THE BOX IS NABOO

That’s it, I’m doing it, I’m writing that stupid meta I’ve had in the works for two and a half years, I’m sharing it with the world. I promised it for last Thursday, my poll was forever ago, but whatever! I’m writing that freaking thing.

(super duper long post, press j to skip)

Enter my rabbit hole.

First thing to establish: the Box makes no sense whatsoever in-universe.

((EDIT: Something I forgot to mention. IRL, the premise of a giant murder cube and the aesthetic - wall patterns, light designs, etc - of the episode come from the 1997 horror movie Cube, (see the episode’s wookieepedia page). However, while the two are very closely linked visually, the Box does not follow the movie structurally or narratively, as you can verify by simply reading the movie’s summary.))

Recap of the context for the "Box" episode (s4e17): Palpatine is planning his own kidnapping. It was never meant to succeed, and while the plan would obviously benefit him (making the Jedi look bad, pushing Anakin closer to the Dark Side, making Republic citizens more afraid -> more docile, etc...) his actual goal is never explained, and it’s weird that he’d go to such extreme lengths for results so minimal that we’re never told what they are.

So Palpatine asks Dooku to kidnap him at the Festival of Lights on Naboo. Dooku hires Moralo Eval to design a giant box-thingy to test bounty hunters to hire the best of them to kidnap Palpatine. Moralo then gets arrested to alert the Republic that something is afoot, and hires Cad Bane to break him out. Obi-Wan - undercover to learn Moralo’s plan - goes with them. They evade capture and go to Serenno, and Bane and Obi-Wan have to pass the box-thingy test. The level of brainkarked logic here... Truly on par with Megamind, Gru and Heinz Doofenshmirtz.

Setting aside the insane plot holes and utterly nonsensical behavior of the villains, the Box itself is moronic from a plot perspective. It’s insanely complex, obviously incredibly expensive and would have taken months (more like years but it’s a short war) to make when it’s not even needed for the dastardly plot! Just hire some guys who have already proven themselves against Jedi! Throw cash at Bane and Embo and a few others! Maybe attack them with your saber and see how they do! 

And after all that, Dooku still ends up trying to kidnap Palpatine on his own. I can’t even... 

So why does the Box exist? Well, apart from being a nerdy callback to Cube, giving us a good thrill and being generally awesome to look at, it has actual narrative purpose within the SW universe.

The box is Naboo.

What the Box lacks in plot relevance, it makes up for with its heavily symbolic meaning. It very closely follows Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon’s experiences on Naboo - but only certain parts, which I’ll explain later.

We start with clean, sterile environments, SW’s favored way of showing villainy.

Then we have the protagonists locked in a room as dioxis, a poison gas, pours in.

And then they escape... this way.

(Okay, here the shaft is down, not up. And it’s not a ventilation shaft per say, it’s the designed escape route. Same difference).

We then skip most of TPM (namely, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon discovering the droid army, finding Padmé, leaving Naboo, landing on Tatooine, going to Coruscant, etc, etc) to come back to Naboo and go directly to the lightsabers and catwalks.

(Note: in both scenes, Obi-Wan has to propel himself from a catwalk.)

In TPM and TCW, the catwalks are immediately followed by ray shields

And we finally end with the last scenes. Now, they don’t look the same but they are structurally identical. 

Obi-Wan is faced with a challenge unsuited for his abilities (facing Darth Maul // shooting three moving targets when he’s far more skilled with a blade than a blaster) on a narrow space above a melting pit/pit of fire. 

He first watches someone die failing to complete the task...

 ... and has to do it himself, faring much better than expected (holding his own against Maul // shooting all the targets easily). 

He then almost falls to his death and gets saved unexpectedly.

And then there’s the final showdown.

In both scenes, Obi-Wan is angry. And in TCW Dooku eggs him on, banking on his anger. (More on that later.) In both cases though, he centers himself and is able to overcome both his opponent and his own unbalance. But in TCW, he doesn’t go for the kill, because he doesn’t need to. 

The Box, as a literal character-explorator ex-machina, thus shows us Obi-Wan’s growth.  

In TPM, Obi-Wan follows Qui-Gon’s lead. In TCW, he is the leader. He identifies the gas, makes the plans. He doesn’t fall from catwalks anymore - he runs atop moving ones. He doesn’t stay stuck behind ray-shields, he finds the solution. (Btw, how did Moralo know what blood type Derrown the Exterminator was? There was a 50% chance of him dying - thus killing all of the bounty hunters. Was that an acceptable outcome? TCW I need answers!) He doesn’t slay his foes, because he’s become powerful enough, skilled enough and wise enough to survive (and win) without needing to kill.

