To think that I admired you, well I don't need your condescension I'm not a child to protect Was talk of virtue just pretension? Was I too naive to expect you To heed the morals you're purveying?

Emily's verse from "You Didn't Know" connects to me as I have parents that to this day treat me like a child.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN (April 19, 1981)

It’s been a remarkable experience. And just a very heartwarming one. The journey that I’ve been on with Star Wars over the last 20 plus years… it’s been a wild ride, and where we’re at now is really meaningful to me. I think that those movies have held up well over time. It feels like vindication for the work that we did. Everyone that worked on those movies thought that we were part of something special. We all wanted to do our very best work, and we cared a lot about it. And so to see the response from the fans now, it’s very cool. [x]

dude's been in the game since 2001. I don't doubt he's got muscle memory

Luke, Mara, Kyle, Han and Leia in The Clone Wars style by reubzdubz

#Heir to the Empire

[darthkieduss]

The lovely chaps behind the FANTASTIC Interregnum fics loved my ✨PRACTICAL SPACE FASHION MARA✨ so much that they asked if we could get a companion piece to celebrate the completion of their latest work.

AND WHO THE F*CK AM I TO SAY NO??!

Rogue Squadron jacket Luke? Non-black wearing Luke? Blaster-wielding, badass Luke? Slightly-older, lines-across-his-forehead Luke? YES.

Oh, also, I updated Mara's face a bit as well, so it would match more with the lighting and shading I did for him.

[darthkieduss]

Word is #Lucasfilm is putting out feelers on recasting Luke, Leia, Han so they can make a proper #HeirToTheEmpire movie trilogy. Bring on #MaraJade! 🔥 #StarWars #Thrawn  #StarWarsEU #LuukeSkywalker #JoruusCbaoth

In Star Wars when a guy gives you his lightsaber it means that he loves you, right? (Asking for a friend.)

Revolution doesn't just happen overnight. It can happen spontaneously, yes, but it builds and builds and builds until it can no longer be contained. The need for freedom, liberty and justice will become a force so massive that the government in Washington DC will not be able to ignore or write off as "tiktok kid activism". It is up to every single one of us to contribute to the revolution.

Oppression is not natural. Freedom is the nature of all life forms, not just us humans. While some animals such as the dog or cat can definitely survive better in a house under control of a human, I've never seen a dog more happy then when you let them outside. To control people, whether it be because of some dumb book written 2,000 years ago (by man not God) or because of some obsession with maintaining "order" is an act of narcissism. To think that one has a right to control what living breathing beings can do with their lives is a blatant act of claiming that they are gods over humanity.

Remember this: It is not natural to be controlled. If you are spiritual or super religious, God (or gods) gave us free will for a reason. If you are an atheist, then free will comes from nature. Governments try to control people because they are afraid. President Thomas Jefferson himself coined the phrase: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The government tries to control people because like most men, they fear losing their power and wealth. They seek to control to preserve their power. That's why the government will commit atrocities like opening fire on striking workers like the Kent State shootings against students protesting the Vietnam War or the 1927 Columbine Mine massacre against coal miners simply striking for better wages and benefits. It is inhumane to control people. Sure, government has to exist. I'm not an anarchist, but the amount of control the US government has exhibited since 1981 is unconstitutional and must be opposed.

Reform is not the answer. Reform is just a bandage on a wound that needs stitches. Change is needed but change through reform is like a drug addict thinking he's kicking drugs by simply only doing drugs once a week. True Revolution happens when the opium is completely thrown out and destroyed. In order for true change to happen, it must come through sudden revolution. We must uphaul the system and like a phoenix, rebirth this country from its ashes.

It does sometime seem like it's impossible. "What can I do? I'm just one person and the US government has the military." Remember this, we outnumber them. The US military has 1,328,000+ active servicemen, with 800,000+ reserve while the US population is 334,914,895 (2023 concenus). Ordinary peasants took down the Czar's Armies and ruled Russia for 74 years. In many revolutions, those were in the military sided with the people, such as the French and Russian Revolutions. Hell, a vast number of those who swore an allegiance to King George III took off their redcoats and pledged their lives to the cause of the American Revolution. When enough soldiers see what is happening, they will dissent and swell our ranks. The British Empire was the most powerful military in the world at that time and we won, though we would've lost without France's assistance so don't get arrogant.

I know revolution seems impossible especially with all the propaganda that Fox News, CNN, MSNBC etc pop out everyday. Remember the Soviets and the Nazis shoved propaganda throughout their empires and both fell, people in both nations rose up against the far-left communism and far-right fascism. The British government often used propaganda, including religious propaganda, to ensure that their American subjects should be loyal to the King and yet we've been an indepenet country since 1783. The Russian government under Putin commands obedience and tells its people tremendous lies about its illegal war in Ukraine and yet millions of Russian people protest him. The Israelis claim that anyone who opposes Israel or its actions (genocide) against Palestinians in Gaza is Anti-Semitic and yet people all around the world, including here in the US, protest Israel.

