They Deserve Better @mystarwarsmatters - Tumblr Blog

I’m not gonna be nice and/or accommodating on this sideblog, I’m telling you right now.

Social Media’s version of Star Wars sucks almost as bad as Disney Star Wars lmao and I’m a picky little bastard with my own version of it.

torn between 'disney never mentions padme :(' and 'thank fuck disney never mentions padme they would mess her up' and my conclusion is: they should let lego write a padme story, I trust lego and only lego with good padme characterisation

Didn’t they do some animated shorts with SW women, and one featured Padme?

Never watched it so I can’t be sure but I feel like that happened a while ago.

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

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:

#rip #These movies wouldn’t be as wonderful as they are without her #she clearly had vision #I hope the Queen of Death is resting well

Many believed Lord Vader to be a cold-hearted and ruthless man who concerned himself only with the Empire's strength; thus, it was a great surprise, and a pleasant one, to witness his blatant affection for the prince and princess. He invested vast sums of credits into artistic renditions of his children, which decorate the Imperial Palace and many other important buildings to this day, and so brought a resurgence of art to Coruscant in their honour.

He also took great pleasure in seeing the twins' mutual affection. It was proof of their unshakable bond, wrought deep in the so-called Force, an ancient religion that he himself took part in. It is worth noting that the Empire’s citizens were also overjoyed in seeing their lord's happiness, not least because their livelihoods depended on his good mood.

To this day, the shared love of the Imperial family remains a symbol of the Empire's unbreakable core.

Family portrait time! I had lots of fun working on this one, especially since Vader finally gets his moment to shine XD I put the twins in white so they'd contrast nicely with him, but rest assured they have plenty of dark clothes to match his aesthetic loll
