Ben Solo marketing

They released the comics right before the premiere which made it clear that Ben Solo did not destroyed the Jedi Temple and did not kill any jedi student. He just wanted to get home. And that certain night when Luke tried to hurt his nephew, Luke Skywalker was indeed under the influence of Palpatine.

All of these meant to prepare the audience for the “ Redemption ” and Ben Solo’s happy life…

Before JJ Abrams and his crew changed and destroyed everything. JJ Abrams and Chris T. changed, rewrote and undone everything has been set up since TFA//TLJ.

Why was this done? No, seriously, is there any reason for this apart from their being psychopaths? Is this an attempt to put all the blame on RJ? But by now anyone with a half a brain can see that TROS is deeply flawed and that its flaws have nothing to do with TLJ or RJ. What was the purpose? WHAT HAPPENED, DISNEY???

THIS!☝️ This is why I say that all this situation was sadistic, for me, for other adults, for the kids!

fangirl-outlet-very-much-needed

Adding to the tragic tale of Ben Solo….

It was established that Sidious had a thing for collecting force sensitive children (both during the clone wars era and during Rebels) and experimenting on them to turn them to the dark side. Then he used them as spies.

He targeted children…and after the Skywalkers defeated him he targeted, groomed, manipulated, abused and essentially collected Ben from inside the womb to the point if betrayal by Luke. It was revenge and tatical.

Ben was swayed to the dark side since he was a child and used against his own family, Sidious most serious threat to power.

All of this.

One of the things that frustrates me is the hate that certain individuals must have felt for victims. And I believe it *was* hate, because it was entirely within their power to design TROS such that Ben was a better person. Instead, they wrote and portrayed him as badly as they could within the constraints they had and then killed him off with no fanfare so they could free Rey from his influence.

The makers of TROS were presented with a character perfectly poised to be redeemed, to become strong in himself, to be a better person and to be the manly man in charge of his own destiny/whatever the antis wanted in a character. The makers of TROS could have written him so that he was no longer the character they hated. But they didn’t. There is a lot of malevolent intention there.

Put in the same movie where:

Rose was sidelined

Finn’s relationship with Rose was MIA

They found time for new male characters and aliens, but not established ones

They mocked the Holdo maneuver

They showed porgs shivering and sooty

Rey Palpatine

Leia died to distract her son so Rey could kill him?

The Force Ghosts talked to Rey but not Ben?

Rey Skywalker?

Rey buries the lightsabers on Tatooine

Ren ends alone

Luke/Leia incesty vibes

Kylo Ren was only redeemed in his head/can never take back what he did (but … Rey can?)

Parents sold their child into slavery with an abuser in order to protect her? Also, to protect her from WHAT? From becoming all-powerful empress of the galaxy? Thanks a LOT, Mom and Dad!

Anyway, with all the other bizarre directions the movie went, treating Ben as they did doesn’t look accidental. It looks targeted and intentional, to kill and mistreat this character precisely because he’s been victimized.

Fuck Chris Terrio and JJ. Seriously.

therestofyourstory

Thea, you know we love you, but I need you to be honest with us: is THP actually going to be 15 chapters or are you woefully underestimating your love of slowburn? xD 'Member the days when LWABOC was supposed to be like 30 chapters? Pepperidge farm 'members... Joking aside ILYSM thank you for spoiling our fandom with your glorious stories xxxxx

This is such a callout sdsfghk TO BE FAIR, THERE’S NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF PLOT. I can say with absolute certainty that this one isn’t going to reach 70 chapters. 💀

reysexualkylo

70 chapters of fucking, please

prymalism

LWABOC was supposed to be 20 chapters. 😂🤣 Two years later and it’s the most delicious story in fandom, clocking in at 69 chapters hahahahaha.

I personally welcome another Diasterisms Epic. ;)

You’re the best, Thea. ❤️

sw-daydreamer

tell me why I want to cry all over again when I read this….

smallpotato80

The more they talk about it, the worse it gets. Oh, yeah. Rey took a sec before she climbed out of the depths of hell to hop into Luke’s jet to fly off and be with her friends. Ugh.

