My favorite page from the Clone Wars Adventures comics:

You can commit crimes against the Empire. It is always morally correct!
May the Force be with you!!!

Maul of Dathomir

Friendly reminder that most clones didn’t know about the inhibitor chips. It makes Cody’s ”we make our own decisions, our own choices, and we have to live with them too” hit a bit harder.

Imagine being an uber driver and while giving some teen and his uncle a ride you end up getting pulled into a hostage situation/anti government rebellion forces
Han Solo did not sign up for this
To be fair, in this metaphor, the uber driver is in trouble with the local mob boss because he was ferrying cocaine and dumped it out the window when it looked like he might get pulled over, so…
The Skywalker Men
I’m Fucking dying. The music in the background is what makes it.

Good god. Lol
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever watched.
Keeping Up With The Skywalkers
Those Space Jesus genes really do a number in you if you’ve got the X chromosomes.
"you ain’t special bitch”
You know, with all the language throughout Star Wars about “giving in” to the Dark Side, how the Dark Side makes you more powerful, how the Dark Side makes you age strangely and destroys you, it sure doesn’t sound like an “opposite side of the coin” so much as the “deeper end of the pool,” like it’s actually the true form of the force and being a Jedi is about keeping it tamed so it doesn’t eat you the way it actually wants.
the force is entropy
Eldritch Jedi pls
This is one of the reasons i love the second Knights of the Old Republic game, wherein one of the major characters (who defines herself neither as Jedi nor Sith) actually views the Force this way, saying “I hate the Force. I hate that it seems to have a will, that it would control us to achieve some measure of balance, when countless lives are lost.”
It’s also the game that gave us the two most entropic, eldritch characters in the franchise: Darth Nihilus, whose dark-side-borne ability to feed on the Force and consume life itself has twisted him into a half-living “wound in the Force”, more presence than flesh
and Darth Sion, whose entire body is a ruin, his flesh nothing but ragged scar tissue, every bone and muscle broken and torn, kept animated by will alone as he forces himself, second by agonizing second, to exist
I wish there were more horrifying perspectives on the force like that
#the force is a horrorterror
This is one of the reasons the term “Light Side” never felt right to me, even before it was used in any official media; The Force always struck me more like an ocean than a binary concept: the deeper you go, the darker and more crushing it gets — at a certain point becoming an effectually consistent darkness — and while light filters down and fades for some distance, if there is a truly light “side” it’d be the surface.
Which isn’t to say “the Force is evil unless you flounder about near the top” — just that it’s a natural force, and as such is something you need to respect and be adequately prepared for. (Take electricity, for example: super awesome and pretty dang useful, but OH HOLY SMOKES don’t try and harness it unless you REALLY know what you’re doing!)
In this sense, being tempted by the Dark Side is less a case of “Hey, I wonder what’s on the other side of this coin it looks pretty cool haha oh whoops I’m Space Walter White now,” and more one of “The deeper into this thing you go, the harder you’ll need to fight to resist the ever-increasing pressure, to remain whole, even to just see whatever the heck you’re actually doing.”
(which is why Jedi training is so important: those padawans gotta build themselves a mental Deepsea Challenger!)
THIS META BLESSED ME
i am alive. kotor is a fucking blessing and im honestly so pissed they de-canonized it because that shit was a wealth of incredibly deep and fascinating world building they essentially tossed out the window. Kotor offered an entirely different perspective on the force; there is so much more to it than the antiquated good vs. evil concept we see in the films.
I always imagined “the narrow path of the Jedi” like a surfer riding a wave and desperately balancing to stay above the water as long as they can, whereas the Dark Side would be more like becoming the wave, rolling with it and all its power - but ultimately, like every wave, breaking.
Jabba says you can have an extra hour in the ballpit
so much could have been improved in the sequels if kylo ren hadn’t been force sensitive
no wait think about it. kylo ren not being force sensitive, but so desperate to be so he’s willing to do anything. he feels cheated out of his grand destiny, his powers that his mother and uncle (and cousin?) have. give me the story on the entitlement towards the force. it would have shown that the force is beyond biological, it always has been. it would have given a better reason for kylo ren to “fall to the dark side”, so desperate for a connection to the force that he plays the part of a dark sider, swinging a cracking red lightsaber around with no finesse or training, killing hoping that it will push him further into a dark side of the force he cannot feel. it would have given a reason for him to hate han; that because han isn’t force sensitive, it’s his fault that kylo isn’t either. kylo’s character would have been stronger because his choices would have been his own, instead of whatever whisper dream manipulations they were in canon. his evil has nothing to do with the force, but an entitled man trying to claim a power he believes is his by birthright.
this would have foiled perfectly with finn, too- one is a child born to the most powerful force sensitives in the galaxy who cannot feel the force. and finn is a child who was taken from his family, forced into soldier-hood, who feels such a deep and powerful connection to himself and the force that he breaks free. kylo ren, seething and entitled trying to claim a destiny and power that just aren’t his, and finn, who has suffered at kylo’s actions and still connected to the powerful light inside of him. the “nobody” hero of the sequels who has the power of the force and the legacy-born villain who doesn’t.
people are always like “oh I want Leia and Padmé to meet they have so much in common” but let’s be honest if Leia ‘I’d Stab Him Without a Second Thought’ met Padmé ‘I Can Fix Him’ Amidala there would DEFINITELY be blood
Luke and Padmé: there’s still good in him!
Leia, cocking her gun: not enough
honestly though can you imagine Leia ‘if he wants me that badly he can damn well get better himself’ Organa meeting Padmé ‘I’m sure with my love and encouragement he won’t kill kids (again)’ Amidala? ten to one Leia spends five minutes with her and starts dreaming of knocking her teeth out
#Leia and Padmé are SO similar on the surface in that they’re both well-dressed principled politicians#but the truth of the matter is that Padmé is a lot less principled than she thinks she is#and Leia is a lot less empathetic then she could be#and it all comes out to them having totally diametrically opposed opinions on things
You’re right and you should say it
