Also Goro is a professional detective and hitman but in the meta verse so like characters have weapons which are like theoretically their preferred/best weapons and like. Haru has an ax and a grenade launcher. Mona has a kind of sword and a slingshot. Ryuji has a bat and a shot gun.

YOU KNOW WHAT GOROS WEAPONS ARE???

Lightsaber and ray gun. HE IS A CHILD AT HEART YOUR HONOR.

I should not be allowed in the metaverse it would all be medical malpractice and an umbrella.

Any criticism you can throw at Star Wars: Visions should be negated solely because of the unique lightsaber designs.

Back from concert!! It was awesome!!!

I sat next to a guy named Phil who gave me a Rob Zombie poster he'd bought but didn't end up wanting (said his wife wouldn't appreciate him hanging it in the house)

It was nice of him, but it's added one more to the weird trend I've noticed throughout my life of People Just Giving Me Stuff

[cielie-voss]

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Me, a 26 year old adult, to everyone who's willing to listen: look at my super cool lightsaber umbrella! And it can change colors! Now I'm a Sith! And now a Jedi!

Wesker: Redfield, our instruments measured that you were driving 100 mph in one of STARS jeeps.

Chris: sorry captain, but the speed limit does not apply when the free bird solo comes on.

@rebelwithoutaclock Coming up! To read the other STARS shenanigans drabbles, here they are 1, 2, 3,

"Alright everyone, gather around. Let's make this mid-week huddle a quick one," Wesker hollered, gesturing with his right hand for everyone in the STARs unit to come into the meeting room.

He took off his shades, rubbing his eyes while mentally bracing himself. Between his nefarious obligations to Umbrella and trying to run a police department, he could feel the exhaustion creeping in. A wave of regret pooled in the back of his subconscious, wishing he had the foresight years ago to not work two jobs. Alas, he made his bed and had to lie in it. That didn't mean he didn't have an intrusive thought or two about cleaning up shop as far as the RPD was concerned, especially with the shenanigans the STARs team in particular pulled.

For being the best, they sure aren't the brightest...he thought as he made himself comfortable in front of the podium, watching the team members take their usual seats. He put his glasses back on and cleared his throat.

"First thing on the agenda is the lightsaber incident," Wesker couldn't believe he was saying this aloud and shook his head. "Mr. Vickers, when you're on patrol and see a group of teens reenacting a movie scene, that doesn't mean you stop your vehicle and join them. Especially when you're in the middle of an investigation. Might I add the delay in your scheduled flight with Mr. Sullivan made it so Ms. Chambers took one for the team and covered your ass."

Quiet snickers filled the room as Brad's face blushed. He wanted to shrink into a puddle and disappear, wondering who ratted him out. All he could do was meekly reply, "Y-yes sir…I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

"Good," Wesker stated. He ignored the fact that Rebecca herself patted Brad's knee and whispered 'it was alright,' too focused on Chris, who was unable to keep a straight face compared to his colleagues. "Redfield, earlier this week our instruments measured that you were driving a hundred miles per hour in one of our STARS jeeps. Care to explain?"

Jill and Barry, sitting on either side of Chris, quietly chuckled at Chris's expense, earning a quick glare from him before he forced himself to look at Wesker.

"Sorry, captain," Chris coughed. "But the speed limit does not apply when the 'Free Bird' solo comes on."

Barry and Jill bowed their heads in front of the table, their shoulders quaking as they tried to hold back their laughs. Even members of the Bravo team were having difficulty keeping it together at the visual alone.

"You know what else doesn't apply, Redfield?" Wesker asked as a matter of fact.

"I don't know, sir," Chris gestured. "Enlighten me."

"The time-off request you submitted last week. Consider it tabled for insubordination."

"Son of a bitch…!" Chris whispered harshly under his breath.

"And while we are on the subject of cars, Ms. Valentine and Mr. Burton, I'm putting you both on vehicle suspension for the remainder of the week."

"What, why!?" Jill exclaimed.

