Happy #StarWarsVisions Vol. 3 Eve to all who celebrate! 🎊

Opinion: #BenSolo saving the woman he loves from death is NOT "finish[ing] what [Anakin] started", that's such a severe misunderstanding of Anakin's fall. Anakin didn't fall because he was unAble to save his wife from death, his fall was because he was unWilling to let her die, as was her fate. 1/7

How did Adam get my script of Rey traveling to the Netherworld of Unbeing ala Orpheus to take Ben back to the realm of the living, despite warnings from the mortis Father (Sir Ian McKellen) this is how the original Dyad unbalanced the Force? (Ben in the Netherworld theory in Alt text of these pics!)

@starwarsexplained.com is now officially more canon than I am! Genuinely though, I couldn't be happier about this, Alex and @molliedamon.bsky.social are lights in this fandom when all other lights go out. Always kind, passionate, fun, and brave, with keen and insightful analysis. Congratulations!💜

One of my favorite parts of the first game was Feinting my enemies; the game never tells you, but canceling your attack animation baits enemies into reacting. Now in #GhostOfYotei enemies can feint too, as this enemy seems to cancel a slash when Atsu rolls away, and then transitions to a thrust!

#TheMandalorianAndGrogu Now that we have another snowy planet (my favorite biome), they better not blow it up like the last two! (Assuming it's not Starkiller or Kimji, which are both still around in this era. They might be on a mission investigating the Imperial 'project' on Illum?)

Haven't seen anyone mention this yet, and it might prove to be a different creature, but this sure looks like a Greater Krayt Dragon to me! #TheMandalorianAndGrogu #KraytDragon #StarWars

Fight The Empire! Cancel your Disney+ today, and tell them why: The death of Truth is the ultimate victory of evil Freedom is a pure idea The Empire is a disease, never more alive than when we sleep Oppression is the mask of Fear The Monster who will come for us all soon enough is President Trump.

Remember when all the """fans""" pretended to suddenly care about Ki-Adi Mundi just because it was politically advantageous (hateful), when most of them didn't even know his name, and he wasn't even well-liked among his special group of hypocrites within his politically-entrenched religion?

In TLJ, Luke assumes Ben took "a handful" of his students. But we know from the Rise of Kylo Ren comics that Ben didn't take anyone. 3 Jedi chased after him, but they were already off-world when the Temple was destroyed, and 3 is not a handful, it's barely a few. So who *did* take Luke's students?

Also, as a choreographer it's some of the best storytelling through choreo I've seen. Bespin, Starkiller, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Princess Bride. The forest fight from The Acolyte Technical complexity, evolving dynamics, character expression, themes, historical techniques. It's all there

Obviously this is drills, not a choreographed fight scene with other combatants or direction, and should be taken with a grain of salt That being said, as someone who's done this for over 20 years, I think he's showing good skill and physical literacy, and that toss & catch flourish is very Ezra

Ghost of Yōtei thread! With the State of Play nearly upon us, I want to quickly type out some of my thoughts. Your regularly scheduled programming (Star Wars threads) will resume shortly, don't worry💜

I'm planning to go into more detail on this soon, but I definitely recommend my friend's thread on The Rise of Skywalker comic adaptation! Some really interesting details and cool additions here The one that everyone else is talking about ("all the Jedi") is one of the least consequential, honestly

What do you do when you lose all hope? You sing. Tolkien had the world sung into being, and so there is no greater prayer, no greater cry, no greater howl of defiance than a song that comes from the heart. Sam sings an old song from the Shire in a desolate waste, and so touches the divine.

'Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously, without instruction. The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. Even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. Tyranny requires constant effort. Authority is brittle. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.'

What a fucking hero Fight The Empire

Prominent and "indispensable" member of the Manipulate, Backstab, And Take Credit government now shocked and appalled that fellow fascist has manipulated and backstabbed him and took credit for his huge contribution to the Bypass Legality And Commit Genocide machine. Where have I seen this before.

✨"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.…there came a time of revolution, when rebels united to challenge a tyrannical empire."✨ Are you missing #Andor now that it's over? Here are 10 great books about the Empire's reign and the Rebellion's rise to keep your rebel spirit burning. 📚 (thread 🧵)

Pirates of the Caribbean is right next to Star Wars in terms of unsubtle anti-fascist films. The devil shows up but the true villain is the British Empire, who enslave the devil A union of racially diverse peoples from across the globe face impossible odds in a final stand against corporate tyranny

Happy Orthodox Star Wars Day.

#Battlefront2 reached a new peak player count today at 17,668 and counting, and that's just on Steam If you're a SW fan you owe it to yourself to play this unique and unparalleled experience of infantry, vehicles, lightsaber duels, and space battles, with some of the best game design I've ever seen

Hey I wrote that!

Happy 45th Birthday to The Empire Strikes Back!

#Telemachus, how long has it been since #StarWars Episode III #RevengeOfTheSith first released in theaters?

