I love how some fanboys have this idea of Star Wars being this gritty dystopia, devoid of stupid jokes. The guns go pew pew and the weapons are light sticks. A green muppet that isn’t Kermit taught Luke about religion. It’s not that serious, Greg.
Andor is the best show on TV. Best show I’ve seen in years. I do wish more people were talking about it but it will age like fine wine. Just breathtaking stuff week after week.
This moment right here, your honor. Werner Herzog discussing the cultural importance of Star Wars + specifically

in creating NEW mythologies.
The Last Jedi is my favorite Star Wars film by a long shot because of its meta-analysis, rich character dynamics, amazing cinematography, tight & extremely referential script, and surprise.
Hey, for real, I’m delighted about this video. It struck me: When was the last time you heard this answer? (An answer that isn’t rooted in the original trilogy?) I... don’t think I’ve ever heard this answer and I can’t describe how validating it is.
TLJ’s script was written before TFA came out and specifically followed up on several TFA points, JJ said he liked it a lot and JJ wasn’t attached to Episode 8 yet, JJ *produced TLJ* — this narrative really bugs me because it feels like it’s ripped from a YouTube headline
The ‘Star Wars’ universe is expanding—and, for the first time, Lucasfilm is lifting the secrecy surrounding its master plan. In V.F.’s June cover story, Anthony Breznican welcomes you back to a galaxy far, far away.

I’m clinging to hope for what comes next for Rey’s story. And in the visual dictionary — her books contain clues about the World Between Worlds. I am... so happy to see this.
Still kinda dying for the convo between Chewie and Rey when she jumps onboard after fighting Luke freakin' Skywalker and is like "Let's go, Chewie, we're leaving without him and going to the Supremacy so I can go talk to Kylo Ren." Is Chewie like, "Okay sure!?"
When Ludwig Göransson played The Mandalorian opening notes on a recorder and then took out an even larger recorder to play the notes slightly lower, I transcended into another dimension where there are just various recorders of all shapes and sizes
The Death Star fight is Good because they’re both so exhausted and they’ve both reached a breaking point of “why are we even doing this anymore” and are just swinging their lightsabers at each other to cover up the fact that they’re just mad & frustrated at themselves
Just went on TikTok for the first time in a while and I’m happy to report that somehow despite liking maybe 1 singular Star Wars post weeks ago, my entire feed is people living in their Adam Driver/Ben Solo feelings and god it’s glorious
Periodic reminder that the theme of The Last Jedi is NOT “Let The Past Die” but instead “how do you learn from the past to incorporate it into the future?”
I cannot stress this enough: if you don’t realize Padmé is legitimately a Social Justice Warrior, you DID NOT pay attention to 3 Star Wars films and a whole TV series.
Fandom: We can't let Reylos into this space. They're ruining it.
Reylos: Okay, we'll make our own space and see the movie we've been looking forward to together instead. We'll make our own safe space.
Fandom: No, you're still ruining it.
Make it make sense.
The “it’s like poetry, it rhymes” quote from George Lucas is also surprisingly useful when discussing current fandom: replace “sequels” with prequels and this has been happening for decades. Now with more sexism!
Don’t you just love how Reylo is canon, Rey wanted to be with Ben, they kissed, Rey’s unwavering belief in the goodness of Ben was his light in the end, Ben Solo was redeemed, his love saved Rey, and us Reylos live rent free in everyone’s brains? 😇🥰😘
Anyone else just constantly struggling to manage anxiety (tightness of chest, trouble breathing) about the virus (tightness of chest, trouble breathing) and is just constantly stuck in this vicious cycle?
“They sold you off for drinking money. They’re dead in a paupers grave in the Jakku desert.”
“I never lied to you, Rey.”
Make it make sense.

The best thing Star Wars did brand-wise in the past five years was implement the live streams for Celebrations and ramp up their YouTube channel with Rebels Recon and the Star Wars Show.
Imagine meeting a guy, understanding his past, present, and future, touching hands across the galaxy, murdering his evil boss together, breaking up with him, and then going to live with his mom you met one time
