We did not know what we were getting into when we decided to do an episode on The Whills. The more we researched, the less we seemed to grasp the concept. The Whills are, in essence, The Force in Star Wars. But it's so much more complicated than just an energy that surrounds us. We're talking about the thing that binds the galaxy together. Midi-chlorians, Jedha City, The Grand Experiment, Anakin Skywalker, The Journal of the Whills, the guardians of the Whills, the disciples of the Whills, Force ghosts, shamans, priestesses...welcome to one of the craziest rabbit holes in all of Star Wars! Join us as we try to make sense of George Lucas' building blocks for a galaxy far, far away.

STAR WARS - LUTHEN'S SHOP

I love the fact the Father, Daughter and Son wall art is in Luthen's shop. But the thing that got me super excited!

I'm almost 100% certain that the piece of wall art/carving is The Whills shown in The Clone Wars animated series. LOOK AT IT! But also the background with its circular motifs is definitely the same as the animated series. Ah, Star Wars deep dive makes me happy.

I know certain parts of Star Wars fandom are determined to see literally everything about the Jedi in the most bad faith way possible but one of the most baffling examples to me is when people act like they look down on all other force religions and don't take the time to understand them because they see their own way as superior when there is quite literally nothing to suggest that. Like the only other force users they have any actual beef with on principle are the Sith, which I'd say is justified considering the Sith are a bunch of fascist pricks who constantly try to take over the galaxy. Literally all the others are either allies of the Jedi or the Jedi just leave them alone to do their thing.

#like remember the guardians of the whills who are said to have evolved in parallel with the jedi #or the wookiees who yoda has good relations with and there was a whole planned tcw arc about it #or kanan and ezra respecting the lasats and even participating in one of their rituals #or even the bardottans who don't like the jedi but the jedi respect them anyway #or even the fucking nightsisters who the jedi leave alone as long as they don't cause any trouble #y'know as opposed to the sith who genocided two of those groups. and enslaved another. and destroyed another's sacred city.#literally of the five groups i mentioned the bardottans are the only ones not confirmed to have been victims of the sith #and that's just cause we have yet to see them in anything set after tcw. considering the track record here it doesn't look great for them.#but yeah clearly the jedi are the intolerant ones here #star wars #shut up tristan

just wan't y'all to know that if you ever reblog something from me with the tags "me and who " or something similar then I will think "oh I should reblog this and say me and you" and then I will get scared and I will leave the tab open for a week+ and finally i will realize that i simply am not brave enough and i will close the tab and forget. anyway what im getting at here is uhhh. i don't know actually

#finn says shit #my computer is lagging so bad that whille making this post (and this tag!) i would type entire sentence without my screen changing at all #and then after a few seconds everything i typed would load #so would just have to notice when i made a typo and go back the exact right amount of spaces to fix it #it's still doing that

everyone look away for a sec I’m going to be extremely delulu on main-

So like, I was doing the event (it’s fucking adorable takes 5 minutes and gives 100 jades, highly recommended), and as part of the event, you help Kafka pick scenes to shoot as a film, and the scene background options are

And, like, there is a very specific character in this game that comes to mind when thinking about the vast sea of stars that is the universe

And when you pick that option, that’s what that background looks like (ft. Cute found family stellaron hunters);

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

#kafhime #I’m not usually delulu in public but the second I saw this it infected my mind like a plague #This means nothing but like I’m on so much copium I don’t even care #*pretending I don’t care about Kafka so her demo comes out faster after I jinxed it the first time*#Himeko gazes up at the sea of stars and makes it her goal to touch them #Whille being Kafka’s untouchable star she looks towards but doesn’t think there’s a point in reaching out to

top 5 headcanons? Your own or just faves!

GREAT question so these are just the ones off the top of my head:

1. This headcanon for Mando teaching the kid sign language, and the kid communicating back

2. Not something I came up with, but I like the idea of Luke having permanent Force-lightning scars as a result of Palpatine using it on him in RotJ

3. Personal headcanon: I think Han Solo would have taken Leia’s last name when they got married: Han (at least in the movies) had no family ties to the name ��Solo,’ it was the name the Imperial officer gave him when he enlisted in the military to escape Corellia. It’s the perfect description for a smuggler on his own who only thinks of himself and his ship (though eventually Chewie becomes a part of The Only Things Han Solo Cares About).

