Like, if you want to describe Mara Jade in a lazy way, the phrase “Black Widow with a lightsaber” is sitting right there.

han solo made me the sarcastic careless (yet feeling deeply) bitch i am today now i don’t recall not using sarcasm as a coping mechanism. so if you ever thought “dang who raised her” that’s your answer.

one of the things about star wars fandom that bothers me so much is that how they keep misunderstanding/mischaracterizing leia for the sake of her being alike with anakin.

they keep focusing on her "anger" and make her all about it, meanwhile, she's more present with her hope, hard work, lighter side. leia is one of the characters we haven't seen feeling stuck on dark side or feeling like she had to choose. her choice has always been on the light side, dark side doesn't have the answers she needed or wanted. and hers is political anger because, c'mon, you'd feel angry too if people ignored your years of studying and calling you "a princess playing dress-up" at political events.

luke is the one who struggled between dark and light and struggled with anger, it is literally confirmed and crystal clear and leia is the opposite of anakin, she’s always represented the opposite of the things vader stood for, but this is the talk for another day.

bail organa invented trophy husbandism

[princessbreha]

“omg leia is so much like her father” yeah, she is very much like bail organa

[princessbreha]

the way sleeves on breha organa’s represent the ocean waves on alderaan is so beautiful. not because of the aesthetic but because she is alderaan.

she’s become one with her planet, the way you describe breha organa is the way you describe alderaan, a living on alderaan. she’s given herself to it so much that the picture is completed with her having a part of alderaan on her clothing. it’s almost saying “the way i treat you is the way you’ll be treated on my planet” which is kind, caring, hearing every voice, treating everyone equally. we don’t have many content of her; but on the ones we see, she’s nothing but a bunch of goodness, which made leia the caring, kind woman she is today.

I’m so in love with Terese Nielsen’s art of Leia in Boushh Disguise for Star Wars Miniatures: Imperial Entanglements (picture 1) and Jedi Knight Leia for Star Wars Miniatures: Jedi Academy (picture 2)

They’re made with acrylic, colored pencil and oil. Their sizes are about 16x10”. She did such an amazing job.
