Pinhead tried to ask out Maul and Obiwan kicked down the fucking door and stole him away. Obiwan immediately proposed and they got married as fast as possible.

Pinhead was NOT at the wedding. Palpatine didn’t show up either. Mace and Anakin got front seats and Padmé sang a beautiful song.

i have a personality flaw that always positions me on the side of characters who are hiding everything and refuse to accept help. like do NOT confide in people. confiding in people is the enemy. REAL winners lie and lie and continue lying until they ruin every single thing theyve got going for them & didnt fix a single goddamn thing. keep digging grandpa youre almost there

[lothcatlothcat]

[lothcatlothcat]

being a disney girl being a star wars guy ITS ALL THE SAME CONGLOMERATE ITS ALL A VICTIM OF CAPITALIST FASCIST PROPAGANDA

[lothcatlothcat]

we’ve only seen devon in survival mode, it makes me wonder how long she’s been in it and how deep the mental scars will go

[padofwan]

What gets me about the ending and what it tells us about Devon's headspace going into season 2 is that we see her when she's calmed down. She's cried herself out. It's been long enough since they jumped into hyperspace that Rylee has also cried himself out and succumbed to exhaustion and fallen asleep. So it's been hours and her blood isn't up anymore but she's just been sitting there. Stewing. Rocking her new lightsaber (one that's been soaked in so much bloody history before it came to her) back and forth in her hand, considering it. Looking so quietly intense with her sickly-looking eyes—beginning to be as metaphysically altered by the dark side as Maul's are.

This shot made me JUMP from how fucking scary she looks. The soundtrack is SO ominous, you understand just how deeply she is intentionally submerging herself in the dark side because it feels cathartic to her now.

And then "Alright. I'm ready."

Compare how wildly different in tone this scene is to the one with Barriss kneeling to Vader at the end of TotE Devoted, where Barriss is not embracing the dark side so much as giving into despair that she isn't being allowed any other options, communicating to us that she's going to break from that path and reclaim her identity as a Jedi the moment she's required to actually act as a darksider. That is not what Devon is.

This is the heart of it: "I'm ready" doesn't come in the heat of the moment. The desire for vengeance is something she swore in a fit of passion—but becoming Maul's apprentice is a calm and deliberate choice as she burns with a quiet and seething hatred. It will not be something she reconsiders as the rush fades and she faces the reality of it.

This is not Devon tiptoeing cautiously into the dark side. This is Devon considering her choice deeply before deliberately plunging into the abyss, fully aware of what that abyss entails.

thoughts on parallels between ezra and devon? There’s definitely a few I can recall off the top of my head, like them getting involved with their respective plots over food (devon’s more obvious but ezra also steals food in his debut appearance), being young and angry at the empire for taking everything from them, maul setting sights on them as apprentices, and despite that all, they’re still caring and compassionate and they have morals and values

OOOHHH LET ME THINK

i think theres the key one of: such a strong bond with their master that when he's taken out of action (for whatever reason) they start floundering in the Force and end up dipping into the dark side. they want to be stronger than their master so nothing like that can ever happen again, and Maul promises them that this is the way to do it. their masters both clung so tightly to the light side, and they got hurt, so obviously the dark side must be what it takes to protect yourself. they're not falling to the dark side because they want to be evil; it's just that without the structure and community of the Jedi Order, they don't have the support in the Force.

but yeah you're also right. they are both effectively orphaned by an Empire that demands they suppress their beliefs for their own safety. they both want things to change, but don't know initially how they could bring about that change with the limited resources they have.

i think a key difference though is that Ezra still had a support system, even when Kanan was pulling away. Devon only really has Rylee (and we'll have to see how that plays out in S2), so she's much easier for Maul to isolate. i think we can kinda see the inklings of this in how Maul believes if he kills Kanan (which he tries to do SO many times) then Ezra will join the dark side. but, unlike Devon, Ezra knows Maul betrayed his master, and so doesn't trust him. Devon seems to be gearing up to view Maul as a teacher - Ezra saw Maul as a means to an end.

please consider writing to Prarieland defendants Autumn Hill and Meagan Morris, they are both trans lesbians incarcerated in men's prisons for protesting an ICE facility

prosecution established affiliation by way of defendants having fucking anarchist zines, the kind of shit you see in a punk house. this is what they want and are willing to pursue for all of us who aren't willing to lay down and die, imprisonment and torture and the absolute stripping of our dignity (the govt gleefully included their deadnames in a press release yesterday; Morris' public defender has consistently deadnamed and misgendered her despite her legal name change)

there is no one who will protect us except us, and if our sisters are lost to us and forgotten as soon as they are grabbed by the prison system (ie if the system is allowed to work as intended) then we are failing, and we are woefully unprepared for a world where they start taking more of us

Autumn Hill - Support the Prairieland Defendants

Autumn is a loving wife and is interested in religious history and mythology. Write to her at FMC Fort Worth.

