!’

- best characters: luke skywalker. anakin skywalker is second-best because he becomes darth vader. (this was very disappointing to discover)

- best villain: darth vader (even if he’s anakin). but dooku was also very good. palpatine is ugly.

- favorite jedi: yoda.

- biggest complaint: it would be better if anakin wasn’t darth vader. and, why did they kill padme? she would be a better vader. they should bring back anakin for the new movies. no, not as a ghost, just bring him back.

After seeing your headcannons for the merrical kids, I’m curious about why BD-1 is not allowed to babysit?

The JA books and subsequent woobification of padawan Obi-Wan have people overlooking a key fact, which is the innate ability of all 14 yr olds to immediately lock onto your deepest insecurities and fucking eviscerate you. You look at TCW Obi-Wan's bitchiness and tell me he did not have this ability but dialled up to 11 cause he's also a psychic force-sensitive.

I fully believe padawan Obi-Wan was terrorising Qui-Gon, the reason that man's always running ahead and leaving his padawan behind is because he's avoiding having to explain his life choices to the galaxy's most judgemental teenager. Initiate Obi-Wan is aggressive, padawan Obi-Wan is passive-aggressive.

*after Mon Mothma’s briefing*

Wedge: Hey, Luke! So where’ve you been?

Luke: Yeah, so I went back to Tatooine to break Han’s ass out of Jabba’s Palace. I had to fight a rancor first, though. Luckily, I killed it before—

Omega, on the other side of the room: YOU KILLED MOOCHI?!
