Featured Article: Han/Luke

This week’s Featured Article, we’re spotlighting Han/Luke! The evolution of this Star Wars ship is an intriguing piece of fandom history by itself.

Once upon a time in the early 80s, publishing Han Solo/Luke Skywalker fic was met with swift resistance and even boycott threats. In the 1970s and 1980s, all slash fanfiction, even non-explicit, was considered adult and fell under Lucasfilm's prohibition against adult content. As a result, the majority of Han/Luke fanfic was not published until the 1990s.

Fast forward to 2015, The Force Awakens was released featuring an older Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in small yet pivotal roles. Younger generation fans started jumping on the ship – now more commonly referred as Skysolo.

I genuinely believe that the new SW trilogy wouldn’t have flopped out into irrelevance like it did if they hadn’t dumped Finn on the side of the freeway like a new pet rabbit the week after easter

[teaboot]

Anyway in my heart Finn became a Jedi alongside Rey and inspired a Stormtrooper insurrection and Kyle Ron went back to his mom like he should have day fucking one and that angry redhead dude blew up with the star destroyer and Poe got to make it happen and at the end Rey doesn’t give a shit who her bitch ass non-palpatine parents might have been because she gets her new family like she needed and palpatine stays dead at the bottom of his musty hole like he should have and Finn and Poe give each other approximately 130% the amount of lingering meaningful looks and then one of their run-together-to-reunite moments results in a heat-of-the-moment make out like it should have and Luke and Leia meet in person a minimum of once so she can sibling slap him at least once for being a useless dramatic old hermit for a billion years and tell him to get the Chanel boots back on and stop being a sad hobo and then for no reason at all there is an ewok style moon of Endor forest party at the end like God intended

feeling like him

[wellsbering]

imagine your ex who you haven't seen in a decade (since he stole your car) shows up at your house. in the car. the one he stole from you. it looks like shit. your ex asks you to fix the broken car. then he tells you that the hot girl with him and his buddy (the one that helped him steal the car) is his new girlfriend. she is a member of the royal family and she looks capable of murdering you AND your ex with rage alone. you try to say hi. she does not say hi. no one admits it out loud, but you get the feeling that they're all running from the cops and they all want to hide out in YOUR house.

this is what happened to lando calrissian in the empire strikes back

Joking aside, the Millennium Falcon is not the space fantasy equivalent of a busted-ass old panel van.

The Millennium Falcon is the space fantasy equivalent of a busted-ass old panel van that's inexplicably been hot-rodded to have a top speed of 300 miles per hour, which is substantially funnier.

Star Wars: The Tragedy of the Clones

[tpwrtrmnky]

The reactionary backlash to media analysis is a natural part of the wider "fascists hate anything intellectual" phenomenon, btw.

Wanting you to ignore the politics of Star Wars comes from the same exact place that wants you to substitute the germ theory of disease with the 'sickness comes from failure to be a good christian and most people who claim to be sick are just faking anyway' myth.

[ohnoitstbskyen]

To take a quote from Dan Olson:

They don't want these complexities to exist, and by talking about them, you make them exist. It's a form of magical thought. Talking about police brutality wills police brutality into existence. A disruption of the status quo is seen as a disruption of the natural order. The problem they see is that no-one has made those people shut up. That is what they want: someone to come in and make those people shut up and go away, to put things back "where they belong." [...] Their will is a hammer that they are using to beat reality itself into a shape of their choosing, a simple world where reality is exactly what it looks like through their eyes, devoid of complexity, devoid of change, where they are right and their enemies are silent. They are trying to build a flat earth.

ANDOR | MAKE IT STOP (2x10) - dir. Alonso Ruizpalacios

[rayroo1223]

There was a detail in WIDS that I haven't seen people talk about. When Remus enters the scene, he rises up. Normally he just appears, just like Virgil, but in this case, he rises up.

The only way a side like Remus can rise up is if they came up from a main three's room!

So, we have three options of where he came from: Patton, Roman, or Logan.

Let's start with the most obvious and story driven: Logan. Remus was the one who instigated Logan to scream at him, revealing the ever elusive orange eyes. He obvious has great interest in that. This could mean that he's working with the mandarin menace, or at least wants him to be revealed. He could have meddled with something in Logans room to make it happen. Janus's repression tactic probably gave Remus the opportunity to do that without being noticed.

As for Roman and Patton? I don't know, he's bored? Might have played DDR and/or made a mess in their rooms. I don't know.

These are speculative at best, but we know this: Remus has a great interest in Logan's orange eyes and getting him to scream, and he rose up when he normally appears.

Thoughts?

[ambiguous-hue]

Ooohhh... This is fascinating! 💚 My money's definitely on Logan's room. (Janus wasn't there to play DDR and it's only fun the fafo in Ro's room when there's the chance Ro will catch him.)

I need to rewatch this because I didn't notice how Virgil and Janus joined the scene. Subconsciously, it felt like they were all rising up as though they were all accepted/on the brink of acceptance. (That could also be a hefty serving of my own biases.)

On that note: I am unconvinced Remus is as 'forbidden' as he's been in the past. While he had a piece of duct tape over his mouth (imagining a bit of yellow lint from Janis' gloves there), he was not otherwise blocked from joining them.

And I will not shut up about the fact that Thomas never denied Remus was right, he simply say he also wanted to pursue something romantic with Nico.
