She needed more midwife-clorians. 

I really hope everyone reblogging this followed the link and read the article, because it’s larger point is really good “Reproductive health and childbirth is a crutch, and Lucas gets away with it because his audience accepts that these things are mysterious and cannot be intervened with the way that that the loss of limbs can be remedied with robot prosthetics, or the way Luke can be rescued from near-death on Hoth by being submerged in a bacta tank. Having babies is worse than being mauled by a wampa ice creature or being chopped up by lightsabers and falling into a river of lava. Lucas can write a world like that, and worse, the audience will accept it. But uteruses aren’t made of malignant magic. Women’s bodies are real physical things that can be studied and understood and when necessary, cured. ”

IDK about everyone else, but I’ve actually been certified as a doula and childbirth educator and worked in women’s health media for most of a decade.  All points valid, but “Help me OB-GYN Kenobi” broke me.

And this is how you can tell a story was written by men because pre-natal healthcare never even occurred to the writer. Women’s insides are a mysterious and magical place that no man either can fathom, or just just not want to think about, so in stories like this they just handwave it away as” dying in childbirth”.

Help me, OB-GYN Kenobi.

I love how everyone’s like YES ALL POINTS VALID

But

“Help me OB-GYN Kenobi”

to be fair, it is a brilliantly executed pun

“Chirrut wears a Jedha pendant of reforged gold depicting an ancient starbird symbol only recently modified by the Rebel Alliance.”

I love the manifold and conflicting/overlapping starbird-symbol origins present in new canon, because it parallels the nature of symbols in the real world. The Rebellion’s insignia probably did evolve from Sabine Wren’s phoenix, but likely part of its wide appeal was due to the conscious or unconscious resemblance to a very old, perhaps ubiquitous religious symbol.

the only explanation i can come up with for how obi wan missed anakin’s extremely obvious and up front mental illnesses is that he himself is also wildly depressed and just thinks everyone has to deal with this shit

anakin: i want to fucking die

obi wan: we ALL want to die anakin don’t be so dramatic

He-lloo! I know I haven’t posted any art in like — looks at her notes — a year?! More? 😅

Been chipping away at this in my free time, and it’s finally done! My favorite space couple dressed in space ponchos, probably having a tense conversation before shit hits the fan and they need to get down to business 🔫🔫🔫

listen. padme amidala is a freak, okay. ever since aotc i’ve had to listen to bullshit arguments about how awful the prequel romance is, how anakin’s a red flag, blah blah blah. that’s a smooth brain take. first of all, of course he’s a red flag. that’s the point. you think padme doesn’t know anakin is ten pounds of mommy issues in a five pound bag? you think she looked at soggy weeping anakin begging her to love him and didn’t immediately think “yes i definitely will peg him” ?? you think just because she’s a queen turned senator that she isn’t just as horny and feral as he is? anakin wasn’t even pushy about it. he was just “oh btw i’ve been obsessed with you for a decade and live in a perpetual state of emotional agony but thats okay whatever you want is fine with me haha” and padme goes “yea okay i’m into that.” two minutes after he’s assigned to be her bodyguard she gives an obligatory little “i have a bad feeling about this” and then just fucking marries him. this is a woman who wore white to a blood bath. come on.

#I like the prequels more now that I’ve decided to stop trying to shoehorn any character’s behaviors into normal boxes #and instead just asked myself ‘what kind of person would make these choices’ and see the characters as that #Padme seriously wore a black corset to tell him she was very into him but they would not be fucking #instead of saying oh my god who DOES that #I just instead ask myself ‘who does that’ and realize that explains a lot more #here is this wealthy educated and perhaps a little vain woman who sees her childhood hick charitycase friend grew up as a hot goth jock #and oh no he’s still space racist and awkward and yet she goes harder for him after finding that out #she’s absolutely a freak #her being a freak is actually the most polite way to interpret her character #because it intersects so interestingly with this virgin child queen who crowned the emperor shit that’s her actual legacy #to be honest I still have no clue what Lucas intended to say with these characters but tehyre a lot more fun once you turnoff preconceptions #the OT trilogy are adorable and iconic but the PT trio are great because theres something fucking wrong with all of them #just comically tragically the dumbest combination of disordered behavior from a group of protagonists #the OT trio are unlikely but largely successful heroes! The PT trilogy are hyper-competent child geniuses who grew up to be #heavily decorated and famous heroes who break the entire setting forever and I love that for them!

shout out to @superstardestroyer for having the most correct star wars opinion on this website

I think I'm gonna try to go see ROTJ in the theater tonight. I don't think I'd be half as big a star wars fan today if I hadn't gone with my mom to see it (probably at this same theater) in 1997. I'm also totally mad and sad we can't go together this time, bc of course we would. It's her favorite one too, the one we quote all the time, the one she liked so much bc it's pure "good guys stomping bad guys". It's gonna be completely bizarre to see it without her, probably, but wiuldnt it be weirder to not go at all?