"But sir--!"

Wesker held up a hand, interrupting their protests. "I doubt Redfield was able to come up with the 'Free Bird' bit on his lonesome. The man is full of colorful ideas, but you two are well known for encouraging him to see it through."

"Shit…"

"Fuck, he got us there," Barry muttered to Jill.

"Mr. Frost," Wesker let out a deep sigh for this one as he once again took off his glasses to rub his eyes. "While you are out on patrol, you can't go around with chalk outlining cars and trucks that don't park within the lines in a parking lot or park to the curb exactly with an exclamation of 'asshole parking' and proceed to ticket."

"But it's a good warning system!" Joseph glared and shrugged. "If they can't parallel park for shit, then they had it coming! If you would've put me on another assignment instead of having me play meter boy, we wouldn't be having this conversation!"

"Mr. Frost, get over yourself," Wesker growled. "I know you're angered that I set you on this task, but need I remind you what the alternative would've been?"

"All because I started the whole 'Wesker shits standing up' bit? Man, you need to take a joke!"

"Enough!" Wesker raised his voice. Whatever was left of the chuckles and laughs ceased immediately. He felt a sense of pride rise in his body as well as his blood pressure, and let out a deep breath. "Alright people, let's take five, and we'll meet back here to cover the recent cannibal attacks."

As the STARs Alpha and Bravo teams single filed out of the room, Wesker thought he had a moment of peace until he heard Joseph holler:

"I still stand by what I said, Wesker shits standing up everyone!"

Wesker made a fist, his teeth clenched.

The thought of siccing a pack of Cerberus onto the man was beginning to sound more and more delicious with each passing minute. He smirked to himself, riding on the high from the visuals that came and went through his mind of Joseph being ripped apart.

Maybe Birkin and I can brainstorm later…

Disney Star Wars Retrospective - Episode I: The Phantom Mouse

A long time ago, in a conference room far, far away....

They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Or is it the lightsaber? On October 30, 2012, a few strokes of ink were all it took for one of the most lucrative media enterprises of all time to be subsumed into arguably the largest entertainment empire in history. I am talking of course about the $4.5 billion sale of Lucasfilm to the Walt Disney Company, which brought iconic film franchises like Indiana Jones and Star Wars under the ever-expanding Disney umbrella of intellectual properties.

While Indiana Jones has been no box-office slouch, George Lucas’ epic space fantasy saga was the real prize in the transaction. And the new regime at Lucasfilm, headed by Kathleen Kennedy, longtime movie producer and frequent collaborator of Steven Spielberg’s, could hardly wait for the dust to settle before greenlighting a series of moves that would define the franchise for the decade to come.

Shortly after the purchase was announced, so too were a new trio of Star Wars films set after the Original Trilogy, which would pick up the stories of Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, and a host of new characters as they sought to protect the galaxy against a resurgent evil, seeking to destroy the peace brought by the establishment of a New Galactic Republic. Additionally, the company also announced plans for a series of anthology films, which were to release between the latest installments in the Sequel Trilogy. However, to compensate for the number of resources devoted to such an ambitious film schedule, the fan-favorite Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, which had aired five seasons on Cartoon Network since 2008, would come to an end. Alongside these announcements was also the confirmation that the Expanded Universe (EU) material, the books and comics that had filled out so much of the galaxy’s lore before, between, and after the films, was no longer considered canon for the purposes of new Star Wars projects and would be reclassified as “Legends.”

Many of the creatives behind The Clone Wars continued onto Rebels, including showrunner Dave Filoni, and as a result, many storylines and characters from the former were brought into the latter in one way or another. Fan favorites like Captain Rex and Hondo Ohnaka would return, as well as lesser-known ones like Saw Gerrera and Bo-Katan Kryze would appear, though rarely for more than a few episodes at a time at most. But easily the most prevalent of The Clone Wars originals to join the cast of Rebels was the one and only Ahsoka Tano, the former Padawan of Anakin Skywalker who, after being falsely accused of bombing the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and murdering a witness to cover it up, decided to walk away from the Order, even after she was exonerated on all charges. Since The Clone Wars hadn’t reached its natural endpoint of the Jedi Purge (commonly known as Order 66) before its untimely cancellation, fans were left wondering what fate may have befallen their favorite ex-Jedi at that critical moment in Star Wars lore. Now, they would at least know she had survived Emperor Palpatine’s directive to rid the galaxy of the greatest threat to his power, even if the specifics of how she’d done so were left unsaid at the time.

