im obsessed with the cover of this magazine i found from 1999 which i think looks like the jedi order had some kind of a space tiger beat equivalent full of hot gossip about notable jedi lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
there are a couple good quotes in the article, like here's ewan about the jedi on screen:
"They frown a bit, and they're good fighters. They stand for everything that's good. Nobody frowns better than Liam and l in this movie because we have the Jedi frown. We're just kind of cool geezers."
i genuinely believe that the decision to have the jedi frown was enough to tank their reputation with a large number of fans who found that off-putting and cold. if the jedi had smiled more, i guarantee that the number of fans who say that they were responsible for their own fall would be much smaller.
like think about it!! literally just bc mace windu frowned at anakin in the phantom menace, people malign his character so much. they read it as anger or disdain, but he was just frowning bc the jedi frown. they are serious people!! yoda said it in episode 5: "a jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind."
there is a lot that can be unpacked about frowning, the american norms of smiling and facial performance of emotions, and the discomfort people feel when those norms are violated. as someone with flat affect, i FEEL THAT. i love that the jedi are serious and focused. they're space wizard monks, yk?
Tumblr media
the other good quote is about how ewan intentionally tried to match alec guinness's voice:
"in the scene in his house where he shows Luke his laser sword for the first time, he's got such a specific voice — the Obi-Wan voice we know... kind of a fatherly voice."
ewan attempting to sound fatherly did things to those of us who are.. sensitive to such things 😅 it's like catnip for my brain personally lol

In May last year, my husband painted the library while I was in Italy. It was such a joy to return to a finished office after my travels. My dad had spackled the library two years prior, and all the sheetrock patches remained visible. It looks beautiful now. We kept the same color as we loved what the previous owners did with it. It's like an old-fashioned Victorian red with hints of rose and gray. The white areas got a facelift with a more cheerful, warm white. I meant to upload these pics last year, which totally skipped my mind. Like Cicero once said, "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need."

I write in my books because who else is going to? And who else will actually care?

The wrath of God lies sleeping. It was laid a million years before men were and only men have the power to wake it. Hell ain’t half full. Hear me. Ye carry war of a madman’s making into a foreign land. Ye’ll wake more than the dogs.

let's all cheer on Collins Classics for being so affordable and well-designed <3 (I honestly really love the signs of wear on some of these books, I don't want my paperbacks to look pristine at all)
