FINAL DAY! Preorders for Force Fatale close TODAY at 11:59PM CDT! Featuring art, writing, and cosplay from over 100 creators, and 64 different characters, Force Fatale is a love letter to the incredible women in the Star Wars universe!
"Do we need more women in Star Wars? No we don't, women don't even watch Stars Wars. They don't care about it. It's a man's little thing."
The absolute disgust I felt hearing her say those words. I don't know where her insecurity is coming from, but it's not welcome here.
The women of Star Wars, including women fans, are so, so incredible. I am thankful everyday for this platform, and other social media because it allows me to partake in Star Wars.
It's a dishonor to Carrie Fisher, who portrayed a badass Rebellion leader princess, who lost her entire planet, and still persevered. Princess Leia, who has been teaching girls how to be brave and independent.
It's a dishonor to Natalie Portman, who portrayed a cunning, political queen who wasn't afraid to pursue her own happiness. Padmè Amidala, who has been teaching girls to never stop caring about the things you love.
It's a dishonor to Ashley Eckstein and Rosario Dawson, who have portrayed a fearless, insightful padawan who has set aside the pressures of society and followed her instincts. Ahsoka Tano, who has been teaching girls to trust your gut.
It's a dishonor to Daisy Ridley, who portrayed a terrified but adamant orphan who rose to the challenge and saved the world. Rey Skywalker, who has been teaching girls that no matter who you are, there is a place for you here.
I have had this amazing fanart as my phone's wallpaper for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, I no longer remember when or where I found it otherwise I would credit the original artist who shares their incredible talent. Either way, it's too amazing to not be shared, so here it is!!
Apparently some other "kind" Tumblr user found the artist, so credit for the trio goes to @jenbartel! The image with the Rebel Alliance logo was found at link above.
"They stole my youth and promised peace. The men start wars, yet Coruscant hates Ahsoka. Girl's women's hearts are lethal weapons. Did you hold mine and feel threatened?"
During this scene in Rogue One, you can hear “May the Force be with You” announced over the PA.
Earlier, they called for Hera from the PA. We know she was there and went to Scarif.
And I had this terrible thought that it’s not that long after Kanan. I wondered if Hera ever, like, flinched, when she heard those words again. As the rebellion took up the Jedi’s blessing as their own clarion call, how long would it take not to hurt as she heard those words over and over? How long would it take to go from flinch to ache to dull ache to acceptance? To forgive the Force? To go on and to say those words for Kanan? For the Jedi? For everyone who was willing to give their all?
Women of Star Wars - completed earlier this year of some of the characters who I have created digital portraits for. Already need to add a few more rows! [x]
