🐝 disclaimer 🐝 ⊹ I've been on tumblr for 10+ years, so I'm old school and I unfollow liberally. If we've moved onto different fandoms, then there's a likely chance that I will unfollow you (not always though). I also block (strangers) liberally, if you make me uncomfortable (or you're bigoted), I will block you. ⊹ If I do this: do not go into my personal messages asking why I've unfollowed you, or block evade to demand why I've blocked you/insist I've made a mistake. This has happened enough times recently that I feel I need to make it clear: if you, a stranger, invade my personal space to request an explanation from me why I curated my internet experience, it's not likely to get you the response you're seeking (and if I've blocked you in the past, doing this isn't going to make me change my mind, I'm just going to double down on it). I'm here to have fun, be friendly, and support people, but I'm not a doormat either. ⊹ divider credit, header credit.

however unlikely, I hope Legacy references Satele. Cos if you're gonna do a book about a messy Jedi mom who sent her son away to a trusted jedi master who then fucked uP said son, you HAVE to acknowledge and reference the og in some way.

is it a "dead fandom" or is your desire for engagement farming and numbers overgrown the simple joy of creating something? because sometimes fandom is you and three other lovely freaks in your mentions and that's okay

saw more criticisms this morning about certain lines in tros being sexist, and even as a patented angry feminist who rants and raves about the misogyny in star wars and its fandom frequently, i can't see "you have his power" or "i will earn your brother's saber" as sexist so much as I feel like they're very natural conclusions to draw from the specific complexes both characters are coming from.

ben/kylo has spent his entire life essentially being spoon-fed this idolization of bloodlines: if you were to ask him, he has Vader's power, because he is Vader's grandson (a fact he even highlights in the same conversation with Rey). He's been groomed by Snoke to think the entirety of his value and importance centers around this power he inherently has because he's a Skywalker: it's also a sentiment Luke shares ("that mighty Skywalker blood") and as Ben's primary caretaker for most of his childhood, that is a belief that Ben would've internalized.

I can't see this moment as Kylo diminishing Rey's abilities or importance, moreso trying to get her to grapple with the deeply fucked up, eugenics-twisted mindset he's been forced into and has accepted over the years because he doesn't think there's another alternative.

As for Rey's comment - yeah, on the surface it stings after years of bigots screaming down anyone's throats about how she's terrible and undeserving of anything she gets, but it also checks out to me that the woman with imposter syndrome, would feel like she has to earn it: throughout TLJ, we see that Rey never considers that she, herself, might be the hero the galaxy needs (or if she does, she quickly buries the thought cos she's not ready to accept her destiny). She tries giving Luke the saber, ships herself to the Supremacy with the intent to give it to Ben, thinking if it's not Luke, then surely Ben must be the hero of this tale.

She doesn't believe she has a place in this story, and as we see in TFA, she spent her adolescence being taught that she has to "earn" her place in the world: in order to survive, in order to eat, Rey is not given things, she has to earn them. It's as much her upbringing rearing its head, as it is Rey's (re-opened) wounds from the events of TLJ that has her certain she still isn't the hero: so much of TROS involves the audience and the characters themselves, being certain of Rey, but because Rey's journey is that of self-acceptance, it takes her awhile to find that same conclusion as well.

Leia obviously thinks what Rey is saying a load of bullshit, but Rey has to come to that conclusion herself, and heal from her trauma. Which she slowly, slowly, does and we see the conclusion of this arc when she's given Leia's saber, and when she calls both sabers to herself on Exegol.

#“i will earn your brother's saber” at the beginning of the movie that ends with the heroine burying that saber and proudly creating her own#i wonder what they could have been going for. a mystery (via @tremendouskoalachild)

Casey, I can always count on you for the best tags 🙂‍↕️

That's actually something I have been mulling over for the past couple of weeks, though, and I wonder if so much of the irritation with the culmination of Rey's arc isn't because...so much of it involves rejecting a man's legacy.

You see so many people insisting Palpatine actually won, treating Rey as a vessel for both his legacy and character, as "proof" that the saga had a horrible ending where the bad guy won because *checks notes* his granddaughter is the sole Force user left standing - or just people insisting that it's Rey Palpatine actually.

I don't think people can fathom a story where a woman rejects not one, but two different male legacies and forges her own. I think it makes them very uncomfortable: Palpatine and Anakin and Luke are The Men(TM) of the Skywalker Saga to so many people, and Rey being "chosen" to continue those but rejecting it? And learning she never needed to earn a right to those legacies, she can choose her own? And that decision being tied so much more heavily with her connection to Leia, than one with Luke?

Oh that must sting for certain people.
