REBELCAPTAINWEEK DAY 1: SIGNIFICANT MOMENTS (insp)

Abrams does not have he best track record with movies in my book, but these characters are delightful.

@jjabrams It feels impossible, but today wrapped photography on Episode IX. There is no adequate way to thank this truly magical crew and cast. I’m forever indebted to you all.

It was a routine meeting in the SGC.

Agreed!

Remove the White Supremacists

Dear Tumblr @staff, 

In light of the recent white supremacist terror attacks worldwide: 

We, the Tumblr community (your community), implore you to change your previously passive policy against white supremacy and white nationalist extremist ideologies. 

Every major news station, social expert, and experts on extremist ideologies have identified that these extremist ideologies are spread and grown on online platforms: specifically social platforms. They have identified the major ways that communities can confront these violent extremist views; the biggest one being for social media groups to actually start removing user accounts that post and spread extremist white nationalist dog whistles, memes, and rhetoric.

Your users are begging for your help in stemming the rising tide of xenophobic violence. As has become evident by the recent terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, these ideologies don’t begin with violence, but with strategically spouted rhetoric and hate speech that riles up others who are vulnerable to being persuaded by their subtle methods. 

Please.  If you support the safety of your users.  If you support the Muslim Community. If you support the Jewish Community.  If you support People of Color.  If you support your users regardless of color or religious background. 

Then it’s time to start taking a proactive stance against extremist white supremacist and nationalist ideologies and remove them. 

The signatures and reblogs below should serve to show you how strongly your userbase feels about this. We all stand for a world without Hate. Do you?

Interesting

Symbols of the Galaxy

When the Andor title and sizzle reel were released, we also saw a brand new symbol from the GFFA. It makes up the O in the Andor title.

Here are some Rebel Alliance-affiliated symbols for comparison.

From left to right: a rebel symbol seen on the helmets of some pilots in Rogue One; the traditional symbol for the Alliance to Restore the Republic aka the Rebel Alliance as first seen in A New Hope; and the symbol for the Alliance, particularly Phoenix Cell, as first seen in Star Wars: Rebels. These symbols have been generally referred to as a variation on a starbird.

The following are some other symbols seen in the GFFA for comparison.

From left to right: the symbol for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, aka the Separatists; the symbol for the Jedi Order; the symbol for the Galactic Republic; and the symbol for the Empire.

The Andor symbol is most similar to rebel symbols from the Rebellion era than any symbols from the Prequels era, including the Separatists with whom Cassian was once affiliated.

So, it’s likely that the symbol we see in Andor is that of an early rebel group, like Pheonix Cell.

Potentially, this could be the symbol for the Atrivis Resistance Group, or a predecessor. The ARG does not yet have a symbol in canon, nor did it have one in Legends based on available information.

I really enjoyed this VR experience. I think K2 was the best part.

Why it was never just a show set in space.
