I’m a Star Wars virgin lol how would u recommend I watch the films? cause omfg that mf anakin is sexy but I don’t know where to start I wanted to watch it a few weeks ago in release date form but idk

Okay if you’re watching strictly movies (called episodes):

4 (a new hope) -> 5 (empire strikes back) -> 6 (return of the Jedi) -> 1 (phantom menace), -> 2 (attack of the clones) -> 3 (revenge of the sith) -> 7 (the force awakens) -> 8 (the last jedi) -> 9 (the rise of skywalker).

Those movies are the trilogies. The original trilogy (episodes 4,5,6), the prequel trilogy (episodes 1,2,3), and the sequel trilogy (episodes 7,8,9). I highly recommend at least the originals and the prequels. The sequel series gets a lot of complaints because of some questionable writing choices, but I still do enjoy them and the actors’ performances. Those trilogies are the core of the Star Wars fandom. They are the must-sees if you want to know what people are talking about.

If you’re focused on anakin specifically, he’s the center of the prequel trilogy and also appears in a show that I’ll talk about later. Do not skip straight to his movies, watch the original trilogy first, but you don’t have too many movies to get through before you meet him.

Other movies:

Solo is a movie about Han Solo’s younger years and it takes place before episode 4, but I recommend you watch it after you watch all three trilogies in that order, as it was released after Han’s main presence in the franchise (episodes 4, 5, and 6).

Rogue one is a move that takes place directly before episode 4, and I also recommend watching that after you finish the trilogies. One of the main characters in rogue one is Cassian Andor, and he has his own spin-off series, Andor (1 season), which takes place before rogue one.

Series:

If you do want to delve into series, there are a lot 😅 I’m only going to go over the ‘main/relevant’ ones (if your favorite isn’t on this list I’m not insulting it. I’m just trying not to overload newcomers with a thousand series that don’t matter to casual fans, and will most likely focus on the newer series. This isn’t meant to start an argument.) but let it be known that I like all of the series, I just think that they aren’t always essential to a basic knowledge of the franchise. This post isn’t written as a Bible, I’m not trying to put down every series or spin-off ever made, it’s a quick and easy guide.

All of these should be watched AFTER completing the trilogies.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a 7-season show that takes place between episodes 2 and 3 (the last 2 of the prequel trilogy). It is consistently regarded as a fan-favorite and it gives fantastic insight into the huge gap between those movies, and helps flesh out a lot of amazing characters (pssst… you like anakin already? he’s an MC ;) ). Seriously the show is like people’s favorite Star Wars Thing ever, so if you do end up moving on from the movies and you want to watch more content, I strongly recommend it.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a one season series centered around Obi-Wan, a character that appears in the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy. Honestly I like the plot but I really fucking love it bc he’s one of my favorite characters and also anakin is in it so if you finish the trilogies and want more of him, I think you’d like Obi-Wan. It takes place between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy, but closer to the end of episode 3.

The Mandalorian is a three season series that takes place after the original trilogy. Din Djarin (the mandalorian himself) appears in a few episodes of The Book of Boba Fett. This show gained enormous popularity because of both Pedro pascal’s role as the MC and how much of a phenomenon ‘baby yoda’ (grogu) became, so i would honestly recommend it so that you know what people are talking about if they mention it.

those are the series I most recommend.

The Book of Boba Fett is a one season series that centers around the bounty hunter Boba Fett, who’s main presence in the franchise is in episodes 5 and 6. However, he also appears in episode 2. A lot of people really like Boba Fett as well as Din’s appearances, so I am including this series on the list. However, I don’t really think you need to watch it unless you really like him or Din lmfao.

Ahsoka is one season, currently being released over a few weeks on Disney+, and centers around Ahsoka (Anakin’s former padawan, developed in the clone wars series I mentioned before, also in the mandalorian for a short time). I am behind and I haven’t watched the two episodes that have come out yet, so I don’t know if they’re good, but that series is what’s currently coming out, so I figured I’d mention it.

Once more if you’re a seasoned fan and I didn’t include your favorite media please don’t come at me, I know I left stuff out. Hardcore Star Wars fans are fucking cutthroat and I’m not citing these as the only series ever or the only series that matter, I’m just trying to help confused people navigate the overwhelming amount of content the franchise has to offer.

I hope this helps, even if you just want to watch the movies. I also hope I didn’t overwhelm you, I really did try to narrow stuff down!

Ahsoka: A Return to Star Wars

Ahsoka Tano is my favorite Star Wars character, she’s Filoni’s best addition to the Star Wars cast, and as she is his baby, she's mine too. I was worried for how the new show would treat her, but having seen The Clone Wars movie, tv show, and Rebels, I trusted Dave Filoni. It was rightly placed trust. Watching this show, for me, felt like watching the prequels again. The lightsaber fights we’re fast paced, the characters held an air of mystery, and Thrawn was perfect.

Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati are the most interesting new characters since Lady Tano herself. Introduced with little dialogue, Baylan makes it clear they are neither Jedi nor Sith. He refers to them as something more when speaking with Shin, saying “You, I trained to be more”. Baylan, once on Peridea, loses interest in the Jedi and thrown, revealing to his apprentice that he searched for something greater than what Thrawn and the Great Mothers could offer.

He gives Shin a choice near the end of the show, to turn Sabine and Ezra over to Thrawn, take her place in the coming war, with a silent offer to stay written between the lines. Shin, of course, less trained and less trusting in the force and her master, chooses to join Thrawn. A fight ensues between her, some night troopers, and our Jedi Padawans.

Which brings me to Sabine and Ezra. Neither had been my favorites in Rebels, I had attached to Ahsoka, Chopper, and Hera. In this new show, I love these characters. Sabine, struggles with trust, the force, her feelings towards Ezra, and finding her footing with Ahsoka. She slowly does and by the end uses the force through trust. Erza, in my opinion, was hard headed, and slightly annoying in Rebels, but in Ahsoka he’s funny, light-hearted, wiser, and much more like Kanan than I was expecting. His interactions with Huyang were wholesome, and the twin emitter to Kanan’s was a good touch.

