i’m not overly protective of star wars but when people say to watch the prequels first for story purposes I cringe because no no no you gotta watch it 4 5 6 1 2 3 okay
THANK YOU
actually
and I recognise this may be controversial
you gotta watch it 4 5 1 2 3 6
yeah read that again
I am saying you gotta watch the prequels after Empire
here’s why:
you get the backstory on Vader immediately after the ‘I am your father’ reveal
you get to drag out the suspense of Han being frozen in carbonite
you don’t immediately ruin the impact of Vader as a villain by starting out with what an awful whiner Anakin was
you also don’t leave Return on the Jedi on a confusing note of ‘wait who the hell is that other ghost’ if you watch the original trilogy in its entirety before hitting the prequels
you aren’t left feeling shitty by ending your marathon on Revenge of the Sith and instead get to close out with the potentially insipid but undoubtedly joyous celebration at the end of the Battle of Endor
basically if you’re going to include the prequels at all you need to incorporate them as a mid-story flashback
okay that’s all
i watched star wars for the first time in the 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6 order and let me tell you, imho, that is the absolute best way to get the story out of th emovies.
it makes return of the jedi that much more poignant and good and like spook says, doesn’t leave on your final marathon note being revenge of the goddamn sith
A (probably unsuccessful) long-term attempt to gif every DVD I own: 9 of ?
So I’m picturing Leia getting escorted from her cell for reasons unknown to her, Darth Vader a step behind her, and she’s trying to figure out what’s happening, and then after a few very lengthy elevator rides she round the corner and sees…
this bitch and she just powerwalks to Tarkin, and Vader’s like, wait what, and Leia is honestly excited because here’s a person she knows and hates, and she’s like, “what should I insult? His hair? His family? His personal habits? Can I insult Vader at the same time?” and then doesn’t flinch when Vader bumps her shoulder like “What the hell, Organa,” but just continues with her lil’ diatribe.
have you ever met a 19 year old girl though? this is like the most true-to-life shit george lucas ever wrote, of course pissed off leia would charge straight up to someone she hates under heavy guard on an enemy ship to tell him he fucking stinks. it’s only because this is sci fi that she doesn’t put gum in his hair as a finisher.
i now firmly believe that, right after the camera stopped, Leia turned around “DAD! you’re embarassing me!”
she never outgrew it, she just becomes more eloquent as she ages. in the novels, some of the things she says in the senate are like
Your headcanon about the pregnancy is actually supported by a deleted concept of padmé’s pregnancy giving her Force visions as well incredibly pain (because she was carrying divine twins!)

Hello Naughty Younglings It’s Murder Time
if you can’t handle me at my in pieces exposed wires C-3PO, then you don’t deserve me at my shined and fresh out the oil bath C-3PO.
does Luke Skywalker is gay?
Me: so what do you think about the rebellion?
Date: Im actually a huge supporter of the Empire. Theyre pushing this galaxy in the right direction.
Me, shoving nutrient packs into my purse: sorry my uncle Fulcrum called I have to go-
midichlorians are the power house of the jedi
Jedi will travel across the galaxy to Jedha just to get kyber crystals for their lightsabers
They crave that mineral
get you a man who can do both
my name is Luk and wen its nite R2 run off Sand Ppl fite Old Ben find me then I run hom Owen and Beru now smoky bonz
“average sith lord have 3 lightsabers” factoid actualy just statistical error. average sith lord have 1 lightsaber. General Grievous, who lives in castle & loots over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
some people???????execute order 66?????????? to cope????????????
just moving along like everyone else
