rebellions are built on hope

cassian andor supremacy 💗

[hightowerflorent]

From the moment I met you, all those years ago, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again… I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you… I can't breathe. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating… hoping that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul, tormenting me… what can I do? I will do anything you ask. If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me.

Re-watching Rebels and have fallen in love with Kanan Jarrus (Caleb Dume) all over again.

He may not always be right, but he's always trying. Like when he first tries to train Ezra.

He may not always be the perfect level-headed jedi, but he listens and deals with his emotions in a healthy way. Like how he initially feels about joining the rebellion and seeing clones again.

He may not be the most powerful, but he hasn't properly used the Force in a decade and then he trains to get better, not only for himself, but so that he can be the best teacher for Ezra. The Inquisitor says it outright and we can also see how much he improves through the show.

Also, his relationship with Hera is just so functional. Love him, love Kanera, love the whole Space Family.

star wars reading marathon continues.

entering my disney canon thrawn era, but I prefer heir to empire enormously at least right now

i notice with timothy zahn’s writing that sometimes the payoff takes a long time to get to, which I actually like, but it can make some of the reading difficult in the moment and more worthwhile in retrospect

full review pending

you’re reckless, little one

[lesbians4kanan]

The opening of A New Dawn is so immediately tragic! The signal to go home, little Caleb Dune having little boy dreams about being a Jedi Master and fighting Sith and even then looking at the unexpected side of things (being his pessimistic self even from a young age haha).

Obviously it’s like, retroactive foreshadowing, but there’s something so devastating about Caleb Dume, as young and overconfident as every other youngling, being struck with that little shadow of foreboding, almost foreseeing the tragedy for a moment. Ugh no one look at me the tragedy of Kanan Jarrus

@giftober 2023 | DAY #18: ROMANCE

He saw the Twi'lek's cloak nearby, pinned beneath a heavy girder. She did leave me a souvenir, after all. With great effort, he pulled the metal aside. He took the garment into his hands and held it up. It was a good find, he thought, as he turned to stagger out of the alley. Because he was starting to believe she had never been there.

He stopped thinking that when he stepped out into the street—and found himself looking into her eyes.

"Ah," she said, seeing her cloak.

"Ah," he repeated. Kanan stood frozen, studying her under the bright light of the moon. She was shorter than he was, with deep green skin, full lips, and a chin that came to a pleasing point. She wore a gray pilot's hat that allowed exit for two head-tails that hung at a little more than shoulder-length. She wore a brown vest, gold-colored slacks with utility pockets, and black gloves that matched the cloak in her hands.

"I knew I'd forgotten something," she said, removing the garment from his hands so deftly he barely noticed she'd done it. Then she looked at him with concern. "You okay there?"

Kanan nodded.

"You speak Basic?"

"Words fail me."

She smiled. "So they do."

I just want you to know. I was crying for a good 40 minutes after this monologue. I am so proud of him.

CASSIAN ANDOR & JYN ERSO ROGUE ONE (2016) dir. Gareth Edwards ☆ happy (belated) birthday to the so vv lovely sissi @andorerso <3

[coppermarigolds]

I kind of love how Andor is setting up Jyn to essentially be "third time's the charm" for Cassian. Twice now during Andor, he's made the mistake of shortsightedly wanting to leave the Rebellion and trying to convince the women in his life to leave with him. He tried it with Maarva in season 1 and with Bix in season 2. Both times, both women had to essentially redirect him, remind him the Rebellion was more important.

But then it all comes full circle in Rogue One, where Cassian is finally fully committed to the Rebellion. And in barrels Jyn, who's a mirror of what Cassian used to be: wants to just do "enough," then tap out and live on some Outer Rim planet as far from the Empire as possible.

And this time Cassian finally gets it right: his refusal to abandon Jyn helps her come around to the cause, and now they're both fully committed. Full circle.

"I am very glad I had the chance to go through this journey with [Felicity] because it's something new for both of us. The size of this film can be very scary and I was very lucky to have her next to me, always there to grab my hand and go 'Oh my god. Here we are. Let's make sure we stick together.'"

Andor 2.10 - Make It Stop

[mountainsoftreatos]

I appreciate that Andor and Rogue One showed us that the bad guys aren't having a good time. Oppression is unimaginative, dull, shallow, reductive. The lies required to sustain it chafe against the moral conscience. And every scheming military officer working for the glory of the Empire is one misstep away from being tossed into the destructive machine they helped create - and they know it.
