Leia Organa, after killing her first person on a rebel mission gone wrong: Dear Diary, my teen angst bullshit has a body count.

The light of Alderaan still travels through space and time, if you look up at the night sky it's like it never really left ✨ Happy May the 4th!

Never mind the “Who shot first?” stuff; THIS is the defining moment of the Han Solo character:

Everyone else was just like: “Oh, fuck: It’s Vader!” and standing around in shock and terror when Vader was revealed. Even Chewie.

Most people, I suspect, would have that reaction. 

Meanwhile, Han’s first reaction, instinctively, in less than a second, was to grab a gun and try to flat-out end the guy.

He failed, of course. But God Damn if you can’t appreciate the effort.

The Force: bad things are gonna happen

Jedi: ????? What bad things

The Force: watch out

People really post like "lol this movie's writing is so stupid, why would Anakin, who's from a DESERT PLANET, specifically hate sand?"

I'm from a cold region and I hate the cold. The only unrealistic part about him casually mentioning that he hates sand is him not going into a highly detailed 35 minute rant about different types of sand that all have different specific names based on texture and rock type, and the specific way each individual sand type fucks up different vehicles, droids, items of clothing and orifices when it gets everywhere.

Took Mando'a for foreign language credit @ University of Alderaan

Working towards a degree in Alderaanian Culture

tried explaining star wars fandom to my dad and settled on the simile that sw is too big and fucked up to know everything and you sort of have to choose a major like mando lore studies or jedi lineage trees and then we all come together but do not get along just like real academia. anyway what’s ur major

Battling my fear of posting random little sketches, so here's a Luke study for you Because I love him and because art block

[jediknightleiaskywalker]

ok so. I've been thinking. what if leia's "thing" is that she's imperceptible in the force. like, she's so innately powerful at shielding, she's just not there. Anakin didn't know padme was having twins because he literally couldn't sense leia's presence. yoda and obi-wan were fine with bail taking leia because they couldn't perceive her thoughts, even as an infant. neither reva nor vader could penetrate her mind. she spent years in the senate alongside palpatine and he had no idea she was force sensitive. the only person who can see leia for who she really is is the one who has been there from the beginning — luke.

[jediknightleiaskywalker]

My working theory is that because of the whole force-nepo-baby deal, Anakin and by extension the twins have such a weird and overwhelming force presence, many creatures can't help but be intrigued or even captivated by them – sometimes to a point where it's so confusing/irritating, they have to hurt them about it. Badly.

Now, Anakin had several years of actual Jedi training to help with that, while Leia was raised as a politician and subconsciously figured out how to mask it.

Luke, however, grew up in the middle of nowhere on a desert planet and never learned any of that. This is why he kept being singled out and attacked for no fucking reason at the start.

Mace and Anakin Save Tatooine

Due to a paperwork mixup, Mace ends up taking teen padawan Anakin as backup on a mission. He’s very impressed by Anakin’s power, but quickly realizes that, uh, there’s a lot going on here. Their ship breaks down on the way back to Coruscant and while they wait for it to be fixed–there’s a weird law to encourage local businesses so Anakin can’t just buy parts and fix it himself–Mace awkwardly tries to coax Anakin into having a Frank Conversation About Things. It goes poorly, as many things with Anakin and emotions do, until a nearby twi’lek recognizes Anakin’s accent and starts talking to him in Huttese.

Through no fault of Mace’s own, the pit stop for repairs turns into him somehow enabling a Tatooine Slave Revolution.

He’s not sure how he got in this situation but he suddenly has much more sympathy for Obi-Wan’s absurd mission reports.

[jediknightleiaskywalker]

A few years into knighthood, Obi-Wan takes a solo mission to work off some stress while Anakin goes on a class field trip. Maybe it’s a two-week thing to Ilum and the crechemaster asked for Anakin to come along as assistant because he just got upgraded to Senior Padawan and he needs some practice with the kids anyway. Obi-Wan wasn’t invited. Doesn’t matter. Point is, he’s alone and mostly relaxed with the opportunity to dodge enemy fire and the plots of wicked men without having to worry about a teenager. He gets a little drunk, he falls into bed with strangers, he loses his clothes, he gambles a little.

He gambles a lot.

He… just won a moon. And eight ships.

And fifty slaves.

Okay, fine, that’s fine, he can work with that, great opportunity to free enslaved people. Anakin will love this story. He doesn’t need the moon, though, he can lose that on the next hand, it’ll make people less likely to shoot him when he goes to leave and how did he just win the crown jewels of a small planet.

Did he just win another sixty slaves?

How is this–

No, he didn’t–

“You just won majority ownership of MandalMotors–”

Why the fuck did someone put up the controlling stake of a company that big as a bet

He was just looking to let off some steam.

What just happened.

I’ll never quite get over just how integrated kids are into daily Jedi life and the implications of that.

Dooku’s Temple "job" for years seems to have been “teaching lightsaber preschool.” Sifo-Dyas, the guy with the scary doom visions? Oh yeah, they have him working with infants, bringing babies to the Temple as a Seeker. Jocasta Nu is constantly depicted interacting with the younger generation of Jedi, teaching, helping, or mentoring. In TCW, she knows all the Padawans on sight. 

There’s just something really ordinary and charming to me about this. Sure, Dooku is a terrifying 2m of spider limbs in a robe, but he’s still going down on one sinister knee to check out the little crying kid who got a finger crunched by one of those wooden training swords. How many of the TCW-era Jedi were once babies who played with Sifo-Dyas’s hair loopies or cuddled on his chest as he pointed his T-6 back toward the Temple after another successful Seeking mission? (Space is, after all, cold. 🥺) You just know Jocasta is in very reluctant possession of knowledge of every single teen Padawan drama, crush, or breakup. She tries to stay out of it, but she’s broken up fights and pulled particulars into her office for tea and a gentle lecture on the inherent self-destructiveness of gossip. 

And these are not “just some” Jedi - they are all combat trained, politically important, at the top of their rank and even each sit on the Council at some point in their lives. The Jedi Order really went “super powerful space wizards with laser swords, yeah, but they should also all definitely know how to change a diaper."
