So I know this going to be an unpopular opinion but I love the design of the Sith Inquisitor lightsaber and if I had a spare $500, I'd probably back this project.
I feel like people and their lack of imagination have a hard time separating the lightsaber from the character that Hasbro says it's from. Like sure, it says it's Reva's lightsaber from the Kenobi show but I don't like I've seen a Sith inquisitor lightsaber that doesn't look like this.
You could, if you bought this, just say "hey look at my Sith inquisitor lightsaber, isn't it cool"? You don't have to say it's a specific characters, especially if you don't like the character. I've never watched Kenobi so I can't say one way or the other on the character, I just like the design and look of the lightsaber. Use some imagination.

Hasbro Reva (The Third Sister) Force FX Elite Lightsaber | New Saber Alert
Hasbro Reva (The Third Sister) Force FX Elite Lightsaber | New Saber Alert
Hasbro Reva (The Third Sister) Force FX Elite lightsaber has been unveiled. The lightsaber is inspired by the double-bladed red Inquisitor lightsaber wielded by Reva, The Third Sister. If created, the Reva lightsaber would be the most intricate, cutting edge (and most expensive!) Force FX lightsaber produced to date.

Hasbro sent along a ton of images, and we'll be posting them with commentary starting, well, now. Most of them will be in the queue for tomorrow.
This HasLab Star Wars The Black Series Reva (The Third Sister) Force FX Elite Lightsaber is up right now. It's $499, they sold about 500 on Friday, and as of the end of the night Saturday it's at about 651.
If you don't recognize it, it's from the Obi-Wan Kenobi show that just started and we assume you watched.
The Star Wars The Black Series Reva (The Third Sister) Force FX Elite Lightsaber is very expensive - and very big - and from a new show. I assume future cosplayers will pay out the nose for this, and the run size is only 5,000 so it'll probably go to production and see a big surge once it hits the main goal.
I am at a "I don't want to spend mortgage payment money on props and repaints" phase of collecting, so I'll be passing - but lightsaber fanatics and prop fans, this looks pretty awesome.

The Mandalorian, And The Jedi
Jessica: Hey, Jaune?
Jaune: Yeah?
Jessica: Would you be my, Jedi to my, Mandalorian?
Jaune: You do know they tended to fight each, a lot. That’s basically the entirety of their relationship; fighting each other to the death for millennia’s upon millennia’s. There were several, Mandalorian crusades that only stopped when the, Jedi got involved. The Jedi, and the Republic basically glassed their planet to stop them from going on crusades again. I love you, Jessica, but considering most of the relations between, Jedi, and Mandalorian’s I do not want that between us.
Jessica: I didn’t know you knew so much about, Jedi, Mandalorian relations…
Jaune: I’m a star wars fan, I just don’t wear it on my sleeve like other people.
Jessica: That explains your large collection of FX lightsabers…
Jaune: Why else do you think I collect them. Not, just because they’re cool.
Jessica: That is true… I wanted to marry you on the spot after I saw your collection…
Jaune: What was that?
Jessica: Nothing!
Jaune: Okay…?
Jessica: So… No to the, Jedi, and Mandalorian relationship idea. So, how about me in the classic, Star Wars slave girl outfit instead?
Jaune: Wait, you have one of those?!
Jessica: Yep! Do you… Do you want to see it…?
Jaune: …
Jaune: Yes.
///
These two would be big, Star Wars fans, it just fits them all too well.

In a galaxy far, far away... in the times of the Old Republic right before the re-emergence of the Sith, there were 3 younglings with bright futures: Xie Lian, Feng Xin and Mu Qing.
A Star Wars meets TGCF AU.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The boys would occasionally, if not often, bring stress to their master jedis by wandering off. They once even discovered a holocron and were both amazed and surprised when XL managed to open it with the Force. Sadly, it didn't hold anything interesting - only ramblings of an old jedi long since passed, and they were too young to understand.
