Jedi Master Lene Kostana

I’ll admit, the format of Dooku: Jedi Lost was really hard for me to engage with. Because it reads like a script, it felt to me like all the characters were going 😐 at each other the whole time. I know I probably should have listened to it to get the full effect, but I have a really hard time locking in for audiobooks, even if it’s a whole production ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s one of my flaws. But anyway! Lene is so fascinating to me because she really is cut from the same disaster cloth as Yoda’s lineage. Almost every decision she made had me going “why would you do that” or “thats just going to make things worse” but we really do love to watch someone who’s technically not wrong about the fate of the galaxy continuously make questionable choices that harm the ones they care for and undermine their reputation with the Council. It’s an age-old tradition.

Here’s my headcanons for her -

- After getting to know Thame Cerulian through their shared interest in the Sith, she initially viewed him as an irritating, pseudo-intellectual bother. His belief that the Sith could return comes more from a place of (by her estimation) frivolous academic conjecture rather than actionable concern. However, when he’s offered a seat on the High Council, she realizes it could be advantageous to involve him in her research. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and as long as she puts up with him, he can intercept most of the prying questions from the Council. (To be clear, I don’t ship these two - Thame likes guys)

- She watches as Dooku, Sifo, and Jocasta all develop a big stupid crush on each other and goes out of her way to foster whatever that is. She does this largely because she thinks it’s cute, but also to confuse Thame and spite Yoda. Thame isn’t sure why these boys are always hanging out in his apartment, but he doesn’t really mind. Yoda knows exactly what’s going on, but is frankly relieved Dooku even has friends.

- While training Sifo, she quickly learns her words carry a lot of weight and anything she says could potentially end up being extremely impactful to her apprentice. This is advantageous most of the time - Sifo only needs to be told something once for the lesson to stick, and it warms her heart to see him basking in her praise, even over something small. The downside? Lene is horribly foul-mouthed, and Sifo is a sponge.

In terms of visual references, there’s obviously not much to go on. The book basically says she’s purple, she’s got a shaved head, and she has a curl of hair behind her right ear… The lil baby version of her in that one comic I haven’t read at least shows what the species looks like. @ junchan_nyan_art has a couple gorgeous drawings of younger Lene on insta, and @bolithesenate more or less captured how she looks in my mind! idk what the curl of hair behind her left ear is supposed to mean or look like. So I’m giving her a sick faux hawk. idc. I was pretty much happy with her design right off the bat, it just took a few drawings to really nail her features. What do we think, is this something?? I feel so late to the party. She’s been on my to draw list foreverrrrr but I just wasn’t getting around to reading the source material 💀 we’re really in serious blorbo territory now, this ain’t an entry level Star Wars blog anymore, if it ever was

Ok if we exclude Palpatine who has the gayest lightsaber?

Ultimately, it’s Lene and Thame who are really in trouble because Yoda’s SURE they both knew and didn’t say anything about it

[d3epfriedangels]

(let’s be honest, Yoda knew this whole time and he’s been waiting for the perfect moment to strike)

It’s always been odd to me that there are not any ocean scavengers equipped to take optimal advantage of large carcasses. Like…. in prehistoric times, the oceans were full of huge animals… was this a problem back then too?

[d3epfriedangels]

Yoda has so many other things to do, would he even notice?

if you want to materially aid palestinians undergoing genocide, please consider donating to the zahrat alhanun mutual aid fund. i personally am in contact with some of the organizers and can attest to the work they do. they're currently low on resources for the palestinian students and families that rely on them. you can learn more about ZAMA here! please share widely!!!!!

Click the actual post, it will take you to the tweet itself and the article. And tw only for my palestinian friends, but this is harrowing. And just.. depraved. No words. I really think it is worth reading.

"There is a feeling that senior officials in the army are aware of their failure on October 7, and are busy with the question of how to provide the Israeli public with an image [of victory] that will salvage their reputation.”

To be clear, the framing of the article is shaky, but the details of it is stomach churning. IDF is using AI to generate targets. Every civilian death was intentional.

“These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.”

I also want to add something that became clearer to me from philippine politics, as a survivor of Duterte's war on drugs where cops literally shot at me.

The duterte administration called every single leftist voice "terrorists", using that to push out laws making it legal to redtag, leading to arrests and imprisonment, literally murdering activists in broad daylight- it should have made it clear to everyone that the word "terrorist" as a descriptor is just a boogeyman. A tool of the fascist.
