like im very horse with blinders on with straight romance but that just felt like the most no build up ''lets just do this to meet the four-ending post-A route requirement'' like you cannot influence me with your jedi mind tricks to ever believe any of that. and dont even try that ''well she only ever opens up to children so she probably kept it hidden in her heart becausw tyrann-'' nonesense because WHAT ABOUT NIER

The Last Jedi, or SOMEONE REALLY SHOULD HAVE EXPLAINED HOW ANAKIN FELL TO LUKE IN A WAY THAT WASN'T SPOKEN IN RIDDLES.

Spoilers ahead but also some meta. I don't know how to add a line break/cut on mobile.

I loved the last Jedi but some stuff about luke's character bothered me. He felt ooc from what his character arc ended with in ROTJ. Granted this is a man haunted by failures and the death of legit everything he worked for, but I even then it felt out of character for Luke Skywalker, the Jedi who brought anakin back from the dark side, to believe that killing his nephew was the only thing he could do to stop his fall. That's not the man who almost died because he believed his father had good left in him, even after all the crimes Vader committed.

So here's my theory: back when sidious was manipulating anakin, the Jedi council missed HUGE signs that something was up with Anakin. They knew there was sith involved, but didn't suspect it was palpatine. (Despite the FLASHING NEON WARNING SIGNS). All they knew was that anakin was a shatter point, a dangerous one (still should have trained him harder and maybe not let him get all cozy with palpatine in ways NO OTHER JEDI WAS REALLY ALLOWED, but I digress.) But not how he played into it. Or how palpatine played into it. This is because palpatine was able to manipulate the force enough to cloud even the foresight of yoda. He was virtually untraceable in the force. This made him able to plant seeds of doubt in anakin's mind that over the course of the clone wars were one by one confirmed.

Seed one: padme would die. Palpatine manipulated anakin's force visions to constantly torment him with visions of padme dying. Anakin's love for her, which was a good thing and could have done wonders for the order, became instead a tool of control. Anakin would do anything for her.

Seed two: the Jedi were corrupt and wanted power, and didn't think him worthy enough to be a Jedi knigt, and that the Jedi were turning from their own code and becoming hypocritical. Palpatine manipulated the way anakin viewed the council and its actions. As more and more death came of the Jedi actions throughout the war, anakin slowly began to have his doubts confirmed. The loss of his padawan, Ahsoka Tano, to the machinations of another padawan who had lost faith made anakin even more wary of the Jedi. Palpatine used the destruction of the war to frame the Jedi order in an even worse light. When Obi-Wan was no longer immediately at Anakin's side to ground him and help him see clearly, Anakin was weak to Palpatine's influence. It came to a head when the council tried using him as a spy on palpatine, because by then Anakin believed palpatine to be a loyal and sympathetic friend who shared his doubts about the order and would listen to his problems. He saw the jedi council's caution as hypocrisy and a power move. This escalated when, upon revealing the identity of the sith lord to them, mace windu did as Jedi usually do with sith and IMMEDIETLY went to confront him. Anakin saw this as betrayal- a peace keeping order that supposedly fought for justice was going to murder a man that had otherwise been a good person and strong leader throughout a bloody and destructive war. There would be no trial, no negotiations. Just straight up slaughter. This confirmed what palpatine had been feeding him about the Jedi order; they wanted power. This is why he was so quick to jump to Palpatine's aid. The jedi had been lured into a position where they looked like the villains.