It's also quite possible that multiple revolutions must happen in order for the big one to come about. The Soviet Union didn't come about because of one revolution in 1917 but of two. The people rose up against the Czar in February of 1917 only for sadly the extremist Bolsheviks to conquer Russia in the October Revolution of 1917. Our own American Revolution took over 10 years to ignite, starting with the British Parliament passing the Stamp Act in 1765 to the firing of shots at Lexington and Concord in 1775. The American Revolution occurred across thirteen colonies. So really, the American Revolution was about multiple revolutions exploding throughout the Colonies that united to form the United States of America.

This is not a shot at conservatism or leftism. Both the Democrat and Republican Parties have taken rights from Americans, from the Republicans passing the Patriot Act (essentially gutting the Bill of Rights) after 9/11 and Democrats not allowing that proto-fascist act to expire (it's set to expire every five years but the government under both parties keep delaying the expiration). This is an outline on how revolution must happen. Both parties have allowed the wealthy elite to plunder this nation and steal from the working class to ensure they have all the money and power (one is definitely more guilty than the other but I digress) .

Remember this: Revolutions happen because the people demand it. When enough people have tried method after method of chaning the system peacefully, what other alternative do they have left other than Revolution? Every protest, whether it's on the left or right, puts out in front of the people the failures of the government. Millions of women are to this day protesting that the supreme court has stripped them of their constitutional right to bodily autonomy. Millions of people around the world are in the streets protesting the genocidal act of Putin's Russia and Netenyahu's Israel.

Maybe it is hopeless. Maybe I'm just wasting time on this post. Most likely no one will see it. But I have to try. I would rather die on my feet then live on my knees. If I could do this fight against tyranny all over again, the only thing I'd change is the year it happened. Never give up. Even if you don't live to see the results. Even if you fail. Even if the government comes to your house to take you away. Your example will inspire others to rise up. We have to try. Change doesn't happen because we bowed our heads and went along to get along. And sometimes you have to out yourself. Sometimes you have to call out your alcoholic racist uncle at Thanksgiving. Even if your family turns against you.

Remember this: revolutions don't happen because of one person. George Washington didn't defeat the British at Yorktown all himself. It took the courage, bravery and sacrifice of thousands of brave American men and women. Even children, as proven by then 13 year old Andrew Jackson. Napoleon didn't start the French revolution. Vladimir Lenin didn't start the Russian Revolution. It's up to all of us. To lead by example.

We will sacrifice, we will struggle but ultimately we will triumph.

Let me end this with the manifesto of Karis Nemik, a character from the Andor series (a really good Star Wars series despite my preference for Star Wars Legends). Consider these words and take them to heart:

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.

Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this: Try.

I love the idea of Jared Padelecki as Jacen Solo.

He's got the hair, the face and the eyes. I STG, if Jared took a break from Supernatural to play Jacen Solo in 2015, women would drop their panties for Jared more than they already do for him as Sam Winchester.

“For now, I’m Jacen Solo. What I will be in the future, however, is anyone’s guess."

Chris Hansen-Andor crossover

So my wife is watching a video by youtuber "Grim" who apparently reviews a lot of Chris Hansen videos. I recently got caught up with Andor. Me and the missus are smoking some dank shit and I got to thinking...

What if Chris Hansen had a special episode where the perp they're busting is trying to both creepily seduce a teen but also trying to recruit them into an insurrection cell. Like every third text from the creep is like "Don't you want to fight these fascist bastards for real? Save your country from tyranny?" with other creepy texts.

And then Chris Hansen's episode goes from "Let's get this creep" to "We gotta stop this guy before he blows up a parade" or some shit. And when Chris Hansen comes out, the creep is planning a bank robbery.

Fuck that would be epic.

One of the funniest things about conservatives is how they think everything is a grand conspiracy. Biden is controlled by Obama. Biden stole the election (while somehow being riddled with dementia and incompetent). Biden is riggin' the Super bowl for Taylor Swift to endorse him (she didn't btw). Like imagine thinking everything you don't like being part of some plot. Oh our candidate lost? The election was stolen! 49ers lost? The Chiefs cheated for Taylor Swift, she's a CIA psy op! Black man becomes president? He's a foreigner sent to destroy America because OBVIOUSLY black people aren't qualified to be president, right Mr. Trump?

Turns out Hayden saw a stunt double twirling a stunt saber like this and Hayden thought "that looks cool". And that's how she wrote it.

Unpopular opinion: Conspiracy theories shouldn't be covered by the First amendment.

Conspiracy theories of the 2020 elections led to january 6th.

Conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook has led to Alex Jones (who should be imprisoned) to sick his followers against the parents of the victims. One committed suicide and one family had to move six times because of these psychopaths.

Conspiracy theories about Coronavirus and the vaccine (which should be mandatory) has lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Bad things happen when paranoid schizophrenics don't take their meds.
