The "Slowly forgetting your face" animation meme but its the surviving jedi of order 66 trying to remember their clone friends and realizing they can't tell them apart anymore

I like to my imagine my Jason Todd as a boy who still jumps at his own shadow. Who keeps several weapons under his pillows. The kitchen cabinets, in hollow books on his shelf, in his waistband at all times. Who dosent look at himself in the mirror when he gets out of the shower or brushes his teeth. Jason who is naturally avoidant but yearns for something real. Adolescent and setting sun on a grainy camera, slushies and late night rides. Jason who finds solace in books and disappearing into the stories. But once he puts it down gets an overwhelming feeling of dread. Jason Todd who uses himself as a shield for anyone vulnerable.

Fives come back I miss you

Anakin and Rex's relationship didn't go beyond coworkers/manager-assistant manager but the SW fandom isn't ready for that conversation

I will defend the Rex/Anakin friendship until I die. The definition of ride-or-die

i think the key difference between george lucas’s star wars and disney’s star wars is that lucas is a man with an ideology. someone with a point of view, and all that entails. which comes with ideas of revolution, anti-imperialism, challenging the status quo, cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes. complex and contradictory ideas because that’s how artists are: complex and complicated people. disney is not. disney is a corporation. a corporation can’t have ideology, because ideology defeats the purpose of profit. and when the only thing you do is to turn on the movie manufacturing machine before you sit down and plan what ideas are you trying to convey to the audience, then your results are going to be washed out corporate garbage. and because when you’re a giant corporation who only cares about selling to the widest audience possible, you can’t take sides. you can’t decide on an idea. because you want to sell your product to people who are on the entire political spectrum. which results in movies without ideology, without purpose, without soul.

I have been looking for this post for years after I came across it and it’s finally here and I need to reblog this because it is absolutely and entirely accurate.

#as I always say: lucas was making a samurai film and a ww2 flying ace film and a western film and adding laser swords#because he fundamentally LIKED samurai films and dambusters films and westerns and 40’s adventure serials#but disney are making a ‘star wars film’ and adding nothing because it already had laser swords and they have nothing else to say#xerox of a xerox baybeeeee (via harrietvane)