MQ finding his kyber crystal on Hoth, a hostile icy planet sacred to the jedi and where every youngling begins their journey with building their lightsaber. He found a fragmented purple kyber crystal, whereas FX was called by a blue one, and XL ended up with 2 yellow crystals.
Blue - "loyalty, stability, truth, and justice"
Purple - "ambition, power, royalty, and wisdom"
Yellow - "goodness, warmth, and energy. Those who wield yellow sabers have given up a part of themselves for their position"

I saw the thing. Both of the thing. The two things. Those things. Star Wars things.
RIP Luke Skywalker's relevance post-OT, we hardly knew ye.
[spoilers and shit below the cut]
I mean... the first two episodes did their job? They certainly felt like a typical Star Wars, whatever your definition of Star Wars is. It just feels like these people at the top have no fucking idea what to do with the galaxy post-Empire and pre-First Order. Like, there is no obviously Big Bad Fascist group of baddies that our plucky underdog rebel heroes have to fight. The enemy is not clear as bright fucking day. What is the enemy? What are we fighting? Is this why we're plundering the depths of the EU and overwriting EU!Thrawn with Disney!Thrawn? Is this why we're turning the New Republic into an uncaring out-of-touch wannabe Galactic Republic/Empire?
There are many, many places where the Volume is painfully obvious and it is incredibly fucking distracting. Personally, Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy and the POTC trilogy really sold me on the possibilites offered by the marriage of practical FX and CGI. I've never been convinced by the "gimmick" that James Cameron's blue cat people promised, and seeing how increasingly terrible and cheap and fucking greedy the Hollywood studios have become since then has me convinced that we're fucked. I still want to one day get a job in entertainment design but I am increasingly gritting my teeth and side-eyeing the state of things.
There has to be better way to paint non-human skin tones onto actors right. The lack of emoting also really frustrated me. I hope it's just people settling into their roles but I also don't know the sequence in which they shot their scenes. It's just... I felt nothing. I lied. I felt something for Sabine's lothcat. I get Ahsoka at this time being aloof, distant, cold, closed off, but everybody else? I didn't feel it. Maybe from Skoll and Hati, our non-Jedi Norse wolves. Nordic? I don't fucking know.
Someone please explain to me how Sabine is suddenly a Padawan, an ex-Padawan, and now a Padawan again. I never saw Rebels but I know enough canon to know that Padawans are supposed to have some kind of Force sensitivity? Why is Ahsoka deciding who to take in as a Padawan? I thought she left the Jedi Order before she became a Knight? What the fuck is going on? Is she just... making up the rules now since there isn't an Order of people to say, "Hey, maybe don't"? Or is she just picking up where Ezra and Kanan left off? I don't know Rebels and it is midnight; I sure af am not going to decide to read summaries of everyone right now.
Sorry to Luke who either never blipped on Baylan's radar or was just that unimportant to him. Somehow. Sorry to Cal, though I don't even know if he survived to see the Empire's fall.
Among the bipedals who speak Basic, Morgan Elsbeth wins the award for "Most Interesting Character" because Diana knows how to chew up her scenes and has the charisma to keep me interested. I don't recall she was ever revealed to be a Witch in her Mando episode. But now she is? What? Why?
The baseline world development of the Corellian shipyards fucking kills me. I know nothing about Lothal from the show so I can't say shit, but from what I've seen of the city itself, it's so.... clean. CG clean. "We can't let people know we live here" clean. The Volume was screaming into my eyes on Arcana, and I can't believe the fucking planet is called Arcana.
But what is the reason why Sabine put away the parts of herself that are Mandalorian? Is it so that we can see her floundering and struggling and letting her hair grow long while she tells everyone to fuck off? Is it so that we can then see her saw off her long hair a la Mulan (or Kanan, I guess) and become a Mandalorian again? I... I don't have any emotional investment in this. I didn't see Rebels, therefore I don't have any actual emotional investment in this. It's just, cool CG, lightsabers whee, classic Star Wars-ish music to yank at your heartstrings, droids, magic, the Force, Force shit, more lightsabers, pew pew, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee. And people I only recognize because of the Galaxy of Heroes games, fandom osmosis, and cursory skimming of the Star Wars wiki. If I was a true outsider who knew the bare minimum from previous D+ shows, waht would my investment level be?