Meagan Morris - Support the Prairieland Defendants

Meagan Elizabeth Morris is loved by her wife housemates, and dogs. Her name was legally changed in 2007, but the federal complaint used her

people mad about devon's voice actor saying devon sees maul as a father figure because they assume that parental figure = good person who treats you well and has your best interest in mind like damn clearly we had very different childhoods lol. and is it putting them into a box or is it just using common concepts to get the point across? palpatine was maul's dad too i fear. and this says nothing about how maul himself views the relationship, but it's really not that weird for scared & alone teenage girl to latch onto the only adult around she feels she can rely on even if he's a jackass, especially since he already protected her before. "for your sake or his own?" it doesn't matter to her because he's all she has now (he made sure of it). plus she clearly already somewhat agreed with him and felt sympathetic towards him even before daki got vadered. i feel like some of y'all forget that she really is just a kid who has just lost the little she had left, no shit she's gonna be like a lost duckling with maul now even though he suuucks lol

[moonlit-clary-sage]

Maul is always out here like yes hahaha come with me child I can be your dad yes leave behind your current dad he literally sucks ass and is not nearly as cool and scary as me hahaha I promise I'll make you soooo evil and powerful and fueled by hate and rage it has gone great for me I never got cut in half or spent a decade in the actual literal garbage going mad plagued by horrible visions because of it not at all and I'm like so so over the guy who cut me in half can't even remember his name anyway you can trust me I prommyyyy stick your fingers in my enclosure pleaseeeee let me be your dad

Very nerdy analysis of the lightsaber techniques in Maul's fight with Devon Izara

I read a lot of lightsaber lore when I was younger, and it actually lines up really well with the depth of Maul's duel with Devon in Ep. 3.

Devon states she "Isn't foolish enough to fight [Maul]", but when cornered at the exit, she says "Let me pass, I'm not afraid of you". She then opens into what appears to be an opening stance for Form III lightsaber combat (Soresu), which supports a couple ideas about her character.

1 . She's past the basic fundamentals of Form I lightsaber combat (Shii-Cho), which is what padawans generally start with. She's no beginner.

2. She is prioritizing defense and endurance here, as these are the primary functions of Form III. Her goal here really is to defend herself as long as she has to. You can win a duel with Form III, but she definitely just wants to get past him.

Maul responds with an opening stance for Form II (Makashi), which isn't his typical fighting style. We usually see Form II with Count Dooku.

Form II is a traditional & advanced form, focused on efficiently defeating an opponent in saber-on-saber combat. He wants to flex the extent to which he can easily outclass Devon, because he wants her to buy into the value of his training (much like Vader with Luke in The Empire Strikes Back. Wow parallels).

She actually holds up pretty well for a minute, and is very much on the defense, so yeah... Form III.

Unfortunately, he essentially beats her here:

And again

And again.

And again.

Obviously, he isn't trying to kill her, and she can gather as much. He just wants to do this little demonstration, test her, and get in her head.

She ultimately gets away, but only after he frustrates her enough that she perhaps "taps into the dark side" a little bit, as the kids say. He pushes her to be more discontent and ambitious with her life, so that he can be part of the answer. She can gather as much.

I'm curious where this is really headed. As a final note, Maul doesn't open into his typical fighting style with Form VII (Juyo) until Ep 4., when he has to fight both Devon and her master.

You don't exactly need to know any lightsaber lore to extract these ideas from the narrative, but it was pretty fun to see these details lining up.

Keep in mind this is just my interpretation, but it all felt pretty intentional. If anyone wants to hear more saber combat analysis like this, lemme know.

[lothcatlothcat]

season one was good. it’s a star wars but i like the premise and the expansion on how jedi survived. and expanding on maul’s known horrible manipulative and self serving tendencies that ends up killing most of the people who follow him. at this point in the story i can’t even count how many times he’s been in a situation like this. It’s kind of neat to see where season 3 episode 1 ezra was at in his own downward spiral in rebels.

[lothcatlothcat]

ngl they got me with the last one. that was just horrible as a fan of kids not losing their fathers
