The Force is with you, young Skywalker… But you are not a Jedi yet.

#i tried to describe this to my mother (who somehow hasn't seen it) and was like. it's extremely - it is so much about the language of film #that you can't really express it in speech #favorite lightsaber duel setting ever though #gifset for ts #star wars #may the fourth be with you #the empire strikes back #anakin skywalker #luke skywalker #cleft chins and cyborg hands

[anghraine]

I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father. 

#they rhyyyyyyyme #star wars #the phantom menace #a new hope #luke skywalker #anakin skywalker #cleft chins and cyborg hands #attack of the clones #revenge of the sith #the empire strikes back #gifset for ts #may the fourth be with you

Some Skywalker quotes I enjoyed from the SW marathon:

1.

Leia to Anakin: Only you could be so bold. (ANH)

(uh huh)

2.

Anakin to Grievous: You’re shorter than I expected. (ROTS)

Leia to Tarkin: I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board. (ANH)

3.

Luke: It just isn’t fair. (ANH)

Anakin: He just doesn’t understand! It’s not fair! (AOTC)

4.

Luke to Han: Between his howling and your blasting everything in sight, it’s a wonder the whole station doesn’t know we’re here! (ANH)

Leia to Han: Put that thing away! You’re going to get us all killed! (ANH)

5.

Leia to Han: You needn’t worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that’s what you’ll receive! (ANH)

Luke to Han: Well, take care of yourself, Han. I guess that’s what you’re best at, isn’t it? (ANH)

6.

Luke to Han: I knew you’d come back! I just knew it! (ANH)

Leia to Han: I knew there was more to you than money! (ANH)

7.

Anakin to Ozzel: You have failed me for the last time, Admiral. (ESB)

Luke to Jabba: That’s the last mistake you’ll ever make. (ROTJ)

8.

Anakin to Padmé: I saw my mother. I saw her as clearly as I see you now. She is suffering, Padmé. She is in pain … I must go. I have to help her! (AOTC)

Luke to Yoda: Han! Leia! … I saw a city in the clouds … they were in pain. …I’ve got to go to them. (ESB)

This has nothing to do with SW, I just felt like saying it:

I feel like a lot of us on this site probably could identify a specific book or series we read as children or teenagers that impacted us more than any other. It's the book/series that disproportionately shaped our senses of what a book or a genre could be and changed us in some fundamental way beyond the reach of every other book we were reading at the time. People joke these days about books or other media that "alter your brain chemistry," but this book honestly did feel like that.

Maybe this isn't everyone, but it was definitely something that happened to me as a kid. I still own the same copy of the book that did this for me. I've hung onto it for over 20 years, partly because I still love the story, and partly because I have such a strong sentimental attachment to my particular paperback copy of a book that blew open my sense of what a fantasy story could be and what ideas it could engage with.

It not only made me want to read the next book in its series, it made me want to write books myself and imagine my own worlds beyond my hobby of writing little sketches and stories for myself. I previously had no intention of showing those scraps to anyone else, but this book made me want to write fantasy seriously, to write things I might some day show other people without being embarrassed about it. And the book not only inspired me to want this, but convinced me I could do it. I started writing creatively in earnest and I never stopped.

It wasn't any of the books I usually talk about, either. Here's what it was for me:

[Photographs of a paperback copy of Diane Duane's High Wizardry from around 2001]

I've been thinking of what fantasy favorites I'll re-read after I drag myself through what remains of my dissertation and ... honestly, it will probably be High Wizardry.

#i loved 'so you want to be a wizard' and 'deep wizardry' but 'high wizardry' just. rearranged my entire concept of what was possible #madeleine l'engle was the closest experience but even that did not light up my brain in the same way #i would probably not have seriously committed myself to writing without this specific book falling into my hands #(by 'falling into my hands' i mean 'i was chronically ill and isolated and bought them for myself to have something to enjoy' #and boy did i ever. favorite and most formative book of my entire childhood) #anghraine babbles #anghraine's pics #writing #reading #long post #ivory tower blogging

Oh, my best friend and I also talked about the unexpected glimpse of the Rancor keeper's grief in ROTJ. I was like, "even a monster can be loved by someone" and we're just ... oh.

Deliberate or not, it's very suitable for ROTJ!

#this parallel is maybe the greatest of them all???? #but also i just watched esb and i am pretty sure some of hayden's mannerisms/articulation are directly based on mark's as luke #it was reminiscent of anakin without the same baggage and that is. well. luke #but luke mirroring vaderkin so much in rotj is just the pinnacle of this #anakin skywalker #luke skywalker #gifset for ts #star wars #revenge of the sith #return of the jedi #cleft chins and cyborg hands #may the fourth be with you

I see the hair is genetic.

#i'm pretty sure i posted this in my first year or two at tumblr #but GUESS WHAT i still love them and their parallels and the conscious evocation of luke as anakin falls... the good stuff #star wars #may the fourth be with you #anakin skywalker #luke skywalker #cleft chins and cyborg hands

Suddenly the Rebellion is real for you? Some of us live it. I’ve been in this fight since I was six years old. You’re not the only one who lost everything. Some of us just decided to do something about it.

The force is strong in my family. My father has it, I have it, and...my sister has it. Yes, it’s you, Leia.

I know. Somehow, I’ve always known.
