#star wars: lost stars

[bluntblade]

I'd thought before about how brutal the events of TFA and TLJ must've been to watch for the likes of Leia, Hera Syndulla and Wedge Antilles, but writing Stars' Flight and really sitting in Thane and Ciena's perspective for it made me feel it in a much more visceral way.

Like, all these characters, they've had "their war". The Clone Wars had raged when they were kids or a little before that, and left their own scars, and the Empire's abuses necessitated a new one. Horrific damage was done, overwhelmingly by the Empire, and it took huge sacrifices to win, but they prevailed. And yes, the New Republic turned complacent, but for the most part things must've felt a hell of a lot better. At the very least, whole worlds weren't being gouged and disfigured by the insane demands of the Imperial war machine (and in contrast, you've got to wonder what the First Order did to its corner of the Unknown Regions).

And then, thirty years after Jakku, the Galaxy suddenly gets flipped upside down. The Hosnian system is gone. No warning except maybe the First Order-sympathising senators upping sticks in the hours before the attack. Next thing anyone knows, there are invasion fleets deploying, and the other side says that what they'd thought was enduring peace was just them rearming.

So now these people are headed back into the fire, along with the children and the pupils/cadets they'd hoped would never have to see another conflict like it.

It’s only a little strange to see Han drawn like a youthful anime character 😂

Book 32 of the 50 book challenge. Star Wars: Lost Stars by Claudia Gray. Lost Stars is from the perspectives of two friends from the same planet who were in the imperial fleet. One stayed in the fleet and the other faked his death and joined the rebellion after the first Death Star battle. Thane fought with the rebels through the end of the war. Ciena stayed with the fleet and was captured after the battle of Jakku. It’s a really good book, seeing the events of the movies from a new perspective where people don’t interact with Luke, Han or Leia. I enjoyed it.

Every remake of a game should come with a copy of the game it is remaking that is compatible with modern hardware but otherwise untouched and I'm not even exaggerating this should be mandated by law. If you're going to attempt to recreate a piece of art you have to give people access to its original context otherwise it becomes the only context and makes the previous version simply a superceded product

#eldritch chatter #getting unreasonably upset thinking about the sh2 remake becoming peoples only touchstone for the series #and then having everything the original did and and all its jank (intentional and not) get lost #its the same as losing the original versions of star wars with the practical effects #it keeps people from actually engaging with the culture that the remake came from and understanding it and that makes me want to chew glass

APLAP (Assigned Pathetic Lifeform at Padawanship)

New padawan Obi-Wan trying to figure out how the FUCK to make his master listen and not abandon him to go running off following "the will of the force" when it hits him. Qui-Gon is perfectly happy stopping and taking care of pathetic life forms, but not Obi-Wan. That's it. He's always been prepared, always been dutiful, strong, self-sufficient.

He's cracked the code. He needs to be more pathetic.

The next time he senses Qui-Gon's about to run off he coordinates a scene of utmost pathetic-ness, that is, he throws himself into the nearest fountain. He trudges up to his master sopping wet, water-logged robes swallowing him, with hair sticking to his face and containing bits of algae from the fountain. He mumbles out an apology for being clumsy before looking up at Qui-Gon with the biggest, most woeful eyes possible to ask if he happened to bring any spare robes (he didn't, Obi-Wan knows this because he is usually the one to pack spare robes for them both). His wet hair is dripping water into his eyes that's beginning to turn them an irritated red, and there's algae sliding down the side of his face, it really is masterful work.

"Oh...I'm sure I'll be able to find something by myself, it's okay Master, I know you had important work to do."

Qui-Gon visibly hesitates. Obi-Wan starts shivering. He turns to walk away. He's stopped by his Master's hand on his shoulder. His Master, who walks back with him, who gets clean clothes from their hosts, who has folded like wet flimsi and even explains his stupid, stupid plan before choosing to hotwire a hoverbike with a passenger seat! Oh, Obi-Wan really has cracked the code!

Afterwards, Obi-Wan stages an increasingly pitiful accident for himself every time his patented 'Qui-Gon Jinn Bullshit' detector goes off. Eventually, his Master stops leaving him behind at all, even giving him funny looks when he turns around and Obi-Wan isn’t next to him. It never fails to make Obi-Wan grin and run to catch up. Sure, his reputation as a perfect padawan is in tatters, alongside his dignity, but it’s a small price to pay for a place at his Master’s side, for him to remember there’s a place for Obi-Wan there.

When the ray shields come up on Naboo, Qui-Gon doesn't charge ahead and leave his padawan behind, he hasn't for years. He waits for Obi-Wan because it feels wrong to do otherwise, his padawan belongs at his side.

Much, much later, when Obi-Wan is drinking to the end of the war with friends, Commander Cress will ask him how he kept General Jinn from running off for entire decade. Obi-Wan laughs, informs him, and resolutely ignores the scene Quinlan is making as the man cackles and pulls up a book to shove at them both, titled Classical Conditioning 101: A guide to subtle psychological manipulation.

#obi-wan: you ABANDON padawan? you leave him behind like lost toy? oh! oh! Jail for Master! Jail for Master for One Thousand Years!!!! #14 yr old obi decides the best way to deal with qui gon is to assign himself the mans poor little meow meow and uknow what it fucking works #accidentally stumbling into emotional vulnerability to have a better relationship #he's got the right answer with the wrong equation but we'll take it #obi wan kenobi #qui gon jinn #padawan obi wan #qui gon and obi wan #star wars

☑ thinking about the scene in dooku: jedi lost where yoda and dooku are discussing a jedi named yula braylon who secretly had a son and hid him out of fear that the jedi would hate her for it, aka the exact fear anakin had with padme in rots, and yoda confirmed that if she had told the council, the council would have helped her, just like they would have helped anakin:

Reading Lost Stars is fun, but a really weird thing when your brain is trying to make it mesh with subsequent canon stuff like Rogue One.

Like, I can only assume that Tarkin himself ordered that, in order to fuck with the newbies' heads, no one aboard was to tell them that actually, the Death Star was used twice last week.

But seriously, the book is worth a read.

Cody is the type of guy to adopt an old, scraggly looking cat. He isn't going to, but then he hears someone in his building is moving, and they can't keep their cat, so either someone takes it or they get rid of it. And Cody reluctantly gets pressured into taking it.

And at first they're roommates, sometimes he talks to it like it's a person. "Ripley, where is my phone? C'mon old girl, you saw me with it."

But then the cat gets used to him, and suddenly, he sits at night watching TV with this cat sitting on the arm of the chair next to him. "You see that? Unrealistic. You'd have to stick the knife deeper for it to bleed that much." "Meow."

But then, one random night, he's had a bad day. He's frustrated and annoyed at everyone and everything. He's sitting with his feet up on the table in front of him, and he's scowling. Then these little paws start stepping across his abdomen, and he stares down at the cat in bewilderment as it curls up on his abdomen and falls asleep. He gives her a little scratch behind the ear, and she purrs rather loudly.

After that, it becomes a nightly tradition.

Eventually, she gets out of his apartment and finds her way to a kind stranger and befriends him. When this kind stranger brings her back, Cody and this kind, friendly, and rather handsome stranger start getting along. A couple of months later, Obi-Wan wakes up in Cody's bed to see Ripley, the little old lady, sitting on his chest staring him down.
