oops my hand slipped and suddenly some mara and luke appeared ?? inspired by this pic

I’m gonna give an emphatic and speedy no..

A petition has been made to call upon LucasFilm to recast Leia with Meryl Streep being Leia..No...No no no...absolutely not. Everyone knows how I feel about TLJ, but I accept everything of that, just please for the love of God LF, do NOT do as the petition asks.

“Look into my eyes and you’ll see the family you thought you never had. You will find a love and a bond that you felt was always there, but it was somehow missing for most of your life. You will find someone who would be willing to fight and die for you at any moment..a best friend until the very end. Know one thing; when one of us becomes one with the force, remember, no one’s ever really gone.”

Shoutout to @rogue-leader-jedi

They’re one of the best and nicest Luke Skywalker rpers here! ❤️I had the hardest time finding a Luke that did rp the EU version until I found them. I just want to have some positivity on the dash.

Thank you! And you’ll always be one of a kind, my little starshine!

The point where I became certain that TLJ had more respect for Kylo than for Finn was when we were shown how their wounds from the end of the last movie were treated.

We see the stages Kylo goes through to heal his, from freshly-bruised-up-&-bandaged to a team of droids meticulously stitching his cheek back together with synthetic skin. Rian Johnson himself even went out of his way to have Kylo Ren’s scar redesigned from the last movie, because, as he said, “it looked goofy.” With so much time and effort put into a single scratch on the face, that must mean Finn getting stabbed in the shoulder and nearly having his spine severed by Kylo Ren’s lightsaber will be talked about and dealt with in great detail!

Nope.

Neither of Finn’s wounds, which were so severe they put him into a *coma*, I’d like to remind you, are ever mentioned or seen. Meanwhile, we get about six scenes centered on Kylo’s lil boo-boo.

“But Pop, he was in that bacta suit thingy! Obviously the Resistance had better healing technology! Don’t be so nitpicky.”

Mhm. Yes. The struggling, underfunded, undermanned Resistance has better healthcare than the evil superpower run by all the richest people from the former evil superpower. OKAY! SURE!

They don’t mention Finn’s wounds once. Not once. Even if you think TLJ is the greatest Star Wars movie to date, think about that for a second. Think if they had just glossed over Luke having a metal hand, or skipped straight to Han being right as rain the moment he was pulled out of carbonite he’d been stuck in for years. How cheated would you have felt? How many great scenes would have been lost?

Just think about it.

Hi, this is an excellent post and I just wanted to add one thing that has been bugging me. IMO, the heart of the matter is this:

This is NOT how Star Wars treats its heroes.

You’ve already mentioned Luke’s hand and Han getting frozen in carbonite, but imo even more similar situation is when Luke gets attacked by a wampa at the beginning of ESB. Now, a wampa is no Kylo Ren. It looks like a weird cross between a goat and an orangutan and Luke doesn’t have to duel it to escape. But he does get hurt and then almost freezes to death and must spend a lot of time in bacta. What translates the severity of the in-universe situation to the audience is Han and Leia’s reaction. They are clearly worried, they are there when he wakes up and even though Han and Luke banter, the humour is heartfelt and no one makes jokes about how he looked in the bacta tank.

Now compare that to what happens to Finn. His injuries are so serious he requires some sort of special suit, yet no one (except Rey, who’s light years away) is all that worried. Sure Poe looks concerned when he sees him, but this is after Finn wakes up from a coma, alone, and the entire scene is played for laughs, complete with him banging his head and falling to the floor. Think about that - Finn is supposed to be our hero, yet the film tells us that all his experience at Starkiller amounts to is a bout of physical comedy. And before he gets to Poe, he’s apparently allowed to wander out of the infarmary, without anyone noticing? If he’s ‘the Finn’ to the Resistance members, why do they not care when he clearly needs help? Even Poe’s sympathy is undermined by BB-8′s ‘joke’. No, BB-8 doesn’t make a joke, he’s just trying to describe things, yet this is clearly supposed to make the audience laugh at Finn’s expense, once again undermining the severity of his inujuries and glossing over his experience at Starkiller.

This is of course horrible all on its own, but when you also consider the lengths RJ is trying to go to make us ‘sympathize’ with a man who got injured after killing his father and attemting to kill two others, it’s pretty damning.

rogue-leader-jedi

Spot on, but it should be noted that RJ is an avid Kylo fanboy, so this doesn’t come as a shock.

To Us She Is Royalty

Today we as a community remember the loss we suffered a year ago. A major hit in the stomach, a year ago today we lost our princess Carrie Fisher. We lost someone who was stubborn at times, someone who outspokenly battled her demons. We lost her quick wit, we lost her beautiful smile that could light up a million cities. We lost a gentle soul who is probably in heaven giving the middle finger in her own little charming way. We lost an idol to millions of young girls and grown women all around the world. We lost one of the most brilliant people that we have ever been gifted to grow up with and to know.