He’s grown - and, even more interestingly, he’s also stayed the same. In the previous episodes, we see some of the dark aspects of Obi-Wan. How he - like all Force-wielders, all people - could lose himself if he stopped maintaining absolute control.

But in the Box, surrounded by the worst criminals of the Galaxy, the most ruthless, worthless people, he’s still kind and tries his best to keep them alive.

The Box is a reminder and a reassurance for the audience that Obi-Wan Kenobi is still there under Rako’s face. He hasn’t lost his compassion, his restrain. He’s still a Jedi. And he’s an awesome, badass one. 

And now, for what it tells us about Dooku! 

It’s much shorter, don’t worry. Basically, Dooku considers that the best way to pick “the best of the best” of the deadliest people in the Galaxy is making them go through what killed his Padawan. There, I’ve broken your hearts, you’re welcome. 

More seriously, Dooku is a manipulative ass. It’s pretty clear that he knows Rako is Obi-Wan, or at the very least suspects it. 

He has an interesting reaction upon learning Rako’s identity, he keeps praising him despite his usual distaste for low-lifes, he smirks secretively after Eval says “I’ll show you who’s weak” (not included there because it’s a close-up of Dooku’s lips and no one wants to see that) and he tells Rako he’s very disappointed when he doesn’t finish off Eval.

[Later]

(Look at this smug asshole - I can’t. YOUR GRANDSON IS THE BEST, WE KNOW, STOP ACTIVELY RUINING HIS LIFE ALREADY.)

(Dooku... why...)

Now obviously Dooku couldn’t have made the Box specifically for Obi-Wan, because it would have to have been designed months before the Council ever decided to send Obi-Wan undercover, but he has no qualms trying to use it to push Obi-Wan to the Dark Side. Ffs Dooku, making your spiritual grandson relive one of the most traumatic events of his life on the off chance that he’ll join you (and desecrate his Master’s memory in doing so) is not okay!

Final tidbits of analysis: I mentioned that not all of TPM is mirrored in the Box. What’s omitted is the droids (even though Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon fight B1′s and droidekas between the dioxis and the ventilation shafts) and anything pertaining to Sidious (all the political stuff on Coruscant). You’ll also note that the fake lightsabers are orange.

=> The Box distances itself from anything that connects Dooku to Naboo. Red lightsabers are the trademark of the Sith, so they’re not used. The bounty hunters will be facing Jedi, so logically the fake sabers should be green or blue - and yet they’re orange, the color closest to red without being red. It fits with Dooku’s special brand of dishonesty - he always tells bits of the real story but twists them just enough to absolve himself of any fault and to justify his choices. 

(”We can destroy the Sith” -> could maybe destroy Sidious with Obi-Wan, but fails to mention he’s a Sith Lord himself; “the Viceroy came to me for help, that’s why I’m attacking the Republic” -> political idealism is a small part of it, but fails to mention he’s Sidious’ underling and is playing the Viceroy like a fiddle; “Qui-Gon would have joined me” -> maybe, still fails to mention he’s working for the man who ordered Qui-Gon’s death; “I told you everything you needed to know” -> debatable, never said that Palps was Sidious; “Sifo-Dyas understood, that’s why he helped me” -> partly true, doesn’t admit to killing Sifo-Dyas right after getting his help)

So we have a twisted version of Naboo, droid-free (as droids are now irrevocably associated with Dooku, even if that wasn’t the case in TPM) and with sabers that aren’t quite red. Keep in mind that Dooku had already fallen by TPM. (We know this because he killed Sifo-Dyas and created the Clone Army - part of Sidious’ plan - when Valorum was still Chancellor, as per the episode The Lost One.) That means Dooku was (in)directly complicit in Qui-Gon’s death. And the Box doesn’t (=refuses to?) acknowledge that. 

(Also omitted in the Box are the Gungans and Tatooine. It makes sense, because Dooku probably wouldn’t have the full details regarding those parts of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan’s missio as they weren’t as public, and would see them as irrelevant if he did. He utterly despises Anakin, and Gungans are the type of people he always dismisses out of hand). 

Anyway, that’s my two cents about the Box. To quote Lucas...

“It’s like poetry. It rhymes.”

Thanks to @lethebantroubadour @impossiblybluebox​ @nonbinarywithaknife @ytoz​ and @kaitie85386​ for voting for this one. Next up is a compilation of the Jedi being casually tactile with each other (because they’re a warm and affectionate culture, dammit).

Also thanks to @laciefuyu​ for giving me gifs I ended up not using ^^; you rock anyway!

