Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 2 thoughts:

They brought in Temuera Morrison as an older clone! Aaaaa!

Heard the spice seller is played by Ewan’s daughter which is so cute

The way they are casually throwing around the fact that there is a Jedi on this new planet is so weird. Like, wouldn’t said Jedi like to keep his cover a little better?

Haja (played by Kumail Nanjiani) is phoning it in a bit. Could be a fake Jedi. Obi-Wan’s disgusted face surely suggests so.

I’ve missed Obi-Wan’s sass lol

Hehe called it, he’s fake.

Is that supposed to be a drug lab?

Hand-to-hand combat yayyy

Okay he got caught super fast, curious to see how he gets out of the situation.

Nicely done with the drugs, dude

Leia hitting Obi-Wan reminded me of Ewan accidentally hitting Hayden between the legs with his lightsaber in the episode 3 BTS while facing off with Count Dooku 😂

WHY IS LEIA’S FACE EXPOSED?! Dude!

Leia’s totally acting like Anakin with Obi-Wan lol

It does make sense that the Third Sister is getting a dressing down for kidnapping a senator’s kid but it’s weird to me that they are not stopping to think if the bait actually worked and Kenobi is really around. Like, if he is, wouldn’t you wanna get him anyway?

I’m starting to suspect Reva is one of the escapee younglings who for some reason blames the Jedi Council folks (of whom Kenobi is probably the last known survivor) for what happened at the temple. It would also explain why the High Inquisitor is saying she’s the least of them, because you know, if she had been Jedi-affiliated in the past they might see her as lesser.

Ah, there is the HI trying to take Kenobi and get the credit. About time.

Obi-Wan’s still roaming around with his face exposed, UGH. Cover up!!! Also, the little Leia is a glowing neon sign. Why does she have zero disguise?

Okay, finally he’s getting her a change of clothes.

The dress Leia first wanted was so Rajasthani in appearance IMO

Leia continuing to age-shame Obi-Wan like her father 😂 She’s also reminding me a great deal of TPM!Padme because of how smart she is.

Obi-Wan was literally there when the kids were born ten years ago and he’s still like, how old are you because Leia is such a chatterbox.

Ngl, I’m enjoying the office politics between the inquisitors.

You can see how Obi-Wan is trying not to get attached to Leia but can’t help it ;-;

The kid is so good at deduction, definitely didn’t get that one from Anakin. It’s all Padmé and Bail 😂

I love how the Star Wars universe is really getting into how bloody difficult it can be to deal with children looool

Reva’s rooftop jumping is cool, I dig it.

How hasn’t Obi-Wan gotten caught yet? He was surrounded on the rooftop! But he’s just using the force to stabilize Leia’s fall and then running along merrily?

Haja is DEFINITELY double-crossing Obi-Wan.

Wait, he’s not? He was genuinely willing to help and act as a decoy? But why?

Leia: Is it that hard to believe you might have friends? Sweet child, Obi-Wan’s bestie aka your real dad fell to the dark side, so yeah 😂

Obi-Wan implying Leia reminds him of Padmé 😭😭😭

What does Reva get out of just taking Obi-Wan to Vader if her grudge is personal? Like okay, Vader’s a killing machine but if you obsessively hate the guy wouldn’t you like to take a crack at eliminating him yourself?

CALLED IT. Obi-Wan didn’t know Vader was still alive! His face 😭

Oh then Reva’s goal is basically to help Vader get Obi-Wan. So she just wants the favour of Vader because that would help her gain more respect and since Vader’s obsessive about this, so is she. Got it.

Lol how is the Grand Inquisitor so bad at his job, like dude, you’re scolding your extremely ambitious subordinate and you’re not even on your guard because she might do something to you? Come on.

Okay, the way Reva just lost Obi-Wan is stupid. Girl, you should have chased after him faster instead of dropping a one-liner on the Grand Inquisitor’s corpse.

