How would you rank the 30+ planets and moons visited in the Star Wars Movies as places to live on? (Naboo, Coruscant, Kamino, Geonosis, Utapau, Kashyyyk, Mygeeto, Felucia, Cato Neimoidia, Saleucami, Mustafar, Alderaan, Corellia, Mimban, Vandor-1, Kessel, Savareen, Lah’Mu, Wobani, Jedha, Eadu, Scarif, Tatooine, Yavin IV, Hoth, Dagobah, Bespin, Endor, Jakku, Takodana, Starkiller Base (Technically a planet), Hosnian Prime, D’Qar, Ahch-To, Catonica, & Crait). Some of them are from Order 66.
It doesn’t seem like a good sign that five of the planets on this list were completely obliterated/are no longer habitable. Rather than ranking them individually I’ll put them into loose categories.
Good place to live:
Coruscant. That’s it. Well-developed, center of galactic civilization, has plot immunity to the extent they created Hosnia just to be destroyed in its place.
Good places to live, with caveats:
Naboo, as long as you are not a Palpatine. You’re fine if your first name is Sheev, though.
Kamino, if you like water and biotechnology.
Kashyyk, if you like forests and are seven feet tall.
Felucia, if you like jungles.
Cato Neimoidia, if you are a merchant prince.
Saleucami, if you are a deserting Clone Trooper.
Kessel, if you are the royal family.
Savareen, if you like brandy.
Lah-mu, if your last name is not Erso.
Yavin IV, just watch out for space battles.
Bespin, if you stick to Cloud City.
Endor, if you are a sentient teddy bear.
Takodana, if you can avoid being randomly massacred by invading assholes.
D’Qar, just don’t miss the evacuation transports. Or maybe you should miss them. Idk.
Ahch-To, but watch out for troubled teens randomly wrecking stuff.
Cantonica, unless you want to put your fist through this whole lousy beautiful town.
Bad places to live, with reasons:
Geonosis. Too many giant insects and gladitorial combat.
Utapau. Too many sinkholes.
Mygeeto and Hoth. Too cold.
Mustafar. Too much lava.
Corellia. Too much crime and pollution.
Mimban and Dagobah. Too swampy.
Vandor-1. Too barren.
Wobani. Too imperial labor camp.
Eadu. Too rainy.
Tatooine. Too dry.
Jakku. Dump.
Crait. Too salty.
Do not visit under any circumstances:
Alderaan
Jedha
Scarif
Starkiller Base
Hosnian Prime
Do you have a favorite line in your story?
A number of different ones for different reasons, but here’s one that doesn’t need much context:
“Sister, can I help it that I am twice the woman other women are?”
– My heroine, when told disapprovingly that her wedding clothes will take twice the amount of cloth other women need because she is fat
i mean if im black and can recognize anti-asian ideology and fetishism and can take steps to unlearn that shit, asian folks can learn how to not be anti black
the unlearning of oppressive bullshit should be mutual
It’s because too many of us, talking about mostly East Asians here, believe the lie that we are close to being white people and can prove it by being racist ourselves against Black and brown people. Yes, we are fucking idiots.
U.S. is denying passports to Americans along the border, throwing their citizenship into question
Don’t think it can’t happen here, it’s already happening.
“On paper, he’s a devoted U.S. citizen.
His official American birth certificate shows he was delivered by a midwife in Brownsville, at the southern tip of Texas. He spent his life wearing American uniforms: three years as a private in the Army, then as a cadet in the Border Patrol and now as a state prison guard.
But when Juan, 40, applied to renew his U.S. passport this year, the government’s response floored him. In a letter, the State Department said it didn’t believe he was an American citizen.
As he would later learn, Juan is one of a growing number of people whose official birth records show they were born in the United States but who are now being denied passports — their citizenship suddenly thrown into question. The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown on their citizenship.”
Just watch. Soon it’ll be all of us.
Got some writing in before the baby woke, although I think of it more as filling in for not writing yesterday. Will try to get in more writing during naptime.
Unite the Right Organizer’s Dad Interrupts Livestream: ‘Get Out of My Room’
That is endlessly satisfying but I kinda wish he wouldn’t. One of these alt-right shitstains stabbed his own father to death last year over similar disagreements (link). These are by definition violently authoritarian people, though in most situations they’re dipshit cowards who talk big. Confronting them, to say nothing of publicly humiliating them, could be dangerous.
Unite the Right Organizer’s Dad Interrupts Livestream: ‘Get Out of My Room’
Conservative here, why does someone think we hate cities and industrialization? I thought the stereotype was that conservatives were all for oil drilling and urbanization and destroying the environment. Or is this like a redneck thing? Also, to that specific anon, interpreting Cain as a hero is even worse than interpreting Kylo Ren as one, please try to have a little religious sensitivity.
I’ve been thinking a little about that, and I think the confusion is due to the double-dealing inherent in fascist rhetoric. On the one hand fascism decries the degeneracy of modern society, invoking a return to simpler times. On the other fascism uses modern institutions to the fullest for repressive ends. So it’s not the whole of modernity that fascists oppose, but rather the modern values of pluralism, egalitarianism, and human rights. The aim of fascism is to use modern means for pre-modern ends, and that’s how I think fascist rhetoric plays both to cities and rural populations.
Heck, I don’t even think fascism is a purely right-wing/conservative phenomenon, because it can peel away support from the left by being economically leftist at least for favored groups. But that’s another subject altogether.
Also I’m guessing you’re going to HATE my planned meta about Kylo Ren being a Christian hero in the worst sense. The way Kylostans talk about him smacks of the prodigal son and cheap grace, so I can see his appeal to a culturally Christian audience. The reception of him appeals to the Western Christian id, the worst instincts of a dominant group to paper over atrocities with “forgiveness” for the sake of a false peace.
They’re archivist from varying backgrounds- Amara a child born in the Void whose parents crash landed into the city, Tia her friend (and love interest) a girl raised in the Ports of said city, Udana the child of an ailing temple and Amni, a non-verbal Autistic girl who communicates through signed Sumerian cuneiforms and with the help of a strangely intelligent cat…
OMG they’re all girls? I love that! And they all sound so varied and interesting! This is a Sumer-based space civilization, then?
@bubblepunk99s I’m loving all these characters. And I know what it’s like, having more complexity and detail than could ever be conveyed with a summary. Pls pls write this story!!