However, Rebels was hardly a direct successor to The Clone Wars in terms of its general tone and art direction, both of which were noticeably altered from the relatively mature and moody atmosphere of its predecessor, particularly its later seasons — though Rebels would eventually reach similar levels of emotional and thematic intensity as The Clone Wars had by the end of its run. But while the lighter tone of Rebels can be easily attributed to a desire by the franchise’s new overlords to keep the franchise more in line with Disney’s “family friendly” brand ethos, the change in art direction is more indicative of a broader trend within the franchise that began in this time and arguably persists to this day, which is an almost compulsive reverence for the Original Trilogy and its iconography.

It’s no secret to anyone familiar with the history of cinema that the Star Wars prequels were not very well-received upon their initial release, though they have received a critical reappraisal by fans in recent years. Either way, when Lucasfilm went to work on their new slate of Star Wars projects in 2013, the general consensus was still that the Prequel Trilogy was a collection of overly ambitious and poorly executed disasterpieces, a fact they were like well aware of and would make them want to avoid whatever associations with it they could when developing new material. This might also help to explain why The Clone Wars, a series set in the midst of the trilogy, was cancelled so unceremoniously at the time, with only a 13-episode sixth season released straight to Netflix, a handful of unfinished animatics dumped on the Star Wars website, and other unproduced story arcs being adapted into quasicanonical books and comics to fill the void left in its wake.

What this represents is a desire among the creative minds behind the franchise towards inserting Original Trilogy “fan service” into their work. The style of Ralph McQuarrie’s concept art, while critical in shaping the visual language of Star Wars, is in truth only recognizable as such to the most die-hard of fans and thus provides no more — or less — value to the average viewer, and therefore can be seen as a decision made primarily to cater towards the superfans while not alienating newer or less knowledgeable ones. Likewise, the series’ (re)introduction of Grand Admiral Thrawn in the third season can easily be understood as yet another case of this phenomenon, albeit in a slightly different manner.

The character of Thrawn was first created for Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire trilogy of novels, a core component of the EU/Legends canon written in the early 90s during that time when Star Wars was mostly seen as “uncool nerd shit” to the general public. But for the fans who grew up reading and loving these books, they may have felt hurt and betrayed when Disney came in and told them these stories were no longer canon. So, when Thrawn reappeared in Rebels with the same character design and personality as he had in the novels, it signaled to them that the franchise was still willing to look to the EU/Legends for inspiration and would even draw directly from them, thus rewarding their continued devotion to the franchise’s extended lore.

That’s not to say that casual fans were necessarily turned off by this either. If anything, because the Heir to the Empire novels were no longer canon, it was easier for them to only see Thrawn as the version that appeared in Rebels and therefore discard the ancillary material as unnecessary to understanding who he was, where he came from, and what he wanted. Those novels still existed if they wanted to dive deeper, but it was ultimately inessential to following the show’s plot, and thus wouldn’t make newer or more casual fans feel like they had “homework” to do before they could start enjoying the franchise’s current marquee offerings.

In a similar vein to Thrawn’s role in the series is that of Darth Maul, the failed apprentice to Darth Sidious who somehow survived being sliced in half by Obi-wan Kenobi during a duel on Naboo in The Phantom Menace. It could have — and probably should have — been a disaster class in fan service when he was brought back in The Clone Wars, but to the show’s credit, it went to great lengths to make it work both narratively and thematically. It presented his miraculous survival as the product of pure hatred, channeled through the Force, and directed towards the man who nearly killed him and the master who abandoned him. Through much of his screentime both shows, he is motivated almost singularly by a desire for revenge against both Kenobi and Sidious, eventually culminating in a final rematch between him and Kenobi in the Tatooine desert that ends with him being slain and set free at last from his eternal torment.

