For my lovely @thekyluxsecretsanta giftee @artemisdart - I'm sorry this is late and probably not quite what you wanted, but you did say *glove kink*. So have some Kylux glove close-ups (and two scandalous wrists!)

i know i'm not the first to say this, but the acolyte's cancellation has confirmed how tired i am of disney's decision-making when it comes to their content. i know nostalgia is the easiest way to a big payout, but we can only take so many spinoffs before the universe starts to feel too small. but then fresh content—content that's building on the canon by looking to old star wars lore while asking new questions—fizzles out.

it's the sequel trilogy all over again. we're promised something new, something that actually expands the canon rather than just recycling it, even bringing in concepts from legends, and then the rug is ripped out from underneath us & we're punished for ever caring about any of it. silly babygirl! palpatine was always the big bad (don't worry about the fact that this is thematically nonsense and not foreshadowed in any way), and rey isn't a nobody ("your parents sold you because they loved you"), and this isn't a story about how the force transcends human categories and dynasties (represented by a grey jedi force dyad between a legacy skywalker and a nobody orphan from a backwater planet, fulfilling not only balance between light and dark but also transcending the old to become something new). silly idiot!!! rey's a palpatine by birth and a skywalker by self-adoption and god forbid she create her own identity outside of these names our fans recognize. watch as she stands alone on a sand planet that has no personal significance to her, ending her arc almost exactly as she began. but look!! two suns! neat

i don't even know if fanservice is the right word. at a certain point, it just starts to feel like they're quaking in their boots at the thought of doing anything new. i had my gripes with some of the choices in the acolyte, but at least it was unique. it explored a new era and asked questions that star wars has only ever flirted with. like: what happens to the children who are uprooted from their homes at such a young age, yet can't find their place in the jedi order? how does one survive in a supposedly honorable system that nevertheless relies on the repression of some of humanity's most fundamental emotions? is it possible that an organization dictating exactly how one ought to interact with the very life force of the universe... could perhaps be faulty and shortsighted? what happens when the ways of that order clash with other cultures and worldviews? (spoilers: space colonialism). and that's not even to mention the ideas they play with re: the force itself (vergences! plagueis! force witches!)

i know not everyone loved the show, but a lot of people really did care about it. a lot of people, like me, were excited to see these new questions being raised. but forget it—the disney gods have decreed that it didn't hit some magical threshold of streaming hours or reach a "broad enough" audience in the two months it's been out. but don't worry guys. turn your brains off and tune in for the next spinoff 2 chewy 2 bacca

As a woman and as a fangirl, watching the Star Wars franchise feels like being invited, then disinvited to a party.

The Last Jedi : "Welcome to Star Wars !"

The Rise of Skywalker : "We're sorry to inform you that most of the previous storylines have been canceled, this movie is for dudes."

The Acolyte Season 1 : "Welcome to Star Wars !"

The Acolyte Season 2 : "We're sorry to inform you that the entire show has been canceled, please leave."

HAPPY FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO THE TROS FINNPOE HUG

[enkisstories]

Going through my trading cards, it struck me that if one has never watched this movie, going purely by the caption, Hux' distressed mimic and the fact that he keeps his hands on his back (or at least they are not shown), one might assume that both the Wookie and the human are captives at the moment.

And let's be real, the imperial officers' children were no less child soldiers than the abducted future stormtroopers. They get to give orders, but their parents made sure that they functioned as intended.

What led to the new headcanon that Chewbacca's growl in this scene translates to "Do you really think you are anything more than a prisoner yourself, dipshit?"
