Simultaneously loving the Star Wars Sequels (my issues with TROS notwithstanding) and also thinking that they should’ve faithfully followed Lucas’s treatments and development for them instead. It’s possible. Not a contradiction!

Kaoru Wada’s Symphony from Paradis next year is going to save my life

Because it’s actually really good and interesting

Wake Up Dead Man. Simply amazing. Love it.

Leslye’s point that studios took online voices too seriously, made right before Twitter revealed all those annoying maga conservative accounts were bots outside of the United States, shows just how much she knows about online culture.

Or here’s an idea: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. You know, how they’re clearly labeled?

One Piece is the best show ever

AHEM *taps sign* #TheHuntForBenSolo

There are more of us, Poe.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

This film will probably be the worst of the saga forevermore. There's no fixing it or retconning it. But despite that, there's still ways to put a band-aid on the wound. Y'know what I'm about to say? Greenlight The Hunt For Ben Solo #TheHuntForBenSolo

just thought about how he owns nothing in the world but that leaf and he gave it to HER 😭 I’M FINE

I'm both laughing 🤣 and crying 😭 at this! #thehuntforbensolo

Most pushback I've seen on #TheHuntforBenSolo has been that it would lessen his sacrifice. Which, how? Genuinely, how does it lessen the act of selflessness? Are you saying being good only counts if you suffer? Like what are you saying? #starwars #bensolo

This scene is not looked at closely enough by people I think. As Han shows his son continued unconditional love even as he has just been pierced by his blade, Ben for a moment looks remorseful over what he has just done. That’s the incredible thing that happens here.

“The characters make illogical choices” you mean like humans?

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

More Reylo merch - new Rey and Kylo Ren pins and their lightsabers at the Disney Store New York City #TheHuntForBenSolo

For all the flaws of the sequel trilogy and Star Wars, I still have deep, deep affection for "What if we had a guy who was trying to be Darth Vader and was just...really bad at it"

Basically I think TLJ rewards you for paying attention in TFA and TROS punishes you for paying attention in TLJ

Something I also want to say is that I wrote a “what happens next” little one-shot fic while TFA was still in theaters where Luke’s first words to Rey were “No,” and he handed the lightsaber back to her and walked away. It seemed obvious! Idk if I can find it.

I was a 2015 Reylo but I was fully prepared at that time for them to turn out to be siblings because I expected them to write the more predictable thing. I was delighted when TLJ leaned into them being totally unrelated and built up their relationship to potentially be romantic!

I AM GOING TO SCREAM - it was CHEAP and beautiful www.forbes.com/sites/caroli...

this is how Solo 2 can still happen--

the forbes article about how "willow" was (relatively) cheap makes me think another point going on here is lucasfilm spending years as the d+ show production company, then when they had an internal film they wanted to make, the suits didn't allow it. rule of "one for them, one for me" broken.

suddenly it’s “star wars fans”

Maybe we should start our search here #TheHuntforBenSolo

Saw someone on the other place pull the old "ugh they payed for a billboard, why didn't they raise funds" And when people replied that we did, with links to the fundraiser... they blocked them. Like way to show it's all performative for you. #TheHuntforBenSolo

I see people try to say that Ben Solo returning to the light was some sort of like last minute addition to the story that was never planned but no, this is from the very first draft of IX that leaked. He always returned to the light. His story was NEVER meant to end with him still in darkness.

I will always say that as much as I will always fundamentally disagree with many of the choices made in TROS…it would have been much more acceptable to me if it was never meant to be the final chapter of the story. It just isn’t a satisfying ending to Star Wars.

Agreeing with @wtforce.bsky.social on a post they made on Twitter. The fact Adam says they "didn't see how he was alive" does imply he wasn't resurrected. He's just somewhere out there. Like Ezra... poetry.

SAY IIIIIIIIIIIIIT #TheHuntForBenSolo

Give me a chance. #TheHuntForBenSolo #savethehuntforbensolo #bensololives

Yall we got a variety article 🫶🦋 also, love that the author’s name is Leia lol variety.com/2025/film/ne...

I’ve been back on my 2020 bs: brainstorming my ideal episode IX to write as a fic. I will probably never write it because I never find myself able to commit to anything longer than a short story when I write, but it would be very fun (not to mention cathartic) if I did.

Legit. Many people suspected over the last few years Iger was the reason we were getting slop shit from Lucasfilm but it is amazing having confirmation of bot only that but how hard Kathleen Kennedy is fighting for the creatives working under her.

Props to the Reylos for always being right. Y’all have been calling it what it is since The Force Awakens

What really makes me extra mad about that TROS scene where Luke lifts up the X-Wing for Rey is that we know it is inspired by a DOTF draft where Rey lifts the Falcon out of ice on her own. That means they went *out of their way* to change it to Luke doing it for her.

Iger also hated "Lost" until it got popular and fired its champion Lloyd Braun, and Susan Lyne who was behind "Desperate Housewives" because they kept clashing.

This guy? Really???

This whole article is wild because all it talks about is Iger's wounded ego and feeling disrespected by his patriarch figure, Eisner.

Alexa, play Aespa's 'Drama'.

if reylos got paid as much by disney and had as much power as everyone is always accusing us of, we’d already be 2 movies into the Rian Johnson Reylo Trilogy 😂

quick how do we get the money hungry YouTube grifters to push revisionism with the acolyte too

crazy work, adam’s angel and demon on the yt thumbnails this week

No but seriously this is the funniest outcome ever, a decade of trashing her and thumbnails of her as evil robots. Now suddenly... just hahaha