The most important thing about Han Solo’s character that I think many audiences and even official creators (INCLUDING GEORGE LUCAS SOMEHOW) seem to forget is that Han’s whole character arc is that he was NOT a good guy— He BECOMES a good guy. All of the tension surrounding him in the original trilogy is based on the fact Han Solo looks out for himself. His return at the end of A New Hope is predicated on the audience being surprised that he came back.

Each movie, there was no guarantee that he would stay or stick around when the going got tough. By the end of the trilogy, Han’s character arc has ended with him choosing to be a part of something bigger and caring for people beyond himself and beyond his circle of friends. Choosing to marry Leia means choosing to remain relatively sedentary and present for her (and by extension their family, friends, and the New Republic), and besides, what better way to throw people off the scent and protect yourself from your criminal past than by marrying into the royal and political-leading family?

TLDR: Han takes Leia’s last name after they’re married because he finally has a family he chooses to tie himself to.

4. Personal headcanon: Leia does not forgive Vader for what he became, regardless of whether Luke says he redeemed himself in the end.

Leia not only saw the war he led and the atrocities he committed her entire life, he enabled/directed the destruction of her entire home planet before her very eyes. Leia loves her brother, but she cannot reconcile what Luke says about Vader being a good person with the war criminal she knew him to be.

Bonus headcanon: I think in the sequel trilogy Leia should have been the one to see a vision of her son’s future and she should have been either the catalyst for Ben Solo leaving, or she should have been the one who said she saw too much of Vader in him as an adult and he had to be killed in order to be defeated, while Luke and Han should have been the ones trying to bring him back. Luke’s character in the original trilogy was defined by compassion and mercy even towards one of the worst people the galaxy had to offer, and Han’s character was defined by the people who didn’t give up on him and whose encouragement and support and willingness to see the good in him were the reasons he was able to become a good person.

5. Personal headcanon: I’ve had the idea since 2020 that Mando’s family on Aq Vetina were part of the Disciples of the Whills. I’ve liked the idea of Mando being connected in a non-Force-sensitive way to other lore surrounding the Force, and I’ve based it on the similarities in costume design and because I think thematically, the idea of exploring the Force through a different lens than the Jedi would have made a much more interesting and compelling story in what was originally a relatively independent TV show with new characters on a much smaller scale, exploring different parts of the galaxy.

How I understand the doctrine of the Whills is that it’s more trying to understand the direction of the Force as it tries to find balance in the world, and the result of those teachings means seeing how the Force working in others is what benefits people— In Rogue One Chirrut says “May the Force of others be with you,” which I’ve interpreted as “Yes the Force exists and has an impact on life and death, but because it is the connection binding every living thing together, it’s our choices and the actions we take and the connections we form that exhibit the Force, which are what will ultimately save us in the end.” Chirrut says “The Force protected me,” and Baze Malbus says “I protected you,” and they are both right.

In the context of The Mandalorian, I wanted to see what could have happened if the show diverged from the Jedi, who to be clear were a specific order of Force sensitive followers whose primary purpose was as protectors of the galaxy— The Jedi teachings weren’t just a belief system, they were combined with a martial art and specific learned abilities that were intended to be used to protect people. That doesn’t mean their way was the only way Force-sensitives interacted with the Force.

Long story short, I wanted Mando’s potential ties to a different part of Star Wars lore to be the gateway to exploring more of the galaxy that these stories were set in. I think it would have been a lot more interesting and would have freed up the story to go whatever direction it needed without being confined to the Jedi and prior source material

STAR WARS without the force just feels like WAR WARS to me but in this series im here for it bc of the ripe-for-picking political exploration of the universe which has been overdue bc the prequels were over 20 years ago! and little subtle nods to the Force like "The Eye" of aldhani... beautiful!!

a star wars story without a force presence truly is muted in darkness and andor does a great great job at displaying that both narratively and visually with its somber colors, mist, shadow, pallid light and stretches of silence...

all those spaces? that dullness? that's the absense of the force and the light. no color, no sound, no happiness, no life.

& moral ambiguity for all (as the sith/empire is at peak power) and suppressing the light. so well done and not outright stated or obvious.

i think when ppl watch this show and cheer that there's "no lightsabers" they are missing the point of that decision. that the down-to-earthness, the War Wars of it, feels that way because the magic is, literally, gone. the force is gone.

which also reflects our own world.
