Imagine you're Ezra Bridger. You've been gone for a decade, and one of the first things that happens when you return to your own galaxy is the New Republic throws a Big Important Party in your honor. There's a lot of people you know, some people you don't recognize, some random guy carrying a random baby, some people you think you should recognize but don't, and some people you know you'll recognize once you start talking to them.
At your party, you run into that smuggler guy who double crossed you and your entire crew one time. "What's he doing here?" you ask. Turns out, he joined the Rebellion and later the New Republic, thanks to his old poker buddy, Han.
And then you meet a total stranger who's so force sensitive it's almost palpable. "What is he doing here?" you ask. Turns out, he's a hero of the Rebellion, has connections to at least five other people you know, and mentions his best friend, Han, who you've just gotta meet, he's such a cool guy.
And then you see this huge wookiee and you're like "What is he doing here?" and someone's like "oh, he met Ahsoka back in the Clone Wars, and he's an important Rebellion hero. And he's Han's co-pilot."
And so at this point, all you know is that some guy here named Han is the "coolest guy in the world" and was poker buddies with one of the sleaziest guys you've ever met and his co-pilot is a massive hulking BEAST.
And THEN you see the stubborn princess senator you met during the war! And you're like "What's she doing here?" and one of your friends is like "She's a senator in the New Republic and was a leader in the Rebellion, she's come to thank you for your sacrifice."
And then you start talking to the Princess she's like "oh have you met my husband, Han?" and you're thinking "oh shoot the legendary Han, the Han, the coolest guy in the world who hangs out with sleazebags and wookies is married to the princess????" And she's like, "Oh, there he is you have to meet my husband Han" and then you meet Han and he's.
He's the random guy who's been carrying a baby around for your entire party.

now listen, listen here. i just know deep down in my bone marrows that the twins have had more than one conversation about their boyfriends choice of ships.
leia has told han time and time again that he can't keep replacing and moving and relying on pure luck for the falcon to even start let alone fly. he either needs to get professional help that she's all but willing to provide for, or he needs to get a new ship.
(that last bit is just a threat, a scare tactic, if you will. she knows how much the falcon means to han. leia would never forcefully make him part with his first love.)
now, luke and din? they're different. and that's only bc luke is as sentimental as din and will do everything in his power to fix that bag of bolts. scrounge shady sellers for spare parts? luke is on it. help peli with repairs even if luke is up all night to do it? he has a canteen of caf ready to keep him awake. luke will do, buy, fix, whatever the razor crest needs bc it's din's home, no matter if it's not his first or his current one. it's the first ship he bought after a successful bounty, it's where he raised grogu, where he took luke to see the stars when he was just a kid on tatooine, a bright eyed farm boy hungry for the reckless and the unknown.
luke is dearly attached to that ship just as much as din and grogu are, and he's going to make sure it flies for another day.

Do you think, if there’s an April fools day in the Galaxy far far away, would Jacen make silly jokes to Tenel Ka as ever, would Jaina boop Jag on the nose, would Tahiri play a prank on Anakin, and call him a dummy afterwards?
Would it be the best day for Face, the best and the worst day of Wes, and the worst day ever for Wedge?
Would Luke and Mara joke with each other, and end up laughing and kissing affectionately? Would Han try to play a joke on Leia and fail miserably, as they are again doing their lovely little argument about who’s outsmarting who?
And imagine instead of saying “April fools”, people will repeat what Grievous has said to Obi-Wan…“You fool!”
And Obi-Wan would continue his lecture on ��who’s more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?”
If so, then this universe could be a lot happier than it was before, even when it can only last for a day in each year.

Sometimes, I really want an animated show about the OT characters. Their adventures, serious and silly, as they become friends and family long before Luke and Leia discover that they're siblings. Stories about Leia struggling with going from princess to general. Luke struggling with being a Jedi and a commander. The Rogue Squadron and their adventures. Han and Chewie barely keeping up with the Space Twin shenanigans.
But, then I remember how each of these characters were treated in the Sequel Trilogy, and I realise that it doesn't matter. No amount of stories about them will change the fact that they all die alone away from each other, that they gave up their childhood, their homes, themselves to the safety of the galaxy and that none of it ever mattered. And I can't enjoy canon stories about them because it won't change their ending, and I can't forget that.

It's been years and somehow I'm still not over Ned's death. Like WHAT DO YOU MEAN they killed off the main character? It's honestly one of the scenes that I can't bear to rewatch. No other fictional death has affected me this much. Except maybe for Cat's in the red wedding.

This part always amuses me, because he and Kell were literally once part of a heist crew together

confession: i liked a lot of things about this movie. what i did not like, in the slightest, was the maul cameo.
i could go off for a big ol droll paragraph about it, but i could also just summarize with 'his costuming sucks and they made him smile super creepy and play with his lightsaber like he's a child with a toy, not an elite wizard assassin trained with a saberstaff since childhood.'
why is he playing around with his staff on screen? it's not even a bored, idle fiddling. he's like wooo~ look at my liiiiiightsaaaabrrrrr. it's fuckin comical, not intimidating. boo.
