“Alright, kid. Hang on. You ready for an adventure?”

i know it’s super insignificant but i’ve always wondered about the “we’ll pay you the rest when we reach alderaan” part because did obi-wan really have this much money stashed away or was he just planning to go “hello bail, old friend, nice to see you again, it’s been years, pay for my cab please?”

[irhinoceri]

It’s even funnier because in the audio drama he and Han have a debate about money and he tells Han he’s gotten along just fine all his life without money, and asks Han, “Have you seen a single credit pass through my hands?” and Han is like, “Uh, the kid here paid for your ride” and Obi Wan is just like “exactly.” So you know he was totally planning on just having Bail pay the rest.

Varykino, the villa where Anakin and Padme shared their first kiss, got married and spent their most happy moments, exists in real life. It is villa di Balbianello, located near little city Lenno on the Como lake, Italy. I was lucky to visit it during my journey across the Italy. Below is a little comparison of villa in Episode II and in real life:

In real life this dock is not functioning, the way down is restricted.

why i think finn is force sensitive

one of the first (if not THE first) to break stormtrooper conditioning

is a stormtrooper who can actually hit things okay

he and rey have near exact introduction shots, he and rey also have parallelism in terms of a narrative arc AND IT WOULD BE COOL IF THEY BOTH GOT LIGHTSABERS 

the visual cue of all Force sensitives first appearing with masks on, and removing them due to an “awakening”

kylo ren senses fn-2187 during the assault on jakku, enough to remember his call sign later in the film

hears the screams of people on hosinian prime while on takodana, is the first person to notice that the Starkiller base is firing

his leaving prompts rey’s force vision

maz kanata gives finn, not han–who she knows and likely trusts, luke’s lightsaber

later maz kanata insists that finn has a weapon– if we’re going with eu lore, lightsabers are only able to be wielded by jedi

manages to handle his own against kylo ren for a while, including injuring kylo’s shoulder

this one’s a stretch but: at the end it looks like he’s wearing a white tunic, reminiscent of luke’s outfit in ANH

i would really, really like him to be

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (deleted scene)

Seriously though, this scene. WHY DID THEY DELETE THIS SCENE?

[astolat]

And as they went away with Luke letting Han’s hand trail out of his, I thought, “…as though millions of Han/Luke shipper voices suddenly cried out and were silenced.”

[suburbanforestwitch]

In all my days I’ve never shipped this till…

[stephrc79]

Welp, if I didn’t ship it before…

[the-cimmerians]

True story from ancient fandom corner: people did ship it, and that shit was stomped on harder than any slash has ever been stomped on. There were lawsuits. SW slash went WAY underground–even in the days when all slash was underground. There were ‘zines, but they were precious as carbuncles and basically if you had one or wrote in one you were like a fucking badass slash bandit.

[meeedeee]

As far as we know, no one was sued  for publishing a Star wars slash zine or fiction. The reason that Star Wars slash zine fandom went dark, had to do with two het stories published in 1981: the Swedish zine The Dark Lord and then later Slow Boat To Bespin. This led to Lucasfilm issuing a series of protocols requiring the publication of family friendly material.  These protocols  put a damper on Star Wars zine publishing overall because they were subjective and arbitrary.

Of course given the homophobia of the times that classified any gay material, even G rated, as adult, this meant that published slash in Star Wars fandom pretty much dried up until the late 1990s, when brave slash fans resumed publishing Han/Luke slash. Interestingly, even at the height of the Lucas anti-sexuality crusade, two slash writers were able to obtain permission to publish a slash story using original characters.  It took some effort to get permission, including a letter of protest written directly to Lucasfilm.

One good thing that came out of the Star Wars fanzine crackdown - before the crackdown, Lucas had demanded that fans submit a copy of their zines to his offices. Eventually he grew tired of them and the collection was given to Ming Wathne, who added thousands of other fanzines from other fandoms and ran the Fanzine Archives, a fanzine lending library. In 2008, she donated the collection to the University of Iowa and is open to the public.

You can still read some of the late 1990s Han/Luke fic online.

Hopefully I will be able to find this post when I am debunking the ‘gosh, it was all the slash fans faults that star wars fanzines had to go underground’ discussion for the umpteeth time. That version is just so much truthier than reality.