Hera, Chopper and Jacen. My little Syndulla family hold the number two spot in my heart. Hera was snappy, strong-willed, open, and a great mother. Jacen was Adorable, and alot like his father, I would love to get to know the force sensitive, half twi-lek more. And as always Chopper was the greatest little criminal, snappy, and funny.

Now, moving to the namesake of the show, Ahsoka. When she was introduced, she was an annoying, stuck-up, fourteen year old. She wasn’t liked much by the fandom, but Dave Filoni, as always, had a plan and slowly, with the audience, Ahsoka would mature, she gets two lightsabers, listens to Anakin more, faces hardship, and eventually left the Jedi order. As she grew after Order 66, Ahsoka became clouded and unbalanced. We watch her grow more fearful and secluded as she ages, even as she aids the rebellion, and it all comes to a head in Ahsoka.

Ahsoka fights Baylan and Shin much like Anakin fought Obi-wan, pushing forward attacking, even force-chocking and throwing Shin. Ultimately, as it had been Anakin’s, Ahsoka’s brute force is her downfall (literally). She loses the fight, and is knocked off the cliffside by Skoll, into the water. In the water, Ahsoka is pulled into the World Between Worlds where she finds Anakin, there to teach her one last lesson, live or die. Then, Hayden Christen, Anakin Skywalker himself fights his apprentice for the 3rd time.

This fight was beautifully choreographed, and executed, it was quick, fierce, charged, and all around an amazing duel between master and padawan, as is the Star Wars tradition. Just this was incredible, and I wasn’t ready when we went to the unknown regions for the first time in canon history.

Peridea was the last thing I expected, and even though we’d left our main Star Wars galaxy, everything was still so Star Wars. The Great Mothers, The Chimera, The Night Troopers, Morgan becoming a magical nightsister. I was blown away, yet everything gave me the same feeling as the 1977 classics, and the 2000’s prequels. This is how Star Wars is supposed to feel in my mind, and Ahsoka did it perfectly.

All I can hope for now is two separate stories, Dave Filoni’s, Heir to The Empire movie to be about our regular Galaxy with Hera, Ezra, The Mandalorians, and Luke. Then a different story, on Peridea with Ahsoka, Sabine, Shin, and Baylan, in Ahsoka season 2. That would be the perfect way to continue this amazing love letter to Star Wars and the Star Wars fans.

Okay, @laurelindorenan and @catkin-morgs were interested in my Star Wars thoughts, so here ya go. No particular order, just gonna ramble. Idk what all to discuss exactly, so this will be pretty broad-strokes.

I am an Original Trilogy girl at heart and I do maintain that all three are actual masterpieces. All other Star Wars media, good bad or otherwise, is secondary in my book. Not an unusual opinion or anything, but maybe a little out of step with a lot of folks my age. I didn’t actually even see the prequel trilogy until the runup to The Force Awakens.

And I just. I can’t even articulate the fondness and joy and giddy love that I have for those first three movies. For Luke, Leia, and Han. The whole supporting cast. The sound of Darth Vader’s breathing. Wookiee noises. Lightsabers and blasters and the jump to hyperspace. The sets! Hoth and the Death Star and the Millennium Falcon and Cloud City and -- and-- they’re so immersive and tangible and lived in and it always feel likes I could just step into them. The music!

I adore every single solitary thing about the romance between Leia and Han, which was probably the first love story I ever encountered that fully captivated my heart. It’s not just the bickering, it’s the fact that they change each other! They’re fire and steel together, but also Han learns to stay and to care because he loves Leia and Leia steps away from the rebellion to go after Han. He’s blind and frightened and he asks “who’s there” and she replies, “someone who loves you.”

The themes of family tragedy and legacy and love and REDEMPTION! Han coming back to the Death Star and Lando the rebellion general and “I’ve got to save you!”/”You already have.” Luke, Luke the boy who throws aside his weapon and says “I am a Jedi like my father before me.” Who risks everything on the foolish, stupid hope that his father can be rescued from the Dark and he’s right.

Thanks heavily to the influence of my dad, I’m an old fogey Star Wars fan who vehemently rejects the special editions. I alluded to the fact that I switched over to the despecialized edition to show my roommate the original Han/Greedo scene, subtitles be damned. I plan to do the same with the ending of Return of the Jedi. Idk, maybe that’s a little too rigid of me, but I can’t help it. I’m my father’s daughter.

My personal ranking of the current cannon:

The good stuff, in order of preference: Jedi Empire, ANH (tentatively- my favorite OT movie is the one I've watched most recently), Clone Wars season 7, rest of Clone Wars, The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2.

Revenge of the Sith is compelling in spite of itself, but I can't quite bring myself to call it good. I’m ehhh on Rogue One and Obi-Wan. I have a complicated relationship with The Last Jedi.

I actively dislike Solo, Attack of the Clones, The Force Awakens, Phantom Menace, and The Rise of Skywalker (UGH), in ascending order of badness.

Haven’t seen Andor, Book of Boba Fett, or any of Rebels apart from like, 4 episodes. Waiting to watch Mandalorian s3 with my Dad over Christmas.

I also read a whole bunch of the old EU books as a kid and while the quality is highly variable, I still have very fond memories of quite a lot of it. I fully maintain that the sequel trilogy should have pulled from the New Jedi Order series. I miss Jaina Solo.

The prequels are. Um. They’re less than the sum of their parts. The opening to Revenge of the Sith is straight fire and you know I love me a good doomed romance and I swear I could get high on “This is how liberty dies: with thunderous applause.” But like. Sigh. They’re not good movies, guys. I know a lot of people my age will defend these movies, but I just. No. Y’all are nuts. The older crowd is right, the prequels are, in fact, bad, but hey, at least they gave us Clone Wars.

On the other hand, the sequel trilogy is just a blot on the series. In a vacuum, I do rather like The Last Jedi as a movie, particularly the last hour, but in the context of the original films it's terribly unfair and cruel to Luke. It had some great themes and striking visuals, though. I never much liked The Force Awakens once the initial high wore off because it was super bland and not nearly interesting enough to distract me from the fact that it broke up Han and Leia!! Like what the heck. And of course The Rise of Skywalker is utter garbage.

