Ahsoka’s “are you cross-wired?!” as a direct quote from Rex is making me feel things

REXXXX!!!!! I was so happy to see him

OBI-WAN KENOBI, PART VI 

[assiraphales]

not to be dramatic or anything but vader’s natural voice infused with the mechanical while his respirator fails in a wheezing scream bathed in the light of a lightsaber with half his mask cut off while he faces the person he’s spent half his life loving and half his life hating is lowkey one of the hardest scenes in live action star wars history

[sirikenobi12]

I'd like to take a moment and appreciate Bail Organa - a man who without thought to his own safety rushes towards the burning Jedi temple to try to help, then takes it upon himself to try and find Yoda and/or any other survivors because he KNOWS the Jedi wouldn't betray the Republic.

He then without any hesitation adopts Leia, despite all the danger it would bring him and Breha (and Breha agrees to it), he loves and raises her as his own.

Despite the continued dangers of being a known Jedi sympathizer he remains in the Imperial Senate, secretly helping organize the Rebellion and introduces the Fulcrum program.

Then while his daughter is god knows where he immediately offers to rush to Tatooine to protect Luke since Obi-Wan isn't there. Even though this likely means Leia is hurt or dead.

Bail Organa is a hero, and I think one of the first true Jedi-stans!!!

I love the Organas!!!

Look, if the Jedi were a "corrupt" institution that "needed" to end the music that swells while they're being slaughtered wouldn't be one of the saddest pieces of film scores known to man - it would be triumphant instead (you know like when the Empire is defeated).

That's how movies work.

There is no hidden meaning, there is no "atchually!", the Jedi were the good guys plain and simple.

PS: the piece of music that the Jedi all die to is literally called "Anakin's betrayal"...so, I think John Williams and George Lucas have made their feelings on the subject very clear.

[gildatheplant]

I mean, Star Wars is one of the largest and most blatantly obvious “good vs. evil” stories in cinema history. Everything about the movies shows the stark difference in the galaxy after the Jedi are killed- the set designs of the prequels vs. the OT are perhaps even more blatant than the music.

I remember critics of the prequels (when they first came out) were like, “If the Original Trilogy takes place 20 years in the future, how come everything in the past looks shinier, brighter and more advanced?”

And George Lucas shot back, “That’s the point. When the Empire took over, destroyed the Republic and murdered all the Jedi, the entire galaxy became a darker, uglier place. That’s why I wanted the prequels to look more polished- it reflects how much better off the galaxy was when the Jedi and Republic were around.”

[hashtagloveloses]

it also always strikes me as particularly horrifying that certain star wars fans think committing a genocide against the followers of a religion for their beliefs, blaming them for their own oppression, is somehow the more progressive view of the story. especially when the twisted view of the jedi, through anakin’s eyes, was planted and manipulated there by YEARS of palpatine’s deliberate action. i hear people spout literal anti-jedi imperial propaganda and im like? and what? you think you’re the enlightened one here?

many people’s beef with the jedi comes from their internal issues with religious trauma, specifically western christian religious trauma, that they project on the jedi when seeing anakin’s manipulated view of the jedi as some sort of religious repression. the jedi are not similar to christianity at all. unpack that with yourself.

this is why i am so grateful for the high republic. it shows the jedi as they really were before palpatine’s manipulations, even in times where they had to make difficult and sometimes even wrong choices. the jedi didn’t fall. they were TORN DOWN. just like the rest of the republic.

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

I sincerely don’t understand what Filoni, Favreau, and Robert Rodriguez were thinking when it comes to “The Book of Boba Fett”. Y’all had only seven episodes to work with. Instead of using that short season length to tell Boba’s story, they used two episodes to promote other “Star Wars” shit and introduced one of the main bad guys in the episode right before the finale.

Was there really no way to keep the story focused on Boba? “The Mandalorian” season 3 is right there, there was no reason to have ANY Din storylines in Boba’s show. Why even write a story that required Din to be in it, isn’t this supposed to be about Boba? Also, wow, instead of developing Cad Bane’s character, they just used him as a cheap surprise character reveal.

