Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 1): General Bracket Match 44

Lanitra | Identity: wlw | Media: Sana Starros comics

Lanitra was a mercenary in the employ of Deva Lompop and member of the small time syndicate the Genetian Collective. When Sana Starros and her family visited Deva for help retrieving Avon’s journals, Lanitra flirted with Sana. Sana was prepared to head off with Lanitra to take her mind off all the family drama, when Deva informed Sana that the Starroses would be helping her and Lanitra’s crew steal a rancor from a zoo on Hon-Tallos. Lanitra’s part of the plan was to free various animals in the zoo as a distraction. She described the zoo as more like a prison (although it was run by someone involved in animal smuggling) and said “Death to all tyrants” after “liberating” the zoo, although it's unclear if that was a bit. She liberated the zoo with no care for the threat the predators posed to visitors. Later, Lanitra helped Sana and Deva save her family from Phel. Afterwards, she and Sana had a one night stand. 

Ledaney | Identity: mlm | Media: Bloodline

Ledaney was a New Republic pilot and a member of an X-wing show squadron. During one scene, while the squadron is doing maintenance on their ships, Ledaney roasts Joph Seastriker for not being able to hold his drink on an earlier occasion, kind of mean spiritedly. Joph shot back ““I’m good, Ledaney. But what about you? Word has it you’ve been hitting the Corellian stuff pretty hard lately” in reference to Ledaney’s new Corellian boyfriend. The rest of the squadron responded to that with even more laughter. Ledaney was with the rest of his squadron in envying Joph for being able to go on real missions, which were more exciting than air shows. Therefore, he likely joined the Resistance with the rest of his squadron when the organization was first founded, despite being kind of an ass.

No I don't think a lot of people understand when I say Bail and Breha Organa are criminaly underrated.

This two knew the freaking most important and dangerous secrets in the entire galaxy. They BOTH knew about the rebelion, knew about important imperial figures that supported the rebelion in secret, they knew about the Alliance plans and next steps, they were SO DEEP into it. And they BOTH knew about Vader, they knew that he was once Anakin Skywalker, that he had a relationship with Padme and had two children together, they knew what happen on Mustafar, they knew the location of the other twin, they knew about Palpatine being a Sith, and they hide Leia from Palpatine and Vader for 20 freaking years, and they did it like it was nothing, like it was another family thing.

if anything the resistance should be more like the rebels in andor

#like we actually don't see *enough* politics in the sequel movies. love bloodline and leia but not everyone reads sw books #surely at the time of the movies there's gotta be pockets of resistance outside of leia's that are wayyyy more radical and unapologetic. #but it's interesting to draw up the similarities between [gestures] real-world reaction to Stuff Happening #and how the galaxy at large reacts to events post endor/jakku #mando is definitely doing the work. imagine if there's another saw-like character ohhh some ppl are gonna lose their minds #but what is it like 30 years later??? #we get a glimpse of it in the resistance cartoon #anyways. sw has been political since 1977. all the good and the bad. it's whatever. #maybe i should be more overt lmao #ooc. is it meemees?

[curetapwater]

My little sister who despises Star Wars said "maybe I'd watch them of they were all replaced with Sonic characters" and now I've got this very vivid image of the final confrontation from Return of the Jedi but Luke is Silver and Shadow is Darth Vader and Palpatine is Black Doom so that's a thing..

#geddit GEDDIT IT'S LIKE SHADOW WITNESSIMG HOW HE'S CONTINUING THE CYCLE OF HORRIBLE FATHERS IN THE SKYWALKER BLOODLINE #WATCHING HIS FATHER TORTURE HIS OWN GRANDSON UNTIL HE CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE AND YEETS HIM DOWN THE RANDOM HUGE HOLE #because sw architecture makes zero sense lmao

Was poking around AO3 for kicks and giggles, and I find it fascinating how so many folks can just go ah, yes, this story Inspires me to Create, while this…not so much.

