I've recently been watching these very interesting Star Wars video essays on YouTube (yeah I know, a rare breed) and it brings up these comments Lucas has made about how he views Star Wars as almost like a silent film in terms of how important the visuals are to him in comparison to the dialogue. But this essay also points out how important Lucas finds all of the "rhyming" moments in his trilogies and the way he utilizes them to remind you of something else for emotional or thematic reasons. And there's so many of them, both in visuals and in dialogue, and it's interesting to consider how important this is to him, the repetition for a purpose as well as the storytelling through visuals above everything else and then to look at Star Wars since the Prequels came out and realize how little has really been able to match up to those ideals since then.

The ONLY thing that's come out since the Prequels that I think really hits these two things the same way is, in fact, Andor. One of the things I noticed about the way people discussed Andor as it was airing in a way I haven't really seen for any of the other shows or films was the visual SYMBOLOGY. So many times I saw people noticing the Imperial cog everywhere, from the aerial shot of Narkina 5 as the prisoners escape to the architecture of Mon Mothma's house. There were people picking up on the use of items in Luthen's shop that are familiar from other things to give this idea that Luthen is from another time, he's attempting to preserve this world he lost, that if you're not looking closely enough you won't notice what he's really saying or doing with this shop. The color choices for the different locations and people got analyzed because the people involved spoke about how they intentionally utilized color to SEND A MESSAGE about the characters and the world. We know that the people who made the costumes and sets really worked hard to treat Star Wars almost like a period drama and study the history of the franchise as if it were a real place so that the things they came up with felt like they belonged in this world everyone knows so well even if it's completely new. And of course there were all of the myriad references to things from Rogue One, the constant repetition of "climb", the sunset on the beach, etc.

Nearly EVERY SHOT in this show was created with so much intention behind it in order to say something meaningful about the characters, the world, this specific story they're in, and the overall saga of Star Wars itself. It's insane how much greater impact this show was able to achieve through the incredibly careful usage of visual symbols and thematic repetitions, much like Lucas did before them. It feels like they didn't just study the history of the galaxy far far away, but they studied the history of STAR WARS and what Lucas was trying to do and say with this story. They peeled back his onion a bit more and were able to create something that really has that same visual feel even when it's not created for a child audience. It also is experimenting with its narrative style through its structure and through Cassian's character being allowed to be somewhat more reactive than proactive, and while that didn't work for everyone, it does feel like it's following in Lucas's footsteps of experimentation through Star Wars. Push the boundaries of what Star Wars is and can be and what you can say with it.

But this only works because they peeled the onion back enough to TRULY understand all of the messages Lucas was sending with it. They got the heart of Star Wars and despite its lack of space wizards, despite the lack of most major characters in the Saga, this was a show that honestly got the message more than just about anything else Star Wars has put out since the Prequels. The choices between selflessness and selfishness, the themes about how you always HAVE to make a choice even when it feels like you don't have any (sometimes ESPECIALLY when it feels like you don't have any), and how important it is to make sure to choose the path of compassion above everything else. The themes of connection to others, the symbiotic circle and the impact even the smallest person can have on world around them, it's RIGHT THERE and it's CENTRAL to Andor's storyline.

So yes, it experiments a little with narrative structure, but it's possibly the most Star Wars thing to exist Revenge of the Sith because it honestly truly GETS what Star Wars was about, both in its themes and in its filmmaking. A lot of people said that Andor didn't feel like Star Wars to them, usually because of the lack of space wizards and the fact that it's not a story aimed at children. But to me, Andor is EXACTLY what Star Wars is and has always been. They're stretching the boundaries of what Star Wars can be, but it's saying the exact same things Star Wars has always said, it's just saying it slightly differently. This doesn't feel like fanfiction to me, not really. Unlike things like the Mandoverse or the books, Andor isn't just taking some of the toys out of the sandbox and going to play with them somewhere else. Andor is IN that sandbox. It's building a slightly different sandcastle, but it's still within the sandbox, using the same sand that Lucas did.

#star wars #andor #star wars andor #i GET why some people feel like andor isn't star wars #but quite honestly that feels like not just a superficial reading of andor but a superficial reading of star wars as a whole #the only other show to come anywhere near andor's level was the obi-wan kenobi show #there's tons of visuals that are intended to link back to both the pt and the ot #from obi-wan and leia's costumes to things like the fire obi-wan is burned in and that flashback scene #i'm placing andor above owk still because i think andor takes it an extra level higher but owk is also in that sandbox #owk just got stuck with the fucking volume and the disadvantage of going from a movie to a miniseries #but it did far better with those disadvantages than just about anyone else and still told a VERY star wars style story #the fact that it feels like the prequels is exactly why everyone hated it #and it's exactly why i loved it and think it's the 2nd best thing to come out of star wars since rots #i'll give 3rd place to rebels since it tries once or twice to do some visual and dialogue repetition #but those kinds of things aren't something i see analyzed about rebels all that much tbh #everything else is just fanfic that made a profit #some of it is really BAD fanfic that thinks a cameo is the same as a visual motif. it's not. they suck. stop doing them.

