This is the Silver Coin Galaxy! 💫💫💫

This intermediate spiral galaxy was found when famous astronomers Caroline Herschel was searching for comets in the night sky. At the center of the populated Sculptor galaxy group, this galaxy is one of the brightest and most active galaxies in the Milky Way’s vicinity! ✨✨✨

I think it's interesting that - in order to make his "free-thinking Jedi" characters hold any semblance of rationality in their arguments - Dave Filoni needs to resort to artificially dehumanizing the other Jedi and painting them all with the same "we dogmatically worship protocol" brush.

He does this with Huyang in the recent Ahsoka episode.

"Lolz he's so narrow-minded, preachy and by-the-book, unable to think outside the box, just like the Jedi in the Prequels."

My first reaction was being amused at the fact that Filoni had to resort to making the Jedi Order's ideals and rules be embodied by a literal machine for his anti-Jedi headcanon to start making sense.

But then I remembered: Huyang isn't just any droid.

In The Clone Wars, he had a sassy personality, he had a pep in his step, he had a sense of humor...

This character was human in his behavior, he was fun and whimsical.

But now he's been reduced to, I dunno, "Jedi C-3PO"? Basically?

"Ha! He's blunt and unsympathetic because he's a droid, but it's funny because the Jedi were the same, they were training themselves to be tactless, emotionless droids."

And Filoni does this with Mace Windu too, in Tales of the Jedi.

Mace, who brought a lightsaber to the throat of a planetary leader to defend the endangered Zillo Beast...

... and who went waaay past his mandate by mischievously sneaking around Bardottan authorities and breaking into the Queen's quarters because he felt something bad was afoot...

... was reduced to being an almost droid-like, rule-parotting, protocol purist who sticks to his instructions (and is implied to be willing to let a murder go unsolved so he can get a promotion).

I mentioned this at the end of my first post on Luke in The Last Jedi... while changes in personality do happen overtime and can be explained in-universe... if you don't show us that progression and evolution and just leave us without that context, that'll break the suspension of disbelief, for your audience.

Here, we have two characters with a different (almost caricatural) personality than the one they were originally shown to have.

Now... we could resort to headcanons, to make it all fit together.

We could justify Huyang's tone shift 'cause "Order 66 changed him". And we could make explanations about TotJ's Mace:

Being younger and thus more ambitious and a stickler for the rules, and only really becoming more flexible after getting his seat on the Council and gaining more maturity.

Being such a teacher's pet in the episode because we're seeing him through the eyes of a notorious unreliable narrator, Dooku.

There'd be nothing wrong with opting to go with either of those headcanons to cope with this. After all, Star Wars is meant to help you get creative.

But the problem I encounter is that:

Filoni has an anti-Jedi bias, so the above headcanons clearly wouldn't really track with his intended narrative.

We'd be jumping through hoops to extrapolate and fill in what is, essentially, inconsistent characterization, manufactured to make Ahsoka and Dooku shine under a better light.

And that sours whatever headcanon I come up with.

Edit: Also, yeah, as folks have been saying in the tags... wtf is "Jedi protocol"? The term isn't ever mentioned in the movies, I skimmed through dialog transcripts of TCW, never saw it there.

So it's almost as if - if Filoni wasn't draining characters like Mace and Huyang of all humanity and nuance - his point about "the Jedi were too detached and lost their way, but not free-thinkers like Qui-Gon, Dooku and Ahsoka" wouldn't really hold much water.

#I *will* acknowledge that part of this may also be that in a cartoon like TCW - characters with no moving facial features like Huyang... #... had to be more expressive in other ways; hence why he's so active in the cartoon; which may not translate well to live action. #Then again- look at how expressive and emotive that Hondo Ohnaka animatronic is at Galaxy's Edge. #And the fact remains that he went from a whimsical Mr. Ollivander type figure to... a droid with data on the Jedi... #... all so Ahsoka would seem more human and grounded by contrast #ahsoka series #ahsoka spoilers #ahsoka show #star wars ahsoka #huyang #tales of the jedi #totj #dooku #mace windu #ahsoka tano #star wars #dave filoni #disney plus

saw a joke tiktok interview asking someone if the galactic minimum wage should be raised

tiktok interviews from my world just dropped

#my world #actually jk because there is no galactic minimum wage in my world but there ARE policies addressing activity between galaxies