I know this isn’t entirely fair given the discrepancy in the amount of media per franchise, but here are the AO3 works counts for Dune, Star Wars, and Star Trek, all sci-fi classics that also have new additions to their respective franchises.

Especially given how Star Wars itself draws heavy inspiration from Dune, I just find the differences in these numbers interesting! And I feel the same! SW does appeal to me a lot more than the bloodline obsession/freaky eugenics/religious manipulation themes of Dune, which also exists in SW but far less.

(Also, while I really loved Chani in the new film, I definitely personally did not feel any shipping sparks between her and Paul, I just wanted her to get away. The guy does NOT deserve her in any way. (then again, I also felt no shipping sparks between Padmé and Anakin, so this could just be a me thing…))

This also reminds me of how the James Cameron Avatar films are a huge fandom flop, despite the budget and blockbustery fanfare they got.

To be clear, I don't necessary think media needs to spark fandom creativity in order to be good or worthwhile, and there's plenty of stuff I enjoy without feeling the need to create, so this isn't meant to be a criticism per se.

But I was just contemplating about different media and themes that inspire me and makes me want to engage in a community, versus stuff that doesn't.

If you have any thoughts, feel free to share!

#YukiPri rambles #Star Wars #Dune #Star Trek #this is just me rambling but it felt like a Tumblr post #again folks have reasons to want/not want to watch these films and this post isn't about that #I didn't watch the new Avatar so can't really critique it #My only experience with Dune is the new movies though I've read up on the full story and #ngl it did not make me want to watch the older stuff or read the books #I have limited experience with Star Trek too #so I'm personally coming from a hugely Star Wars biased perspective but #hmm just thinkin the numbers be interesting

I’ve been thinking, and the more I think about it, the more suspicious this whole “witching event of the century” thing becomes to me.

I mean, okay. 5 out of 8 of the witches selected for the competition had no grand motivation for becoming the next Supreme Witch (as far as we know). Eloise specifically seems to see this whole thing as an excuse to have fun, make friends and get more powerful on top of that.

But then you get into the people who actually have backstories revealed, and, well.

Scott was living alone in the woods, desperately trying to learn advanced necromancy with no teacher and stolen books he only half-understood.

Shubble was traveling alone in a caravan, thinking that nobody likes her for her powers and she just makes everyone miserable by just being around them.

Prismarina was on the run from “them”, and only became a Water Witch because she literally dived into the ocean to escape them.

Joey was disowned because he manifested a dangerous power that was opposite to his family’s, and he pushes himself to learn an incompatible type of magic that doesn’t naturally come to him in order to return to them.

And Lauren. Poor Lauren was living alone in the desert to escape bullies who picked on her for not having any magic, and she attached herself to the first person she met since then, even though he literally burned her first.

Actually, when you think about it, ALL of the witches were living alone, presumably. They were isolated.

And Joey, Scott, and Lauren especially weren’t just alone. They were desperate too.

Let’s analyze Joey for a good example. He’d just lost the people who loved him, his home, and his security. Thrown out into the cold because of who he was. Then, not long after he came to terms with the gravity of his situation, an invitation is sent to him in a beam of pure white light. An Invitation to a contest that will (hopefully) grant him the powers to return to his family and be accepted.

It’s a miracle. It’s just what he needed.

But that begs the question... Why?

I mean, of course we know why the witches want to compete. We know that the SW needs a successor.

But... why them?

Lauren and Shubble were literal nobodies before this. Scott was a common theif stealing important tomes from traders and librarians. Joey was a member of a powerful, prestigious bloodline, sure, but the “was” there is the critical word. Pris was a literal fugitive. And Cupquake didn’t even WANT to be the next SW, but Mother Nature sent her on the path to that destiny in order to become a sort of hero. And we all know heroes are most often forced to follow the plot of their stories.

Why, out of all the witches in the world, would the Supreme Witch choose them?

