Daaaaaaaaaamn! This was amazing and I got kind of tingly like I haven’t seen these movies 100 times. I didn’t get the tag notification but we all know how that goes. Thank you for thinking of me!
This should be a trailer for the next black panther movie. Like the one you get in the movie theatre about what’s happened on the road so far before the actual movie starts
This gave me chills give this man a editing job at marvel!
this is absolutely amazing
Wow this made me rethink the story, it’s a great piece of art as a film.
man you know what would be a really interesting story to write
there’s a force sensitive cadet in like – one of the earliest batches, like the alphas or command class or something. ( maybe it’s cody! maybe it’s a baby cody or ponds! ) and when i say cadet, i mean they’re like – 2, equiv 4, or so.
jango Hates the jedi. but he’s not stupid enough to not guess what decommission means, or why it’s being applied contemplatively as a solution to this four-year-old who’s just a little bit different in the wrong sort of way – and a part of him is also just curious.
dooku has his schemes, but jango hates him as well. ( he’s a practical man, and his hatred is much the same. he doesn’t hide it from dooku. they both remember galidraan. but he acts as if he’s moved past it. there is always the future for revenge. )
so a three-or-four year old equivalent age baby clone gets, like so many do, dropped off at the door to the jedi temple.
( there’s a bit of a murmur caused by it, if only for the fact that the man who brought the child was in full mando armor. the two groups have some history, to say the least, and the man is gone as soon as he came. )
and this is – eight years or so before the clone army will be discovered. so there’s just a young mando boy, brought into the creche and treated like all the other children, because they have no reason, really, to suspect he’s anything but. ( later, while doing check-ups on him, they discover that his growth is accelerated, but it’s just assumed he’s some-part nonhuman or something. )
they grow up in the jedi temple, and would in all likelihood be a padawan when everything is set into motion.
and then the clone army is discovered, and some old part of him remembers, remembers kamino and remembers thousands of brothers and remembers jango, even. he goes with yoda, when it comes time to pick his brothers up.
the question of are these men people no longer exists, because it is asked, once, briefly, and the – he’s not a cadet any more, if he had stayed, he would be one of them, the soldiers in armor on the field – levels burning gold eyes at the asker.
they are my brothers, he says, and that is the end of it.
A retelling of Finn and Rey’s Epic Reunion Hug™. Written for @finnreyfridays:
*
Rey hears fear resonating through the Force as soon as the Millennium Falcon enters Crait’s atmo. She reaches out and follows the threads of fear, telling Chewie where to go, until they see the source of the conflict: a battle, raging in front of a giant steel door.
On one side, Rey can feel the hatred and vitriol of Kylo Ren, and on the other – just beyond that door – the fear of a group of people who are trapped.
For a panicked moment, Rey doesn’t know what to do. Then she hears Finn’s voice in her head, cutting through the static.
Rey? Is that you? Are you really here?
I’m here, Rey sends, her heart leaping at the sound of Finn’s voice.
Cody had nine cups of coffee that morning, and was vibrating into the fourth dimension so he stopped listening after “execute order six-” order six, CANONICALLY, is “get rid of your communicator as fast as possible”. So that’s what Cody hears, and that’s what Cody relays to the GAR. So Palpatine executes his master stroke and six million clones just YEET their communicators and keep going about their business.
Honestly, give me a Star Wars movie that focuses on the politics. I wanna see the complexities of galactic government.
I wanna see senators giving impassioned speeches. I wanna see the inner workings of the Republic Senate at the peak of its power. Give me Teckla Minnau moments. I wanna see corrupt senators, devoted public figures, oblivious diplomats, incompetent chancellors.
I wanna see a senator actually negotiate aggressively.
The political arena of Star Wars is such a vast sea of opportunity for story telling, and honestly its one of the less explored plots/themes in the franchise. It’s also one of the things that fascinated me the most when I first saw SW. It’s why I love The Clone Wars so much.
So yeah, please just give me a movie/tv show about galactic senators senating.
Suppose the First Order could be stopped before it could even begin? Billions of lives saved, no need for a Resistance, a galaxy in relative peace, no children stolen from their families to be fed into the First Order’s war machine … Nice dream, huh? But through a twist of time, space, and the Force, Finn and Rey get a chance to make that dream a reality, traveling back to early on in the Clone Wars, where they go undercover as Jedi Knights on a mission to neutralize – by any means necessary – a junior officer of the Republic’s Grand Army named Brendol Hux …
11. who is the most underrated character? Mace Windu! As funny as the motherfucker jokes can be, because we all enjoy some fun Sam Jackson character jokes, I feel like sometimes we lose sight of who Mace really is beyond that. He’s not really what we think of as the typical SLJ character, he’s much more serious and controlled.
One of my favorite Mace things in canon was the Jedi of the Republic comic, because we got to see just how much he did indeed struggle with his righteous anger, at the way people were being hurt by Drooz, at the way the Jedi name was being abused by him, and that his burning feelings weren’t about being bad at all, but that he needed to learn to temper them, to control them, before they controlled him.
It’s a contrast against how he acted towards Prosset Dibs, who tried to murder him and Mace forgave him, gave him the most gentle punishment just about ever, and said that he was still valuable and they still wanted/needed him. You understood just how far he’d come, to temper that desire to help people that once drove him to anger because of their suffering, was now turned to compassion, to reaching out to them, to trying to help them.
Mace is someone who cares incredibly deeply, about the Jedi and about the Republic they serve, that he’s in a position with so much responsibility that he has a ton of weight on his shoulders, and it makes him really sympathetic.
THIS IS THE FACE OF SOMEONE WHO CARES SO DEEPLY:
He doesn’t go to arrest Palpatine because he hates that guy (no matter how much Mace clearly dislikes him for all the times he’s tried to object to things, like, no, we don’t want you to take one of our Padawans out solo, no, we don’t want to send Skywalker to Tatooine for a mission, and Palpatine just straight up PULLS RANK on him) but because he knows that this is the Sith Lord and he’s RIGHT that Palpatine controls the Senate and WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN A REASONABLE TRIAL. He does it because he cares enough to know that, even if it means he himself will be arrested for it (as Dave Filoni said), he’ll be saving the galaxy from a tyrant.
He can be very reserved at times, especially as the war drags on or when he’s responsible for really huge matters or when dealing with someone who clearly never really wanted to learn control of himself.
But he can also be incredibly kind and warm to children, as the Star Wars Adventure comic shows us.
Mace Windu loved his Jedi family and culture, he loved the Republic he served (in some ways, almost too much, that he was willing to sacrifice himself for it, long beyond when he maybe shouldn’t have), and he worked really hard to get his shit together.
When he doesn’t understand someone else’s language, “emotion is our shared tongue” is his response. When someone betrays him or attacks him, he works to forgive them because that’s the best way to move forward and not drag himself down as well.
