Threepio: *full-on gibbering breakdown*
Artoo: *unfazed beeping*
Threepio, cutting off mid gibbering breakdown: you knew?
Artoo: *continued beeping*
Threepio: what do you mean, you were there?
Luke: wait what
Artoo, rolling away to go do droid things:
Luke: Artoo get back here right now
Artoo: *innocent whistling*
Luke: Artoo??
Happy November 5th, what gay character should we send to superhell this year
Sequel trilogy has a lot of very cool incredibly powerful characters, unfortunately it suffers from a chronic lack of Random Dude TM
andor and mando s1 are different beasts in many ways, i dont compare them often, but they do/did both have one key asset star wars should never have abandoned: a regular working class guy everyone wants to fuck real bad
Sorry not sorry to make this about star wars, but this is exactly where I think star wars fails with Padme! The way she never shows up, is barely mentioned after her death, despite how much she affected the galaxy, both positively and negatively! They treat her like she only haunts Vader and maybe obi-wan, and that's not true. She haunts the narrative, and that's a whole different thing. We should clearly see the ghost of her legacy in every damn movie, but instead I just get glimpses so vague I wonder if I'm imagining it...
I love how Suguru is like the queen of haunting the narrative. His relationship to Satoru affects and directs him constantly. Jujutsu high's failure of him affects every single character from Yaga and Shoko to second years. Not to mention his literal dead body being taken over to shape the narrative.
It's amazing how he's dead from beginning to the end and is still present every moment of the story.
obi wan kenobi + force suggestion
The fact that obimaul isn't a more popular ship makes me crazy. How do more people not see it.
They're narrative foils. Maul survives a killing blow because the thought of Kenobi kept him alive, and what is obsession but a mirror of devotion? Obi-Wan is the master of defense and Maul is the master of offense. Obi-Wan's first and last kill of his life is Maul. The trajectory of their lives is extraordinary similar until the Same Duel sends them shooting off into opposite directions and defines them both for decades. A duel that teaches Obi-Wan the feeling of revenge that will haunt Maul the rest of his life. Obi-Wan was the apprentice who was never wanted. Maul was wanted too much. Obi-Wan overcame his trauma, but Maul never could. Both rebellious by nature, forced into the mold of the Perfect Example of their respective orders, and yet they have the same failing - Maul, desperate for companionship from ANYBODY, and Obi-Wan who struggles with his attachment to the people he loves. Both forced into exile by the same man who destroyed their lives and orders. They've hurt each other in unimaginable ways and yet understand each other like no one else can.
"The only one allowed to kill you is me" but isnt that just another way of asking live for me? Who is your rival but your purpose? Is there not a tenderness in the eyes of your worst enemy who has seen you at your absolute lowest and still needs you to get back up? Because without you, what are they?
So I was going through a drawer of stuff from when I was little and I found this…
Reverse Star Wars AU writing challenge: every time canon fridges a mother, fridge the father instead. Every time a woman dies for the sake of Manpain™️, kill off the dude instead.
(I know this gets particularly complicated with Obi-Wan, because his woman-who-died-in-my-arms count is in the double digits at this point, but I have faith fandom can find a way.)
The only rule is that the story cannot be about a man. It cannot be about man angst. It has to center the women.
i could add a few more stages to grief if they let me
he consumes my every waking thought and most of the sleeping ones too
