When Keepin’ It Real Goes Right.

Okay, so there is only one thing I’m going to say about The Rise Of Skywalker:

“I did want to take your hand... Ben’s hand.” 💔

Till the End of Time

Still overflowing with Reylo feels 🤷🏼‍♀️

The final thoughts of Anakin Skywalker and Ben Solo.

+BONUS 

Padme Amidala and Rey realizing they’ve lost their soulmates.

They released the comics right before the premiere which made it clear that Ben Solo did not destroyed the Jedi Temple and did not kill any jedi student. He just wanted to get home. And that certain night when Luke tried to hurt his nephew, Luke Skywalker was indeed under the influence of Palpatine.

All of these meant to prepare the audience for the “ Redemption  ” and Ben Solo’s happy life…

It was established that Sidious had a thing for collecting force sensitive children (both during the clone wars era and during Rebels) and experimenting on them to turn them to the dark side. Then he used them as spies.

He targeted children…and after the Skywalkers defeated him he targeted, groomed, manipulated, abused and essentially collected Ben from inside the womb to the point if betrayal by Luke. It was revenge and tatical.

One of the things that frustrates me is the hate that certain individuals must have felt for victims. And I believe it *was* hate, because it was entirely within their power to design TROS such that Ben was a better person. Instead, they wrote and portrayed him as badly as they could within the constraints they had and then killed him off with no fanfare so they could free Rey from his influence.

The makers of TROS were presented with a character perfectly poised to be redeemed, to become strong in himself, to be a better person and to be the manly man in charge of his own destiny/whatever the antis wanted in a character. The makers of TROS could have written him so that he was no longer the character they hated. But they didn’t. There is a lot of malevolent intention there.

Put in the same movie where:

Rose was sidelined

Finn’s relationship with Rose was MIA

They found time for new male characters and aliens, but not established ones

They mocked the Holdo maneuver

They showed porgs shivering and sooty

Rey Palpatine

Leia died to distract her son so Rey could kill him?

The Force Ghosts talked to Rey but not Ben?

Rey Skywalker?

Rey buries the lightsabers on Tatooine

Ren ends alone

Luke/Leia incesty vibes

Kylo Ren was only redeemed in his head/can never take back what he did (but … Rey can?)

Parents sold their child into slavery with an abuser in order to protect her? Also, to protect her from WHAT? From becoming all-powerful empress of the galaxy? Thanks a LOT, Mom and Dad!

I personally welcome another Diasterisms Epic. ;)

it’s not concrete; it’s duracrete

viewports are the windows on ships

not a plane; ship or speeder

it’s not steel; it’s durasteel

books are rare; holorecords or datapads

it’s not a glass pane it’s transparisteel

caf is the equivalent of coffee

it’s not paper it’s a flimsi

medcenter is a hospital

It’s not a movie; it’s a holovid

It’s not a phone or cell; it’s a holocom or communicator or just comm (unit).  You normally comm someone instead of call them.

bandaids = bacta patches bathroom = refresher watch/clock = chrono first aid kit = medpack, medkit   motorcycle = speeder bike, swoop bike camera = holocamera internet = holonet shower = sonic shower(?) 

nearly everyone has commlinks but holocomm units are a bit more pricy – think space skype. they’re connected to the holonet.  i don’t think there’s a star wars term for emails (maybe just mail) but those also exist.

personal computing devices are datapads, stationary ones are terminals.  also, you don’t get a stack of physical paper for paperwork; you get a stack of datapads. (although paper is called flimsi, paperwork is still called paperwork. go figure)

kilometers are klicks

a lot of fighter pilot helmets have tongue switches for their commlinks so pilots don’t have to take their hands off the controls during dogfights.  random factoid that might come in handy

some in-universe swearwords: sithspit, sithspawn, fragged, fragging

a hacker is a slicer or codeslicer

Some things I don’t see above:

Plastic is often called plastoid, and I’ve seen the clone troopers’ armor called either just plastoid or plastoid alloy. Plastoid goes for either your thick stuff or your thin sheets. There is a thing called plastifoil, I’ve seen it used in reference to the material of a thermal blanket.

Bucket is a slang in (at least) the GAR for helmet. I don’t know how common it is among stormtroopers.

Your memory card type things, which go into your datapads, are (natch) datachips.

Similarly, your ID is an identichip.

And as far as video recorders, above says camera as holocamera, but I’ve also seen holorecorder.

Also, as far as I’ve seen, though the city on Coruscant covers the entire planet, the city itself is called Galactic City during the Republic and Imperial City (iirc) during the Empire. Triple Zero (or Trip Zip) is a military slang term for Coruscant because of its coordinates 0-0-0.

Lightsabers short out in water unless turned to a special mode beforehand!

I’ve also seen “plastoid” referred to as “plastisteel”.

Pens/pencils are generally referred to as a stylus.
