Dead ass tho. We sometimes forget, collectively as a group of people observing this franchise, that there are nasty dance clubs all over the Star Wars universe. The Galaxy. An entire system of worlds. There are places that play shitty dance remixes for 12 hours and where cross fraction hook ups probably happen every night.
Do not forget this. Beyond Tatooine, beyond stuffy meeting halls, the palaces of royalty, a storm trooper probably just had his 3rd drink and he’s bout to get the best dick of his life from something with 4 arms. He’s living the dream. Do not forget him.
OH GOOD HEAVENS LOOKS LIKE IT IS TIME FOR ME TO MAKE THIS POST AGAIN:
If you think that the Galactic Empire is a 1:1 equivalent to Nazi Germany, and that liking Imperial characters is equivalent to being a fascist IRL and means someone deserves all the internet outrage you can muster –
you are carving out LITERALLY 50% of the branding of one of the most popular entertainment franchises in the world, and saying THIS IS FOR IRL FASCISTS ONLY NORMAL PEOPLE DON’T INTERACT
POP QUIZ WHAT IS MORE OBJECTIVELY HARMFUL:
thinking grand moff tarkin is rad
leaving 50% of the canon of one of the largest franchises in the world as a fandom wasteland for fascists to set up shop
Not to mention – Disney has been really inclusive with regards to Imperial characters in a way that makes me think they are purposefully trying to mark the Empire as not something they want IRL fascists to relate to so let’s just… appreciate that
POP QUIZ #2 WHICH FANDOM LOOKS SAFER AND MORE FUN:
star wars fandom where the Rebels are ours and the Empire belongs to actual, IRL fascists
star wars fandom where the Rebels are ours and the Empire is ALSO ours and actual IRL fascists have the 0% share in star wars fandom that they deserve
This lovely volume (£5 from an ASDA superstore near you, fellow Brits!) is a very special kind of book that basically encourages kids (actual and mental) to doodle their own drawings around pre-drawn scenarios with SW characters. It’s new, it’s adorable and it’s surprisingly insightful into the characters’ psyches. I include some of my favourites here, which include lonely Hux who just needs a friend (I thought of you, @huxfanblog!), brooding, maskless Kylo thinking about x (you decide!), angry Kylo doing a toddler stomp and Rey being precious and hungry. All illustrations are by the very talented Zack Giallongo.
This is so neat! I loved books like this when I was little!~