Is anyone surprised that Andor keeps showing up in these conversations? I want to rip my hair out and scream at people who hate the discourse because they say people just want more shows exactly like Andor (grimy and dark and grimdark with no Jedi and no Sith and no pew pew space fights and no bzzzzzzzzzzt lightsabers and all politics and politicking and hard decisions made by morally gray characters either trying to survive or trying to see the Rebellion survive) instead of the campy unseriousness with color and bad CG and silliness and pew pew space lasers and shit. I just want more shows made with love and care and a basic understanding of storytelling. There's a difference between telling a story and telling a Star Wars story. The Felonious Showrunners are telling you a Star Wars story full of Star Wars. Did you see the Star Wars? Look at the Star Wars. Listen to the Star Wars. Feel the Star Wars. Yes, I get it, but are you also telling me a story? Is this all really just a buildup to Thrawn returning to the galaxy to take control of the Imperial remnants to make a second Empire or some shit like that? And as always, does it really matter when Thrawn and Ahsoka and Mandalore didn't have ANY impact on the galaxy or the fate of the New Republic and the First Order in the ST?
Fucking hell, looked up serial vs episodic because I forgot the terms and then deleted the entire paragraph because what's the point l o l. Look, the problem for me is that this show relies on working knowledge of Rebels and also The Clone Wars so that we can understand who these people are, what their history is with each other, and where they're coming from when the Norse wolves sprung a witch from her cell. I don't have the time or energy to do any of that, so I don't... I don't care. Who are these people? Explain them to me. Tell me why I should care without assuming I already watched the other shows. All we had of Andor is Cassian Andor, who dies at the end of Rogue 1. Yet somehow we got to see all these new faces emerge and bloom and keep rising or dying for the sake of the nascent Rebellion. We got to know who the fuck they are, what the fuck they do or did, what their relationships are to each other, to the Rebellion, to the Empire, to Cassian. We got to see and hear what they believed in and why they fight or don't fight.
You don't need the 3 episodes of fleshing out Ferrix or any of the characters integral to a story arc. You already have the settings and the people. You already have the history. It would take a lot less work to introduce who they are, what they did or do, how they relate to each other, what they won and lost . It just... it just feels so damn shallow and half-baked and stiff and light like cotton candy.
I think if not for Andor, these first two episodes of Ahsoka would be perfectly acceptable in the Star Wars D+ series pantheon. But Andor is fucking Spiders Georg and fucked over people's expectations of what a good Star Wars show is and can be.
ACTUALLY. WHY NOT TELL THOSE OF US THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE DISNEY STAR WARS LORE WHO THE FUCK THRAWN IS, WHAT THE FUCK HE DID, AND WHY WE DON'T WANT HIM BACK. Oh he's the last of the Imperial Grand Admirals - so what. Moff Gideon is beneath the likes of Vader and Tarkin and Thrawn and he did a lot of fucking damage. Andor showed us very clearly what kind of power and damage the ISB can do. So how much more damage can Thrawn do if he did come back? What kind of threat is he? TELL US HOW DANGEROUS HE IS TO THE NEW REPUBLIC. TELL US WHY MORGAN IS TRYING TO BRING HIM BACK. FOR HER OWN AMBITIONS? TO HELP OUT THE OTHER IDIOTS HIDING IN THE DARK, LAUGHING AT GIDEON CLONING HIMSELF IN A PATHETIC GRAB FOR POWER? COME ON. TELL ME SOMETHING.
Anyway, sorry to Luke Skywalker who's stuck on Ossus fucking around with Artoo and a bunch of spider droids, locked out of some greater story about an apathetic former Padawan and her own Mando Padawan looking for a lost Jedi while also trying to stop a blue man from returning to the galaxy. Maybe he never should've returned to Star Wars and stayed a grumpy old Jake who died all alone on some fuckoff island.