Seed three: isolation. Because the war was wrapping up by episode 3, the Jedi were spread out. Anakin didn't have his padawan to distract him as she left the order herself. He wasn't always able to see padme, and despite the fact they were unstoppable together, He and Obi-Wan were not put on the same campaigns. The lack of friends around himto bolster his bonds and make him stronger in the light side allowed for palpatine to slip into anakin's mind. He slipped seeds of distrust and doubt about Obi wan and Padme , both of whom were taking stands against palpatine in ways the chancellor manipulated in anakin's mind to look sinister. Obi-Wan was a Jedi loyal to the council; padme was one of the senators most outspoken against the chancellor's draconian laws and regime and the sudden powers he's was wresting that seemed to turn him autocratic. ( mind you that Anakin was a long time soldier in the war and saw all of palpatine's increased powers and official decrees as necessary. The war was bad. )

So though the failure of the jedi to perceive the manipulations of palpatine, both the force influenced ones and ones he manipulated through his actions ad grand chancellor and leader of the Republic army, the jedi had fallen into a trap where their most powerful student felt utterly betrayed by the order that saved him. It didn't help that they had somewhat alienated him during his training, treated him with less respect than he believed he deserved, and many high council members straight up didn't trust him. It also didn't help that by that point in the war the Jedi had become more combative than peace keeping. Mace windu struck first, asked questions later. It seemed a far divide from how Jedi were supposed to do things.

Now, one would think that yoda would have passed this knowledge onto Luke during his training so that Luke didn't make the same mistakes. But luke fell for the same trap as his teachers.

1.) He saw ben's power and aggression and instead of teaching him proper ways to handle it, reprimanded it, which created tension between himself and his nephew that Snokes could easily manipulate from frustration between student and teacher to outright hatred.

2.) He failed to sense Snokes manipulating ben's mind through the force. And even then failed to adequately guard his students from the dark side.

3.) Snokes was able to use ben's frustration and growing resentment to begin to isolate the teen just as palpatine did to anakin. We see ben in his own little shack, with o other students. This is not how Jedi typically function, where every student was together in shared spaces. Luke seemed to contribute to the isolation of Ben, which made him easy prey for snoke.

3.) Snokes planted seeds of doubt into Ben's mind that distanced him further from luke. He no longer saw luke's lessons as helpful or even purposeful. He began to see the training of the Jedi as laughable to those teachings of the sith. The more luke struggled to reign in Ben and teach him, the more hypocrisy Ben saw.

4.) I'm of the opinion Snokes manipulated luke himself. Luke failed to see the struggled Ben was undergoing, the torment Snokes was putting him through. Instead he saw a teenager falling deeper and deeper into the darkness. He began to believe that Ben could not be saved. This is out of character for luke, who we saw struggle with the dark side and draw anakin back to the light. I feel like, as with mace windu, whose mind was clouded and who could not sense the deeper machinations of sidious, only that there was a sith and they needed to be disposed of, luke was lured into believing the only way to stop Ben's descent before it reached critical mass was to destroy him. That sort of thinking is dark side thinking l. The nagging doubts in luke's mind that told him killing was the only answer? That's the dark side. That's fear taking control and manipulating him. Only, luke realized too late that he was falling dangerously close to the dark side. He realized it only when he went to slay his nephew while he slept, stopping at the last minute with a "Holy shit wtf am I doing?"

5.) Unfortunately he still walked right into the trap because at that moment Snokes pulled the strings. Luke never got the chance to explain because Ben woke up to find his uncle standing over him with his lightsaber. In that moment all the lies and manipulations and doubts snokes had been feeding him were confirmed. He defended himself against his attacker and betrayed by someone who was supposed to guide and protect him, fell to the dark side.

So yeah. Luke fell to the same trap the Jedi Order did. Let's hope rey doesn't do the same. Like, yoda confirming that everything Rey needs is inside her ND also she took the Jedi texts, things that CLEARLY no one has read in a damn long time, might actually help prevent this from happening again. I like how yoda is like "we were meant to pass on our successes, and our greatest failures." And honestly I think Rey will be able to actually learn something from Luke's failure. I'm not sure if she will be able to destroy Kylo Ren by bringing Ben Organa-Solo back to the light side (or to the light side for the first time ever). It was kind of clear Kylo Ren, now turned loose without Snokes pulling his strings, is now completely chaotic. He truly is the dark side made manifest; driven by passionate hate and lust for revenge, out of control and hell bent on destroying everything to dominate it all. But at least Rey will know the true extent of what a sith lord can do, and how deep manipulation goes. At least now she knows personally that the dark side is tempting, it promises answers, but what it delivers really conclusions she could have drawn for herself and eventual ruin. She fell for 2.5 seconds, and found that the dark side did not answer her questions, did not give her what she wanted, and only left her with the conclusion she had already known, but didn't want to admit to herself.

