tahiri is a really interesting study in grief. like ignore that theres scifi reasons for everything happening to her, becoming someone else after experiencing loss is so real. her initial instance that it's not happening, the self harm, the reactions from the solos, anakins vision of her shaped and knowing he didn't want that to happen to her, it's actually beautiful.

For the nerd Jaster JSTOR enjoyers:

[Image description: a version of the "not what I'm called meme". on one side is a comic panel of a Mandalorian in red and black armour with a cape firing a bayonet blaster. The Mandalorian says "hey guys". People on the other side point and exclaim "JSTOR" with the JSTOR logo pictured. The Mandalorian, Jaster Mereel, answers "NOT WHAT I'M CALLED." End ID]

Jaster in fics being all "worried" and "incredulous" at Obi-Wan fighting on Melida/Daan as a young kid is, well, so stupid and annoying I'm sorry, that is literally the same guy that gave Jango a bomb when he was 8, he would not be that concerned-

Duchess Satine forbade the people of Mandalore from speaking Mando’a, their native language, and forced them to speak only Galactic Basic, the language of the Republic. Here’s all of the evidence to prove it!

First off, we have … Oh, wait. Satine’s the only named character in The Clone Wars who speaks Mando’a, and she even uses the warrior dialect of the Concordians.

And hmm … there’s Mando’a on the police speeders.

(Also note that the police carry and use blasters and flame throwers, so she hasn’t outlawed weapons either. Mandalorians are also not forbidden from carrying weapons within the city, which is why the Death Watch terrorist pictured above was carrying a blaster. The only people forbidden from carrying weapons are outsiders ... and that was only a rule solidified in The Clone Wars Season 3.)

But surely the children are only taught Basic …

Nope! The children of Mandalore are taught both Basic and Mando’a, but you can see that Mando’a is what Korkie is using on his tablet.

It’s clear the children are bilingual. They use Mando’a for their studies, but Ahsoka’s presentation is in Basic. It's likely that they are using Basic to converse with her but speak Mando'a amongst themselves.

In fact, the only place in Sundari where we see Basic is on the dome’s exits (this says “Hangar 1”), with the implication that they are accommodating travelers.

Huh. It’s almost like violence isn’t the only tradition that makes up Mandalorian culture, and Satine loves her Mandalorian heritage even as she believes (as the majority of Mandalorians did who confirmed her right to rule) that the time of peace had come.

I don't know what's going on here exactly, I was just going by vibes

[haatmandoade]

I want to work on my star wars fanfic but my laptop went for a small swim yesterday so next chapter may be even more delayed sorry squad

[haatmandoade]

I should get to blow up Lucasfilm sheerly for the fact that the mandalorian and grogu movie has people on instagram posting about how they want to fuck rotta the hutt and I have to see it

Academy Award winner Marcia Lucas has died. While winning major awards for her work as an editor for Star Wars (alongside a team of editors, including Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew; some of her contributions outside of her work with George Lucas include Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Taxi Driver, and New York, New York), she mostly disappeared from the public eye following her divorce and essentially retired.

While Marcia dispelled the belief that she singlehandedly saved Star Wars in the edit (and very passionately defended George's craftmanship and ideas, which she felt were undercredited, as well as the work of their team in general), there was a lot of work she specifically did and I thought it would be good to highlight just how much she did and give her credit where it is due. There is a lot that came from her that most don't know about. Most of those examples are from Howard Kazanjian's biography, A Producer's Life, published in 2021.

On some of the uncredited dialogue and story revisions for Star Wars:

On some of her work in Star Wars:

On having the iconic trench run on the Death Star as her biggest work while working on Star Wars:

On her uncredited work in The Empire Strikes Back:

On how her input changed the ending of Raiders of the Lost Ark:

On her joining the Return of the Jedi crew, an emphasis in finding the right cut for actors, cutting together footage of Luke in ROTJ after she and George disagreed with the characterization the director had given to Mark Hamill and unable to reshoot footage:

On editing the climactic ending in the Throne Room in ROTJ:

Saw the mandalorian and grogu and I did NOT like it. What was that. 2 hours of some bullshit.

[haatmandoade]

To be perfectly honest I feel more true patriotism to the galactic republic than I do the united states. By a lot

Huge shoutout to this jerk for getting me back into star wars

Watching the episode of clone wars where anakin teaches civilians how to do terrorism and i accidentally said "damn hes teaching these guys how to make homemade IUDs" instead of IEDs

[secretly-a-trekkie]

Just a little bit of paranoia
