also i stole a pen today because i thought it said tarkin on it but it turned out it says tarkett not sure if thats better or worse

this is my oc, tarkin’s twin sister… Tarkette

I went googling for “female Tarkin” only to learn Tarkin had both a wife and a girlfriend in the eu and I will never be the same again

Also Tarkeia is Canon, y’all.

Yeah that’s why Tarkin being gay or bi is up in the air so much. Because of the quasi canonness of a girlfriend and wife.

Also, Tarkin is his last name. 

Tarkin: Not the LGBT representation we want

I feel like I know too much abt Grand Moff Tarkin already and if I were to learn his first name I might be sucked into a hell dimension. He’s Tarkin Tarkin as far as I’m concerned, or Tarkon Tarkin or Targetpractice Tarkin or

This isn’t even the first time reylos have claimed economics as a reason their ship will happen. I saw a post saying Disney would be crazy to pass on cash cow reylo babies. But Rey is just as capable of having babies with Finn, the guy she already finds attractive and has a deep bond with? I wonder why shippers think finnrey babies wouldn’t be as lucrative.

It would ruin the aesthetic.

Gotta have those pure white Skywalkers, even though the Solo babies would have been biracial Black if George had his way and his own youngest baby Everst Lucas is biracial Black. Which, btw, I think is a point that supports Finnrey, even though Lucas doesn’t run the show anymore.

Do it for Everest.

Hold up, what’s this about the Solo babies being biracial? Were Han or Leia originally supposed to be Black?

Han was originally conceived and cast as Black. Many Black actors, including Billy Dee Williams, auditioned for the part, and it ultimately went to Glynn Turman (true story). Lucas did not have 100% control, and the studio got cold feet because Han was being set up to possibly have a relationship with Leia, so he was recast with Harrison Ford.

So, if Lucas had been allowed to cast his first choice (Turman), and everything else was the same, Kylo Ren would be Black.

If Han had been played by Glynn as originally envisioned Luke/Leia would have been a MUCH bigger ship and Skycest fans would be bitching to this day about how their ship should have been canon. Since I, like you, believe Rey and Kylo are siblings I think that scenario is belatedly becoming reality with Reylo and Finnrey. Reylos and assorted anti Finnreys are never ever going to stop bellyaching if/when Finnrey becomes canon.

They may have been evil, but they were very, very good. Finn studied all the historic battles over and over again as part of his training, told about the Empire’s mistakes and how the First Order would avoid them.

He studied the Rebels’ infiltration of the imperial records depository at Scarif, how a team led by the traitors Bodhi Rook and Jyn Erso, the ruthless assassin and spymaster Cassian Andor, and the cult-bred killers Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus infiltrated the installation and destroyed the planet in a deadly suicide mission.

He learned about the Battle of Yavin, where Princess Leia Organa–after all these years still a menace to peace and order–lured the Death Star to the Rebels’ base and an ambush, where Luke Skywalker destroyed the station with one well-placed shot, snuffing out the thousands of lives within.

He read about the Battle of Hoth where the Rebels eluded the Empire’s pursuit yet again, about the Battle of Endor where the Rebellion moved together like the parts of a symphony. Finn found himself glued to the screen as he learned, through reports and surviving archival footage, how the smuggler Han Solo led a ground assault to  disable the Second Death Star’s shields while Admiral Gial Ackbar, at large and a threat like Organa, joined battle in space. All this was only a cover, however, for Luke Skywalker to board the battle station and murder Darth Vader and the helpless Emperor. Criminal kingpin Lando Calrissian finished the job in another act of wanton destruction, an assault so reckless, so foolhardy it should have failed by all rights but somehow succeeded brilliantly.

Finn used his own time to delve deeper into these battles, reading past lights-out until he was caught and got in trouble. He told himself as he dug out a drainage ditch as punishment that he wasn’t getting too deep into the history of the Rebellion, he just wanted to know the enemy so he could beat them this time around.

But by Space, those Rebels were good. It was no wonder a terrorist group had toppled the mighty Empire. If the First Order learned more from their enemies’ tactics it would be unstoppable, and unlike the Rebellion whose puppet government was already crumbling, the Order’s victory would be a lasting one based on justice and the rule of the Supreme Leader.

Nevertheless, the sense of awe at the sheer skill of these terrorists stayed with Finn. That was why, when faced with one of those legends, the smuggler, criminal, the terrorist Han Solo in the flesh, the words burst out as though they had been caught in his throat the entire time:

“Wasn’t he a war hero?!”

OH MY GOD, END ME NOW, I LOVE THIS!!!! Finn as the scholar, drawing from the heroes of the past, (and also not having time for Han’s bullshit) BRILLIANT CONCEPT, 13/10, the bit about the Rogue One being lead by traitors, I”M SCREAMING IN THE CLUB

What do you want to bet the OT trio and the Rogue One crew (’CAUSE THEY’RE NOT DEAD, LINDA) get Finn to tell them how the FO curriculum describes them and compete to see which is the best? “’Traitor?’ Not bad, but needs more spice. I did a lot more than that!” “Assassin and spymaster! Accurate, yet badass.” “Who did you pay to get them to call you ‘criminal kingpin,’ you scoundrel? I was there, you were small-time.” “Oh please, like anyone can beat cult killers?”

HEADCANON ACCEPTED (Bodhi wins. Everyone else has to chip in to buy him lunch, which they would totally do anyway, but this way they get to all kvetch a bit. )

So when will Star Wars fandom stop defending Lando the traitor/Imperial sympathizer? He’s worse than Hux.

I mean Lando Calrissian, fashion icon, is certainly worse at being an imperial/FO sympathizer than Huuurk, given that Lando single-handedly blew up the second Death Star while Fux merely lost Starkiller Base through incompetence. Lando is worse at being a traitor too, since he risked his life to save the man he was forced to hand over to Vader, while Hiccup colluded in the cold-blooded murder of his own father.

So you got me there, anon. Lando Calrissian, fashion icon, is definitely worse at being a fascist and traitor than Armpit Tux. But then again hardly anyone can beat Greasy Ginger Weasel, Jr. at being a shitstain on humanity, so what can you do.

How was Luke even affected by his “father’s” death? Vader was barely a person and never loved Luke in the first place. Kylo used to love Han, but Snoke tore them apart and caused Han to go smuggling.

There is such a thing as mourning a relationship you might have had, a person you could have known but never got to. Children of abusive or absent parents can attest to this very well. Not every person who had a bad or neglectful parent feels this grief for what might have been, of course. They might, indeed, feel nothing or even relief at the death of that parent. Leia, for instance, doesn’t seem to have felt much af a connection to Vader or particular grief at his death for very understandable reasons–she grew up with parents she knew and loved, for one thing–and I am very glad that her response is presented to be as valid as Luke’s.

That said, the fact that some children of inadequate or hurtful parents feel no grief at their parents’ passing does not invalidate the pain that other such children feel at the same event. I’m frankly angry that you feel the need to devalue Luke’s very real grief at losing a father he had dreamed of since childhood. And for what? To woobify the mass-murdering patricidal Vader fanboy?

So here’s an exceedingly modest proposal for you, anon: There is no need to shit on Luke’s loss to empathize with Kylo Ren’s.

Here’s modest proposal number 2: If you don’t want to lose your father, NOT SHOVING A DEADLY WEAPON INTO HIS GUTS IS A FUCKING GOOD START.