It Might Be Death

104. “What hurts?” “Everything.”​

Mm. Sickness whump.

AO3

Clones weren’t supposed to get sick. They weren’t. That was a simple fact of life within the GAR. Jedi did. The Nat-borns did. But Clones didn’t. Get. Sick.

So certainly, the only conclusion was that Wolffe had been poisoned and was dying.

“You’re not dying, you’re just Ill,” he heard Ghost grumble as a wet cloth was draped over his forehead. Bullshit. He was dying. He was burning up, his chest hurt, and so did his head, and his mind was too hazy for him to be anything but dying. His entire body ached and he was too damn hot.

“How is he?”

Ah, there was Buir. Sorry, Buir. You’re gonna need a new Commander.

“Nonesense, my son,” the low rumble from his Jetii reached his ears and a gentle, four taloned hand stroked his cheek. “You’ll be fine soon.”

“Won’t…” he managed, turning his head to look at the Kel Dor sitting at his bunkside, “‘m sorry… hurts…”

Plo’s brows furrowed.

“What hurts?”

Wolffe let out a shaky exhale, groaning lowly as he turned his head again. “Everything.”

Plo gently took a hold of one of his hands, the cool metal of his talon guard and skin against Wolffe’s own clammy skin felt nice and he groaned again. He needed to be cold.

“You’ll be alright, my son,” he heard his Buir murmur. “Ghost and I will take care of you.”

not to be completely off topic but how do u feel abt the scene where luke thought abt killing kyle? dont get me wrong i wouldve killed kyle and luke was right tbh but i genuinely dont believe that after all that luke did for vader that he would just try and kill kyle.. not in the. luke is sunshine baby and would never kill anyone or some shit but in the. luke is dedicated to redeeming people. kind of way. sorry if this is nonesense im going to sleep u also make my day have an amazing day

I THINK ITS CONVOLUTED bc there are bits of luke’s characterization in tlj that i really enjoy but there are some clunkers too. i think this moment both... works and doesn't work. i think it could have been conveyed better ?? bc if they showed luke being very very afraid of letting the dark side return and feeling like it is his responsibility to stop it from coming back, playing up the angle of him feeling like its him and only him against the forces of evil .. then this desperation would have made sense. 

if they showed luke struggling with his role of THE MAIN HERO OF THE GALAXY, OUR ONLY SAVIOR, THE CHOSEN ONE, then his choice to kill kyle would have felt like the peak of that frustration. maybe he felt like he couldn't disappoint the galaxy and had to protect it from the dark side no matter what, even if there was just a hint of it in kyle ron. it could have been the result of unjust expectations that were placed on him, he saved the galaxy, now he's gonna bring the jedi back and teach them the wonders of light side etc etc

all of this could have culminated in this very dark thought of stopping kyle ron before its too late but tbh it was communicated in a very goofy way like. what the hell. he stood over his bed with a sword. whatever. 

i don't wanna sound like I'm sucking tlj’s dick bc i am not, but the parts with luke are genuinely very interesting to me bc shit sometimes breaks you and you cannot be the plucky hero forever. people always seem to ignore the fact that yes, luke doesn't wanna do the jedi shit anymore, he's tired of it etc but at the end of the movie, he does come back to the fight one last time.

which tbh is to the trilogy’s detriment bc how much more powerful would it be if luke decided to stay on that island in tlj, ignored everything but then came back in the third movie , showing that yea shit breaks you but you can always get up and try to find yourself again. but the ending of tlj is a rushed mess fhifhgi shit bro if i start picking apart tlj i might never know peace

ALSO THANK U SM sleep well <33 i will be doing that soon too, hopefully lol

lols, I doubt anyone could stop Jon from doing dumb reckless stuff entirety. Jedi are gonna Jedi and not even Rex can hold all that nonesense back. I'm imagining Rex gets really good at a Jon specific Look Of Firm Disapproval and Disappointment that works a good 40-60% of the time, tho!