I wish Disney would stop it with all the new Content(tm), or at least slow down. It's just too much.

idk what else to say. I reblog Star Wars stuff on my other blog sometimes, but ironically (because it’s the biggest franchise in the world basically), Star Wars is really personal to me. I’m always, always, always gonna connect it with my dad.

#when things are really popular and also feel really personal i tend to reflexively kind of pull back with them i think #like it's weirdly hard to talk about Star Wars bc it is just so so big and yet it /feels/ like it belongs to my dad and me #idk #so like i know i haven't said anything extraordinary here but it's what i've got #pontifications and creations #also i do know i'm taking my life in my hands talking about star wars on the internet lol #if you want to disagree with anything here feel free but ya know. be chill #a star wars fan like my father before me

How do you feel about sequels and who’s your favorite character?

I love the sequels, though my heart always belongs to the prequels (they've got it some way or the other).

I honestly feel that there's room for redemption for the sequels. I absolutely love all the characters, Rey is my favourite! Her theme is just so uplifting for me and the second I saw her on the screens, just wearing that helmet and eating food all alone, that hollowed-out warm heart so lonely, I instantly related to her as a person and just wanted to reach out across the screen and give her a warm hug.

I just wish they (the writers) had planned out sticking to the character stories more instead of fan service because the latter is what has always made Star Wars so brilliant. Telling us stories of the characters instead of just fan service has always worked out well (Andor, Rebels, The Clone Wars, so on and so forth).

Regardless, I very much love the sequels. I ship Reylo as friends and FinnPoe is just god 🤌

Thank you for your ask! Have a lovely day/night ahead of you <33

p.s. I know that majority of the sw fandom hates the sequels and the second any of them come across this post, I know they are absolutely going to proceed to attack me and look, pal, I'm just here for a nice, open-minded conversation, okay? You have some hate, why don't you vent to Obi-Wan? Or just meditate on it? You spread hate or any sort of hatred-fueled propaganda here at my home, you're blocked straightaway, no questions asked.

May The Fourth

In this day and age in the Star Wars Fandom, it's hard to remember sometimes why Star Wars means so much to me.

But Star Wars was the first thing my whole family loved and loved together.

We marathoned the original trilogy and the prequels relatively often-- in chronological order after my brother's and mine first watch. I always read off the scrolling text in my best announcer voice. My dad and I would talk about the original series.

My mom and I would watch the prequels separately sometimes-- her favorite is Attack of The Clones. We watched them like romance movies.

For probably three or four years, we skipped Anakin burning on Mustafar, because my brother didn't like to watch it. He pulled away from Star Wars for a few years-- claiming not to like it anymore-- but then watched Clone Wars on his own, and now he's such a nerd. 😄

Star Wars became sort of a tradition in my family. And we don't have many of those.

So no matter what happens, I'm probably always going to love Star Wars. At least for that.

#media consumption #star wars #may the 4th be with you #star wars is essentially part of my heritage 😄#bookworming

for the fic thing, numbers 4, 20, 33

Ah thank you!!

The fic writer questions post

I'm sorry in advance, this got really long, so I had to switch to desktop halfway through to format it so it wasn't just a big block of text 😅 Like... I'm sorry. Genuinely, I am really sorry.

4. What detail in [insert fic] are you really proud of?

I'm going to do Alkali [ffxv H2O AU] because it's the one I'm currently knee-deep in. I hope that's alright! Truth be told I'm proud of a ton of tiny details in that fic, but my favorite is the change in what fire represents as the fic goes on to parallel Ignis's feelings about himself and the others. It's one of my favorite little descriptions to 'hide' throughout while I'm writing because there's just so much you can do with it.

Fire is dangerous, but it can also represent safety and home. Also it looks beautiful and provides comfort, but if you get too close it will burn you. Something something masquerading as light and leaving only blackened ash something something. Lux Et Umbrae or whatever. Generic stuff. You know. It's enrichment for me though, so I have fun with it.

I think the point where his view on it begins to pivot for the better is after the diner scene with the TV when him and Noct have a chat at camp that night, because Noct is the light of my fucking life surprisingly good at saying awkwardly nice things. Like, okay, he's actually awful at it, but the sentiment is there. Also fire is actually really important in the backstory fic [hang on, I'm getting ahead of myself-] and there's a similar evolution in its meaning for Celor [Ignis's uncle] as well, though his development with it is a bit more straightforward and... Obvious? I guess XD

If you want something a bit more silly, I've hidden exactly 7 H2O: Just Add Water and 2 Aquamarine references in the parts I've written out so far. And 3 Ariel references in Ardyn's dialogue. Oh, you poor unfortunate soul...

20. If you wrote a prequel to [insert fic], what would it involve?

CELOR. cough. I technically have one fully planned [chapters and all], the catch is I actually have to finish the current fic first and oh boy. This backstory fic is technically split into 2 parts. Celor B.B [before baby] and Celor A.B [after baby]. <- I wish I were kidding, but that's how it's split in my brain. It's a lot of years!

Before is the whole 'King Regis and his sluts the gang go on that funky little road trip during the war' thing, which basically establishes Celor as a character, the Scientias in relation to the royal family, and his relationships with the other OGs [Old Guys]. Basically, it goes into detail of what happened in Altissia that caused Weskham to get injured and how the other guys found out about Celor.

It also details the events of that one throwaway dlc? Like some dude showed up in Insomnia? Idk, it was so weird. U might not remember it [joking. Episode Ardyn, M.E 734]. Celor wasn't there for the main event, so he doesn't! He was off working with Drautos to evacuate civilians and stuff. Which kinda starts off their whole one-sided rivalry because Drautos sees some stuff and is like '🤔' about it. Celor is... well, to put it nicely, an oblivious idiot and doesn't even realize, so Titus is snooping around and everyone in the Citadel is like 'dude stop' except for the guy he's actually investigating. I also believe that Drautos has pretty much always been working with the empire. It's not specified when, but you don't become high commander of an army overnight [stares down Ravus]... Just kinda weird that he had time to pull that while also captaining the Kingsglaive, so I think he's always been allied with the Imperials. I digress.