Obi-Wan in a cargo ship with Anakin’s daughter after finding out he’s alive I’m gonna cry 😭

“Anakin” and it cuts straight to HAYDEN FREAKING CHRISTENSEN AS AN UNMASKED DARTH VADER IN HIS BACTA TANK AAAAAAAA WELCOME BACK KING

The breathing sound, man, gave me chills

by shrinemaker

After the very recent destruction of Starkiller Base, Kylo Ren and General Hux are summoned before Snoke expecting punishment for their failures. What they get instead is much worse. Being forced into "cohabitation" with only the very vague instructions to "work out some of that rivalry" is a personal hell for both of them, albeit for different reasons, however, neither of them anticipated *feelings* to enter the equation at all. Oh, and the Force Ghost of Anakin Skywalker *really* isn't helping.

Featuring: Everyone's emotional incompetence, Obi-Wan Kenobi cheering in vindication, and a Snoke that is so Southern he says y'all in almost every sentence.

I love we got to enjoy Coric and Leia canon-divergence for a whopping 4 days before Kenobi's ep 3 came out--

Have you seen it? May I ask after your thoughts on it?

Hope you're doing good!

- R2wedoomed's Anna :)

Hi @r2wedoomed !

I choose to believe Coric is still out there causing shenanigans. He helped them get to the ship secretly and then bounced back to his own ship to report into Rex who he saw *nods* Coric will meet back up with them later, with the dejarik table ready to go...he'll show up when they need him most like Batman XD

I have seen ep 3 yessss! Funny thing is I didn't know they had moved it back to Wednesdays so I woke up that morning seeing references to stuff that had happened in the show that didn't happen in the first two eps and was very confused...and then I checked internet and lo-and-behold they went and moved it on me! smh

Spoiler talk under the cut

Anyways, I LOVED IT! I am so so glad we're getting truly genuinely evil Vader, the Vader on which his reputation was built. The bits with him were so nasty (he broke that kids neck, ackkkk) and then burned our man Obi!

The bit when he said Quinlan...oh my god my heart hurt and was also happy for him because someone he knew, someone he grew up with, managed to survive also! Like I imagine his hope meter gained 10+ HP when he saw that!

And then when Reva...oh my...when Reva reached out to touch the Jedi Order symbol? Hello, this fuels my belief that she was one of the younglings and like part of her agenda going after Obi is cuz he symbolizes the Order to her, that he abandoned them when they needed him most (not by choice cuz war, Utapau, etc...but she angry and doesn't care to make distinctions). He symbolizes the loss of her family, everything she knew, her safety because if she was one of the younglings she was then tortured and manipulated into going to the Darkside

I think so far they are doing a great job with showing the transition from the strong confident Jedi that Obi was and his descent into the almost-fearful "I'm going to stay out of this as much as possible" hermit we see in the OT. This is not an original idea, but I am definitely in the camp of "Obi is amazing because he's suffered so much and remains kind and hopeful." And here we see him as losing hope and faith and just trying to survive. He wants to help, but I think he also blames himself so much for what's happened that he also just wants to crawl away and hide and be forgotten.

I think at the end of this all it's only going to strengthen his resolve to help Luke however he can, despite Owen's warnings to stay away (I mean obvies, this isn't a hot take cuz we see/it's implied he does just that in the OT lol)

I'm also enjoying the plot armor of knowing Leia and Obi-wan will get out of this situation, but they're also doing a great job with the suspense of "what will Reva do with Leia??"

I have so much more to say, but this is already way longer than you probably were expecting so I'll just cut it off here

Thanks for asking! Feel free to DM if you wanna chat about it more, would love to hear your though :)

star wars the rise of skywalker — spoilers below!

disclaimer i guess, this might only be semi-coherent cause it usually takes me a few days to fully work through a new movie in my head, but i wanted to share my first impressions and thoughts anyways!

ok so i’m gonna start with the good (the bad below the cut): this movie definitely had things i absolutely loved! it looked amazing! it had great characters! cool planets! aliens! starships! the force! lightsaber fights! you know, all the things that i love about star wars. the colourful, beautiful festival on that desert planet, those thousands of ships coming out of hyperspace to help the rebels in their fight, the voices of familiar jedi speaking to rey, the main trio finally going on their quest together, the ominous ruins of the death star, the return to the abandoned skywalker home where everything began, rey taking the skywalker name to honour luke and leia... those kinds of moments filled my heart with joy!! that’s what i’m here for!!!