Let's see what the next episode will bring! At least it makes great background noise while I do other things.

My Best TV of 2022: A (Unexpectedly) Long List
This is not a problem I expected to have, early in 2022.
Back then, the quality of TV shows was so disappointing, I considered writing one of those cranky, old-school critic’s columns complaining about how the glut of shows in our modern, streaming-fueled media environment was ruining everything.
I should have just waited around a bit. Because, even though I was mightily disappointed by some of the biggest TV projects on the docket – everything from CNN+ to Lords of the Rings: Rings of Power (the repetition in the title should have been warning enough) – lots more TV shows surprised and delighted me this year. Too many to fit on a top ten or top 12 list.
In fact, there were too many to fit on this excellent roundup prepared by me and five other critics at NPR.org (we each got about eight choices). And I will fess up now – I didn’t vibe with FX’s Reservations Dogs in its first season, so I didn’t keep up with the second and it’s not on my list. Many apologies to devoted fans of a show I’m very glad exists and so many love. But I’m not among you devotees (at least not yet).
Here's my list of fave shows from 2022, in no particular order. It’s by design very subjective, so I welcome debate, but it’s about what touched ME on TV this year:
Andor (Disney+) – Started slow, but turned into a masterful reinvention of the Star Wars universe, focused on the gritty, merciless beginnings of the Rebel Alliance. Who knew a Star Wars show with no lightsabers, no Jedi Knights and no Force could be just what the franchise needed? REVIEW
Atlanta (FX/Hulu) – The last two seasons, both released this year, weren’t nearly as impactful as its first two. But this show remains an excellent showcase for creativity and ambitious storytelling in portraying the lives of a quartet of Black millennials.
Here’s a Q&A I moderated w/Atlanta cast and producers at SXSW
youtube
Better Call Saul (AMC) – This Breaking Bad spinoff stuck the landing in series finale that capped both the origin AND ending stories of criminal lawyer Saul Goodman. REVIEW
Abbott Elementary (ABC) – Sidesplitting mockumentary-style comedy about teaching in a Philadelphia school that is so good, because it’s absurd humor is so close to the actual truth. PROFILE of star Quinta Brunson.
The Patient (Hulu) – Steve Carrell delivers his most impressive dramatic role as a therapist interrogating his own messy personal history while kidnapped and forced to help a serial killer. REVIEW.
The U.S. and the Holocaust (PBS) -- Star documentarian Ken Burns reveals how antisemitism in America busted the myth that the U.S. was always on the side of the angels as Adolf Hitler took power in Germany and began implementing his Final Solution.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+) – Focused on the Starship Enterprise 10 years before James T. Kirk would take command, it’s a welcome return to a rollicking, adventure-a-week series that recalls the spirit of the original Trek series better than any other modern reboot/revival. REVIEW

9 People You'd Like to Know Better
I got tagged by @saph-y! Thank you!
Last song: Resist and Disorder by Rezodrone/The Cartisian Duelists. I was feeling pretty frustrated earlier, and I just needed something angry and defiant to listen to.
Favorite color: On any given day I could answer green, blue, or silver/gray. I'd probably say green, considering my account name, but I also really like the other two. Green is the best lightsaber color though.
Currently watching: Shogun on FX. It's very intense (and at times downright horrifying/disturbing - looking at you episode 1), but so, so well made.
Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Savory. Too much sweet is no good, and I cannot handle spicy at all.
Relationship status: Single and almost ready to almost mingle.
Current Obsession: Other than my story, Rogue, which occupies at least half my brain space at all times, I'm finding myself excited for a Star Wars 5E campaign I'm going to be doing with friends soon! It's gonna take place after the established canon in a fractured galaxy, kinda like the days of SWTOR but with more than just the Republic/Empire. I'm going to be playing a Kaleesh Guardian (Paladin in D&D rules) named Qaal who's taking his first steps into a larger galaxy as he seeks to understand his connection to the Force and where his place is in it. I told my DM that I didn't want to start with everything figured out as a Jedi, so he's only got a spear right now, and he'll be wrestling with the lure of the dark side vs. a call to the light. I'm excited though for when he'll eventually build his lightsaber, and to see who he'll wind up being.