I mean. Mostly it’s also that Rex will totally just be doing the dumb thing right alongside Jon and Jon values him not getting any bones broken enough to hang back and reassess. Usually. 

maul has a brief section in this where he’s resenting the jedi for not training him and it brings up a thought i’ve never actually considered: how do the jedi know who’s force-sensitive? because not only do they miss baby maul (who could possibly be explained away due to Dathomir Nonesense, interference from the witches, something) but palpatine?? presumably as a baby he wasn’t able to hide his presence like he can as an old man

TROS feelings but i try to keep it all in one (long) post

I’ve had some time to think about this film, read lots of different opinions on it, consider the things I hated and liked about it, and I guess I just want to share? Let’s start with the good stuff

What I liked 

It’s really not much but some positivity is always nice lol

Adam Driver’s acting! He’s not the only good actor in this, but imo he’s far above the rest. I’m 90% sure he’s getting that Oscar for Marriage Story, but he’s also extremely good in this despite having probably more than half of his lines cut or altered (more on that later) and he deserves that recognition

The fact that Finn, Poe and Rey had stuff to do as a trio, even though it wasn’t well done (more on that later)

The Han moment with Ben 

Rey being cheered on by all the past Jedi (more on that later too)

The concept of Rey burying the lightsabers and the last shot being on Tattooine at sunset 

The lighstaber “””magic trick””” through the force with Rey and Ben

The entire dyad thing with Rey and Ben, actually

That’s literally it lmao I truly hate this film 

What I think the problems are 

Even if I hadn’t read stuff about it before, it’s super painfully obvious as you watch it that they had reshoots/line changes/storyline changes and it makes the film not make any sense at all, it’s such a mess. 

A lot of super important lines by Kylo Ren are delivered with his mask on? There are also other instances without his mask where he’s either not in shot as he speaks or he has his arm in front of his mouth etc.. The more I think about it, the more I realise there’s literally no point at all in the story for him to reconstruct his mask. The scene where he does it is like.. 3 seconds long?? Like there’s no real emphasis on it even though it’s super important character-wise? UNLESS... it was done only to make sure lines (and therefore storylines) could be easily changed in the edit. I don’t think there’s actually a shot of anyone in the film saying, with their lips moving in shot, visibly “Rey is a Palpatine”, and that’s weird as hell? Rey herself never even really REACTS to it properly? In a saga that puts so much importance on legacy, she SHOULD have reacted, like Luke reacted when he learned Vader was his dad. Also Oscar Isaac said the actors had no idea that was a thing before the premiere..? Which implies there was no big table read with that part included and only a few people knew of that change? In my opinion it’s clear that this isn’t how the storyline was originally planned, and it probably was a last minute decision that they tried to make work with minor reshoots and some editing (the lightning when Rey blows up the ship Chewie is believed to be in could have been added in post-prod, for example). 

That’s not the only change, a lot of people have pointed out that Rey speaks to Ben in the end (before the kiss), like, you can clearly see that her lips are moving and that he’s listening to her, but that conversation was cut for some reason? In many shots of that scene, Adam’s hair are longer then shorter, his hands are gloved then ungloved, Rey’s reaction to his death is super weird, he’s never mentioned again at all, he doesn’t get a force ghost even though Anakin did at the end of RoTJ, the shot where he falls back and dies makes more sense in reverse when you look at the angle of Rey’s arm etc.. it’s very possible in my mind that Ben Solo dying wasn’t originally planned either and they just reshot the kiss or something, but yeah that whole thing felt particularly sloppy to me. Props to Daisy and Adam for still making it kinda work though. 

