She projected the notes that her mother had recently transmitted to her into the space around her, casting a pale blue halo of light, the only light in the darkened room, around her. This one commanded her focus:

What accounts for this pathology is the false positing of the good alongside with the evil, the fact that one takes the good as simply being the opposite of what is evil and furthermore the fact that one places these two opposites side by side - presenting thus oneself with a dilemma.

But no such dilemma between good and evil can be maintained. To posit the good alongside the evil equates the one with the other, as if the good were no different from the evil except insofar as one is good while the evil is evil. It is precisely this mistake that allows for the danger of ethical relativism, that is, of the undoing of ethics, for it does not take long before one starts asking what makes the good good or by whose standards is it good.

With this idea from Manoussakis was her mother’s note: 

Foolish, deceptive Jedi. Things cannot be seen in extremes. It is not just black and white. And who defines the dark? Who defines the light? Who are they to decide? Questions I think Anakin may have pondered (and may have been urged by master Jedi to repress), but through a lens of despair, fear of loneliness and losing love, and desperation, it led him to choose the dark side, that led him to think that he had to choose one over the other, when maybe there was no need to choose but just to find balance.

As she set out to transpose those thoughts onto the parchment, she sensed Ben enter the darkened archives and stealth his way into the room with her.

Never looking anywhere but down at her work, she smirked, wondering why he moved so quietly when she knew that he knew that she could sense his presence.  Preferring to work in isolation, she wished that she could not sense him, but even if she did not have that ability, soon enough, his clumsy command of his body betrayed his stealth as he knocked into a cart of old data cartridges. His lanky body soon towered over her workspace.

Threads of these thoughts intersected. Woven in ink, onto the parchment, they then wrapped around his curiosity and drew him to the effervescent silvers, reds, violets amongst the sharp, thin black lines. The words whispered and called out to Ben, simultaneously, a then unrealized, siren prose: the Jedi created Vader. With their repression, their ancient, archaic, un-evolved beliefs, their blind belief in a definition of “good” -- just a description but no verifiably authoritative source of its definition -- was imposed on Anakin’s critical thinking. His freedom of thought, restricted. His enlightened thought, of what Jedi could be if they did not blindly follow ancient lore as law but instead developed a more evolved ethic, was dismissed. A refusal to revisit deeply held beliefs was brought to light by Anakin and they refused this call from the one they believed fulfilled their own prophecy. If they weren’t going to listen to who they believed was prophesied to bring balance to the force, then perhaps they did need to be destroyed in hopes that from the ashes a more sensible order could be established. Through this warping of Anakin, they created Vader then worked to demonize him.

He stepped away from the grasp of these words, detaching his gaze from the page. Thoughts that he had wanted to express but hid deep inside were laid out bare in the signifiers drawn on the page, released before him through her hand.

Yes!!!

I am going to give my unwanted opinion on what I want to see happen to Kylo Ren in the upcoming films. So buckle up people.

As much as I would love, love, love, love, LOVE a redemption story for Kylo Ren I have come to realize that what I would love even more is to see him just completely fall into darkness. I don’t know if its because I’m just really over “Happily Ever Afters” right now, or maybe I’m just too much a pessimist but I really find redemption stories cliche right now.

 I want to see Kylo Ren just become completely engulfed in rage and sadness. I want to see more of him getting hurt, pounding his wounds, and completely annihilating his enemies. I want to see him just lose himself to the Dark Side completely. I’m sure there’s something wrong with me…..being completely attracted to a character who has no hope of being redeemed.

I think this scenario is completely attainable too. Considering our beloved Carrie Fisher has left us(RIP General), I could see them tying this into his descent into complete and utterly unredeemable chaos. I mean imagine….he killed his own father, and now soon he’s going to find out his mother died (I’m assuming that’s how they are going to do things). I mean IMAGINE. The one piece of light in his life is now gone. GONE. I mean, no one knows how long Snoke has been messing with Ren’s head. He’s been waiting for something to change so that he can dig his hooks into him even deeper. And now this is the perfect catalyst to basically ensure Ren never turns back to the light. 

So in conclusion, I am 100% ready for a full blown Kylo Ren, Sith Lord. 

Pop! Deluxe: Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Kylo in TIE Fighter

I am unable to handle how delicious he is here

When you realize that by the end of TLJ, this guy is the most powerful man in the Galaxy

Kylo Ren is effectively ruling the Galaxy by the end of The Last Jedi when he killed and took over Snoke’s position as De-Facto Leader of The First Order

By extension, he took over Snoke’s position as Leader of High Command, making him Commander-in-Chief of the FO Military Council 

KYLO NOW HOLDS THE TITLE SUPREME LEADER OF THE FIRST ORDER

AKA THE FORMER GALACTIC EMPIRE, aka, THE PROGENY OF EMPEROR PALPATINE’S REGIME. THIS IS A FEAT HIS GRANDFATHER NEVER MANAGED TO ACCOMPLISH BUT CRAVED TO SO BADLY.

I just realized you asked about my daily routine on Starkiller, and I drew the Finalizer.  BUT IT’S BASICALLY THE SAME, HONESTLY, just the windows look different.

Sweet Vader’s Respirator! This is fantastic! Credit: @avanaut - Well, there was one more photo to post this year after all, a photo of the Lego TIE Striker I took for a @stuckinplastic piece. I posted an alternative version of this a few days ago but this is the real mccoy. . I struggled to decide whether Vader should have his lightsaber blazing in this or not. Having both, the cockpit and the lightsaber did not work. I tried all the different variations. For the Stuck in Plastic piece I chose the version with the red cockpit, this was about the Striker after all. . The decision wasn’t merely because of the subject first, it was also because this was the better exposure. The blizzard behaved perfectly on this. . The story in this is about Vader being stressed out and the wing layout of the Striker is good when retreating for meditation on desolate locations, such as Hoth. - #regrann