My head cannon: She took that sweater. She tied it around her while she climbed the hell out of there and she has it with her to hold when she needs to feel close to him. It’s all she has left.

xmalikethx

It’s like at the end of The Hobbit when they cut out Thorin’s funeral because…you know…why show it? Not like it’s important or meaningful or anything 😒

@smallpotato80 I love that headcanon 💕

tips for writing Star Wars fanfic/Star Wars roleplay things

it’s not concrete; it’s duracrete

viewports are the windows on ships

not a plane; ship or speeder

it’s not steel; it’s durasteel

books are rare; holorecords or datapads

it’s not a glass pane it’s transparisteel

caf is the equivalent of coffee

it’s not paper it’s a flimsi

medcenter is a hospital

Star Wars can be very similar to things we’re already used to, but getting familiar with some of these terms can make your writing really fit in with the universe

askshivanulegacy

This is brilliant! Here’s another:

It’s not a movie; it’s a holovid

It’s not a phone or cell; it’s a holocom or communicator or just comm (unit). You normally comm someone instead of call them.

Searching our standard terms in Wookieepedia will normally provide you with one or several in-universe alternatives. The other items exist, they’re just either archaic terms or really low-tech versions of what’s commonly used (like concrete is a real thing, but just extremely less durable and strong than the more advanced and common duracrete).

roane72

I’ve seen ‘permacrete’ used in the latest books as well.

deducecanoe-deactivated20161213

Back in the day weren’t the “glass” windows on x-wings and ships called like invisa-steel or something? That stuck in my head from the Thrawn trilogy I think. I remember sitting there in deep contemplation over how the hell you make the molecule chains in metal transparent and worrying about carbon chains and shit because what’s what you do in 10th grade.

sugardaddylukeskywalker

I remember seeing med center used as medbay and sickbay as well, and dishwasher as sonic dishwasher? (correct me if wrong tho, I can’t remember v well). But here’s some more:

bandaids = bacta patches bathroom = refresher watch/clock = chrono first aid kit = medpack, medkit motorcycle = speeder bike, swoop bike camera = holocamera internet = holonet shower = sonic shower(?)

Correct any of these if they’re wrong ;P also they’re all legends I think and I’m not sure if any of them are in new canon.

freshbrainss

I love this, because it’s not condescending or pretentious…just fans letting newer fans know ways to improve their fic. I love the films, but I haven’t been able to get access to so many of the books and comics yet (even though they’re waiting in my Amazon cart for pay day), so this is awesome. And I’ve basically been living on Wookieepedia lately, too!

borgevino

a shower is a sanisteam

nearly everyone has commlinks but holocomm units are a bit more pricy – think space skype. they’re connected to the holonet. i don’t think there’s a star wars term for emails (maybe just mail) but those also exist.

personal computing devices are datapads, stationary ones are terminals. also, you don’t get a stack of physical paper for paperwork; you get a stack of datapads. (although paper is called flimsi, paperwork is still called paperwork. go figure)

kilometers are klicks

a lot of fighter pilot helmets have tongue switches for their commlinks so pilots don’t have to take their hands off the controls during dogfights. random factoid that might come in handy

some in-universe swearwords: sithspit, sithspawn, fragged, fragging

a hacker is a slicer or codeslicer

I was thinking of making this post just today – glad to see a version is already going around!!

captainofthetidesbreath

Klick is actually a real-world slang term for kilometer! Everything that I can remember is that the galaxy uses the metric system, or at least the GAR does. And I’ve seen showers just called showers in some Legends novels.

Some things I don’t see above:

Plastic is often called plastoid, and I’ve seen the clone troopers’ armor called either just plastoid or plastoid alloy. Plastoid goes for either your thick stuff or your thin sheets. There is a thing called plastifoil, I’ve seen it used in reference to the material of a thermal blanket.

Bucket is a slang in (at least) the GAR for helmet. I don’t know how common it is among stormtroopers.

Your memory card type things, which go into your datapads, are (natch) datachips.

Similarly, your ID is an identichip.

And as far as video recorders, above says camera as holocamera, but I’ve also seen holorecorder.

Also, as far as I’ve seen, though the city on Coruscant covers the entire planet, the city itself is called Galactic City during the Republic and Imperial City (iirc) during the Empire. Triple Zero (or Trip Zip) is a military slang term for Coruscant because of its coordinates 0-0-0.

More generally, when looking up slang terms and swears, consider where it comes from. I wouldn’t expect a Corellian to say the Mando’a swear shab. Though, the Huttese fierfek seems to be universal. The swear kriffing is also a common one.

stormears

Bless you all for compiling this!

mylastmoment

Further swear words include karabast, kriff(ing) and kark(ing).

Lightsabers short out in water unless turned to a special mode beforehand!

I’ve also seen “plastoid” referred to as “plastisteel”.

Pens/pencils are generally referred to as a stylus.

There is a difference between a ship and a speeder; ships are like planes or boats in terms of they are for long-distance space travel. Speeders are like cars or motorbikes; for planetary travel.