After this attack is over the kids are all born (or cloned, lol) [basically... give it like 2 years and everyone exists] and we enter the A.B era where Celor proves just how bad of a parental figure he can be. For the record, I don't normally like killing off parents in fics too often but, well, Ignis doesn't have any mentioned in canon, so it feels weird to just have them suddenly exist in present-day... Celor is already toeing the line of being a full-fledged OC because there are TWO LINES in the audio story Parting Ways where Ignis's uncle speaks and then I did ALL OF THIS with him. 😮‍💨

Anyway, Ignis's parents' names are Julia Scientia and Harry [who married into House Scientia and took the name]. I named Julia for one of the OG mermaids in H2O, who likely had Rikki's power, and Harry for Rita's fiance in Mako Mermaids who ISN'T a total jerkface, thank you, Karl, you fuckboy- his sole existence made me distrust Karl MM so hard my first time through lol. Anyway, given their names you can probably guess their stories, but also they both die at the end. As parents do when you're discussing protagonist backstories [stares in Aulea].

Julia is the identical twin of Celor [yes, I'm implying he's transgender, do you think their parents named her Julia and him CELOR? Hell no, that's a transmasc name if I've ever picked one-] and Ignis takes after her, and therefore looks a lot like Celor (a lot of people confuse him as being Celor's son). That's why, in chapter 1 of Alkali, Ignis is standing there musing if the mermaid-looking daemon Noct killed in the arcade game would've looked like him. It's not explained why he thinks that in the text, but there you go. Reasons! Oh, also, Julia and Harry are killed by a mob for suspicion of housing a daemon after Julia is discovered, leaving their house burning to the ground and Celor returning with a 2 year old to... that... [seriously, the civilians in this universe are kind of hardcore and not in a good way...].

Celor takes Ignis back to the Citadel after a lot of [kinda superficial because pretty much everyone knows what happened] questioning and Regis (who is also actively mourning his fucking wife and raising a newborn) is like "whatcha got there, bud" and Celor's like "trauma" and Regis just nods and lets it happen. Not... not actually, but that's basically how it goes. Dude gets it. By god bahamut does he get it. Clarus is working overtime so hard to help them both learn how to be a dad. Anyway, you can imagine Celor's surprise when Ignis comes into his magic and it turns out to be temperature control. AKA this kid can now light stuff on fire whenever he wants. Even more bad when it's emotionally-tied. Celor and Cor, uh, put a lid on that ticking time bomb real quick. Just, fully shoved it in the shoe box and wrapped it in 7 layers of duct tape and buried it in the woods. It's not still ticking. IT'S NOT. [It is. :(]

To make things... a little more clear, Celor isn't a bad parent, he's doing his best, but also he's absent-minded and kinda paranoid about keeping the secret after what happened to his sister. Which, you know, a very valid reaction, but also causes him and Ignis to argue a lot over it, especially regarding Noct, especially after the whole Marilith thing. Celor actually argued against Ignis becoming Noct's advisor at all, but Clarus eventually pushed him into it because the kid's gotta live his life at some point, you know? [You might notice some parallels between Clarus and Gladio throughout, because they tend to be the voice of reason :V (most of the time lol)]. But yeah, after the whole Marilith thing, while Noct and Regis are in Tenebrae, Ignis and Celor get into a huge fight about who gets to know about the secret, Celor takes Ignis to the Lux Et Umbrae museum exhibit to make things up to his nerd of a nephew, and I get to loredump about Solheim and how merpeople came to be under Leviathan :) Of course the museum is a little... off... on the details given they view merpeople as a legend about variants of darkness daemons, but still. Shapeshifters show up on full moon nights to steal the bodies of your loved ones and make you one of them, blah, blah. Celor explains it better from what he knows, and Ignis learns about their connection to Leviathan.

Which, oops! Because this kid is pretty determined and he near immediately formulates a plan to summon Leviathan and bargain with her to become 'normal'. Hence the necklace. Which, yeah! Iggy's skull necklace is an important part of Alkali. I don't really bring up too often until they reach Altissia. See, the bargain ended up working... for about a month, until Leviathan intentionally meddled with the set rules to get what she wants (as you do when you're a jealous, vengeful god that also wants your other god friend to, you know, NOT nuke the entire planet). Because Ignis even bargained with her in the first place, and due to the rules she set, he basically gives up his half of the bargain to 'save' Noct's life (it was not actually in danger... parallels!) and still has to pay Leviathan back for her half. The necklace is his reminder of that. A literal chain around his neck. Anyway during this whole thing, oops, Drautos sees some stuff and is like '??????' and passes this info on over to Ardyn who is like '👀👀 interesting...' because, you know, he's an immortal bitch with memories from tons of people and also literally Ifrit. Who was there when Leviathan made merpeople because she was jealous. Jealous and vengeful. Not a good combo... But, yeah, Ardyn easily puts two-and-two together. So, when the Titan roadtrip caravan scene happens in Alkali, it should make a bit more sense. It didn't really NEED explaining, because it's Ardyn, but hey. I did. Bite me.

[And, YES, technically Leviathan was sleeping at this time, but it's more of a dream-state of her being summoned than actually her. I... didn't exactly want 7-8 year old Ignis summoning a literal, very miffed god in the middle of Insomnia's bay. If you know the first ever scene of the water dragon appearing in Mako Mermaids, it's something like that. Water and moonlight and rancid vibes. That's actually another plot point in Alkali, because when they're in Altissia Leviathan wants to wake up on her own terms, so she's trying to get Ignis to the Altar of the Tide Mother to wake her up permanently with his blood. Hey... it comes full circle... ... I should write an offshoot of this where it actually works and angst happens. Hmmm...]

Anyway, things happen after that pretty much as written in Alkali already, though this backstory fic would also cover the fall of Insomnia from Celor's perspective and his death :( It's funny because throughout this, Celor goes from loathing fire, seeing it as the brutal destructive force, to seeing it as hope and joy as seen through the eyes of kid Ignis learning his magic [contrast that to how Ignis views his own magic after training lol], and then after Ignis leaves Insomnia, fire goes back to being this awful uncaring force of nature that ends up getting Celor killed. Well, okay, it was mostly Drautos. But fire played a big part in it. And that's Celor's story. Pathetic merman uncle.

33. If you write chaptered fics, what’s your ideal chapter length to write? Is it different from your ideal chapter length to read?

