Help It’s Again

Sabine, who went to the imperial academy and learnt she was being lied to by the empire and tricked into making a mandolorian killing machine. Sabine whose family she had to break away from because they were pro empire. Sabine, who was a bounty hunter until Kanan and Hera found her. Sabine, the resistance hero. And now apparently: Sabine the Jedi?

To this day I still don't understand why they decided in the Ashoka show to give her the force. I genuinely hate it. Most women in Star Wars are either inspirational leaders with a blaster, force sensitive or just evil. Sabine isn't any of that, she gets the treatment that's usually only for female jedi or men. She's a fighter who can keep up with anything and anyone. She never needed something other than her paint, explosives and blasters to win a fight.

So I find the decision to make her force sensitive so strange. Especially because in Rebels there's no lead up to this. When she's being trained by Kanan so she can learn to wield the dark saber, (in my opinion the most logical place to hint at force sensitivity) there's no indication of it.

And why this moment? She's been in dire situations before, why now the connection to the force? Why now the push? And don't get me started on midi-chlorians. Have we just completely thrown that out?

Joe Russo:

The disregard that leaks through parts of the MCU, two of the new Star Trek movies, and the new Star Wars trilogy really is baffling to me. So many people love these franchises and would have lovingly poured their heart and soul into them. And filmmakers who just didn’t care were handed these films?? Imagine what we could have gotten if actual fans had been allowed to make these movies. 

Oh wait, I don’t have to imagine. People who love these franchises and these characters put their tiny amounts of free time and overwhelming effort into producing fanfiction and fanart for these characters every day. I could go on AO3 right now and in half a dozen clicks get sweeping, beautiful, poetic treatises on the human condition written through these ‘Verses. Vast arrays of adventures starring these characters, and the characters themselves would be lovingly adored by their writers. I could enjoy content made by people who care. 

Good morning, Phineas and Ferb fandom! I’m new here and I look forward to the next 104 days with this community #[ ]">

Carl: does anything.

Soldiers: it's been nine days and we killed that one guy

Seekers: it's been nine days and we uncovered that potential ritual, and also learned the golden orchard was destroyed
