The LEGO Star Wars shows are so underrated honestly. They’re absolutely hilarious, the voice acting is great, the jokes are clever, the action is imaginative and well-directed, and they utilize a surprising amount of lore from the books.
They’re just really high-quality shows that are more knowledgeable of the Star Wars mythos than the ‘actual’ SW shows such as The Clone Wars and Rebels, and they make fun of the sillier aspects of George’s work but they’re never disrespectful to the SW legacy.

right now you might be in a situation that you think you won’t survive but six months ago you were in a situation that you didn’t think you’d survive and two years before that you were in a situation you didn’t think you’d survive and the point is you will always surprise yourself and you will always make it through

dark Star Wars show me a woman who’s not a white brunette

As I recall, the Queen of Naboo after Padme was named Queen Jamillia, and (though its not immediately obvious due to the Naboo make-up) she was played by Indian actress Ayesha Dharker.

Indeed, she was also in Doctor Who

There’s now also

Still though, it seems every woman featured in the SW films has dark hair, so that’s something. [Unless you count Phasma as being blonde?]
I also feel I should note that, as always, the Expanded Universe and now the New Canon are leagues ahead of the films as far as representation is concerned (and in general tbh). But yes, the SW films are still bizarrely unadventurous in the diversity of their female characters and that needs to change.

i love kissing so much how it can be soft and romantic or hard and passionate or lazy and sleepy or affectionate and then it’s like you like the person and they like you because you are kissing and it’s just you two and you can close your eyes and there will be nothing in the world except that

did the aliens from star wars just enjoy that band in the cantina playing the exact same fucking song over and over again or was it a situation like that diner with Whats New Pussycat on repeat

considering that han solo was in that cantina, I think we all know the answer

and then when i was about to request the song for the seventh time, my buddy chewbacca, genius that he is, stopped me and said “rrrRrrrghghghhHh”. and that is when the afternoon went from good to great.

what does “men who adhere to strict gender binary” even mean tho

NO ONE adheres to the gender binary! NO ONE FITS THEIR GENDER ROLE PERFECTLY! THAT’S THE POINT! AARRRGGH! 

NOOOOO OOOOONE…. ADHERES TO THE GENDER BINARY LIKE GASTON!

when I try to hear this in my head my mental voice is incapable of pronouncing it fast enough to fit the timing of the line

“noooo oooone… adjksjfksfjslenry like Gaston!”

and when I try to fit it to one of the longer such lines, my mental voice becomes too confused about conflicting scansion to continue

no one’s droll like gaston
no one’s swole like gaston
no one fits his assigned gender role like gaston

I’m especially fond of the paaaatriaaarchy
My what a guy that gastooon

me, sitting cross-legged in your fridge when you go for a drink in the middle of the night: gray morality can be an effective storytelling technique but it should not be considered a necessity in order to tell a good story because when handled wrong it carries the implication that atrocities are justifiable as long as they’re committed in the interest of fulfilling an ostensibly noble goal, and it is so often handled wrong