Do you ever think about the fact that Darth Vader was born on the same day as Luke and Leia?

#everybody always talk about how anakin 'died' on the same day as padme #and while i detest the idea of anakin and vader being different people #something something about good and evil being born on the same day #im sure theres someone who could articulate this #luke skywalker #leia organa #padme amidala #anakin skywalker #darth vader #star wars #at the time of ROTS and only the PT and OT were still canon #luke and vader were considered to be the last of their kind #vader as the last of the sith and luke as the last jedi #dont know if that makes sense #jedi #sith

[isorottatime]

the line “and with any luck, this will all be over soon.” fucks me up SO BADLY because it’s 23 years before it’s all over— and then anakin’s dead, ahsoka’s been flung across the galaxy trying to escape her past, and there are only these two kids who have to pick up the pieces. 

“you capture maul, i kill grievous, and with any luck, this will all be over soon.” 

THAT WAS THE PLAN. THE PLAN WAS CAPTURE MAUL, KILL GRIEVOUS. AND THEN IT’LL ALL BE OVER. BUT NO, IT WASNT. im eating glass

It's Wednesday my dudes! I have a lot of projects floating around so I wanted to consolidate most of them in one long post. Not included is my Evenstar (because I just posted a photo yesterday), and a couple experimental unfinished pieces I don't know if I will finish.

˖⁺‧₊˚✦ Doily 14 (Yarn | Pattern)

Chugging along with this guy. I'm on row 83 out of 111 and just about to hit the second colour change. At this point it's mainly stockinette so the rows are going pretty fast for how long they are.

˖⁺‧₊˚✦ Blanket 12 (Yarn)

Slow prog on this blanket since I only work on it when I'm in bed or on the couch. But since it won't be cold enough to need this until next year I'm quite fine with that. I also think it's probably too wide but I'm not redoing it.

˖⁺‧₊˚✦ ???Mystery Top??? (Yarn)

Started this on a whim to play with sweater construction and now I do like two rows every couple days. I do want to eventually finish it but it's quite boring. Maybe I'll add some plain stockinette rows in just to make faster.

˖⁺‧₊˚✦ Shawl 15 (various colourways of Knitpicks Hawthorn)

This shawl is Haunting me. It's so pretty but extremely boring to knit and extremely slow going. Plus it's taking up two sets of needles. But it's so prettttyyyy. Eventually I'll come up with a plan to finish it but until then it lives in shame.

˖⁺‧₊˚✦ Shawl 11 (Yarn 1 | Yarn 2 | Pattern)

The first of my two "doctor's appointment" projects. I haven't really been knitting too much in the waiting room because of how bad my back is so he's barely different looking. I've been tempted recently to frog this and restart with either a different pattern or just better brioche skills but I haven't been willing to pull the trigger on it yet.

˖⁺‧₊˚✦ Socks (Knitpicks Wool of the Andes Superwash in Marina and Cobblestone Heather)

The second "doctor's appointment" project. I had enough of this yarn for three pairs of socks but haven't hard the urge to knit any until now. Nice and simple toe up vanilla socks in worsted weight is very relaxing.

˖⁺‧₊˚✦ Blanket 11 (Yarn 1 | Yarn 2 | Pattern)

Not really that much prog on this, just been super into lace knitting rn. I think this'll be fun to work on outside when the weather is nice which will be Soon.

#knitting #knitblr #wip #lace rot #wip wednesday #procrastinated my pt to clean my desk and make this post. now i have no excuse :( #i have so many doilies in my future. I want to knit them So Bad. #project: doily 14 #project: blanket 12 #project: shawl 15 #project: shawl 11

I think the only 100% heterosexual character in star wars is anakin and padne. We literally need this for the plot to happen

And now…something completely unprecedented comes out of left field…

Actual art? WHAT?

This is Selene Angelfin, my long-defunct S.pongeBob S/I I have roused from her slumber. When I say this girl has been around a loooong time, here is the last pic I drew of her:

Yep, Selena’s a veteran S/I, one of, if not THE oldest. I am so happy with the updated look, and she shall be receiving a full turnaround sheet whenever I have the time/energy to pull that off.

Now that the important background context is out of the way, I bet you’re wondering who in the cavalcade of S.BSP characters Miss Selene is shipped with.

Well, you can either take a guess (if you’d like) or come back tomorrow for Pt. 2. And with that, goodnight to you all!

#Pt. 2 will have the answer #Followed by gushing about said F/O #This post is already long enough 😅 #Self shipping #S.pongeB.ob S/I #The brain rot has consumed me there is no foreseeable return

Now when he wakes it’s to an empty bed, sweat-soaked fabric plastered to ice-cold skin, throat scratchy and raw as if something clawed itself from his chest.