sadly... much of the rest of the movie just felt... rushed. it felt incomplete and at the same time as if they tried to cram three stories worth of material into one movie. i don’t mind fast-paced action, but there were so many moments where i would’ve loved for this movie to slow down a bit, to let the viewer take in what’s happening, to let the characters talk with each other! like, i love star wars for this fascinating universe it has created and i want nothing more than to know more about it! i want to see more than short glimpses of the alien worlds and their inhabitants that the good guys are fighting for! i want these characters to bond and interact with each other on-screen instead of so much being implied or happening off-screen!

this sequels trilogy had so much potential for amazing stories and it’s sad that most of them never came to be. force-sensitive finn is made real but beyond a few moments of ‘sensing’ something that’s it. especially after leia’s lightsaber is found why was finn never given the chance to train alongside rey? there’s a whole company of ex-stormtroopers that defected just like finn but beyond one single speaking character and like two conversations it’s never mentioned again. c2po briefly loses his memory which, sure, gave us some funny jokes, but it barely adds anything to the story and when his memories are restored by r2d2 no one even seems to remember the whole thing anymore.

and like, don’t even get me started on the blatant racism, the misogyny, and of course the big pile of garbage that was the whole rey/kylo thing. like. wow. so poe randomly has a background as a drug smuggler now? also there’s a random woman he’s apparently romantically involved with or... something? a woman who very much intends to kill them but then rey beats up her companions and suddenly it’s all fine? who the fuck knows? kylo ren gets his redemption (which, fine, whatever, i wasn’t really invested either way, tho i like redemption through death as a trope) but then there’s a random kiss?? for whatever fucking reason??? like... what was even the point?

also, palpatine? FUCKING HATED THAT. instead of coming up with something new, something interesting, they’re giving us the same villain from like the previous six (or rather, eight) movies and three tv shows? REALLY?! originality is dead, huh? killing palpatine and saving his son was anakin skywalker’s final triumph, his redemption... and we’re just gonna go ‘oh actually he failed at that lol’ like... wow. what rubbish. there’s literally a whole galaxy of material to play with and they really kept giving us the same villain, just with ever bigger and badder weapons. FUCKING YAWN. how easy it would’ve been to come up with a new interesting villain who somehow found out about rey’s relation to palpatine and decided to try and use that for their own gain. (but also rey palpatine is absolute bullshit and i will die on the rey kenobi hill thank you.)

i could keep ranting but honestly i’m just... sad that this grand, fascinating universe of scifi and fantasy gets treated like this. star wars has so much potential! so much that i would love to see and explore! there’s a reason the animated tv shows are some of my favourite star wars material, because they explore a lot of smaller stories and have fun filler episodes that give me a glimpse into this galaxy that goes beyond the grand, over-arching plot. in fact, all those little things give me a reason to CARE about the big plot, the big threat! but instead we get writers and producers who seem to think that all it takes is coming up with an even bigger threat than the previous one, combined with impressive cgi and cinematography, to carry a whole movie. and don’t get me wrong, i absolutely love it when a movie is visually stunning! but there’s just nothing that’s more important than a solid plot and good characters, and the rise of skywalker simply left me... disappointed.

there are so many interesting stories that could’ve been told in the aftermath of the defeat of palpatine’s empire at the end of return of the jedi, but instead we essentially got... palpatine’s empire 2: electric boogaloo. yawn.

in the end it’s just a movie, and i have my imagination to pick out the things i liked and make something different out of them in my head, but these same problems (bad plot, shallow characters, etc) keep showing up in more and more movies and franchises lately, and it’s just really sad that modern entertainment has become just a tool to make more and more money for a few greedy, ignorant people, instead of connecting us all as human beings with exciting and emotionally engaging stories that represent all of us and help us learn and grow as a society.

Star Wars Rare Pair Exchange Letter

Hello and thank you for selecting one of my ships to write for! I am super excited to see what you come up with. Below I have listed my DNW’s and some prompts for each ship I have requested in the exchange. Please heed the DNW’s, there are not many, but the prompts I have written are more a suggestion and jumping off point than an absolute must-do. If you have an idea you would rather pursue for the pair please do so, I am sure it will be fantastic! 

