Just Discussed Star Wars With A Friend Who Has Never Watched The German Dub, But Since We Were Speaking

I 100% thought vernestra was supposed to be an entirely different alien species bc she does NOT look Mirialan 😮‍💨

I still can’t believe they went from this in Attack of the Clones (2002) to this in The Acolyte (2024) even though they’re both portraying Mirialan Jedi Masters.

Vernestra looks like they just slapped some green make-up and some eyeliner dots on the actress and called it a day. It’s awful, especially since she has so many close-ups. Twenty-two years ago they made Luminara look like an actual humanoid alien, with beautiful details in both costume and make-up. Even though she's basically a background character, she looks so much more natural as a Jedi.

cunt dooku

Hozier wrote Abstract (Psychopomp) about them actually

i don’t know how some of you can go “well naboo ALWAYS elected teen girls to rule them, it’s tradition!” then just leave it at that. like i think there’s a lot to interrogate here lmao

Idk I'm stuck on "sithballs"

fanfiction and wishful thinking aside- is Maul canonically asexual? Post chop? my limited research told me that libido greatly diminishes once the sithballs are gone

if anyone has any headcanons feel free to chime in

When I show up to the life-altering lesbian situation ship contest but my opponent is sabedala

*gently hands this to the five other Sabedala shippers on here*

i had a 4 hour drive today so i put on the revenge of the sith audiobook and the part where palpatine tells anakin to kill dooku came on right around the time that i saw a cybertruck and for a brief and beautiful moment when he said "do it" i had the urge to ram my honda full on into that shitty ass car

Reading a fic where Waxer's facial hair is called a "soul patch" and then wondering at the history of the word

In English, the name comes from jazz/soul musicians. Supposedly, they often wore it because it was more comfortable to play instruments like the trumpet when the skin there wasn't irritated by shaving or covering in stubble

Which implies that in the gffa this type of facial hair would be called

(Sorry-not-sorry for saying this)

A "jizz patch"

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.
