Maul went from being the leader of Crimson Dawn at the end of Solo to a hermit on Malachor in Rebels. There’s a story there and someone needs to tell it
Just a reminder that it’s possible to both appreciate what Filoni has given to Star Wars while also being disappointed with how he’s whitewashed characters, stereotyped religious minorities, and erased queerness in his storytelling
My take on the “you don’t need to watch Rebels before Ahsoka” thing
a) she’s promoting and doesn’t want to turn away potential viewers
b) it’ll still get people to watch Rebels at some point, either before it airs or after. That’s how all new Star Wars works
c) watch Rebels
I’m in no way trying to downplay his legendary work in CGI. He clearly loves it and we have been rewarded by it. I’m just in awe of his performance in Andor
Aside from the Eye,
#Andor
the Announcement is my favorite episode so far. It was still serious, but sprinkled in more Star Warsy things like droids, aliens, and comic relief that I feel has been missing. Plus THAT character showing up in that way was *chef’s kiss*
I’m gonna tell my therapist “I've given up all chance at inner peace. I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts” and see what he does with that
Really disheartened over how EK Johnson is responding to valid criticism around Islamophobia in her writing from Muslim fans. Despite her claiming she is “ignoring trolls,” blocking Muslim fans, making a post about it, & hiding responses doubles down on her bigotry (1/4)

If Dooku had a credit for every time he defeated one of Yoda/Yaddle’s species in a lightsaber duel, he’d have 2 credits. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Therapist here! This is a huge red flag. That’s the therapist trying to force some idyllic fantasy. Sometimes therapy is helping people set boundaries with family
Just finished Shadow of the Sith. Wow. I love when new Star Wars gives me a deeper appreciation for old Star Wars. Watching the sequels will be a new experience now. Like the Jedi/Sith relics in the story, this book is packed with lore from every era & medium. It’s a must read
Grand Inquisitor headcanon
Pau’ans can live up to 700 years old. In my hc, as they age their skull elongates & the lines on their head/face get more prominent. Quizzy was a young adult Pau’an. That’s why he looked different in Rebels & never looked the same as old Tion Medon
I’m only through chapter 12 of Shadow of the Sith and so far…
Sequel fans = winning
Prequel fans = winning
OT fans = winning
Clone Wars fans = winning
Mandalorian fans = winning
Comics fans = winning
Fandoms wouldn’t be so toxic if people learned how to use “I statements.”
“I didn’t like this movie” vs “this movie is trash!”
“I really enjoyed the EU and wish Legends were canon” vs “EU rules, Disney drools!”
“I think Anakin is hot” vs “IF YOU DONT GET HORNY FOR ANI DIE!!”
Well my 8 yo said “Father, upon entry to the theatre I was filled with jubilation. Hitherto, I grow restless as I withstand the sensation to relieve my bladder of the large soda I consumed. However, I would be remiss if I was absent during this scene. It is quite the conundrum.”
Took the kids to the movies today to watch a Disney cartoon called “Strange World”.
Within 10 minutes of the movie, my 10 year old son said “Dad, I have no desire to watch this movie. Can we leave?”
We left.
