Ian McDiarmid and Christopher Lee are caught playing Star Wars video games.

Honestly this is true for so many Star Wars characters but I feel like these two are the most glaring examples

Obi Wan saying "Sith lords are our speciality" to the sith lord organizing the Clone Wars, standing next to one of the future strongest sith lords in history, while his former grand-padawan is fighting the sith lord he thought he killed, then preceding to get his ass kicked by another sith lord is objectivly one of the funiest things hes ever done.

Palpatine and her entourage reimagining a galaxy

Yapping, au recap, and process below vvv

I recently learned Tarkin and Dooku were canonically friends and it brought me joy fjfjdk because if you didn’t know, I love Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee a lot ;w; especially their duo (no one ask me to talk about hammer movies, I've seen 37 of them and am therefore not normal about them-)

Also the fact Tarkin is *so much* younger than Dooku (something like 40 years ?) is very funny to me- then I realized I could do a young Tarkin designed based on 40 yo Peter Cushing (Frankenstein 1 Cush... I might be a lesbian but-) and hmmmmm I'll definitely come back to her. For scientific reasons ofc

Oh star wars sapphic au I missed you, and I'm very happy my motivation is coming back <3

I like to think that Dooku factors into Vader's belief that there is no coming back from the dark side

As we see in the film, Anakin is never really comfortable with his execution of Dooku, for all that he hates Dooku Anakin knows that killing him was wrong, he feels guilty about it, Dooku was defeated disarmed and helpless, it weighs on Anakin's conscious, despite the fact that Dooku was truly evil and fallen

But if there is no coming back from the dark, that's a relief on Anakin/Vader's conscious, because in that case what Anakin did wasn't wrong, it was the only choice, no coming back means killing Dooku wasn't cruelty, it was like putting down a sick, dying, or rabid animal, its just something you have to do

And in turn, this may also be why Vader is so adamant that he is too stained in the soul to leave the dark side, because if he can, then Dooku could've too, which means Anakin didn't just murder a defenseless defeated enemy, he also denied them the chance at redemption, staying in the dark means Anakin doesn't have to face what he's done, as long as he is irredeemable so was Dooku

I think I have finally found a fandom pet peeve when it comes to the extended Star Wars universe.

And that is when people refer to just any forcer user as a Jedi, and any dark force user a Sith.

Please. People I am begging. Being a force user does not make a Jedi. It is an organization. a religion. you have to WANT to be a Jedi and follow the Jedi Code to actually BE a Jedi.

And its the same for the Sith! It is considered to be a religion in the star wars universe, but it would be more aptly named a cult. To be a sith, you'd have to devote yourself to their customs. While not a lot is known about the Sith and how exactly they operated, we do get some aspects. for instance, the rule of two. A master, and an apprentice. No more, no less.

But for both religions, they have their own codes, beliefs, practices, rituals, historical knowleged that gets passed down. Regular, anyday force users would not have access to any of these things.

And! just because a Jedi has "fallen" does not automatically make them a Sith!!! Just because both Dooku and Anakin decided to be dramatic and go tits up to the dark side and become Sith, does not mean that any fallen Jedi would be a Sith!

And just to clarify, this is all light hearted. I will still read and consume fanworks that do not acknowledge this distinction. This is just something that I noticed was pretty common in the fandom, and it just ticks the little autistic "Urmm, actually ☝️🤓" button in my brain and I wanted to rant a little about it.

But yeah, feel free to share your own fandom pet peeves!
