Once again, I am crying about Luke Skywalker specifically through the lens of how he is the child of a genocided people and he can study all the books and Temples he finds, but he will have so few of his people to actually talk to, to listen to their stories face to face, to hear their living history from their own mouths with their own words, his history.
There's a unique trauma of realizing that everyone who was supposed to have been there for you has been murdered because of how they were born, that you were meant to be part of a community and those people were murdered for the same thing that lives on in you, that the people who were meant to be there for you as aunts and uncles and cousins were murdered for everything that you're now living for.
They're all just gone and you're alone when you were meant to have a thousand people ready to teach you and watch you grow and learn.
That's what Luke Skywalker lives through--the child of an entire people gone because they were genocided nearly out of existence entirely.

She will found out soon, she is a smart woman, and Anakin isn't the most subtle person.

lately i have been a bit miffed by the lack of awareness when it comes to queer characters, and more specifically sapphic characters, in the Star Wars canon. so, in my capacity as the patron saint of lesbian visibility, i've decided to quit whining about it and be the one to spread some knowledge
without further ado.....a very long and obnoxious lesson
now let me tell you about them. in detail. through very specific categories
you don't have anything else to do, right?
CATEGORY ONE: GAY. ON. SCREEN.
they're gay. on screen.
CATEGORY TWO: THE A WORD
Doctor Aphra and her web of lesbianity
CATEGORY THREE: HANDGAYDENS
Padme Amidala and her gay handmaidens
CATEGORY FOUR: THE HIGHLY GAY REPUBLIC
all the many, many queers of the golden age of the jedi
CATEGORY FIVE: VIDEO GAYMES
queers from the Jedi games and related media
CATEGORY SIX: GAY FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW
characters created for or made queer in the From a Certain Point of View books
CATEGORY SEVEN: COMICALLY QUEER
wlws from comics not involved with Aphra
CATEGORY EIGHT: BOOKED AND GAY
characters who are gay in books, even if nowhere else
whew. still here?
thank you for scrolling all the way through this. if you are interested in talking about any of these people or want to know how to learn more about them on your own, my inbox is always open!!
and seriously folks, if you’re interested in any of them i implore you: read their stories, write fic, make art!!! the more we show that these characters are appreciated and talked about, the more likely we are to get more like them, and hopefully more that are even better and more visible rep
that’s all from me. have a gay day

I... am not... immune to... Aayla Secura and Shaak Ti... gently reaching out... holding hands... like no reason they had to do that... they just casually touch each other.... ok, someone put 50k of this on my desk by Monday morning, because I ship it now..........
