We don’t talk about Leia killing Jabba enough. Her grandmother and father were born into slavery. Her blood was that of the desert sand and the shackles of bondage. Leia was never more a Skywalker than the day she strangled her slave master with the very chains he used to bind her. The daughter of Anakin Skywalker was the one who killed Tatooine’s most notorious slaver, and I find that really beautiful.
The Only Important Rule To Remember:
Sadly, we must bid goodbye to Rebelcaptain. Allow me to salute all of the wonderful, dedicated Rebelcaptain fans who fought so valiantly for them. You got them into the final three! 🫡
…and then there were two.
This. Is. It.
It’s the battle of the Obi-Wan ships.
Will the winner be Obikin?
Or will it be Codywan?
Cast your votes for the last time to decide, once and for all... what is the best Star Wars ship of all time?
...oh, but remember, this is all just for fun! So don't take it too seriously ;)
Happy voting, and may the best ship win!
The Rules:
It breaks my heart to say it, but Stormpilot/Finnpoe has been eliminated. However, they had a fantastic run, and the boys are now free to set off to a better, alternative universe where Disney weren’t cowards Finnpoe was canon.
We are getting so close to the end. Time for Round Ten.
The Rules:
It’s a sad day; it’s time to bit adieu to Kanera. Space Mom and Space Dad finally got outvoted.
But I’m sure they’re very proud of you all for how long you kept them afloat. Well done, Kanera stans!
We’re getting closer and closer to the end… is everyone ready for Round Nine? Because it’s here already!
I love you trans women I am sorry about the world
let's face it, Obi-Wan is only a stickler for the rules in comparison to Anakin. this guy thought lightsaber nunchucks were cool as a teenager and jumping out of politicians windows was cool as an adult. he regularly sasses the chancellor of the republic. he saw Anakin and Padmé being super obvious and decided it was none of his business. he sits pussy facing the world in important meetings. hes's a lonely single in your area. he won one (1) fight against a sith lord and decided they were his speciality despite getting his ass handed to him by Dooku multiple times. he's annoying on purpose as a battle strategy. every man he meets desires him carnally and he doesn't notice. he puts one foot on Han Solos ship and is like "damn bitch you live like this" despite having spent 20 years in a desert hole. he gets himself killed to one-up Vader one last time. he's winning the idgaf war
An hour ago we had like a 7% lead what happened 😭
Remember when The Mandalorian first came out and it had new characters in a new storyline and it had its own music that didn't reuse anything from the old themes and when old shit like an AT-ST showed up they portrayed it like a fire-breathing dragon rising from the dark and it was all new and all so fun and Star Wars seemed like it was so fucking back
And then Disney realized they could Wolverine the shit out of this guy and it was all over in just three years
Me @ Dave Filoni (terrified of the answer he’s going to give me)

Star Wars: How the prequel trilogy mirrored and rhymed the original
I am actually crying right now because this is perfect.
Awesome!
wait are you telling me that the cinematography in the Star Wars prequels was designed to 1:1 reflect the shots in the original trilogy in order to tie the series together bc DAMN WOW
Yes, absolutely.
“These aren’t merely just visually similar moments. They are carefully composed—in fact, the whole scenes in which they appear had to be carefully staged so that the key moments could be composed—in a direct symmetrical reflection of the earlier shots that Lucas wanted to quote.
What is this point of this? [Mike] Kilmo has his Ring Theory which describes structural reasons for the patterns. I’ve always thought of it more in musical terms, because that’s how Lucas describes it. He describes these moments as the same melody or theme, but played on different instruments. And what is the purpose of it when a particular melody is reprised in an opera, but given a different interpretation? To compare and contrast the two different moments, to mark the differences and create subtextual meaning.
In the case of these particular moments, he is creating bookends for the story of the entire saga. First, the murder of Qui-Gon by a Sith, which is what leads to Obi-Wan training Anakin and all the misfortune that follows, and this is inverted by Vader’s eventual sacrifice where he is able to turn back to Anakin again, and he dies himself. Pulling these two moments together by making these shots direct quotations of one another tells the story of the entire saga in miniature, and it’s beautiful to see.” [x]
very sad how star wars is slowly changing the narrative from "the jedi were victims of a genocide planned by a geriatric fascist" to "well but maybe they would have lived if they'd disposed of the very things that make them jedi to begin with, so they're kind of at fault??"
i wish george never sold sw and just buried it in his backyard or something
Anyone have any recs where the Fetts are Maori/pacific islander???
Six months in a leaky boat by passeridae (@ossidae-passeridae)
Modern, apocalyptic setting, 47k words. Please give this fic some love so that more people can find it because it's amazing. Obi-Wan starts out as Cody's annoying colleague. Fun words to learn (for me, at least). Surprisingly detailed instructions in case you were planning to set up a pirate radio station. I've read this a few months back and three of the mentioned songs have made it on my Spotify wrapped. I think about this fic a lot. I hate Mel Gibson so as of now I haven't watched Mad Max, it's not a prerequisite, just read it I don't know what else to tell ya, this is my best sales pitch
Fascinating that everyone who's mentioned this has then told me a different thing they found surprising about my take on the IRA in that fic 😂
(I was originally going to have a whole subplot about Plo and the PLO -- who were very close to the IRA and would share resistance tips and train fighters together etcetc, but alas it had to be cut.)

I forgot to add @brigitttt 's amazing Pacific Rim AU (Slow Waters) to this list!
It is a series with 2 works, totalling 47k words that absolutely captures the spirit of Pacific Rim and everything that makes the concept of drifting together an addictive formula.
Jedi are absolute adrenaline junkies at their hearts of hearts and I respect that.
#not to make like. meaningful meta out of this#but like#if you could feel the fabric of the universe and you’d been raised practically since birth to trust in it and you KNEW it loved you#wouldn’t you be??#why not jump just to feel the swoop if you know the Force will catch you?
I’m sorry @merlyn-bane but your tags passed the peer review because they make the idea outright beautiful
I do appreciate that Obi Wan fans seem to have all agreed that he has red hair when in reality there is not a single strand of red hair on Ewan McGregor’s head and animated Obi Wan’s hair is entirely brown too. I don’t understand it, I don’t know where it came from but I am here for the collective delusion.
Behold:
His hair isn't flaming red, more of an auburn, which is definitely considered to be red.
They certainly capture it in TCW as well, which can be seen in standard lighting.
Enjoy your ginger king, guys.