Happy 20th anniversary of #RevengeOfTheSith! To celebrate, I give you my translation of the ancient Chosen One Prophecy The Ɔ character represents a letter that's hard to differentiate between a U and an O in the original language Each line has many meanings, I'd love to see your interpretations!💜

Really cool thread, spoilers for #Andor! I love seeing all the details and effort and artistry that goes into making these props even if they never get screentime

#Andor The Ghorman Anthem shares its most prominent notes with a much older and iconic SW theme: Palpatine's "Val-ley! High-land!" E, C# E, C#, "Let [...] day there" [...] B [The Emperor's Theme transposed to same key] (C#,) E, C#, E, C#, B

After watching #Andor and witnessing Mon Mothma's epic speech, everyone should watch #Rebels season 3 episode 18 Secret Cargo Mothma's daring escape isn't over yet, it's barely begun! Mistrust & infighting continue as she faces prototype TIEs, cosmic phenomena, and even ISDs before her next speech

I love watching Alex rattle off Clone Wars morals and Yoda quotes like a pastor cites scripture The Empire needs us divided by any lines they can; race, sex, trans rights, immigration, etc, because we're stronger. Oppression is the Mask of Fear. The ruling class are afraid of us, and they should be

Since today is #RevengeOfTheSixth I thought it appropriate to examine the Sith ideology, but this time through a somewhat novel lens: A man with absolutely no Force sensitivity or affiliation with the Dark Side. What does "the quick and easy path" look like if you're not a sorcerer or dictator? 1/13

🎯 Could not agree more, Robert. Proof, once again, you are as wise as Obi-Wan! Many thanks for ALL that you do on a daily basis from your fan, Mar🐫

Andor s2 discourse . . . With the way the Doctor Gorst scene went, I anticipate the SA theme will come up again later :/ It already felt implied by that nightmare, and this show is clearly not pulling any punches as we see later. I hope I'm wrong. I want to see Bix healing

Space combat idea: Forced Movement missiles. Instead of delivering an explosive payload on contact, these rockets attach to the enemy ship and use their thrusters to push the ship in the user's desired direction For earthly fighter jets this would be pretty pointless, 1/2

Obviously this genius author is joking, but let's explore the idea Andor doesn't happen because Anakin loves Padmé, it happens because Anakin's love for Padmé is possessive. He wants to save her for his sake, not hers. That's why he betrays everything she fights for. He makes the selfish choice 1/3

Proud of my Canadian friends for learning from other nations' mistakes and voting against fascism!💜 Hoping for more progressive momentum in the next election, but for now stability will have to be enough. More than many other countries can claim right now! Glad to see Canadian values beat hate

A lot of talk thanks to #Andor about the Rebellion organizational capacity and what not. But i think one key element missing from the discussion is this. The alliance doesn't REALLY get organized until those with institutional power join the fight.

Luke's selfless love for his father and willingness to die rather than perpetuate the cycle of violence that gives Palpatine power is what ultimately destroys the Empire. Which is kind of the whole point of the entire story: be selfless and compassionate, don't be selfish or possessive. Andor, 1/2

#Andor season 2 episodes 1-3 were fantastic, as expected •Mon Mothma further cements her place as one of the best characters in SW🥹 •More Rakatan lore! •Luthen •That little girl playing with an AT-ST toy was absolutely chilling😬 •Dedra doing the right thing for the wrong reasons •ICE agents die🥰

YES YES! TO KEN NAPZOK YOU LISTEN #StarWars

I have a lot of thoughts and feelings to share on this, which I'll detail another time, but I really really appreciate this warning. We, the fandom, shouldn't be responsible for doing this, it should be Disney providing these warnings, and I'm grateful to those who do it anyway💜

CONTENT WARNING for #Andor I can't believe this is necessary for a Star Wars show. Andor Season 2 Episode 3 'Harvest' contains themes of sexual assault. It's that fucking easy, Disney. You don't have to say "trigger", you don't have to spoil the story, just warn us. You did it already with Kenobi.

Once you go to a Star Wars Celebration you have a different perspective on the fandom, and you’ll realize the fandom is much better in real life and conversations are much more civil.

It's that time again! Before we start another season of Andor I have to give a brief! update on my squadron designs lest something similar appears. These are just rough drafts, all aspects and especially colors are subject to change, many of them were only chosen to indicate material or weapon type.

I'm SO glad we're getting this instead of Patty Jenkins' American Air Force Propaganda film. 5 years after TROS should give us some insight into who the hell, if anyone, is running the galaxy now. I hope this is a non-Jedi story of moral complexity, maybe in an age devoid of centralized government.

Where is the "Anakin's choice to side with the devil" option? The whole story is about our *choices* to be selfish or selfless. Yes he was facing a stacked deck, Palpatine was a master manipulator and the Jedi handled things poorly, but Anakin still made the selfish choice The central theme of SW 1/

Trump is openly defying a unanimous Supreme Court ruling of 9-0, to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia from his unlawful imprisonment in El Salvador. He is lying that the unanimous ruling was 9-0 in His favor. Trump is also saying he plans to send "homegrown" (those born in the USA) to El Salvador too 1/6

Oooooh "There is no pain. There is only power." uses the "There is no ____" format of the Jedi Code, but the "There is only ____" from the Sith code, as well as its focus on Power. It feels like Ben's Jedi teachings corrupted with Snoke's Sith 'training' Kylo to endure pain and turn it into power.

My greatest hope for the Switch 2 direct today is they go "Imagine, if you could have the intuitive, immersive, and precise controls of 1:1 tracking VR controllers, with none of the motion sickness, or neck strain, or exorbitant cost, of a headset. Well now, you can!"

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural [...] The day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance, will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege" #Andor
