Sorry Not Sorry To Make This About Star Wars, But This Is Exactly Where I Think Star Wars Fails With

cunt dooku

But what about the age gap???

this is for @keldabekush :)

the progression of the lineages in star wars is so funny to me like count dooku, most pretentious asshole this side of thrawn, sees his legacy in a colourful mandalorian girl with more attunement to the evil lesbian hunting her down than to the force. Mace Windu, incredibly well respected duelist and diplomat, eventually leads to a kid who calls himself jabba the hutt and turned his lightsaber into a gun

I 100% thought vernestra was supposed to be an entirely different alien species bc she does NOT look Mirialan 😮‍💨

I still can’t believe they went from this in Attack of the Clones (2002) to this in The Acolyte (2024) even though they’re both portraying Mirialan Jedi Masters.

Vernestra looks like they just slapped some green make-up and some eyeliner dots on the actress and called it a day. It’s awful, especially since she has so many close-ups. Twenty-two years ago they made Luminara look like an actual humanoid alien, with beautiful details in both costume and make-up. Even though she's basically a background character, she looks so much more natural as a Jedi.

love a character that's like. i survived (<- not a brag) (<- this is a curse that weighs on me every waking hour)

Leia the Hutslayer.

I lured my twin sister down the Star Wars rabbit hole. This is her first SW fanart, featuring vindictive Leia killing the terrible Jabba. We both noticed most “Leia killing Jabba” artwork focuses on Leia’s sexy submission instead of her strength, so this piece turns her objectifying guise into a lethal weapon..  

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

i don’t know how some of you can go “well naboo ALWAYS elected teen girls to rule them, it’s tradition!” then just leave it at that. like i think there’s a lot to interrogate here lmao

"I never believed she was real, she seemed so fake" ??? If that's ur criticism, fine whatever, but isn't it more interesting to think about why this character might maintain a false persona, a stiff mask, in order to conceal a true self? The possibility that she does not and has never known her true self because she's never had the opportunity?? That that repression might affect her choices throughout her life? Maybe more of that complexity could have actually been shown in the movies, but no one's stopping you from reading between the lines a little, getting a lil imaginative with it? But no let's just say she's boring

ok, phrasing my objections a bit better: this is a reblog on an old web weave i did paralleling padme to lolita, talking about natalie portman being sexualized at a young age, how this may have bled into her taking on of an "adult" role, and at the end being critical of padme's positioning in the larger star war saga. it's an old post & ive now deleted it. because as much as i think padme's writing could've stood more complexity, i don't think there's any less imaginative or simple a viewpoint than "a CHILD as a QUEEN? NONSENSE. boring!!". like idk how the takeaway on a female character being a little inconsistent or having some flaws in her foundation is always that she should be wiped out completely & hated nonstop. im tired!
