Leia: Sam Raimi Enthusiast (Spooky Season)🇵🇷🏳‍⚧ @madamephosphorus.bsky.social · 7h

This is gonna be a thread. In The Force Awakens, Leia makes a point that Snoke is the reason Ben turned, not because his grandfather was Darth Vader. And the fact that Leia believed that there was still light in him and told Han to bring him back home.

It's made apparent that neither Rey or Luke would've been the ones to save him, it was Leia. But Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly only committed to that for like 6 seconds before they killed him. Kylo Ren wasn't compelling in DOTF cause Trevorrow and Connolly don't know how to write villains.

On Crait, Luke tells Leia that he came to face Ben, not to save him. Which leads to the most famous line exchange of the entire trilogy.

"I held out hope for so long. I know my son is gone."

"No one's ever really gone."

Luke never said Ben couldn't be saved. He said HE isn't the one who can.

In The Last Jedi, Snoke calls out Ben twice that despite killing Han, Ben was still conflicted.

"You have too much of your father's heart in you, young Solo."

And when he said when the moment came he didn't hesitate, Snoke said the act "split his spirit to the bone." and that he's "unbalanced."

Feel like any Democrat still trying to tack right on anything should take note that Marjorie Taylor Green is trying to get to the left of her party.

Palpatine originally told Anakin “I love you” in REVENGE OF THE SITH novelization, but George Lucas removed the line

“Love is so alien to the mindset of the dark side that Palpatine can’t comprehend why a lie like that might persuade someone”

I shared this video through @redpopnews.bsky.social about the Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration at the Getty because it was beautiful to share our cultures and to be appreciated for who we are as Native people beyond the Hollywood tropes and Stereotypes and not as relics of the past.

Like is it pro fascist apologia, or is it an attempt to appeal to book tok.

Because I've seen people attack it from all sides of the spectrum. With little thought beyond the vibes they don't like.

Someone pointed out there's 6 Star Wars novels coming up that have a focus on male characters and fighting, but of course, the one with two women and the one focusing on romance is too much for many. A sign of everything from bad. No matter how incongruous.

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to her, but she’s at least aware of what’s happening politically right now in a way that almost every one of her colleagues is not.

Like a star from the last trilogy mocked us, several other authors LF has hired have been vocal about thinking it sends a bad message too. If anything, it's more a split.