The editor of the film has said herself in a podcast that they used the “speaks with the mask on”, “not in shot” etc kind of tricks to allow them to change things up. Like idk what the hell happened to the original movie outline but I’m 10000% sure that it wasn’t what we ended up seeing at all. 

What would have been my ideal TROS (or what would have at least slightly improved it)

Involve Rose Tico??? Instead of setting her aside for no reason at all, have her go on the mission with the trio, like it really isn’t that hard? Adding one (1) tiny little scene showing what her relationship with Rey is like would also have been great. Either continue the romance with Finn and develop it more, or establish that they decided to remain friends, but don’t cast it aside and pretend it never happened? What they did to her is fucking gross honestly. My heart breaks in a million pieces for KMT 

 Develop!! Rey!!! and Poe!! It’s clear that they were going with OT trio vibes with Rey/Finn/Poe, except that Finn’s relationship with Poe and Rey are developed separately, but Rey and Poe aren’t with each other. So it doesn’t really seem like a trio and more like 2 duos that have Finn in common, you know? In the OT, Han/Luke Han/Leia & Luke/Leia were all developed, and that’s why the trio worked as a whole by the end of the saga. Instead what TROS did was make Rey and Poe bicker 80% of the time for no real reason? Then hug? So.. are they friends or not bc it’s a bit hard to tell? 

Cut that whole wayfinder plot to make it wayyy shorter. It was so stupid to watch (the knife needing to be placed exactly right at the exact right place, are you kidding me JJ Abrams? Is this Benjamin Gates or smth?), it didn’t do anything at all for the characters journey, it introduced people (Zorii and Jannah) that, as cool as they were, ended up not doing much at all...? Those were weird ass choices that ended up taking away screen time that could have actually been useful for the characters we already had. If you wanted a cool female character, JJ, Rian Johnson already had one. But where was she all that time? Oh, yeah. Off screen. 

NO REY PALPATINE. Makes no sense at all, is awful, has super weird implications that are never really explained, it’s full of plot holes... just big huge no. Rey being Rey Nobody was extremely powerful. It meant creating your OWN legacy, your OWN history, it connected her with the audience more. Rian Johnson actually surprised me with this, and I would have loved for it to stay that way. This is actually what crushed me the most about the entire film, I refuse this as canon completely. 

Ideally,... no Palpatine at all? Him coming back kinda ruins Vader’s arc for me. Ofc one big bad was needed after Snoke’s death and Kylo Ren getting an obvious redemption (yes, it was obvious, I’m not even gonna go through explaining it, just rewatch the 2 previous films). But Hux was RIGHT THERE. We knew he was a big BIG mean guy since his dictator speech in TFA, he had more to do with Starkiller Base than Kylo Ren ever had (yep, thats canon hoes), he always hated Kylo Ren, he almost killed him in Snoke’s throne room, I mean??? Plus Domhnall Gleeson is an excellent actor, why waste him like this when you can give him a great character arc where he does a coup and takes over the First Order?? Nonesense

Have Kylo/Ben’s redemption earlier in the movie and show him actively save lives before joining Rey’s side. I don’t necessarily hate how it played out in the film but I was pissed off that for a movie called The Rise of Skywalker, the actual Skywalker still alive barely speaks or does much once he comes back from the dark side. If you go for a redemption, GO for it, make him break Vader’s mask intentionally, make him feel Hux’s betrayal, make him be heroic. And ideally, once he saved lots of lives, imply that he intends on rebuilding the things he broke.. and make him live. Because having a last minute good action then “poof, he’s dead!” isn’t reverse Anakin/Vader, it’s a direct parallel to it. Which is a lot less interesting to watch as an audience. Why make a new trilogy if the ending is so similar to the original one? Why make it all about balance if Rey ends up forever brokenhearted bc her dyad in the force died? 

