Iella Wessiri: Are you single? Wedge Antilles: “Single” is a word the government created to give citizens tax disadvantages. Wedge Antilles: If you’re asking me if I’m lonely, the answer is yes.

Star Wars Legends: Poll of the Week - 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
Tumblr media
Which of these is your favorite creative way a Star Wars Legends author got rid of a love interest for one of the characters?
Luke Skywalker had to let Callista Ming die to free her spirit (which had previously also been in a ship’s computer and inhabiting his recently-deceased Jedi Academy student’s body) from the dark sider Abeloth (Fate of the Jedi: Conviction)
Qwi Xux broke up with Wedge Antilles at the dinner where he was planning to break up with her, which may not seem that creative on its face, but an amicable breakup where no one dies or turns evil is a bit rare in Star Wars (X-Wing: Starfighters of Adumar)
Wedge Antilles fell in love with widow Iella Wessiri, whose deceased husband Diric turned out to be not so deceased after all, and then said husband turned out to be a sleeper agent for the Empire (but don’t worry, Diric’s not in the way for long) (X-Wing: The Krytos Trap)
Mara Jade and Lando Calrissian’s affair was later retconned as being a cover for a mission they were doing together (Vision of the Future)
Corran Horn discovered he and Chertyl Ruluwoor, the Selonian with whom he had a one-night-stand, were incompatible when he developed an allergic reaction to her fur and she had a skin reaction to the acidity of his sweat (X-Wing: Wedge’s Gamble)

If Star Wars Husbands Took Their Wives' Last Names
Han Organa: It sounds weird, but at least it makes more sense than Princess Leia taking the last name of a smuggler.
Luke Jade: No, because Mara's original last name doesn't correspond to an actual family. Palpatine could have made it up, for all we know.
Corran Terrik: Booster would probably feel a little better about it.
Kell Sarkin: It has a nice ring to it.
Wedge Wessiri: I associate his badass feats too closely with "Antilles" for this one to really land, but least AO3 tags wouldn't have to distinguish between Syal Antilles Fel | Wynssa Starflare and Syal Antilles | Lysa Dunter.
Did Winter have a last name before she married Tycho? I've seen "Winter Retrac" in some circles, but I have no clue where that comes from.
Jagged Solo: Sounds really weird until his first name is abbreviated to Jag, which is done 95% of the time anyway, and then it sounds really cool.

Re-reading the X-Wing series, and man, is Wedge Antilles gay.
Like, I can’t envision him as anything but now. I know he ends up with Iella Wessiri in Legends/EU, and I have no idea about Canon, but my Force does he spend a lot of time fawning over Luke Skywalker and Tycho Celchu. 
OK, in SDTCI, both Wedge Antilles and Iella Wessiri are gay and do their mlm/wlw bonding through sadness over LukeMara.
I’m definitely making a follow up to this.

“Leia’s two doors down, with two strange men,” Wedge said.
“How do you know they’re two strange men?” Mirax asked. “It might be Han and Luke.”
“Han and Luke are two strange men.” Wedge looked around the people assembled before him. Only Iella was still horizontal; on her cot beneath the S-foil of Wedge’s X-wing, she had pulled her pillow over her head to muffle all the conversational noise.

It’s been a while, so how about a bit from Katana for today?
- - 
“Your droid was looking for tea.” Iella stepped inside and the door closed behind her. She carried a tray in both hands. On it was arranged a compact tea set, obviously designed for travel. Steam curled from the teapot’s spout. “I thought it sounded like a good idea.” 
Mara watched, staying where she was, as Iella carried the tray to the bunk opposite hers and set it down. 
“He insisted on testing it,” Iella continued, carefully angling her body so Mara could watch as she poured a cup. Her brow furrowed as she passed it over. “I hope you don’t actually think we’d try to poison you.” 
Mara accepted the mug and discretely sniffed the dark brew. Gatalentan, she thought. Too snobbish for Solo. It must have be what Organa-Solo preferred. She wondered if Reggie had made a note of that. It was worth knowing, but she likely wouldn’t remember to tell him by the time she got to see him alone again.  
Iella was still looking at her expectantly. 
Mara replayed the other woman’s words and shrugged. “You’re NRI,” she said, taking a sip of the tea anyway. It was perfectly brewed and the rich, soothing taste unwound some of the tension in her shoulders in spite of herself. “You hate smugglers and it’s your job to keep the Republic safe. Eliminating an asset held by a smuggler wouldn’t be outside your purview.” 
“Bothans hate smugglers,” Iella corrected, pouring herself a mug and settling onto her bunk beside the tray. “The rest of us tend to like them just fine. As for being NRI,” she added slowly after a brief pause, “yes, I am. And I’ll admit I’ve done a lot of things I’m not proud of as part of deep cover assignments.” She cradled her mug in her hands and regarded Mara solemnly. “But I don’t kill people — or order them killed — just because what they’re up to isn’t in the best interest of the New Republic.” 
“So when this is over, you’re just going to let us go?” Mara challenged. “Me and Talon. Let us disappear back into the Fringe, knowing he has an Oracle?” 
“I like to think I’m just, not stupid,” Iella said, arching an eyebrow. “Obviously, I’m going to try to broker a deal with you. To keep you in our orbit.” Her expression changed, her brows knitting a little. “I would never try to take you away from Karrde. You need to know that.”

