why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure we’ve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but like…
rainbow mountains (peru)
red soil (canada/PEI)
rings (saturn’s if they were on earth)
bioluminescent waves
northern lights (canada)
salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)
and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and don’t get me started on BUGS like… we have bugs cooler than sw aliens
BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species
I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:
Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar
Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)
Chocolate Hills, Philippines
Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland
So many missed opportunities with cool ass things on Earth, Lucasfilms smh…
Earth is effing amazing!
Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina
Lake Retba, Senegal
Tepui, Venezuela
Tianzi Mountains, China
these would make amazing Star Wars planets OR fantasy material:
Tsingy du Bemaraha, Madagascar again (but a different part)
(those are razor-sharp, if you were wondering. very little of this area has been explored because YIKES)
Lake Natron, Tanzania
(looks cool, but is alkaline enough to Kill Your Shit)
Lake Baikal, Russia
(the deepest lake in the world, seriously)
and I’ll wrap it up with Son Doong Cave, Vietnam, the largest cave in the entire world.
it puts anything Dagobah has to offer to absolute shame:
(seriously, the largest chamber is 660 feet high. you could jam a fucking skyscraper in there and still lose it)
anyway I really like caves thanks for coming to my ted talk

I’m blown away. Stunning
Of him the harpers sadly sing: the last whose realm was fair and free between the Mountains and the Sea.
I still don’t know where the whole “Maglor was the nicest Son of Fëanor” idea came from
Anyone wanna enlightened me?
Idk about ‘nicest’, but I’m sure his attitude shift* after the third Kinslaying must get him lots of characterization points, at least wrt being the least delusional/more considerate! I know it does with me, at least :)
What I mean is that I hear it said a lot that Maglor had “more of his mother’s gentle spirit” in him than the others and something about him being calmer and more rational than his brothers but I districtly remember that he was counted among the brothers who took part in all the kinslayings (which was all anyway so obviously), the burning of the ships and who would have started shit with the House of Fingolfin again hadn’t Maedhros sent them away.
My question for the fandom is to explain to me where EXACTLY this came from, with sources preferably, so I can understand it better. I’m not against it, I just wanna know if it’s canon or headcanon.
OK, here’s what I think is the (admittedly small) canon Maglor characterisation list (I think all of this is published Silmarillion:
Keep reading
To add to what @cycas has laid out, Maglor’s failure to send any rescue for Maedhros could be construed as weakness or pessimism rather than lack of niceness (though I like the headcanon that he may have sent out failed attempts). He may have believed it was impossible to rescue his brother, and gave up too easily. I agree that killing Ulfang and holding Maglor’s Gap make him tougher as a warrior and more able as a military leader than some imagine him.
It is how his story ends that is most in his favour, and I don’t think it has to do with gentleness or “niceness”. It has to do with compassion (adopting Elrond and Elros), and I would like to think that how well the twins turned out, all things considered, is not only because of their amazing lineage but because Maglor did a decent job of raising them right.
I believe the clincher for Maglor’s reputation as gentle or peaceable or nice comes from that “attitude shift” @crocordile mentioned. Maglor argues for turning themselves in to the Valar –“for his heart was sorrowful. He hopes and yearns, after all the senseless slaughter, that “we shall come into our own in peace”. At the end, he wanders by the sea singing “in pain and regret”. Unlike his brothers, Maglor’s tale does not end with him just as a kinslayer. His ending in profound guilt and remorse gives him a redemptive arc that has made me love him since I read Silm at 12. So, maybe he’s not gentle, maybe not nice, but after three kinslayings (plus the two guards at the tent), he shows at the end that he regained or managed to retain his essential goodness and humanity.
What I find so interesting about him raising the twins and his attitude shift in general is that it came RIGHT on the heels of the kinslaying that killed his TWIN BROTHERS (if you go by the version where Fëanor didn’t accidentally burn one of them).
If anything, this seems to indicate that seeing the twins dead and then seeing the other twins alive whacked him over the head like “look at the bullshit you’ve done”.
I dunno, this makes me think he wasn’t more compassionate than the others but…stayed saner in the long run. Like, he was more aware of what they’d done than the rest (sans Maedhros but Maedhros was too broken to think he could change anything, I wager).
Plus, regretting three kinslayings after the fact seems weak to me. Don’t get me wrong, I love him to death, but I’ll never be convinced that participating in three kinslayings before regretting them somehow makes him a good person. Regret doesn’t erase the deed itself.
The Fëanorians were not good people. Maglor is not a good person. He didn’t redeem himself, he only decided to choose his own punishment.
How far you want to push the interpretation of ‘not good people’ really depends on your reading of the Oath. If the oath was just an oath in the sense we use it in the real world, then the Feanorians are pretty scary people indeed, Maedhros included: Maedhros was their commander. He can’t be exempted from blame, under that argument. However, note what Finrod does, when he is bound by an oath. Note that Maedhros tried to forswear the oath and it tormented him. Note that there are 26 years between the attack on Doriath and the attack on the Havens, during which time, the Feanorian forces lie directly between the Havens and Angband. Note how the ‘lies’ that Melkor spreads in Valinor are described as ‘seeds’ that spring up and have a life of their own. This is a universe in which people have battles of song, where the entire universe was created by words, where Bilbo beginning the ownership of the Ring with Pity and Mercy has a huge, fundamental effect on its power thereafter. For me, the Oath of Feanor and his sons is not the same as an ordinary promise that anyone could make and then later choose to break. It’s a spell, just as Finrod’s oath was. And that has implications for blame. And coming back to pity and mercy: Maglor cannot undo three kinslayings. All he *can* do by the end is regret them, which he does.
Gollum swore on the Ring in Lord of the Rings. When he did, Frodo warned him that the Ring was treacherous and would hold him to his word. The Ring was a fraction of the power of a maia. The Fëanorions swore by 2 valar and Eru himself. That’s not something you can just walk away from in this world.
Silmarillion pages 03-04
“Sucedió entonces que mientras los Valar descansaban de sus trabajos y contemplaban el crecimiento y el desarrollo de las cosas que habían concebido e iniciado, Manwë ordenó que hubiese una gran fiesta y los Valar y todas sus huestes acudieron a la llamada.”

“Now it came to pass that while the Valar rested from their labours, and watched the growth and unfolding of the things that they had devised and begun, Manwë ordained a great feast; and the Valar and an their host came at his bidding.”

“Now Melkor began the delving and building of a vast fortress, deep under Earth, beneath dark mountains where the beams of Illuin were cold and dim. That stronghold was named Utumno. And though the Valar knew naught of it as yet, nonetheless the evil of Melkor and the blight of his hatred flowed out thence, and the Spring of Arda was marred”.
“Entonces Melkor empezó a cavar, y construyó una vasta fortaleza muy hondo bajo la Tierra, por debajo de las montañas oscuras donde los rayos de Illuin eran fríos y débiles.
Esa ciudadela recibió el nombre de Utumno. Y aunque los Valar aún no sabían nada de ella, la maldad de Melkor y el daño de su odio brotaron desde allí alrededor y marchitaron la Primavera de Arda”.