Still regarding Kylo/Ben: A FORCE GHOST MOMENT WITH ANAKIN WAS SO ESSENTIAL FFS? Even one with Luke? Or literally any other Jedi, like I’m so mad about that. He was the LAST Skywalker. Rey was cheered on by all the jedi and that was cool as hell, but when he was lying in that pit he should have been cheered on too? It would have been such an awesome scene to have that parallel between them (also them killing Palpatine TOGETHER would have been better, but whatever nothing about Palp made sense)

Heavier hand on the Rey/Ben romance. I’m one of the people who saw it coming since TLJ, so I personally wasn’t surprised at all, but a lot of casual fans were and that isn’t normal. There were so many opportunities for scenes reallyyy preparing the ground for a big epic space kiss that would have felt more satisfying, instead all we got in terms of clear romance pre-kiss was “I did wanted to take your hand, Ben’s hand”. That wasn’t enough. TLJ went hard, but stayed subtle. TROS needed to go harder, and not be subtle at all.

NO RACIST DRUG SMUGGLING BACKSTORY FOR POE!!  And instead maybe an arc about taking over Leia’s legacy in the resistance, about him fighting since he was a kid, about his parents being Rebellion fighters... if there was a story to be told about legacy... that was IT. Bc that’s Star Wars. You have characters trying to distance themselves from their legacies (Kylo Ren), trying to build their own legacies (Finn, Rey), and characters honouring it (Poe, Rose). It’s so stupid that they didn’t actually go anywhere with that. 

Give Finn something to do??? My boy was treated so fucking dirty I can’t believe. He’s an ex stormtrooper, why didn’t he, at ANY point in this trilogy, ever think twice about killing stormtroopers? If he KNOWS they’re brainwashed child soldiers.... why not have him do something with that? Create an arc around that? He’s really just gonna kill them left and right like it’s nothing to him? We’re gonna introduce Jannah, basically a female version of him (bc apparently that’s all woc get to have --’) who’s also an ex stormtrooper, and still not build an actual storyline around that? In a trilogy about BALANCE, ffs, which implies there can be good in the bad and bad in the good?? Like I’m losing my mind here lol that’s so so so dumb. Also for the entire film he’s got *something* to tell Rey, but there are some issues there: if it was a romantic confession, it doesn’t quite work bc TLJ already gave him another romantic interest (Rey too even if ppl like to deny it, Kylo was her love interest in TLJ) + made him care about the fight besides her. So making him be all “heart-eyes puppy following her around”, especially if you plan on having her kiss someone else at the end, seems particularly cruel. But if it was about him being force sensitive, it still doesn’t really work bc 1) it’s barely implied in the film and doesn’t actually go anywhere. It was a great idea! So why not fully lean into it? What was the point? I don’t get it. 2) They don’t even resolve it. Like, he tries to tell her that *something* like 3 times, and in the end it’s just never brought up, we leave the theatre not knowing what it was. I mean????? 

Have Leia’s death be more meaningful and CLEAR as to why she dies. I’ve seen like 10 different interpretations of her death. None of them make absolute perfect sense, that’s how poorly executed it was. I know they didn’t have much to work with, but I hate her dying like that, its like they tried to kill her off but had no idea how so there were like “she lays down and dies”. She’s Princess Leia ffs. Giver her some damn respect. 

I think I said pretty much everything I had in mind here. If you want to chat about it, my ask box is open! 

I still love star wars, but i’m gonna need to refuse to see this movie as canon in my head, for my own sanity ^^ 

who is working on something new when have around 8 drawings unfinished? <-- this little shit.

after watching second time TROS in cinama, even if i don’t liked some really big aspects of this storyline, i got really into the new era mood. the worldbuilding is not that bad, i live for stormpilot and i really like the new planets/creatures what the new trilogy gave to us. so even if sis @iwantacorgisobad couldn’t see much more than the movie’s ending scenes (she works in the cinema and she knows most of the film’s endings because the work), i totally spoiled her the whole movie x,D and being a good sis she was into the thinking process to make a sequel!AU to Cara and Eidana.