So I hung out in the bookstore for a couple of hours and read the Book of Sith basically cover to cover. While the Jedi book was Lawful Boring, this is pure Chaotic Ham.

My favorite section has got to be Plagueis, because–while he’s clearly a reprehensible person–he asks a question that has bothered me for years: why do the Jedi refuse to engage in Force/midichlorian research, and why do Republic scientists never try either? (Or have they tried, only to be shut down if/when their findings contradicted Jedi mysticism?

If, as this book claims, midichlorians and living beings are obligate mutualistic symbionts (living beings NEED midichlorians, and vice-versa, in order to survive), then not researching the connection between midichlorians, life, and Force sensitivity is a gaping hole in the galaxy’s biological knowledge base. It’s like if we knew nothing about mitochondria.

Biology in the GFFA is somehow advanced enough to clone sentient beings, accelerate their aging rate, and then slow it down again (ex. Clone Wars, Republic Commando series, etc.) … but they know next to nothing about the literal source of life.

Why is nobody who isn’t completely evil researching this?

Force healing can save lives that would otherwise be lost–and Jedi healers manipulate midichlorians to do it. What if there were a way to do that manually, taking the hidebound myopic sanctimonious jackass Order out of the equation?

Somehow all life in the GFFA requires midichlorians, even life that developed on completely different planets–how is that possible? What does this mean for the evolutionary history of the galaxy? Does all galactic life derive from a common ancestor, or is this a staggeringly eerie example of convergent evolution?

Force-sensitives can transfer feelings, thoughts, and images to each other’s minds using midichlorians’ connection to the Force. Couldn’t that be used to help people with mental illnesses or disabilities that make it difficult for them to communicate verbally?

Idealistic? Yes. Can these things be twisted for warfare or torture or whatever? Absolutely. But the Jedi and Sith are already twisting them–without knowing how or why it works. And normal people have no means of defense against that, no idea what’s even going on.

On a meta level, this is all probably just a cop-out so that we don’t get bombarded by technobabble all the time (or because the writers are just lazy, idek). But in-universe, it’s … disturbing, knowing that some of the most important questions in microbiology are blockaded by a great big DO NOT ENTER sign.

NATALIE PORTMAN as Padmé Amidala

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002)

[therestofyourstory]

When Obi-wan tells Anakin to surrender because “I have the higher ground,” he wasn’t referring only to tactical advantage etc. but also to the fact that Anakin’s combat style (Form V) is best suited to a level field. An Ataru specialist could have cleared that jump easily, but Anakin wasn’t one, and his master knew that. And it just hurts because Obi-wan was still being a teacher, still looking out for his padawan even until the bitter end.

Star Wars Challenge: Favourite Character

Anakin Skywalker // Darth Vader

 “ … Just as his actions did not go unnoticed by me. How could they?  I had never seen anything like it. Lord Vader was more than a warrior. His mere presence was enough to demoralize many an enemy. The Jedi, for all their talk, never commanded this level of respect. They only cared about their order. Lord Vader sought order. A galaxy at peace – united under one banner. And from his subordinates… Vader demanded  r e s u l t s .”

[brak666]

FN-2187 walked into a detention cell and removed a high level prisoner by saying, “Kylo Ren sent me” and none of the guards even thought to call and verify it. He then marched that prisoner through the corridors of a Star Destroyer and into a fighter bay passed a gaggle of officers and no one batted an eye.

But go on and tell me how Finn was just a janitor.

[tora42]

oh but now i’ve been thinking about this! ok 1.) finn in before the awakening is literally at the top of his class, like phasma’s only beef with this dude is that he’s got too much empathy but other than that he’s a+ officer material in logistics, combat training, marksmanship, leadership, the whole shebang. so he’s probably trusted to know his shit and do his job. so if fn-2187 says ren wants the prisoner, then ren wants the prisoner. that makes perfect sense. now the hangar tho, here me out: finn using the force. unconsciously, but we know jedi can pass unseen when they want/need to, and he’s so desperate to not get caught he’s probably thinking okay stay calm stay calm nothing to see here just a trooper trasnporting a prisoner nothing unusual here and it WORKS.
