Star Wars Fan art (romance novel cover style, more specifically a tribute to the cover of the mid-1980's first edition of Johanna Lindsey's Tender is the Storm) by @gutlesswunder (2020). Source
Hux is not amused here (uuuh i still don't know how to draw but i tried hard )
I think it says a lot that Black actors who've had otherwise illustrious or stable careers like Samuel L. Jackson, or are on the come-up like John Boyega, Crystal Clarke, and Naomie Ackie, effectively end up taking or being put in roles in Star Wars that shrinks them or barely give them anything resembling a starring role.
Many people realized this after seeing what someone like Jacob Anderson could do with a role like Louis de Pointe du Lac in Interview with the Vampire, after spending years watching him as Greyworm in Game of Thrones.
And then when they get roles that otherwise elevate them to the same status as white characters (Moses Ingram and Amandla Stenberg), external and internal forces work to make their experience miserable or ensure their characters never exist in that space again.
It's something that Rosario Dawson can basically put on orange makeup, play an alien, still bear features that make her (Ahsoka) Black-by-association, and effectively dodge the broader racist backlash that the aforementioned actresses experienced just by existing as themselves as human characters.
When the Black actors associated with the franchise know and understand why the broader non-Black fandom 'adores' the likes of Lando and Mace as their go-to examples for the "diversity" and "anti-racism" of either themselves or the franchise itself, and won't give either the opportunity to use that as a viable defense, your property is fucked.
For my lovely @thekyluxsecretsanta giftee @artemisdart - I'm sorry this is late and probably not quite what you wanted, but you did say *glove kink*. So have some Kylux glove close-ups (and two scandalous wrists!)