I think we’ve reached our limit when it comes to fanservice. It’s starting to ruin shows since the makers seem to be more worried about shoving in all these fan favorite characters without thinking about how they’d fit in with the story. I get that cameos get the people going, but after the initial high, you need to actually do SOMETHING with these characters!

[jediknobi]

I really don't get why they didn't show Cad Bane sooner. Why not build some tension from the start? Why not show him working for the bad guys sooner, why not throw some shots of his hat hiding his eyes and give him mysterious lines about already knowing Boba Fett, why not make us care about this final fight between them? Because I'm 100% certain that people who haven't watched the clone wars (so most casual viewers) won't care that much about the blue guy introduced in 3 minutes in the previous episode being killed by Boba, no matter how cool his entrance was

[clonehub]

This is my Star Wars oc Omega Fett! She’s the last clone the ever made that’s how she got her name! She’s boba’s little sister and a jango clone but the force made her a white cis girl! She’s treated like a princess for some reason,

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IVE SEEN ACTUAL FICS LIKE THIS

[rylandgraces]

If someone came up to me today and said “tumblr user keanurevees if you could have one wish come true what would it be” I would put master shifu from kung fu panda into the star wars prequels. He would take one look at anakin and roundhouse kick him so hard that the dark side would visibly fly out of his body and into a different dimension. Him and obi wan would play rock paper scissors during council meetings and piss off mace windu. Every day he would challenge yoda to a duel because there can only be one raccoon in the jedi temple. Palpatine wouldn’t even get past the phantom menace. No one is immune to the wuxi finger hold

[clonehub]

Every day the crew moves closer and closer to just straight up calling Echo an inhuman droid and every day the crew moves closer and closer to making Wrecker too much of a slow dunce to really be helpful.

[clonettroopers]

also did i just miss it or is it explained WHY the b@d b@tch know the lawquanes? did rex tell them?

[clonehub]

they just said "we have a well established relationship with this deserter and his family!!" and didn't explain

[blackkatmagic]

I think one of the things that bothers me about the Bad Batch, just conceptually, is that the setup could have been used for a really neat trope reversal. You could have had the BB turning up, thinking themselves vastly superior to “regs”, and then figuring out over the course of their interactions that they’re different, yes, but all the other clones are special in their own way. It could have reinforced TCW’s long-running theme of the clones not just being numbers. Instead of the Bad Batch proving themselves right over and over in a boring montage and making Torrent and Rex recognize that they really are Extra Special, it could have been a lesson on not jumping to judgement and writing people off, which is something SW usually seems to support.

But instead, we got the weird, uncomfortable message of “no you really do need to be Genetically Different to be Special” after seven seasons of the clones establishing that genetics have no bearing on individuality. It’s such a shame. 

[gffa]

I swear I read an interview where either Jennifer Corbett or Brad Rau or someone said that the reason they had the “reg” clones looking alike in the background was because the Empire was forcing them all to wear uniforms and have regulation haircuts and stuff. Which, in theory, would have been really interesting to explore, how the galaxy keeps spinning and the galaxy keeps finding new ways to be fucking horrible to the clones and give them the rawest deal ever.  How it keeps trying to strip their humanity from them, time and again. But instead they’re just there in the background, nothing has been done with them so far, nothing about that story is actually on the clones themselves.  Can you look at them and figure out that that’s what’s going on?  Sure.  But how much more powerful would it have been to actually shown the bad batch interacting with “reg” clones and learning that story first-hand, instead of just making them low-key antagonists to fight their way past?  How much more powerful would it have been for the “enhanced” clones to work side by side with “reg” clones and learn that everyone really is individual and everyone has meaning, even when the Empire tries to force them back into being little more than sentient droids?

[quinlanvoss]

get your shit together star wars

[aclanofthree]

imagine din djarin and luke skywalker going to a party at boba's place after he kills bib fortuna. boba would tell din that he can bring anyone he wants so he brings a fucking jedi knight because he has no clue what the plot of a star war is
