my brother thinks it would have been hilarious in the middle of the clone wars if they’d just straight up killed anakin off and kept going. the fans would be confused and be like “i guess this show is an au?” but lucasfilm would be like “no it’s canon this takes place before revenge of the sith” and refused to explain how that worked and there would be absolutely no continuity the clone wars would just be a frickin train wreck and it’d just steamroll right through without any clues as to how it lined up with rots or the original trilogy but somehow being 100% canon anyway while the fans went nuts

and now i think i know why he likes the last jedi

why do people think hinny is forced and unrealistic the fact that ginny was a MOTHERFLIPPIN’ WEASLEY, which is one of the most AWESOME FAMILIES IN FICTION, would have been more than enough reason if anything it should have happened sooner i mean you can’t tell me not once until he noticed ginny was pretty did harry think ‘you know ron’s family would be the best inlaws ever’ speaking from personal experience harry is one of the luckiest guys EVER ship hinny and don’t take that away from him


L.J.: I like Hinny fine, ships were the last thing on my mind about HP anyway, but I still think the ship and Ginny herself still deserve an argument that focuses on her individual merits instead of her family’s.

How Kylo feels about Han: didn’t hate him
What he does: impales him to further his descent into darkness

How Kylo feels about Leia: Kylo cared enough not to pull the trigger
What he doesn’t do: cry or seem in any way grieved when she dies

How Kylo should feel about Luke: love him as an uncle
What Kylo does to Luke: PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPE

How Kylo feels about Snoke: looks up to him as a mentor and father substitute
What Kylo does to Snoke: stabs him in the back (or more accurately, through the side) to take his place as supreme power of darkness

How Kylo feels about Rey according to canon: sees her as a potential ally but ultimately hates her guts
is deeply in love with her and wants her to marry him
What Kylo wants to do to Rey in canon: kill her and everyone she loves
What Kylo would do if Reylo happened: kill her, cry about it, and kill everyone she loves

No matter how much Kylo Ren cares about someone he’s going to kill them as a sacrifice to the dark side. Even if Reylo were real Kylo would still try to kill Rey. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Comparing Finnrey to romantic Lukeleia… YIKES.


L.J.: Funny how EVERY INTERRACIAL COUPLE EVER gets comments along the lines of “brotp!” and “siblings!” and so on, isn’t it? As @diversehighfantasy pointed out, it’s just another way of saying their having sex would be an abomination. This, disregarding the fact that Finn and Rey’s dynamic was nothing like Luke and Leia’s beyond being friends. Did Luke pour out his deepest secrets to Leia in a blatantly romantic scene? Did Luke cry out Leia’s name in a soul-rending scream? Did Leia overcome a lifetime of trauma to stand over Luke, defending him with her life? Did Leia lie down with Luke to die with him, crying on his chest like her heart was breaking in two?

no matter how bad you feel about yourself you are not the last jedi

you’re at least attack of the clones

and you’re probably return of the jedi to be honest

or revenge of the sith depending on your ranking

and i guarantee there’s at least one person who thinks you’re the empire strikes back

now go out there and be a relatively flawed but ultimately amazing human being

and don’t listen to the director in your head telling you to betray yourself and those who love you

fire that director

hire gareth edwards instead

because gareth edwards understands you and will make you an objectively good movie

indisputably original and on par with the greats even if it’s not everyone’s cup of tea

which i know people say about the last jedi but i defy you to name one person who hates rogue one

like actually hates it

the way people hate the last jedi

you can’t

you can’t name a single person

so i guess i’m saying just aspire to be rogue one

because even if you can’t

i know from experience choking on your aspirations is hard

but the worst star wars prequel isn’t as bad as the last jedi

and if you can just be attack of the clones, that’s good enough

you can work your way up

and you’ll find someone who thinks you’re the best star wars movie ever

anyway that’s my inspirational message everyone

signed, the phantom menace
