At last I can talk about my story in the wonderful new #StarWars anthology #FromaCertainPOVReturns! I'm writing about the almighty Sarlacc: a vegetarian who's really sick of being force-fed random meat people.

113/120

5/5

This was a book that I grabbed on Audible- and it was amazing! I loved it. So many of the stories were very entertaining. I especially loved Boba Fett’s story and a story about a mouse droid. I already own the second one physically and can’t wait to start it.

If you don’t like Star Wars or aren’t a huge fan, this isn’t going to be as enjoyable. This is definitely something put together for major fans of the Star Wars franchise.

I didn't expect the suckerpunch to the emotional gut, but here I am wheezing and gasping for air after reading what Mackenzi Lee is putting down here.

She gets it.

The Skywalkers are wildfires, their passions scorching the dirt as soon as they're given a spark.

How different this galaxy would be if the Skywalkers didn't care so much.

The Skywalkers could level planets with their obstinacy. Though, Padmé was like that, too.

From There Is Always Another by Mackenzi Lee, From A Certain Point Of View: The Empire Strikes Back

I love knowing that in TPM in the background of the squad's second encounter with Anakin this

is the guy they chose to base Quinlan's design on, and was retconned too be Quinlan. the fully-fledged knight with a Padawan of his own at this point, on an undercover mission on as remote planet no one's supposed to be in, watching this random Gungan get into a fight when all of a sudden his boyfriend's Master shows up. insanity. a while later he finds out the kid that helped them now is now his boyfriend's PADAWAN. gotta love it

#at least he's committed to the bit and never breaks character #would be funny af to have a from a certain point of view book for tpm #and have a quinlan story #which is mostly just him chilling on tatooine with aayla doing whatever they were sent to do #and then in the middle of it it's just like “THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY I JUST SAW QUI-GON ON THIS RANDOM ASS DESERT PLANETWHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK #star wars #quinlan vos #star wars the phantom menace

We need to talk about Obi Wan’s LOVE for Anakin again.

“The way we both lost him, I want to say. To a needless war. To a wild heart. To a doomed prophecy.”

I NEED TO LAY DOWN

Anakin used to sleep on the floor next to Obi Wan’s bed....omg

This sent me over the edge. THE DUMB BEAUTIFUL SON OF MY DUMB BEAUTIFUL FRIEND.

Obi Wan, i’m crying :(

What if this was my last straw

The way Obi Wan described Anakin.....

MACKENZI LEE WHO HURT YOU?^^

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi from a Certain Point of View is out today, with a whopping FORTY stories spotlighting different characters from RotJ. I took on the Sarlacc —— Disney Plus still remembers how I obsessively rewatched the same bits of RotJ and The Book of Boba Fett to get all the details right.

8/50

4/5

I really enjoyed this one. I feel like I did it a disservice by reading the first one through an audiobook and then reading this one physically.

The writing was good; the stories were so amazing. I loved coming back to this series and the universe of Star Wars. This is definitely something for already established fans of Star Wars- so I definitely wouldn’t pick it up as an introduction. This is the second book in the series- I can’t wait to pick up the third one.

|| Star Wars Return of the Jedi (1983) ||

••••••••••••••••••••••••

Luke had stared directly into the pain and rage of Anakin Skywalker, and somehow managed to see past it all. Now he stood alone, a son offering compassion to his fallen father.

"When he called out, you answered," Obi-Wan said. "You chose him over the Emperor. You chose empathy over power. You chose a future for the galaxy, to break the rule of the Sith.

"You chose to bring balance."

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Did he see us?" Anakin asked his former master.

Obi-Wan's chin dipped quickly with a nod.

"What about her?"

"She has taken her first steps. But what she does on her journey, that remains her choice. Leia has many gifts beyond the Force."

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

"I have faith in them," Anakin finally said. As if that phrase unlocked the universe, the forest began to fade from his view, the feel of his corporeal body dissolving into the Force and leaving him with a single realization—an insight for the ages, so simple and yet so profound

At that moment, he chose the only thing he ever needed. It just took one final nudge from Obi-Wan to get here.

Finally, Anakin Skywalker let go.

