Heir to the Empire - Timothy Zahn
3.5/5 - Solid entrance to the trilogy, SO much of modern Star Wars should be thanking Zahn for the logic he sets up here
5 years post-RotJ, the New Republic has a fragile hold on the galaxy, but the Empire still lurks in the shadowy corners.
This was my first foray into the Star Wars literary canon universe (RIP) and it was actually a lot of fun! Zahn manages to capture the voices of Luke, Han, and Leia in a surprisingly distinct fashion while creating a villain that is sufficiently clever so as to be terrifying. I may be biased because I enjoyed Rebels, but I digress.
The introduction of (mad) Jorus C'Baoth, a clone of an older Jedi master, makes the whole plot much more interesting and raises the stakes for both sides. Despite Thrawn using C'Baoth, the Jedi is so clearly unstable that it's unlikely to be a tenable command. I thought C'Baoth's insistence on bending people to his will was almost gross in its desire at times, but he plays his role well.
The book does lose itself at times in technical descriptions and Mara/Luke's trek through the forest takes a bit longer than it should, in my opinion.
Meanwhile, Leia is just as cool and capable as she's ever been, and I really enjoyed Zahn showing that she was frustrated and struggling with her Jedi abilities, particularly since they're never mentioned with any seriousness. Han was sweet and obsessed with her, as he should be, but this further explains Han's connections in the underworld. Lots of space-politicking, which I really liked, and a solid entrance to the trilogy.

Star Wars Legends Highlight of the Week: “You showed up for your wedding day with a blaster?”
In this feature, a fan will share one thing they love from Star Wars Legends - a book, a comic, an author, a character, a scene, an event, or anything else they want to highlight – and tell us more about it.
If you, too, love Legends, follow @from-a-legends-pov and check out our From a Legends Point of View fanfiction event, where we’ll be working with writers to build a collection of Star Wars Legends fanfiction set during the time of the Original Trilogy. Writer signups are open now through June 2, 2024 – use our Signup Form here to pitch your story concepts (Signup Guidelines available here), and please encourage your favorite writers to participate!
Tumblr media
Today’s Legends highlight is an arc from the 2013 Star Wars comics run from Dark Horse Comics, in which Leia Organa attempts to get the Rebels a new base by agreeing to marry the crown prince of Arrochar, and we’re talking with @lajulie24.
Tell us about your Legends highlight. What is it? What’s it about?
My highlight is part of the “Rebel Girl” arc from the 2013 Star Wars comics from Dark Horse Comics. The overall arc starts in issue #12, where we first hear about Arrochar, but the main parts of the arc are in issues #15-18, where things come to a head. The arc is set about a year after Yavin, and Leia comes back from a private mission and announces that the Rebels have been offered a base on the world of Arrochar, a planet in Hutt space, in exchange for Leia agreeing to marry their crown prince. Everyone from Mon Mothma to Han Solo to Wedge Antilles to Luke Skywalker is pretty dubious about this idea — Luke being the worst, and getting grounded by Wedge because his sulking is making him do a lot of reckless things during flight exercises— but Leia already feels extremely guilty about Alderaan and about recent losses, so she’s ready to go through with it.
Basically things start looking pretty shady on Arrochar from the jump, and Leia is not really happy about what she’s about to do, but she’s preparing for the wedding when the palace is bombed and a group of Star Destroyers shows up! Turns out one of the royal advisors betrayed the crown prince and has been courting the Empire the whole time (unbeknownst to the prince, who genuinely was into Leia and was sad that she wasn’t really into him). Luckily, Leia in fact did bring a blaster to her own wedding, she and Mon escape, Luke quits sulking long enough to defeat the trap he was lured into and escape with Han on the Falcon, and the Rebels’ new ion cannon saves the day.
What makes this a Legends highlight for you? What do you love about it?
Like many of the comics, this arc is a little bumpy for me — the quality of the artwork is a little uneven from issue to issue, with Leia getting some pretty weird expressions at times, and I do get annoyed that so often Leia’s plot lines tend to be things like “Leia tries to get needed resources for the Rebels by sacrificing herself” or “some fancy rich guy wants to marry Leia”, both of which are present here. But there are several things that make this arc enjoyable despite that, including:
1. Leia fixing X-Wings in her tank top my beloved (this also very much annoys the royals of Arrochar because she’s not proper enough for their tastes, also earlier in this series Leia is regularly flying an X-Wing in combat, so lots of great pilot Leia visuals)
Tumblr media
2. Han and Wedge both talk with Leia about her decision and while they respect it, they don’t like it (as evidenced by a gritted-teeth conversation between them before the wedding) and have each tried to let her know that she doesn’t need to do this for the Rebellion, that’s she’s done enough for the cause.
3. There is some gentle future HanLeia ship teasing throughout, including a few scenes where it’s clear Han’s preoccupied with someone and it’s definitely not the attractive fellow contractor he’s been working with (she notices that he’s distracted, and that it’s not about her).
4. There is a brief moment where we learn that Red Squadron has just been approved to use the “Rogue” designation, i.e. the beginning of Rogue Squadron here.
5. And of course, Leia does in fact bring a blaster to her own wedding, which she gives to Mon Mothma right before using her hand-to-hand combat skills to fuck up some guards (and obtain a new blaster in the process).
Basically, I enjoy that it’s centered around Leia, that she shows off her flying, mechanical, and combat skills, and that the people around her actually value her for those skills and feel like she deserves so much more than to be a bride in the court of Arrochar.
To learn more….