Um, well. If the above showed you anything, I tend to write a lot... Sorry about that. I would say 20ish chapters is normally what I plan, but then everything goes off the rails. I intended for Alkali to be about 15 chapters, then it hit 20, then 30, now we're at 67 in planning and counting. Now if only I could actually write it all XD

And no, I love all kinds of fic!! One-shots, multi-chapters... So long as the premise is good, I'm here for it. I won't guarantee I remember to finish all the fics I start reading, but the chapter length has never held me back on starting them before. I just have a bad memory and never check my bookmarks :( Which I should do more often!!! Maybe I will do so tonight...

Anyway, thank you so much for letting me ramble about this! I really appreciate it, I'm always itching to talk about the stuff that lurks in my brain. 💙💙 I owe you one.

#ask #thank you!!#cruddy rambles #like. I am REALLY sorry this got so long. I got excited #H2O au #the keep reading break moves a paragraph down every time i edit this? huh? what kind of glitch...

Kay's Movie Favs

@writingpotato07, you made my day with this tag! <3

I could go on and on about movies all. damn. day. This was the hardest thing I've had to narrow down in my life, but here we go. In no real order.

When Harry Met Sally (1989) - By far, my favorite take on the rom-com genre. I've watched it too many times.

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) - listen, I know everyone's favorite prequel movie is ROTS, but I will not apologize for my love for this movie despite how cringey it gets at times. 😂

Steel Magnolias (1989) - The cast of this movie is incredible, and I always appreciated the balanced tone between emotional impact and humor.

Just Mercy (2019) - Bryan Stevenson is a fantastic lawyer, and person. His book was so impactful and I thought this adaptation was done really well. (Go read the book! It's so memorable and inspiring, but it will make you mad, and probably sad at times.)

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - I've seen this movie more times than I can count... Thank you, Carrie and Harrison, for that iconic scene.

Closer (2004) - I love the way this movie is told. The exploration of truth, and lies, and insincerity in relationships. They're so toxic, but hey!

Love Jones (1997) - Music, photography, poetry, and romance. There's a literal poetry slam in this movie.

Her (2013) - I have no real explanation for liking this odd movie so much, but I do.

The Lion King (1994) - it was my favorite movie as a child. I've seen it on Broadway, in other theater productions, live-action, rereleased editions, the sequels...

Avenger's Infinity War (2018) - I'm a big fan of subverting expectations in tropey films, and this is no exception. Also a big Wanda x Vision fan, and this movie is part of the reason.

Honorable Mentions????

Star Ware Rebels Bechdel Test Rewatch- 3x12 and 3x13 'Ghosts of Geonosis, Parts 1 and 2'

Plot

After the legendary Saw Gerrera and his rebel squad go missing on Geonosis, the Ghost crew is sent in to investigate

Female Characters: 3

Hera Syndulla Sabine Wren, Captain Brunson

Male Characters: 8

Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Zeb Orrelios, Rex, Saw Gerrera, Jun Sato, Klick-Klack, Bail Organa

Droid Characters: 1

Chopper

Does it pass?

Yes, these two episodes are some of the strongest we've gotten in a while. With Kanan, Ezra, Rex, and Chopper in the Geonosian caves (and out of comms range), Hera and Sabine are left on the Ghost with Zeb. They talk throughout the entire episode. A lot of it is over comms and Sabine and Zeb work on getting the shield generator.

I've always really enjoyed these episodes. I love learning what happened to the Geonosians after the Clone Wars. The planet itself is one of my favorite prequel locations, so I'm never mad to be back there. These are good ensemble episodes as well, as everyone in the crew gets a chance to shine. Sabine's jet pack attack on the troopers is a highlight.

Saw Gerrera is here and as unlikeable as ever. He's honestly cartoonishly unreasonable but hey, this is a cartoon after all. I literally have never liked Saw. I think he is an interesting character that shows a darker side to the Rebellion, but he also sucks so hard. I didn't like him in The Clone Wars, Rogue One and now here. He was most sympathetic in Andor in my opinion. If I had to work with Luthen I'd go a little crazy too. I do enjoy how Rebels handles him though, and this served as a nice connection to Rogue One. But yeah, fuck saw, I was rooting for Klick-Klack the whole time.

Feelings on Star Wars 2023

Hey birbs I know this is coming out a bit late but I am currently prepping for my first Artist Alley as well as prepping the finale of the latest chapter in our DnD campaign. So Star Wars…at its core, they always been popcorn films to me. Something I could kill an hour and a half to watch spaceships and space wizards. But I cannot deny it’s cultural significance and how much they do mean to a lot of people. I could be considered casual normie scum on my stance when it comes to Star Wars. Heck my personal favorite films from each trilogy could be considered bad taste by the majority. I first got introduced to the franchise when my folks purchased the triple VHS set of the remastered editions waaaay back in the 90’s. Even today a lot of it still holds up thanks in part to its simplicity in its complexity as well as being a near perfect balance of creative freedom and creative constraint. With the prequels being too much creative freedom and the sequels under the thumb of too much creative restraint. When it comes to my personal favorites in from the original trilogy I’ve always liked The Return of the Jedi. Sure you could say that Empire Strikes Back had a stronger story and better character writing but Return always felt like everything had finally come together and was a satisfying conclusion to the main trio’s stories. From the prequels there’s something of a charm I’ve always found with Phantom Menace even now although Revenge of the Sith mostly hit it out of the part of the tragic fall of Anakin. Attack of the Clones I feel is the weakest one-I get what they tried to do but it’s pacing felt a bit shuffled and just didn’t really move forward to the ending that we knew was coming. And then there is the sequel trilogy. Force Awakens had a strong start even if there was a bit of stumbling-though I disagree with that it exactly copied New Hope. Sure it borrowed some of the beats with BB8’s purpose and the Starkiller but the arguments calling it one to one I disagree with. The last Jedi I am a bit mixed. A lot of my issues have to do with the pacing and focus of the story. More time should have been given to the tense relationship with Luke, Rey, and Kylo and Finn’s and Poe’s storylines needed refocusing. I got what they were trying to do-but boy did they not handle it well. As for Rise of Skywalker-there is a lot I did like about it but in retrospect it was kinda running on panic mode-not that it really ruined my personal enjoyment. Fun story-so when my family and went to see it in the theatre after the previews…a jungle scene started playing from the other film that was being shown in that duplex and everyone in the theatre started panicking and running to the other showroom before seeing it was the same film and we ran back. I think it was Jumanji. But back to the topic at hand yeah it should have been called Rise of Palpatine so the name could have played a double meaning. Yeah, Rey should have taken the Palpatine name not the Skywalker name.