I mean, I guess you could say she was feeling charitable. Even the contestants who didn’t win would grow in power, reaching almost their full potential. The SW is of failing health anyway, and who knows? Maybe she was a former nobody who won her own contest. Maybe she wanted to give the new generation’s contestants a chance. Maybe she was a good witch.

But... what if she wasn’t?

Hear me out. The Supreme Witch is being secretive and vague for a reason. A dark reason.

Maybe... she’s a liar. And maybe all the NPCs are in on it.

Take Ogien for example. She’s a rather rude witch, saying in Pris’s second episode that she “doesn’t have feelings”. She seems to not like Pris right out of the gate, and yet she’s the only one who tells her assigned contestant the full story. I mean,, not to base characters off of appearances, but she does look like a dark and regal villainess to me.

Ogien. What if she was completely and utterly talking out of her ass? What if nothing she said was the truth?

And if Ogien was lying, then, what if Mother Earth herself was also?

“But she’s Mother Nature!” I hear you say, “What reason would a good spirit like her have to lie to one of her followers?”

Let me remind you of something from the Book of Origins. The section on Nature Witches.

“Maker of vines, teller of lies.“

Now, why would that be at the very top of the description? Why are lies so heavily associated with nature witches? Why would the author of the book put so much emphasis on deceit?

Maybe some liars among the Nature Witches gave the others a bad name. Maybe there’s a stereotype among witchkind.

Or maybe this is foreshadowing. Maybe everyone associated with Mother Earth is destined to become caught in a web of lies. Because Mother Earth herself, as a deceitful spider with vine webbing.

And poor Cupquake has no idea.

Here’s my theory. The great challenge that everyone’s been invited to, the race to become the next Supreme Witch... is a total scam.

The SW doesn’t want these people to succeed her. Maybe she doesn’t want anyone to succeed her. Maybe no one will end up getting what they were promised.

But what could the SW want with these inexperienced outcasts? To drain their power, perhaps? To sacrifice them to the mentioned demon, if they even exist?

I guess we’ll find out.

And if this ends up being true, then obviously Cleo will figure this out. I mean, she’s Cleo!

But I don’t think she’ll be the one to realize first.

I think the first one to Know Too Much will be Eloise. Because she is an Illusion Witch. She knows what it’s like to be blinded. She knows how to tell when witches are being misleaded.

But the question is: will the witches be able to save themselves from this trap?

And if things go south, if they’re found out in turn... who will die?

#witchcraft smp #longpost #witchcraft smp theory #wcsmp #wcsmp theory #can't weait to see if i'm proven right #if this goes well it could be as dramatic as the life series #it's all a trap you see #if this turns out to be right then I will love wcsmp so much more #the supreme witch and her event is sus as all heck #and i want whoever it is to become the villain #also predicting right here if anyone dies it'll be lauren #and joey will be the reason why #and cupquake will either become a villain or a victim too #alright i'm done #let's see if i am galaxy brained

Leia being the first senator to realize about the first order winning power and becoming their first oppositor / making a parallel to / Bail being the first senator to realize about Palpatine's true colors and becoming his first oppositor, is something we need to talk more about.

Here’s my 3am thought. Ok so y’all know how Demise cursed Link and Zelda(and basically himself) to be reincarnated and how it’s always the Gerudo male, some random half asleep kid with Courage named Link, and a princess named Zelda…..how would zelda be reincarnated if, idk, someday the bloodline fell off? Zelda has always been within the Hyrule royal family, that hasn’t changed since SWS. What would happen if the Hyrule family bloodline ended? Would the cycle be broken? I’m like mega curious to hear what y’all have to say. And if there’s an official answer please tell me. Anyway night ✌️

Natalie Portman stated that she's open to returning to SW, but has not been asked to. Seeing that they refuse to even say Padme's name in the Obi-wan series. Or refer to her at all in Ahsoka so far, as if Anakin went to the DS out of freaking no where. I'm starting to wonder if its because Padme reminds many a DLF employee of that one girl who stood them up when they were 13 for the popular kid and wiping out her entire bloodline was their pathetic version of payback? Her nieces are no longer canon so I wouldn't be the least bit shocked.

