the best fanfic is the one the author had fun writing actually.

Big fan of 3!

I love that it’s purpose is somewhere between a battery and an extension cord

A big heavy power supply that has legs and the simplest possible droid brain for knowing where it’s needed because that’s canonically cheaper and easier than making a big heavy battery you have to move around yourself

seeing mon and kleya’s thrilling escapes from coruscant makes leia’s first reaction to luke and han even funnier. leia must’ve heard about these highly skilled rebels but then when she gets captured, she gets a hillbilly farmboy and an idiot smuggler to rescue her

The problem with being a Star Wars fan who actually reads the books is not every Star Wars book is good. Like some of them are really great but some of them are really boring and a chore to get through. Like normally if you're not into a book you can just not finish it but if it's a Star Wars book you feel obligated to finish it if for no other reason than to build your nerd cred. Like fandom homework.

I must force myself to give a shit about this author's OCs so I can get a good grade in Star Wars fandom, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve.

#guhhh he’s going run right into her with all of his 6-feet and she’ll ricochet off and land a mile away#so he literally picks her entire frame up and takes the momentum#think fast! YEET THE PRINCESS gently three feet backwards#lol her legs are so far off the ground and she hits it running and keeps going arms flailing mid-rant#doesn’t miss a beat - she cannot be stopped!

this clip has been going around everywhere and i am LIVING for it so much, god i miss carrie
