I think we should celebrate long term fans who have been in the fandom forever... but I also think we should celebrate fandom transplants who've recently come to make fandoms we love more vibrant and fun!

I, personally, joined the Star Wars fandom a little over a year ago today. It's not that I hadn't been a Star Wars fan before - I loved the originals as a kid (and of course had seen the prequels) and spent hours running around pretending to be Star Wars characters or playing with my action figures (yes, little girls collect them too). But, when the first of the Rey movies came out and I went to the movie in my first ever cosplay as Leia from Hoth I was devastated - pretty soon my Star Wars figures were packed away and I'd moved on to different fandoms (no offense to the sequels, of course, but I'll never unlike the horror of being 11, sitting in the front row of the late showing, and watching Han Solo die on the screen). So, for most of my teenage years I kinda looked down on Star Wars as a thing of the past. Then Andor came out. I know, I know, it was only a year ago, but boy did it make an impact! I'd really enjoyed Rogue One and remembered liking Cassian's character, but that show... man, it took me by surprise. Just like that I'd fallen back into the fandom as a hardcore RebelCaptain shipper and a devoted Rogue One (and Andor) groupie. And then things started to take off! Next I watched The Mandalorian while reading all the Rogue One related novels I could get my hands on. Then I asked my sister to pick Rebels or Bad Batch for our summer viewing (I voted Bad Batch) and we took of on a Rebels filled summer that ended with Ahsoka which I frankly found disappointing but which inspired some of the most popular fan fiction I've written to this day. Growing up my parents didn't let me and my siblings watch TV shows (until I was 12 and bagging to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender) so I'd never seen the Star Wars TV shows (honestly, I was a live action purest). Let me tell you, I'm kinda glad I didn't! These shows are NOT for kids but they're perfect for me :) Then, I fell down the Bad Batch rabbit hole (starting last fall). I still looove Rogue One and Andor, but they became second favorites as I was sucked in to the nontraditional, queer coded, found family that is the Bad Batch - Hunter has become my Star Wars alter ego and honestly I hope that never changes. Now I'm working my way through The Clone Wars while of course enjoying and dreading each new installment of the Bad Batch's final season. I know it's only been a year, and maybe something will shake me from the fandom, but honestly, I'm pretty sure I'm here to stay - being a transplant fan is awesome!!

Y'all ever wonder why space dads always go for adoption in a galaxy far far away? I'm assuming the dating pool must be very limited...

OMG - yes please ;)

After Omega has gone on a little boating adventure on Pabu by herself and inspired Crosshair and Hunter to come save her...

This idea just randomly came into my head and I furiously copied it out - you're welcome for what you didn't know you needed ;)

Bonus...

Bonus x2...

It seems like maybe Hunter and Crosshair are starting to get along? By acting like teenagers, but... It's still progress!!

Sometimes I stop and think about how my honest options make other people so upset. Like, other people think it's okay to get in my business and tell me that inherent parts of myself or what I believe and find joy in are WRONG. That's scary, you know? It feels really frightening. Strangers want a say in what I think.

Reblog and share your favorite part of Star Wars and why it means so much to you...

My favorite part of Star Wars is The Bad Batch. I started watching the show at a really tricky point in my life and it became a safe space I could come back to where I watched characters I loved work through similar things to what I was experiencing in real life. I myself am a sibling who spends a lot of time looking out for and sharing experiences with my siblings, so watching specifically Hunter and Omega's story unfold means SO much to me. I grew up bi, non-binary, and unschooled in rural conservative Iowa, which in lots of ways is as close as someone can get to being a defective clone. Bad Batch has provided a safe place for me to explore the sweet and bittersweet moments of my existence - it's taught me how to survive even when everything you've know has fallen apart. To me Bad Batch will never be just a animated kids TV show - it is a reflection of the world today that teaches me to move forward with more confidence, defiance, and sympathy in the skewed up world we live in today. I'm really really grateful to be part of this fandom.

Reblog and share your story! Let's celebrate A Galaxy Far Far Away!

To every nerd and fan out there who haunts fan spaces, hesitates before posting, who thinks they won't ever wear that cosplay, and worries that they're not nerdy enough or loud enough or cool enough. To every fan and nerd with a huge following who still feels fandom anxiety somewhere in their life. To every teenager who is new to fan spaces and who worries we'll think they're too young - you are ENOUGH. You are beautiful. You are not the only one. And most importantly, you belong.

May the force be with you.

I keep wondering what I'm going to do when Bad Batch ends. And I'll keep wondering until May. Can you all promise to keep up love for the fandom even when our beloved show is over?

Ok, so like this shadow trooper guy is almost definitely Tech (I mean, have you SEEN the similarities?) so now my question is, does Crosshair KNOW? And is he INTENTIONALLY not telling them? How will this come back to haunt them? And how traumatized is Crosshair?

I need this. Now.

Ok so not CW, but hot take: Kylo Ren shoulda been Chewie’s son instead. Wookie strength and rage, the black fur red eyes look, full madclaw. Plus the mask makes sense as a translator. Zero downsides.

You guys really want me to choke with these headcanons

We all know there wouldn't have been a sequel trilogy with Chewie as Wookylo's dad

[defectivequeerforceuser]

Un huh.

#cowboy hat man!! #this is perfect

Yup.
