Luke Skywalker put away his targeting computer to destroy the Death Star so I don't need AI to help me write an email.

“what’s the song of the summer” ?? it’s DANCING IN THE DARK by bruce springsteen for the 42nd year in a row

i think oz had the funniest character arc on buffy the vampire slayer. he was just a chill stoner who got turned into a werewolf and didn't let it bother him for as long as possible until he had to go to tibet and calm down even more so he didn't uncontrollably turn into a werewolf every full moon. then he got back to town like 6 months later and found out his girlfriend realized she was a lesbian while he was gone. he responded to this news by immediately turning into a werewolf again even though it was the middle of the day and nowhere near the full moon so he got arrested by the army and had to get rescued and then leave town forever. i have no idea where he went after that he was just gone.

eyes emoji was the perfect invention for nosy people. like 👀 whats going on over here 👀👀 i just wanna know #LetMeKnow 👀👀👀

Someone said one of the knights of the Round Table should be a samurai on my post about a knight of the week Arthurian legend TV show and I agree. Arthurian legend takes place in the 5th-6th century so several centuries before the samurai class formed fully but the setting is usually portrayed as occurring broadly in the Middle Ages so historical accuracy is nbd. I love the idea of a single proto-samurai leaving Japan and navigating all the way across Eurasia just to end up in King Arthur’s court. We’ve already got Arthurian knights who are canonically North African or Middle Eastern and I think it would be fun to add more non ethnically European knights of the Round Table while including the expectations of what being an honor-bound warrior meant to their specific culture during the Middle Ages.

The funniest part of A New Hope is that Luke Skywalker is a 19 year old who has not locked in yet and plays with toys and sleeps in his childhood bedroom at his aunt and uncle’s house and Leia Organa is a 19 year old with a mission to save the galaxy from fascism. Luke has never left his hometown, Leia just watched her planet be blown up. He’s peeved his uncle is asking him to do his chores, she’s imprisoned for resisting the government. You relate to them both but they’re on complete opposite sides of the 19 year old life stage spectrum.

Also Luke is clearly very lonely after his crush and best friend, Biggs, went away to college

Yes! Some people have misinterpreted this as me insinuating Luke is a wimp but he’s just in a very transitional life phase that is focused on growing and maturing. His friends are growing up and moving on, he’s anxious to join them but isn’t quite ready. He has ambition and goals but he just isn’t in a place where he is able to pursue those goals, he is immature and that isn’t a bad thing. 19 year olds SHOULD be able to ponder their place in the world and which direction they want their life to take. Leia has been in the public eye her entire life, she is a princess, she has been primed for greatness and she has been shouldered with so much responsibility. Luke is just his aunt and uncle’s nephew, they love him and don’t want him to leave, he’s trying to decide what to do.

He’s like a Midwest farm boy who is dreaming of the big city and she is like an old money New England heiress who has been told since birth she will follow her father’s career path into politics and has been sent to the most competitive schools and enrolled in the most rigorous extracurriculars.