Page 1 - this Page 2 Page 3 Page 4

of course we tought the time jump thing too, but to be honest that would be interesting only for a really short time. Eidana would laught of her ass about Kylo (she is Anakin’s bestie so yeah, like a good best friend would do), and Cara would go to cry about what the hell happened with the Order’s heritage than go and bitchslap Kylo with Leia’s total permission. The End.

the other idea, the reincarnation was for me a so much more interesting idea. something that fit to the typical AU themes, but still could make a new, good story. if after ther death they chose not became force ghosts, but reincarnate to finish their destiny. as you know, in the original, republic times Cara and Eidana was both Jedi girls, master and apprentice, and after the Order 66 they became “enemies”. Cara went to the Rebels, became a supplier pilot (with having some missions because of course working for the Rebels not that easy peasy) - and later the governess of Leia and an adviser on Alderaan; and Eidana became one of the members of the Empire because she tought maybe with this she could help more, help to stop this nonesense, help to her best friend Anakin or at least try to a little bit holds him back and to spying and giving out informations about the Empire to the Rebels. So even if they work for the same case, ending up on the total two opposite sides of the battle. we tought that would fit totally perfectly with the Star Wars symbolism, if now, the sequel’s era they would begin their jurney from the opposite sides, and they became allies and best friends to the end. Cara was one of the old jedi students at Luke’s Academy, and just like in the original version of ours, she avoids the doom because she is not there. (Like the Order 66, now the Academy’s burning) she is still a child that time and being afraid and thinking that everybody died she escapes. only some times later she returns to the Resistance to help them and became of their soilders. (another thing i like about this idea, that now Leia is Cara’s mother-like figure, what is a hint to the Cara is Leia’s governess thing). Eidana’s story this time begins in the First Order, as one of their high rank officer. We still working on this part, but what we already know is that her heart is not with them, and she became a spy to help the Resistance (hint, as I said), and after some time she totally leaves them to join the Resistance where she and Cara became the same old soul sisters like in the republic times.

This little comic I try to make is their first meeting in this life. Middle of a mission but i’m not sure which time. to me it feels like more a TFA thing than any other, but there is no perfect timeline for this atm. Let’s say the previous month of TFA. 

i tried to make them as different as i can and still being recogniseable in the same time, even in drawing. like their soul is the same so the color choice of their dress is a good base point, but in drawing the hair is one of the most recogniseable thing, so that was what I needed to change that much that as i can, and still change that little that anybody could jauntily see that they are the same. because of the sims 4 versions of the girls I used to play with, i really got used to this haircolor to Cara, and because sis nowdays like to ironing her hair this badassbitch style became Eidana’s new version. I think it is totally fit to the First Order’s aesthetic x,DD Kylo would kill anybody who would be a treat to his epic curles. And furthermore, this hair being a straightened version, has the opportunity to play with this idea I make 2 years ago and give as the cute scene possibility that Cara could play with Ana’s original curls when she discovers Eidana’s hair is originally curly. ((no, really. did you ever have a friend with that cutie curls that you just NEED to touch it and play with it how it works like a spring? XD

Ya know if I lived in the Star Wars universe I'd like the force powers. Telekinesis is cool, maybe mild mind control to get people to leave me alone, etc. -the "parlor tricks". But I'd have no interest in being a Jedi or Sith. All their religious nonesense and the endless fight and whatever. Basically I'd want to be a birthday magician with real powers. New branch, "hey look, the Force. Don't be a dick. Make kids laugh."

I highkey want to write my own versions of the starwars movies but i also have to write a midterm essay and study for two more tests but also fucking Finn deserved better and Rey deserved better and Luke deserved better
