Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 2): Bonus Poll: Continuity Overflow Match

Yuehiro| Identity: trans male | Media: Ronin Novel

Yuehiro is a 14 year old Twi’lek adopted into Lord Hanari’s Jedi clan. Despite all the evil stuff the Jedi of Ronin do, they were supportive of him changing his name and moving into the boy’s dormitory. As a Jedi, he is too curious for his own good and got in trouble attempting to investigate rumors about a Sith demon and disappearing Jedi bodies. He was part of a group of Jedi apprentices rescued by the crew of the Poor Crow when Lord Hanari’s flagship was destroyed, joining them on their journey to the lost planet of the Rei’zu. 

He is tied with Shogo (also from the Ronin novel) for being the first binary trans person in Star Wars.

Qlaern Hirf | Identity: alien nonbinary | Media: X-wing novels

Qlaern Hirf was a member of the Vratix species, an insectoid species without sex differentiation that invented bacta.

Qlaern represented the Ashern Circle to the New Republic and the group’s intention to join the new state. They informed Rogue Squadron of the location of deadly bacta aboard a space station. They produced a cure for the Imperial bioweapon Krytos virus for the New Republic.

I haven't done any new star war art this year, but i peaked with hot pants Wes Janson tbh.

Happy May the Fourth!

I could have done something recognisable for May the Fourth, but as always, I instead was compelled to draw Wes Janson with his whole ass out, for a joke that I and maybe three of my friends will understand.

It's honestly one of my favourite things I have ever drawn.

[d-dormant]

as much as i prefer the movie canon when it comes to maleficent and diaval meeting in the ruins, i find it kind of touching how in the novel she doesn't drive him out and instead just silently watches him preen and eat his corn right on the ground in front of her and eventually leave

[thatsouthernanthem]

drew the og ot3 as i traveled memory lane. for @kriffing bc they’re my biggest ot3 cheerleader.

Wes/Inyri/Hobbie (and all permutations therein) X-Wing throuple will be pried out of my cold dead fingers.

BOTW OC: Anya (Rito/Hylian)

Anya, an orphan residing on the outskirts of Rito Village, bears the weight of her mixed heritage – a combination of Rito and Hylian blood that has marked her as an outsider among the locals. Her origins trace back to a unique and controversial love story between her Hylian mother and her Rito warrior father.

Anya possesses a bold and adventurous spirit, driven by an unwavering determination that has endured despite years of isolation and rejection within her own Rito community. The shadows of her past cast a cloud over her self-confidence, yet she remains resolute in her quest to discover her true origins and purpose, to find solace amid the enigma of her existence.

Fiercely independent and unyielding in the face of adversity, Anya's spirit shines through her tenacity.  Anya shares a complex history with Revali, once childhood friends before their relationship took a tumultuous turn. During their youth, Revali's exceptional talents and the praise he received began to fuel a growing sense of superiority. This newfound self-assuredness led him to distance himself from Anya, convinced that her presence would only tarnish his reputation and hinder his pursuit of greatness. As the years passed, their once-strong friendship dissolved into a bitter rivalry, marred by deep-seated animosity and contempt. By the time adulthood arrived, Anya and Revali had become bitter adversaries, their past friendship now a distant memory.She refuses to be subdued by Revali's attempts to belittle or undermine her, consistently meeting his challenges head-on with a fiery resolve. Loyalty runs deep within her, and she is willing to make great sacrifices for the sake of her friends, embodying a sense of unwavering commitment.

Once she sets her sights on a goal, Anya becomes a force of unrelenting determination, ready to overcome any obstacle that stands in her path. Her primary objective in our story is to unravel the mysteries of her past, a pursuit fueled by her determination and the hope of finally finding inner peace amid the chaos of her existence. --------------------------------------------- I wanted to a colored version of her so you all could see what she looks like and get an idea of what I see when I draw her. I am new to color so be gentle haha. This is an original character (oc course) for a (Revali x OC) webcomic I have been working on. I post on my Deviantart page and Chapters 1,2 & 3 are already out.