For Rebels viewers who had perhaps seen the main saga films — Episodes I-VI at the time — but missed The Clone Wars, Maul’s return would come as an utter shock. The last they had seen of this man he had been falling down a reactor shaft in two pieces; now he was alive and well and menacing the galaxy yet again. When did this happen? How did this happen? They would have to watch The Clone Wars or read a Wookiepedia article to learn for themselves, since the show mostly assumed you were already aware of his return. Thankfully, the entire show was available on a popular streaming service and came highly regarded by much of the fandom, so the reward for “doing their homework” might be seen as worthwhile. Not to mention its arc-based structure lent well to isolating a few specific episodes as “essential,” instead of needing to view the entire show to understand how and why Maul had come back from the dead. And yet, the prospect of there being “homework” at all for an animated show geared towards children and teens might have also turned away some of those who had been lured in by the stormtroopers and lightsabers they once knew and loved.

All told, the first few years of Star Wars under its new management indicated a great deal of how the next decade of Star Wars media would play out. Anything the fans didn’t like — the prequels, mainly — could be mostly ignored. Aspects of the franchise beloved by fans but unknown to broader audiences — The Clone Wars and the EU /Legends— may continue to appear, but only when it can contribute positively to the story already being told. And above all, stick to what everyone knows and loves as much as you can — the aesthetics and iconography of the Original Trilogy: X-Wings and TIE Fighters, Rebels and Empire. These were as good as gospel in Disney’s new church of Star Wars, a fact which was only proved truer when the highly anticipated Episode VII hit theaters in December 2015, the first theatrical live-action Star Wars movie in a decade, and the first since the Disney buyout.

☆Jedi Agere Flag☆

Two new jedi flags! Those are supposed to be an "umbrella" jedi agere flag; its literally for everybody! Caregivers, regressors, flips, dreamers etc.

First one is based on lightsaber colors, the second one is based on the colors that jedi clothing are often depicted in

@bunnelbaby

[nickeverdeen]

Hello! When I found your account and saw you do this kind of stuff, I got super excited!! I hope it's okay that I request more than one thing in one ask, but don't stress and do it whenever you have time!

Requesting for the fandoms Harry Potter, Avatar (The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra), The Arrow, The Umbrella Academy, Outer Banks, Percy Jackson, Star Wars, and MCU.

I'd very much appreciate a romantic, and perhaps a platonic, match-up with any character from all fandoms listed above (if that's alright and not too much work)!

I'd also like a sorting for which bending I'd bend in Avatar (both series work), what my superpower would be in Umbrella Academy, if I'd be a pouge or kook in Outer Banks (just watched part one of season four 😍), which cabin I belong in Percy Jackson, what my Hogwarts House in Harry Potter would be, and if I'd be a Jedi or Sith in Star Wars as well as Lightsaber color.

So, my name is Rebecca, I'm a 19-year-old female, and I go by she/they pronouns. I've been going on and off with my sexuality, so now I just identify as queer (I was panromantic / panromantic sapphic / panromantic before... just can't decide my label)— so I have no gender preference when it comes to characters match-up.

I'm a February Aquarius, INFJ/ENFJ (it changes) and 3w2 (I think?). I'm an ambivert leaning more into introverted, but I want to become more extroverted. I'm just too tired / too shy to. According to the online sorting hat, I am a Hufflepuff but also Ravenclaw and maybe Gryffindor. I'm also drawn to the Goddess Aphrodite, so I say I belong to Cabin 1O when I actually have no clue, but I don't want these two points to influence your thoughts in any way!

People say I'm kind, caring, funny, loving, smart (that's on 50/50), cheerful, understanding, ambitious/determined, childish, polite, helper, perfectionist, indecisive, stubborn, shy at first encounter, etc. I am a good mix of "sirius" (sorry, I had to) and "childish".

