Star Wars Pilots Tournament - Round 3
Who's the better pilot?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda:
Hera Syndulla:
she's my mom and i love her
She’s the best pilot hands down. Her and Han literally have beef and he knows she’s better 💕
the amount of times she escaped from the empire is insane. she’s also a general!! and was able to fly ships successfully on planets with weird gravity!!
i dont remember the names of the eps but the entire B-wing episode And that time she outflew Darth "the greastest star pilot in the galaxy" Vader with him in his nice little maneuverable modified TIE and her in a /FRIEGHTER/. Hera best Star Wars Pilot of all time
One of the foundational members of the Rebel Alliance, leader of Phoenix Squadron, Hera's skills as a pilot has saved countless lives, not to mention getting her crew and family out of tight spaces in the nick of time 
There isn't a pilot in the imperial fleet who can outrun her!!!! And she parents a whole crew while she does it. no one is doing it like Hera. No added help of force sensitivity because she is simply THAT GOOD. THEE pilot of all time, ever.
She outflew literal Anakin Skywalker without the force.
One time she flew through an imperial hanger in orbit and jumped to hyperspace while in the middle of it to get past the blockade. Also she beats out force sensitive pilots just by being so good at it
Ciena Ree:
She is an imperial pilot who is incredibly talented, she was only loyal to the Empire due to her culture’s strong emphasis on keeping up vows, but she still was a Star Destroyer captain before the age of 25. She’s also in a very emotional romance with a Rebel pilot and I just love this book and these characters so much

Saw the trailer for “The Acolyte” and it got me thinking why do they not make “Lost Stars”?
As much as I love Jedi, it would be interesting to see from the Empire side of things like “Lost Stars”.
A great story showing how not everyone in the Empire is evil and not every Rebel is good.
A tale of two lovers who serves the Empire until an incident caused one of them to join the Rebels.
There’s been so many stories being told from the “good guys” and there isn’t any for the “bad guys”.
The reason “The Mandalorian” became a hit is because it takes a refreshing neutral point of view.
“Lost Stars” is like “Rogue One” where the story features Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader.
How people serving the Empire genuinely thought the Rebels are terrorists that disrupt the peace.
How the destruction of Aldeeran divide the Empire which drives some to join the Rebels.
A unique story that shows you that nothing is in black and white. How the two lovers are torn between their love for each other and duty to do what is right.
The story focuses on the imperial cadets, pilots, troopers, officers, of what happens on board the Death Star when Alderaan was destroyed.
I think it’s a waste not to make this into a live action series.

The background more than anything discouraged me from getting it done sooner. More practice with dead trees and snow needed! I had just finished the first book in The Broken Code, and while having heard a bit of what happened already, I was excited by the ending. I can't recall my overall opinion of this series, but I think I enjoyed it.
Honestly I think I was first excited by the book cover and title? Kinda specific but I remember that.

Star Wars is a dystopia, and why Lost Stars is my favorite Star Wars novel.
(Vague spoilers only) Really, I just love any Star Wars media that strongly represents the dystopia that Star Wars is. Lost Stars, Inferno Squadron, Aftermath, Fate of the Jedi, and Andor all spotlight various parts of this dystopian galaxy.
In lost stars the main characters, Ciena and Thane go from being children on a planet not yet part of the empire, to training as their planet begins to change, to being well oiled cogs in the imperial machine.
It shows very clearly the change a person must go through to be within the empire without breaking. How it starts with the compromises you make with yourself, justifying atrocities in the name of peace. Dehumanizing entire groups of people, with the help of the propaganda around you telling you the rebellion are vicious terrorists that must be destroyed at any cost.
From one angle lost stars is about a very special relationship two people have with each other even though the most turbulent of times but what I see is an incredibly well done description of the internal struggle of two imperial soldiers as the Empire grows and fights to crush the rebellion.
How can someone who is not entirely evil be complicit in the destruction of an entire planet. Of millions of innocent lives. Of cultures.
How do they become more biased, desensitized, and cold to the plight of other beings?
what comprises does it start with?
The time of the Empire was one where absolute control at any cost was valued. Alderaan was turned into rubble, to send a message to the rebellion. Jedha city, a place with incredible cultural significance, was leveled to kill the rebels, the terrorists as they were called by the empire. Mandalore was glassed. How do you justify that? Again, an armed populace, some of which joined the rebellion whom I reiterate were called terrorists in imperial propaganda.
There are so many more layers to the dystopia that Star Wars is but for now I leave you with this. For me, Star Wars as a dystopia is so captivating because it’s so familiar.
The dystopian elements of Star Wars are familiar to me.

13. 14, and 17 for the ask game please!
yay! answering this ask game:
13. What is your earliest Star Wars memory?
okay I love this question. I remember watching ANH when I was like 4 ish? so funny story, like many 4 year old girls, I was DEEP in my princess phase, and my parents got me to watch it with them because they told me there was a princess in it. and let me tell you I felt LIED to lmao. like yeah Mom I guess she's a princess but where's her ballgown and stuff. which is absolutely hilarious to me in retrospect because once I did get into Star Wars Leia was instantly my favorite character and she's still my #1 fave character. honestly she's just one of my favorite fictional characters ever. the other early memory I have is seeing TFA in the theater with my family bc that's what got me into Star Wars :) I was like "wait this shit is fun lemme go rewatch those other ones" and I started reading fanfic and stuff and that's how I got obsessed (although I was a die hard OT only fan for a while haha). sorry that was long lol
14. BESIDES THE ROTS NOVELIZATION What is your favorite Star Wars book?
confession: I have yet to read the ROTS novelization. I know, I know, I really want to I just haven't gotten around to it yet. BUT it's okay because I have VERY strong feelings about another book... Lost Stars by Claudia Gray. if that book has 0 fans, it means I'm dead. I read it for the first time in middle school and I've probably reread it at least 4 times since then. the writing is great, really unique story, I love Thane and Ciena. everything about it is just so good, the angst, the drama, the romance *chefs kiss*
17. Pick one Star Wars line to describe your life, what would it be?
probably "I have a bad feeling about this" because I'm just... constantly anxious 💀 and I regularly have to ask myself if something is actually wrong or is just ✨anxiety✨

There is something neat about Bristlefrost being the one to make the sacrifice play to get rid of Ashfur given the parallels set up between them during the first book. Namely, that like Ashfur, Bristlefrost gets rejected by her love interest in favor of another cat, Spotfur. But by the end of Lost Stars, she's coming to terms with it and actively working to let go of her jealousy toward Spotfur, while Ashfur obviously let his fester. At the very least, it seems clear that Bristlefrost's chapters being unusually focused on romance (especially for the first book in an arc) was purposeful.

The prologue and ch. 1 of Lost Stars are incredibly heartbreaking on a reread when I know how this all turns out. The child-like wonder for space travel and connections between Thane and Ciena are so well done. It won’t be long until the wonder is gone as they (both of them, in the end) realize how much the Empire grinds people down and takes away any semblance of love or empathy.