I hate how every single woman in the series is Corran Horny for Corran's Horn
this man is as bland as oatmeal on saltines covered in flour

Finished Mara and Iella! Not totally in love with how they came out, but I’m glad to have them on the shelf

Admiral Ackbar just said “there’s bigger fish to fight” which is objectively a much better idiom

Hearing "Mara Skywalker" or "Leia Solo" or "Mirax Horn" or "Tyria Tainer" or "Iella Antilles" always annoys me because I wish Star Wars had developed more unique marriage customs for the different cultures.
I know it works differently for Mandos, but I want to know specifically what a Corellian or an Alderaanian wedding looks like, for example, and, you know, create something actually unique and appropriate instead of copy-and-pasting from our primitive planet.

WIP: Meeting new people
Tumblr media
One of the complexities of Lightsabers Are Always Loaded is that Mara has a lot of people to meet over the 18 months or so covered by the story. Here she meets Iella Wessiri at a tough moment for both of them. 
“You understand why I am suspicious of your sudden appearance at the bridge.” Wessiri declared, no question in her tone.
I agreed that I understood but I offered no elaboration. What was I going to say after all? I was following a funny feeling in my stomach that there was somewhere I should be? That would go over well with an intelligence officer - which is what I was pretty sure she was.  This was the person outside of the fringe Mirax had mentioned needing to meet. That she’d been on the bridge and knew where Mirax was staying meant she was more than just a distant business connection.
“I get that you don’t trust me, but Booster does, and you’re about to fall over.” I pointed out.
“Mara’s okay, Iella,” Mirax broke in in a ragged whisper, voice thick with unshed tears, “She’s Luke Skywalker approved.”
Wessiri stepped back and contemplated me again for a moment.
“Luke Skywalker’s judgement calls might be the primary cause of all digestive issues faced by the NRI.” she muttered, shaking her head.
“Karrde could probably get them a good deal on antacids.” I replied, doing a terrible job hiding the smile that threatened at her concise evaluation of Skywalker.
“Talon Karrde too, I see.” she mumbled nodding, “I’ll tell Cracken.”

Tag 9 people you want to know better
Tagged by @horsyunicorn hello!
• 3 ships:  Fitzsimmons (Agents of SHIELD), Amy/Rory (Doctor Who), Sylki (Loki)
• 1st ever ship: this is actually a little difficult because while Star Wars was the first IP I got into, I actually didn’t start engaging with the actual fandom for a few years (and that was a mistake), but since it’s definitely the first thing I really got into, my first ship is a tie between Luke/Callista Ming and Wedge Antilles/Iella Wessiri. Yes, I am old. No, I don’t like Mara Jade as a romantic partner for Luke. Don’t @ me.
• Last song: Taylor Swift - How You Get The Girl
• Last movie: honestly I think it was Thor: Love and Thunder. I don’t get out much lol
• Currently reading: fanfic. Lots of fanfic.
• Currently watching: my son and I just finished Andor. Absolutely elite television, give it a try even if you don’t like Star Wars. Diego Luna got nominated for a Golden Globe and while deserved, he’s not even the best performance on the show IMHO.
• Currently consuming: orange Fanta (is anyone surprised)
• Currently craving: sushi

Booster thought about it for a second, and then was distracted by more of Myri’s prestidigitation. “All right, girl, you can stop it. You’re hired.”
Myri froze in midshuffle and looked at him, wide-eyed. “Huh?”
“You were applying for a job. Right?”
She shook her head, bewildered. “I was practicing. Mom says it’s an area where I’m weak.”
Booster turned his glare on Iella. “Meaning you’re better at it than your daughter?”
Both women nodded.
“All right, then,” Booster said. “Iella, you’re hired, too.”
Iella smiled. “Only if we get the approval for Corellia. But if we do, Myri and I will work for free.”
“Hey,” Myri protested.
“Well, for tips.”
“Done,” Booster said.
