Doing this to de-stress and do some fun fandom reflecting lol. Here we go!
1. do you find force users or non-force users more interesting?
This is tough. Overall, I find non-force users (Iām including people who were/are force sensitive in canon like Leia but canāt actually manipulate it) a lot more interesting! They tend to be more inventive and diverse in beliefs and perspectives, and their interactions with force users (and their politics) is always a cool dynamic to see!
2. which character do you want to be most like?
Oh, easy. Padme Amidala, hands down. Her passion, vision, hard work and hope make her a wonderful leader- which is something I aspire to be. Additionally, sheās flawed in the sense that sheās naive in her beliefs at times. Sheās far from perfect, but Padmeās legacy (as ignored and hidden as it is in the canon after her death) is obvious in her children and the resistance she inspired. She also parallels Anakin, who in some ways embodies the things I struggle with most in myself. If anyone else came close to being someone Iād want to emulate, it would be the twins. Together they are the best of both their parents.
3. which character are you actually most like?
Yikes. Kinda covered this, but I guess⦠Maybe Luke? Iām not as wild as Anakin, or as passionate as Padme. I feel like Luke is a nice in-between of those two, but more mellow and simple-minded than Leia- in a good way. Heās jaded, but still maintains this sense of young, youthful naivete that Leia didnāt (despite remaining a very hopeful and strong person). Heās a soft boy, you know? I feel like Lukeās ability to come off still full of wonder, knowing how awful things can be, but still choosing to be optimistic- thatās something I can relate to.
4. what headcanon will you defend to the death?
THAT PADME WOULDāVE BEEN A FANTASTIC CHANCELLOR. Seriously, Bail Organa wouldnāt pick some basic for the job and he (at least in one of the books) was eager for her to take over that role from Palpatine. She died too young. Had so much promise. Also, her and Anakin wouldāve been great parents- minus all the political drama.
5. what planet would you most like to visit?
Naboo! Yes, thatās where Padmeās from lol, but more so I just love it. Itās a beautiful planet with lots of water and agriculture. Plus, even if I do see the flaws in itsā political system, any planet that supports the education and empowerment of young women can sign me the hell up.
6. what planet would you most like to live on?
Again, Naboo! Iād love to learn in their schools and travel the natural sites, like rivers and waterfalls.
7. who do you hope you never meet?
Real talk, I hope I never meet Jaba. Snoke, Darth Vader (pre-redemption), other Sith Lords/villains, I donāt care. I mean yeah they would suck, but Jabba forces women to be his sex slaves. Iād rather die than be shoved into some golden skimpy outfit and dance for the pleasure of some slimy, horny slug alien. If I picked someone who isnāt technically evil though, Iād avoid Yoda. Heās more corrupt than he thinks and I wouldnāt want him in my head.
8. what is one thing you would change about any movie, show, book, etc?
Hm. One: Padmeās death. I still donāt think she died because of a loss of a will to live. I firmly believe her kids wouldāve given her hope to move forward, even without the Republic or Anakin. At the very least, futuristic medicine wouldāve kept her hanging on a LITTLE longer than that. Other than that, Iām still torn about Ben Solo in the movies. I think just because I pity Han and Leia, I wanna make him a happy kid who maybe doesnāt destroy everything his parents fought for.
9. have you ever made fanart or fanfic? do you make edits or any other fan content?
Iāve made fanart of Padme before! Itās on my art blog~ Doodled Leia a couple times too, and I have Star Wars OCās Iām fairly attached to
10. do you think the jedi were right or wrong?
WRONG. They were corrupt, too, especially during the Clone Wars era. Allowing clones to be used as disposable war machines, only training and manipulating young kids, being overconfident, controlling/shaming members who donāt follow their ideals, their strict rules and polarizing attitude- all of it was very not okay.
11. who is the most underrated character?
Padme. They practically erased her from canon in a lot of ways so. Anakin and Obi Wan survived the prequel shame because they were pre-established in the original trilogy, but Padme? They straight up try to forget her. Even after all the great book and Clone Wars TV show development tooā¦
12. do you care who reyās parents are?
Sorta? I mean at this point it seems like itās important to her development as a character, so Iād want to know for that alone. I am a little curious though. Personally, the only theory I endorse is that sheās a Kenobi. Sorry āRey Skywalkerā fans, but your theory is pretty baseless.
13. if you could resurrect one dead character, or prevent them from dying, who would it be?
Padme obviously. So she could do the great things she was capable of to their full capacity. If not her, then Qui Gon Jinn or Shmi Skywalker. Jinn wouldāve saved EVERYONE a lot of trouble, and Shmi being used as a plot device for her son after all she went through kinda sucked. I would say Han but we gotta let Harrison Ford off the hook, heās been asking for years, okay?
14. what is your favorite alien species?
The Togruta! Their design, and Ahsokaās character, really sealed the deal for me haha.
15. who would you like to bang?
Honestly? Probably Obi Wan lol. Or Leia. Two very different types, two very different experiences. And of the new trilogy, Poe could get it any day lol.
16. which movie/episode have you watched the most?
The Force Awakens, actually! Itās the only Star Wars movie I got to see in a theater. My mom saw the first Star Wars when it came out and thatās her favorite too- I think the experience made it for both of us lol.
17. what is your favorite line?
āSo this is how liberty dies⦠With thunderous applause.ā In our current political climate, Padme says it best.
18. what is your favorite star wars book or comic?
I donāt have one! I havenāt gotten to read any. Of all the ones Iāve seen clips of though, Leiaās comic looks really great!
19. whatās your opinion on legends/expanded universe?
I love that stuff. I say expand away!
20. what do you hope will happen in future movies?
Theyāll explore ideas and dynamics we havenāt before in the movies- like the Jediās own corruption, the gray area of the force, and more stuff relating to non-force users.
21. if you could switch any characterās gender, who would it be and why?
Nah, I donāt endorse this kind of stuff. I donāt really see gender as making anything that much more interesting beyond itsā use already in canon. Maybe if it added some LGBTQ+ representation or challenged some canon ideal? Ā Or if Leia was a dude just for that Jabba the Hutt scene. It sucked that she was turned into a sexual slave for the sake of plot, and if she was a man it would flip that sexism on itsā head.
BB-8 honestly. I feel like weād get along best is all. Heās like a cute lilā puppy.
23. whatās your favorite star wars musical piece or theme?
Beyond the Stars from the Attack of the Clones. Really beautiful piece.
24. how do you pronounce twiālek?
25. which character do you have a love/hate relationship with?
The Jedi as a whole, really. The council, including Yoda, Anakin and Obi-Wan, are a big gray area for me at times lol.