Ask Ben Solo
What’s up, HoloNet! The name’s Ben. Currently 23 years old. I’m the only son of an Alderaanian princess and a Corellian scoundrel, and I have an adopted sister named Rey.
I started this blog when I was fifteen and afraid of becoming a Jedi. To make things worse, I started hearing voices in my head…voices that turned out to be someone who wanted to control me. Luckily, my friends and family got involved, and Snoke seems to have backed off.
I did make friends with some of Uncle Luke’s Jedi students, but I ended up attending the University of Naboo (Go Shaaks!) and got my degree in Journalism, since I’ve always been interested in writing, history, and politics. (Scroll back enough, and you’ll see my cringe pro-Imperial phase from back in the day. Yikes.)
I stayed on Naboo after graduation, and now I write for The Chommell Sector Daily. In my free time I lift weights, write poetry, and fight with people online.
Ask me a question!
—Ben

Jimmy Smits in Obi Wan Kenobi is a treasure
I have already talk about Simone Kessell's performance as Breha Organa, and how beautiful she did. But I can't stop thinking neither in Jimmy's performance.
I was rewatching OWK today, and I just realized how GOOD Jimmy Smits' performance was, I mean he is always great, he's so talented, but here he nailed it in this scenes in particular.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What this three scenes have in common is Bail being worried about his kidnapped daughter.
First one: he has to clear his throat in order to keep talking, his voice is broken and his face only shows the pain he is in.
Second one: in this one he's not only begging Obi Wan to save Leia, he's also demanding him to save her, he's worried, he's angry with himself too, he's sad and you can see all that in his performance, you can also see how much he adore his daughter.
Third one: this is maybe the most subtle, his tone is a bit more relaxed, not because he's more calmed but because he has to be very clear in the message he's sendig to Obi Wan, how I can realized that? Because of his hand, that gesture with his hand, his at the edge of a panic attack (this reminds me a lot of Tony Stark's gesture with his hand when his anxiety was at the top).
And you may ask, why did I point this scenes? Of course because of his acting, but also because it fits so good with his reaction in “Eclipse” short story. (Spoilers 📢)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now we can fully feel and see the pain in him and his reaction to first his daughter in danger and then after being told their daughter was killed. It's not like we couldn't feel it before but now it hits so much harder because we now got to see, visually and spoken, the actors performance in a similar situation.
Other scene where I think he COMPLETLY KILLED IT, was this one.
“One day, this planet will look to you Leia. There are many ways to lead. You just have to find yours” —Bail Organa.
Tumblr media
This is just pure poetry, pure beauty. We got to see the beautiful relationship Bail and Leia had, how lovely he was with her, how supporting, to get to see it after reading Leia, Princess of Alderaan and the manga just makes everything better.
It also conect so beautiful with this scene with (even more) baby Leia and Bail, him talking about her mother's bravery and sense of duty, things that will form Leia in the woman she will become.
Tumblr media
Jimmy Smits understood the asigment so well.

