i love when a published scientific journal has a very serious analysis on a niche fandom thing you were curious about

highlights include:

one of the author’s photos literally just being the guy in a storm trooper helmet

“'Normal everyday activities' include various friendly encounters as well as torture of enemies, colleagues, and employees;”

the authors low key roasting anakin

“Due to his quite severe facial burns, it is difficult to determine whether Darth Vader exhibits ‘cherry-red cheeks’ at this stage, a typical clinical finding associated with carbon monoxide poisoning, but his rather agitated emotional state is characteristic of the cerebral dysfunction often encountered in this clinical condition.”

“Dark Lord of the Sith: A blue bloater in disguise?”

a side tangent on general grievous

“In contrast to General Grievous, the Supreme Commander of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, who is a clear-cut case of chronic bronchitis with a rattling cough, Darth Vader is never once observed to cough during the Star Wars saga.”

Thought of the day:

I feel like the Fall of Anakin Skywalker would have been more tragic had he not killed the Tusken younglings.

Like, imagine the draw of events where you see Anakin slaughter the Tuskens and then corner those two Tusken Younglings against the wall of a tent, the glare of his lightsaber burning the shadows at sharp angles, the smaller of two kids clutching the ball they'd been playing with -

And then Anakin stops, even in his rage and grief, because this is wrong, this is too much, and he knows it.

This is a line he will not cross.

So he tears himself away, and takes his mothers body home, the children's silhouette disappearing into the fading desert dusk behind him.

( We ignore the dubious odds of their survival after, alone in the desert surrounded by the dead- the crux was that Anakin would not go so far as to slaughter children.)

And then you have Order 66 at the end of the war, and he storms the temple, and it is the same scene all over again:

The Jedi Younglings cornered in the Council Chamber, two of them huddled at the fore, the glare of his lightsaber burning the shadows at sharp angles, the smaller of the two younglings clutching their little training helmet -

And you see it on his face, that line, that uncrossable line, just shattering.

You realise that this is the moment, the last possible moment to turn back-

And that he isn't going to stop.

.

He doesn't stop.

this is also your reminder that yes han was a star wars flat earther he was 13 during o66 there’s no way he didn’t have a concept of the jedi. like yeah he was a scrapper or whatever but he was still in the core. by sheer jedi proximity his bosses *had* to have had at least a couple run ins with jedi,, at the very least he’s seen them on the holonet

this is your daily reminder how ridiculous it is people go after anidala for the age gap when leia literally married a guy who was 13 whole years old when she popped out the oven

#"i have no idea where he gets it from," says area jedi knight still picking glass out of his robes from leaping out of senator amidala's window earlier in the evening.

i thought about the complete lack of satine in mando s3 again and i got so annoyed i had to make a comic

(commission info // tip jar!)

[bromberrybee]

the time stamps imply that in this au ezra not only met kanan 5 years earlier but also that ezra is 10 in that video. “taking my preteen stormtrooper hunting because instilling acab in your children early is essential”

U known i think it would be very funny if Palpatine was like "all the Jedi are dead!!!!!" and meanwhile the surviving Jedi are on space YouTube making vlogs and tuto about how to throw down an Empire

I cannot emphasize enough how much you need to read thoroughly through the terms of any publication before you send your writing to them. It is mandatory that you know and understand what rights you’re giving away when you’re trying to get published.

Just the other day I was emailed by a relatively new indie journal looking for writers. They made it very clear that they did not pay writers for their work, so I figured I’d probably be passing, but I took a look at their Copyright policy out of curiosity and it was a nightmare. They wanted “non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license and right to use, display, reproduce, distribute, and publish the Work on the internet and on or in any medium” (that’s copy and pasted btw) and that was the first of 10 sections on their Copyright agreement page. Yikes. That’s exactly the type of publishing nightmare you don’t want to be trapped in. 

Most journals will ask for “First North American Rights” or a variation on “First Rights” which operate under the assumption that all right revert back to you and they only have the right to be the first publishers of the work. That is what you need to be looking for because you do want to retain all the rights to your work. 

You want all rights to revert back to you upon publication in case you, say, want to publish it again in the future or use it for a bookmark or post it on your blog, or anything else you might want to do with the writing you worked hard on. Any time a publisher wants more than that, be very suspicious. Anyone who wants to own your work forever and be able to do whatever they want with it without your permission is not to be trusted. Anyone who wants all that and wants you to sign away your right to ever be paid for your work is running a scam.

Protect your writing. It’s not just your intellectual property, it’s also your baby. You worked hard on it. You need to do the extra research to protect yourself so that a scammer (or even a well meaning start up) doesn’t steal you work right from under you nose and make money off of it.

the fact that darth vader’s breathing only ever starts after he’s already on screen implies anakin is out here holding his breath for extended periods of time exclusively for dramatic effect