DNW: Underage, incest, a fic focusing on procreation(sex is fine with protection!)/babies/taking care of children, or a fic that could pass as gen. We are here for rare PAIRS! Not rare friends, lol. Angsty themes/set up is also fine but please have a positive ending, and at least 1/2 of the fic as the comfort aspect. 

Write whatever rating you are comfortable with, however T and up is preferred. NSFW and Xenobiology type things are welcome as is just cute date night and other romantic fluff! AUs are totally fine by me, but I’d prefer them to be sort of generic (like a modern/city AU or pirate AU, that sort of thing) rather than franchise specific (such as a Lord of the Rings AU) since I’ve not delved into many fandoms and would like to know what is going on. Also high fantasy and regency type AU is not a preference of mine, so I would also appreciate that whole genre just not be written for my requests. Thanks! 

I’ve separated everything out by the categories in the exchange below. 

Canon Crossovers: 

Armitage Hux/Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo

It’s Thrux! I find the dynamic potential between these two to be fascinating. Feel free to use some Star Wars sillies to bridge the age gap (hyperspace stasis from the end of Rebels to the sequel trilogy, for instance.) The fic does not need to focus on Thrawn sweeping in to ‘save’ the First Order because frankly I think Hux is very competent. Just explore the relationship between Hux and Thrawn however you see fit I suppose is what I mean, be it via their first meeting or 100th night together!

Ezra Bridger/Luke Skywalker

Two beautiful sunbeams! This one can be a bit of a free-for-all, seeing there is so much for them to bond over be it the force/looking at Kanan’s holocron, piloting, or even their status as orphans. To write feels or not to write feels, now that is the question. Some potential prompts can be exploring the force and realizing they can sense the feelings (and crush) that they have on each other, or sitting around after a battle and finding comfort in each other due to the shared experiences they have. Ok perhaps I’m leaning to feels… 

Canon EU

Brierly Ronan/Eli Vanto 

(Treason spoilers ahoy! Skip down to Wyl to not see these…) 

So, these two morons (who we love dearly) got themselves ‘stranded’ in the Chiss Ascendancy. If the Chiss gave Eli a frigid welcome, I can only imagine how they treat Ronan. Not well is my best guess. Eli isn’t exactly Ronan’s best friend at first, but realizes that this transition is difficult and lends a hand when he can and treats him kindly. Things slowly escalate from there… 

Orson Krennic/Brierly Ronan

If you read the book you know exactly what it implies… Orson has Brierly by the heart, and frankly I think that Orson is bound to fall for anyone who praises him as much as Brierly does. This ship can lead to office shenanigans, a night on the town judging architecture, or other simple things made Extra as Heck by this duo. 

Wyl Lark/Nath Tensent

Wyl brings out the best in Nath, and I think the same can be said to be going in reverse. I love the potential in this ship. Just some really great pilot beans. At the end of the novel, at the party, Nath and Wyl wander off and are really enjoying themselves, that could be a good jumping off point. I’m also totally down for plopping these beans in an AU. 

Originals 

Wedge Antilles/Luke Skywalker 

The best pilots in the Rebellion! In love! How can you go wrong with that? Comfort fic has a lot of potential here, but so does just them sharing in something they love, like a hobby or book. AUs welcome if you would like! 

Clone Wars

Obi-Wan Kenobi/Hondo Ohnaka

Or as I like to call it, chaos shipping. I’d greatly appreciate this one tackled in a post-order 66 timeline rather than during the Clone Wars series, or in an AU. I just think it opens up a whole lot of potential seeing there is less guilt in breaking the Jedi Code for our friend Obi-Wan. Plus, I think that's about when he needs the bottle of never ending positivity that is older no-longer-a-pirate-king Hondo. 

