“Names mean almost everything” is just a fancy way of saying “Nostalgia means more than story.”

Wait Will is actually Katherine and Elizabeth's brother? Pacat actually pulled a Leia Luke kiss on us? 😂😂😂 damn I feel like what nerds (affectionate) felt when Star Wars first came out.

Maybe this is just me, but I have very particular feelings on Rey being a Skywalker, bc yes, obviously she is a Skywalker and not a Palpatine (I'm not going to even touch that), but I feel like people need to acknowledge that she's not a Skywalker just bc she got Leia's and Luke's lightsabers. No. Rey is a Skywalker because both Luke and Leia met her for five minutes and immediately picked her over Kylo Ren as the family favorite. She literally is the girl that goes to her ex's family dinners bc they invite her and not him. She literally assumed his place as heir to the Skywalker legacy, and she is so funny for that. She is Rey Skywalker, and she will forever be one of the baddest bitches in the galaxy

Ahsoka season 2 (or mando season 4, or Book of Boba Fett season 2, or whatever the fuck half baked show comes next):
Sabine: "Somehow Thrawn Has Returned!"
Senator Xiono: "yeah, you helped him"
Sabine: "we're not sure how this happened-"
Senator Xiono: "you did it because one person mattered more to you than the entire galaxy"
Sabine: "-maybe it was ancient sith magic!"

(1) “Through the power of studio interference and damage control due to fan backlash, I present to you your forced redemption arc!”
(2) “As we all know, true love is when one partner fatally wounds the other. Also, when one brutally slaughters their partner’s friends and allies!”
(3) “Anakin lost his mom, was dicked around by the Jedi, grew up as a slave, has trauma from fighting in a whole ass war, and thought he was going to lose his wife Padme before he went Sith. And he still had to think about it! Meanwhile, you went Sith…over a misunderstanding!?!?”

My issues with Ben Solo/Kylo Ren dying in TROS:
* it pretty much ended the Skywalker line, while Palpatine’s line lived on. Sure, Rey decided to reject her lineage but in many of the audience’s eyes she’s still a Palpatine.
* Han died trying to get Ben/Kylo to come home to Leia. It feels like such a waste and tragedy that Ben/Kylo died anyway.
* Leia stopped her Jedi training after she had a vision that Ben would die if she finished it. Ben dying anyway made that feel like a huge waste.
* What did Ben’s death do to help redeem him? Nothing. Yes, he resurrected Rey, which could be considered a selfless act, but he wasn’t instrumental in taking down the evil. Vader’s redemption-death was good partly because he killed Palpatine to save his son. He single-handedly got rid of the source of all the horror and darkness and destroyed the Sith. Ben/Kylo did not do anything like that--he just resurrected Rey, after she’d taken down Palpatine. What was the point in Kylo/Ben dying then?
If he’d survived, his redemption arc, which was truly botched in the movie, could’ve been expanded upon. We could’ve seen him actually face the pain he’d caused, we could’ve seen how people felt about him, we could’ve seen him at least try to atone for his crimes, even if he could never fully atone.
* Also... his death was pretty much like how Vader died. Why did we have to see that trope again?
* “But only death can absolve him of his crimes!!” That might be true... but what about Revan, who also committed atrocities and managed to redeem himself? What about Atton Rand, who was a Sith Assassin who tortured and murdered countless Jedi? What about the Exile and Bao-Durr, who were responsible for the brutal deaths of thousands of people and the destruction of a planet? Yes, it’s true that Revan, Atton, Bao-Durr and the Exile are way more sympathetic than Kylo Ren, but they all still had blood on their hands.