A question of loyalty: an analysis of two perspectives in season 1

The past few years, I have loved rewatching season 1 with the context of the finale, because it has been so interesting to really see things from Crosshair's perspective.

Our first hint that maybe Crosshair's motives aren't what we first thought:

Hunter's (and our) perspectives on the issue are further challenged:

And then we reach the ultimate accusation:

So, let's take a look at both sides.

POINT #1: "Crosshair was the one who kept attacking the squad! How could he POSSIBLY accuse the squad of betraying him??"

COUNTERPOINT: Because from his perspective, they had. We as the audience know the whole plan was for the squad to get Crosshair back after they escaped the brig on Kamino - in fact, Hunter was prepping to go back for Crosshair at the same time Crosshair was coming for them - but Crosshair doesn't know that. He had been arguing with his squad ever since Order 66, trying to get them to understand how important it was for them to follow orders, and they had yet another disagreement right before he was singled out. His inhibitor chip gets intensified, he gets sent after his brothers (as if Tarkin needed to do anything else to thoroughly disgust me...), and he finds them in the hangar prepping the Marauder to leave. (Just to reiterate: from Crosshair's perspective, he had recently been arguing with his brothers, and now he finds them readying to leave.) Hunter never tells him that they were coming back for him; instead, they engage in some back-and-forth about surrendering and following orders before the shooting begins.

Having left him on that note, it would be all too easy for Crosshair to work himself up over the perceived abandonment - especially if he started feeling any sort of regret over his actions toward his squad (finding a way to blame the other party is, after all, a common defense mechanism).

And every time they cross paths thereafter, instead of his brothers apologizing or listening or trying to come with him, they keep running away from him after arguing with him about how he's being controlled and forced to obey orders. I can't help but imagine that any mention of "programming" only served to stoke Crosshair's ornery side: he and his squad are "superior," after all; he can't be controlled, he is being a good soldier and following orders because HE chose to, not because of some stupid chip. (Cue Crosshair claiming it "doesn't matter" when he got his chip removed: his ideology remains the same, thank you very much.)

And so, from Crosshair's standpoint: his brothers abandoned him, they won't even talk to him except to try to convince him he's wrong about everything, and they're ruining any chance they have of finding "purpose" by remaining soldiers and serving the Empire.

POINT #2: "Hunter and the others didn't try hard enough to get Crosshair back - actually, they didn't try at all."

COUNTERPOINT: I think we overestimate just how much time passed between the Batch escaping Kamino and the events on Bracca (unless the squad was just hanging around in open space for weeks at a time, which I doubt). Consider how quickly events occur in the first eight episodes:

The squad narrowly escapes Kamino

They try to lay low at Cut and Suu's, but that lasts maybe two days before they are on the run again

The Marauder crashes

It's necessary to find a way to scramble the ship's signature, so they have to make a quick landing on Pantora

Enter Fennec

Well, now they have to find out why a bounty hunter is after Omega

Enter Cid

Cid pretty much immediately starts blackmailing them

They have to do another job for Cid - we don't know exactly how much time passed, but Cid doesn't seem to be one to wait to order the Bad Batch around, especially as this next job reasserts her claim on them.

Rex reappears - we don't know exactly how much time passed here, either, but I would guess Rex sought them out as soon as he was tipped off about them.

(Lest anyone think Tech must have just given up on the chip scanner after the Marauder crashed, remember that he needed comparative data in order to properly use the scanner. I can only imagine how much it must have eaten at Tech to not have any way of finding a source with the necessary data to complete the scanner - especially considering everything else going on - until Rex miraculously showed up.)

So, until reuniting on Bracca, there is precious little time or opportunity for the squad to formulate a plan to get Crosshair back... And then Bracca happens. Here, they are confronted by Crosshair, who responds to genuine pleas to reconsider his stance by hitting them where it hurts: "Aim for the kid." Crosshair then sets things up to literally incinerate them, and they barely make it out alive before being attacked by Cad Bane.

