I’ve been waiting a year to post this
Fighting for my life in the rainforest cafe
Ahsoka for youre mind and body
Fight fight fight fight then be friends please
I feel as if i was conned… they baited women into liking Star Wars with Rey being the perfect cinderella heroine.
Then they continued the baiting with having more and more women as main characters in supplemental material too and I loved reading all of it.
Jyn in Rogue One, Leia - Bloodlines, Phasma novel, Vi Moradi in Black Spire…
They released straight up romance novels (Lost Stars, A Crash of Fate) and coming of age stories about young girls (Leia princess of Alderaan, Most Wanted - Qira, Rebel Rising - Jyn, Ahsoka, Queen’s Shadow series - Padmé).
I don’t even know what to say about the Women of the Galaxy book that came out a few months back…. It was clearly supposed to be an invitation for women, presentation of what Star Wars is to them now and a promise of equality and respect in the future.
And then they took Rey and made the worst caricature out of her. She was supposed to be someone girls and women could emphatise with and live the story through her eyes…. Live out their heroine’s journey. And instead they made her to be a man’s fantasy, stripping her of her agency, desires, personality, and soul.
Watching this movie felt like being reminded of what is my place in this world instead of bringing me hope that I am a valued human being.
I can either be Rey, a daughter of someone special, without desires, sex and romance, because I have to remain a child for the rest of my days.
Or I can be Leia, a mother which will only bring me heartbreak and suffering, I will be made into CGI robot without feelings and the only way to be relieved of the pain is when I marry my twin brother in the afterlife.
Or I can be Rose, I can dare to fight for change, I can take charge and kiss the boy I like, I can work hard for my education, I can attempt to have it all… up until a point. Up until someone notices. And when people notice that woman is doing these things, that she has her own goals and they are withing her reach, it will be made sure she gets a condescending clap on the back, 1 minute of screentime, and she will be pushed to be less than a backround character, so a man who is a friend of the director and only got the role because of a bet on a sportsteam can take the spotlight.
Rey, After. (part 2)
Rey continues to wrestle with healing old wounds in the Force by restoring the violent planet of Tatooine. Ties into my World Between Worlds Ben Solo series.
Part 1 here
World Between Worlds Ben Solo

the greatest benefit about being a jedi/sith is the flowy robes
Leia The Menace Skywalker + Master Ahsoka Tano AU
Armorer tusken, pass it on
Half blood prince Hermione vs Deathly Hallows Hermione
It's the Order66neverhappened AU!!!! So I had this idea for the clones that after the war and Palps' death the clones kept serving the republic but with other mansions, like humanitarian missions to provide aid to civilians etc (pretty much whatever the military does except for war? I can't explain myself very well fjskfjd i'm sorry) But they can also retire and live a well deserved normal life if they want, let's just say they are finally treated like individual humans and not numbers 😭 And I had this concept of an official ceremony uniform because I love uniforms, so I tried to come up with a decent design even tho i have ZERO knowledge of military ranks and It was hell so please forgive me if It looks horrible!!! I tried to mix the design of the US Navy, star trek and Imperials uniforms with each clone's personalized decorations fjskdj please have mercy I'm so embarassed but I tried my best, I really did 😔
+ bonus concept sketches!!!!
