#the jade war one???

[maingh0st]

i know i'm not the first to say this, but the acolyte's cancellation has confirmed how tired i am of disney's decision-making when it comes to their content. i know nostalgia is the easiest way to a big payout, but we can only take so many spinoffs before the universe starts to feel too small. but then fresh content—content that's building on the canon by looking to old star wars lore while asking new questions—fizzles out.

it's the sequel trilogy all over again. we're promised something new, something that actually expands the canon rather than just recycling it, even bringing in concepts from legends, and then the rug is ripped out from underneath us & we're punished for ever caring about any of it. silly babygirl! palpatine was always the big bad (don't worry about the fact that this is thematically nonsense and not foreshadowed in any way), and rey isn't a nobody ("your parents sold you because they loved you"), and this isn't a story about how the force transcends human categories and dynasties (represented by a grey jedi force dyad between a legacy skywalker and a nobody orphan from a backwater planet, fulfilling not only balance between light and dark but also transcending the old to become something new). silly idiot!!! rey's a palpatine by birth and a skywalker by self-adoption and god forbid she create her own identity outside of these names our fans recognize. watch as she stands alone on a sand planet that has no personal significance to her, ending her arc almost exactly as she began. but look!! two suns! neat

i don't even know if fanservice is the right word. at a certain point, it just starts to feel like they're quaking in their boots at the thought of doing anything new. i had my gripes with some of the choices in the acolyte, but at least it was unique. it explored a new era and asked questions that star wars has only ever flirted with. like: what happens to the children who are uprooted from their homes at such a young age, yet can't find their place in the jedi order? how does one survive in a supposedly honorable system that nevertheless relies on the repression of some of humanity's most fundamental emotions? is it possible that an organization dictating exactly how one ought to interact with the very life force of the universe... could perhaps be faulty and shortsighted? what happens when the ways of that order clash with other cultures and worldviews? (spoilers: space colonialism). and that's not even to mention the ideas they play with re: the force itself (vergences! plagueis! force witches!)

i know not everyone loved the show, but a lot of people really did care about it. a lot of people, like me, were excited to see these new questions being raised. but forget it—the disney gods have decreed that it didn't hit some magical threshold of streaming hours or reach a "broad enough" audience in the two months it's been out. but don't worry guys. turn your brains off and tune in for the next spinoff 2 chewy 2 bacca

unfortunately thinking hard abt how Bruce meets duke at three vastly different times in his life and how he watched the innocence and cheer leave him as he got older and more jaded only for his spirit to blaze with hope when he matures into the signal

SPACE PONCHO!

I just KNOW Mara would love to rock a poncho. Or two. The comfiness, the anonymity, the practicality — not to mention all that space to carry weapons comfortably and secretly.

Protecting my mother while she recovers from her hip replacement surgery.

Last Tuesday my Mom went to the hospital to replace her hip. She’s doing good so far but please give good well wishes and pray that she gets further better and has a good and speedy recovery.

May the Force be with you always and Transform and Roll Out!

Can’t remember if I ever shared this drawing I did.

My favorite Star Wars pair. I don’t care if Disney made the books not canon, Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker forever!!!!

[grimme-and-specs]

On 4/20, I made the first one (cause hee hee funny weed number day), and then my buddy Beedle requested some other "weedstuck" (as they called it) doodles (the last one was my stupid idea)

It then spiraled into this

Luke and Mara? You don't do them often but you do them (and her attitude) so well!

Luke and Mara...and baby yoda for some reason

[autistic-ben-tennyson]

I just had this thought but anyone realize Shinji and Gendo are kind of similar to Luke and Vader especially in the rebuilds?

The son is the main character and the audience surrogate and is mischaracterized by some viewers as “whiny”. The father acts as a foil and reflection of what the son could become if he gives into his inner darkness. He is a cruel, evil man who cares for no one but himself yet beneath the hard shell is someone who’s broken by the loss of his wife and struggles to love himself. Yet it is the son accepting the father that pushes the latter to sacrifice himself for them and find peace in death.

people hating on vernestra’s lightwhip & saber color is hilarious when the same people will also love legends, where both of these things show up on multiple occasions

I love star wars, but not involving myself into star wars fandom actually improved my mental health

[twistedlovelines]
