Someone over on Facebook was asking cosplayers about their first and and most recent costumes, and I'm particularly entertained by the side-by-side of mine. 2010-ish to 2024 and a lot has changed, but I have always been 100% committed to The Bit.

(Technically the duct tape Jedi was a Halloween costume, but it was the first one I ever made by myself, and makes for a pretty delightful comparison.)

stan this isnt the time

Ford this isnt the time

can someone explain the pronunciation joke please? I am 100% lost

A lot of people pronounce Han in Han Solo like "Hand" without the D, but it's correctly pronounced to rhyme with Jon because this is English and vowels don't matter. Stan argues that if it's "Hon" then his own name should be pronounced "Ston".

.... But he's never once called "Hon Solo" by anyone in the films?????

I probably didn't do a great job of spelling the two pronunciations phonetically. Here's a good video demonstrating the discrepancy I'm talking about.

he is called "Hon" entirely up until the first time Lando says his name as "Han" about 2 minutes in, which is when some characters start switching to Han as well.

Those who have seen both Star Wars and Stargate SG-1, time to ask the Important Question™

Please reblog for visibility and a bigger sample size, I need answers so I can die in peace

This result is so fuckin funny

Happy Star Wars Day!

I went insane with this Metal Bikini Han Solo collage last month >:o) I’ve doodled him in the infamous metal bikini in the past, but decided it was time I dedicate myself to a real quality illustration of it. Enjoy! Lol

For the Star Wars Day (May the Fourth / May the Force Be With You) there was shared (with the permission of the Pratchett Estate ) a Terry Pratchett story from the Star Wars Universe that was only published in a newspaper 45 years ago! Very excited to read a new Terry's piece! :)❤ (tweet)

Also, Terry Pratchett writing fanfiction 45 years ago, can I hear a wahoo? :)

Luke was an invasive species in the tatooine ecosystem if you think about it, like he grew up in a space deathworld full of bounty hunters and slavers and this pansy boy was like ugh.... this place is so boring.. nothing to do... what do you MEAN you moisture boy sandstorms come in once a month there's the constant danger of tusken raiders jabba tries to raise the water tax every other week there's a fight in the marketplace every single day, what do you MEAN its boring

He shot womprats in his spare time and he was like oh.. so boring.. so bland :((( meanwhile the womprats are feral creatures the size of a wolf that can bite your head off, he threaded the needle with his skyhopper in breakneck speed and he was like :] fun and wacky activities to do with your friends,, seriously it's no wonder that he took all the wacky jedi stuff in stride because that's literally what's normal for him. Insane stuff happening all around him is just another Taungsday, he did shit like this every day after his chores were done on Tatooine. As a jedi he's like oh golly gee! Another beautiful day of smashing stuff and raising hell! His head is full of flowers. But those flowers are carnivorous and also insane

people are always like “oh I want Leia and Padmé to meet they have so much in common” but let’s be honest if Leia ‘I’d Stab Him Without a Second Thought’ met Padmé ‘I Can Fix Him’ Amidala there would DEFINITELY be blood

Luke and Padmé: there’s still good in him!

Leia, cocking her gun: not enough

honestly though can you imagine Leia ‘if he wants me that badly he can damn well get better himself’ Organa meeting Padmé ‘I’m sure with my love and encouragement he won’t kill kids (again)’ Amidala? ten to one Leia spends five minutes with her and starts dreaming of knocking her teeth out

#Leia and Padmé are SO similar on the surface in that they’re both well-dressed principled politicians#but the truth of the matter is that Padmé is a lot less principled than she thinks she is#and Leia is a lot less empathetic then she could be#and it all comes out to them having totally diametrically opposed opinions on things

You’re right and you should say it

LIVE SLUG REACTION???!!

YOU'RE KIDDING ME THE SLUG IS GAY??????

When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.

You go and get her. I’ll hold them here.

“This holiday is yours, where we all share with you the hope that this day brings us closer to freedom and to harmony and to peace. No matter how different we appear, we're all the same in our struggle against the powers of evil and darkness. I hope that this day will always be a day of joy, in which we can reconfirm our dedication and our courage. And more than anything else, our love for one another. This is the promise of the Tree of Life.”

I have been watching A New Hope since I mentioned star wars yesterday and it is like seeing an old friend

Specifically, it's a recording of a TV showing from 1987, so it still has ads on it. The funny thing is they don't really annoy me so much since they're so different from ads we have now

oh, here

it only plays in the left ear