I start a lot of projects but have difficulty finishing most of them, which is due to my ADHD. I get so many good ideas that I want to do, but never really complete them (I procrastinate on/push them) as soon as I start them.

I do aim to become ✨️ the it girl ✨️.

I'm more of a dog person rather than a cat person. Though I love cats, I own seven Chihuahuas. One of my friends says I have golden retrieved energy, and another sends me Instagram reels about clumsy orange cats, because that's me too.

(Also, my main Patronus I get on The Wizarding World is a Tonkenise cat.)

What animal is the perfect mix of a dog and a cat? Me. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Physically, I'm a 159cm / 5'2, kind of chubby girl with breast-length-ish straight blonde hair and green eyes (they're actually a mix of green, blue, gray, and brown).

My favorite color is pink, and people know me as "The Pink Lady". I usually dress in that color, however, now that I have started "university" (yrkeshögskola in Swedish— my native language), I've begun wearing other colors (I usually color-match, I can't wear too many colors or colors that don't blend together) just to seem a bit more "adult-y" since I am the second youngest in my class (there's another 19-yeard-old, I'm just a few months older than her).

I study TV-productionspecialist in "university," but I don't know what I want to do for work when I graduate "university"...

I do, however, aim to become an influencer as a side hobby and start my own business.

I'm in MANY fandoms, and I can't decide which ones I should "obsess" over most of the time. I also have a long list of crushes because yes.

---------------------------------------------

I think that's about it?

Again, absolutely no stress as I completely understand that I've asked for too much!

Hi, cariño, I’m so sorry, but that’s a tad too much and it’s kidna harder to work with so I ain’t doing it and I’m so sorry for that

[headlesssamurai]

White liberal vibes

You know, the other day, I was having a conversation with an old friend after her husband and I had gone out for a range day.

We were prepping food on their deck. I was grilling the meats because I don't care for professional sports, and thus I could stand to miss many major moments of whatever sportsball game was being watched inside, whilst simultaneously putting my modest background in sous chef employment to use for the first time in ages.

She and I discussed books we'd been reading recently, as their kids ran around swatting each other with toy lightsabers, and as a happenstance we wandered onto the subject of widespread illiteracy in the modern generation. This, of course, was accompanied by the requisite list of personal pet peeves with regards to poorly composed written communication (and a bafflingly coincident overreliance on such in digital format), the infectious rot played by social media in this trend, and the oft-confused distinction between reading a book yourself (like, you know, with your eyes) and listening to someone else read it for you.

One of the pet peeves mentioned by my friend was this unusual habit for a great swath of folks on the internet to write incomplete thoughts without context or punctuation, and expect others to understand whatever this unstructured nonsense is intended to convey. I recall chuckling at the time, as I've noticed this type of thing happening as far back as the MySpace days, and more recently across YouTube and Tumblr. My friend and I exchanged jokes, laughed, she sipped her beer, I sipped my bourbon, and around that time the potatoes were about done. So we went inside to eat.

I only mention this because it seems such strange luck you'd send me three words out of context like this in a puzzling display of the exact thing I was so recently laughing with my friend about.

I was a bit confused about how to respond at first, so I'll just say - whatever your intent - all three of those words are so utterly overused in today's world I'd regard them as having almost no remaining functional meaning whatsoever. I'll also recommend you do a bit of cursory research into where the term "liberal" originated, and a commensurate amount of research into just how many distinct ethnic groups the United States' federal government sweep under the umbrella label of "white" to get a sense of how hilariously reductive that term happens to be in a society that claims to care so much for so-called diversity. It's as stupidly, ridiculously oversimplified as the terms "Black", "Asian", and "Middle-Eastern".

All that said, hope you have a lovely night. Drink lots of water.

