okay but imagine on the falcon one day Han drops something and goes “son of a Sith” and then Luke pops up out of nowhere and goes “you rang?”

Star Wars needs more space traffic.
Imagine:
-Swarms of private vessels descending on a planet for its annual Holo-Con, featuring five hundred different celebrities, special announcements and reveals, and costume contests for all your favorite Holo Heroes
-Interstellar rock bands followed by their groupies in giant trailer-ships
-Mile-long carriers loaded with ships the size of warehouses that deploy to every major city on a planet to drop off supplies that will be shuttled to Space Rite-Aids all across the cities
-Spaceborne farmer’s markets that grow certified space-organic products–no chemicals from factories or pesticides to repel vermin, just the purity of deep space (warning: they all taste like cardboard, but don’t tell the trendies)
-Food truck ships that flit from spaceport to spaceport, selling greasy foods and overpriced drinks
-Armored space trucks loaded with cash, escorted by gun-laden cruisers as they approach their destination
-Mobile homes, or maybe just big freighters with the words “WIDE LOAD” stamped on the back
-Loudly colored spacehogs tearing down toward the atmosphere, each one piloted by gruff-looking humans and tattooed aliens with black leather jackets
-That Imperial Wares truck that every family always sees at least one of on their vacation in their space minivan
-Lumbering construction vessels making their way far too slowly between the planet and its moon
It’s a giant galaxy, give me all the mundanity.
Oh fuck. You just put into words what I’ve been thinking since SW VII was announced. D:
I mean, I’ve literally been told that the PT, TCW, and Rebels are not real Star Wars, whatever the hell that means.
I’m sure there’s a way to sell TFA and the current line-up – Rebels included, yes – without badmouthing the PT/the PT era at every turn, but apparently Lucasfilm hasn’t realized they’re actually alienating a major part of their established fanbase.
Is it Lucasfilm or Disney doing that? Because I was under the impression Lucasfilm stood by the prequels mostly, it’s more the fandom/Disney that does not.
I doubt that anyone’s doing it as policy, but it comes up all the time in casual comments – there was one in like the first five minutes of the TFA panel at SWCA, I’ve seen it in interviews, etc. In this particular case my rant was touched off by something in one of Club Jade’s twitter roundups, but I go off on it every month or so and this one was building for a while due to various Rebels rumors.
And honestly, even if it’s not being done deliberately? It’s how it feels to me as a PT-era fan.
Huh. I have not really been paying attention to the TFA hype, because I don’t want to go in expecting anything. But if the cast and everyone is doing it? That’s pretty damn awful, because you can’t write off half (or more than, given TCW being canon!) of the canon era or the history.
It is pretty aggravating when people look at you like you’re bonkers for liking the prequels. I’ve encountered that IRL too. (Guess I’m just too used to this Tumblr fandom group to be exposed to it much)
It’s not just TFA – one of the questions that always comes up with the artists for the comics is “how are you designing new alien creatures?” And fairly regularly the answer is “nothing that couldn’t be done without prosthetics! don’t want to make it look like too much CGI is being used! nothing with mo-cap!” Dude. You are drawing. With pencils. In a sketchbook.
so caza and I watched the Jedi training academy over at Disneyland and had a conversation that inspired this
Incidentally the most common criticism I’ve received from publishers of childrens’ books is that my writing is not age appropriate
Darth Vader gives quality (punny) financial advice.

Happy May the Fourth! A little late but here’s Luminara Unduli. Her headdress is a little deflated and I’m not sure what’s going on with her nose but it’s the thought that counts.
You know you had a Catholic upbringing when somebody says “May the force be with you” and your instant reaction is to reply with “And also with you”.
Lift up your lightsabers.
We lift them up to the lord.
Let us give thanks to the Force our guide.
It is right to give the Force thanks and praise.
I keep having weird thoughts about what a Palpatine and Leia conversation would be like (NOOO KEEP HER AWAY.) I feel like he would take insane pleasure in telling her how there are probably no two individuals more responsible for the creation of the Empire than her biological parents. Her adopted dad helped too, of course!
Palpatine is so great at lying but somehow his biggest coups are when he doesn’t have to
Think of all the holos he has of Anakin and Padme, just from random events he organized. He’d slip a note to the DJ and then suddenly there’s a call for all the Jedi who are Heroes of Naboo and all the former Queens of Naboo to come to the dance floor for a special song.
Leia fumes as she watches her parents slow dancing and pretending not to feel each other up.
HOW IS THAT SO SWEET BUT SO HORRIBLE
Leia’s sense of self-indentity is shattered to the GFFA equivalent of “Lady in Red”
