POCKET SAND!

[the-far-bright-center]

On the importance of Qui-Gon and his role in the story:

It’s been a while now since I’ve written about this character, but recently my husband and I were discussing the Prequels (and especially The Phantom Menace), and we both heartily agreed that Qui-Gon Jinn is a truly brilliant addition to the saga, both from a storytelling and ‘in-story’ perspective. Not only is he a compelling figure to watch on-screen (thanks to the mesmerizing Liam Neeson), but he is also an ingenious way of introducing us to the Twilight of the Republic-era Jedi—via someone who is, by that point, considered a ‘maverick’ in comparison to the rest of the Jedi Order.

This is a very clever approach, because it means that we actually experience the entire first half of The Phantom Menace from Qui-Gon’s perspective. Throughout our journey with him—during which time he comes to the aid of many beings, from the hapless Jar-Jar, to Queen Amidala, to a slave-boy and his mother on Tatooine, all while simultaneously on a spiritual quest of his own (aka, to find the Chosen One)—we come to admire a Jedi who is everything that we, as viewers who had only ever seen the Original Trilogy, would expect a Jedi to be.  It is only after Qui-Gon’s arrival on Coruscant (when we are met by the comparatively cold, closed, and standoffish Jedi Council), that we realize that…oh… this wonderful, warm, openly-caring, and compassionate Jedi who we ASSUMED must certainly be the ’norm’, is actually anything but.

I’m watching SWR for the first time around and I can’t get over that season 2 finale

[lindyjbaker]

My brother: “I need commercials to watch this. Like I need a break to process.”

[lindyjbaker]

Ok so I told my brother about how many notes this got and he just says, “Dang son.”

Mom: So, what do you want for Christmas?

Me: Another season of The Clone Wars.

[amysnogbox]

Still true.

Christmas came in July, folks.

I keep thinking about that opening shot in the trailer, the line of troopers walking away reflected in Rex’s bucket, walking towards something, without their helmets, without their blasters - and I’m probably over-analyzing it, but…. I can’t stop thinking about it. Is it reminiscent, symbolic, of the war’s end, so their purpose is now at an end, too? Ghosts of soldiers, born to die, having fulfilled their true purpose, fading into the shadows and mist?

Or is it a mass desertion? Turning their backs on the war, the battlefields, as one?

Or is it simply the first movements towards the execution of the Order?

….I can’t stop thinking about it.

Peggy Carter deserved more than a cancelled tv show, one minute long funeral and Steve kissing her niece like four hours later.

Wandered into an article with 140 iconic cinematic shots, the comments complained there was no explanation to their composition. Decided to give it a run down and keep it to myself. 

The compositions are mostly self explanatory but I wanted to see what patterns I could find. That’s just how you learn stuffs.

As ever the best jedi remains qui gon for engineering a disaster that would ruin the universe but dying before he had to face any consequences for his actions