I don’t mind a well executed redemption arc but I am not going love a romance pushed between bo katan & din

#the mandalorian #what does everyone else think #is it just me or does anyone get ace vibes from din #like he is SO content just zipping around the galaxy w his kid #there was the woman from the first season but still #but he never actively pursues or entertains romance #I almost hope he never has one

Reach for the stars... and vote Joe Hills!

Ok look guys Joe's absolutely insanely cool pinball machine just. does things to my brain, ok? I just had to draw him among the galaxies, reaching for the next one to add in

#i'll probably post the version of this without the text and just joe among the galaxies after the vote is over #also guys pls appreciate this it is almost 2am and i spent the past like. two and a half hours on this #and for once i actually don't hate the end result? #joehillssweep #joe hills #joehills #mcyt sexyman #hermitcraft joe #hermitcraft fanart #joe hills sweep #joe hills fanart #my art #also i was listening to the last trial while i was drawing this. and let me tell you the cognitive dissonance was something #like sketching this picture of joe enthusiastically reaching upwards in space. #while in the background characters are singing of doing terrible things in the name of faith. or attempting to redeem someone #who actively refuses to be redeemed. or foolishly time and time again believing that their brother does love them somewhere deep down insid #despite all evidence to the contrary #it's an interesting experience

An article published in the journal "Nature" reports the observation of very strong winds coming from the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Cosmos-11142 which inhibited star formation within it. A team of researchers led by Professor Sirio Belli of the University of Bologna, Italy, used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect the movement of cold neutral gas pushed at such a speed that it swept away the gas in the galaxy and thus prevented the formation of new stars. This is the first evidence of how a supermassive black hole can have that effect on a galaxy.

AAAAA like honestly I really don’t care for tsugemina but I know they have a decent sized jp fanbase so I get the vol 12 sacrifice once again💔 but kurodachi as parents my God naina… I can see it so clearly like in my dream they’d be the sweetest most loving parents ever like in my dream it was weird cause it was little snippets? But I can just see it… adachi falling asleep with their baby girl already far into dreamland on his chest and kurosawa using every molecule of strength in his body not to start crying (53636 burst shots were taken), kurosawa buying matching pyjamas for all three of them (cherry print I’m sorry I’m a weak, weak person…), that classic moment of them laying together in bed ready to sleep, wedding photos framed prettily on the bedside, when all of a sudden the baby starts crying and they both make a move to get up but then one of them stops the other with a gentle hand with the ‘I’ve got it, rest yourself’ line oh I’m insane. Positively INSANE

ANON DO U HAVE ANY IDEA . HOW SEVERELY THIS ASK CHANGED MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY.??? ive been thinking about ur scenarios all Day. i started thinking of whole ideas and hcs and everything head in hands i never knew krdc being parents could be this powerful...... im choosing to believe ur dreams are prophetic bc i need this to happen in canon so badly its not even funny . brb i need to send sensei a very tearful request letter

anyway thank u so much for this ask i drew u some la kurodadchi in return after taking some inspiration pls enjoy .......

#cherry magic #my art #my answer #IM THINKING SO MUCH IM GOING GALAXY BRAIN MODE!!!!!!! #likes theres already potential for a whole chara arc here im seeing it . my vision is Crystal Clear #smth smth adachi being good w kids on account of him being an older brother + just liking kids in general #meanwhile kurosawa doesnt like Hate kids or anything but he has no idea how to deal with them . also hes terrified of being a dad #going into hc territory here but i think a lot of kurosawas issues come from his moms expectations and anxieties abt his life #and he absolute Cannot deal with possibly turning out to be the same exact kind of parent . hence not wanting to be a dad at first #but after talking it through maybe he could see that he can actively work to be a better kind of parent and change his mind ......... Hehe #gonna be thinking abt this for the entire month now pls excuse me
