Ok but what if I made the Tusken more based off the Bedouines and actual human beings instead of the weird alien/racist thing that goes in canon?

i will say. even before shmi was tortured to death, even if you don't process the harsh slave labor or literal implanted explosive device to keep her from running away, shmi is a body horror character because her pregnancy is not consensual. obviously lucas is recalling mary and her immaculate conception but mary was TOLD what was going to happen. she was told she was carrying the child of the lord. that is an essential part of the story. and shmi was not!! she just woke up one day and was pregnant. she didn't know anything about the force. she probably knew next to nothing about pregnancy. she had to carry and give birth in the unimaginable conditions of slavery, with no idea what was happening to her . that's the kind of fear i don't think could ever be tackled properly in a kids movie (esp with it's real world parallels) but that it's not even discussed in fandom is unfortunate

#i love any take on shmi where she is seen as an actual character #shmi skywalker #the phantom menace #star wars

The delulu girl era is strong with this one

Eman Esfandi is sharing Gaza donation links daily on his instagram story, just a friendly reminder for everyone looking for actors to support on the side of Palestine.

"My actor crush supports Israel 😔💔"

I can't relate in Eman Esfandi being vocally on the side of Palestine - which for a Disney actor, is rare.

As an Egyptian, I don't understand why people are shocked that I support Palestine. They are my homeland's neighbor, and on top of that, Israel has bombed our border as civilians fled and threatened Egypt if they try to send aid to Gaza.

Israel has given Egypt and Egyptians every reason to support Palestine.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free

You forgot the part I bounced the relationship between Mon Mothma and her daughter in Andor and how motherhood in Star Wars is inherently doomed by the narrative.

The most powerful Sith Lord on screen in the prequels had to use a woman (Shmi Skywalker) to create life. Womanhood is so undervalued but necessary to create life and the universe, this also raises the question of where is The Mother in the Mortis Gods arc of Clone Wars because life cannot be created solely by the Force - so if The Daughter and The Son exist, where is their mother? Did she die? Did The Father abandon her when he isolated his children - echoing the children of the Jedi being taken from their mothers?

Motherhood in Star Wars is inherently tragic, even in the case of Suu Lawquane - which is often regarded as otherwise - because her husband is destined to become a puppet to his inhibitor chip or be hunted by the early Empire as a deserter clone.

Every mother in Star Wars is intertwined with loss, even background characters.

motherhood in star wars

this has probably been discussed before, but the theme of motherhood and being a mother in the realm of star wars media has been on my mind lately.

here is my question: why is theme of motherhood in star wars so fucking tragic?

first of all, most (not all) mothers of force-sensitive children have their children taken from them at a young age so they can join the jedi order. and the worst part is that these mothers never really see their children again because the order forbids attachments. it is so heart-breaking to have your child taken from you to join a weird, cult-like order where you will never see them again. there is a sense of loss and suffering in that aspect.

then we have a plethora of characters who are mothers and DIE (leia, padmé, shmi), who lose their mothers or lose someone close to them after becoming a mother.

padmé amidala literally loses her life to complications of childbirth. she did not even get to experience motherhood before her life was ripped away from her. it's so upsetting to me because of her eagerness to raise her children with anakin and live a life of happiness with her new family.

leia is born an orphan who has no mother (yes i know she is adopted by bail and breha) but she literally comes into this world without her biological mother because her mom dies from the complications of childbirth! then, leia loses her son ben to the dark side, only to sacrifice herself in the sequels. which, causes rey distress because she was a mentor and (sort of) a maternal figure towards her!

shmi skywalker literally loses her relationship with her son after he departs with qui-gon and obi-wan. and she literally also dies after reuniting with anakin once more in aotc. she loses the one thing that meant the most to her (ani - her pride and joy!) and does not get to fulfill her role of raising him into adulthood.

while hera does have an adopted family (zeb, ezra, sabine, chopper) she does not get to experience the life with the family she created with kanan because he literally dies. while she received the ability to be a mother to jacen, she lost her spouse.

why does being a mother in the star wars universe only bring you tragedy, loss, and even your life? what do the writers have against womanhood and motherhood? i am aware there are good portrayals of motherhood in star wars, but 75% of the mothers suffer.

it's infuriating to me, and i am sure it's just rambling, but it truly is so upsetting that we do not have many feel-good, healthy, fulfilling portrayals of motherhood in star wars. women deserve to see it. everyone deserves to see it.

#I feel like this ended nicely but in the case of Mon Mothma #she is doomed by the narrative to leave her daughter to fight a war and then never see her again #as her daughter is confined to the same fate of arranged marriages #star wars #star wars meta #motherhood #meta #now why can we NOT have happy motherhood for once in star wars #like after the war has ended after Endor #Also Ezra's mother and death again #literally everyone example of a mother in star wars has to have loss entwined with their child #And don't even get me started on the complexities of Sabine and Ursa Wren with this and loss #resulting in Ahsoka canonising the Empire took Ursa from Sabine along with the rest of her clan #even Jedi-Padawan motherhood was doomed from Depa Billaba and Caleb Dume to Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee #motherhood without tragedy please just ONCE
