Wibbly-Wobbly Ramblings

Well, THEM

carrying your fail jedi home from the cringe war

obi-wan is potentially canonically bisexual + on the aroace spectrum in a new upcoming novel and i'm happy about it

“chancellor palpatine, sith lords are our speciality.” funniest fucking line in star wars history. obi-wan, who has never killed a sith and knows he has never killed a sith, talking about himself and a guy who is going to become a sith lord within half a week, and speaking directly to the sith lord who is going to make that guy a sith lord, with FULL fucking confidence: “sith lords are our speciality.” he says this to palpatine’s face. to his face. to darth sidious’ face. in the most condescending fucking voice. completely unaware that he is speaking directly to the sith lord, to THE sith lord, who before the week is out is going to directly fuck over his entire life’s work and everything he loves and believes in: “sith lords are our speciality.” could you be any more cringefail. actually palpatine deserved his whole victory for not bursting into laughter then and there

i cannot emphasise enough that there is exactly sixty seconds between him saying this and him getting knocked fully unconscious. by a sith lord.

The sad man hour is actually really funny to me

Rewatching episode 3 and I caught Tala’s little smile to the loading droid.

And now I’m thinking about the difference between Leia and Tala’s “What if they have something to say?” “Actions speak louder than words.” versus the troopers’ “It’s just a loader. It doesn’t understand.”

Leia and Tala recognize the droid as a thinking being, who has their own way of expressing themselves, while the Empire recognizes them only as a machine, incapable of understanding.

But we see the loader interact; they look down at Lola when they’re introduced, they shows them into the back room, they ready a hammer when the stormtroopers search.

Just… those few lines say SO MUCH about the people speaking, about the way Leia and the young Rebellion and the Empire see those beings considered ‘lesser’. It’s Leia saying “Thank you” to the droid in episode 1 and the asshole cousin telling her, not in so many words, that that’s stupid. It’s how Obi-Wan carefully fixes Lola just because he can.

It’s the humanity of it all.

Todo pasa y todo queda Pero lo nuestro es pasar Pasar haciendo caminos Caminos sobre la mar (…)

 Caminante, son tus huellas el camino y nada más; Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Al andar se hace el camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. Caminante no hay camino sino estelas en la mar.

-Antonio Machado-

There’s just one thing I want from the Kenobi show. And it isn’t even gay this time.

I just want lots of crazy action to happen in close proximity to Luke. And him be completely oblivious to it. Obi-Wan crash-lands an x-wing in the Dune Sea and Luke walks past it staring at a datapad like “Hey Ben.”

Obi-Wan duels three Inquisitors at the same time on a mountain top and Luke’s just doing his chores in the background like “Wow, what a boring planet. Oh, look at that. More sand.”

This shouldn’t be as funny as it is to me!
