Star Wars!

anyway sound off. at what stage do ppl think Han figured out the Force was real. the boring answer is after seeing Obi-wan vanish but i think he could rationalise that away as his eyes playing tricks on him. what do we think.

Let me demonstrate my answer for you:

That's it. That's my answer. Endor.

Please just take a look at Han's face right after witnessing 3po float. The man just had his entire worldview blown to smithereens.

that's so funny. that means he accepted Vader deflecting a blaster bolt with his hand as just something freaky government cyborgs can do, and stuck by Luke for multiple years as he tried to figure this Force stuff out, and just treated it like your friend getting really really into neopaganism to cope with a loss.

like yeah kid good job with the witching. i'm certain it will be more useful against your enemies than your sharpshooting. no i do not think your witchcraft is supplementing your aim but i'm not gonna argue about it.

yeah Luke was like 'I heard Ben Kenobi's voice in my head telling me how to blow up the Death Star :)' and Han was like 'kind of an unusual coping mechanism but I'm not gonna argue with him'

#Dealer: this is called The Force. It surrounds us penetrates us and binds the galaxy together. #Han: Yeah whatever old man I don't feel shit #*2 movies later* Han: I swear I just saw C3PO levitating #His buddy Chewie pacing: Wuuugh Wraauh wuh

This is hilarious actually

Who are you? Someone who loves you.

I think that “Anakin was a slave child who was groomed by Palpatine and raised by someone who wasn’t ready to take on a child, thereby leaving him in a social limbo state where he’s surrounded by people but only has a few close confidants, with the one he trusts the most actively trying to take advantage of him”

and

“Anakin was taught right from wrong from a young age, first by his mother and then by Kenobi, but any time he was presented with a choice, actively CHOSE WRONG EVERY SINGLE TIME”

are two sentences that can, should, and MUST coexist to fully understand Anakin Skywalker as a character

getting yelled at by the skywalker siblings

Apparently Judi Dench got bored one day and they created a Les Mis barricade character for her in  May 2004 for just one performance.

Holy shit that must have  been hilarious to see.

Here’s a picture:

Dame Judi Dench in Les Mis (May 2004)

“As the show started, the announcement was made: ‘At tonight’s performance the role of Javert will be played by Nic Greenshields, the role of Enjolras will be played by Alexis James, and in Act Two in the barricade scene Dame Judi Dench will appear as Madam Lafarge’.

“And, indeed, Dame Judi appeared in a suitably drab costume and mob-cap. She handed some ammunition up the barricade; she helped tie Javert to the chair; she was then hit by a flying bullet and sank dramatically over a table and was then helped offstage by one of the chorus. In total - say just under two minutes onstage!

“Dame Judi is appearing in the theatre next door and apparently has some 45 minutes between scenes. Yesterday she popped next door and said it would be fun if she could walk on at the start of the barricade scene since she had the time available and is a great fan of ‘Les Mis’. They had a quick five minute rehearsal between shows yesterday and tonight - on she went.” (source including more photos)

That is the best thing I’ve ever heard.

stuff they actually let happen on Star Wars: The Clone Wars

sorry for the long post but I just want to thank everyone for these tags. I’m shaking. Thank you so much.

palpatine staged his own kidnapping like some sort of kink service

I mean… yeah

Jabbas cousin ran off with a stripper and they got a bunch of blackmail on the hutts but then she killed him and went back to work for jabba

not only does Jar Jar fuck but Mace windu WALKED IN ON THEM

@psychologicalwarclaire I see what you mean now

Yoda and Palpatine had a whole entire fight with Yoda never actually realizing it was him.

There’s a Wilhelm scream like every other episode.

Anakin crashes a ship like every other episode.

Someone says “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” like every other episode.

Each episode opens with a sports announcer giving exposition.

One time a bunch of clones all tried to kill each other because a four-armed Jedi was clone racist.

There is an entire 4-episode long arc about the government corruption on Mandalore that wound up poisoning a bunch of school children.

Darth Maul built himself new legs and made himself taller than Obi Wan. OBI WAN THEN COMMENTS ON THIS WHEN THEY’RE FIGHTING.

don't hide firefox propaganda in the tags!! brb installing this rn

Rebellions are built on hope.

Rebellions are built on hope.

Owen Lars died a few days before the end of Revenge of the Sith

so when a bedraggled, light-haired and light-skinned man showed up on her doorstep carrying a child, Beru Whitesun saw a solution to all her problems: identity fraud to get out of paying death taxes to the Hutts and ensure she had enough help running the farm

she even got a free baby out of the deal, and was able to convince her totally-not-new 'husband' that this would keep him safe from the new Empire as well!

this does, of course, add an additional layer of awkwardness to the arrival of Artoo and Threepio at the start of A New Hope

--

Luke: hey Uncle Owen, these droids we bought say that they belong someone named Obi-Wan Kenobi who they claim lives near here, do you know who that could be?

'Owen,' sweating: he, uh, died

Luke: oh, did you know him then?

'Owen,' sweating harder: how about we just wipe these droids' memories in the morning and forget this whole conversation, how does that sound son??

gotta love Luke & Lando's first meeting. they just have 0 context for each other

Lando knows Luke is the guy Vader was hunting down in an insanely intense way and has probably figured that he's a really big deal in the rebellion but otherwise knows nothing about him? and then when they actually cross paths Luke is clutching onto the underside of Cloud City for dear life in a place where it makes NO sense for a person to be. & then he's just like the world's most beat up kid visibly teetering on the brink of mental collapse??

meanwhile from Luke's perspective he's just hanging on for dear life, probably not sure that Leia even heard his call for help, and then this handsome stranger comes to rescue him? and he's gotta be like hey. who are you and what the fuck have you done with Han.

anyway then both of them are like 'yeah this might as well happen.'
