#star wars legends spoilers

[stealingpotatoes]

Lol, you said you did not know much about Legends 1 time and now everyone is telling you everything.

Also, Anakin Solo dies, Jacen Solo turns to the dark side after being tortured for a year and his sister, Jaina Solo, is forced to kill him.

i mean it's a lot better than people asking me about legends characters idk anything about loll

and I LEARNT ABT THAT THIS MORNING @leiadyke was talkin abt it in the luke skywalker discord and like??? legends can have rights actually, the last bit made me go a Tad Insane

[mylittlepooka]

I used to laugh about old women talking to their tvs, but now I get it. Sometimes a fictional character is being dumb and needs to be yelled at. Because that's NOT how people work Jacen!

What the official Star Wars TikTok just posted:

then the audio😭

WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE RAAHHHH🤬🤬🤬

They know what they’re doing n it’s pissing me tf off😤😤

(I’m joking - felt the need to clarify that lol)

.

Anyways

Happy tech Tuesday but fuck you Disney ❤️

[mearchy]

Is anyone else just in complete bafflement and wonder at Andor being actually greenlit by Disney those assholes in the corporate office? CANON lesbian representation, overt allusions to in-universe racialization of characters (Diego Luna is described as a man with dark features in the police APB and it actively contributes to his experience in the universe!!), police brutality and criticism of the police state spelled out in the most painstaking terms possible, and the Empire!!! People have already talked about how scary the TIE fighters are allowed to be. The Empire isn’t cute. It’s terrifying and it’s run by real humans committing atrocities, not just monsters and faceless soldiers and comic relief incompetents. Again and again I feel like I’m seeing things that have never been allowed to feel so raw and real in mainline SW, if they were present at all. And the fact that every other aspect of the show is on point, that no sacrifices in story or characterization or worldbuilding or cinematography or production value were made in the process — I don’t even have words. Idk what the general sentiment of the Star Wars fandom is, I haven’t been paying attention. But if Andor has only ten fans I am one of them. If Andor has only one fan it is me. If the entire world is against Andor I am against the world.

seeing thrawn’s cold calculations in live action is even more terrifying but man was nearly shaking in his boots at the mere mention of anakin skywalker

*After doing something illegal*

Crosshair: You good?

Jinx & Wynnie: Uh-huh.

Crosshair: Got all your stuff?

Jinx with all her gear: Yep.

Crosshair: You sure you can carry all those stolen goods?

Jinx & Wynnie: Yes.

Crosshair: Good. Stay close.

Wynnie: You’re as bad as Bellatrix.

Crosshair: Oh, I'm much worse.

[a-heart-of-kyber]

I think Qimir's overall plan has been to draw out Vernestra to pit her against Plagueis so he can escape.

[celestial-specter]

So… I know we’re all excited about the prospect of Crosshair reuniting with the batch, but… is anyone else concerned about how much we have been shown of his return in the new trailer? I’ve been thinking this all seems too good to be true, and am thinking the writers are about to send a curveball our way. So, I propose a theory…

In star wars legends, Mount Tantiss was used as a base of operations for a multitude of imperial activities, including the creation of the clone Luuke Skywalker. The method to create this clone involved the use of Spaarti Cylinders. As Luuke was cloned from his severed hand, his clone was grown in less than a month.

However, it has also been noted that even without a body part, a full adult clone could be grown in just one year.

This lines up with the many theories floating around that both Crosshair and Omega, or at least Crosshair, have been kept in Mount Tantiss for approximately one year. Omega’s hair growth and Hunter’s comments about Omega waiting for a ‘long time’, suggest it has been at least several months.

As we see in the trailer, there are several clips showing Crosshair with Hunter and Wrecker, suggesting that he reunites with his brothers reasonably early in the series. However, we also see a crashed ship with what seems to be Crosshair and Omega escaping the wreckage, which suggests they escape together.

