"I Never Believed She Was Real, She Seemed So Fake" ??? If That's Ur Criticism, Fine Whatever, But Isn't

it is so so cool how the first ever mention of padme comes at the tail end of rotj, just a half-memory from leia (“beautiful, kind…but sad”) that luke desperately clings to. and then the first ever onscreen appearance of padme comes from a screen-within-a-screen as she threatens the trade federation (“its queen amidala herself!”) in queen regalia so elaborate it masks her identity. we see padme through the eyes and faded memories of others before we get to know her as a human being. she barely steps out of that imperial queen persona for the whole of tpm, and then by the time we do get to see who padme really is and what she’s like with the queen mask off (aotc, rots), we find out she is, in fact, the sum of both her kids. she is endlessly forgiving and very smart and she burns for justice but is forever marked by war. she is her son, she is her daughter. you have this urge to see more of padme throughout the films, then by the time she’s telling vader she sees the good in him, you realize you’ve known her all along:) and luke’s response of “i have no memory of my mother, i never knew her” hits a million times harder, because he didn’t need to know her to carry out her legacy. it’s loose and a bit clunky but this is the magic to star wars releasing in backwards order, you get to find out padme never died!

me: i mean i don’t really care what other people think of star wars characters’ sexualities like. w/e, u know? different interpretations are chill 

some homophobe: but none of the star wars characters are gay there cannot be gay characters in star wars star wars does not have a single gay char

me: 

WE MADE IT FOLKS!!!

I know I'm not the only one to notice this, but osha's tattoo is incredibly similar to the BTS logo ...Osha is a space ARMY? Sparmy? Probably Jungkook biased imo

Reverse Star Wars AU writing challenge: every time canon fridges a mother, fridge the father instead. Every time a woman dies for the sake of Manpain™️, kill off the dude instead.

(I know this gets particularly complicated with Obi-Wan, because his woman-who-died-in-my-arms count is in the double digits at this point, but I have faith fandom can find a way.)

The only rule is that the story cannot be about a man. It cannot be about man angst. It has to center the women.

God is so immature??? If u have a problem with me u can talk to me like an adult, there's no need for all the Signs of Displeasure. So passive aggressive smh

Mon's really putting the panic in that disco, huh

He is bugs

Puffy sleeves and blues Senator Palpatine is matching the Euops genus of leaf-rolling weevils

Camarotus singularis and the chancellor’s spectacular sleeves

What in the world? Frog legged beetle Sagra Fulgida.

The Emperor is a pale imitation of the humble stag beetle. Lucanus Cervus.

What a brilliant color! Agrypnus arillaceus.

Imagine the Ember Island Players episode of ATLA but in Star Wars with TL4J!

omg yes, i think all media should legally be required to have an episode where the characters see a play about themselves

(commission info // tip jar!)

So I was going through a drawer of stuff from when I was little and I found this…