I know what it's like to make efforts to stay in touch with my culture and respect my ancestors and that which came before me. At times you feel lost, half yourself, torn, and otherwise unsure of who you are. People guess, and try to make assumptions about you before they want to know and the world can be unkind. I use to be bullied when I was younger because of my family standing out in the community I grew up in but no matter what I tried to stay the course and only in recent years I have found a sense of harmony in all of it.

I created Anya not just a character in a fandom I love; But I want her to be an example and a reminder that, regardless of our origins, we all possess the power to shine brightly. That we can be propelled by the legacy of our ancestors. I myself am a mixed kid (O'odham and Mexican) and hope that it resonates as I write more on how she moves forward to uncover her past and embrace her unique heritage, It can serve as a testament to the resilience and strength that lie within us all.

Happy release anniversary to X-Wing: Isard's Revenge, published this day in 1999! Mike Stackpole's last foray in the series picks up from the final battle of the Thrawn Trilogy — and sees Rogue Squadron form an uneasy alliance with the dangerous Imperial spymaster, Ysanne Isard...

"The Isards make their own luck."

The New Republic has no love for Imperial Warlords, but Wedge Antilles, Corran Horn and the Rogues will risk all to bring home prisoners of war!

You Have My Attention: X-Wing Series First Lines

In the many, many series that comprise the Star Wars EU (the Legends Canon since Disney decanonized it in 2014), the X-Wing series is an interesting case because it is fairly cleanly bifurcated between two X-wing squadrons and two authors, and yet the series as a whole--and the characters who cross over between authors--feel remarkably consistent. That's a feat in and of itself, as anyone who has read over the shift from Robert Jordan to Brandon Sanderson in the Wheel of Time can attest.

My clear preference is for Aaron Allston's writing style and the Wrait Squadron missions, but I know readers who dearly love Stackploe's Rogue Squadron as well. So let's take a look at how these authors grab readers with their first lines!

"You're good, Corran, but you're no Luke Skywalker."

-- Rogue Squadron

"Even before his X-wing's sensors had time to scan and identify the new ship, Corran Horn knew he was in trouble."

-- Wedge's Gamble

"Commander Wedge Antilles would have preferred the ceremony to be private."

-- The Krytos Trap

"Somehow the dead of night amplified the lightsaber's hiss, allowing it to fill the room."

-- The Bacta War

"Twelve X-wing snubfighters roared down into the atmosphere."

-- Wraith Squadron

"He made no pretense at being fully human."

-- Iron Fist

"Naval Lieutenant Jart Eyan looked rested and cheerful."

-- Solo Command

"Sithspawn! When his X-wing reverted to realspace before the countdown timer had reached zero, Corran Horn knew Thrawn had somehow managed to outguess the New Republic yet one more time."

-- Isard's Revenge

"She was beautiful and fragile and he could not count the number of times he had told her he loved her."

-- Starfighters of Adumar

"Imperial Admiral Kosh Teradoc paused, irritated and self-conscious, just outside the entryway into the club."

-- Mercy Kill

Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 1): Bonus Poll

(This is the final poll in the three way contest between the nonbinary aliens from Legends.)

Garr | Identity: alien nonbinary | Media: Boba Fett: Crossfire

Garr was a young member of the Excargan species, which didn’t have sex differentiation until they were thirteen. Their parents were captured by the Separatists when Excarga was invaded, and the Republic put them on an orphanage transport ship where they met a young Boba Fett. They became Boba’s first friend, who was the only person who didn’t treat them weirdly for being genderless. When they arrived at the orphanage, Aurra Sing appeared and captured both of them. She only spared Garr because Boba Fett said they were his friend, despite then telling Garr they weren’t his friend to get them to leave Boba alone. Instead, Garr went to the Jedi who ran the orphanage and joined them pursuing Boba and Aurra Sing. Aurra almost killed them, but spared them at Boba’s insistence.
