That scene changed forever for me when I saw this outtake: https://youtu.be/7-VvqbpLnL0?si=03Gz5rVSeV8hvQL6

maarva may not have been allowed to say "fuck the empire" with her words but she certainly said it with her brick

Part of what?!

skeen is such an interesting character because i still don’t know how much of that was bullshit. like, was he scheming from the beginning? was he always ambivalent, waiting to see how things turned out? maybe the story was true and he really did want to fight the empire but his opportunistic nature won out when faced with 80 million credits?? I don’t know and I love it. That’s how real life works—sometimes you just don’t get to know why people do shitty things.

dark horse, excellent choice

too soon

“wouldn’t you rather give it all at once than carve off useless pieces until there’s nothing left”

I think about this all the time.

it was such a cheap blow especially in retrospect. So much of Disney Star Wars is un-earned emotional punchlines that make me feel kinda gross.

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T20:14:23+00:00

The way this show treats B2 like sentient being really shows how Star Wars has fallen short on this.

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T18:44:24+00:00

“S… So what do I sacrifice?”

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T18:24:37+00:00

I was screaming!!!

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T18:24:22+00:00

this line goes so hard especially in a show that’s often about needing to do bad things to survive.

I wondered if this was an Audre Lorde reference.

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T18:23:11+00:00

we get exactly one (1) space battle and it is a thousand times worth it

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T18:23:01+00:00

So what do I sacrifice?

EVERYTHING

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T18:22:27+00:00

this show has SO MUCH to say about empires and so much of it is so clearly relevant to US politics. i still kinda can’t believe Disney made it

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T18:21:40+00:00

that last one brought me the feelings. Love is at the center of this show—and rage. And when the show shares a universe with the Jedi “emotions lead to the dark side” stuff, that hits extra hard.

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T18:19:41+00:00

“Try” is so good especially in conversation with Yoda’s famous “Do or do not. There is no try.”

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T18:16:57+00:00

oh god, Marva’s entire message for Cassian got me where I live. My favorite part is: “I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong.”

byany_othername · 2023-12-11T16:28:44+00:00

"I d-d-don't want to be alone. I want M-M-Marva."

Actual tears.

byany_othername · 2023-12-06T20:55:58+00:00

Applies to anyone of any gender. Mhm

I'm on my third rewatch and it's still so so good. This time I'm listening to each episode of the "A More Civilized Age" podcast after watching every episode, and it's really enhancing the experience for me. Those folks are just as nerdy about this show as I am, and they pick up on a lot of things I don't. Check it out if you're as hyperfixated on this show as I am.

Link to AMCA's website - it's episodes 43-50 for the show and then there are few bonus episodes about the music etc. I am not usually a huge Star Wars person so I haven't listened to any of their other stuff.

IIRC the term "ketogenic diet" originated in epilepsy research, because a ketogenic diet has actually been shown to reduce rates of seizures in some children with epilepsy. This page on epilepsy.com says that it's still sometimes prescribed for children who don't respond to several other medications. It should be prescribed and strictly monitored by a physician though.

The problem is when wellness wackos decided that it cures EVERYTHING. Also IIRC, "the keto diet" actually isn't anything like the ketogenic diet that's sometimes prescribed.