Rebels

Alexsandr Kallus/Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo

In a world where Thrawn chose to not break Alexsandr’s leg for the third time in his life… This ship has so many different ways it could go, but I think my favorite is Alexsandr choosing not to defect and becoming Thrawn’s right hand in the ISB. Think of all the problems that could have been avoided! And you can bet these two are up to shenanigans off duty… 

Ezra Bridger/Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Purrgil King 

Its crack and I love it. Purgill King uniting these idiots. Probably playing with them like Barbie dolls! “Now Kiss!” Said the Purrgil King, smooshing faces together until they agreed to stop biting each other… 

Kanan Jarrus/Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo

Kanan goes undercover in the Empire enough that eventually he was bound to be caught. An AU could also be fun here to make them slightly less ‘mortal enemies’. Kanan could also offer ‘goods’ to help free Hera if you catch my drift there wink wink. 

Hera Syndulla/Thrawn | Mitth'raw'nuruodo 

Honestly just replace ‘Kanan’ with ‘Hera’ in the above. It’s an aesthetic ship with lots of ways that it could work. This is another one where an AU could help smooth things down, but it’s also a load of fun in the canon to think how it could work, perhaps Hera as the TIE Pilot at the helm of the Defender program. Something tells me it would go much differently with an expert at the controls. 

Resistance

Neeku Vozo/Kazuda Xiono 

Cute! Boys! Teamwork! Sparkles! Honestly these two are absolute fluff and I am here for it. Kaz and Neeku are also both oblivious as all heck, so maybe it will take someone like Tam pointing out that their emotions are mutual. Either way it's just cute and amazing!

obligatory post viewing the last jedi comment/laterblog/thought dump SPOILERS,

SPOILERS do not read FUCKING MAJOR LAST JEDI SPOILERS look away

honestly it’s a good job billie lourd looks more like debbie reynolds than carrie b/c it’d confuse people otherwise 

also.... why is Hux so funny??? he is such a loser, he’s supposed to be this big scary bad guy but he’s like... the whump bait for the bad guys. I laughed almost every time he was on screen b/c he was so pathetic it reached levels of genuine funny. I don’t often see the comic relief guy be the fuck awful one. 

BUT POE THO WITH THAT I’M HOLDING FOR HUX SASS i love him so much 

and bb8′s methods of fixing shit are worryingly like mine AKA pray for the best, hope it doesn’t catch fire

i love general leia organa 

ALSO CANONICAL MOVIE USAGE OF THE FORCE FUCKBOYS, ON SCREEN DEMONSTRATION OF PHYSICAL FORCE ABILITIES FROM GENERAL LEIA ORGANA, NO MORE DENYING IT B/C HER SENSING LUKE ISN’T ENOUGH FOR YOU

get fucked fuck boys 

laura dern has a really long neck and i never noticed before

finn’s leaking suit was so lol worthy is2g

also highkey poe is super in love with finn still jjust so u know

at the end of the movie poe and rey drink han’s leftover liquor b/c they missed hitting that

R O S E

Rose not hesitating to stun Finn’s ass 

Rose who lost her sister in a run suggested by Poe and didn’t hold it against him

Rose who got to cry and CARE and stand for something, Rose who carried on without stopping because her sister died for this and she will carry on, she /will/.

Rose who wouldn’t let Finn die, because there are unavoidable sacrifices, and he wouldn’t be one of them

i fucking love Rose

LUKE FUCKING SKYWALKER MAKING TUMBLR CRACK POSTS COME TRUE 2017 like seriously HE FUCKING PITCHED THE LIGHSABER OVER HIS SHOULDER LIKE THAT CRACK COMIC

i fucking died

and my lordy the PORGS my sweet penuin like noodles

i love them so much

also luke has clearly inheritied some never before seen Extra(tm) ualities from Anakin b/c /// dude/// u could have done ANYTHING to catch that fish but y’all have to pitch yourself off a fucking cliff on a pointy stick and spear it

dude

not even gonna talk about the milking thing that was just as uncomfortable as they intended it to be

rey mocking his daily routine tho

REACH OUT *raises arm* *eyes roll so hard they fall off the cliff and fall into sea*

luke tickling her hand with the thing i died

Rey accidentally destroying the whole island and being judged by the lizard fish people

rey asking him to put clothes on through unexpected force visions tho highkey me he was more ripped than i’d expected and it was kinda distracting

oh and i forgot kylie being totally unwilling to shoot the bridge out bc he could sense leia. Leia knowing he was there with the finger on the trigger.

oh shit tho

do u think she knew it wasn’t him who fired??? He couldn’t do it, rando soldiers did it, but did Leia know??