I won’t deny the they have issues nor that Disney has not handled the PR too well in regards to the criticism of them. While the prequels were able to redeem themselves with the Clone Wars (both of them) and Rebels-the sequels haven’t been given that much of a chance to. Though it is amusing that LEGO of all people seem to understand the material better and have done pretty good with what they had.

When it comes to the sequels the concepts were not bad-it was more the execution that was mishandled. If you’re like me who likes long term videos to play in the background, I highly recommend Channel Awesomes’s Fanscription episode in the rewrite. I don’t agree with all of their ideas but it shows the seriously missed potential that was there. And that’s a real bad shame all things considered and sometimes I feel like these ideas were given another chance to shine-but years down the line when the IP has been allowed to simmer down for a bit. I know that won’t happen in the current state of things, but one can dream huh?

And I do get the fans anger. I really do. If you asked me about the Digimon Adventure saga I could go at lengths how much I dislike Adventure Tri. How it clearly felt like it was done who only had vague ideas of what Adventure was, the pacing was awful, the characters were mishandled, and the new characters they tried to have us like just really did not hit it for me, and the misuse of fanservice… *sigh* Buuuut I also acknowledge that there are people who like Tri and while I disagree with them, I respect their feelings as long as they respect mine. When it comes to fandoms in general, I’ve always followed a general rule: fans should be able to like different aspects of a franchise without being attacked or attacking others-something the other side also has a serious problem with. At the same time, I do feel for people who like Disney Star Wars but can’t express that without backlash even if they are not attacking anyone. Do I agree that Disney has made some pretty dumb decisions with Star Wars? Yes. Do I think they are overusing the IP? Yes! And while we don’t have a lot of information about the three feature films coming out in the next couple years is really not a good idea at this time. Disney, you can’t be this dense. Even while I can empathize on both sides, there is so much gatekeeping negative mentality one can take. And that is because there has been good stuff that has come out even if they are technically under the Disney banner. Freemaker Adventures, Mandalorian, Andor, Legends, Fallen Order, Rise of the Resistance, Close Wars season 7, the new Lego holiday specials, Jedi Survivor…when the right people are given the reigns and let to do their thing there are some really fun and meaningful media that have come from them. Am I bit more cautiously optimistic these days? Sure, but it’s not good for anyone to stew on the bad aspects of a franchise. And the oversaturation does not help things either. There has to be a balance. But I’m also one nobody birb on the internet so I guess I just enjoy the things my way. I promise I’ll be more positive next round. I’m Noctina Noir-and take to the skies.

I new you wrote many of my favorite works but I just had a lock on your profile and almost every single story of yours are on my top list.

How do u come up with your stories?

Ahh that's very kind!! I'm so glad you enjoy them. My stories mostly just come to me as if they were inevitable, but the generating source is love, I think.

I love the galaxy far, far away. Every single day I am reading something, be it novels, comics, reference books, or listening to audiobooks, or watching the shows and movies. I'm deeply interested in the Prequel Era specifically, because there is so much to explore, especially from Attack of the Clones until the Revenge of the Sith—the Clone Wars are massive, and if you include both Legends and Canon material, I am always discovering new parts of the story that I can explore with fanfic.

I love obikin. I love Obi-Wan and Anakin so much. Both of their characters are so complex and layered to me, that it's possible to focus on a different aspect of them every time, always coming up with new combinations of traits to explore and bounce off each other. They are different and complementary in such fascinating ways. I see aspects of myself in both of them, and can explore various parts of myself by vesting them in a character. I think their sexual tension is out of this world and enjoy breaking that tension pretty much more than anything.

I love fanfiction. I've read millions and millions and millions of words of fanfic since 2007. I adore tropes and smut, and I am continually inspired by my deep internal library of memories of the stories that I've read and enjoyed. I love to bring the tropes to obikin and see how they fit. If I see something like thought-reading or gender-bending in another fandom, I'll be like, well obikin doesn't really have enough of that, I guess it's up to me to write it. I have an internal checklist of things that I like, and I'm continually chipping away at it.

So every story comes out of a combination of those three things, I think. I love the world, love the characters, love the medium. Inspiration and motivation come from that love mixed with a sense of play. I don't know if I'll ever run out of things to say for obikin hahah it’s just too much fun and too satisfying.

#you are very kind anon #thank you #fanfic stuff #obikin

Aayla Secura from Star Wars : Attack of the Clones / Revenge of the Sith // Cosplayer: grumpy_dragon_cosplay // photo: jackshotpixels

So the prequel movies came out when I was in elementary/middle school and while I loved Padmé, I always wanted to see a female Jedi. As a kid I dressed up as Leia for Halloween but instead of a toy blaster I had a light saber for trick or treating. So that two second glimpse of Aayla in Attack of the Clones just made me want to be her so bad. I was heartbroken when ROTS came out and they killed her. When I got into cosplay, Aayla was always a “dream cosplay”. Something to look forward to in the future. 2019 was a rough year for me personally, so i decided that I’d deserved to make my dream cosplay. No more putting it off for the future.

Making Aayla was a lot. Mainly because it took forever to find the right kind of fabric, not many people carry brown fabrics. I don’t like to order fabric online so I had to find it. I’m lucky enough to live close enough to LA that I could search the fashion district.

Once I found that, I was able to paint the undershirt and sew the two top pieces how I wanted. I also made the head covering that goes over the lekku. I already had the pants and boots from other outfits. I ordered the twi’lek head piece from the wonderful @twi’lek_pam who was just so helpful and gave so much good advice on cosplaying a twi’lek.

Finally, came the body paint. I’ve never body painted before and that was a whole new experience. So many mistakes 😂. I ended up remaking the first under top since the body paint from wearing it at Los Angeles Comic Con kinda messed it up. But you live and learn.

