Love rewatching the first part of In The Name Of Rebellion part one because every part of the first scene is just instant serotonin. "Where's Hera?", Rex being there, Ezra being worried about Hera and Kanan saying that she's got it as they run to help her, Wedge saying "Captain" in The most distressed voice I have ever heard (whenever he says it I have to mimic him but in a Russian accent like I'm Chekov or whatever his name is from Star Trek) then calling her Boss like they're in the mafia, Chopper asking if Hera's astromech made it in a SUPER smug voice. And DON'T even get me started on "I've seen worse landings".

#like SIR HE KNOWS SHE DOESN'T CRASH JUST HAS VERY EXCITING LANDINGS #*flips table*#in the name of the rebellion #(aka one of my top five favorite swr episodes)#star wars rebels #swr #kanan jarrus #hera syndulla #kanera #ezra bridger #wedge antilles

((sorry but I purposefully left out Plo Koon bc he's a huge favourite and I figured he'd sweep up the votes; plus I think it already goes without saying we'd all love a Plo & Rex episode lol))

#captain rex #the clone wars #star wars #mace windu #quinlan vos #shaak ti #luminara unduli #aayla secura #kit fisto #saesee tiin #yoda #jocasta nu #poll #i'd love him & jocasta only if jocasta ends up doing all the ass kicking after rex treats her like a frail old woman for the first half lol #i'd LOVE a post-fives-death episode where rex TRIES to talk to shaak ti about the chips but she doesn't believe it's a serious problem #not that rex needs more pain lmao but i just wanna see the look on his face when he gives up trying to convince her and walks away solemnly #(bonus points if she tells him it's not worth lodging official complaints about & then the ep ends with him making his report we see in S7)#or a lighter episode where he just wants to confide in shaak ti as a ''motherly'' figure about something but she's too emotionally detatche #and he ends up on a mission with yaddle and finds he can confide in her instead... that'd be cute omg #anyways lol so ultimately my vote would be for aayla secura BECAUSE #i think in the comics she's made to be somewhat of a ... foil ? for anakin ... like a contrast and comparison type thing #how they're similar in age and maybe even friends but she recognizes how to let people go / death is natural / etc #anyways so if they make her kinda the ''opposite'' or ''what if'' of anakin then i'd love Rex to spend an episode with her

The return of General Obi-Wan Kenobi: an action choreography breakdown

The action choreography for Obi-Wan’s lightsaber scenes in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series episode 4 is SO GOOD. Every one of Obi-Wan’s movements had intentional narrative impact. Every. Movement.

He starts off by striking from the darkness, still rusty and lacking in confidence. He wields his lightsaber like a vibroblade, two-handed, heavy, overextended. It takes four strikes to bring each stormtrooper down.

They run together. In the corridor, the seeker droid starts firing blaster bolts. Obi-Wan instinctively takes up a shoulder-wide stance, lightsaber aloft by his right shoulder. Form IV: Ataru. The lightsaber form of his childhood, his apprenticeship.

He deflects a blaster bolt away from Leia. Then another. Stormtroopers flood in from behind him. He tries to deflect a bolt at the Stormtroopers, but it misses, because he’s out of practice. His body is catching up with his muscle memory. But he parries again, and again, and the next shot downs a trooper. He’s stumbling through Ataru stances like half forgotten memory but each step is smoother and more fluid and then the droid is down. The last trooper is still shooting and by then he can act on instinct - and now the trooper goes down in one hit.

Obi-Wan spins his lightsaber afterwards. He doesn’t know why he does it, it’s just years of instinct, written into his bones.

In the next corridor every single deflected bolt is another trooper down. But Obi-Wan and Leia are pinned on both sides, and he finally shifts his weight and moves into a rapid series of flowing movements, a deadly whirl of light. This is the lightsaber style of ultimate defense, the style that proved in the Clone Wars to be devastatingly effective against blaster crossfire: Form III, Soresu. This is the the style Obi-Wan used in his prime.

This is lightsaber style of General Obi-Wan Kenobi.

This is how you use an action scene to show narrative progression. Obi-Wan walked into the torture chamber as a rusty, determined hermit. Five minutes later, he stood in the corridor as General Obi-Wan Kenobi.