Additionally, the empire has been searching to capture Omega since the start of the show, and yet, they did not show much interest in any of the other members of the batch. When he first arrives on Mount Tantiss, Crosshair is tortured to reveal Omega’s location. So, once Omega is brought to Mount Tantiss, what more use does the empire have for Crosshair?

Therefore, with all of this preexisting lore, I believe it is more likely that some of the clips of Crosshair shown in the trailer are actually of a Crosshair-clone, who has been sent to infiltrate the batch (and possibly the larger clone rebellion).

Interestingly, one of the signs a clone was created using the Spaarti cylinders rather than the Kaminoan cloning procedures is poor marksmanship. As this is Crosshair’s main enhancement and a point of pride for him, could this be how Hunter and Wrecker realize the Crosshair with them is not truly their brother?

Whether this turns out to be accurate or not, it is interesting to see how far the writers will go to incorporate the legends stories involving Mount Tantiss this season.

Currently thinking about rebuild the galaxy

I don’t care if he’s a little plastic toy, I would do anything to see what a happy -not evil- Darth Vader would act like

Also these photos are cracking me up:

Star Wars work hard, Star Wars fans work harder

Writer tag game

I wasn’t tagged, but I saw the game randomly posted by another user so I want to play anyway! (red for fic links and blue for series links)

1. how many works do you have on AO3?

35 (and only one draft because I don't really like working on multiple projects at the same time)

2. what's your total AO3 word count?

395,306

3. what fandoms do you write for?

I write the most for Batfam, mostly Tim and Jason but usually, the whole fam (more or less) is also there.

I write a bit more for some other fandoms but there are only one or two fics for each (2021 Produce 101 - Chuang Zao Ying, Hollywood Undead (but these fics are not finished), Julie and The Phantoms (1 fic - finished), Arsenal Military Academy + The Legends (they are kinda connected in 1 fic) and I have like, one translation project too.

I'm hoping to write Star Wars fics one day too. Really like the whole time travel thing and Obi-Wan is my beloved.

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Monster Under My Bed (The Monster Down The Hall)

"Back Away From Him."

if i lose everything in the fire, i'm sending all my love to you

Cold

A Pile of Sleeping Birds

5. do you respond to comments?

All of the comments, definitely. I really enjoy reading and replying to them and sometimes, I even come back to re-read the comments to feel validated 🤣

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I write angst a lot but I have a thing for happy endings. But if I look at the fics individually and not like, as a part of a bigger series, it might be i have so much to say but you're so far away. But if not just the ending but the whole plot in general, it can be any fic really (I would recommend Restless Heart Syndrome, And Now You're Home, The Monster Under My Bed (The Monster Down The Hall), and What The Heart Remembers).

7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

They all have some sort of happy endings (though some fics that are a part of a series might not but the series will have happy endings). But since all I have talked about is Batfam, I would recommend this from Julie and the Phantoms. I don't write romance often, but this is just a short soft, cute love story of two ghosts (Reggie and an OC based on his real-life wife) plus some humour in the band - ‘Cause I’m Not Too Far And You’re My Favorite Place. I was very satisfied with how it turned out and I still come back to re-read for my own enjoyment a few times so I hope you guys will give it a chance.

8. do you get hate on fics?

My most controversial fic would be Hold Me Close, Don't Let Go (Watch Me Burn) but it's not like people showed hate to me. They just didn't like the story and how I wrote it so there were some unpleasant comments. The newest one, I think I did well with my response. It's a rather heavy fic because I went through a really rough time when I was writing it (along with many others) so if you want to read it, be careful.

9. do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I don't. My fics are all rated G or T (mostly because of swearing and violence, and also some with suicidal theme or idealisation because I did have a really bad time).

10. do you write crossovers?

Just for two fandoms, Arsenal Military Academy & The Legends, because they share the same lead actor and actress so I thought it would be fun to write something about reincarnation. It's Then and Now, Forever and Always.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think I'm famous enough for that.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, into Chinese, actually. It's The Monster Under My Bed (The Monster Down The Hall). The link to the translated fic is in the fic.