I liked the way they did the kylie/rey interactions, like, filming wise?? it was good??? and also they didn’t offend my sensibilities either. I kinda like that she tried to get him to do the right thing but then was like ‘well... oh well imma fight u down instead’. Girl is practical. isn’t gonna give up what’s important for his ass. 

THEY DRAGGED MONACO’S ENTIRE ASS

srsly... it’s entire goddamn ass

and people who make mint off war

tho i greatly appreciate the comment that they sell to the resistance too. It cheapens the depth of it if you imply otherwise. 

‘the most depraved people in the galaxy’ 

*supercut to super rich people casino*

Chewie ate a porg and i cried 

i cried just like the other porgs

the leia holo and the trinket and everything that made me hurt

despite anything else, Rey’s utter confidence that she can and will turn Kylie to the light again warmed me. Like yeah, you go girl, you believe you can do anything. 

ok tho but Poe and purple dern (idr her name oops so purple dern she is) irritated me in a way that the narrative was so obviously framed against her and i’m fed up with stories doing that to women, forcing us to doubt them to only prove ‘look we gotcha!!! why did u think badly of the lady???’, She was never wrong, Poe kinda did do that, but narrative bias and all. But also the mutiny was hilarious b/c they were so bad at it. And leia stunning poe and 3po and Not Leia Jr immediately putting their hands up lol

and star wars is know for loud and obnoxious, and i ADORED that they used this to their advantage and had utter, complete, total silence after purple dern made her move. 

BB8 was stunning the whole movie full stop

snoke was a dick and i’m still laughing that he like, got chopped in 2 and later u see his arm still on the side indicating he ended up more than 2 parts. just subtly in the bg bc this is not a high rated movie

Hux’s reaction to all of this was utterly priceless btw i was in stitches

HIGHKEY tho Finn’s showdown with Phasma. So good. So So good. like, the one blue eye. Quiet, yet ultimately powerful symbolism that didn’t need flash to make it’s point.

i loved that Ren called Rey Nobody. He called her nobody. Like, i know everybody was on team ‘rey should be a solo or skywalker!!’ but this was narratively more significant. Kylo wants to erase everything. He wants freedom from his legacy, from the past. From Snoke an Skywalker alike. He called her nobody as an insult, and to be nobody is all he wants. It’s everything he wants. It was telling. Rey has a freedom he does not and he knows it. 

whoever made the red salt ground decision, like, amazing, the symbolism of the resistance being shot in the heart and the imagary of the red salt spooling out of the opening like they were bleeding out dangerously was a brilliant piece of visual storytelling. 

luke and leia just

it was good enough that i’m not super bitter she didn’t smack him upside the head

in the end though, i think it was a good conclusion of Luke’s arc. It was very Kenobi, and I think Luke would have liked it that way. 

i know people criticise the new ones for using the formula from the original episodes, but like, i think nowadays that has a certain amount of resonance to it itself. 

Rey escaping with everybody on the falcon while the old, scraggly, lived in exile mentor fights off the big bad? it was symmetrical. 

OH and when kyle issues an order, and Hux repeats it with gusto and then ren just fucking LOOKED at hux once going *dude wtf* was top tier humour

i like bad guys who are genuinely fucking terrible but also so easy to mock. 

and hux’s ‘do u think u got him?’ 

i loved rey and Poe’s little meet cute like they’re gon be such cute friends and they’re gonna be finn’s wingmen lbr 

and the movie achieved the modus operandi. A spark can start a flame. Most of them all got slaughtered, and the end of the movie was hopeful??? All that’s left is enough people to pack into the falcon and run with, but it didn’t feel like despair. It felt hopeful. 

and then topping it off with a shot of the little boy looking into the horizon, talking to his friends about Luke Skywalker, and then his broom in the shadow of the sun looking like a lightsaber, resistance ring on his finger. 

i’m emotional. 

and a last thought, when i saw luke’s x-wing in the water, i thought the Moment would be him lifting it from the depths, like it was so long ago, but i was wrong, it will stay there forever now. It seems fitting that his jedi journey started with his ship sinking and it ended sunk for good.
