I think a need to start up a discord server again or something because all my moots are so scattered among so many different servers and whatnot now that i can’t keep up lmfao
I think everyone is getting way too comfortable using the phrase “biological man/woman”. I know you mean well, but please don’t let this term become normalised, that’s exactly what conservatives want.
I’ll be completely honest, I really don’t get the “jaded Star Wars fan” types.
If you hate 99% of the current output and are clearly not even willing to give any new projects a chance, why stay as an active participant in the fandom? What do you get out of it?
Remember when supplementary material had to invent a whole new TIE model because the Rise of Skywalker forgot that standard TIE Fighters didn’t have hyperdrives?
ALT A landed TIE Scout on Exegol

The TIE scout, also known as a scout-class TIE, was a starfighter variant of the TIE family of Imperial warships that was equipped with a hyperdrive and was used for reconnaissance missions. As with all space crafts of the Imperial Era-TIE line, the scout ship was manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems.
One functional TIE scout was present within the wreckage of the second Death Star on Kef Bir by the time of the Resistance's mission to Kef Bir, which took place long after the Death Star's destruction over Endor. It was used by the stranded Ben Solo to depart from the ocean moon and travel to the distant Sith world of Exegol in 35 ABY. There, the Jedi evaded the planet's chaotic atmosphere as he landed the space craft before the Sith Citadel with success, and made for the Sith Lord Darth Sidious on foot for a final confrontation.
While George Lucas's idea of balance in the Force was "when you go to the dark side [it] goes out of balance," #TheAcolyte showrunner Leslye Headland has a slightly different perspective saying "there is no light without darkness. No good without bad." ✨ bit.ly/3QhqEo7
I’m just convinced that there is nothing Star Wars can do to stop this notion that fans do everything better.
We had some of the best and most lightsaber fights ever put to screen literally last year and I’m still seeing no signs of these kinds of posts letting up.
Fun fact: Tony Gilroy wasn’t the only person involved in the making of Andor. I highly doubt that he knew who the fuck Erskin Semaj was prior to someone telling him.
The people that insist Tony Gilroy doesn’t care about the greater canon are funny, the guy included Erskin Semaj and made him a compelling character lol
“We don’t hate female characters, we just hate badly written female characters” mfs when they’re asked to name a single woman that they liked in a movie besides Ellen Ripley:
Miles Morales is nothing but a cheap diversity hire just so marvel can have a black Spider-Man instead of actually making any new heroes.
Now, why do YOU personally want him to be Spider-Man so badly?
Did you know that before seeing use in the Resistance, MG-100 StarFortress SF-17 Heavy Bombers were initially deployed to assist New Republic forces in laying waste to and capturing besieged Imperial holdouts?
Rule of cool strikes again. Like yeah, the worldbuilding surrounding the first Death Star is superior in every conceivable way, but the second Death Star has aura on its side.
There’s artificial gravity inside the ship, the bombs were launched while affected by said artificial gravity, the momentum carried into space. It’s not rocket science lmfao.
I’m sorry but if you feel comfortable calling Saw Gerrera a violent extremist and a barbaric terrorist, but not Luthen Rael the same thing, then I’ve got some news for you pal.
I do appreciate this from an artist’s perspective, the man has integrity and I respect that, but yeah I’m not gonna act like I’m not incredibly disappointed that I’ll just never get to own an offical Noelle plush 😔
Iirc didn’t a similar thing happen to the High Republic’s trailer? Why do Star Wars fans hate anything and everything new?
And don’t cope by saying “it looks bad”. I don’t recall trailers for shows like the Book of Boba Fett or Obi-Wan Kenobi receiving nearly this much flack.
Hotter take: I can’t stand most of the Old Republic designs. They do nothing new and only serve to reinforce the whole “design and technology never progress in the Star Wars galaxy” shtick.
If you were given the opportunity to change one aspect of Rey’s story or character, what would you change? The only rule is that you must keep things constructive and respectful.
Talking about the sequel trilogy in good faith is so damn difficult on this godforsaken app. It’s either 100% dogshit with no redeeming qualities whatsoever, or a misunderstood masterpiece that’ll be universally loved in a few short years. There’s never any room for nuance.
Wasn’t that scene shown to have been Ben’s misinterpretation of the situation later on in the film? TLJ Luke may not be the best, but at least be fair when critiquing him.
It’s in a similar vein to criticisms such as “why don’t force users just instantly go to crush each others windpipes?”
The just can’t. Leave it at that.
Y’know what? Fuck it. I hate the prophecy. It wasn’t so much as hinted at in the Original Trilogy, it makes any and all future stories revolving around the Dark Side inherently contradictory, and it morphs Anakin’s redemption arc into something it’s not.
Genuinely, what do people think saying “Uhm actually it’s Rey Palpatine, not Rey Skywalker” will achieve? Saying as much is not gonna change canon, no matter how badly they want it to.