Padmé represents compassion, cannot be mentioned without reinforcing Anakin's vulnerability and humanity as Vader, and as a character is inherently tied to both Big Romance and motherhood. It won't be a shock to me if the clowns at DLF try to ignore her as much as possible.

The other option, as we've seen before with the terrible tie-in books, is making her a 'badass' Strong Female CharacterTM who shoots her problems to death, throws out cringey tumblr gotcha lines, and totally dumped Anakin in that scene where she begs him to run away with her.

sith inquisitor story is boring... let's fix it

so... i've been thinking about what exactly was wrong with it and how it could've been improved, and one of the things was that writers really failed the whole "old ways vs new ways" dynamic between inquisitor and Thanaton, because despite them being a slave (most likely from non imperial space, probably alien, who discovering force much later in life and never even heard about it before) it's INQUISITOR who actually relies on the old ways (literally ancient ghosts) and just so happens to be from an old powerful bloodline as an (absolutely unneeded) explanation for inquisitor being able to shoot lightnings out of their ass.

SOooo instead, try to imagine this:

Inquisitor is still a slave, but that's it. no distant fancy bloodline, no ghost grandpa to save the day, nope! you're on you own BUT you have a lot of raw power, which naturally draws Zash's attention.

Instead of getting random artifacts the whole first chapter (which you do but about it later), the plot is about inquisitor kind of learning about Vitiate and Zash theorizing about how does one manage to live so long. And to spice things up, from time to time she says stuff like: "well maybe his body DID get old, he just changes them... oh well :)". So they still go to planets, but this time they're picking up valuable information related to Vitiate and immortality, maybe relics that make you (who isn't dumb) VERY suspicious about Zash's intentions.

THANATON IS THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE USING GHOSTS, and inquisitor is the one who should be searching for possibilities to cut his connections to them! So they have to use the most unorthodox things (at least by empire standards) to win: alliance with aliens, imperials (that most sith have a very low opinion of), non-force sensative people, technical weapons, traps, anything that is considered "weak" by the """true""" sith.

and your companions would actually make much more sense: Ashara - there are things to learn even from your enemy, Xelek is a proof that you can be any species and be powerful non the less, Talos, a talented historian, helps you to learn what artifacts/ghosts Thanaton uses (despite being non-force sensitive), Andronicus as an unconventional ally that most sith would dispose of immediately or at least wouldn't even consider keeping him around, but you gain more by just being a good and respectful leader. and Khem... maybe Khem is learning to adapt in a new world? And you constantly challenge him to stop concentrating on his past?

you know make the story really show how stagnating the empire actually is. LS inquisitor actually tries to improve things, meanwhile DS inquisitor is just like malgus, war is a war we have to win no matter what BUT also inquisitor (as a former slave) is much more cruel and manipulative especially towards high ranking imperials and sith traditionalists. Cycle of abuse and all that.

and in the end of it all, you also help some dark consul members (with diplomacy on Voss, and with your unorthodox mini army of aliens on Correlia like JC) so you're allowed to face Thanaton on Korriban like SW faced Baras. Using your new knowledge, you cut his connection to force ghosts showing that his power wasn't really his own, and that to become stronger you have to be able to learn and change

...anyway thanks for joining me in my "bioware just hire me" rant, i'm here every day of the week

This is what I don't understand about Rey why is she named Skywalker when she is the granddaughter of Palatine simple Disney just wanted to erase the whole Skywalker line and have SW their own accords without the original contents that made it so famous in the first place and no I won't ever shut up about it cause SW has always and forever will be the evolving story around the true bloodline of the Skywalker family whether if people want to accept it or not minus Rey

Also tbh if they really cared about opening up with doing an female lead they should've went with an already knowing existence extended canon woman like Idk Mara Jade