I was tagged by @winterfrosted to do a commentary on 5 of my own creations. Thank you for the tag! These aren’t necessarily my top 5 personal faves for myself but they are creations I’ve put a lot of thought into making, so here goes!

lyra&marisa spectres/alethiometer thematic dust parallels - This one actually is my personal favorite out of all the sets I’ve done. I’ve wanted to make the middle gif as soon as I noticed how similar that shot of Marisa is to Lyra in the opening credits but I didn’t want to waste it on a lame concept. I had to think about it for a while and the idea for the whole set actually came to me while I was setting out to make a shitpost edit, but as I was skimming episodes for anything I could use I saw the shot of Lyra opening her eyes in the first gif while she was using the cave and the whole thing came together. I loved the contrast of Marisa suppressing herself and what makes her human in order to obtain power (control the spectres) to Lyra letting herself go (no thoughts head empty) to be able to read the alethiometer, which is a form of power too. Synchronizing the shots was so meticulous but was so worth it. It ended up looking really cool and I’m quite proud of it. I’m actually still a bit hung up on it — this set is the reason I’ve been trying to make my color schemes more cohesive.

marisa/asriel + antiparallels - I don’t like looking at this set as much as I did when I first made it but it is another one where I thought long and hard about the concept (and a lot of my director’s commentary are in the read more cut in the post). One of the things I really appreciate about the show is how the parallels between Lyra and her parents underscore their differences, but the antiparallels between Marisa and Asriel underscore their similarities. I love the way their relationships with Dust also parallel with their relationships with their daemons, and those are my favorite things to get across visually with gifsets (and, sometimes, with fanvids).

9 gifs per episode (s1) - This doesn’t have much of a concept I just love the colors on the show wanted to explore how the color palette changed throughout the season. 72 gifs individually colored but it turned out great!

marisa&goblin (the blind assassin) 1.0 - There’s at least three instances in The Blind Assassin where Iris refers to her heart as a bratty child meant to be brought in line with a slap or a sharp word and I like how well they fit with Marisa’s relationship with her daemon. The two of them on an endless march — I’ve done 2 sets already, I’ll probably make the third one when S3 comes out.

borisa + blank space - If you’ve been following my blog for a while you’ve probably figured out that I’m a Swiftie, and Blank Space is my favorite TS song. I was dying to do this the entire season. Just waiting for the poisoning scene to complete it — and I think it ended up being one of my best colored sets!

Tagging @laciefuyu @titaniae @thesunsetsea @cozcat @queenofnabooty but obvsly you don’t have to do this!

2020 Creator Wrap: Favourite works

rules: it’s time to love yourself. choose your 5 favourite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world. tag as many writers/artists/etc. you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

tagged by @laciefuyu, thank you for the tag, Lacie!

1. The Chips Didn’t Work was just a lot of fun to write, and it was some much needed fun at the time, because the derecho had knocked out power for a week and the heat was not fun. It had been a while since I wrote fic on notebooks instead of my computer, but it was a good change of pace and the lack of distractions probably helped, too. I think the fic turned out well, and it’s always a delight to annoy Palpatine.

2. The Burden of Secrets was my take on a reveal of Anakin’s slaughter of the Tuskens, with a bit of salt at all the fics/meta that condemn Obi-Wan for faking his death in the Deception arc. It was a difficult one to write, to avoid the fic just outright hating on Anakin but needing it to focus on the fact that he had done something absolutely horrific that needed to be addressed and giving that the weight it deserved. I won’t claim to have pulled it off perfectly, but I think I did a decent job.

3. Jedi June was a great event, and I’m glad I put it together, and managed to write something for each day of the event, too! It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to do for the event, but I’m happy with the theme of parables that I went with.

4. Searching for Survivors was my first Star Wars fanfic, and while I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the result at the time, looking back, I think it was good for a first foray into writing for a new fandom (which is always difficult, and more so when you disagree with a lot of the popular fanon, as I do with Star Wars), and I’m glad to have contributed to the Mace positivity!

5. This is not Star Wars, and technically I started the fic back in 2019 (finished it in 2020, though), but as someone who mostly writes oneshots, I’m pretty happy that I actually finished my multichapter Miraculous fic, Echoes of a God. It’s the longest work I’ve actually finished writing, so I feel pretty accomplished about it!

Tagging: Anyone who wants to do this!

Time to Shine Thursday

So there’s a new event going around the fandom that, in light of Tumblr’s dwindling support for content creators, I’m all too happy to participate in! I was tagged by @lightasthesun, who’s a lovely person you should definitely check out.

From her post:

“This tag game was created in hopes of reaching at least a few people and creating more awareness for the creator-side of tumblr. Time to Shine Thursday is inspired by these posts and meant to be for all artists alike: writers, editors, poets, GIF makers, cartoonist etc. This is me giving you all an excuse to show off!

Only rule: Be as thirsty for attention as you want to be! Link one of your old fics/art pieces or one that didn’t didn’t get enough attention, link a work you loved to create or share a draft from your newest WIP. Or do all of these. Be greedy. Show your art. Crave attention. Be proud. And don’t forget to give your friends an excuse to show off theirs!