I’m much more confident in myself now, both in my body and my personality. When I first started cosplaying, I felt embarrassed walking to a con in a cosplay. I felt silly and a bit out of place among all those gorgeous cosplayers. Now, I know that everyone’s just out to have a good time.

One of my favorite things to do at a con is just give compliments to cosplayers as I walk by. It made me so happy when people said nice things to me about my cosplays that I just want to spread that joy. Cosplay has had a lot of ups and downs for me. I’ve gotten friends from it and lost friends from it, but as long as I can still get that spark of happiness and share it with other people then I’ll keep cosplaying.

YOU DON’T REALIZE HOW GOOD THIS EPISODE IS UNTIL LIKE YOUR THIRD FULL REWATCH OF THIS SHOW AND TWO STRAIGHT YEARS OF ARGUING ABOUT STAR WARS POLITICS AND ALSO FANDOM POINTING OUT EVERY SINGLE “ECHO AND RHYME” WE CAN POSSIBLY FIND. The first time I saw this episode, when I was tearing through TCW at speed because it was new and I was hooked and it was so good, this one didn’t really have much of an impact on me. Not my favorite characters, I appreciate that Toydarians got some better portrayals other than Watto, but man the middle of it definitely dragged for me. Then I rewatched it, after two years of examining politics in Star Wars and having fun with all those parallels and echoes of stories. And this time the episode hit me like a goddamned brick. It’s an episode about whether or not Toydaria should remain utterly neutral in the war or let themselves become a staging area for humanitarian aid to Ryloth, which has been under siege by the Separatists. Lott Dod of the Trade Federation pops up and is like, yes, but it’s under a Separatist Blockade and, if you help, the Separatists will see it as breaking your neutrality. Which means your entire planet will be at risk, your own economy could tank because you have vital contracts with us and it’ll force us to cease trade with Toydaria. You can’t just have a humanitarian base, you’ll get drawn into the war, you’ll be a military base, that’s how war goes. Bail Organa counters with that the Twi’leks didn’t ask to be invaded by the Separatists, they didn’t ask to be taken hostage and dying in a war they didn’t ask to join, either. Don’t let them suffer just for the sake of your neutrality! King Katuunko and his advisers debate for a brief while--all while clones and Jedi and Twi’leks are dying on Ryloth--and eventually says that we cannot get involved in this war. No matter that compassion is one of the most important tenets of our society, for the sake of my people, we must remain neutral. Stuff happens, King Katuunko eventually realizes that neutrality is maybe not actually a great thing when people are out there dying and you’re not doing anything to help--yes, even if that means you get drawn into the war. That’s it, that’s the message: When innocents are dying at the hands of invaders, neutrality is not a compassionate, caring choice. What of course made me sit up and take notice was the deliberate use of the word “compassion” being used as one of their tenets and we all know who that reminds us of: The Jedi have compassion as one of their central tenets as well. The Jedi, who have already been drawn into this war. And this is exactly why I don’t think the Jedi could have made any other choice, shouldn’t have made any other choice, about joining the war. Billions of lives are at stake--even Hera Syndulla says in Rebels, how she remembers that clones and Jedi working together saved billions of people, including herself. We literally see the innocent people of Ryloth suffering because the Separatists attacked them. It doesn’t matter that many of the people in the Separatist Senate and worlds who joined did so because they were sick of the Republic ignoring them and their valid concerns. (Doesn’t matter in the sense of whether or not it affects trying to remain neutral in the war, not doesn’t matter in the sense of trying to find peaceful solutions, that’s an important difference.) Because this was always going to happen. Innocent worlds were always going to be invaded and held hostage and murdered and stripped for resources because of who was running the show over there. Being neutral in such a conflict was narratively shown as the wrong choice, that’s why Katuunko realizes his error. That’s why Bail Organa (a character we know is caring and compassionate) argues in favor of the Republic, why Alderaan joined the war. That’s why Padme, even when she wishes she could remain neutral, argues her way back to saying she must try to change things from within.

This is a sentiment that’s at the heart of the theme of the episode, that Ahsoka echoes it in the classes she teaches to the Mandalorian cadets. And it’s one that’s important to the themes of Star Wars characters’ actions, especially in the prequels--that it’s the very heart of the Republic vs the Separatist war. Do you remain with the system and try to improve it from within? Or do you leave it and bombard it from the outside in hopes of burning it down to create something better? The answer depends on context and the situation and whether or not there’s hope for rooting out the corruption. For example, Padme believes that they’re at that point with the Republic. Bail believes they’re at that point with the Republic. That they still have the belief they can make it better. They still have hope. This is why Bail joins the Rebellion under the Empire, though. Because the Empire being worse isn’t just a matter of contrast, but it illustrates having passed a moral event horizon, where it’s not possible to salvage it anymore. The issue of the above and the issue of neutrality overlap a lot in this episode (”Corruption”), but the point of many in the Republic is that neutrality was not an option because it ignored that they could be doing something. And that’s why I cannot possibly imagine the Jedi not trying to help. I cannot possibly imagine them saying, no, we will abstain from this war, when people were going to suffer and die if they didn’t. That’s even setting aside that George Lucas describes them as literally being drafted into the war, that that was the narrative take-away, how could they possibly have refused? Even in Kanan: The Last Padawan, Depa says she thinks they made a critical error in accepting titles in the war, but the clones vehemently disagree, because she’s underestimating the importance of clarity of chain of command, so that people know what they’re doing and where they’re going and how to get organized, so they’re not half-fighting each other and half-fighting the Separatists, which would have gotten even more people killed. There’s no clean answer to that problem, because they can both be right--the Jedi accepting titles in the war led them into being seen as the villains of the conflict by those who were tired of the war (Star Wars Propaganda makes the very clear point of how this narrative was painted onto them, rather than what they created for themselves), but the clones are also right that unclear lack of chain of command would have made everything an absolute hot mess. So, neutrality was a really shitty option and, further, what does it even gain anyone? Satine Kryze fought so incredibly hard to keep Mandalore and the other worlds neutral, because she didn’t want to drag her people into war, and how did that end up for Mandalore? Even setting aside that they were refusing to help fight against the evils being inflicted in the galaxy, even setting aside that whatever points they made, they ignored worlds like Ryloth? It got them nowhere good:

