I love you, Obi-Wan and Luke parallels ❤️

I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi - like my father.

seeing mon and kleya’s thrilling escapes from coruscant makes leia’s first reaction to luke and han even funnier. leia must’ve heard about these highly skilled rebels but then when she gets captured, she gets a hillbilly farmboy and an idiot smuggler to rescue her

still good in him

got the gucci belt and chanel boots to match

Demeter and Persephone, together in summer ^_^

This was an old drawing that I had to colour :)

Thinking once again how Luthen was there trolling an whole fandom with a walking-stick-alike real sword when everyone was waiting to see a lightsaber.

Dat man is really everything to me.

So I have no more content to consume about Luthen Rael and I feel desperate. Yes, we can say "ao3!!" but it is as if it were not enough for me and perhaps they will never write a book about him because part of his being and charm is that he has made himself invisible to the sw history all for the sake of Rebellion and maybe, as a metacinematic way, not show us more about him would make the game of the old bastard more real.

BUT I NEED MORE!!

List of things in Andor that absolutely snatched my weave fucking Star Wars Disney let be in Andor:

Attempted rape.

Visceral and realistic police brutality.

A meaningful queer relationship.

A none-insignificant amount of blood and violence.

Implied drug abuse.

Imperial characters that were very real people-- and not just British cartoon villians.

Pointed depictions of bureaucratic laziness and incompetence.

Consistent, coherent, well rationed Marxist, socialist, anarchist, and revolutionary theory and philosophy.

A realistic depiction of the practicalities and morally compromising nature of fighting a totalitarian regime. The degree of physical, emotional, and spiritual sacrifice that actually goes into it.

Genocide.

Genocide being called explicitly genocide.

Prison abolitionism.

A fancy white woman forced to sacrifice her daughter for the cause drunkenly dancing her feelings away like the queen she is.

"Make it stop, make it stop."

Weaponized old lady brick being a highlight kickass moment.

Several characters fates being left hauntingly ambiguous.

"Work visa."

A care to squeeze in these strangely humanizing moments-- like Luthen taking a moment to get into his Antique Dealer headspace in season 1, or Cassian taking the time to water plants he likely never had a chance to return to in the final episode.