#star wars #obi wan kenobi #kenobi #kenobi series #kenobi series spoilers #i could write a whole essay about the stances he used in those three scenes #the physical acting was so incredibly well done #it looked like ewan mcgregor was intentionally taught to stumble and overextend initially #and then halfway through his bodyweight naturally shifted central and BAM he’s back #you could literally track his choreography from Episode I - Episode III and clone wars over a five minute action scene #SOMEONE SCREAM ABOUT THIS WITH ME

To Fight Alongside Heroes

By KyberCrystals94

Read here on Ao3!

Whumptober 2023 | Day 28 | Prompt 28: Sacrifice

Rating: G

Words: 593

Summary: Fives sits with Echo while he grieves lost brothers.

Fives wakes up in the middle of his sleep cycle to the sound of the barrack’s door sliding open and closed. He glances at his chrono. There isn’t a shift change for another two hours. He leans over the side of his bed to look down at Echo’s lower bunk. Empty.

Worried, Fives kicks off his blankets, drops to the floor, and makes his way out of the barracks as quietly as his sleep addled brain will allow.

Fives can’t help but marvel at how quickly the destruction of the battle has been cleaned up. There are still major repairs that need to be done to the outside of the city; however, the halls, which only a few hours earlier were stained in the blood of their brothers, are back to their pristine, sterile white. Like nothing even happened, like lives weren’t lost. Swept away like a bad mark on a record.

If it had been natborns killed on their home planet…

Thinking like that doesn’t help or change anything, so Fives pushes it to the back of his mind, putting his focus on finding his batch mate. Echo doesn’t usually go off on his own, and certainly not in the middle of the night when he doesn’t have a shift of some sort. So, Fives wanders on hastened steps, checking down each hall he passes.

He ends up at their old training room, the door’s lock unactivated. He goes inside.

Echo sits on one of the benches along the far wall. He is leaning forward, elbows propped on his knees, hands knotted together in tight fists, head bowed. Fives sits down next to him but doesn’t say anything. Echo doesn’t move, absolutely still. Fives sits back against the wall, eyes taking in the familiar room shrouded in darkness, the only light coming from the safety lamps dimly illuminating the floor.

After several long minutes, when Echo still hasn’t moved or acknowledged him, Fives asks, “Are you alright?”

Echo’s head turns slightly. “I should be.”

“On who’s orders?” Fives leans forward, mirroring Echo, so that they are shoulder to shoulder. He nudges him. “Is it about Ninety-Nine?”

“It’s about all of it,” Echo growls. “It’s about every sacrifice we make for the Republic. I know what I said to Rex and Cody, but…it’s not fair. And I know that life isn’t fair, and never will be — but I’m tired of watching our brothers being used as cannon fodder.”

Fives reaches over and tugs on Echo’s wrist until Echo gives him his hand. Fives grips it painfully tight. “You can’t think like that, Echo. Our brothers deserve to be remembered for the heroes they were, for the lives they saved. Ninety-Nine died exactly where he wanted to be…on the front lines serving with his brothers. And we were there for it, Echo, we got to fight alongside him.”

Echo grips back. “I know,” he whispers.

“He’d be proud of us,” Fives goes on, “becoming ARCs. Domino Squad too. After they got over the shock, that is.”

A ghost of a smile trembles on Echo’s lips. “You didn’t seem surprised today, when they told us about our promotions.”

“I’ve always known we’d make ARCs someday,” Fives says.

“You could’ve let me in on the secret.”

Fives chuckles. “And ruin the surprise? I wouldn’t deprive you of that.”

“I miss them, Fives.” Echo’s voice breaks on the syllable of Fives’ name.

Fives wraps an arm around Echo’s shoulders, holding tight. “I know. I miss them too.”

And that’s when Echo finally begins to cry.

No show will ever do it like Avatar because in the first five episodes we got to see:

1. The decrepit outskirt hovel town that said “It’s all UP from here” (literally, they’re at the South Pole).

2. A ruined but majestic Air Temple on a mountain peak.

3. A Fire Nation naval base.

4. A humble fishing village with several memorable characters.

5. A whole darn mountain metropolis with magical infrastructure ruled by a crazy old king and visited by an incredible gag character.