Now, they had seen what the chip had done to Wrecker, true; but Wrecker had previously acknowledged that he understood the chip existed and was willing to have it removed, AND it was squad+Rex against Wrecker (and even then they barely managed to subdue him). Crosshair refused to acknowledge even the possibility of a chip influencing his actions, obviously wasn't willing to have it removed at that point, had never shown any inclination of wanting to rejoin them, and squad+Rex against Crosshair+vast Imperial resources would have been suicide - ESPECIALLY since Crosshair proves time and again that he can predict their moves. There's no way around that.

So what does the squad decide to do? They run. They can't take Crosshair with them, but they aren't going to try to kill him either.

Crosshair remains too well protected for the squad to go after him, but we can see on Hunter's face as the squad leaves Ryloth after peripherally tangling with Crosshair that the situation REALLY doesn't sit well with Hunter.

And yet... WHAT ELSE CAN THEY DO?

So, from Hunter+squad's perspective: as far as they are aware, Crosshair is refusing all offers of help, and trying to go after Crosshair would be suicide. Crosshair can't be rescued if the squad is all dead.

An impasse, then.

ANOTHER FACTOR TO CONSIDER:

But the accusation of disloyalty goes far beyond Crosshair believing the squad left him behind; he sees disloyalty in the fact that they apparently don't share the same views. It's not just a conversation about why/how Crosshair was left behind; it's also an argument over ideology, as Hunter tries to point out the Empire's flaws while Crosshair is determined to remain a soldier with the one purpose he has always known.

And then we reach the climactic revelation: Hunter is trying to convince Crosshair that maybe his views are being controlled by the chip - only for Crosshair to tell Hunter he already knows about it and the chip is gone, AND he won't even tell Hunter when it happened. We can make educated guesses as to when Crosshair's chip was removed, but Hunter has been spending all this time trying to keep everyone else on the squad safe from a fellow brother who is being controlled by an inhibitor chip... only to find out that maybe Crosshair was acting of his own volition for who knows how long. This, I believe, is the point where Hunter started to consider Crosshair as having actually betrayed the Batch.

And no matter when the chip was removed, Crosshair is still convinced that the Empire is the right side, and believes that anyone who won't join the Empire is against him.

So, before the confrontation on Kamino: Crosshair is convinced the squad has abandoned him. Hunter and the squad can't feasibly do anything about it.

During the confrontation on Kamino, we learn that unless the squad is willing to join Crosshair and the Empire, he's going to continue to believe they have disowned him. And the squad will not join the Empire, much as they love Crosshair.

CONCLUSION: Crosshair's and Hunter's perspectives are both equally valid, especially based on what they know and later learn of the other's stance. Hunter rightly points out that wanting different things doesn't mean they have to be enemies; but as long as the rest of the squad members aren't willing to support tyranny enforce order, Crosshair will consider them disloyal to him, since they are opposed to the views he stands by, the views that - at that moment - define him. It will take other perspectives, outside the squad, to shift Crosshair's views (but that's the topic of another essay 😉). In the meantime, having finally had the chance to hear the other's side - even if they don't agree - Crosshair and the Bad Batch separate on at least marginally civil - if strained - terms... Though both still consider the other to be guilty of betraying the ideals of Clone Force 99.

#the bad batch #tbb #star wars #star wars the bad batch #clone force 99 #this is longer than i intended it to be #sorry not sorry #from a certain point of view #tbb hunter #tbb crosshair #tbb analysis #just passing the time until the series finale #by (over)analyzing certain topics #still rooting for a full reunion #i love them all so much

thinking about a star wars au where, when luke skywalker asks if obi-wan knew his father, obi-wan responded that he didn't, but he did know luke's mother.

#star wars au #luke skywalker #obi-wan kenobi #because from a certain point of view obi-wan is correct #the anakin he knew would never have betrayed the jedi #but as it turned out he didn't know anakin that well did he?#in that instance he knew padme far better #and luke? clearly idolized his father in A New Hope #but his mom? He doesn't even know her name. He'd be DESPERATE to learn more about her #and as obi-wan tells him stories about her on their way to alderan luke might decide to change his name #and its luka amidala who blows up the death star #i don't think it would change much about the original trilogy but i do think it would be fun #star wars #padme amidala #darth vader