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Not really. I planned my current series How To Steal A Brother with my friend Den and she is also my beta-reader for this series but I still write all of the stuff, which she reads and corrects the mistakes for me later.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

That's hard to choose. I really like Robin (Dick Grayson) and Starfire. It was like my first ship ever because I watched Teen Titans as a child. I also like Marinette/Adrien, very cute but the secondhand embarrassment is not very healthy for me (at least she has gotten better at interacting with him). The Doctor (10th) and Rose was one heartbreak that got me crying like a baby in 8th grade.

So honestly, I don't think I can pick because those were the three that came to my mind first, but I still have like a few dozen left.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

The Hollywood Undead fic - When Gravity Pulls You In. It was a really fun idea but then I ran into a big writer's block and I haven't recovered for this fic. I have been writing for Batfam again but I doubt I can go back and finish this one (at least anytime soon).

16. What are your writing strengths?

I don't think I'm too good with dialogue but I do have a strength in describing and like some sort of metaphor (English is not my first language so this is a difficult question to answer). I don't know if this is also considered a strength but like I said, I don't really write many fics at the same time so I can manage them pretty well. Most of my fics are completed before I move on to another one.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue. And I forget a lot of stuff so I have to go back to the earlier part so the plot won't be inconsistent. And of course, I write in English, which is not my mother tongue, so sometimes, I lack vocabulary or my grammar can feel weird.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I mean, I would add translation or explanation very subtly in there. But I saw a Star Wars fic where the writer had like, floating texts or something for the conversations in Mando'a so like, I will research on that if I need to write in another language.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Batfam. Tim-centric.

20. Favourite fic you've written?

Damn, that's like asking a parent for their fav child on national television.

In terms of like, wording and metaphors and descriptions and all the technical stuff - And Now You're Home - because some of my fav paragraphs are in here. In terms of logic, time can never change for the flying bird under the summer sun because I went crazy with all the planning for the whole time-travel-but-nothing-changes-the-future thing. In terms of plot, i'm so out of touch with everyone, and everything's a blur to me. This was one of my earlier ones but when I came back to this earlier this year, I found it so enjoyable and fascinated. I couldn't even believe I wrote this one. But it is a part of a series so you might want to check out I've Got You Brother.

This has been fun and I have been shamelessly PR-ing my fics. I don't really know who to tag so anyone else who wants to play, go ahead and have fun!

[short-wooloo]

Because Ventress is probably in tomorrow's BB episode and because I've seen some posts where people wail about "not respecting the eu", retconning the books, canon is meaningless, blah blah blah etc, I think it's time to remind people of an important fact:

(Say it with me kids)

The EU is not canon to the movies and shows

This is not new

This isn't even a disney thing

This is how it's always been, since the days of Lucas

The movies and shows do not have to follow the books/eu, but the eu must follow the movies/shows

If there's a contradiction, the higher canon material-a show or movie-wins out

EU is only "canon" so long as real canon doesn't say otherwise

For example: Ventress died in a book, and for years nothing said otherwise, but crucially, no show or movie has said "Ventress is dead", ergo while she was dead in the eu, as far as canon was concerned, Ventress is still out there

From there, Lo and behold The Bad Batch in March 2024

[adh-d2]

They did it! They kept Darth Plagueis a Muun!

[andorsnewhope]

Mon Mothma straight up refusing to wed her 13-year-old daughter to a stranger because she knows what it’s like to be forced into a loveless, arranged marriage at a young age. Mon Mothma saying “what makes you think I approve of that tradition?” aka her giving a big fuck you to heteronormative Chandrilan marriage traditions. Mon Mothma immediately shutting down such negotiations and her “I’m not thinking about it.” Mon Mothma putting Leida’s agency over the needs of the rebellion. Mon Mothma being a mother first over being a senator resistance leader. Yeah, I just love it when Mon Mothma.