And it did all of this without feeling rushed, crowded, forced, or unsatisfying.

In five episodes.

#atla #avatar the last airbender #I know I've pointed this out before #but the pacing of that show was perfect #and it's no accident that Star Wars and Tolkein's works feel similar #at least in the starting point #but Tolkein's work is also vastly different in that he starts you off in the most comfortable of places #and then you're either trapped in a dragon's cave or limping toward a volcano #outside is scary #meanwhile star wars is just ''we're in space we're on a farm we're in a tavern we're in space we're in a fortress we're in a jungle''#and it's HARD to do that #almost impossible #and yeah shows like Batman and Superman and such can visit five different places in the first episodes #but they generally don't have the same arcs and slopes #though I think GLTAS did a good job with that sense too #maybe #it's been a while since they CANCELLED IT

no matter what happens as a result of dax's misreading of the danger here and no matter how jokey she sounded asking that final question all i can say is that the right decision was made. what if it was smart fungus? what if, huh? what if it was a fungus civilization? what if it was a fungus that could cause changes on the quantum level? what if it was fungus that could decompose irradiated material? what if the fungus could withstand extreme pressure and was rooted deep deep deep beneath the planet's surface? what if it was pretty pretty colors? what if the fungal colonies could still detect the experience of a separated-growth, snipped off, and they tossed that separated-growth into a black hole and monitored the main colony and they figured that shit out? what if it was smart fungus? what if it was stupid fungus and now they just know about another species of fungus? point is. you gotta.

#like they're about to fight a WAR #kira is just five years out from fighting a WAR #surely this is one of those things to fight about--to preserve. the ability to want to explore fungus #this is just the first thought i have about the episode. but in a way. it's the main one.#ds9 #star trek #jadzia dax

The Power of Good Writing, Explicit Anti-Fascism, and Hope: Star Wars' Andor

There's a show that I am recommending to everyone and their mother. That show is Andor on Disney Plus. It deserves to be seen, but more importantly, it needs to be seen. It demands to be seen.

For the uninitiated, Andor is the latest in an increasingly large line of Star Wars shows. Some people skipped this show, simply because they didn't care about the titular character, Cassian Andor, rebel spy and secondary character in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016). But I am recommending this to everyone, Star Wars fan or not. I don't care if you've never seen a single Star Wars show. I don't care if you've never seen a Star Wars movie. Watch this show.

Andor is the story of rebellion. How rebellions form, how they survive, and how they succeed. It is about the purity of freedom and the oppression of tyranny. It contains the best writing in Star Wars that I've ever seen, and makes the rest of what Disney Plus has produced look like a steaming pile of garbage (which often, it is). The miracle of a corporate conglomerate producing a powerfully poignant piece of anti-fascism media is something I'm trying to wrap my head around. How did this get made?

Everything in Andor is top-notch. Whether passionate monologues are being delivered or silent, tension-filled moments are holding you in suspension, each moment is engaging and thoughtful. The visuals are crisp - Andor was produced on a real set, and you can see and feel that in the rich tapestry that surround the characters. The CGI that is used enhances everything around you, and immerses you in the characters' reality. There was a scene in Episode 6 that quite literally stole my breath away.

Diego Luna shines as Cassian Andor, a masterclass of subtle acting where the darting of the eyes or an exhaled breath can speak volumes. The other characters in the show - Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma, Stellan Skarsgård as Luthen, and Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen, just to name a few - deliver their own equally sensational performances as their characters.

It is obvious that so much heart, time, and effort went into this show. Everyone involved put in 110%. That isn't so unusual in media, but in this case, every bit of effort paid off. Each element in every episode wove together as seamlessly as breathing, making you wonder, "Why isn't everything like this?" As each episode ended, I was simultaneously in awe and furious that we could have had this all along. If you want to see what good television looks like, watch Andor.

#andor #star wars #i could have written so much more #literally theres so much i love #the freaking THEMES in this show man #this past episode I was literally HOOKED when all people were doing was walking down a street for five minutes #i cannot get enough of this show #also theres lesbians
