>Fisher said she liked Cushing so much that it was difficult to act as though she hated Tarkin,[120] and she had to substitute somebody else in her mind to muster the feelings. Although one of her lines referred to Tarkin’s “foul stench,” she said the actual actor smelled like “linen and lavender,” something Cushing attributed to his tendency to wash and brush his teeth thoroughly before filming because of his self-consciousness about bad breath.
Is that “can’t keep a straight face smile” or a “sempai is touching me!” smile?
I can’t get enough of this.
Need this for my feels today. And I would like to thank Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford for giving us what JJ Abrams didn’t.
PRAISE THE LORD
Han is all “there’s to much Vader in him,” without mentioning that there is too much Vader in Leia too.
Like, Bail Organa, bless his poor poor soul, tried to politician the Vader out of her. He tried SO FUCKING HARD.
But the fact that she abandoned politics to be a General in the Resistance says a lot about her similarities to Anakin Skywalker.
See, people get it wrong. They assume because Luke got the blond hair and the lightsaber that he is Anakin’s child. He’s not. He’s Padme’s.
Leia, though. Leia is very much Anakin’s child. She is the one with the deep anger in her. She is the one who will bring peace to her new empire freedom and justice back to the galaxy whether the galaxy wants it or not. She is the one who commands armies and amasses followers as easy as breathing. She joined the Rebellion while she was in her teens. She is the one with the spirit of a warrior.
Don’t get me wrong; Bail Organa did his damnedest to raise her in the mold of her mother, fighting her battles in the halls of power with words as her weapons. And she was very good at it. But unlike Padme, Leia’s words always had an edge to them, her tone and meaning always a little too sharp, a little too angry.
Peace and mercy are the trademarks of Luke and Padme. Justice and order, obtained by whatever means necessary, are the marks of Leia and Anakin.

So I was thinking about Star Wars the other day, as you do, and I had an entirely non-canon but interesting idea:
(more…)
Took me a while to decide how to best wish everyone a Happy Star Wars Day. How about with some awesome lady Stormtrooper portraits by Drew Baker?
May the Fourth be with you!
reminder: gwendoline christie is 6′3, making phasma Big
a tall, mean, armed woman ? phasma was made w me in mind
I like that Phasma is huge and physically powerful. Hollywood tends to want to fill every female part with waifs, and while it’s good to see waifs take some power, it’s also nice to see the roles of warrior women be filled by women who are clearly well suited to the job (and who have been shaped by the work and the training). As a side note, I loved the moment when a female voice came from the mask of a completely generic storm trooper. Representation.
