Padmé and Anakin would be proud of who Luke and Leia became. But you know who else would be proud of their children?

We don’t talk about Leia killing Jabba enough. Her grandmother and father were born into slavery. Her blood was that of the desert sand and the shackles of bondage. Leia was never more a Skywalker than the day she strangled her slave master with the very chains he used to bind her. The daughter of Anakin Skywalker was the one who killed Tatooine’s most notorious slaver, and I find that really beautiful.

Hi friends! With the Mandalorian and Grogu trailer up now and all of us getting hyped for a new Star Wars movie, I thought I'd share some of the Mandalorian-inspired tees I've made over the years! A lot of these have Aurebesh or Mando'a, so translations are provided. Most of these are also available as crewnecks and/or hoodies, but if there's a design you'd like to see on a different type of shirt let me know! Shop is here.

Shop is here. Love y'all!

100% always subscribe to the idea that when Anakin says "I don't like sand. It's course, rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere" it is not as dumb as it sounds because theres a language barrier here

What he's trying to do is refer to a particular type of sand, and make a comparative metaphor to the sand on Naboo (iirc theyre looking out over a lake with a shore) and also the cultures of the two places.

However, Huttese and/or Amatakka would have many words for sand of all different kinds (like how Inuit languages have lots of words for snow), so while he is referring to something specific, it just comes out as sand. The descriptors after are course correcting in order to clarify what kind of sand he means.

So what he's trying to say is "on Tatooine we have course, rough and irritating sand (and metaphorically my home planet was very hostile). But here on Naboo you have nice smooth sand (and metaphorically you're all really nice and live peaceful, luxurious lives)". Its a compliment to her planet and how safe and relaxed he feels around her. Also sand metaphors are probably very commonplace in Anakin's vocabulary since all his native languages and his formative years revolve around an environment with pretty much just sand.

it is so poetic that two of the most important people in obi wans life are both so sun coded but on different ends of the spectrum

makes you think about the twin suns on tatooine and about how maybe obi wan was alwas tied to tatooine by fate
