Hey, you. You’re valid for writing fanfiction. Someone has stayed up late reading your words on their phone with auto-rotate off. Someone has dropped everything when they got that update email. Your work has made someone happy and you do it *in your spare time*. You’re awesome.

In a weird way, the cancellation gives Oshamir one of the happiest SW canon romance endings. Anidala was a tragedy. HanLeia became one in the ST. Reylo had TROS. But Oshamir? They’re still holding hands and facing the world together. They made it out. And they’re ours now.

Commentary from a friend: “It’s almost embarrassing that they spent 3 movies trying to break Han Solo into two characters with Finn and Poe. And in less than 10 minutes Adam Driver effortlessly becomes the new Han Solo of this entire trilogy.” 1/2

@CultureCrave She’s right and she should say it. Studios need to stand behind their creators and performers instead of capitulating to the most toxic fans (who will never, ever be satisfied) and a handful of obnoxious YouTubers making bank off stoking fanboy rage.

Leslye Headland’s #TheAcolyte was flawed, but it expanded what #StarWars could be. Without big swings like that, it’s hard to know where the SW Universe can go without going back to remixing 30-year old stories. #RenewTheAcolyte #SaveTheAcolyte

You know what, Star Wars? Boys on the playground told me Star Wars wasn’t for me back in the 90s. You told me Star Wars wasn’t for me in 2019 when you undid everything TLJ did to make me feel otherwise. You just told me again today, and this time? I hear you loud and clear.

I’m not going to argue that Acolyte had good numbers; it didn’t. I’m not going to argue that it was good; that’s subjective. But the optics of DLF utterly failing to stand behind women/POC creators and actors in a SW project are hideous — and represent a disturbing pattern. 1/5

Redemption is easy. Atonement is messy, difficult, painful, and an arduous, continuous process. The problem with Western media narratives is that they prioritize punishment and vengeance instead of restorative justice. What do you do to make amends without that path forward?

What I’m getting from all of this is that JJ and Terrio just didn’t understand... anything. Why people relate to Ben. Why Reylo is popular. Why Star Wars is really about hope. Fuck, they don’t even understand why fanboys hated TLJ. What a fucking mess.

I hope they're at least taking note of the fact that there IS a desire for the story to continue.

Anyway Ben Solo is ours now, and he is safe with his wife in the Force, Rey of Jakku, to whom he is a doting househusband while she goes off on adventures with her friends Rose and Jannah, and he makes her dinner and eats her out like a champ every. single. night.

I don’t want a Rey story without Ben Solo. You’re literally giving me half a dyad. Deus ex machina up a Force Ghost, drive a dump truck full of money to Brooklyn Heights and beg Adam Driver to come back, I don’t care what you have to do, just FIX it or fuck off.

I really think Reylo is just a scapegoat at this point. No one hates a ship that much. They hate having women in their fandom that much. They hate shipping period that much. They hate people not shipping the “right” things the right ways that much. They hate themselves that much.
