If we're giving romantic hype to Din Djarin's speeches, then this:
I gave you my word. I'm with you until we both fall. [...] Okay, then. We'll both die in the name of honor.
Deserves at least the same amount of hype as this:
These are the reasons why I serve you, Lady Kryze. Your song is not yet written. I will serve you until it is.

There are so many reasons that I love Star Wars, but I think that the biggest one is the centrality of hope in the story. Obviously, you have that at center stage in A New Hope, as the rebellion is having a breakthrough, and I think it’s a pretty clear thread through the original trilogy as a whole: Luke and Leia and Han enter the rebellion and all of them bring a determination to cause change which is, ultimately, as much a cause of hope as the information about a weak point in the Death Star was.
And the prequel materials are, to me, a beautifully tragic picture of how the galaxy got to a point of such desperation for hope. Throughout the prequel trilogy, as well as in Clone Wars, you see the decline of hope in the galaxy as they get sucked into a war, and we, the audience, get the extra kick of the dramatic irony: that Palpatine is playing both sides, that all the violence and death and loss are pointless, totally avoidable. And yet, especially in Clone Wars, everyone is working SO hard to not only hold onto hope, but also to provide it—the jedi, the clones, and even the handful of upright politicians.
And, of course, RotS ends on the lowest of points, a place without hope: the jedi order is destroyed, the clones lose their sense of identity, and the senate falls. The horror of this moment is not subtle: it is brutal and repeatedly shown, because it MATTERS. It is not just an event, it is something personal—we have Ahsoka and Rex burying brothers we know the names of, Bly shooting Aayla, the wolfpack firing on Plo, Jaro Tapal and Depa Billaba giving their lives to get their padawans—who are children— to safety. And at the heart of it all is the very person who was proclaimed the chosen one, cutting down children and playing a role in his wife’s death and giving into his darkest side. For me, Obi-wan’s confrontation of Anakin embodies this more than anything else: he cannot fathom how things have come to this point. And so RotS ends with a lack of hope that is nearly all-encompassing, though we can hold onto Luke and Leia, who we KNOW will grow up to save the galaxy.
Which brings us to the time in between—and, in particular, to Obi-wan Kenobi, Rebels, Andor, and Rogue One. For me, the whole Obi-wan show was about Obi-wan being reminded that hope existed in the galaxy, not just through Leia, but through all the ordinary people who stepped up and were working to make things better. And that is EXACTLY what Rebels and Andor and Rogue One are about, on an even grander scale. They show that, even in a galaxy in which hope seemed so impossible, there are people willing to fight for it. The prequels era has such a focus on the people who are fighting and doing the protecting of the galaxy, and the rebellion era shows the people who had been under their protection stepping into their shoes, refusing to give up as lost the goal they fought for just because they are now gone.
The message of Star Wars is HOPE, enduring even in the face of nearly incomprehensible and utterly senseless tragedy, and that’s such an enormously beautiful message.

not to be parasocial on main but ever since Ahsoka came out and i learned that ewan mcgregor is on his second wife some 15 years younger i have been consumed by a mighty need for a fic where obi wan divorces satine for cody and which is not about any of these people but a reflection on the nature of love and marriage

grand inquisitor saying “there are some things far more frightening than death” in reference to vader, and then in season 2 ahsoka choosing to stay behind with vader in the finale even if it means dying because she’s no longer scared of death since her greatest fear is already standing right in front of her

I know some people think that fnaf should have ended at pizza sim, but tbh I dont think so. i understand not liking the new era. you literally dont have to. it's just personal preference. but also if your problem is with the continuation of the old story, ruin confirmed that anything that could have affected the old story didn't (example: pizza sim existing. burntrap existing. the blob existing, all implying that the fnaf 6 characters never died and are still here)
but in ruin, burntrap was disproved (idk if it's a retcon or not lmao), glitchtrap was just the mimic mimicking Afton, all that the fnaf 6 location does is just be there, and the blob isnt implied to be any souls or anything. in fact its implied to just be on the mimics side as an evil robot.
but my point is that the SW era doesnt affect the old story. in a good or bad way. and if it doenst affect the story that you think should have been where it ended, then it really is over. that story is over, but this one has just begun
all it does is take place in the Fazbear universe. it's a brand new story with new characters with just the brand and animatronics being brought over.
once again u dont have to like it, but it's great for people like me who do love it, and you can still believe that the first fnaf storyline ended at pizza sim because it did :) doesn't mean the entire franchise had to! its just personal preference all the way through

casually downloading star wars and just thinking about luke saying "i'm a jedi, like my father before me," and how really that is the moment that anakin is redeemed. it's luke's complete faith in the fact that there is still good in anakin that makes it possible for him to break the brainwashing he has gone through to become darth vader. everyone else, except padme, gave up on anakin. to obi wan anakin died, partly because in a sense it was true but also because he felt such shame that he let anakin down as a mentor that he couldn't face the fact that anakin was still alive and he couldn't get through to him. but someone like anakin, who was raised a slave, who was manipulated his entire life, NEEDED the faith luke had in him and it's why when ahsoka says she won't fight him and anakin sort of smiles and says, "i've heard that before." because even though visually anakin looks the same as he did in rots, this is anakin AFTER return of the jedi. after he died saving luke, after luke saved him in return. oh god, the love between luke and anakin just makes me wanna swan dive into the charles river.
