Fennec slapped this baby on the back of the Slave I to commemorate the time Boba Fett saved her ass in the desert.

In the “Fox Beheads Palpatine” universe, can I propose "Thunderous Applause" as the name of his sword?

Commander Fox: Hey Palpatine, what do liberty and the Supreme Chancellor have in common?

*chop*

Commander Fox: They both die to Thunderous Applause 8)

A quick DIY punk t-shirt painting tutorial inspired by @irlkenku's ask!

I work in costuming, so I’m like... always 100% down to share my process! Though I can’t guarantee this is the best or fastest way to do this (I think I spent almost 30 hours on this thing between creating the stencil, sewing the shirt, and all the painting :X OOPS), it’s what worked for me! Meat Droids Shirt process under the cut:

(Meat Droids concept and design credit to @keldabekush )

1. I made the stencil on paper first, and then transferred it to the shirt using a chalk marker (you can see the holographic sleeves I made in this picture! ^-^)

As for paints, I used these:

(I ended up using a weird mix of paints because I told myself I wasn’t allowed to spend money on this, and it’s what I had on hand LOL. The tube of aqua green is a heavy body acrylic, which I have learned from years of painting armor, will give you a lot more coverage per coat, but it's still just acrylic. The pink and yellow are fluorescent/neon paints, so that's why they glow super pretty in the blue low light.)

2. Make sure you have cardboard or something inside the shirt to keep paint from transferring to the back.

3.I started tracing in the chalk outline on the shirt with white paint.

This was probably the biggest time sink, but any lighter color isn’t going to show up unless you have a super flat white base.

I think I ended up lining it twice (to make sure I had a super clean edge everywhere) before going in with a bigger brush and filling in every shape with white.

This was after the 2nd coat. I ended up going in with another coat of white after this pic, just to be sure it was opaque. 3 total. I designed the stencil to have breaks in the design so I didn't end up with one big stiff sheet of paint.

4. Then it was time for colors! I went in with the aqua color first and got a few coats of that down, and then I blocked out the "paint streaks" across the face in opaque white again. You can see me starting to block them out in the pic below: (To be clear: I did ANOTHER coat of white on top of the aqua on the places where the fluorescent would go across the droid’s face, because I wanted the paint streaks to be SUPER bright!)

5. I probably did 3-ish coats of the aqua. Then I filled in the two streaks across the droid’s face with a few coats of neon pink and yellow. Afterwards, I shaded the droid with a dark blue and highlighted the lil dude with fluorescent yellow!

Add a little dark red for blooooooood:

And you’re ready to fight the Empire at a space rave babey!

It’s cherishing ARC Trooper Jesse hours.

Thinking about how the writers in season 7 could have had Maul get the information on Ahsoka from any number of other people/unnamed clone troopers in the episode right before Order 66 happens, but they chose Jesse to give up the information against his will and live with the guilt of it.

I remember while I was watching it for the first time, that scene felt a little long and kind of sickening, given what was to come.

And then I realized. Oh. Every one of these soldiers (Other than Rex, of course) will never get a chance to be themselves again after Order 66. We’ll never get to see their guilt or grief.

So here’s someone we know and love. Here’s Jesse, as good a trooper as you could hope for, who’s somehow managed to make it through the war, all the way to the end. For sure, it feels a little sadistic to make him suffer through a mind-control betrayal arc right before he spearheads Order 66 for the 501st.

But! On the other hand, I think it’s actually very kind. Maybe later, on the Tribunal, Jesse will remember this first time he was forced to betray his brothers: the time when he got a chance be himself again afterwards, a chance to apologize, and have someone say “It’s okay.” and forgive him.

Fun Star Wars Fact: Commander Fox got his nickname because he yelled “fuck!” way too much during training, and “Fox” was the closest word his buddies could think to call him without anyone getting in trouble for saying a Swear Word.

[commanderfoxy]

Just saw someone describe Fox’s death as “Justice for Fives”, and like... no offense... but I think the last thing Fives would want is for one of his brainwashed brothers get his neck snapped by an unhinged, Ex-Jedi on a rampage in an act of petty, dehumanizing violence.

Actually full offense.

Nothing will ever be funnier to me in the Star Wars universe than the writers refusing to use the phrase “sugar coating”, opting instead for the obviously way cooler and not-at-all stupid sounding phrase “sweet shell” (????????)

And in the next breath use the word “workhorse” as if ANY of these galactic dipshits has ever seen a horse before.
