I appreciate The Empire Strikes Back for being the only time I can think of when a character just shot their enemy as soon as they saw them without pausing or having a dramatic moment beforehand.

The real reason Ahsoka left the Jedi was bc she loved the beach but her master was Anakin (sand) so she left for a well-needed vacation

The funniest "early family reunion" on the Death Star / crack canon divergence AU that I can think of right now is Darth Vader and C-3PO. Threepio gets separated from the others somehow and ends up running into Darth Vader in some random hallway, and it's just a real "What." moment for Darth Vader. (Threepio is screaming in terror and begging for his life, of course.)

Because, like, that's the droid that HE built for his mom. That's the droid that followed his wife around during the Clone Wars. What the fuck is Threepio doing HERE??? NOW??? Did Obi-Wan (Vader has still caught the Kenobi vibes on the station here, obviously) have Threepio for the past NINETEEN years? That asshole. That sounds SO annoying, too. Good. Obi-Wan deserves that.

Thankfully, this is not as catastrophic as Vader getting R2-D2, because Threepio has had a memory wipe and no one ever tells Threepio much of anything (he's got some information on the Rebellion but most of it is outdated, especially after the destruction of Alderaan). But Threepio has spent the past two days or so hanging out with Luke Skywalker, and also witnessed the destruction of the Lars farm, both of which as revelations may cause Vader to flip out in weird ways. (Artoo is STILL around too??? That traitor.) Possibly, this may be enough of a distraction to allow Obi-Wan to actually slip away and live, but maybe not.

The important thing is that Threepio is taken off the Death Star somehow, so he can become "Death Vader's gaudy gold-plated protocol droid who has anxiety and is annoying as hell but Vader takes him EVERYWHERE". Imperial soldiers from random troopers up to genuinely important Admirals occasionally have to deal with "droid-sitting" duty while Vader is out doing scary, evil Force of Nature stuff and they all hate it, because Threepio never shuts up, has a knack for wandering off (he's trying to pull a daring escape) and nearly getting himself torn to pieces (people have actually gotten hurt trying to follow him), and most people don't have the guts to just turn Darth fucking Vader's pet droid off for a little while. Vader COULD just reprogram him or put in a restraining bolt or take Threepio's legs off, but he can just pick Threepio up with the Force, so it's whatever to him. (There IS a tracker installed, but Threepio doesn't actually know where to run anyway.)

Threepio's official role is "translator" for Darth Vader, which Threepio has somehow taken to also mean "mediator". So, whenever an Imperial officer is getting threatened by Vader, there's a stuffy protocol droid behind him saying things like, "Oh my! I'd listen to him if I were you! What happened to the last fellow was rather unpleasant," and, "It's impossible to get good help these days, isn't it, Master Vader?" and it sucks. The only one who could really do anything to stop this is the Emperor and Darth Sidious couldn't care less about his apprentice's latest purse dog droid.

Unclear whether or not Vader at this point actually has any real fondness for this piece of his past / reminder or his lost loved ones, is just super lonely, secretly thinks Threepio's surprisingly deadly antics are funny, or is using Threepio as bait for R2-D2 (come get him, you little fucker) and the others. Might be a combination of all these things.

i know anakin and padme both having curly hair while luke & leia's is straight is more of an era/actors thing, but it's also really funny to imagine the twins having naturally curly hair and just doing this before every scene:

Genevieve O’Reilly said that while in season 1 she looked to a lot of female political figures across the spectrum and world to inform her characterization of Mon Mothma, in season 2 she looked to Constance Markiewicz and Mary McAleese as her inspiration for a leader during violence and rebellion and how you go from that to government and the range involved there.

(I’m listening to her interview with Nihal Arthanayake and it’s so fascinating).

She also said that Mon Mothma is unique in Star Wars and its archetype because she doesn’t pick up arms, or a lightsaber. Her power is in her voice and diplomacy, and it’s hard to create space for that in a genre narrative, but Tony Gilroy achieved it in the series to show that the voice can have power, and that you can shift things with a voice and diplomacy, which is so interesting and why Andor does so well.

[starwarstrack23]

So, uh ... how about that Ghorman arc, huh?

To those who didn't like the final scene of Andor.

Cassian died for the future he never got to see.

[starwarstrack23]

Am I the only one who doesn’t think the pregnancy changes anything?

I’m seeing so many takes that the pregnancy destroys Bix’s character and agency, and that it’s a betrayal to Rogue One. We all thought it made sense for Bix to leave before, and it was her decision. She was recovered enough to stand on her own without death sticks. She listened to the Force telling her that Cassian needed to be in the fight, and chose the fight over family. She didn’t get side lined soley because she was pregnant.

I don’t think it invalidates that Rogue One is made up of people with nothing left, or that these characters are building a sunset they’ll never see. Cass still has Wilmon, Vel, Melshi, and Bix. He’s was never fighting with the thought that he was alone. There are still so many characters who won’t see that Sunrise like Cinta, Yung, Luthen, and Cassian. But they All have a precious person who Will see that sunrise.

The reasons for Bix leaving haven’t changed, and Cassian was going to leave with her whether he knew about the baby or not. The circumstances of Rogue One haven’t changed either, because knowing Jyn had no one left never applied to everyone else.

kind of actually soooo fucking funny that my man jung was like “I’m toast anyway they know what I’m up to” and then the ISB was like “we lost a great man and dedra meero is a rebel spy”

[starwarstrack23]

I love how s2 of Andor shows us how all the sacrifices the Imperial characters make for the Empire are ultimately worthless. Syril, Dedra, and Partagaz all have different variations on the same ending. and to them Krennic is the big bad guy who represents the Empire but then in Rogue One we learn that essentially he’s in the same situation: giving everything to the Empire and it amounting to nothing in the end.
