ok so we know trailblazer travelled with the stellaron hunters before the story. they’re the ones that drop them off at the space station, silver wolf is really friendly with them, and blade outright says it in kafka’s companion mission.
so looking back, firefly’s reaction to seeing trailblazer for the “first” time makes a lot of sense
thats not some way you’d react to seeing a stranger yk… the surprise and then happiness and immediate familiarity makes way more sense now
and ofc theres these lines… we meet again, as always, as ever, etc…
i was looking at the last page of the dreamscape pass earlier. there’s a sticker about meeting her.
… and then there’s this one, too.
and its KILLING me. like ok. they were in love? and trailblazer had to have their memories wiped? it makes everything make more sense in retrospect and it also makes it hurttttt. and like i love that trope, person forgets everything but still has this seeimingly-unexplainable fondness towards their partner..
do you think seeing the person she loves again was part of those “great rewards” elio promised her.
can i just say it felt so fucking GOOD to have good, well-executed, fast-paced (!!) lightsaber fight choreography. the fights were exciting! each character had their own distinct style that matched their abilities and size! they were fast!!!!!! hands down the best saber fights we’ve seen in live-action sw in a long time.
imagine being an ensign aboard the uss enterprise and an alien lady steals your commander’s fucking brain. they took his brain out of his head and ran away with it. I would quit on the spot