Their neutrality still didn’t protect them from trade routes being closed to them and their world suffering through a supply crisis. This is what politics in the GFFA does. You cannot just ignore it and say, “Fuck politics! We’re not going to play that game!” because then you end up like Mandalore--starving and cut off from the connections you need to survive. That would have happened to the Jedi in a heartbeat. Their granted legal authority to help anyone? Cut off. Their Republic funds for their Temple, their home, their food, their clothing, their ships? Cut off. Add in scary mind powers and people would turn on them incredibly quickly, as well as they have the hauntingly clear illustration of what happens to neutral worlds when people are in a war and scared and not thinking clearly--they lash out, they react, they turn their backs. Mandalore managed to scrape by for awhile, but it was unstable and chaotic and we can see how that unfolded. It doesn’t make the situation right, not even close. But it’s the situation that you deal with, you work within the system of government you have, you do what you can to try to make it better, you try to help as many people as you can. And neutrality doesn’t help anyone but yourself--and, even then, ultimately that’s not true, either. We see that illustrated very clearly.

Polis Massa and Utapau! :3

HI! ☺️ Thank you so much for two more questions I was hoping to get asked!

List of original ask game questions linked down below!

Polis Massa: Favorite OTP’s

Romance wise, I only have three!

1.) Barrissoka (Ahsoka Tano x Barriss Offee): This is the BOAT for me! I could very much write a whole thesis on why I love these two together so much but I’ll keep it short. I’veshipped these two since I first saw them together in the Clone Wars years ago (well before I knew I myself was gay and could truly appreciate wlw romance) and despite all the horror Feloni put them through, I’d still die for them. These girls deserve happiness 🧡💙🤍💚

2.) Kenduli/Obinara (Luminara Unduli x Obi-wan Kenobi): Just like the above ship, I could write pages on why I also love these two together but I’ll abbriaviate. I fell in love with their dynamic in the Legends novel “The Approaching Storm” (highly recommend) and that love grew even more when I saw their dynamic in the Clone Wars. Like the way Luminara relaxes around Obi-wan and the way Obi-wan worries for her on Geonosis is just so damn cute okay? They’re two of my all time favorite characters and I think they go nicely together shoot me 😄

3.) Hanleia (Han Solo x Leia Organa): Need I say more? How can you not love the OG ship? They are just too damn cute and lovey dovey with each other and the sequels did them real dirty…totally not bitter about it one bit.

As for platonic OTP’s, I am a huge sucker for the wholesome Jedi Master/Padawan relationships. The Jedi are just so damn good and loving 💙💚💜

Utapau: Personal Ranking of Episodes

This one is a difficult one since I love all the first 6 episodes so much (sorry sequel fans, I won’t be including those here, just not my cup of tea).

1.) Revenge of the Sith/Return of the Jedi: These two are tied as my favorite because I literally cannot choose.

Return of the Jedi has always been my favorite of the OG trilogy (I abused the hell out of that VHS tape and DVD). I just love a good satisfying ending and that’s what Episode 6 is, a good ending. All the characters have grown immensely. Han is no longer a relunctant hero, Leia is still a badass but she’s now a badass motherfucking Hutt slayer and a friend to the Ewoks, and Luke is a Jedi Knight with a new green saber. The reveal about the twins is finally made and we finally get to see that climatic showdown between Luke and the Emperor with Vader finally returning as Anakin and sacrificing himself for his Son. The Empire is then finally gone and the Jedi and the Republic can start to rebuild. That ending scene with Luke looking at the Force ghosts with Anakin joining in light colored robes never fails to get me misty eyed 🥲

Revenge of the Sith is the prequel movie I’ve watched the most and to me it’s a direct parallel to Episode 6. It’s tragic as fuck and the Order 66 scene will never fail to break my heart as well as the Mustafar battle, but it’s still a hauntingly beautiful film. Anakin essentially is the reverse of Luke in that he made all the wrong choices and I find it poetic knowing what would happen in the future. The soundtrack to this film is also probably my favorite 👌🏻

2.) Attack of the Clones: This movie is so entertaining to watch. Okay, so as much as I love the originals, the prequels and the Clone Wars are my jam in that all my favorite characters are alive and well and we get to see so much Jedi badassery. That scene where all the Jedi arrive on Geonosis is 👏🏻💙💚💜🤌🏻 perfection ☺️ I also really like the different journeys Anakin and Obi-wan go on and their banter in this film never fails to make me laugh. It’s essentially the final stop before all the tragedy happens and I’m here for it.

3.) A New Hope: Like many, this is the first Star Wars movie I ever watched and it’s the reason why I’m so deep into this universe. The story and pacing of this movie is top notch. This movie is just full of so many surprises and touching moments (like Luke looking off into the binary sunset, Obi-wan telling Luke about his father, the final duel between Obi-wan and Vader, and the final Death Star battle sequence where the golden trio work together to defeat the Empire). This episode is 100% a comfort episode for me and I’ll never stop loving it.

4.) The Empire Strikes Back: Most people have this one ranked higher than New Hope or Return of the Jedi but for me personally, that was never the case. Don’t get me wrong, I love this movie. It’s a great sequel to episode 4 in that it continues to build on all the elements we fell in love with in ANH (I.e The Force, Han/Leia’s romance, Vader’s connection to Luke, etc.) while adding new elements such as Vader’s inner turmoil and new characters like Lando. Luke’s Jedi training with Yoda on Dagobah with Yoda will always be my favorite sequence in that film because it delves into what it means to be a Jedi and what the Force is. I think for me it just boils down to the fact that the Empire/Sith get the upper hand on this one and I’m all for the good guys.

5.) The Phantom Menace: Now just because it’s last on my list doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it. Unlike what most would say, the story is a solid one. I liked seeing all the political strings Palpatine had to pull to get where he needed to be and I liked seeing who Anakin was before his Jedi training. I think it was important for the audience to see where Vader came from and how he ended up at Obi-wan’s side. The Duel of the Fates sequence will never not be cool; it’s one of my all time favorite Obi-wan moments. This is just the episode I’ve probably seen the least.

Phew, I’ve ranted quite a bit but I still had fun 😄😊