Grogu wondered where Ahsoka Tano got her poncho. It was kind of beat up and tattered, but he still liked it. It had a hood and fastened at the neck so it wasn’t a real poncho, but it looked like a real poncho and he liked that about it. 

Grogu had become obsessed with clothing recently. Styles, trends, materials, construction, durability, and the like. His coverall had been very useful to him, but he felt sure that the next growth spurt would make it too tight, too short, and too out of date for him. 

He wanted something different. Something that would point out very clearly that he was no longer a Jedi youngling, but a Mandalorian, with Jedi tendencies. But he didn’t want to forget or ignore his Jedi heritage. He’d been wondering where the balancing point was between the two styles. He was hoping that studying Ahsoka Tano’s choices would help him on his path.

The poncho like coverup was just part of ensemble that he was considering. He needed pieces to wear under it, but he didn’t think he wanted them to be quite as fussy as her clothing seemed. 

For example, a belt as wide as the one she wore would start under his armpits and end at his knees. So he couldn’t do that. He’d be tripping all the time. And why did people even wear belts? Did their clothes not fit right? He understood why the Mandalorian had a belt or two, but they were for weapons, ammo, pouches, and the like. But Ahsoka only seemed to carrying around her lightsabers. Did the really wide belt with it’s straps and rings need all that embellishment to hold them? Grogu didn’t think so. 

Grogu did like the idea of a shirt and a pair of leg coverings. That would provide a lot more freedom of movement and he could have pockets in both pieces for important stuff like the silver knob and snacks. He always needed to plan for the future and that meant keeping snacks around because the Mandalorian sometimes got too caught up in the work to remember that food was what provided them all with the energy needed for the work. 

But the next question was which style of leg covering and shirt did he select? His dad wore pretty tight fitting pants because of the armor attachments and stuff like that, while Ahsoka wore leg coverings that seemed more like an umbrella that was closed up, if that made any sense. They had a lot of volume. He wondered what that was for? Maybe you could use them to float in water? Or perhaps you could store a lot of stuff in them? Or maybe they just looked nice? 

Grogu wondered if anyone made something in between. Not super tight, but not like a balloon either. With pockets. Lots of pockets. 

He had to admit that he really liked the top Ahsoka selected. It looked cool and comfortable. He didn’t think anyone else he’d ever met at the Jedi Temple had worn things like that. It was hard to say because everyone had a tunic and a jacket and a cape or a cloak that covered them all up. His only problem was he didn’t think that his dad would like that. Din seemed to be a keep everything covered up kind of guy and Grogu wasn’t sure if that meant he was adverse to seeing people’s skin or he was adverse to having people see his skin. He was glad that Ahsoka didn’t have the same concerns.

The one real dilemma he had when considering the styles of the two people who were with him right then and there, was that he din’t like having anything on his arms. Even the super soft material that the cuffs of his coverall were made out of annoyed him at times. He couldn’t imagine have vambraces or gauntlets or anything like that covering his arms. What good was stuff like that anyway? Sure, the Mandalorian’s armorer had added weapons to the vambraces as well as other gadgets, but Mandalorians already had a lot of weapons choices. Ahsoka didn’t seem to have any special purpose for the ones she wore. Maybe it was just a fashion thing? 

Grogu didn’t know and he didn’t really want to ask her. It was going to be hard enough to convince the Mandalorian that he needed new clothes. As far as Grogu could tell, Din Djarin was really good at repairing his clothing, although he seemed to ignore all the little holes, rips, and tears in his cape/blanket thing. The Mandalorian wasn’t just going to let him throw away the coverall and get something new. Maybe Grogu could talk him into making him some clothes once they were done with wherever they going next. 

Ahsoka had mentioned a rock on some other planet that Grogu could sit on and that would help him find another Jedi. Grogu didn’t think it was going to work but he was willing to humor his protector. Maybe after that he and the Mandalorian could go somewhere fun, like Naboo and go shopping. They deserved a break from being on dreary, beat up planets. He wanted to go someplace pretty and green where people had nice clothes and were friendly. 

That had to be the Way, right?
