The way that Rogue One and Andor make the Star Wars universe so much more visceral and gritty is incredible. Most of what came before is so action-adventure coded that you don't really realise the stakes that these characters are up against, but these really throw it in your face.

Like, the first time the word "genocide" is dropped by Mon Mothma feels like such a massive moment because it's never really directly acknowledged that that's what the empire does, even though if you think about it for 5 seconds it's obviously the case.

There's also the moment where someone says "he tried to rape me" (gonna not say who and when bc spoilers). In a fictional universe that does as much as it can to not acknowledge that any of its characters actually have sex, suddenly not only is sex real, but sexual assault and violence is too.

These are moments that any piece of fiction only gets one shot at, because once you acknowledge them, they are there and there's no sweeping it under the rug. Rape and genocide are now part of star wars, and they managed to avoid the usual trap of just making it edge for the sake of edginess, and instead used it to really nail down why the rebellion is even a thing.

reylo was probably THE worst thing to happen to star wars. just had to drool over a genocidal 6 and help encourage the derailing of an entire trilogy. no luke skywalker shouldn’t have killed him bc it would have gone against his morals but he should have phoned a friend

[assiraphales]

all for a man whose number one personality trait is toddler temper tantrums

[assiraphales]

they were supposed to be the main focus of the trilogy and kylo should have just been a bug they SQUASHED

if anyone ever asks why return of the jedi is my favourite star wars film i’ll just send them this gif

luke skywalker in the context of andor is sooooo. smiley insane overpowered teenager from the middle of fucking nowhere shows up at the eleventh hour No credentials No connections No resumé just happened to somehow rescue alderaanian senator leia organa from the death star with an absolutely braindead gambit in which he just. pretended to be a stormtrooper, with a wookiee in tow. then he gets in an X-wing for the first time ever, turns off the targeting computer, and blows up the greatest weapon the empire has ever created with one fuckoff impossible shot. meanwhile all these rebels who have spent years, their entire lives, existing in fear and deprivation and exile, painstakingly building this movement with their bare hands, paying in blood and sweat and tears, so far removed from the world of the jedi that the knights and the force are just stories now, to most of them -- these brave exhausted souls who know that no one person can stand against the empire, that it takes community, it takes trust, it takes you and the guy standing next to you -- find themselves watching essentially the rebirth of a mythological protector, in the form of a guy who's probably not legally old enough to drink, who sulks like a teenager whenever notorious smuggler han solo doesn't pay attention to him, who follows biggs around like a puppy, who falls for literally every prank anyone ever plays on him. and this idiot kid is the first person in a generation who can stand up to the empire, all alone, and make a difference. how much must they hate him and how much must they love him and how much must they fear losing him.

Ok if we exclude Palpatine who has the gayest lightsaber?

[stagbeetleboy]

This is Palpatine’s lightsaber btw. He duel wields.

[stagbeetleboy]

Actually it’s genius. It’s is a foolproof design if you don’t want to get caught with a lightsaber

Shitty things about being isekaied #34; every time I use the restroom I automatically reach for my phone I left in my jacket pocket back on earth, and my hand goes exactly where I keep my knives on my belt, so I always walk out of the john with a fresh hand wound

[str8aura-no-not-that-one]

Shitty things about being isekaied #49: dog came with me but the magic field uplifted her into an anime girl and I'm realizing our personalities just don't click (plus her sitting on my lap is weird now)

[str8aura-no-not-that-one]

Shitty things about being isekaied #64: the town blacksmith is an elf named Gay Simpson and I couldnt explain why that made me laugh and now she won't fix my weapons anymore

[str8aura-no-not-that-one]

Shitty things about being isekaied #75: my degree in russian lit is useless now

[str8aura-no-not-that-one]

Shitty things about being isekaied #83: the four dark lords of this world look almost identical to abba which cant be intentional but when they line up on horseback its so uncanny i cant help but wonder if someones fucking with me

[str8aura-no-not-that-one]

Shitty things about being isekaied #94: they dont make my meds here and health potions dont do shit for bipolar

We all know that Qui-gon asking Shmi who Anakin’s father was was an incredibly personal question and if she was totally lying to him I support her in that however I was thinking about it and started dying bc. there are like. two plausible explanations for him asking and I find both of them somewhat hilarious

1. The Jedi have no concept of the wider social norms regarding things like pregnancy and single parenthood, etc. because the vast majority of them will never have children plus they’re a giant communal village of psychics. They have no idea what is and is not appropriate to ask. It is the one situation that their training cannot prepare them for

2. Qui-gon is looking down at the midichlorian count and back up at Anakin. And then back to the count and then back at Anakin again trying to figure out if this kid looks like anyone he knows. Sweet force that would be awkward. Maybe he should call Obi-Wan and ask him to look up the last time a Jedi was assigned to come to Tatooine. But no, no accessing that info without anyone’s consent would be rude. Surely it would be more polite to ask her directly.

[fanfic-obsessed]

This makes me want a story where the force, as an entity, 'borrows' the genetic code of a Jedi for the 'father' of Anakin Skywalker and some random, routine blood test after he becomes a padawan becomes much less routine.

For this I want to you to consider the amusement possiblities for the following.

-Somehow Obi Wan is genetically the father, never mind that Obi Wan was 16 when Anakin was concieved(Sometime in BBY 42 or early BBY 41) and due to a mission mishap had been temple bound from 43 BBY to 40 BBY.

-Some random Jedi Knight/Jedi Master is the father, bonus if their physical gender/species makes them incapable of fathering a human or near human child (Council Member: Skywalker is genetically Kel Dor? How? Healer: Nothing I have ever learned gives me an answer for that). Obi Wan clutches at the poor Jedi, becasue he is a greiving 25 year old with a nine year old, he needs someone.

-Everytime the healers run the genetics test, they match with a different Jedi. Obi Wan pops up every second or third test.

“And the father this time is… me.”

“Why, Master Che, I didn’t realize you get around!”

I appreciate The Empire Strikes Back for being the only time I can think of when a character just shot their enemy as soon as they saw them without pausing or having a dramatic moment beforehand.

I love your art style! In your Rebel Padme AU, how do the twins deal with the whole ‘worst divorce of the Galaxy’ dynamics of Padme and Vader? How are theirs interactions with theirs super divorced parents? Do they pick up a side or just try to stop everything from burning? I’d love to see Luke and Leia of this AU in your art style!

see i want to have seriousness/angst but I also want to have the sheer comedic potential, so i think as early teens it's like "mom how could you lie to us abt our father being an evil fascist sith all these years?!?!?!" and then by like age 17 it's like
