The Dreamers. I wanted Rey and Finn to do some rooftop stargazing on Coruscant, and the wonderful @may12324, drawing on commission, gave me this amazingly beautiful scene, which is exactly how I’d pictured it! Thank you so much Annalise!

Inktober 52 2024 - Week 33 - 'Stormtrooper'

STAR WARS IS THE MOST DISAPPOINTING THING SINCE MY SON.

My boy Finn deserved better, dammit.

Babble below.

Ahhh, what a waste of potential for a Star Wars character. When the force awakens trailer first came out, I was excited to see that we would be getting a character from a Stormtrooper background. I would have love to see a good-natured character battling against their imperialistic military upbringing and coming to terms with the changes that life brought. I even theorized that THIS could be the character with the force this time, with an internal battle for whether they landed on the light or dark side. Their nature vs nurture moment with more universal consequences.

Alas, he just seems to quickly get over his previous life and is kinda sidelined compared to Rey and Kylo Ren. This rebellion in him all gets triggered the first time he sees the death of a friend in battle...something you'd think he'd be trained for. It should have been more meaningful, it felt to me like a footnote in the story.

His character does act out the more fun aspects of that film series; crashing a casino and freeing its 'space horses' and raiding a space battle-ship using DIFFERENT 'space horses'. But he should have been a major player, with deeper aspects of his character and history explored.

Yeah, I’m a Kylux shipper. But Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac have such a great dynamic together so I hope we’ll see some interactions between Poe and Hux in the next movie. (pretty please?)

George Lucas in 1980:

"In American Graffiti I was trying to portray change. I was trying to say that things are always changing and that change is inevitable."

Lucas in 2002:

"This is obviously a very pivotal scene for Anakin because this is reuniting with his mother and his youth and, at the same time, dealing with his inability to let go of his emotions and allowing himself to accept the inevitable."

Lucas in 2003:

"[Anakin makes] a pact with the devil. And that usually leads to the same end: You cannot change the inevitable. If you try, you're basically going against the cosmos or however you want to define that. [...] No human can let go. It’s very hard. Ultimately, we do let go because it’s inevitable; you do die and you do lose your loved ones. But while you’re alive, you can’t be obsessed with holding on. As Yoda says in this one, ‘You must learn to let go of everything you’re afraid to let go of.’ Because holding on is in the same category and the precursor to greed. And that’s what a Sith is. A Sith is somebody that is absolutely obsessed with gaining more and more power - but for what? Nothing, except that it becomes an obsession to get more."

Lucas in 2010:

"There’s a line between loving somebody compassionately and caring about them and helping them. But the other line is not to be greedy or once you are greedy then you get fearful. You don’t want to lose what it is you have that you are getting. So you have to learn to give up everything. And ultimately for a Jedi Knight, it’s very easy to give up.  [...] There is an inevitability to life which is death and you have to accept that."

The fandom:

"The Jedi told Anakin to give up on his wife and let her die! They're emotionless and their teachings are dogmatic!"

Aside from its anti-blackness/racism, the general deterioration of Star Wars as a multi-faced story results from people failing to understand the messaging behind characters like the Jedi (and even the Sith). Failing to understand, and desperate to flatten it into something so binary and unfaceted, reactionary viewpoints are the guiding principle.

So, now we've got god-knows-how-many television shows and films (canceled or completed) that problematize the Jedi (and are far too sympathetic/lenient with Sith and Empire ideology) and their philosophy, and people who unironically believe "the Jedi bad, actually" telling those stories.

And, all of this, honestly, started with (non-miniseries) The Clone Wars show, and boiled over with the Sequel Trilogy.

Fuck you Disney these characters are queer :)

Version with my headcanon individual pride flags under the cut:

It's ok to disagree with my headcanons, just don't be a prick

With The Acolyte, Lucasfilm Is Done Staying Silent About Bigoted Reactions To Star Wars

Lucasfilm has had what can, charitably, be described as a rocky history with how it has handled Star Wars frequently finding itself the targ

This article actually mentions the racism that boyega faced but another article I saw didn't. But like part of the problem is that boyega was cast nearly a decade ago. And they didn't do SHIT to defend him or the casting choice.

5 Years Later, Billie Lourd Pitches the Star Wars Spinoff We Need Right Now

Five years after 'The Rise of Skywalker,' Star Wars alum Billie Lourd is keen to do a buddy comedy with Kelly Marie Tran.

Star Wars’ Billie Lourd Would “Do Anything” to Reunite With Rose Tico

[...]

Lourd is certainly open for a reunion, but there’s one sequel alum she’d especially like to team up with in a new project: “Honestly? Rose [Tico], baby. Kelly Marie Tran is one of my favorite people of all time, and I would love to team up with her. We should do a buddy comedy: Rose and Connix.”

A Rose and Connix team-up would be an intriguing sequel follow-up. Rise of Skywalker faced scrutiny for sidelining Rose: she appeared for little over a minute in the two-hour film. It felt like a considerable downgrade from her appearance in The Last Jedi, and the filmmakers never quite explained her diminished role.