Last thing I googled: "Dwarf name generator." Some minor character in Rogue needed a name. He will likely never appear again beyond this chapter.
I'm gonna tag: @anchanted-one @the-sith-in-the-sky-with-diamond @chubbyooo @crqstalite @dingoat @nusaran @outcastcommander @commander-ralyle @sidhevicious

Star Wars: The Dark Side (Canon)
“Star Wars: The Dark Side” is a Canon reference book written by Tricia Barr that was published on December 6, 2018. Only releasing in Spain and France.
Tumblr media
Pg 75 (red page): “Surgical reconstruction of Emperor Palpatine on Coruscant. Several of the assisting droids that participated in the sophisticated surgery that saved Vader's life were later relocated to the castle, including medical assist droid DD-13, surgical droid 2-1B and medical assist droid FX-6. The latter, the FX-6, was the same droid that built General Grievous and, under Vader's supervision, continued to design and implement improvements to the Sith Lord’s outfit.”
Tumblr media
Pg 98 (grey page): “Many have been caught in the conspiratorial web laid out by the Dark Side’s thinking minds. Queen Admidala of Naboo was guided in the political sphere by Sheev Palpatine, who used his youthful idealism for his own political benefit during the crisis of the Naboo Trade Federation. General Grievous' insatiable desire to improve his combat techniques led him to accept the cybernetic implants advised by the Sith, which made him more of a machine than a Kaleesh.”
Tumblr media
Pg 181 (black page): “For this reason, the Sith enlisted acolytes with special abilities and a fierce hatred of the Jedi, such as General Grievous and Asajj Ventress. Grievous had already demonstrated his talents as a warlord on his native planet of Kalee: he hated politics, but revered being at the head of the galaxy's greatest military force. A brilliant tactician, Grievous couldn't beat a Jedi in a duel, so he agreed to receive cybernetic enhancements to boost his combat capabilities. The cyborg general led the Separatist droid army, enabling him to engage in direct confrontations with the Jedi he hated so much.”
Pg 183: “His lair contained many spare parts, and he had the advantage of being able to afford to lose a limb or two in battle: this could slow him down, but not stop him. However, Grievous' conversion to cyborg had not been perfect, as evidenced by his constant coughing. This information was stored by the Sith for possible future conversion: each repair he underwent improved their knowledge of how to use technology against their enemies.
“Deprived of their identity and renamed with a number corresponding to their entry into the ranks, the Brothers and Sisters of the Inquisitorius perverted what the Jedi stood for, using a method totally different from that of Grievous.”
Tumblr media
Pg 213 (white page): “Trained by Count Dooku in the art of lightsaber combat, the Kaleesh cyborg General Grievous killed many Jedi during the Clone Wars and kept their weapons as a trophy. Served the Confederation of Independent Systems as Supreme Commander of the Droid Army. His tactical acumen gave numerous victories to the separatist faction. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi confronted Grievous on several occasions, forging a bitter rivalry that ended with a final face-to-face confrontation on Utapau.”
“Exalted by the glory he won in battle, Grievous attached the greatest importance throughout his life to the deeds of war. He had cyborg implants added to enhance his combat capabilities.”
“Ever since he was a child, Grievous had worshipped the warlords of his home planet, Kalee: he'd seen them return from their expeditions with the spoils of war stolen from the peoples they'd conquered. He made a meteoric rise to the rank of warlord, then embarked on space conquests. Grievous soon realized that the Jedi were virtually unbeatable in duels, thanks to their supernatural abilities and use of the Force, and developed a fierce hatred for them. The Sith, who were researching technologically enhanced beings, made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Beyond boasting of having been trained in the Jedi arts, not much is known about his conversion into a cyborg or his training with Count Dooku.”