I’ve shared my remembrance, but this is not what this post is for. I want to take this time and make this post about someone who lost more in Carrie than we ever did. I want to talk about her daughter Billie. I want to talk about a young woman who not only lost her mother, but also her grandmother. Two people who were her world in the span of 48 hours. A young woman who four months later did something she never had to do. She appeared at Star Wars celebration 2017 in Orlando to be at the 40th anniversary panel in honor of her mother. This is something she didn’t have to do, but she wanted to, because she knew she wasn’t alone. She knew how much her mother loved adored this community. Each and every one of you. I was in that room for the panel, I was but rows away from Billie as she spoke about her mother. I could see the hurt and the heartbreak in her eyes. I listened to John Williams orchestrate the Princess’ theme and tears were shed by every single person in the room, but it was silent. Only the music was heard.

Billie is such a strong young woman and she will forever be in our thoughts and will always be considered a member of our family, at least I like to think. Billie will be loved by all of us just as we loved her mother so dearly. And the only line from The Last Jedi I will ever recite, because it is fitting. Luke’s final words to Leia:

“No one is ever really gone.”

Goodbye princess, we love you.

#Carrie Fisher #To Me She's Royalty #Forever Our Princess

It’s been a year today since the world lost someone truly special. It’s been a year since the Star Wars community as a whole lost its princess. Carrie was stubborn, she was beautiful, intelligent, headstrong, she battled negatives in life with humor and dignity. She never did shy away from her demons and inner turmoil, she spoke about it and that’s something not everyone does. She was one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever had the honor to meet. I remember the day I met her, I was young and depressed. I went to a celebration years ago. I wasn’t too happy with my life. I don’t want to get too into detail as it’s rather personal, but I’ll just leave it at the fact that she saved my life that weekend and called me her space twin for the weekend (I had went as a young Luke). I love you and I’ll always miss you space twin. #CarrieFisher #restinpeace #ForeverOurPrincess

Rian Johnson: *starts talking about Luke’s characterization*

Mark Hamill: Amazing… everything you just said in that sentence is wrong.

classifiedxrey-a

so yeah the ‘you’re nothing’ line is awful and abusive and manipulative and should disqualify kylo ren from any positive relationship with rey ever and the fact that people are romanticising it is frankly disgusting but let’s also remind ourselves of some other moments in tlj:

rey’s first instinct on seeing ren was to shoot him

ren’s first instinct on seeing rey was to attempt to force her to bring luke to him, his motives are clear from the start

she spends their first three interactions insulting him, rebuffing him and generally telling him to fuck off

the force “”bond”” is non consensual. rey never consented to it. ren never consented either but when he realised what it was, he instantly began using it to manipulate rey for his own purposes.

the true force bond (which this is not) is not inherently romantic. previous force bonds include erza and darth maul as well as luke and leia. claiming that this bond is romantic is similar to claiming the connection between harry and voldemort in order of the phoenix is romantic when it’s sole narrative purpose is to manipulate the hero and for the hero to eventually overcome it

she is extremely uncomfortable in his presence for their first interactions

ren manipulates rey into putting herself into a situation that would make her more emotionally vulnerable and feel completely and utterly alone because he wanted something from her aka luke’s location and her power

she didn’t want to turn him because she cared about him, she wanted to turn him for strategic value for the resistance

they don’t care about each other, just what the other person can bring to their side

they only get along for five minutes before realising that their goals are completely incompatible with one another and the immediate reaction of ren is to begin insulting, manipulating and degrading rey.

rey turned ren down, cementing their places on opposing sides

rey left ren for dead on a ship that was about to blow up. this is literally the second time that she has done this in five days.

ren ordered the falcon blown out of the sky with a high probability that rey was on it

seriously, he sent his entire air support to shoot down his father’s ship. the ship he knew rey had arrived on and that chewbacca was definitely on.

one of ren’s final lines in the movie is a promise to ‘destroy her [rey], and you and all of it’. sounds pretty comprehensive to me when you consider he attempted to murder luke moments later

when ren attempted to reconnect with rey through the bond, she rejected him metaophorically and physically

rey looked happier hugging finn and talking to poe for a combined 25 seconds than she has talking to ren. ever. full stop. period. end of.

speaking of the scene with poe, this is a direct response to the ‘you’re nothing’ line. it’s there to show rey and the audience that ren was wrong and she’s not nothing. that she is both someone and important.

in conclusion, romanticising any of this is romanticising the emotional abuse and manipulation of a 19 year old girl who has gone through a lot emotionally in the past five or so days we’ve known her and have been following her journey. r*ylo is nothing but a shocking case study in how we as a society are conditioned to believe that a woman’s abuse, discomfort and pain is sexy if there’s a mildly attractive white man involved. thank you for coming to my ted talk.