ELARA PALPATINE. attending with billy loomis.

starters owed ( 2 / 5 ) : dani dimitrescu ( @mcrcki ), jacen solo ( @impcrfct​ )
LUKE SKYWALKER. attending alone, but open to leaving with someone.

Glup Shitto moments from the Star Wars radio drama
Lord Tion is an Imperial nobleman and a protege of the Grand Moff Tarkin, introduced in episode 2 of the 1980 NPR Star Wars radio drama adaption, titled “Points of Origin.”
This episode is set a few days prior to A New Hope, exploring one of Leia’s “mercy missions” undertaken for the Rebel Alliance, as well as how she got her hands on the Death Star plans.
It’s quite intriguing as an exploration of pre-ANH Leia, and it may also be of interest to anyone in search of villain x heroine crumbs…
Tumblr media
You see, Lord Tion is arrogant, deeply loyal to the Empire, and also… quite taken with Princess Leia.
“And here she is… the shining jewel in the Organa crown”
Here he is, flirting with Leia while she is inspected for her mercy mission. I notice he is somewhat copying the infamous face grab move from his mentor…
Tumblr media
Hilariously enough there are two different visual depictions of Tion. One blond, and one dark-haired. The dark haired version is, in my opinion, quite nice-looking.
Tumblr media
His admiration for the Princess comes to a head when he invites himself to Alderaan for a dinner party with Leia and Bail… and ends up proposing a marriage arrangement. Let me tell you it is a very, very botched proposal.
Tion: "Alderaan could prosper from a closer link to the Empire. I could provide that link." Bail: "Perhaps you could make yourself clearer, my Lord?"
Tion: "A marriage between your daughter and me would benefit all of us."
Leia: (exhales slightly) "And what are you offering?"
Despite her obvious misgivings about this proposal, Leia uses it to coax information about the “Death Star” project out of Tion. Since this guy is apparently not the brightest, he begins to brag about the Empire building a battle station that can destroy planets. Leia and Bail are naturally horrified; the worst has been confirmed.
Tion: "A new order is emerging, and I intend to be among those who lead it. Your daughter can share it with me and Alderaan can prosper from it."
Leia: "Blood and death?"
Bail: "Leia, I--"
Tion: "From an Empire that will rule unchallenged because of that battle station--" Leia: "A galaxy of slaves, is that what you think I want?"
Bail: "Leia, calm yourself--"
Tion: "I'm offering you a place in the Empire, Leia. And yes, a galaxy at your feet."
Leia: "An Empire of oppression? Under a DEATH STAR that destroys--"
Bail: LEIA!
In her anger, Leia has slipped up and revealed her rebel allegiances, moreover, that she knows the code name “Death Star,” and, as Tion puts it, “only someone with rebel contacts could know that name.”
He resolves to summon the Imperial authorities and have both Bail and Leia questioned… but Leia is not about to take this quietly.
She and Tion get into a little tussle, wherein she grabs hold of his blaster, accidentally firing it and killing him.
Tumblr media
With this act, Leia has (momentarily) protected her family and their rebel secrets, but she has also killed a man— possibly for the first time. She begins to sob into her father’s arms. They bury Lord Tion and claim that that he died in a hunting accident… covering up the truth.
It is now time for Leia to retrieve the stolen Death Star plans, beginning the events of the original movie <33
There’s a part of me that finds the thought of a dark AU with Leia forcibly being married into the Empire (especially if it’s to Tarkin) both twisted and fascinating, so I did indeed appreciate this segment of “Points of Origin.”
And the idea of an Imperial officer who is inspired by Tarkin’s ideology having a crush on Leia is amusing indeed! :3

Wip ask game
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!) I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DnD campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!
