#we deserved to see Leia kick the Senate into a good working New Republic

Sometimes, I really want an animated show about the OT characters. Their adventures, serious and silly, as they become friends and family long before Luke and Leia discover that they're siblings. Stories about Leia struggling with going from princess to general. Luke struggling with being a Jedi and a commander. The Rogue Squadron and their adventures. Han and Chewie barely keeping up with the Space Twin shenanigans.
But, then I remember how each of these characters were treated in the Sequel Trilogy, and I realise that it doesn't matter. No amount of stories about them will change the fact that they all die alone away from each other, that they gave up their childhood, their homes, themselves to the safety of the galaxy and that none of it ever mattered. And I can't enjoy canon stories about them because it won't change their ending, and I can't forget that.
#sequel trilogy#this is not really anti sequel trilogy because i dont hate it but i really dislike how the OT characters were portrayed#luke skywalker#leia organa#han solo#chewbacca#lando calrissian#they ALL deseved better#i have to live in a worls where Luke abandoned his sister and i just refuse to believe he would do that#the fact that they made Leia wait for Luke has sooo angry because she deserved better than to be abandoned by her brother and best friend#and do NOT get me started on the divorce!!!#pro jedi#we deserved to see Luke thriving as a Jedi because you know he would#we deserved to see Leia kick the Senate into a good working New Republic#Han should've been a house-husband and i stick by that#Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy deserved to outlive him#also i know the comics exist but they're barely considered canon unless the writer for a new live action SW project#wants to steal the comic writer's stories without compensation
