need to summon the will to see a Complete Unknown this weekend 😭😭😭

thoughts and prayers to whoever does crisis comms and pr for kathleen kennedy

JJ Abrams i am in your walls

as someone whose been working on two Trans Clone OCs, this article by @kixnstyx.bsky.social is a wonderful dive into the writing of trans characters and how it intersects with race. Relevant not just to Star Wars but a lot of media by cis authors. starwarstheory.substack.com/p/trans-clon...

"pablo hidalgo appointed new lucasfilm president" red laser eyes, explosion.png, airhorns

lucasfilm veepstakes is deeply unserious but i am genuinely curious to see who they announce

goals tbh

i know this is not the main point but it’s baffling to me that ppl insist the acolyte cancellation was purely driven by budget and views (the illusion of objective apolitical “math”) given that we r seeing each day the true political power and influence of incel trolls online

carrie coon, leslie bibb and michelle monaghan on the white lotus are unfortunately me and my college roommates in senior year #TheWhiteLotus

I hope the people who told us--when we rang alarm bells about coordinated fascist attacks on diverse media and the artists who make it--to get over it and "go touch grass" reevaluate their ignorance

just realised a bacon egg and cheese is basically a deconstructed carbonara

look at our jury pool man we're never going to get jury nullification 😭😭😭😭

to me Qimir also represents this kind of hyper-rationalist politics, pursuit of “jailbreak” and sociopathy in search of supposed freedom. like many ppl who turn to violence he is hurt/traumatised. makes it all the more sad that the Acolyte is cancelled given its complex political prescience

so fascinated and compelled by the Zizians cult story, self described as “vegan Sith”. as someone who used to work with AI scientists (ugh) just so interesting to see the other, extreme end of the spectrum even if they are operating in the same epistemic space as TESCREAL AI hypists/doomers

sobbed for two hours ! 😀😀😀😀 fml

oh the series where disney forced them to cut out the trans kid playing sports ? yeah not watching that

nickel boys, so good :') exactly what i love to think about historiography and the interplay of archives and memory in the contours of knowledge production. such compelling and thoughtful deployment of medium as it relates to message

omg the acolyte and andor and YJA representation…. i need prints of these NOWWWW

marianne jean-baptiste in hard truths, holy fucking shit. real acting is back

these awful reviews should make it easy for everyone to follow the boycott! www.instagram.com/p/C92nsuvCU78

the people’s cara dune

fact #100… hell yeah. love to see fascism depicted without the abstracting filter of fantasy violence

i don’t think enough star wars fans realise that jon favreau probably sucks and has bad politics. it’s honestly one of the reasons i’m so critical of the mandoverse project overall