Additional note: Please consider dropping one of your favorite hidden gems by an other author along with your own work so others can enjoy it as well and so that it doesn’t stay buried any longer!”

Now more than ever, lets give our content creators some love!

If you’re not already, check out these wonderful gifmakers, writers, artists, edit-makers, poets and cosplayers who all bring me joy: @clownakin, @kyber-erso, @skywalking-across-the-galaxy, @manmehakkaur, @no-human-has-legs-that-skinny, @elliewritesstories, @lilabard, @midnightlie, @minniepresents, @laciefuyu, @fictionisalwaysbetter, @midnight-wonder, @shadowmaat, @captainfaultyprogramming, @arya-durin-51, @suja-janee

As for me, I’m a writer mostly but I’ve also recently gotten into doing art and have created an art blog @niyama-art. I also (very occasionally) post poetry on my sideblog @faedontfearthecold. Also, for those of you who haven’t found it yet, here’s my AO3.

I’m going to share a snippet of a WIP that’s a companion piece to Through All the Watches of the Night:

‘I am Darth Vader,’ the monster says. ‘The Emperor sends his regards.’

Rex feels the deep resonance of that mechanical voice in his chest. The shrieking hiss of a lightsaber shatters the moment of petrified silence following that statement and then the screaming starts. With the sudden visceral certainty that is brothers’ lives were on the line, Rex doesn’t stop to watch the carnage, turning to Jesse and Payt. ‘Go. Now.’

The three of them take off in unison. In the corner of his eye, Rex spots Haat tearing across rooftops with his new sniper rifle slung across his back. Someone behind them must spot the movement because a heart-stoppingly familiar voice cries, ‘Over there!’ and two of the monster’s honour guard peels off from the slaughter, chasing after them and Rex fights the urge to be ill because they’re clones-

Blasterfire from their pursuit shatters the air above Rex’s head and he ducks, swerving back and forth to make himself a more difficult target. He doesn’t fire back. He can’t. 

‘We’re not gonna lose them!’ Payt growls as he sprints for the short space between two buildings. If they can make it out into the city, they’ll get lost in the crowd - although clone armour sticks out like a sore thumb these days, it’ll be something.

Payt gets hit in the shoulder and he cries out. He doesn’t fall, but stumbles, turns and starts firing back.

‘Payt!’ Jesse cries, agast.

‘I am not gonna die today!’ Payt bellows, and Rex hears a clone cry out and a body hit the ground behind him.

His chest heaves and his whole body burns with the effort to keep moving. He doesn’t look back. He can’t.

- Quiet in the Jet Black (Watches’verse 2, WIP)

i was tagged by @coulter, thank u very much soph!!!

this vera claythorne + rilke quote is my absolute favourite thing i did this year, I think. i love everything about it, and i love the colouring and the quote and maeve dermody so much. *sobs* this year was my full conversion into an attwn cultist lmao

this oc set which took me forever. but it’s so beautiful and i love the vibrance and the mood in them! the sparkles are so neat!

this marcel gifset for hdm week! beautiful! sparkly! slowly brainwashing the fandom into fancasting him as aidan turner lmao

i like it when you’re gone: a marcel & lyra bonding au fic which was prompted to me by sami, and i love it to bits! and i just live in this parallel universe where philman will do them justice and like. write them helping each other please!

what yet lingers: a worldbuilding fic set during the events of both trilogies. This is not fully created yet, but it’s my favourite project I’ve worked on this year. It’s just so peaceful to get immersed in Lyra’s world and just write whatever I feel like and it’s even nicer knowing people enjoy reading it!

I’m tagging (and i’m sorry if you’ve been tagged already, and no pressure to do this at all!): @queenofnabooty @belacquaparry @laciefuyu @cozcat @amirwilson @bitchinlyras @torrefaction-of-silver and if anyone else wants to do it, feel free to do it on my behalf!

ORIGINAL vs EDITED GIFs: tagged by the lovely @lyrawills and @buckleyrobin

The gifs on the left are all unsharpened and uncoloured (obviously). My process is basically capping > cropping/animating > coloring > sharpening (using @elenafisher’s glowy sharpening action that I’m completely obsessed with). I don’t use psds but I kind of do follow a certain “sequence” when I’m coloring. I start with levels/saturation/exposure and then selective color which is my favorite thing ever. Then I just adjust the vibrance and the curves until it’s to my liking. I love making the colors pop (especially cyans and oranges). I use diffusion to save and try to keep them below 7mb. And that’s it!

I’m tagging @humanveil @lordeasriel @laciefuyu @evocatiio @maoherondale @ladycoulter @marisacoulterr @titaniae if you guys wanna do it (or haven’t yet)!
