My name is Ben (not Kenobi), 20-ish, and I'm here to sit back and relax in a more peaceful space when it comes to talking about Star Wars. Thank you for having me, and May The Force Be With You!

Gonna log off this account temporarily for resting and re-entering my depression era, got fired after being hired for a freelance thing a week after onboarding.

Feel free to unfollow if this acc bothers you but I hope you’ll still stay with me right after this is over. Thank you for understanding.

Name a non LOTR character who could resist the one ring:

Cardinal Benitez. He went through a lot in the Conclave story, and he basically almost rejected his papacy because of “physical limitations”. Fortunately Lawrence saw the best in him.

(Second Star Wars one from me, but I’ve also gotta give some credit to Ezra Bridger)

Rey Skywalker strongly resisted the dark side and defeated Palpatine, so if she can defeat both darkness and oppression, she can resist the one ring and defeat Sauron in extension. I'm 100% certain of it. Rey Skywalker wins, No Diff.

Randomly listened through Eric Clapton’s Tears in Heaven. Bringing back some old memories in which my father first introduced me to this beautiful tune.

Been four years after his passing.

Ah. Noted, I’ll see what I can do to watch it.

Ben(edict) Solo @solobenedict.bsky.social · Aug 17

Short elaboration:
The way it encompasses a complicated love story in conjunction to time travel element, depicting that change and growth is never easy for someone under the theme of trauma and loss… that’s peak to me.

Ben(edict) Solo @solobenedict.bsky.social · Aug 17

I had my doubts watching Rebirth. What did you feel about it?

Just watched a local movie a couple days ago, called Sore: Istri Dari Masa Depan (Sore: Wife from The Future). Proud to call it an absolute Indonesian cinema.

Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac were perfect casting choices for our new trio.

Maz Kanata feels like she's been a part of Star Wars forever.

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy is 10 years old, say something you like about it

I like when Unkar Plutt gives Rey “one quarter portion”

I should change my name to “I don’t talk Star Wars anymore because clearly the actors knew better than the writers and me”

Star Wars Holocron @swholocron.bsky.social · Aug 11

John Boyega recently revealed how he envisioned the sequel trilogy would go after The Force Awakens, including Finn becoming a Jedi and becoming enemies with Rey.

Read what Boyega envisioned here: theholofiles.com/2025/08/11/j...

The whole cast is phenomenal

The Force Dyad dynamic
First Order designs
Basically all the casting of new characters
New/integrated Force powers
First Yellow lightsaber in LA
The treatment of the OG characters (I still wished for more Leia though 😭)
The hype surrounding it
Me coming out of theatres feeling like a kid again

This was dynamite casting.

Yeah, Secrets of The Force Awakens. It’s a Blu-ray bonus extra of the movie.

Watching the documentary videos for the SWST is very refreshing, healthy even, as a form of art appreciation. My take is, these projects will always be something special - they're some of the finest outputs and thoughtful collaborative efforts - regardless of the parts you don't dig.

Ben(edict) Solo @solobenedict.bsky.social · Aug 10

Just finished five different SW production docs last night.

Rank:
1. The Director and The Jedi (still strong after rewatch)
2. The Skywalker Legacy
3. Disney Gallery: TBOBF
4. Secrets of TFA
5. OWK: A Jedi’s Return

Mind you, none of these could top Empire of Dreams and Legacy Revealed.

I really hope we see them again at some point (also I love how Shand has a space SVD, it's a cool blaster rifle)

(I know Legacy Revealed is not a production documentary but still, it’s a lovely narrative companion to the original six movies of the saga when you started marathoning those films)
