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.

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”
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
August 11, 2025 at 4:16 PM
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

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.
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)

All they talk is about “Phasma wasted” this, leading to “Finn wasted” that, leading to “every side character is sidelined”….

Not enough people talk about this duel.

The last two points are massive reasons for the Star Wars sequel trilogy getting too much “backlash”:

1. Too many bad or going-in-to-hate takes that never gave the movies a chance or properly looked at most items.

2. Extreme hate has made it hard for the ST and ST fans to break out of our bubbles.

Because I can’t read Legacy of Vader legally, I decided to buy a Daredevil origin comic instead. The Man without Fear.

Sometimes I think that the Star Wars sequel trilogy’s “bad reputation” online is a little too underwhelmingly exaggerated.

But I oftentimes also think that they’re victims of:
1. Deceptive marketing
2. Bad media literacy
3. Backlash from the affected fanbase (from the two points before)
