Transmissions From The First Order

Welcome aboard the Star Destroyer Finalizer. (I love all things Kylo Ren and First Order and am Kylux/Stormpilot/Jedistormpilot trash - I will follow from Gardens-of-Gehenna!)

Honestly it didn’t make me truly laugh until Darth Vader came tootling tooting out and then I lost it.

My German comprehension is not what it was fifteen years ago but all that “fröliche Weihnacht” at the end is “merry Christmas” so I guess this is seasonal somehow???

Why are you promoting drug use on your blog

This may sound mean, but...

If you send me an ask containing links to Good Omens fan fiction you think I should read, I'll delete it. Do it again and I'll (regretfully) block you. This is a general blanket sort of thing -- I don't want to read it, legally I can't read it, no I won't make it into the next series, and, no matter how pure your motives, it's crossing a line.

A reminder for the kiddies who are way too young to remember the Anne Rice days... and for the adults definitely old enough to know better but too dense to Get It Through Their Heads Without It Being Oft Repeated And Said With Profanity.

Do Not Send Authors/Artists/Etc Your Fanfics. Ever. It opens them *and you* up to loads of potential legal issues, and is just... weird.

It crosses lots of just weird personal and also LOADS of legal boundaries, and it is *not* something you should do. Even if the author in question (in this case, Neil) supports the right of fans to participate in creation of derivative fan works, that is not an invitation to send them to him. He legally cannot read them. Period.

Seriously, y'all, knock it the hell off.

Also - do y'all wanna revisit the Anne Rice days where fan-authors got cease and desist letters and threats of being sued? Because I'm old enough to remember those days and don't want to go back to worrying about that nightmare.

For a primer on that drama... here's some reading material:

Safety warnings from the Nintendo Wii’s Japanese manual

"I think the overriding factor on Obi-Wan's ship and all of the Jedi ships… is that I wanted them to be reminiscent of the design of the Star Destroyers and the Imperial ships, because ultimately that's where those ships grew out of: out of the former guardians of peace and justice in the universe, which were the Jedi. I didn't particularly want - for thematic reasons - that to shift. I wanted to keep that wedge-shape design."

- George Lucas, Attack of the Clones, Commentary Track 2, 2002

It’s a pattern in Star Wars of taking the things that are associated with the Jedi--not just the Jedi themselves, not even murdering all of them, but taking everything that was even associated with them--and turning them into weapons of the Empire. They do it with lightsabers during the Clone Wars, where no longer seeing a lightsaber is just the Jedi or the Republic, but with people like Dooku and Grievous now as well.  Vader literally steals a Jedi’s kyber crystal, because Palpatine instructs him as a Sith that that’s the way to move forward--by stealing and crushing and bleeding and rewriting everything that a Jedi was. They do it with the Jedi Temple, turning it into the Imperial Palace:

There’s a whole huge running theme in the supplementary material about how Palpatine and the Empire not only hunted down Jedi, but they made speaking of them something you would “disappear” for, they literally taught students that the Jedi were a criminal gang during the Republic, they took over planets’ holonets and made them air Imperial propaganda. Palpatine didn’t just kill the Jedi on a physical level, he did his level best to murder their memory, their hope, their legacy, their everything. In the time of the Empire, you can’t look at anything from the Jedi without thinking of how it was stolen and used for the Empire’s purposes now.
